The fires of the two large ships had been extinguished, and the tail was almost burned out, revealing a dark and ugly dragon skeleton frame. Hundreds of ministers on the shore pointed and talked about the bizarre fire. A row of corpses wrapped in reed mats were placed by the dark river. The fire killed five palace maids and three eunuchs, but they were not burned to death, but were unfortunately drowned after jumping out of the river in a hurry. ⊙,

A small boat slowly landed, and Zhang Jin went to the shore with a serious expression. He had just gone to the burned ship to look for clues, but found nothing. The emperor ordered him to solve the case within three days, but he had no idea how to solve the case.

"General!"

Pei Ju walked up and asked with concern: "Are you found any clues?"

Zhang Jin now hates officials coming to ask questions, but he dare not offend Pei Ju. Zhang Jin smiled bitterly and said, "All clues are burned out. Both ships are burned in the same position. It can only be clear that someone sets fire, but nothing else knows."

"Have the general asked the palace maids or eunuchs? See what they have discovered before?"

"The Queen does not allow it, saying that they have been frightened and I am not allowed to disturb me again."

"Or check the motivation again."

Pei Ju said again: "Since someone sets fire, why did they choose these two ships? What is special about these two ships? What is the purpose of checking them? Maybe you can find clues."

Zhang Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he knew very well why the arsonist chose these two ships, because the queen was on the boat in front of these two ships, and the emperor's dragon boat in front of them. These are the two large ships closest to the emperor's dragon boat without soldiers guarding them. The other party's target should be the emperor's dragon boat.

But Zhang Jin didn't want to continue talking to Pei Ju anymore, so he bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for reminding me, I will continue to check in detail. Let's say goodbye first."

Zhang Jin quickly walked towards his camp. Although he was a general, he did not take a boat, but stayed with the soldiers of the Youtun Guard. This was also something that made Zhang Jin feel a little dissatisfied. Their Youtun Guard was responsible for the periphery. The internal warning was the Zuotun Guard. In the end, something happened. The emperor refused to let the Zuotun Guard General Yun Dingxing investigate, but suppressed the task to him.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the camp, I heard someone calling him behind my back, "General, please stay!"

"I don't know anything!"

Zhang Jin finally couldn't help getting angry. He was extremely irritated and turned around to glar at the other party, but the other party was a young general. He looked very familiar. Zhang Jin suddenly remembered, "It turned out to be General Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Xuan walked forward and bowed: "I don't want to disturb the general, but I may have some clues."

"ah!"

Zhang Jin was overjoyed, with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically pulled Zhang Xuan's arm, "Come! Come! Come! Come! Come and sit in my tent."

Zhang Jin asked Zhang Xuan to sit down in his tent. He asked his personal soldiers to put on a bowl of iced sour plum soup. He asked impatiently: "What clues do General Zhang have?"

"I would like to ask the General first. What clues have been found about the fire?"

"What else can I find? I only know that someone is setting fire, but who is the arson man and what is the motive? I don't know anything, and it's even more so that the Lord only gave me three days. How can I find out?"

After saying that, Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Xuan with anticipation. He hoped that Zhang Xuan could give him a useful clue and not let himself be happy.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I encountered something very strange today."

Zhang Xuan said today about what happened near the south gate of Chenliu County, and finally said: "I don't understand what they did for stealing soldiers' waist cards? When a big fire broke out, my first reaction was the fire they set, but I felt that time didn't seem to match, but no matter what, this matter was very strange, and perhaps it was somewhat related to the fire of the big ship."

Zhang Jin was also silent. He knew that ordinary Xiaoguo Guard soldiers were not allowed to board the harem ship. Even if these people got the waist card, they could not board the ship. But the problem arose. No one was guarding the two ships at that time. Perhaps they just used the waist card to cross the periphery.

However, what Zhang Xuan said is not worth it, but now Zhang Jin is dying and seeking medical treatment in a hurry. He has no clue at all. He will not let go of any clues as long as there is a little clue. He even only needs a scapegoat so that he can get things done.

"Where is that iron bow of General Zhang?"

Zhang Xuan walked to the tent and waved his hand. A personal soldier ran over with the big iron bow and slowly placed it on the ground.

"What kind of bow is this?"

Zhang Jin smiled and picked up the huge iron bow. He pulled the bow harder, but only half of it was pulled. Zhang Jin shook his head and smiled at Zhang Xuan, "This is a special bow. It takes at least three stones of strength to pull it away, but the workmanship is not fine enough and not practical."

“The problem is not here.”

Zhang Xuan pointed to the back of the bow, "A name is engraved here, this is the key to this bow."

Zhang Jin quickly turned the bow over and saw five small characters engraved on it, "The king's house is so powerful that the vast sea."

"High and broad sea?"

Zhang Jin frowned, "Who is he?"

"I have inquired about this man, a bandit in Wangwu Mountain. He has the courage of ten thousand men. He used a cooked copper stick weighing 150 kilograms. It should be the person I saw today. But I don't know why he came to Chenliu County. But I think he should still be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the army. Even if the person who sets fire is not him, he should be an insider."

"But how can I find him?" Zhang Jin was still confused.

Zhang Xuan's tone became respectful, and he smiled and said, "This person, Beizi, can help the general find him, but the general needs to give Beizi the token to enter the military camp."

Zhang Jin took a command arrow from the table and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "With this command arrow, you can enter and exit the camp at will. The general must return it to me after using it."

Zhang Xuan didn't expect that Zhang Jin would be so happy. He took the arrow and said lightly: "I need to remind the general to pay attention. The background of this arson case is definitely not that simple."

"How do you say this?" Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Xuan in confusion. He felt that there was something in Zhang Xuan's words.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Some words should not be said randomly by Huye, but you will not be wrong if you are careful. If Huye is a general, you will definitely search the emperor's dragon boat first. Of course, this is just a reminder. Please consider it yourself. Huye will leave first. If there is any news, Huye will immediately notify the general."

Zhang Xuan bowed and turned around and left. Zhang Jin walked to the tent door and stared at Zhang Xuan's back as he walked away. He was still recalling what Zhang Xuan said just now, why did he thoroughly search the Emperor's Dragon Boat?

"Is it?"

Zhang Jin suddenly woke up. He understood what Zhang Xuan meant and immediately ordered: "Go to the Emperor's Dragon Boat!"

The emperor's dragon boat was closely guarded around it, and more than two thousand soldiers were stationed around the dragon boat. The soldiers seemed to be facing a great enemy, and even a little bird could not fly onto the boat.

Yang Guang was in a bad mood today, and he dared someone to destroy his dragon boat fleet. And he was only a few hundred steps away from his dragon boat, only a few hundred steps away from the queen's ship. If the wind was a little stronger and even the fire was blown up to his dragon boat, wouldn't this meant to murder him?

At night, Yang Guang sat with Queen Xiao in depressedly. He had no intention of handling government affairs tonight, but just talked with his wife to relieve her fears.

Empress Xiao witnessed the palace maids crying and jumping off the big boat in the fire, and witnessed the guards catching the drowned palace maids onto the small boat, which scared Empress Xiao. She sat in the corner of the ship warehouse and wiped her tears from time to time.

A crisp sound of cloud boards sounded, and more than a dozen brightly dressed dancers entered the magnificent lobby, dancing gracefully on both sides, with silk and bamboo on both sides pleasantly sayings to Queen Xiao, and Queen Xiao barely became excited from her low mood.

Just then, someone came from outside the lobby, "I want to see the emperor. The dragon boat is not safe, and the emperor must be transferred!"

Yang Guang was stunned. He heard that this was the voice of General Zhang Jin, but what did Zhang Jin mean?

"Stop!" he shouted, and the dancers in the hall stopped dancing.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the dancer, and a blue dagger appeared in the hands of a dancer. She heard her scolding lightly, jumped up, and rushed towards Yang Guang.

She came quickly and when she was still more than ten steps away from Yang Guang, the dagger shot out and shot at Yang Guang. The dagger came to Yang Guang's eyes in the blink of an eye, and almost everyone was stunned by this scene.

At this critical moment, a personal guard with high martial arts skills first reacted. He was too late to draw the sword, so he grabbed a little eunuch and threw it over. The little eunuch's body just blocked Yang Guang, and the dagger stabbed into the little eunuch's back. The little eunuch screamed and died immediately.

The personal bodyguard jumped up, kicked the assassin dancer out, shouting sternly to the people around him: "Isn't you catching the assassin yet!"

The guards on both sides reacted and rushed up with a loud shout. There was a scream in the lobby. Dozens of guards guarded the pale Yang Guang and the beautiful Queen Xiao, who were fading in beauty. More than a dozen guards surrounded the assassin dancer and killed him.
