Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Behind the Scenes

There are assassins! The assassin wants to kill King Ning! That black light was like thunder and lightning, three points faster than the arrows shot by Liannu. The boa constrictor opened its mouth wide, and a black light came out. The spectators were watching the play, and they never dreamed that someone in the theater troupe invited by the prince wanted to kill King Ning. Taking advantage of King Ning's birthday, he wants to kill King Ning. King Ning is highly respected. On the surface, he listens to music and plays plays, talks about Taoism and Qin, and lives in peace with the world. In fact, he lives on thin ice and trembling. Who would take such twists and turns and take such dangers to kill King Ning? What is the purpose?

Could it be that some people don't want King Ning to reveal the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue? No one thought of it, even the King of Han didn't seem to think of it, but Qiu Changfeng had a premonition.He always felt that something was going to happen at the birthday party, so he paid attention to the movement around him.When the monkey on the stage was doing somersaults, he was already paying attention. Others thought that the monkey was doing somersaults well and wonderfully, but Qiu Changfeng was quite surprised. And more like a master of martial arts. When the monkey climbed up to the flagpole, Qiu Changfeng felt terrified, and immediately knew something was wrong.That kind of light-hearted kung fu cannot be used by the troupe of "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity".

How could there be a martial arts master hidden in a theater troupe? The timing of that strike was extremely ingenious, and it was chosen at the climax of the play "Dream Slashing the Cloud Mountain Python" - when everyone merged into the play.At this time, even if someone is on guard against the blow, I'm afraid they will be a bit slack. Before that blow, Qiu Changfeng was already alert.As soon as the black light appeared, Qiu Changfeng suddenly stood up, and in an instant, he stretched out his hand to copy the table. When Qiu Changfeng moved, the King of Han did not move, but the four people behind him all moved.

Except for the Son of Heaven and the Guru, no one dared to act recklessly in front of the King of Han—those who act recklessly will be killed without mercy! Even if King Han has a good attitude towards Qiu Changfeng, as long as Qiu Changfeng shows any unfavorable behavior to King Han, the four of them will kill Qiu Changfeng on the spot. Everyone was either watching a play or looking at King Ning, only the eyes of those four people were always around the King of Han, because they were the 24th day of Tiance's guard - taking the protection of the King of Han as their duty. Those four people are Jingzhe, Grain Rain, Frost's Descent and Autumnal Equinox in the twenty-four festivals.Jingzhe saw that Qiu Changfeng was not pleasing to the eye, and seeing that Qiu Changfeng seemed to be doing something wrong, he rushed over and shouted: "Stop!"

Qiu Changfeng didn't stop, he swung his arm, and the desk case flew out, unexpectedly arriving in front of King Ning at the same time as the black light. With a loud bang, the black light was sent flying by the table and went straight to the ceiling. While still in the air, it exploded with a bang. The black light looked like a crossbow arrow, but there was extremely strong explosive hidden in the body of the arrow. If Qiu Changfeng hadn't hit it in the air, it might explode and everyone present would be affected. But even so, a heat wave mixed with sparks hit everyone, making everyone feel like they were in the scorching heat.

With a loud bang, Jing Zhe punched Qiu Changfeng's chest.Qiu Changfeng was hit by a punch and flew out of the stands like a kite with a broken string. Only then did Jing Zhe realize that Qiu Changfeng's action was to save someone, so she couldn't help being stunned.His punch can knock down a galloping horse, Qiu Changfeng was hit by his punch, how can he survive? The crossbow in the air exploded and sparks scattered, Wei Tieyi had already grabbed Princess Yunmeng, but he was anxious... The task of the twenty-fourth section is to protect the king of Han, but his task of guarding Tieyi is to protect the princess, but both the king of Han and the princess are protected, so who will guard King Ning?

When King Ning heard the Golden Dragon Jue, he seemed to have been frightened. When he saw the crossbow arrows coming, his eyes turned white and he passed out.A person stepped out, hugged King Ning who was about to collapse, and dodged Mars. That person looked ordinary, but at an extraordinary moment, he was extremely calm. That person was King Han's subordinate——Gu Yu. Although Gu Yu was calm, the calmest player on the field was Hanwang.The crossbow arrows flew and exploded, and the stands were full of flames. The King of Han stood there, not moving a little, but his gaze was like a blade, and then he turned to the stage.

Seeing that Mars was about to fall on King Han, Shuang Jiang stood beside King Han, and suddenly waved his sleeves.The wind blows, the wind falls like frost, and the sky is full of sparks, but they suddenly disappear. Shuang Jiang's face was frosty, his eyes were sunken, and after he made a move to rescue the King of Han, he didn't show any complacency, and immediately stood behind the King of Han with his hands down. When Jing Zhe, Gu Yu, and Shuang Jiang made their moves, King Han only looked at the stage, the good drama here ended, and the drama there was about to be staged. One person drifted away like a fallen leaf, arrived on the stage early, and jumped at the person playing the monkey, that person was the autumnal equinox.Autumn Equinox had a relationship with Qiu Changfeng on the Qinhuai River at the beginning, and was very lonely.

He does have the ability to be arrogant, each of the twenty-four sections has its own strengths, and his specialty is killing people.When others rescued King Ning of Han, he was the only one who rushed out first to catch the assassin. King Ning was assassinated, and King Han was in front. If the assassin was not captured, how would they explain to the Holy Majesty on the 24th day? The person pretending to be a monkey pulled the mechanism and let out the crossbow. Before he could leave, he saw a person in front of him. Autumn Equinox is dressed in black, but his eyes are as gray as death. Although the stands are high, the stage is far away, and the rockery is still spraying clouds and mist, Autumn Equinox has arrived at the side of the monkey pretender.

His lightness kung fu is as swift as an autumn bird frightening wild geese.When he got it, his five fingers were as sharp as eagle claws, he suddenly grabbed the man pretending to be a monkey, and shouted: "Stay here." A smile finally appeared on King Han's grim face. The twenty-fourth festival did not disappoint him, and the autumnal equinox did not disappoint him.Although the assassin's attack was launched suddenly, his subordinates always launched the most violent counterattack at the first time. Even if the person playing the monkey is really the 84,000 bronze-headed and iron-fronted macaque king, it seems that he can't escape the deadly eagle claws of the autumn equinox.

The man pretending to be a monkey smiled, his oil painted face was very strange.When the claw came in front of him, he suddenly stomped his foot. The giant python exploded suddenly. The two were originally on top of the giant python, and the giant python exploded, naturally their footing was unstable.Changing to the elbow and armpit, the feet of the autumnal equinox are empty, and it becomes empty when he grabs it, but his reaction is extremely fast, he taps his toes, and rises into the air, he must adopt the posture of a goshawk and a rabbit.No matter how it changes, he believes that the assassin cannot escape his eagle claws. Suddenly, four people flew out from the exploding python's body, pinching the autumnal equinox.And the man pretending to be a monkey let out a long laugh, rolled in the air, and was about to land on the long pole of the stage... The four people who flew out from the body of the python were all holding chi-length short swords and pierced in four directions. The sword glow flashed, and they had already pierced Qiufen's body. The four people were shocked when they succeeded in the move, because they only felt a sword stabbing out, as if they were stabbing in the air. The long clothes burst, and Autumn Equinox let out a sudden roar, and came out with a flash of lightning in his hands. When he landed, the four people in the air paused for a moment, and suddenly split into two. Divide in half from head to belly. Blood gushes out, like autumn maple leaves.Before the autumn cold comes, people are already divided. It turned out that during the lightning flash, Autumn Equinox used the long clothes as a barrier to attract the attention of the four people, but the real body flashed into the air and hacked four times.Cut those four people into two halves. What a ruthless knife, what a fast knife! Autumn Equinox succeeded, but he didn't feel any joy, because he knew that the person pretending to be a monkey was the real mastermind, and the person pretending to be a monkey was about to reach the pole when the four people intercepted Autumn Equinox... As long as the man borrowed the elasticity of the flagpole, he could leave Prince Ning's mansion, no matter how fierce and fast the autumn equinox was, he couldn't do anything to him. This assassination operation was carefully planned, the timing can be said to be just right, and the retreat was naturally arranged properly.After leaving Prince Ning's Mansion, the sea and the sky are naturally open. The sky is wide and the sea is wide, the clouds are rolling and the wind is sparse, but in such a wide sky, there is a person who arrives at the same time as him, and they meet on a narrow road! That person's pale face and deep eyes, like wind and fluff, had already floated in front of the monkey pretender. The monkey pretending to be a cold heart, suddenly found that the plan was not perfect, because he missed one person. Autumn wind! He still underestimated Qiu Changfeng, and Jing Zhe also underestimated Qiu Changfeng.Jing Zhe's punch just sent Qiu Changfeng flying. When Qiu Changfeng flew out of the stands, he didn't stop, just like Qiukong Changfeng arrived on the stage. When facing the man pretending to be a monkey at the autumn equinox, Qiu Changfeng blocked the opponent's way early. The King of Han people were in the stands, when they saw Qiu Changfeng coming out suddenly, they raised their eyebrows and murmured: "What a Qiu Changfeng." In his originally sharp and cold eyes, aggressive ambition suddenly appeared. Qiu Changfeng strikes out! The knife was like a purple lightning startling a rainbow, gathering the light of the sky and the earth, and suddenly slashed across the neck of the man pretending to be a monkey.The timing of this knife was extremely accurate, like an assassin's well-planned blow, every blow was sure to hit. Heads fly up. Qiu Changfeng's heart sank. The King of Han raised his eyebrows, and a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes. What happened in front of him made the King of Han, who had experienced many battles, unable to adapt for a while. Everyone couldn't believe the situation in front of them. The headless man pretending to be a monkey didn't die, but flipped in the air and kicked himself on the head.The monkey head shot towards Qiu Changfeng with oil paint, horror and even very weirdness. This kind of weird situation makes people see it under the blue sky and broad daylight, and they also feel ghostly in their hearts.Could it be said that this person pretending to be a monkey is really some 84,000 bronze-headed and iron-fronted macaque kings, with great supernatural powers, infinite changes, and even his head is gone, but he can still live? Some were timid, and even peed out of fear. The autumn equinox was not afraid, he shot four people, and finally rushed over.Even if the person pretending to be a monkey is a ghost, he has to make up for it so that even ghosts who pretend to be a monkey can't do it. Qiu Changfeng's eyes flashed, then he fell down suddenly, and shouted: "Flash!" As soon as he landed, he rolled out in a row. The monkey's head touched the flagpole, only to hear a loud bang, filled with smoke and dust. Although the autumn equinox was prompted by the autumn wind, he was still hit by the heat wave, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, almost spurting out.It turned out that the monkey head had hidden strong explosives, once triggered, it would explode. The stage was torn apart, and the smoke and dust rose high. After the smoke cleared, the monkey man and Qiu Changfeng were nowhere to be found.Only a group of spectators sat in the stands dumbfounded, not even knowing what happened just now. Qiu Changfeng knew. He knew that the assassin was going to kill King Ning, he knew that at least five assassins had infiltrated, and he knew that the assassin with the best martial arts was the one who pretended to be a monkey.That man actually escaped with his life by using the ninjutsu of stealing the beam, which is rare in Dongying, when he drew the sword! The assassin turned out to be a ninja. The monkey head that was cut off by Qiu Changfeng just now is not the real head of the man, but a common trick used by ninjas.This kind of trick was originally passed from the Western Regions, and then it became one of ninjutsu when it was passed to Japan, but the fake head was filled with extremely violent gunpowder, which can be said to be a very powerful killing move. Such as Yaoxiu heaven and earth, Tibet shaking mountains and rivers, Koga flowing Fengshui, Iga fire liying! The Tibetan tribe is good at the method of earth escape, but the Iga family is good at making gunpowder. The explosives are so strong, could it be said that the assassin is a master of the Iga tribe. These ninjas linger, from Putuo to Qingtian, Nanjing, from the Putuo murder case to the robbery of "Song of the Sun and Moon", until now assassinating King Ning, they can be seen everywhere, why did they come?Why did they come to kill King Ning? When Qiu Changfeng was thinking, he left the palace early and rushed to the alley to find the whereabouts of the assassin.But looking up, there was no sign of the assassin. Suddenly, a blue shadow flashed past Qiu Changfeng. Qiu Changfeng grabbed the man's sleeve and shouted: "You..." Before he could speak, a flash of lightning flashed in the air, Qiu Changfeng immediately let go and backed away, feeling the coldness of Qingfeng piercing his bones. A sword slashed down, almost grazing his wrist. If Qiu Changfeng hadn't withdrawn his hand fast enough, he would have almost been chopped off by that sword. The blue shadow was slashed with a sword, and before continuing to move forward, Qiu Changfeng suddenly said: "The assassin is a master of the ninja Igabe." He had already recognized that the blue shadow was Ye Yuhe. Ye Yuhe finally stopped, and said indifferently: "So what?" When the assassin attacked King Ning just now, her first thought was to save King Ning. Seeing Gu Yu's attack and seeing the princess being guarded by Wei Tieyi, she immediately turned to capture the assassin . The incident happened suddenly, everyone in the stands had their own goals and responsibilities, only Ye Yuhe's goal wavered.Fortunately, she hesitated for a moment, otherwise she rushed to the stage, fearing that she would be affected by the explosives.She took a step back, seeing that the explosives were so sharp, she couldn't help being startled. After all, Ye Yuhe was a headhunter, and immediately judged that this was an assassin's trick to escape from the mansion, and immediately jumped out of the high wall.In a blink of an eye, he saw a figure flickering in the distance. Before he could chase after him, he was stopped by Qiu Changfeng. When he turned his head to look again, the assassin had long since disappeared. Qiu Changfeng looked at Ye Yuhe, with hidden concerns in his eyes, and he could still say calmly: "Even if you chase after him, you should be careful." Ye Yuhe looked into the distance, and said indifferently: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person. You stopped me from chasing the assassin. Could it be that you want to chase the assassin and ask for credit?" She finally put the sword back into its sheath, but the cold light in her eyes seemed to be colder than the sword's edge . She walked forward quickly, obviously not giving up the idea of ​​tracking down the assassin. Qiu Changfeng followed closely behind her and said, "Ye...Captain, I haven't thanked you for saving me the night before." Ye Yuhe's eyes shifted, and he sneered, "Didn't you tell the princess that you forgot everything?" Qiu Changfeng's eyes were full of disappointment, and he said as if pointing out: "There are some things that I will never forget." Ye Yuhe suddenly stopped, and said coldly: "Qiu Changfeng, I saved you only because I thought you didn't deserve to die. But you are you, I am me, we have nothing to do with each other at all, I don't want to see you again, and I don't want you to remember. It's best to save your gossip and gossip on the Qinhuai River." She turned around and walked away, listening to Qiu Changfeng saying behind her: "Ye Butou, in fact, the Qinhuai River is not what you think." Ye Yuhe said coldly: "What am I thinking?" Qiu Changfeng choked and didn't know how to explain it for a while.It's not that he doesn't know that this kind of thing is getting darker and darker. He has always been calm and composed, but in front of Ye Yuhe, he always seems to be less calm and more melancholy and bewildered. Pausing for a while, seeing Ye Yuhe walking away, Qiu Changfeng finally raised his voice, "You seem to have a prejudice against Jin Yiwei? In fact, Jin Yiwei has many difficulties in doing things..." Ye Yuhe suddenly held the hilt of the sword in his hand, stopped and turned around, his beautiful eyes were mixed with anger, "Well, tell me, Xie Jin was killed, what are your difficulties?" Qiu Changfeng was slightly stunned. Before he could answer, Ye Yuhe sneered and said, "Can't you answer?" Qiu Changfeng smiled bitterly, and murmured: "Actually, there is something inside." He spoke so softly that even Ye Yuhe didn't hear him. Seeing Ye Yuhe go away, he looked up at the sky. The sky is blue, blue as the sea, as high and deep as a lonely heart. Surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he chased after him and shouted, "Wait..." With a clanging sound, Ye Yuhe drew his sword and pointed it at Qiu Changfeng's throat. The long street was silent, and the sword light chilled the killing, urging a few flowers to fall, and the bonus was like blood. At that moment, her expression was colder than ice, and her face was whiter than snow.Huaqing's watery eyes carried an unapproachable coldness, "Don't follow me anymore!" The long sword reflected Qiu Changfeng's pale face. His face was bitter, but he took a step back and nodded. In those eyes that were originally as deep as the sea, there seemed to be a bit of loss. But in a blink of an eye, Qiu Changfeng ignored Ye Yuhe, jumped up, and suddenly climbed onto the tall tree beside him, and then jumped up to the eaves beside the tree.After he reached the eaves, he reached out and picked up a costume from the eaves. When he just looked up, under the sunlight, he saw that the ridge of the roof was shiny and different, so he couldn't help but come over to check.Looking at the costume, Qiu Changfeng's face suddenly became serious. "This is the monkey king's clothes." Ye Yuhe said. Qiu Changfeng knew that Ye Yuhe had followed him, so he wasn't surprised, but he didn't bicker, he just said: "The monkey king failed to assassinate King Ning, and was eager to escape, but the costume on his body was obviously too dazzling." Ye Yuhe looked from the side, only saw that pale face, which was full of concentrated thinking, moved slightly in his heart, nodded and said: "So he walks from the eaves to avoid people's eyes and eyes, and takes off his costume, and he will become an ordinary woman." man. He doesn't have to run away." Qiu Changfeng nodded and said, "You're right, he doesn't need to run away, maybe he's by our side." But he thought in his heart, before the assassin made his move, the King of Han also mentioned the Golden Dragon Art, how could the King of Han know about the Golden Dragon? Trick? Originally thought that "Song of the Sun and Moon" was extremely mysterious, and only the master and the princess knew about these things, but Qiu Changfeng suddenly discovered that there were many connections in it that he hadn't discovered. Could it be that the master sent him to Prince Ning's mansion just to explore these relationships?What is the master's plan?The assassin wanted to kill King Ning, what was it for? When he thought about these entanglements, he felt that arresting the murderer was a trivial matter, but Ye Yuhe's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly stretched out and fell from the eaves. Ye Yuhe fell only because she heard a shattering sound, like the sound of an earthen jar falling to the ground, and then she heard a hoarse voice: "You... come out!" There was an indescribable tension in that voice meaning. Ye Yuhe was concerned about the assassin, and immediately thought that the costume was here. Could it be that the assassin took off the costume and hid in this courtyard?The courtyard is not small, but it is dilapidated. It seems that there are not many people living in it. Isn't it an excellent hiding place for assassins? She wanted to do it. When the person fell from the eaves, she saw a person in the courtyard, facing a corner of the courtyard, bowing slightly. Without looking, she felt that the person was very nervous. The corner of the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Could it be that there was an assassin hiding, which made the man nervous? When Ye Yuhe thought of this, she drew her sword in the air. The sword was like lightning, with the splendor of the setting sun in the afternoon. Ye Yuhe barely landed on the ground, and heard two roars, and two gray shadows rushed towards her, one left and one right.Ye Yuhe's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw that there were two people rushing towards her. Those two rushed forward like wolves. Although their hands had no sharp blades, they struck from left to right with palms and fists, wishing to kill Ye Yuhe on the spot. Could this be a trap, a trap to lure Qiu Changfeng and Ye Yuhe into it?Otherwise, how could Ye Yuhe be attacked so fiercely just after falling down. Those two people can open mountains with their fists, and crack monuments with their palms. If their fists and palms hit Ye Yuhe's body, I'm afraid that her muscles and bones will be broken. In a flash of lightning, Ye Yuhe drew out his sword, and stabbed the ground with one strike. Her move was extremely weird, the two couldn't help being surprised when they saw it, but they kept punching and palming, but before the fists and palms arrived, there was no trace of Yi Ren. When the sword hit the ground, the blade bent and then stretched out.Ye Yuhe stabbed, bent and added a bullet, and before landing, she was like a swallow, passed over the heads of the two people, arrived at the side of the man in the corner of the courtyard, and drew out her sword. The sword points to the throat. Ye Yuhe didn't stab, because when she saw the man's back, she felt that something was wrong, and when she saw the man's face, she knew that he was definitely not a ninja, let alone a monkey. This man is more like a pig. Pigs are not as fat as that man. At least Ye Yuhe had never seen such a fat pig. Although the man was not short in stature, he was like a ball, with a fat head and big ears, and a shiny face.No matter who can see it at a glance, it is real fat. That person can't pretend to be a monkey at all, and he is almost as good as Zhu Bajie. However, the fat man's hair is half black and half white, and he looks a little old. Ye Yuhe's original intention was not the fat man, but the corner of the courtyard, so she restrained the fat man with a sword, and said coldly: "Don't make a move. Who do you let come out?" The fat man discovered the long sword in front of his neck, his face suddenly showed horror, and he shouted: "Don't..." He threw himself forward and rushed forward. Ye Yuhe was startled instead, and hastily withdrew her sword.Although she was ruthless to ninjas on the boat, she was a headhunter after all. Without evidence, how could she easily kill someone? The man seemed not to know that a long sword could kill someone. When he fell down, his hands went to catch Ye Yuhe's right foot. This move was beyond Ye Yuhe's expectation. In an instant, she even felt cheated. Could it be that the fat man is a hidden master, pretending to be confused, even pretending not to know martial arts, and trying to plot against her when she draws his sword? Ye Yuhe didn't even think about it, kicked it out, and at the same time, he flew backwards, with the long sword in front of his chest. With a loud bang, Ye Yuhe kicked the man in the face.The fat man let out a muffled snort. Although he weighed several hundred catties, he was kicked down by Ye Yuhe, and the corners of his eyes were immediately bruised. Ye Yuhe was kicked, but was stunned.She suddenly discovered that that man really doesn't know martial arts, not at all! The fat man fell on his back, and the two gray shadows finally arrived. Seeing this, they did not chase after Ye Yuhe, but stood by the fat man's side, shouting, "Who are you?" The eyes of those two people were cold, one tall and the other short. They looked like they wanted to tear Ye Yuhe into four pieces. Seeing the cold eyes, Ye Yuhe couldn't help but feel cold, "Who are you? Where is the hidden person?" Suddenly, I saw Qiu Changfeng standing behind everyone.Ye Yuhe was slightly happy, and said to Qiu Changfeng: "You deal with these three people, I will search!" She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she just wanted to hand over the mess to Qiu Changfeng.But looking at the corner of the courtyard, only green weeds can be seen. Where is the trace of the ninja? The two guards who guarded the fat man realized that there was someone behind them, their expressions changed drastically, and they suddenly turned around to look. Qiu Changfeng smiled slightly and said: "Ye Butou, I can't deal with these three people, I'd better leave it to you." Ye Yuhe was slightly stunned, and said angrily: "You can't deal with these three trash, what else can you do?" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly saw the strangeness on Qiu Changfeng's face, and was startled in his heart. The two guards finally said angrily: "Who are you to send an assassin, you dare to be unreasonable to the prince!" Ye Yuhe was stunned, and didn't realize what those two people meant for a while.Prince?What prince?Seeing Qiu Changfeng cupping his fists and saluting, "Jinyiwei Qianhu Qiu Changfeng has seen the prince." Ye Yuhe's head thumped, and she almost fainted. Which prince?Isn't there only one prince in the next day? Prince Zhu Gaochi! This man who was as fat as a pig was kidnapped by her with a sword, kicked in the face, and the person who called him a waste was the prince Zhu Gaochi? How is this possible?How could the prince run into this abandoned garden? But Qiu Changfeng is definitely not a random person, he will never use the prince as a joke.Thinking of this, Ye Yuhe's hand holding the sword trembled a little. The fat man covered half of his face and hissed on the ground, unable to get up for a while, seeing Qiu Changfeng salute, he said with pain: "Qiu Changfeng? I know you." Qiu Changfeng was a little surprised. He had seen the prince Zhu Gaochi, but he didn't expect the prince to know him.Reaching out to help the prince, the two subordinates stood in front of Qiu Changfeng intentionally or unintentionally, and pulled the prince up first. The prince is really too fat, although those two people are not bad at martial arts, but it is very difficult to pull the prince up. The prince finally stood up, covered his face, without majesty or politeness, suddenly let out a strange cry, turned around and walked forward a few steps. Ye Yuhe couldn't help but backed away, she was just Dinghai's captor, and she dared to kick the prince in the face, so what? The crown prince didn't look at Ye Yuhe, but fell to the ground again. Those two subordinates looked a little green, and said anxiously: "Prince, just come and look for it." While speaking, something was stuck to the prince's right hand, his face was full of grief, and he screamed: "Lang Kang, you can't just go like this." Although Ye Yuhe was timid, she couldn't help but look closely, only to see that the prince was holding a cricket in his hand. The cricket was not small, but unfortunately it was flat and died long ago. Ye Yuhe saw the prince looking at her in grief and indignation, and suddenly realized something. Could it be that she trampled to death the cricket when she was leaping? The prince went to pull her foot in spite of his life, could it be to save the cricket? Ye Yuhe thought it was funny, but couldn't laugh.She knew that some people liked to fight crickets, and would even spend a lot of money and lose their entire family for a cricket. Seeing the prince's expression, they even regarded the cricket as a friend and brother, but this cricket was trampled to death by her foot. Ye Yuhe's mouth was bitter, and he felt as if he had become that cricket too. The prince's grief-stricken expression gradually became colder, looking at Ye Yuhe as if he was looking at killing his father and enemy, he asked, "Qiaoqianhu, this guy kicked me and trampled my wolf to death, what is the reason?" Qiu Changfeng said: "His Royal Highness, this is Ye Yuhe, the top arrester in Zhejiang. He was in charge of Dinghai's murder case, and later he was with the princess. She chased the assassin here just now. I thought she was a cautious person and didn't want to be so rash. , think you are an assassin. If you want to be punished, you can punish her, she has nothing to do with our Jinyiwei." Seeing Qiu Changfeng's eagerness to get rid of the relationship, Ye Yuhe sneered secretly.Seeing the prince looking over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, it's just a cricket. I'll find one to compensate you." The two subordinates shouted together: "This wolf resistance is worth thousands of gold, can you afford it? You dare to beat the prince, what should you do?" Ye Yuhe's heart sank and she was speechless. The prince looked at Ye Yuhe, his swollen face was full of coldness, and said slowly: "If you want to pay, there is only one way." Seeing the prince's expression, Ye Yuhe's whole body turned cold, and she could still ask stubbornly, "What can I do?" She was originally a stubborn and fair person, and indifference was just her way of protecting herself.She knew she was wrong, so she wouldn't run away. The prince looked at Ye Yuhe for a long time, and suddenly said: "If you want to compensate me, just have a cup of tea with me. A friend comes from afar, how can I not even have a cup of tea?" Ye Yuhe couldn't help being stunned, with an expression of disbelief. The prince finally showed his face and smiled: "Ye Yuhe, I have heard your name before. I heard Yunmeng said that your martial arts are very good. When I saw you today, it is really amazing. You can kick a fat person like me down. What a guy , one foot must not have a strength of several hundred catties. Good skill." The prince gave a thumbs up, with a look of sincere admiration, as if Ye Yuhe kicked someone else just now. Ye Yuhe was stunned, suddenly moved in her heart, she never thought that the prince was such a person.She finally understood why every time Yunmeng mentioned the prince, she always sympathized with admiration. The tall guard shouted: "The prince is magnanimous, he will not blame you for the past, and he will not thank you." Ye Yuhe waited to step forward to thank him, the prince shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Thank you, those who don't know are not guilty." Looking at the cricket in his hand, there was a look of regret and sadness in his eyes. The dwarf guarding the prince said: "Prince, this wolf resists..." Qiu Changfeng kept watching, and said, "Is this Langkang really worth a thousand gold?" The dwarf guard seemed a little wary of Qiu Changfeng, and sneered, "Is this still fake?" Qiu Changfeng said indifferently: "The Son of Heaven values ​​honesty and thrift. If he knew that the Crown Prince spent thousands of dollars to buy a cricket, what would he think?" The faces of the prince and the two guards became extremely ugly, and the tall guard shouted: "Qiu Changfeng, are you threatening the prince?" Seeing this, the prince quickly smiled and said: "Guard Pei, don't do this." Taking a step forward, his fat face almost touched Qiu Changfeng's, "Qiaoqianhu, this wolf resistance actually only cost a few hundred taels of silver, no It's worth so much money. This money... I saved it for a few months. Please take care of it, don't talk about it to the Holy Majesty." Qiu Changfeng's face was serious, "If the Holy Majesty asks, how can I not say it?" The prince had a bitter face, and had a headache for a while. Seeing this, the two guards couldn't help glaring at Qiu Changfeng.Ye Yuhe was originally apologetic to the prince, but he couldn't get used to Qiu Changfeng's face of doing nothing, so he said: "Qiu Changfeng, this is just a trivial matter, why do you Jinyi guards target the prince every time?" Ye Yuhe has followed Yunmeng for a long time, so she naturally knows the relationship between the crown prince, Hanwang, the cabinet, and Jinyiwei.She also knew that Jin Yiwei had always been optimistic about the King of Han, and seeing Qiu Changfeng like this, he felt angry. Qiu Changfeng frowned, and said solemnly: "This is not a trivial matter. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Today, there are countless poor people who can't eat enough, and the prince spends hundreds of taels of silver on it." Buying crickets for fun, wouldn't it be heartbreaking if someone found out about it?" Ye Yuhe froze, and said angrily: "I won't reason with you, you still owe me your life, don't you? If you still know how to repay your kindness, then don't tell your majesty about it." The prince showed gratitude, but he still took a step forward, rubbed his hands together and said, "Ye Butou, no need, this was originally my fault." His originally funny face suddenly showed a serious expression. Seeing Ye Yuhe, she was even more angrily, and said, "Although there is a problem, Qiu Changfeng is making a fuss over a molehill..." Qiu Changfeng looked at Ye Yuhe, and suddenly cut off: "I owe you my life. If you ask me to pay it back, you can take my life. But it is the responsibility of Jin Yiwei to truthfully report what he saw to the Holy One, so what? Is it a fuss?" Seeing this, Ye Yuhe was taken aback.When she saw Qiu Changfeng several times, she felt different.When she was in Qingshou Temple and Qingtian, she saw Qiu Changfeng's wit and composure, and felt that he was different from other Jinyiwei after all; seeing him pretending to be confused in the inn, she felt that he was elusive; The indifference towards the beggar made her feel that this man would not be able to escape his dandyism after all; but seeing him so awe-inspiring and persistent at this moment, she suddenly noticed Qiu Changfeng's unreasonable and strange face. How many faces Qiu Changfeng has, Ye Yuhe is really elusive, but at that moment, she only felt that he was still Jin Yiwei. Perhaps Qiu Changfeng had always been Jin Yiwei, but she just ignored this fact. When he was at a loss, the prince stepped forward and said bitterly: "Qiaoqianhu is right..." Before the words finished, footsteps suddenly sounded hurriedly in the front yard. But it was Princess Yunmeng and Wei Tieyi, who couldn't help being surprised and delighted and said, "Yunmeng, why are you here when you are free?" Yunmeng rushed over and was surprised to see Ye Yuhe and Qiu Changfeng here, but she didn't bother to ask, panting: "Brother, quickly enter the palace with me!" The prince frowned and said, "Entering the palace? What are you doing in the palace?" Princess Yunmeng stomped her feet anxiously and said: "Go to the palace to meet the emperor, the second brother is here to arrest you." The prince's expression changed, and the two guards also turned pale in shock, and they lost their voices: "What? How could the king of Han come to arrest the prince?" Princess Yunmeng didn't have time to say more, she grabbed the prince and said: "I don't have time to explain..." She wanted to drag the prince forward, but how could she drag him, she stomped her foot and said: "Hurry up, let's talk while walking. " The prince calmed down, shook his head and said, "Yunmeng, don't worry, I have a clear conscience, don't panic. Second brother won't do me any harm." Princess Yunmeng anxiously said: "What do you know..." Before she finished speaking, an unknown number of people rushed in from the front yard and surrounded them. Everyone who came looked indifferent, full of murderous aura. When everyone looked at it, their faces changed, and they recognized Tiance Guard's soldiers. The King of Han came out more and more, wearing black clothes slowly, with an unruly expression on his face, and said calmly: "Yunmeng, where are you taking the prince?" Prince." Seeing the King of Han, the prince was a little embarrassed, and replied: "Second brother, you don't need to be too polite." Looking at the soldiers and guards who were at war with swords, he asked in puzzlement, "Second brother is like this, why did you come here?" The dialogue between the two was extremely polite, but it lacked the emotion that brothers should have. The King of Han said slowly: "King Ning's birthday is today, and he said that the crown prince is sick today, so it is inconvenient to go to celebrate his birthday. Now it seems that the crown prince's body does not look sick." The prince smiled wryly and pointed at the bruise on his face, "I'm like this, how can I go out to meet people?" Qiu Changfeng suddenly said: "The prince's face is bruised and swollen, it's an injury he suffered just now, it should have nothing to do with not going to pay a visit to King Ning." The prince was a little embarrassed, Ye Yuhe was dissatisfied, and gave Qiu Changfeng a look, Qiu Changfeng just smiled. The King of Han glanced at Qiu Changfeng, signaled his approval, and said indifferently for a moment: "His Royal Highness, I wonder if what Qiu Qianhu said is true?" The prince looked at Qiu Changfeng and could only sigh, "It's true." The king of Han smiled mockingly, "Then why didn't the prince go to King Ning's birthday banquet?" The prince hesitated, and Princess Yunmeng dissatisfied: "Second brother, elder brother's gift has arrived, it's not a big deal if you don't go to celebrate his birthday, you ask like this, are you interrogating the prisoner?" Of course she knew why the elder brother didn't go, and the prince didn't go to Prince Ning's mansion. I am afraid that the King of Han will also go.Where the king of Han goes, the prince usually does not go. The King of Han laughed and said, "Actually, I know the reason why the crown prince doesn't go." The prince was slightly startled, and said in a stuttering voice, "You know." The King of Han's gaze was like a knife's edge, nailing the prince's face, and said slowly: "The prince must know that there will be a vicious fight in Prince Ning's residence, and he just wants to stay out of it, so he won't go." The prince laughed and said: "Who dares to fight in Prince Ning's Mansion?" Seeing the expressions of the people, the Prince's smile froze, and he asked in surprise, "Is something happening in Prince Ning's Mansion?" "You said just now that you were looking for an assassin. Could it be that an assassin came out of Prince Ning's Mansion?" Qiu Changfeng nodded, and said slowly: "That's right, there is an assassin in Prince Ning's residence who wants to assassinate King Ning. And the assassin is in the troupe invited by the prince." The prince's face was pale, and he finally understood the seriousness of the situation. Ye Yuhe also had a look of astonishment, trying to understand something.An assassin came out of King Ning's mansion to kill King Ning, and the assassin was in the theater troupe invited by the prince.Could it be that it was the prince who wanted to assassinate King Ning? The crown prince knew something was going on in Prince Ning's mansion, so he excused his illness and stayed out of it? Could it be that this obese, dull and seemingly clumsy prince is the mastermind behind the assassination of King Ning? !
