Chapter 527: Each Has His Own Plan

He was defeated by He Lingchuan in the Lotus Palace, and he felt very uncomfortable these days.

It would be even more pointless to challenge He Lingchuan with the pretext of making a comeback.

What's more, that kid Zhong Sunmou was probably killed, so there was no good reason for him to embarrass He Lingchuan.

What Bai Ziqi just said made his heart sparkle again.

"I just want to understand the situation, but you have missed the point." Bai Ziqi looked at him and smiled, raising a finger, "First, God is concerned about whether this case has anything to do with the elixir? That is, It means whether He Xiao and Prince Yue are searching in the right direction, and whether Zhong Sunmou conspired with Cen Boqing to deceive the emperor."

"Yes!" Fan Sheng lowered his head and felt the pressure again, "Before, the general was reckless."

If he had known that Zhongsun was trying to deal with something as bad as elixir, he would never have interfered.

The elixir is one of the reverse scales of the gods.

It's okay now, I've also been sucked into the whirlpool.

Fortunately, the special envoy sent by above is Baidu Envoy. If you cooperate well, you will be less punished.

"Secondly, the reason why I came to investigate the case was because the murder of the patrol envoy alarmed the emperor. And Mai Xuewen was the undoubted murderer. Thousands of pairs of eyes saw it under the Chaohu Tower that day. His public murder was an attack on Lingxu City's direct provocation." Bai Ziqi put down the tea cup, "So, the other key point is to capture Mai Xuewen. As for Fu Shanyue, his goals are the same as ours."

When he said this, Fan Sheng nodded. In the end, he was stunned. He thought for a few seconds before saying, "So, we won't investigate them?"

"What to check?" Bai Ziqi shook his head, "The speculations you and I have are just suspicions. They can easily prevaricate. If we can't catch Mai Xuewen, we won't have any evidence to accuse him."

Fan Sheng has been involved in the officialdom for some time, and after thinking about it, he understood that Bai Duzhi planned to temporarily ignore the "minor" anomalies of Prince Chiyan and focus on the two key points.

In other words, they will continue to cooperate with Fu Shanyue to investigate the case.

Seeing that Bai Ziqi's brows were still furrowed, he cupped his fists and said, "General Bai, how can I serve you?"

"It's hard for Cen Boqing to stand up. The next step to investigate is whether Da Sinong was involved. Alas, I really caught up with the good times, and the difficulties are all behind this." Bai Ziqi pondered, "Actually, I originally went south to another place. There is an important matter. Now it seems that the case of the messenger happened just a few days ago, and they are both in Chiyan. Is there any connection? "

Fan Sheng was confused. Did Bai Duzhi originally have to handle two cases?

Just as Bai Ziqi was about to speak again, Fan Sheng's personal guards suddenly rushed in from outside and reported:

The special envoy of the Prince of Chiyan successfully captured the fugitive and swaggered into the city!

Caught? Bai Ziqi stood up and said, "Okay, Commander Fan will come with me."

He also warned Fan Sheng: "If Cen Boqing is arrested, you must capture Cheng Yu as soon as possible. This person is very important! He is a witness himself, and his spell is very special. He can transform into Qingming. There may be others later." "

"yes."

…

Soon, another piece of information quietly flowed into the Cen Mansion:

The prince actually brought back a mother and son from the north and kept them under strict guard. The mother was in her twenties and the son was only seven or eight years old.

Cen Boqing was having tea at the time. When he heard the news, the tea cup dropped on the table with a bang.

Was he actually found by Fu Shanyue?

Between relatives and masters, how would Wu Kai choose?

No wonder Yang Song was arrested.

Cen Boqing walked back and forth in the garden more than a dozen times, and finally made up his mind to find Cheng Yu.

Now that you have made a decision, you must seize the time.

If you hesitate, you will lose.

Seeing that Cheng Yu's soul was still sleeping in the bottle, Cen Bo couldn't breathe. If this guy hadn't been able to sleep so well, would he be in this predicament?

He instructed the guards to directly remove the cork from the bottle.

The lantern of the snow bottle went out immediately, as if a thin wisp of smoke flew out of the bottle mouth.

After just a few breaths, the curse master opened his eyes.

When he first woke up, he was still a little dazed, but after focusing his eyes, he jumped up from the bed and pointed angrily at Cen Boqing: "You're going to pull out my plug?"

Before he finished speaking, the world was spinning for a while, and he lay on the bedside vomiting.

The most difficult thing to do is to heal an injured soul. Even for him, twenty or thirty days is not enough to heal it. How many days have passed this time?

The most important thing is that this snow bottle can only be used once.

He looked at the bottle and found that the bottle was quietly covered with cracks, and it looked like it would break if touched.

It's really useless.

"We are surrounded by wolves, we can't wait any longer." Cen Bo wanted to pull out his plug early in the morning, but what Cheng Yu said before going into seclusion was too shocking. Pulling out the plug early would definitely lead to bad luck. Considering that this guy is a powerful spell master, Cen Boqing endured it for so many days and missed the best opportunity.

Now look at it, what are the consequences?

He was really deceived by this guy!

Cen Boqing felt depressed in his heart: "In the past few days since you have been sleeping, the situation has changed suddenly, and the mansion has been searched by the prince."

Previously, Cheng Yu's body and soul were divided into two parts. They rested in separate places and slept for seven or eight days before waking up. His face looked much better.

But his face almost wrinkled into a bitter melon: "I have been hurt by you! In the dreamland in the bottle, I was in a state of scattered souls. When you pulled out the stopper, one of my souls took the opportunity to fly away. I don't know how long it will take to find it. return."

"What will happen if you lose your soul?"

"I will become slow-minded, slow-moving, and weak and sickly." Cheng Yu was angry, "We who are spell masters are not in good health. If you do this, I'm afraid my life will be shortened in the future."

There is a price to pay for living with evil spirits all day long.

Cen Boqing said coldly: "If you don't take action, I'm afraid you and I will die soon, so how can there be a 'later'?"

Cheng Yu rolled his eyelids: "Who do you want to deal with now?"

He now looked closely at this Lord Cen, his eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were deep, and he was thinner. It was obvious that he had been suffering these days.

Cen Boqing hesitated for a while before saying: "Wu Kai."

"Wu..." Cheng Yu thought he had heard it wrong, "your old servant?"

"Yes."

It seems that a lot of things really happened during his sleep. Cheng Yu coughed twice, his face a little pale: "Okay, I don't like him a long time ago. Where is he?"

"In the hands of Prince Fu Shanyue."

Cheng Yu was stunned again: "Has he been captured?" He also guessed that Cen Boqing wanted to silence him, "How do you want him to die?"

"As long as the cause of death has nothing to do with me."

Cheng Yu thought for too long, Cen Boqing frowned: "You are not called a king, you can plot against him?" In this situation, he no longer respected Cheng Yu before.

Especially since this guy failed to plot against He Xiao and was attacked, Cen Boqing deeply doubted his ability.

"I am not healed from my injury, and my magic is not as sharp as before." Cheng Yu was dizzy at the moment, but he still remembered the failed surprise attack that night.

He still couldn't figure out how the Hundred-Faced Nightmare could lose to a 16- or 17-year-old boy?

How could a giant whale be choked to death by a krill?

What's so strange about He Xiao?

He said to Cen Boqing: "Prepare a few things for me: Wu Kai's birth date, personal belongings, hair or nails, rootless water, cinnabar, a live quail..."

He asked for more than a dozen things in one breath, several of which were strange and bizarre.

At this point, Cen Boqing only wanted to get it done quickly, so he ordered people to do it in the same way.

Cheng Yu asked again: "When will we start?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Cen Boqing followed with a but, "For safety reasons, we have to go ahead."

"Ah?" Cheng Yu didn't understand.

"Do you remember how you got into the Cen Mansion?" Cen Boqing said coldly, "General Lu has searched this house, but didn't find you. Do you know why?"

...

"The intelligence has just been delivered to the Cen Mansion?" He Lingchuan was dissatisfied, "Why is it so slow?"

Wu Kai was cunning, and the progress of the case was two days later than originally planned. This is not good, and delays will lead to changes.

"Hey, do you also need the cooperation of the other party?" Fu Shanyue was helpless, "Cen Boqing is short of manpower now. I want to pass on the news to him, and I have to make it seem that they found out by themselves. Do you think this is easy?"

"The Fan brothers have not made any unusual movements in the past few days?"

"Fan Sheng has been guarding his bear and has not moved much. He seems to be honest." Fu Shanyue snorted, "On the day I besieged the Cen Mansion, they didn't show up. They were probably scared."

The Fan brothers owed the Zhongsun family a favor, not the Cen family. Even if Cen Boqing lost his head, they would not bother to care.

At this point, he patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder: "I don't think you need to go to Lingxu City anymore, just stay in Chiyan, I'll give you a high position."

Before He Lingchuan could reply, a guard rushed in from outside and reported to Fu Shanyue:

"Someone outside wants to see the prince, claiming to be the Duyun envoy sent by Lingxu City, surnamed Bai. The other is Commander Fan."

Fu Shanyue was startled, and he and He Lingchuan looked at each other, and they both said "I'm here" in their hearts.

But why did they come so early?

According to Fu Shanyue's original inference, the news of Zhongsun Mou's murder had just reached the imperial capital not long ago. There should be some shirking and wrangling in Lingxu City about the selection of the envoy, right? Then the envoy will set off again, or be dispatched from other places.

In this way, there should be more than 20 days before and after.

How could it be here now?

Just at this moment.

If something is abnormal, there must be troubles following.

Fu Shanyue's brows almost knotted: "How could it be Du Yunshi? This is not right."

He Lingchuan heard this title for the first time: "Who is Du Yunshi?"

"There is a heavenly palace on Mount Xu, and there is a Zhaixing Tower in the heavenly palace, which is dedicated to communicating with the gods. There are nearly two thousand servants in the tower. The one in charge of Zhaixing Tower is Du Yunshi, who is divided into the chief and deputy, and has a rank. And he said his surname is Bai, so it must be Bai Ziqi, the deputy Du Yunshi."

He Lingchuan hurriedly asked the most crucial question:

"In Lingxu City, which group is he in?"

People are divided into left, middle and right. Lingxu City must have weighed the pros and cons before sending a special envoy. Just by looking at this person's origin, status and faction, He Lingchuan can probably know Lingxu City's attitude towards this case.

Should we investigate thoroughly, or quickly calm down the storm?

Should we be impartial, or should we consider the complicated relationships in the imperial capital?
