Jackdaw Qi also speculated that the martial law at the palace gates was because something had happened to someone in the upper echelons and it couldn't possibly be related to the bride.

Gong Men has always looked down on women. As long as one of his two Chi-level assassins, Zheng Nanyiyi and Cheng Angyun, reveals his identity as planned, Gong Men will not pursue the case further if he thinks that the information matches that brought back by the person in charge of the outpost. The other assassins will be safe.

Moreover, the palace curfew would not last too long. After all, not all brides could be selected, and the palace gates had to consider the reputation of the unsuccessful brides. They just had to wait a few more days in Wanhua Tower, so there was no need to worry.

Who knew that after waiting for so long, they only saw Gong Shangjiao's team hurriedly return. No white Kongming lanterns were raised at the palace gate, and on the third day, the palace gate announced that Jianghu Gong Shangjiao would take over the sword.

Gong Shangjiao's promotion was something Wu Feng had not expected. Gong Hongyu, the sword-wielding man in front of the palace gate, and the former young master Gong Huanyuren were not dead but both gave up their positions. No one knew what had happened, and this time the palace gate moved so quickly.

Even after a new sword was wielded, the martial law at the palace gates was still not lifted, and no one knew what the result of the marriage selection was. The brides disappeared without a trace, and there was no news at all.

At this time, the Lord of Zheng Palace, Gong Yuanzheng, actually left the palace with a stunning beauty to visit the night market. No matter how one thinks about it, it seems something is wrong.

But Gong Yuanzheng was a person who was ordered by Wufeng's top leaders to be killed on sight, and his life had to be saved tonight no matter what the cost.

"Forget it, you go and get the ten whips yourself." Jackdaw Si walked around the man and planned to go back to Wanhua Tower to seek Zi Yi's opinion.

After all, in this Old Dust Valley, the one with the highest Wufeng rank at the moment is the Southern Monster Situ Hong, who goes by the alias Zi Yi.

Wufeng's rules state that being half a level higher can kill people, not to mention that the four-sided monsters are all desperate criminals who kill people with ruthless means, and they have a cooperative relationship with Wufeng. Even Jackdaw has died in their hands after angering them. Wufeng will not blame them for the death of the middle and lower class people, and will not even ask about it.

……

Wanhua Tower.

Outside the room of the courtesan Zi Yi, the sign on the door was turned to the side with a bud about to bloom, which meant that there were no guests in the room.

But when Jackdaw Four climbed in through the window, he immediately saw Jackdaw Seven behind the curtain.

Jackdaw Qi lazily raised his left eyebrow, which was cut by a scar, at him, smiled, and said nothing.

A young woman with a smile on her face was sitting on a low couch by the window, sipping warm tea. She was not at all surprised by Jackdaw's arrival.

Ziyi poured him a cup of tea: "Sit down and have some tea. Did you make a mistake?"

Jackdaw Si took out the jade pendant from his bosom and placed it on the tea table. "Gong Yuanzheng was very alert. There were many palace guards in the crowd, so the attacker chose the girl he brought with him. Unfortunately, he got the personal item, but was discovered by the onlookers and was beaten by them. He had already shown his face in front of Gong Yuanzheng, so it would be difficult for him to do it again. Besides, the number of guards protecting Gong Yuanzheng has increased."

"I said, go to a high place and shoot an arrow at the little beauty's vitals from a distance. No matter whether you succeed or not, Gong Yuanzheng will catch up with you." Jackdaw Qi sneered.

Seeing that Jackdaw Si still had that deadpan expression, he couldn't help but say a few more words to prove his foresight: "Gong Yuanzheng is Gong Shangjiao's only weakness, and he is also an indispensable genius of medicine and poisons in the palace. Those guards are mainly protecting Gong Yuanzheng. I heard that he is also good at martial arts. If the target is him, it will be difficult to succeed in one go, which will only make those guards so nervous that they will quickly send this treasure back to the palace and hide it.

But if the target is the beautiful girl that Gong Yuanzheng has been holding hands with all the way and is reluctant to part with for even a moment, do you think that a young man who is deeply in love would be willing to swallow this humiliation in front of his sweetheart if he is provoked like this? "

He walked over, leaned against the tea table and sat down beside the couch like a boneless person. He picked up the jade pendant, looked at it, rubbed it a few times, and then put it under his nose to smell it, then took it away with disgust: "Hey, why does it have a strange smell? I'm afraid it's used for tracking?"

"No." Jackdaw Si had no expression on his face and asked Zi Yi: "Sir?"

Zi Yi also took the jade pendant, looked at it, smelled it, and nodded, proving that what Han Ya Si said was correct.

She threw the jade pendant on the tea table and instructed Jackdaw Qi to pull a thin rope from a hidden corner. There was a bell next to the rope.

If someone other than Wufeng wanted to come upstairs to find Ziyi, the madam would have someone pull the rope connected to the bell in a hidden place on the first floor to notify her to clear the area.

If Ziyi needed someone to do something, she would pull the thin rope next to the bell, and the madam would ask someone to come up and listen to her instructions. Otherwise, she was the only one living in the six rooms on the north side of the second floor. The corridors leading to this side on the east and west sides had been sealed off long ago. To get to her place, one had to take the separate stairs.

Jackdaw Qi got up helplessly and went to pull the thin rope. Not long after, a pretty girl pushed the door open. When she saw the two men in black, she acted as if they didn't see them. She came over to bow and waited for Zi Yi's instructions with her hands down.

"There is still more than half an hour before the hour of Hai. You should have someone wear this jade pendant and show it in front of the young couple... Find a smart girl who is young and doesn't know martial arts. She should look weak and dress simply. And bring the fat raccoon raised by its mother in the warm room on the second floor. There must be one who can catch the young lady's eye." Whether it is a girl who suspects that her lover has a lover in Wanhua Tower, or a girl who has taken a fancy to the raccoon, they should all come to Wanhua Tower.

After a pause, Zi Yi smiled gently again, but gave people an unfathomable feeling: "Also, while the big vendors in the night market have not yet closed their stalls, find a few handsome young men, ask them to dress up as scholars, and go to a few stalls to discuss the singing and dancing performance on the first floor of Wanhua Tower tonight. That is a rare Western style in Dayan... Jackdaw Qi, you go with them and give them some advice."

Jackdaw Qi grabbed the jade pendant in his hand and raised his eyebrows at Jackdaw: "You failed last time, this time, watch me!"

Jackdaw Qi didn't seem to be worried about his subordinates who had no news after entering the palace. In fact, he was very restless and uneasy. He always felt that something unexpected had happened inside the palace, but they knew nothing about it.

Ziyi's idea was very good. After bringing Gong Yuanzheng and the others into Wanhua Tower, he would have people separate the little beauty from Gong Yuanzheng. After killing Gong Yuanzheng, he would interrogate her: As a bride candidate, it was impossible for her to not know anything about the other brides.

If something happened to Shangguan Qian...

Then hang the broken bodies of Gong Yuanzheng and this little beauty on the roof of Wanhua Tower and make Gong Shangjiao go completely crazy.

Jackdaw Qi clenched the jade pendant in his hand fiercely and followed the girl out of the room.

Ziyi poured the cold tea in front of Jackdaw Si onto the backflow of the tea table, and poured him another cup, as if talking to herself, "Just now I looked out the window from afar, the little girl that Gong Yuanzheng brought was dressed in luxurious clothes, and her manners and grace were first-class. Although I don't know which parents are so cruel to send such a pampered beauty to the palace, seeing how worried Gong Yuanzheng is about her, and she likes the hustle and bustle so much, I'm afraid it's really not a good situation.

The fact that there are so many guards following them means that Gong Shangjiao knows about it. I'm afraid that even our famous and cold-hearted Mr. Gong Er couldn't resist the beauty's request and risked letting his beloved brother take the little girl out to relax. We bet that we dare not kill Gong Yuanzheng at this time, under the eyes of the palace gates... What a pity."
