The soldiers looked at the official's tools and said with disdain: "That's it~~~"

One soldier couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he took the clothes from under the bed and put them on the official. , he said with disdain:

"Don't look at anything inappropriate. Don't pollute other people's eyes." As he said this, he was about to tie him up.

"I say, are you stupid? He has been unconscious and won't wake up for three days and three nights. Why are you tying him up? You are really taking off your pants to fart."

Another group encountered some resistance in a luxurious mansion.

The guards here were more alert and noticed something was wrong, so a brief but fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

In order to resolve the situation quietly, the leader threw a smoke bomb. After a few breaths, the guard fainted on the ground and the fight was over. It was truly "short-lived".

When several people rushed into the house, the official was trying to escape through the secret passage, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed soldiers and pulled back.

"Good things should not be wasted. Throw it to where the smoke was. Maybe the smoke can still be useful."

"Good."

Two soldiers responded, stuffed the official's mouth with a rag on the table, and dragged him to where the guards had fainted.

After a tense and orderly operation, each team succeeded and captured the officials involved in the case one by one.

According to the prior arrangement, they quickly evacuated the scene and sent all the people to the Dali Temple prison like a pile of people.

On the other side, Baili Ye and Qing He followed closely behind Duke Ying. Duke Ying looked nervous along the way, speeding up his pace from time to time.

The two of them carefully hid their bodies along the way. After leaving the city, the road gradually narrowed and the trees on both sides became taller and more gloomy.

The moonlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground.

The occasional cries of night owls could be heard in the distance, making the night even more eerie.

Qing He said softly to Baili Ye: "Aye, this place is weird."

Baili Ye held Qinghe's hand tightly and responded, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Finally, the Duke of England arrived at a temple located halfway up the mountain.

The temple looked a bit dilapidated, with weeds growing all around it. The mountain breeze made a humming sound.

The Duke of England looked around carefully before going forward and knocking on the door.

The door creaked open, and a little monk stuck his head out, glanced at the Duke of England, and let him in.

Baili Ye and Qinghe went around to one side of the temple, quietly jumped onto the wall and peeked inside.

Qing He muttered quietly: "This temple doesn't look like a good place."

Baili Ye nodded: "Be careful."

The Duke of England walked through the courtyard and entered a meditation room. He knelt down and saluted a dark figure with his back to them, and said in a trembling voice:

"Sir, I failed in my mission and my assassination attempt has failed."

The shadow slowly turned around and shouted angrily, "Useless! You can't even do this. You ruined my plan!"

The Duke of England trembled with fear and said hurriedly, "Please calm down, Lord Zuo. I never thought it would be like this. Please save me."

The shadow's eyes were sinister, and he asked coldly, "Did you leave any survivors during the assassination? Don't let them betray you, or else it will ruin everything!"

The Duke of England quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. All those who participated in the assassination are dead men. There will be no survivors."

The black shadow snorted coldly: "That would be better. Then did you leave any evidence in your house?"

The British Duke looked bitter:

"Sir, my house has been emptied of all its money and now I have nothing. But I still have some money hidden somewhere else that can be used by you in an emergency."

The shadow glared at him:

"You idiot, let's talk about money later. Let me ask you, do you have any evidence of your dealings with other officials?"

The Duke of England's eyes flashed, and he replied, "I didn't leave any evidence."

The shadow stared at him for a moment and said, "It's good that there is no tail. The most urgent thing is how to deal with the current situation."

The Duke of England said cautiously, "Please give me some advice, my Lord."

The black shadow snorted coldly:

“You have committed such a big mistake. If it is found out, it will definitely implicate me and my master.

As of now, you cannot get away from Doctor Xue's matter. Go back and check to make sure there is no evidence left. Defend all of Doctor Xue's accusations against you and just say that you have a personal grudge against him.

If you leave evidence behind and it is exposed, you will have to take all the blame and tell others that you have a personal grudge against King Chen and you did it to vent your anger.

In this way, the master can continue to implement his plan in the court without being implicated."

The Duke of England gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I will follow your instructions."

The shadow said again: "Remember, there must not be any mistakes in this matter, otherwise your family's lives will be in danger! Go back!"

The Duke of England bowed and turned to leave.

Qing He and Bai Li Ye looked at each other and said softly, "I'll take him down first and then come back to find you."

"Xiao He, be careful." Baili Ye said, and followed the black shadow away.

After the two separated, Duke Ying had just walked a few steps out of the temple when Qinghe injected him with an anesthetic needle in the back of his neck.

There was a sharp pain and before the Duke of England could react, he fainted on the spot.

Before he passed out, he only saw Princess Chen standing in front of him. Duke Yingguo looked as pale as death, and he collapsed to the ground before he could even think that he was finished.

On the other side, Baili Ye followed the black shadow to a secret cave at the foot of the mountain behind the temple.

The cave is surrounded by rugged rocks and overgrown weeds. Occasionally a few bats fly out of the cave entrance, making "squeaking" sounds.

The moonlight sprinkled on the cave entrance, making the area there appear somewhat pale, while the inside of the cave was pitch black and bottomless, like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour everything.

The black shadow paused for a moment at the entrance of the cave, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Baili Ye hid behind a big tree not far away, holding his breath and concentrating, even slowing down his breathing, for fear of making the slightest sound to alert the black shadow.

The night wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the corners of Baili Ye's clothes were gently blown up, making a rustling sound.

"Who? Come out!" the black shadow heard the voice and shouted.

Then she walked towards where Baili Ye was. In a flash, just when the black shadow was about to reach Baili Ye, Qinghe also teleported in front of Baili Ye. She held Baili Ye's hand, and with a thought, she brought him into the space.

"Aye, I'm here."

"This person is very alert. Let's follow him and see."

"it is good."

Their eyes were fixed on the black shadow, who took out a tinder from his arms, lit it, and walked carefully into the cave.

The cave was filled with a damp and moldy smell. The fire in the black shadow's hand flickered in the darkness, casting strange shadows on the cave wall.

Water drips from the top of the cave from time to time, making a crisp "tick-tick" sound, which is particularly clear in this quiet environment.
