Li Huaiyun finally knew why Mu Kite had that attitude towards the current emperor, "No wonder, from the words that come out of your mouth, you can know that you hate the current emperor very much!" ”

This woman has always used the faint monarch to call the current emperor, and I don't know if the emperor knows, I don't know, if I know, I haven't been severely punished so far, it can only be that the emperor is too fond of this daughter.

He pinched his chin hard, his expression was complicated, this case has been around for some years, and the whole case has memories, that is, the woman in front of him,

At that time, Mu Kite was only more than ten years old, and it was impossible to remember it so clearly, and the only person who could understand the case best at the moment was the file of Dali Temple.

"Wooden kite! Otherwise, it's better to go to Dali Temple to read the dossier, and come directly. ”

The wooden kite pondered for a moment, "Okay! However, I want to go to my mother's dormitory first! ”

"Yes!" Li Huaiyun has no opinion, after all, it is normal for his children to worship, "Then we don't have to go to the palace now." ”

"No! This time I went to the palace, in addition to going to the dormitory, I also wanted to say a few words to the faint king. ”

Li Huaiyun complained in his heart, your attitude, if it weren't for your identity, it is estimated that the emperor would have been beheaded a long time ago.

The Imperial City, the sewers in the palace.

The sound of hurried footsteps on the green tiled road made a crisp sound.

The construction of the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not long after the opening of the dynasty, a craftsman called Lu Gong personally built and renovated on the original basis, which lasted 20 years and consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources to complete the entire imperial palace.

Due to the fact that there are several wide rivers in the vicinity of Kyoto, there is a lot of rain in the summer, and the water level on the banks of the river often overflows the banks.

Therefore, when the imperial city was first built, a huge sewer channel was dug, about the size of several thousand square meters, with a number of solid pillars erected in the middle.

On the steps leading to the sewer, a man in his fifties dressed in an official robe and full of white hair was slowly walking down, he clutched the torch in his hand, and his heart was slightly panicked, after all, there was no one around, it was dark and empty.

The surrounding area of this step is pitch black, and you can only see two or three meters below your feet, this place is dark and damp, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable, and even the air you breathe has some rotten smell.

Despite the coldness underneath, sweat broke out on his forehead, and every time he came down, he had to walk a long time.

Fortunately, it's not Chang Lai, otherwise how could my body resist.

As he continued to walk down, a rough voice came from the floor of the sewer, and a familiar voice was heard, which made the fear in his heart dissipate a lot.

When he stepped down the last step of the stairs, the whole person was much more relaxed, and when he walked down, he kept worrying about stepping on the wrong steps and rolling down directly.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and walked towards the clusters of firelight in front of him, where a burly man stood by a wide ditch.

The firelight kept beating on the man's face, obscuring the solemn look on his face.

When he heard footsteps approaching, the man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was walking.

He said in a deep voice, "Lord Shangshu, you shouldn't have come here. ”

"Shouldn't it? I think it's too late! General Li, if this kind of thing happens here, I can't get out of it! Xing Shangshu stood beside Li Feng and sighed heavily, "Besides, this matter has spread out of the palace, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be more gossip." ”

Li Feng's arm holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and the scabbard hit the armor with a slight sound, "If someone chews the root of his tongue in this matter, see how I clean him up!" ”

"Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles." Xing Shangshu looked at the ground on the side, "What is the situation here?" ”

Li Feng responded, "There are a few more corpses here!" ”

"Again? Is your identity confirmed? ”

"The people in the palace are being checked, and I hope to know the identity of the missing person as soon as possible."

"The last one was the guard of the South Gate, and this time there are palace maids!"

"Why are they here?"

Li Feng replied helplessly, "This is also what I want to know!" ”

Xing Shangshu raised the torch in his hand and took a few steps forward, "I'll take a look for myself, maybe I can find something." ”

Li Feng immediately raised his hand to stop it, with a look of disdain on his face, "Xing Shangshu, I advise you to stay where you are, that scene is quite bloody, you go to see it, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it and pee your pants!" ”

Xing Shangshu flicked his sleeves vigorously, a little angry at Li Feng's words, this martial artist clearly looked down on himself, "General Li said this, the old man has also been in the Criminal Department before, and he has seen some of the world." ”

Li Feng still has that attitude, "What is not the world, I have never seen this situation when I came out of the pile of dead people!" ”

He snorted, "I'm afraid that after you see it, your heart won't be able to stand it." ”

Xing Shangshu clasped his fists and saluted, "Then don't bother General Li!" ”

"I can advise you again, Lord Shangshu, and leave here quickly, this place is not a place where a weak scholar like you comes from."

Xing Shangshu took another step forward, "General Li, if something like this happens in the palace, I have a certain responsibility as Shang Shuling,"

The more the other party blocked, the more he wanted to find out, because he had previous experience in the criminal department, and he was not afraid.

Li Feng had already put his hand back.

Xing Shangshu took the torch and walked a few meters forward again, the sound of the water in the ditch became clearer, and then by the light of the torch, he had already seen several figures in front of him, lying horizontally and vertically near the ditch.

He swallowed his saliva and looked to the ditch at his feet,

In the ditch beneath his feet, muddy, dirty water was flowing down the river, passing in one place in front of him and turning into another.

Xing Shangshu took a few more steps forward, and at this time, a half-crippled body lying on the ground in front of him appeared in his sight,

Seeing that body, his center trembled suddenly, as Li Feng said, this scene is quite terrifying! Half of his head and shoulders had been bitten off, his arms and feet had been severely twisted and drooping to one side, and blood was pouring out of his body's wounds.

This scene feels too bloody and terrifying.

Xing Shangshu took a deep breath, moved his gaze to the surroundings, and happened to see several other corpses, all of which were in somewhat similar situations, all of them had their limbs twisted, most of their bodies and heads had been bitten off, and blood was constantly flowing out of the wounds.

Even if he closed his eyes, his mind was full of bloody images at this time, which made his stomach and throat regurgitate.

Xing Shangshu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and stood aside.

He shouted indignantly, "Who the hell did this, to be able to kill the killer so cruelly." ”

Li Feng walked up, "Judging from the damage of the corpse, there is a high probability that it is a demon beast!" ”

"Demon beast!" Xing Shangshu immediately shouted excitedly, "How is it possible, the Demon Slayer Division has been in charge of the security of Kyoto, and no demons and monsters can enter Kyoto, let alone the Imperial Palace." ”

"Humph!" Li Feng lifted his saber and turned his head to look at the pitch-black wall in front of him, "What if this thing didn't come in from outside Kyoto?" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Xing Shangshu's forehead, "That's even more impossible!" No one has been here for so many years. ”

Li Feng felt that Xing Shangshu's words were a little funny, like those people who were extremely hard-mouthed, "You said yes!" ”

"Since Xing Shangshu doesn't want to admit it, then you should tell me, how did this demon beast come about?"

Xing Shangshu was speechless, and could only say hesitantly, "This... I don't know about this, since General Li has an idea, then let you investigate this case! ”

"No need to check it at all! I already know that. ”

"Ahh You know? ”

Li Feng said with a smile, "Probably in that situation, it's easy to speculate." ”

Early the next morning, in the dormitory of the fourteenth princess.

Li Huaiyun got up on the bed, then washed up briefly, and walked out of the house, he still remembered what the old monk Yunyou said, he had to practice the Qi Hope Technique every morning, so that he could improve the ability of the Qi Hope Technique as soon as possible.

After entering the palace last night, due to the light rain, Mu Kite took him to his dormitory and let the serving palace maid vacate the room for Li Huaiyun.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to live in the same dormitory with the princess, but the woman Mu Kite doesn't care about her reputation, she won't be angry when she says how her name is, on the contrary, if she can't do it, she will be angry and argue with you.

Li Huaiyun slept well all night, in this palace, it was extremely quiet at night, except for the sound of his own breathing, he couldn't hear any other sounds.

It's not like my own house, and there are people making noise and fighting in the streets in the middle of the night.

He activated the qi, practiced the qi technique diligently, and spent some time regulating the qi.

Li Huaiyun slowly closed his eyes, and then let the qi in his body swim in his brain, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked around, the aura in the palace was quite complicated.

He found that a black gas was spreading rapidly not far away, and there were skeletons constantly coming out of this black gas, and they screamed heartbreakingly.

What is that place? Li Huaiyun looked over there, and suddenly, that black gas surged into the air, occupying the entire line of sight.

He felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as if two knives had pierced his eyeballs.

Li Huaiyun closed his eyes and tilted his head aside, and after a while, his eyes slowly adjusted.

So what's going on with the black gas? Is there something terrible in the palace?

Li Huaiyun slowly sat down on the ground, and then opened his eyes, which had recovered.

At this time, the palace maid walked up and saw Li Huaiyun sitting on the ground, and asked curiously, "Son, why are you sitting on the ground?" ”

Li Huaiyun moved his shoulders, then stood up, "I just finished exercising in the morning, I'm a little tired, take a break on the grass!" ”

The palace maid saluted politely, "The prince can go to breakfast." ”

"Okay! Is it ready to be placed in the room where I sleep? ”

"No, it's in the princess's room."

"I'm a big man, resting in the princess's bedroom, it's already criticized, and now I'm going there for breakfast, I'm afraid..."

The palace maid looked at Li Huaiyun and said with a smile, "The princess said that she is not afraid, and the prince should not be afraid." ”

"It's not a matter of being afraid, if someone finds out...

"The princess ordered the prince to go, otherwise tell the emperor that you slept in the dormitory last night."

Li Huaiyun was stunned for a moment, this woman is ready to tie me up! It's over, won't you really be recruited as a colt, and then live in this deep palace compound, right?

It doesn't seem to be, after the wooden kite left the palace, he has been slaying the demon division! Li Huaiyun pouted, dogs don't live in this place.

"Alright! I'll go right away! ”

The maid saluted again, and hurried back to the main house where the princess was.

He was looking forward to this breakfast!
