With Xiao Bingxian's tacit approval, Luo Xiaoyuan immediately felt a little relaxed and told him about the group of assassins he saw.
" As soon as we walked out of the tent, we saw the group of assassins running towards us. They were all wearing black clothes and covered most of their faces, only revealing their eyes. They…had a total of thirteen people. Six of them held sabers, two swords, and one axe. I couldn't name the other weapons, but I could draw them.”
Wu Chijin and Xiao Bingxian were equally surprised when they heard Luo Xiaoyuan's words. What surprised Wu Chijin was that Prince Baiyu could tell him the details of the assassin in such detail. This was completely different from Xiao Bingxian's evasive attitude, especially the surprised expression on Xiao Bingxian's face. It meant that Prince Baiyu's words were also beyond Xiao Bingxian's expectations. This seemed to reveal some intriguing information.
Xiao Bingxian was surprised that Prince Baiyu could see so many things in such a short time!! Other than the fact that they had only met for a very short time and it was midnight, how could he have seen them so clearly? Secondly, this child should have been in a state of extreme fear at that time. How could he be so calm and look at the other party so carefully!! More importantly, could he let this child continue talking like this? Would he say something he shouldn't?
What Xiao Bing was worried about first was naturally what Wu Chijin wanted to know the most. Just as Xiao Bing was about to stop Prince Baiyu from continuing, Wu Chijin spoke first.
" Prince Baiyu is indeed gifted. He can still be so calm in such an urgent situation and see through his opponents. He is indeed the prince of the King of Bai Tianji.
Although Commander Xiao was too eager to protect his master to care about other things, Prince Baiyu knew everything like the back of his hand. We had to get Prince Baiyu to tell us quickly while his memory was still fresh, so as not to miss any important details.”Wu Chijin had used Prince Baiyu as the last chance to solve the case. He wanted Xiao Bing to be unable to stop Prince Baiyu from speaking.
Xiao Bing knew that Wu Chijin was already suspicious. He couldn't let Prince Baiyu say something that he couldn't control. Although he knew that Prince Baiyu wouldn't deliberately ruin his reputation, it would be terrible if he accidentally said something that Wu Chijin could trace.
Although Luo Xiaoyuan was quick-witted by nature, Xiao Bingxian had to try his best to hide his emotions at this moment. He could not reveal his uneasiness in front of Wu Chijin. Therefore, Luo Xiaoyuan naturally could not detect Xiao Bingxian's thoughts at this moment. She only saw that he did not express any opinion on Wu Chijin's speech, so he most likely agreed to let her continue.
"Actually, it's not that Commander Xiao didn't see the assassins clearly, but that Commander Xiao carried me on his back. Firstly, I blocked his line of sight, so he naturally wouldn't notice those assassins. Secondly, the sky was dark, so Commander Xiao could only focus on the road to the Five Beasts Nation.”Luo Xiaoyuan wanted to help Xiao Bing regain some face, so she explained why she could see it clearly but Xiao Bing could not.
"Commander Xiao sure is skilled. He was able to reach the Five Beasts Nation before the assassins even with Prince Baiyu on his back.”Wu Chijin said to Xiao Bing with a half-smile, then looked at Prince Baiyu, signaling him to continue.
"Among the assassins chasing us, three of them were faster. Their weapons slid down my back a few times. Every time, I thought I was going to be hit.”Luo Xiaoyuan spoke so vividly that she subconsciously demonstrated her actions.
The more Wu Chijin listened, the more interested he became. He immediately asked,"Do you remember the posture or position in which they attacked?"”
At this moment, Wu Chijin was holding Prince Baiyu's hand and walking to the wall where the weapons of various countries were displayed. He said," Can we ask Prince Baiyu to help us see which weapon is more similar to the one on the wall? At the same time, we can see the moves of the other party."”
Wu Chijin had two intentions. One was to cut off the eye contact between " Prince Baiyu " and Xiao Bingxian, because Wu Chijin felt that Xiao Bingxian was getting more and more anxious about " Prince Baiyu's " words. The other was to encourage " Prince Baiyu " to talk more. This child didn't seem to be wary, and it didn't seem like they had colluded beforehand.
Luo Xiaoyuan was very excited when she heard Wu Chijin's words. She excitedly pointed at a sword and a knife on the wall because he had the deepest memory of one of the sword and two knives. Wu Chijin immediately took off the two weapons and handed them to Prince Baiyu for him to use.
These weapons were a little heavy for Luo Xiaoyuan, but if it was just for show, it was not too bad. Luo Xiaoyuan first picked up a sword and repeated the sword move a few times. It was obvious that she was trying to recreate the scene at that time. Wu Chijin knew the origin of the sword move after watching it for a while, so he took the sword from Prince Baiyu's hand and said,"Let me try. See if it's right."”
Wu Chijin took a few steps back and then rushed toward Prince Baiyu. Then, he used the same move that Luo Xiaoyuan had just made in the air. The tip of his sword landed in front of Luo Xiaoyuan's eyes. Luo Xiaoyuan immediately retreated and exclaimed,"Yes, it's exactly like this. It's exactly the same."”
Wu Chijin bowed deeply to Prince Baiyu and said,"Please forgive me for scaring you." Shall we try other weapons?"
Then, he handed the saber to Prince Baiyu and asked him to demonstrate the moves of an assassin.
This time, Luo Xiaoyuan also imitated Wu Chijin and took a few steps back. Then, she rushed forward and used the moves of the saber-wielding assassin in the air. This series of three or four imitations was actually very realistic. Wu Chijin and Xiao Bing could tell what moves the assassin used at a glance.
"This is the Red Head Blade Technique of the Entertainment Sect, it's not a high level martial art. The Seven Colors Kingdom has never had any relationship with the Entertainment Sect. Why would they attack us?"”Xiao Bing spoke first.
Xiao Bing could sense that Wu Chijin was wary of him. He had to think of a way to turn the situation around, or else the situation would not be optimistic.
"It's indeed not a high-level martial art. I'm afraid this Red-Headed Bladesmanship is not even famous in Jianghu. It's not even good enough for ordinary robberies, let alone assassinating the royal family of the Seven Colors Kingdom. Commander Xiao, what do you think?”As soon as Wu Chijin said this, Xiao Bing was sure that Wu Chijin had already begun to suspect him. After all, the assassins who were chasing him were only assassins with red-headed saber techniques. He should have turned around and caught them off guard, not turned around and left.
However, Xiao Bing wasn't sure what Wu Chijin suspected of him, so he could only answer with a probing question." Who bribed Entertainment Gate to attack the Seven Color Kingdom?" The Seven Colors Kingdom had nothing to do with the Entertainment Sect, so there must be a reason for this.
In addition, if they really wanted to make a move, there were plenty of opportunities along the way. Why did they choose to make a move in front of the Crescent Country? Were they coming for the Seven Color Nation? Or the Crescent Country?"
Then, Xiao Bing changed the topic and threw the question back to Wu Chijin." Pavilion Master Wu, do you think this Entertainment Gate is targeting the Crescent Country?" After all, there were thousands of people outside the Crescent Moon Nation's gate, and they were all here for the birth of the Crescent Moon Nation. Moreover, it was not just the Seven Color Nation that was attacked. It couldn't be that everyone's enemies had chosen to come at this time, right?”
This was indeed the question that Wu Chijin wanted to know. He also believed that the answer would be revealed soon. The opponent of the Crescent Country was definitely not an ordinary person, and the animosity between them was definitely not a trivial matter. Once the opponent was exposed, these questions would naturally be resolved.
But now, Wu Chijin wanted to catch Xiao Bingxian first. At this moment, Wu Chijin had already detected a few clear problems in his heart. The first problem was that Prince Baiyu and Xiao Bing had been deliberately let go.
If Xiao Bingxian and Prince Baiyu had really slipped through the net, then they hadn't even left the tent at that time. No one knew that they were still alive. How did the killer find out about them and immediately send some unknown assassins to kill them? This was undoubtedly a cover-up.
The second problem was that this " Prince Baiyu " was not the real Prince Baiyu. One had to know that the Moon Country's Shuli Pavilion Master's forehead touching ceremony was not a simple protocol ceremony. It was also the unique immortal visiting technique of the Moon Country. Only the Moon Country's Shuli Pavilion Master was qualified to cultivate this technique.
Through physical contact between people, the Fairy Seeking Skill could sense the basic health, mood, aura, and martial arts cultivation of the other party. The most special thing was that it could sense the other party's birth characters, five elements, and Yin and Yang. Although this was the first time Wu Chijin met Prince Baiyu, he had already grasped Prince Baiyu's birth characters. However, the birth characters of this Prince Baiyu were completely different.
Also, because he had sensed the birth characters of this "Prince Baiyu", Wu Chijin knew that his opponent had made such a big fuss because of the Crescent Mountain. This was because the birth characters of this "Prince Baiyu" were closely related to the Crescent Mountain. However, Wu Chijin didn't know that this " Prince Baiyu " was actually sent to the Crescent Country by accident. It turned out that the child who was going to be sent to the Crescent Country had another identity and purpose. This " Prince Baiyu " was just a misunderstanding.
The third question was the identity and purpose of this Commander Xiao. Judging from the current situation, he must have known the fake identity of Prince Baiyu. Of course, he must have known that they had been deliberately slipped through the net. However, with Xiao Bingxian's martial arts, knowledge, and resourcefulness, wouldn't it be too childish to be responsible for escorting Prince Baiyu into the Crescent Country?
In Wu Chijin's eyes, sending Prince Baiyu to the Crescent Country was the key part of this conspiracy. Once the mission failed, it would be difficult for this conspiracy to succeed. However, the implementation of this key part seemed so rough. Compared to the Whitey Carriage on the mountain road, the midnight song, and the precise layout of the Shura Retreat, Xiao Bingxian's arrangement seemed too sloppy.
Unless Xiao Bingxian was just a cover to confuse him, and someone else was actually escorting " Prince Baiyu " behind the scenes. As long as " Prince Baiyu " was sent to the Crescent Country, Xiao Bingxian's value would no longer exist. Then, his life and death would naturally not matter, and it was very likely that he would be silenced.
If this idea was true, then there must be people from the Crescent Country hiding behind Xiao Bingxian. Only people from the Crescent Country had the chance to inherit Xiao Bingxian's role and functions.
If that was the case, then Wu Chijin had to reconsider the seriousness of this conspiracy. The other party had already infiltrated the Crescent Country, and he knew nothing about them. He had to figure out Xiao Bingxian's background first before he could follow the clues.
However, even though Xiao Bingxian's knowledge and wit were lacking, he was still a veteran of the game. It was not easy to pry the truth out of his mouth.
Wu Chijin had a plan in his mind. He said to Xiao Bing," Commander Xiao is right. It seems like the assassins came for the Crescent Country. No wonder they were so careless when they tried to assassinate you. They made it clear that they wanted to blur our focus and make us focus our investigation on you instead of their true purpose."”
Wu Chijin then said a few words to You Tianlang, who immediately turned around and left. Wu Chijin then said to Prince Baiyu and Xiao Bingxian," I will immediately inform the Seven Colors Kingdom and ask them to send someone to escort the prince back to his country. During this period, you can rest assured. I will arrange special security guards for you."
However, I have a lot of things to attend to during the Dharma Birth Ceremony, so I won't have time to accompany you for the next few days. Please forgive me, Prince Baiyu and Commander Xiao.”
When Xiao Bing first heard Wu Chijin say that he wouldn't have time to look for him in the next few days, he felt as if a huge rock had been lifted off his chest. He secretly rejoiced that he had passed this hurdle and could relax for the next few days. He immediately returned Wu Chijin's bow and said," Sorry to trouble Pavilion Master Wu. I wish Pavilion Master Wu all the best. You don't have to greet us."”
Wu Chijin also bowed to Prince Baiyu and Commander Xiao. Then, he turned around and left the reception hall, heading straight to the royal study of the Crescent Moon King.
