An San didn't understand, "Since Young Master Qingchen is not in the Imperial Palace, why would the message come from the Imperial Palace? Why would the perfume that Young Master Qingchen carries with him be in the Imperial Palace? "
"Naturally, it is because the other party may be someone from the Imperial Palace. Even if they are not, they are people who can freely enter and leave the Imperial Palace."
Han Mingxi lazily shook his head, "That's not right … … Junwei. In Nanzhao, other than the Crown Princess, no one can freely enter and leave the Imperial Palace. This includes the other princesses. Of course, even this princess is not in Nanzhao right now. "Ye Li glanced at him," It is not difficult in the open, but not in the dark? "
"In the dark?" The two asked in unison.
Ye Li frowned and asked, "Have you found the traces of those assassins?"
An San nodded, "We found them, but we were a step too late. They were killed on a small mound two li outside the city. Their bodies were left in an abandoned cave."
"Speak carefully."
"When we were looking for their bodies, we found them in a secluded cave ten miles west of the city. But there were no signs of fighting at the scene. Although that place was not far from the capital, the road was very difficult to walk on and there was nothing around. Even if those assassins were running for their lives, they should not have forgotten that direction. But fortunately, the hidden weapon that injured them had a tracking medicinal scent. It took an entire night to find them. They should have been killed not long after they left the city. Then the bodies were thrown into that cave. "
Ye Li rubbed her brows and asked thoughtfully, "In which direction were they killed?"
"East."
"In other words, they originally wanted to go east, but after they were killed, the mastermind threw the bodies to the west? What is there in the east? "Ye Li stood," Give me the map of Nanzhao's capital. "
An San lowered her head and took out a thin piece of paper from her chest and carefully spread it on the table. Han Mingxi looked over and pursed his lips, "The entire map of Nanzhao's capital? Junwei, you didn't need to go to the Tianyi Pavilion to gather information, did you? "Ye Li smiled and said," The more information we have, the safer we will be. I have always cherished my life. Besides … I don't believe that the Tianyi Pavilion can't come up with this map. "This was not a defensive map, but an ordinary map of the layout of a city. He took out a charcoal pencil and circled the Imperial Palace on the map. He went to Princess Anxi's Mansion, the place where Xu Qingchen went missing, the place where her body was dumped, and the place where she was killed. He looked up and asked, "How do you feel?"
Han Mingxi pointed at the drawing and said, "If you don't look at the location of the corpse and the princess's residence, these locations seem to be very close to the Saint Lady Temple. Speaking of which … if I hadn't seen this picture, I wouldn't have known that the Saint Lady Temple was so close to the palace. "The Saint Lady Temple was located on a mountain five miles east of the capital. But if you count the distance from the palace and the journey up the mountain. It would take at least ten miles to get to the Saint Lady Temple. Ye Li pointed and lowered her head. "Ordinary people only think that the road from the Imperial Palace to the Saint Lady Temple is not close. Moreover, the Imperial Palace is built on a mountain. The mountain behind the Imperial Palace is steep and dangerous. It is difficult to get to the Saint Lady Temple from the mountain, and it will take more time than leaving the city directly. So basically, no one has paid attention to it. In fact, the distance between the Imperial Palace and the Saint Lady Temple is less than two miles. "
"Tunnel?" An San asked.
"Haven't we seen the ability of the people of Nanjiang to dig tunnels on our way here?" Ye Li asked with a smile. The two of them thought of the almost hollowed out mountain at the same time and fell silent.
"What did the King of Nanzhao, who founded the country, think? Why did he still build the Imperial Palace? "Han Mingxi asked in confusion. In the history of the Central Plains, only temporary palaces or side palaces would be built on mountains. The real imperial palaces were all located in the center of the capital city. It not only showed the nobility of the royal family, but also showed the majesty of the people. Ye Li replied without much seriousness, "The customs are different."
Han Mingxi could tell at a glance that she was just being perfunctory. He glared at Ye Li unhappily for a long time and found that the other party was still immersed in her own thoughts. Han Mingxi's face suddenly darkened. After coughing twice to attract the attention of the two people in the side room, Han Mingxi smiled and said, "You suspect that Young Master Qingchen is in the Saint Lady Temple? As everyone knows, the Saint Lady of Nanjiang is as pure as ice and as pure as jade. The Saint Lady Temple does not allow men to enter, let alone harbor men. If people know that you think so, believe me … you will be drowned by the anger of the people of Nanzhao. "Ye Li said indifferently," Is it because everyone knows that it is more likely? "
Han Mingxi rolled his eyes. "Then how can Young Master Junwei enter the Saint Lady Temple, which is as guarded as the Imperial Palace and find Young Master Qingchen who is hidden somewhere? If we can't find him and you are found, we will really be killed by the people of Nanzhao. "
"I don't plan to enter through the Saint Lady Temple," Ye Li said.
Han Mingxi's face was full of shock and admiration. "So Young Master Junwei plans to brave the Nanzhao Imperial Palace? Brother Junwei, even if the Nanzhao Imperial Palace is not even a third of the size of our Chu capital, can you not look down on them? Don't forget … there are no poisonous snakes in our Chu capital's Imperial Palace, but Nanzhao might not. "Ye Li smiled faintly." You speak as if Young Master Feng Yue has never been to the Imperial Palace. Who was it that bragged a few days ago that someone had visited the Imperial Palaces of various countries? " Han Mingxi was speechless. For some reason, she began to silently regret bragging about her past romantic history to Jun Wei when she was bored during the journey.
"Even if you go in and find Young Master Qingchen, how will you bring him out?" Han Mingxi asked. "As far as I know, Young Master Qingchen does not know martial arts at all."
Ye Li frowned and said, "This, I have to think about it carefully." They definitely couldn't force their way in. Even if the Shadow Guard was strong enough to snatch someone from the Nanzhao Imperial Palace, it would be troublesome to deal with the aftermath. If outsiders knew that the people who made the move were from the Ding Imperial Palace, it would be even more troublesome. Seeing her frown in deep thought, Han Mingxi smiled cheerfully and said, "How is it? Do you need help? "
Ye Li looked at Han Mingxi and shook her head. She and Han Mingxi were only partners. Last time, Han Mingxi had taken many risks with her. This time, no matter what, she couldn't drag him into the danger.
Han Mingxi looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. In any case, the Tianyi Pavilion is a business. As long as Jun Wei can afford it, we can do more than just collect information. "Ye Li's heart was moved. She looked at Han Mingxi and asked," What does Brother Han want? "Han Mingxi smiled proudly and said," Aromatic Elegance Pavilion, I want 20% more. "Ye Li said," I thought the Tianyi Pavilion liked real money? You should know that no matter how much it is, whether it's the Xu family or me, we will give it to you. " Han Mingxi looked at her with grievance and said, "Jun Wei and I are friends. How can friends take advantage of others' difficulties?"
Friends? Ye Li faintly raised her eyebrows and said, "The Tianyi Pavilion is not good at these things. I don't want to trouble Brother Han."
"Jun Wei, you are too polite." Han Mingxi smiled and said, "Although the Tianyi Pavilion is not good at these things, we are very familiar with the Nanzhao Imperial City. Compared to our friendship, don't you think the Tianyi Pavilion is more trustworthy? "Ye Li frowned and pondered for a while before saying," Then I'll have to trouble Brother Han. After this, I will be responsible for the Tianyi Pavilion's losses. Of course, the Fragrant Elegance Pavilion's 20% share will remain the same. "
