Chapter 15 Night Exploration of the Imperial Capital
Xiao Jinyi, the king of Yong, was slightly tired after a day's work, and went back to his room to rest after eating dinner early.
Opening the door, the old prince was stunned, only to see a yellow-robed man in front of his desk with his back to him, staring silently at a painting on the wall.
The figure in Xiao Jinyi's memory and the person in front of him slowly overlapped, and he had mixed feelings for a while, not knowing how to speak.
The yellow-robed man turned around and said, "Little Wu, long time no see." ”
The old prince who had been calling for wind and rain in the temple of the Jin Kingdom for a lifetime turned red in an instant, fixed his mind, and bowed respectfully: "Brother Three Emperors." ”
"You and my brother haven't seen each other for many years, so why do you want to see each other like this?" The man in the yellow robe was Xiao Jinpeng, a member of the Sword Sect, and I saw him raise his one hand slightly, and the old prince's waist couldn't bend down, "The days when we were in the capital in fresh clothes and angry horses are still vivid, fifth brother, you are old." ”
Xiao Jinyi is not an old-fashioned person, although he has not seen the person in front of him for many years, he is still the character in his memory.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jinyi opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Huang came here specifically for the disaster in the city?" ”
"Yes and no, the orders from the top of the sect want me to take care of those three children."
The old prince nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak, when Xiao Jinpeng stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "For the strange things in the recent days, do you know what the fifth brother has in your heart?" ”
Xiao Jinyi said: "I have a little bit of a number in my heart, it should be... ”
Xiao Jinpeng sighed softly in his heart.
。。。
The three members of the Sword Sect Demon Elimination Team gathered to discuss after recuperating in the Yongwang Mansion, at present, Su Su has just entered the foundation, and is proficient in martial arts, and is the strongest link among the three, Li Yunyi is in the tenth layer of qi refining, only a line away from the eleventh layer, Huo Runan has just broken through the seventh layer some time ago, but she is proficient in the art of alchemy, Su Su brought out the spirit beast from the Heavenly Sword City, and under the feed of Su Su with the elixir, the strength has already surpassed Huo Runan.
Originally, those pills should have belonged to a certain rabbit grazing in the back mountain of the Sword Sect.
So the three of them totaled and divided the elixir talisman and magic weapon equally, preparing to act separately, to find out the news, in order to take care of Huo Runan, they deliberately gave Huhu to her, and the Yin Soul Banner issued by the sect was in the hands of Li Yunyi.
It was getting late, and in order not to alarm the people in the palace, Li Yunyi pasted a hiding charm on himself, and left the palace after a few jumps.
He first came to the top of the corner tower on the side of the imperial city, which was just the right height and had a wide view, which was suitable for observation.
There was the Jin Imperial Forest Army on duty on the corner tower, and Li Yunyi listened carefully to the chatting of several armor soldiers under his feet while observing.
"There are more and more people dying here, and even the brothers of the Royal Forest Army are a little frightened."
"No, the head of the west side didn't have anyone at home a while ago, and he's still going crazy to arrest people."
"Ugh."
"Anyway, have you noticed a few brothers recently, Your Majesty hasn't shown up for a while, and I heard a familiar father-in-law say that he hasn't set foot in the harem for a long time."
"Really, change to Lao Tzu, go eight times a day!"
There was a burst of laughter downstairs, and Li Yunyi pouted speechlessly.
"The last time I saw Your Majesty, I don't know if it was Lao Tzu's delusion, I feel that he is a lot younger?"
"You can pull it down, you can see a fart in your phlegm-colored eyes."
Downstairs began to curse and talk nonsense, at this time, Li Yunyi sensed a deep and cold fluctuation coming from somewhere, and after a while, there was a terrible scream in that direction, and he saw the people from the yamen of the outer city of the brigade rushing over with torches.
Li Yunyi followed their firelight, rising and falling on the rooftops of the capital, and the speed was extremely fast.
A large high-ranking house was surrounded by soldiers, and there were yamen officials in the inner courtyard discussing, Li Yunyi quietly leaned over to take a look, and a rotten atmosphere came to his face, as if the corpse of this family had been placed for several days.
"How is this good, even the family of the Ministry of Rites has been poisoned, my lord, we have to discuss a countermeasure!"
I saw a red-robed official complaining to the person in charge here.
The person in charge is wearing a second-class official uniform, and should be an official like a bigwig of the criminal department.
"Without further ado, the old man will enter the palace to face the saint, block the scene, and continue the curfew."
This person is also a resolute person, a few words of orders, and then take the carriage to the palace, Li Yun agreed, and one jumped to the roof of the car, ready to slip into the palace with the carriage.
Through the layers of guards, I came to the imperial study where the emperor Lao'er stayed, which was still brightly lit.
The official of the Criminal Department got the permission to enter and see the emperor, and explained clearly the murder of the family of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yunyi only heard his voice and did not see the emperor's hand, his voice was full of anger, and said: "I know, you go back to rest, I have my own judgment on this matter." ”
Seeing the officials leave worriedly, Li Yunyi was thoughtful.
。。。
Nothing happened that night.
As soon as the sky was bright, Li Yunyi returned to the palace and tore off the amulet, Su Su and Huo Runan had already returned, chatting in the courtyard, and when they saw Li Yunyi returning, they got up and said hello.
Su Sushen said mysteriously: "Senior brother, Senior Sister Huo and I have made a major discovery!" ”
Li Yunyi glanced at her with disgust, and said, "Little junior sister, senior brother, I can see clearly in the corner tower of the Imperial City, who is eating and drinking on a certain street?" ”
"You!" Su Su was trampled on his heels, and he was angry at the crown and went crazy.
Holding the sound of sleeping, Huo Runan opened his mouth: "Okay, okay, since Senior Brother Li is back, let's continue to sum it up, Senior Sister Su said that when she was shopping, she found that there was an abnormality in the depths of the leylines here, and it was suspected that there was a phenomenon of aura convergence; I looked around with my huhu huh, and found some piles in many inconspicuous corners of the city, which did not look like the right way to come. ”
"I went to the place where the accident happened tonight to observe, the deceased seems to have been sucked dry by evil means, otherwise there would not be such a tragic situation, and then I lurked in the palace for a night, and heard that the people in the palace were talking about it, saying that their emperor Lao Er had not shown up for a long time."
After a pause, Li Yunyi remembered something and added: "There is a Royal Forest sergeant who mentioned that the emperor's face has become a little younger, I don't know... ”
The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly had a plan in their hearts.
"Now what we can roughly determine is that there is some unknown formation here, which is related to the palace, and the role of this formation still needs to be explored, so we need to make more preparations."
Li Yunyi nodded, indicating that what Huo Runan said made sense.
The three of them felt that they couldn't act rashly and needed to prepare more.
