At this time, it was twenty miles away from the hillside outside the Hunting Palace.

Yunxiao held the cold sword in his hand, his eyes seemed to be wrapped in scorching flames, and he looked angrily at the surroundings that had long disappeared and no one.

The secret guards of the palace gathered around him in turn, and reported to him with both hands in fists.

"Brother Yun, it's all the incompetence of his subordinates, and he let people run away."

"This person's light skills are extremely strong, and his body style is quite weird, even if my first-class master of Dawei comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with him."

"What to do? The prince said that he wanted to see people in life and corpses in death, and now that we have lost people, if the prince knows, he will be punished. ”

"Condemnation can only be endured, who let us fail to catch people; Moreover, it also frightened the princess. ”

Listening to the words of the subordinates around him, Yunxiao closed his eyes with sweat, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "If the person is chased and lost, I will go to ask the prince for his guilt; Then you search around and see if there are any clues left. ”

"Yes!"

……

Zhao Ling finally lulled Chu Xingyue to sleep again, and Yunxiao came back from outside with a cold air.

Looking at Yunxiao, who had injuries on his arms and a thick aura of murder all over his body, Zhao Ling glanced at the sleeping Chu Xingyue, raised his head and said to Yunxiao, "Wait outside." ”

Yunxiao received the order, obediently walked out of the room, stood under the flower tree in the courtyard, and waited for Zhao Ling to come out.

The night is as cool as water, and the hunting palace located on Luli Mountain is a little cooler at night than during the day.

When Zhao Ling walked out of the room alone, he saw Yunxiao wiping the hot sweat rolling down his forehead, in such a slightly cool night breeze, he was actually sweating, it can be seen that he tried his best in the process of tracking down the killer.

"Didn't you catch anyone?" Zhao Ling got straight to the point and asked directly.

Yunxiao immediately knelt on the ground, with guilt on his face: "It's the subordinates who are not doing well, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

Looking at the figure of the cloud bow down, Zhao Ling fell silent.

Although he didn't go head-to-head with these killers, he also saw that almost all of them were masters in the process of fighting between the dark guards and the killers.

Especially the killer who directly attacked Chu Xingyue, not to mention the extremely ruthless shot, and his body technique is also very flexible, at first glance, he is the top master among the killers.

Although Yunxiao's martial arts are good, after all, there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains, I thought that I could catch the one who slipped through the net by relying on the number of people, but I didn't expect that this idea was too naïve after all.

Zhao Ling's hand was on Yunxiao's shoulder, and there was danger in his dark eyes: "You have directly fought with these people, have you noticed a little abnormality in the process of fighting?" Or is it to find some useful clues? ”

Yunxiao immediately tried to recall: "Although there are only four killers here, these four people are all extraordinary, and one person can top a team of people; Not only are they excellent at their own work, but they are also proficient in the use of poison. ”

Yes, when one of the killers took out the hidden weapon, Chu Xingyue reminded everyone that the hidden weapon was quenched with poison.

It was really this reminder that exposed her to the killer's sight, and also made the killer with the most powerful move the target to her.

"My subordinates have heard that some of the Jianghu organizations are extremely good at using drugs, but what makes my subordinates strange is ......"

"The strange thing is that it's not strange that these people are good at using drugs, but their skills are a little different from those from the Central Plains, right?"

Zhao Ling took Yunxiao's words and said: "People's habits are difficult to change, just like some people are born left-handed, in order to hide people's eyes, he deliberately uses his right hand; However, to hide is to hide, like the tail of a fox, which can never be hidden; When a person is subconsciously doing a certain action, it is the key to his exposure. ”

Yunxiao looked at Zhao Ling with admiration: "Lord Wang's eyes, the number of martial arts used by these killers doesn't seem to be inappropriate, but after the fight, you can find that some of the movements they do are extremely stiff and dry, as if they want to do it on purpose." ”

"This is their fox tail, desperately trying to cover it, but they don't know that everything is trying to cover up."

Yunxiao hurriedly raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling: "Does the prince have any clues?" The subordinates will do their best to track it down. ”

Zhao Ling's eyes narrowed dangerously: "This king thought of a person, but there was an old fox beside this person who gave him advice, and this king considered that if this king took the initiative to attack, would he startle the snake, so that the old fox thought that this king was doing this without recruiting himself." ”

It was the first time for Yunxiao to see the prince showing such a hesitant look, and immediately expressed his attitude, "Lord, my subordinates are willing to share the worries of the prince." ”

Zhao Ling glanced at Yunxiao with relief, and suddenly remembered that when he was fighting with the killer, Yunxiao had also looked at Chu Xingyue with strange eyes.

"Yunxiao, when the killer attacked, did you hear what the princess said to the king in the house?"

Although Yunxiao didn't quite understand why the princess didn't even go out of the door and knew all about the situation outside, at this moment, when he saw that the prince asked specifically, he knew that this matter must be a secret to the princess.

Yunxiao immediately grabbed the ground with his head, and involuntarily became nervous: "My subordinates won't say much, and I didn't hear what the princess said." ”

Zhao Ling grew up with Yunxiao, how could he not understand his personal right-hand man?

This stupid boy, do you really think that he, Lord Ling, is so foolish?

Zhao Ling thought about it for a while and decided not to hide it from him: "Yunxiao, this king doesn't hide it from you, the princess is indeed different from ordinary people. ”

Yunxiao, who lowered his head, immediately opened his eyes, and the princess's bright smile appeared in front of him.

Zhao Ling continued: "Everything in the world is different, even among human beings, some people will appear to be more intelligent than normal people because of their talents, and the princess is such a person. If this king's prediction is good, the group of killers who came tonight should have noticed that Yue'er was different from ordinary people, so they came to test it. It's a pity that Yue'er is kind-hearted, she doesn't know this, and when she saw that the secret guards were injured by the poisoned secret weapon, she was eager to remind her; But she didn't know that she exposed herself when she was saving others. ”

Now, Yunxiao understands completely.

No wonder the princess can know all the situation in the courtyard in the room, no wonder the princess can see the secret weapon attack clearly in such a dim environment, no wonder the princess covered her mouth so nervously when the princess reminded her, and refused to let her say more.

And in the end, the prince should also protect the princess, so he ordered all four killers to be killed and not one was left.

It's a pity that they didn't realize the hard work of the prince, and the people who came were too strong, so they let these ill-intentioned people run away under their noses.

Thinking about this, Yunxiao immediately blamed himself.

The princess exposes her talents in order to protect them, but the thieves know that she is different.

I'm afraid that in the future, there will be a steady stream of troubles coming to the door, and the princess's talent is likely to be known to everyone in the near future.

At that time, will the princess be regarded as an outlier by ordinary people who don't know the truth?

After all, the human heart is the most complex thing; For people who are different from themselves, they either feel awe or fear.

But whether it's awe or fear, these emotions are extremely hurtful.

Seeing the worried look on Yunxiao's face, Zhao Ling knew that his decision was not wrong; Sure enough, he is the loyal confidant he believes in the most, which is different from the mediocre people in this red world.

"Lord Wang, his subordinates will definitely find out that killer and kill him, and they will definitely not let him expose the princess's natural ability."

Looking at Yunxiao, who couldn't find the killer to fight for his life in the next second, Zhao Ling patted him on the shoulder soothingly.

"This king guesses that no matter how smart that old fox is, he must not be convinced, so he will send someone to investigate; In that case, let's hold our ground for now, lest the old fox really notice anything. ”

Yunxiao is really becoming more and more curious about who the 'old fox' in the mouth of the prince is.

couldn't help it for a while, and asked, "Lord Wang, who is the person you guessed in your mouth?" ”

Zhao Ling's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said, "Northern Mongolian National Teacher, Zhuo Lang!" ”

"What? Could it be the old guy? How could it be ......, hadn't the people from the Northern Mongolian Mission been gone for several days? How could he suddenly turn back and assassinate the princess? ”

Zhao Ling sneered: "This is a beautiful move played by that old fox, everyone will be like you think, the people of the Northern Mongolian Mission have already left Luli Mountain, how can they appear here?" ”

"However, sometimes the truth of the matter is that these are impossible, and you don't want to think about it, these Beimeng people don't leave early or late, why do they just leave immediately after fighting with Yue'er and losing? Is it really as rumored to be ashamed? This king doesn't think so. ”

"But when was the princess's talent discovered by that national teacher?"

Zhao Ling took a deep breath and said: "It is very likely that when Yue'er showed her amazing archery skills, this king of the Northern Mongolia Kingdom has heard a little, and he has always been low-key in Beimeng, but he can influence a lot of the thoughts of the Northern Mongolian Emperor, how can such a person be an ordinary person." After all, the hunting ground fighting arrows are still too sharp for Yue'er, and it is reasonable for people to detect clues. ”

Yunxiao rolled his eyes and said, "My subordinates are bold, I want to ask the prince, since the prince guessed that tonight's killer may be from Beimeng, will there be Mukcha, the first warrior pioneer of Beimeng, among these killers?" ”

Zhao Ling raised the corner of his eyes and looked at Yunxiao: "Of course there is him, this king still suspects that the only killer who ran away in your hands is very likely to be him." ”

At this time, Yunxiao was also blinded.

Defeated in the hands of the No. 1 master in Northern Mongolia, it's not a shame to say it.

Seeing Yunxiao's thoughts, Zhao Ling said sternly: "The princess once said that my Great Wei Erlang will never be inferior to the Northern Mongolian people by half a point, you brought so many Jingwei in the Fuzhong to arrest people tonight, or let people run away; Yunxiao, you can't escape with twenty boards. ”

Yunxiao's shoulders fell, and his face showed concern: "Yes, the subordinates will go to receive the punishment as soon as the morning dawns." ”
