In an inconspicuous courtyard somewhere in the city, the leader of the man in black, that is, the deputy hall master, knelt in front of a man wearing a black gauze hat and dressed in black.

The man in black sitting on the chair suddenly raised his foot and kicked the deputy hall master in the heart: "Idiot! ”

The deputy hall master, who was caught off guard, leaned back, his body slid towards the door a few meters against the ground, and then the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood violently, and his face was as white as snow in an instant.

Regardless of the surging qi and blood in his body, the deputy hall master struggled to get up, and then crawled in front of the man in black, looking up at the man in black in confusion: "Right Protector ......"

"Shut up!" Leng Leng interrupted the deputy hall master who didn't know that he had made a mistake, and the right protector in the mouth of the deputy hall master burst out with a violent aura, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of temperature: "The palace is heavily guarded, how can you and other fools who have no brains come and go freely?" Also, Emperor Huiwen and Mu Qingyun City Mansion are unfathomable, how can they easily let you wait for a fool with no brains to calculate? ”

The deputy hall master lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but he was very angry and angry in his heart: they are fools with no brains, but the right protector has not been planted in the hands of the ninth princess several times, so what is the right protector?

"Say, who gave you the courage to break into the palace at night and rob Gong Yingjie?"

"Back to the right protector, my subordinates heard that Gong Yingjie had evidence of the court officials' collaboration with the enemy and treason, so they thought that as long as we succeeded in robbing Gong Yingjie, we would not only be able to use Gong Yingjie's hatred with the royal family to deal with Emperor Huiwen and the Nine Princesses, but also get those evidence to threaten those court officials for our use, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!" The deputy hall master vigorously argued.

"I heard?" The Right Dharma Protector snorted coldly: "When did the subordinates of this Dharma Protector dare to act without permission just by hearing about it?" Why didn't you make this Dharma Protector clear in advance? ”

"My subordinates have sent a message to the right protector, but there has been no response, so my subordinates decided to ......"

"Nonsense! This Dharma Protector has never received any letters. ”

The deputy hall master was stunned, looked up at the right protector suspiciously, and said, "Impossible! The subordinates obviously sent a letter to the right protector, how could they not have received it? ”

"Did you deliver the message yourself, or did you send someone else? When was it preached? Where did the letter go? ”

"A few days ago, my subordinates personally sent a letter to the Right Protector to explain our plan, and the letter was placed in the secret compartment of the Yipin Xiang Pujia Pavilion;

Two days later, the subordinates thought that the right protector should have instructions, so he went to the Pujia Pavilion again, but found that there was nothing in the secret compartment, and after several days, the subordinates went there and still did not have any instructions;

It wasn't until this afternoon that Dai Kun came to his subordinates and said that everything was in order, and his subordinates had no choice but to act rashly, but he didn't expect that Dai Kun's villain actually co-starred in a play with the Ninth Princess, and induced his subordinates to wait for them to fall into the trap they had set up, but fortunately, his subordinates immediately kidnapped Gong Yingjie, and left safely without any casualties. ”

"Why don't you bring the letter here?"

"Please forgive the right protector! Nothing major happens, and you rarely come to this small courtyard, so ...... The subordinates had to put the letter in a pint of incense, just now the subordinates also went to a pint of incense, and didn't see the right protector to come here, thinking that something happened in the palace tonight, the right protector should have already known the way. ”

"So it's the Dharma Protector's fault?" The Right Protector sneered.

The deputy hall master lowered his head more and more, and said in a muffled voice: "The subordinates know their mistakes, please punish the right protector!" ”

Knowing that it is useless to investigate the mistakes made by this simple-minded subordinate, after all, there are more important things to be solved, the right Dharma Protector's white fingers lightly clasped the armrest of the chair, and seemed to ask himself: "Who is it who has seen through that Yipinxiang is related to this Dharma Protector, so as to take away that secret letter?" ”

"Could it be Dai Kun? In the past few days, his subordinates have only had contact with Dai Kun, and then handed it over to the ninth princess. The deputy hall master guessed cautiously.

"No way!"

The fingers of the right protector lightly buttoned the armrest of the chair suddenly: "Yipinxiang's contact point is only known to the two of you, this protector and you, and the shopkeeper and the guys in the store are just ordinary people, no matter how powerful Mu Qingyun is, he can't find any clues." ”

Feeling a cold aura coming towards him, the deputy hall master couldn't help but tremble, did the right protector suspect him?

"The subordinates are loyal to the right protector, and they will never betray the right protector when they die, and ask the right protector to learn from it!" After the deputy hall master finished speaking, he kept kowtowing, his already pale face became bloodless, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Since the day the Right Protector joined the Absolute Dust Palace, he has been following the Right Protector, knowing too well that the Right Protector is cold-blooded and ruthless, especially against those who betray the Right Protector, that method is simply outrageous.

"Alright, this Dharma Protector believes in your loyalty." The right protector waved his hand impatiently to stop the deputy hall master's kowtow to show loyalty: "Let's talk about what happened tonight first." ”

Ignoring the blood stains on his forehead and the corners of his mouth, the deputy hall master slowly recounted what happened tonight from beginning to end.

"Are you saying that Mu Qingyun agreed to let you go because of Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hand?"

Hearing the strangeness in the tone of the right protector, the deputy hall master didn't know why, shook his head and nodded again, and said: "At first, the ninth princess didn't say anything, it was Emperor Huiwen who came and said that she would let her subordinates leave, and the ninth princess didn't dare to disobey Emperor Huiwen's will, so she agreed, and kept her promise and didn't send anyone to follow her." ”

"You have been deceived by Mu Qingyun."

The deputy hall master's face changed: "The meaning of the right protector is ......"

"Since Mu Qingyun dares to design except for Gong Yuanhao, how can he care whether Gong Yingjie is dead or alive? And the imperial court has just experienced civil strife and disposed of a group of court officials, Emperor Huiwen and Mu Qingyun are doing everything possible to stabilize the situation, how can they use the evidence in Gong Yingjie's hands to find out those traitors, causing turmoil in the government and the opposition and unrest in the people's hearts? ”

"But isn't it rumored that Gong Yuanhao died at the hands of his own people?"

"Only a fool like you would believe rumors." The right protector said coldly: "Gong Yuanhao has been planning for so many years, and his power is immeasurable, if he is escorted to Beijing, it will take at least more than twenty days, who can guarantee that there will be no incidents in the middle;

Even if he is lucky enough to enter Beijing, Gong Yuanhao is the hereditary prince of the dynasty, holding the gold medal of avoiding death given by Sima Yan, and he has the grace to save his life for Emperor Huiwen, even if he is convicted, he will not die, so Gong Yuanhao will definitely make waves;

Obviously, Mu Qingyun had already thought of this, so he would design in Jiuyuan County except for Gong Yuanhao once and for all! ”

"The Ninth Princess is so scheming!" The deputy hall master sighed secretly.

"Mu Qingyun's mental strategy can be described as outstanding, and even this Dharma Protector has to be admired." The right protector's voice was cold: "Since Mu Qingyun has gone to great lengths to arrange this trap, it is naturally impossible for you to escape easily, if this protector is not mistaken, those horses have been manipulated by Mu Qingyun." ”

"How is this possible? Our men checked the horses for no problems and confirmed that no one was tracking them......"

"That's because you forgot that Mu Qingyun has a Mo Xuan who is known as a doctor and poison, although he has disappeared, but with his care about Mu Qingyun, he will definitely leave a lot of strange medicines, such as the kind of medicine that tracks his whereabouts, the medicine developed by Mo Xuan himself, and you can see what clues you have with your Taoism."

The deputy hall master's face turned as white as snow, and then became hideous and distorted: "Aren't those dozens of brothers ......?"

"Either captured or with no bones left!" There was a faint hint of gnashing of teeth in the deep voice of the right protector: "I believe that Gong Yingjie has fallen into the hands of Mu Qingyun at this moment." ”

Standing up suddenly, the deputy hall master said hatefully: "My subordinates will kill Mu Qingyun's slut and avenge the brothers!" With that, he rushed out.

"Stand!"

The right protector suddenly slapped his palm on the table beside him, the wooden table collapsed with a bang, and the tea cup on the table also fell to the ground and shattered, and the faint fragrance of tea flowed quietly in the air: "Do you want to die if you go now?" ”

"Right Dharma Protector ......" The deputy hall master turned to look at the right Dharma protector.

"Since you want to die, this Dharma Protector will fulfill you!" took out a dagger and threw it at the feet of the deputy hall master, and the right protector said angrily: "This Dharma protector has wasted all these years of hard work, it's a big deal to cultivate another subordinate!" ”

"My subordinates are wrong, ask for forgiveness from the right protector!" When the deputy hall master heard this, he knelt heavily on the ground and rubbed his knees and crawled in front of the right protector, kowtowing with red eyes.

In the end, he has been with his subordinates for many years and is still loyal, the right protector sighed slightly, and was about to speak to dissuade the deputy hall master.

Suddenly perceiving a faint trace of strange breath in the air, the right protector couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his white hand as jade raised the jaw of the deputy hall master, and said gloomily: "You dare to betray this protector and seek death!" After speaking, with a wave of his right hand, the dagger on the ground fell into the right protector's hand in the blink of an eye, and he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the heart of the deputy hall master, and the blood gushing out splashed the right protector's body.

He looked down at the dagger that was deep in his heart, and then looked up at the right protector, the eyes of the deputy hall master were full of surprise and disbelief: "Subordinate...... didn't recite the ......" Before he finished speaking, the whole person fell to the ground in a daze, his eyes wide open, as if he was dead.

"This Dharma Protector has cultivated you for so long, and it is time for you to be loyal, if you don't die, how can this Dharma Protector get out?" The right protector originally wanted to pull out the dagger and take it away, but the breath was getting closer and closer, so he had to give up, get up and walk to the corner in the direction of his left hand, press the mechanism, and a secret passage was suddenly revealed on the ground under his feet.

The door suddenly opened, and a group of purple-clothed guards walked in with Qingyun escorting them.

Looking at the dead deputy hall master, Qingyun sighed softly: "We're late." Not only did she let people get soul-chasing incense on the horses, but after listening to Dai Kun's secret report this evening, she also made soul-chasing incense on Gong Yingjie, just to find out the hidden person along the vine, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.
