Most of the shadow guards who went out to track down Ning Yujin's group came back, and almost all of them were covered in glory.
Ning Yujin was resting now, and Murong Xuan didn't dare to ask anyone to invite her. He took care of the seriously injured ones, and left medicine for the lightly injured ones, leaving them to do it themselves.
Mo Jingxiao was sitting on the Grand Master's chair beside him. His figure was tall and straight, handsome and graceful. His body made his black robe look sharp and angular.
The handsome eyebrows were pressed down, the phoenix eyes were slightly condensed, and after scanning a group of shadow guards, he lowered his eyes slightly, his expression as calm as an ancient pond, without any ripples.
While Murong Xuan was cleaning the wounds of a shadow guard, he frowned and asked him: "What's going on? How did you get into such a mess?"
The shadow guard endured the pain and said: "After we separated from you, we followed those people all the way back to the city. We were about to push them to a dead end, but they suddenly threw thunderbolts and there was a flash of fire.
, everyone disappeared! We were unable to dodge, and many people were injured. Those who were not injured immediately scattered and searched everywhere. But before we came over, there was no considerable progress."
"Thunderbolt?" Murong Xuan raised his head and looked at Mo Jingxiao, his eyes darkened, "It seems that they are indeed from Dong Qi. I didn't expect them to target the third lady so quickly."
Mo Jingxiao's stern eyes glanced at the shadow guard who spoke: "You said, you followed them back to the city?"
The shadow guard nodded heavily: "We were also surprised when we chased them. But it's true that after we circled around, we came back."
Murong Xuan took out the iron piece from the shadow guard's arm, applied medicine to him quickly, and wrapped a bandage on him: "So, Qi Yunqian is really hiding in Shengjing City. But he is also too hidden.
It’s so deep, we’ve been looking for it for so long, but there’s no whereabouts at all.”
Mo Jingxiao leaned back in his chair, stretched out his hand to knock on the edge of the table, and the lines on his face suddenly became sharp: "Maybe it's not that he is hiding deeply, but that he is pretending to be the person we are least likely to suspect."
"The person who is least likely to be suspicious?" The shadow guard raised his head and asked timidly, "For example, the gentleman and the third lady, are they also Qi Yunqian pretending to be?"
Murong Xuan's movement of wrapping the bandage suddenly made the shadow guard scream out in pain.
Murong Xuan sneered suspiciously: "I now suspect that you are Qi Yunqian pretending to be you. Do you want to try Zero One and Zero Two's methods of interrogating people?"
The shadow guard gritted his teeth and endured the pain, not daring to answer the question any more.
Murong Xuan then looked at Mo Jingxiao again: "Is there anyone you suspect?"
"Yes, there is..." Mo Jingxiao frowned slightly, then relaxed, "But it's just a feeling. Maybe, I'm just overthinking it."
He did not say who he suspected, and Murong Xuan tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.
He withdrew his gaze and wrapped the last piece of gauze around the shadow guard: "That's all. Remember not to touch the water."
"Thank you, sir."
The bandaged shadow guard immediately stood up and went out. Murong Xuan sat down under Mo Jingxiao, took a cup of tea and took a sip, saying: "Qi Yunqian has been away from Dong Qi for a while, and the court over there is unrest.
, several princes seize power wantonly, but he is lurking here silently, and he has not revealed his purpose until now. He is really calm."
But this is the scariest thing.
Before a storm comes, there will be a period of terrible calm. Everyone has a premonition of what will happen, but they have no premonition of what will happen.
The more this happens, the more uneasy it becomes.
Mo Jingxiao slowly closed his eyes and said in an unhurried voice: "Zizhan, is there anything unusual at Prince Jingyang's Mansion?"
Murong Xuan shook his head: "Since the last time the villagers in the valley were discovered, there has been no movement in the Jingyang Palace. Tell me, has the Queen Mother intervened in this matter?"
King Jingyang is the elder brother of the Queen Mother Yin. Although the last time the villagers in the valley were poisoned, they were extremely cautious, but they were still able to trace his head through clues.
After all, not many people know about the existence of Tianji Pavilion and have the opportunity to get the "abandoned son" of Tianji Pavilion.
Since Queen Mother Yin abandoned those people, she would naturally not use them again.
Prince Xing's palace was not deep and he indulged in pleasure. He wished he could rely on the care of Queen Mother Yin and become a leisurely prince who didn't care about anything but enjoyed a generous salary and title. He didn't have the ability to make such a rigorous and generous move.
Then after counting, it will be King Jingyang’s turn.
King Jingyang also followed the late emperor to conquer the country immediately. At that time, there were so many meritorious officials and famous generals who were granted marquisships and titles, but he was the only one who was granted the title of king with a different surname, which shows that he had great military achievements.
However, after conferring the title of Prince of the County, he also withdrew the military power. He has been staying in Shengjing for so many years and has not seen any changes.
When they found the head of King Jingyang, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
When Mo Jingxiao heard Murong Xuan's question, his squinted eyes suddenly opened, and a light suddenly flashed inside: "What Empress Dowager Yin wants to do is secretly seize military power, peacefully force the palace, and help Mo Xing ascend to power without any blood. Like this.
She will never do anything that is likely to cause turmoil in the country and allow foreign enemies to take advantage of it."
"Then the experiment on the villagers was made by King Jingyang on his own initiative? Could it be possible that he also wanted to..." Murong Xuan was taken aback, and then shook his head, "It's unlikely. He doesn't have military power. He wants to
Even if the sky is turned upside down, it cannot be overturned."
Mo Jingxiao's voice ignored Yue Feishuang: "It's just because we don't have military power that we find another way."
Find another way?
Murong Xuan was a person who moved his head very quickly. He immediately slapped the table and stood up, saying in shock: "The 'abandoned son' of Tianji Pavilion, Lan Yan of Dong Qi, and King Jingyang, could it be that he secretly hooked up with Qi Yunqian?
!”
There are many things that cannot be thought about in detail. The more you think about them, the more terrifying they become.
At the beginning, they had been wondering whether the people in Dong Qi were responsible for the poisoning of the villagers, or whether there was someone inside Daye who was planning something evil. But now, it seems that something is gradually becoming clear.
After finding out King Jingyang and pulling out Qi Yunqian, they saw that the city of Shengjing was calm and peaceful, but there were already turbulent waves inside.
Now, without definite fatal evidence, King Jingyang cannot move.
Regardless of whether the Queen Mother Yin is involved in this matter, she will never sit idly by for the sake of the wealth of the Yin family. If they really have to confront her when the time comes, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable.
Next, if we act rashly, I'm afraid Qi Yunqian will rush back to Dong Qi, and it won't be that simple to capture him then.
The wind and dew on the cold night were heavy, and the cold frost seemed to invade the stoic face, giving it a slight coldness.
Mo Jingxiao curled his fingers into a fist and banged on the table: "We must find Qi Yunqian as soon as possible!"
