The masked man was now in full form, and the one who was the leader gently raised his hand, and a plum blossom dart grazed the shopkeeper's ear, and was embedded in the pillar behind the shopkeeper with a bang.

"No more nonsense, Lao Tzu will demolish this store for you!" A fierce voice came from under his mask.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he hugged his head and hid under the table.

At this time, several masked people began to surround Li Yiyan little by little, and just as the leader was about to put his hand on Li Yiyan's left shoulder, the three of them jumped up at the same time, and Li Yiyan directly grabbed the man's hand and put it on the table.

"Who sent you?" Li Yiyan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he yelled at the back of the man's head.

Seeing this, the remaining masked men all cowered and did not dare to step forward.

"I ...... I ......" The man who was pressed by Li Yiyan spit out a few words in a trembling voice, but jumped out while Li Yiyan was distracted.

"I don't think you have a life to know, when you get down to the Yama Palace, the king of Hades will tell you!" He turned over and stood across the table, looked at Li Yiyan and said proudly.

Li Yiyan's eyes tightened, and he was about to speak, when he heard a sound of footsteps, and more than a dozen people who were also masked came down from upstairs, and they all pulled out the swords at their waists, and more than a dozen swords flashing with cold light were aimed at the three of them.

Li Yiyan looked around for a week, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly: "It's really bothering to deal with me with you to make such a big move-"

Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed the chopstick holder on the table, grabbed the chopsticks inside, and launched them around like a hidden weapon.

Those people didn't expect Li Yiyan to use chopsticks as a hidden weapon, and in an instant, there were already four or five people groaning and falling, and when they looked closely, they all had a chopstick stuck in their eyes, which was two inches deep into their eyes!

The leader had never seen such a person with deep internal strength, he gasped, looked at Li Yiyan through gritted teeth, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the remaining masked people all besieged Li Yiyan and the others.

"I can't help myself!" Li Yiyan sneered, lightly spit out a sentence from his knife-like thin lips, and pulled out the long knife across his waist with a snort, and fought with the masked man.

For a while, the tables and chairs in the lobby flew around, and the originally neat hall suddenly became unlikely.

The leader held a long sword in his hand, and stabbed Li Yiyan in the chest with all the strength of his body, but Li Yiyan's body was like electricity, and he couldn't grasp his whereabouts at all.

It didn't take long for a dozen black-clothed people lying on the ground in the small hall, all of them lying on the floor dying, unable to fight back.

"You...... Seeing this scene, the people led by you ...... pointed at Li Yiyan and the three of them dumbfounded, speechless.

Li Yiyan raised the blood-stained knife in his hand, pointed the tip of the knife at the tip of the man's nose, and said arrogantly: "Your life is now in my hands, say, who ordered you to come!" ”

The man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said with a stiff neck: "We use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and if we lose today, horizontal and vertical is just a life, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

"What a morality!" Li Yiyan sneered and said, "Aren't you here for money?" Tell me who instructed you, and I'll give you twice the price, and I'll spare you a way out!" ”

"This ......" The masked man suddenly hesitated, Li Yiyan took out a gold ingot from the placket of his clothes and threw it at the man in the air: "Say it quickly, I'm going to be impatient!" ”

The masked man looked at the glittering gold in his hand, and then at his colleague who was lying on the ground, and swallowed with difficulty: "My upper family is ......"

Before he could say that, a plum blossom dart suddenly shot out of the window paper behind him, hitting the man's heart!

His eyes widened in disbelief, and in the next second, a mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth, and a pair of eyes opened as big as copper bells, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and in an instant he was out of breath.

"Chase!" Li Yiyan looked at the masked man who had died, his silver teeth were bitten, he raised his eyes and looked viciously at the glimmer of light shining through the window paper, and commanded.

The three of them pushed open the door, only to see that the street that was still full of people just now was empty, where was the assassin?

The subordinate looked at the desolate street scene and sighed: "Boss, that person has already escaped." ”

", I've got long eyes." Li Yiyan said angrily, he whistled and summoned his horse.

Li Yiyan turned over his horse, looked at the front of the road, and said calmly: "Don't worry about them, this is no longer a safe place, let's get out of here quickly!" ”

Seeing this, the two subordinates also mounted their horses, and the three of them rode their horses and quickly crossed the town.

Li Yiyan pulled the reins, his eyes stared ahead, and he pondered.

They had just dealt with the group of people in the imperial court, and in such a short period of time, they had no time to plan this assassination, and judging from the reaction of the person who led them, they were just an organization in charge of assassination in the rivers and lakes, and they had no grudges against him.

Unexpectedly, his whereabouts could attract the attention of these two forces, Li Yiyan pursed his lips, it seems that there is still a very dangerous situation waiting for him on the road ahead.

……

Two days passed, and Ning Yunyu asked all the senior palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, but they either hadn't experienced it, or they were secretive about the past, and she couldn't even find a clue.

She tried to return to the cold palace, but found that since that day, the princess had ordered the door of the cold palace to be closed, and had found a few guards to keep it strictly guarded.

It seems that if you want to get something out of the mouth of the porcelain concubine, this road has been broken.

The fourth prince has been taken away by the concubine and raised in his own palace, and since Concubine Li's death, the imperial concubine has pretended to be sick and closed her door, and Ning Yunyu is naturally not the one who can't see her.

At this moment, Ning Yunxuan was walking in the palace boredly, feeling that it was really hopeless for him to search aimlessly like this.

At the end of the long palace road, there was a small door, and from time to time there was a sound or two of playfulness, Ning Yunyu followed the sound and walked over, and found that he had inadvertently walked to the laundry room in the palace.

She thought for a moment and stepped through the small door.

There were several elderly palace maids and eunuchs sitting in the courtyard, and when they saw Ning Yunyu coming, they looked at her with strange eyes, and then lowered their heads and went about their own affairs again.

At this time, a palace maid in her forties walked out of the corner of the courtyard, stared at Ning Yunyu and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am the palace maid in the palace of the imperial concubine, and I have come to fetch the clothes of the four princes." Ning Yunyu said without blinking.

Maybe it was because of her face, the palace maid didn't answer immediately, but just stared at Ning Yunyu's eyes, as if speculating about the truth of her words.

After a long time, perhaps it was Ning Yunyu's affirmation that frightened her, and the palace maid pointed to the corner of the courtyard: "It's still drying, if it's good, the slave maid will send someone to send it, this is not a place where the girl can stay, you better hurry up." ”

Ning Yunyu hurriedly said: "In the past few days, the princess has contracted a cold, and the concubine Niangniang has been busy taking care of the princess and closing the door to thank guests, so she asked me to pick it up." ”

"That's not either." The palace maid looked at Ning Yun and said fiercely.

Ning Yunxuan was helpless and walked out with a little disappointment.

But just as she walked to the door, she suddenly heard a eunuch underestimate: "This princess is not born to the imperial concubine, I didn't expect her to be really good to the princess." ”

Ning Yunxuan's mind was faint, and he didn't leave immediately, but stood next to the courtyard gate, listening intently to the conversation inside.

"This princess is with the imperial concubine, which is also a good thing, the prince of the porcelain concubine, if he didn't die young, he must be as old as the princess......" The other palace maid was scrubbing her clothes and underestimated in a low voice.

"It's true that everyone has their own fate, poor porcelain concubine finally gave birth to a prince, but died early, and now she is locked up in the cold palace, and everyone asks if she has seen her child!" The eunuch sighed.

Ning Yunxuan's heart was suddenly ecstatic, he didn't expect that he was just walking in the palace at random, and he would be able to hear such a clue! Suppressing the emotions rolling in her heart, she leaned against the doorframe and continued to listen to the conversation inside.

"What are you guys muttering?" It was the voice of the big palace maid: "Chewing the root of your tongue all day long, if I hear anyone talking about the porcelain concubine again, be careful of your skin!" ”

The courtyard suddenly fell silent, no one dared to speak anymore, and Ning Yunxuan stood in place for a while before leaving.

It turned out that Concubine Porcelain had always said that she didn't want to harm her children...... Ning Yunyu walked slowly on the palace road, tilting his head and thinking carefully.

A child as big as a princess, this sentence has been hovering in Ning Yunyu's mind, could it be that the porcelain concubine gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus back then? But only the princess was fortunate to survive, could it be said that the prince was also killed by the imperial concubine, so taking care of the princess in every way now is a kind of atonement?

Ning Yunxuan felt that these mysteries, blindly thinking about them on their own, would only deviate more and more from the track at that time, and the fastest way now was to go to Mama Pang to ask them clearly.

Ning Yunxuan secretly made up his mind, so he walked towards the bedroom in the south back.

Nanhou had been buried in the emperor's mausoleum, and it gradually quieted down, Ning Yunyu went straight to the side hall, but found that the door was not locked, but there was no one inside.

When she walked into the room, she found that Mama Pang's needlework was still on the table, and there were still unfinished flower work in it.

According to Mama Pang's habits, she will never put down half of the needlework and go out. Ning Yunxuan frowned and walked around to the courtyard behind the side hall.

There was only one well left in the courtyard, and the lid of the well was placed aside.

A bad thought gradually spread into Ning Yunxuan's heart. She steadied herself and walked towards the well, glancing inside.

Just this glance, Ning Yunyu was startled, and saw that in the narrow wellhead, Mama Pang was soaked in it with her feet down, and she had long been out of breath.

Surprised, sad, incredulous...... All these emotions surged into Ning Yunyu's heart for a while, and she looked at Mama Pang's body with sadness, and suddenly remembered the last time she had seen her.

She looked panicked, as if she was threatened by something.
