C94 The Imperial Palace Sees the True Identity of the Murderer

Now he could only quietly follow and see if there was a chance to kill him again. Thinking of this, he quickly followed and soon hid near the city gate.

When Lee Xiangyu arrived, he fell off his horse. The guards went forward to check and found that it was Lord Commander of the Royal Guards who quickly helped him up.

"Lord, what happened to you?"

"I was plotted against. Help me to the tower. Also, go and ask General Qu to come over. "

"Yes, I will go now. " After saying that, the guard called a few people over to support Lee Xiangyu. He wanted to go to General's Mansion and invite General Qu.

"Wait a minute. "

"Lord Lee, what other orders do you have?"

"I think the thief hasn't gone far yet. You guys should go and split up into a few groups and ride your horses to General's Mansion. Also, tell General Qu to be careful when you come. That thief has strong martial arts. We are in the open when he is in the dark. Don't fall into the trap like me. "

"Yes, this subordinate will accept the order. " After saying that, he found a few people to ride their fast horses and split up to run towards General's Mansion.

Jia Tianwei could see clearly from afar, although he could not hear what Lee Xiangyu and the others were talking about. However, when he saw the guards rushing into the city in different directions, he knew that they must have gone to find reinforcements. He also knew that the reason why they split up was to prevent him from killing these people. When he thought of this, he understood that there was basically no more chance to kill him. Thus, he quietly retreated and returned to courier hostel.

Lee Xiangyu sat down on the tower with the help of the guards. He sat cross-legged and was about to force the silver needles out. After a long time, three silver needles suddenly flew out of Lee Xiangyu's body and pierced into the crack on the opposite side of the wall.

The silver needles had been forced out. Lee Xiangyu opened his eyes and covered his abdomen. He saw General Qu standing beside him.

"Lord Lee, how are you?" General Qu asked with concern.

"I am seriously injured. I'm much better now. "

"How could this be? Who plotted against you?"

"It was the murderer who used the silver needle to kill. "

"What!!! It was him. He appeared again? Why did he want to kill you? Could it be that he's investigating you?"

" I don't know either, but I don't think it's that simple. General Qu, this murderer is very skilled in martial arts. Furthermore, his moves are vicious and deadly. If it wasn't for the appearance of the patrolling soldiers, I would have been able to escape. I'm afraid I would be a corpse now. Also, if it wasn't for the especially bright moon tonight, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even be able to dodge the concealed weapon that he released for the first time. This person can be described as terrifying. "

"Is this person really that powerful? Even you are no match for him?"

"En, I have found some clues about the murderer. I want to ask General Qu for a favor. "

"What favor? Tell me. "

"I want to go to the Palace to see you immediately, but I am seriously injured now. If the murderer appears again, I will die for sure. So I want to ask General Qu to accompany me to see you. "

"Alright, then I will accompany you to the palace. Someone, prepare a carriage immediately. I want to enter the palace with Lord Lee. "

After hearing that, the guard quickly went down to prepare the carriage. In a short while, the carriage stopped at the foot of the city wall. Two guards helped Lee Xiangyu into the carriage. General Qu rode on the horse and rushed towards the Palace with more than ten guards. When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, it was Royal Guards who helped Lee Xiangyu and General Qu into the study.

"This official, this official Lee Xiangyu greets the Emperor. " Lee Xiangyu forced himself to kneel down and greet, "This official Qu Jinpeng greets the Emperor. "

"Two my close, dispense with the formalities and stand up. Mr Lee, what is the matter with you?" The Emperor saw the strange look on Lee Xiangyu's face and quickly went to the hall to help him up. He asked with concern. This was the most critical moment and he did not wish for Lee Xiangyu to be in any danger. Otherwise, there would be no one in Da Ming.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this official This official had just been plotted against by an evil person on the way back and almost could not see the Emperor. Helpless, he could only ask General Qu to escort me to see the Emperor. "

"What!!! Receiving a plot? How are you? "

"This official is not a match for that villain and is heavily injured. Fortunately, this official knows the patrol time of the patrolling soldiers and seized the time to escape when the patrolling soldiers appeared. Unfortunately, those patrolling soldiers have already been killed. "

"How could it be like this!!! Do you know who it is?" When the Emperor heard this, his head immediately turned big. One must know that the martial arts competition would be held after dawn. At this time, Lee Xiangyu was seriously injured. That was the most unfortunate thing.

"It's that murderer who used silver needles to kill. But it's very strange. Why did he plot against me there?! It's as if he knew that I would definitely take that path. "

"It's him!! In other words, he's from the Nanzhou? But no one except me knows about your return. Could it be. . . " Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Shunzi, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.

"Could it be that what?"

"Could it be that he heard my conversation with Shunzi earlier?! If that's the case, then this murderer must have been here before. How terrifying! He can actually enter and exit the Imperial Palace freely without being discovered!"

"Emperor, this official has already found some clues regarding this murderer. Initially, when I met him tonight, I wanted to verify it, but he still refused to say who he is. "

"Come, all of you sit down first. " The Emperor ordered the palace maids to support Lee Xiangyu to sit down and General Qu also sat down.

"Quick, tell me about that murderer's situation. "

"It's the Emperor. This official really found out about the situation regarding the murderer. But because this person is too mysterious, it is only a little. "

"A little bit is fine too. At least we know what kind of person he is, so we can have a general target. "

"This man is the second strongest expert in the Western Region. His name is Jia Tianwei. He is the Master of the Hundred-face Pavilion, the largest sect in Western Region. People call him Hundred-face King. This man is cruel and merciless. He is good at using silver needles to kill people, and he also has a good knife technique. I didn't expect him to work with the Nanzhou. "

"What else?"

"No more. "

"[Nothing else?] That's all?"

"Replying to the Emperor, this person's whereabouts are mysterious and we can only obtain this superficial information. If we continue to investigate further, we really can't do anything. This official's negligence, please punish him. "

"Sigh! Forget it, no matter what, we already know this person's identity. It will be easier to do things in the future. This man should be in the tribute team of Nanzhou now. As long as we can keep Nanzhou here for a few more days, we will be able to buy more time. It seems like the Nanzhou has spent a lot of money this time. They actually sent out the second strongest expert of the Western Domain. "

"Emperor, you summoned me back in a hurry because of the martial competition, right?"

"Did General Qu tell you?"

"The Emperor asked. Yes, this official and General Qu have told me everything along the way.
