Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 242
Of course, this plan will put Ye Chen in a very dangerous situation, but on the one hand, Ye Chen really can't think of any other way, and only by walking around and investigating by himself, can the people in the holy hall feel alert and panic, and dare to take action .On the other hand, Ye Chen is also very confident in his current strength, not to mention that he has a hundred soldiers in the town, as long as he makes a long cry, he can come here in a few breaths.

Sure enough, the moment Ye Chen put the knife in his arms, twenty or thirty rays of light shot in from outside the room.

Ye Chen's eyes were like lightning. At this moment, he could clearly see that there were 31 cold lights in four colors, one was red, one was black, one was purple, and one was as bright as silver.

In fact, he missed it this time, because the light of one of the hidden weapons was almost transparent.Fortunately, his ears are also perverted.What's more, Bai Canghai, Yu Qingyan, Li Junhao and others agreed to this plan, of course they had considered Ye Chen's own safety relatively thoroughly.For example, the treasure that Yu Qingyan spent half a year carefully crafting on his body.

These hidden weapons came in from the three windows of this room.

At the same time, Wang Yizhi jumped up suddenly, and a pair of pale hands suddenly turned black, even with a faint black, and grabbed Ye Chen's throat like lightning.

Now, in this world, there may be people who can hide from Ye Chen's ears or nose, and lurk within ten feet of him, but they are definitely not the one outside.So, ever since Ye Chen left the inn, Ye Chen has already discovered that there is such a person secretly following him.

Just now, people outside were beating faster, ready to make a move, of course he also noticed it.

If there is discovery and awareness, there will naturally be preparations.

When Ye Chen took the hand that put the knife out of his arms, there was an extra khaki thing in his hand.

With the sound of clicking, clicking, this thing began to grow bigger, and it turned into an umbrella in an instant.

All the hidden weapons just hit the umbrella surface, making the sound of gold and stone colliding.

Wang Yizhi's movement was as fast as the wind, and he easily dodged the umbrella, changed the target of the attack from the throat to the heart, and continued to grab Ye Chen.

In the blink of an eye, the umbrella retracted fiercely, and then a flash of sword light flashed, and Wang Yizhi's black claw stopped half an inch away from Ye Chen's heart, because his throat had already been pierced by Ye Chen's sword.

Wang Yizhi fell down with an inconceivable and unbelievable face. If there was no umbrella to cover him, he could still see Ye Chen's sword clearly in advance. With his body skills and strength, he would never be stabbed to death by Ye Chen with a single sword. It is possible to dodge.Unfortunately, that umbrella blocked Ye Chenjian's trajectory.Of course, this was within Ye Chen's plan.

Just as Ye Chen rushed out of the room, there was already a knife light on the opposite roof, sweeping up like a blue rainbow, turning around in the air, and stabbing towards him like an arrow.

This slash was fast and dangerous, and he wanted to kill him in the ground with one slash, so there was no room for this slash at all.

Ye Chen didn't back down, nor did he dodge, instead he flew towards the knife light.

The assassin was obviously taken aback, and with a flick of the blade, he wanted to slash Ye Chen's throat in mid-air, but his strength was no longer enough.

Ye Chen swung his left arm out, facing Daoguang with his small arm, with a bang, Ye Chen's right arm was intact, but the sleeve was torn, and a black armguard could be seen on his small arm.

A strong force was transmitted from the blade to the handle, and the assassin's tiger's mouth was instantly shattered.Just as the hand holding the knife was released, the handle of the knife hit his chest. With a "click", two of his ribs were broken.

With Ye Chen's current strength and his real energy in Xiu, there are few people in the Jianghu who can bear the head-on situation.

When the assassin fell from mid-air to the ground, he couldn't help but let out a sigh like a dying beast.

But Ye Chen never thought of killing him. The situation forced him to kill Wang Yizhi just now. Their plan was to capture the other person alive, and then use the strange medicine Yu Qingyan brought from the ghost doctor to ask him out. the truth.

Ye Chen hadn't learned the magical skill of acupuncture, so he was going to knock this person out first.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard an almost faint sound of breaking through the air behind him.At the same time, he also saw a flash of a figure and a flash of sword light in the pupils of the assassin on the ground.

He didn't hear wrong, and he didn't read wrong.

His reaction was fast enough, so he didn't die under the sword.Because he has twisted his body to open the umbrella.

Although his reaction was quick, his clothes were still torn by the cold sword energy.The incoming swordsmanship is superb, not weaker than him, and has reached the ranks of first-class masters.

As the sword light flashed, he saw an old woman in black with gray hair, but he didn't see her face clearly.

Because what happened in this instant, even with his eyesight, did not allow him to observe and think at all.

With a stab of a sword, Ye Chen turned around and opened the umbrella, and the assassin whose ribs were broken had already rolled out on the spot.The old woman's sword light pierced the umbrella, Ye Chen's body shook, and a hole was broken in the umbrella with a click. Ye Chen pulled the umbrella horizontally, slightly deflecting the opponent's sword, and the umbrella was almost scrapped.

Ye Chen took the opportunity to take three steps back, but the old woman's sword was chasing after him, as fast as lightning, stabbing Ye Chen's heart again.

Ye Chen also stabbed out his own sword.

The tips of the two swords met, and the two felt a strong force coming from the other's sword at the same time, their faces changed slightly, and they each took three steps back.

This black-clothed old woman is undoubtedly a super master among the first-rate swordsmen.

Not only is she quicker in swordsmanship, but also faster in reaction, not only in quicker reaction, but also in her judgment.She knew that it would be difficult for her to kill Ye Chen today, and Ye Chen's personal soldiers had already rushed here.Therefore, as soon as she stabilized her figure, her person immediately rushed out at an astonishing speed.

Of course she swept upwards, and the angle of her sweeping was very oblique. In order to avoid the opponent's backhand, this angle is undoubtedly the safest one.

But she is still not at ease, she is undoubtedly a very cautious person who cherishes her own life very much.

So after she swept up, she turned over in the air and changed to a safer angle.

Ye Chen was regretting that in order to pretend to hide his identity, he didn't bring his precious bow, otherwise he would be able to keep the opponent behind with an arrow.

Movement has always been Ye Chen's weakness, and he can only watch the old woman in black disappear into the night, but his nose twitches, but he has already remembered the smell of this woman.

The man in black whose ribs were injured by Ye Chen was seriously injured after all, so he couldn't run far, and was stopped by Ye Chen's personal soldiers, but the moment he caught him, the man bit his tongue and injected poison pills, committing suicide up.

Ye Chen returned to the inn with a group of guards.Seeing Ye Chen come back safely, Yu Qingyan let out a long breath. Ever since Ye Chen left the inn, her heart has been on her throat.

After Ye Chen came back, he issued the first order, which was to recall all the guards who lived in the private houses back to the inn, then drive out the boss and the waiter in the inn aggressively, and make all the guards stay vigilant.

At first, he just felt that the thief must be hiding in Heiquan Town, but now he vaguely felt that everyone in Shuiquan Town might be a thief.He led the snake out of the hole just now, but failed to catch the snake. He had already startled the opponent, and he had to prevent the opponent from making another move.

"Qingyan! If it wasn't for your ink umbrella this time, I might have been injured." Ye Chen said in the room, took out the broken ink umbrella and handed it to Yu Qingyan.

When Yu Qingyan heard that her ink umbrella had played a great role, she was also delighted. She didn't say much, took the ink umbrella and went back to her room to repair it.She was well prepared this time and brought a lot of tools and materials.

After Yu Qingyan left, Ye Chen began to summarize what he had learned tonight.

Overall, the plan went smoothly tonight. Although not one thief was caught, two clues were found.

The first is the fingerprints on Liu Lei's knife, and the second is the smell of the old woman.The most important thing is that the opponents only know what clues Ye Chen has found, but they don't know what clues Ye Chen has found.

Now, there is no need to hide your identity, and the next step is naturally to investigate based on these two clues.

As for worrying that the thieves would escape from Heiquan Town, Ye Chen never worried about it, because the five hundred Huaxia Guards he left outside the town had already besieged the town in secret, and as long as anyone left the town, they would be killed Catch it first.

As soon as the next day dawned, Ye Chen simply took on the disguise mask to reveal his identity, and his hundred soldiers also put back on the straight blue outfit that Ye Chen specially designed for Huaxiawei.

With Ye Chen's order, 50 of the [-] soldiers were divided into groups of ten, and they went to each house to invite people from the town to the street in front of the inn.Ye Chen's approach was very cautious, he would rather spend more effort than let the group of ten not be separated.

Ye Chen's side now represents the imperial court, no one resists, everyone is obedient, the process is going smoothly, there are more than 400 residents in the town, three of them come and one of them comes, and two people are missing, just right Go to Wang Yizhi, the coffin shop owner who died last night, and the black-clothed assassin.

Next, people from the town entered the inn one by one, and were summoned by Ye Chen for questioning. Everyone was asked three questions by Ye Chen.And everyone was asked the same three questions.

The first one to come in was the little beggar. He looked at Ye Chen with admiration, his eyes shining.

"Who is the richest in your town?"

"My Lord, the richest person in our town is Yuanwai Wei. His mansion alone occupies one-fifth of the size of the town. All the fields outside the town belong to his family, and most of the shops in the town are Theirs."

"Why did the brothel in your town suddenly close down?"

"My lord, I heard that this villain is because... because the brothel is haunted."

"Is there anything special about the black spring water in your town?"

"My lord, apart from the fact that the water in this black spring is black, I haven't heard anything special about it."

After asking the three questions, Ye Chen said expressionlessly: "Your answer just now is very important, so you have to press your fingerprints, um...press all the fingerprints of each finger of both hands."
