The ones on top were Bai Yu and Hei Mu. They were climbing down little by little with the Purple Guards and the detectives from the Dali Temple. Zhao Yuzhi had been captured, and the people from Jingzhao Prefecture who followed Zhao Yuzhi were taken away and locked up by the imperial guards sent by Emperor Sui Ming. Wen Rulan had not come back yet, but they could not take care of him at the moment. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were in danger of death, and they were all extremely anxious. Each of them carried a large bundle of ropes and caught them while climbing down.

Hei Mu had just lowered another section of rope and hadn't secured it yet when suddenly a strong internal force came from the rope, causing it to sway a few times. He was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "It's the prince, the prince is down there."

Everyone was suddenly excited, and everyone was excited that the prince was still alive.

Hei Mu immediately grabbed the rope and slid down very quickly. Soon he saw a platform below with two people standing on it. Who else could it be but Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi?"

Hei Mu jumped down impatiently when he was still a few meters away from the platform and knelt in front of the two of them, "Prince, Princess, it's great that you're all okay." His voice was slightly choked. His heart had been in his throat for the past few hours, and he finally let go when he saw the prince and princess.

Xiao Mubei helped him up and said, "We are fine. Who is coming down?"

Before Hei Mu could say anything, Bai Yu and Zi Han had already landed one after the other, kneeling in front of Xiao Mubei, and said in unison: "My Lord, Princess, I failed in my duty, please punish me."

Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get up. Since the princess and I are fine, you can be forgiven for dereliction of duty. Now there is another important thing that needs you to do."

Another purple-clothed guard fell down, and there was almost no place to stand on the small platform. Xiao Mubei said, "Zi Han stay, and let the next person who comes down enter the cave directly."

Zi Han agreed, so Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi brought the people who had come down and entered the cave again.

This time Baiyu and Heimu were well prepared and brought torches with them. They lit the torches, strode into the cave, and came directly to the place where the four bones lay.

Xiao Mubei said: "Find a way to bring these four skeletons back to the Dali Temple."

Bai Yu agreed, and then more Purple Guards came in one after another, and some constables from the Dali Temple also came down. They checked the cave carefully again and confirmed that there were no other traces. Then they found a way to pack up the four skeletons, and several constables were responsible for carrying them up.

Xiao Mubei still held Chu Yunxi and climbed up along the rope, but this time the rope tied the two together. Chu Yunxi didn't have to hold Xiao Mubei all the time and wouldn't fall down. The group returned to the previous cave smoothly.

Li Jinghong was also waiting in the cave. He was a scholar and didn't know martial arts. Even if he wanted to save people, he couldn't go down. He could only wait in fear. After working together for more than half a year, he had completely recognized Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. His worry at this time was also sincere. Seeing the two coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Avalokitesvara bless you. Thank you, Avalokitesvara, for the safe return of the prince and princess."

It was not until this moment that Chu Yunxi could really see the whole picture of the cave. It was pitch black here last night. Although she stayed there for a night, she didn't see anything. Now it seems that Wei Zhe'an really knows how to enjoy himself. However, his lurking here should be related to Zhao Yuzhi. I don't know how the two of them hooked up, and I don't know when Wei Zhe'an came this time. In short, Zhao Tingyu didn't seem to know that Wei Zhe'an was also in the capital.

"Where is my senior brother?" Chu Yunxi asked Qingmei.

Qingmei just saw Chu Yunxi coming up, hugged her and cried, and Chu Yunxi comforted her. At this moment, her mood had just improved a little. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. I heard from Hei Mu that he went to chase someone. I have been guarding here, but he didn't come back."

Why hasn't he come back in such a long time? Chu Yunxi was a little worried, but then she thought, the two men's Qinggong was comparable, but in terms of internal strength and martial arts, Wei Zhe'an was far from being Wen Rulan's opponent. As long as Wen Rulan caught up with him, the outcome would be self-evident, but the process of chasing might be a little troublesome. If the man was so easy to catch, the Dali Temple would not have left the case unsolved for so long.

Xiao Mubei knew that Chu Yunxi was worried about Wen Rulan, so he said, "Take a rest first. If Senior Brother doesn't come back later, we will send people to search the mountain. The two of them must still be in Longyu Mountain."

Chu Yunxi nodded and sat on the couch to rest for a while. After the constables in charge of transporting the corpses brought up the four corpses, Xiao Mubei arranged for someone to send them back to the Dali Temple. Then he asked, "Is there any temple on this Longyu Mountain?"

Xiao Mubei was from the capital, and was very familiar with the nearby mountains, so he said, "There is a Guanyin Temple on this mountain. It is said that it is very effective in praying for children. Families in the capital who want children usually come here to burn incense and pray for children. If they get pregnant, they will come here to fulfill their wishes after giving birth. Therefore, this Guanyin Temple is usually very popular, and Longyu Mountain is also visited by many people."

"Besides the Guanyin Temple, are there any other people living on the mountain?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, Longyu Mountain is very big, and there are two villages in the mountain. There are probably dozens of families in each village. They live by the mountain and rely on the mountain for their food. Some people do small business next to Guanyin Temple, and some people find a job in the capital. They only have their elderly parents at home."

It sounds no different from an ordinary village. Chu Yunxi said, "It seems we have to go to Longyu Mountain for a walk."

After a murder case, it is necessary to take a walk, but they have been too busy and tired in the past two days. There are still many things that need to be dealt with, such as the trial of Zhao Yuzhi, the conclusion of the serial rape and murder case, etc. The two of them are really overwhelmed.

After thinking about it, Xiao Mubei arranged for the constables from Dali Temple to go up the mountain first. First, to look for Wen Rulan and Wei Zhe'an. If there was any help needed, they would assist Wen Rulan in capturing Wei Zhe'an, although it was basically not necessary. Secondly, they had to find where the thin line of sky was. Only after determining the location of the thin line of sky could they go to investigate and obtain more clues in the white bone case.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi need to return to the capital to report to Emperor Sui Ming first, and at the same time check the four skeletons in detail to see if there is anything missing. There are also matters such as the closure of the serial rape and murder case, the conviction of Zhao Yuzhi and Zhao Tingyu that need to be dealt with one by one. If Wen Rulan catches Wei Zhe'an, then the murderer of more than 70 flower-picking cases will be brought to justice, and this case that has been shelved for a long time can finally be closed.
