It's late at night and people are not quiet.

The Xiaoyao Palace was brightly lit and crowded with people. Every palace and every passage is guarded by guards.

study.

On one side of the dragon and phoenix table carved from golden nanmu, a multicolored consecrated unicorn bottle worth ten thousand taels fell to the ground with a clang, and the fragments exploded.

Everyone on the field knelt on the ground, shivering and trembling with fear.

Trash, just a bunch of trash!

King Xiaoyao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a small gap in his throat, and a trace of blood overflows, dyeing his underwear red.

My lord, calm down!

The old Taoist First Sword raised his head, his expression extremely ugly.

As a guest of Prince Xiaoyao's residence, the most he could do when meeting the prince was to bow his head. But now, things were messed up, and they had to kneel on the ground in frustration.

Calm down your anger? How can you tell me not to be angry? You all are so pretentious, but when things come to an end, you are all reduced to paper. First Sword, didn't you say that under [Third Grade], you are not afraid of anyone? But why was the sword formation broken and two of the swords broken? Look at the brothers, the thin tiger and the fat dragon. One is dead and the other is crippled. And Dugu Sheng, who was killed by an assassin's sword. If A Gu'er hadn't had a substitute Even if you are a doll, you may die...

King Xiaoyao's words were like sharp knives, cruelly cutting open the hearts of all the masters in the palace.

Everyone looked ashamed.

Hmph! Just two assassins brought chaos to my palace. If I didn't have a way to save my life, I would have suffered a disaster tonight!

King Xiaoyao touched his neck. Although the damage had been transferred, he had to bear the pain himself. He wished he could catch those two assassins and cut them into pieces with thousands of knives!

I have neglected my duty. I hope the prince will give me a chance to atone for my sins.

Cold sweat formed on the forehead of the first sword.

Tonight was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Those two assassins are [Fourth Level Realm]. If they work together, they will be able to take them down. It's just that they are also infighting among themselves, and in order to grab credit, they even hold each other back.

In fact, the strength of the First Sword is still very strong. If Li Nuo hadn't been frightened out of his wits and left his companions to escape, I'm afraid Li Nuo would have had to reveal some of his trump cards to take it down.

King Xiaoyao said sinisterly: Check, check for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out who the assassin is! Your heads are already stored on your neck. If the murderer cannot be found, don't blame me. You're welcome! Go down, I don't care what method you use, I just want the results!

As you command!

First Sword led everyone to retreat. There was no need to rest that night. They immediately used all the power they could to find the identities of the two assassins!

After everyone left, the old housekeeper of the palace hunched over and said, Your Majesty, the Chang'an government office has also sent additional personnel to conduct a thorough door-to-door investigation.

King Xiaoyao shook his head: Don't count on them. The governor of Chang'an is an old fox. If such a big thing happened in the palace, I'm afraid he is just gloating over my misfortune and watching my jokes.

How dare he do this? There are assassins making trouble at the emperor's feet. This is also his dereliction of duty. How dare he fan the flames? Aren't you afraid that your majesty will punish him for dereliction of duty?

The old housekeeper's airway.

King Xiaoyao sneered: That old fox, I'm afraid I'm sure that this king will intercede for him.

The old housekeeper said blankly: The prince will intercede for him? Why is this?

There was a trace of contempt in King Xiaoyao's eyes, and he said: If the old fox proposes a thorough investigation of the palace in the name of hunting down assassins, will I agree or not?

Once the palace is searched, some secrets will definitely not be kept. Even if someone comes up with something out of thin air and frames it, I'm afraid it's hard to guard against it.

The old housekeeper was extremely angry: Why does the governor want to target the prince?

Have you forgotten what happened ten years ago?

King Xiaoyao was very calm at this time.

Ten years ago…

The daughter of Fu Yin was brutally murdered by a gangster. After investigation, the murderer pointed to a retainer of Prince Xiaoyao's house.

This disciple has a very high level of cultivation and is King Xiaoyao's right-hand man, so naturally he is unwilling to hand it over. In the end, through various means, the retainer was only convicted of being an accomplice and was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.

The exile gave King Xiaoyao the possibility to operate.

On the way to exile, more than a hundred people in this group, including soldiers, were attacked by demon cultivators from Daqing Mountain, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Of course, this retainer naturally changed his appearance through this suspended death. After the matter calmed down, three years later, under the operation of King Xiaoyao, he returned to Chang'an and continued to serve King Xiaoyao!

Although the governor of Chang'an felt that this matter was strange, he had no choice but to swallow his breath because there was no evidence.

Tonight, this retainer was not in the palace, otherwise King Xiaoyao believed that the two assassins would never be able to escape.

The old Taoist No. 1 swordsman is the No. 1 person under [Third Grade]?

That's just his own bragging.

Not even close!

It can be said that the other nine masters of Xiaoyao Palace combined are no match for that disciple!

Now, this disciple is already [half-step third grade]!

It’s just a matter of time!

King Xiaoyao has been laying out plans for more than ten years, but why he has been standing still is because he has to wait for this disciple to enter the third level. Only in this way can he delay the eunuch, the leader of the secret guard.

We have to catch these two assassins ourselves. Don't expect the Chang'an government office. There are not many monks who know the [Golden Body Dharma Image]. You immediately mobilize the palace guards to surround Xiangguo Temple. The louder the noise, the better. I want Xiangguo The details of all the monks in the temple will be investigated one by one!

Old slave, let's do it now!

The old housekeeper was ordered to leave in a hurry.

There was a hint of viciousness in King Xiaoyao's eyes, and he murmured to himself: [Golden Body Dharma Appearance], this should be deliberately diverting my attention, right? Using [Golden Body Dharma Appearance] to cover up the identity of the disciples of the Sword Sect, do you really think that this king is so... So deceitful? Come here!

My subordinate is here!

A figure appeared at the door of the study.

Take people to search the prisoner lake, dig three feet into the ground to find any clues! I don't believe it anymore, the assassin can be so clean, leaving no trace at all.

Here!

The figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

King Xiaoyao naturally has a city.

However, his cunningness happened to fall into the trap set by Li Nuobu.

The next day.

The house in the west of the city.

Ye Qingyu arranged Li Nuo's clothes and said with a gentle smile: I forgot to tell my husband. After returning home yesterday evening, didn't my husband go to the Ministry of Punishment to stay overnight? But not long after my husband left, the Cui family son appeared sneakily. At the gate. I thought he was here to find a husband, so I asked Qiluo to tell him, but for some reason, he ran away.

Cui Liyan?

Li Nuo was a little surprised.

It's not easy for this guy to find him. He just needs to go directly to the Ministry of Punishment. How come...

oh!

Li Nuo understood.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink.

It was a lie to come to see him, but it was a lie to come to take a look at Qiluo!

The lady and Qiluo came to Chang'an from Yuzhou with seven cars of household luggage, so the noise was naturally not small, and they didn't deliberately hide it, so it was normal for Cui Liyan to know about it.

Li Nuo smiled and said: This boy Cui Liyan must be thinking about our Qiluo!

Ye Qingyu rolled her eyes and said with an angry smile: Of course the Nu family has noticed it, but this girl Qiluo hasn't figured it out yet. She is so rude to others. If Mr. Cui hadn't escaped quickly, he would probably have lost his appearance.

The water in the aristocratic family is very deep. If Qiluo really enters the Cui family, she may be in a state of panic.

Li Nuo felt a little emotional.

This Cui Liyan, instead of taking the Sunshine Avenue, has to take the single-plank bridge. This is asking for trouble...
