The man was about to take the attack, but when he heard the sound, he retreated rapidly and landed on a big tree behind him.
Ye Qianning missed her target and looked up to see a dark figure landing on a tree trunk not far away. Her eyes suddenly sank.
Although it was night, she recognized the person not far away at a glance - Prince Xiyan, Xiliuyuan!
"Miss Xiang has great skills." Xiliuyuan said lightly.
Ye Qianning was filled with murderous intent and stared at him coldly: "It was you who took the Eighth Prince away?"
The envoy team from Xiyan should be about to leave Beili at this time, but the people she sent to keep an eye on them did not report back the news of Xiliuyuan's departure.
"No." Xiliuyuan said.
"It's not Xiyan that's on Dongyi's side. I didn't expect Xiyan to cooperate with Dongyi. What benefits did they promise Xiyan?" Ye Qianning was very sure at this time.
Since Prince Xiyan appears here, Prince Dongyi must be here too.
Each one that escapes is better than the last!
Xiliuyuan was silent.
"I must save that person today, let's do it." Ye Qianning didn't have time to waste.
Xi Liuyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "My little prince has always been curious as to why someone like you is so concerned about the Eighth Prince."
"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Qianning raised his knife and went forward.
Xiliuyuan looked at the oncoming sword without dodging or avoiding it, nor did he attack. He just asked slowly, "I heard that the location of Penglai Fairy Mountain is hidden in a person's eyes."
Ye Qianning's knife suddenly stopped when it touched his skin, with shock in his eyes: "What did you say?"
"People like you always put profit first in everything they do. The Eighth Prince has no status, yet you protect him so much. Don't you know the secret of his eyes a long time ago?" Xiliuyuan said lightly, not caring at all about the knife on his neck.
Ye Qianning suddenly thought of Yuan Yintang's expression in Xiangxue Garden today: excitement, shock, excitement and disbelief. This was what he wanted to tell Emperor Beili.
Is there Penglai Mountain hidden in Sang Zhi's eyes?
She observed carefully and found that there was a layer covering her eyes. If she removed it and treated it with medicine, there would be a high chance of seeing colors again. Penglai Fairy Mountain?
"Nonsense!" she said coldly.
"So you didn't know. It seems Xiao Wang thinks you are too materialistic."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to live, tell the Eighth Prince where he is." Ye Qianning tightened his grip on the sword, his eyes fierce.
It was as if if he said no, the big knife would cut off his head in an instant.
Xi Liuyuan felt the biting cold, but remained calm: "You are so violent at such a young age. The sword is not suitable for you."
Ye Qianning increased the weight of the knife handle, and the sharp blade cut his neck, oozing bright red blood.
"Master." The shadow guard exclaimed.
"For a prince who was not favored at all, you killed the Crown Prince of Xiyan and provoked a war between the two countries. You cannot bear such a crime, and the General's Mansion cannot bear it, and Beili cannot bear it even more." Xiliuyuan's voice was as cold as usual.
Ye Qianning hesitated slightly as she held the broadsword in her hand, not because of the consequences he mentioned, but because she smelled a strong smell of blood coming from the top of Broken Peak.
It's not the smell of human, but the smell of animal blood.
"roar--"
A tiger roar that broke through the sky came from the sky, the sound was deafening.
Ye Qianning put away his sword and looked up at the sky.
"The person you are looking for is at the top of the Broken Peak, three kilometers to the left and directly below the Broken Peak." Xiliuyuan also looked up.
Ye Qianning didn't even look at him again. After getting the news, he took out the rope from his sleeve and used the force to paddle towards the other side of the broken peak.
"The favor Xi Yan owes us is now settled." Xiliuyuan said coldly as he looked at the receding figure.
"Master, your injury." The shadow guard landed in front of him.
"No problem."
"Master..." The shadow guard hesitated to speak.
"Are you wondering why this prince trusts her so much?"
"Yes." The shadow guard responded.
If they could have stopped her when she attacked just now, the master would have benefited from it. But now, with the knife at the master's neck, no matter how fast she attacked, if she had the intention to kill, no one could stop her.
Without the master's permission, they dare not take action.
"It's not that I trust you, I just suddenly want to take a gamble." Xiliuyuan said.
The shadow guard was horrified: "It's really too risky."
Gambling, if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous...
"The result is obvious." Xiliuyuan stared at that party and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Master, tell her where Dongyi is hiding. If Dongyi gets the map, I'm afraid he won't reveal it to Xiyan."
"This prince never said he wanted to cooperate with Dongyi. This is all just their self-righteousness. If the secret of Penglai Fairy Mountain could be known so easily, how could the world have searched for it for thousands of years in vain?"
"Master, are you saying that Dongyi's news is false?"
"Half truth, half lie."
Everyone has selfish desires, so how could Dongyi be so unreserved about such important matters?
It is really not cost-effective to cooperate with Dongwei.
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Go up the mountain to watch the show."
Xiliuyuan tiptoed over the broken peak and headed upwards.
The shadow guard understood what his master meant and flew after him.
——
Inside Kyoto City.
A large number of Jinyiwei surrounded the general's mansion, and all the people in the mansion were escorted to the Sky Prison and strictly interrogated.
This news caused an uproar throughout the city of Kyoto.
Marquis Xiang Ming was not at home, and the emperor suddenly ordered the detention of all the people in the mansion and sealed off the mansion. Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether Marquis Xiang Ming had colluded with the enemy and rebelled while arresting bandits.
After all, everyone knew what kind of bandits and dignitaries were being arrested, and it was rumored that the leader was still Xiang Minghou's former subordinate.
Behead the family.
Zhan Yi and Madam Zhan were shocked when they heard the news, and their heads were buzzing as they listened to the report from below.
"How is this possible? What enemy is the General's Mansion collaborating with? What country is it betraying?" Zhan Yi was horrified and subconsciously thought that the secret of hiding Xifengying had been exposed.
"I'm still not sure about this. I heard that everyone in the General's Mansion was imprisoned in the Sky Prison and interrogated."
Mrs. Zhan felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"Madam." Zhan Yi hurriedly supported her.
"Where is Fatty... Fatty Tuan? How is she..." Madam Zhan asked anxiously.
Zhan Yi looked at the servant who reported back.
"Miss Xiang isn't at home, but I heard a child rode through the city gate just after noon. Some people said it was Miss Xiang."
"How could Fatty break into the city gate..."
"Master, Dean Chen is here."
"Please come in."
Zhan Yi helped Madam Zhan sit down and stood up to greet her.
Dean Chen came in hurriedly.
"Dean Chen, you also know that the general's mansion has been sealed? Do you know the reason?" Zhan Yi asked.
Dean Chen's face was also filled with anxiety. "I just obeyed and colluded with the enemy and harmed the country. I don't know what exactly happened. I prepared to go to the palace as soon as I heard the news, but the emperor issued an imperial decree that no one would be seen, even those who pleaded for mercy."
Zhan Yi was silent for a moment, then realized that disaster was imminent: "Even during the Qian Prime Minister incident, the Emperor didn't do this. I'm afraid this will be even worse."
"Master, Prime Minister Qian and Mr. Gu request an audience."
"Dean Chen, Master Zhan, what on earth is going on?"
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Mr. Gu and Qian Fu rushed into the mansion and went to the hall.
"We don't know, but it could be something serious." Zhan Yi repeated what Dean Chen had just said, adding, "I heard that Fatty Tuan broke through the city gate and left. We don't know what he did. The soldiers at the city gate are searching for him."
"Could it be that some secret information was sent back to Marquis Ming? So the emperor suspected that he was suspected of treason? The little girl was anxious to leave the city to find her father?" Old Gu guessed.
Dean Chen shook his head: "The little girl is not such an impulsive person. She must be very anxious about something and cannot afford to lose even a moment, so she broke into the city gate."
"What exactly is going on?" Zhan Yi pondered.
"After Fatty left the city, my Gu family caravan saw the Qian family boy, the Gu family boy, and the Zhan family boy also hurried out of the city." Old Gu said again.
"They might know something. Alas, these three haven't sent anyone back with a single message, leaving us anxious."
"I heard that the little girl was invited into the palace this morning. Perhaps Concubine Zhan knows something about what happened. I wonder if the Zhan family has seen Concubine Zhan." Dean Chen looked at Madam Zhan.
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhan immediately stood up from her chair and said, "I will go to the palace to find the imperial concubine."
"Dean Chen."
When the impatient voice fell, Du Yi, dressed in black plain clothes, appeared in front of everyone.
"Are you the little girl who was assigned to guard Du Yi beside the Eighth Prince?" Dean Chen was a little confused.
"Yes, subordinate."
"What happened in the palace today?" Dean Chen asked anxiously.
"Today, around noon, someone pretended to be the eldest lady and tricked the eighth prince out of the palace. When the eldest lady learned about this, she hurried out of the palace. Before leaving the palace, she instructed my subordinates to keep an eye on Concubine Yuan's senior brother Yuan Yintang. My subordinates discovered something very important not far from the imperial study. This matter concerns the eldest lady and the entire general's mansion." Du Yi's face was stern.
"Is he plotting a rebellion against Marquis Ming?" Zhan Yi didn't take the fact that the eighth prince left the city to heart.
"The map of Penglai Mountain is hidden in the eyes of the Eighth Prince."
When Du Yi said this, everyone present was shocked.
For a moment the scene became quiet and eerie.
"How...how is it possible, the eighth prince's eyes...how is it possible...?" It took Mr. Gu a long time to find his voice.
Zhan Yi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, his eyes bulged out.
Qian Fu lowered his eyes in shock, and after thinking carefully he knew why the emperor was so shocked. At the same time the emperor learned about the Penglai Fairy Mountain, the eighth prince inexplicably left the palace and his whereabouts were unknown.
The little girl also left the palace at this time, and it was obvious that she was used by someone with ulterior motives to make trouble. The emperor concluded that it was the little girl who took the eighth prince away, which made him so angry.
"The news came from Yuan Yintang. The Eighth Prince left the palace, and Concubine Yuan blamed the eldest daughter for the crime. The emperor was furious and ordered the General's Mansion to be closed. He also sent Yuan Yintang to the military camp to select 3,000 troops to go out of the city to search for the Eighth Prince. Anyone who interferes will be killed without mercy, except for the Eighth Prince." Du Yi knelt down and said, "Please ask Dean Chen to send someone out of the city to rescue the eldest daughter."
Except for the eighth prince, kill them all?
Qian Fu, Zhan Yi, Mr. Gu, and Dean Chen all changed their expressions when they heard these words.
