Chapter 71 View, clues
"Zheng Guo went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon to discuss the construction of water conservancy with Prime Minister Lu."
Mu Qingkong replied: "After he left the Xiangfu's residence in the evening, he was assassinated in the street, about two quarters ago.
It is a good thing that the guests of the Xiangfu Palace are often accompanied to see them off, and they shot in time, otherwise Zheng Guo would have died on the spot, and the person has now been sent back to the Jingqian Palace, and his life and death are unpredictable. "
Zhong Changzai was one of the four main gatekeepers of the Xiangfu, and he practiced Confucianism.
At the beginning, Xia Si and Shan Kui sneaked into Xianyang and wanted to kidnap Zhao Huaizhong. Later, Ye Yufu and Lu Buwei jointly sent people to hunt down the yin girl sect.
Xiangguofu led the team and cooperated with Baiyao, and it was Zhong Changli.
At this time, the envoys of Qi and Chu, who were the first in Zhao Huai’s middle and lower ranks, also noticed that things were different and looked over together.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at everyone and said, "The Korean Zheng Guo was assassinated in the city. I want to go and see, and I will entertain you all another day."
Zheng Guo was assassinated.
The envoys from Qi and Chu countries are all heartbroken.
The state of Zheng persuaded Da Qin to build water conservancy facilities. For the rest of the five states, it did not have the pain of the Han people, but also consumed the national strength of the Qin people, which was excellent.
If Zheng Guo died, it would increase the obstacles for the Qin people to build water conservancy, which was not what Qi Chu wanted.
A group of people came out of the Prince’s Mansion, and the envoys of Qi and Chu also followed Zhao Huaizhong to visit Zheng Guo on the grounds of visiting.
These people, for the country and for themselves, each have their own considerations.
Everyone walked together, and after a quarter of an hour, they came to the Jingqian Palace.
The halls here are continuous, with blue bricks and brown tiles. It is a place specially used by Daqin to entertain envoys from various countries. It is not far from the south gate of Xianyang Palace and is adjacent to the Wei River.
Zhao Huaizhong entered the Jingqian Palace and saw Zheng Guoshi.
He was lying on the bed, unconscious, and his anger was like a gossamer. He was indeed seriously injured.
There is a wound on his chest and abdomen, which penetrates deep into the internal organs.
Fortunately, Zheng Guo was also very human. He had practiced the Five Elements Water Method in Yin-Yang Technique, and his vitality was strong, so he did not die on the spot.
Yuhou Han Yi stayed beside the bed with an ugly face. When he saw Zhao Huaizhong coming to visit in person, he stood up and made a long bow: "Please trace the murderer and punish him severely."
Zhao Huaizhong approached and looked at Zheng Guo. After a while, he took out a small jade bottle, poured a drop of a rich liquid green like jade, and dropped it into Zheng Guo's mouth.
The medicinal liquid in this small bottle has a lot of history. It was Jiang Yan and Mu Yangjing, who each gave him a portion, and one portion only had one drop.
This is the secret treasure of the Shennong clan, the recipe left by the ancestors of Shennong, the kind of series that almost can make the dead return to the sun.
Zhao Huaizhong didn't feel bad about using a drop, so he would go back to Jiang Yan and Mu Yangjing and ask for it.
The key is that the two of them don't know each other yet.
Zheng Guo swallowed the medicinal liquid, and his complexion soon changed, with a little more blood, and his breath grew longer.
Everyone was a little surprised.
The Prince of Great Qin really has a rich family and is covered with good things. He was rescued so quickly from such a serious injury.
Zhao Huaizhong didn't wait too long, and ordered Mu Qingkong to let the elites of Ye Yufu take over the security protection of the envoys of the Six Nations, and immediately took a car to the scene of the incident, which is the place where Zheng Guo was assassinated.
This is a long street between Xiangguo Mansion and Jingqian Palace. Although it happened at night, with the prosperity of Xianyang, there were still pedestrians on the street at that time.
The murderer dared to commit murder in the street, it was really rampant.
When Zhao Huaizhong arrived, Ye Yufu and Xianyang city guards had sealed off the surrounding neighborhoods, soldiers and horses were arrayed on both sides of the street, armored and sharp, and the atmosphere was chilling.
Many people gathered here one after another, including some people under the envoys of the six countries, who came to watch the situation.
Zhao Huaizhong got off the carriage, and all the Qin generals bowed to greet him.
He came to the scene surrounded by Mu Qingkong, Xin Wu, Wu Jia and others.
The assassination of the Korean envoy during his visit to Xianyang is not a trivial matter. Xia Xin, the hero of Ye Yufu, and Pei Yu, another member of the nine generals of Zhonglang, have been investigating the scene for a long time.
Pei Yu is nearly forty years old, with an ordinary body shape, but with long hands and feet, it gives people the impression of being healthy and light, and his eyes are extraordinarily sharp.
In addition, there was a man with a mature face and a Confucian uniform standing beside him. It was Zhong Chang.
Several people saw Zhao Huaizhong coming over to perform the ceremony.
"Prince Prince, Xiangye asked me to stay and assist Ye Yufu, to detect this matter as soon as possible, and find the murderer." Zhong Changzai's voice was honest, that kind of baritone, quite pleasant.
Zhao Huai hummed, his eyes slowly wandering on the surrounding long streets, and details came into view one by one.
This is a long street with a width of nearly 30 feet, with buildings on both sides lined up with different heights. It is located in the southern district of Xianyang City.
At this time, after the other envoys of the six kingdoms heard the news, more and more people came to check the situation.
Including the envoy of Qi Zhanggong and the envoy of Chu also followed.
"What was the process of Zheng Guo's assassination?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
Zhong Changzai said: "At that time, Zheng Guo was riding in a chariot. He studied the landform features of Daqin in the chariot and thought about the opening of the canal. I followed on horseback and suddenly noticed a qi movement that broke through the air. When they arrived, they came fast and hastily, directly hitting the carriage where Zheng Guo was riding.
I released a layer of mana wall to protect the chariot, but I was still pierced by the incoming breath, which severely damaged the Zheng Kingdom. "
Zhao Huaizhong's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhong Chang is one of the four most powerful guests in the prime minister's residence.
Even if he releases the mana wall in a hurry, the opponent can break it with one blow, which shows his strength.
"Then what?" Mu Qingkong asked instead of Zhao Huaizhong.
"The aura then burst out from the inside of the car. It was a green halo. I didn't see what was in it, and it disappeared in a flash."
Zhong Changzai's face was solemn, and he said to Zhao Huaizhong, "I suspect that the green light is not caused by human beings.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the corner of the long street, and a chariot and a figure riding a white horse drove out from the south.
"Your Majesty, that's Mu Qianshui from Jixia Academy." Mu Qingkong turned her head and said.
The figure riding on a white horse, with a tall and thin body and a thin and handsome face, around thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a moon-white robe, looking calm and casual, with a long sword hanging from his waist.
When he came to Zhanggong's side, the curtains of the accompanying carriage were pulled open, and Zhao Huaizhong's "old friend" Qingyang Hou also walked out.
Mu Qianshui has the temperament of a down-and-out literati. Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to think that he is the head of the four major teachings of Jixia, and one of the strongest swordsmen in the world.
"Should we block this place and forbid the envoys of the Six Nations from approaching at will?" Xia Xin asked in an angry voice.
Zhao Huaizhong shook his head: "As a Korean envoy, Zheng Guo was assassinated in Xianyang, which also concerns the safety of the envoys of the other countries. They want to know the progress of the situation, so there is no need to hide it.
Let's follow the clues first and find out the murderer. "
"Has the prince found a clue?" Zhong Changzai said in surprise.
Mu Qingkong remembered Zhao Huaizhong's method of tracking down the hidden village of the eclipse religion along the way and wiping out the opponent.
Zhao Huai's **** pointed to the ground not far away, "There is a trace there, which seems to be a kind of footprint."
With the blessing of the plug-in, Zhao Huaizhong could see a vague trace left on the ground, like a footprint, in the shape of a narrow diamond, somewhat like an incomplete footprint left by a woman with small feet.
But if it was a real woman, the footprint should not be so small, less than two inches, revealing an inexplicable strangeness.
The footprints are glowing with a greenish halo, which is consistent with what Zhong Chang said.
What's even weirder is that ordinary people's eyesight can't see the footprints on the ground at all.
The footprints seem to be invisible, the monster is still some kind of ghost, why did he choose to shoot at Zheng Guo... Questions arose in Zhao Huai's brain one after another.
At this time, Mu Qingkong and the others have followed the direction he instructed and started to act quickly.
"Wait." Zhao Huaizhong suddenly turned to look at the street corner.
I just want to ask for a ticket
