The dim moonlight shines in from outside the house.
Lan Xiangyu suddenly said: "That man is on par with my beloved. He must not be an ordinary person. Can you judge his identity based on his martial arts?"
Qin Lingsi's eyes lit up and she said: "Yes, judging from his martial arts skills, he is good at the high fist of the Huguang people, but he knows nothing about wrestling. He can't be a Mongolian!"
Polo Buhua hurriedly said: "But this sword is indeed She Shier!"
Lan Xiangyu glanced at him and said, "How long have you two been away from Yuanting?"
Polo Buhua said hurriedly: "I have it for more than two years!"
Yahansha also said quickly: "I am also more than a year old!"
Lan Xiangyu said: "Since you have been away from the Yuan court for a long time, how do you know the current situation of the sword? Maybe the Tatar emperor gave it to a general, but the general was killed and the sword fell into the hands of a certain rebel army.
!"
Polo Buhua was speechless.
Qin Ling thought for a while and said: "Apart from the assassin, there is another person who is very suspicious in this matter!"
Lan Xiangyu asked: "Who?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang!"
Lan Xiangyu was stunned and said: "What's wrong with him?"
Qin Lingsi snorted and said: "This person does not return to Huizhou, but he has been staying in our Jiangdu Mansion and always comes to the Red Mansion. Isn't this suspicious?"
Bo Luo Buhua smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing suspicious. I heard that he was born as a beggar and has no knowledge. He must have been fascinated by the colorful world of our Jiangdu Prefecture, so he is happy to miss Shu!"
Qin Lingsi glared at him and said, "Do you think all men in the world are like you?"
He turned to Nie Hongniang and said, "Master Nie, has Zhu Yuanzhang been coming to the Red Mansion every day recently?"
Nie rushed to say: "Yes, Marshal Zhu not only comes here often, but he is also very punctual. He comes in mid-Xu every time!"
Qin Lingsi's eyes lit up and she said, "You said he always does it in the middle of Xu Shi?"
"Yes!"
"How many followers did you bring?"
"Only three people were brought!"
Qin Lingsi sneered: "No wonder he escaped quietly, I finally understand!"
Polo quickly asked: "Owner, what do you understand?"
Qin Lingsi said decisively: "Zhu Yuanzhang knew that someone wanted to assassinate him!"
Lan Xiangyu was surprised and said: "He knows?"
Qin Lingsi walked to a chair and sat down, saying with a cold face: "Not only did he know, but he also deliberately created opportunities for the other party to assassinate him!"
Polo Buhua said in shock: "Is he crazy?"
Qin Lingsi glanced at him and said: "Of course he is not crazy! Think about it carefully, if Zhu Yuanzhang is really assassinated, who is the person with the biggest suspicion?"
Polo Buhua said: "Tou Huan?"
Lan Xiangyu said: "Zhao Junyong?"
Qin Lingsi was both angry and funny at the same time, and said: "Nothing is right, the people who have the biggest quarrel are us!"
One of the guards said: "How is this possible? Do we need to assassinate him if we want to kill him?"
Qin Lingsi snorted and said, "No one else would think that! Zhu Yuanzhang was assassinated in our territory, so naturally he would be most easily associated with us!"
"If we send troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang again, people all over the world will be more convinced, thinking that my brother-in-law deliberately invited Zhu Yuanzhang here just to assassinate him and occupy his territory!"
Lan Xiangyu frowned and said: "This makes no sense!"
Qin Lingsi sneered: "Zhu Yuanzhang just wants to use this method to delay my brother-in-law's attack on him!"
Boluo Buhua smiled sinisterly and said: "He is so fanciful! Even if this kid is really stabbed, the king does not need to care about what the common people think, he can just use troops!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Lingsi glaring over and quickly closed her mouth.
Lan Xiangyu suddenly said: "Since this is Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, is it possible that the assassin just now was also someone sent by him, deliberately playing a bitter trick?"
Qin Ling thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably not."
Lan Xiangyu wondered: "Why?"
Qin Ling thought: "If it is really the people he sent, there is no need for him to choose to come here in the middle of Xu Shi every time."
Polo Buhua and Yahansha looked at each other and said, "Is there any connection between this?"
Qin Lingsi snorted: "If he really belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang, he can assassinate him whenever he wants. There is no need to choose a fixed time to go to the Red Mansion and let others know!"
Lan Xiangyu suddenly said: "I understand, Zhu Yuanzhang chose a fixed time because the assassin could not know when he would go to the Red Mansion, so he deliberately created such an opportunity to facilitate the assassin to assassinate him!"
Qin Lingsi nodded.
Lan Xiangyu guessed: "Since it's not Zhu Yuanzhang, it must be someone from other rebels. Could it be Zhao Junyong?"
Qin Lingsi shook her head: "It can't be Zhao Junyong, he doesn't have such good players!"
Lan Xiangyu said: "Then there are only two possibilities, either Liu Futong's people or Chen Youliang's people!"
Qin Lingsi suddenly said: "Sister Lan, do you still remember Po-Tou Pan?"
Lan Xiangyu gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I remember!"
Qin Ling thought: "He said that Liu Futong has ten great generals, and the number one among them is Guan Duo. Do you think that person is Guan Duo?"
Lan Xiangyu thought for a while and said: "I'm not sure either, our siblings have never seen Guan Duo!"
Suddenly I heard a voice coming from outside the door.
"That person is definitely not Guan Duo!"
Following the words, Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu walked in together, and it was Chang Yuchun who spoke.
Qin Lingsi asked hurriedly: "Have you caught that person?"
Chang Yuchun sighed and said: "Let him escape!"
Qin Lingsi said anxiously: "He was injured by me, you can find him by looking for blood stains!"
Lan Yu muttered: "We were just looking for traces of blood, but who would have thought that if we chased all the way, we would end up chasing an ordinary vendor!"
Lan Xiangyu was stunned: "How could this happen?"
Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice: "That man is extremely cunning. He injured a hawker near the canal and threatened the man to run north. We followed the blood trail, so we only found that hawker."
Qin Lingsi frowned and said, "That's not right. Even if he injured one person and forced that person to escape, his own blood stains could not be covered up. There should be two blood stains!"
Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice: "He did it near the canal. I guess he jumped into the canal after hurting someone!"
Lan Yu followed: "We later returned to the canal and found blood stains on the eaves of the canal. He must have jumped into the canal!"
Polo Buhua said hurriedly: "We can mobilize troops to search along the channels!"
Chang Yuchun glanced at him, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid he has already landed through a certain channel, and it's too late!"
Lan Xiangyu said in confusion: "Is it possible to let him escape like this?"
Qin Lingsi clenched her fingers and suddenly said: "General Chang, you just said that the assassin was not Guan Duo. Do you know who he is?"
Chang Yuchun said: "Although I have never met Guan Duo, I have heard some things about him. This person is good at horseback kung fu, and his boxing and kicking skills may not be better than Pan Cheng!"
Qin Lingsi asked hurriedly: "Could that be Liu Futong's other subordinates?"
Chang Yuchun pondered for a while and said: "I can't say for sure! But I know a person who is somewhat similar to the person I met tonight!"
Qin Lingsi asked: "Who is it?"
Chang Yuchun said: "That man's name is Zhang Dingbian. I heard that he is very good at boxing and kicking. Moreover, he is from Huguang, so he has a good chance of learning Aangquan!"
Lan Yu was unconvinced and said: "Brother Chang, if you don't have to be a great player, you must be a famous figure. That person may also be a folk expert!"
Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "It makes sense."
Qin Lingsi's eyes flickered for a while and she said: "Since we are not sure, let's ask someone who knows his identity!"
Lan Yu was stunned and said: "Who?"
Qin Ling thought: "Zhu Yuanzhang!"
It's late at night and the sky is full of stars.
When Qin Lingsi led her troops to Zhu Yuanzhang's courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang took Ma Xiuying and his men and left first, leaving only Guo Zixing.
"Mr. Guo, did you say that Marshal Zhu left Jiangdu Mansion?" Qin Lingsi asked with a solemn face.
Guo Zixing stood behind the door and said calmly: "Yes, just now, he sent someone to ask the King of Chu for permission to take Xiuying back to Huizhou!"
Qin Lingsi snorted and said, "It's strange that he chose to leave tonight if he didn't leave early or late!"
Guo Zixing said: "The King of Chu has said it first, allowing the couple to leave at any time. They can leave whenever they want, right?"
Qin Lingsi took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and said, "You're right, sorry for bothering you!"
Guo Zixing said nothing and closed the courtyard door.
Lan Yu said loudly: "Sister Qin, they should have left the city soon. If you give me a hundred cavalry, I will definitely catch them back!"
Qin Ling thought for a while and said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance, so I need to ask my brother-in-law for instructions!"
"Lanyu, take your people and wait at the west gate. When I get permission, you can send people to chase you! General Chang, take your people to guard the post and be sure to keep an eye on the Tianwan Army's envoys!"
Lan Xiangyu puzzled: "Why don't you just break into the hotel? Maybe you can catch the murderer!"
Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "The owner of the venue made the right arrangement. The man was injured and would never return to the hotel immediately. If we stare and don't do anything, he may think that he can hide it from us and might go back!"
Lan Xiangyu glanced at Qin Lingsi and praised: "You are so thoughtful!"
Qin Lingsi dropped her shoulders, sighed, and said, "I'm far behind. If my brother-in-law were here, so many people wouldn't die tonight!"
After saying that, he took a few personal guards and returned to the palace.
