When Chasing Wind came with people, the shadow had already fainted.

But her life is not a big deal, now I have to wait for her to wake up and ask what happened.

Before that, I'm going to examine her body and see what other injuries she has on her body besides the knife wounds.

"Nan Gongzi, what's wrong?" Chasing Wind looked dazed, and it looked like he didn't know what had happened last night.

"Lord Yao was arrested, and there is one more thing. A new one called Yuen Long was moved next to Yongquan Lake, and last night someone tied it up and set up a very complicated mechanism.

To crack the mechanism, you need to unlock the Wuhou lock. The person who tied him also deliberately left a note and made a leaky pot. said that if the Wuhou lock could not be unlocked within three hours, the mechanism would be triggered, and the bronze tripod hanging above Yuen Long's head would fall back and kill him.

However, I had already gone to Yuen Fu and saved Yuen Long.

The third thing is that Yongquan Lake is frozen. You send someone to the Yuan Mansion to guard it, I'm worried about what the connection between these three things is. ”

"I know, Master Nan specially explained before leaving, when he is not there, we will listen to Nan Gongzi's arrangements."

"You stay here first, I'll go in and check the shadow's wounds, and you send someone to ask the people who live nearby to see if anyone heard anything last night."

"Understood."

After chasing the wind and arranging, I carried the shadow into the room.

After boiling hot water with the cow and preparing the bathtub, he put her in the tub.

Of course, I put it in with my clothes on, but I'm a decent gentleman, how could I have crooked thoughts about Ying'er.

But to check her injuries, you still have to ......

Well, there is no gender in front of the doctor, and I am just treating her now.

So, I had to carefully remove the shadow's coat. Suddenly, I found that there was a palm print on her shoulder blade, but it was no longer obvious. I think it's because I drank the blood, and the speed of my body's recovery has become faster.

If I check it one step later, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the palm print.

Then I checked her back and found that there were also three palm prints on her back. There is something strange about these palm prints, they are blue-black.

It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, it should be purple and black.

There is no need to check elsewhere, these palm prints should be the source of Shadow's internal injuries.

Just as I was about to dress Shadow, she suddenly woke up.

He glared at me fiercely and asked, "What did you do to me?" ”

I replied calmly: "It's nothing, help you check the injury, I want to know why you are injured, so that I can judge who is the one who did it." ”

Shadow snorted, tied up her clothes, and came out of the tub, transforming into a little black cat.

"There were more than a dozen people, all dressed in black, with their faces covered, among them there were demon worlds, and the young lady injured a few, but in the end they were arrested. Before the young lady was arrested, she hid me in a secret room, and I fainted.

But their target should be Miss, otherwise they wouldn't know I was in the secret room. ”

"Is there anything particularly obvious about their martial arts moves?" I asked, frowning.

"No, some people use knives, some people use swords, and there is a special one, with fingers and palms, I was injured by him."

I nodded and replied, "Got it, does Lord Yao usually wear other clothes?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" The shadow shook twice, and the water stains on my body splashed on me.

"Now that she's been arrested, there's no clue, I can only try to find it by smell."

"Yes, Miss wore a bathrobe after showering last night. You haven't had time to wash it yet, why are you doing this? "Even though Shadow is a cat now, she looks very disdainful of me in her eyes.

I can't help it, I haven't seen Yao Xiaomei for a long time, and I don't remember the smell of her very well. Moreover, Mu Qingchen, Tang Jinghong, and Qin Yuetong all have fragrances on their bodies, and it is always easy to get confused after staying with them for a long time.

So Ying'er took me to get Yao's mocking bathrobe.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for the investigation of the case, I would never have made such a ...... Well, this kind of thing.

This is also due to the fact that under my uncle's training, my nose has become extremely inspired, even more sensitive than a dog's nose.

If you rely on blood...... I have to keep bleeding because of Yao's taunting, and I have to prepare for both.

After determining the taste, I took Niu Meng and Chasing Wind and began to search for them.

Of course, you don't have to stand still and sniff it to know where it is. I want to search from place to place, and if Yao Xiaomei is nearby, I can find it by smell.

If I could smell where she was if I wasn't around, I wouldn't be a god.

Fortunately, it was still snowing, and the snow was able to carry away a lot of miscellaneous odors from the air.

When I was about to look for it, Chasing Wind told me that it had snowed last night, but there were no footprints or traces nearby.

Even if they were to clean up their footprints as they walked, there would still be signs when the new snow covered them.

It shows that this group of people did not walk on the street, but walked along the wall and along the house.

The streets in Jinling City are dense, the houses are numerous, and people who are slightly better at light skills can even go out of the city without stepping on the ground.

As soon as he said this, we split up to look for clues in nearby houses.

In the end, Niu Meng found it first, and he called us over and said that there was a clue over there.

I rushed over to chase the wind, and saw that there were many footprints on the roof, but they were covered with snow, and they were not very obvious, and I could only see a rough outline.

According to the footprints, the group walked along the roof of the house towards the west.

Chasing the wind ordered everyone to look for footprints on the roof.

Just searched all the way, chased all the way, and walked to the south of the city. The footprints disappeared on the roof of the last building on the south street of the city, and there was no trace of the street below.

The hand chasing the wind went to ask the soldiers guarding the city and the patrol guards on the city walls, but they did not notice any movement last night.

The people who had investigated the nearby residents had given some clues, and two old men couldn't sleep when they heard the sound of swords nearby, and it was just after the hour.

I stood on the roof and looked at the walls in the distance, and I couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Jiu, this place is not close to the city wall, they won't fly up the city wall, right?"

Chasing Wind explained: "As long as you use the flying grappling hook and take advantage of the gap between the guards' patrols, you can go up to the city wall without touching the ground." Let's go out of the city, if they go out of the city, they can't help but ride horses, right? ”

I nodded, and led them out of the city. After searching the neighborhood, he found a group of snow-covered horseshoe prints, which continued to stretch south.

"Continue to the south, is it to Jiangning?" I asked Chasing the Wind.

Chasing Wind nodded.

"Is there any village in between?"

"Yes, there are craftsmen who rebuilt the imperial tomb."

"Oh? Kwangjong? ”

Chasing the wind nodded a little.

Regarding the mausoleum of Guangzong, it is quite mysterious. He only served as the emperor for twenty-nine days, and he ate the elixir to death, which is known as the "Red Pill Case".

Guangzong's time as emperor was too short, and he didn't build a mausoleum for himself at all, so he used the mausoleum of Emperor Jingtai of Daizong.

Emperor Jingtai was the younger brother of Ming Yingzong, and after the Tumubao Change, Ming Yingzong was captured. His younger brother Zhu Qiyu was temporarily in charge of the country and was made emperor with the year name Jingtai.

But a year later, Ming Yingzong was released back and lived in the palace.

In the eighth year of Jingtai, Emperor Jingtai suffered from a serious illness. The ministers took the opportunity to put Emperor Jingtai under house arrest and re-establish Yingzong as emperor.

Soon after, Emperor Jingtai died of grief.

Yingzong abolished Emperor Jingtai as the prince, and at the same time abandoned the mausoleum that Emperor Jingtai had begun to build in Tianshou Mountain.

And Emperor Jingtai was buried in the west mountain of the capital according to the specifications of the prince, not in Shenlie Mountain.

When Guangzong died, his father Shenzong had not yet been buried, and it was too late to build a mausoleum for Guangzong, so he reactivated the abandoned mausoleum of Emperor Jingtai.

Since it is a converted mausoleum, the choice of craftsmen who build the mausoleum is even more demanding.

It is said that when the mausoleum was rebuilt, some strange things happened, and many craftsmen died. But what happened, even Nan Ya didn't know.

But I didn't expect this group of surviving craftsmen to live near Jinling.

"Chasing the wind, do you know about the reconstruction of the mausoleum back then?" I asked him again.

Chasing Feng shook his head, "I don't know, but I heard some rumors that I met a cat demon in the mausoleum...... Ninth Prince, Lord Nan told us before that if there was nothing important, it was best not to go to that village. ”

I couldn't help but frown, "Why?" ”

"This group of craftsmen is different from ordinary people in all aspects, and there are some people who are not very mentally normal, Nanda once wanted to get rid of them, but they were stopped by Gonggong Wei."

"Wei Zhongxian is thoughtful, I am afraid that he wants to please the emperor by keeping this group of people. After all, the construction of a mausoleum is also a big deal. Let's go over and take a look, I hope Lord Yao's affairs have nothing to do with this group of people. ”

"Do you want to call for more men?" Chasing the wind asked me.

"Chasing the wind, have you ever thought about a question?"

Chasing the wind bowed to me, "Wanggongzi made it clear." ”

"The group of people who kidnapped Lord Yao are strong in martial arts, how could they leave such an obvious clue for us to find? If I were a murderer and wanted to kidnap someone, and I didn't want people to find out, I would definitely do it seamlessly, even make fake footprints, and lead them elsewhere. ”

"The Ninth Prince means that they deliberately left clues?"

I shook my head, "It's hard to say, it's possible that they deliberately led us to that village in order to hope that we would have a conflict with the craftsmen.

It's also possible that they deliberately wanted us to pass. Caught someone and left a clue, just to let us know. If this is the case, Lord Yao's life is worry-free for the time being.

They must have asked us to go over and talk about the conditions. If we can negotiate, you, me, Niu Meng, and the three of us will be enough. If you can't talk about fighting, the more people who go, the greater the sacrifice.

Since Nan Ya often lets you and Hunter Shadow follow around, the strength of the two of you naturally needs not be said.

But most of the remaining people in the Jinyi Guard Soul Exploration Division are ordinary people, and they can't help much if they go. ”

Chasing Feng frowned slightly, "I'm just worried about the safety of Nan Gongzi, Nan Daren has ordered, let's ensure Nan Gongzi's safety." With just the three of us, wouldn't it be too risky? ”

I discussed it with Chasing Wind, and finally decided that the three of us would go. However, he sent someone back to find my uncle, and if we didn't go back within three hours, he would bring someone to find us.

After all, it is difficult to say whether the person who kidnapped Yao Xiaomei was related to those craftsmen.

So, the three of us rode three horses towards the craftsman's village.
