Gao Longzang hurriedly broke into this small palace and found that there seemed to be some residual warmth on a bed. And in a cup at the head of the bed, there is still warm water.

This also means that it may not be too long for the imperial grandson to leave here.

It was at this time that suddenly there was the sound of a person's footsteps outside. The footsteps seemed to be a little hurried, and the speed was also very fast.

The sound of footsteps ran straight to the door, and there seemed to be a sound of surprise - "Damn, where is that Kentaro?" ”

Then the man pushed open the door and was shocked. Because the imperial grandson in the palace is gone, but there is only a middle-aged man about forty years old!

Suddenly, this guy who rushed in pulled out his long knife and said angrily: "Who are you, where is His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson?!" ”

Although Gao Longzang was also a little anxious, he had to be calm in front of major events, so he said indifferently: "I still want to ask you, where is the imperial grandson!" There is not even a guard around the grandiose grandson, how do you do things? Oh, my last name is Miyamoto. ”

"Huh? Miyamoto Okendemoo?! The guy was taken aback. However, now there is a narrative about the appearance of the "Miyamoto Great Swordsman" in rumors, this guy took a closer look, coupled with Gao Longzang's mastery style, it really looks more and more like.

In that case, the guy believed it. He should have been pleasantly surprised, but now that the imperial grandson is gone, he has no heart to think about anything else, so he can only say nervously: "It turned out to be Your Excellency the Great Sword Hero!" I...... My name is Yukitomi Murayama, and I am one of the guards of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson. Tonight, Kentaro and I worked together to protect the imperial grandson. ”

Through this kind of introduction, Gao Longzang understood the truth of the matter.

It turned out that this Murayama Yukitomi and the disappeared Kentaro were both from the palace guard camp. The establishment of this guard battalion is relatively small, and its general strength is not as good as that of the samurai, but it is the palace attendant, which is equivalent to the Ouchi sword guard, responsible for the daily security work in the palace.

Now the identity of the imperial grandson is extremely sensitive, so the steward of the guard battalion sends two good hands every day to protect the imperial grandson. Today's turn to be on duty is Yukitomi Murayama and Kentaro.

Just now, Yukitomi Murayama heard what seemed to be movement in the darkness outside, so he immediately ran out to investigate. Anyway, Kentaro was left behind, and it wasn't defenseless here.

As a result, Yukitomi Murayama didn't notice anything, so he turned back. But this time I was surprised to find that the imperial grandson was gone, and even Kentaro was gone.

Gao Longzang frowned and said, "Looking at it this way, that Kentaro is also extremely suspicious. If outsiders come in, unless they are extremely strong masters, it will be difficult to kill Kentaro without any movement and take away the imperial grandson. And according to your narrative and the residual warmth on this bed, it means that the imperial grandson has not been long gone. If there was a fight, I should be able to hear it within two hundred meters. It can only be said that there was no fight here, so Kentaro was very suspicious. ”

Murayama Yukitomi was immediately annoyed, and said in his heart that if Kentaro's bastard robbed the imperial grandson, it would be a shocking thing. Moreover, since he Murayama Yukitomi is also the escort on duty tonight, he is also to blame.

Gao Longzang said: "Without further ado, I'll go and investigate it immediately." You inform your superiors of this matter, and mobilize the entire palace guard force to search with all their might. ”

"Also, there are three roads leading outside. One of them leads to the main hall, which is full of people and horses, presumably the other party does not dare to take the imperial grandson to that place. Even if you go there, your superiors will be able to mobilize the men and horses over there to search with all their might. ”

"The rest is a small road that leads to the East Garden. As soon as you report to your superiors, follow this path. As for the last road to the edge of the moat, this is the most treacherous, I'll go this way! ”

With that, Gao Longzang quickly left the place and headed straight for the smallest road leading to the moat. This path is usually just a place for royals to relax and stroll, and there are not many people on weekdays.

If the other party robbed the imperial grandson, this is the most likely way to escape.

There is another point, Gao Longzang did not say explicitly - he sneaked over from the East Imperial Garden just now. If there is no situation along the way, it means that after the other party plundered the imperial grandson, the possibility of escaping from that road is very, very small. It's just that the possibility can't be completely ruled out, so I asked Yukimi Murayama to check it.

The possibility of three roads, both of which are very unlikely, is very small, so Gao Longzang chose to search the third one by himself. There's no way, now that the time is urgent, it's complicated, and he doesn't dare to fully believe it from anyone, including that Murayama Yukitomi. The most trustworthy is only himself.

……

After running along this path for about two minutes, Gao Longzang heard what seemed to be a faint movement in front of him.

Rushing over, I saw a sturdy man running fast on the deep path in front of me, carrying something on his back. Even if he is carrying this sack-like thing, his running speed is still about the same as that of ordinary people, which shows that this person is also a good practitioner.

This guy is none other than Kentaro, and he is also one of the guards of the imperial grandson tonight. Gao Longzang guessed right, it was this guy who robbed the imperial grandson!

It's just that his speed is still far inferior to Gao Longzang. So even after running for a while in advance, and there was a big bag on his back, he was caught up by Gao Longzang in two minutes.

And by this time, he had also reached the river. Swimming out of this moat, you are out of the confines of the palace.

Here, too, there is a guy in charge of guarding. It's just that after seeing Kentaro coming, instead of being surprised, the guard whispered, "Got it?" Hurriedly! ”

I told the bastard that they were accomplices in stealing chickens and dogs.

Kentaro nodded, unloaded the sack-like package from his body, and placed it heavily on the ground. Suddenly, there was a muffled snort from inside the sack, it should be a person! It's just that the voice is not loud, and obviously the mouth or something is sealed.

"Hey, the imperial grandson is still awake?" Kentaro muttered, "The top is too careful, I have to sink in this moat and drown." If it was in the dormitory just now, he would have been able to kill him with a knife. ”

The guard whispered, "Be quiet...... However, the above idea is also correct. If you kill the imperial grandson with a knife there, leaving any traces of blood, it will be equivalent to directly proving that the imperial grandson is dead, and the sensation will be too great. ”

"Now that the corpse is sinking at the bottom of the river, it can only be announced that the imperial grandson is missing. When the time comes, it's just a matter of missing anyway, so I'll just keep 'looking'. If you can't find it in one day, you will look for it for two days; If you can't find it in a year, you will look for it for two years......"

"After a long time, this matter will slowly fade away."

When Gao Longzang, who was not far away, heard this, he said in his heart that these guys are really ruthless. It's too dark to drown a seven-year-old doll alive in the river!
