They made a lot of noise at the gate like this, and although the post house was heavily guarded, it was only about a thousand people.
If Xiao Shufang wants to break in, of course these people can't stop it So, the officials of the post house rushed out in a particularly anxious manner, blocked in front of Xiao Shufang, and looked at them, seriously and emotionally: "You'd better calm down and go back and wait for news."
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in prison, but you are gathering people here to make trouble, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will only cause His Majesty to severely punish the Crown Prince."
"Hahaha" Xiao Shufang smiled very unceremoniously, "You should be stupid, if we listen to you, go back and wait for the news, and don't want to find some way to find evidence for the prince, the prince will definitely be killed by this person, who did it, we can't be clearer, get out of the way, don't force Lao Tzu to be hard" The consul of the inn, seeing that Xiao Shufang was unpersuadable, immediately glanced at the attendant beside him.
The attendant understood, and immediately turned around and ran, planning to find the help of the Praetorian Guard, if it weren't for the help of the Praetorian Guard, maybe today's post house would really be turned over by the prince's group of people However, he was about to walk over, Xiao Shufang had already raised one foot, and that leg was in front of him: "I want to move the rescuers" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand twitched, and the whip on his waist suddenly flung out There was a loud "pop", and the stone not far away was hit and shattered in half, as soon as this move came out, the attendant immediately turned pale, and felt that he had an urgency to urinate, and vaguely had the urge to pee his pants Xiao Shumad sneered: "If you want to go, you can go, as long as you are not afraid of the fate of the stone, it will become your fate When Lao Tzu was a bandit in Shili Bazhai back then, he killed people like hemp, and a mere head melon was smashed at once, if you don't believe it, you can try" As soon as he said this, Luo Ziye almost laughed out loud Xiao Shu crazy guy, she had heard it mentioned beforehand, and she had rectified many people, but she had never killed anyone.
Especially before they came to the Prince's Mansion, they had all been registered in the official mansion, and only those who had not injured their lives could come to apply.
At this time, he threatened people, and he pretended to be a murderer The people in the post house were obviously shocked by his violent actions, and they directly forgot that they should go to the government to record, and they never killed anyone.
So at this time, he just looked at him in horror, and the intimidated attendant directly peed his pants at this time, and rushed back to the consul of the post house: "My lord, you better send someone else, villain, villain" Although it is said that if you eat the official meal, you should hand over your life to the imperial court, but the method of sending you to death directly like this is too blind He looked like a cowardly egg, so angry that the face of the post house consul was also red and white, so he simply vented his anger at Xiao Shu: "You rabble, do you know what kind of place this is to openly surround the post house and threaten the imperial court officials."
He said angrily, Xiao Shufang interrupted him very unceremoniously: "Shut up, it's noisy, are the court officials as verbose as you We just want to search the house of those two traitors, you don't have to babble so much, if you don't let it, we will break in" This matter is so troublesome, naturally it is a big trouble, and all the people in the post house have heard it.
The house of Yin Qing, the house of Wu Xiangyang, the lights that had been extinguished were gradually lit at this moment.
Including the room of Xuan Cangyifeng, the lights have also been lit, and Luo Ziye and the others are on the roof of the dark green at the moment And in the house of Yin Qing, almost at the same time, someone rushed in in and said, "The prince is not good, the group of crazy people under Luo Ziye are going to break into the post house." said that they were going to search the room of us and Prince Long Zhao, and suspected that we were the ones who framed Lhotse Night" "Ahem, cough, cough" Ming Yinqing coughed a few times, and his qi was insufficient, so that people could quickly know his current physical condition, which was indeed very bad.
And Dali Siqing and Dali Shaoqing, after watching it for a long time, finally understood why the prince was so confident, and felt that the real murderer behind this matter at night would discuss this matter at night.
She sent her subordinates to gather a crowd to make trouble, and now the matter is so big, the people behind the scenes can't even discuss it When he coughed, someone immediately helped him and patted him on the back: "Lord, don't be angry first" Yinqing's face turned pale and asked, "Can't you stop it?"
The subordinate immediately replied: "Lord Qiqi, it is indeed impossible to stop it."
They brought a lot of people and surrounded the inn.
The people from the post house were going to move the rescue soldiers, but they were also stopped, and looking at the current situation, they should be called in immediately."
As soon as he said this, Yin Yinqing's brows immediately furrowed.
But he quickly stretched out, and said: "They really want to break in and search, and there is nothing that Wu Xiangyang's subordinates did, I just helped them simulate the method of killing people that day in Luoziye."
The letter that Wu Xiangyang invited me to cooperate with has been torn up, and they just came in to search, and they couldn't find anything, which made Luo Ziye bear the charge of conniving at his men to commit murder."
After he said this, the subordinates around him sighed a little speechlessly, although they agreed, but they also felt speechless, he said: "But in this matter, the subordinates have always felt that it is inexplicable that Wu Liuyue does not like Luo Ziye, and wants Wu Xiangyang to harm him, this is their matter of Long Zhaoguo, why do you have to meddle in this, if it is found out that the matter is related to us, it will be harmful to us."
The words that the next person wondered about, after expressing it.
Yin Qing sneered: "The person who went to assassinate Ying Ember last time was wiped out because of the night of Luozi.
How can the king of this account not be counted with him, not to mention, there is Luozi night in one day, this king wants to get rid of Yingying, there will be a stumbling block in front of him, Wu Xiangyang just wants us to help simulate the killing posture of Luozi night on the day Although none of our people came back alive, there were also people not far away who saw it.
It's just to imitate the posture to them, and we didn't kill people, what are we afraid of is that this thing is really broken, we can also pretend not to know, and say that it was just Prince Long Zhao asking for advice."
Before he finished speaking, the next person already understood.
And continued: "Let's say that it was Prince Longzhao who asked, and you don't know what the other party is asking for, it just so happened that your subordinates passed by in front of the Prince's Mansion at that time and saw it, so they helped Prince Longzhao, who knew that in the end Prince Longzhao would do this kind of thing."
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
And exclaimed: "No wonder Prince Long Zhao sent a message that day, after you destroyed the letter, you didn't reply to the letter, and let it be dictated so that no evidence would be left."
As they said this, Dali Siqing and Shaoqing glanced at each other, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
If this matter is really done by the prince, although it is a big deal, it is not out of control.
After all, this is a domestic matter in Tianyao, and if it is disposed of, it will be disposed of.
But right now, a prince and a prince of another country are involved, and this situation is a bit serious, and this one is not handled well, that is, the Three Kingdoms War, but their prince of Tianyao can't die in vain, so they can't treat it as if they didn't hear it Luo Ziyehe glanced at Ying Ying, and things were really similar to what she expected, but speaking of which, it was because of Ying Ying that she offended Ying Yinqing and caused such a incident.
She was curious about Ember's expression after hearing this What she never expected was that as soon as her eyes looked over, the demon quickly rubbed to her side: "Xiao Ye'er, her husband is too beautiful to attract jealousy, so that Ying Yinqing is still thinking about killing me at this time, you have to protect your husband" Lhotse Night: "" Dali Siqing and Shaoqing, looking at this scene, also felt that they had goosebumps, and they were a bit of a posture to come out and sing patriotic songs And after the demon said this, he still seemed to be dissatisfied, and his mouth was slightly half-open, as if he had been thinking for a while.
The pair of evil eyes looked at her again, and continued: "The one who is most jealous and hates her husband's beauty is Feng Wuyan, he almost beat her husband to death because of jealousy last time, and you didn't make the decision for me in that matter."
Dali Siqing and Shaoqing both felt a little shaky when they heard it.
Although it is said that it is Ying Ember who is known as the most beautiful man in the world, but the face of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, which is comparable to that of gods and demons, strictly speaking, is slightly better than Ying Ash, but it is because this man is too beautiful, and both men and women are crazy, so there are more supporters.
It is said that His Royal Highness the Lord Regent is jealous of his beauty That's true Their hearts were speechless, and Luo Ziye was not much better than the two of them. glanced at him, and said speechlessly: "It's clear that he was also seriously injured last time, okay" Although it was because of her intervention that Feng Wuyan was injured.
But because Feng Wuyu was jealous of his beauty, he beat him half to death, such words are too deceitful, they can be regarded as slander at all Ying Ember seemed to want to say something, Luo Ziye picked up Dali Siqing and swept over to the roof of Wu Xiangyang: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business first."
When he heard this, he smiled slowly, the bewitching scenery swayed, and this smile made the Shaoqing of Dali Temple beside him lose his soul instantly. looked at his face stupidly, and his face slowly turned red, however, at the moment when he lost his soul, the man's narrow and evil peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed a little cold and stared at him, where people seemed to be able to see the sword light and sword shadow, and the murderous aura was pervasive.
This made the germination in the heart of Shaoqing of Dali Temple be extinguished in an instant Don't dare to look at Ying Ember again It wasn't until many years later that he remembered this person with a smile of "people like demons in paintings, drunk with a smile", and he could never forget the scene he saw again today, and a smile was so beautiful that it was engraved into people's hearts. easily took away his heartbeat and breathing, and it made people hate to go to the soup for him, and the country was overwhelmed, but this person's smile was only warm when he looked at Luo Ziye Ying Ember grabbed his back collar and quickly landed on Wu Xiangyang's roof.
It doesn't matter what he's thinking.
And right now, Wu Xiangyang is a little anxious at this time, far different from Yin Qing's calmness.
And said loudly: "Immediately tidy up the whole house, and see if there are no flaws left, if there is any evidence found by that group of muddy people, we may not be able to get out of the sky alive."
"But the eldest prince, although it is we who blame Prince Tianyao, it is not us who really killed Wu Xiangyang, and we don't need to" The subordinate frowned and spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Ziye on the roof raised his eyebrows.

She only pointed the finger at the two of them.
Suspicion of Yin Qing is because of the moves, and suspicion of Wu Xiangyang is because of the current situation of Yin Qing alone, if he can't do this, his eyes are above the top, and he will definitely not accept cooperation with ordinary people.
And Long Zhaoguo is strong, and cooperating with Long Zhao does not disgrace his face, so she immediately suspected Wu Xiangyang, but this matter was not done by Wu Xiangyang As soon as he said this, Wu Xiangyang immediately became angry: "I hope that I did this thing, Luo Ziyu has the talisman of the 30,000 water army of Tianyao in his hand, if he gets it, it will be a big help, but you waste, but on the way to kill, you were taken the lead."
Your Highness is really."
When he said this, the whole person's mood became bad, and all kinds of hatred for his subordinates was not made of steel. and gritted his teeth and said: "My father has warned me many times that people from my martial arts family must be above board.
You can't use shady tricks, if this matter reaches the ears of my father, His Royal Highness will inevitably be harshly reprimanded, but the most ridiculous thing is that His Royal Highness has not been killed, and he has not obtained such a reputation and has such a reputation, that is not it" Angry half to death After he said this, the subordinates immediately understood what he meant.
And said very guiltily: "Your Highness, please rest assured that we are incompetent.
Our people have destroyed the evidence against us, and most of the weapons have been thrown at the scene of the crime to frame Luo Ziye. ” "Most of them" As soon as he said this, Wu Xiangyang immediately frowned and looked at him, "Then there are still a few that haven't been thrown there" The subordinate replied: "There are still a small number of them, according to the princess's wishes, quietly buried behind the courtyard of the dark yinqing" When the next person said this, his face immediately showed a treacherous smile, and he seemed to be very proud.
However, as soon as he finished saying this, Wu Xiangyang was furious and strode forward a few times and said coldly: "What did you say?"
Luo Ziye's eyebrows frowned, but he didn't expect that this matter was not done by the two of them.
But it was the two of them who worked together to frame her.
It's that Ying Yinqing is more miserable, he was betrayed by his allies like this, and he was full of thought that there was no evidence or flaws on his side, but he didn't expect that people had buried weapons directly in his backyard Wu Xiangyang's roar fell, and Wu Liuyue's voice immediately came from outside the door: "Brother Emperor, what are you doing so angry Luo Ziyu Although it was not killed by our people, it is inevitable that the matter will be suspected of us."
Xuan Cangyifeng's side, if you want to blame the past, it's not so easy.
If we let Yin Qing carry this black cauldron for us, isn't the imperial sister's idea bad?"
As soon as she finished saying this, Wu Xiangyang immediately scolded: "Ignorant of what kind of person you should be Yinqing, although he is sometimes a little brainless, but he can become the most powerful person on the Fengming throne, do you think he can easily frame him, and in the end it will only make him turn against us, and give us another strong enemy, that's all" After he said this, Wu Liuyue's face turned pale and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Wu Xiangyang went out angrily, intending to let someone deal with the matter.
But it was true that he couldn't swallow it in one breath, turned his head and frowned and reprimanded her: "Stupid and dull, I like to be smart in my own way."
Now that we have offended Luo Ziye, Feng Wuyan may not help Luo Ziye deal with us, and the mysterious person who is Ying Shen is also on Luo Ziye's side right now.
Xuan Cangyifeng's attitude is unknown, but I heard that he only met Luo Ziye at the inn a few days ago, and now the situation is so unfavorable to us, you still have to offend your only ally."
As soon as his words came out, Wu Liuyue knew that she was wrong, and she didn't dare to say anything when she was scolded.
However, a few people on the roof, their minds fell into confusion again, and Luo Ziye pondered deeply, so according to the current situation, these two people are just people who framed them, not real murderers.
So who will the murderers be Dali Siqing and Shaoqing, and will they be suspected of her again As she was thinking so, Dali Siqing nodded at her and motioned for them to leave immediately.
When I heard this, I knew pretty much about it, so I would talk about something when I went back, so as not to make a noise and alarm the people in the house Luo Ziye immediately understood, glanced at Ying Ying, and flew away with the two of them.
And not long after they left.
The window of Xuan Cangyi was suddenly pushed open.
The man was handsome and straight, like a Zhilan jade tree.
Slowly stood up to the window and looked out the door of the inn.
At this moment, Xiao Shufang and the others made a fuss for a while, and it seemed that they were persuaded to do so, so they planned to go back.
In fact, their task is only to make trouble, alarm the masters inside, and make them start discussing this matter.
They didn't really plan to go in, after all, if they just broke in, they would really be guilty of murder And Xuan Cangyifeng's warm eyes looked at the people at the door, and said with a slow smile: "Ziyuan, if I open my mouth, today's Yin Yin Qing and Wu Xiangyang will be doomed because of Wu Liuyue's idiot."
You say, should I speak?"
Mo Ziyuan frowned and stepped forward to take a look.
Immediately understood what Xuan Cang Yifeng meant, and said: "The master is planning to go down and make it clear that he allowed them to search in order to avoid suspicion, if this is the case, Xiao Shufang and the others will not be convicted for trespassing, maybe they are really willing to search."
And we have accepted the search so calmly, Wu Xiangyang and Ying Yinqing have absolutely no reason to refuse to be searched, otherwise it will be tantamount to admitting that they have a problem.
And if the few swords left by Wu Liuyue's order were searched, it would be absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air, and it would take time to melt the swords.
Then the two of them can't be washed away even if they jump into the Yellow River, and the charges of Lhotse Night will definitely be cleared, but " It's just that In this case, they Xuan Cang would offend Long Zhao and Feng Ming at the same time.
Long Zhao is strong, Fengming is the first weapon manufacturing country, most of the world's famous swords, most of them are from Fengming, including military supplies, are also purchased from Fengming. offended one of them, Xuan Cang, who had been dormant for many years and seemed to be weak but in fact, may still have the strength to compete, but if he offended these two powerful countries at the same time, it would be tantamount to putting them in a disadvantageous place Thinking like this, Mo Ziyuan spoke: "Master, this matter is not our business, Luo Ziye and us are not allies, and he has rejected your alliance proposal many times.
In particular, if you really do this and offend the two great powers, I am afraid that it will shake the country's foundation.
You have to focus on the big picture" As soon as his words came out, especially the words "shake the country's foundation and focus on the overall situation", Xuan Cangyifeng quickly became obsessed.
"You're right" He could have gone out right away and said let those people come in and search.
However, that would be tantamount to openly standing on the opposite side of Wu Xiangyang and Ying Yinqing, which has never been his Xuan Cang's consistent style of acting.
In particular, it is impossible for him to make the people of his country face the danger of war for the sake of a Lhotse night He sighed and whispered, "Close the window."
"This time, he can't help Luo Ziye's affairs.
Therefore, it is equivalent to giving up the best opportunity to give Lhotse Ye a favor and finally form an alliance Soon, however, his warm eyes narrowed, and there was a little interest in it.
Wen Sheng said: "But speaking of which, this king is very curious, what will Feng Wuqi and Luo Xiaoqi do about this matter."

Mo Ziyuan nodded, feeling that the master's choice was correct.
However, after a while, Xuan Cangyifeng thought about it, and finally said: "Go and give Luo Ziye some tips" He couldn't interfere, so let Luo Ziye understand it himself.
People who can understand Ling Xiaohua, he doesn't want the other party to die so early.
"Yes" Luo Ziye frowned, and left with the two people of Dali Temple with Ying Ash.
After leaving the inn, they were put down.
And Dali Siqing looked at her expression, and also knew her mood in front of her, and bent down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although the murderers are not Wu Xiangyang and Yin Yinqing, but the old minister believes that the prince did not expect this.
So the prince won't know either.
You take us there, and what you hear will be such an ending, and the old minister still believes that this matter was not done by the prince."
And after his words fell, Shaoqing of Dali Temple also immediately spoke: "Weichen and Master Zhang have the same opinion, especially after listening to today's this, although we can't determine who the murderer is, but what can be determined is that the so-called evidence against the prince who was present that day is actually all false, so the prince should also be the one who was cleared of suspicion."
After listening to this, Luo Ziye's heart was a little lighter, but it was still relatively heavy in general, because there was no definite evidence to exonerate him.
So he only arched his hand and said: "Thank you two adults for your trust, and tonight, it is indeed the prince who is offended."
After she said this, Dali Siqing immediately said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks that we can't continue to waste time here, this matter is a big matter.
The old minister should immediately go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty and see what His Majesty meant.
Although the two people in the post house are not the real murderers, they can't escape the charge of framing the prince.
It's just that they are all powerful people from other countries, and the old minister can't rashly take the people of Dali Temple to search, and if one is not handled well, it will cause war.
Therefore, the old minister must enter the palace at night, please make a decision to your majesty."
As soon as he said this, Luo Ziye immediately nodded: "In that case, please do it."
And the Shaoqing of Dali Temple also immediately said: "Please rest assured, if this matter really has nothing to do with the prince, the minister and Lord Zhang will definitely return justice to His Royal Highness."
"Thank you" Lhotse immediately surrendered.
However, before leaving, the Dali Siqing glanced at Luo Ziye, and then said: "But the prince's escape from prison tonight, as well as the matter of trespassing into the house, when this matter is over, the old minister will also ask His Majesty to make a decision and deal with it well, and also ask the prince to return to the prison immediately after dealing with the matter, so as not to make more and more mistakes and the old minister will retire."
"What" Luo Ziye twitched the corners of his mouth, stood in place, and watched the two politely say goodbye and leave.
This is really iron-faced and selfless, and he can't rub a little sand in his eyes Both of them retired, and Luo Ziye still stood a little stunned and looked at them.
It's really Ying Ember glanced at her, and sighed leisurely: "If you are just now, you order Xiao Shufang and them to break in and search."
Find those knives, right now, Wu Xiangyang and Yin Qing will definitely not be able to escape, and they will bite each other.
Then the truth that you were framed will also surface, and the suspicion will be completely cleared.
But why are you?"
At present, the people of the official mansion, without the emperor's will, it is impossible for them to go in and search for any reason, and if the people of the prince's mansion do not go in, they may soon destroy the corpses of those things, and when the time comes, it will become Luo Ziye.
She glanced at him: "I thought you understood" After she finished speaking, he immediately nodded: "I understand that it's just for the lives of others, hanging your own sex in the air, especially if the other party is just a subordinate, do you think it's worth it?"
"When they decided to stay in the Prince's Mansion, they decided to believe in me no matter what, and even if I did, they were willing to continue to support me.
They are no longer my subordinates, they are my brothers and friends, I can't care about their lives or deaths," Luo Ziye shook his head, his eyes firm.
If she let Xiao Shufang take people in, even if she found those things, then what about the end In the end, her suspicion was cleared, and Wu Xiangyang and Ying Yinqing were in danger.
But Xiao Shu was crazy and they broke into the post house privately, and they really broke in, this is the capital crime of killing the head, even if he finds out the truth that he was framed, his father feels that he has merit, but he will not easily forgive, and the lightest is the main offender who killed the head, and the accomplice was assigned to the frontier The state has national laws, especially from the words of Dali Temple Qing Fangcai, it is not difficult to hear that she is a prince, even if she escapes from prison for a reason, and will go back immediately.
They will all be reported to the emperor for disposal, and they will not be indulged, let alone Xiao Shu crazy them After she said this, Ying Ember also understood what she meant, and sighed: "You can see it thoroughly" The state has national laws, and breaking into a post house and threatening the safety of the royal family of another country has been the same as the crime of breaking into the palace and rebelling for generations, and it is impossible to be indulged lightly.
It's just: "It's just that if Xiao Shufang knows that there is still a sword hidden in it, and he also knows the stakes in it, even if you don't agree, he should rush in and seek justice for you."
Luo Ziye nodded: "That's it, I won't let him go in and get help is not easy, people's sincerity is also difficult to find, this must be cherished, and it will be cherished So, if my life must be exchanged for the lives of other people who help me, I would rather die than me, things have not reached the point where someone must die."
I don't think this matter has reached a dead end. ” Ying Ember listened, but just asked: "If the person who plans to help you with your life is me, will you also sacrifice yourself to protect me like you did with Feng Crazy Xiao?"
Luo Ziye glanced at him: "Yes, so I hope none of you do this" Speaking of which, Ying Ember smiled, and was just about to open his mouth to propose.
In fact, it's very simple, her people can't do it, and the people in the government can't do it, but their own people can pretend to be an assassination, and the people in the post house, of course, will go to escort them, and then turn those things out in the fight, which is not a bad way.
However, at the same time, Luo Ziye's heart moved, and the lightning flashed in his mind, and he also thought of a way to set fire If you go to the post house to set a fire, the fire does not need to be too big, and the people in the post house will go to put out the fire.
Then they secretly turned everything out and threw it in front of everyone's eyes At the same time, a person also walked over on the street, carrying a gong and drum in his hand, and struck it heavily: "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle" Luo Ziye glanced at it with deep eyes and jumped into the air.
Now it's not the third watch, nor is it the fourth watch, but suddenly someone came to beat like this and said "be careful of the candle", it is no accident, it must be to remind her.
Although she had already thought of the same method herself, the other party did intend to remind her.
Such a strategic strategy should be She thought about it, and Ying Ash's eyes also looked meaningfully in the direction where the Xuan Cangyi Wind Post House was located.
That person, did he even intervene to help Luo Ziye, isn't this not that person's style.
It was a lively night.

And when the moon was in the middle of the sky, His Royal Highness the Regent, who had thought that they would have to breathe for at least three hours, had already breathed and suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment those pair of demonic pupils opened, they were immediately covered by demonic power, which made people bow their heads and tremble Seeing this, Yan Lie, who was outside the door, immediately went in to report: "Wang, the emperor has decreed that the crown prince has been imprisoned.
However, our people found out that the prince had escaped from the cell at this moment, and he was outside to investigate the matter."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Wuyu had already gotten up.
There was a cold anger in those demon eyes: "Immediately send an order, no one is allowed to imprison the prince."
The lonely ones are also shut up by them."
With that, he had gone out of the door, intending to find Lhotse.
Yan Lie frowned and said, "Yes, but the current situation is very serious, and after all the clues were found in Wu Xiangyang and Yin Qing, they were broken."
But all indications show that it was not the two of them who killed the people.
If this continues, it will be difficult for the prince to get away with it."
After he finished speaking, he only saw the arrogant back of his own king.
His cold and magnetic voice only spit out one sentence, and the person had already strode out: "I can't find out, Lone is guilty of his life for Luo Ziyu, Lone wants to see what they can do."
