Zhang Liang shook his head, and said: "When I led Ziming back, I had already reported to the senior brother who is in charge. The senior brother was also noncommittal."

"Prince Qin is really confusing!"

After many years of practicing the method of sitting and forgetting the mind, Yan Lu's cultivation base has already been practiced to the point of calmness, and after returning from Baiyue, his cultivation base has improved even more.It's just that what happened recently is really important, which caused his state of mind to change again, and he couldn't calm down.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The sky is blue and the clouds are white.

Last night, Xiaoyaozi and the Mo family wanted to take advantage of Crown Prince Qin's first arrival and take advantage of the unsteady foothold, to take back the Yuhua Pill in his hand.Unexpectedly, someone took the first step, and it was the failure of the assassination that made Xiaoyaozi and others' plan to seize the alchemy temporarily stranded.

When the group retreated to the Mo family's stronghold outside Songhai City, it happened to be raining heavily.However, the rain in summer falls quickly and stops quickly. When the sun rises at noon the next day, where is there any trace of rain?

"Which faction was it that assassinated Prince Qin last night? Xiao Zhi, have you investigated clearly?"

In the room where the six leaders of the Mohist School were discussing affairs, Gao Jianli asked the bandit Zhi who had just returned.

Robber Zhi shook his head and said: "No. But this matter has spread throughout the entire Sanghai overnight, and now everyone in the world knows that Prince Qin has come to Sanghai. I can't see it for two days, the whole Qilu Everyone should know about it. The purpose of the people behind it should not be that simple."

"What Robber Zhi said is not unreasonable." Xiaoyaozi nodded. As the head of the Taoist sect and an ally of the Mohist family, Xiaoyaozi would be invited by the Mohist school as long as it was not a meeting involving the core secrets of the Mohist sect. business countermeasures.

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiaoyaozi, only to hear him continue to say: "Last night's assassins all dived from the sea, and did not disturb Prince Qin's guards in Haiyue Xiaozhu. To have such excellent water skills, and cultivated Those who are not vulgar should not be ordinary people from the rivers and lakes."

"Indeed, but what are the forces behind these assassins planning to do?" Master Ban asked.

"Let Prince Qin's whereabouts be exposed in broad daylight. When everyone's eyes are on him, then it may not be easy for Prince Qin to do what he wants to do!" Gao Jianli said after thinking about it.

"If Chief Gao Jianli's speculation is correct, then the person who sent the assassin this time is probably not from a power in the Jianghu, but from within the empire." Xiaoyaozi said.

"Everyone, Xiang Liang, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, and Xiang Shaoyu, the young lord, have arrived outside the village." While the meeting was in progress, the Mohist disciples outside suddenly reported back.

For the sudden visit of the Xiang family, the people in the house were quite surprised.

"Please." Gao Jianli and the others got up and went to meet them. After a few greetings, they invited Xiang Liang and Xiang Shaoyu into the house.

"What's going on? As soon as Shaoyu and I arrived in Sanghai, we heard about the assassination of Prince Qin last night." After everyone sat down, Xiang Liang asked.

Gao Jianli told about the matter of seizing the pill with Xiaoyaozi last night and everyone's speculation just now.

"So that's the case!" Xiang Liang nodded and said.

"Brother Xiang Liang, you were ordered by His Royal Highness Xiong Xin to recruit the old troops in Chu, how come you have the time to come to Sanghai?" Gao Jianli asked.

"I got the news in Chu that His Highness Xiong Xin was missing, so I couldn't stop worrying, so I came to look for it with Shaoyu. Moreover, Shaoyu also said that I miss Tianming, so I came to the land of Sanghai to pay a visit to the brothers of the Mo family." Xiang Liang said.Now Fan Zeng is handling the affairs of the entire Xiang clan in Chu, so Xiang Liang has nothing to worry about.But the disappearance of Xiong Xin made him very worried.Because all the actions of the Xiang clan in Chu, including gathering the old tribes and recruiting Chu officials, were all carried out in the name of son Xiong Xin.

"I don't know if Mr. Xiaoyao has any news about His Royal Highness Xiong Xin?"

"Wangqing suddenly disappeared that day, and no one knew his whereabouts. Afterwards, I also asked the sect's disciples to search secretly, but I didn't find any information." Xiaoyaozi also sighed helplessly when talking about his disciple.

"Is that so?" Xiang Liang sighed with a blank expression on his face.I thought Renzong and the Mo family might have news about His Highness Xiong Xin, but who knows, they still found nothing.

"Big event!" Pao Ding ran into the place where the leaders of the Mohists were discussing, and said out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Gao Jianli asked.

"Shi Lan, Prince Qin's subordinate, came to an inn this morning to find me, and asked me to go to Haiyue Xiaozhu to cook for Prince Qin."

"Shi Lan!" Hearing the news, it was Xiang Shaoyu who reacted the most in the room.At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu has lost a lot of fat after Chudi's training, and his eyes have become sharp again.

Xiang Shaoyu's strange behavior quickly caught the attention of the people in the room. He looked embarrassed and explained: "I have fought her before, but I didn't expect that she is Prince Qin's subordinate."

"But what worries me is that Shi Lan's words are very strange, making Fatty Ding feel like she is not from Prince Qin." Pao Ding touched his head and said.However, he didn't pay much attention to Xiang Shaoyu.

"What did Shi Lan say?"

"Shi Lan told me to rest assured that what she experienced in Youjian Inn and the people she met would not tell Prince Qin about it."

"Pao Ding, you once said that Shi Lan's behavior is very strange, and I suspect that she has something to do with the mysterious Shu Mountain." Gao Jianli asked as if confirming.

"That's right, I once discovered that Shi Lan can use strange symbols, and she also has contacts with some people who wear strange clothes. Looking at the clothes, they seem to be people from the land of Bashu."

"I remember that a few years ago, Crown Prince Qin led his troops to attack Mount Shu. If Shi Lan really came from Mount Shu, then it is likely that he was coerced by Crown Prince Qin and had no choice but to obey him."

"That's right, it must be like this!" Hearing the news, Xiao Pangdun's face turned red and he clapped his hands.No one in the room was more excited than Xiang Shaoyu when he heard the news.

Gao Jianli didn't pay attention to Xiang Shaoyu, to be precise, he couldn't break Xiang Shaoyu's mind, and said to Pao Ding: "Anyway, this is good news. When you go to Haiyue Xiaozhu, you can talk to Shi Landuo Get in touch, and test her out. If possible, it might be possible to bring her to our side in the future."

"No, Shi Lan has been sent by Prince Qin to assist me. Three meals a day, from grocery shopping to cooking, will be supervised by her. If she really does not have the same heart as Prince Qin, then things will be much easier." Pao Ding waved his hand, straightened his stomach, and said with a smile.

"En. If our people can lurk to Crown Prince Qin, it might be a good information channel." Gao Jianli agreed.He never intended to use this channel to poison Prince Qin.Doing so is not only stupid, but also kills Pao Ding.

A meeting ended, and Pao Ding was about to leave, but was greeted by the little fat pier.

Xiang Shaoyu pulled Pao Ding under the pear tree in the courtyard outside the house, put his shoulders on Pao Ding's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Brother Pao Ding, I heard that your cooking skills are astonishing, and there are few people in the world who can match you. I have also longed for it for a long time. , can you find a chance for me to see it too?"

Pao Ding also had a smirk on his face at the moment, Xiang Shaoyu's two unusual behaviors in the room just now had already attracted his attention, and he said, "En! This flattery is very useful to me, Fatty Ding. Tell me, are you a kid? Do you like that Shi Lan?"

Little Fatty nodded, and said, "I knew Brother Pao Ding was smart, and he could see through my thoughts at a glance."

"Okay, okay!" Pao Ding waved his hands as if he couldn't stand your knowledgeable expression, "Tomorrow Shi Lan and I are going to Dongshi to buy vegetables in the morning, do you want to go with me?"

"That would be the best." Xiang Shaoyu said expectantly.
