Tyrant's Secret

"Your Majesty will be greeted." The ministers entered the tent and immediately knelt down on the ground.

Ling Jue leaned lazily on the chair, and said coldly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Those ministers responded, and stood up and stood on both sides. Some timid ministers knew that Ling Jue was in danger while hunting, and they were afraid that Ling Jue would lose his temper. There was no anger on Ling Jue's face, on the contrary, he was more amiable than usual, and even the sword eyebrows that were used to frowning eased a little.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, all secretly surprised.

Ling Jue asked, "What's the result of the search?"

Hearing this, Lu Bowu immediately came out of the queue, cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have sent additional troops to check every corner of the hunting ground one by one, and found no suspicious clues."

Ling Jue was a little confused when he heard this, and asked coldly: "Where is my horse, did you find it?"

Lu Bowu hesitated for a while, and then replied with some embarrassment: "Go back to Your Majesty, I found it... However, when I found it, the horse was already killed. I have ordered people to bring the horse's corpse back."

Ling Jue's face was a little gloomy when he heard this, and he said coldly, "Bring it in."

"Yes."

Lu Bowu hurriedly responded, stepped back to the side, and ordered loudly to the guards outside: "You guys go and carry the horse corpse into the tent."

Those guards hurriedly said, "I obey your orders", stepped back, and carried the horse's corpse in on a large stretcher.

When everyone saw the horse corpse, they all gasped in unison, regretful and fearful at the same time.

That horse was a top-notch BMW, but it was a pity that its skull had been shattered, its brains spilled out, its snow-white mane was stained with blood, and it was sticking together, looking shocking.

Looking at the horse at the beginning, Zhan Yan clenched his fists with lingering fear. Fortunately, he pulled His Majesty onto his horse at that time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Ling Jue remained calm, but tightened his eyes and said coldly: "Have you done an autopsy?"

Lu Bowu said solemnly: "Return to Your Majesty, as soon as I found the horse corpse, I immediately inspected it, but... nothing abnormal was found."

Hearing this, Dou Kun said to Ling Jue: "Your Majesty, since General Lu has said so, I think that the sudden loss of control of the horse should be just a coincidence. Your Majesty need not be disturbed by it."

At the beginning of the banquet, he was very worried, and he cupped his hands to Ling Jue and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the horses used by the emperor in the palace are all carefully selected good riders, and your Majesty's horses should be outstanding and well-trained. I have a good horse, but two such incidents happened in succession, I think there must be something wrong with it, Your Majesty must not be careless."

Seeing what Zhan Yanchu said, Dou Kun said with a smile: "Why did Major General Zhan say that there must be something strange? General Lu has already done an autopsy on the horse, and there is no abnormality. Could it be that Major General has objections to his autopsy results? ?”

Lu Bowu saw that Dou Kun intended to make people misunderstand him, and said angrily: "What do you mean by Dou Youcheng's words? With so many eyes watching, I may not have a chance even if I want to cheat for personal gain. Besides, I am loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty He was almost killed, how could the subordinate be negligent about this matter?"

Lu Bowu argued vigorously, and Meng Qiubai suddenly laughed aside: "General Lu's loyalty must be fine, but..."

Lu Bowu glared at him: "But what?"

Meng Qiubai said provocatively: "How did General Lu know that the horse must have been killed?"

Lu Bowu said impatiently: "Does it need to be said? The horse lost his mind and went crazy, and the skull was broken like that, how could he die?"

Meng Qiubai smiled, didn't answer him, just stepped out of the row and cupped his hands at Ling Jue: "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can have another autopsy on the corpse in public?"

Ling Jue knew that although Meng Qiubai didn't know the rules, he was always very intelligent, so he nodded slightly and said, "Old General Meng, but it doesn't matter if you try."

Meng Qiubai smiled, walked to the side of the horse corpse, walked around slowly, then squatted down, looked at the horse's broken skull, shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk...it's really horrible!" His fingers penetrated into the horse's skull, and when he dug it out, brains and blood gushed out instantly, covering his whole finger with paste.

Some of the surrounding ministers couldn't stand it anymore, and the disgusting ones almost wanted to vomit.

Lu Bowu couldn't help cursing: "Meng, what are you doing? Is there a post-mortem like you?"

Meng Qiubai didn't answer him, he took a look at the brains on his finger, shook his head and continued digging.

Seeing Meng Qiubai's appearance, the ministers were a little curious, and looked over while holding back their nausea.

After a while, Lu Bowu scolded impatiently: "You have been holding it for a long time, can you do it?"

Finally, Meng Qiubai took a look with his fingers, and with a happy expression on his face, he stood up and said, "I found it!"

"What did you find?" Lu Bowu couldn't help looking over curiously.

Meng Qiubai proudly said to Lu Bowu: "Old man Lu, first go get a handkerchief and come over to wipe my hands."

"You..." Lu Bowu was depressed for a moment, he took the handkerchief angrily, and threw it to him angrily: "Here."

Meng Qiubai took it, wrapped his fingers in a handkerchief and wiped it carefully, then spread it out and presented it: "Your Majesty, please have a look."

On the snow-white veil, blood and white brains were muddy, disgusting.

Ling Jue frowned slightly, held back his nausea and looked carefully, only to find that there was a small red thing in the middle of the veil, which was made up of broken red needles. Point fluff.Ling Jue was a little surprised, frowned and said: "This is..."

Meng Qiubai paused word by word: "The wreckage of a Gu worm."

"What, the wreckage of a Gu worm?" The ministers whispered after hearing the words.

Ling Jue fell silent.

"In order to avoid leaving evidence, that person deliberately let the horse crash to death, but unfortunately he didn't destroy the evidence cleanly enough." Meng Qiubai smiled, seeing that the ministers were puzzled, he explained: "The one on the veil is Xi You A Gu worm called blood spider."

"What? Blood spider?" Lu Bowu couldn't help looking at Meng Qiubai in shock.

Meng Qiubai smiled and said: "Xi You is good at poison, and even better at witches and Gus. This blood spider is a high-quality Gu insect, which is extremely rare. The person who can use this blood spider cannot be an ordinary wizard, and must have someone in Xi You." High status."

When Zhan Yan first heard the words, he frowned in surprise and said, "According to this, this matter is indeed related to Xi You! But... the hunting ground is heavily guarded and there are many traps. How did they sneak in and disappear without a trace?" What about it? This is really unbelievable!"

Ling Jue was depressed for a while, snorted coldly, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I don't know, Tianjin's guards are so weak, and the imperial court counts 10 taels of military pay each year, all raising a bunch of idiots for nothing!"

Those ministers quickly knelt down on the ground: "The ministers are negligent, and they deserve death!"

Seeing that Ling Jue was so angry, Dou Kun clasped his hands and said in harmony: "Your Majesty, those barbarians are really hateful. They dare not confront them directly. They only dare to play tricks of villains. Your Majesty must show them some color, otherwise , insulting my Tianjin national prestige!"

"Xi You is so arrogant, of course I won't let you go lightly. But right now, I want to find out the person who played the trick." Ling Jue narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes: "I want to see what it is Such a person dares to act wildly under my nose!"

Although heavy troops have been mobilized to seal off the search, the search during the day has not made any more progress, and Ling Jue sat on the chair in boredom.

Originally, the happiest day of the year was to go hunting in the hunting grounds, because only at that time, he would not have to spend the whole day in the deep palace facing lifeless faces, and he would not be able to temporarily stop thinking about the unfinished business. Government affairs can release the depression and dullness in one's heart while galloping.

But now, even this last bit of comfort is gone.

The injury on the ankle continued to be painful.Ling Jue took a deep breath, it must have swelled...

He frowned, ignoring the pain in his ankle, pinched his brows, and thought carefully, how did Xi Youren get in, and what kind of method made it impossible for Lu Bowu and the others to find it anyway?

Suddenly, he froze suddenly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that... No!impossible!That is a channel that only the royal family of Tianjin knows, how could Xiyou know?

"Your Majesty, General Zhan please see me!" A guard outside the tent suddenly shouted.

Ling Jue was startled, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes moved slightly.At the beginning of the banquet... what did he come for?

Ling Jue put down his hands and said, "Tell me."

At the beginning of the banquet, he opened the curtain and walked in, knelt down on the ground: "My minister, I greet Your Majesty."

"Get up."

"Yes." Zhan Yanchu stood up.

Ling Jue looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

At the beginning of the banquet, he took out a bottle of ointment a little nervously: "This bottle of medicine is what I asked for from the imperial doctor. It can remove blood stasis and relieve pain."

Ling Jue took the bottle of medicine, gripped it slowly in his hand, his eyes moved slightly: "You came here just to deliver the medicine?"

"It's not just that!" Zhan Yanchu looked at him excitedly.

Ling Jue looks at Zhan Yanchu with some surprise.

Zhan Yanchu realized that he was a little out of control, pursed his lower lip, but still couldn't help clenching his fists, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is best to have someone escort you back to the palace as soon as possible, the sooner the better, the matter of the hunting ground will be left to you." The ministers are going to investigate, this place is too unsafe! Minister... the minister is really worried!"

Looking at Zhan Yanchu's anxious look, Ling Jue couldn't help furrowing his brows slightly, he slowly stroked the medicine bottle in his hand, and said, "I know what you mean, but I still have to look into the matter of the hunting ground myself. trip."

"Your Majesty!" Zhan Yanchu was so anxious that cold sweats broke out: "Your Majesty has also seen the death of that horse. Xi Youren's witchcraft is so vicious, it is definitely not..."

"At the beginning of the banquet." Ling Jue called to stop him.

At the beginning of Zhanyan, he was full of words, depressed and anxious, so he sighed and lowered his head: "The minister is here."

"I will go back." Ling Jue said seriously.

"En?" Zhan Yanchu raised his head and looked at Ling Jue in disbelief.With that tone just now, Ling Jue...is trying to comfort him?

Seeing Zhan Yanchu looking at him like this, Ling Jue felt a little uncomfortable, looked away, and said in a cold tone, "I can't find out what happened to the hunting ground, and I injured my foot again, so I didn't plan to stay here." come down."

When Zhan Yan first heard the words, his brows stretched, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Ling Jue thought for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he put the medicine lightly on the table, his expression became serious.

"However, before that, you have to accompany me to a place."
