What was there to be afraid of? Just as the Tinney Princess said she was afraid that the assassination would implicate Big Brother Meng and the others, the Imperial Advisor Huo Shi came in.

Seeing that everyone was holding the wine cup, the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi said in an insipid tone, "Oh my, it seems like everyone is still in the mood to drink. Could it be that you're celebrating someone assassinating the Grand Concubine?"

"What are you saying, Grand Imperial Adviser? The Grand Imperial Concubine is now the ruler of Mongolia, and now that she has been assassinated, all of us as subjects are extremely worried. How could we gloat over her misfortune?"

"Huo Shi, don't create something out of nothing. Ben Han and Brother Meng are usually on opposite sides of the world. Today, they finally gathered together to drink horse milk and drink wine together because of Cui Leta. Is this against the law?" both of them said angrily.

"Drinking alcohol is not against the law, but if someone tried to assassinate the grand imperial concubine, it would be a serious crime," the Grand Scholar Huo said.

"What does the Imperial Advisor mean by this?" Kublai asked vigilantly.

"Because the assassin told the assassin to go to the capital and Brother Meng to go to the extent of instructing him."

"Huo Shi, you're just bullshitting. How could I do such a thing?" Barton jumped up and said.

"Right now, I don't have the time to be long-winded." The Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi said.

After finishing his speech, Huo Shi waved his hand, signaling the warriors beside him to go over and bind Meng Ge and Jiang Chen.

These two were not afraid of the heavens or the earth. When they saw the warriors coming to catch them, they immediately kicked them to the ground.

Seeing this, the Imperial Advisor Huo Shi exclaimed, "This Imperial Advisor is telling you all that this is He Lin. Could it be that you want to rebel?"

With that, the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi rushed over to the side of Princess Tani. He placed his palm on top of her head and said with a cold smile, "Prince Meng, I'll sweat it all. If you don't obediently surrender, then Princess Te Ni's life will be in danger. You all better think this through."

Since his life was in the hands of the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi, Meng Hao had no choice but to let out a long sigh and let the warriors tie him up.

As he was the only one left, he knew that it would be hard for him to take four punches. Therefore, he had naturally been firmly tied up.

Only then did the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi let go of Tan Ni and speak to the crowd in satisfaction, "Great Concubine's matters are most fair. Since Brother Meng and Pudu Khan are the ones who ordered the assassination, they will not implicate anyone else.

"But the others are not allowed to leave and remain in the forest, waiting to be summoned."

"I wonder how the Imperial Advisors will handle this case after they capture them?" Princess Teney asked.

The Imperial Adviser Huo Zhi replied, "Please be at ease, Princess Te Ni. Before this Imperial Concubine arrived, she told me that Kublai is the Chief Judge of Mongolia. Naturally, he is duty-bound to take charge of this case.

Brother Meng is the older brother of Kublai. If Kublai's trial is held, then if Brother Meng and Pudu Khan are acquitted, then you will say that Kublai was biased towards them during the trial. If they don't handle the case impartially, then Kublai can't forcefully punish them for their crimes when facing his brothers. Princess Teney said.

Grand Imperial Adviser Huo Zhi said, "In addition to Prince Kublai's trial, the Grand Imperial Concubine has also asked the Minister of the Left and the Prime Minister of the Great Mongolia to assist Kublai in handling this case. This trial is not fair and the two of them will see it as well, so Imperial Consort need not worry."

After saying that, he swept his eyes across Xin Youxuan and said, "Since Mister Xin is here, that would be great."

"What, could it be that the Imperial Advisors want to capture me as well?" Xin Youxuan asked.

"Mister Xin, you're overthinking it. The moves of the imperial guards who tried to assassinate the grand concubine are quite magical. The grand concubine knows that Mister Xin, the Guardian God, the Mani Sect Leader and the three Honored Warriors under his command are all experts from their own world. Therefore, she wants all of you to act as witnesses and participate in the hearing of this case."

No one had expected Torrigo and the people who had arranged for the trial to be like this, and no one knew what Torrigo thought.

Xin Youxuan didn't know what to do, but she nodded at herself when she saw Princess Tinney. He agreed to Huo Zhi's words.

After the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi had left, the Tinney Princess sighed and said, "Look, he told you all to leave as soon as possible. No need to listen, he's really making his move now, isn't he?"

"This must have been a trap set up by Torrigo in advance. Maybe she was the one who arranged the assassination. She wanted to take this opportunity to frame the people who were dragging us down." said Xu Liegu.

He quickly added, "What third brother said makes sense. This way, he will be able to eliminate all of our Torei Clan members in one fell swoop."

"I don't think so. From what I can see, that fake Mongol guard from back then was not a fake. Judging from his actions, he definitely wanted to attract Torrigo to his death. However, because the martial arts of the Imperial Advisor Huo Shi was too strong, the fake Mongol warrior was unable to do anything about it."

"One more thing, I have yet to confirm." Xin Youxuan said to everyone, hesitating to speak.

"What is it?" asked Kublai.

On that day, when the fake Mongolian guard suddenly attacked the imperial concubine, Torrigo, although she seemed to be in a very sorry state and was unable to resist the sudden attack of this guard, it could be said that her rolling in the face of the Imperial Advisor in that moment of crisis could be said to be a coincidence. Xin Youxuan answered.

This concubine has known Eldest Consort Torrigo since she was young. She was born into a noble family in Mongolia, so it is true that she knows how to shoot arrows on horseback. However, it is also possible that she doesn't have the opportunity to learn the skills of those experts in the martial arts world!

"Eiji, didn't you say that Torrigo went missing for a few years when he was young? Could she have gone to train in martial arts that year?" Kublai said.

"If you hadn't told me, you might have forgotten," said Princess Tani to Kublai.

"However, the most important thing right now is to help Brother Meng and Gou Hanshi clear up their grievances. As for the matter of whether or not Eldest Concubine Torrigo has martial arts, we can slowly investigate it in the future." Princess Teney continued.

Kublai said, "We can only wait until the trial starts tomorrow. There's no point in continuing to discuss it."

After finishing his words, Kublai told the others to go rest first. He and Xin Xiuxuan would continue to discuss tomorrow's plan.
