In the palace of Prince Gui, under the five claws of the stone dragon, there is a grand stone pavilion built.

The second prince and He Wucheng sat in it, the pavilion came down, and the guards Youlei and the old man in gray stood silently at the door, one left and one right.

He Wucheng turned sideways slightly, asked the maid beside him to make tea for the second prince, and spoke first:

"This time your highness went on a trip, only two second-grade guards?"

The second prince took the maid's tea and gave it a sip, then slowly spoke:

"This time I went out of the palace to find a gift for my father, so naturally I know that the fewer people, the better. As my personal bodyguard, no one doubted that I would run so far."

After saying that, the second prince glanced at the outside of the pavilion and said lightly: "Aren't you so low-key?"

He Wucheng did not drink tea. At this moment, he sat aside, supported his knees with his hands and said, "That's natural. What Your Highness ordered this time is really difficult. I did not inform any of my father's shadow guards, all of which were my people doing."

When the second prince heard this, he put down the teacup, put an arm on the stone table and said, "There will be no mistakes, right?"

He Wucheng smiled, patted his chest and said:

"A Wu is not at ease with you? I really have lost a lot of effort in that thing. I finally smuggled a small one from my brother. Now it is hidden in a side courtyard at the foot of the mountain. I have my people guarding it, so you can rest assured."

Looking at He Wucheng's confident appearance, a trace of fault suddenly flashed in the second prince's heart, and he couldn't help asking: "What are your guards' strengths."

"They are all in the God Transformation Realm, and the leader is the second-grade jade skeleton, and my Deadpool."

The second prince subconsciously twisted the jade ring on his hand and murmured: "The strength is slightly insufficient..."

Seeing that the second prince was worried, He Wucheng sighed lightly and suggested, "If your Highness doesn't mind, Wu Cheng will take you to take that thing now."

“Okay.”

The second prince stood up and walked out of the pavilion first.

"I have a bad premonition in my heart."

...

Walking down the mountain, He Wucheng and the second prince walked side by side, and could overlook the entire view of the city that never sleeps.

The horizon is already a little white, and it will be dawn soon.

"Awu, why do you say that you are the sons of King Gui? Are you so cautious when embezzling a jade pearl?"

The second prince suddenly spoke and asked in a joking tone.

He Wucheng was stunned and immediately shrugged and answered helplessly:

"Your Highness doesn't know that this jade pearl is the most precious thing of my father. He even personally took action to kill the first-class master who tried to steal. If it weren't for the extremely rare, Your Highness wouldn't have thought of using the jade pearl as a birthday gift to the emperor."

"As for why I am cautious... I'm going to tell you, if the father knows that you stuffed a piece of it secretly, your highness is fine, I'm afraid I'll be lying on the bed for a year or two."

The second prince smiled and said softly: "It's okay, if things go well, I will give you what I promised you."

“It will go smoothly.”

Soon, a few people came to the jungle under the mountainside. At this moment, the light column in the city slowly dissipated, and the hazy sky light fell, and the sky began to dawn.

A small courtyard also appeared in sight.

"not good!"

"Oops!"

The voices of Youlei and Uncle Xian sounded at the same time. As soon as the words fell, Uncle Xian disappeared from the spot. Youlei posed in a combat posture and protected the second prince.

"What's wrong?" The second prince frowned, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, there is a strong smell of blood in front of you." You Lei replied in a deep voice. At this time, he forgot to shout out the master's orders outside, and the situation seemed to be very urgent.

"What!?" He Wucheng was shocked when he heard this, and ran forward while emitting spiritual consciousness.

The second prince sighed and followed Youlei's guard and ran up.

When He Wucheng came to the courtyard, he immediately felt dark when he saw the scene in front of him.

The yard was bleeding all over the ground, and several corpses were tilted and erected on the ground, all of whom were killed by throat cutting. There was no sign of fighting at the scene. The guards didn't even have time to pull out the knife, and the pupils outside the veil stared at them, dying with their eyes closed.

"Grass...grass!"

He Wucheng roared angrily and rushed towards the inner room.

In the room, Uncle Xian stood silently beside the middle-aged soldier who was covered in blood and died of anger. After seeing He Wucheng coming in, he shook his head helplessly.

Like the outer courtyard, there were no traces of fighting in this room. Although the middle-aged soldier's big sword was pulled out half, it seemed to have the intention of resisting, the fatal sword wound on his neck and chest broke his vitality in a very short time.

The second prince rushed in, and he didn't need anyone else to say this scene, he understood everything.

He Wucheng wiped his face hard and tried to calm down. He pointed to the corpse and said in a trembling voice: "Who is it that dares to make my guard like this."

Uncle Xian's vicissitudes of life sounded and analyzed: "The sword-style move was fatal. Commander Guo and the people outside the house also had no chance to fight back. They should have been killed at close range without any precautions."

Seeing He Wucheng supporting the table with his hands and his chest was undulating, Uncle Xian comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad."

"I'm sad about fucking head!"

He Wucheng kicked the soldier's body away after hearing this, and shouted with a red face: "Look for it! You must find this person even if you dig three feet into the ground. I will crush his bones and raise them ashes with my own hands!"

Uncle Xian replied: "The body is still warm, and the murderer has probably just left. He suggested that the prince command the Yingwei to seal the city. It is not yet Chen Shi, and the pier has not opened yet..."

"What else can you say? Go quickly!" He Wucheng seized the opportunity and hurriedly spoke.

When the old man in gray heard this, he immediately disappeared like the wind.

He Wucheng was panting and then remembered that there were others in the room. He turned around and looked at the second prince embarrassedly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The second prince gently twisted his finger and looked at the empty table, his cold expression made He Wucheng panic.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this murderer can't escape."

The second prince's lips moved slightly, and finally he glanced at him coldly, then turned around without saying a word and walked out of the house.

...

In the city that never sleeps, ships are not allowed to travel between the Chou and Mao.

Moreover, because the three A-level jade pearls in the city are scattered in various parts of the mountain, they are forbidden areas on the mountain at night, and all mountain roads are blocked and guarded by the First-Pin Shadow Guard himself.

Therefore, as long as the city is closed before Chen Shi, the murderer will never leave easily.

Because of the lockdown, the city never sleeps and is noisy, and a person is sleeping in a warm inn in the city.

Suddenly, Song Zhi's slender eyelashes moved slightly, and he exclaimed lightly, and opened his eyes reluctantly.

【bite!】
