A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Song Yanshu quickly dispatched the Imperial Guards to surround the Taihe Hall.

"Close all entrances and exits immediately. No one is allowed to leave without permission." He ordered in a deep voice, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

Subsequently, important court officials such as the Minister of Justice and the Vice Minister of War were urgently summoned to assist in handling this emergency and ensure that all deployments were carried out in an orderly manner.

When the eunuchs carried the person out of the toilet, they found that it was the envoy who had just gone to the toilet. This scene undoubtedly made everyone present feel nervous.

Dongfang Chenhao's face darkened instantly, and he said in a low and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, my envoy met with an accident in your palace, and there must be an explanation for this matter."

Ling Qiyan followed closely and said, "Your Majesty Kang Ren, our envoy arrived safely in your country, but died in your palace. You must give us a reasonable explanation."

The envoys from the other two countries also echoed his opinion. The four countries, which had been on the verge of being disintegrated by Yuan Ying, were now united again because of this common experience.

Yuan Ying rushed over upon hearing the news and stepped into the hall. She quickly sorted out the confusion, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. "The truth of this matter has not yet been found out, why are you so anxious?" Her words were filled with unquestionable authority.

Then, she turned to the imperial physician beside her and asked anxiously, "How is his injury?"

The imperial physician was kneeling beside the messenger, looking at the shocking wounds on his chest—he had been stabbed three times, and blood was dripping, staining the ground red. The imperial physician shook his head helplessly.

He replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this man's injuries are extremely serious. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he can't be saved." Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall. Obviously, this was not a simple accident, but a deliberate evil act.

Emperor Kang Ren's face turned pale. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen at his birthday banquet, and it was an envoy. He said in a deep voice: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. How can my palace tolerate such a daring person!"

Ling Qiyan sneered, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Your Majesty, if it was really done by someone in your palace, I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved peacefully."

Dongfang Chenhao frowned and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty Kangren, our country will not allow itself to be bullied." He looked around with a sharp gaze.

Emperor Kang Ren said slowly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to find out the truth and give you a satisfactory explanation. But before that, please be patient and don't be impatient, so as not to hurt the harmony."

After that, he changed the subject and announced coldly: "Who were not outside watching the fireworks just now? Stand up for me."

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and after some hesitation, some people stood up one after another.

At this time, the prince suddenly said: "Master Yuan was not here just now."

Queen Wang glanced at Emperor Kang Ren and quickly stopped him, saying, "My son, don't talk nonsense." How could he be so stupid in the face of such important issues?

Hengyang immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, yes... Father, Yuan Ying was not outside just now. She must be suspicious." Concubine Su quickly pulled Hengyang, wondering how could she give birth to such a stupid person.

Prince, Hengyang is in a state of madness at this moment. They have not considered the consequences at all. They just want Yuan Ying to die.

When the two said this, Emperor Kang Ren frowned deeply and looked at the Crown Prince and Hengyang as if they were idiots, and the same went for the rest of the princes.

Murong Xuanyi stared at the prince and Hengyang. Since they were seeking death, he would grant their wish.

Only King Rui inadvertently raised a meaningful smile on his face.

Dongfang Chenhao immediately asked: "Excuse me, Master Yuan, where were you just now?"

Yuan Ying glanced at the prince coldly, and said calmly and firmly: "I have been in the palace and have never left. The palace maids and eunuchs can all testify for me."

Ling Qiyan sneered again: "The palace maids and eunuchs are all from Xia Country, what basis can their testimony be used as?"

The envoys from the other two countries also said in a cold tone: "This person actually met with an accident in your Daxia's palace, and Lord Yuan was unusually warm to the Third Prince today, which was unexpected.

You have such sinister intentions, plotting to murder a pillar of another country. Everyone knows that an outstanding strategist is of inestimable value to a country. "

Dongfang Chenhao was filled with uncontrollable anger when he heard this. He originally had high hopes for Yuan Ying, thinking that he was a capable official who might be able to help the country.

He even thought that when he returned, he would advise his father that the country of Xun should not participate in the four-nation coalition's conquest of the country of Xia. However, the scene before him made him deeply angry and disappointed that he would do such a cruel and vulgar thing.

He stared at Yuan Ying with a sharp gaze and asked word by word, "Did you kill him?"

Yuan Ying ignored these questions, she just lowered her head to look at the body on the ground and remained calm from beginning to end.

"I didn't kill the person."

How could Ling Qiyan give up such a great opportunity? After all, this person died in the palace, so what if she didn't kill him? Anyway, she could just insist that it was her. Imagine if a prime minister dared to kill an envoy, what kind of uproar would it cause, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Ling Qiyan quickly added: "You are the one who killed that person. These palace maids and eunuchs would not have such bodies..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden flash of silver light, followed by a series of screams.

Ling Qiyan, who was just talking, suddenly opened his eyes wide in fear, and touched the heat on his neck in disbelief. A sharp blade passed by his neck, and the dagger was firmly nailed to Ling Qiyan's pillar.

"Are you crazy? How dare you murder me in public?" Ling Qiyan said in horror and anger.

"See? If I kill someone, I can take your head from a few meters away. Do I need to stab you several times to kill you?" Yuan Ying said lightly.

Her movements and skills left people stunned.

The envoys from the four countries were all dumbfounded. How could a woman be so powerful?

Yuan Ying moved forward at an extremely fast speed, and before anyone could react, he had already taken the dagger from the pillar.

Then he returned to his seat again. Then he slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the dagger and said, "How is it? Do you still think I killed that person?"

Ling Qiyan didn't dare to say anything more. She was just a lunatic. He was really afraid that she would kill him if she got upset.

Dongfang Chenhao, who was also a military general, knew at this moment that Yuan Ying would not kill people like this.

But the accident happened in the palace and the fact that she didn't kill anyone doesn't mean that other people in Daxia didn't kill anyone.

He stared at Yuan Ying and said slowly, "The Prime Minister's martial arts are extraordinary. If he wanted to take someone's life, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. But this incident happened in the Great Xia Palace, which is very serious, so I hope that Master Yuan can give me a clear explanation."

Yuan Ying did not respond, but quickly glanced at everyone, feeling that today's drama was not simple at all.

Who is behind all this and what is their purpose?

It would be fine if it were in modern times, as criminals would have nowhere to hide under the cameras, but this happened in ancient times.

Yuan Ying squatted down and carefully examined the victim's wounds. He said, "The incision of the wound deviated from the heart each time. It could have been killed with one stab, but three stabs were required. This proves that the murderer is not a professional killer. However, judging from the depth of the stab, this person must be a young man who knows some martial arts."

Then check the nails.

The victim was stabbed three times. The man must have stabbed him at close range. It is impossible for the victim to not fight back at all, so the fingernails are the most important clue.

Yuan Ying checked very carefully and found some obvious bloodstains and flesh in the nails.

"There are traces of blood and flesh on the fingernails of both hands. The suspect must have scratches on his body that just appeared."

This clue is too important.

Yuan Ying immediately turned to Emperor Kang Ren and said, "Your Majesty, check the wounds on the hands and bodies of all those who are not present."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's eyes flashed with admiration, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately follow Prime Minister Yuan's instructions and conduct a thorough inspection of all those outside the venue. No one should be left out."

The guards acted quickly, and began to carefully search the palace maids and eunuchs who had just stood out. The atmosphere in the hall was tense and solemn, and everyone's face was full of doubt and uneasiness.

Seeing that there were only palace maids and eunuchs from the Xia Kingdom, Yuan Ying frowned and said, "Wait, everyone who is not present needs to be checked, including all the messengers."

When Ling Qiyan heard Yuan Ying say this, he was immediately furious and said, "This happened in your royal family. Why do you have the right to check on us? Don't you agree?"

The Xiliang and Xiongnu envoys said in unison: "That's right, why do you doubt us?"

Yuan Ying said, "Please be patient, envoys. I am not slandering anyone. I am just investigating the truth based on facts.

This incident happened in the Great Xia Palace, so I naturally have the responsibility to give you a satisfactory answer. But if I ignore the real murderer due to a momentary negligence, wouldn’t it be letting the real murderer go unpunished, and it would be a provocation to the prestige of the Great Xia country. "

Yuan Ying looked at Dongfang Chenhao and said, "Third Prince, what do you think?"

Dongfang Chenhao nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Yuan Ying's statement. He turned to the other envoys and said, "Everyone, Prime Minister Yuan is right. If someone is deliberately trying to sow discord, how can we play into their hands? It is better for us to cooperate with the inspection first to prove our innocence."

The envoys from Xiliang and the Xiongnu looked at each other. Although they were still dissatisfied, they also understood that it was not appropriate to have a bad relationship with Daxia on Daxia's territory at this time, so they all expressed their willingness to accept inspection.

No matter how unwilling Ling Qiyan was, the minority had to obey the majority.

There were five people in the Yin State delegation. The other people looked normal, but the servants behind Ling Qiyan saw that he was evasive and trying hard to hide his hands. Yuan Ying quickly walked over and grabbed his hand, and there were several blood marks on the back of his hand.

Yuan Ying glanced at him coldly and said, "It was you who killed the envoy of the Xun Kingdom."

"It's not me, it's not me. I accidentally hung it when I came here. You can't slander me."

Yuan Ying pulled the man over and compared the scratches on the dead man's fingernails to find that they matched perfectly. This way, the man had no way to defend himself.

Seeing this, Ling Qiyan said, "How dare you slander our envoys? I am the eldest prince of the Yin Kingdom, how can I let you treat me like this?

We originally came here to celebrate the birthday of your emperor, but now you have wronged us. Let me tell you, if you don’t give us an explanation for this matter, our Yin Kingdom will immediately send troops to attack your Great Xia!"

As expected, the situation escalated instantly and became an international dispute.

Emperor Kang Ren's face looked extremely ugly, especially when the envoys from the other two countries also joined in. They all pointed their guns at the Great Xia Kingdom out of solidarity.

For a moment he didn't know what to do.

Murong Xuanyi looked directly at Ling Qiyan, his tone firm: "Leading troops to Daxia? Humph! Our country has a vast territory and many brave warriors. How can you underestimate us?

Daxia has never invaded an inch of your land, and Yin will never dare to get involved in Daxia. If you use this as an excuse to challenge the majesty of our dynasty, the people of Daxia will unite as one, and will definitely fight against the enemy with a common hatred, and will punish you even if you are far away! "

Song Yanshu immediately echoed in a sonorous and powerful voice: "We share the same hatred and the enemy must be punished even though they are far away!"

Then, all the princes, civil and military officials and their families present shouted in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles and resounding through the sky: "We share the same hatred for the enemy, and we will punish him even though he is far away!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and exciting. Suddenly, an unquestionable light flashed in Emperor Kang Ren's eyes. He looked at all the envoys and spoke in a steady and powerful voice:

"We, Daxia, have been a country of etiquette since ancient times, but we never back down in the face of provocation and aggression. Today, in the name of the Emperor of Daxia, I swear here that no matter where the enemy comes from, they will all be killed by our swords!"

At that moment, everyone's heart was filled with boiling blood. They knew that this was not only a declaration of war to the outside world, but also a spiritual cohesion within.

"Long live Daxia! Long live our emperor!" Everyone knelt down and shouted, slogans rose and fell, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken by this determination and resolve. Everyone present was convinced that as long as they were united, Daxia's glory would never end.

All the messengers were shocked by this momentum. They looked at each other with shock and fear in their eyes.

Ling Qiyan finally pretended to remain calm on the surface, barely maintaining the dignity of an envoy from a powerful country, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Yuan Ying's eyes were as sharp as a sword, shooting straight at Ling Qiyan. She said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that it was you, a thief, who directed and acted out this incident yourself, trying to put the blame on Daxia and destroy the friendship between Daxia and Xunguo."

Then, he glanced coldly at the envoys from Xiliang and Xiongnu, and said in a deep voice:

"Are you really willing to become Yin's running dogs? You just blindly bite whoever they tell you to bite. Have you ever thought about this? If you form an alliance with Yin and jointly deal with Daxia, will Yin still let you exist safely after achieving its goal? How pedantic and ridiculous."

After a pause, she continued, "You are all wise men. You should know that the lips and teeth are cold. Don't be blinded by the small profits in front of you. I hope you will think twice before you act, and not become pawns on someone else's chessboard."

All the envoys present lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. It was obvious that what Yuan Ying said touched their hearts.

At this time, Ling Qiyan was anxious to turn the situation around, and quickly interrupted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. She is just a woman, how can she know the complexity and far-reaching nature of national affairs? The power of Daxia is gradually declining, and the Yin Kingdom is at its peak. This is the general trend of the world. Only by joining forces with the strong can you protect yourself. This is the move of a wise man."

Facing Ling Qiyan's rebuttal, Yuan Ying raised a cold smile and responded concisely and forcefully: "The wise follow the trend, while the foolish follow blindly. The true face of the Yin State and its despicable and shameless heart have been revealed, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes."

Then Yuan Ying looked at Ling Qiyan and said coldly: "The prince has committed a crime, and he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the same applies to the envoy."

There was no warmth in her words, nor did she show fear or retreat just because the other party was a messenger.

"Someone, come and capture this villain. Your Highness, we have found the murderer for you. It is up to you how to deal with him." Yuan Ying threw this hot potato to Dongfang Chenhao.
