Chapter 045: Who Gave You the Dagger

Yan Xiaoniang's guess is not an ordinary guess.

"In the codex left by my ancestors, there is also a record of the learning of the mechanism, because I am familiar with it, every time I look at the map, I will think about where to build a secret room, where to build a secret pathβ€”β€”"

Little Lady Yan seemed to be a little shy about her thoughts, she lowered her head and twisted her fingers, her little face turned red and red, and her voice became softer and softer.

"I guessed the secret passage of the Gangneung Palace, but I didn't expect that there was really a ......"

The room was quiet for a while before Qiao Yu's exclamation sounded: "Ah Yan, you are really amazing!" ”

Little Lady Yan raised her head, and her little face turned even redder.

Zhong Chi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Really! You are gifted, cherish it! ”

Yan Xiaoniang's eyes were bright when she was praised, but she quickly dimmed again, and said softly: "I am a daughter, and I can't inherit the family business and become a prisoner...... I am the only one in my family, and the family business of our Yan family will be cut off when it reaches me......"

Zhong Chi Chi was relatively indifferent to this kind of thing, so he changed the topic and asked, "What about Princess Tongchang's Mansion?" Have you seen the map? ”

Little Lady Yan frowned and meditated.

"It used to be the Hedong Mansion." Zhong Chi Chi prompted.

Little Lady Yan thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

Zhong Chichi suddenly became excited: "Really? ”

……

Two hours later, Zhong Chichi took the map drawn by Yan Xiaoniang, looked at it carefully and carefully, and then crumpled it into a ball, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and after a while, he released his palm, and the powder came down one after another, making Yan Xiaoniang stunned.

Zhong Chichi smiled slightly and said, "Yan Niangzi, this is a good ability from God, but it is also the ability to cause trouble; Before you have the ability to protect yourself, it is better not to show it in front of people! ”

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

It's like when she was seven years old, Yang Yuemian made a mask for her to put on, and lightly warned her:

"Don't show your face in front of people until you have the ability to protect yourself!"

Little Lady Yan nodded stunned, a little frightened, a little trusted.

Just like she was many years ago.

Zhong Chichi suddenly sighed and said in a low voice, "I'll send you back!" What we say today, I won't mention it to anyone, and don't mention it to you, parents and relatives! ”

A secret is only called a secret if you know it, and if one more person knows, it will not be a secret.

There are some things that are as close as Li Changdu, and she won't mention them.

After returning to the Jiangling Palace, it was still dark, so Zhong Chi ate something casually and fell asleep.

As for going back to the bathhouse hall at night, Li Changye didn't take it seriously, how could she take it seriously?

When I woke up, the night was just dark, and I was ready to go!

This time, without Qiao Yu's hind legs, he stepped on the outer wall, and he went to more than ten zhang, and when he landed, he turned into the corner of the street with a slight touch.

Just when he felt that a person was moving extremely freely and comfortably, in the shadows ahead, the man in purple walked out silently.

Zhong Chichi raised his forehead and smiled: "General Cui, what about such a coincidence?" ”

Cui Li said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty said that Mrs. Zhong would definitely not return to the palace obediently, so I was specially ordered to wait here to assist Mrs. Zhong in her actions." ”

It looks like you can't hide from it!

Zhong Chichi gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Then there is General Lao Cui!" ”

Cui Li turned to the side, bowed his head slightly, and sure enough, he made a gesture of assistance with her first.

Zhong Chi Chi walked up to him and couldn't help but tease: "You say, is your majesty trying to match us?" ”

Cui Li lowered his head a little more, and said, "Your Majesty ordered Cui to escort Zhong Niangzi back to the palace after tonight's incidentβ€”" After a pause, "Your Majesty said to wait for Zhong Niangzi in the bathhouse hall." ”

Zhong Chi sneered and walked away.

It is still the Tongchang Princess Mansion of Liquanfang.

As soon as he stepped into the princess's mansion this time, Zhong Chi Chi felt that something was not right.

"The people have already left the princess's mansion!" She frowned.

There are indeed fellow assassins in the princess's mansion!

"How do you know?" Cui Li looked at her suspiciously.

Zhong Chi glanced at him: "Intuition! ”

Cui Li: ......

Although the assassin had already left, Zhong Chi Chi still went to find a possible secret passage first according to Yan Xiaoniang's guess.

Princess Tongchang's Mansion has been watched, and most of the assassins have left through the secret passage.

According to Yan Xiaoniangzi's speculation, with the location and structure of Princess Tongchang's mansion, there are roughly three suitable secret passages, one is a waterway, which leads from the bottom of the lake to the outside of Jinguangmen, and two are tunnels, one of which can lead to the outside of the city, and the other is to lead to the Liquan Temple in Liquanfang.

Judging from the assassin's injuries, it shouldn't be appropriate to take the waterway, and the rest is to see, is it already out of the city? Or did you hide it in Liquan Temple?

It's a pity that these two secret passages really exist.

Do you want to find it one by one? Zhong Chi felt tired when he thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" In the dark, Cui Li asked a little nervously.

"I'm a little tired." Zhong Chi Chi simply sat down and sighed, "I haven't slept well for several days, I'm going to be ugly!" ”

Cui Li: ......

The secret passage that I finally found was in a cave in a rockery, and it was pitch black, that is, Zhong Chichi's eyesight was good, and at this time, he could only feel Cui Li's direction with his breath.

Cui Li silently sat down with her and asked softly, "How do you know the secret passage of the princess's mansion?" ”

Zhong replied without thinking: "Guess! ”

Cui Li was silent for a moment, and then asked, "From which secret passage did the assassin leave?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhong Chi Chi still answered without thinking.

Cui Li stopped talking.

Zhong Chichi remembered a question: "You left Chang'an to track down the whereabouts of the assassin before, did you find something?" What's wrong with this assassin? ”

Cui Li was silent.

Zhong Chi couldn't help but poke him: "Will you die if you reveal a little?" ”

Cui Li was silent.

Zhong Chi had no choice but to change the question and ask, "What will happen if you catch the assassin?" How to investigate the disappearance of Concubine Yun's body? ”

Cui Li finally spoke: "Obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

If you say it, you don't say it, it seems that you still have to start with Li Changye.

Without speculation, Zhong got up and went out after a long time.

First near and then far, out of the princess's mansion, straight towards Liquan Temple.

The lingering incense in the temple is silent.

After the assassin was wounded, it was difficult to detect the master's unusual inner breath, and they touched it around until their eyes swept over the row of meditation rooms in the northwest corner, and Zhong Chichi's heart jumped.

This is it!

She suddenly grabbed Cui Li's hand, stared at one of the meditation rooms with bright eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm looking here, you go and bring people to surround Liquan Temple, we won't return empty-handed tonight!" ”

Cui Li froze, silently withdrew his hand, and turned to leave.

Zhong Chi glanced in the direction he had left, the corners of his lips slowly hooked, and he floated from the roof to the ground, leisurely walked to one of the meditation rooms, and pushed the door in.

After casually solving the two guards in the house, she walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently pressed back the person who was struggling to get up, and said softly: "Yu Linjun still has a quarter of an hour to arrive, but don't be afraid, I can save you from the city-" She smiled and lowered her head and stroked the corners of the quilt for him, "Tell me, who gave you the dagger?" ”
