Chapter 845: A Ready-Made Scapegoat, Why Not Use It?

Regarding Lin Gong's death, Qin Hao had no emotions in his heart. As Lin Wan'er's brother, he was indeed a good brother, but he was a cold-blooded devil to ordinary people. In the original drama, his face was accidentally seen on the way to escape. , killing the opponent without saying a word. Perhaps in his opinion, the life of a civilian is not much different from that of an animal.

Seeing the corpses of Lin Gong and the female swordsman, Si Lili was frightened and inexplicably moved. However, after calming down, he still said to Qin Hao with a trembling voice.

"If Prime Minister Lin knew about it, Lin Gong would die here."

Qin Hao pointed to the corpses of the two female swordsmen and said lightly: "Don't worry, no one will know that Lin Gong died on your flower boat. No, the scapegoat is ready."

"You mean to blame Si Gu Jian?"

Qin Hao smiled. When it comes to the master who takes the blame for Qing Yunian, it must be Sigu Jian. In the original play, Lin Gong's death was blamed on Sigu Jian by Chen Pingping. Later, Fan Xian entered the palace to steal the key, and Wu Zhu led the way. Zhong Sixiang still passed the blame to Sigu Jian.

Such a useful scapegoat, why can't others use him?

Qin Hao picked up the bodies of Lin Gong and the two female swordsmen and threw them directly off the flower boat, and then threw the three people's swords into the Liujing River one after another.

"I just used the sword technique of Sigu Sword to kill Lin Gong, and I used the sword technique of Nanqing to kill those two. When their bodies are washed down the Liujing River, they will probably be discovered. Then someone will naturally do it. Put Lin Gong’s death on Si Gu Jian’s head.”

Si Lili said worriedly: "Lin Ruofu is an old fox, he won't believe it easily."

"Of course someone will force him to believe it when the time comes." A smile appeared on Qin Hao's lips.

"Your men should have no problem cleaning up the traces, right?"

Si Lili was slightly startled: "I know what to do."

For the Northern Qi spies, cleaning up the scene was a piece of cake. Soon there was no smell of blood on the flower boat anymore, and all the windows damaged in the fight were replaced. As for the servants killed by the two female swordsmen, It was also replaced by a new one, and everything returned to its original state.

Just when Si Lili was sending Qin Hao to the plywood, he happened to bump into Ye Linger.

"Didn't you say you have nothing to do with her?" Ye Ling'er's face was full of resentment.

Qin Hao also felt like he was being caught for a moment, even though he had done nothing with Si Lili just now.

Seeing Ye Ling'er's jealous look, Si Lili immediately understood what was going on. He covered his mouth and smiled softly: "Many dignitaries have come to this flower boat of the Nu family. A daughter's family like Miss Ye is the first one." See you."

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it, take your dirty hands away!" Ye Ling'er said angrily.

Si Lili also seemed to have a competitive spirit. Not only did he not let go of Qin Hao's sleeves, but he pressed closer to him.

"Miss Ye, don't be so angry. It's not good for you to be so impatient. This man likes women who are as gentle as water. You will scare people away."

Ye Ling'er gritted her teeth and cursed: "Hmph, I think you are just a fool."

"Let me ask you, what did you do when Fan Xian was on your flower boat that night?"

Facing Ye Ling'er's arrogant questioning, Si Lili raised his eyebrows and smiled sweetly.

"Commander Qin, what do you think this man and woman can do on the flower boat at night? Of course they want to spend the night together."

Ye Ling'er could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and shouted: "Bitch!"

After saying that, she flew in front of Si Lili and struck out with a palm. With the palm strength of her seventh-level warrior, if the palm was hit with hatred, Si Lili would lose half of his life even if he did not die.

Qin Hao frowned. Just when Ye Ling'er's palm was about to hit Si Lili's chest, he pulled her back with his left hand. He palmed Ye Ling'er with his right hand and clasped her wrist.

"Miss Ye, what I did with Mr. Fan is none of your business. Why should I get angry because of shame? Is it possible that you like Mr. Fan?"

Ye Ling'er was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Let go, I will tear this bitch's mouth apart."

Qin Hao did not let go of Ye Ling'er, but turned to glare at Si Lili: "Is it fun?"

Then he said to Ye Linger again.

"Stop making trouble, do you still want to know the truth?"

Ye Linger thought of her best friend Lin Wan'er and could only suppress the anger in her heart.

Si Lili flirted with Qin Hao and said, "Why are you so fierce?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease her."

"Miss Ye, to tell you the truth, Fan Xian didn't stay at my place that night at all. After he knocked me unconscious, he disappeared without a trace. Judging from the situation in the Jingzhao Mansion court that day, he probably went to beat me secretly. Guo Baokun, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Ye Ling'er snorted, but finally calmed down, and Qin Hao released her wrist after seeing this.

"Hmph, don't let me see you alone in the future."

With a harsh word, Ye Linger left angrily and rushed to the Lin family courtyard.

After Ye Ling'er left, Qin Hao also got off the flower boat. He couldn't help but think secretly along the way. Judging from the situation that Lin Gong came to see Si Lili, the eldest princess should have reached an agreement to cooperate with Beiqi's heavy weight. The next step is to He took action against Fan Xian.

But now that Qin Hao appeared and killed Lin Gong in advance, naturally no one came to carry out the Niulan Street assassination. He was not sure who the eldest princess would arrange to do next, but one thing was certain, the eldest princess would never Letting Fan Xian go easily, this crazy woman will never look back once she makes up her mind.

After returning to the Military and Horse Division, Qin Hao called his deputy commander.

"These days, you've asked the brothers to be more alert. I always feel that something big is going to happen."

The defense of the capital is the responsibility of the Bingmasi. If Fan Xian is assassinated in the street, he is also responsible for negligence. Besides, Qin Hao doesn't want to see a chivalrous man like Teng Zijing die in such an untimely way.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Although it sounds unreliable based on feelings alone, Qin Hao's prestige in the Bingmasi is now at its peak. When he gives an order, the Bingmasi is like chicken blood.

There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: The Ming army is not fully paid, and it is invincible when it is fully paid. This is the best portrayal of the Bingmasi.

However, in this way, the messy gangs and hooligans in the capital suffered. They were chased all over the city, and many of them hid in the suburbs to avoid the edge.

At the same time, Fan Xian also lived the most leisurely life since entering the capital. During the day, he copied chapters of the Dream of the Red Chamber at home, and at night he went to the Royal Courtyard to meet Lin Wan'er privately.

On this day, Qin Hao had just finished court and was about to leave the imperial city when he was stopped by a voice.

"I heard that Commander Qin is an extraordinary martial artist. I wonder if you can let Yan see it."

The surname is Yan, and he dares to challenge a ninth-rank master. He is in the palace. With these conditions, Qin Hao knows who the person is even if he doesn't turn around.

Yan Xiaoyi, the ninth-rank archer god of Qing Kingdom, is also the only archer above the ninth rank. It is said that with his archery skills, even if he shoots a grandmaster, he will be injured.

"Commander Yan is in such a good mood today?" Qin Hao was secretly alert. It was not because of Yan Xiaoyi's strength. For others, the ninth rank may be very strong, but for him, as long as it is not a grandmaster, he is not afraid.

The key is that this Yan Xiaoyi is the eldest princess's man.

Qin Hao doesn't believe that the crazy woman would ask Yan Xiaoyi to come to him for a duel for no reason. It is very likely that she wants to delay him. It seems that the actions of the military department these days have created uncertainties in the eldest princess's plan. It is very likely that the military department also has people planted by the eldest princess, and their official positions are not low.

"Commander Yan is so interested, Qin wants to see the power of the Nanqing Archery God, but I'm busy with official duties recently, why not do it another day?"

"Wait, Commander Qin is afraid?"

Yan Xiaoyi hurriedly blocked Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was now more certain that the princess's plan to assassinate Fan Xian was already being implemented.

"I've heard that Commander Yan is an extraordinary archer, Qin really wants to see it."

A gleam flashed in Yan Xiaoyi's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yan has also heard that Commander Qin is a superb martial artist, but I don't know how many arrows he can withstand from Yan."

As the only ninth-grade archer, Yan Xiaoyi does have the capital to be arrogant. Since he became famous, he has been invincible with his superb archery skills, and even killing people above his level is not a problem. There are also five or six ninth-grade masters who died under his arrows.

Qin Hao held up three fingers, and Yan Xiaoyi's smile was about to bloom, but Qin Hao suddenly said: "If you can shoot three arrows, you win."

Yan Xiaoyi's smile froze on his face, and then he snorted coldly: "I hope Commander Qin's skills can be as good as his mouth. Don't be unable to catch any arrows, that would be too boring."

Soon, the news of Qin Hao and Yan Xiaoyi's duel spread in the imperial city.

In the hall, Emperor Qing, who was forging arrows, heard the report of Eunuch Hou and just said lightly: "After all, they are young and energetic. Let them go, as long as they don't hurt their lives."

The close-fitting maid whispered in the ear of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess just moved her eyebrows slightly.

"Then let them do it."

"Yes."

On the top of the imperial city, Qin Hao and Yan Xiaoyi stood on two adjacent palaces, fifty steps apart, which is also the best attack distance for archers.

Below the two palaces, there were already a crowd of civil and military officials, guards, palace maids, and eunuchs who were watching the excitement.

After all, it was a battle between nine-grade masters. One side was the only nine-grade archer in the world, and the other side was the youngest nine-grade master in Qing. Such a duel could only be seen once in a lifetime. It was a rare opportunity, and no one wanted to miss it.

"Lord Liu, who do you think will win between Commander Yan and Commander Qin?"

"That's even necessary. It's Commander Yan. It's not easy to get close to a nine-grade archer at a distance of fifty steps without any obstacles."

"That's not necessarily true. Commander Qin was able to defeat Si Gu Jian's first disciple and Ku He's eldest disciple when he was at the eighth grade."

"But Commander Yan also killed the ninth-grade master of Northern Qi, Tanaka Shu, when he was at the eighth grade."

Most people still think that Yan Xiaoyi will win. After all, Qin Hao's defeat of Yun Zhilan and Lang Tao was just a rumor, and very few people have seen it, but Yan Xiaoyi's achievements are real. Coupled with the advantage of terrain, only a very small number of people think that Qin Hao can defeat Yan Xiaoyi.

While everyone was talking, Yan Xiaoyi took off the longbow behind him and held it tightly in his hand. He was confident enough that as long as the bow was still in his hand and there were arrows in his quiver, he could kill anyone except the Grandmaster.

"Commander Qin, I will not be polite."

Qin Hao still stood still, quietly waiting for Yan Xiaoyi to bend the bow and put the arrow.

"Humph, you will pay the price for your arrogance today." Yan Xiaoyi was angry, closed one eye, and the true energy in his body ran wild, blowing his robes.

Fifty steps, one step with a murderous intent. Yan Xiaoyi's eyes, as cold as an arrow, locked onto Qin Hao, and his fingers slowly pulled the string to the full. The first arrow, the sound of breaking through the air resounded through the sky, and the air seemed to be torn apart, going straight to Qin Hao's throat.

Qin Hao, without moving, had a domineering Qi surging, and his fist swung slightly. The arrow was three inches in front of his throat, but was deflected by an invisible force. The next second, the eaves at one corner of the palace exploded directly, and the stone beast sitting on the eaves had half of its head cut off. The incision was as smooth as a mirror, just like cutting. The force control was so precise that it could be called a magical skill.

This scene also stunned the people watching the battle below. In their eyes, Yan Xiaoyi's arrow was shot from the time it arrived in front of Qin Hao in a blink of an eye. Many of them didn't even see how Qin Hao deflected the arrow.

Seeing that his first arrow was easily resolved by Qin Hao, Yan Xiaoyi was surprised and also aroused his competitive spirit. He shouted: "Commander Qin has a good method. This second arrow, Yan will not hold back."

As he spoke, Yan Xiaoyi had already loosened his fingers holding the tail of the arrow. This arrow was faster and more fierce. The tip of the arrow almost brushed the edge of the sun and went straight to Qin Hao's chest.

This time, Qin Hao moved, bending down like an iron bridge to avoid Yan Xiaoyi's fatal arrow, and then lightly stepped on the eaves of the palace, and his whole body drew a half circle, and in an instant he came to the edge of the palace. The distance from Yan Xiaoyi was reduced from fifty steps at the beginning to thirty steps, and the powerful explosive power of the domineering true qi was also revealed at this moment.

Yan Xiaoyi's reaction was also very fast. Just when he shot the second arrow, his hand had already touched the quiver behind him, but Qin Hao's speed was so fast that Yan Xiaoyi couldn't help sweating on his forehead, knowing that the third arrow would decide everything. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his strength on the bowstring. This would be an arrow that could shake the mountains and rivers.

However, Qin Hao's footsteps were faster. The eight-step chase cicada body movement combined with the powerful explosive power of the domineering true qi made his body as fast as thunder. In a blink of an eye, he was less than five steps away from Yan Xiaoyi.

Yan Xiaoyi kept swinging his arms, trying to lock Qin Hao's figure, but Qin Hao's erratic movement dazzled him, and the third arrow could not be shot.

Finally, when the two sides were only three steps away, Yan Xiaoyi suddenly had a gleam in his eyes: "I got you!"

Just when Yan Xiaoyi was about to release his fingers holding the tail of the arrow, Qin Hao burst out with amazing speed again, and what shocked Yan Xiaoyi even more was that the other party actually rushed straight towards him.

In a flash, a sharp hissing sound made the eardrums of the people present sore.

But Qin Hao had already grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's bow with one hand, and the arrow that was about to leave the bowstring was also stuck on the bowstring with two fingers, and the sharp sound just now came from this.

With a "bang", the strong bow that had followed Yan Xiaoyi for many years was also shattered under this huge force.

Sorry brothers, I'm late, make up for last night.
