Chapter 137 Second Round

Que Yu and Cang Lan sneaked into the manor.

These days, Liu Yan secretly wandered around the garden and left secret marks using the Xuanji Guard's method.

Soon, they followed the instructions and arrived at a rockery, where they retrieved the layout of the manor.

Two of them were specially marked, one was Zhenxi Hall, the courtyard of Prince Rui, and the other was his study.

There were many servants serving in the residence, so Canglan chose the study first.

The two of them sneaked all the way and headed straight for their target.

The courtyard outside the pavilion has white walls and gray tiles, and Xiangfei bamboos are densely planted at the base of the walls. Moss grows on the bamboo joints, and when rain falls, the bamboos make a rustling sound, like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

A plaque hangs above the moon-shaped door, with the word "Qingheng" engraved on the pine wood bottom.

The master ran straight to the rain corridor, and before he reached the eaves he heard a loud shout.

"who!"

Canglan's face was as gloomy as water. He clearly didn't sense anyone around. This showed that he had great skills in concentrating his Qi.

However, it is normal for the study to be guarded, which means that important information may be hidden there.

"Get it!"

Her whereabouts had been revealed, and there was no way she would return empty-handed. She made the decision in a flash.

What's more, both of them are dressed casually and have disguised themselves, so now is the best opportunity.

The two of them flashed into the rain corridor and saw the man's appearance clearly. The whole person was hidden in the shadow of the corridor column.

Two against one, Canglan found out the opponent's strength as soon as they started fighting, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it’s only the fourth level.

The Xuanji Guards are not afraid of those at the same level, not to mention that they have the advantage in numbers.

After only three rounds of fighting, the guard was hit by a needle in the chest and thigh, and immediately felt dizzy.

"mean……"

The next moment, his head tilted and he fell into coma.

The two men immediately rushed into the study and brought the guard in as well.

The movement just now was not big, but if we delay, something will happen, so we must be quick.

The layout of the study is not complicated.

The north wall is covered with cypress wood shelves, and the books are displayed in three colors: blue cloth, jute, and plain paper.

The large elm desk in the center has natural wood grain stained with ink to create a mountain and river pattern.

There is a chess couch under the west window, and a charcoal stove next to the couch, which I guess can be used to make tea on weekdays.

Que Yu checked the desks, wooden shelves and other furnishings, while Canglan checked the floor tiles, walls and beams.

Both of them know a little about mechanical techniques, and their methods of investigation are also simple.

Use the vibration of true Qi, and the force that is fed back can easily find the secret compartments and dark rooms.

Soon, Que Yu found a secret compartment one foot square under the desk. With a little perception, he found the mechanism and opened it.

There were two booklets and several letters hidden in it.

These things are old and look quite worn.

Canglan carefully opened the volume on top, and it began with March of the second year of Taiwei.

Your Majesty the present ascended the throne in winter and changed the reign title to Taiwei.

Canglan took a breath of cold air, because the number of counterfeit coins minted was recorded after the time.

Turn the pages one by one, recording one every three months.

It has been thirteen years now!

She slowly exhaled, her hands trembling as she opened the next book.

How is that possible!

The records in this volume were even simpler. After the name and official title was a number, with no other explanation. However, how could the two of them not guess what the number represented?

But, the name at the top of the homepage...how could it be his!

Flipping quickly back, familiar names appeared one after another, from Fengjing to Bailu County.

After quickly flipping through them, only two letters were left.

He carefully pulled out one of the letters and just after reading a few lines, their eyes suddenly widened and they couldn't help holding their breath.

"Sister, this..."

Que Yu's voice was trembling badly, and Cang Lan, who was more experienced than her, was not much better. He pursed his lips tightly and the blood drained away from his face.

He put the letter away unsealed, and immediately took out oil paper and tung oil cloth to wrap these things.

If what is recorded above is true, it will be like a storm for Da Gan.

Given their ranks, they are unable to make any decision at all. This matter must be reported immediately.

But Canglan had some concerns because the process of obtaining these things was too smooth.

If she did these things, she must have hidden them in a place that ordinary people would not expect.

It was in the study, guarded by only a fourth-grade warrior, and the mechanism was so simple.

It doesn't seem like it's used to hide confidential documents, but more like a trap.

After calming herself down, she expressed her concerns, and the two of them spent some more time searching, but did not find any other secret compartments.

"No more waiting, let's go!"

The two of them didn't care about anything at this moment and sped away along the marks left by Yinzhe along the way.

The Mint, in front of the ruins of the official building.

Liu Yan suppressed the injuries in his body and looked very ugly.

Originally, he wanted to sneak in quietly to look for evidence, but was forced to show up by the third-grade sorcerer.

It seemed that he was going all out and determined to kill him on the spot, but in fact, he was just trying to buy time.

Leading him here, the illusion of a life-or-death situation was created, forcing him to use his ultimate move.

And just by coincidence, King Rui's men arrived just in time and witnessed the scene of corpses all over the ground.

Haha... There is a fire hidden in Liuyan's chest, which is silent anger.

"Who are you?"

When the questioning voice came, Liu Yan's eyes swept over lightly, "Xuan Ji Wei Qian Hu, Liu Yan."

The identity of a captain of the Xuanji Guard was still quite intimidating. The person who questioned him harshly paused for a moment, but immediately spoke again, "Even if you are a Xuanji Guard, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, the blazing "force" swept over King Rui regardless of anything.

A violent collision suddenly appeared above the void, and the aftermath spread out in all directions.

The guards sensed an irresistible force and were unable to control themselves and were blown sideways, but that was all. None of the fifty or so riders fell off their horses.

Liu Yan reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and his eyes met the guard on King Rui's left.

Through the scene of "slaughter", he tested the trump cards around King Rui, and it turned out that he was indeed protected by the Divine Martial Realm.

The guard's eyes were cold, knowing that he had been tricked.

If it really went towards King Rui, its power could not be limited to this level of lethality. The aftermath would be enough to knock people and horses around it to the ground.

It was just a superficial test, but it forced out his hidden trick.

The flowing flames subsided as soon as they touched the king, his eyes fell on the face of King Rui, and he bowed slightly.

"The Xuanji Guards won't massacre without reason. Moreover, if I were to take action, I would do it quietly and not cause such a big commotion."

Prince Rui's eyes swept over the corpses one by one, and he could call out the names of many of them.

He glanced around and said coldly, "Who is the murderer?"

"Two sorcerers, the assassins who once tried to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess."

On the other side, Yan Wujiu and Yang Wuhui fled quickly without looking back.

About seven or eight miles away there is a small canal, which was the starting point for the mint to transport copper coins in the past.

At this time, there was a shuttle-shaped light boat parked on the shore. The two men boarded the boat and flew away like a powerful arrow with the help of their true energy.

Yan Wujiu stood at the stern of the boat, unable to get close to him despite the wind and rain.

At the same time, he transmitted a secret message:

"Mr. Qu, now that the Xuanji Guards know about the counterfeit currency, can you trust me now?"

Under the canopy of the light boat, a thin figure stared at the rain outside the boat.

"The Xuanji Guards are responsible for protecting the Mint, which is not enough to prove it."

"No rush, Mr. Qu might as well wait and see."

The man in the boat did not respond. The little finger of his left hand, which was pressed against the side of the boat, was suddenly shortened.

Yan Wujiu stood alone in the wind and rain, surrounded by a shroud of mist.

The bad currency account books or blaming the Xuanji Guards are just superficial. How could the sorcerer's layout be so crude?

What he is planning is the general trend, the spark that will set the prairie on fire.

The second game has been set, how can they break it this time?
