The next day, in the Dali Temple.

"What's going on with those notices outside?" Di Renjie took a notice that he took down and said: "The Yucheng hero Baili brothers challenged the thief Ximen?

"Haha, Master Di, this is my idea. Baili Xuance patted his chest and said, "If we can force Ximen to show up, that's the best." Even if he doesn't show up, it will ruin his reputation. These agents are so efficient, we only came up with the method last night, and they put it up so quickly?"

"It's not just posted, it's all over the city. Di Renjie sat in his position speechlessly and said: "Don't you know? Ximen is a traitor, this is something that everyone in the whole Chang'an City knows, how bad do you think you can make his reputation? Besides, with Ximen's skills, how easy is it for us to deal with him? The night before yesterday, you also saw the fate of our most elite spy troops. Simon is not an easy person to deal with. ”

"That's right. Baili Shou said: "Master Di, how is the person you said who cooperated with us in the investigation of the case prepared?" Di Renjie said: "By the way, she said that when the sun rises, she will wait for you in the mountains and woods west of the city." You don't have to worry about this, this person is absolutely reliable. You're going to leave tomorrow, so let's go and see how your Highness is doing. Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance knew that Li Xin had been in a coma all night but still did not get better, so they hurriedly rushed to check.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, Pushui Temple.

"Why did you want to do something to Li Xin?" Ming Shiyin was obviously very angry, and walked straight in with his fists clenched.

"Is there anything that can't be done?" Ximen looked at Ming Shiyin's angry face and said, "He is not satisfied with you anyway, why do you have to speak for him again?"

"I have cooperation with him!" Ming Shiyin said angrily: "I need his help to recapture the Great Wall······! You don't want to get what you want!"

"Don't panic. Simon said unhurriedly: "The Great Wall is not just what Li Xin can give you. We can do the same, when Beitang takes the Great Wall, we will hand over the Great Wall to you, and there is no need for this son of the abolished prince at all. ”

"Really?" Ming Shiyin sneered: "Are you fools to me?" Beitang is suspicious that with the dual help of the power of control and the Demon Seed Flame Fury, he still failed miserably in the Glory Alliance, if he really has the ability to take the Great Wall, how can he delay it until today? Even if he takes it, there is a devastated Great Wall left, is that still what I want?"

"Can't you see that the son of the abolished prince has been shaken?" Simon said disdainfully: "At the critical moment, he will definitely betray you, and we are also for your good." Also, don't think that we don't know your calculations, and when you get the Great Wall, will we really let Beitang enter the customs? Ever since you spoke to the son of the deposed prince, we have become more suspicious of you. ”

"Okay, then you can be suspicious. Ming Shiyin spread his arms and said, "Since you don't want to cooperate with me anymore, then why don't you frame each other." I know exactly what you're trying to do. Why did you frame Prince Qian, wasn't it just for the sake of the jade seal? Didn't you attack Li Xin because you were worried that after he returned to Chang'an, he would find out your secrets when he checked the old cases of that year? Very good, very good, then I will simply write all these in the empress's monthly divination to see whose loss is greater. ”

"Since you have said so, do you think we will let you go?" Ximen smiled evilly, and with a wave of his hand, a figure blocked the entrance of the Pushui Temple. Ming Shiyin frowned and said, "Do you really want to keep me?" Let's not say whether you can keep it, even if you really kill me." Do you think my men will let you go?"

"Naturally, we don't want to kill you, we just want you to recognize the reality, do you remember who read your divination before the empress saw it······?" How are you ······?"

"It's me······ It's always been my ······." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "If it weren't for me, how do you think Hei Wuji died?" I am the head of His Majesty's four great disciples, Dongfang Greed." Ming Shiyin's body trembled suddenly, and he couldn't stop leaning against the wall on the side, he knew that he was not allowed to tell Wu Zetian about these things no matter what, otherwise with the identity of the person in front of him in the court, his hometown would be destroyed.

In the palace academy, Shangguan Wan'er was packing her luggage, preparing to go to the north of the city to investigate the case with Baili Shouyu and Baili Xuance the next day.

"The meaning of my complaint is already relatively clear, but the place pointed to at the top ······" His eyes froze, and he looked at the vague drawing, and became more and more sure of his guess.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew in her ears, Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and swept around, although there was no one but there were people, so she said, "Come out, there is no one else here." Immediately, a girl with a pair of long ears flashed out from behind the bookshelf, it was Gongsun Li.

"You are ······" Shangguan Wan'er didn't know this person in her impression, and said strangely: "Girl, are you here to find me? I don't think we know each other, right?"

"No ······" Gongsun Li shook his head and said, "Although we don't know each other, I can help you." ”

"Help······ We?" Shangguan Wan'er frowned and said, "What are we?" Gongsun Li didn't answer, just took a deep breath and said, "I am the subordinate of the peony warlock Ming Shiyin, today I quietly followed him to the Pushui Temple in the south of the city, and saw that he saw Ximen Yan. ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this name, she immediately perked up, nodded and did not interrupt her. Gongsun Li continued: "I heard what the lord said that Ximen hated the abolished prince back then, in order to seize the secret of the jade seal of the country. And······ The adult was also stopped by a powerful person, this person ······ I don't recognize······ But it should be a senior official in the DPRK and China. ”

"The chief official of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China······ The jade seal of the country ······" Shangguan Wan'er repeated the main point, nodded and said, "You are a subordinate of the Peony Warlock, so ······ I felt that the Peony Warlock had colluded with Simon. Since you are a subordinate of the Peony Warlock, why did you come to tell me this?"

"I ······ I ······ I want to help you and Your Highness. Your Highness······ His Highness, he was wounded. I know, you ······ You're very good friends, so you're going to be sure to help him. Gongsun Li endured it without showing a sad and sad look. When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely seek justice for Your Highness." But you ······ Why do you want to help Your Highness?"

"Because······ Because ······" Although Gongsun Li wanted to say, "Your Highness saved my life", he was really embarrassed to speak, so he only said "Your Highness, he is a good person" and covered his face and slipped out.

Shangguan Wan'er shrugged her shoulders and muttered, "Ximen is angry, Ximen is angry, grandfather was really killed by you! You are still trying to hurt Your Highness······ I will not let you go! The moment I find out the truth of that year, it will be when you pay the price!"

The next day, before dawn.

Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance quickly rushed to the mountain woods in the north of the city that Di Renjie said, where the terrain was dangerous, and Baili Xuance relied on the flying sickle, and it was very difficult to travel. It is much easier to keep the promise of 100 miles, and he has recently developed the function of blind gun flight, after activating the flying action of the blind gun, he can sit on the seat of the blind gun and fly all the way.

"Ah······ It's exhausting······" It took a lot of effort for Baili Xuance to successfully cross the mountains and reach the forest agreed before. Baili Shouyue also quickly came over with a blind gun, and the two swept around, looking at the vast woods, they couldn't help but worry: "The jungle is so big, how can we find the person who is investigating the case with them?"

"It's almost dawn. Baili Shou said: "That man should also go into the woods, we don't have to take the initiative to find him, let him find out where we are." As he spoke, he turned on the light switch on the blind gun, which immediately illuminated the small half of the woods.

"Ah······ It's ······ It's actually a bamboo forest!" Baili Xuance followed the route illuminated by Baili Shou Yu all the way in, and when he saw a bamboo forest, he immediately said: "Brother, I think it's right here······" As he was talking, there happened to be a ray of sunlight shining into the bamboo forest, and the shining Baili Xuance couldn't open his eyes.

"Yes······ There is an ambush!" Baili Xuance covered his eyes and jumped back, hugged Baili Shou Covenant suddenly, and shouted: "The ambush people are not coming out soon?"

"It's just in time, you've just arrived at sunrise. A clear but calm female voice suddenly sounded. When Baili Shou heard this, he immediately put away the light carried by the blind gun, and saluted: "This ······ Sister, you are ······" Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and said, "Brother who keeps the promise, don't say that, just call me Wan'er." I am a friend of Your Highness, and I would like to thank Your Highness for helping me to investigate the old case that has been sealed for many years at this critical moment. ”

Baili Xuance heard her say this, and leaned over curiously, looked at Shangguan Wan'er in the green robe, nodded the straw hat on her head, and said with a smile: "Wan······ Miss Wan'er, your outfit is very suitable for this bamboo forest. ”

"Of course. Shangguan Wan'er shook the paintbrush in her hand and said, "I took the initiative to ask the empress to hide all over Chang'an as her eyes and ears, and to find the secret of Chang'an for her in the guise of a man." This is a place of repair for me outside the palace. And my current identity is the same as this bamboo forest, called Bamboo Cultivator. My brother Xuan Ce, do you understand?" said and gently patted Baili Xuan Ce's head.
