Yun Fei and Yun Feng, as well as the three of Long Ying, led the purple-clothed guards to carefully search every corner of the small courtyard.

Wuying carefully examined the corpse of the deputy hall master, while Zike and Mu Xue guarded Qingyun.

"The soul-chasing incense developed by Mo Gongzi is really powerful, and even the people of the Absolute Dust Palace who often deal with various drugs will not notice it at all, and those who have been in contact with it will also be contaminated unconsciously, and it will not fade for a few hours." Zike exclaimed.

Qingyun smiled faintly after hearing this: "The medicine developed by Mo Xuan is very powerful, but if the man in black didn't hold Gong Yingjie hostage, or if Gong Yingjie changed all his clothes from the inside out, we wouldn't have a way to track it." Fortunately, she thought of this before, so she put the soul chasing incense on Gong Yingjie's clothes.

They followed the soul chasing incense and first found dozens of black-clothed people and Gong Yingjie who were hiding, and then rushed to Yipinxiang, the leading black-clothed man was still missing, and then chased here, but it was still a step late, the black-clothed man died, and the clue was broken.

After inspecting the corpse of the deputy hall master, Dancing Shadow pulled out the bloody dagger and handed it to Qingyun.

"Master, the blood of the man in black has not coagulated, his body is still warm, it seems that he has just died and was stabbed to death in the central vein without defense, it can be seen that the murderer is either a person familiar to the man in black, or his martial arts are stronger than the man in black, and the man in black was killed before he could react."

"You're very reasonable." Qingyun nodded and said, "But I think that person should be someone familiar with the man in black, and nine times out of ten he is the right protector who has never shown up." ”

Zike and Dancing Shadow looked at Qingyun suspiciously.

"First, according to the position and injury of the man in black now, he should have knelt in front of the person sitting on the chair at that time, and the wound would take on a top-down shape, because the incident suddenly pierced the central vein, so the man in black did not react and naturally fell here, which shows that the identity of the person is above the man in black;

Second, you see this dark iron dagger, and the dagger that Lin Han gave me should be from the same material, after special refining, the blade of the cold light is soul-catching, sharpening iron like mud, blowing hair and making decisions, can be described as the best in the knife, and then look at the handle of the knife, a red and a blue two gems that symbolize the same brilliance of the sun and the moon, there is no flaw in the whole body, it is also a fine gem, and the person who can use this dagger will never be an ordinary person;

Third, the left protector and the five hall masters of the Absolute Dust Palace have fallen into our hands, the bamboo hall master and Feng Qingyan are together, and the remaining only two hall masters, the right protector and the wind and thunder, and the right protector sneaked into the capital a few years ago but has not been traced so far, so I guess this person should be the right protector. ”

After a pause, Qingyun continued: "Gong Yingjie has been imprisoned in the Ice Spring Palace for more than a month, and the Right Protector has not moved, either to let something stumble, or to disdain to use Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hands;

Therefore, the robbery of Gong Yingjie should be the act of the man in black without authorization, and then sneaked back to this small courtyard to report to the right protector of the law to plead guilty, the right protector noticed that we were coming, so he killed him ruthlessly, so as to distract our attention and delay time, and take the opportunity to get out;

Mu Xue did not issue a warning, indicating that ......"

Zike instantly understood: "It means that there is a secret passage in this room, and the right protector is to escape from the secret passage, so we didn't find anyone coming out of the courtyard." ”

At this time, Mu Xue suddenly rubbed the hem of Qingyun's skirt with her head, then ran to a corner of the wall and sniffed, and then screamed at Qingyun a few times.

"Mu Xue, did you find anything?"

nodded the wolf's head, and at the same time, Mu Xue used her front paws to pick the ground under her body.

The three of them glanced at each other, then walked to the corner of the wall, and searched carefully.

Soon, Qingyun noticed that in the corner of the wall next to the ground, there was a half-palm-sized wall that was much lighter than the surrounding one, and Qingyun reached out and tried to press the place, and the wall in that place moved inward, followed by a sound on the ground behind him.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage."

Ordered a team of purple-clothed guards to strictly guard the courtyard and not allow anyone to approach, Yunfei and Long Ying took the lead in entering the dark passage with five or six purple-clothed guards holding torches and blades, Zi Ke and Mu Xue walked in the middle with Qingyun escorting, and Wuying and Yunfeng took the rest of the purple-clothed guards to break off, and the group walked cautiously and vigilantly in the narrow and winding dark passage, I don't know how long it stretched.

"Ahead is the end of the dark passage, everyone be on guard!"

Yun Fei, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and reminded everyone, and then he and Long Ying clenched the blade in their hands and moved towards the dark passage step by step.

Out of the dark passage, when they saw the scene in front of them, everyone's faces changed.

Qingyun closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was as deep as the sea, and 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 far from the main courtyard of the Rui Wang's Mansion.

"Princess......" Zike and Wuying looked at Qingyun with worried expressions.

I didn't expect that the end of the dark passage was actually the backyard of King Rui's Mansion, if the right protector was really lurking in King Rui's Mansion with the intention of being unfavorable to King Rui, the princess would be worried and angry about King Rui's concern.

The guards patrolling the night spotted the whereabouts of Qingyun and the others: "What person? Dare to break into the Rui Wangfu at night and take them all! When the guards who came up saw Qingyun's face clearly, they were so shocked that their faces changed, and they hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Subordinates, wait for the ninth princess, the ninth princess is a thousand years old!" ”

"About half a pillar of incense has passed, and you only found out that Bengong and others have arrived, is this how you protect the safety of Rui Wangfu?" With a clear look in his eyes at the palace guards kneeling on the ground, Qingyun said coldly: "If it is not the palace that comes this time, but the real enemy, once King Rui and Princess Rui have something to do, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

"The subordinates are guilty, ask the ninth princess to be gracious!" More than a dozen guards bowed their heads in shame: If it was really an enemy sneak attack, something happened to the prince and princess because of this, and they would not be able to atone for their sins!

It's just that how could the ninth princess suddenly come to the palace late at night and appear in this secluded backyard? Could it be that an enemy has really infiltrated?

Looking at the guards who bowed their heads and confessed their sins, Qingyun neither let them get up, nor reprimanded them again, but there was a deep aura of anger all over his body, if there was an invisible pressure, the guards suddenly felt short of breath, and the chill quickly spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and even their teeth couldn't help but chatter.

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

"Subordinate......

The leading guard was about to answer, Sima Rui suddenly rushed from a distance, obviously looking at the distance, but in the blink of an eye, Sima Rui had already come to Qingyun, the blue jade crown was tied with black hair, the light blue brocade robe lined with his long and tall figure, Su Ri's cold face was soft at the moment, but the dark pupils flashed with joy and doubt, it seemed that he hadn't gone to bed yet, and he rushed over immediately after hearing that Qingyun had arrived.

The close guard, Ah Jun, was a few steps behind, and then the butler ran out of breath with the lantern.

After a while, Xu Kexin hurried over from another direction with the maid Yuechan, like ink with no headdress on her long hair, and her beautiful face was more elegant and gentle in the light moonlight.

Seeing that Xu Kexin's embroidered shoes seemed to be worn backwards, obviously she had fallen asleep, and she didn't pay attention in a hurry after hearing the news, Qingyun frowned slightly, especially when she noticed that Xu Kexin's eyebrows were faintly melancholy, and she didn't come from the same direction as the third brother, and her eyes couldn't help but sink slightly.

"It's so late, how could Jiu'er come to this backyard?" Seeing that Qingyun was thinly dressed, Sima Rui hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her.

Qingyun wanted to return his coat to Sima Rui, but when he saw his worried and loving eyes, he gave up, stepped forward to hold Xu Kexin's arm, and said apologetically: "Jiu'er came here and disturbed the rest of the third brother and the third emperor's sister-in-law, I'm really sorry." ”

"Jiu'er comes to the mansion, the prince and I are naturally welcome, but don't say anything sorry to disturb." Xu Kexin quietly glanced at Sima Rui, and saw that his eyes were only on Qingyun, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then said to Qingyun with a smile: "Why don't Jiu'er come in from the main gate, we can also pick you up." ”

"The third brother and the third emperor's sister-in-law don't know, the people of the Jedi Palace broke into the Ice Spring Palace at night and robbed Gong Yingjie, we tracked it all the way to a mansion in the city, and then followed a secret passage in the mansion to get here."

Sima Rui and Xu Kexin's expressions froze when they heard this: This matter is not trivial, and the remnants of the Absolute Dust Palace must be found out, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Ah Jun, immediately gather everyone in the mansion to come here." Sima Rui stared at the guards who were kneeling on the ground and patrolling the night: "Have you found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace?" ”

The guards obviously realized that this matter was very important, and the leading guards said truthfully: "Back to the prince, the subordinates have not found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace, and the subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the prince!" ”

Seeing Sima Rui's gloomy face and the cold light flashing in his eyes, Qingyun hurriedly said, "Third brother! The man's whereabouts were mysterious and his martial arts were strong, and it was normal for the guards not to find out. Although they were angry that someone had secretly dug such a secret passage, they didn't know anything, but they were the third brother's trusted subordinates, and she couldn't bear it.

"The subordinates thank the ninth princess for their kindness, but the subordinates are indeed deeply responsible, and it is difficult to atone for their sins even if they die!" More than a dozen guards drew their swords from their waists almost at the same time, and they were about to apologize for their crimes.

Who knew that after the two figures, one black and one purple, moved ghostly, they couldn't move, and the blades in their hands fell to the ground one after another, and they had been by King Rui's side for many years, and they naturally knew that the two were the dark guard dragon shadow beside the ninth princess, and the newly appointed purple guard commander Yun Fei.

"The ...... of the Nine Princesses"

"The third brother has always regarded you as relatives and siblings, but you draw your sword so easily to kill yourself, are you worthy of the trust and friendship of the third brother?" Qingyun Qingling said: "If you think that death can solve the problem, then this palace will not stop it anymore!" ”
