However, Shen Lang did not have the same feeling of being possessed as before, he just felt a more severe headache.

The bet was right!

I myself was possessed by the Thunder and Fire Sword and offset the mental shock of King Zhenbei!

"Hiss..." Shen Lang's forehead was covered with sweat. "I don't know why four assassins suddenly appeared to kill you... Unfortunately, I am too weak to help..."

Shen Lang said that now we must adhere to a principle.

The person the other party wanted to kill was Zhao Huaibei, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Why would the second brother go to Zuiyue Tower?" Zhao Qingyang's eyes flashed with a gleam.

Theoretically, if something happened in a shabby place like Zuiyue Tower, it would be impossible for the King of Zhenbei to personally judge the case.

After all, he is the King of Zhenbei, and he is busy with all kinds of things. How can he have time to think about these messes?

However, this incident happened to Zhao Huaibei, which is a bit intriguing.

Was it the enemy forces or...his other sons who assassinated his son?

There might be a shocking conspiracy behind the assassination, so Zhao Qingyang had to be cautious.

You know, in addition to the traces of the Xiaoyao Realm battle at the scene, there are also traces of the Shenyou Realm battle left on the roof!

Daydreaming, this could really threaten Zhao Huaibei's life.

Although Zhao Huaibei is an excellent fighter, in Zhao Qingyang's eyes, he cannot be a match for Shenyou.

No matter how free and easy it is, it is impossible for Shenyou to be a match for you.

Therefore, the opponent set up a killing trap!

"I invited..."

"Why did you invite?"

"I submitted a visiting card before, wanting to follow the Second Young Master. Today, Liu Zhuang is getting married, and he wants to invite us blacksmiths to Zuiyue Tower to play. He offers a lot of money. I want to show my loyalty to the Second Young Master, so I invited him..."

"So, the second brother left the palace, went to Zuiyue Tower, and was assassinated because of you?" A cold light flashed in Zhao Qingyang's eyes.

In this era, only sons can become heirs.

Although Zhao Huaibei is not the eldest son, his status is much higher than Wei Qianluo.

Not to mention that Wei Qianluo was born to a maid, an illegitimate daughter who had not yet been recognized. Even if she was a legitimate daughter, her role in such a family was only for marriage, or she had excellent qualifications and became a guardian.

If Zhao Huaibei was threatened, Wei Qianluo would lose face.

"Your Highness, there might be a conspiracy here!" Shen Lang quickly protested.

"Oh? What conspiracy?" Zhao Qingyang raised his eyebrows.

"Before I went to the wedding, I had no idea that Liu Zhuang would arrange Zuiyuelou! We already have a feud, and it's totally unreasonable for him to spend so much money to invite me!" Shen Lang began to argue: "At first I thought he wanted to throw money at me, but now I think it may not be that simple."

"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have let my master accompany me and protect you secretly..."

"Then who do you think wants to harm the second brother?" Zhao Qingyang whispered.

Secretly protecting...Mo Yi?

Thanks to her this time.

A person in the Xiaoyao realm can hold back a person in the Shenyou realm for so long, which shows that Mo Yi is also extraordinary.

If she hadn't held back the Divine Wandering Realm, Huaibei would have already...

"I don't know! But there must be something wrong here! I asked Master to invite the Second Young Master. Theoretically, no one should know about it, but those assassins actually knew it, and they also knew which box the Young Master was in. This is a chain of events..."

After hearing Shen Lang's words, Zhao Qingyang was silent for a moment.

Zuiyue Tower, Assassin...

If someone wants to harm the second brother, I'm afraid there is a traitor in the palace.

The other guests at Zuiyue Tower seemed unaware of the situation.

The old procuress's soul was injured and she is currently in a coma. It will probably take some time for her to wake up.

"Your Majesty!"

Just at this moment, a dragon rider came to the interrogation room.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingyang's eyes were on the dragon rider.

Dragon Rider glanced at Shen Lang, then came to Zhao Qingyang and started transmitting his voice: "There was a grassland man who committed suicide... nothing was found on him."

Zhao Qingyang's pupils shrank slightly.

Committed suicide?

This incident is indeed not that simple!

If he was fine, why would he commit suicide for no reason? The people who wanted to kill my son were the grassland people. What did they want to do?

"Hello, Shen Lang, you stay here first." Zhao Qingyang said in a deep voice: "Bring Mo Yi here."

Shen Lang knows a lot, at least more than other people.

Tonight, he and Mo Yi were the only ones who had contact with the second brother throughout the whole process, so he had to find some clues from them.

"Yes, Your Highness..." Shen Lang's heart was beating fast.

I don't know if it's possible to prove it...

In short, it is impossible for Butler Wang to want to kill Zhao Huaibei, and he may not be able to convince Zhao Qingyang just by relying on words.

By then, when Zhao Qingyang and Butler Wang become a team, knowing that Butler Wang wants to get rid of me because of Wei Qianluo, he may not punish me severely.

If I want to prevent Butler Wang from causing any trouble in the short term, I must let Zhao Qingyang follow this line of investigation to buy me time to escape from the palace.

After all, even if Butler Wang brought up Wei Qianluo, he was not doing the right thing.

Soon, Mo Yi was brought in.

Seeing Mo Yi's appearance, Shen Lang was stunned.

Mo Yi was seen with her clothes in disarray and bloody wounds all over her body. Her face was as pale as paper and she looked like she was about to die.

Shen Lang opened his mouth.

No, Master, aren't you awesome? Didn't you say that as long as you have enough money, you can kill Shenyou? How did it become like this?

Pfft!

When he saw Zhao Qingyang, Mo Yi knelt down immediately.

"Wuwuwu... Prince, I almost couldn't see you anymore!" Mo Yi's voice was crisp, and he didn't sound like he was injured at all.

However, looking at her painful expression, it seemed like she was forcing herself to say this.

As for why he was holding on? It was definitely because he didn't want to be disrespectful in front of the prince!

"What's going on?" Zhao Qingyang frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, woo woo woo, do you know? I admire you so much!"

"My mother told me since I was a child that children from poor families grow up early...If you want to stand out, you must follow the King of Zhenbei. This sentence left a deep impression on my young mind."

"I can see that my mother's biggest regret in life is that she didn't serve the prince."

"My parents passed away when I was very young. I wandered around and learned skills from masters everywhere. After I achieved what I have today, I thought that I must join the Zhenbei Palace, serve the prince, make up for my mother's regret, and fulfill my dream."

"Luckily, I really joined the Zhenbei Palace. That day, I looked at the prince from afar and felt that he was like my father. At that time, I secretly vowed to assist the prince wholeheartedly."

"Just yesterday, this traitor of mine suddenly said that he wanted to show his loyalty to the prince and asked me to secretly protect him. I saw that it was my great honor to be able to serve the prince and protect his son!"

"Normally, if I were to be a bodyguard, the starting price would be 500 spirit stones!"

"For this matter, I didn't ask him for a penny..."

Shen Lang was stunned.

Do you want face?

You have an IOU for 500 spirit stones in your pocket, don't you feel guilty saying this?

Damn, I really didn’t ask for a penny, because it was an IOU!

"I'll make up for the five hundred spirit stones." Zhao Qingyang let out a long sigh, "Go on."

"While I was protecting him, a strong man from the Wandering Realm suddenly came to Zuiyue Tower and wanted to assassinate you..."

"Did you see the man's soul and appearance clearly?" A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Qingyang's eyes.

"I, I dare not say..."

"Speak!" Zhao Qingyang decisively used the soul-stealing technique!

"Butler Wang!" Mo Yi blurted out.

Even with Zhao Qingyang's scheming, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

Butler Wang?

"Shenyou beating Xiaoyao is like a father beating his son!" Mo Yi slapped the ground and cried, "I was holding my breath. My heart told me that I must protect the young master, and I must protect him at all costs... That's how I held him back!"

"If it weren't for the prince's belief in me, I would have been killed by him..."

"The palace will pay for the medicine." Zhao Qingyang asked, "Where are the others?"

"This... I didn't know what happened at the time. I was dragging Steward Wang upstairs, and there seemed to be a lot of fighting going on downstairs. I knew that several people were besieging the young master, but I really couldn't spare a hand..."

Zhao Qingyang nodded.

Being able to hold back a Shenyou is already an extraordinary performance in the Free and Easy Realm.

Being alive is a rare thing, but we can't ask her to do more.

"Just when Butler Wang was about to kill me, a wave of sword energy shot up from the bottom to the sky, blowing the roof off. That's how I saved my life..." Mo Yi said with lingering fear, "After this happened, Butler Wang ran away..."

"Did he run away?" Zhao Qingyang thought for a moment, "Someone, check where Steward Wang is!"

"This... I should be able to provide some clues." Mo Yi looked loyal and righteous: "Even though I am covered in wounds, even if I only have half a breath left, I know that I must repay the prince for his kindness!"

"So, I dragged my broken body and followed the spirit of Steward Wang..."

Chapter 62 The truth? (Two in one)

After listening to Mo Yi, Zhao Qingyang ordered someone to go to the place designated by Mo Yi to find Butler Wang.

"Okay, you and Shen Lang stay here for a while. Maybe I will have to confront you two." Zhao Qingyang pointed at Shen Lang who was lying on the stretcher.

Under the mental shock of Zhao Qingyang, Shen Lang's obsession with the Thunder and Fire Sword subsided, and the weapon, which was much larger than Zhao Qingyang, lay down, and the wool blanket also became flat.

"Yes..." Mo Yi then turned around.

When she saw Shen Lang's appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's so funny..." Shen Lang was a little confused.

Apparently, he didn't know he was bald yet.

"Nothing." Mo Yi walked to Shen Lang and sat down.

Shen Lang really wants to give Mo Yi a thumbs up now.

Apart from anything else, his ability to lie with open eyes is beyond my reach. A master is a master.

It didn't take long before the unconscious Butler Wang was brought in.

The moment he saw Butler Wang, Zhao Qingyang couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"His soul is extremely weak. I'm afraid he has been through a great battle..." Zhao Qingyang said in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

"I don't know." Mo Yi looked confused: "It can't be me, right?"

boom!

Zhao Qingyang patted the table lightly, and a bone-chilling chill spread around Butler Wang's body.
