Lin Jiuxi has also been searching around the city recently for a secret room that could connect to the back mountain of the temple outside the city, but she found nothing and she became a little anxious.

But the more anxious you are, the harder it is to find it. Fortunately, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and the people Nangong Jing left with Lin Jiuxi work very quickly.

The next morning, the gates of Yuzhou City and Baihuzhou were suddenly closed. Once you entered the city, you could not leave! When you could leave again, it depended on when the city lords of the two cities gave the order? The people in the city were unwilling to do this, and they all made a lot of noise in the streets, blocking the city gates and refusing to leave.

But all this was arranged by Lin Jiuxi, and even Liu Yuan didn't dare to resist, let alone ask any more questions.

The secret guards sent by the emperor to Yuzhou City, as well as the people sent by Li Mao, were unable to get out now. If the people were anxious, then they were even more anxious.

In the backyard of Baihuzhou Mansion, Lin Jiuxi hadn't even gotten up yet when she heard the maidservant who was serving her start to chatter! "Princess, Princess, please come out quickly, something big has happened!"

The maid Lu Cao was at the door, knocking and shouting.

Lin Jiuxi yawned and sat up from the bed, "What's the matter, so early in the morning?"

Lu Cao quickly opened the door and said in a panic, "I just went out to buy something and saw a commotion on the street. I asked and found out why the city gates have not been opened today. Some people even said that the city lord ordered the city gates to be closed, and the people were talking about it."

It was Lin Jiuxi who ordered the city gates to be closed. When he heard what Lu Cao said, he could only pretend to be surprised and asked, "Then what else did you hear?"

"I also heard that, um, they said that they seemed to be closed for the next few days. Some people also said that they found a killer last night, so the city gates were closed today. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Lin Jiuxi shrugged and said, "What's the point of me being anxious?"

Lu Cao couldn't help but get angry and said, "Because the streets are so chaotic today, I couldn't buy what I wanted. Princess, don't go out these few days. It's too chaotic outside!"

Lin Jiuxi nodded: "I understand, I won't go out."

But he secretly thought that Nangong Jing's people were working very quickly and it was time to move on to the next step tomorrow!

Late at night, all the maids in Lin Jiuxi's place went downstairs to rest. She came to the study alone. Ah Wu was already waiting there, as well as two secret guards who had returned from Yuzhou City and two secret guards in Baihuzhou City.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Jiuxi asked, "Did you find any suspicious people in Baihuzhou City today?"

Except for Awu, the other four people shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

The emperor's men and Li Mao's men have not been found in Baihuzhou yet, which means they haven't noticed this place yet, and their target is still in Yuzhou City. In this case, let them eliminate future troubles.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuxi looked at Ah Wu again and asked, "How did you check the situation of the temple?"

Speaking of the secret room behind the temple, Ah Wu became excited.

"Princess, I am not sure yet that there are no other dangers in that secret room, and it does not seem to be left by our dynasty. It has been a few years, and I have to continue exploring. It may take a few more days to find the entrance connecting Baihuzhou and Yuzhou City."

Lin Jiuxi felt that this opportunity was rare and he couldn't wait. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's put the temple matter aside for now. I'm going back to my room to change clothes. We'll go to Yuzhou City overnight. While those two teams haven't found the prince and the army yet, we'll deal with them in advance!"

The five people nodded immediately and agreed with Lin Jiuxi's approach.

Lin Jiuxi went back to the house and changed into night clothes. The six of them rode their horses and headed straight for the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, Lin Jiuxi showed the token that Nangong Jing had left for her when she left. After the gatekeeper saw it, he opened the city gate and let them out. After traveling all night, they arrived at Yuzhou City when the sky was slightly bright. Lin Jiuxi and his party hid their horses as soon as they entered Yuzhou City and went directly to Liu Yuan's house.

At this time, Liu Yuan was also preparing to write a letter to Nangong Jing, wanting to ask why the city was suddenly closed and whether something had happened. However, before the letter was sent, it was snatched away by Ah Wu.

When Lin Jiuxi looked up, he was startled and said in a panic, "Princess, didn't you go to Baihuzhou? Why are you here?"

Lin Jiuxi opened the letter from Ah Wu's hand, saw the contents, tore it to pieces in a few seconds, and said, "I'm here to help you solve your problem, sir!"

Liu Yuan didn't understand what Lin Jiuxi meant and felt a little panicked. The city gate was clearly closed, so how did Lin Jiuxi get in?

Lin Jiuxi had been traveling all night and was almost dying of thirst. She poured herself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp and said, "Master Liu, don't worry anymore. I was the one who sealed the city. The prince didn't know about it. It's useless for you to write to him."

Liu Yuan was even more shocked when he heard this, and asked tremblingly: "What do you mean by this, Princess? Could it be that the prince..."

Because he was too nervous, he did not understand the meaning of Lin Jiuxi's words. He thought Nangong Jing was in danger and had an expression as if he was about to face a disaster. Lin Jiuxi really wanted to beat him to death.

But at this moment, a voice came from outside Liu Yuan's uncle's room. It was his wife coming. Lin Jiuxi wanted to hide, but she heard another voice, that of Lord Liu's daughter Zhenzhen.

Lin Jiuxi remembered that when he left Yuzhou City, he heard the servants in the mansion say that Liu Zhenzhen would be confined for three months. Now, less than half a month has passed and she has been released. Could it be that it was done for the prince to see? Thinking of this, Lin Jiuxi sat down swaggeringly, not in a hurry to hide, and said to Liu Yuan: "I still have something to discuss with you, sir, you can deal with the situation outside by yourselves!"

After saying that, he shook his head at Ah Wu and the others, meaning that they should move aside first. After all, they couldn't be exposed in front of outsiders now.

The five men took the order and immediately disappeared.

Liu Yuan was almost scared to death when he saw this scene in front of him: "How about arranging for the princess to go to the guest room to rest first, and then discuss things later?"

Lin Jiuxi shook his head and said, "This matter is very important and must be discussed now. Please hurry up, sir!"

,

Seeing that Lin Jiuxi was so persistent, Liu Yuan could only shout from outside the door: “Wu still has some things to deal with, let’s talk about it later!”
