C985

The one who rushed out first was none other than Gu Chen.

His speed was truly as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the other party. He took advantage of the opportunity to thrust the spirit spear in his hand, and that Spirit Cultivator didn't even have the chance to react as Gu Chen's spear pierced into his abdomen.

With a "puchi" sound, Gu Chen's powerful and incredibly fast spear directly pierced through his opponent's body. The Spirit Cultivator screamed. Even until death, his body was still hanging on Gu Chen's spirit spear.

It was Yan Xi's first time seeing Gu Chen's skill, and it could be described as stunning. The first time he saw Gu Chen, she felt that the young man's cultivation was deep, and the Spirit Pressure he revealed was extremely strong, but now that he had attacked, Yan Xi felt that he had underestimated him.

Gu Chen shook his spear and threw the body down. At the same time, he snorted coldly and shouted at the soldiers: "Drag him down!"

Hearing his order, everyone felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. They all stepped forward and began to frantically pull each other's corpses out of the cave.

Gu Chen turned his head to look. Seeing that his uncle had already sat back down the horse with the support of the others, he wiped off his cold sweat with fear in his heart. He secretly shook his head and walked into the mansion with his gun in hand.

The moment he entered the courtyard, Yan Xi caught up with him with the spirit sword in hand. Gu Chen shot her a glance and asked: "Why did Miss Yan come in?"

Yan Xi smiled and said: "Naturally it is to help you capture the assassin!"

"There's no need." Gu Chen didn't appreciate his kindness. He proudly waved his hand and said, "If Miss Yan really wants to help, then stay outside and help me protect uncle. As for capturing a few mere assassins, the soldiers and I will be enough!"

Yan Xi still wanted to speak, but Gu Chen had already walked away with big strides.

With her hot face pressing against his cold butt, Yan Xi felt helpless. Although she didn't interact much with Gu Chen, she could still feel that this person was arrogant and conceited. If she insisted on helping him, she would instead make him feel that she was looking down on him. Yan Xi did not go further in, she quickly exited the house and stood by Gu Chong's side.

Gu Chen only spent the time it took to drink two cups of tea to enter the house, about half an hour later, the battle in the house had ended.

Although the scale of this battle was not large, the number of casualties in the Lieutenant's Mansion soldiers were quite large, reaching 300-400 people. However, he had still killed five enemy Spirit Cultivator s and captured six people, of whom three were killed by Gu Chen alone, and two were captured alive.

Waiting for the end of the battle, Gu Chen immediately ordered the scene to be cleaned up, and personally brought people to escort the six captured Spirit Cultivator back to the Lieutenant's Mansion to interrogate them.

Gu Chen was a Spiritual Martial Expert, he was not an expert on interrogations. His interrogations were simple and crude, he just kept on torturing them.

The six Spirit Cultivator s had very strict mouths. No matter how hard she tried, he always insisted on coming here to do business.

How could Gu Chen believe such nonsense? They did have a lot of money on them, but they did not have any hoarded goods. Furthermore, how could there be more than ten people doing business and all of them being Spirit Cultivator s?

Seeing that Gu Chen could only use torture or torture, there was nothing else he could do, Yan Xi shook her head. She suggested to Gu Chen that they should search through the s' residences once more.

Gu Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that Yan Xi's words were reasonable. He immediately sent his men to the old house to search again.

However, these Lieutenant's Mansion people had searched through the entire house, but didn't find anything, and were unable to find anything. In the end, they could only return and think of Gu Chen to report.

After hearing Subordinate's report, Gu Chen looked towards Yan Xi, his expression undoubtedly saying: How about it? Searching was useless. Against these people, he had to use a forceful method. Yan Xi disagreed, she believed that the people from Lieutenant's Mansion must have overlooked something, so she brought her four subordinates and personally went to the house to look for clues.

Yan Xi was a Ranger herself, so she naturally knew the habits of Rangers the best.

She looked around the house and found nothing wrong. After looking through it twice, she walked to the center of the yard and stood still, putting herself in the meditative position. If she was these people, and if she really was an assassin, then where would she hide the weapon she used for assassination?

Very soon, her gaze was attracted by an old tree in the courtyard. She subconsciously walked forward, first looking at the tree forks, then knocking on the tree trunk, but she didn't find anything out of the ordinary. While she was frowning and lost in thought, the grass beneath her feet suddenly became unusual.

In other places, the grass was neat and only the grass in front of the trees was a mess. Obviously, there were people walking around here often. Yan Xi slowly crouched down and touched it, then she stretched out her hands and grabbed onto the grass, then lifted it up fiercely. With a "hualala" sound, a piece of grass that was more than two feet long was pulled off the ground by her.

Looking down again, there was a square pit under the turf, and a wooden box inside. Yan Xi's eyes lit up, she threw away the grass and carefully picked up the box. This box was not light, even Yan Xi had to use all of her strength. After she brought out the chest, Subordinate immediately went up to check it. After confirming that there was no mechanism, he slowly opened the lid.

People thought to look inside, okay, the boxes were all used by the Feng Country Army to store Crossbow s, counting them one by one, there were more than ten of them, and below the Crossbow s, which were at the bottom of the boxes, were dense layers of crossbow arrows, all of these crossbow arrows were specially made by pure steel, if the person using the Crossbow s was a Spirit Cultivator, then they could transform the crossbow arrows completely and make them shoot out Spirit Arrow s.

No wonder the box was so heavy! Yan Xi sneered, then casually picked up a crossbow arrow. After carefully inspecting it, she found that it was exactly the same as the crossbow arrow that was shot by the assassin earlier in the day. This was ironclad proof, even if they were to put these things in front of those Ningshun Spirit Cultivator s, it would be enough to destroy their psychological defenses.

Yan Xi did not make this trip for nothing, and returned to the Lieutenant's Mansion with the wooden chest.

When Gu Chen saw the contents of the wooden chest, he was also very surprised. He never thought that Yan Xi could find out the evidence, and never thought that these self-proclaimed merchants, the Spirit Cultivator Ning, would actually be the assassins that assassinated the King.2

With these things, Gu Chen became spirited once again, raising his spirits of the six captured Spirit Cultivator s. This time, he wanted to separate them and interrogate them one by one.

Without evidence, Spirit Cultivator Ning was still able to keep his mouth shut, and now that the evidence had fallen into Gu Chen's hands, they had no way of denying it, and could only deal with it in a silent manner.

Seeing that the evidence was right in front of them and they were still unwilling to confess, Gu Chen was prepared to execute her, but he was stopped by Yan Xi and the latter suggested for her to interrogate him.

Actually, since things had progressed to this point, Gu Chen could already report this to Tang Yin. After all, the evidence was as solid as a mountain, even if they did not confess, it would still be sufficient to condemn them.

However, he did not want to waste this rare opportunity. He wanted to do his best, give the King a complete confession, and at the same time, weaken the power of the Dark Arrow and the might of his Lieutenant's Mansion.

He wanted to give it a try so that Yan Xi could interrogate the Assassin. Yan Xi's interrogation was much more skillful than Gu Chen's. She used all of her deceptive tricks to scare her.

If she were to tell the truth, not only would she be exempted from the punishment, she might even be given a high priority by the imperial court. If she were to refuse to confess, not only would she suffer, even her family members in Ning Country would be implicated as well. Then she used a deceitful method to make it clear that everyone else had already said what they wanted, and you were the only one who hadn't. In the end, everyone else would be able to get away with it and rise to the rank of an official, and only you wanted your entire family to die.

Yan Xi told every Ning Spirit Cultivator this kind of truth and falsehood. It was impossible for everyone to be fooled, but not everyone was immune to it. When she reached the fourth person, the Ningshen Spirit Cultivator could no longer hold on, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Did they admit it?"

"Of course." Yan Xi calmly nodded her head, and took out a few confessions that looked like they had already been signed and pawned. She shook them in front of the man and said: "They told us everything that they know, so how long are you going to hide it? Do you really want to dig your own grave for yourself and your family? "

Her heart attack tactic was successful, the Ningshen Spirit Cultivator clenched his teeth and cursed at her. After that, he nodded at Yan Xi and said, "That's right! We are the Death Soldier who assassinated the leader of the Thief Feng, Tang Yin! Today, your father has fallen into your hands. It's up to you guys to kill me or to cut me up, but this matter has nothing to do with my family ? "

After hearing what he had to say, Yan Xi did not ask any further, and left the rest of the matters to Gu Chen.

This was a chain reaction. As long as he opened up a person's mouth, the following matter would be much easier to deal with.

Through his confession, Gu Chen once again interrogated the few people in front of him. Without further ado, he placed that person's confession in front of them.

Witnessing their comrade's confession, these Spirit Cultivator, who had been subjected to torture, felt their mental defenses collapse. Five of the six people confessed in succession, and admitted that they were involved in assassinating Tang Yin. However, they were only involved in it and were not the decision makers. This assassination attempt was planned by the Left Enforcer Zi Xu, and after the operation failed, Zi Xu had already left the Yan City, leaving them to lurk around to search for opportunities.

When the assassin's confession had all come down, it could basically be confirmed that it was the truth. Gu Chen did not delay any longer, and immediately had the assassin be moved out of the prison and be placed in a concealed place, while the assassin be strictly guarded. Afterwards, he brought along his confession letter, and headed to the Duke Palaces the same night with Yan Xi. He saw Tang Yin, and reported the situation to him.

It was already late in the night, and by the time they had arrived at the Duke Palace, Tang Yin had already fallen asleep.

Gu Chong walked forward and smiled apologetically: "We have urgent matters to discuss with the King!"

The guards of the palace do not care what rank you are, in here, even the Heavenly King's father has to see their expressions. The guards all sneered, and the captain of the guards said: "General Gu, I'm sorry, the King has already rested, and no one will be able to see you!"

Gu Chong still had more to say, so he rushed forward and grabbed Guard Captain by the collar and lifted him up: "This is urgent, if you delay it any longer, even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to keep it safe!"

The guards of the manor were used to being arrogant, so how could they have been bullied before? The Guard Captain shouted: "Impudent!" She raised her fist and aimed at Gu Chen's face with all his might. How could the latter be hit by him? The hand grabbing onto his neck steeped, causing the Guard Captain's muscular body to fly out horizontally.

With that, the other guards' eyes turned red, they all rushed forward and surrounded Gu Chen, Gu Chong and along with Yan Xi. Just at that moment, someone inside the Duke Palace shouted: "Stop! "What's going on?"
