I'm the villain in the book

In this way, Lu Yuansong, one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, died.

He died in his own palace, on Longshou Mountain where tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers were stationed.

For the Dahui court, such an assassination is undoubtedly a shame.

But there was nothing they could do about it.

They didn't know how many assassins there were, let alone find out the identity of the latter.

Because all the maids, eunuchs, retainers and soldiers in the Changding Palace were all dead.

There are no witnesses, which means that no one has seen what the assassin looks like.

They could only tell from the wounds on hundreds of corpses that one of the assassins used a sword.

With a sword, master a phantom array, the strength is extremely strong
After combining these clues, many people already faintly feel that Wei Changtian or Qin Zhengqiu did this.

But that's just guesswork.

More importantly, even if Wei Changtian did this, they seemed powerless.

revenge?

Not to mention whether Da Hui has this ability, the attitude of the Da Prince and others alone is a bit intriguing.

After all, the death of Lu Yuansong is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone who is vying for the throne.

Maybe these people are clapping their hands in celebration at this very moment.

Of course, no matter what, what should be done to save face is still to be done.

At the beginning of Haishi, half an hour after Lu Yuansong's death, Longshou Mountain was closed in chaos, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

At the same time, spies from various intelligence agencies in Dahui also began to conduct a "carpet" search in Yongding City, looking for all suspicious people who might be assassins.

In fact, Dahui did not have much hope for the assassin to be found.

After all, since this person can sneak into the Changding Palace without anyone noticing, how can he be found easily?
But whether there is hope or not, these reactions are necessary when a prince of a country is assassinated.

As a result, the turbulent undercurrent in Yongding City became more and more violent, and the last sliver of calm that was barely maintained was finally completely broken tonight.

At three o'clock in Haishi, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi returned to the Zhuwu Inn by car.

They all had smiles on their faces. Although the clothes on their bodies were exactly the same as when they left, they had already changed into a new set.

Even Zhang San, who was following behind the two, was carrying a few boxes of pastries bought from the West Market, as if the three of them really just went to the night market.
"Miss Qin, I bought Ruyi Cake at Wufangzhai."

Entering the front hall, Wei Changtian smiled and said to Qin He who was settling accounts, "I brought you a box specially."

While speaking, Zhang San already put a box of pastries in Qin He's hand, and the latter got up quickly.

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite!"

"Miss Qin, it's just a box of pastries, so don't shirk it."

"This concubine will thank you son and wife."

After hesitating for a while, Qin He didn't push the box of pastries back and forth, and after thanking him, he asked softly:
"My lord, madam, is the West Market still lively?"

"lively."

Wei Changtian smiled meaningfully: "It can be said that it was extremely lively."

"Is it?"

Qin He covered her mouth and responded: "Next time, if you have time, you can go to the Ronghuafang in the north of the city. It will be even more lively."

"Okay, I'll go in a few days."

Wei Changtian nodded with a smile: "Miss Qin, shall we go back to the house first?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qin He immediately gave a slight salute: "Master, go slowly, Madam, go slowly."

"Um"

"."

After chatting with Qin He, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi quickly returned to the courtyard.

Li Zimu opened the courtyard door for them, and at a glance, he could tell that tonight's affairs should be relatively satisfactory.

But she still pleaded softly:

"My lord, is Lu Yuansong dead?"

"died."

Wei Changtian walked across the small courtyard to the house, and replied casually: "Not only him, but the entire Changding Palace is dead."

"Ah."

Li Zimu nodded, and asked again: "Has the master in the palace ever made a move?"

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "Liu Shi set up the phantom formation as you said, after I killed the first person to enter the formation, no one outside the formation really dared to enter."

"Yes, that's good."

While talking, several people had already entered the house, and there were night insects chirping outside the house.

Obviously, what happened tonight was planned by Li Zimu, and the arrangement of the phantom array was also arranged by her.

She told Wei Changtian that he must deal with the first batch of masters entering the phantom formation as quickly as possible, and throw the corpses out of the formation.

Wei Changtian did exactly as he did, and the facts proved that he did achieve good results.

As expected, the masters outside the formation were afraid to enter the formation because of the head, which made Wei Changtian finally kill Lu Yuansong with ease.

If not, even if he could succeed, it would probably take a lot of effort.

"Is there any movement from Gongsunyan?"

Taking off the robe and handing it to Li Zimu, Wei Changtian asked Zhang San, "Stay at home?"

"Yes, I have never left the house."

Zhang San immediately replied: "It should be still under consideration."

"Think about it, then wait for him another day."

Wei Changtian yawned, and lazily muttered:

"If he still doesn't dare after everything is like this, then it's because I misjudged the person."

"."

To the west of Yongding City, Prince An's Mansion.

The dark moon was sinking, and the chaos and flames had spread from Longshou Mountain to the entire Yongding City, but they had not yet reached here.

Therefore, the palace in the night is still as calm as ever.

To outsiders, this place is no different from the past.

However, in the eyes of the maids and servants in the mansion, Gongsun Yan today is a bit weird.

Needless to say, Gongsun Yan's wealth was able to buy the status of a prince with money, even if it was not much worse than the previous Daning Xu family.

And to be able to earn so much money, naturally requires the support of an extremely large industry.

Therefore, on weekdays, Gongsun Yan would go out almost every morning and would not come back until late at night.

But today he has been shutting himself in the study since noon, and he hasn't stepped out of the room until now, and he hasn't even eaten dinner.

Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of many people, but everyone didn't know what happened.

Gongsunyan's wives were even more anxious, they had been waiting outside the study for a long time with hot and cold meals, and cold and hot meals.

Then at a certain moment, a man in black suddenly ran all the way from the gate of the mansion to this place, and knocked on the door hastily.

"Who?"

Soon, Gongsun Yan's cold voice came out from the study, mixed with a trace of impatience.

"Master, it's me!"

Outside the house, the man in black didn't care whether Gongsun Yan was in a good mood or not, but immediately replied, "There is something important happening in the palace!"

".Come in."

"Yes!"

Responding loudly, the man in black immediately opened the door and walked into the room, then turned around and closed the door tightly under the blank eyes of all the women.

"master!"

Walking quickly to Gongsun Yan who was sitting behind the desk, the man in black didn't say a word of nonsense, but said in a low voice:
"Half an hour ago, the second prince died!"
