Chapter 121 The Pattern Has Begun
He turned back to find Dugu Bo, who was looking for him with Xiao. The reason was that he wanted to use his double pupils to check for the Xingluo soldiers.
"We suspect that this matter is related to the Spirit Hall, and that the Xingluo royal family is being used. We want you to go and take a look." He paused here.
In his early years, Prince Xuexing suspected that the eldest prince was in collusion with the Spirit Hall and persecuted his own brothers in order to ascend to the throne.
Now that "Xue Qinghe" is dead, his suspicion is gone, but the suspicion of the Spirit Hall is growing. After all, the Spirit Hall benefits the most from the war between the two empires.
"no problem."
Shi Yi nodded in agreement, and the three of them went together to find the imprisoned soldiers.
"I want to see whether you are tough with your mouth or with your body." As soon as I stepped into the cell, I heard Ge Shuai's interrogation voice.
"The Grand Prince asked us to do so."
A Xing Luo soldier was covered in blood, his flesh was riddled with holes, and his powerful mental strength was holding on to his life, but his consciousness was still saying that it was Davis's order.
"We met the eldest prince, and he asked us to kill that group of people."
"Give me a chance to live, and I am willing to be a dog for the Tiandou royal family."
Two more soldiers were dragged out, their faces filled with fear, they were already frightened out of their wits by General Ge's methods.
Their statements were surprisingly consistent, and they were ordered by Davis to kill the Great Prince Tiandou.
When I first heard their tone, I realized how much training they must have received to be so stubborn.
Then, his pupils scanned the two people one by one. There was nothing wrong with their mental strength, but there was no fear under their panicked faces. The apparent panic was just a performance.
"Awesome, the people trained by the Spirit Hall are really good at talking." Shi Yi laughed secretly in his heart. If he didn't have double pupils, he would have almost believed it.
Based on his understanding of the Spirit Hall, this group of people must be undercover agents, becoming members of the Royal Knights step by step in order to carry out this plan.
"They are all lying." Shi Yi did not reveal everything, leaving room for everything. It would be beneficial to both him and the Spirit Hall.
"You have no secrets in this prison!"
When Ge Shuai turned around and saw that it was him, he became even more certain that they were hiding a secret, and immediately increased the intensity of torture to extract a confession.
This matter must be investigated as soon as possible. The murder of the eldest prince concerns the royal family and even the borders of the empire. I believe that within two days, there will be great friction on the borders of the empire.
“Even if it wasn’t the Spirit Hall that did it, they are still responsible.” Dugu Bo frowned.
Shi Yi asked, "How is His Majesty Xue Ye doing?"
At that time, eight performers spread the poisonous fog to create smoke as soon as possible, while Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen went to protect Xue Ye.
"Someone took advantage of the chaos to approach Your Majesty and was captured by Old Dragon, but the poison he spread was exactly the same as the colorful poison of the Poyi clan." Dugu Bo said.
The situation was in chaos at the time, with smoke covering the entire square obscuring vision. They all thought that Emperor Xue Ye was in danger.
No one expected that their target would be the eldest prince.
At that time, Gu Rong had been hiding, ready for an emergency, until it was too late for them to make a move on the eldest prince.
Dugu Bo said: "Gu Rong said that there was an accident at that time. The spear thrown at the eldest prince was blessed by a mysterious force. He had the opportunity to block it but failed."
"Is that so?" Shi Yi murmured.
At that time, he only saw the space in front of Qian Renxue fluctuate, and did not notice anyone else taking action.
Those eight performers were also from the Spirit Hall, eight Soul Saints, and they realized something was wrong as soon as they entered the venue.
But he kept silent and waited for events to develop before assassinating Xue Ye.
I thought Qian Renxue wanted to kill Xue Ye, but she did the opposite and used a trick to escape the charge of killing the prince.
"Has the identity of the person who approached His Majesty been uncovered?"
Dugu Bo said: "He took poison after being captured. It was more like a smokescreen to conceal the real purpose."
The Spirit Hall made several preparations in order for Qian Renxue to successfully escape from the Tiandou royal family.
"So, are you trying to buy time by putting the blame on the Xing Luo Empire?"
If Qian Renxue was allowed to leave the Tiandou royal family with such fanfare, it was not for the Angel God's test, he could not think of a second possibility.
Combined with the information obtained from Qian Renxue before, Bibi Dong's divine test was proceeding normally. Since Qian Renxue had to go back, it meant that she was not sure whether the test would be affected by the Shura God again.
So let Qian Renxue go back to take the divine test in case of emergency.
"Is that so?" He was not sure if his guess was correct. He was not the kind of person who liked to gamble, so he had to speed up his cultivation process.
Shi Yi's face straightened, and he looked at Xiao who was silent beside him, and ordered: "Go back to Heaven and ask Yang Wudi to recall everyone. No one is allowed to leave the mountain without my order."
"Yes." Xiao heard this and quickly left the place.
"The continent is about to change." Dugu Bo frowned. He saw clearly that the situation was out of control.
Shi Yi reminded: "Have someone protect Davis, he is in danger now."
"What do you mean?"
"If the murderer is from the Spirit Hall, what do you think will happen to the two empires if Davis dies in the Tiandou Empire?" Shi Yi said.
He couldn't let a war break out between the empires. The water could be used to make fun of them, but there couldn't be chaos. In the end, the two empires had to contain the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice: "That makes sense, I will go find Prince Xuexing."
Shi Yi watched him leave, then went to find Shui Bing'er and others.
They all took refuge in the hotel after the crowd chaos, and when they saw him coming back, they all asked what happened.
The royal family had not yet issued an announcement to the outside world, so they didn't know that the "eldest prince" was dead.
"The situation is very chaotic. Your Majesty and the eldest prince were attacked, and the eldest prince died."
"The eldest prince is dead!"
"The Xingluo royal family can't be so stupid."
"I can't possibly kill the Crown Prince openly even if I'm not smart enough."
Ma Hongjun said worriedly: "Brother Yi, there won't be a war next."
"It's not impossible, so it's best not to jump around recently." Shi Yi shook his head.
The entire city of Tiandou is under martial law and no one can go out for the moment, so they stay in the hotel.
Shui Bing'er suddenly pulled Shi Yi into the room and asked, "Why do you smell so good? Have you had contact with a woman?"
Shi Yi: “!!!”
"I was wondering why the senior looked so unhappy. So this is what happened." Shi Yi paused slightly.
Recalling his meeting with Dugu Bo, he suddenly paused, probably because he discovered that he was going to see Qian Renxue.
He didn't ask and he didn't say anything, they both understood each other tacitly.
Shui Bing'er asked, "Is that woman related to the Square Incident?"
"That's right." Shi Yi did not hide it, and then said: "I will tell you later. Knowing too much is not good for you."
Shui Bing'er smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think I can help you."
Shi Yi rubbed her face and said, "I can handle it. Just focus on your cultivation."
"Is it dangerous?"
“There are dangers in everything.”
The next day, on a snowy night, the emperor regained his spirit and immediately convened a court meeting. Dugu Bo asked Shi Yi to go to the palace but was rejected.
His explanation: "I don't want to get involved in imperial disputes."
He is not a member of the royal family and is not affiliated with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so there is no need for him to drag his entire family into battle.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "I will explain this to Prince Xuexing."
He understood Shi Yi's thoughts, after all, he felt the same way.
