The words were divided into two ends, on the night of Jiang Xinghe's secret meeting with Zhu Jingqi, Bai Muyun, who had been clueless, finally found the location of Princess Donghua under the guidance of a mysterious person.

But what Bai Muyun didn't expect was that Princess Donghua had been robbed by a group of gangsters of unknown origin at this moment. If you want to save her from the tiger's mouth, you have to work hard.

After Bai Muyun's many investigations over the past few days, he finally found out the identities of these people. It turned out that the person who kidnapped Princess Donghua was the subordinate of Tianji Hall's deputy hall advocate Tianyi.

Tianjitang is a secret organization with an extremely complex background, founded by Zhang Jianyang, a famous former Sui general, and served as the first hall master.

And Zhang Jianyang's original intention of founding Tianjitang was mainly to let those loyal people who were unwilling to belong to the Tang Dynasty have a stable place to live.

Not only that, Zhang Jianyang also deliberately set up three unwritten rules: as a member of Tianjitang, one must not oppress the people, two must not have anything to do with the court, and three must not be treacherous.

However, since Zhang Jianyang's death, these so-called rules have gradually faded and even died. The only thing that remains unchanged is that only the descendants of the Zhang clan are eligible to run for the position of hall master. This rule has been used to this day.

In an instant, Tianji Hall has been established for more than a hundred years. Today, its nature and value have changed dramatically.

Especially in the generation of the current cousin Tianjiao, the changes are the most obvious. Not only has the first female hall master in the history of Tianji Hall appeared, but even the interior of Tianji Hall has been quietly divided into two factions: "black and white".

The main battle of the black faction, most of its members are vicious, insidious and cunning people, led by the deputy hall advocate Tianyi. The Bai faction is the main peace, and most of its members are kind-hearted and indisputable people, led by Tianjiao. The two factions complemented each other and checked and balanced each other, but there was no big conflict.

It is worth mentioning that although these two people are both from Tianji Hall, what they do is completely different.

Zhang Tianyi is a mercenary person, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing he dare not do. What's more, he has a lot of contacts with people in the government, and he has long forgotten the old rules handed down by his ancestors.

Zhang Tianjiao is different, although she looks very strong on the outside, she just wants to manage Tianjitang wholeheartedly and do her best not to get lost too soon. Although she has long hated Zhang Tianyi's despicable behavior, Zhang Tianjiao has never torn her face with Zhang Tianyi because of her affection.

Zhang Tianjiao and Zhang Tianyi are brother and sister, both of whom are after Zhang Jianyang. At the beginning, when the next hall master was elected according to the specific criteria of the previous hall master, his sister Zhang Tianjiao won by an absolute advantage, and then became the first female hall master of Tianji Hall.

Although Tianjitang did not explicitly prohibit women from running for election, there has never been a woman who can take on this position.

It wasn't until Zhang Tianjiao's appearance that everyone gradually realized that not only men could dominate Tianji Hall. Women can do it and will do it better.

However, even if Zhang Tianjiao is deeply supported by everyone, she is a woman after all. Although she ascended to the position of hall master step by step with her real skills, she still inevitably attracted the criticism and dissatisfaction of some people in the hall.

Among these people, there is no one who is most resentful of her than Zhang Tianyi. Although he is indeed much worse than Zhang Tianjiao, and among the last two people, the losing party can still get a position as a deputy hall master.

But the deputy is the deputy, to put it bluntly, it is a fictitious position with no real power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is even an errand for the hall master. How did you make him stand it?

What made Zhang Tianyi even more angry was that if he wanted to successfully ascend to the position of hall master, in addition to meeting some necessary conditions, more importantly, he must have in his hand the token "Heavenly Jade", which has been respected as the soul of Tianji Hall since the establishment of this hall.

This jade is not only a token specially created by Zhang Jianyang in order to better identify and inherit the position of the hall master, but also a symbol of the power and honor of the hall masters of Tianji Hall in the past dynasties.

Normally, it was only when the previous hall master was about to pass away that he would hand over the Heavenly Jade to the new hall master and keep it safe.

When there is a huge crisis in the hall or the position of the hall master is threatened and questioned, the current hall master will invite this object together with the old hall master's handwritten letter to calm people's minds and stabilize the situation.

In other words, if there were no handwritten letters from Heavenly Jade and Zhang Tianjiao, even if Zhang Tianyi killed Zhang Tianjiao, he would not have been able to get the position of hall master.

And once Zhang Tianyi does such a rebellious thing, he will immediately be chased and killed by all walks of life in the hall until he dies.

Therefore, many times, Zhang Tianyi just thought about this matter in his heart, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, there is only one possibility waiting for him, and that is to be crushed. Compared to this, he prefers to choose to live in silence.

Speaking of which, you should know something about Zhang Tianyi and his person, right?

Since this is the case, it is not difficult to understand why Zhang Tianyi and others were ordered by Jiang Xinghe, so that they did such heinous evil deeds for them.

After all, in this world, there are few people who can't get along with money, let alone a villain like Zhang Tianyi who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

But such a person who is weak and incompetent by nature can sometimes do some jaw-dropping things.

It turned out that Zhang Tianyi had several encounters with Princess Donghua in his early years, and fell in love with her deeply because of this.

However, unfortunately, soon after, Princess Donghua was married to Li Shaogu by Tang Xuanzong, so the two completely broke off contact.

And what is even more coincidental is that the object of Jiang Xinghe's secret pursuit and destruction of all the evidence turned out to be his old love Princess Donghua, which couldn't help but surprise Zhang Tianyi secretly.

However, in order to take into account the overall situation, Zhang Tianyi did not show too many abnormal reactions at that time, but readily agreed.

But what the people of Tianji Hall did not expect was that just when their action was about to succeed, they actually killed Bai Muyun out of thin air, which disrupted these people's plans.

And what made everyone feel even more headache was that this Bai Muyun was not only calm and witty, but also his martial arts were unfathomable, and the people of Tianji Hall were unexpectedly vulnerable. In desperation, Zhang Tianyi could only make other arrangements.

After some careful consideration, Zhang Tianyi decided to take matters into his own hands. And just when Zhang Tianyi was about to kill Princess Donghua with his own hands and end this bad relationship, an accident happened.

At that moment, a hidden weapon that entered through the window suddenly wounded his right arm without warning. After being injured, Zhang Tianyi endured severe pain and ran out of the room, and then fled in a panic.

About an hour later, as soon as the sky was bright, Bai Muyun, who noticed a trace of strangeness, came here.

However, during the time when Zhang Tianyi ran out of the room and Bai Muyun had not yet entered the house, Princess Donghua mysteriously disappeared.

From this point of view, in addition to Princess Donghua and Zhang Tianyi, there should be a third or even a fourth person present that night.

This can be confirmed from the fact that Zhang Tianyi's action failed, but Princess Donghua appeared very strangely outside the portal of Tianji Hall.

In fact, Zhang Tianyi didn't really want to be unfavorable to Princess Donghua, on the contrary, he was infatuated and tried every possible way to rescue Princess Donghua.

However, just when Zhang Tianyi wanted to persuade Princess Donghua to hand over the list and try to save her life, Princess Donghua told Zhang Tianyi a secret that he did not know.

It was the strong stimulation based on these words that caused Zhang Tianyi to lose his mind in an instant. So much so that he wanted to kill Princess Donghua without asking the whereabouts of the list.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to make a move, he was shot and injured by a mysterious person who suddenly arrived here with a hidden weapon, which happened later.

It can be seen that Jiang Xinghe does not trust Zhang Tianyi. Or maybe they were skeptical of their abilities, or they wouldn't have done so.

And the whereabouts of that crucial list are still unknown, presumably hidden by Princess Donghua in some secret place.

Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more urgent, Princess Donghua must find a way to send these evidence and lists to Tang Xuanzong as soon as possible. If you hesitate, it's too late.

On the night of the incident, all parts of Tianji Hall were extremely vigilant, and this just indicated that something big would happen here tonight.

At the same time that Princess Donghua was secretly brought back to Tianji Hall, Bai Muyun, who had followed all the way, also waited for an opportunity to find a secret place and lurked here to wait for the times to change.

Soon, Tianjiao of Tianji Hall walked out.

Seeing this, Bai Muyun immediately followed quietly, and then came to the main hall of Tianji Hall.

I saw that the front of this hall was heavily guarded, and personnel entering and leaving this place must go through strict inspections.

Since Bai Muyun was new to this place, he was not very familiar with everything here, so he did not dare to act rashly.

In desperation, Bai Muyun could only carefully hide outside the hall and watch, and pay attention to Princess Donghua's movements from time to time.

When she was young, Zhang Tianjiao broke away from Bai Muyun's sight, and then entered the most secret and * holy place of Tianji Hall-the council hall.

This hall is not only one of the most important buildings of Tianji Hall, but also the location of many secrets of Tianji Hall, and its status is quite important.

In front of the door of the council hall is an open space with an extremely open view, the floor of which is paved with many square stones of the same size.

On both sides of the main road of the council hall, there are also twelve stone piers symmetrically placed on both sides. In the center of each stone pier is a large flag, and next to each large flag is a special person in charge of guarding.

These 12 flags are the symbols used in the Tianji Hall to identify the 12 branch masters in the hall.

The patterns painted on the flag surface correspond to the 12 zodiac signs one by one, and are placed on both sides of the main road in their order. It is known as the saying that "the flag is in the people, and the flag is destroyed and the people die".

However, why does Tianjitang revere the zodiac so much? It is long unknown why this is the symbol and even the soul of Tianji Hall.

Whenever Zhang Tianjiao passed by, the twelve people who stood on the side of the banner would kneel down and salute him to show their respect and respect for the hall master.

Looking from afar, I saw a young woman dressed in white, accompanied by two female attendants, walking slowly.

Looking at it, I suddenly felt that this woman was by no means an ordinary person.

Her soothing and light steps were as quiet and clear as duckweed dotting water, and there was not a single noise to be heard.

And as Zhang Tianjiao slowly approached, her pure white figure would gradually be reflected on the incomparably clean and smooth ground.

This situation is as if there is a fairy who is about to soar. People can't help but be self-absorbed, so much so that they can't help but extricate themselves.

If you look closely, it is more charming. Its face is like a peach blossom, but it is more gorgeous and agile than the peach blossom; Its eyes seem to be watery, but it adds a murderous aura to the softness; Its hair is like green silk, but there is a faint hint of coolness.

And what makes people feel that she is different the most is not only her proud appearance, but also her unique potential connotation.

Because this person not only likes to wear plain clothes, but also likes to hold ancient books. For example, at the moment, she has a blue book in her hand, which looks like a collection of ancient poems.

All of this can't help but make people mistakenly think that she is a talented lady, or an elegant lady born in a scholarly family, at least she should be a knowledgeable "cultural person". However, the reality is quite the opposite.

I saw that Zhang Tianjiao, who had just sat down, suddenly changed her face, and then threw the book on the table, cocked Erlang's legs, and stared at her big eyes, which really frightened others. It looks like he's going to give a lecture.

On the other hand, Bai Muyun, who was hidden outside the hall, also took the opportunity to find Princess Donghua.

At this time, Princess Donghua saw that there was no hope of survival, so she could only pin her hopes on Bai Muyun.

So Princess Donghua told Bai Muyun the ins and outs of the matter in as much detail as possible, and also told her the hiding place of the list and other things.

Princess Donghua saw that Bai Muyun listened attentively to what she said, and passed away with peace of mind.

And Bai Muyun, who learned of such secrets, did not dare to slack off, and then found those objects according to what Princess Donghua said before her death.

However, to everyone's shock, Bai Muyun, who found the list, did not hand over these things to Tang Xuanzong as promised to Princess Donghua before, but burned them all in one fell swoop.

What's even more strange is that at the moment when Bai Muyun destroyed these evidences with her own hands, she didn't have a trace of remorse. What's more, he even showed a sinister smile because of this. In this way, Princess Donghua is a non-person.

At the same time that Bai Muyun made such a strange move, the situation in Youzhou was already at a critical juncture, so that the border affairs were restless, the war was about to ignite, and the lives were afraid of being destroyed again.
