After arranging for his disciples to retreat from Xuanyuan Kingdom, Jiang Shuiyue planned to return to Ghost Valley.
Along the way, I felt that the doubts in my heart were getting bigger and bigger.
Because everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that people felt it was unusual.
Xuanyuan Leng has never been such an easy person to deal with. How could he be able to rescue people so easily and move them out of Xuanyuan Kingdom so easily?
And he didn't take any other big actions?
Is there any conspiracy in this?
Although he hated Xuanyuan Leng, he had to praise him for his intelligence and intelligence.
The more this happened, the more uneasiness spread in him.
But unfortunately, I can't think of anything wrong.
Looking back, he also checked along the way and found that no one was following him at all!
What is going on?
No, he has to go back to Xuanyuan Kingdom's palace to check on Xuanyuan Leng's situation, so that he can feel at ease.
So halfway through the journey, he returned to the capital.
…………
The night is deep and dense.
The knife-like moon hangs in the sky.
All around, stars twinkled and blinked.
But he didn't have the heart to watch these.
The snow started to fall again, and there were a lot of snowflakes on the long black silk. His hand gently slid over, sweeping away the snowflakes on his body, and turned over.
Leap into the Golden Dragon Palace.
The hall was filled with light, and eight lamp plates filled with luminous pearls were placed among the four pillars, illuminating the entire hall. Under the luminous pearls, each had an incense burner. At this time, there was a faint scent of ambergris surrounding the entire hall.
The aroma is very light and very pleasant...
There was silence in the palace. Jiang Shuiyue looked around in the dark, but saw only two palace ladies holding lanterns kneeling at the door of the inner room, while Xuanyuan Leng seemed not to be in the palace at all.
He suddenly rushed over quickly, with both hands, he touched the acupuncture points of the two palace ladies.
The two palace maids turned pale with fright and looked at him in horror, but they could not make a sound.
Jiang Shuiyue said coldly: "You should be honest about what I am asking. If there is even half a lie, you should understand the consequences."
After that, he opened the mute point of one of the palace ladies and asked: "Where is the emperor?"
The palace maid looked around in horror, and when she saw no one was coming, she said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is not in the palace."
"Where did he go?" Jiang Shuiyue asked.
The palace maid bit her lower lip, with extremely frightened eyes: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." She squeaked, but did not dare to say it, as if she was afraid that speaking out would lead to death.
Jiang Shuiyue drew the long sword in her hand, and the sword energy flashed across the face of the palace maid. The palace maid was so frightened that she froze. If she dared to hold on any longer, she hurriedly shouted: "I said... I said,
It is said that the Sixth Prince failed to lock up the prisoners and allowed them to escape. The Emperor was furious and went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion in person to question the crime. It seems that the Emperor wanted to catch the prisoners himself..."
"Really?" Jiang Shuiyue felt a little strange. Why did this palace maid know Xuanyuan Leng's whereabouts so well? It seems that a little palace lady holding a lantern should not know so much.
So he asked again, just to hear whether the palace maid was lying.
The palace maid swallowed her saliva and said with a trembling voice: "I really don't know. I just heard what the emperor said when he was angry with the official who came to report. My hero, my hero, please let me go."
...A slave is just a little palace maid, how can she know the emperor's affairs..."
It must have been like this when Jiang Shuiyue let go.
The sword in his hand twitched, and he was about to withdraw it, but the palace maid suddenly became frightened: "Please, hero, please don't kill me..."
However, Jiang Shuiyue's face condensed: "I won't kill you, don't worry!" After saying that, he touched his hand and stabbed a silver needle into the palace maid's head.
He didn't mean to hurt her, he just wanted to erase her recent memory.
He turned around again and stabbed the palace maid with a long needle.
Then, with his hand, he opened their acupuncture points.
It seems that Xuanyuan Leng doesn't have any other conspiracy, but even if there is, he is not afraid.
It is extremely difficult for anyone to keep up with him.
He turned around, no longer hesitated, and headed towards the Ghost Valley.
What he held in his hand was the jade hairpin he bought for Luo Xue. He knew that she liked simple and elegant things, not fancy things, so he went to the jade dealer yesterday and specially selected this white jade plum blossom hairpin.
The snow-white warm jade is slightly transparent, round and smooth, and the hairpin head is carefully carved by the carver's skillful hands. What is carved is a bunch of leaning white plums, one blooming brilliantly, and the other inside is in bud.
Imagine how beautiful such a jade hairpin would be on her black hair.
In black and white, she is even called as gentle as jade.
He thought she would like it.
Thinking of her, the smile on the corner of my mouth filled the whole winter.
In his hurry, he didn't think much about anything else and also ignored one detail.
The ambergris on his body did not dissipate for a long time after he ran away from the palace, and the smell continued to exude a beautiful fragrance.
And the aroma seems to be mixed with other faint aromas, faintly scattered in the air, but it seems to be condensed and not dispersed.
He flew away with Qinggong at an extremely fast speed. In less than half a day, he had reached the edge of the cliff. He looked at the big rock in the cliff and smiled warmly.
With his white clothes flowing, he jumped down like a fairy.
Jumped on the big rock.
Then he flicked the silver wire in his hand and nailed it to the cliff. He turned over and flew into the cave.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he looked at Luoxue's small hut, and saw that the woman who usually always sat in front of the door was not sitting outside the house today.
There, only butterflies are flying.
She must be sorting out information.
He smiled and walked towards the information room.
I opened the door, but there were people there, but there was no one there. Even the sword slave and the other ten intelligence organizers were gone. Where did they all go?
These ten intelligence organizers have always been very stubborn and never left the intelligence room. How could they disappear now?
Could it be that something happened?
His face changed drastically.
He turned around quickly and walked out, but when he looked around, there was no sign of a fight at all.
Where did they go?
He leaned down gently, put his ear to the ground, and listened carefully. This place was in the valley, and the echo was huge. As long as they were still in the valley, he could hear even the slightest sound with his strong ears.
But I heard bursts of footsteps echoing in my ears, which seemed light and vigorous, one after another, as if there was a rhythm. It felt like people were dancing.
My heart finally relaxed a little. It seemed that they should have gone to that place in the valley.
He listened carefully again, and then looked to the southeast, where they were. He stepped quickly and ran towards that direction.
