A mysterious expert had killed two people in the Dark Thunder Manor. One was the supervisor of the Dark Thunder Guards, and the other was the adopted son of Eunuch Gao.
Although Yu Ruifeng had sealed off the news, the commotion caused by Leng Shiqi's attack was not small, especially when Duan Chun died in the crowd. Therefore, the news slowly spread.
At this time, the Western Desolation City was very tense. Ordinary people might not feel much, but the city guards and the Dark Thunder Guards were in a state of panic. They did not dare to be careless in the slightest, for fear that something would happen to the people of the diplomatic mission.
In the end, nothing happened to the diplomatic mission, but the Dark Thunder Guards were the ones in trouble!
As a result, Yu Ruifeng could not help but suspect that it was the work of a certain diplomatic mission!
But on second thought, of the three diplomatic groups that had arrived, the Zhu Lu Country and the Beiliu Country were both vassals of the Thunderblaze Dynasty. No matter how bold they were, they wouldn't dare to assassinate the Dark Lightning Guards.
Therefore, the Great Moon Clan was the most suspicious.
This was only a suspicion. In Yu Ruifeng's opinion, even if the Great Moon Clan did not have good intentions, they would not cause trouble so soon after arriving in the Western Desolation City. Wasn't this too ostentatious? It would be too easy for people to associate it with them.
Yu Ruifeng sat in his study. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He could not figure out who did it, nor could he understand why Gao Yi and Duan Chun were killed.
The two of them did not seem to have any connection. Duan Chun had never even heard of Gao Yi's name. Therefore, the two of them did not seem to have anything in common.
However, the two of them were killed at the same time. It was clear that there was some connection.
"Sigh."
Yu Ruifeng sighed deeply. Investigating the diplomatic mission and secretly protecting them had already given him a headache. Now that such a thing had happened, he did not know how to deal with it.
Duan Chun's death was sudden, but Yu Ruifeng had someone who could temporarily replace the supervisor. At least it would not delay matters.
However, Gao Yi was also dead. How could he explain this to Eunuch Gao?
Leng Shiqi had also disappeared for a long time. If something happened to him, Yu Ruifeng was afraid that Eunuch Gao would directly chop him up with a knife!
He had also specially ordered the city to be under martial law. He even personally tracked the assassin's aura, but in the end, it was to no avail.
He had no choice but to reassign more people to protect Lian Ye and the several great inspectors, hoping that no more accidents would occur.
As for the three diplomatic missions that had already arrived, they were all extremely shocked when they heard the news. There was actually someone who dared to kill someone in the Dark Thunder Manor?
This was a public slap to the Dark Lightning Guards and the Thunderblaze Dynasty's face!
Of course, they were more or less a little worried. Why didn't you kill them earlier or later? Why did you have to kill them after they had entered the Western Desolated City? Wasn't this turning the suspicion onto them?!
Therefore, Zhu Lu Country's King Gus and the other two diplomatic missions were secretly cursing.
Meanwhile, the murderer who killed Gao Yi and Duan Chun was hiding in the Western Desolation City, eating and drinking uncomfortably.
Leng Shiqi had also been to the Western Wasteland City several times, but he hadn't had the chance to take a good stroll. Here, merchants from the six countries of the Western Regions were gathered, and there were all kinds of rare treasures and exotic toys. It was indeed very lively.
In any case, he had already killed the two most suspicious people. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he purposely waited for a period of time before showing himself again. Since he had nothing to do, he would disguise himself and stroll around the Western Desolation City. When he was tired, he would find an inn to stay and slowly cultivate.
Until ten days later, Leng Shiqi swaggered into the Dark Thunder Manor's main gate.
Not long after he walked through the gate, Yu Ruifeng and Lian Ye quickly walked over. Yu Ruifeng smiled from afar and said, "You're finally back."
Leng Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "I ran into a little trouble on the way and was delayed for a while. Sorry for making you worry."
Soon after, the three of them came to Yu Ruifeng's study. Leng Shiqi took out all the information he had gathered in the six countries of the Western Regions.
Yu Ruifeng looked at it with rapt attention for a long time and said, "The information Lord Liu obtained is too precious. What you did alone is enough to match up to several hundred Dark Lightning Guards.
No, this is already not something that can be measured by quantity. It can be said that Lord Liu used your own strength to complete more than half of the mission!
I admire you, I admire you! "
He was full of praise for Leng Shiqi. Lian Ye also looked at Leng Shiqi with sparkling eyes.
Leng Shiqi said a few words of modesty. Then he looked around casually and asked curiously, "Why didn't I see Eunuch Gao Yi?"
As soon as he said this, Yu Ruifeng and Lian Ye's expressions froze. Yu Ruifeng told him what had happened ten days ago in a calm voice.
Leng Shiqi immediately stood up with a shocked look. Then he said angrily, "How lawless!
Who dares to commit murder openly in the Dark Thunder Manor? If I find out who it is, I will skin him alive and pull out his tendons to taste all the punishments in the world! "
Yu Ruifeng said, "Don't worry. I've also been chasing the assassin these days, but unfortunately, I found nothing. It can be seen that the man came prepared.
And the assassin's strength is also very strong. Although he is in the Gang Spirit Realm, he can kill Gao Yi instantly. It's really rare. "
Hearing that Yu Ruifeng didn't find anything, Leng Shiqi was relieved. What he was most worried about these days was that Yu Ruifeng would find some clues.
After all, Yu Ruifeng was the inspector, and his investigation ability was absolutely top-notch. Now it seemed that he didn't suspect Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi sat down and said, "Now the Western Wilderness City is really troubled. I think the most urgent thing now is to ensure the safety of all the diplomatic missions. As soon as all the diplomatic missions arrive, we will set off for the imperial capital immediately."
Yu Ruifeng nodded and said, "I think so too. Two days ago, the diplomatic missions of the Jushi State and the Golden Tribe arrived.
Only the people of the Tuoba State and the Starfall Dynasty are left. When all the diplomatic missions leave the Western Wilderness Prefecture, the pressure on us will be much less.
But … I have reported Gao Yi's death to Eunuch Gao, but I haven't received any reply.
To be honest, I am also prepared to resign from my position as the inspector. "
Leng Shiqi knew that Eunuch Gao would definitely suspect him, so he still had to go through Eunuch Gao. He said, "Gao Yi's death is too strange, but it has nothing to do with Lord Yu. Eunuch Gao is a reasonable person, so I don't think he will blame Lord Yu."
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether he blames me or not."
Yu Ruifeng said carelessly, "I was planning to resign from my position as the inspector to focus on cultivation. Maybe I will have a chance to make a breakthrough."
Leng Shiqi chatted with them for a while, then excused himself. After that, he went into seclusion. Another half a month passed, and the diplomatic missions of the Starfall Dynasty and the Tuoba State arrived at the Western Wilderness City.
Yu Ruifeng and the city lord of the Western Wilderness City hit it off, and arranged for all the diplomatic missions to set off for the imperial capital as quickly as possible.
Of course, these people couldn't use the Inter-Domain Transfer Formation, so they could only walk.
And the speed of the diplomatic missions was very slow, so it would take them about three months to reach the imperial capital. Lei Chengjun's birthday banquet wouldn't be too far away.
On this day, there were hundreds of different kinds of carriages lined up at the east gate of the Western Wilderness City, and there were also thousands of guards standing guard around these carriages.
In places unknown to others, there were also groups of Dark Thunder Guards who were secretly scouting and investigating in advance.
The seven diplomatic missions set off for the imperial capital in such a grandiose manner!
