Chapter 97 The one who rushed out first was not someone else, it was Gu Chen.
His speed was so fast, it was really like lightning, and he only blinked an eye before he reached the other party's approach, and the spirit spear in his hand stabbed forward, and the spirit cultivator didn't even have a chance to react, and was stabbed in the lower abdomen by Gu Chen.
In the ear chakra, a thud was heard, and Gu Chen's powerful and extremely fast shot directly pierced the opponent's body.
The spirit cultivator screamed until he died, and his body was still hanging on Gu Chen's spirit spear.
Yan Xi saw Gu Chen's skills for the first time, it can really be described as amazing, when she first saw Gu Chen, she felt that this young man's cultivation was profound, and the spiritual pressure revealed was extremely strong, and now seeing his shot, Yan Xi felt that she still underestimated him.
Gu Chen shook his gun and threw the corpse down, and at the same time snorted coldly, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Drag it down" Hearing his order, people woke up like a dream, and they stepped forward one after another, pulling the other party's corpse outside.
Gu Chen looked back and saw that his uncle had sat back on the horse with the help of everyone, and was wiping cold sweat with palpitations.
He shook his head secretly and walked towards the house with his gun in hand.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Yan Xi chased after him with a spirit sword, Gu Chen glanced at her and asked, "What is Miss Yan doing when you come in?"
Yan Xi smiled and said, "Naturally, I will help you capture the assassin."
"There's no need for that."
Gu Chen didn't appreciate it, waved his hand proudly, and said, "If Miss Yan really wants to help, stay outside to protect my uncle for me, as for capturing a few assassins, it is enough for me and the soldiers."
Yan Xi still wanted to speak, but Gu Chen had already strode away.
The hot face was attached to a cold ass, Yan Xi also felt helpless, although she didn't have much contact with Gu Chen, she could also feel that this person was arrogant and self-endowed, if she insisted on helping him, it would make him feel that he looked down on him.
Yan Xi didn't go inside again, quickly exited the door of the house, and stood back by Gu Chong's side.
It took Gu Chen two teas to enter the house, and the battle in the mansion was over in about half an hour.
Although the scale of this battle was not large, the soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion suffered a lot of casualties, as many as three or four hundred, but they also killed five enemy spirit cultivators and captured six people, of which three were killed by Gu Chen alone, and the other two were captured alive by him.
When the battle was over, Gu Chen immediately ordered the scene to be cleaned up, and personally led people to escort the six captured cultivators back to the lieutenant's mansion for interrogation.
Gu Chen is a master of spiritual martial arts, but he is not a master of interrogation, his interrogation method is simple and rude, that is, he constantly tortures.
The six cultivators were very tight-mouthed, no matter how he was tortured, they insisted on coming to Yancheng to do business.
How could Gu Chen believe such nonsense, they had a lot of money on them, but they hoarded no goods, besides, how could there be more than ten people who were in business and were also spiritual cultivators Seeing that Gu Chen had no other means than torture or torture, Yan Xi secretly shook her head, she suggested to Gu Chen, go to the house where these spiritual cultivators lived and search carefully, if they were really assassins, there must be clues in the house.
Gu Chen thought about it carefully and felt that what Yan Xi said was reasonable, so he immediately sent his shrewd and shrewd people to the house again and searched again.
But these people from the Lieutenant's Mansion searched the house almost to the bottom, found nothing, found nothing, and finally had to come back and want Gu Chen to recover his life.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Gu Chen looked at Yan Xi, and the expression on his face was undoubtedly saying: It is useless to search for these people, and you have to use strong means to deal with these people.
Yan Xi disagreed, thinking that there must be something wrong with the people in the Lieutenant's Mansion, so she took her four subordinates and went to the mansion in person to find clues.
Yan Xi is a ranger himself, and naturally he knows the habits of a ranger best.
She walked from room to room in the house, looking east and west, and really didn't find any problems.
After searching twice, she walked to the middle of the courtyard and stood still, meditating in her shoes, if she was one of these Ning people, and if she was really an assassin, then where would she hide the weapon she used to carry out the assassination Soon, her eyes were attracted by an old tree in the courtyard, and she subconsciously stepped forward, first raised her eyes to look at the fork of the tree, and then knocked on the trunk of the tree, but found nothing abnormal, and while she was frowning and pondering, suddenly the grass under her feet was a little unusual.
The grass was neat everywhere, but the grass in front of the trees was very messy, and it was obvious that people were walking around it a lot.
Yan Xi slowly squatted down, touched it slowly, and then stretched out her hands, grabbed the grass, and lifted it up violently, with a bang, a piece of turf more than two feet long was pulled off the ground by her.
Looking down, there was a deep square pit under the turf, and a wooden chest was placed inside.
Yan Xi's eyes lit up, and he threw away the turf and carefully lifted the box.
This box is not light, even Yan Xi has to use all his strength.
After she lifted the box, her subordinates immediately stepped forward and checked it carefully to make sure that there was no mechanism, and then slowly opened the lid of the box.
People want to take a look inside, okay, the boxes are stored in the special crossbow machines of the Wind Country Army, count them one by one, there are more than ten units, and under the crossbow machine, that is, at the bottom of the box, there are dense crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows are specially made, made of pure steel, if the person using the crossbow machine is a spiritual cultivator, then it is completely possible to spiritualize the crossbow arrows, so that they shoot spiritual arrows.
No wonder the box was so heavy, Yan Xi sneered, picked up a crossbow arrow casually, and looked at it carefully, it was exactly the same as the crossbow arrow shot by the assassin who assassinated them during the day.
This is ironclad evidence, and putting these things in front of those Ning Ren cultivators is enough to break their psychological defenses.
Yan Xi made the trip worthwhile and returned to the lieutenant's mansion with a wooden box.
Gu Chen was also taken aback when he saw the contents of the wooden box, he didn't expect that Yan Xi would really be able to find out the evidence, nor did he expect that these Ning Ren Spiritual Cultivators who claimed to be merchants were really the assassins who assassinated the Great King.
With these things, Gu Chenke came to his senses and once again refreshed the six captured spirit cultivators, this time he was interrogating them separately one by one.
Without evidence, the Ning Soul Cultivators could still be hard-mouthed, and now that the evidence of the crime had fallen into Gu Chen's hands, they had no way to deny it, so they could only deal with it in silence.
Seeing that the evidence was in front of them, they still refused to confess, Gu Chen was about to move the execution, but was stopped by Yan Xi again, who offered to let her come to trial.
In fact, things have progressed to this point, Gu Chen can already confess to Tang Yin, after all, the evidence is ironclad, even if they don't confess, it is enough to convict them.
However, he didn't want to waste this rare opportunity, he wanted to do it perfectly, give the king a complete confession, and by the way, also frustrate the sharpness of the dark arrow and the majesty of the long lieutenant's mansion.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked Yan Xi to interrogate the Assassin.

Yan Xi's interrogation was much more skillful than Gu Chen's, coaxing, deceiving, and scaring him, and he used all the tricks of fiction and reality.
During the interrogation, she first made her interests clear, and confessed the truth not only to exonerate herself, but even to be reused by the imperial court, and if she refused to confess, not only would she suffer, but even her family members in Ningdi would be implicated, and it was also possible for the nine clans to be implicated.
Then she used deceitful means to explain with a shameless face that everyone else has already confessed, but you are not the only one, and in the end, others can be exonerated and promoted to become rich, and only you want your whole family to die, is it worth it Yan Xi's statement to every Ning Cultivator is basically true and false, it is impossible for everyone to be fooled, but not everyone is immune.
When she interrogated the fourth person, the Ning Ren Spiritual Cultivator finally couldn't hold it anymore and shouted hoarsely, "They all admit it."
"Of course."
The old god of Yan Xi nodded, and took out a few confessions that seemed to have been signed and drawn, shook them in front of the man's eyes, and said, "They have told everything they know, when do you really want to dig your own grave for yourself and your family?"
Her heart-attacking tactics were very successful, and the Ning Ren Spiritual Cultivator gritted his teeth and scolded a soft bone, and then, nodded at Yan Xi, and said: "That's right, we are the dead man who assassinated Tang Yin, the leader of the wind thief, and today Lao Tzu fell into your hands, and if you want to kill you, you can kill it, but this matter has nothing to do with my family."
Hearing him say this, Yan Xi didn't ask any more questions, and handed over the following matters to Gu Chen.
It's a ripple effect, and as long as you open a person's mouth, the rest of the matter is much easier.
Through this person's confession, Gu Chen interrogated the previous few people again, and without saying anything, he directly put the confession of the person just now in front of them.
Seeing the confessions of their companions, the psychological defense of these tortured cultivators completely collapsed, and five of the six confessed that they had participated in the assassination of Tang Yin.
However, they are only participating, not decision-makers, the decision-makers of this assassination operation are against the wind and the left envoy Zixu, after the failure of the operation, Zixu has quietly left Yancheng, leaving them to continue to lurk, looking for opportunities.
All of the Assassin's confessions can be assumed to be facts.
Gu Chen did not delay any longer, and had the assassin secretly transferred out of the prison and placed in another hidden place, and sent someone to strictly guard him.
Then, with his confession, he went to the palace with Gu Chong and Yan Xi overnight to see Tang Yin and report the situation.
At this time, it was late at night, and when they arrived at the palace, Tang Yin had already fallen asleep, and the guards outside the palace stopped them.
Gu Chong stepped forward and said with a smile: "We have something urgent to see the king."
The guards of the palace don't care what rank you are, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, you have to look at their faces, the guards sneered one after another, and the captain of them arched his hand and said: "General Gu, I'm sorry, the king has rested, and no one is seen."
Gu Chong still spoke, Gu Chen stepped forward, grabbed the captain of the guard by the collar, lifted it up, and shouted: "The matter is urgent, if you delay the time, you can't save ten heads."
The palace guards are also used to being arrogant on weekdays, who has ever been bullied by others, the captain of the guard screamed, and shouted: "Presumptuous" He raised his fist and slammed it at Gu Chen's door.
The latter would let him hit, and the hand that grabbed him by the collar sharpened, and the tall body of the captain of the guard flew out sideways.
At this moment, the other guards were red-eyed, and people rushed up, surrounding Gu Chen, Gu Chong and Yan Xi, and at this moment, someone in the palace gate shouted in a deep voice: "Stop, what's going on":
