Right now, King Yan is just being stabbed, but he may not necessarily die.

If they can be rescued, maybe their fate will turn around.

There are many disciples and practitioners with high martial arts skills in Prince Yan's palace.

These people rushed forward, but were blocked by Gongsun Yanran's breath.

Many guests of the palace found that they were blocked by an invisible wall of air, making it impossible to cross even one step.

They could only watch helplessly as Gongsun Yanran grabbed Yan Wang Li Yan's hair and raised his head, and then wiped his neck with a dagger.

puff!

The blood of Yan King Li Yan spurted out from his neck, and his limbs struggled wildly.

But Gongsun Yanran held him tightly and refused to let go no matter how hard he tried.

After a hundred breaths, the blood of King Yan Li Yan was almost drained, and his body became limp and collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"This witch, this witch is so abominable!"

"Yes, how could there be such a hateful witch in this world?"

"Kill her, kill her to avenge His Highness King Yan!"

All the diners raised their swords and shouted, but they were just helpless and furious.

Gongsun Yanran felt that humiliating King Yan's disciples was not enough, so she cut off the head of King Yan Li Yan, then jumped into the air, flew over the wall of King Yan's palace, and flew away.

There was a deathly silence in the air.

After the invisible air wall disappeared, all the disciples were able to rush forward.

They held the headless body of King Yan Li Yan and cried loudly like they were mourning their heirs.

…

…

The dignified prince was assassinated in his own palace. This news cannot be suppressed no matter what.

Soon the palace learned the news.

Emperor Xianlong roared hysterically like an orphaned beast.

Although King Yan Li Yan was not Emperor Xianlong's favorite heir, he was still his blood after all.

His own son died suddenly, and his head was cut off by assassins. What emperor could bear it?

Emperor Xianlong only felt that he had been insulted, a huge insult!

"Come here, come here, call me Zheng Jie."

After a period of panic, Emperor Xianlong was now completely occupied by anger.

After much thought, he decided that he should discuss some countermeasures with his most trusted minion.

…

…

Zheng Jie rushed to Zichen Hall as quickly as possible.

He knew the master's temperament very well.

Normally I don't dare to wait a moment, let alone now.

This is the time when a man is most vulnerable, even the emperor.

Zheng Jie tried his best to walk as gently as possible.

After entering the main hall, he could feel the deathly silence.

After bypassing the screen and arriving at the Nuan Pavilion, he saw that Emperor Xianlong had aged many years in an instant. Zheng Jie sighed and said, "Your Majesty, all the slaves and maids have heard about it. Please show your condolences and comply with the change."

It would have been better if he didn't say that. When Emperor Xianlong heard this, he immediately became angry.

"My condolences, how can I express my condolences? That is my child, my flesh and blood. What would you do if it were your child who died?"

Zheng Jie was silent.

After a long time, Emperor Xianlong realized that he had said the wrong thing. He coughed and said, "I was so angry that I went too far."

As a king, it is not easy to be able to admit his mistakes.

Of course Zheng Jie would not argue with him and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to find the murderer of His Highness King Yan as soon as possible and bring him to justice."

This sentence is to the point.

Emperor Xianlong nodded after hearing the words: "Yes, yes! I must catch this murderer now. According to the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion, I am afraid that this assassin has a very high level of cultivation. I'm afraid it will be you this time, my companion."

I took action myself."

Zheng Jie hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that this servant is unwilling to help, but I am worried about your Majesty's safety. If this assassin can enter the uninhabited land and take the life of His Highness King Yan, then he may not be able to sneak into the palace.

"

Zheng Jie's words shocked Emperor Xianlong, and he took a deep breath.

Yes, he was so angry that he forgot about this.

Although there are restrictions and large formations in the palace, there are always exceptions to everything.

What if this assassin can really ignore the restrictions and formations and sneak into the palace?

By that time, Emperor Xianlong was in danger of his life.

Therefore, Zheng Jie's amulet cannot be easily touched under any circumstances.

"Then help me think about it, who should I let go to find the assassin?"

As soon as Emperor Xianlong finished speaking, Zheng Jie immediately continued: "I think the bad guy Zhao Xun is the most suitable."

"Zhao Xun?"

Emperor Xianlong frowned instinctively when he heard this name.

"Is he okay?"

"Your Majesty, although Zhao Xun's cultivation level is not high, his connections are top-notch. Yuan Tiangang is his adoptive father, the mountain chief, and Taoist Qinglian are his mentors. Your Majesty only needs to let him go to investigate the case. If he

If there is a problem, these people will not just sit back and ignore it.”

Wonderful!

Emperor Xianlong heard this and called him an expert.

I have to say that Zheng Jie is quite accurate in reading people's hearts.

The mountain chief, Taoist priest Qinglian, and Yuan Tiangang all regarded Zhao Xun as their own.

Although Emperor Xianlong didn't know the reason why they did this, if he thought about it carefully, they must have their reasons for doing so.

Emperor Xianlong only needed to delegate power.

"Just do as the companion says."

…

…

"What, His Royal Highness King Yan was assassinated in the palace!"

When the eunuch Yuan who delivered the order told Zhao Xun the news, Zhao Xun still felt a little unbelievable.

Although he had thought about this possibility, it was completely different from becoming a reality.

"Shh! Mr. Zhao, please keep your voice down. Only a very few people know about this, so you must not spread it outside."

Zhao Xun nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Eunuch Yuan, I understand the rules."

"Hey, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Yan died young. Your Majesty is very sad. Mr. Zhao must catch the assassin to share your Majesty's worries."

Zhao Xun wondered why it was him every time. Did Emperor Xianlong not get along with him?

"Don't worry, Eunuch Yuan, I will do my best."

"It's not about trying your best, it's about trying your best."

Eunuch Yuan emphasized.

"Well, I will do my best."

Zhao Xun was dumbfounded.

"That's all, the decree has been conveyed to our family, so we won't disturb Mr. Zhao from handling the case. Farewell."

After saying that, Eunuch Yuan turned to leave.

Zhao Xun quickly took out another gold leaf and stuffed it into Eunuch Yuan's hand.

"Master Zhao is so polite. I heard that it was Duke Zheng who recommended you to His Majesty this time."
