East Palace.

In the main hall.

Zhu Biao sat on the couch, frowning slightly, looking thoughtful.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Xiao Qi walked in quickly.

"how?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, under the heavy bounty offered by the Marquis of Jiu'an, led by the Ministry of War and the Capital Military and Horse Division, many people were arrested, and almost the entire West Street was controlled. However, it seems that nothing was found."

"Moreover, it seems that Marquis Jiu'an has no intention of arresting anyone at random and has already released all those he captured."

Xiao Qi bowed his hands and replied slowly.

Hearing Xiao Qi's answer, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown, and his face became more solemn.

"Your Highness, is it possible that Marquis Jiu'an didn't understand your intention?"

Xiao Qi hesitated and asked slowly.

"No, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to understand the intention."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said.

"Then why didn't he do what His Highness wanted?"

Xiao Qi asked puzzledly.

"Maybe he doesn't want to disappoint me."

"With his character, he will not make compromises easily."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said thoughtfully, with a look of approval between his brows.

"By the way, just after the incident on West Street was concluded, Marquis Jiu'an sent everyone again. It seems that they all went to the Huitong Hall. It seems that they found some other clues."

Xiao Qi nodded hesitantly, then remembered something and said with sudden realization.

"I hope so."

Zhu Biao frowned and said expectantly.

...

Huitong Hall.

Front yard main hall.

Hu Fei was sitting on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand, waiting for any good news to come back.

At this time, the Huitong Hall had already been tightly sealed, and Tang Duo and Luo Ping were questioning everyone inside.

If the so-called bandits are really hiding in Huitong Hall, they will definitely leave some clues.

During this period, Kuroda Yoshitaka was dissatisfied with the people in the mission being questioned and clamored to ask him to investigate, but he refused every time.

At this moment, suddenly a member of the Jinyi Guards rushed into the Huitong Hall and came to the main hall.

"Report to the commander, we have discovered the whereabouts of bandits in the city. Governor Mu has already led people to chase them, and I have specially ordered a humble official to come and report!"

The man bowed hastily and said loudly.

Upon hearing the report, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt could not help but flash between his brows.

Is my inference wrong?!

Hu Fei frowned, looking puzzled.

"Lord Commander?"

Seeing that Hu Fei had no reaction, the man said something tentatively.

"Give me my order and everyone will follow me to hunt down the robbers!"

Hu Fei dropped the tea cup, said something in a deep voice, and ordered loudly.

At this point, he had no time to think about it in detail, so he could only go and find out first.

Following Hu Fei's order, Pei Jie, Luo Ping and others immediately followed Hu Fei and left the hall, leaving Tang Duo alone to continue questioning the remaining people one by one.

Soon, Hu Fei led everyone to follow the man to the place where the bandit's whereabouts were exposed, but Mu Ping had already taken the people and disappeared.

"Lord Commander, this is where the bandits were discovered."

"But..."

Looking at the deserted streets, the subordinate explained nervously.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement not far away, and it sounded like someone was shouting about pursuit.

"there!"

Pei Jie calmed down, pointed to the direction from which the sound came, and said hurriedly.

"Immediate support!"

Hu Fei glanced in that direction and said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jie and Luo Ping rushed in that direction with their own people.

But just as the two of them were leading people away quickly, a black figure suddenly flashed across the roof on one side of the street!

"who?!"

Ye Qing gave a sharp shout, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and stood guard by Hu Fei's side.

At this time, the only people left beside Hu Fei were the Golden Cavalry Guards headed by Ye Qing and Chun Die who had been following Hu Fei!

For some reason, Hu Fei suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, the black figure had disappeared.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of piercing the air, and three diamond-shaped dark darts shot towards Hu Fei who was sitting on the horse like lightning!

"Protect the young master!"

Spring Die shouted sharply, jumped up, instantly pulled out the short knife, swung it out like lightning, and knocked down all three hidden darts to the ground!

At the same time, the black figure had appeared on the roof on the other side!

There is an assassin!

Immediately afterwards, three more diamond-shaped darts were fired at Hu Fei!

Ye Qing waved his long knife and shot down three darts again!

At the same time, the killer may realize that he has no chance to take action, so he turns around and disappears into the night.

"Chase!"

Ye Qing gritted his teeth, shouted, and immediately chased out with the Golden Cavalry Guard!

He would never allow someone to assassinate the young master in front of him, and yet escape unscathed!

As Ye Qing led his men to chase them out, only Hu Fei and Chundie were left on the street.

Boundless darkness instantly enveloped the two of them, the surroundings were silent, and no movement could be heard anymore.

The uneasy feeling in Hu Fei's heart suddenly became extremely strong. He frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on Jiu Qianhan around his waist.

At this moment, a slight noise suddenly reached Hu Fei's ears, and then a black figure suddenly shot out from the roof on the other side of the street!

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

"Master, be careful!"

Chundie shouted, and without any time to think, she jumped up with a short knife and faced the black shadow directly!

As a cold light flashed, the black-clothed killer also drew his sword and slashed directly at Chundie's Tianling!

The moves are as fast as lightning!

Chundie had no time to make a move, so she could only block with a horizontal sword!

But then, in mid-air, the Spring Butterfly let out a muffled grunt from the bottom up, and its body flew backwards involuntarily, falling heavily!

The opponent is too strong!

Seeing this scene, Hu Fei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face couldn't help but darken!

Immediately afterwards, the killer's momentum continued unabated, and he rushed towards Hu Fei again, as if a person was in mid-air without any force at all, his movements were weird!

Seeing the killer swing out his knife, it struck directly at Hu Fei's throat!

At this critical moment, a burst of dragon roar sounded. Hu Fei instantly pulled out Jiu Qianhan and swung it out with all his strength!

The sound of gold and iron clashing instantly sounded!

Then he saw that the knife in the killer's hand had been broken into two pieces!

The killer seemed to have anticipated this change. He threw the remaining half of the knife in the direction of Chundie. Then he pressed the ground with one foot and shot out again, rushing towards Hu Fei!
