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

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

Chen Xing was sad for a while, so he had to caress its eyes and put it behind the rockery. Xiang Shu leaned against the corner of the wall so tired, his eyes closed slightly.

The morning light was faint, and the bell sounded in the distance. It was already daylight in Chang'an City. The two of them accidentally bumped into each other, climbed the high wall, and broke into this family's house, only to hear that the servants in the mansion had stood up, and the women were talking and preparing Clean the yard.

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

Xiang Shu's foot was sticking out of the rockery, but he didn't answer. Chen Xing forced him in, touched his shoulder with one hand, and felt wet and greasy. When he looked at his hand again, he was shocked.

"Why so much blood?!" Chen Xing said.

"Shut up..." Xiang Shu finally replied.

Chen Xing hurriedly turned over Xiang Shu's shoulders, only to see that when Xiang Shu escaped from the palace, he actually protected him with his back and was hit by several arrows.

At that time, Chen Xing heard the sound of the firewood room in the backyard again, and the servant came out with the firewood in his arms. He took Xiang Shu into the firewood room in a hurry when no one was there, closed the door, had to hide for a while, and cut out an arrow for him with a dagger. .

The old injury was not healed, and a new injury was added. Chen Xing's hands were covered with blood. He glanced out from the gap in the door, and quickly went out to wash his hands, and then brought back some water for Xiang Shu to drink.

"How to do?"

After the two of them recovered, Chen Xing said, "This is bad, let's kill Princess Qinghe in front of Fu Jian."

Xiang Shu did not speak, Chen Xing sat cross-legged and said to Xiang Shu, "The last sword..."

For a moment, Xiang Shu grabbed Chen Xing's neck.

Chen Xing: "..."

Xiang Shu pushed Chen Xing aside, with anger in his voice: "You were kidnapped at that time, if I didn't take a heavy hand, would you still be alive now?!"

Xiang Shu was extremely angry. Chen Xing did not expect that Princess Qinghe would be with the mysterious group of people. Judging from the black fire, maybe even she was attacked by grievances, but she was already dead, so she could say anything. useless.

"Be sober!" Chen Xing said angrily, "Can you blame me for this?"

Xiang Shu roared almost desperately, "If it wasn't for you! She wouldn't die!"

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

The two were silent for a while, and Chen Xing naturally knew that Xiang Shu was regretting his overhand shot and misjudging the opponent's strength, but he only took anger for a while. But judging from the last scene, Princess Qinghe was obviously full of resentment, and even secretly colluded with the mysterious person. Once Xiang Shu is caught, he will mercilessly kill himself for convenience.

Chen Xing regained his calm and said, "Feng Qianyi, Princess Qinghe, who else is next?"

Xiang Shu finally calmed down and closed his eyes.

Chen Xing added: "The two of us jumped into the Yellow River and we can't wash it. Fu Jian must be searching for us in the whole city. I don't know who else is behind Princess Qinghe, and Yin Yang Jian is still in the palace, so I'm afraid they will Kill Big Brother Feng..."

"She wants revenge for the Murong Clan," Xiang Shu finally said slowly, "Since the day Dayan was destroyed by Fu Jian, she has never given up. She just doesn't know how she got on with the Feng family."

Chen Xing suddenly remembered what Princess Qinghe said intermittently before she died.

Xiang Shu closed his eyes again, and murmured, "It's a pity that I was born as a daughter. Hongzhuang, riding a horse, you won't be able to go back to the grasslands if you don't have to ride and shoot kung fu..."

Chen Xing recalled the words and smiles of Princess Qinghe. Judging from these days, the friendship with Xiang Shu's old friend should be very deep.

"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing said.

The item did not answer.

"I'm sorry." Chen Xing said.

"None of your business." Xiang Shu said coldly, never opening his eyes.

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

"Don't go anywhere," Xiang Shu said in an indifferent voice, "Stay here. The lonely king will sleep for a while, too tired..."

Chen Xing was also quite tired. Feng Qianjun's life and death were unknown, and most of the time he would face Fu Jian's anger directly. Severe torture was indispensable, and 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 this kill? ! Chen Xing was fidgeting, but Xiang Shu fell asleep as if nothing was happening. He wanted to go out by himself to check on the situation, but he didn't have Xiangshu. It was estimated that he couldn't even walk out of the main street, so he had to give up.

Touching the bamboo slips in his arms again, the bamboo slips also disappeared. Chen Xing was very sure that the bamboo slips would not have been dropped while fleeing. Thinking of this, the only possibility was that things in the mirror world could not be brought to the world.

Chen Xing was exhausted, holding a dead dog in his arms, exhausted, leaning under the wood stack, thinking about it and falling asleep, unconsciously, his head slipped and fell into Xiang Shu's arms. Xiang Shu held the sword in one hand, stunned in his sleep, opened his eyes, and when he saw no enemy, he raised his right hand and placed it on Chen Xing's shoulder.

This day is destined to be the most turbulent day after Fu Jian killed his elder brother Fu Sheng. Although the news of Princess Qinghe's death under the sword of Dadan has been strictly blocked, it still spreads like wildfire. Less than an hour later, when the Chang'an morning market opened, all the streets and alleys knew the news.

Chang'an was the first day since Fu Jian's destruction of the state of Yan that such a major event that shocked the court and the opposition occurred. For Qin, the Murong family was a force that should not be underestimated. The ministers of the subjugated state, Jing Zhaoyin Murong Chui who surrendered to Fu Jian, Fan Yang Prefect Murong Ping, and Shang Shu Murong Wei who came to Beijing to report their duties, went to court to see Fu Jian at dawn. The children of the Murong clan in Xianbei, the Tuoba clan who had a marriage relationship, and the Qiang man Gou Chang who had a close relationship with the Murong family, all knelt and waited outside the hall.

The Daqin Chaotang suddenly exploded, because Princess Qinghe, in a certain sense, symbolized the connection between Murong's family and Fu Jian, who was in power. For the sake of growth, Fu Jian even refused to accept concubines because of Qinghe and Murong Chong. People are so ignorant that they died under the sword of Shulu Kong, and Fu Jian will give an account to the Manchu civil and military anyway.

The entire Murong clan was completely shocked when they heard the news, but under the surging current, when they questioned Fu Jian, they seemed to be more vigilant.

That look Fu Jian had seen more than once, so familiar it couldn't be more familiar.

"I'm chasing Da Chanyu." Fu Jian's eyes were red and exhausted, as if he had aged ten years overnight, and he said slowly, "There are many clues about the changes last night, and there is no period of time. Da Chanyu has already fled in fear of crime. , only he can tell us the answer."

There are many children of the humble aristocrats in Manchurian Korea, and they are silent. Only the Yuwen family, who has a long-standing feud with the Murong clan, is a bit gloating.

"Your Majesty," Shang Shu Murong Wei said, "where were you when the tragedy happened?"

Murong Chui was burnt to the side by flames in the battle of Xiangyang City a few months ago. At this time, he was still wearing an iron mask and was gloomy and silent.

"What do you mean by this?! Do you suspect that I am also complicit?!" Fu Jian suddenly said angrily.

The people standing under the steps clearly showed distrust. When Shulukong arrived in Chang'an, the first day was full of turmoil. Fu Jian's fear of Shulukong had already spread throughout the imperial court. The containment of Fu Jian and the closeness of the two parties have made all ethnic groups in Chang'an feel uneasy, fearing that the next step is for more northern nomadic tribes to enter the customs and come to divide them up at the cost of their country's subjugation. In exchange for hard-won benefits.

Murong Chui finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that besides Shulukong, there are two Han Chinese assassins, one escaped from the Weiyang Palace with the chief conspirator, and the other was arrested by the palace and belongs to the Feng family of Xifeng Bank. Little son, is it true?!"

"Why did Da Chanyu collude with a group of Han people?" Murong Wei asked in disbelief.

Fu Jian replied indifferently and asked: "Tuoba Yan has led the forbidden army to surround Songshan and the Feng clan. They have indeed absconded in fear of crime. The whole family went up and down and left the city overnight."

"Where is the man?" Finally someone couldn't hold back, "Hand over him!"

"Bold!" Wang Ziye said, scolding for Fu Jian.

Fu Jian replied: "I can't hand it over to you, I am in the process of interrogation, and within three days, I will definitely give you an explanation. Compared with you, I am saddened in my heart, only worse, go back and think about it clearly, calm down, retreat."

Fu Jian grieved the loss of his lover, and no longer cared about the rudeness of the Murong family, but at noon that day, the army in Chang'an City had begun to mobilize, the reason was to prevent Dadan from conspiring against Shulukong, but everyone with discernment knew that Shulukong. Alone, the army of the ancient alliance is all outside the fortress, even if he raises his arm, the world responds, Zhuhunjun will set the gate in the middle, do good deeds, the thieves of the Qing Dynasty will help the Jin Dynasty, and it will take ten days for the army to reach Chang'an, Fujian. Who is doing this to guard against?

Only the Murong Clan.

Chen Xing pushed the firewood room door open a crack and looked out.

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

Xiang Shu didn't lose much blood, but soon recovered his complexion and got up to carry his sword.

"What do I do next?" Chen Xing walked through the corridor, and in a huge mansion, there was no one in the back, and when he got to the kitchen, there was a prepared breakfast.

"You have to see the strong side," Xiang Shu said, "to confirm his safety, and then try to rescue Feng Qianjun by the way. Princess Qinghe has a desire for revenge, and it must be a day's work. I don't know how many people in this group are in the same party. The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, not to mention revenge, and it is impossible to save his own life, so you must prepare as soon as possible."

Chen Xing knew that once Xiang Shu was hidden in the dark, no one would be able to move him with his martial arts skills.

Chen Xing said: "I..."

Item description: "?"

Chen Xingchao said: "I'm not going to hold you back."

Chen Xing was worried, and Xiang Shu wouldn't have been hit by an arrow last night if it wasn't to protect himself.

Xiang Shu: "Are you waiting here?"

Chen Xing said: "I'll think of a way to go."

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

"If he wants to believe, he will believe everything I say," Xiang Shu said, revealing the essence of the matter. "If he doesn't believe it, he won't believe anything that I show him."

Chen Xing thought that was the case, Xiang Shu pushed aside the woodshed and walked out. The sun was shining brightly, and Chen Xing's eyes were a little bit hard to open. Xiang Shu looked around and said, "You have to find another safe place to hide."

Chen Xing suddenly stopped, saw a carriage parked in the backyard, and immediately looked at Xiang Shu, both of them recognized that it was Tuoba Yan's car. ! No wonder there was no movement all morning, no matter how the Imperial Army searched, they would not search the residence of their generals.

It just so happened that a voice came from outside, and it seemed that Tuoba Yan had returned.

"I'm going to see him." Chen Xing said.

"Don't seek death." Xiang Shu said, "Let's go now!"

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

Tuoba Yan suffered such a heavy blow last night, and after one night, the whole person was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Fu Jian's anger was still not unreasonable, and he did not drag him to prison to be convicted. He only informed the whole army, and immediately arrested Xiang Shu and Chen Xing at all costs.

Otherwise, Princess Qinghe would be killed, and Tuoba Yan would be the first person to be arrested and beheaded. Apart from the importance of responsibilities, Qinghe treated him like a younger brother. In terms of grief, in the entire city of Chang'an, apart from Fu Jian, Tuoba Yan was the second. Ba Yan is gone.

Tuoba Yan took a deep breath, covered his forehead with one hand, buried his eyebrows and eyes in his palm, sat alone in the hall, gasping for breath. Right now, the city was under martial law, the forbidden army was searching everywhere, and the members of the Murong family scolded the forbidden army and vowed to rule Tuo. Ba Yan was guilty of dereliction of duty. Seeing Tuoba Yan's anger and anger, his subordinates were afraid that the young man who was under 20 might do something irreversible on impulse, so he escorted him back to rest for a while, and immediately reported to him as soon as he had information.

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

Tuoba Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief.

Chen Xing did not know when, but actually appeared in the hall, Tuoba Yan immediately reacted and got up, but Chen Xing said: "Tuoba Yan!"

Tuoba Yan stared at Chen Xing while panting, and said, "You...you..."

Chen Xing raised his hand and said, "If you want to listen, you can listen. If you don't want to listen, now tie me up and go to see Fu Jian." He stretched his sleeves, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon. He looked left and right, 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 with grief: "What is going on? Why did Da Chanyu kill her! This is unreasonable! You must give me an explanation!"

"Fairy Wood"

Chen Xing took a deep breath and told him the whole story of the incident. The more Tuoba Yan listened, the more absurd it became, but he did not interrupt Chen Xing, and his brows furrowed.

"This..." Tuoba Yan said, "Impossible! Why would she..."

Chen Xing explained: "She must be confused and manipulated, Tuoba Yan, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with her usual behavior?"

Tuoba Yan got up, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly looked at Chen Xing.

"What about the mirror?" Chen Xing said, "As long as I have a mirror in hand, I can prove it to you."

Tuoba Yan regained his composure and said, "I don't know, the situation at that time was so chaotic, you... how is this possible? She is practicing magic?"

Chen Xing said: "There is another way to find Feng Qianyi and let me confront him."

Tuoba Yan: "Feng's house was empty in the middle of last night."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Chen Xing approached Tuoba Yan, and Tuoba Yan sat down again and muttered: "Now the Murong family has been quarreling, ask Your Majesty to hand over the murderer... Where did Da Chanyu go? He... even if he cultivates Sorcery, why do you have such a heavy hand?"

Chen Xing sat side by side with him, remembering the fact that Princess Qinghe specially kissed Tuoba Yan, and he could guess that the two were in love with each other, and they had a deep relationship, and the perpetrator that everyone witnessed that night was Xiang Shu. Chen Xing was not regarded as an accomplice, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Chen Xing thought for a while, stretched out his hand, a warm white light emitted from his hand, passed under Tuoba Yan's arm, and gently pressed it on his chest.

Tuoba Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was better, Chen Xing said, "Xiang Shu is going to find a way to negotiate with Fu Jian."

It is useless to persuade anyone now. Fu Jian is the one who decides everything. Only by avoiding his sharp edge and explaining things clearly can this misunderstanding be resolved.

Tuoba Yan got up and said, "I'll order to hunt down the Feng family."

Chen Xing didn't have high expectations and asked Tuoba Yan to protect him and cover up the crime of harboring criminals, which was equivalent to conspiracy. The most important thing about appearing in front of Tuoba Yan is that he agrees with Xiang Shu and must ensure that Yin Yang Jian will not fall into the hands of Feng Qianyi or other accomplices again.

In exchange, he was even willing to go to see Fu Jian directly, and let Tuoba Yan protect the Yin Yang Jian.

Tuoba Yan glanced at Chen Xing and said anxiously, "You can't enter the palace now. Once you're in prison, the Murong Clan will try to kill you and pay for your cousin's life." He frowned, as if he was considering a difficult decision. Said: "Or hold you hostage and force Da Shanyu to show up."

"Stay at my house," Tuoba Yan thought about it, and finally said, "This is the safest place right now."

Chen Xing was very surprised and said, "No! You are harboring criminals..."

However, Tuoba Yan waved his hand, went out and called his subordinates to give instructions, but did not let anyone enter the hall. Chen Xing stood on the side of the screen, and after listening carefully, he learned that he first asked people to enter the palace to retrieve the mirror from last night, and then led a group of people out of Chang'an to track down the whereabouts of Feng Qianyi's family.

"The Feng family must not have fled." After Tuoba Yan came back, he motioned for Chen Xing to rest by the couch for a while.

"Are you tired?" Tuoba Yan asked again, "Sleep for a while, I'll have someone make something to eat."

Chen Xing was inexplicably moved, and was about to speak, but Tuoba Yan explained, "Do you think I protect you because I like you?"

Chen Xing was immediately very embarrassed, his face flushed red, thinking that this barbarian had just made the words clear, so he quickly waved his hand and signaled not to say any more. Guess Tuoba Yan said again: "No, Brother Tianchi. The most important thing at the moment is not the cause of the death of the cousin. The hundreds of thousands of 'scorpions' in your mouth, once they are released, the consequences will be no trivial matter. You are the only one who can solve the hidden danger. People, must not send you into the palace."

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Tuoba Yan's words were so transparent. He was the commander of the forbidden army at the age of eighteen, which shows that Fu Jian's evaluation of it was true.

Xiang Shu, who was hiding behind the screen, heard this and knew that Tuoba Yan had roughly believed Chen Xing's words, so he turned out the back window of the hall and left quietly.

"Thank you," Chen Xing said sincerely, relieved, "Thank you, Brother Tuoba."

Tuoba Yan took out a map and spread it on the table. Chen Xing saw it was the layout of the city defense. Tuoba Yan sighed again and said, "As soon as my cousin dies, I'm afraid that the Murong family will not let it go. Now is the most dangerous time. I can only hope that Da Chanyu can untangle this dead end as soon as possible."

Chen Xing didn't dare to look at it, and was secretly shocked. What happened last night was only likely to intensify the conflict between the Xianbei people and Fu Jian. As a subjugated citizen of the Yan Kingdom, the Murong family might have secretly rebelled against the Qinghe family. Support behind, if this is the case, use resentment to create evil, the party who uses the world in the mirror is actually the Murong family, and the trouble will only be greater.

Fu Jian will face the early rebellion of the Murong clan, and Tuoba Yan's situation is also quite dangerous.

After thinking about it, Chen Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say, "Get back the mirror, I guarantee it will be absolutely fine."

Tuoba Yan nodded solemnly and began to re-plan the deployment of troops in Chang'an City.

An hour later, Chen Xing was still thinking mentally, but Tuoba Yan first fell asleep on the desk. Chen Xing walked over and glanced at it. On the side of the table, there was a copy of "Xing Xing Xing Xing" that he had written for Tuoba Yan not long ago.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the hall, and Chen Xing hurriedly pushed Tuoba Yan to wake up and hid behind the screen.

Tuoba Yan was a little sober and shouted, "How?"

"I searched for the whereabouts of Changfeng Palace," the subordinate replied. "I didn't see the round mirror mentioned by the general. I asked Your Majesty, and His Majesty doesn't remember it either."

Chen Xing's heart thumped, Tuoba Yan didn't speak, and his subordinate said, "I knew that I had met with the servants before I came back, and I told them to send them to the mansion as soon as they found them."

Tuoba Yan asked, "What else did your majesty say?"

"Your Majesty is discussing matters with Lord Prince Ye," his subordinate replied.

Tuoba Yan had to wave for them to leave. The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem. Last night, there were only himself, Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun, Fu Jian, and Tuoba Yan. In the chaos, they fled in a hurry, and who was it? took away?

"It's in danger," Chen Xing said, "Tuoba Yan, you'd better send all your troops back and defend the inner city."

Before Tuoba Yan opened his mouth, another subordinate shouted, "Report—report to General! After the Feng family left the city, there was no trace of them in the four fields, and their whereabouts have not been traced. The Sixteenth Road Official Road has sent people to pursue them along the way."

"It's weird," Tuoba Yan frowned, "Feng Qianyi is still a cripple, and it stands to reason that he can't run very far."

Chen Xing said: "The only possibility is one, they hid in the mirror, so the question is... Who is in the hands of the Yin Yang mirror?"

The Imperial Guards are royal guards, and they are so familiar with the land of Gongye, let alone a mirror, even if they look for a needle, they will definitely be able to find it. Now that the Yin-Yang mirror has disappeared, there must be someone behind it.

"Report—" Suddenly a third group of people came and said loudly, "Your Majesty has an order to execute Feng Qianjun, the assassin in the palace last night, at the execution ground at Xijiekou at three quarters of the time."

Chen Xing: "!!!"
