Traitor

Chapter 240 Serial Killing 3
No matter what happened outside, it has nothing to do with Zhao Wuyou now, she just needs to stay safely in the barren palace.Seeing the maids moving the chessboard in, Zhao Wuyou smiled helplessly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the queen and Jin'er walking in with a smile.

Wen Gu didn't understand what it meant, and looked at Zhao Wuyou worriedly.

"It's okay." Zhao Wuyou took a sip of water without changing his indifferent expression.

Ye Jin'er smiled and said, "This time, Mr. Zhao is willing to play a good game of chess with me, right?"

"As long as you are queen, you don't have to bully me anymore, coaxing me to tell stories about those talents, and you don't have to spend so much trouble playing a game of chess." Zhao Wuyou smiled as before.

"Okay!" Ye Jin'er nodded, and said to the maidservants around, "Go down, there is no need to serve here."

"Doctor Wen, you also go out first." Zhao Wuyou understood what the queen meant.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Gu nodded, and walked slowly outside.

Only Queen Huanglan and Zhao Wuyou were left in the hall, they were called playing chess, but they each had their own thoughts.Zhao Wuyou figured it out with his toes, the queen probably came to spy again, but if she was not allowed to succeed, he probably would have a hard time.

Therefore, why bother with yourself?

"Master Zhao must also know about General Yanxin, he is dead." Ye Jin'er bet a sunspot.

Zhao Wuyou didn't raise his eyes to look at her, Gu Zi squeezed the white piece in his hand, and dropped the chessboard without thinking, "Do you know, what does it have to do with me? It's no good for the imprisoned to know too much, you should be anxious You can only be anxious, can't you?"

Ye Jin'er smiled, "Master Zhao is really kind."

"It's not a question of tolerance, Zuo is just helpless, so just listen to it, and don't take it to heart, and you can live a more comfortable life." Zhao Wuyou put down the pawn, "Queen, do you think so?"

Ye Jin'er took a deep breath, "Cheng Wen told me that Mr. Zhao is a rare talent."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your appreciation. I'm not a talent. It's just that there are more people who eat people, so I know the rules of eating people, and it's easier to know where to start. This is actually the same as playing chess with the queen, after all. I was thinking about where I would go next, so Your Majesty blocked the way for me in advance." Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "Look, Queen Madam's skill in chess is so good that Wuyou is really far behind."

"Master Zhao didn't do his best." Ye Jin'er said meaningfully, "I won't win by force."

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "In the eyes of the empress, Zhao Wuyou has not done his best, but to me, he has already tried his best. So, after all, the empress and I will never see each other."

After the sound fell, Ye Jin'er chuckled a few times, "Talk to Mr. Zhao, you really have to be careful, otherwise Mr. Zhao will say all the fallacies into the right way by accident, and I will be on the way if I don't pay attention. "

Sighing lightly, Ye Jin'er raised her eyes to look at her, "Lord Zhao is so smart, it's a pity that I, Huanglan, don't have such talents. It's no wonder that the emperor of Daye has been in power for so many years, and this Daye is still able to live in peace and prosperity."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Could it be that the empress wants to say that the Zhao family father and son have controlled the government for many years and have been in trouble for Daye for many years, but they are actually similar to General Barry."

Ye Jiner paused and was at a loss for words.

"I can't have any private agreement with Huang Lan on behalf of Daye, so the empress queen should not get her ideas on me. I have my father above me. If the empress thinks that I can act on behalf of the Zhao family, then it is wrong. "Zhao Wuyou finally raised his head to look at her, his slender hand like jade gently pinched a white ball.

Rubbing the chess piece with her fingertips, she smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about me. Although my father is the prime minister of Daye, and I am a first-rank official, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. How dare you do it for me? The more you live Gao Ge, the less you dare to make mistakes. Does your lady understand what I mean?"

Ye Jin'er smiled wryly, "Master Zhao always looks at people and things so sharply? I haven't opened my mouth yet, and you have already blocked the way for me."

"I can't help it. The ugly words must be said first, so as not to hurt the peace." Otherwise, when the queen speaks out, if Zhao Wuyou refuses again, it will be just to refute face and make the queen unable to step down.

At that time, no one has a good face.

Ye Jin'er dropped the chess piece, "Master Zhao has won."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile.

Ye Jin'er was stunned for a while, how long has it been, and the situation on the chessboard has come to an end.Surviving a desperate situation seems to be a big problem, especially when facing someone like Zhao Wuyou.

"You..." Ye Jin'er frowned, undecided.

Zhao Wuyou smiled, and slowly picked up the sunspots that he had eaten, "From the first step of the game, I knew that the empress had something on her mind. If it was just about Yanxin, we would have passed the anger earlier, empress." There's no need to worry at all."

The chess pieces fell back into the chess box with a clatter, and then looked at the few black pieces on the chessboard that were "eaten" by him, Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "When my father taught me how to play chess, he told me I still remember what you said." She looked up, "Do you want to listen, Madam?"

Ye Jin'er looked at her, "I don't know what it is?"

Zhao Wuyou recalled, "My father said that life is a game of chess. If you don't want to be a chess piece, then be a chess player. If you can't be a chess player, you should be the last chess piece on the chessboard. Life and death, so that you can live for a long time. If you only play chess as an interest and fail to go all out, your life will become someone else's interest."

"What Prime Minister Zhao said is too profound." Ye Jin'er took a deep breath, "But after thinking about it, there is some truth."

"That's why no matter what I do, I have to treat it as life and death." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Although it seems a bit hypocritical to say so, it is so cruel in front of reality."

Ye Jin'er put down the chess piece in his hand, "I lost."

"It's not terrible to lose. What's terrible is that you will lose every time in the future." Zhao Wuyou also put down the chess piece, "There is a shadow in my heart, and I can't get out of it anymore. I hope that Wuyou will not become the shadow of the queen, and I also hope that I Daye can befriend Huanglan forever. There is no war in the world, Haiyan and Heqing."

Jin'er responded with a smile, "But you are too smart."

"Smart people don't always live long." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully, "So don't worry about the Queen." She coughed twice, no matter what time it was, this face would always be extremely pale and bloodless.

Hearing this, Ye Jin'er frowned and looked at her. Li Yi said that Zhao Wuyou's health was very poor, and he fell ill repeatedly on the way here.So what Zhao Wuyou said today probably meant it seriously.

Zhao Wuyou's body was indeed weak, and now that his injuries hadn't healed, he looked extremely weak.Although the dying sick young man has clever means, as she herself said, the smarter a person is, the shorter his life will be.

After all—the sky is jealous of talents, the smarter people worry more, so...

Standing up with a sigh, Zhao Wuyou took a look at the excellent sky outside, "This kind of sunshine is really nice."

Ye Jin'er was puzzled, "Master Zhao seems to be seriously ill."

"It's nothing, no matter whether you're sick or not, you're bound to die." Zhao Wuyou smiled gently, as if speaking something irrelevant to him, without any sadness, "As long as I'm still alive, it's a gift from God. Who Knowing tomorrow or the accident, which one will come first?"

Ye Jin'er was stunned by Zhao Wuyou, and her heart beat a little.

Waiting for Ye Jin'er to leave, Wen Gu frowned and entered the door, "What exactly does this queen want to do? We have already taken her hostage here, what else does she want? Don't you feel relieved?"

"It's not that she's worried about this time, she's just worried that something will happen if I go back to court." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "In the land of desolation, having such a mother is also a blessing to the people of Desolation."

Wen Gu snorted, "She is considered a blessing in the wild, but in my opinion, it may not be a blessing for you and me. When she came in, I saw it as a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken. She has no good intentions. Let's help her If she regains power, she may not be able to fulfill her promise."

"So she wanted to give me a choice, but it's a pity that I lost the way." Zhao Wuyou looked at the beautiful sky outside, with a warm smile still on his face.

Wen Gu was taken aback, "What? Then will they finish dealing with Hu Lei and the others, and finally turn around and deal with you?"

"Yes." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "So I need you to say a few words and do something."

"Just tell me." Wen Gu said.

"If people from Huang Lan want to ask you about my condition, you can tell me the truth, even if I say I'm dying soon." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Change all the soup and medicine, as for the replacement What, don't I need to remind you again?"

After thinking about it, he nodded solemnly.

After leaving Zhao Wuyou's prison, Ye Jin'er sighed softly, looking at Li Yi who had been waiting on the palace road, her brows darkened.

Li Yi quickly greeted him, "How about the queen?"

"Zhao Wuyou is too smart, I was rejected before I even spoke." Ye Jin'er walked forward slowly, "I didn't have the chance to speak, so it's not shameful, Zhao Wuyou gave me enough to step down. But... as you said, this Zhao Wuyou is too dangerous. If he returns to Daye, it will be like adding wings to a tiger for Daye, which is not a good thing for us, Huang Lan."

Li Yi nodded, "This is what Weichen thinks. If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. If some threats can be eradicated, it is best..."

Ye Jin'er waved his hand, "Don't act rashly for the time being, I heard Zhao Wuyou said that there seems to be something else hidden, is there any news from the spies who went to Daye?"

"Probably within one or two days." Li Yi said, "Why is this, Your Majesty?"

"Zhao Wuyou's health is not very good, and it seems that his life is not long." Ye Jin'er stared, "I can't believe what Zhao Wuyou said, so I need more conclusive evidence. If this is the case, we There is no need to kill them all, after all, killing the envoys of Daye is easy to prove, and it will bring endless disasters."

Li Yi nodded, "Your Majesty's words are very true."

Ye Jin'er let out a long breath, what did this young man eat to grow up, how did he have such a delicate heart?

Because of the lessons learned from the past, the Wangcheng tonight is particularly heavily guarded.If it is said that Barry's death makes people doubt, then it is a certainty that Yanxin died of homicide, and the murderer has not been found yet, so why not make people panic?

The temperature difference between day and night is huge, but Mu Baili thinks that the temperature difference can't be so big. It's cold to the bone, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable and anxious.In the dark tent, Mu Baili sat quietly alone.

When Lu Guoan came in, he couldn't see what his Lord Chitose looked like, but he only vaguely felt that the room was very cold.It's not that he really feels cold, Zuo just feels a little creepy.

"Grandpa?" Lu Guoan held the tray, "Grandpa didn't eat tonight, he will starve to death, let's eat some!"

With a sigh, Mu Baili didn't speak.

Lu Guoan stepped forward, lowered his voice and continued, "Everything is going well for Mr. Zhao in the palace, and everything is safe, not to mention Wen Gu is by his side, so nothing will happen. I definitely dare not do anything to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao is so smart, how can he be slaughtered by others. If he can be bound into the Huanglan Palace with his hands tied, he has planned it a long time ago."

Mu Baili let out a long breath, rubbing his forehead and rubbing the center of his brows. In the darkness, he could only hear his deep voice, which was a little tired and hoarse, "I know that she is very intelligent, but the situation is too chaotic. It's easy to hide from the open spear, but hard to defend from the dark. Even though Wen Gu has excellent footwork, he can indeed protect her from leaving the palace safely, but—"

"What I am worried about is not her comprehensiveness now, but that she has done these things for Huang Lan. Huang Lan may not let her go. An opponent who is too smart should disappear after using everything. Edge Too Lu, it must be..."

Lu Guoan put down the tray in his hand, and sighed in the dark, "I should understand that Mr. Zhao did this with good intentions. Mr. Zhao put all the sharpness on his body alone, so that Lord Qiantose can get out of his body It is also a helpless move to show your sharpness."

"It is precisely because I know that I am worried." Mu Baili stood up slowly, "Huanglan is not Daye. If something happens in the royal city, I will be beyond my reach. For the first time in my life, I feel frustrated and feel powerless. Although it is for the future, the premise of this future is today."

"Lord Zhao knew that Lord Qiantose would take care of her, so he made a choice for Lord Qiantose early on. Didn't you say that they have nothing to do with each other? Lord Qiantose knows it well, so why bother to be in a cocoon? The so-called authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are clear, Lord Qiantose is still..." Lu Guoan settled down, "Take care of yourself, so that Master Zhao can rest assured. If Master Zhao knew about Lord Qiantose's restlessness, he might have to make fun of Lord Qiantui. Such a love for children is long and heroic is short of breath."

Mu Baili suddenly laughed, indeed, if Zhao Wuyou knew that he was so anxious, he might have to think hard to ridicule him.There was not a single good word in this girl's mouth, but what she said was from her heart.

With a chuckle, Mu Baili walked towards the outside slowly, "The Royal City should not be too quiet tonight."

Lu Guoan followed closely behind, "It's good news if you're not quiet, but if you're too quiet, it may not be good news."

The moonlight was excellent, he thought about whether she, who was surrounded by white mud bricks and tiles, was also enjoying the moon at this moment?

"Is there no movement from Jian Yan?" Mu Baili asked.

Lu Guoan nodded, "With people staring at him closely, even if he wants to make a move, he can't make a fuss. Now it's the critical time, how can we allow him to act recklessly and ruin our plan."

Mu Baili frowned, "The situation in Huanglan is unstable now, and the security is so high that even eagles and falcons can't fly in. Be careful, and report immediately if there is news from Dongchang."

"I understand!" Lu Guoan saluted, "As long as there is news from Lishan, I will report it immediately, and I will never dare to delay the important matter of the master."

"I hope this time, Shen Yan can bring accurate good news." Mu Baili's eyes darkened, and he stood with his hands behind his back.

The moonlight is cold, and the body is like jade.

Wangcheng is uneasy again.

The Hefeng General's Mansion was heavily guarded, a large number of soldiers surrounded the General's Mansion, fearing that the scene of yesterday would happen again.Everyone's eyes widened, beware of the sudden arrival of the ghost of the night.

In the darkness, someone came slowly and quickly rushed into the high wall.

"Who is it?" The sergeant roared and surrounded the shadows.

The black robe and cloak were slowly lifted, revealing Hu Lei's cold face, and his sharp eyes ruthlessly gouged out all the people present.Everyone withdrew immediately, the people in General Hefeng's mansion naturally recognized Hu Lei, so they didn't dare to neglect him.

Everyone knew that General Hu Lei must be looking for his master when he came here, so before Hu Lei could speak, he was led to the study.At this moment, He Feng was discussing with his lieutenant general, when someone outside reported that General Hu Lei had arrived.

Startled, He Feng glanced at his lieutenant general, "What is he doing here?"

The lieutenant frowned, with worried eyes, "These things just happened during the day, and they came at night. Could it be..." After a pause, the lieutenant said again, "General, the slave of General Yanxin said , the last person who saw General Yanxin was General Hulei, is there something in it... it's better to be careful."

"I don't believe it anymore. In my own mansion, I dare to do something to me in full view." He Feng sneered twice, "Go down."

"Yes!" The lieutenant saluted and stepped back quickly.

Not long after, Hu Lei walked in.

With the door closed, the candlelight swayed in the wind.

"Why are you here?" He Feng asked.

Hu Lei sneered twice, "I'm just here to explain what happened during the day."

"Since that is the case, why do you have to climb over the wall? Your reason is too far-fetched, I am afraid no one will believe it." He Feng smiled coldly, "Do you know that so many people in my General He Feng's mansion have seen it?" You, a general who climbed over the wall and came in, isn’t it a laughing stock? If you don’t know, you think there is no door in my general’s mansion!”

"I do have injuries, but I am not the murderer." Hu Lei sighed softly, "You should know that if too many people know that I have injuries, they will definitely think that I am the murderer who killed General Barry and Yanxin , but I am not, I did not kill."

"Since you didn't kill anyone, and you behaved well, why hide and hide." He Feng narrowed his dangerous eyes, "You came to me in the middle of the night, do you think I know too much, so you want to kill me too? As long as I die, the general's army will all belong to you, and no one can match you anymore?"

Hu Lei frowned, "What are you talking nonsense about? I said I didn't kill it, why don't you believe me?"

"Why should I believe you?" He Feng straightened up, "You broke into my house in the middle of the night, only you know what you are thinking. If I hadn't stepped up my guard tonight, would you have decided to kill me? Just like you killed the general and Yanxin?"

"It's not me!" Hu Lei yelled, "I didn't know what happened to me that night. I slept until dawn, and then found that my right shoulder was injured. I don't know what happened that night. "

"You just want to solve all the problems just because you don't know?" He Feng naturally didn't believe it, "If you didn't come this time, I still have some trust in you, but if you come... If you have enough reasons to suspect, you are the murderer. This is called a guilty conscience! If you didn't kill someone, why should you be afraid of my suspicion?"

Hu Lei smiled coldly, "It's simply stubborn. I have injured my right shoulder, how can I still kill you? You are already on guard against me, can I still kill you?"

He walked out, looking very annoyed and angry.

He Feng frowned, "You really didn't kill anyone?"

Hu Lei stopped in his tracks and shot quickly.

The speed of the lightning and flint made He Feng startled, and hurriedly retreated to avoid Hu Lei's palm.Before it was too late, He Feng flew up, and landed in the courtyard with a beautiful somersault, and immediately shouted, "Come on!"

The sound of footsteps coming one after another did not stop He Feng from fighting against Hu Lei.

This sudden thunder shot very fast, even if his right arm is inconvenient, when facing Hefeng, the move is fatal.With the scimitar out of its sheath, He Feng knew for the first time that Hu Lei's left hand was also so nimble. Although it was slightly weaker than his right hand, it was very likely that he would die in his hands if he was so unguarded.

A large number of sergeants surrounded the courtyard on the third floor and the outer three floors. This situation almost made Hu Lei a turtle in an urn.

"Why did you kill the general?" He Feng shouted angrily.

Suddenly he shouted, "It's clear that you were the one who set me in a trap, and now you still have the face to ask me? He Feng, today I will avenge the general and Yan Xin!"

The sergeants around were taken aback by what the two said, but one thing is certain, that is, one of them must be the murderer, but who is the murderer?
According to what he said, it was either General He Feng or General Hu Lei.

But no matter which general it is, these sergeants can't say anything about it. The army has military laws and military orders like a mountain. How can these sergeants dare to take action easily, otherwise they will let the real murderer go, and they will be guilty of accomplices in the future.

Everyone is watching, unsure of paying attention.

Suddenly, Hu Lei withdrew his hand suddenly, and He Feng's palm landed on Hu Lei's chest.With the help of He Feng's palm, Hu Lei flew up, jumped out of the wall, and disappeared into the night.

But since the battle has already been fought in full view, there is no reason to give up halfway.It is easy to get red-eyed and blinded when fighting.

Therefore, seeing Hu Lei retreating, He Feng immediately rushed after him.

The lieutenant panicked, "Follow up! Be sure to protect the general!"

But the two people's footsteps were extremely fast, and when everyone chased them outside the door, the two had already disappeared.All of a sudden, everyone panicked, and the entire royal city boiled instantly.

He Feng's army searched from house to house, searching for the traces of these two people all over the city.

If you accidentally lost your master, what's the deal?

But even if they searched all over the city, they couldn't find these two people, so where could this be?

Suddenly someone came to report that General He Feng had entered General Hulei's mansion and slaughtered it.This matter is going to be a big one, Hu Lei's charges have not yet been determined, He Feng rushed to kill the whole family, isn't it clear that he threw himself into the quagmire, and made him black all over?

This is good, no one thinks that it was Hu Lei who killed Barry and Yan Xin, but He Feng...

The plot reversed so quickly that even He Feng's lieutenant could not wake up.

Before he woke up, his master became the biggest beneficiary of this incident, in other words, he became the final murderer.Because Huang Lan's generals in charge of military power were all dead, He Feng became the sole ruler.

He Feng was still killing people, and when the army rushed in, everyone was stunned on the spot.

The entire General Hulei's mansion was full of dead bodies, including old and young, women and children.Many sergeants were hacked to the ground, while the rest of the sergeants did not dare to move forward.

This appalling situation left everyone at a loss.

There was a deafening sound of horseshoes outside, and Chiduo led the army to break in. Seeing this situation at first sight, Chiduo was really stunned.Fortunately, he quickly regained his senses, and immediately ordered, "What are you still doing, take it down!"

The sergeant rushed forward, and the lieutenant flew straight to the maddened He Feng.If he didn't stop it at this time, He Feng would go crazy.But what happened, no one knows.

There is only one thing that everyone knows best, and that is that He Feng is killing people in General Hulei's mansion.This alone is enough to discredit He Feng's statement.Murder is a felony, an unforgivable crime.

He Feng's strength is very strong, I don't know why he went crazy to this point, even the lieutenant general couldn't restrain him, in the end it was Chi Duo who shot himself, and captured the red-eyed He Feng.

"I'm going to kill you!" He Feng gritted his teeth, the man saw the look of wanting to eat people, and the man panicked in his heart, just like an evil spirit reappearing, his face was ferocious and terrifying.

Chi Duo landed on the back of He Feng's neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious, "Go search immediately and see where General Hu Lei is."

"Yes!" Everyone started searching.

Chiduo looked coldly at the fainting He Feng, his eyes were slightly cold.

Not long after, a sergeant ran over in panic, "General, it's not good! General Hulei..."

Hearing this, Chiduo quickly followed the sergeant forward.In Hu Lei's room, Hu Lei was lying on the ground upright, his eyes opened angrily, it was obvious that he was dying.In Hu Lei's hand, he was still holding a blood-stained scimitar, and he thought he had struggled in his lifetime.

Chiduo leaned over to check, there was a knife wound on Hu Lei's neck, the blood had solidified, and the wound was clearly cut from left to right, which was consistent with the method used to kill Barry and Yan Xin.

Getting up slowly, Chi Duo looked at the overturned incense burner, "Take that thing back!"

There are still unburned spices in the censer. It is actually very strange to find the censer in the general's study.Hu Lei doesn't seem to have the habit of burning incense, so this is very suspicious.

But the slave said, "Since the death of General Barry, the master has been feeling unwell and has been suffering from headaches. This is the spice given by the witch doctor, which is specially used to cure headaches. Therefore, the general's bedroom has been burning incense for the past few days. fragrant."

"Go and get the witch doctor." Chi Duo turned around, "Temporarily put General He Feng in the sky prison until the king and queen make a decision."

Not to mention anything else, this felony murder cannot escape.
