"Report, a secret passage was found in a house in the courtyard behind!"
Hearing the report, Guan Fangyi, who could not speak, felt her heart tighten. Her heart was in her throat.
"Secret passage?" Consort Yuan's tone changed slightly. She turned back to look at Guan Fangyi, then walked forward, "Lead the way, let's go take a look."
The person who reported immediately led the way, and at the same time, a few people followed Consort Yuan.
When the group arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, someone released the Moon Butterfly to illuminate the way, and one after another entered the secret passage. Another person quickly dashed forward to open the way.
After meeting up with the person who came before, the group had already appeared in another room with an exit.
Consort Yuan walked out of the room and found that they were still in the courtyard of the thatched cottage. There was also a group of people searching here.
This was also expected, the length of the secret passage was not long. Consort Yuan suddenly said, "Ask, who are the people living in the rooms at the end of the secret passage."
"Yes!" Someone immediately received the order and left.
Not long after, he quickly returned to report, "I asked, it is the residence of Qi Capital Hong Niang and Cloud Crossing Mountain Yun Ji."
"Them?" Consort Yuan paused, then suddenly turned around and returned to the house, returning to the entrance of the secret passage to keep an eye on it. "It is such a short distance, it is only a few steps from the door. What do these two women have that they cannot see the light of day, why would they deliberately dig a tunnel? Go in, call a few more people to go in and check this tunnel again. Check it carefully. "
"Yes!" Someone immediately received the order and went into the secret passage again.
Just as she said, the distance of the tunnel was not long. More than a dozen people went in at once to carefully search, and soon there was a result.
Once the result was out, someone immediately ran out of the secret passage and reported, "Report! We found a large number of connected secret rooms in the tunnel. "
There was indeed a reason! Consort Yuan did not say anything else, and went into the tunnel again. In the middle of the tunnel, there was a flipped wall, which was another secret entrance.
After entering, there was a straight passage inside, and there were a few rooms on the left and right of the passage. There were some furniture in the rooms, and the people who arrived first were rummaging through the cabinets and cabinets.
The secret room where Niu Youdao was in was obviously the center of the entire underground. From the furnishings, it could be seen that Consort Yuan stood here and looked around.
The results of the search were soon out. No one was found, nor were there any other secret rooms or passageways. There were only five rooms, and from the clothes left behind, there seemed to be signs of two men and three women living in them.
Consort Yuan said indifferently, "Bring that Qi Capital's matchmaker here."
Immediately, someone received the order and hurriedly ran to the front yard, bringing Guan Fangyi over.
Guan Fangyi, on the other hand, had calmed down. After such a long time, there were no sounds of fighting. It was impossible for Daoye and the others to wait for death.
After entering the secret chamber and seeing the situation inside, especially when she saw that one of the maps on the wall had disappeared, she became more and more aware of what had happened. They had run away. Daoye and the others had already run away.
He heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Daoye was indeed Daoye. In a situation where no one informed him, he could actually slip away without being noticed.
Consort Yuan released her mute acupoint. "What's going on with these secret chambers? Explain it to me."
Guan Fangyi: "This is a place to discuss secret matters."
Consort Yuan: "Who would come here to discuss?"
Guan Fangyi: "Not necessarily, it depends on the matter. Who in the world doesn't have some secrets to discuss … Who are you people? As far as I know, the Misty Pavilion would not easily interfere with the matters of other places. "
Consort Yuan ignored her, "Whatever I ask, you better answer honestly, or else you will be making things difficult for yourself. Where is that snake demon from Crossing Clouds Mountain? Why is her room empty? "
Guan Fangyi was silent, secretly observing the situation inside the secret chamber. She was careful in her heart and replied, "Went to Crossing Clouds Mountain."
Consort Yuan: "When did you leave, and when did you return?"
Guan Fangyi: "Just left today, the date of return is uncertain, it depends on the situation at Crossing Clouds Mountain …"
No matter how many questions were asked, she was able to answer them appropriately. After that, she gradually noticed something. These people didn't seem to be here for anything, because the other party didn't seem to be deliberately targeting them. Looking at the results of the search, it didn't seem like they knew anything and came specifically for Daoye and the others.
This made her feel even more strange. If they didn't come for anything, why would they come to search?
After that, she saw the side door of Thatched Cottage open wide, a horse carriage came in, and a seemingly amiable and cheerful fat man got off the carriage.
Everyone from the Misty Pavilion was very respectful when they saw this fat man, even showing some fear.
The group of Misty Pavilion members all called the fat man 'Mister', and the woman wearing the gauze hat called 'Aunt'.
After that, someone brought the shopkeeper of the Bank of the World from South State Prefecture City to see Guan Fangyi. The main purpose was to tell Guan Fangyi that there was no need to doubt the identity of the guests, they were indeed people from the Misty Pavilion, and for Guan Fangyi's side to cooperate fully …
In the mountains outside the city, Yuan Gang was on guard at the nearby mountain top, while Yun Ji left to handle some matters.
Looking at the mountain top where Yuan Gang was hiding, Niu Youdao turned to look at Lv Wushuang who was sitting on a rock by the stream, and suddenly asked, "Is he used to being with the monkey?"
Lv Wushuang stared at the stream without turning back, "Do you think he can get used to it? I ran to report to him, but before I could open my mouth, he mercilessly grabbed my neck and dragged me in front of you. I can guarantee that if I dared to call out to him, he would have snapped my neck without any hesitation. "
Niu Youdao said, "He can't show himself in the courtyard now. When he could show himself before, the entire courtyard, except for me, including Hong Niang and Yun Ji, were under his surveillance. It has nothing to do with trust, and it's not that he likes to suspect people, but as long as it's within his responsibility, he will do his best. "
Lv Wushuang turned back, "There's no need to explain anything, I can understand. It's normal for him not to trust me. It's just that when he suddenly did that, I somehow lost control of my emotions. Did I let you see a joke? "
Niu Youdao smiled, "It's a good thing. At least for a moment, you didn't look like the Peerless Saint Venerable, but more like a woman with flesh and blood."
Outside the mountain, a figure landed beside the two of them, it was Yun Ji.
Niu Youdao immediately turned around and asked, "How was the investigation in the city?"
Yun Ji said, "We passed through the gate, the guards were our people, there didn't seem to be anything unusual, but there were people wandering around the gate, not our people."
"Outsiders? Looks like something did happen. There was nothing unusual with our people guarding the gate, but there were outsiders inside? "Niu Youdao frowned, a little confused, and muttered to himself," What happened? "
Lv Wushuang suddenly said, "Are there any signs of fighting?"
Yun Ji said, "I don't think so."
Lv Wushuang said, "When we left, there didn't seem to be any fighting. If someone really broke in, who could prevent Hong Niang from calling the police, and also make the entire courtyard so quiet? With so many people guarding the courtyard, it's impossible for someone to break in in broad daylight without being noticed, and it's unlikely that someone could control so many people at the same time. "
Niu Youdao frowned, "You suspect that it's someone from the Misty Pavilion?"
Lv Wushuang nodded slightly.
There was a moment of silence.
Yun Ji said, "We left in a hurry, and we didn't bring the golden wing who was responsible for secret communication out in time. Do you want me to sneak in and take a look? Or I can go to the Prince's Mansion to see the situation. "
Niu Youdao said, "Now is not the time for you to be bold. If you don't understand the situation, you won't know the distribution of people on the ground, and your mana fluctuation near the ground will be easily discovered. There's no harm in being cautious. How about this, you go into the city in disguise and find Niu Shan in the Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire. He is now in charge of the city defense. Ask him to find an excuse to report the situation to the Prince's Mansion and see if there's anything unusual in the Prince's Mansion. If there's nothing, ask Niu Shan to help you contact Lan Ruoting, and ask Lan Ruoting to find an excuse to go to the courtyard to see what's going on. "
"Remember, if there's a situation, try to take Yin 'er away when you're sure it's safe. At this time, Yin 'er and the Princess should be at the school, don't forget to remind the Princess. As long as we eliminate Yin 'er as a dangerous factor, the situation will not worsen for the time being, and the others should not be in danger. As long as they're here for us, they won't kill Hong Niang and the others for the time being. This will give us time to understand the situation and rescue them. "
"Alright!" Yun Ji nodded and left quickly. It was convenient for her to enter and leave the city.
…
In the courtyard of the thatched cottage, in the kitchen of the South Mountain Temple, a group of monks were busy cooking. Yuan Fang, who was supervising them at the side, glanced outside the door from time to time.
He was a little puzzled, not knowing why the people from the Misty Pavilion suddenly came here. It wasn't even mealtime, and they actually asked them to cook the table, what the hell were they doing?
In the main hall of Mount Five Liang, there was no one else, only Consort Yuan and Gongsun Bu.
Although they said they were going to question them one by one, Gongsun Bu didn't know what they wanted to ask. The other party was wearing a veil, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
"You're the sect leader of Mount Five Liang, what's your name again?" Consort Yuan suddenly asked.
Gongsun Bu said respectfully, "Gongsun Bu."
Consort Yuan, "I don't remember your name, but I remember your identity. Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
Gongsun Bu, "I don't know."
Consort Yuan, "Is there a need to feign ignorance in front of me? Let me remind you, you should know by now that I'm from the Misty Pavilion. "
Gongsun Bu's emotions fluctuated, and he tried to reply, "Please explain."
Consort Yuan, "Explain? You're from the Misty Pavilion, do I still need to explain things so clearly? "She walked in front of him," You should be familiar with the people and things in the thatched cottage. From now on, remember, use your identity to pay attention to everything in the thatched cottage. If you find anything out of the ordinary, report to me immediately! "
…
In front of the door of the thatched cottage, Lan Ruoting climbed into the carriage. After the carriage started moving, he whispered to the disguised Yun Ji, "Something's not right, the guards at the door won't let me in. What happened?"
Yun Ji followed Niu Youdao's instructions and contacted Niu Shan, but Lan Ruoting wasn't in the Prince's Mansion. He had gone to the office below to deal with some official business, and it took a lot of effort to contact him. After meeting up with Yun Ji, Lan Ruoting didn't waste any time and immediately rushed to the thatched cottage. Who knew that he would be blocked, and not even allowed to enter the door.
Yun Ji didn't say what happened, and whispered, "Can I trouble Mister to return to the Prince's Mansion again? If there's nothing out of the ordinary, use this carriage to send the princess and Yiner out."
Lan Ruoting nodded, but in his heart, he realized that something must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to enter the thatched cottage, and this person wouldn't have been afraid to return to the thatched cottage. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
Little did he know that because of the delay in finding Lan Ruoting, the students at the academy had already been dismissed. Shang Shuqing was holding Yiner's hand as they walked to the back door of the thatched cottage.
