In the palace, the banquet was still going on, and the guards behind Zifeng Xiqi suddenly lowered their heads and whispered a few words in their ears, Mo Qi looked at the change in the expression on Zifeng Xiqi's face, and secretly guessed that it was probably related to the man in black.

Sure enough, after listening to the report, Zifeng Xiqi hurriedly got up, "Back to Dongli Shengshang, I'm really sorry, the lord of the country suddenly had an urgent letter, and he had to retire in the future." ”

Ye Cangjue was picking up a glass of wine, and after listening to him, he didn't put down the wine glass in a hurry, but took advantage of the shield of the wine glass to glance at Mo Qi behind him, and learned from Mo Qi's eyes that something should have happened, so he put down the wine glass and said: "It's a pity that this is the case, I wanted to stay drunk with Prince Xi." ”

"It's a pity, if there is a next time, I will accompany you in the next decision." Zifeng Xiqi said and bowed to Ye Cangjue, Ye Cangjue nodded, got up, and said to everyone: "In this way, everyone will disperse." ”

When everyone left, on the way back to the palace, Ye Cangjue asked Mo Qi for details, and Mo Qi told everything about it, "Prince Naxi left suddenly, probably because he was worried that the matter would be exposed, but the last general was more concerned about who the other man in black was." ”

Ye Cangjue didn't answer, leaned on the sedan chair for a long time, and suddenly called someone to stop, and got off the sedan chair by himself, "You go to the Palace of Our Lady with Lone." ”

Mo Qi hurriedly agreed, reflexively waved his hand, and let the accompanying palace maids and guards disperse.

Standing at the gate of the Palace of Our Lady, Ye Cangjue seemed to hesitate slightly, hesitated again and again, and finally turned around again, "You take Gu to the place where the man in black was found." ”

Mo Qi nodded, and hurriedly led the way forward with the palace lamp, and went to the northwest corner gate of the Virgin Mary's Palace, "That's it, at that time, one of the two black-clothed people was inside the wall and the other was outside the wall." ”

Ye Cangjue nodded, took two steps forward, didn't want to step on a hard thing, and looked at it through the light, there was still a slight astigmatism, so he bent down and picked it up, it was actually a copper mirror.

"This bronze mirror?" Mo Qi came up with the palace lamp, "This size and style is very similar to the one that the priest usually wears, could it be that the other man in black is a priest?" ”

Mo Qi said and quickly shook his head to deny himself, "I heard that person speak, it was a male voice, this bronze mirror should just be a statue." ”

"This is no ordinary bronze mirror." Ye Cangjue held the bronze mirror in his hand and looked at it and said, "Lone can feel that there is a spiritual power in this mirror. ”

"A mirror with spiritual powers!" Mo Qi was even more strange this time, but Ye Cangjue didn't bother with this problem anymore, put away the mirror first, raised his feet and went to the corner door to enter.

Since Qi Shangyi left, Ye Cangjue did not let people mention Porcelain Ji, so the thirty maids who followed Porcelain Ji into the Virgin Palace were also sent back to the Porcelain Ji Building, and the Virgin Palace was empty all of a sudden, except for the occasional palace maids who came to clean, and no one kept vigil on the corner gate.

"There's a man lying in the bushes." Ye Cangjue suddenly stopped, and said with his eyes looking in one direction.

Mo Qi hurriedly went over and knocked, it was a palace maid, probed the pulse, got up and said to Ye Cangjue: "It's just that someone knocked me out, it's not a big deal, it should be done by the man in black." ”

"Let the imperial doctor show her, and then ask her what the men in black told her, and want to know the purpose of those people." Ye Cangjue said and glanced around again, it was dark, he couldn't see anything, and it was estimated that it was difficult to see any clues and clues, so he turned around and went back with his hands behind his back.

Here, Guan Jiyun got out of the palace safely in the troupe, Jiang Tong, who had been waiting anxiously outside the palace, hurriedly asked the two of them what they found, Guan Jiyun took a sip of tea and briefly described what happened in the palace again.

"Just looking at the swordsmanship, can you really conclude that he killed everyone in the inn?" Jiang Tong asked, he doesn't know martial arts, and he always feels that there is not much difference in martial arts in the world, how can he determine the murderer with just a few swordsmanship.

"It's not wrong," Guan Jiyun said, "I mentioned the inn at that time, and he didn't deny it, and Mo Qi's spirit beast has been chasing after this person, probably because he has the smell of phantom cherry blossoms on his body." ”

"But he actually grabbed the palace maid and asked about the whereabouts of the priest, indicating that Xiaoqi should not be in their hands," Ji Ziyan on the side interjected.

"Then Miss Qi is not in the palace, who was robbed by whom?" Jiang Tong hurriedly said, because from Guan Jiyun's words, it could be heard that Mo Qi should have been looking for Qi Shangyi all along.

Guan Jiyun was silent for a while, then raised his head, "I think I will sneak into the post station tomorrow, if I can find the Phantom Sakura, rescue it should be able to know Qi Shangyi's whereabouts." ”

"Okay, I'll make you look like a shopkeeper, but you must remember that you are only inquiring about the news during the day, and if you find out, we will discuss the action until the evening," Ji Ziyan nodded in agreement with Guan Jiyun's thoughts, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Tong, "Kyoto, you are less coming, your face is sheng, you go to the door of the post station early tomorrow morning to inquire about the news, remember, don't startle the snake." ”

Jiang Tong nodded very seriously.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Ziyan was preparing to change his appearance for Guan Jiyun in the house, and he didn't want Jiang Tong to hurriedly push the door in, "Oh no, Brother Guan, those Canaan envoys are leaving." ”

"Going? Where to? Guan Jiyun hurriedly stood up and asked.

"I went back to Canaan," Jiang Tong said anxiously, "I heard that the Lord of Canaan was recalled overnight, and they said goodbye to the Holy Lord early in the morning, and are now preparing for departure at the post station." ”

"Oops," Ji Ziyan shouted badly, "Xu was shocked by last night's incident, and they didn't dare to stay longer and had to go back." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's quickly pack up and keep up with them." Jiang Tong said, "No matter how late it is, it will be too late." ”

Jiang Tong was right, the Canaan envoys could go all the way to the official road, unimpeded, and they were all fast horses, if they delayed for a while, it would be even more difficult to catch up. Guan Jiyun grabbed the sword on the side, "Brother Jiang, you go and pack your luggage, and we can go." ”

"Wait a minute," Ji Ziyan stopped Jiang Tong and Guan Jiyun, who were about to go out, "I'll go too." ”

"Brother Ji!" Jiang Tong looked at Ji Ziyan in surprise, he retired a few years ago, created this begonia opera troupe, and never left Kyoto, asked about the world, and now he actually said that he wanted to go to Canaan together, which is really shocking.

Ji Ziyan smiled faintly, "After staying in one place for a long time, I get tired of it, Xiao Qi is my first beginner disciple, and as a master, I should also contribute to her safety." ”

Jiang Tong smiled and nodded, and the three of them quickly packed up and went to chase after the Canaan envoy team who had already left Kyoto, but everything didn't seem to be so good, and Zifeng Xiqi seemed to be aware of their existence. (To be continued.) )
