Qianhe Lake is not a backwater lake, but the inlet and outlet were sluices built at the beginning of the establishment of the palace. Every year, only when the rain is strong in summer, the rough slaves in the palace will open the sluice gates at the inlet and outlet to prevent the palace from being harmed by the flood.

Zhu Ji fled along the water, and the King of Jin immediately ordered people to guard the water outlet and water inlet, and then took people to the Pinzhu Pavilion where Zhu Ji lived.

This Pin Bamboo Pavilion was originally not a Pin Bamboo Pavilion, but it was changed to such an elegant name after Zhu Ji entered the house. The Peach Blossom Pavilion where Peach Ji lives is adjacent to Bamboo Pavilion.

After a thorough search, the guards found no trace of Takehime's return, but they did find three carrier pigeons in the attic of Pinzhu Pavilion.

Lu Zhi carefully took out a carrier pigeon from the cage and brought it to King Jin, and said in a low voice, "Look, Lord Wang, these three carrier pigeons have smooth feathers and strong physical strength, and they don't seem to have flown in three days. ”

The carrier pigeon was caught by Lu Shi, struggled a few times, and made a few 'coo' sounds.

King Jin glanced at the carrier pigeon and said to Lu Zhi, "Put them back." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what King Jin meant.

Zhu Ji wants to escape from the palace, but she can't do it on her own. She can only turn to Emperor Shiyuan, who is far away in the imperial city, and this carrier pigeon is the key.

Coming out of Zhu Ji's Pinzhu Pavilion, King Jin took people to Peach Blossom Pavilion again.

Like Takehime, Momohime also has carrier pigeons in her attic. The difference is that one of the three delicate birdcages is empty.

Looking at the empty birdcage, King Jin's heart tightened, and he was angry.

Lu Zhi hurriedly said on the side, "Lord Wang, it has been less than an hour since Zhu Ji dived, and I think that the carrier pigeon was released by Tao Ji a long time ago." Besides, if Takehime came here, how could there be no water stains here. Although there are not many rough maids waiting on Momohime's side, they can ......"

"Maid?" King Jin's sword eyebrows were raised, and he suddenly came to his senses, "Quickly send someone to find it, not only to find Zhu Ji, but also to find Tao Ji and Zhu Ji's personal maid!" King Jin pointed at Lu Zhizheng and said, "Tell them that this king wants to live!" ”

Tao Ji's maid Qing'er is nowhere to be found, but Zhu Ji's maid Ping'er is asking Hexuan.

After Li Qingmu replied to ask He Xuan, he only washed his face roughly under Wen Qing's service, and called the maid named Ping'er to him without even changing his clothes.

In the main hall, Tao Ji's tragic corpse was still lying on the bluestone table, on one side of the table, Li Qingmu asked Ping'er without anger, "No one knows better than you what your master has done, if you come to the Tao of 1510, then I will spare your life." If you have a hard mouth, you will only be ten times worse than the death of Momohime in front of you! ”

Li Qingmu's clothes were still stained with blood, and Ping'er didn't dare to look directly anymore after just one glance. Ping'er lowered her head, knelt on the ground and trembled, and asked in a very small voice, "My young lady......"

"When you're dying, you still care about your young lady?!" Li Qingmu sneered, "Don't you have a family?" If you say it, I'll let you go home and be with them. If you don't say it, I'm just as merciful, but the place where your family is reunited is the underworld! ”

Ping'er was so frightened by Li Qingmu that she trembled, and finally cried and said everything she knew, "Tao Ji and my young lady came to ask Hexuan today to steal a letter from General Xie to King Jin. ”
