Chapter 22 Execution of Assassin Feng Qianjun(1/2)

Xiang Shu coughed a few times in the garden of a family's mansion in Chang'an.

Chen Xing was still in shock and looked at Xiang Shu. Xiang Shu's breathing became deeper and he looked towards the sky outside the high wall. Chen Xing let go of the puppy in his hand. The dog's chest was still stuck with Princess Qinghe's dagger, and the body was already cold.

Chen Xing was sad for a while and had to stroke its eyes and place it behind the rockery. Xiang Shu leaned against the corner of the wall with his eyes slightly closed.

The morning light was dim, and the bells came from afar. It was already daylight in Chang'an City. The two of them accidentally bumped into each other, climbed over the high wall, and broke into the family. They heard that the servants in the mansion had stood up, and the women were talking and preparing to clean the courtyard.

"Come in," Chen Xing whispered, "and you will be seen."

Xiang Shu was exposed outside the rockery and didn't answer. Chen Xing moved him hard and touched his shoulder with one hand. He felt wet and greasy. When he looked at his hands, he was shocked.

"Why did you shed so much blood?!" Chen Xing said.

"Shut up..." Xiang Shu finally answered.

Chen Xing quickly turned over Xiang Shu's shoulders and saw that when Xiang Shu escaped from the palace, he actually protected each other with his back and was hit by several arrows. The imperial guards had a special blood groove on the arrows, so they had to quickly take out the arrow clusters.

At that time, Chen Xing heard the sound of the firewood in the backyard again. The servant came out holding the firewood, and took advantage of the absence of anyone to take Xiang Shu into the firewood in a hurry, closed the door, and had to hide for the time being, and cut out the arrows for him with a dagger.

The old wound was not healed, and new wounds were added. Chen Xing's hands were covered with blood. He looked out through the gap in the door, went out to wash his hands quickly, and then got some water back to give Xiang Shu some drinks.

"what to do?"

After the two of them recovered, Chen Xing said, "It's awful. Let's kill Princess Qinghe in front of Fu Jian."

Xiang Shu didn't say anything, Chen Xing sat cross-legged and said to Xiang Shu: "The last sword..."

In an instant, Xiang Shu strangled Chen Xing's neck.

Chen Xing: “…”

Xiang Shu pushed Chen Xing aside, suppressing his anger in his voice: "You were held hostage at that time. If I didn't take any serious measures, can you survive now?"

Xiang Shu was extremely angry. Chen Xing had never expected that Princess Qinghe was in the same group with the mysterious people. Judging from the black fire, maybe even she was attacked by resentment, but the person was dead and nothing was useless to say.

"So you be more aware!" Chen Xing said angrily, "Can you blame me for this?"

Xiang Shu almost roared angrily: "If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died!"

Chen Xing: "Then you kill me and avenge her! Come on!"

The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Xing naturally knew that Xiang Shu regretted taking too much and had misjudged the opponent's strength, but he just took his anger out for a moment. But from the last scene, Princess Qinghe was obviously irritated by resentment and secretly colluded with the mysterious man. Once Xiang Shu was arrested, he would kill him mercilessly for the convenience.

Chen Xing returned to his calmness and said, "Feng Qianyi, Princess Qinghe, who else is next?"

Xiang Shu finally calmed down and closed his eyes.

Chen Xing said again: "We can't wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River now. Fu Jian must search for us all over the city. I don't know who else is behind Princess Qinghe. The Yin-Yang Mirror is still in the palace, so I'm afraid they will kill Brother Feng..."

"She wants to avenge the Murong family," Xiang Shu finally said slowly, "She has never given up since the day the country of Da Yan was destroyed by Fu Jian. She just doesn't know how she got along with the Feng family."

Chen Xing suddenly remembered what Princess Qinghe said intermittently before her death.

Xiang Shu closed his eyes again and murmured: "It's a pity that he was born as a daughter. He is a horse-riding makeup, and he doesn't let his beards ride and shoot, and he can never go back to the grassland again..."

Chen Xing recalled Princess Qinghe and smiled. Based on these days, the friendship with Xiang Shu should be very deep.

"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing said.

Xiang Shu had no answer.

"I'm sorry." Chen Xing said.

"It's all your business." Xiang Shu said coldly, never opening his eyes.

It was quiet again, and Chen Xing whispered: "I'll go out and see the situation."

"Don't go anywhere," Xiang Shu said in a cold voice, "Stay here. The Lone King is so tired..."

Chen Xing was also very tired. Feng Qianjun was unclear about his life and death. He would probably face Fu Jian's anger directly. Torturing is indispensable. He had to find a way to save him as soon as possible. The more serious problem is still in the Feng family, and it is too late to warn the Feng family now.

How many people will die?! Chen Xing was simply restless, but Xiang Shu fell asleep like nothing happened. He wanted to go out to find out the situation by himself, but Xiang Shu was gone. He probably couldn't even walk out of the main street, so he had to give up.

After touching the bamboo slips in his arms, the bamboo slips also disappeared. Chen Xing was very sure that the bamboo slips would not have fallen off when he escaped. Thinking of this, the only possibility is that the thing in the mirror cannot be brought to the present world.

Chen Xing was exhausted and was holding a dead dog in his arms. He was exhausted and leaned against the pile of firewood. As he thought about it, he fell asleep. Before he knew it, his head slid down and fell into Xiang Shu's arms. Xiang Shu held a sword in one hand, and was sleeping with a stern look. He opened his eyes and when he saw that there was no enemy, he raised his right hand and placed it on Chen Xing's shoulder and back.

This day is destined to be the most turbulent day after Fu Jian killed his brother Fu Sheng. Changan City was banned and access was not allowed. Although the news that Princess Qinghe died under the sword of the Great Shanyu was severely blocked, it still spread like wildfire. In less than an hour, when the Changan Morning Market opened, all the streets and alleys learned about this news.

Since Fu Jian destroyed Yan State, it was the first day that such a major event that shocked the government and the people of Chang'an. For Qin, the Murong family was a force that should not be underestimated. The minister of the devastated country, Murong Chui, the Jingzhao Yin, who surrendered to Fu Jian, went to Beijing to report his duties, and Murong Ping, the Minister of the Fanyang Prefect, and Murong Wei, entered the court to see Fu Jian as soon as the sky was dawn. The children of the Xianbei Murong clan, and the Tuoba clan who had a marriage relationship, Gou Chang, the Qiang man who had close contact with the Murong family, all knelt outside the hall.

The Qin Dynasty was in an instant because Princess Qinghe, in a sense, symbolized the connection between Murong and the power Fu Jian. Since Empress Gou's death, Fu Jian has not established another position. The harem was dominated by Princess Qinghe, and Fu Jian refused to accept concubines because of Qinghe and Murong Chong's siblings. He was so unclear and died under the sword of the Great Shanyu Shulukong. Fu Jian would give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the court in any case.

The entire Murong clan was completely shocked when he heard the news. However, when he was questioning Fu Jian under the undercurrent, he seemed to have more vigilance.

Fu Jian had seen that look more than once, so familiar that he could not be more familiar with it.

"I am chasing the Great Shanyu." Fu Jian's eyes were full of red silk, exhausted, as if he had aged ten years old overnight, and said slowly, "The changes last night were many clues, but the Great Shanyu had already fled for fear of his crime, and only he could tell us the answer."

There were many children of Korean nobles, silently, but the Yuwen family, who had always had a grudge against the Murong family, was a bit gloating.

"Your Majesty," said the Secretary Murong Wei, "Where were you when the tragedy happened?"

Murong Chui's side face was burned by flames during the battle in Xiangyang City several months ago. At this time, he was still wearing an iron mask and was gloomy and silent.

"What does this mean?! Is it possible to suspect that I am a co-conspirator?" Fu Jian said furiously.

The people established at the steps clearly showed distrust. Shulukong's Great Khan arrived in Chang'an, and the city was full of storms on the first day. Fu Jian's fear of Shulukong had already spread throughout the court. The Chile Ancient Alliance's restraint on Fu Jian and the closeness of the two sides had made the various ethnic groups in Chang'an feel uneasy, fearing that the next step would be to more northern nomadic tribes come to the gate and divide the hard-earned benefits they had earned at the cost of the country's demise.

Murong Chui finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that in addition to Shu Lukong, there were two Han people. One of them escaped from Weiyang Palace with the leader, and the other one was arrested in the palace. He was the youngest son of the Feng family of Xifeng Money Village. Is it true?!"

"Why did the Great Shanyu collude with a group of Han people?" Murong Wei said in disbelief.

Fu Jian replied to the question that he was ill-fated: "Tuoba Yan has led the imperial guards and surrounded Songshan. The Feng clan is indeed fleeing for fear of crime. The whole family has left the city overnight."

"Where is the person?" Finally someone couldn't help but say, "Take him over!"

"Bold!" Wang Ziye spoke and scolded Fu Jian.

Fu Jian replied: "I cannot leave it to you. I am being interrogated. I will definitely give you an explanation within three days. Compared to you, I feel sad. I can only go back and think clearly, calm down, and retreat to the court."

Fu Jian lost his lover and no longer cared about the rudeness of the Murong family. But at noon that day, the military power in Chang'an City had begun to be mobilized, with the reason being to prevent the Great Shanyu Shulukong from planning a rebellion. However, anyone with discerning eyes knew that Shulukong was alone, and the army of the Chile Gu League was all outside the frontier. Even if he raised his arms and shouted, the world would respond to the tyrants to defend Guanzhong and do good deeds. The Qing traitors supported the Jin Dynasty and marched urgently to reach Chang'an. Who was Fu Jian's defense?

Only Murong.

Chen Xing pushed open the door of the woodshed a crack and looked out.

This family was unusually quiet, which made him vaguely worried. Could it be that the palace had hidden the news?

Xiang Shu lost little blood and soon recovered his complexion and stood up and carried a sword.

"What should I do next?" Chen Xing walked through the corridor. In a huge mansion, the back house was empty. He arrived at the kitchen where the prepared breakfast was placed.

"We must see Jian's head," Xiang Shu said, "to confirm his safety and then try to rescue Feng Qianjun. Since Princess Qinghe has the desire to take revenge, it must be more than one day. I don't know how many of this group of people are. If you are anxious, Jian's head will not be able to take revenge, and you must prepare as soon as possible."

Chen Xing knew that once Xiang Shu was hiding in the dark, with his martial arts, no one could touch him. Even if he couldn't do it, he could escape unstoppable and take him with him, but he couldn't say it was right.

Chen Xing said: "I..."

Xiang Shu: "?"

Chen Xing Chaoxiang said: "I will not drag you down."

Chen Xing was nervous. If Xiang Shu had not been to protect himself last night, he would not have been shot.

Xiang Shu: "Are you waiting here?"

Chen Xing said: "I'll think of another way."

Xiang Shu pondered silently and seriously considered Chen Xing's proposal, but Chen Xing suddenly changed his mind and said, "But what if Fu Jian doesn't believe it? Do you have to find the Yin-Yang Ji and let him see it with his own eyes..."

"He wants to believe it, he believes whatever I say," Xiang Shu said, "If he doesn't believe it, he will not believe anything he shows him."

When Chen Xing thought about that, Xiang Shu pushed open the woodshed and walked out. The sun was shining, which made Chen Xing's eyes a little unable to open. Xiang Shu looked around and said, "You must find another safe place to hide."

Chen Xing suddenly stopped and saw a carriage parked in the backyard. He immediately looked at Xiang Shu. Both of them recognized it. It was Tuoba Yan's car. Last night, he accidentally fled into Tuoba Yan's house! No wonder there was no movement all morning. No matter how the imperial guards searched, they would not search the mansion of their own general.

Just as a sound came from outside, it seemed that Tuoba Yan was back.

"I'll go see him." Chen Xing said.

"Don't seek death." Xiang Shu said, "Leave now!"

Chen Xing waved his hand and walked quickly through the corridor.

Tuoba Yan suffered such a major blow last night. After one night, he was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Fu Jian was still unreasonable in his rage and did not drag him to prison and punish him. He only informed the entire army and immediately arrested Xiang Shu and Chen Xing at all costs.

Otherwise, Princess Qinghe would die, and the first person to be arrested for beheading was Tuoba Yan. Not to mention the serious responsibility, Qinghe treated him like a younger brother. If you talk about grief, in the whole city of Chang'an, Tuoba Yan would be the second.

Tuoba Yan breathed deeply, covered his forehead with one hand, buried his eyebrows and eyes in his palm, and sat alone in the hall, not helping to breathe. At the moment, the martial law in the city was being ruthless, and the imperial guards were searching everywhere. People in the Murong family scolded the imperial guards again, vowing to punish Tuoba Yan for neglecting his duties. Seeing Tuoba Yan's anger, his subordinates were afraid that this young man, who was under twenty, would do something irreversible in impulse, so they escorted him back for a while. When there was information, they would immediately report to him.

"Tuoba Yan, I have something to say to you." Chen Xing's voice suddenly rang.

Tuoba Yan suddenly looked up and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief.

Chen Xing appeared in the hall at some point. Tuoba Yan immediately reacted and stood up, but Chen Xing said, "Tuoba Yan!"

Tuoba Yan gasped and stared at Chen Xing, saying, "You...you..."

Chen Xing raised his hand and said, "If you want to listen, you don't want to listen. Now I will tie me up and see Fu Jian." As he said that he spread his sleeves, he signaled that he was not carrying a weapon, looked around and was alone.

Tuoba Yan didn't call anyone, Chen Xing knew that there was still hope.

Tuoba Yan's eyes were red and he said sadly: "What's going on? Why did the Great Shanyu kill her? This is unreasonable! You must give me an explanation!"
