The icy rain poured down and fell on the soft armor of the Jinghu Guard and the guards of the palace. Standing in the first place, looking gloomily at the closed gate in front of him, more than a hundred people stood there, and no one made a sound.
Pang Xiao came out of the crowd and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Not long after, I heard the doorman in the daytime answer impatiently: "Who is who! Who is it in the rainy day, it's already this hour, who is coming!"
Pang Xiao lowered his voice and said in Mandarin with some local accents: "It's me, open the door, the owner is here."
Today, Pang Xiao and that doorman had a close encounter. Now when he heard the voice of an acquaintance, the doorman was unguarded and immediately opened the door.
"Hey, why is the owner here at this time? Isn't it..." Before he finished speaking, people were completely stunned, and the doorman looked at the soldiers standing in front of the door dumbly, the words choked in his throat, and he stepped back two times. He took a step and sat down on the ground, "You, you..."
Hu Zi and the others swarmed in silently, knocking the door stunned neatly and placing it under the porch sheltering from the rain.
Everyone went deeper and deeper into each layer in an orderly manner, and the servants and servants they saw were all knocked out and placed under the corridor. Not long after, Pang Xiao led someone into the inner courtyard.
Almost as soon as the Jinghu guards arrived, the man who had been hiding in the dark returned to Pang Xiao and whispered: "My lord, three of the six are drinking and chatting in the flower hall, and the other three have eaten too much. They went back to their rooms and went to sleep."
Pang Xiao nodded and instructed the Jinghu guards to go to the bedroom in three ways to find people. He took someone to kick open the door of the flower hall.
In the flower hall, Guan Dahu was drinking and chatting with his two brothers, bragging about the glorious deeds of the year. Even the thrilling scene in the desert was changed and said to these two people. Facing their adoring gazes, Guan Dahu got supreme satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, the rise of the blowing, the door suddenly made a slamming sound.
All three were taken aback. Guan Dahu wanted to be more calm, and scolded him without looking back: "These servants are getting more and more unruly."
Suddenly, Guan Dahu realized that something was wrong.
The two sitting across from him were like chickens strangled by their necks, each with their mouths open and their eyes wide open, as if they were greatly stimulated or frightened.
Guan Dahu looked back suspiciously, and his pupils shrank for a moment.
The icy tip of the sword pointed at the tip of his nose, and beads of sweat the size of beans curled down from his forehead.
"You, who are you, you, dare, dare..." Yuanjian asked the other party about breaking into the house without permission, and he was blocked in his mouth.
Because Guan Dahu could see clearly the clothes of everyone in front of him.
These are clearly soldiers!
Pang Xiao sneered, "Are you Guan Dahu?"
Guan Dahu shivered all over, and he knew on the spot that he was afraid of the worst. The person who named him by name was clearly aimed at him! Moreover, they are only three or two small fish and shrimp, but the other party is a strong and capable man!
Guan Dahu's voice was trembling, his eyes fixed on the tip of the sword, his eyes became cross-eyed, and another drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Next, it is, may I ask your honorable driver..."
Impatiently listening to what Guan Dahu said, Pang Xiao directly reported to his family: "Pang Zhixi."
Guan Dahu was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said shiveringly, "Yeah, it turned out that Prince Zhongshun was here. If you have any orders, just say, I will definitely know everything about the villain, and I will say it endlessly."
Pang Xiao shook his head, and the sharp sword tip swayed with his movements, "I can't tell you what to do, a scum like you is really not worthy of listening to this king's orders. This king doesn't need you to do anything today, and I don't want to listen to you. Say."
When Guan Dahu heard this, his heart went cold.
The lord came with so many people, as if he was raiding his home, and he didn't ask for anything. Wouldn't he be sure to die
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Guan Dahu knelt down in a panic, staring at the tip of his sword, tremblingly begging for mercy, "Your Highness spared Xiao's life, Your Highness, Xiao, Xiao know the secret of the treasures of the Dayan Dynasty. , as long as you save the little one's life, the little one will definitely take you to find the treasure!"
"Yes, my lord spare my life, my lord, we can also tell you the whereabouts of the treasure, please forgive me!" The other two also knelt down and kowtowed.
Pang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "No need, this king doesn't care about treasures."
Guan Dahu thought about it, and immediately understood, he knew that Qin Yining's position in Pang Xiao's heart was not easy, but they were all "traitors" who betrayed Qin Yining and betrayed the Qingtian League. Could it be that the prince is here to help the princess clear the door
Thinking of this, Guan Dahu broke out in a cold sweat.
"My lord, the little one is loyal to the princess, and she has no two hearts. As long as the princess says a word, if the little one wants to go to the sky, the little one will go to the sky, and if the little one enters the earth, the little one will enter the earth."
Pang Xiao sneered, and the tip of the sword gradually penetrated into Guan Dahu's mouth.
Guan Dahu pulled his neck and ducked back, but Pang Xiao didn't intend to let him go at all, and when he picked up the peak, Guan Dahu screamed, and the blood was pouring out of his mouth.
"Since you can't speak, don't ask for your tongue."
Guan Dahu slumped to the ground in pain, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
The two people at the back were frightened and stupid, and kowtowed again and again, "Forgive your life, my lord, spare your life!"
Pang Xiao mercilessly cut off the tongues of the two of them.
The blood filled the room. If an ordinary person saw such a scene, he would probably suspect that he had entered the tongue-pulling hell, but the people around Pang Xiao were all battle-hardened and truly shed blood on the battlefield. They have seen more cruelty on the battlefield, and this is just a small wound to them.
Pang Xiao stood on the spot and looked at the three people with a cold face and snorted in pain.
Not long after, another Jinghuwei brought three people out from behind.
Liu Ban and several others were thrown to the ground. When they saw Guan Dahu's tragic state, all three of their frightened souls and seven souls were lost, and they were left to kowtow and apologize.
Pang Xiao did not treat him differently.
The six people here had their tongues cut first, making them bleed and smell the fear of death, and they were finally killed by a knife.
Pang Xiao ordered Hu Zi to take someone to leave behind to dispose of the corpse, and to restore the house to its original state before leaving.
After leaving the house, Pang Xiao said to Jinghu Guard and Wangfu Guards who were guarding outside: "These people must have their comrades hiding nearby, and the whole city is under martial law, and suspicious persons are searched."
"Yes!"
—
Ji Yun changed into dry clothes, sat opposite Qin Yining and sighed.
"Princess, I'm late. When I arrived, the prince's people had already surrounded the house. And the prince didn't seem to be targeting that house only, there were people searching the streets everywhere. It took a lot of effort to avoid the prince's people."
Qin Yining brought the ginger soup prepared in advance to Jiyun, nodded and said, "I see. You can eat it while it's hot, it can ward off the cold."
Ji Yun thanked him with a smile, drank the ginger soup and said, "Princess, what should I do now?"
Qin Yining shook his head slowly, "My lord insists on doing this, and there is no one around us. The silver-faced detectives have all gone to Xiyue, and it is only now that I feel that there is a shortage of staff."
She never thought that she would disagree with Pang Xiao before. What she was going to do in the past, she directly told Tang Xiu to do it.
"This is the end of the matter, and there is no other way. I just hope that there are no fish that slip through the net under the prince's entire city's search. If there is, I am afraid that the secret of the treasure will be revealed." Qin Yining rubbed his forehead tiredly. She had planned before. After so long and doing so much, the reason is to do anything to get this treasure for Pang Xiao. But who would have imagined that things would turn out like this in the end.
She couldn't blame Pang Xiao, but she was a little helpless.
The three sat in front of the lamp for a while, and Jiyun returned Qiu Feishan's maple leaf-shaped jade token to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining took the jade card and played with it for a while, then suddenly said, "I pretended to be Boss Qiu before and joined the Qingtian League."
"Yes. Princess, what's the matter?"
"So, if there is a fish that slips through the net, when they are hunted by the whole city, if they have nowhere to go, where will they go for help?"
Jiyun and Bingtang's eyes lit up.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Today is too late. The lord will be back in a while. I will take time to send Yunyun to the Sitong number tomorrow and tell the shopkeeper Yin Da."
Qin Yining approached Ji Yun and whispered a few words in her ear. Ji Yun immediately smiled and replied, "It's still the princess who is very thoughtful. This method is good. I'll go tomorrow."
Qin Yining asked Bingtang and Jiyun to prepare Mrs. Tang's hot quilt for her, and then she changed clothes and lay down first.
She held her eyelids and waited for Pang Xiao, but she couldn't bear to fall asleep unknowingly when people hadn't come back in the middle of the night.
In a daze, it seemed as if the bed beside him had collapsed.
Qin Yining turned over, pushed the quilt on the other side, and said without contention, "Why did you come back so late?"
Pang Xiao was very careful for fear of waking Qin Yining, but as soon as he lay down, Qin Yining gave him the quilt and threw it into his arms.
He did not listen to her advice to hunt down the traitors of the Qingtian League today. He had already prepared for Qin Yining to be angry with him, and he was not allowed to go back to his room to sleep. He never thought that her sister Yi would be so gentle and tender. leaning against him softly.
"Good, go to sleep." Turning over and wrapping her in his arms, Pang Xiao placed a kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes contentedly.
He came back safely, and Qin Yining finally felt relieved and fell asleep without haze.
Early the next morning, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had breakfast together after washing up.
"Zhi Xi, I'm going to the Sitong number today."
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "How do you go? Just go like this, or go in disguise?"
"Of course after disguising." Qin Yining tilted her head to look at him, "What's wrong?"
Pang Xiao shook his head and said, "No."
"No?" Qin Yining's apricot eyes widened.
Pang Xiao said, "You stay at home obediently. Until I can thoroughly investigate the Qingtian League traitors, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to leave the second door."
"Both doors are not allowed? Yesterday was already banned, why is it still like this today!"
