Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Of course, Qin Ji would not feel that His Majesty's assassination this time would clear his suspicions.After all, Xia Yuxiao won't trust him easily. Perhaps in her eyes, this time the assassination was done by someone else, but the previous assassination was probably planned by Qin Ji himself.

Facing such a majesty, Qin Ji had nothing to say. Of course, he would not feel that Xia Yuxiao had done so meanly.

The emperor, that's it, there are too many people coveting this position.As the concubine princess back then, Xia Yuxiao often received even less support. If it weren't for some of the courtiers headed by An Guogong, she might not be able to compete for status with those princes who were born to be favored by the former emperor.

Therefore, she will definitely not trust others. Even Xia Yuxiao's own party members were all connected by relying on the close chain of interests between them, starting from Qin Ji's father to Qin Ji's assistant. In politics, Xia Yuxiao's path to becoming the throne has been gradually laid out.

Although he didn't know why his father would push her to the throne, and there were obviously more competitive candidates for the throne, Qin Ji still believed in one thing: Xia Yuxiao is indeed a rare and excellent emperor, Help if you can.

What?You ask why she is an excellent emperor?

It can be seen from the few important things she announced at the beginning of her accession to the throne. Although this girl's character has become a little too sensitive due to the long-term struggle, she really really wants to do a good job in Xia Guo.

Therefore, facing the ball kicked by His Majesty, Qin Ji had no choice but to pick it up, and was willing to pick it up, to help her with something.If you do it well, you will feel good about it, if you can't do it well...

She didn't dare to do anything to herself if she couldn't do it well.

Well, that's the reason. If we have soldiers in our hands, our backs will be tough.

"I will do my best to handle this matter properly."

Qin Ji said respectfully.

Coincidentally, he also thought that the assassins this time were more or less related to the group of dead men who assassinated him before.Besides, the other party is so familiar with the interior of the palace, it is obvious that they are not some kind of rogues. Judging from the tight encirclement and infiltration methods, ordinary people simply cannot afford such an assassin.

It is estimated that he must be a member of the royal family, or a central minister.Or... both.

Qin Ji is not worried about those central ministers. Although the central ministers have greater power, they are only relative to those local officials.But compared with himself and the emperor, he was still far behind.Now Xia Guo's military is not in their hands either.On the contrary, those princes are more likely.

"Lingyan, thank you this time."

He turned away and said sincerely.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had an intuition that the girl Lingyan would definitely come over.Although he didn't have any solid evidence to prove it, he just had the feeling.

"You're welcome, I should do it." In front of the emperor, Lingyan restrained her bad taste of teasing him a bit.

"Miss Lingyan is really loyal." The head of the Dragon Guard gave Qin Ji a strange look, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Qin, Miss Lingyan broke through with weapons all the way from the main gate. The imperial guards in charge of the guards couldn't stop them from coming in, if we hadn't stepped forward to understand the situation later, I would have thought she was going to publicly assassinate Sheng Jia."

Ah this...

Well, it is indeed her style anyway.

Qin Ji will not pursue why Lingyan knew that something happened to her from such a distance. In his opinion, it is enough that her personal bodyguard is loyal to him. As for what method she used to confirm herself Whether it is safe, where it is, whether it was tapped or cursed, he didn't want to ask, and he didn't plan to ask.

Everyone has their own little secrets, and Qin Ji is the same, so he will not ask Lingyan to confess everything to himself.This guy was born in the Demon Sect, so he knows a lot of crooked ways.No matter what crooked methods are, the exercises themselves are not the problem, as long as they are not used to do bad things.

"Mr. Qin has saved you this time, and I will reward you someday." Xia Yuxiao was completely relieved until this time.

In any case, it is a fact that Qin Ji saved herself. Although Xia Yuxiao dare not rule out the possibility that Qin Ji directed and acted on his own, whether it is for the dragon guards or other witnesses, Qin Ji Protecting herself from danger is real, and in that case, she will naturally reward her.

But... What else can I reward, this guy has almost given everything he deserves.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuxiao couldn't help but feel a headache.

"I don't dare to ask for any rewards. I will try my best to find out the matter. After the matter is found out, it will not be too late for your majesty to grant rewards."

What this means is that labor and capital are still carrying suspicions on their bodies, so let's stop engaging in those false things at this time, and you can reward me when I prove my innocence.

"Well, that's fine." Xia Yuxiao nodded, "Oh, by the way, I will send someone to the mansion together with the tea that Duke Qin asked me for before, together with the tea that was defeated. Remember, this is what I reward you—and only you.”

Oh, got it.

Only I can drink it alone, don't let me just give the royal tribute to outsiders.

I didn't expect that she would care a little about this kind of thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After all this is over, the next thing is not for Qin Ji to deal with. The Dragon Guards will take over the remnants of the Royal Garden.It wasn't the first time they encountered this kind of situation. All the dragon guards quickly entered the imperial garden, checked every corner carefully, and found that there were still remnants who were immediately arrested or even beheaded.

"Qin Ji."

Seeing everyone getting busy, Xia Yuxiao said in a low voice.

"The minister is here."

"You... hey, I don't know if you'll be perfunctory to me," Xia Yuxiao shook her head helplessly, and then suddenly continued in a very low tone, "Qin Ji, I'm really Shouldn't you be a monarch?"

Qin Ji froze for a moment.

He didn't know whether the emperor in front of him was sincere or was testing him. The place where his waist was strangled by the other party was still hurting. However, seeing the other party's disappointed look, he still hesitated, thinking whether he should be more rational or say Express your own true opinion.

"Your Majesty, I can only say that no matter what you do, Your Majesty, it is impossible to satisfy everyone."

He considered it for a moment, then continued:

"Since this is the case, instead of caring about those opponents, Your Majesty should take a look at how the people of the world view you. Your Majesty above the main hall cannot hear the voices of the elderly and children."

His Majesty's decree

Your Majesty said: Big raccoon, I didn't update it before, and I didn't like it, so I ransacked his house with Longwei and ordered him to update it for three days, as a warning to others.All the ministers must be supervised, and the update will start at [-]:[-] p.m. today~

Chapter 34 This guy can get along, if he has a trick, he really loves it

Qin Ji, who returned to his own An Guo Gongfu, began to interrogate the assassin captured by Lingyan without stopping.

Although he had a hunch that this assassin might not allow him to obtain much important information, but it was better than nothing.After all, it is really difficult to keep someone like Ling Yan who is not very good at keeping alive.

So, in the black prison, Qin Ji deliberately put the assassin and the body of the dead man killed by Lingyan in the same cell.

Yes, Qin Ji has kept the dead man's body.

The reason why the corpse was kept was because Qin Ji always felt that there should be other secrets hidden in this guy.So he asked Lingyan to create a magic circle for embalming corpses.Lingyan is good at this aspect, and she quickly created an embalming circle for Qin Ji.

Not to mention, the effect is amazing, the person is as if he just died, there is nothing abnormal at all.

And just after the assassin was tied up in the black prison, Qin Ji pretended to leave the black prison.

In fact, he didn't leave, but sat at the corner of the corridor, and Lingyan was interrogating the other party at this time.

Lingyan is not good at traditional torture methods, and she really hasn't learned much specifically. Although Qin Ji once asked her to learn some, she is still better at breaking people down than torture. Thinking about it this way, Qin Ji Later, Ji simply handed over the work of torture to others.

However, just because Lingyan is not good at interrogation does not mean that she is not good at interrogation.

Lingyan likes to secretly add a little inexplicable "psychic magic" to the other party during the interrogation process, so that the other party will completely lose the desire to resist, so as to obtain the information she needs to know.

In this way, after Lingyan applied a deterrent buff to herself, she asked coldly:

"Who sent you here?"

"..."

How should I put it, this guy's interrogation skills are really terrible, why is this the first sentence?

"No one wanted to send us here. We organized ourselves to kill the dog emperor."

This assassin was quite courageous, facing Lingyan's pressure, he remained unmoved in the slightest.

"Let me say something first, my patience is very limited." Lingyan sat in front of the other party, and then took a sip of water leisurely, "Oh, by the way, I don't know if you know this person. He is the young master who participated in the assassination of me before because it was too rampant, so I taught him a little bit..."

"Your young master?"

The assassin sneered, looking at the person in front of him who might be of the same identity as himself in terms of temperament.

"If I remember correctly, your master should be that kid Qin Ji, right?"

Lingyan didn't speak, nor did she correct the address of the other party, but just looked at the other party quietly, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"I know you, and I know your master. You take good care of him, right? By his side, you probably feel that you have been reused. You are very happy, and you feel that your talents have been discovered, don't you?"

When he said this, the assassin suddenly showed a mocking smile: "Little girl, how many years have you been his little follower?"

"It's all about it, at least eight years." Lingyan crossed her slender legs and said with a smile.

"Eight years, I see your age, but you are only seventeen or eighteen years old? Or 19 years old?"

"Since you guessed it, why do you still call me a little girl?" Facing the seemingly provocative behavior of the other party, Lingyan asked calmly.

"Because you don't understand anything." The sarcasm in the assassin's eyes restrained a little, and he said with some compassion, "little girl, do you know what kind of person your master is? He is a person who can Any guy who puts sacrifices in the decision-making. Do you think he treats you well? That's because he hasn't reached the point where he needs to sacrifice you."

"You are too young, little girl. I admit that you are powerful. Unfortunately, no matter how strong you are, what's the use of it? Is this what you want to spend eight years of youth on him? Follow him for eight years , what did you get?"

The smile on Lingyan's face gradually disappeared.

She took a deep breath, as if suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, and then waved her hand: "Enough, I'm here to interrogate you today, not to let you be my life mentor here. I'll ask again Come on, who sent you here?"

The assassin didn't speak, he just looked at the woman with a gloomy face in front of him.As expected of being the confinement of the Duke of An, even the expression of resentment accumulated now is lovable.

The pair of red pupils dimmed at this moment, making people feel more of an urge to explore their innermost feelings.

"I know, I will say it naturally, what's the use of saying what I don't know? It's not correct anyway, when the time comes, you will think that I am deceiving you, I will have to be beaten severely, and you will still run away in vain one trip."

When the assassin said this, he cast his gaze deeply to the corridor, as if he had noticed something, and moved his fingers lightly.

"hidden."

An invisible wave spread, and then, Qin Ji, who was waiting for the news not far away, frowned—there was no sound inside.

Okay, this guy actually knows how to do this?

"Shut up, that's right. It looks like you've been guided by those guys from the west," Lingyan said.

The so-called magic and holy arts used in the West are essentially similar to the spells and exercises used in the East. They all mobilize the spiritual power of this world to accomplish things that cannot be done by a human body alone.But after all, there is still a difference in the system, the way the two sides use spiritual power is not the same.

Simply put, Western magic is more dependent on magic itself, so they often need to chant.However, the methods and spells of the East are different. Compared with the West, the East pays more attention to its own changes—of course, with the fusion of ideas between the two sides, Xia Guo is also trying to improve his own shortcomings.

Silencing, this is available in both major systems, but the magic's silencing is more powerful in comparison.And more precise.

"Just some fur."

After the assassin finished speaking, he continued: "I can see your embarrassment. Your master certainly treats you well, but what? How long can this kind of treatment last? He is one of the biggest leaders of the Xia Kingdom. Will you really like a remnant of the Demon Sect?"

Lingyan lowered her head after listening.

"I didn't count on..."

"Look, this is what you got in exchange for eight years of youth, you..."

"But what about you? You said it so well. To put it bluntly, you are nothing more than tools of your master. Look, the master behind you just kept you here."

Lingyan raised her head, and then argued unwillingly.

"What if I say that our Highness won't do this?"
