Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent Chapter 400: How not to be tempted or greedy
Chapter 400 How to avoid being greedy
Si Yi and Master Xuanqing have already examined the dead assassins.
At this time, Si Yi found a dagger from one of the assassins.
The handle of the dagger is engraved with the character "銍".
Wen Shengyang came over and took a look, frowning and said: "It is impossible for these people tonight to be sent by the King."
Si Yi was puzzled, "Why are you so sure?"
"I was abducted by King Zhu last time. If he wanted to threaten the prince or something, last time was a good opportunity. There is no need to spend so much time." Wen Mingyang said.
Master Xuanqing pondered for a moment and said: "The princess's analysis is quite reasonable. It seems that the person behind the scenes must have deliberately wanted to put the blame on the King."
"But who would do that? What good would it do to him?" Wen Mingyang fell into deep thought.
And the people this covers are vast.
It is very likely that he is a political opponent of Gu Linchao, and it is also very likely that he was sent by Beidi.
After all, if Gu Linchao fights with the King, they will reap the benefits.
Of course, the one who can benefit is Gu Heng.
King Jian is entrenched in Jianzhou and his power is growing day by day. How can Gu Heng allow him to become powerful?
He could use Gu Linchao to deal with King Jian.
However, if it was Gu Heng who did it, he probably didn't just want to take the opportunity to provoke a fight between Gu Linchao and King Liu.
Then what other purpose does he have?
Wen Mingxi thought hard in silence.
What is the thing about Gu Linchao that Gu Heng is most afraid of and wants the most?
What Gu Heng wanted most was to break away from Gu Linchao's assistance and truly take charge.
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
By the way, it’s a military symbol.
Gu Linchao holds the military power and is the supreme commander of the three armies. Over the years, the soldiers have followed him in the north and south, and they have become extremely sharp. It can be said that they are brave and good at fighting and invincible.
How could Gu Heng, such a sharp master as the emperor, not be tempted and greedy?
So, what Gu Heng wanted to get most should be the military talisman in Gu Linchao's hand.
If he can get the military talisman, he can sit back and relax and no longer have to be controlled by anyone, so this incident is most likely directed by him.
While abducting her for the military talisman, he could also frame her as a frame for the King.
I have to say, this is really a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
But why did he think that Gu Linchao would obediently offer the military talisman with both hands for her?
Gu Heng really thinks highly of her.
"By the way, the men in black entered Huangming Temple tonight. As if they were in an uninhabited land, they first set fire to the main hall, then assassinated the Queen Mother, and kidnapped Concubine Atuo. All of this was too easy. It shows that, They probably have an inside job." Wen Yanyang suddenly broke the silence.
She actually had some doubts in her heart that what happened tonight was Si Luo's doing.
After all, Si Luo is Gu Heng's right-hand man. If her guess just now is correct, then what happened tonight must have been caused by Si Luo.
But this is all her speculation, and she has no evidence to directly prove it.
She could only remind her like this.
When Si Yi heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, "Go and have a look in the Queen Mother's courtyard."
Wen Hengyang nodded, "Okay." Looking at Master Xuanqing, "Master, do you want to come with us?"
Xuan Qing nodded, "The Queen Mother was assassinated in Huangming Temple. The poor monk should go and visit her."
A-Tuo Jianghua didn’t understand what he heard on the sidelines, but when he saw a few people going to the Queen Mother’s courtyard, he went with them.
"By the way, has the fire in the main hall been put out?" Wen Mingyang remembered it and asked.
Xuan Qing nodded, "Before the poor monk went to the back mountain, the fire had gradually become smaller and should have been extinguished by now."
"That's good." Wen Yanyang felt relieved.
When a group of people went to the courtyard of Queen Mother Guo, they were stopped by the imperial army guarding there.
"I just heard that the Queen Mother was assassinated. We want to go in and see the Queen Mother. Please help us pass the news." Wen Mingyang said with a worried look.
The imperial guards knew that she was the regent princess, so they hesitated for a moment and then said: "Princess, please wait a moment, let me go in and report."
"There is no need to report, the Queen Mother has rested, so I exited the Queen Mother's room." At this time, a laughing voice interrupted the Forbidden Army's words.
Seeing him, the Forbidden Army quickly bowed and saluted, "Deputy Commander."
Only then did Wen Ming and others see Si Luo coming out of the shadows.
Si Luo waved his hand towards the Forbidden Army, who immediately stepped aside.
"Princess, don't worry. The Queen Mother is fine. She was just a little frightened. It's already very late. Princess, you should go back and settle down first." Si Luo looked at Wen Heng with a smile.
Wen Mingyang took a look at him. His appearance and voice were different from the man in black just now.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
Her eyes fell on his right wrist, she paused, and said with concern: "What, is the deputy commander injured?"
Si Luo raised his right hand wrapped in gauze, looked at it, and said helplessly: "Exactly, an assassin just broke in suddenly to assassinate the Queen Mother. When I rushed over, I happened to exchange a few blows with the assassin. By accident, my hand was injured by the assassin, which made the princess laugh."
Wen Mingjun raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's not a big deal to laugh, but is the deputy commander only injured on his right hand?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Yi suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Si Luo's left hand.
Si Luo was startled, backed away quickly, and said angrily: "Si Yi, why are you so crazy?"
Si Yi said nothing and continued to attack him.
Si Luo had no choice but to use his uninjured left hand to draw his sword to resist.
Although it was his left hand, his movements were very flexible, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.
Wen Mingyang and Xuanqing have been observing from the side.
Just now in the back mountain, the left hand of the man in black was hit by Master Xuanqing's Buddhist beads, and he was seriously injured. If Si Luo was the man in black, he should have exposed his flaws.
Obviously Si Yi also understood this, and then suddenly attacked him.
After watching for a long time and seeing nothing, Wen Shengyang had no choice but to stop him, "That's enough Si Yi. Even if you want to compete with Vice Commander Si, you should choose another time. Didn't you see Si Yi?" The deputy commander's right hand is injured. Is it inconvenient for me to fight with you?"
Si Yi stopped the attack at the right time. ~IndoMTL.com~ Si Luo took a breath and said with a helpless smile: "So you want to challenge me, but today is really not the time. Let's fight another day. Another day we can fight openly and honestly."
Si Yi's lips curled up with a sneer, but he ignored him and turned around to leave.
Wen Heng said: "Since the Queen Mother has rested, let's go back first and come to visit the Queen Mother tomorrow."
Xuanqing also said Amitabha.
Watching several people turn and leave, Si Luo narrowed his eyes. His left hand hanging by his side was numb. If he looked carefully, he was actually trembling slightly.
Si Luo gave a few instructions to the imperial guards as if nothing had happened, and then returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered the house, he closed the door and pulled up his left sleeve.
Close to the tiger's mouth, there was a circular wound, where the beads fell when hit. The wound had stopped bleeding, but the surrounding skin was bruised and swollen.
