At the same time, a loud gong sounded.
"Go out and see."
Li Xiao frowned instantly, preoccupied.
Several people came outside the tent.
"What's wrong?" Li Changge asked suspiciously.
Li Xiao looked at Li Junxian and asked, "Where are Xue Rengui and Wang Qingxue? Did you come back?"
Li Junxian shook his head, and said with a serious face: "No."
"The king of Han and the king of Wei didn't come back..."
Li Changge glanced at the score list, his eyebrows slightly clustered.
In the end what happened?
Li Xiao was extremely confused.
When they were in Yunlan Bieyuan yesterday, someone had already announced the end time of the competition.
It is impossible for Xue Rengui not to know.
Unless there is something to get rid of, I will definitely come back on time.
What's even more weird is that even Li Ke and Li Tai didn't come back.
You know, his two elder brothers are rushing to the top of the list.
Once the time is up, the game is over, and even if there are prey back after that, it will not count.
Whether it is Xue Rengui, Li Ke, or Li Tai, Li Xiao believes that they will never make such a low-level mistake.
"Changge, have you fought Xue Rengui before?" Li Xiao asked after thinking about it.
"good."
"Have you noticed anything unusual about them?"
"Being sneaky, isn't that unusual?" Li Changge said expressionlessly.
"This..." Li Xiao smiled wryly, "I did ask them to find out about King Han's situation, it's normal to be sneaky."
After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "Where did they go after you fought? Did you go back to Hanwang?"
"They left, but I don't know where they went." Li Changge said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Xiao frowned and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?" Li Changge asked doubtfully.
"No need." Li Xiao shook his head, "You are injured, so don't run around and work hard, or all previous efforts will be wasted."
"Go back and rest early, medicinal materials and prescriptions, I will send someone to your house later."
"If necessary, feel free to send someone to look for me." Li Changge nodded.
She knew her current physical condition and couldn't help her.
After finishing speaking, she took a few ministries to the toilet and left.
After Li Changge left, Li Xiao suddenly asked Li Junxian, "Uncle Li, where is the guy we captured alive?"
"I have sent someone to send it out, and I should have returned to the villa by now." Li Junxian said thoughtfully.
After thinking for a while, Li Junxian continued: "Your Highness, maybe Xue Rengui is delayed by something, maybe he will be back soon."
Li Xiao murmured: "Maybe..."
At this time, the children of the surrounding aristocratic families also started talking curiously when they saw that the competition was over.
"Strange, this game is over, why didn't you see King Han and King Wei?"
"Yeah, I thought the two Highnesses would compete with the King of Yue for the first place in the competition, but I didn't expect to give up."
"How could it be possible to give up? Let me tell you the truth. All the prey I waited for were given to His Highness the King of Han. Yesterday he had no less than four thousand catties of prey."
"Will something happen?"
"Nonsense, what can happen to your Highness with so many guards? Even if you encounter a big bug, you can easily kill it."
"Then what if there are assassins?"
"..."
Listening to the discussions of the children of the surrounding aristocratic families, Li Xiao's face became more and more ugly.
Suddenly, not far away, Cui Heshan hurried over.
"Your Highness, something is wrong!"
Cui Heshan looked serious.
"Go in and talk!"
Li Xiao led the way into the tent.
Cui Heshan quickly followed in.
Li Xiao frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"The King of Han has been assassinated!"
"What's going on? Tell me clearly! Is the person still alive?" Li Xiao asked solemnly.
"Alive!"
Cui Heshan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Just now one of King Han's bodyguards sneaked back to the camp, covered in blood, he just said 'go and save King Han', and then passed out, at this moment, Doctor Sun is trying to rescue him."
"The lower official has already sent someone to look for it in the paddock, but there is no more information, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"I'll go take a look." Li Xiao was about to leave after finishing speaking, but suddenly turned around and said, "The information is kept secret, the camp is sealed off, and no one is allowed to go out!"
"Yes! This officer thinks the same way. He has already sent someone to do it. Your Highness should save them first!" Cui Heshan said anxiously.
Not to mention how depressed he was.
With such an errand, if the King of Han really died inside, he would have to bear the blame.
Li Xiao followed Cui Heshan to a tent in a corner.
On the bed in the tent, lay an unconscious guard.
When Sun Sinian saw Li Xiao coming in, he immediately got up and stepped aside, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this person has eighteen wounds, ranging in severity, and he was unconscious due to excessive blood loss. The old man has stopped the bleeding. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up."
"Well, you've worked hard, leave it to me!"
Li Xiao nodded, then went to check the pulse of the guard on the bed.
After a while, he took a pill out of the package and gave it to him.
Not long after, the guard woke up faintly.
Seeing this, surprise flashed in Sun Sinian's eyes.
What kind of pill can have such an effect?
As soon as the guard woke up, he subconsciously said, "Go... hurry and save His Highness the King of Han..."
"Location!"
Li Xiao's words were concise and to the point.
"In the……"
"Get your pen and ink!"
Seeing that the guard couldn't explain clearly, Li Xiao immediately ordered, "Can you draw it?"
"can!"
The guard nodded.
After a while, Cui Heshan sent someone to fetch the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The guard picked up the pen, his hands trembling.
Seeing this, Li Xiao took the silver needles, but they didn't sterilize them, so he pricked the guard a few times, and the guard got better.
Not long after, he drew a scribbled map with the route marked on it.
Li Xiao wrote down the map and route, and handed it to Cui Heshan.
"Who is the assassin?" Li Xiao asked while staring at the guard.
The guard said slowly: "About 40 to [-] assassins, all of them are masked in black, and their identities are unknown."
"More than half of the guards around His Royal Highness were killed or injured, and they fled all the way, and the subordinates only escaped to report the letter after a narrow escape."
"Are there any other characteristics? For example, their martial arts and weapons." Li Xiao asked with a frown.
Whether Li Ke is dead or alive, he must find out.
The three princes entered the paddock, but now he is the only one returning.
This will lead to countless suspicions for him.
What's more, Xue Rengui has never been heard from, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive.
"feature?"
The guard froze for a moment, and then said with evasive eyes: "I didn't find any features, and my subordinates fled all the way, so I didn't look carefully."
Li Xiao was keenly aware of the other party's little move, and immediately frowned slightly: "Then you rest, if you think of anything, you need to report it immediately."
"I obey!" The guard nodded.
"Cui Heshan!" Li Xiao looked at the servant of the Ministry of War next to him, and ordered, "Send someone to look for him right away, if you want to see the person if you live, if you want to see the corpse if you die."
"At the same time, send someone to notify the army stationed outside the paddock, be sure to block the paddock as soon as possible, and if you find any suspicious people, try to capture them alive!"
"Subordinate to obey!"
Cui Heshan immediately turned and left.
Immediately, Li Xiao led the people out of the camp.
"Your Highness, he didn't tell the truth." Li Junxian said in a low voice.
"I know." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
Chapter 231: The mastermind behind the scenes
At the same time, in the depths of the paddock jungle, a chase is taking place.
The three fleeing in front of them were Xue Rengui, Wang Qingxue, and a guard.
All three of them were covered in scars, and they couldn't resist.
Behind him, there are dozens of masked men in black tightly biting.
These black-clothed men are vigorous and vigorous, showing agility and briskness as they toss and turn.
Even though Xue Rengui and the others are very powerful, they still can't distance themselves.
"Can you run?"
Suddenly, right in front of Xue Rengui, a figure descended from the sky and stopped in the middle of the road.
This person is about five or sixty years old, dressed in a black robe, wearing a hood, with deep-set eyes, and a long hooked nose that is very conspicuous.
At this moment, he is standing on the ground like this, with his hands on his back, giving people a mysterious and powerful feeling.
But the moment the hooked-nosed old man appeared, Xue Rengui and the others shrank their pupils and their faces turned ugly.
"Commander Xue, the subordinates hold him back, run away!"
The only remaining guard immediately said with a firm expression.
"It's useless……"
Xue Rengui stared at the hooked-nosed old man in front of him, his heart sank.
Two hours ago, when they encountered this mysterious old man, they fled desperately because they lost to him.
