After Ah Qin said that the prefect's mansion was ahead, Chierda and Yueyan immediately looked at Su Mu with suspicion.
Su Mu also immediately understood that Ah Qin thought that the disappearance of Tang Xiaohao, Xiao Lingdang and Baomeng was just a drama. Even if it was not a drama, Su Mu still wanted to lure them to the prefect's mansion and then call the Tiangan Army to deal with Ah Qin and others.
Su Mu said coldly: "Use your brain and think about it now. If I can think of a way to make Princess Consort disappear from the room, why don't you go with them? Why do I have to stay here to act with you? ?I can definitely lead my troops back to surround you!?"
Ah Qin let go of Su Mu after hearing this. Su Mu made sense. If this was a show, Su Mu had no need to stay.
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard, and A Qin and others immediately dodged and hid in the darkness, and then saw a sentinel of armored guards galloping past the street.
As the team of armored guards galloped past, a smile appeared on Su Mu's face.
After the sound of horse hooves faded away, Ah Qin and others walked out of the darkness and looked in the direction of the Prefect's Mansion.
Ah Qin asked: "Their breath really went to the direction of the Prefect's Mansion?"
Su Mu said: "I have no need to lie to you."
Ah Qin stood there deep in thought. She was thinking of countermeasures quickly, because both Baomeng and Tang Xiaohao were very important to the Gujun. No matter who among them disappeared, the mission would be declared a failure.
What's more, Ah Qin also had to supervise a special goods transaction on behalf of Gu Jun as a third party, which Ah Qin only learned about after returning to Liangcheng.
The messenger sent by Gujun’s upper class told Ah Qin that the Huayuan Nanrong family would sell a batch of special goods to the Tuoersi Department through the Kang family in Liangcheng. This transaction was not facilitated by Gujun, but the Tuoersi Department had already It was negotiated with the Nanrong family that due to the current critical situation, the Torsi Department could not send anyone else to receive the goods, and could only let Wanhu Bojin Chierda receive it.
Therefore, in addition to helping the Torsi tribe bring Baomeng back to Rouyuan, Ah Qin also had to escort this special batch of goods across the Wulian Mountains and into Rouyuan.
Only then did Ah Qin understand why she had been ordered to take Baomeng and his party back to Liangcheng first. However, Ah Qin also knew the dangers of Wulian Mountain and believed that it was unrealistic to transport large quantities of goods over Wulian Mountain.
Gujun Xinke informed Ah Qin that the Tuoersi Department also wanted to keep it secret about what the original deal between the Tuoersi Department and the Nanrong family was. However, Gujun was unwilling to be kept in the dark and insisted that it would not escort it if it was not informed. Therefore, the Torsi Department could only tell them that what they were transporting was a Guijia and an Elf.
After hearing this, Ah Qin finally understood why Chi Erda could get those two Gui armored monsters and a large number of Gui corpses when he made a surprise attack on Rouyuan Palace. In doing so, the Nanrong family wanted to show off their power to the Tuoersi tribe. Possess the ability to create and control Guijia.
Guijia is now like a mysterious weapon sold by the Nanrong family to the Torsi Department, and before selling it, the Torsi Department needs to see the power of this weapon.
In other words, Wanhu Bojinchi Erda came with two tasks from the beginning, but he kept concealing the transaction.
Ah Qin actually broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the news brought by Xinke. Let alone the purpose and reason why Lone Army intervened in this matter, if this matter is known to the alien society, then Lone Army will become the whole alien party. The enemy of the Tao, because now the biggest enemy of the different Tao is Guijia, in order to prevent the spread of Guijia on the Jiuyuan land.
However, the lonely army actually escorted Guijia to Rouyuan even though they knew that the Nanrong family was raising Guijia and that they wanted to trade Guijia to the Torsi tribe.
There is another point that worries Ah Qin, and that is why they have to go through the Kang family in Liangcheng? Is it because the Kang family has been doing business with the Tuoersi Department? No, no, it is because the Kang family knows that it is safe to travel between
The secret passage between Rouyuan and Ruiyuan.
Ah Qin never thought that things would become so complicated. In her opinion, the upper management of Gujun were either crazy or were controlled by Guijia. Otherwise, how could they make such a mindless decision?
It happened that at this juncture, the princess and her consort disappeared mysteriously, and they disappeared in the stronghold of the lonely army in Liangcheng.
This made Ah Qin, who had always been calm, become anxious and subconsciously asked: "What should we do now?"
Su Mu felt that Ah Qin's aura had become disordered, but he also knew that if he attacked the lone army or the stronghold now, it might cause conflicts between the already peaceful court and the different sects. Therefore, Su Mu could only
Be able to take risks and speak your mind.
Su Mu said: "Miss Ah Qin, this matter is too strange. You people from the heretic should be experts in this aspect, and my duty is to protect the princess and the prince-in-law. We have a consensus on this matter."
Ah Qin said coldly: "I know this without you saying it. I'm asking you what should you do?"
As soon as Ah Qin finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. Just when she was about to take action, a long knife was already placed across her throat. The person holding the knife was none other than Qingmu, and Chi next to her
Erda and Yueyan were also restrained by two other assassins.
The three assassins who appeared so quietly were so frightened that Chierda didn't even come back to her senses, and Yueyan also took a breath of air.
Ah Qin realized that he had been too panicked before and had not noticed these people coming from the darkness.
Of course, Ah Qin also knew that even if she noticed it, she could avoid it, but Yueyan and Chierda would be hopeless, because these three people are obviously well-trained assassins, and they are the kind of people who will show no mercy.
A neat assassin.
It was Aoki who had led the armored sentry team galloping through the streets earlier.
Aoki didn't actually see Aqin, Aoki and others hiding in the darkness, but because they were both Sashiko, Aoki and Sumu sensed each other's aura.
Therefore, Aoki would ride away on horseback and then return with two Sashiko.
In the current situation, it seems that Aoki and the other three Sashiko have the upper hand, but Aoki's Spirit Skull Lantern has landed on top of Aoki's head. Although the lantern just opened its mouth, Aoki has already felt the message from the Spirit Skull Lantern's mouth.
The smell of death comes.
Aoki naturally knew it very well, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Su Mu said at this time: "Miss Ah Qin, calm down."
Su Mu knew very well that the Spirit Skull Lantern was not an ordinary object. In his eyes, it was even a monster. He was afraid that the Spirit Skull Lantern would bite off Aoki's head in one bite.
Facing the long knife across his neck, Ah Qin was terrifyingly calm: "You should let your three friends calm down."
Sumu looked at Aoki, who slowly put away the knife. The other two Sashiko also put away the knife, and then disappeared into the darkness, but they did not leave, but changed their positions to make it easier if it happened again.
Conflicts can occur unexpectedly.
They are assassins and have nothing to do with fairness.
Su Mu said at this time: "Miss Ah Qin, can you let us chat alone?"
Ah Qin simply said: "Please do it."
Su Mu and Qingmu walked deep into the alley, and then Su Mu didn't waste any time and informed Qingmu about what happened on the way, and then focused on the disappearance of Tang Xiaohao and Baomeng.
Aoki was shocked when he heard this: "The prince-in-law and the princess are also missing?"
The word "ye" in Aoki's mouth immediately made Su Mu realize that something had happened. Aoki came out of the prefect's mansion with a large number of armored guards in the middle of the night, which meant that something happened to King Xi.
No, it couldn't be King Xi. If King Xi traveled, even if Sashiko was secretly protecting him, Aoki wouldn't be able to come in person. Therefore, the emperor and King Xi exchanged identities.
Su Mu saw through it but refused to reveal it, and asked: "Commander, King Xi is also missing?"
Aoki nodded and said: "Yes, just like you before, although I can sense King Xi's aura, I can't see others."
The two of them had a tacit understanding that they would still call the emperor Xiwang, just to avoid anyone finding out about it.
Aoki took off a cloth bag from his waist at this time: "The essence inside is enough for you to use for a while. However, you should also know what will happen if you take the essence after such a long time."
As a result, I have to rush to Kang Yongzhi immediately and we can split up."
Su Mu took out a piece of Jingyuan and swallowed it directly. He now knew that he could not get rid of this thing. Even if he could not let the Jingyuan control him, his martial arts would be lost. What was the point of living like a useless person?
Woolen cloth?
Su Mu added: "I felt the aura of the consort and the princess and went to the prefect's mansion. I need to go into the prefect's mansion to investigate. In addition, don't touch Ah Qin and the people in the Tuorsi tribe. This matter is not that simple."
Aoki just said: "Whether we want to touch them or not depends on the safety of King Xi. This matter can only be decided by King Xi. If anything unexpected happens to King Xi..."
Having said this, Aoki didn't say any more, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Aoki didn't give Su Mu any token or badge to enter the prefect's mansion. His intention was very clear, just to let Su Mu act secretly on his own.
Su Mu returned to A Qin, Yue Yan and Chi Erda.
Ah Qin also knew that the assassins had left, so he asked, "What?"
Su Mu said: "Next, I have to act alone. Please three of you go back to the inner courtyard of Peach Blossom Spring first, because the princess and the consort disappeared in the inner courtyard, so you can just investigate the cause there."
Childa interrupted and asked: "What about you? What are you going to do?"
Yueyan immediately said: "General, haven't you figured out the situation yet? This Su Zhongguan is not an ordinary palace servant. If it weren't for this strange matter, you, the culprit of the surprise attack on Rouyuan Palace, would have been killed long ago.
Already."
Chierda naturally knew, but because he was worried about Princess Baomeng, he couldn't help asking more questions, and Yueyan's words also had several meanings.
Su Mu turned and left. He needed to find a quiet place to rest, because for at least half an hour, he would be unable to move and would fall into pain like the burning hell fire.
Ah Qin turned around and led Yueyan and Chierda back: "He's right, something big is going to happen. Let's go back quickly. Don't go anywhere tonight."
Chi Erda followed stupidly and asked: "What do you mean? What big thing happened?"
Ah Qin said as he walked: "How on earth did you become Wanhu Bojin? A large number of armored guards rode on horseback from the direction of the prefect's mansion. This means that something big has happened. Otherwise, the armored guards would not be dispatched in the middle of the night.
"
Only then did Chi Erda realize the meaning of Ah Qin's words, but he was worried not only about Princess Baomeng, but also about the deal.
