After a day and a night of continuous investigation, the shadow of the vassal king was not found, and even Xiao Yi, a big living person, was not found, and the shadow wind guard sent to Ning Mansion also folded several people. There was still an hour before the Great Imperial Meeting, and the crown prince could not calm his mood at this time, such a thing had not happened since he was in prison.

Wang Zikai was scolded for not finding Xiao Yi, and was kneeling in the hall, pressing his head very low, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Highness, the deputy commander of Baili asks to see you. A waiter outside the hall stood at the door and said loudly.

"Biography!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suppressed the anger in his heart slightly, he turned his back to Wang Zikai, and was selecting the recital on the imperial case, this is his work in the past year, and he needs to pick out some to be presented to Emperor Taizu at the Great Imperial Meeting.

Baili Liuyun stepped into the hall quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen Your Highness in Baili Liuyun." ”

"The court meeting is about to begin, why did you come to the palace? What's the matter?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not turn around, but kept rummaging through the notebook on the imperial case.

Wang Zikai raised his head slightly, arched his hand to Baili Liuyun, and said in a low voice, "Baili...."He pointed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his finger, and then arched his hand to Baili Liuyun again, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Presumptuous! Kneel down for this palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard a whispering voice behind him and said coldly.

"The last will obey. Wang Zikai hurriedly pressed his forehead against the floor, not daring to say another word.

Baili Liuyun stood there respectfully, with a hint of loss on his face, and he stood quietly in place, with his head bowed and not making a sound.

"What's the matter?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down the notebook in his hand, turned around and leaned on the imperial case, looking at the two people in the hall, one kneeling on the ground and the other standing in the hall, both of them bowed their heads and looked like they were bowing their heads and confessing their sins. "Okay, let's talk, what's going on?"

"Your Highness, it is a crime to be lowly in your duties. Baili Liuyun knelt in the temple again and begged for retribution.

Sent everyone to disturb the entire Jinling, but did not find any shadow of the vassal king, even the shadow of the wind guard commander Xiao Yi is unknown, at this time the prince's mood is already terrible, originally planned to take a few good copies of the book into the palace to participate in the court meeting, never thought that before the selection of a good book, Baili Liuyun actually came to ask for guilt.

According to the plan he arranged in advance, Baili Liuyun should lead the Jinyi Guards in front of the Wuying Hall at this time, and as long as the Great Dynasty Meeting begins, he will ask Emperor Taizu to ask King Qing to become a vassal as a deputy commander.

At this time, he saw Baili Liuyun's expression flustered, but he didn't dare to say a word because of Wang Zikai's presence, but kept calling him to surrender. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand helplessly, sighed and said, "Okay, Wang Zikai, you quickly dispatch the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and find Xiao Yi no matter what, and the palace will know what happened." ”

"Obey the order, and the general will do it. Wang Zikai hurriedly got up, arched his hand, and ran out of the hall. I secretly said in my heart, fortunately, the clouds came in time, otherwise I don't know when I will kneel.

He ran to the door of the temple, looked back and looked in, only to see that Baili Liuyun was still kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up. Although he didn't know what mistakes he had made, he could make a hundred miles of clouds embarrassed, and Wang Zikai felt a lot more comfortable.

"Now you can say it, what happened?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the attendants of the inner court behind him to sort out the notebooks he had selected, and then moved them to the carriage that had been prepared outside the side hall.

After the waiters all retreated, Baili Liuyun raised his head, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside him, and said in a very soft voice, "The Purple Dragon Secret Song is lost." ”

"Lost?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the hundred miles of clouds kneeling in the hall in a daze, "Is it really lost?"

The first thing that came to mind was that it might be that the Jinyi Guards in the Zhenfu Division had bad intentions towards the Zilong Secret Music, or that the Order of King Qing had stolen the secret music carried by Baili Liuyun.

"Probably not. The secret music is carried with me by the lowly duty, and the ordinary brocade guards in the Zhenfu Division can't get close to my room at all, let alone steal it personally. Baili Liuyun shook his head, on the way to the prince's mansion, he was puzzled, and after thinking about it all the way, he couldn't remember when the purple dragon secret music was lost.

"Are you sure it wasn't the people from the Yamen who stole the Purple Dragon Secret Music?" the prince reminded as he lifted Baili Liuyun up, looked at his thoughtful expression, and reminded.

"Could it be that someone broke into my room at night and took advantage of my rest..."Baili Liuyun immediately denied this point of view, with his own skills, ordinary people couldn't get close to him at all, not even the disciples of the Eight Great Sects who had recently appeared in Jinling.

"You mean, someone broke into your room at night, and then took the Purple Dragon Secret Music from you while you were asleep?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly laughed. With the kung fu of a hundred miles of flowing clouds, it is impossible to take something away from him without being discovered.

"Perhaps..."Baili Liuyun recalled the man in white who appeared in Ning Mansion on the day Su Yue and Chai Wuming were killed, and Ning Wuji had always been polite to him. He had fought with the young man, and his body was peculiar and his skills were very profound, and he was a master he had never encountered.

"What? What do you remember?"

When the prince returned to the imperial case, he was about to rewrite a secret note. He stole the Purple Dragon Secret Piece no matter who it was or for what purpose. His purpose at this moment is to immediately transfer King Qing out of Jinling, even if the queen mother opposes it, he will insist on doing so.

Baili Liuyun brought up the appearance of the man in white and the disciples of the Eight Great Sects to the crown prince again in the Ning Mansion, but he hoped that his worries were unnecessary. If it was the young man in white, I was afraid that it would have something to do with Commander Ning, so it would be even more difficult to do.

"Okay, since it's lost, it's lost, and the palace can rewrite a secret note. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a few strokes, wrote a secret note, put it in the purple dragon bag on the case, and handed it to Baili Liuyun with his own hands, "Don't lose this letter again." ”

"Obedience. Baili Liuyun took the purple dragon secret music with both hands.

"Go, the Great Dynasty Meeting is about to begin, you must report the secret music to Your Majesty today, so that it is convenient for the palace to lead hundreds of officials to start playing together. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sent Baili Liuyun out of the palace gate, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't lose it again." ”

Baili Liuyun carefully put the secret music into his arms, and went straight out of the house under the guidance of the waiter in the inner court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at the bamboo forest in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, and saw a figure flashing by, but did not pay attention to it, but turned around and walked back to the main hall directly.

"Since my friend is here, why don't you come in and see it? There is a new tea here in the palace that has just been tributed. The prince's voice came from inside the hall, and the figure flashed by and strode into the hall.
