The little partridge and Chunsheng walked closer to the deep alley, and walked into the deep alley.

At this moment, the place where the two of them were standing side by side was also the place where Princess Rongyue and Zhang Zhufeng were standing at that time, Chunsheng frowned, pointed to a mark on the wall, and said, "Look at this." ”

It was a mark that was not too deep to be seen if you didn't pay attention. But now it's close, so it can be seen and roughly recognized, and it should have been left by something sharp across the wall, not too conspicuous, and it is impossible to tell whether it was left intentionally or accidentally.

The little partridge stroked the mark very lightly and asked, "How did you see that even I didn't notice this at the time?" ”

Chunsheng frowned: "You were still arguing at the time, maybe you didn't notice it for a while, right?" ”

The little partridge withdrew his hand, sighed, and said, "You are a very smart person. ”

After saying that, he turned his head, looked in a certain direction, and did not speak. Chunsheng thought it was strange and asked him, "Isn't this trace of any use?" ”

"The traces are new, and they should not have been left too early, even about the same time as when we came to this neighborhood," everything was judged by the little partridge based on experience, "This should be the clue left to us by the people who were originally in this place, and the direction it points in is the direction in which they are going." ”

"And who could have left this trace?" Chunsheng followed him and looked in one direction.

Little Partridge shook his head: "It's not very clear at the moment. Although it was a mark that only a sword could have left, that kind of weapon was very rare, and even I didn't seem to have seen it before. ”

"Haven't seen it? How can he still be called the apprentice of the golden partridge? A flirtatious and playful voice rang out on the side.

This voice is not unfamiliar to the little partridge, and it is also true for Chunsheng.

The two of them followed the sound together, and saw a man squatting on the wall, smiling at the little partridge and Chunsheng. Judging by his attire, he was supposed to be a guard in this palace, but it was the first time he had been seen dressed like this.

"Is that you?" The little partridge frowned, slightly surprised.

"Cousin?" Chunsheng and the little partridge spoke together.

The one who squatted on the wall was also the Crane Gongzi who wanted to kill Liu Qingyan under the instruction of Nangong Hui.

Chunsheng and the little partridge opened their mouths together, and they were stunned again and looked at each other. But the crane boy laughed: "You two don't have to be surprised, I am now a guard in the palace, responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the queen." Now, when I heard about such a thing, I wanted to come and take a look. ”

As he spoke, he jumped down from the wall, stood beside the little partridge and Chunsheng, glanced at the marks on the wall, and said, "This should be left by the people of Haiguo, this kind of knife is only available in Haiguo." The people in our Chu State can't be cast at all. ”

Chunsheng frowned and said, "Could it be the traces left by Princess Rongyue?" But doesn't she know martial arts? What did she leave with? ”

Gongzi He glanced at him with a smile: "How do you know that Princess Rongyue doesn't know martial arts?" ”

Chunsheng pouted: "A princess, of course, it's unlikely that she will be able to do martial arts, isn't this normal?" ”

"It's really pedantic to say that you are pedantic, and your brain refuses to move for a moment," Crane Gongzi raised his hand and flicked it on his forehead, "Although Princess Rongyue is a princess, it is of course unreasonable to say that if she goes to learn martial arts, what is impossible in this world?" If Princess Rongyue insists on going her own way, as a princess, how can she not do anything? ”

"Then how can you be so sure that this is Princess Rongyue? It's not just Princess Rongyue who came to our palace......" Chunsheng still refused to admit what he said.

Crane Gongzi stared at him: "When you say that, are you telling me that you absolutely refuse to believe me?" ”

Chunsheng turned his face away and refused to speak. Crane Gongzi sighed: "It's really my good cousin, from childhood to adulthood, he has had such an attitude towards me." Pity me, I've been thinking about you, but I don't trust you like this......"

The little partridge raised his hand and pressed Tsuruko's shoulder, pushing him against the wall.

He glanced at Crane Gongzi coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Me?" Crane Gongzi smiled, "Of course I'm here to help you, there are some things that you naturally don't know as well as me." ”

"What do you mean?" The little partridge's expression was still cold, and he didn't give him a good look at it at all.

"What exactly are you here for?" Chunsheng also looked at him with a wary face.

Crane Gongzi sighed and rubbed his shoulder, which was probably hurt by the little partridge's push just now: "I was so kind and kind to think about you, but what about you?" Don't believe me, and doubt my intentions? ”

The little partridge said coldly: "I know very well who you used to be. You're coming to help us now for no reason? There is no reason for this. ”

Crane Gongzi looked at him, smiled, asked him carefully, and said, "Then I don't know if you have heard of Lord Little Partridge...... Abandon the dark and turn to the light? ”

The little partridge was stunned. Crane Gongzi continued: "I have done a lot of bad things in the past, but I suddenly woke up between many encounters later, I think that we are now prosperous and prosperous, the emperor and the queen mother have a heavenly holy virtue, we should do a good job for the emperor and the queen mother, so I came." ”

"You don't lie to people." Chunsheng snorted, still refusing to believe him.

"I didn't lie to you," Tsuru sighed and grabbed Chunsheng's arm, "You don't remember?" When I was young, I heard that you were sick, and I went to see you and brought you medicine. You probably don't remember, when I braved so much snow to go to your house, I almost fell to my death, and I almost froze to death. ”

Chunsheng snorted, "What about last year? Last year, my mother was sick in bed, why didn't you come to see me? Aren't you powerful? Why is it as if there have never been two relatives, my mother and me? ”

After a pause, Chunsheng shook off the hand that grabbed his arm and said, "If it weren't for the queen's mother, my mother must have died of illness." I don't appreciate you, and I don't believe you. ”

He Gongzi really had no choice, so he had to sigh: "You all refuse to believe me, then I have to prove myself with my own actions." ”

"Your actions?" The little partridge looked at him suspiciously.

Gongzi Crane turned to the wall with traces, and said, "This sword is a soft sword that Princess Rongyue asked the most famous swordsmith in the entire Sea Country to cast by herself, it is very rare, and the material is still meteoric iron. ”

He turned to the little partridge and Chunsheng again, and said, "And this trace should be left by Princess Rongyue in a desperate situation, just now the little partridge said that this points in the direction they are going, but it is not." ”

"What's that?" The little partridge gave him a cold look, not quite liking the feeling of being denied like this.

"Princess Rongyue is facing a murderous monk, she has no strength to resist, where is there time to leave such a trace? What's more, she didn't know exactly where the murderous monk was going," said Gongzi He, "Besides, if Princess Rongyue had the ability to leave such traces, why didn't she shout for help at that time?" ”

"Maybe the murderous monk took control of her." Little Partridge said.

Crane Gongzi glanced at him: "Yes, you can indeed control her." But who is the murderous monk? He has seen the reactions of countless killed people before they die, and naturally knows that there are countless people who want to leave something before they die, Princess Rongyue deliberately left such a scratch, will the murderous monk not find it? ”

Chunsheng frowned: "Can you just say that something might have happened?" The more you wrap around, the more dizzy you get. ”

"That's because you're smart, but you're not smart enough," Tsuru smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "According to my guess, this mark must have been left between battles." ”

"Between battles?" The little partridge seemed to have heard something terrible.

Crane Gongzi nodded and said "um": "Yes, between battles." If this were not the case, the murderous monk would definitely erase such traces. Only in between battles, the attention of the killer monk is in other places, for example, Princess Rong Yue, Princess Rong Yue's moves, so he will ignore this trace. ”

The little partridge frowned: "Then how do you know?" ”

Tsuru Gongzi smiled and said, "My experience tells me." ”

He also turned to Chunsheng and said with a smile: "You see, these are things that can't be learned from books. But if you like it, I'll teach you. ”

Chunsheng snorted and looked away: "I don't want to learn from you." ”

"Having said so much," Tsuru Gongzi didn't take Chunsheng's indifference too seriously, but just clapped his palm, "It's time for us to act." Now, come with me to find Lu Yujian. ”

"Lord Lu? You found Lord Lu? Do you know where he is? Chunsheng's eyes suddenly widened.

Crane Gongzi nodded slightly: "I know, if I don't know, what am I doing here to find you?" ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the alley. Chunsheng gritted his teeth and followed: "You are hiding so many secrets, and you have lied to me many times before. I tell you, if you dare to lie to me this time, I will kill you. ”

He Gongzi suddenly stopped and glanced at Chunsheng deeply: "Yes, I have done too many wrong things in the past, if I lie to you this time, I should be a complete sinner." ”
