Ouchi masters and palace people, rushed from the tunnel, first with a stone pier to cushion the door sealing stone, and then with four small arm thick iron rods through, inside and outside the eight Ouchi masters lifted together, and then lifted up the boulder blocking the door.

The Empress Dowager and Dongfang Liren left under the escort of the palace people, and the Night Terror Hall and several secret guards came to check on the situation near the collapsed tunnel again.

The tunnel chain collapsed, and according to the estimation of the night terror, it collapsed more than ten zhang, more than 40 meters, which is not too long.

However, the soil above has been loosened, and the work is carried out without support and reinforcement, and it will be buried alive after digging a few meters.

It is also risky to dig upwards, and if you pierce the moat, everyone in the tunnel will be drowned.

After studying for a while, Night Terror felt that there was a specialization in the art industry, and this kind of work of drilling and exploring and opening tunnels still had to be handed over to skilled craftsmen, so he turned around and left the tunnel.

I was busy working underground for half a day, and it was already noon.

The Night Terror Hall jumped out of the room in the side hall of Fushou Palace, and it can be seen that the outside is full of palace people, in addition to the big inner secret guards, there are also several black yamen who are arrested.

Dongfang Liren stood in the verandah, arranging tasks for the chief arrester of the black ya, and found that the night terror hall came out, so he came to him:

"Someone has been arranged to search the streets and alleys around the imperial city, and the Ministry of Industry has also sent craftsmen to survey the tunnels, and it is estimated that it will take some time to find out."

As he spoke, he also took a robe from the palace maid and handed it to the Night Terror Hall.

The Night Terror Hall tore off half of the robe, put the palace guard's robe on his body, and asked:

"The entrance at the other end is definitely not on the street."

Dongfang Liren may be afraid that the night terrors will go away, and he is still standing in front of him to block and help tie his belt:

"This king naturally knows, but the mansions of the princes and generals around the imperial city are piled up, and they search the tunnels door to door, and they have to find out if they have nothing to do......"

Dongfang's detached demeanor is still extravagant, but the action of bowing his head to tie the man's belt is full of girlfriend flavor, heroic eyebrows and eyes, and hooking red lips, which are only a stone's throw away from the man's chin.

Night Terror Hall was stunned by Clumsy's sudden initiative, and was about to refuse to come, but found that he had just run wildly in the dusty tunnel, and his stupid face was stained with a little dust, so he raised his finger and scraped it on his face.

“……”

There was a dead silence in the verandah.

Dongfang Liren's action of tying his belt paused, raised his eyes, and looked at the handsome boy who was blatantly teasing her, and his eyes were a little incredulous.

Night Terror shook his fingers, and instead wiped his sleeve on his stupid face:

"There is dust, I will help His Highness wipe ......"

Dongfang Liren grabbed the hand that wiped his face, the fat dragon in front of him bulged, and said in a deep voice:

"Night Terror, you're lawless, aren't you? Seize the opportunity to offend this king, do you think this king really won't clean you up? ”

Night Terror Hall motioned to the palace maid behind the secret guard:

"There are many people here, Your Highness should pay attention to your manners."

Do you still know that there are many people?

The public touched the face of the king......

Dongfang Liren looked back, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and said coldly:

"There will be a next time, don't blame this king for not being emotional!"

Night Terror Hall nodded: "Understood." ”

Dongfang Liren gave up and continued to ask:

"Do you have any arrangements for the next?"

Night Terror put his clothes in order and thought about it:

"It takes time to dig through the tunnel, and the thief may run at any time, so I remember the general route of the tunnel and touch it from the surface first. As for Prince Wu, His Royal Highness will send someone to investigate, and if necessary, inform me at any time. ”

Dongfang Liren actually wanted to let the Night Terror Hall take a break, but the current situation was unclear, and the Night Terror Hall was very capable, so she couldn't count on the Black Terror Hall and a gang of bastards to investigate the case, so she advised:

"Be careful, don't force yourself in case of trouble, notify the king first."

Night Terror nodded and was about to go, when his heart moved, and he asked:

"By the way, Your Highness, where is the eldest son of the emperor locked up?"

Dongfang Liren was puzzled: "Do you suspect that the thief beats the attention of the emperor's eldest son?" ”

"Think of the worst in everything."

Dongfang looked back at the people, and then said in a low voice:

"The Marquis of Yunning's mansion in the west of the city is under house arrest, and the surrounding area is the camp of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, and Qin Wenli has been staying in front of him."

"Who is Qin Wenli?"

"Eight-armed Jizo."

Hearing this, Night Terror nodded slightly, feeling that he might indeed be overly worried.

The eight-armed Jizo is the leader of the violent institutions of the imperial court, and only the eight great kui can be sure to die, and the rest of the warriors are basically unable to shake it, not to mention the forbidden army to assist in defense.

And the direction of the tunnel is not clear, it is also in the east of the city, and the eldest son of the emperor is in the west of the city, and the location is far from the north.

Since the authentic target is not the emperor's eldest son, it is more difficult to guess.

Night Terror couldn't guess the intention, so he said goodbye to Stupid, hung the knife on his waist, flew up, jumped up to the palace, and groped out to investigate according to his memory. I had just passed through a few houses, and I hadn't left the confines of the dormitory, when I suddenly found that I had come to the back garden of Fushou Palace.

Night Terror Hall stopped at the head of the wall, and in a blink of an eye, the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree that I had in mind was in the corner of the back garden of the dormitory, with a swing hanging on the branches, and a tree altar below, and bluestone bricks on the periphery.

And the picture of the dragon mentioned by the righteous father is under the big brick!

Night Terror Hall moved in his heart, and he really wanted to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters for public and private purposes, and dig out the Ming Dragon Diagram.

But when I looked closely, I saw the queen mother in a crimson phoenix skirt, and the palace maid Hongyu standing in front of the ginkgo tree, holding three sticks of incense in their hands, and bowing and worshipping in a decent manner.

？

Night Terror's eyes were dazed, and it was not clear why the Queen Mother was worshipping a tree here.

And the Queen Mother, who was holding incense and praying, found that there were people moving on the wall, so she turned her eyes and looked over, her eyes were slightly bright, and it seemed that she was going to beckon him over.

Stupid is not there, and the night terror hall does not dare to contact the queen mother of the country, so he bows his hand first:

"The humble position is investigating the direction of the tunnel, chasing the thief, and disturbing the Queen Mother, and I ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she naturally didn't want to pull the night terrors to ask for warmth, and said with concern:

"It's hard work, but you have to pay attention to safety. Today, you have a meritorious escort, and this palace will reward you again in the future. ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After bowing to the wall, the Night Terror Hall flew over the wall and headed towards the edge of the Imperial City.

The Queen Mother took three incense sticks, stood under the ginkgo tree that had lasted for thousands of years, raised her eyes and looked at it, until the red jade beside her waved her hand in front of her, she came back to her senses and continued to worship the tree master who could give her good luck......

The imperial city is very large, and countless palaces and pavilions are connected to each other, and unfamiliar palace people may get lost.

The Night Terror Hall walked through the palace pavilion, which was a bit rebellious, but holding the waist card of free access to the palace, it was not blocked, and according to the route in memory, it turned left and right in the imperial city for a while, and soon came to the east city wall.

Beyond the city wall is the Royal River, and then there is the eastern district of the city, where Wutong Street, Wende Bridge, and even the mansions of princes and generals are all in this urban area.

Even if the Night Terror Hall is wearing a black yaqi waist card, it is impossible to be lawless enough to pass through the back house of the prime minister of the current dynasty without being informed, and can only act in secret.

After searching for about half an hour as I remember, the Night Terror Hall stopped at a squire's house, and could see that there were many people in the house inspecting the house, and the master was standing in the courtyard to discuss.

Judging from the words of conversation, it was the vibration of the collapse of the tunnel just now, which spread to the ground and frightened the residents on the ground.

The tunnel is broken here, where it leads next, it is not clear at all, you can only dig up the ground if you want to find it, the amount of work is greater than the reconstruction of the collapsed tunnel, and the traces of completion have already been wiped clean.

The clue ends here, Night Terror Hall stands on the top of the high-rise building, looking around the capital and the boundless buildings, frowning......

——

At the same time, on a small street in the east of the city.

The small street is adjacent to the East Market, and the nearby is the Crossroads, and the pedestrian traffic is dense.

Chengjing, the Tiger King of the Avalanche Mountain, dressed as an ordinary business traveler, wandered the streets, and sometimes glanced at the young warriors passing by on horseback; The younger brother Wang Er walked not far away.

Brother Wang Chengjing, who took over the murderous business from the Zhou family, Ye Shilang has already lost his hand, if the Night Terror Hall does not do it again, it will be equivalent to working in vain, and he will be injured.

But the Night Terror Hall is not a simple person, although I know the name, age and other information, but it is difficult to find people, through the visit in the past two days, I only know that the Night Terror Hall is the young master of a merchant family in the capital.

Wang Chengjing wanted to go over to block the road, but found that the Night Terror Hall did not return to Tianshui Bridge at all, and relied on tying tickets to lure the snake out of the hole.

Without a clue, Wang Chengjing could only use stupid methods, wait for the rabbit, wander around the streets near Heiya, see if he could meet the night terror hall passing by, and then follow to find an opportunity to kill.

But he didn't even have a portrait of a night terror, he only knew that he was in his twenties, quite tall, very handsome, and carrying a knife, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Walking aimlessly along the street, Wang Chengjing was frowning when there was a sound of carriage in front of him.

Gollum~

He leaned to the side of the street at random to avoid it, but when the carriage passed, his ears moved slightly, and he faintly caught a sentence:

"How could it be a night terror......

"That can't be wrong......"

The sound of old and young people talking.

Wang Chengjing suddenly came back to his senses, looked silently, but saw a small carriage riding by an ordinary businessman passing by.

The carriage was not big, and there was a middle-aged coachman sitting outside, with a very well-proportioned figure, who seemed to be a martial arts practitioner, and was extremely alert, and the moment he reacted, he turned his head around.

Wang Chengjing was secretly frightened, but he walked the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he didn't have the slightest objection, just looked at the side of the street at random, and only after the carriage was far away, did he frown, turned around and slowly followed.

Wang Er leaned in front of him and asked suspiciously:

"Found someone?"

"Nope. However, in that carriage, it should be a person wanted by the government, judging from the tone, he had just fought with the Night Terrors. ”

Wang Er didn't see anything special about the carriage that went away, and asked:

"Let's follow the carriage and wait for the Night Terror Hall to come and catch the thief?"

Wang Cheng nodded: "The people in the carriage are very skilled in martial arts, and they may be able to complete the errand without blood." ”

Wang Er pondered slightly, shook his head and said:

"The black government catches people, it is not necessarily a night terror hall when you come, there must be a lot of people when you come, it is difficult for us to fish in troubled waters. Moreover, if the martial arts of the people in the carriage are too high, the Night Terror Hall may not be able to find it. ”

Wang Chengjing thought for a while: "This is not a problem. Let's see where this carriage stops first, and find a way to get the news to the Night Terror Hall. Night Terror Hall received a tip-off, for the sake of merit, he must come in person, and when they fight each other, let's wait until the time comes......"

"Good Strategy......"
