This place is deep in the mountains and remote, and the imperial court is beyond its reach. Someone manages thousands of desperadoes for the government and pays generous taxes and profits. Naturally, the local government is happy to turn a blind eye.
The Dark City belongs to the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace is the real owner and manager of the Dark City. Anyone who wants to settle and operate in the Dark City must obtain the permission of the Dragon Palace.
As long as no innocent people are harmed, the stability of the city is not endangered, and the court's limits are not violated, Dragon Palace will not interfere in the grievances of Jianghu people.
In such a place where people from all walks of life gather and mix, if someone deliberately hides, it is like water flowing into the sea, and it is difficult to find him or her.
But this is only for the outside world. For Dragon Palace, the owner of the dark city, it is easy to find people in this city. Everything in the city is in the hands of Dragon Palace.
After the urgent pursuit was sent out, an unprecedented search began secretly in the city. Eye spies were set up in alleys, taverns and inns, pharmacies, underground black markets, and roads out of the city...
The Dragon Palace has set up a dragnet in the dark city. Can the people it wants to arrest escape?
The Dragon King returns to the room
In the yard, the room is deserted
In the past, when he entered this courtyard, he could see her standing by the door, her head bowed and standing quietly.
As long as he is in this courtyard, she follows him like his shadow
He doesn't pay much attention to her on weekdays. Although her beauty and background are special, to him, she is still just a woman.
When she was locked up here weakly, maybe because she was in the palm of his hand, maybe because she had become a harmless patient, he didn't take her seriously.
Today, her breath still remains in this courtyard, but no one knows where it is.
He was already sure of victory in this war, but suddenly he discovered that he was actually part of the opponent's scheme. He was carelessly manipulated, and this game must be restored.
He paced the yard alone, just like her, until the beasts were startled and sent the search results to him.
All signs prove that her escape was premeditated
That night, she waited at the door of her room. When Qingqing passed by the door, she knocked him unconscious, dragged him to her room, put on Qingqing's cloak and left the room.
They were close in age, and their height and figure were somewhat similar. It was difficult to see clearly at night. In addition, her voice was muffled and her face was covered by a cloak. She easily fooled the fourteen-year-old girl and left the yard smoothly.
In the morning, while the sky was dimming, she hurried back to the city in a sedan chair. Her existence was originally a secret. Not many people in the palace knew about it, and Qingqing was just a brothel girl who didn't pay attention to anyone. No one suspected her along the way.
When she arrived in the city, she sent away the maid, and then sent the bearers away when they arrived at Hualiu Lane.
Hualiu Lane is located in a remote location, the sky is bright, and no one is present. Her whereabouts are unknown after that.
Hundreds of spies were searching everywhere in the city. There were many suspicious people, but they were not her.
The personnel stationed on the road out of the city also reported that no suspicious persons were found leaving the city.
There is only one open way out of the city. It is impossible for a woman to leave the city without leaving any clues. She must still be hiding in the city.
What a woman!
The Dragon King sneered in his heart. The Dragon Palace was heavily guarded, the structure was complex, and the personnel were well-trained. It was called impregnable and indestructible by the people in the world, but she was carried out of the gate in a sedan chair without any effort, without using a knife or bleeding.
Such a simple strategy, but so successful, is simply a mockery of Dragon Palace.
From the time she left the Dragon Palace to the Dragon Palace and started searching, in just two hours, she was actually hidden without a trace.
He didn't think she could escape the city, so he just played a cat and mouse game with her and the bunker.
He exclaimed to the beasts: "Continue the search."
He turned to Wei Bao and said: "You will also go to the city to search in the past few days. You don't have to follow me for the time being."
There was remorse and persistence on Wei Bao's face: "I beg my master to let my subordinates protect me. Now that the killer has escaped, I am afraid that my master is in danger."
"No one can threaten me"
Wei Bao gritted his teeth: "I obey my orders, and I will not give up until I catch that woman."
The Dragon King secretly thought that in terms of martial arts, Wei Bao was definitely above her now, but in terms of scheming, he might not be able to deal with her, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to let Wei Bao practice a bit.
That woman is just a cover, what’s behind her is the target
Dragon Palace's actions are very secretive, but there are still a group of mysterious figures in the dark city who noticed this change and secretly observed and stared at Dragon Palace's every move.
