Jiang You opened the lid of the incense burner and put out the incense burning inside.
But even if the incense is extinguished, the surrounding area has already been filled with such a fragrance, and I am afraid it will not dissipate for a long time.
Murong Xian only felt that the fragrance passed into his nostrils, easily defeating his consciousness. The more he tried to clearly see everything in front of him, the less clearly he could see it.
Jiang You didn't notice anything unusual about Murong Xian. She got up to check the weapons. This was a huge cave filled with all kinds of weapons. If these weapons were used on the battlefield, they would at least be safe.
Used by fifty thousand soldiers.
You must know that in Tianji, it is a serious crime to hide more than a hundred weapons privately.
Jiang You was thinking when she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Murong Xian stumbling towards her.
There was only one torch, so she couldn't actually see everything in the cave clearly, but she still felt that something was wrong with Murong Xian's expression.
It’s that fragrance!
Murong Xian was bewitched by that fragrance!
Jiang You saw Murong Xian rushing over and quickly dodged away. Murong Xian threw down the spears piled nearby, and the entire cave was filled with dust.
Jiangyou pursed her lips.
She understands.
The anonymous letter was written by Murong Xiu.
It can also be said that today's encounter was all planned by Murong Xiu.
Murong Xiu's purpose was very clear. Firstly, he wanted the prince's weapon pool to be dug out. Secondly, he wanted to plot against her and Murong Xian and ruin the brotherhood between Su Yan and Murong Xian. Killing two birds with one stone was really... enough
Vicious!
…
Imperial City.
Murong Xian had not returned for a long time, and the other princes soon found out.
Murong Xian's people searched Hongye Mountain but found nothing. Instead, the murder case at Shuanghan Xiaozhu disturbed the Criminal Department, which immediately took people to the scene.
As soon as the prince heard that the people from the Punishment Department had gone to Hongye Mountain, he immediately set off to Hongye Mountain. Suddenly, many people gathered in Shuanghan Xiaozhu.
As soon as the prince arrived, the Minister of Punishment immediately came forward to greet him.
A lot of people died at once, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice didn't take it seriously at first, but the people below reported that Shuanghan Xiaozhu was owned by the prince, and those who died were all servants of Shuanghan Xiaozhu, so that's not true
Are they the prince's people? The Minister of Punishment panicked and came over in person immediately. Just as he was watching, he heard that the prince had arrived.
The Minister of Punishment was very afraid that the prince would be angry, and even greeted him with trepidation.
The prince glanced at the crime scene and asked with an unkind expression: "What's going on?"
The Minister of Punishment wiped his cold sweat and said: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, this... this is still under investigation. The subordinate has just arrived, just arrived..."
The prince's eyes swept over him coldly, as if he was scolding "trash".
Before the prince could say anything, Murong Xiu and the fifth and sixth princes had already arrived.
As soon as the fifth prince came in and saw a group of dead people, he screamed: "What's going on? Why are there still dead people? What's the food here? How long have we been away? It's really... trash, trash!"
The fifth prince scolded the prince for all the things he had not said before. The Minister of Punishment lowered his head and did not dare to say anything out loud.
When the prince saw them coming, his expression softened a bit and asked: "Third brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, why are you here?"
The fifth prince waved his hand and said: "It's not the second brother! We all went back just now, and the second brother ran back without knowing what he was doing. Who knows what he did! It's been a long time, and he hasn't come back yet, so we
Let’s take a look together. What’s wrong? Isn’t the second brother here?”
The prince's eyes couldn't help but condense.
Murong Xian returned to Hongye Mountain, but no one was there?
Murong Xiu then said: "Brother Emperor, Miss Jiang has not gone back either."
The prince glanced at Murong Xiu and felt that there was something in Murong Xiu's words.
If it was just Murong Xian alone, he wouldn't think it was a big deal, but if Jiang You was added to the mix, it would be different... That girl was too smart, and she would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Who discovered the dead person first?" asked the fifth prince.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly said: "When I returned to Your Highness, the first thing I discovered was the city defense army. After the city defense army discovered these dead people, they immediately preserved the scene and reported the case to the Ministry of Punishment."
"City defense army? The city defense army has lost their minds. Why are they running to Hongye Mountain?" The fifth prince could not understand.
The Minister of Punishment was embarrassed for a while. He choked for a long time before he slowly said: "The young general of the city defense army said that it was because someone handed them a letter saying that His Highness had entered the mountain and had not come down yet, so they went up the mountain to look for him.
Your Highness, who would have thought that His Highness was not found? I saw this first..."
"Didn't they see the murderer?" the fifth prince asked.
"Not really." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice shook his head.
"Trash!" the fifth prince cursed again.
The prince only felt a sudden pain in his head, and everything was messy.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard the commotion outside. What was going on?
"Go and see who it is!" Murong Xiu frowned.
After he finished speaking, someone immediately left Shuanghan Xiaozhu to ask about the situation, but they came back within a short while.
"Your Highness, they are from the Luo Mansion. They say that the maid beside Miss Luo has not returned for a long time, and they have gone into the mountain to look for someone."
"Luo Mansion?" Murong Xiu's face darkened, and he turned to the prince and said, "Brother Prince, the people from the Luo Mansion went into the mountain to look for Miss Luo, but they told the outside world that she was a maid. This..."
"They went up the mountain?" the prince asked.
"Yes, we have already gone up the mountain."
The prince clenched his fists and said with a somewhat ugly expression: "Let's go and have a look."
There was a murder here, and a series of events came together. It couldn't be that coincidental. Someone might want to take away his weapon pool. However, he had nothing to be afraid of. After all, his weapon pool did not reveal anything about him.
Even if someone finds a flaw in his identity, it doesn't matter.
However, what the prince is more worried about is... who caused this incident. He thought he was hiding it well and could not be discovered!
The prince went up the mountain, and the others quickly followed.
Murong Xiu naturally followed, hiding a sneer on his lips.
Because the formation had been destroyed, the climb up the mountain was smooth. The prince and others followed the traces of those in front until they reached the back mountain.
The closer he got to the back mountain, the uglier his face became.
It was really discovered!
This is probably what the prince had in mind.
When they arrived outside the mountain wall where the weapons were hidden, they saw many people from the Luo Mansion gathering at the door.
Those in Luofu were talking a lot.
"Why can't this door be opened? It should be inside, right?"
"I don't know. Look for it quickly. There must be some mechanism here. Open it first and then go inside."
"I hope everything is safe and sound, look for it, look for it quickly..."
These people looked around but could not find the entrance.
Seeing how stupid these servants were, the fifth prince stepped forward and angrily mentioned the underground stone array and complained: "A bunch of brainless people, these stones are so obvious, are you blind?"
Everyone: "..."
Then, only a rumble was heard, and the door on the mountain wall opened.
