 Luo Guan suddenly had the idea of ​​going to find out what was going on, but after a few turns, he was suppressed. There is a big secret in the imperial palace, this is inevitable, otherwise why would the Zhao royal family share Qingyang with Emperor Wu?

.

The orthodox status of the royal family? Noble bloodline? Those are all false. In the final analysis, it is necessary to have strong enough strength.

Therefore, even though there is a "bloody feud" between the royal family and the Imperial Martial Arts, they are still able to maintain superficial calm.

And this calmness can be understood as mutual concern!

For example, in the imperial palace, the old eunuch named Lao Gou is a card of the royal family, but the card of the old Zhao family is obviously not the only one.

Opening it rashly will only break the current peace... And Luo Guan doesn't have the strength to draw his sword in all directions and sweep away the enemies in the world.

Two days later, a secret message was delivered to the Imperial Capital. After seeing the runes clearly marked, the letter was sent to the desk of the senior executive.

After the deciphering was completed, the vice-president who had been in charge of Imperial Intelligence for many years sent a message to the Sword Tower without hesitation.

Luo Guan came quickly.

The vice-president’s surname was Li. He was an old man from Emperor Wu during the old dean’s time. He had always been loyal and reliable. He bowed and saluted, “Meet the dean.” His style was straightforward and he said directly, “You once ordered us to focus on Qiu Yunzhai of the Imperial Palace.

, this is the information we just received.”

The Imperial Palace and the Imperial Martial Arts have a tendency to infiltrate and mix with each other.

It just depends on who has better means.

Therefore, there are emperor martial agents in the imperial palace, and there are definitely more than one.

Luo Guan opened the information and read it quickly, his face darkened.

The content of the information is very simple. It probably means that the cold palace woman in Qiu Yunzhai has been missing mysteriously in recent days, and the follow-up situation is under investigation.

Vice President Li said in a deep voice, "Dean, there are several pieces of information here, which more or less mentioned the disappearance of the palace people."

After reading through several other letters, I found that this situation has started to appear half a month ago. In the huge imperial palace, there are a few people missing here and a few people missing there. It is not eye-catching at all. After all, there are always people who are not eye-catching.

It is normal for a slave to disappear after offending the nobles.

But when you put this information together, you will discover a shocking fact - the entire imperial palace seems to be hiding a monster that is secretly eating people.

After bidding farewell to Vice President Li, Luo Guan returned to the back mountain and looked at the imperial palace from a distance with a solemn expression.

It seems that I still have to take a trip after all.

Not to mention anything else, since we know that Jin Ya's biological mother is now in Qiu Yunzhai, how can we just watch something happen to her?

I just hope it's not too late now.

At night, a black cat appeared on the palace wall, almost safely blending into the night. It was staring at a fat mouse in the corner with wide eyes.

Suddenly, the black cat was killed, and the rat's "squeaking" screams spread in the night, causing the palace guards to laugh and scold, to the effect that there were too many wild cats in the palace, and they should find a way to clean them up.

The black cat jumped away with the fat mouse in its mouth, its ears suddenly twitched, and it looked at the top of its head in confusion, feeling that something seemed to have flown past just now.

Wearing a black robe that covered his whole body, Luo Guan reached the Qiu Yun Zhai without even realizing it. He climbed over the wall and entered it. After just one glance, he couldn't help but frown. Those crazy women who once wandered around...

There are only a few here and there now.

Under the dilapidated corridor, a woman huddled up, her eyes widened in fear, "Don't catch me! Don't catch me! You slaves, I am His Majesty."
My beloved concubine, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

"You're eating people... Hahaha... You're really going to eat people... You bitches, you all deserve to be dragged out and eaten..." Another crazy woman suddenly opened the door and rushed out, "I won't

You know, I really don’t know anything, don’t kill me..."

"It's better to die, it's better to die... If you all die, no one will compete with me for favor, and your Majesty will be able to change his mind!"

Luo Guan withdrew his eyes and went straight to Jin Ya's biological mother's residence. He saw the light from a distance, leaned over and took a look inside, and felt relieved.

I saw a woman sitting in front of the table, holding a string of Buddhist beads and chanting in a low voice.

After thinking for a while, Luo Guan raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?" the woman looked wary.

"Aunt, it's me."

The door opened quickly, and the woman looked surprised, "Why are you here again? You can't break into this important palace!"

That night, shortly after Luo Guan left, there was news of arresting the assassin in the palace, which scared the woman so much that she couldn't sleep well for several days. Fortunately, she learned from a guard that the assassin escaped from the palace, and she

Then I felt relieved.

Luo Guandao said, "Auntie, I just heard the woman outside talking about cannibalism... There are indeed many fewer people in Qiu Yunzhai. Do you know what happened?"

The woman frowned and said, "There are secrets in the palace. It won't do you any good to know...that's all. I'm telling you, you have to leave immediately after hearing this."

"In this imperial palace, weird things happen every few years. A large number of palace residents disappear inexplicably. It is rumored that someone has encountered a man-eating monster somewhere in the imperial palace... After that, the news

It has been spread privately...and recently, it seems that this kind of thing has started to happen again."

The woman hesitated, "In the past few nights, I heard the sound of the palace door opening, but nothing else... The next day, some people disappeared. I didn't dare to open the door to see, not knowing what happened.

"She urged Luo Guan, "Okay, that's all I know, please leave quickly!"

Luo Guan was thoughtful and stood up and said, "Auntie, it's too dangerous in the imperial palace. You can't stay here any longer."

The woman looked shocked, "What do you want to do? I am a person in the cold palace. I can only stay here and wait for death in this life. Don't do anything stupid!"

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything. Auntie can just follow the visitor later." Luo Guan pushed the door open and disappeared.

After leaving Qiu Yunzhai, Luo Guan quickly approached the area north of the Ancestral Temple that had been burned by flames based on his memory.

Looking from a distance, now in the dark night, this place is even more mysterious, and there is great uneasiness in the dead silence.

At this moment, Luo Guan's face changed slightly and he retreated into the shadows.

Footsteps sounded, and a group of people walked towards this place. The leader was a pale little eunuch who was carrying a red lantern and had a dull expression.

Behind him, there was a line of silent palace servants, including eunuchs and palace maids. The strange thing was that they all had their eyes closed now, as if they were sleeping, with smiles on their lips, as if they were immersed in a sweet dream.

The red lanterns in the middle of the night shine in the narrow alley, painting the surroundings with a thick layer of blood, revealing a depressive and ominous look!

When they passed by, Luo Guan stepped out of the shadows and understood why the woman had only heard the sound of the palace door opening and closing in Qiu Yun Zhai.

Looking at the red lantern going away, Luo Guan hesitated for a moment and then started to follow.

At this time, the top of the head was dim, the stars and moon were invisible, and the night wind blew by and it was extremely cold, penetrating through the flesh and blood and penetrating deep into the bone marrow! Luo Guan suddenly had the idea to go and find out. After turning a few times, he
