Whew......

Two wind-breaking sounds, mixed with two rich killing intent intent approached Lin Dao from two completely different directions.

Lin Dao stood in place, motionless.

He didn't look to either side, because that wasn't needed.

The murderous aura is getting closer and closer.

The two war knives, like two thunderbolts, suddenly broke into this void.

They have only one goal, and that is the forest knife.

Lin Dao finally moved at the moment when the two knives fell.

I saw his figure flicker slightly, and the whole person appeared behind one of the guards like a ghost.

Subsequently, without any fancy, a palm, lightly chopped off.

Palm falls, people faint!

Seeing this, the other person's body stopped suddenly, his eyes were full of fear, and at the same time he looked at Lin Dao, the hand holding the knife kept trembling.

Lin Dao frowned slightly.

"Who are you? No...... Don't come over ......."

The man shouted loudly, trying to get his fellow men in the cave to come out and help.

Lin Dao sighed slightly.

Then he stepped out, and his figure came directly in front of the man.

"If you can't even hold a knife firmly, don't hold it. ”

"Because knives are not toys that can be taken casually. ”

Lin Dao slowly said these two words in the man's ear.

After saying that, he raised his hand slightly, and with a hand knife, he passed him unconscious.

Lin Dao slowly picked up the knife in his hand.

At this moment, the people in the cave were attracted by Fang Cai's shout.

"Who are you?"

The questioner was a middle-aged man, dressed as a barbarian, with broad shoulders and a round waist, holding two axes, and his face was not good.

Behind him, there were about twenty people, holding various weapons in their hands, and surrounded the forest knife in the middle.

There is murder in everyone's eyes.

Lin Dao looked at these people and did not speak.

He has always rarely spoken, especially in the face of dying people, and he is even more reluctant to waste words with them.

Because there is no need at all.

He prefers to use a knife to talk to these people than to his tongue.

Speaking in this way is often more effective than using the tongue.

His knife was on his back.

But he didn't draw his sword.

Because he had a knife in his hand.

The knife belonged to the guard who had passed out, but at this time, it was in his hand.

He slowly grasped the knife and quietly looked at the person in front of him.

The barbarian middle-aged man's face turned gloomy.

"Don't you speak...... In that case, be prepared to pay the price!"

When the words fell, the middle-aged man suddenly raised the axe in his hand.

"Kill me!"

The barbarians around him, under this order, waved their weapons one after another and killed them.

The forest knife flickered and moved, and the knife in his hand also swirled like a windmill, blooming with a brilliant sword.

At the same time, Huo Yuanji and Ling Xiaowu, who were secretly in the dark, also made a move.

As soon as Huo Yuanji made a move, the fire pole internal force in one hand shocked all the enemies in the cave.

The flames of internal force that were like essence almost frightened the courage of these people.

"Fire Demon, Fire Demon ......"

"This person must be the legendary fire demon!"

Many people exclaimed.

Huo Yuanji's nose was almost crooked, and he wanted to grab these people's ears and ask a question.

Have you ever seen such a handsome fire demon?

Of course, I don't know if the other party can listen to it.

Compared to him, the movement caused by Ling Xiaowu was much smaller.

First, Ling Xiaowu's Taiyi Immortal Demon Internal Force did not have the eye-catching form of the Fire Pole Internal Force.

Second, Ling Xiaowu's internal force is restrained, and his moves and styles are even more unpretentious, simple and direct, with one punch and one leg, without any fancy.

Although there are many people who come out of the cave, most of them are not very high.

Under the attack of the three people, they often couldn't hold on to a few moves, and they were defeated.

After a while, there were only two people left standing.

One of them was a barbarian man with an axe.

This man seemed to be the leader of the group.

And the other person, although he was young and didn't know any systematic martial arts moves, insisted on relying on his own reaction ability and speed.

He is the slaughterer of wolves.

The big man with the axe looked at his companions who were lying on the ground, and then at the three unscathed people in front of him, and his heart was full of fear.

Is this still human?

With only three people, in such a short period of time, they put down more than 30 of their own good players.

He had an intuition that the three people in front of him, no matter any of them, were definitely not something he could deal with his strength.

As the leader of this group, he felt his weakness for the first time in his life.

Seeing Lin Dao and the three of them slowly walking forward, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

But soon he regretted it.

Because he saw the slaughter of wolves in the same situation as himself, and he did not retreat a step.

Not only did he not retreat, but the wolf's eyes kept staring at the three people in front of him.

In his opinion, this is simply an act of seeking death.

But the wolf slaughterer is younger than him, but he can bravely face the enemy without flinching.

And he will only cowardly escape and retreat.

It's a shame.

At this moment, the big man with the axe thought not of the result of slaughtering the wolf, but of the picture of him laughing at himself.

I have to say, it's a bit subtle.

But it's true.

So, after the big man with the axe retreated, he forcibly let his body take a few steps forward.

Ling Xiaowu glanced at him with interest.

"Although you do show your bravery by doing so. ”

"But for us, such bravery, really...... It's silly. ”

The moment the last word fell, Ling Xiaowu stunned the wolf slayer and him.

When the three of them came to the deepest part of the cave, they saw that there was a small cage in one corner of the cave.

In the cage, there was a woman with a somewhat miserable appearance.

Her coat was torn somewhere, and she was wearing only a simple small coat, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed, and some scars and bruises were faintly visible, distributed among them.

Her hair ornament was also thrown somewhere, and her hair was scattered, covering her face and making it difficult to see.

Seeing this scene, the three of them didn't know how to express it.

According to the information, the woman in front of her should be the eighth princess who is locked up here.

But since she is a princess, why is she so embarrassed.

What's going on here?

Just thinking about it, the eighth princess in the cage seemed to realize that someone was coming, and looked up to reveal a pair of confused and fearful eyes.

When people see it, they can't help but feel pity.

"Who are you?"

She seemed to recognize that the three people in front of her were strangers, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Are they here to vent to me?" she asked.

Huo Yuanji sighed softly and spoke.

"We are here to save people, dare to ask, are you the eighth princess of the barbarian country?"

Hearing this, the eighth princess raised her head suddenly, and her eyes, hidden under her hair, flashed with a shining essence.

"Are you really here to save me?" she said, a little disbelieving.

"Yes. Huo Yuanji nodded.

At this moment, there was a fierce fight next door, and after a while, calm returned.

Huo Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Woniu Mountain had been completely controlled by them.

......

......

Xue Tianhan looked at the outward side of the window and smiled.

More precisely, he was looking at the part that corresponded to the latch.

Because there, there is a small round hole.

Xue Tianhan compared the position and found that this small round hole corresponded to the end of the window latch that was fixed to the window.

"Brother Chen, here. ”

Chen Yutian had just finished asking the captain of the eleventh squad at this time, and was thinking about it, when he heard Xue Tianhan calling him, he temporarily suppressed the question in his heart and came to Xue Tianhan's side.

"What's wrong, did you find anything?"

Xue Tianhan pointed to the window latch, and then to the round hole outside.

Chen Yutian watched Xue Tianhan demonstrate the role of the window latch, and it was nothing.

But when he saw the round hole, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then the two of them compared their positions, and a trace of suddenness came to his heart.

He looked at Xue Tianhan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I see...... This kind of design is indeed a good way to make a secret room. ”

"However, it still needs to be tested, and if it is feasible, then the method they used to create this secret chamber is generally clear......"

Xue Tianhan said lightly.

Chen Yutian nodded, "Indeed, but there is one thing I don't understand, how did the murderer quietly kidnap the second princess?

Maybe the other party used the smoke to stun her. ”

"Well, that's a possibility. Chen Yutian affirmed.

"But I always felt that it wasn't that simple. ”

Xue Tianhan frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

After a stick of incense, the on-site investigation work was basically completed.

The scene was handed over to the Taigong and his subordinates who hurried into the palace from outside.

Originally, an incident like this that happened in the inner garden of the harem was also responsible for a special agency in the palace.

However, because the case of the disappearance of the princess was tacitly caused by the fox demon concubine, the investigation of the case was handed over to the Taigong who was in charge of the matter.

In addition to taking over the scene, Yuan came here to bring a discovery.

This discovery is related to the poisoning of the two princes.

According to Yuan Lin's investigation in the past two days, he asked one thing.

That is, before the two princes had a hunting competition, in order to show friendship, they used tea instead of wine in the pavilion, and each toasted a glass.

"That's not wrong, that's when the dead wood grass was drunk. Chen Yutian said with great certainty.

"Do you know who served those two cups of tea?"

"Here's the problem, I've checked everyone, and they don't know where that tea came from, don't you think it's strange?"

Yuan Lin smiled bitterly.

Xue Tianhan raised an eyebrow.

The three daughters of Xuan Xi were also surprised.

"How could it not be found? Since we know that the prince drinks tea, then someone always serves tea, and the person who asks the person who serves the tea will know?" Tang Fengling said.

"If only it were that simple. ”

Yuan Lin smiled bitterly even harder.

"I asked the man who served the tea, and he said that the tea was prepared in the morning and placed in the imperial dining room, but he didn't know if there was dead wood and grass in it at the beginning. ”

I asked him who made the tea, and he said he didn't know, only that it had been arranged for the chefs in the imperial dining room early in the morning. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

"This matter has been hard work. Now that the clue has pointed to the imperial dining room, let's leave it to us who live in the palace to investigate. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Yuan Lin nodded.

"After all, it's much easier for you to investigate. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, then looked around, only to find that Jieli had left.

"Is Your Majesty gone?"

"Oh, Your Majesty has other important matters, so he left first, and he wants me to tell you that you must solve the case as soon as possible, and there must be no next missing princess. ”

Yuan Lin replied.

Chen Yutian nodded, "I understand...... I'll leave it to the Taigong first, and we'll go investigate the imperial dining room first. ”

"Okay, leave it to me first. ”

Yuan Lin nodded, and Chen Yutian immediately left with everyone.

Just a few steps away, Xuan Xi found that Gongsun had been frowning and groaning since just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Gongsun, what are you thinking?"

In a word, Gongsun's thoughts were pulled back.

He looked at Xuan Xi, and suddenly asked with a solemn expression, "Have you noticed that Jieli is a little different from usual today?"

"Oh?" everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all shaking their heads slightly.

"Nope. He looks exactly the same as usual, what's the difference?"

Xuan Xi looked at him curiously.

The others are also a little unclear, so they all look at Gongsun.

Gongsun thought for a moment, "Hmm...... Anyway, maybe you don't pay much attention, I noticed that his complexion is a little bad. ”

"Could it be that he is sick?" Ling Miaoyin guessed.

"It's unlikely. Gongsun shook his head, "Because his complexion is not worse today, the first few times I saw him, I also felt like this, but it was not too obvious, but it was especially obvious today." ”

Chen Yutian tried hard to recall his previous appearance, but he still couldn't see what was wrong with his complexion.

Maybe it's because Gongsun is a healer, so he's particularly sensitive to this aspect.

"What do you mean?" Xue Tianhan wondered.

"For example, his complexion today is worse than what I saw yesterday, yesterday was worse than what I saw the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday was worse than what I saw the day before yesterday......"

Everyone was almost stunned by his yesterday and the day before yesterday, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What do you mean...... His complexion is getting worse day by day......"

Chen Yutian's expression became solemn.

"Yes, and the magnitude of the change is getting bigger, which is not like a sign of a general illness. Gongsun nodded slightly.

Xue Tianhan also became serious, and asked, "In your opinion, what could be the reason?"

Gongsun thought about it, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, he looked at everyone, and said solemnly, "With my experience, there is only one possibility. ”

"That's it...... Poisoning. Moreover, it should be a chronic poison!"

Hearing this, Chen Yutian and the others were suddenly taken aback!

"You mean...... Someone poisoned him, and he was using chronic poison?"

Chen Yutian slowly spoke in disbelief.

"Yes, in my opinion, there is only one possibility. ”

Gongsun nodded with great certainty.
