Yu Zimo gently pushed open the door of the dark room, walked in, uncovered the black cloth on the table in the room, and the soft light of the night pearl emanated.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ You're the first to enter my dark room. Yu Zimo said with a smile, "There are many interesting things here, you will be interested." Yu Zimo touched Yu'er's head.

Yu'er's eyes sparkled, she looked around curiously, and then smiled at Zi Mo as well.

"I also play here a lot and find something interesting. With you by my side, some things are sure to become more interesting. ā€

Yu'er took Yu Zimo's hand.

"So let's get started. Yu Zimo showed a deep smile.

……

In the past few days, a strange rumor has appeared in King Xin's palace. Legend has it that on the night of the full moon last month, some guards patrolling the city claimed to have seen suspicious black shadows moving quickly above the capital like ghosts.

"Did you tell someone that you saw a suspicious black shadow while you were on patrol?" Cong Hua asked as he found the guard who said this.

The questioned guard was a little frightened, and replied with trepidation, "Yes...... It's not".

"Is it or isn't it?" Cong Hua's face sank like water, and his momentum was terrifying.

The guard's head was lowered to his chest, sweat soaked his hair, and he struggled for a long time before he squeezed a word out of his throat, "Yes." After speaking, he quickly raised his head and explained: "Eldest Prince, I didn't really see it, maybe it was just an illusion." ā€

"I have called you not to repensure you, I just want to know what was really going on. You just have to answer truthfully. Cong Hua's voice was cold, "You can say it." ā€

The guard calmed himself down a little before he said, "On the night of the full moon, I was patrolling with the other guards, and when I walked to the place of the archway in the east city, I accidentally looked up and saw a long black shadow passing over the roof next to it. ā€

"Shadow, do you see clearly?"

The guard tilted his head, his expression very hesitant.

"Did anyone else see it too?" asked Conghua.

"No, I called out to the others, but by the time they looked up again, the shadow was gone. ā€

"So you're the only one who sees it. ā€

"Ahh Maybe it was just a shadow of a tree, or maybe a big bird. ā€

"Have you seen that shadow again? ā€

"I saw that once. ā€

"After the shadow appeared, was there anything special going on nearby?"

"Nope. It's business as usual. ā€

"Alright, you can go down. Cong Hua said.

The guard wiped the sweat from his head and, as if pardoned, withdrew backwards.

……

"You're patrolling the West City?" another guard walked in, and Cong Hua asked him.

"Yes, Grand Prince. The guard replied clearly.

"When did you see the shadow?"

"The night before yesterday. The guard replied without hesitation.

"Tell me about the situation. ā€

"We were patrolling the street when we suddenly saw a dark figure passing over the roof of a house next to us. We tried to catch up, but he ran too fast to catch up. ā€

"You're not the only one who sees it?"

"Yes, Grand Prince. The shadow appeared in front of me on the right, and when I noticed it, I immediately shouted, and the others saw it. ā€

"What do you think that dark shadow is, is it an animal or a human?"

"It's people. The Great Prince. The Guardian affirmed.

"You're so sure. ā€

"Yes, the Great Prince, although he is fast, his movements and figure are undoubted. ā€

"Got it, you can go down. ā€

The guard saluted, took a step back, and stopped.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Cong Hua could see that the young guard had something to say.

"Yes, Grand Prince. The guard replied in a loud voice, "I think that this black shadow man can jump over the ridge in the capital at night, walking on the ground as if he were walking on the ground, and the speed is extremely fast, which shows that this person is very skillful, and letting such a person wander around the capital is very detrimental to the palace and the safety of the people." ā€

What the guards said was exactly what Cong Hua thought.

"I'm done, and the villain leaves. When the guard finished what he wanted to say, he seemed to be very happy.

"Hmm. Wait," Cong Hua looked at the guard with a sharp gaze. This guard is not very old, with a tall body, a strong physique, a full face, bright eyes, and a righteous face. "What's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Changming, eldest prince. ā€

"What a position. ā€

"I'm just a small soldier in charge of night patrols. The Great Prince. The guard's voice was sonorous.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the captain of your squad. Cong Hua said.

"What?" the young guard was a little unconvinced, "I've only been a soldier for half a year. ā€

"Are you questioning my orders?" Cong Hua said in a dignified tone.

"Don't dare. The guards were busy expressing their horror at their faux pas.

"Let's go down. Cong Hua ordered.

"Yes. "It happened suddenly, and the young guard couldn't believe that he could now be the captain. In front of the eldest prince, he tried to maintain his solemnity and composure, and when he left the eldest prince's room, he clasped his hands and raised them upward, and his face could not suppress the joy in his heart.

……

After questioning the relevant personnel, Cong Huashen leaned back in his chair and thought. In the past few years, the capital of Xinguo has been very peaceful, and nothing unusual has happened. Who was this black shadow this time? How could he suddenly appear in the capital? Although there was no case in the place where he appeared, he was seen and caused rumors. Specious rumors are more likely to have an impact on people's minds than actual facts. The reason and purpose of the appearance of this dark shadow are unknown. He could walk around the capital with ease, and it would be easy for him to enter the palace. Of course, he has asked people to strengthen the guards of the palace, but this does not dispel his worries. In addition, Cong Hua has another concern -- if someone uses this to spread rumors or imitate it, it will be even more troublesome.

After dinner, Tian Yuan and Tian Yue came to Cong Hua's residence almost at the same time. Tianyuan is from the hunting ground, and Tianyue is from the study. The two did not have any consultation, and their actions were always surprisingly consistent, which surprised many people.

"How is the investigation of the matter of the black shadow?" Tianyue asked the eldest brother with some concern. The envoys of various countries are still in the capital, and if something happens, I am afraid that the impact will not only be on the capital.

Tian Yuan also came for the matter of the black shadow, but he didn't think as much as Tianyue, he swore to help the eldest brother catch the black shadow.

Cong Hua said: "Now it is certain that the black shadow is a person. I've sent someone to arrest him. ā€

"Is it a person?" Tianyue lowered his gaze, this was the last thing he wanted to hear, "This person can walk freely under the noses of the many guards in the capital, I am afraid it will not be easy to catch him." ā€

"Second brother, are you blindly worried again, so many masters in the palace can't catch a scurrying mouse?" Tian Yuan didn't care, and said grinningly.

"A mouse?" Tianyue asked Tianyuan, "Have you ever caught a mouse?"

"Of course," Tian Yuan affirmed, "I remember that when I was a child, I took care of almost all the rat nests in the palace. ā€

"Do you know where this rat's nest is?"

"As long as there are rats, there must be rat nests. As long as I catch the trace of this mouse, I'll be able to catch it. ā€

"When you find his traces, let's talk. ā€

"Do you want to bet?"

"Okay," Tianyue was happy, "let me think about it, what other good things do you have." ā€

Although Tianyue and Tianyuan's actions are always surprisingly consistent, their thoughts and words are always opposite, one article and one martial arts, obviously arguing, but tacit understanding and complementing each other. It's incomprehensible.
