Chapter 79 (8,000 words) Xuan Yizhen is furious...

"Get out of the way!" A group of palace soldiers rode past on horseback in the long street, their red and blue flying feather sword tassels swaying, the sound of horses' hooves clattering, and their majesty and solemnity made the crowd avoid them.

The accompanying government soldiers posted notices in various streets and markets, and even scattered papers from high places. Their actions were swift and decisive.

Papers were flying all over the sky, attracting countless attention. Some people looked at the pretty face with regular features in the notice room, while others picked up the papers to read them and vie with each other to pass them around.

"Prince Yin disappeared this morning, so Princess Zhanghua is offering a large reward for information leading to his return."

"Not only that, but they also gave me a gold troy pound. That's the most famous gold mine in the entire dynasty."

There was an uproar among the crowd. The scorching sun was shining brightly in the sky, and papers were flying everywhere, covering the streets and markets of the capital, and even the city gates.

The wind rustled the eaves bells, making them melodious and clear. Inside the elegant chamber of Peifeng Tower, the glittering jewels shone brightly. The Third Princess, clutching a beautiful jade wine cup, looked at the announcement absentmindedly and asked, "What's going on with Xuan Yizhen?"

"Who knows? It's just a missing prince consort. Xuan Yizheng made such a big fuss about it. He is worthy of being the daughter of the Empress Dowager. His status is extraordinary." Princess Xinyang touched the mask with her fingertips, jealously provoking.

Now that the emperor obviously trusts the eldest prince, the third princess's status will rise in the future, so Princess Xinyang often comes to Peifeng Tower for banquets.

"Oh, Xuan Yizhen keeps a close watch on her consort, so there's no reason for him to disappear. However, it's the Ghost Festival now, and the capital is not at peace. Vicious dogs are attacking people and spreading rabies. Everyone avoids going out at night, and it's quite deserted."

"But I see that Peifenglou's business remains unaffected. It's open all night long, and many noble ladies and gentlemen spend a fortune on the Ecstasy Powder. It's not uncommon for them to spend thousands of dollars a night."

The Third Princess replied smugly, "Of course. After all, my brother is in charge of the security of the capital. Who would be so blind as to come and seal it off and offend me?"

Moreover, there are many defensive mechanisms in Peifeng Building. Just a few mad dogs and a closed door will not be able to interfere with business no matter what bloody storm happens outside.

Princess Xinyang asked with a probing look in her eyes, "Why don't you try the Ecstasy Powder?"

"I just want money, I'm not stupid. If you want to try the taste of the ecstasy powder, I can give you some to try." The third princess smiled arrogantly while drinking.

"Forget it. My mother is watching closely. It will be terrible if we are discovered." Besides, Princess Xinyang knew that taking the Ecstasy Powder would be addictive and very expensive. This place was simply a den of money.

The third princess chuckled, raised her hand to pour the wine, and said slowly: "That's true, my aunt has always been very careful with you, my dear. I don't want to be scolded."

The sound of wine and conversation gradually became blurred. The third princess's eyes stopped at the notice with Yin Xing's portrait. Her smile disappeared and her expression became dark and difficult to discern.

The situation in the capital is now complicated and dangerous, and the emperor has entrusted his important ministers and generals with the responsibility of guarding the capital's military.

At this time, someone offended Xuan Yizheng and kidnapped Yin Xing. No one knows what the mastermind behind the scenes is trying to do.

Outside the window, the sun shone gently, the sky was clear and azure. On the lake, inside the pleasure boat, the second princess's eyes fell on the notice and she whispered, "You did it?"

Du Ruo said rather arrogantly, "I did it. Would you still come to the appointment now?"

The words fell into silence, and the two looked at each other, both with gloomy suspicion.

However, both of them knew Xuan Yizhen's methods very well. If someone kidnapped Yin Xing, they would have been involved in a bloody storm and would not have had the time to chat and laugh on the boat.

The wind blew and the waves surged, and the pleasure boat moved with it. The Second Princess said with a gentle expression, "I don't care whether it's you or not, but it's best not to delay the arrangements. The first target now is the eldest prince, not Xuan Yizhen."

The emperor sent the eldest prince to be in charge of the capital's security, and it was obvious that he favored the crown prince as his candidate. Now this greatest danger must be eliminated.

"Don't worry, those things have become more powerful after being bred and domesticated. There will be a big party tonight." Du Ruoleng responded arrogantly, fiddling with the red bag at his side with his left hand, looking quite confident.

"Why does it have to be at night? Can't we train it to attack during the day?"

"Because this kind of Gu was originally bred by rabies, it's instinctive to be afraid of light. If you want both, being too greedy will only lead to more harm than good."

The Second Princess looked at Du Ruo deeply, not quite trusting her, but she didn't say much. She said, "Okay, but I'm curious how the things I gave you avoided the scrutiny of the capital."

Now mad dogs are being caught in the streets and alleys of the capital. Basically, regardless of whether the dogs are sick or not, they will be killed to prevent future troubles.

If you want to keep those things hidden from others, you need some patience and thinking.

Du Ruo replied confidently, "Don't bother Second Princess to worry about this. No one will find out anyway."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see with tea instead of wine." The second princess picked up the teacup and spoke.

"I won't drink the tea. Who knows if there's any problem? Goodbye." Du Ruo didn't raise his hand to take the tea. He stood up straight, his eyes swept across the portrait on the notice, and stepped out of the pleasure boat.

There must be other reasons for Yin Xing's disappearance.

The second princess watched Du Ruo leave with a stiff expression on her face. She slowly put down the teacup, fiddled with the ruby ​​​​Zen beads on her wrist with her fingertips, and looked at the notice, wondering why.

It was too much of a coincidence that Xuan Yizheng openly caused such a scene at this time.

Is this a cover-up, or is there some other plan? We really have to be careful.

Outside the pleasure boat, waves surged layer upon layer. As the sun set, the sky gradually turned blood red. The pavilions and towers in the capital were as red and sad as if they were splashed with blood.

In the Nanxiang market, there are shops selling incense, candles and paper money. During the Ghost Festival, many people buy masks to worship ghosts and gods, and hang them in their doors or halls, or have their children wear them.

In the crowd, a mask with a red face and angry eyes and another mask with a green face and fangs walked side by side through the street. Both of them had swords at their sides, and one of the swords had a purple and blue tassel.

"A lot of people are looking for the missing Prince Consort Yin right now. There's a big reward for reporting the missing Prince Consort Yin. If you find him, you'll get a gold mine!"

"But the capital is so big, it would be too difficult to hide someone."

As they were talking, the two of them turned the corner, one in front and one behind, and entered the alley blocked by a seal. Flies could be vaguely seen gnawing at the black flesh on the ground in the corner.

"If you don't tell me what you are going to do, I will go back." As he spoke, Yin Xing took off the red and angry ghost mask, revealing his handsome face. His fair skin was slightly stained with sweat. He felt that the self-defense sword given by Jiang Yun was a bit heavy, so he simply held it in his arms.

I thought Jiang Yun wanted me to help her solve the problem, but who would have thought that he would kidnap me without saying a word. Xuan Yizheng must be very worried now.

"Don't worry, I suspect rabies may be caused by a poison. We must find Du Ruo." Jiang Yun took off his mask to breathe, revealing a heroic face that didn't look too energetic. He leaned slightly against the wall and supported himself with his sword.

Seeing that Jiang Yun had the same suspicion, Yin Xing asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"I was poisoned myself, so of course I know my physical condition best. How come you seem to know about it too?"

"This is just my guess. Although rabies can make people crazy and violent, they rely on their bodies to survive, so there's no reason for them to be able to resist sword damage. So I suspect it's some kind of poison similar to the puppet poison."

More importantly, Yin Xing had never heard of rabies being incurable in modern times, so he could only guess that it was a product of mutation caused by the breeding of insects.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and patted Yin Xing's shoulder, teasingly saying, "I didn't expect you're not stupid. Why don't you think about where Du Ruo would hide those terrifying things?"

"I don't know. The capital is too big, and Du Ruo is a wanted criminal. I think she might have a private house or something." Yin Xing was suddenly hit by Jiang Yun and felt a little pain. She took a breath and sighed that his hand was very strong.

Furthermore, mad dogs usually need a spacious and secluded place to gather. Otherwise, with all the panic going on now, it would be easy for people to notice that something is wrong.

"I have the same suspicion, but according to the information from the investigation, the area with the most movement at night in the capital these days is in South Lane, so it is very likely that Du Ruo's hideout is hidden here." As Jiang Yun spoke, he held the gauze tightly wrapped around the wound in his hand and felt no pain at all.

Unfortunately, Nanxiang is too big for two people to find clues. Moreover, land is very expensive in the capital. If there really is such a hiding place, the imperial court should have discovered and confiscated it long ago.

Yin Xing noticed that Jiang Yun's arm was bleeding profusely. He was secretly shocked and said worriedly, "I think you should go see a doctor to stop the bleeding."

Jiang Yun watched Yin Xing decide to withdraw his earlier praise and sighed, "There are arrest notices posted all over the streets. What's the difference between going to a clinic or drugstore and turning myself in at the Dali Temple?"

"I remember Miss Liu also knows medical books. Aren't you going to join her?"

"Running away is a serious crime. I don't want to take the risk and implicate Liu Ci."

Yin Xing was shocked to realize that he had misjudged her intention to elope. He asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Miss Liu come to the Dali Temple this morning?"

Jiang Yun said unnaturally: "I wrote a letter to Liu Ci. I must have tricked her into going to the capital."

After these words were spoken, Yin Xing fell silent, thinking that he would never do such a thing to Xuan Yizheng.

But thinking about what he was doing now, Yin Xing couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He held the sword in his hand and said, "How about I take you back to the villa first? Otherwise, if you don't go back after dark, she will be worried."

Of course, Yin Xing was not afraid that Xuan Yizheng would be angry, absolutely not.

Jiang Yun picked up the paper notice and handed it to Yin Xing, chuckling softly, "It's too late. Your princess wife has already announced a huge reward throughout the city, so as long as we find Du Ruo, we won't be afraid of being left without help."

"But you don't know the whereabouts of Du Ruo and those guys. How are you going to find them when curfew comes and the streets in the market are closed?"

"Although we don't know much right now, we can confirm that this poison has some similarities to rabies, which is why it's afraid of light and travels at night."

The more Yin Xing listened to the description, the more he felt like a zombie. He watched the sun on the wall gradually fade away, and his gaze fell on Jiang Yun's embarrassed expression. His heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously stepped back.

Suddenly she felt that Jiang Yun gave her a sword to deal with her when she lost control.

Jiang Yun looked at Yin Xing's timid face, raised his hand and threw a stone, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get angry soon. I'm just waiting to find Du Ruo's hiding place."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yun saw a bee falling down with its wings broken by a stone. If he remembered correctly, it was the sixth bee.

It is said that bees have a keener sense of smell than dogs. I wonder if this is the search bee of Yin Xing's princess wife.

If that's the case, Jiang Yun couldn't help but admire the man's tactics. Yin Xing would probably never be able to escape from the other party's clutches in this life.

At this moment, the light in the alley is fading, like a silent countdown, which makes people even more frightened.

As Yin Xing pondered, he smelled the thick candle smoke in the South Alley. His eyes lit up and he said, "Maybe there's a place that's perfect for hiding."

As the afterglow of the setting sun slowly faded in the distance, the streets of the capital gradually became less crowded. Fences surrounded the streets and the capital's guards were marching in formation, ready to go.

Kerosene, arrows, swords and knives are all available. It seems more like a war than a mad dog hunt.

The shops in South Lane closed their doors and turned off their lights. Jiang Yun gently unlocked a door, and Yin Xing followed him in with his sword in hand, dumbfounded, muttering, "If you were a thief, you would be quite good."

Jiang Yun put away the wire, closed the door, and said jokingly, "You don't understand. The person who catches the thief is often more cunning than the actual thief. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

After the conversation ended, the two looked at the room full of coffins. It was a little dim inside. Yin Xing smelled the strong scent of incense oil lamps, not quite used to the strange smell, and said, "Why do you suspect this coffin shop?"

"You said that the coffin shop might be the most suitable place to hide those poisonous things cultivated by Du Ruo, so I asked which coffin shop has closed down recently." Jiang Yun's eyes fell on the coffin covered with mourning cloth and he spoke alertly.

"Hey, don't you smell a strange smell?" Yin Xing couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and stepped out of the coffin and spoke.

Jiang Yun paused, sniffed lightly, and there was no smell. Subconsciously, he suspected that it was the poison. He frowned slightly, raised his hand to lift the mourning cloth, and pushed the coffin open with force.

The empty coffin moved as it moved, revealing the body hidden underground. No wonder no one noticed anything unusual.

Yin Xing opened his eyes wide and saw the armored corpse covered with blue fur. He subconsciously stepped back. This thing was poisonous without any test!

"Sure enough, this is Du Ruo's main event. These mad dogs are just experimental Gu." Jiang Yun looked at their green faces. Now the skin on his arms was also bluish-green, no longer the bright red color of ordinary people.

"There are so many dangerous puppet poisons, why not burn them quickly!" Yin Xing really didn't want to stay for even a second longer.

Because according to common zombie plots, if they were a second later, they might wake up.

But Jiang Yun did not move at all. The light that entered the room faded away, and there was an inexplicable gloom and danger in her eyes.

Yin Xing subconsciously gripped the hilt of the sword and was about to call Jiang Yun, but suddenly someone put his hand on his shoulder, and he was so frightened that his scalp went numb!

"Master Xiao Yin, long time no see." Du Ruo put his palm on Yin Xing's shoulder, lowered his head slightly, and called softly.

"When did you come?" Yin Xing stuttered with fear, looking at the elusive Du Ruo.

After not seeing each other for several months, Du Ruo looked even more sinister and cunning than before. The hand on his shoulder was pressing down on Yin Xing, preventing him from moving at all.

Du Ruo responded calmly, "I just arrived a short time ago, and I heard that Master Xiao Yin wanted to burn these Gu people. This is really bad."

Hearing this, Yin Xing had no reason to quibble.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun said cheerfully: "Du Ruo, let's cooperate."

Yin Xing's eyes almost popped out of her head when she heard this. Wasn't Jiang Yun changing sides too quickly?!

Du Ruo glared at him and said, "Detective Jiang, what can you, a poisoned person like you, offer to cooperate?"

"It's precisely because I'm poisoned that I won't betray you. The imperial court wants to kill all those poisoned. Today, I even gave Yin Xing, who Xuan Yizhen is protecting, as a gift. Isn't that enough to demonstrate my integrity and ability?"

"That sounds quite pleasant. We have an operation tonight. If Constable Jiang is willing to cooperate, perhaps we can work together to accomplish something big."

Du Ruo placed his palm lightly on Yin Xing's shoulder, half-pushing her towards him and letting her sit down. He then withdrew his hand to pour her some tea and said, "Little Lady Yin, aren't you angry that Constable Jiang betrayed you?"

Du Ruoke has not forgotten that Yin Xing had a fight with Jiang Yun and even became estranged from him because of him.

Yin Xing looked at the gloomy Du Ruo in front of her. Her right sleeve was empty. Then she looked at Jiang Yun, no longer understanding her plan at all.

"There's nothing I can do even though I'm angry now. I was deceived by Jiang Yun today. I don't understand why she wants to cooperate with you." Yin Xing responded honestly without any hesitation.

"That's true. Lord Yin is indeed very easy to be deceived." Du Ruo looked at Yin Xing's clear and clean eyebrows and did not see any evasion or concealment, only confusion.

Jiang Yun approached and sat down without any hesitation. He raised his hand to show his injury and said, "Then please stop the poison for me first, otherwise I will go crazy and there will be no help."

Du Ruo's eyes swept over Jiang Yun's wound, and his left hand caressed the blue flesh. He placed a tiny Gu worm inside and said, "It can barely seal the poison and prevent it from recurring. As for the rest, it depends on your performance."

After he finished speaking, Du Ruo lit the incense oil lamp in front of him, which emitted a faint blue-green light.

Yin Xing smelled a fishy smell and subconsciously held his breath. His eyes fell on the puppets in the hall that broke out of their coffins and stood up one after another. He almost had a cardiac arrest.

In an instant, the puppets roared and then rushed out of the house and yard quickly. Their figures were as fast as lightning. Yin Xing was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun subconsciously frowned, gripping his sword tightly in his palm, thinking that even if he was not injured, it would be difficult to deal with such skills.

There might be big trouble in the capital tonight!

"It's time for Constable Jiang to take action."

"That's true."

Du Ruo was startled when he finished speaking. He stepped back to avoid the incoming sword attack. He drew his soft sword with his left hand and sneered, "You are really cunning."

Jiang Yun, with his agile figure and sword in hand, approached with a deadly blow. He did not dare to take it lightly and said sarcastically, "Same here."

Originally, Jiang Yun had hoped to trick Du Ruo into curing the poison, but now she was going to bring disaster to the entire capital. If she was not killed, she would become a serious problem.

Inside the coffin shop, the sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out, cold and dangerous. Countless heavy coffins shattered and fell to the ground.

All Yin Xing could see were flying shadows, sharp sword marks on the surrounding walls, and dust.

Now Yin Xing believed the rumor that the two of them had a fight in Dali Temple and broke down the wall.

Feeling that this coffin shop wouldn't last much longer, Yin Xing immediately hugged his sword and stood up to go out and ask for help!

Although he didn't understand how Jiang Yun was so sure that Xuan Yizhen's secret guards would find him soon, in this situation, if he didn't run away, he would have no way to survive and would also drag Jiang Yun down.

"Hold on, I'll get help as soon as possible!" Yin Xing encouraged as he stepped out of the hall.

Jiang Yun was almost distracted by Du Ruo's sword and was stabbed. He quickly waved his sword to block the terrifying sword energy and said through gritted teeth: "Hurry up!"

At this time, Jiang Yun felt that Yin Xing didn't need to be so polite!

Du Ruo, however, did not feel panicked. Instead, he was at ease. His eyes fell on Yin Xing who hurriedly left the hall, and he said slowly, "She will be back soon."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun had a bad feeling and suddenly suspected that this might not be Du Ruo's only hiding place.

Because those mad dogs don't seem to be here.

At this moment, Yin Xing hurriedly ran out of the coffin shop, his face full of fear, and stepped back to the threshold. He didn't expect to see those things outside!

The entire South Lane's intersecting streets were filled with fighting puppets, including not only civilians but also soldiers and guards. The rate of infection from bites was increasing, and in less than a minute, someone would join in, and the number was growing.

Damn it, what kind of super mutant Gu is this?!

The flames leaped, and roars and screams rang out one after another. Yin Xing had only seen this kind of scene in movies. He held the sword in his hand, but it was shaking constantly. He felt hesitant and suddenly felt that Du Ruo's tea was not that bad.

It turned out that the commotion in the capital at night these days was not due to the Ghost Festival commemoration, but because of this kind of scene.

But Yin Xing knew that he had to seek help quickly, and just as he was cheering himself up.

The baby's cry was so loud that it could almost penetrate the eardrum.

Yin Xing immediately ran out of the coffin shop, ran quickly towards the child, picked him up, and ran across the street, fearing that he would be chased.

But Yin Xing didn't expect that no puppets were chasing him. On the contrary, the ferocious puppets around him even ignored him.

Soon, Yin Xing brought the child into a small courtyard at the end, raised his hand to close the courtyard door, and said, "Don't cry, please have some candy."

The toothless child stopped crying shrilly after holding the candy in his mouth, and Yin Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

After putting the person in the bamboo basket in the corner of the yard, Yin Xing climbed up the wall on the stone slabs, trying to survey the situation and determine the route.

The bees were buzzing, and Yin Xing had no time to dodge. He looked up and found that the South Lane from the front street to the alley had collapsed. The fire was more obvious than in the previous few days, and even some buildings were burned.

Although he didn't understand the reason for the situation just now, Yin Xing felt that things should go much more smoothly if the puppet didn't attack him.

Who would have thought that at this moment an arrow was shot across, and one of the arrows almost hit Yin Xing's ear. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a panic. The medicine bag beside him fell to the ground, his head was buzzing, and he felt that plans could not keep up with changes.

Because Yin Xing vaguely saw dense black shadows in the sky in the dark night, like a flock of birds, and it turned out that these were actually arrows.

Yin Xing immediately picked up the bamboo basket and ran into the house. The moment the door closed, countless arrows fell on the door and windows, like a torrential rain. If he was a step slower, he might have seen Tai Nai!

Under the cover of night, the soldiers and guards outside the South Lane were on high alert. Han Fei ordered the archers to shoot, but no one, including the commander-in-chief and the thousand-household generals, tried to stop him.

Seeing this, the eldest prince realized how powerful Han Fei was.

"Marquis Weiwu, this situation should be reported to His Majesty before a decision is made."

"We must act swiftly in this emergency. The entire Nanxiang Street Market has suffered severe damage. All of them must be executed. Otherwise, the capital will fall by tomorrow morning. Can the Crown Prince bear the responsibility?"

After he finished speaking, the eldest prince looked embarrassed. He looked at the elite soldiers equipped with heavy armor behind Han Fei, and had to endure it and said nothing.

This Han Fei was able to shoot the second prince to death in public. In this situation, it would be of no benefit to provoke him.

The eldest prince slightly loosened his clenched fist, and with a genial look, he said, "Marquis Weiwu is right. This prince has not been considerate enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of puppets actually climbed up the roof of a building and broke through the fence. Some guards were bitten and bleeding.

Han Fei drew his bow and shot the puppet's head, but it was of little use, and his expression became more solemn.

Soon the high platform was also attacked. The eldest prince held the sword in his hand and tried his best to chop off the puppet's head. His eyes fell on the dark blood on the ground and he stepped back in shock.

Because even without heads, these puppets still did not stop being violent.

Soon, some puppets broke through the South Lane and headed towards other markets. The situation was not good, so the eldest prince wanted to lead his personal guards to retreat elsewhere.

Who would have thought that Han Fei would kill the fleeing person with a long sword in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to desert in battle will die!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and the eldest prince paused, holding the sword in his hand, and could only hold on.

Amidst the sounds of fighting, suddenly, another volley of arrows came flying in the night, but it had a strange effect.

Han Fei looked at the puppets that had been shot in the head but remained indifferent, but now they fell to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth and twitching.

Soon, many puppets were knocked down from the streets and alleys and even from the roofs, and the soldiers were able to regroup.

The eldest prince looked at a group of soldiers and horses rushing towards him from afar. The long procession of ceremonial guards seemed to have no end. The gold and jade hangings on the carriages and horses made a clear sound by colliding with each other. He looked surprised.

It turned out to be the Wanqi family's Youlan cavalry. Chiyan and Youlan are the most important troops of the Wanqi family. They appear and disappear mysteriously day and night.

Soon, the fences, shields and armor were rebuilt, and the commander-in-chief and the thousand-household generals came to pay their respects. Han Fei and the eldest prince looked at the figure in the carriage and stepped forward.

"I want to send a team of people into the South Lane. I wonder if the eldest prince and Marquis Weiwu can give us some convenience?" Xuan Yizheng said softly from behind the curtain of the carriage, looking down at the bee with broken wings in the glass bottle.

The eldest prince responded without hesitation: "Of course, it's just that the South Lane is dangerous, so please be careful."

Princess Zhanghua rarely shows up in public, and even less often uses the Wanqi family's military force. Compared to her mother, she is very easy to get along with, and naturally, she will not offend her if she can avoid it.

Han Fei looked at the arrow soaked in medicine in his hand, but did not stop his action. He raised his hand to signal the guards to pull open the fence, wanting to see what Princess Zhang Hua intended to do.

A group of cavalry quickly entered the South Lane filled with fireworks. The thick fog obscured the stars and the moon, making the night even darker.

Outside the hut, the sound of arrows stopped, and Yin Xing immediately carried the bamboo basket out of the hut. The alley was empty and there was no one in sight, only debris and blood on the ground.

Yin Xing held the sword in both hands as a stick and walked through the path. In the silence, he suddenly heard a baby crying, and he was scared to death!

Alas, it seems that the honey is finished.

Just as Yin Xing put down the bamboo basket and wanted to pick up the child, he saw her face covered with blue and black bloodshot. He retreated in horror, feeling as if a thorn in his back.

What on earth am I carrying?!

At this time, several mad dogs ran out from the darkness, with blue-black liquid flowing from their mouths, their flesh and blood exposed all over their bodies, looking wild and bloody.

However, Yin Xing thought about the previous peace and thought that everything would be fine, so he said confidently: "Come on!"

Soon, Yin Xing's heart-wrenching cry came from the long alley: "Help, help!"

Yin Xing looked back at the child who was trying hard to climb behind several mad dogs, and felt that he was too stupid before.

When Yin Xing felt that he was about to run out of strength, he didn't expect the mad dogs to retreat, and he thought there was always a way out.

As a result, Yin Xing ran into a puppet with a bloody mouth head-on, and he felt a little crazy.

Yin Xing looked at the light in the distance that looked like fire and morning glow, drew his sword, and decided to fight to the death.

If he died, he would not be able to see Xuan Yizheng, so Yin Xing did not want to die.

When the morning sun slowly rose in the sky and the rays of light fell on the inside of the carriage, Xuan Yizheng turned the jade ring on his finger with his fingertips, feeling uneasy.

When the sound of horse hooves approached, the guard dismounted and said, "My lord, Prince Consort Yin is not in the South Lane."

The South Alley was filled with corpses. In the situation last night, even a martial arts master would have found it difficult to survive.

Xuan Yizhen raised his hand to open the curtain, lowered his eyes to look at the guards, and said angrily: "If you can't find it, bring your head to me!"

It was obvious that most of the searching bees were trapped in the South Lane, which meant that Yin Xing must have stayed there.

The guard's face changed drastically, and he had no choice but to lead the team back into the South Lane.

The eldest prince and generals such as Han Fei were mostly ordering the soldiers and guards to clean up the aftermath and cremate all the bodies.

Everyone in South Lane must be dealt with, otherwise there will be another fierce battle at night.

By noon, when the sun was high in the sky, everyone in the capital was aware of what had happened in South Lane the previous night. However, no further information was revealed. All they knew was that many bodies had been cremated, as if it were a disease or plague, and the matter was kept secret.

In a small wooden house deep in a southern alley, Jiang Yun needed to avoid the sunlight. He looked at Yin Xing, whose arm was bandaged with gauze, with an apologetic look in his eyes and said, "I think it would be better for me to take you back to the villa."

Yin Xing's face turned pale as he shook his head and replied, "No, if I go back I'll only cause trouble and scare her."

Yin Xing now remembers very clearly the terrifying appearance of those puppets last night.

If Xuan Yizhen saw this, she would definitely be scared. Yin Xing didn't want to embarrass her.

"Then I'll take you out of South Alley first. The soldiers are arresting people everywhere now. They will probably all be executed." Jiang Yun saw soldiers passing by the alley from time to time and felt something was wrong.

"Okay." Yin Xing responded, suppressing his frustration.

In the afternoon, a team of soldiers came out of the fence to change shifts. Yin Xing was a little flustered and raised his hand to hold the slightly large official hat. The heads of people in the capital were so big!

Just as Yin Xing was leaving the fences of South Lane, he suddenly heard the buzzing of bees. He waved his hands, but the bees still circled around him, and the sound was obvious.

Yin Xing noticed Jiang Yun's urging and just raised his legs to catch up with the guards.

Soon, Yin Xing and Jiang Yun left the team and went into the main street alleys to hide.

However, before Yin Xing and Jiang Yun could find something to eat, they saw a horse parked at the end of the alley.

Yin Xing recognized Xiaoguai and immediately saw the female officials and maids beside Xuan Yizhen, and his heart stopped for a moment.

Jiang Yun didn't expect Princess Zhang Hua to find Yin Xing so quickly, so he immediately decided to run away. He whispered, "Take care. I'll go get the antidote from Du Ruo for you. Don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun quickly disappeared from his sight. Yin Xing nervously walked out of the alley, completely unaware that he was so scared that he was at a loss for words. It was quite funny.

"Get in the carriage."

"Um."

Yin Xing rarely heard Xuan Yizheng's cold voice. His heart trembled, and he did not dare to hesitate to get on the carriage.

Then Yin Xing saw the pouch in Xuan Yizheng's hand, which looked familiar. He then realized that it was the item he thought he had lost last night.

The carriage was moving slowly. Xuan Yizhen looked at the dusty Yin Xing, his eyes fixed on her tucked-in hand, where a bandage was visible. He immediately raised his hand to hold her arm, revealing the bandage, and frowned, "How did you get injured?"

Yin Xing confessed in shock, "A lot of Du Ruo's puppets ran out of South Lane last night. I was accidentally bitten by one, but thanks to Jiang Yun I was fine."

"It's okay. Don't you know that this is a fatal infection?" Xuan Yizheng's voice was cold and rapid, and his fingers were gripping with great force.

Yin Xing's wound was bleeding from the pain, but he didn't dare to struggle. He just felt that Xuan Yi was really suffocating at the moment, and replied softly: "I know, I'm sorry."

In the silence, blood soaked the ring on Xuan Yizheng's finger and slowly dripped onto his clothes, which was shocking.

After a while, Xuan Yizheng slowly loosened his hand, and Yin Xing was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness.

For a long time, there was no sound in the carriage until it entered the courtyard.

Xuan Yizheng didn't say another word, and Yin Xing followed closely beside him without daring to speak.

It was also the first time that the female official Chunli saw Princess Zhanghua treat Prince Consort Yin so coldly. She ordered the maid to prepare all the utensils and carefully retreat to the inner room, not wanting to bring bad luck.

Yin Xing stood in the main room with the doors and windows closed, feeling extremely cold. He wondered if there was an ice storage underneath.

"Take off your clothes and get in the pool."

"Um."

Not to mention taking off clothes, even if Xuan Yizhen asked him to jump off a cliff, Yin Xing would not hesitate at all.

But when Yin Xing sank naked into the bathtub filled with ice water, he subconsciously wanted to jump out, so he had to press his palms on the edge of the pool.

Xuan Yizhen looked at the wet Yin Xing indifferently. Her eyelashes trembled, her lips were tightly pursed, and she was shivering from the cold, like a helpless fish. In her hand, she swung a sharp scimitar and asked calmly, as if she saw nothing, "Are you cold?"

Yin Xing nodded, looked up at Xuan Yizhen, whose eyes were cold and silent, and stammered, "It's cold, not really cold. I am willing to accept any punishment for making Yizhen angry and worried."

"But you are so naughty. I really don't like you and I hate you." Xuan Yizheng lifted Yin Xing's chin lightly with a scimitar in his hand, looking down at him with a frosty, cold and distant look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yin Xing was so scared that he dared not make a sound. He looked up at Xuan Yizheng, who was completely different from his usual self, and couldn't help feeling panic.

Hate, dislike, Xuan Yizhen would never say that about herself. Is she going to divorce herself?!
