Chapter 1297 Terrible, really terrible

Northern Li Palace

The hidden guard knelt below and reported truthfully what happened on Loushan Mountain in the afternoon.

Emperor Beili's face turned pale, his big hands tightly gripping the armrests of the chair. What on earth was He Yuting doing?

The people under his command are hopelessly stupid. That idiot Li Xi actually dared to admit to murdering Zhang Rui himself. This is a slap in the face of the government, the Dali Temple, and even the royal family.

After Ye Qianning made such a fuss, the reputation of the entire He family would be destroyed in an instant, and his recall of the He family to take charge of the academy would also become a complete joke.

"After coming down the mountain, Ye Qianning entered the city alone. During that time, many people attacked him and many people died." The hidden guard continued.

"Does Ye Qianning know Kung Fu?" Emperor Beili asked.

"I have been following you secretly. Ye Qianning has no internal energy. The people who were following you were killed before they even got close to you."

The hidden guards were very sure that Ye Qianning had no internal strength and could not sense the bloodiness in the dark. Otherwise, how could she go shopping without changing her expression when so many people died in secret, and not even take a look around.

Emperor Beili thought about it and agreed. How could she still practice martial arts when she was so injured? But he also felt that she had the things from Penglai Mountain in her hands. She could even bring the dead back to life, so practicing martial arts was not impossible for her.

We still need to explore the truth further.

"Which side are taking action?" asked Emperor Beili.

"There are more than a hundred people from various forces in the four countries." It can be considered a large-scale assassination operation.

More than a hundred people?

"Kill them all?"

"Yes, no one who took action survived." The hidden guard continued, "Ye Qianning had many guards around him. Twenty of them took action this time. They were all masters and killed people without mercy. All those who were killed were skinned alive."

Such killing methods were rarely seen among the secret guards. Each of them seemed to be possessed by the god of death, and was even more terrifying than the dead soldiers.

Emperor Beili was not only shocked by the secret guards around Ye Qianning, but also by the way those secret guards killed people, skinning them after death -

"Your Highness."

The black figure in the room knelt down.

Emperor Beili was still lost in thought. The sudden appearance of the hidden guard frightened him, and when he came to his senses, his face darkened. "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the guards around Ye Qianning returned all the skins of the people assassinated today to their original places. After receiving them, the people behind the scenes began to pack their bags and headed for the city gate. It seems that they are about to leave Beijing." The hidden guard reported.

"They were all sent back?" Emperor Beili was incredulous.

"Yes, twenty-eight in total."

Emperor Beili's hair stood on end. Not only were their methods vicious, but they even knew which side they belonged to. It was terrible, really terrible.

Even for an emperor like him, it was impossible to find out who was behind more than a hundred people in just one or two hours. How could Ye Qianning's people find out the source of the crime in such a mixed crowd?

"How long would it take you to investigate these people behind the scenes?" asked Emperor Beili.

The two kneeling secret guards looked at each other, unable to tell the time for a moment.

"explain."

There was a hint of anger in Emperor Beili's voice.

"It will take at least seven days."

"Seven days... Seven days..." Emperor Beili muttered twice, then flew into a rage: "Waste, a bunch of waste."

The hidden guards were terrified.

The seven days they mentioned refer to the former capital. The capital is now in chaos and it is easy to kill people. If you want to find the murderer, let alone seven days, it may take even a month to find them all.

These secret guards dare not say it.

Emperor Beili raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the armrest. After an hour or two, he racked his brains but couldn't figure out how they did it.

I was secretly thankful that the Royal Guards did not take action, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

"Where is Ye Qianning now?"

"I went to Changyang Palace."

Emperor Beili was shocked, his eyes filled with fear. "After coming down the mountain, did you go directly to the Changyang Palace?"
