The sun sets towards the evening and the sky becomes darker.
At the street corner where Zhao Huaizhong was looking, there were several people passing by who briefly stopped to watch.
Several people were standing far away, and they only took a quick look before planning to leave, not daring to stay for a long time.
But Zhao Huaizhong still caught something unusual among the watching crowd in an instant.
"Catch him, the man in brown clothes." Zhao Huaizhong ordered.
The next moment, Ye Yufu general Pei Yu tapped the ground, and like a weightless bat, he instantly crossed a distance of tens of meters and arrived near the target.
Several people standing on the street corner turned pale with fear.
Only the target man ran away, climbed over the wall of a nearby courtyard, and disappeared.
Pei Yu shouted coldly, changed direction in the air, and chased after him.
At the same time, near the area where Zhao Huaizhong was, a green light suddenly appeared, like a sharp arrow from far to near, hitting Zhao Huaizhong's eyebrows directly.
"Be bold!"
Xin Wu, Mu Qingkong, Xia Xin, Zhong Changzai and others all shouted angrily.
Several people moved quickly, separated in different directions, and brought Zhao Huaizhong's front, rear, left, and right within the protection range.
The ornaments on Mu Qingkong's wrists touched each other, making a crisp sound, and a ball of mana suddenly formed in front of him, and the green light that was coming was immediately involved in it.
Xia Xin also blasted out a fist pillar from the side, hitting the green light one after another with Mu Qingkong's mana wind group.
The actions and reactions of several people were all based on momentary choices. While completing the protection of Zhao Huaizhong, they immediately took action to defeat the incoming strange green light.
"Attack the Crown Prince of Qin!"
Not far away, envoys from Qi, Chu and other countries were all frightened.
Mu Qianshui said to Zhang Gong and Qingyang Hou: "These people are worthy of being the famous generals of Ye Yu Mansion. They are famous all over the world. They are really extraordinary."
Zhang Gong asked: "How do the generals of Ye Yu Mansion compare with Mu Jiaoxi?"
Mu Qianshui carried it with one hand: "Of course it's not as good as it is. You are all inferior to me."
In the middle of the street, when Zhao Huaizhong was attacked, his heart was completely calm. He looked at the people in front and behind him who were protecting him airtight. He had known it would be like this.
The people around him valued his safety more than he did. Not only was his opponent unable to attack, he himself had no loopholes to take advantage of.
"Chase!"
Mu Qingkong and others were shocked and angry that someone dared to attack the Crown Prince of Qin in Xianyang, and even scraped the ground three feet to find him.
The soldiers under Ye Yufu dispersed like a tide, preparing for a complete blockade and searching for suspicious persons.
"Stop chasing him. He is enough for the person Pei Yu is chasing. He should be a puppet who has been obsessed with his mind. The purpose of the incoming green light is to distract the focus of our pursuit so that the real murderer can escape.
."
Zhao Huaizhong turned his head and looked in one direction: "The real culprit who released the green light and attacked Zheng Guo was hiding nearby just now and was heading south quickly."
"I think what the Crown Prince said may not be correct..." A naysaying voice suddenly sounded.
The speaker was Mu Qianshui.
The gentleman walked over with three steps, and said leisurely: "What if the prince makes a mistake in his judgment, and the person who was chased just now is the real murderer, wouldn't he miss a good opportunity?"
Zhang Gong followed Mu Qianshui with an embarrassed look on his face and explained, "Don't blame me, Prince. In addition to swordsmanship, Mu Qianshui also practiced as a master."
Everyone immediately understood that the famous scholar was also one of the three religions and nine schools. He advocated "a white horse is not a horse" and was very good at sophistry.
To a certain extent, they are similar to gangsters.
Mu Qianshui likes to play devil's advocate not against one person, but against everyone.
At this time, Marquis Qingyang also came to greet Zhao Huaizhong with a respectful and apologetic attitude and a smile on his face.
The Qingyang Marquis had already reacted to the incident at the Yin Shang Secret Palace last time, but everyone understood it tacitly.
Zhao Huaizhong asked Mu Qianshui: "Mu Qianshui thinks that the person just now is a serious suspect. How about asking you to take action and hunt down the murderer together?"
Mu Qianshui shook his head habitually: "I didn't say that the person was a serious suspect, I just raised a possibility. If I were asked to take action, I would not necessarily agree, unless the prince could convince me and prove that the person was indeed a serious suspect."
Zhao Huaizhong couldn't help but laugh. This gentleman was indeed a master of words, a master of conversational skills, and a wild and messy man, so he ignored him.
Mu Qingkong and others have already started taking action, following Zhao Huaizhong's instructions to start tracking.
Zhao Huaizhong also boarded the chariot and went with the team.
Some of the other envoys from the six countries left and went back to wait for news, while others continued to follow Ye Yufu's team.
Behind the chariot Zhao Huaizhong was riding on, on Qi Ren's carriage, Zhang Gong muttered:
"The assassination of Zheng Guo seems to be quite extraordinary. The perpetrator dared to attack the Crown Prince of Qin in the street. He may have unusual origins. Zhao Huaizhong also had extraordinary means. How did he determine the location of the murderer and find out that there was something wrong with the person hiding in the crowd?
of?"
"The censor is paying attention to the development of the situation and wants to find out the details of Zhao Huaizhong?"
Qingyang Hou and Zhang Gong were riding in the same car, and their thoughts were up and down.
He had seen the tactics of the Crown Prince of Qin last time when he came to Xianyang, which made him feel miserable. On the surface, he also wanted to thank Zhao Huaizhong for helping him solve the purpose of his mission last time and allowing Da Qin to cease war with the Koreans.
Qingyang Hou felt bitter but could not speak out, so he reminded Zhang Gong: "When dealing with Qin Chu Zhao Huaizhong, censors must be cautious."
The tracking team moved forward quickly and soon arrived outside Xianyang City.
And not long after leaving the city, Baiyao appeared out of thin air in front of Zhao Huaizhong's chariot and sat in the chariot's seat: "Wei Chen, come here and drive for the prince."
Zhao Huaizhong frowned. Bai Yaoxian came here after receiving news that someone was attacking him in the city and worried about his safety.
At this time, the team chased them all the way to the Weishui River outside the city. The river was rushing and flowing in front of them.
There are several small boats on the river, still ferrying people across the river when the sun sets and it is already dark.
"Let those ships dock." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Mu Qingkong responded, stepped out and came to the river.
His feet seemed to be supported by water ghosts, walking on the river as if they were on flat ground. He quickly approached several small boats in the river and ordered them to dock.
After a while, several small boats came to the shore.
Zhao Huaizhong got down from the chariot, his eyes fell on a man dressed as a boatman standing at the stern of the boat, and he said calmly: "Capture him."
At the same moment, the boatman at the stern of the boat suddenly raised his head and revealed a sinister sneer: "The Crown Prince of Qin was actually chased all the way here by you."
The next moment, the boatman's figure quickly withered, and a green halo overflowed from his eyebrows.
On the shore, everyone saw the green light overflowing from the fisherman's eyebrows and raised their brows at the same time.
"The aura of this green light is completely unlike human beings, so evil and vicious."
"It's like the ancient legend of the demon clan's ability to transform into a soul, but the demon clan has not been seen for many years."
"I don't think it's necessarily a demon..." Mu Qianshui retorted.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.
That wisp of green evil spirit penetrated into the water and disappeared in a flash.
Mu Qingkong was the closest and immediately pursued her into the river.
The waves on the river are rolling, and the light of magic collides fiercely below the river, and the undercurrent surges.
"There's something else in the river!"
Mu Qingkong and Lu Guang suddenly rushed out of the water and fought in a stalemate.
At this time, he could already see clearly that in the green light was a petite woman.
Under the water, there were also surprising changes.
A huge shadow emerged from the water and poked out of the water. It was a big snake with green scales and yellow stripes.
Its head is as big as a bucket, and it holds its head high while vomiting letters, with hazy water flowing around its body.
On the shore, a few people who had just got off the boat were watching the strange scene in the river, and screams of exclamation broke out.
"Sure enough, it's not just humans who have gained the power of cultivation. There are also ghost spirits and demons running rampant..." Zhao Huaizhong muttered to himself.
He had seen records of monsters in many ancient books before, but this was the first time he had seen monsters appear with his own eyes after traveling for more than a year.
