The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

It was already daybreak when the officers and soldiers guarding the capital city discovered the body, which caused quite a stir.

Last night, it was too dark, and someone took advantage of the darkness and the gap between the officers and soldiers' shifts to quietly hang people on the city gate. Then, the officers and soldiers who had just patrolled the city gate were also knocked unconscious.

Shortly after daybreak, a new group of soldiers arrived to take over their work, but they discovered the man hanging above the city gate.

At the same time, the people waiting in line inside and outside the city saw the soldiers cutting the ropes with flying knives and gathering a team to surround the body that had fallen to the ground. They were all horrified and frightened. How could ordinary people have seen such a horrible scene?

The soldiers collected the body and sent people to investigate nearby. No matter what the real situation was, a murder had occurred and the government had to make a statement. Regardless of whether the body was related to the court, it was a major matter involving a murder, and it was in the patrol area of ​​the soldiers, and it was also such a critical location at the east gate of the capital, so the court officials naturally had to do something.

Soon, a team from the government office arrived at the city gate. The leader was Zong Quan, and there were two coroners among them.

Something big happened at the city gate, and the news spread quickly, causing various reactions from people in the city.

The emperor had just come out of the morning court when he heard about the incident at the city gate. He then listened to the detailed description of the headless male corpse given by the Dragon Staff Guard: he was of medium height, thin, wearing the dark clothes of a middle-level assassin in the Mu Xi Jiuyou Pavilion, and had a black birthmark the size of a red bean on his waist...

He suddenly became furious and pointed at Geng Wa in anger.

"Isn't that one of ours? How could something happen to him?!"

Emperor Haolian had previously found a lucky opportunity and placed a person in the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion.

At that time, the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion was in its infancy and was recruiting a small number of assassins. However, the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion was managed very strictly from beginning to end, and the little spy had been working at the bottom level and could not obtain any useful information. He was mostly assigned to do miscellaneous work at the bottom level. After a few years, the man was promoted a little, and his information was only a little wider.

Emperor Haolian had not used this chess piece. The first reason was that this chess piece was buried too deep, and it was not easy to contact it, so as not to expose its whereabouts. The emperor's people were unable to contact that person for a while, and they were afraid that the person had been buried or died in the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion.

The second reason was that this chess piece could only play a role once, so he had to wait until the most appropriate time to play his role. This time, by chance, he found an opportunity and leaked the general route to the Hades Palace.

Logically speaking, just knowing a rough route is not enough to figure out which routes lead to the Underworld Palace, let alone finding the specific location of the Underworld Palace.

However, another lucky aspect is that during this period of time, people from the court, the various families, the martial arts world and other major factions happened to be keeping a close eye on the Netherworld Nine Layers. As a result, the emperor had the opportunity to unite with the Blue Sky Blood Killer and many people from some factions to mobilize and use a large number of people to investigate the routes one by one.

That night, Netherworld Nineth Level suddenly appeared in the suburbs in a red dress...

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a silence and an unprecedentedly depressing atmosphere. Geng Wa was scolded by the emperor but he dared not say a word.

The emperor was so angry that his teeth itched and he cursed, "What a bunch of idiots! They discovered the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld and let him escape!"

Hundreds of masters, Dragon Staff Guards, Azure Killers, and reinforcements from other factions, almost all of them were killed by Nether Nine. Nether Nine is really a terrifying monster!

Last night, the Emperor mobilized the dozen or so guards and assassins who had survived, and sent a new team of men from various factions to hunt down Netherworld Nine.

Unexpectedly, before the news of the death of Youming Jiuchong came, the news of the death of the spy they had finally reconnected with came first!

This means their plan has been discovered!!!

When the emperor thought about the failure of his plan, his heart ached. He stood up and took a few steps forward.

He kicked down a dragon staff guard who was reporting the news. The guard fell to the ground, gasping for breath, not daring to say anything or move. This person was a guard who participated in the joint strangulation of the Netherworld Nineth Layer.

The emperor sneered: "Do you think that the Netherworld Nineth Layer has seen through our plan?"

The fallen dragon staff guard got up and stammered, "Your Majesty, that shouldn't be the case."

"Of course not! Who else killed the man at the city gate?"

The Dragon Staff Guard was speechless, while Geng Wa beside him also had a frightened look on his face.

Needless to say, everyone in the hall realized that their plan was not only exposed, but also a complete failure.

The traitor was found out and killed. It is very likely that Youming Jiuchong returned to the Underworld Palace alive and discovered the conspiracy of the traitor!

This traitor was most likely caught and tortured to death by the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld!

The emperor was still unwilling to give up, and ordered Geng Wa to personally lead people to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Youming Jiuzhong and achieve the ultimate goal of killing Youming Jiuzhong.

Another point is that they originally wanted to rescue Prince Sen who was imprisoned by Netherworld Jiuchong while killing Netherworld Jiuchong.

Unfortunately, that night their people only encountered the lonely Netherworld Ninth Layer, and did not see a single piece of clothing from the Sixth Prince of Nantai...

The previous dynasty was alarmed by the murder at the city gate, and the harem was also disturbed.

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen found out that the Emperor and his group had really luckily encountered the Ninth Level of the Netherworld.

Nanny Pei said in a complicated tone, "Empress, you just sent people to investigate Lord Youming a few days ago, both inside and outside Zhongyue. The results haven't come out yet, and the emperor's people have discovered Lord Youming's whereabouts."

The queen showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but at least she knew that Youming Jiuchong was in Zhongyue. The scope of her investigation could be narrowed down to Zhongyue and even the area around the capital.

She thought of Wan Yan Sen who had not appeared for a long time, and also thought of the fact that Nan Tai had not yet reported back the latest news about Wan Yan Sen, and her head began to ache.

The queen, who was always gentle and dignified, rarely got angry, and a ferocious look appeared on her graceful face.

She slammed the table and shouted, "Why is everything going wrong?"

Nanny Pei and the others were horrified and knelt on the ground. It was over. If the master got angry, he would not suffer as much as they did! And this was the second time the master got angry after he refused to take medicine last time.

As expected, the Queen lightly tapped with her fingers coated with kohlrabi, and immediately several palace maids and eunuchs were accused of some unfounded crimes that they had recently committed and were dragged out to be punished.

The queen smiled slightly, turned around and ordered the people below in a cold voice: "Check the status of the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld."

After thinking for a while, he gave another order: "Find out whether Princess Li Yi has improved after taking the medicine prescribed by Princess Ye. Also, push Princess Ye to see Princess Li Yi as soon as possible."

It can't be delayed any longer.

Although the situation is chaotic now, Yun Mu and his nine companions are still very safe.

Only by making Yun Mujiu busy and chaotic can more people be aware of Yun Mujiu's existence...

And let the mysterious person in the dark discover the specialness of Yun Mujiu...
