The cold rain poured down, drenching the soft armor of the Jinghu Wei and the guards of the Prince's Mansion. They stood at the head of the table, looking at the tightly shut door in front of them with a gloomy expression. More than a hundred people stood there solemnly, but no one made a sound.
Pang Xiao stepped out of the crowd and went to knock on the door.
Not long after, he heard the same doorman from the day answer impatiently, "Who is it?! It's raining so heavily, who would come at this time?! "
Pang Xiao lowered his voice and said with a local accent, "It's me. Open the door, the boss is here."
Today, Pang Xiao had been chatting with the doorman. Now that he heard the voice of an acquaintance, the doorman was unguarded and immediately opened the door.
"Hey, why is the boss here at this time? Is it … "Before he finished speaking, he was completely stunned. The doorman stared blankly at the soldiers standing in front of the door. His words were stuck in his throat, and he took two steps back and sat on the ground," You, you … "
Huzi and the others silently swarmed in, and neatly knocked the doorman unconscious and placed him in the corridor to shelter from the rain.
They went in an orderly manner, and knocked out all the servants they saw and placed them in the corridor. Not long after, Pang Xiao led his men into the inner courtyard.
Almost as soon as the Jinghu Wei arrived, the person who had been hiding in the dark returned to Pang Xiao's side and reported in a low voice, "Wang Ye, three of the six people are drinking and chatting in the reception pavilion. The other three ate too much and went back to their rooms to sleep."
Pang Xiao nodded and ordered the Jinghu Wei to split into three groups to search for them in the bedrooms. He then led his men to kick open the door to the reception pavilion.
In the reception pavilion, Guan Dahu was drinking and chatting with his two brothers, bragging about the glorious deeds of the past. He even told the two of them about the thrilling scene in the desert. Facing their admiring gazes, Guan Dahu was extremely satisfied.
Unexpectedly, just as he was bragging, the door suddenly made a sound.
The three of them were shocked. Guan Dahu was even calmer. He put on airs and reprimanded without turning his head, "These servants are becoming more and more unruly."
Suddenly, Guan Dahu felt that something was wrong.
The two people sitting across from him were like chickens that had been strangled by their necks. Both of them were tongue-tied and their eyes were wide open, as if they had received a great shock or shock.
Guan Dahu turned around in confusion, and his pupils instantly shrank.
The cold tip of the sword was pointed at the tip of his nose, and large beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Who, who are you? You, how dare you, how dare you …" The words of questioning the other party for trespassing were stuck in his mouth.
This was because Guan Dahu had clearly seen everyone's attire.
These were clearly soldiers!
Pang Xiao sneered, "You're Guan Dahu?"
Guan Dahu's body trembled. He immediately knew that he was most likely doomed. The other party had named him and was clearly coming for him! Moreover, they were only a few small fish and shrimps, while the other party was a capable and valiant man!
Guan Dahu's voice trembled. His eyes stared at the tip of the sword, and his eyes became cross-eyed. Another drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"This one is, may I ask, honored one …"
Impatient to listen to Guan Dahu speak, Pang Xiao directly introduced himself, "Pang Zhixi."
Guan Dahu was so scared that his entire body trembled. He said in a trembling voice, "So, so it's Prince Zhongshun. If you have any orders, just say it. This one will definitely tell you everything I know. "
Pang Xiao shook his head, and the sharp tip of the sword swayed with his movements, "It's not an order. A scum like you is not worthy to listen to This King's orders. This King doesn't need you to do anything today, and doesn't want to hear anything from you. "
When Guan Dahu heard this, his heart turned cold.
Wang Ye brought so many people here as if he was raiding his house, but he didn't ask for anything. Then wouldn't he die without a doubt?
"Wang Ye, Wang Ye!"
Guan Dahu knelt down in a panic and stared at the tip of the sword. He trembled as he begged for mercy, "Wang Ye, spare this one's life. Wang Ye, this one, this one knows the secret of the Dayan Dynasty's treasure. As long as you spare this one's life, this one will definitely take you to find the treasure!"
"Yes, Wang Ye, spare my life. Wang Ye, we can also tell you the whereabouts of the treasure. Please spare our lives!" The other two people also knelt down and kowtowed.
Pang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "No need. This King doesn't care about the treasure."
Guan Dahu thought about it and immediately understood. He knew that Qin Yining's position in Pang Xiao's heart was not simple. They were all "traitors" who betrayed Qin Yining and the Qingtian Alliance. Could it be that Wang Ye was here to help the wangfei clean up the traitors?
Thinking of this, Guan Dahu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wang Ye, this one is loyal and devoted to the wangfei. As long as the wangfei says the word, this one will go to the heavens if she wants this one to. This one will go to the ground if she wants this one to."
Pang Xiao sneered and the tip of the sword gradually entered Guan Dahu's mouth.
Guan Dahu pulled his neck back to hide, but Pang Xiao did not plan on letting him go. The tip of the sword moved, and Guan Dahu screamed as blood flowed out of his mouth.
"Since you can't speak, then don't ask for your tongue."
Guan Dahu was paralyzed on the ground in pain. Cold sweat quickly soaked his clothes.
The two people behind him were already scared silly. They kowtowed again and again, "Spare our lives, Wang Ye, spare our lives!"
Pang Xiao mercilessly cut off their tongues as well.
The room was filled with the smell of blood. If an ordinary person were to see such a scene, they would probably think that they had entered the hell of having their tongues pulled out. However, the people around Pang Xiao were all veterans. They had shed blood on the battlefield. They had seen crueler things on the battlefield. So, this was just a small wound for them.
Pang Xiao stood where he was. He looked coldly at the three people who were grunting in pain.
A short while later, Jinghu Wei came out with three more people.
Liu Ban and the others were thrown to the ground. When they saw Guan Dahu's miserable state, they were scared out of their wits. They could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
Pang Xiao did not treat them differently.
The six people here all had their tongues cut off first. They were left bleeding and feeling the fear of death before they were finished off with one blow.
Pang Xiao ordered Huzi to take care of the corpses and restore the residence to its original state before leaving.
After leaving the courtyard, Pang Xiao said to the Elite Tiger Guards and the Protectors of the Prince's Mansion who were guarding outside, "These people must have accomplices hiding nearby. Put the entire city under martial law and search for suspicious people."
"Yes!"

Ji Yun changed into dry clothes. She sat opposite Qin Yining and sighed.
"Wangfei, I was late. When I arrived, Wang Ye's people had already surrounded the residence. And Wang Ye didn't seem to be only targeting that residence. Wang Ye's people were searching the streets. When I came back, I used a lot of effort to avoid Wang Ye's people.
”
Qin Yining brought the prepared ginger soup to Ji Yun. He nodded and said, "I know. Eat it while it's hot. It can drive away the cold. "
Ji Yun thanked him with a smile. She held the ginger soup and gulped it down. Then she said, "Wangfei, what should we do now?"
Qin Yining slowly shook his head, "Wang Ye insisted on doing this. We don't have any useful people around us. The silver-masked spies have all gone to Xiyue. I only feel that we are lacking in manpower now."
She never thought that she and Pang Xiao would have different opinions. In the past, she would directly order Tang Xiu to do whatever she wanted.
"Now that things have come to this, there is no other way. We can only hope that Wang Ye won't let any fish escape the net after searching the entire city. If there is, I'm afraid that the secret of the treasure will be exposed. " Qin Yining rubbed his forehead tiredly. She had planned for so long and done so much in order to obtain the treasure for Pang Xiao by hook or by crook. But who would have thought that things would develop like this?
She couldn't blame Pang Xiao. She just felt helpless.
The three of them sat in front of the lamp for a moment. Ji Yun returned Qiu Feishan's maple leaf-shaped jade tablet to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining took the jade tablet and played with it for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "I pretended to be Boss Qiu and joined the Qingtian Alliance."
"Yes. Wangfei, what's wrong? "
"So, if there really are fish that escaped the net, when they are hunted by the entire city, if they have nowhere to go, where will they go for help?"
Ji Yun and Bing Tang's eyes lit up.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's too late today. Wang Ye will be back soon. Tomorrow, Ji Yun will find time to go to Sitong Shop and tell Shopkeeper Yin."
Qin Yining leaned close to Ji Yun and whispered a few words in her ear. Ji Yun immediately smiled and said, "Wangfei is still the most meticulous. This is a good idea. I will go tomorrow."
Qin Yining asked Bing Tang and Ji Yun to prepare a warm quilt for her. Then, she changed her clothes and lay down first.
She kept her eyes open and waited for Pang Xiao. Who would have thought that he still hadn't come back in the middle of the night. She couldn't hold on and unknowingly fell asleep.
In a daze, she seemed to feel that the bed beside her had collapsed.
Qin Yining turned over and pushed the quilt to the other side. He didn't even open his eyes and said, "Why did you come back so late?"
Pang Xiao was originally careful not to wake Qin Yining. Who would have thought that as soon as he lay down, Qin Yining would give him the quilt and take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
Today, he didn't listen to her advice and went to hunt down the traitors of the Qingtian Alliance. He was already mentally prepared for Qin Yining to be angry at him and not allow him to go back to his room to sleep. He didn't expect his Sister Yi to be so gentle and soft as she leaned against him.
"Be good, go to sleep." Pang Xiao turned over and wrapped her in his arms. He planted a kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
He came back safely. Qin Yining was finally relieved and fell asleep without any haze.
Early the next morning.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao finished washing up and ate breakfast together.
"Zhixi, I need to make a trip to Sitong Restaurant today."
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "How are you going? Are you going just like this? Or are you going after a while? "
"Of course I'm going after a while." Qin Yining tilted his head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Pang Xiao shook his head and said, "You're not allowed."
"You're not allowed?" Qin Yining's almond-shaped eyes widened.
Pang Xiao said, "Be good and stay at home. Before I can thoroughly investigate the traitors of the Qingtian Alliance, you're not allowed to go anywhere. You're not allowed to go out either."
