Beijing.
Royal Palace, Ziwei Palace.
Qin Xiao was sitting on the soft couch, reviewing the memorial. Below him, a middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground, holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to make any sound.
"Have you caught the assassin from Taishi Mansion?"
Zhang Side heard Qin Xiao's voice and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the assassin has not been caught yet, but I have sealed the city gate last night. They must still be in the city. I will arrest the assassin as soon as possible!"
Qin Xiao snorted coldly, "As the admiral of the Nine Sects, you didn't notice the assassin entering the capital. This is your dereliction of duty!"
"Zhao Guangji is a grand master of the imperial court and has a distinguished status. Someone sneaked into the mansion and assassinated Zhao Yuanlang. This is a slap in the face of the imperial court and a slap in my face. Zhang Side, what crime do you deserve?"
Qin Xiao's cold voice came, and he saw a murderous intent flashing in Zhang Side's eyes.
This time it was just the Grand Master's Mansion. If an assassin sneaked into the palace, wouldn't he be in danger? This Side's abbreviated head was a waste, which made him murderous.
"I am guilty, I will atone for my crime and arrest the assassin!"
Zhang Side was shocked when he heard this and quickly confessed.
He knew Qin Xiao very well. If he didn't plead guilty, he would definitely be killed. Only by confessing would he have a chance to survive!
Qin Xiao snorted coldly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked coldly, "How long will it take?"
Zhang Side could not help but secretly complain, how do I know how long it will take? Without clues, it is very likely that he will not be able to catch a song, but he did not dare to say it!
After all, the killers were well-organized. He had never heard of the Tianluo organization, and it was even more difficult to track them down.
How to answer this!
Qin Xiao was about to get angry when he saw the eunuch Hong Shou walking in in a hurry.
"What's the matter? Are you so anxious?"
Hong Shou quickly saluted and said urgently, "Your Majesty, there is news from His Majesty King Yong!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words. News came from Lao Liu, what news could he have.
Qin Xiao looked at Hong Shou and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Last night, there was a fire in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, no one survived!"
"What did you say?"
Qin Xiao's eyes were gloomy and he asked sharply, "Who did it?"
"Your Highness didn't say anything, and I don't know either!"
Hong Shou looked at the furious Qin Xiao and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Black Ice Guard should also have received the news!"
"Preach Sang Tianliang!"
Suddenly a young eunuch ran in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Black Ice Guard Zuozhen Fusang Tianliang is asking to see you!"
Qin Xiao snorted, "He came at the right time, let him in!"
A middle-aged man walked in, with piercing eyes, sharp edges, and a burly figure. He lifted up his official uniform, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "I, the Black Bing Guard Zuozhen Fusang Tianliang, come to see Your Majesty! "
"Get up!"
Qin Xiao looked at Sang Tianliang and asked, "But there is news from Qingzhou?"
"yes!"
He said in a deep voice, "This morning news came from the Black Ice Guards in Qingzhou that there was a fire in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion last night. The entire Marquis Mansion was swallowed up by the fire, and no one survived!"
Qin Xiao waved his hand, "I know all this, who did it?"
"It is speculated that it was probably done by Lingxiao Palace!"
His eyes were sharp and he asked coldly, "This Lingxiao Palace is so brave. Does he want to rebel?"
"You dare to use the word "xiao", your heart is to be punished!"
Hong Shou quickly stepped forward and slapped Qin Xiao on the back, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Qin Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart, "How much do you know about Lingxiao Palace?"
"According to the information received by the Black Ice Guard, the Lingxiao Palace rose up in Fengyue City in Youzhou, and wiped out all the Western forces in Fengxue City overnight. It was ruthless and no one was left alive!"
"In a few days, all the major Jianghu forces were eradicated, and the Xi family in Youzhou was also destroyed by Lingxiao Palace. It is so powerful!"
"Last night, Qingzhou's Iron Flag Sect and Qisha Sect were destroyed. The Jianghu forces in Qingzhou will either surrender or be exterminated."
"The Qisha Clan is supported by Zhenyuan Hou. If the Qisha Clan is destroyed, Zhenyuan Marquis will definitely take revenge. That night, all the masters of the Jianghu forces in Qingzhou went to the Hou Mansion!"
Qin Xiao snorted coldly when he heard this, "As a Marquis of the imperial court, he hangs out with a gangster. This is a sign of lowering his status!"
"What you mean is that Lingxiao Palace entered the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, killed Hua Xiong and other people in the world, and set fire to the Hou Mansion."
Sang Tianliang clasped his fists and said, "Qingzhou Black Ice Guards did not see anyone from Lingxiao Palace entering the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. These are just my speculations!"
Qin Xiao snorted coldly, "Guess, this is not a guess, this is a fact!"
"The greatest evil of Lingxiao Palace is killing the Marquis of the imperial court. It is an unforgivable crime. I, Sang Tianliang, order you to destroy Lingxiao Palace!"
"this…"
Sang Tianliang's face showed hesitation, "Your Majesty, I can't do it!"
Qin Xiao's eyes sharpened and he said coldly, "Do you want to resist the decree?"
"I don't dare. It's just that there are many masters in Lingxiao Palace, and the commander is not in the capital. It's difficult for me to destroy them with my strength!"
"There are masters in the alchemy realm in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and there is more than one, and there must be one in the Lingxiao Palace. I don't want to resist the order, but I am just afraid that if they escape, it will be even more difficult to catch them!"
Qin Xiao also had a thoughtful look on his face when he heard Sang Tianliang's words. Although he was angry in his heart, what he said was indeed the truth.
He looked at Sang Tianliang and asked in a deep voice, "Is Lao Liu related to Lingxiao Palace?"
Sang Tianliang's heart trembled, he clasped his fists and said, "I don't know!"
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light, and he chuckled, "I don't know, or I dare not say."
"I really don't know that according to the news coming from Qingzhou, His Highness King Yong has no connection with Lingxiao Palace!"
Qin Xiao looked at Sang Tianliang and asked, "Who do you think can handle the affairs of Lingxiao Palace?"
Sang Tian smiled bitterly in his conscience, I am just a worker, why bother me!
I will do whatever you say, no matter how you answer!
"This is a matter decided by His Majesty, I dare not say anything more!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the words, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His fingers tapped on the imperial case, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Hong Shou!"
Hong Shou quickly bowed and said, "Old slave is here!"
"The case of arson in Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was asked by King Qi to investigate. King Yong cooperated and told him that Lingxiao Palace does not need to exist."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
He looked at Sang Tianliang and said, "You should also go and assist King Qi and King Yong. If you have any news, send it to the capital in secret!"
Sang Tianliang quickly clasped his fists and said, "I obey your order!"
"Zhao Side, I'll give you three days, go down!"
"yes!"
Zhao Side stood up and stretched his numb legs, turned around and left, with a look of mourning on his face.
Three days!
He has been searching all night, but there are no clues. In three days, he is afraid that he will have to play chess with the Lord of Hell!
Qin Xiao looked in the direction of Qingzhou and said lightly, "Guanshan!"
An old man in mysterious clothes walked out from behind, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"
"You also heard what happened just now. Go to Qingzhou and activate the secret guards to see if the incident in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has anything to do with Lao Liu!"
"If they can't eradicate Lingxiao Palace, you can take action again!"
"yes!"
Qin Xiao watched Guan Shan leave, took out the elixir from his arms and drank it, looking at Dongfang with a deep look in his eyes.
Why hasn't news come from Ji Wei? If it weren't for the support of the elixir, his body would be unable to hold on!
"Dragon blood! I want dragon blood!"
