The other garden is not big, although it is possible to hide someone, but a few guards want to find it, it must be able to find it, but a few guards scattered around to find it have returned one after another, and the minions of the other garden have also found someone to come over to repair the smashed gate, but there is only one guard who has not returned, that is, the cronie left by Prince Jian.

Even if you look carefully, it won't take such a long time, not to mention that there are still several guards scattered together to search, and the range that everyone can find is not large.

"Has anyone seen the Lu guard?" asked one of the guards.

The other guards all shook their heads, looked at each other, and when they first dispersed, they also saw Lu Guard, because they were a close confidant of Prince Jian, and they were also a little familiar with Aunt Zhou, so Aunt Zhou was on his side to check the situation.

After waiting for a while, there was still no figure of the Lu guard, several of the guards were a little suspicious and worried, and glanced at the servants of the other garden who were working, "A few of you sent someone to go to Aunt Zhou's side to take a look, there is a Lu guard over there." ”

A slave put down the work in his hand, turned around and walked towards the place where Aunt Zhou was resting, and turned back after a short time, "I didn't see Escort Lu, Auntie Zhou has already rested, and the slave who served Aunt Zhou said that she had never seen Escort Lu." ”

Several guards immediately glanced at each other, knowing that something was wrong, there must be someone they didn't know hiding in this garden, maybe the Lu guards happened to meet them, maybe there was an accident.

Suddenly, there was a frightened scream not far away, and several guards immediately rushed to the place where the sound came from, it was a deep well in the courtyard to get water, and a working slave was taking a bucket and putting it down to get water, but at this time he was dancing on the edge of the well, his face was pale, as if he was frightened by something, and the wheel that carried the water turned quickly on its own, and the rope quickly fell into the well, and the bucket fell crookedly next to the well.

"What's wrong?" a guard grabbed the jumping minion and controlled his waving hands and feet, his voice sank, "What do you see?"

"Inside, inside—" said the minion with a pale face and a trembling voice, "there's someone inside!"

The other guards next to him immediately went to shake the wheel, a little heavy, it seemed that something was pulling at the other end of the rope, and the two guards shook the wheel up with force at the same time, first one foot came up, firmly tied by the rope, and then a person hanging upside down on the rope, it was the Lu guard who had not appeared, his face was pale, and he had lost his breath.

Several guards dragged Lu Escort up, and found that there was a deep wound on his neck, which should have been injured by a sharp blade, at this time, there was no blood flowing out, and his body had already cooled down, and he had been dead for some time, probably after a few of them dispersed, there was an accident, his eyes were wide open, and his face was frightened, as if he had seen some terrible person or thing, and he didn't notice the other party's way for a while.

"It's dead. One of the guards tested the pulse and breath of the Lu guard, and whispered.

"There must be someone in the compound. Another guard blurted out, "Escort Lu is the one with the highest martial arts among us, but he was killed like this, we need to inform the prince immediately." ”

"I'll go and report to the prince. The guard who tested the pulse and breath of the Lu guard just now said, with a slightly frightened expression on his face, he was the weakest martial artist among the several guards, and the Lu guard was the master of several of them, but he was killed in such an unknown way, and no one noticed, if he stayed here, maybe he would be the next one to have an accident, or it would be safer to report to Prince Jian.

"Good. Several of the other guards did not object.

Although the martial arts of several of them are not as good as Lu Guard, as long as they stay together, there should be no accident, no matter how high the martial arts of the person who killed Lu Guard, it is impossible to kill several of them at the same time, and there are also minions of the other garden, the reason why Lu Guard was killed must be that he saw something that he shouldn't see when he looked around, which led to the disaster of killing.

Prince Jian's carriage returned to King Jian's mansion, Prince Jian got down from the carriage and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves from behind, and subconsciously looked back, and saw a guard who had stayed in Aunt Zhou's Villa jumping off the horse with a frightened face, "Lord Wang, something happened." ”

Prince Jian's face sank, "What's wrong, so panicked!"

The guard covered his chest, chasing a little urgently, his breath couldn't keep up, and he gasped for a while, "Lord Wang, something happened to the Lu guard, he, he was found dead in a well in Aunt Zhou's garden, he was slashed in the neck, and when he found it, he had no breath." ”

Prince Jian didn't understand a little, his eyes widened, and he asked after a while, "What did you say?"

"The subordinate said that Lu Huwei was killed. The guard immediately repeated his answer.

"The king has just left. "Prince Jian didn't believe it, Escort Lu was a guard with very good martial arts beside him, and he was his cronies, so he chose Escort Lu to stay in Aunt Zhou's garden to inspect the situation, "How long has it been, how could he be killed, haven't you found out?"

"Nope. The guard lowered his head, "After the prince left, Lu Escort arranged for a few of us to disperse and inspect in the courtyard, because Escort Lu is the personal guard of the prince and is more familiar with Aunt Zhou, so he went to Aunt Zhou's side to inspect, but a few of us looked around and did not find anything abnormal and returned to the front yard, only Escort Lu did not come back, Aunt Zhou's garden is not big, and a few of us are also a little strange, it stands to reason that no matter how carefully we search, Escort Lu has not come back for too long. A few of us discussed, and let the minions of Aunt Zhou's other garden go to Aunt Zhou's resting place to see, but the minions who went came back and said that not only did they not see the figure of the Lu guard, but even the personal slave who served Aunt Zhou also said that they had not seen the Lu guard, and we felt that there might be an accident, and there may be a killer hidden in the courtyard that we didn't know. ”

Prince Jian's face changed, and sure enough, Aunt Zhou's disappearance was very strange, the reason why she didn't tell herself, and she didn't allow the servants sent by King Jian's Mansion to go in, must be because there was a killer hidden in the courtyard.

"Go find a few guards with outstanding martial arts. King Jian said angrily, "This king wants to see what that slut is playing with this king! Someone, go and inform Jian Ye, saying that this king has something to discuss with him, and wants him to rush to Aunt Zhou's side immediately, the matter is urgent, the sooner the better." ”

Among his children, Jian Ye has the best martial arts, the most masters, and the smartest, and is also the one that the Queen Mother likes the most, including the current emperor, who also said that the future throne is his youngest son, no matter who is hidden in Aunt Zhou's courtyard, as long as Jian Ye and his subordinates are there, he is safe.

When I returned to Aunt Zhou's villa, the gate had not been completely repaired, and several of the working minions had uneasy expressions on their faces, and several other guards were guarding in the front yard. ”

"What about the Lu Guard?" King Jian frowned and glanced at everyone, "Why are there two less?"

"It's still by the well. One of the guards said respectfully, "I was afraid that bringing them here would scare these minions, so the body was still left by the well, and a few minions and two guards were sent to guard it." ”

Prince Jian paused, and looked back at the guards beside him, "Is Jian Ye here?"

"Not yet, but someone has been sent to inform you. The guard said respectfully, "Princess Jian said that the little prince is currently living in another garden, because he doesn't know where to stay in another garden, so he has to look for several other gardens one by one, and it will take some time. ”

Prince Jian nodded and thought for a while, "Go and see the situation at the well." ”

"Yes. The guard agreed, and took three guards led by the guard who had spoken before, and hurried towards the well, and in the distance, he saw several people standing beside the well, as if they were looking intently at something.

Getting closer, the guard was just about to speak, but immediately stopped, and signaled everyone with his hand not to continue to walk forward, several people next to the well didn't seem to hear their voice at all, still looking at the well intently, the body of the Lu guard was placed on the side of the well, and no one looked at it.

"Hey, what are you guys looking at?" the guard asked.

No one answered his question, but they all looked at the well quietly, as if it had the most interesting thing in the world, and attracted all their attention.

Several of the guards looked at each other with cautious expressions on their faces, drew their weapons, and slowly approached the men, who were still facing away from them, quietly looking at the well.

The guard, who was walking in the front, gently poked the back of the person closest to him with the weapon in his hand, and the man's body shook a few times, and he actually plunged into the water, and when he heard a pop, several other people standing seemed to move, and planted into the well one after another, making a continuous popping sound.

"They were bound hand in hand with ropes. One of the guards shouted and grabbed the feet of the last person who had been planted in the well, and several other guards immediately rushed forward to help and dragged the person who had been planted in the well out.

Only then did they find out that these people had been pointed at acupuncture points, their hands and feet were placed in front, and they were tied by a rope, and they couldn't see it from behind.

"They still breathe. The guard tested the pulses and breaths of several people, "but they were all unconscious." ”

"Go and inform the prince. The guard who took the lead said loudly, "Everyone be vigilant, maybe this person hasn't left the other garden yet, notify the other guards to protect the prince!"
