Yunfei, Yunfeng, and Longying led the purple guards to search every corner of the small courtyard carefully.

Wu Ying carefully inspected the body of the deputy hall master, while Zi Ke and Mu Xue stood by Qingyun's side.

"The chasing soul incense developed by Mr. Mo is really powerful. Even the people in Juechen Palace who often deal with various drugs can't notice it at all, and people who have been in contact with it will be infected with it unconsciously. It doesn't subside." Zi Ke praised.

After hearing this, Qingyun smiled slightly: "The medicine developed by Mo Xuan is very powerful, but if the man in black hadn't held Gong Yingjie hostage, or if Gong Yingjie had changed all his clothes from the inside to the outside, we would have no way of tracking them down." Thinking of this, people put the chasing soul incense on Gong Yingjie's shirt.

They followed Zhuhunxiang and first found dozens of men in black and Gong Yingjie who were hiding, and then rushed to Yipinxiang, but the leading man in black was still missing, and then chased here, but it turned out to be a step too late, and the man in black died , the clue is broken.

After Wu Ying inspected the deputy head's body, she pulled out the bloody dagger and handed it to Qing Yun.

"Master, the blood of the man in black has not coagulated, and his body is still warm. It seems that he was stabbed in the center of the heart and killed not long ago. It can be seen that the murderer is either familiar to the man in black. Either the martial arts are better than the man in black, and the man in black was killed before he could react."

"Your analysis makes sense." Qing Yun nodded and said: "But I think that person should be someone familiar to the man in black, and most likely it is the right protector who has never shown up."

Zi Ke and Wu Ying looked at Qing Yun suspiciously.

"First, judging from the current position of the man in black and the condition of his injury, he should have knelt in front of the person sitting on the chair at that time, so that the wound would show a top-down shape, because the incident suddenly stabbed the center again. Therefore, the man in black fell here naturally without any reaction, which shows that the identity of that person is higher than that of the man in black;

Second, look at this black iron dagger. It should be made of the same material as the dagger that Lin Han gave me. It has been specially refined. The top quality, look at the handle of the knife, one red and one blue gemstones symbolize the same brilliance of the sun and the moon, there is no flaw in the whole body, they are also high-quality gemstones, people who can use this kind of dagger will definitely not be ordinary people;

Third, the left guardian and five hall masters of Juechen Palace have fallen into our hands, the bamboo hall master and Feng Qingshang are together, and there are only two hall masters, the right guardian and Fenglei, and the right guardian has sneaked into the capital many years ago There is no trace, so I guess this person should be the right protector. "

After a pause, Qingyun continued: "Gong Yingjie has been imprisoned in Bingquan Palace for more than a month, and the right guard has not moved. Either he was caught by something, or he disdain to use Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hands;

Therefore, the kidnapping of Gong Yingjie should be caused by the man in black who acted without authorization, and then sneaked back to this small courtyard to report to the right protector. The right protector noticed that we were following us, so he cruelly killed him to distract our attention And stalling for time, taking the opportunity to escape;

Mu Xue did not issue a warning, explaining. . . . . . "

Zi Ke instantly understood: "It means that there is a secret passage in this room, and the right guardian escaped from the secret passage, so we didn't find anyone coming out of the small courtyard."

At this time, Mu Xue suddenly rubbed her head against Qingyun's skirt, then ran to a certain corner to sniff, and then yelled at Qingyun a few times.

"Mu Xue, did you find something?"

Nodding the wolf's head, at the same time Mu Xue pawed the ground under her body with her front paws.

The three of Qingyun looked at each other, then walked to the corner and searched carefully.

Soon, Qingyun found that at the corner of the wall close to the ground, there was a half-hand-sized wall that was much lighter in color than the surrounding ones. Qingyun stretched out her hand and tried to press that place, and the wall at that place moved inward accordingly, tightly Then there was a sound on the ground behind him.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage."

Instructing a team of purple-clothed guards to guard the small courtyard strictly and not allow anyone to approach, Yunfei and Long Ying led five or six purple-clothed guards with torches and weapons in their hands and entered the dark passage first, Zi Ke and Mu Xue walked in the middle protecting Qingyun, After Wuying and Yunfeng led the rest of the purple-clothed guards, the group cautiously walked in the narrow and winding passage, which stretched for an unknown length.

"The front is the end of the secret passage, everyone be careful!"

Yun Fei, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around to remind everyone, and then he and Long Ying clenched their weapons and moved towards the entrance of the secret passage step by step.

After leaving the secret passage, everyone's expressions changed when they saw the scene in front of them.

But Qingyun closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was as deep as the sea. The bright moonlight and flickering firelight reflected her beautiful face, but she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Although she didn't come here many times, she also knew that this was a secluded back house away from the main courtyard of Prince Rui's residence.

"Princess..." Zi Ke and Wu Ying looked at Qingyun worriedly.

Unexpectedly, the end of the secret passage turned out to be the backyard of Prince Rui's Mansion. If the Right Protector was really lurking in Prince Rui's Mansion with the intention of doing harm to Prince Rui, the princess must be worried and angry because of her concern for Prince Rui.

The guards watching the night discovered the whereabouts of Qingyun and the others: "Who? How dare you break into Prince Rui's mansion at night and take them all!" When the guards who came up saw Qingyun's face clearly, they all changed their expressions in shock and hurriedly knelt down He saluted: "Your subordinates will see the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!"

"It took about half a stick of incense to pass before you found out that this palace and others have arrived. Is this how you protect Prince Rui's mansion?" Qingyun said coldly, looking directly at the guards of the palace who were kneeling on the ground with clear eyes: "If The one who came this time is not this palace, but the real enemy, if something happens to Prince Rui and Princess Rui, will you be able to bear this responsibility?"

"This subordinate is guilty, please forgive the ninth princess!" More than a dozen guards lowered their heads in shame: If it was really an enemy sneak attack, what happened to the prince and concubine, they will die for their sins!

It's just that how could Princess Nine suddenly come to the palace late at night, and even appear in this secluded backyard?Could it be that there are really enemies sneaking in?

Looking at the guards who bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, Qingyun neither asked them to get up, nor reprimanded them, but there was a deep sullen aura all over their bodies, and if there was an invisible pressure, the guards felt short of breath, and the bone-chilling The soles of the feet quickly spread to the top of the head, and even the teeth could not help but chatter.

"Before I arrived, did you find any suspicious people sneaking into the palace from here?"

"Subordinates wait..."

The leading guard was about to answer, when Sima Rui came galloping from a distance suddenly, obviously there was still some distance to go, but in the blink of an eye, Sima Rui had already arrived in front of Qingyun, with a blue jade crown tied with black hair, light blue brocade The robe complemented his tall and straight figure, and his usual stern face was soft at the moment, but joy and doubt flashed in the dark eyes, it seemed that he hadn't gone to bed yet, and he rushed over immediately after hearing Qingyun's arrival.

The personal guard, Ah Jun, was a few steps behind, followed by the butler running out of breath holding the lantern.

After a while, Xu Kexin hurried over from another direction with her maid, Yuechan, her long hair was like ink without any headgear, and her beautiful face was more elegant and gentle under the light of the bright moonlight.

Seeing that Xu Kexin's embroidered shoes seemed to be worn backwards, she had obviously fallen asleep. After hearing the news, she didn't pay attention in a hurry. Qingyun frowned slightly, especially when she noticed a faint trace of melancholy in Xu Kexin's eyebrows, and she was not the same as the third brother. Coming from the direction, he couldn't help but dim his eyes.

"It's so late, why did Jiu'er come to this backyard?" Seeing that Qingyun was wearing thin clothes, Sima Rui hurriedly took off his coat and put it on for her.

Qingyun wanted to return the coat to Sima Rui, but seeing his worried and pity eyes, she gave up, stepped forward and took Xu Kexin's arm, and said apologetically, "Jiu'er came here rashly and disturbed the third brother and my wife." I'm really sorry that Sanhuang's Wife is resting."

"Jiu'er came to the mansion, the prince and I will naturally welcome you, but don't say anything to interrupt and apologize." Xu Kexin glanced at Sima Rui quietly, seeing that his eyes were only on Qingyun, and a trace of melancholy flashed away in his eyes, and then Smiling and said to Qingyun: "Why don't Jiu'er come in through the main entrance, so we can pick you up."

"Third Brother and Third Sister-in-Law didn't know something. People from Juechen Palace broke into Ice Spring Palace at night and robbed Gong Yingjie. We tracked all the way to a house in the city, and then followed a secret passage in the house to get here."

When Sima Rui and Xu Kexin heard the words, their expressions became condensed: this matter is no small matter, the remnants of Juechen Palace must be found out, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"A Jun, call everyone in the mansion here immediately." Sima Rui stared at the guards kneeling on the ground watching the night in a blink of an eye: "Have you found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace?"

The guards were obviously aware of the importance of this matter, and the leading guard said truthfully: "Go back to the lord, the subordinates have not found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace, the subordinates have neglected their duties, please punish the lord!"

Seeing Sima Rui's gloomy face and the cold light in his eyes, Qingyun hurriedly said: "Third brother! That man's whereabouts are secretive and his martial arts is strong, it's normal for the guards not to find out." Although sullen, someone secretly dug such a Secretly thought that they didn't know anything, but they were the third brother's trusted subordinates, she couldn't bear it.

"My subordinates thank the Ninth Princess for their kindness, but my subordinates are indeed guilty of serious crimes, and even ten thousand deaths will not atone for their crimes!" More than a dozen guards pulled out their waist blades almost at the same time and wanted to apologize with death.

Unexpectedly, after the two figures, one black and one purple moved like ghosts, they were unable to move, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground one after another. After following Prince Rui for many years, they naturally knew that the two were the shadow guard Long Ying beside the Ninth Princess. There is also Yunfei, the newly appointed commander of Ziyiwei.

"Princess Nine..."

"Third brother has always regarded you as relatives and brothers, but you are so easy to draw your sword and kill yourself, are you worthy of third brother's trust and friendship?" Qingyun Qingling said: "If you think death can solve the problem, then I will not Stop it!"
