Chapter 399 The Imperial Teacher Was Assassinated
A royal bodyguard was sent from the palace, but there were also a large number of soldiers and horses who came with him.

The imperial guards brought a message that the streets of Beicheng will be closed tonight, no one is allowed to go out, and house-to-house searches will be conducted.

Upon hearing the news, the members of the Xia family immediately knew that something serious must have happened.

Xia An's father took a step forward, secretly slipped a piece of silver to the imperial guard, and then asked in a low voice, "The city was suddenly ordered to be closed, but what happened?"

The imperial guard put the silver into his sleeve calmly, his movements were skillful and his expression was natural. Obviously, he had received countless benefits along the way, which caused his arms to bulge.

"The national teacher was assassinated, and the queen and the eldest prince were very angry. Lord Xia, you should stay at home and don't go out. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will cause trouble to your upper body!" He repeated what many people said, and at the same time patted Xia An's father on the shoulder with a kind look.

The national teacher was killed?Xia An's father froze, his face became serious.

All the streets are guarded by officers and soldiers, and the front of Xia's house is no exception.

Xia An's father ordered the servants to close the door, and motioned for his younger brother to go back to the front hall together.

"Uncle Xia, what happened?" Seeing the preoccupied expressions of Xia An's father and uncle, Mo Haxiu's curiosity was aroused, and he opened his mouth to ask.

Xia An's uncle glanced at him, as if he didn't want to hide it: "The national teacher of the Northern Jin Kingdom was assassinated, and now the entire northern city is blocked, and the murderer is being hunted down."

"Yes, no one is allowed to go out, they must stay at home and wait for the search." Xia An's father looked at Mo Haxiu and Liu Chuqiu, and sighed, "Now that things are up, you two had better not go back, lest you be caught When the suspect is caught, why don't you just stay in Xia Mansion!"

After being assigned to the guest room, Mohaxiu paced back and forth in the room, then leaned on the window and looked out, and said in a particularly displeased way: "A domestic servant was arranged to watch outside the guest room! Did they think it was the two of us?" Assassinated national teacher?"

Liu Chuqiu glanced at him silently, but didn't speak.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Mo Haxiu was unhappy, "Senior brother Liu, I've been with you all the time! Don't think I can't beat you, you can just doubt me!"

What kind of causal logic is this?Liu Chuqiu thought about it, but didn't understand, so he said four words: "The walls have ears."

"What are we afraid of? We are magnanimous in our hearts! We are upright! If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door! Anyone who wants to listen will listen to it!" Mohaxiu issued a declaration with pride, and quickly set up a soundproof formation with his hands and feet.

After finishing the arrangement, he input thought power to activate, then turned around and looked at Liu Chuqiu with a playful smile: "Senior brother Liu, now you won't be afraid of being overheard! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Brother Xiu... has such a thick skin!Liu Chuqiu made a conclusion silently in his heart, and then opened his mouth to express his guess: "I heard what the imperial guards said to Uncle Xia just now, the national teacher was assassinated on the way to the palace to meet the emperor, that is, It is said that the murderer has infiltrated the palace."

It's rare for Liu Chuqiu to say so many things in one breath. Most importantly, his analysis makes sense and provides a very important piece of information.

Mo Haxiu stared at Liu Chuqiu with wide eyes, and the two stared at each other for a long time.Mo Haxiu seemed to have read something from the opponent's eyes, and his two thick eyebrows that were straight and flying slowly frowned.

"According to what you said..." Mo Haxiu touched his chin and pondered, "Xing Nian is in danger now?"

As strong as Liu Chuqiu in his heart, he couldn't help but spit blood secretly at this time.

Liu Chuqiu said with a straight face: "That bastard has seen Xing Nian's body and martial arts. With her current strength, it is not difficult to protect herself."

"That's right!" Mohaxiu slammed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, making a "pop", "But if that kid Tuoba Jueye drags Xing Nian back, it's hard to say."

"The second prince has guards to protect him, so he won't hold back." Even if he didn't clarify his position, Liu Chuqiu was still from the Northern Jin Kingdom. How could he allow others to call the second prince of his own country that kid?So he immediately opened his mouth to defend Tuoba Jueye.

At first Mo Haxiu was purely worried about Mo Xingnian, so he temporarily lost his IQ, but now he calmed down, and immediately understood Liu Chuqiu's meaning: "You mean, it might be..." Xing Nian did it?He asked silently with his eyes.

Liu Chuqiu silently nodded.

"How is it possible?" Mohaxiu raised his eyebrows.

Liu Chuqiu lowered his eyes, thought for a while and said, "In the Walker Association, I saw that there are at least three tasks that are to assassinate the national teacher."

"So what? Couldn't it be other practitioners who did it?" Mohaxiu still didn't believe it.

Liu Chuqiu was silent for a moment: "I'm not sure either. It's just a guess."

"Then you don't need to guess! Absolutely impossible!" Mo Haxiu waved his hand, his tone was firm.

After he finished speaking, Liu Chuqiu had no intention of continuing to speak, so Mo Haxiu angrily withdrew the sound-proof formation.That night, the two of them were in the same room, neither of them was in the mood to sleep, each sitting in a chair with their own thoughts in silence.

Mo Xingnian, who caused the dispute between Mo Haxiu and Liu Chuqiu, was indeed in the palace at this time, and it was in Tuoba Jueye's palace.

At this time, Tuoba Jueye was yelling at the guards outside the palace with a manic face: "Get out! You actually searched my bedroom? Who gave you the courage! Get out!"

"Second Prince, this is an order from the Empress and the First Prince. Every bedroom will be searched..." the guard reported with a perplexed expression.None of them dared to force their way in, and none of them dared to really disobey the will, so they could only stand in a stalemate with Tuoba Jueye.

Tuoba Jueye's face was full of madness, obviously his temper was on the verge of eruption, and killing intent poured out from him.I saw him pulling out his saber in a "babble", pointing at the guards standing at the door of the bedroom: "Don't press me with the queen mother and brother emperor! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

Just when he was about to get mad, a majestic but pleasant voice came over: "What is this for? It's so decent to fight and kill early in the morning?"

Hearing this voice, the guards immediately bowed their heads and knelt down, shouting in unison: "See empress."

At the same time, Tuoba Jueye, who was so mad just now that he wanted to kill someone, immediately hid his saber behind his back like a child who made a mistake, bowed his head and bowed to the visitor: "My child sees the queen mother."

"Exemption—" Although the empress is over thirty years old, she still looks like a young girl in her twenties, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, which is undeniably glamorous.
