Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 58: The Return of the Troops
When everyone heard the three words "Tang Mingzhi", they all thought of the recent rumors.

She claimed to be Han Ruize's sister. Not only did she use the Wanyue Blood Whip at the Dengyun Heroes Conference, she also made the Wanhen Palm, which had been lost for hundreds of years, reappear in the world.

Recently, I heard that she was favored by the emperor again and frequently entered the palace. Her fame rose rapidly and everyone knew her.

Because she had some relationship with His Majesty and former Left General of the Cavalry Han Ruize, everyone looked at the center of the crowd, Duke Duan Ding Gu Jinheng.

The pressure around him did not change, and Duke Duan Ding did not seem to have any emotional changes.

Ju Yan observed his expression and said, "Let them in."

Someone immediately went out to pass on the message, and the guards relaxed their guard and let Pei Nai and Yi Xi in.

Except for Ju Liancheng who was staring at Yixi who came in, everyone else's eyes fell on Pei Nai. Duan Dinggong's eyes swept over her without a trace of emotion.

"Miss Tang is an excellent martial artist and has a wide range of knowledge. Can you come forward and examine the body to see if you are familiar with this method of killing?" The Censor looked up and said.

Pei Nai had no time to speak.

At this moment, the coroner who was performing an autopsy on the assassin suddenly looked up and said, "He died of poison. The poison spread throughout his body in an instant."

Lin Shengtao frowned and said, "Committing suicide out of fear of punishment?"

This possibility is not impossible.

After all, after receiving the news, the Imperial Guards surrounded Li's Mansion very quickly.

However, the assassin ran into Ju Liancheng at this time. When he was captured, he knew that he had no hope of escape. In order to keep the secret, he chose to end his life.

The Censor lifted up the dead assassin's arm again, and when he pulled up his sleeve, a few purple marks were faintly visible.

Gu Jinheng, who was standing at the back of the room, suddenly said, "There are others."

He made a conclusion directly. Everyone was still a little confused, but they all knew the weight of every word of Duke Duan Ding.

Ju Yan has followed Gu Jinheng for many years, so he naturally understands the information contained in these four words.

He immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "Pass the order down and conduct a large-scale search of the Li Mansion. Every relevant person except the guests should be searched one by one to check for suspicious people. If no results are found, all guests should also be checked one by one."

After the order was given, everyone fell into a state of panic again.

Pei Nai had to admit that Gu Jinheng was still decisive in his actions. Even at such a critical moment, no one could guess what he was thinking.

Perhaps there is really nothing in this world that can make Gu Jinheng lose his composure.

Pei Nai shifted her thoughts back to the topic. She looked at Ju Liancheng's wound and saw that it had been bandaged. She felt relieved.

Ever since she was reborn, she has been investigating the real reason why the monk Zhongchuan called her back.

But she still had no clue. The only abnormal thing recently was the serial murders of officials.

Although she had her doubts about this, she never had the opportunity to come into direct contact with the case and was unable to find clues.

This is also a good opportunity.

She didn't even bother to look at Gu Jinheng, and silently followed Yi Xi and stood behind Prince Guangping.

After they came in, the coroner determined the cause of the assassin's death.

Everyone was busy checking the body and forgot about her.

The Minister of War Li Zhi died by spear, which was exactly her area of expertise.

She quietly moved forward a few steps, trying to judge the method of the gunman by the wounds on the body.

The Censor pulled open the assassin's sleeve, revealing the bruise on his wrist.

The scar followed the direction of the blood vessels and almost reached the upper arm. The darker the scar got, the higher it went.

Pei Nai was shocked. This technique had some resemblance to the Shanyin Sect.

Applying strong pressure from a distance can severely damage the heart meridians and cut off the flow of blood. It is even somewhat similar to Gu Jinheng's martial arts.

"Report!" someone outside shouted urgently.

Everyone looked outside and saw the guards rushing in, clasping their hands and reporting, "We caught a suspicious person."

"Bring it up." Gu Jinheng said lightly.

The guards pressed forward a man in menial clothes.

The man kept his head down, so people couldn't see his expression clearly. From this angle, he just looked ordinary, so no one would pay much attention to him in the crowd.

"My Lord, this is the stuff we found on him."

The guard walked directly to the back of the room and respectfully handed the rolled-up picture to Gu Jinheng. Gu Jinheng unfolded the picture in the air.

Everyone wanted to know what had caused the Minister of War to suffer such a tragic death, but no one dared to get closer to take a look.

"Military deployment map." Gu Jinheng took a look and tightened the scroll.

Everyone was horrified, and couldn't imagine what would happen if this thing fell into the hands of the enemy.
Jiang Yueteng's eyes widened with anger as he said to the man: "Who on earth are you?!"

Unexpectedly, the man raised his head in vain, and his messy hair covered half of his face, making people feel eerie.

He said a series of silent words with a smile.

Every time he opened his mouth, countless blood flowed down along his lips, bringing infinite horror to people.

That sentence also caused a huge wave in everyone's heart.

"Wu Clan. World"

He fell slowly to the ground with his eyes open.

The Censor walked over, pried open the man's mouth and confirmed that he had taken poison.

He must have hidden the poison in the innermost part of his gums in advance, and committed suicide by swallowing the poison after the truth was revealed.

This is a member of the Wu clan. I wonder how many spies there are in Chaoyang City, like him, hiding everywhere.

Now that he is dead, there is no way to trace back to the superior who gave him the order.

There was one more corpse and there was no point in leaving it here, so the censor asked his men to drag it away first and go to the Supervisory Office to look for clues on the corpse.

Considering their old friendship, Prince Guangping wanted Li Zhi to die with dignity, so shortly after the Censor left, he approached Li Zhi's body, squatted down and pulled the spear out of the corpse.

In order to free his hands to tidy up Li Zhi's clothes, he handed the spear back.

Pei Nai happened to be nearby, so he took it.

Her attention was also on Li Zhi's body at this time. When Prince Guangping handed it to her suddenly, she took it subconsciously.

But she forgot that her habit of receiving guns was different from that of ordinary people.

Although the Pei family's way of holding the gun is not much different from that of other factions, the action of receiving the gun is unique to this faction.

Separate the middle finger and ring finger, and place them tightly together with the index finger and little finger respectively.

Bend your four fingers slightly at the same time and use the gaps between them to hold the gun body.

This makes it easier to change the direction of the gun in an instant, which a normal person may not be able to control or even exert force.

But if you have been holding a gun like this since childhood, your fingers will have been trained and flexible, and it will become an invaluable weapon to defeat the enemy.

After all, on the battlefield, a momentary change can reverse everything.

No one noticed this detail except Gu Jinheng.

Han Ruize's adopted sister, the Wanyue Blood Whip that suddenly appeared in the world, and the Zhongchuan monk who suddenly came to Beijing.
She is clearly just an unmarried girl in the backyard, but she possesses the inner strength to break his Shenqi Yin Gong.

Suddenly all coincidences are no longer coincidences.

The guesses that emerged in Gu Jinheng's mind made his heart tremble heavily, and immediately something took root and sprouted, and he could not hold it back.

He picked up a porcelain cup from the table beside him, and without any hesitation, he waved his hand and threw it straight towards Pei Nai and Yi Xi.

Gu Jinheng was certain that she could block the porcelain cup back, and what he wanted to test was just the way she fought back.

If, if she raised the gun with her thumb, swung it forward, and then used the tip of the gun to smash the porcelain cup back to its original position, then.
Gu Jinheng really understands Pei Nai. Countless experiences from childhood to adulthood have trained Pei Nai to be agile.

As a result of his instinctive reaction, Pei Nai couldn't hide.

She really did it.

The porcelain cup could not withstand such a blow and shattered in the air. The largest piece of the porcelain cup fragment was driven towards Gu Jinheng by the spear.

He did not dodge, but caught the porcelain piece that was supposed to hit his head with an extremely fast speed.

The huge impact cut his palm, but he unconsciously squeezed it tighter, as if he didn't feel any pain.

But blood immediately flowed down along the lines of his palm, and drops of dazzling dark red fell to the ground.

The army returns arrows.

　Little Pei Nai was discovered
