Out of the North Shore City, over the Enchanting Mountain, and then across the Luo River, the Heavenly Imperial City greeted the first rays of the dawn, reflecting the brilliance.

The Heavenly Expeditionary Bird flew around the outer city, and the beacon fire had been lit on the beacon tower below to welcome the return of the military pavilion master.

The alien beasts of the ten detachments of the military pavilion, together with the only one Heavenly Expeditionary Bird, could not enter the inner city, and could only dock on the beacon tower in the outer city, and then turn to horses and enter the city.

Xiao Qianye jumped down from the bird's back and found that there was already an envoy from the Danzhen Palace waiting for him there with an empty stretcher below.

"Young Pavilion Master!" Du Yun, the deputy general stationed at the headquarters of the military pavilion, also hurriedly greeted him, Xiao Qianye pointed to the thing wrapped in white cloth on the bird's back, and said, "Lao Fu Danzhen Palace has come to pick it up in person, Du Yun, you can send it to the palace master." ”

"Yes. Twilight carefully took the object, unwrapped it from its face and examined it, it was the corpse of a woman, with blue hair and a beautiful face, and although it had been dead for a long time, her skin was still soft, as if she had just fallen asleep.

"Pavilion Master, Palace Master, please go to Danzhen Palace together and wait for the results of the autopsy. The messenger quickly took the body from Twilight's hand, carefully placed it on the stretcher, and bowed to him again, smiling.

"Oh?" he glanced at the two envoys, and Twilight reminded in a whisper, "Last night, the various departments sent people to wait in the Danzhen Palace, the Forbidden Army, the Star Sacrifice Palace, and the Ink Pavilion are all here, so it would be better for you to go there yourself, lest they get in the way." ”

"Heh......" He just sneered, no wonder Xiao Yibai would use that kind of technique that he had never used before when he killed her, just to prevent people from finding out the clues, right?

"Then the two messengers will lead the way. He turned on his horse, and the lieutenant followed, and the messenger hurriedly stuffed the body into the carriage of his companions, and flicked his whip: "Rack—"

Entering the inner city of Tianyu from the beacon tower, walking on the cross avenue in the north of the city, at this time, it was the first detachment of the forbidden army to change the guard, and the purple and gold uniforms reflected the bright morning glow, which was particularly eye-catching.

After entering the inner city and continuing to the west, I saw two tall buildings facing each other, Danzhen Palace is a six-story attic made of mahogany, and the Star Sacrifice Palace is a gorgeous palace made of white bricks, the rich fragrance of Chinese herbs and the diffuse magic aura are mixed together, which is another unique scene.

"It's coming, it's coming!" the medicine boy, who had been guarding outside for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over to help move the corpse.

"Tap!" The old doctor next to him scolded angrily, eager to take action himself, "Clumsy, don't break it!"

"Doctor Zhao, haven't you slept all night and waited?" Xiao Qianye looked at the old man's dark eyes, he was obviously very tired, his hands and feet were trembling, but he was still nervously guarding the door, and he was obviously relieved until just now.

"Hey, how can I sleep here, there are a bunch of people guarding inside!" Doctor Zhao complained a few words, Xiao Qianye's mouth suddenly flashed a sneer, and he strode into the Danzhen Palace, the main hall was surrounded by messengers sent by various ministries to wait for information, and when he saw him walk in, he retreated to both sides in unison, and he didn't dare to talk to him in muttering.

"Pavilion Master, please inside, the Palace Master is already waiting for you. A female healer who ran out of the apse and whispered, "The Governor is also there......

"Governor Gao is here in person?" He was a little surprised, followed the female doctor into the apse, and found that in addition to Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, as well as the prince and the prince of the Mo Pavilion, the Fa Zhu of the Star Palace, and even the warden of the King Water Prison, Xiao Qianye immediately understood, no wonder that group of people stood outside without being tired, it turned out that the people from this apse were all big people.

A white curtain was pulled up in the apse, and a stone bed was placed in the center, Lan Xin's body had been placed on it, and the Danzhen Palace Master changed his clothes and took a few doctors to start the examination directly.

"It's been a hard month for the Pavilion Master. The one who spoke was a tall old man, sitting in the center, with several shiny military insignia pinned to the shoulders of his purple-gold uniform, and a pure gold greatsword in his hand.

Xiao Qianye's eyes wandered, looking at the sword—it was one of the Four Emperor Swords of the same level as the Thunder Emperor of the Hundred Miles Marshal of the Navy, Emperor Yan.

After a while, he turned his face, bowed, and said, "It's because of his incompetence and inability to capture the fugitive alive, which has disappointed Governor Gao." ”

"Alas, the military pavilion master and the old man are of the same level, why be so formal?" Gao Chengchuan lifted him and shouted at the medicine boy beside him, "The military pavilion master rushed over with all his might, won't you move a stool?"

"That's not necessary. Xiao Qianye smiled and stopped the medicine boy, "Although they are of the same level, the elders and young still have to be respectful, and the Governor has always been an example for Xiao Qianye to learn." ”

"I don't have much to learn from you. Gao Chengchuan knew that he was just talking politely, he looked behind the curtain and pointed to the corpse, "What kind of ability does this woman have? You can actually look for you in North Shore City for a whole month? I have read the information about her at the end of the world, and I don't look like a person who has the ability to do such a thing under your nose?"

"After all, he is a leader of an alien race, and he really has some ability to look at the powerlessness of the chicken. Xiao Qianye fooled around casually, his answer was obviously unable to convince others, Fa Zhu of the Star Sacrifice Palace snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of joke is the military pavilion master, this is also called a bit of ability? Her traces can't even be found by the Eight Desolation Glazed Si Xingyi, the military pavilion master is really capable, and he can still find her, and kill her......

"Cold rain Fa Zhu, it's not a glorious thing that the Star Sacrifice Palace can't find anyone. Xiao Qianye didn't let him go, and he almost jumped up with a word, but fortunately, the prince next to him held down Fa Zhu and coughed lightly, "Pavilion Master, was she already dead when you found her?"

"When I found her...... It's dead. Xiao Qianye's face did not change, as if he was stating the facts, "This is indeed my dereliction of duty." ”

"How did you die?" The prince and the prince hurriedly asked, Xiao Qianye took a step away and pointed behind the curtain, "This will not be known until the palace master has checked it, isn't the prince also waiting for the result?"

"You ......" The crown prince looked at him angrily, and it was not easy to attack, so he had to snort coldly, and said in a weird manner, "In the end, it is His Royal Highness the Prince, who speaks much harder than before." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the apse cooled down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always protected the Tianzheng Mansion, it seems that those rumors in the market are still somewhat true, right?" Han Yu also followed up with a sentence, and sure enough, he saw the cold light that flashed in Xiao Qianye's eyes.

Prince Mingxi is over twenty-eight years old and has not yet married, and after several royal brothers and sisters have already started a family, only the crown prince is still alone.

And all the rumors in the market come from the special winter clothes made by the Tilting Workshop every year to the Tianzheng Mansion - the Tilting Workshop is the best weaving and embroidery workshop in the Imperial City, the clothes produced are novel in style and luxurious in materials, and were later pointed out to the crown prince by the Emperor Tianquan, since then, all the court clothes and plain clothes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are from the hands of the Tilting Clothes Workshop, and the only exception is the Tianzheng Mansion.

Since eight years ago, every winter, in addition to the winter clothes specially provided for the crown prince, another copy will be made and distributed to the Tianzheng Mansion.

Xiao Qianye has always only worn the uniform of the military pavilion, but his eldest brother Xiao Yibai accepted the prince's kindness, Xiao Yibai seems to be particularly afraid of cold, plus he is stationed in the Weeping Snow Plateau in Jialuo all the year round, so he didn't say much, but the rumors in the market spread far and wide, and even looked like it, intensifying.

It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a habit of breaking sleeves.

He also hinted to his brother several times to avoid suspicion, but Xiao Yibai always laughed it off and didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most important son of Emperor Tianquan, no matter how realistic and outrageous the rumors are, no one will really dare to discuss it in public, it will cause the wrath of the saint and the head will fall to the ground.

Now that I think about it, Xiao Yibai can separate a soul and a soul to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, what is it with just a few clothes?

"You two, are you tired of living?" Gao Chengchuan scolded, so frightened that the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads, "Talking openly about the prince, don't want your head anymore?"

"Governor Gao is angry, and we are ...... Let's talk about it. The crown prince and the prince glanced at Fa Zhu embarrassedly, Han Yu also closed his mouth in amusement, Gao Chengchuan snorted boringly, turned his head to the silent prison warden, and asked, "Lao Zhuang, the military pavilion master only brought back the corpse of that woman, and the fugitive from the King Water Prison has not been whereabouts yet, I think you better go back first, don't spend it here when you are old." ”

"There may be clues. The warden opened his eyes at this time, he looked about the same age as Gao Chengchuan, but his skin was dark, thin and lean, and a pair of shrewd eyes kept looking at Xiao Qianye, and asked, "Pavilion Master, is the other fugitive dead or running away?"

"Probably dead. Xiao Qianye looked at him directly, knowing that he couldn't show a trace of nervousness in front of such a person, "There are more than a hundred sea beasts in the north shore city, with the ability of a fugitive, the possibility of being bitten to death by the sea beast is relatively high, even if he escapes by luck, he won't live long without the Requiem Pill." ”

"Oh......" Zhuang Mo deliberately lengthened his tone, and found that the other party did not change color, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

What a calm person...... He was secretly surprised in his heart that a young man would have the stability and maturity of a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, and even made him feel that what this person said was true and he was not lying.

But years of intuition told him that what this man said could never be true.

The white curtain moved, and the Danzhen Palace Master walked out from behind the curtain, he took off his coat, took a breath, and said with a smile: "Ah, I've kept you waiting." ”

Several people looked over at the same time, and they all wondered - who is this guy?

He looked like he was just a teenager, and even the white coat was a little wide on him, and his face had not yet taken off his immaturity, looking at a room full of high-ranking officials with a smile, without restraint.

"Ah! I forgot to introduce, I am the new palace master, my name is Qiao Yu, and I will officially take over the Danzhen Palace from today, please take care of me. He tilted his head and smiled, and took the manual handed over by the doctor next to him, "You have been waiting since yesterday, and I won't waste time talking nonsense, the corpse inside is indeed Lan Xin, the leader ......of the Lingyin Clan, and it is indeed dead."

"Wait, who are you? Mo Ge didn't receive a notice that Danzhen Palace has been replaced?" The crown prince interrupted the young son's words, according to the usual practice, if there is a personnel change in the court, it will definitely be reported to Mo Ge in advance, there is no precedent for overstepping the level and suddenly changing people!

"Oh, I guess I haven't had time to report to Moge yet. He scratched his head and said shyly, "The day before yesterday, my father suddenly fell seriously ill and has been sent back to Syracuse City to recuperate, my father is very old, and he is also the lord of Syracuse City and the lord of Danzhen Palace, it is really a little powerless, and there are only a few sisters in my family, it is not good to come out and show up, so I can only catch ducks on the shelves, let me rush from Syracuse overnight to take over the position of Danzhen Palace, the document was only prepared this morning, and Moge should not have had time to review it, right? But please rest assured that this matter has been reported to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness has agreed. ”

"Oh?" Gao Chengchuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, glanced at Zhuang Mo with a hearty glance, and smiled quietly.

At this juncture, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly replaced Danzhen Palace...... Sure enough, the incident in North Shore City has another hidden story, right?
