Qingping Palace

A peaceful and tranquil scenery in the palace, the sun is beautiful, slanting on the water, sparkling, the breeze blows, bringing up the rustling of poplars, and occasionally a maidservant passes by quietly, and the wind and drizzle.

The study is simple and generous, but also luxurious. The floor is as smooth as a mirror, the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and various collections are displayed on the lattice shelves.

Zhu Luofeng sat in front of the rosewood bookcase, holding the pen and writing something on the paper, the tip of the pen quickly crossed the paper, rustling. The tea cup placed on the side is slowly steaming hot, exuding bursts of tea fragrance.

Zhu Luofeng sighed heavily, tore another piece of paper that he was still writing just now, and threw it aside, he couldn't remember clearly, this was the first piece of paper he tore. Zhu Luofeng rubbed his slightly frowning brows. For some reason, he was a little restless today. In other words, since he knew that the daughter of Duanmu Mansion had returned home safely, he had faintly felt uneasy.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the study, and Zhu Luofeng glanced over and said with a little displeasure, "Come in." ”

Walking into the study was Zhu Luofeng's confidant guard Chang Ning, Chang Ning held a letter in his hand, hurriedly walked up to Zhu Luofeng and saluted, "Lord Wang, I have a letter from you." ”

"Letters?" Zhu Luofeng raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

In a high position, Zhu Luofeng has always acted cautiously, not revealing the slightest flaw, including every word he writes, every sentence is very cautious, and the letters exchanged with others when necessary are also cautious and cautious, and must be carefully considered every word, not to mention that there will be letters that are so blatantly transmitted into the house.

After thinking about it a few times, Zhu Luofeng still took the letter, the envelope was thick, the letter paper was beige white dark pattern, slightly shiny, Zhu Luofeng pinched it in his hand, and the uneasiness in his heart came again.

The letter was fully unfolded, and after only reading two lines, Zhu Luofeng's hand paused slightly, his eyes suddenly tightened, and after coming back to his senses, he suddenly stared at Chang Ning, "Who came from this letter?"

Chang Ning replied truthfully, "It's a man in black, saying that it is news from a small courtyard in the suburbs, so that his subordinates must hand it over to you in person, and his subordinates are about to ask one or two, but the person is missing." ”

Zhu Luofeng frowned, Chang Ning was also a very discerning person, seeing his master like this, he knew that something bad might happen, he thought about it again and again, and tentatively comforted, "The prince can rest assured, since this letter entered the palace, it has passed through the hands of a subordinate person, as for the messenger, his subordinates also thought that he was from his hometown, and in the name of reminiscing about the past, he sent his henchmen to investigate." ”

Zhu Luofeng breathed a sigh of relief, "You did a good job! If necessary, you can solve it yourself." After that, Zhu Luofeng made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Dare to blatantly go to the palace to deliver a letter, it is not an ordinary person, let alone a force that belongs to himself. It is very likely that it is a trap for someone with a bad heart who wants to catch his handle, or maybe that person is the prince's person.

"Yes. The subordinates retired. Chang Ning left the study with interest and closed the door tightly.

On the letterhead, the names of some senior officials in the DPRK and the central government and the situation in the small courtyard in the suburbs were written. It turned out that those black-clothed people with the crescent moon swallowing sun pattern were the forces under Zhu Luofeng. Their existence is nothing more than concealing their whereabouts and being ready at any time. Zhu Luofeng repeatedly secretly warned to be careful.

But there are a few people who are good at making claims, because the silver taels that were lost were going to participate in the kidnapping of the daughter of Duanmu Mansion, so that their whereabouts were exposed, so that others pinched the handle, Zhu Luofeng looked at the letter, and reached out to push the teacup down. The teacup fell to the ground, the powder was shattered, and the tea flowed unscrupulously.

At this moment, a slightly rapid breath sounded in his ears, and a figure appeared in the corner, and a faint shadow appeared on the clean wall. But even if it was just a faint shadow, it was not difficult to see that the man's clothes and hair were a little scattered, and his body trembled slightly from the slightly rapid breathing.

Zhu Luofeng didn't seem to be surprised, but his deep gaze swept over, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows became more and more obvious, "So embarrassed, but you just came back from escaping?"

The man waited until he was breathing steadily, and then said in annoyance, "It's the subordinates who are negligent." ”

"Negligence?" Zhu Luofeng laughed angrily, but his voice was unusually soft, "Just because of your negligence, this king's good subordinates were handed over to you, but now they are lost in vain, how do you say this account should be calculated?"

"The subordinate is guilty!" the man bowed slightly, "This time it is indeed the negligence of the subordinates, the killer is well-trained and closely coordinated, and the subordinates arrived too late." ”

Zhu Luofeng's eyes were scorching, as if he was going to pass through the corner of the wall and see through the man, "Can you find out the origin of the killer?"

"Not yet. The man clearly felt Zhu Luofeng's anger in the corner of the wall, and hurriedly continued to reply, "Don't worry, your subordinates have sent someone to check again, and there will be results soon." It's just..."

Zhu Luofeng raised his eyebrows, "Just what?"

"My subordinates found out a few days ago that the daughter of Duanmu Mansion was rescued by a group of people of unknown origin, led by a..." ”

"Blind?"

Yes, he was blindfolded with a black cloth, and he could not see his true face. It is said that some of the refugees in the towns and villages around Guard City were blessed by them and jokingly called him the 'Black-Eyed Man'. The Ling Jue team that transported the silver taels in the Ling Ye Palace before was also wiped out by them. The subordinates dared to speculate that the incident in the small courtyard in the suburbs may also be their doing. ”

"Black-eyed man..."Zhu Luofeng muttered in a low voice, he had heard of the reputation of this 'black-eyed man', but at that time he only thought it was a joke about the people listening to books in the teahouse, and he didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that ......

Zhu Luofeng smiled faintly, "It's a bit interesting to be so capable even though you're blind, if you have the chance, this king wants to invite him to tea." "For some reason, this 'black-eyed man' always reminds him of another person.

The man was silent, patiently waiting for Zhu Luofeng's next command.

Zhu Luofeng retracted his gaze, no longer asked, and his eyes fell on the letter again, "Investigate thoroughly! In addition, we have sent reliable manpower to keep an eye on the situation in the Prince's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the palace. Over there in Shadow Villa, I don't want any more problems, especially that Li Shijie and Su Kexin, I must send someone to keep an eye on them. ”

"Yes. ”

"It is the living who will always leave traces, and if there is any news of the 'black-eyed man', it will also be reported. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. The man paused slightly, silently disappeared, and disappeared.

Zhu Luofeng stared at the letter, and then tore the letter apart and threw it aside......

The main hall of the Midnight Palace

On the thick stone pillars, there are flickering oil lamps, the light is dim and makes people feel cold, and in the middle of the wall in front of them is carved a tiger's head, which has a bloody mouth and a hideous face, as if it wants to devour people.

Wei Mei sat on the right seat, looking at the black-clothed hands kneeling in front of him, trembling like chaff, his slender and dry fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the seat, and the quiet atmosphere became more and more depressing.

After a long time, the charm suppressed her voice and roared, "Waste!" As she spoke, she picked up the inkstone on the side and smashed it down, hitting the arm of the black-clothed man, and the black-clothed man was in pain, but he didn't dare to make the slightest sound.

The Ling Jue team was robbed on the way to escort Yin Liang to the branch of the Ling Ye Palace, and the supplies of the Ling Ye Palace were repeatedly intercepted. Duanmu Luoqing, who was under strict guard, was rescued, and he also lost two secret strongholds in vain, and the successive failures made Wei Mei angry in his heart. After a long time, Wei Mei said coldly, "Who is it this time?!"

"It's a group of people of unknown origin, led by the Black-Eyed Man. ”

Black-eyed man! The Nightmare clenched her fists, her knuckles creaking, and sure enough, it was them, of unknown origin, as if they had suddenly appeared overnight. The well-organized killer of the Lingye Palace was defeated by a blind man!

The ghost's eyes shine through the iron mask, unleashing bloodthirsty murderous intent. In a blink of an eye, he saw the man in black and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Get down!"

The man in black quickly departed as if he had been pardoned.
