Xie Yunyan thought that he couldn't wait any longer, he was afraid that when he saw Ning Shu again, he would be a cold corpse.

He gathered all the secret guards of the Guogong Mansion, plus the fifty Praetorian Guards supported by the emperor, and prepared to go to the Honglu Temple to search for people again.

Since the people of Miao Jiang are still in Honglu Temple, as Yuan Wu said, even if Honglu Temple is razed to the ground, it is necessary to find out the people.

Fearing that a large number of troops would cause unnecessary panic in Kyoto, Xie Yunshen asked everyone to divide into small teams of five, and rushed to the outside of Honglu Temple to assemble again.

Both the Duchess and Xie looked at Xie Yunyan worriedly, especially the Duchess Guo, and said with slightly red eyes: "Why don't I go back to your grandfather's house to borrow soldiers?" Turn the whole of Kyoto upside down? ”

If her words were put in normal times, Xie Yunyan would definitely laugh out loud.

At present, I feel that the words of the Duchess are feasible.

"Mother, if you don't find her today, then it's not too late to do what Mother does."

"Okay, be careful." The Duchess admonished.

Xie Yunyan nodded deeply, then turned on his horse and went straight to Honglu Temple with Xuan Feng and Yuan Wu.

Only a few people knew the news of Ning Shu's disappearance, and even Ning Zhao, who was in Honglu Temple, didn't know why Xie Yunyan came to Honglu Temple last night to search.

Coupled with the arrival of King Duan today, Ning Zhao always had a bad premonition.

His eyelids and heartbeat were very strong, and he didn't come up with a clue after thinking about it, and when he was about to go to the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang to ask, someone outside the door came to report.

"My lord, it's not good!"

Ning Zhao's heartbeat missed half a beat, could it be that the emperor arrived this time?

"My lord, a group of masked people have rushed into the Honglu Temple!"

"What?" Ning Zhao got up suddenly, "What are they doing?" ”

"I don't know, I don't ask, I don't kill, I rush in as if I'm looking for something-" The little guy who reported was also stunned, and the moment the masked man rushed in, they also thought they were here to rob.

But later I found out that as long as I didn't step forward, the group of masked people looked as if they hadn't seen them.

It's just that this place is an official government, how can you allow gangsters to break in and do mischief?

Ning Zhao walked out puzzled, "Lead the way." ”

When I came out, I realized that I didn't have to lead the way at all.

The men in black in the courtyard were really looking for something, and they didn't care about their appearance at all.

"Hurry up and report to the officer!"

Ning Zhao instructed the little guy.

The little guy ran away.

The owner of the silver robe stood in the alley not far away, looking at the pattern of the entire Honglu Temple, and turned his head to ask the master of Wuji Hall, "Which direction is the location of the Miao Jiang people?" ”

The Master of the Infinite Hall pointed to the southeast corner, "That's it." ”

The owner's hands under the silver robe were gently twisted back and forth, and his eyes stared at the corner with a wrong look.

After a long time, he said, "Follow me." ”

The master of Wuji Hall led a team of five people and followed the owner to the periphery of the southeast corner of Honglu Temple.

It seems that the people here have not lived in a long time, and the whole courtyard is full of dry grass.

On the staggered dry grass, it seems that there is a path that has been stepped on.

The owner of the village stopped looking at the ground step by step, he bent down and touched the weeds on the ground, and asked the hall master behind him: "Do you think there are traces of someone walking here?" ”

The hall master of Wuji Hall also squatted down, and looked forward along the mark that looked like footprints but was not sure to be footprints, and it turned out to be a stone wall.

"Owner, this is indeed the trace of a person, but there is no road ahead——"

As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong.

Since there is no road, how did the footprints on the ground appear?

The heavy rain of the previous days should have washed away all the marks, and now he can see the footprints on the weeds, which means that there are people walking around here today or yesterday.

"Come on, come on, see what's under this weed!"

As the master of the hall of the Infinite Villa, the master of the Infinite Hall should be very thoughtful.

The owner of the village stepped back very knowingly, and the analysis he came to was consistent with that of the hall master.

Under the eaves, the figure of the silver robe is isolated.

Everyone was staring intently at the ground, and no one noticed that the fingertips of the owner were trembling slightly.

If there is something underground, it must not be the result he imagined-

"There's a discovery here!"

Suddenly, a shout woke up the owner's thoughts.

He hurried over and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Looks like a cellar entrance!"

Hearing his words, the owner of the village secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

Seeing his posture, the hall master seemed to be going down to investigate in person, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Be careful, and let your subordinates take the lead!" ”

The hall master did not wait for his answer, and stepped on the wooden ladder and went down to the cellar.

The owner of the village lifted his robe, followed him without hesitation, and walked down.

Inside the house, the burning candle flame has gradually bottomed out.

Ning Shu knew that as long as the red pillar burned out, her vision would be bottomless darkness.

At this time, she heard a rustling sound outside the door, unlike the usual time when the Great Elder came alone, there should be at least three or four people outside the door at this moment.

She looked at the door vigilantly, could it be that the next day was so soon? Is the Great Elder going to take her out of Kyoto?

It is said to be a door, but it is just a door panel made of a few simple wooden planks.

With a "squeak", the door was finally opened.

Ning Shu saw a masked man in black by the dim candlelight.

A flash of silver light followed him and broke into Ning Shu's line of sight.

When the hall master saw the woman tied to the chair, he was slightly stunned, which did not match the portrait he had been looking at all day-

The owner also saw Ning Shu, especially after seeing her ordinary face clearly, he was a little disappointed and a little secretly happy at the same time.

Fortunately, it wasn't the kind of scenario he had in mind.

"Who are you? How did it end up here? The hall master asked.

When the owner saw that the person in front of him was not Ning Shu, he turned around in disappointment and was about to leave.

But he heard a clear Lingling voice sounding behind him, "Who are you?" ”

Ning Shu wasn't sure who they were, and hesitated to tell them who she was.

Who knew that when he just asked, the silver-robed man who was obviously about to leave suddenly paused, and he could feel his burning gaze through the mask.

"Are you Mrs. Xie?"

The voice of the silver-robed man makes it impossible to distinguish between men and women, and even more so to make it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

But Ning Shu still heard a hint of joy.

She stared straight at the place of the eyes on the mask, not sure whether to admit her identity or not.

The owner of the village had already determined that she was Ning Shu, and he instructed the hall master: "I have found someone, this is Mrs. Xie, go out and prepare." ”

"Yes." The owner frowned, he wanted to take out the portrait and pair it, but he held back.

The owner walked quickly to Ning Shu and untied her, afraid that Ning Shu would be worried, and explained casually: "Don't worry, madam, we are here to save madam." ”

Ning Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the rope on her body was finally untied by the silver-robed man, she stood up immediately, perhaps because she had been tied up for too long and she didn't know how many hours had not met her eyes, her whole person suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The owner of the village quickly supported Ning Shu, only hesitated for a moment, and then ignored Ning Shu's wishes, and directly stopped the person by the waist and picked him up, "Go out first." ”

Ning Shu also wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, even though she had a lot to ask, she still held back.

obediently let the silver-robed man hug him.

Fortunately, he was familiar with the courtesy of a gentleman, and the hands that wrapped around her body were separated by wide robes.
