Chapter 14

In the remote and dark Qingxin Hall, the air seemed to have condensed, which was so suppressed that people couldn't breathe. I crawled on the ground and peeked at the complete face on the high level. I saw that he had lost the calmness and spirit of the lord of a country. His face was blue, and his eyes flashed with a frightening fierce light. When he looked at me, there was more unconcealed anger and murder in his eyes. Insent.

A beautiful landscape painting is painted on the screen behind him. One person rides a high-headed horse and stands proudly on the top of the highest peak. There is a cursive poem inscribed in the blank of the painting, which is actually written in Chinese. The book: Ten thousand miles of cars and books are all mixed. How can there be any other border seal in the south of the Yangtze River? With millions of soldiers on the West Lake, immediately the first peak of Wushan!

The entry is the three big characters of flying and domineering -- Wanyan Liang.

I was sighing about the madness of poetry, but I heard Wan Yanyan shout loudly at the high level: "Who are you? Why did you abduct my dancer? Don't tell a lie, or I will make you regret being born in this world.

I only know from his expression that as long as he finds a lie, it will really make me regret coming to this world. But what about being honest? Will you let me go with him? Instead, I relaxed when I figured this out, and said half-truly and half-falsely, "Your dancer? Daisy was originally Tony's lover. Because of an accident, she was robbed as a female slave by Ren Dejing, the old bastard of the king of Chu in Western Xia and dedicated thousands of miles to your majesty. Tony and I took the risk to rescue Zhongdu. Now that the plan has been exposed, we don't take a chance and give me a pleasure.

"Is it that simple?"

"Isn't it that simple?" I spread out my hands and looked innocent. I don't want to have any chance to say this, but just try to extricate Daisy's responsibility. As for whether she wants to die or live, it's up to her to decide. I can't pull her back.

Wanyanliang looked at Daisy in a blink of an eye and did not hide his coveted her beauty, but at a glance, he resolutely withdrew his eyes and resolutely waved to me and said, "Okay! I'll let you go, including Tony.

At first, I thought I had heard it wrong. I was stunned for a long time before I smiled, "Your Majesty really thought I was an idiot and wanted me to tell you about Tony's whereabouts so that you could catch it all?"

Wanyan Liang was originally suppressing his anger, but after listening to my words, he laughed wildly, raised his hand and pointed around and said proudly, "It's easy for me to find a stranger in this palace, and I don't need your advice at all."

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered Zong Tuo beside me: "The whole imperial city immediately showed strict vigilance, searched for the place where the assassin might hide, and pulled out the white pig for me within an hour, but remember that you can't hurt him under any circumstances. Tell him that his love is in my hands, which is in this pure heart hall."

Zong Tuo took the order and left. After a moment, the sound of golden drums sounded in several places in the imperial city, and a neat pace could be faintly heard mixed with the sound of drums and gongs, echoed everywhere, and the search that affected the whole imperial city began. In just half an hour, Zong Tuo flew in and reported, "I found the spy and trapped him in Xianxi Palace."

"Good!" Wanyan Liang waved to Zong Tuo and said, "Rel all three of them out of the palace. You can do it yourself."

Zong Tuo was stunned and asked with doubts: "What the emperor means"

"Let them leave the imperial city safely, and the imperial army outside the imperial city will not be stopped! Get rid of them!" In addition to the inexplicable anger in Wanyan Liang's words, there was also helplessness and unwillingness.

"Weichen obeys the order!" Zong Tuo's face was full of surprise and displeacity, but he didn't dare to ask more, and his horse's face turned red. Hementedly motioned the guards to set me up with Daisy and retreat to Wanyan Liang.

We were first taken to Xianxi Palace to meet Tony. Tony was surrounded by hundreds of guards and was bathed in blood and was very embarrassed. Suddenly, he saw me and Daisy. Tony suddenly looked miserable and obviously regretted his own plans. Before we could talk, we were set up a heavy palace all the way by Zong Tuo until he was bombarded. At the gate of the imperial city, we still can't believe that this will be true. We have been speculating in our hearts what other poisonous means Wanyan Liang is waiting for us.

The sun was shining outside the imperial city, and my eyes were dizzy by the bright sun. When I looked back, the thick palace gate behind me slammed shut, and the two soldiers standing guard at the door drove us away with spears: "Get out! If you don't see what this place is, how can you let the miscellaneous people stay? If you don't get out of here, I'll take you to prison and ask a crime against the emperor!"

Tony Daisy and I looked at each other in consternation. Just now, everyone struggled their brains to get out of the palace. They didn't want to fail, but they were kicked out like this when they were desperate. The instant change was so unexpected that they couldn't believe that they were standing outside the imperial city now. After a moment of being stunned, the three people ran away and finally stopped in a secluded alley. Tony didn't have time to say goodbye to Daisy and asked me first, "Do you think Wanyan Liang let us go like this?"

I tilted my head and thought about it. It was difficult to find even a little reason for Wanyan Liang to let us go. I had to shake my head and say, "I don't know. Although I really want to say that Wanyan Liang was crazy for a while, anyone can see from Wanyan Liang's expression that he knows what he is doing, and he is very angry and unwilling, but helpless. What."

"Is there anyone else who can make Wan Yanliang do what he doesn't want to do?" Tony muttered to himself.

"Who knows?" I shrugged my shoulders and didn't want to be brainstorming about this problem anymore. I just said, "Anyway, we have finally come out of the palace. Now it's safe to leave the capital as soon as possible. Maybe Wanyan Liang has begun to repent now."

"Have you been looking for me?" When she came out of the palace, Daisy finally said a complete sentence. Before she finished speaking, her eyes, which were more and more beautiful because of thinness, were full of tears.

"Don't!" I quickly turned around. I don't want to have too much friendship with Daisy, which will affect my future actions. He pointed to Tony and said, "It's him. If you want to be grateful, thank him."

"You are all my benefactors, please be worshipped by the little girl!" Daisy said and fell down, and was immediately picked up by Tony. He took Daisy's hands, stared at her eyes affectionately and said softly, "From the first time I saw you, protecting your safety has been a duty that I can't give up in my life."

Daisley raised her head, met Tony's hot eyes without shame, and asked softly, "Is it just a duty?"

I saw that there was no one beside them, so I had to sneak away. Fortunately, this is a secluded alley, and it is rare to see a passer-by in broad daylight, otherwise they would be shocking.

Seeing my humble words, the doctor calmed down and waved to me: "Brace him in quickly."

With the help of the doctor, I calmed down a little. After sending Qi Danyun into the doctor's ward, I quietly retreated and rubbed my hands and paced back and forth anxiously outside the ward, waiting for the results of the doctor's treatment. I don't know how long it took before the doctor finally wiped the blood on his hand. I hurried to meet him, and my eyes were full of inquiry, but I didn't dare to really ask.

"Fortunately, you sent it in time. Don't worry, she's not a big deal," the doctor looked tired and wiped his hand and said, "Although that knife was very deep, fortunately it didn't hurt the key. It's just that she has lost too much blood and needs to rest for a while.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" I breathed a long breath and gave the doctor a warm hug gratefully, which stunned him. After breaking free from my hug, his face showed an ambiguous look and pointed to the ward before whispering, "You know? The beggar is a woman or an alien woman.

"I know," I said quickly, "you must keep everything today secret for me, and I will thank you very much."

"I save it." The doctor nodded with a understanding smile, "I'm not interested in other people's secrets."

Although Dr. Su's character is not good, his medical skills are still smart. The next morning, Qi Danyun woke up. I was very excited. I remembered everything I had done for her, and I felt a little heroic in my heart. I don't know how she would thank me. Maybe she would give me a promise like the plot in most legends. While thinking nonsense, the first sentence she opened her eyes almost made me angry. Her first sentence actually asked, "Is Daisy dead?"

I was so angry that my face and mouth changed. I couldn't help scolding: "She is so important to you. Do you know that you almost died? Do you know that I almost died with you? Did you almost let Tony cut off our heads with a knife?

She looked at me with shining eyes, removing the camouflaged blue eyes embedded in an ugly old face, which should have made people feel extremely strange, but the light of these eyes covered all the disguises on her face, making people feel the ugliness of her face at all. For the first time I looked at this close distance with these eyes, which made I gradually forgot what I was talking about, and my consciousness gradually fell into the blue sea-like pool-like pupils, and I didn't know why.

"Since it's almost, what else do you do?" A mischievous smile flashed in my blue eyes, which woke me up. I couldn't speak, and there was a warm feeling on my face. When I peeked at the Danyun, I suddenly found that she also lowered her eyes, and the long eyelashes covered her eyes, but there was still a trace of shyness and joy from the gap between the curved eyelashes. It overflowed quietly. I found shyness in Qi Danyun's eyes for the first time!

"Hey, how did you recognize me?" She lowered her eyes and dodged my eyes, which calmed me down and smiled, "I'm afraid I can't forget the faint fragrance on your body in my life."

She was even more shy in her eyes and whispered, "It seems that when I pretend to be a beggar in the future, I should smell it."

"It's useless." I deliberately sniffed on her shabby beggar's clothes, "You can't hide your smell even with stinky tofu."

"Oh!" As soon as she smiled, she immediately covered her stomach and looked in pain. Obviously, it touched the wound. I hurriedly said, "You have a good rest and can't talk anymore. I won't disturb you."

I stood up reluctantly, tethered the corner of the quilt for her, and then waved goodbye to her. Before going out, she suddenly asked, "You haven't told me whether Daisy is dead?"

The smile on my face gradually disappeared and I asked, "Is Daisy so important to you? Are you really willing to kill it?

She looked at me silently, with a trace of loss in her eyes and sighed, "If you say so, she is not dead. I failed again."

"You are really dedicated," I can't help laughing. "From the 'Sea of Death' to here, you won't be discouraged by several mistakes. Your boss should give you a bonus. Maybe he will award you a diligent employee award to reward you for your great contributions to the company."

Speaking of this, I suddenly stopped and suddenly realized that I spit out the super-era language in my mouth. I don't know if I will be kicked out by the system as a leaker of secrets. Qi Danyun saw my worry and couldn't help showing a naughty smile in her eyes. She said leisurely, "Don't worry, there are some blind spots in the world that the system can't monitor. In such a blind spot, whatever you say will not trigger the automatic warning wall of the system, and this is just such a blind spot. Besides, the security system is the most important. If you are a maintenance of the monitoring system, the supervision of ordinary people is much more relaxed, so you are lucky.

I was relieved. The dissatisfaction in my heart of her break disappeared. I just said "Have a good rest" and was about to turn around and leave. Before going out, I couldn't help but look back and tell her, "Daisley was stabbed in the chest by you, and the injury is probably very good. If she is killed, Tony will definitely kill you. Even if he is lucky not to die, Tony will definitely not be polite next time he sees you. I can save you once or twice, but I can't save you for a lifetime. Be careful yourself.

Qi Danyun smiled mischievously: "If you keep staying with me and join hands with me, I don't have to be afraid of that stupid big man."

Stupid big? I laughed dumbly and heard Tony describe it for the first time.

I pushed the door out, and my heart also moved slightly to Qi Danyun's proposal, but I immediately rejected it. Not to mention that I would not turn against Tony for her, even if it was my secret mission, I would not allow me to stay with her for too long. After knowing her safety, my mind has flown to the south and to the unknown place where the original Book of Changes exists. It's just that I'm not sure whether Qi Danyun's proposal is a true expression or a bribe of feelings to attract me, a good helper?

After receiving all my money, Dr. Su generously accepted us to stay in his backyard and promised to prepare all the necessities for us, which reduced many unnecessary opportunities to go out. In this crisis, I am glad to find such a place to hide.

There was no martial law and door-to-door inspection as I estimated. The outside world was still the same, and even the routine wanted me and Tony's sea arrest documents did not appear, which surprised me a little. A few days later, I finally couldn't help but be concerned about Daisy's whereabouts and planned to venture out to explore the situation.

changed into a new outfit, and then stuck a mustache on his face. He randomly applied a plaster to cover half of his face. When he looked at the mirror, he almost couldn't recognize the face that had no characteristics. After dressing up, I leisurely slipped from the back door to the street, hoping to find Daisy's whereabouts. She was the key figure in my adventure.

The streets of Zhongdu are wide, and the houses on both sides are magnificent. Pedestrians on the road are bustling, with various accents in the south and north, speaking various languages of Han, Jin, Liao and Western countries. In addition to the Han people, Jurchens and Khitan people, you can also see the Semu people from far away from the Western Regions and the Fusang people from the East China Sea. The hustle and bustle of flowers is by no means comparable to the Xingqing Prefecture of the Western Xia Kingdom. It is indeed the towering capital of the Kingdom of Dajin.

I was wandering aimlessly on the street with my hands behind my back, and I suddenly heard someone shouting "Please wait!"

I turned around and saw a slender and graceful white-robed Confucian student stride. Although he was dressed like a Han Confucian, I still recognized him at a glance. If it was too late to avoid it, I could only calmly face Zhao Wang Wanyan in casual clothes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I probably recognized the wrong person," he stared at me deeply. From his eyes, I knew that he had recognized me, but strangely, his words made me a little confused. You remind me of an old friend, but you are obviously not him. As he said, he was about to say goodbye to me, but he remembered something and casually asked, "Are you a stranger?"

Seeing me nodded blankly, he smiled and whispered, "The weather has changed a lot recently. It seems to be windy and sunny. In fact, dark clouds are surging. You must be careful when you go out. Don't care about the scenery but catch up with the storm."

Even an idiot should have heard that he was warning me. I hurriedly whispered to him, "Thank you for reminding me!"

He smiled meaningfully and was about to leave, but suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, the scenery of the Peony Pavilion in the north of the city is good, and the moonlight there must be good tonight."

My heart moved and I was about to ask more. He had turned away and left me confused. It was not until he walked more than ten feet away that I noticed that a thin entourage followed him like a shadow. The man was dressed in gray, and his behavior and dress were not noticeable at all, and I didn't even see him clearly. But my intuition tells me that it is not easy to be a personal follower of Zhao Wang Wanyan Yong, and it is not easy to be able to attract the attention of others at all. Usually unnoticed weapons are the most dangerous weapons!

I don't know what medicine is sold in Wanyan Yonggou. At this time, it is about an hour before dark. I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go to the Peony Pavilion in the north of the city to see the "moonlight" according to Wanyan Yong's hint.

Turning into a hotel on the street, I sat down at a table by the window and asked for some side dishes and steamed buns to enjoy slowly. This is an ordinary hotel, and the business is quite prosperous. When I was about to ask Xiao Er about the location of the Peony Pavilion, the whispered conversation between the two diners behind me made me prick my ears first.

"You know, something big happened in Beijing the day before yesterday."

"What happened?"

"I heard from my friend who worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice that the ninth prince is missing."

"No wonder the secret guards of the emperor's investigation camp have been dispatched in the past few days, but why did the city defense soldiers and the imperial forest army have no response? Strange."

"Shh, keep your voice low, the guards are everywhere! Be careful of getting into trouble!"

"Exact exactly! We ordinary people should not care about the royal business. It's serious to drink and eat meat.

When the two mentioned the "investigation camp", they seemed to have lingering fear and dared not go on. They just turned the topic to the wind and snow and moon and talked happily about the famous prostitutes in a brothel. I was not very interested in Wanyan Liang's private affairs, so I called Xiao Er. After asking the way to Peony Pavilion in the north of the city, I settled the bill and left.

The Peony Pavilion in the north of the city is remote. If it hadn't been for the faint sound of the city, I'm afraid it would have made people mistaken it for the wilderness. Seeing that the bright moon has risen, I walked into the pavilion and came here to "appreciate the moon" according to Wanyan Yong's hint. I'm not worried that he will set me a trap. If he wants to take me, he can do it during the day. There is no need to abandon Jane and ask me here.

The night wind is slightly cold, and the four fields are silent. Except for the intermittent sound of insects and the faint sound of buzzing, it seems that I am the only one between heaven and earth. Looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, I felt surprisingly quiet. For the first time, I found that the bright moon in this virtual world was actually more real and clear than the bright moon in the real world. At this moment, I forgot the illusion and truth, forgot my mission, and only felt that my life at this moment was true! I secretly praise the kind who created all this in my heart. They can be called the gods who created the world, and even the creator and creator of this world.

"Mr. Bai is so interested!"

A greeting interrupted my thoughts and followed the sound. I saw Wanyan Yong, dressed in casual clothes, giving alms. Although it was only an old robe, it still couldn't hide his innate elegance and grace. He was followed by the man in gray during the day. Even if he was not in the bustling downtown, he was still unnoticed. It seemed that he could fully integrate with the surrounding scenery wherever he stood.

"Good Lord!" I got up and bowed to Wanyan Yong. As soon as I welcomed him into the gazebo, I couldn't help asking, "I was invited by the prince during the day, and the villain dared not come to enjoy the moon. It's just that the little man never figured it out. The prince only saw me twice in a hurry. How could he recognize me after being dressed up at a glance?

Wanyan Yong did not answer directly, but said with a faint smile, "You Han people have always admired those literati and warriors who despise the powerful and are proud. That's because there are too few such people. Even these very few people are mostly arrogant in the face of powerful people with disparable status, and cover up their bones with pride. Low self-esteem, so it is inevitable to talk and behave. Few people can really be neither arrogant nor humble and calm. I have seen countless people in my life, and I have only met two people.

"Oh? Which two?"

"One is you, and the other is Mr. Simon. Although Mr. Ximen is half-blind, his speech and manners are not the same because I am the prince, and he is calm and awe-inspiring. Although you seem respectful to me, the transcendence and conceit in your eyes are also unforgettable, so the first time I saw you left a deep impression on me. Especially in a hurry in the palace for the second time, you don't have any awe and respect for the imperial power in your eyes. I knew that you would never be an ordinary martial artist who was poor and threw himself to the door of Mr. Ximen. I think you must be a friend of Mr. Ximen, and only a person like you deserves to be a friend of such a master like Mr. Ximen. Did I guess wrong?"

I have to admire Wanyan Yong's vision. No wonder Qi Danyun will find him as a backer. Only with his sharp vision of world affairs can he see the difference of "Ximen Yong" at a glance, and then find that the superhuman intelligence of "he" can also form an alliance with Ximen Yong. . No wonder Daisy just came after Qi Danyun as soon as she left the palace. The news was surprisingly accurate and timely, which was mostly helped by Wanyan Yong, the king of Zhao.

"The prince guessed well. Mr. Ximen is indeed a friend." I laughed and knew that lying to such a smart person as Wanyanyong was the most unwise move.

"Bai Zhuangshi is really refreshing!" Wanyan Yong also smiled, "I don't have to beat around the bush for refreshing people. Please tell me where Mr. Ximen is now? And where are the nine princes?

I was stunned: "What nine princes?"

"Does Bai Zhuangshi still have to pretend to be confused?" Wanyan Yong was unhappy. "You sneaked into the palace and pretended to use astrology to observe the sky for the emperor. In fact, you wanted to abduct the dancers in the palace. After the matter was exposed, your accomplices took away the ninth prince and threatened the emperor to let you go. Now that the emperor has complied with the agreement to let you go, why didn't you let go of the ninth prince?

I was stunned again and argued, "I didn't take away any nine princes, and I don't even know who he is."

"You may not have, but your accomplices must have. According to my investigation, they are Khitan!"

Khidan people? I suddenly realized that it must be Yelu brothers! As the descendants of the nobles of Liao who were destroyed by the Dajin Kingdom, they already knew Wanyan Liang's weaknesses, so they took the risk of kidnapping Wanyan Liang's favorite son, which made Wanyan Liang have to honestly release me, Tony and Desili.

Seeing me meditating, Wanyan Yong added, "As long as you hand over the ninth prince to me, I promise that you will leave Zhongdu safely. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape from Zhongdu under the pursuit of the secret guards of the investigation camp."

When I heard Yan Yong mention the investigation camp, my mind flashed. In an instant, I grasped Wanyan Yong's real intention at this moment. I couldn't help laughing and asked leisurely, "When the prince met me during the day, why did you pretend not know me, but asked me here? Are you going to avoid the ears and eyes of the investigation camp? Don't want the investigation camp to take credit so that you can find out the whereabouts of the ninth prince from me to send you back to Beijing with your royal brother's happiness?

Wanyan Yong's face changed slightly, and it seemed that he didn't expect me to tell him what was on his mind. However, in a blink of an eye, he calmed down and said calmly, "This is just one aspect. In fact, I want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Simon from you. He has been missing for several days. For me, he is like my think tank. If Bai Zhuangshi has news about him, I hope he will not hesitate to let me know.

I curled my lips and didn't want to tell him the news of Qi Danyun, but seeing that he was extremely sincere and could not lie to him, I said perfunctorily, "I will tell Mr. Ximen what you said. If he wants to see you, he will naturally go to the Zhao Palace."

"Then thank you, Bai Zhuangshi." Wanyan Yong quickly bowed his hand and then said, "The ninth prince is the emperor's favorite son. If you have any news about him, please let me know. Now the whole city of the investigation camp is secretly searching for the whereabouts of the ninth prince, and the gate is also tightly sealed. You can't get out of the city. Why don't we make a deal? You give me the ninth prince and I'll take you out of the city.

I laughed and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the ninth prince. Even if I know it, I won't make such a deal. How can I believe you will take us out of the city?"

Wanyan Yong hesitated for a moment and said proudly, "I am willing to take the hostage on behalf of the ninth prince."

My heart was moved. I didn't expect Wanyan Yong to leave Zhongdu so urgently. I thought that Wanyan Liang was about to send troops to the south. The anti-war forces in the middle of the DPRK were suppressed by Wanyan Liang with power, and several of the most determined anti-war ministers were even sentenced to prison. Wanyanyong, as a royal magnate who should not underestimate his status and influence in the anti-war faction, probably felt his own danger, so he was so eager to leave Zhongdu to avoid Wanyan Liang. Understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why he wants to replace the ninth prince as a hostage.

Seeing me mutterly, Wanyan Yong said urgently, "You kidnapped the ninth prince not to leave Zhongdu safely. If you are a hostage, you have a better chance of leaving Zhongdu. The ninth prince is spoiled and weak and sickly. It has fallen into your hands for a long time. In case there is any difference, the emperor will definitely retaliate. Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will definitely find you!"

I know that he is reasonable, but now I don't know the whereabouts of the ninth prince. Of course, there is no way to talk about this deal. Besides, the king of Zhao may not have the ninth prince in Wanyan Liang's eyes. Taking him as his hostage, Wanyan Liang may not be a mouse. Thinking of this, I said perfunctorily, "I remember your suggestion. As long as I know the whereabouts of the ninth prince, I will definitely come to you to take us away from Zhongdu."

With that, I stood up and arched my hand to Wanyan Yong, "If the prince asked me out for this tonight, then your purpose has been achieved. Now it's getting late, and the moon has also been appreciated. Bai will leave and talk with the prince Yue another day.

Wanyan Yong opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. Somehow, I have never had a good impression on Wanyan Yong. According to his elegant appearance, graceful behavior and decent speech, the noble prince is not arrogant and extravagant. Whether as an opponent or an enemy, he should be worthy of respect. But I just don't like him.

I was about to step out of the pavilion when the gray man next to me flashed in front of me, which shocked me. When my face was facing each other, I saw his face clearly for the first time. His face is pale and thin, and his facial features are ordinary. He is the kind of appearance that may not be noticed even if he has seen it several times. Only a faint cold light in his eyes occasionally makes people feel a little dazzling. Judging from his appearance, he should be less than 30 years old, but his vision has experience and depth that his peers do not have.

"Dodge!" I don't like it when someone stands in the way. I reach out and push his chest. Before my fingertips touch his skirt, he has raised his hand to block it. I was unwilling. I pushed and slapped my hands in a row, and dozens of palms came out in a blink of an eye, but they were blocked by him one by one. It was not until I raised my knee to his waist and ribs that he suddenly retreated two steps, pulled out his sword with a choke, followed by a flash of sword light and pointed straight at my throat. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

" Stop it!" Wanyan Yong shouted softly, and the sword light stopped less than a foot in front of me, and suddenly stopped like lightning. I looked at the sword front close at hand and felt a cold sweat on the tip of my nose. If this sword hadn't been drunk by Wanyan Yong, I would have been very embarrassed even if I could avoid it. This man in gray's sword is probably not inferior to Lang Lie before he broke his hand, and his ability to fight close to him with empty hands is definitely above Zong Tuo, the general manager of the Golden State University.

"Ab, don't be rude!" With Wanyan Yong's shouting, the man in gray returned his sword into the sheath, and the crisp sound of the long sword entering the sheath was extremely clean and neat. I was secretly relieved and grinned at him and said, "What's your name?"

The man in gray did not answer, but still blocked my way. I was secretly annoyed and was about to rush forward again, but I heard Yan Yong explain behind me, "Bai Zhuangshi, don't be too careful. Abu is a mute. His real name is Le Buyi, and his nickname is Abu."

I was shocked again. Looking at the man in gray's tight lips, I really couldn't connect him with the mute.

"Ab, let him go." Wanyan Yong sighed gently behind me, "Bai Zhuangshi, remember my proposal. If you have the whereabouts of the ninth prince, please be sure to contact me. In addition, please tell Mr. Simon that I miss him very much.

Although I knew that the "missing" in Wanyanyong's mouth had no other meaning, and he had not even seen the true face of "Ximen Yong", I was still a little unhappy and snorted coldly and strode away. I am not grateful for Wanyan Yong's geneaties. Presumably his most urgent wish now is to leave Zhongdu for the time being. I am just an insignificant pawn for him. If he can find Wanyan Liang's favorite ninth prince through me, he may be able to leave Zhongdu because of this credit, not only to avoid being convicted of anti-war, but also to avoid being involved in Wanyan Liang's army in the southern expedition.

I walked back along the same road, and the moonlight was very bright, making the earth shine like the day, so that I would not get lost. After about a meal, he suddenly heard a low shout in front of him: "Hold!"

I hurriedly stopped. I looked in the direction of the sound, but it was a remote alley, and I couldn't see half a person in the dark. I thought I had met a robber, but I just heard the voice and shouted, "Put your hands out and stand there."

I opened my arms and saw two dark shadows flashing at the entrance of the alley, both dressed in soap, lifting short blades upside down, and walking as light as two civet cats haunting in the night. One of them shouted to me, "Who is it? What do you do?"

I suddenly realized that there is a special period in the middle capital now. Of course, walking alone on the street late at night will certainly be questioned. I quickly pretended to be afraid and replied, "I am a good people who is safe and disciplined. Someone in my family is in urgent need. I came to invite a doctor overnight."

"Nonsense!" The man said, "Your accent is not local, and there is no doctor nearby. Who are you going to invite?"

I didn't expect the other party to see through my flawed lies at a glance, the other party's non-military clothes, and the quite professional actions and manners. I suddenly realized that I had met a talkative spy camp guard.

"I am a foreigner who has just moved to Zhongdu," I hurriedly defended. "I'm not familiar with this neighborhood and forgot the street where the doctor is."

"Hmm, still talking nonsense." Two shadows stopped a few feet away, and one of them asked coldly, "Where do you live?"

I know that this can't be nonsense, but it's a pity that I just arrived in Zhongdu. The place name is completely strange to me, and it's not easy to talk nonsense. With this hesitation, the man in black opposite immediately shouted, "Come on, take it!"

I turned around and wanted to run. When I turned around, I found that there were several shadows in the same clothes behind me. In addition to the two people in front of me, more than a dozen people slowly forced me, and I had fallen into their encirclement.

"Jing down immediately and surrender, if you dare to resist, do justice on the spot!" The speaker seemed to be the leader of these secret guards, and more than a dozen people in black surrounded me quite tacitly under his command. I slowly squatted down, put my hand on my head, and pretended to surrender according to his words, but I was thinking about how to get out.

Seeing me squatting down obediently, a man in black took out his shackles and came up to lock me. When he was about to put shackles around my neck, I had punched him in the lower abdomen. He didn't expect that I dared to resist surrounded by more than a dozen people and was almost defenseless. This punch made him scream and covered his stomach and squatted down in pain. I grabbed the knife from his waist and rushed forward.

The secret guards in front retreated while resisting my attack, while those behind caught up with me. More than a dozen people cooperated extremely tacitly and always surrounded me in the middle of the crowd. After several unsuccessful shocks, I knew that none of these secret guards were mediocre. No wonder everyone was afraid of the investigation camp. In addition to its direct jurisdiction and huge power, it did attract many talents.

"Put down the blade and spare you not to die!" The leader shouted outside the crowd, and the siege became more and more urgent under his supervision. I have no way to escape under the siege of more than a dozen masters. If I fight fiercely, I will either die bravely or be captured. He doesn't need to treat me so preferentially at all. But when I heard the leader's shout, I suddenly grasped the key point. The most important thing for them is to find the clue of the ninth prince, so they will not kill any suspect easily. Thinking of this, I suddenly shouted at the leader, "Wait!"

Everyone immediately stopped. In just a moment, I was forced to the corner by them and had no way back. I couldn't help but be shocked by their combat effectiveness and smiled at the leader, "Don't you just want to find the ninth prince? If you are so hardworking, in case you accidentally hurt me, you will be seriously injured and cut off the clues to find the ninth prince. Let's see how you can explain to Wanyan Liang?

The leader's face changed slightly, not only because I called Wanyan Liang's name, but also because I fell on his mind. Probably I didn't expect that I was really related to the whereabouts of the ninth prince. A trace of joy flashed on his face and hurriedly said, "As long as you tell the whereabouts of the ninth prince, we will never embarras you again."

"How can I believe you when you are so hard?" I laughed. The leader quickly clapped his hands at the crowd, and the guards immediately retreated a few steps and surrounded me a few feet away. Then the leader said to me, "In order to show my sincerity, we will no longer force each other. Please show some sincerity and tell us the whereabouts of the ninth prince. We will not only not embarras you, but also ask the emperor to reward you."

I sneered in my nostrils and knew that the other party was so polite to me for the time being because he couldn't help me for a while and didn't dare to kill me. With Wanyan Liang, even if I send the ninth prince to him, I'm afraid he won't let me go. What's more, I don't know the whereabouts of the ninth prince at all. Seeing that the secret guards retreated two or three feet away, I thought about how to get out and said perfunctorily, "Did I tell you the whereabouts of the ninth prince, and you let me go?"

"That's natural." The leader pretended to smile easily, "But this will have to wait until I send someone to confirm your words before you can leave safely."

"That's right," I nodded and smiled. "The place where the Nine Prince is located is very secret. Even if I tell you the general location, you may not find it. I'll take you there."

Saying that I was going to walk forward and plan to take them to stroll through the streets late at night. I think there will always be a time when they are relaxed, and I will have a chance to get out. Unexpectedly, the leader saw through my mind and immediately said, "No, just tell us where the ninth prince is, and you don't have to bother the rest."

"Okay." I nodded helplessly and casually said the place name of the Peony Pavilion. I really don't know a few place names in Zhongdu. It happens that the Peony Pavilion is remote enough, and it is still a little far from here. As long as they go to the Peony Pavilion in several people, my chances of getting out will naturally be greater. The leader questioned the situation around the peony pavilion and saw that I was not completely nonsense, so he whispered a few words to a man, who immediately took out a cannon and blew it into the sky.

I call it bad. I didn't expect that a few words of nonsense would provoke the soldiers and secret guards all over the city. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to get out. Seeing that the crowd did not relax the encirclement, and I was still hesitating in rushing and waiting for the opportunity, I only heard the messy footsteps in the distance, and I heard a little familiar voice shouting from afar, "Who sent the signal?"

"In reply, the villain found the clue of the ninth prince." The leader of the guard hurriedly greeted him. Under the moonlight, a strong man hurriedly came with more than a dozen people. As soon as he saw me, his purple face couldn't help smiling with excitement and viciously and nodded to me repeatedly: "It's you, really you? Coincidentally! What a coincidence! What a magnificent remit, sparse and unmissing!"

I didn't expect that because of my letter, it attracted the person I most wanted to see at this moment. I had to smile and said, "Lord Zong, are you all right? It seems that we are really predestined."

"Yes, our fate is really not shallow." Zong Tuo's eyes flashed with the excitement of cat and mice, pinched his fingers and smiled at me, "If I don't greet you well, will I live up to God's favor?"
