Chun Yu went to the small building in the backyard of Yuhuangtai again, which was also empty.

Suddenly, Cheng Haoran came to the front of Chun Yu.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, the villain found that there is a secret passage at the bottom of this small building. ”

Chun Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and walked into the first floor of the small building with Cheng Haoran. Several torches had been lit around the area, illuminating the room on the first floor as if it were daytime. There is only an empty lobby on the first floor of this small building, and strangely enough, there is a dry well in the middle of the lobby.

Cheng Haoran pointed to the dry well: "The secret passage is here." ”

Chun Yu took a torch and stretched it out to the dry well, and the breeze in the dry well made the flames on the torch sway, and a thick rope was placed on the edge of the well. Chun Yi frowned: "Did someone go down to see it?" ”

Cheng Haoran nodded: "My subordinates have already sent three junior colonels to check on just now. ”

After a while, there was a shout from the well. Cheng Haoran instructed the officers and soldiers to pull up the three colonels in the well.

I saw one of the leaders bow down and kneel on the ground: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, there is a secret passage under the well that leads to the southwest." ”

Cheng Haoran asked softly, "What does Your Highness think?" Do you send someone to follow them all the way from the secret passage to see where they have gone?"

Chun Yu shook his head: "They have been on the run for a long time. There is no point in waiting for me to go through the secret passage again. I believe they must have returned to Chu Mansion outside the city. ”

He Wenqiao suddenly floated in front of Chun Yu, holding a letter in both hands: "Your Highness, your subordinates have found a letter, please look at it." ”

Chun Yu opened the envelope, took out the letter, glanced at it twice, and immediately turned extremely pale. She put the letter away in her bosom, and then led the army straight to Simon.

At this moment, Xiao Rang was leading a group of craftsmen at the west gate to repair the city gate overnight. In addition to the collapse of the jack gate and the city gate, the city gate hole was also seriously damaged.

Xiao Rang heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, and looked up, only to see a black cloud coming towards the west gate in the rain curtain. Xiao Rang hurriedly let the craftsmen dodge, and the black cloud carried the coolness of a rainy night through the west gate.

Xiao Rang looked at the black cloud, and his brows twisted into a pimple.

Just after the third watch, the pure army came to the Chu Mansion forty miles west of the city. With Chun Yu's order, the official army surrounded the Chu Mansion layer by layer.

Chun Yu let a thousand soldiers guard outside, and he took a thousand officers and soldiers directly into the mansion. This Chu Mansion is very large, with seven courtyards. However, everywhere the officers and soldiers went, the pavilions, upper rooms, and wings were all empty.

Chun Yu's brows furrowed: "Could it be that Chu Jinglian really had to run away?"

"Your Highness, look!"

With Cheng Haoran's shout, Chun Yu looked up and saw a tall building standing not far away. This tall building is on crutches and down to the ground. The dark clouds pressed directly on the roof of the high-rise building, as if a person could ride the clouds and fog as long as he stepped on the roof of the building, and died in bliss. It seems that this day is purely supported by this tall building, and if the tall building is removed, this day is bound to collapse.

There are nine floors in this tall building, and the other eight floors are all pitch black like ink, but only on the top floor is a lone lamp that flickers with mysterious light.

"Chu Jinglian, he's still here!" the princess shouted happily. Her heart fluctuated: This Chu Jinglian is really bold!

Cheng Haoran pointed to the tall building in front of him and said to Chun Yu: "Your Royal Highness Princess, that building is the Qingtian Tower, also known as the Qingtian Pavilion. ”

Chun Yu nodded and muttered to himself, "What a domineering name." ”

The rain was still falling, and the gusts of wind swept the land, and the rain hit the pure face with some pain. But she was unmoved, she didn't understand: why hadn't Chu Jinglian left yet?

Chu Jinglian had already returned to the Chu Mansion last night, and he had already sent all his subordinates away. Zhao Yushan of Yuhuangtai also retreated to Chu Mansion. Zhao Yushan personally cooked a dinner for Chu Jinglian, and the two of them were silent when they ate. After eating, Zhao Yushan followed Chu Jinglian and slowly walked up to the top floor of the Optimus Pavilion. Chu Jinglian pushed open a black lacquered wooden window, and a damp cold wind blew in his face, causing the black brocade robe on his body to hunt. Chu Jinglian didn't care at all, he looked at the dark night sky, his heart was surging, and it was difficult to control himself.

According to Chu Jinglian's plan, Dandan would take off Kangxi's head in the third watch, and then walk out of the hundred gardens unconsciously. Then as soon as the letter cannon sounded, Zhu Cihuan and the people led by him would kill out of the West Gate. Whether it is Murong Jielie, Liu Jingxuan, Moretai, or Princess Chunyu, they will all be convicted for failing to protect themselves.

On the one hand, it was the height of summer, and Kangxi's body could not be delayed here, and secondly, the eighth prince Yinren gathered a large number of courtiers, and I believe that he will inevitably make moves in the capital. The city of Yangzhou became a borderless land. And in the future, no matter who is the emperor and pickets the cause of Kangxi's death, Chu Jinglian will throw it on the head of the fake third prince Zhu. With Chu Jinglian's relationship with the imperial court, he will definitely be able to clean up after spending some silver and two exercises.

But Chu Jinglian never expected that Zhu Cihuan didn't believe in himself. Cheng Qiran gave Zhu Cihuan a plan to intercept and escape. This strategy has long been seen through by the princess Chunyu, and the masters of the four major villas have been sent to protect Kangxi. When Dandan was about to make a move, he was sabotaged by Zhu Cihuan's actions, and the assassination of Kangxi failed. Zhu Cihuan turned over and was about to go out of the West Gate, but he was already shocked at this time, so he still couldn't escape from the bloody battle. Chu Jinglian knew that once Zhu Cihuan fell into the hands of the official army, his identity would be exposed, and he had endured it for many years, and everything he had worked hard to manage would come to naught. Therefore, Chu Jinglian did not avoid the risk, personally rushed to the West Gate, blew the whistle and ordered his own people to respond outside, and ignited the mines and artillery that had been planted long ago. Only then was Zhu Cihuan able to escape, and Princess Chunyu was also injured by a landmine.

Now that Kangxi is in great trouble, it must be urgent to arrest the murderer. Chun Yu had already suspected himself when he was in Yuhuangtai, and Liu Jingxuan had already decided that he was the person behind the murder of Guo Yan's family.

It stands to reason that Chu Jinglian still has enough time to escape, but he gave up. A fire rose in his heart, and he wanted to take on the princess tonight.

Zhao Yushan stood quietly behind Chu Jinglian and didn't say a word.

Chu Jinglian suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Yushan, and said, "Why don't you leave? You should actually go." ”

Zhao Yushan smiled indifferently at Chu Jinglian: "Where did the pavilion master say this? Could it be that the pavilion master looks down on his subordinates and is a woman." ”

Chu Jinglian sighed and said, "You know, I didn't mean that. I have been working hard for so many years, and I have been planning day and night to set up this plan to assassinate the Kangxi dog thief. I don't want Zhu Cihuan, a stupid pig, to be ruined. The Optimus Pavilion will cease to exist!"
