The drizzle has not stopped, and the sky has already seen light.

The people of Qucheng were frightened all night.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that although the whole city was still blocked, it was a little relaxed, and you could go out with a wooden sign from Lizheng to buy some grain, oil and groceries.

Although each household is limited to one, and there are layers of checks along the way, it is finally relieved.

This has happened before, and as is customary, the lockdown will be lifted in a few days.

Although scolding, life still has to be passed after all.

These are naturally Liu Xuanzhi.

He is also known for his scheming, and his previous doubts were just unknown situations, but now he was broken by Wang Xuan, so he simply calculated and paralyzed the bloody thieves.

……

The backyard wing of the town evil mansion.

Eunuch Shi Lin Wu, the commander of the Qucheng Mansion, was already dumbfounded.

"That's the way it is..."

Liu Xuan respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Lord Lin, this matter is related to the lives of the people of Qucheng, as well as the safety of the prince, please help." ”

Eunuch Lin Wu was also a little flustered at this time, "This... Please ask the prince to take action, this matter is too ridiculous, in case your guess is not right..."

Liu Xuan took a deep breath, "Please rest assured, if there is a mistake, I will bear the consequences." ”

Eunuch Lin Wu's face was cloudy, "What you said is all, if something happens, how can our family escape... Well, there is no other way to do it at the moment. ”

After that, he took the copper basin inlaid with runes from the inner room, first wrote a letter, and then put it in the copper basin to pinch the magic trick, and suddenly the fire burst out.

The green smoke rose into the air and disappeared.

At this moment, a sergeant came to report, and the Assassin Sect Elder was waiting in the front hall.

Liu Xuan rubbed his face vigorously, showed a smile like before, and walked to the front hall.

As Wang Xuan said, no one knows if these people are bloody thieves...

……

At the same time, hundreds of miles away on the canal.

A huge warship is breaking the waves and riding the wind, slowly moving forward.

The painting boat is simple and atmospheric, the whole body is black, and the embossed copper pattern builds a small talisman, and is combined and arranged into a hideous flame giant bird, faintly exuding a terrifying atmosphere.

Along the way, the ghosts and spirits hidden under the river dissipated one after another, and the boats on the river on both sides also hurriedly retreated when they saw this.

"It's the Xiao family's Bifang Town Prison Boat!"

"I heard that the Bifang Legion in Northern Xinjiang was retired and rebuilt by the Xiao family, which is rare to see on weekdays, and it is really extraordinary..."

"I don't know which son is on patrol."

"It's all about the family, it has nothing to do with us, stay away..."

On top of the warship, every three meters on both sides of the ship stood a golden-armored sergeant, his breath was obscure, like statues not moving at all, and his eyes were indifferent under the helmet mask.

In the exquisite attic, the white tiger is the blanket, the warm jade is the furnace, and the fragrance is ethereal.

In front of the low table in the attic, a few people sat down to drink tea, and the maids of the light gauze manro floated in and put down boxes of exquisite snacks.

The person seated was a man in Chinese costumes, about thirty years old, with good facial features, short beard, leisurely complexion, and full of luxury.

Beside him, sat an old man with a face like a crown of jade, dressed in a pale green Confucian robe, with an ancient look in his eyes.

And below, on one side sat Li Chengxiong, who joined the army in the state capital, and on the other side was the son Xiao Jili, and the Xiao family enshrined Chen Lao stood with his head bowed behind him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Xiao Jili smiled and arched his hand: "I specially invited the master of the kitchen to make some special snacks from Bingzhou, and please taste them." ”

"Xiao Gongzi is polite."

The crown prince Duguxi caressed a white sable in his arms, showing a wide smile, "This king patrols the states, and it is inevitable that he will disturb you, please forgive me." ”

A hint of respect flashed in Xiao Jili's eyes, "Don't dare, it's all within the next division." ”

He had long heard that the prince was generous and polite, and he had been impressed by his bearing these days.

Li Chengxiong, who joined the army next to him, flashed a trace of shame on his face, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, everything in Huairen County is a dereliction of duty, and please punish him." ”

Prince Duguxi shook his head slightly, "The military government is restructuring and delegating power, it is inevitable that dragons and snakes will be mixed, some of the legal lineages and rivers and lakes have heavy habits, and they must act without scruples. ”

"What the prince said is very true."

Xiao Jili and Li Chengxiong hurriedly said yes.

At this moment, a eunuch walked into the boat pavilion like the wind, took out a letter from his bosom and respectfully presented it, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, a secret letter from the long history of Qucheng. ”

"Oh?"

Prince Duguxi opened it and quickly looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Qucheng... Those people were probably in a hurry. ”

Xiao Jili and Li Chengxiong looked at each other below, and arched their hands: "Prince, what happened?" ”

"You'll see it later."

The crown prince Duguxi didn't say much, and handed over the letter to everyone to circulate.

Valley: "What a daring bold! ”

After Xiao Jili finished reading it, he suddenly looked angry, "The prince also asks to stop the boat, I will summon the Xiao family to worship, and go into the city to kill all the demons!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man with double eyes behind him coughed slightly, and Xiao Jili hurriedly shut up.

On the other side, Li Chengxiong's face was also ugly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't go to Qucheng, your safety is important, just leave these to us." ”

"You don't need to be in a hurry."

Prince Duguxi smiled slightly and looked at the old man in the Confucian robe next to him, "Master Li, what do you think?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the old man in the Confucian robe, "I'm afraid there are eyebrows on the side of Canglan Mountain." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Jili, "Has the Xiao family ever found other Vault Tokens?" ”

Xiao Jili's face was embarrassed, "I found a grave according to the clues, but it has been taken away." ”

The old man in the Confucian robe nodded slightly, "Then it seems that the blood-clothed thief has gathered all the tokens, please inform Xiao Gongzi over there, they will naturally deal with it, the things in the Huang family's secret collection are very important, you must not mess with yourself, and the warship must not stop, the other party must be monitored." ”

Xiao Jili was not stupid, he suddenly knew that he had said something stupid, his face turned red and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Yes, I will do it in the next place." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly left with the old man with double eyes.

Li Chengxiong, who joined the army, also figured out the key points, and said with a hesitant face: "Does the prince want to plan the plan?" How to arrange, please advise. ”

Prince Duguxi picked up the letter and looked at it again, and said with a thoughtful smile in his eyes: "Being in the situation can see the clouds, it seems that the government army has been restructured, and some smart people have appeared, who is the commander of the Qucheng government army?" ”

Li Chengxiong, who joined the army, hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Liu Chang, born in the border army, nicknamed Liu Haozi, is quite involved with the Tusu family in Qinzhou, and his people... is honest and reckless, but his brother Liu Xuan is the master of the Four Seas Gate and is shrewd. ”

Prince Duguxi smiled indifferently and looked to the side, "He is also a general, but after all, he is in a low position, and some things are not clear, Master Li, what do you think?" ”

The old man in the Confucian robe stroked his beard and said: "The prince is on patrol, the power on the surface must be known to everyone, the blood-clothed thief is not so stupid, the crazy Tai Sui is the lead, and there are other means, but the old man can't guess." ”

At this time, Xiao Jili also hurried back and presented a letterhead, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Canglan Mountain has been notified that this is information sent by Qucheng's secret agents. ”

"Read!"

"Since last month, there have been a series of people who eat crazy Tai Sui in Qucheng to kill people on the street, all of them are innocent people, suspected of being poisoned, and the government army and the city god temple have searched for it, but there has been no result..."

"A few days ago, Qucheng captured Cao Bai Sanxi, the military commander of Yong'an Prefecture, Wang Xuan, the military captain of Yong'an Prefecture, entered the city yesterday, and the layout of the bloody clothes thief in the grain and oil store and the City God Temple was revealed that night, and the strange Yuan Bukong appeared, and was forced away by the captain Liu Chang with blood."

"Qucheng is still blocked, but people have been allowed to go to the streets..."

Prince Duguxi's eyes moved slightly, "Yong'an Captain Wang Xuan?" ”

Xiao Jili hurriedly arched his hand and said: "He is a general, a righteous person, brave in battle, he has broken the bloody clothes and thieves' nests, Shanyin ghost towns, and I heard that a demon nest was recently broken in the southwest of Yong'an." ”

"He has always been at odds with Liu Chang in Qucheng, this time it should be a coincidence, and he is suspected of being trapped in the mansion by the Liu brothers."

"Oh."

Prince Duguxi was thoughtful, then shook his head and said: "After the bloody thief, I already know that these demons can't hide on weekdays, but it's an opportunity. ”

The old man in the Confucian robe next to him became interested, "The prince guessed the back hand with just a few words, the old man admires it, can you tell me?" ”

The crown prince Duguxi smiled dumbly, "Master Li laughed, this king doesn't have the means of unpredictable prophets, but there are some confidential things, you don't know, and this matter is also somewhat involved with the crazy Tai Sui." ”

"Crazy Tai Sui..."

The old man in the Confucian robe frowned slightly, and then his eyes turned cold, "There is a demon suppression cave over there in Qucheng?!" ”

Dugu Xi nodded and sighed: "In all dynasties of the Middle Earth, there are places to suppress demons and seal demons, all of which are difficult to deal with. ”

"When Dayan founded the country, he also collected in many ways and knew several places where the Great Wei sealed the demons, hidden in the royal caves, and not known to outsiders."

"The matter of the crazy Tai Sui has made people panic, and the father naturally wants people to investigate thoroughly, according to some sporadic records, he has found the root of the Tai Sui Shenjun, and it is not surprising that the poison of the crazy Tai Sui will be solved soon. But now it seems that the Bloodcoat Thieves also know about these locations. ”

The old man in the Confucian robe had an ugly face, "Was it stolen along with the Divine Sealing Technique?" ”

Dugu Xi shook his head slightly, "The seal of the Demon Suppression Cave Atlas is complete, and I have not been moved. ”

The old man in the Confucian robe thought for a moment, "Could it be that the person who fell behind the scenes is the remnants of the Great Wei?" ”

"Perhaps, the Southern Jin Dynasty also knows a lot..."

"The layout of Qucheng should be to open the Demon Suppression Cave, this is their backhand. Master Li, you take people to take the first step, and you must catch all the demons! ”

As he spoke, he wrote down a few lines with a pen and handed it to the old man in the Confucian robe.

"The prince can rest assured."

The old man in the Confucian robe nodded, took the note, and walked out of the pavilion.

Immediately, five elderly eunuchs covered in yin qi walked out of the cabin, their eyes indifferent, as if they were ice.

Whoosh!

Six sword lights rose into the sky and headed towards Qucheng.

The people in the small boat in the distance were dumbfounded.

"Fly... Flying swords? ”

In the boat pavilion, Xiao Jili and Li Chengxiong also looked at each other.

They didn't expect that the prince would bring so many masters with him, and he didn't even notice it.

Duguxi looked at the drizzle outside the window, his face was leisurely and calm, as if nothing had happened...
