The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Xiao Mubei showed approval in his eyes and nodded gently, "Okay, we will fight side by side later."

As he was talking, chaotic footsteps could be heard outside. The area was surrounded from all sides. Wang Youkang's voice rang out, "Listen, everyone inside. Someone has reported you for breaking into a private residence, killing people and hiding bodies. If you surrender obediently, I can show mercy and let you die a quick death."

Chu Yunxi stood in front of the window and cursed loudly: "You dog official Wang Youkang, you colluded with the Chen brothers, blackmailed and extorted, shielded the murderer, and acted as a protective umbrella for the evil forces. Now that the truth has been exposed, you still want to kill people to silence them. Who gave you the courage?"

Wang Youkang smiled and looked very honest, but who could have thought that beneath this honest appearance was a heart that was extremely cruel?

"Princess, who told you to meddle in other people's business? You said you would leave, so why did you come back? I don't want to go against the prince, but since things have come to this, it's either you or I. I can't do anything about it. You forced me to do this."

Chu Yunxi saw Chen Da standing behind Wang Youkang, and behind him was a row of archers who had already drawn their bows and were ready to shoot.

She said coldly: "Don't you have a choice or don't want to choose? If the prince dies here, do you think you can escape?"

Wang Youkang laughed strangely, "Then don't worry about it, Princess. Get the archers ready."

"Wang Youkang, you dare!" Xiao Mubei shouted in a deep and stern voice, and his internal force sent the sound far away.

But Wang Youkang was obviously extremely courageous. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he shouted, "See if I dare or not."

Xiao Mubei pulled Chu Yunxi behind him. Wang Youkang waved his hand and a row of arrows shot over. Xiao Mubei pushed Chu Yunxi to the corner of the room. Another row of arrows shot over. The walls, the floor, and the crib of the room were covered with arrows.

There were shouting sounds coming from outside. It was the Purple Guards who rushed out from behind those people and killed that row of archers in pieces. The rain of arrows stopped for a while, and Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi also came out from the corner and hid under the window.

Chu Yunxi took out a needle crossbow and shot it at Wang Youkang. Unexpectedly, Chen Da noticed it immediately and pulled Wang Youkang's fat body over.

Chu Yunxi didn't expect that Chen Da was actually a master. Before, seeing Chen San and Chen Si, she thought that the Chen brothers could only cheat and deceive.

Chen Da pulled Wang Youkang to one side, and the Purple Guards, Wen Rulan, Chu Zhongxi and others appeared, fighting with the archers behind them. Wen Rulan's figure was like a ghost, moving among the archers, and wherever he went, someone would fall down.

Xiao Mubei looked at it for a while and suddenly said, "No."

The archers were fighting against the Purple Guards, and no arrows were being shot at them. Chu Yunxi was also watching the battle, and when she heard this, she asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Mubei said: "Didn't you notice that these archers were mostly dodging and didn't really want to fight the Purple Guards?"

Chu Yunxi took a careful look and found that indeed, although the archers seemed to be in a stalemate with the Purple-Robed Guards, they actually retreated as soon as they made contact. They did not really fight, but instead seemed to be leading the Purple-Robed Guards towards the house.

"Oh no, there's a trap."

Chu Yunxi opened the door and was about to rush out, but saw the archers retreating at the same time. A row of sharp knife tips suddenly popped up on the ground in the yard, forcing the Purple Guards, Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi to take a step back.

Wang Youkang laughed loudly and said, "Do you think I would only bring such a small number of people? If I don't force all of you out, how can I catch you all in one fell swoop? When the time comes, I will submit another memorial. When the Dingbei King and his entourage passed through Muyue Town, they encountered bandits. I led the troops to rescue them, but it was too late. I failed to save the king. Please punish me, Your Majesty. Do you think Your Majesty will really punish me?"

Chu Yunxi was furious when she heard this, "Wang Youkang, you dog official, aren't you afraid of being torn into pieces by five horses and struck by five thunders?"

"God bless you with five thunderbolts? Anyway, you won't be able to see it, so I will send you off today."

While Chu Yunxi and Wang Youkang were swearing at each other, a group of archers appeared behind them and the rain of arrows came again. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei had to retreat back to the room, while Wen Rulan, Chu Zhongxi and the purple-clothed guards picked up their swords and waved them to resist.

The group of archers who had just fought took a bamboo tube from their backs, opened the lid, and threw it into the circle formed by the knife tips.

Wen Rulan twitched her nose and shouted, "Oh no! Get out of the way! It's kerosene! They're going to attack with fire."

The purple-clothed guards dodged the bamboo tubes thrown at them. Xiao Mubei heard the sound of liquid pouring around him and shouted, "Everyone, go inside and take shelter first."

As he was speaking, Chen Da had already lit the tinder and threw it over. As soon as the kerosene touched the fire, flames as high as a person rose up. Big fires also started all around at the same time. Everyone hurriedly retreated into the room and closed the door tightly.

Just after closing the door, Chu Yunxi suddenly said, "Ah, that woman is still in the next room, and there are those bones. If they are burned, there will be no evidence."

Wen Rulan said: "I'm going to save people, but there's nothing I can do about those corpses."

After saying that, he opened the door and prepared to rush out. Although the fire had not yet reached this side of the house, as soon as the archers saw someone coming out, they immediately shot a torrential rain of arrows at him.

Wen Rulan had no choice but to close the door and retreat. "No, we can't rush in. The woman probably won't wake up for the time being. We'll make plans later. Now let's think about how to escape."

Chu Yunxi said: "There must be a secret passage in this room. This is probably our only way to survive. But I can't find the mechanism for the moment. Let's look for it together now. As long as we can find it, we still have a chance to escape."

Everyone acted together, but there were not many things in this room, and everything was almost visible at a glance. Chu Yunxi had already moved the table and chairs away, and she also knocked on the wall, but found nothing.

Chu Zhongxi lowered his head and looked at the ground. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Look, is the gap here bigger than other places?"

Everyone else gathered around. Chu Yunxi looked at it carefully, knocked on the ground around her, and then she began to move that piece of ground with her hands.

Wen Rulan asked Chu Yunxi to stand up. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the gap. With some force, a piece of the ground was actually lifted up, revealing the dark tunnel underneath.

"Found it." Chu Yunxi cheered softly.

At this moment, the heat wave from the fire outside is very close and will soon burn the house.

Wen Rulan said: "You guys hide first, I will find a way to bring that woman here."

Chu Yunxi said: "You have to be careful."

Wen Rulan nodded, "Don't worry."

Just as the two finished talking, the woman's exclamation suddenly came from outside, "Tuan Tuan, my Tuan Tuan."
