Chapter 116: Unpredictable Changes (1)
Two days later, the news of the death of the Refining King reached Zhao Ziheng's ears, and the entire [Holy City] suddenly fell into an unprecedented panic...
"How could this happen? When did it happen?"
When Zhao Ziheng, who was recuperating at the time, received the news, his first reaction was disbelief. However, the fact is the fact after all.
"It was discovered this morning. The general is currently in charge of the situation at the scene, and Lord Wang has been notified to rush the scene."
Wu Yao was kneeling in front of Zhao Ziheng and reporting this with a very serious expression.
"...Xiuying, help me get some clothes."
"yes!!"
After hearing Wu Yao's words, Zhao Ziheng couldn't sit still for a moment, even though he was extremely weak at the moment.
"emperor!!"
"Go prepare the horses. I need the inn."
Ignoring Wu Yao's concerns, Zhao Ziheng gave a direct order. Wu Yao had no energy or right to refuse and could only retreat and follow his instructions.
When Zhao Ziheng rushed to the post station, the crowd was kept outside a certain range by the imperial guards. They couldn't help but worry when they saw Zhao Ziheng coming out. After all, the people still loved this monarch in their hearts. Such a big thing would inevitably bring unimaginable trouble to their monarch Zhao Ziheng. When he hurried into the post station, he met Zhao Ziyin who was directing the scene...
"emperor!"
When Zhao Ziyan saw Zhao Ziheng coming, he was surprised at first, and then immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"No thanks, how is the situation?"
Ignoring the red tape, Zhao Ziheng opened his mouth and asked.
"We are currently recording statements from all the people involved, and Wang Ye is currently collecting clues at the scene."
"Well, you continue, I'll go to the scene."
After listening to Zhao Ziyan's brief answer, Zhao Ziheng left in a hurry, and Wu Yao led the way.
Looking at Zhao Ziheng's hurriedly leaving back, Zhao Ziyin couldn't help but frown, his expression showing concern. Too many things had happened in the past half month, each one more serious than the last. However, what worried Zhao Ziyin the most was Zhao Ziheng's physical condition, which had obviously deteriorated in recent days, but Zhao Ziheng was still busy with his heavy official duties. Just two days ago, a person who was most important to Zhao Ziheng inexplicably disappeared in the palace, and now, the dignified King Lian died inexplicably in the inn. It was a wave of shocks to Zhao Ziheng, and Zhao Ziyin couldn't help but worry that Zhao Ziheng's body would be even more unable to bear it.
Rushing to the scene, the bodies of several Lian Nation guards were lying in the yard, and in the room, Wang Ye was checking Dongfang Yan's body. It was obvious that he had just arrived...
"emperor!!"
Hearing the sound outside, Wang Ye looked up and saw Zhao Ziheng walking towards him.
"How about it?"
"Yes, no matter whether it was the guards or the Refining King, there was no sign of resistance from their bodies. Not to mention their skills, it was obvious that the enemy used the most mundane method, using incense and then killing them, leaving them no chance to resist or struggle."
"Incense?"
Regardless of how the other party was knocked unconscious without the guards noticing, at least it can be judged that the enemy must be extraordinary. However, when it comes to the incense, ordinary guards may be knocked out, but how could the guards around the king of a country be knocked out so easily? Therefore, Wu Yao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because this was a bit puzzling to him.
"Yes, it can be seen that the incense used by the other party is not an ordinary one."
Of course Wang Ye knew what Wu Yao was thinking, so he answered very considerately. However, Zhao Ziheng's expression became gloomy after hearing this.
"Wu Yao, please help me get the recorded confession from General Zhao."
"yes!"
After receiving Wang Ye's request, Wu Yao immediately took action, without noticing that it was Wang Ye who was deliberately sending him away. As a result, only Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng were left in the room.
"They used the same aphrodisiac as the one who took Miss Wang away. It seems that they must be the same group of people, but the results are completely opposite."
Before Zhao Ziheng could speak, Wang Ye spoke first, and Zhao Ziheng knew very well what Wang Ye meant. The so-called opposite was also the most puzzling thing for them, that is, unlike what was happening before their eyes, when Yin Yin was kidnapped, he used a knockout potion but did not kill anyone, but now, it was Dongfang Yan who was dead.
"You mean, they're still in town?"
"Not necessarily. Didn't the emperor say that? They are very likely the same group of people, but they seem to be divided into two groups, so we can't be sure whether they are the group that took Miss Wang away."
"To be able to kill the guards without alerting anyone else in the post station, one can imagine how skilled the other party is. To be able to do this, it must be related to the group that took Shu'er away. If it's not them, then someone else among them can do this. Does that mean they will be more troublesome than we thought?"
"yes."
Wang Ye confirmed this fact without hesitation. It was a frightening fact. To achieve such a degree in the face of a single goal could only be described as "terrifying".
"But isn't there intelligence indicating that they have had contact with the Refining King?"
"Having said that, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will eradicate the problem completely before they achieve their goal. Given their style, this possibility is very high."
"Hearing what you said, I don't think so. If they really want to wipe out the roots, and they can do it without anyone noticing, then why don't the people who want to kill Shu'er do it? If they have the ability to do so, why do they have to use such despicable means?"
Wang Ye's words made Zhao Ziheng realize that the people who killed Dongfang Yan were most likely the same group of people who took Yin Yin away, because they also did it secretly. Because of Zhao Ziheng's words, Wang Ye quickly realized this.
