"Yes … I pointed it out to him …" Wang Xiao-Nian lowered his head and finally said it.
"Hmm. I see. Mu Cheng-Bai didn't know Ye Xiao at first. Because you met Ye Xiao and Ye Xiao had blackmailed you, you held a grudge against him, so you instigated Mu Cheng-Bai to mess with Ye Xiao. Am I right? "The Crown Prince asked calmly and slowly.
However, the calm voice made Wang Xiao-Nian's heart beat rapidly and he almost passed out.
"… Yes."
Wang Xiao-Nian said the word with difficulty. He could feel the coldness in the Crown Princess's eyes. Wang Xiao-Nian couldn't help but tremble.
"And then?"
"And then they had a conflict. Ye Xiao suddenly attacked. He hit … hit Lord Mu … He knocked Lord Mu to the ground … Lord Mu ordered his men to fight back, but Ye Xiao ran away … Lord Mu and his men chased after him …"
Wang Xiao-Nian's face turned pale. He stammered while sweating all over his head.
"Ye Xiao hit Lord Mu and knocked Cheng-Bai to the ground …" The Crown Prince frowned, "As far as I know, Ye Xiao is known as the 'Three Lords of the Capital', but he is just a foppish playboy … Lord Mu is at the top of the Grade of Renyuan … And he has two bodyguards with him!"
He looked at Wang Xiao-Nian with interest, "Ye Xiao hit Lord Mu? And knocked him to the ground? "
"Yes … That's right …" Wang Xiao-Nian stammered. He was almost paralyzed. He had never dreamed that such a thing would happen to him.
If he didn't set up Ye Xiao, how could this happen?
Ye Xiao, who should have died the most, was fine. But Mu Cheng-Bai, who was known as a superior cultivator, was dead!
Wang Xiao-Nian felt that God was playing a big joke on him!
It was so absurd!
"Oh …" The Crown Prince nodded noncommittally. "Go on."
"Ye Xiao ran away. Lord Mu and his men chased after him … And then … And then I went home …" Wang Xiao-Nian couldn't help but burst into tears. He cried, "Your highness … I don't know what happened after that …"
"You caused this trouble … You provoked them … And then they fought. And you just went home? Now my brother is dead, and you still want to tell me you don't know anything?! " The Crown Princess glared at Wang Xiaonian with resentment. Her voice was filled with a thick killing intent that was not concealed at all.
"I … I … I … Lord Mu wanted to kill Ye Xiao and asked me to avoid arousing suspicion … I … I had no other choice …" Wang Xiao-Nian's nose was full of tears. At the moment, he was truly scared out of his wits.
"Men, drag this incompetent bastard out and behead him!" The Crown Princess ordered furiously, and Wang Xiao-Nian fainted on the spot from fright.
The crown prince waved his hand and said with a frown, "Wang Xiaonian is just an incentive at best. There's no point in killing him, and his subordinates will be disloyal instead. After all, Wang Daonian is in charge of the guards in the mansion … Besides, I think there's something fishy about Cheng Bai's death. "
"Suspicious?" The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows. "What suspicious could there be?"
"Ye Xiao is just a foppish young lord. There is no way he could have killed Mu Cheng-Bai!" The crown prince put his hands on the back and said blandly, "There must be … a force that we don't know … involved in this matter."
His eyes emitted a sharp light, "This matter needs to be investigated in detail."
"But no matter what, it definitely has something to do with Ye Xiao!" The Crown Princess's eyes were full of killing intent, "My brother can't die in vain! This Ye Xiao must be buried with him! "
The crown prince smiled bitterly and said, "This, we need to think about it carefully. Ye Xiao himself is nothing, but his father, Ye Nan-Tian, is in charge of a huge army stationed in the north. He is the pillar of the kingdom! In the north, he can almost cover the sky with one hand. Besides, the situation is very tense now. All the kingdoms are ready to make a move, and wars are happening frequently. The princes of the kingdom are also playing all kinds of tricks … It is definitely not a wise move to kill the son of the greatest general of the kingdom! "
The Crown Princess's face turned cold, "Chen Bang-Guo! This can't be done, that can't be done. Are you telling me that my brother died in vain? "
The crown prince sighed, "Everything has its priorities. We need to think about the big picture … Let's start with Ye Xiao first. If there is really a murderer behind the scenes, if we kill Ye Xiao recklessly, there will be no evidence. The murderer will get away with it. If that happens, my brother-in-law's death will be in vain. "
"Fine. I will wait for your news!" The Crown Princess humphed and quickly walked out with a wave of fragrance. When she reached the door, she turned back, "But this Wang Xiao-Nian, we can't let him off easily!"
"Eighty strokes!" The crown prince frowned, "Life and death are determined by fate."
Eighty strokes for a normal cultivator would be enough to beat him to death. Wang Xiao-Nian was just an ordinary young lord who had been wasted by wine and women. Even though he had some martial strength, it was absolutely not worth mentioning.
If he was really beaten eighty strokes, he would definitely die. The crown prince thought for a while and said, "Let Wang Da-Nian do it himself!"
Wang Da-Nian beat his own son … Can he be beaten to death?
"Humph!" The Crown Princess humphed heavily and turned around to leave.
The crown prince watched the Crown Princess leave. He clapped his hands slowly and said, "How's the investigation going?"
A man in black walked in respectfully and said, "It is basically the same as what Wang Xiao-Nian said. However, there are a few things that are strange."
The crown prince frowned and didn't speak.
"The first strange thing is that everybody saw Ye Xiao really beat Mu Cheng-Bai. However, as far as I know, Ye Xiao could not have done it with his cultivation."
"Because of this, I went to check Mu Cheng-Bai's body and found that … his dantian was injured. However … as we all know, his fatal wound was a knife on his back. It was clean and neat … "
"Then, the injury to his dantian must be a problem. It was obvious that … someone had sealed his Dantian before this. That is why Ye Xiao could beat him down … The one who sealed his dantian must be a super powerful cultivator! "
"A super powerful cultivator …" The crown prince murmured. He paced slowly and nodded, "There is more?"
"Yes. Mu Cheng-Bai was chasing Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao didn't go far. He just turned a corner and hid himself. Then he went home. Someone has seen this before … "
Ye Xiao's trick was indeed effective.
The crown prince frowned even more.
The man in black said, "But Lord Mu still chased him to a mountain, a forest, and a river. Then he was killed. There are too many things that I don't understand. "
The crown prince nodded, "What do you think?"
"I think that the fatal wounds on Lord Mu and the two guards were very smooth … The two guards were stabbed at the same time and one of them had his wrists broken. Obviously, the attacker took the saber away and killed them at the same time! This is not the work of a normal cultivator. Even a normal cultivator at the top of the Grade of Diyuan might not be able to do it. Instead, it is more like … "The man in black hesitated and said," … more like a grandmaster in the art of saber. "
"A grandmaster in the Grade of Tianyuan!"
When the black-clothed man said these six words, it was very strenuous.
The crown prince raised his eyebrows and slowly looked up, "A grandmaster in the Grade of Tianyuan … Are you sure?" There was an inexplicable expression in his eyes.
"Yes." The man in black lowered his head.
The crown prince was silent for a while and said, "So … this has nothing to do with Ye Xiao?"
The man in black hesitated and said, "I'm not sure."
"If there is another force that wants to kill Cheng-Bai, who is it? Why? "
The crown prince asked thoughtfully.
His voice was filled with a gloomy qi.
The man in black stood there with his hands down. He didn't dare to say a word.
The crown prince was just talking to himself. It wasn't a question that he needed to answer. And he didn't dare to answer.
There were too many things involved in this.
The crown prince squinted his eyes and said blandly, "Let's start with Ye Xiao first …"
"Yes."
"As for the other findings … Put them aside for now."
The crown prince turned around and waved his yellow robe. He left calmly.
However, the man in black had a strange expression in his eyes. After following the crown prince for so many years, he knew that the more the crown prince acted like he didn't care about something, the more he cared about it in his heart!
He had kept it in mind.
But why did he have to put it aside?
There was a trace of fear in the man's eyes. It was as if he could foresee … a bloody storm in the royal palace in the near future!
There was one thing he didn't dare to say. Even if Ye Xiao couldn't kill Mu Cheng-Bai, it might not be the other princes who did. Among the eight noble clans, the other clans would love to see Mu Cheng-Bai die for nothing.
However, he could only suppress this thought in his heart.
…
At the moment, Ye Xiao was still sitting with his legs crossed. He was carefully feeling the accumulation of the spiritual qi in his dantian. This feeling was exactly what he liked the most.
Because it made him feel like he was getting stronger … That kind of feeling.
In fact, which martial artist wouldn't be infatuated with this feeling?!
While Ye Xiao was feeling light-headed and intoxicated, the steward quietly walked in and coughed.
Ye Xiao was immediately woken up by the sound of the steward's voice, "What is it?"
The steward looked at Ye Xiao's posture and felt surprised. He said, "Young master, there is one thing I need you to confirm."
"What is it?" Ye Xiao frowned.
"Did you kill Mu Cheng-Bai?" The steward looked at Ye Xiao and asked in an extremely straightforward tone.
It was a simple question, but it shocked Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was moved by the steward's words. He felt more and more that this steward of his was not simple at all.
