'Sizzle!'

After listening to Wu Jieyu's report, Qinglong took a deep breath.

At this moment, he finally realized the purpose of Xu Shan making such a big fuss.

Obviously, the communication between Marquis Anping and King Ning has always been completed through Gu Santong.

Given Prince Ning's character, even if the truth is revealed, he will clear himself of all charges and put all the blame on Gu Santong.

At that time, Gu Santong only needs to follow the example of Taoist Baisun and disappear without a trace, and this matter will have nothing to do with King Ning.

In order to maintain stability in the overall situation, even if the higher-ups knew that Prince Ning was behind this, they would not directly target him!

But when Xu Shan took the initiative to alert the enemy, Gu Santong, who received the information first, chose to run away.

This gave Xu Shan an opportunity.

"Uncle Long, use normal means to find out when the ninth-rank Gu Santong left and where he went..."

“We’re hard to catch.”

"But if he deliberately alerts the enemy and learns about our progress, King Ning will immediately send him out of the city to avoid the limelight!"

"I never thought about bringing them to justice, but rather asking for blood to be paid with blood."

"So, Uncle Long. You have to act for me."

"What drama?"

"The incident at the Anping Marquis' Mansion has caused such a big stir. His Majesty is very angry and has ordered you to take over the case and put me under house arrest!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Qinglong frowned. Then, thinking of something, he whispered in Xu Shan's ear, "You just took off your hat and unsheathed your sword. That was actually the beginning of the performance, wasn't it?"

"In the entire capital, so many eyes are staring at me. If I don't act out the whole story, will they believe it? But those words come from the heart."

"You bastard..."

After cursing silently, Qinglong suddenly raised his voice and roared hysterically: "Xu Shan, you are alone and you can do whatever you want."

"But what about these brothers who follow you?"

"Do you also want them to become wanted persons along with you?"

"I will take over this case now."

"You must return home and rest now. You are not allowed to leave the house without the order from His Majesty and the Heavenly Master!"

"Uncle Long, this matter..."

"Do you dare to disobey my order?"

"Huang Chaojie!"

"arrive."

"Watch him return home in person."

"Yes."

Following Qinglong's order, Huang Chenshi and Mr. Xu rushed towards his own mansion.

After learning all this, the dignitaries murmured in their hearts: "Qinglong, it is true love for Xu Shan."

"Taking the case at this time means that I can withstand all the storms for Xu Shan."

"It seems like he is being confined, but in fact it is to protect him."

The news that Xu Shan was under house arrest by His Majesty for causing a disturbance in the Anping Marquis' Mansion was also immediately passed on to Prince Ning.

“Is this information accurate?”

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Wusi suddenly stood up and questioned.

When Xu Shan broke free from the [Heavenly Dog Hanger] set up by Cao Zhengchun, Deng Ziyue did not die, but Zhuque was also seriously injured. The development of the situation was beyond Zhu Wushi's control.

When King Ning learned that Xu Shan had led his men straight to the Anping Marquis Mansion on Zhuque Avenue, he realized that the matter was very likely to be exposed.

Therefore, while he ordered Gu Santong to hide in Xicheng for the time being, he secretly instigated the disciples of Anping Hou and the members of the Donglin Party to make a big fuss about this matter.

Even now, many of Marquis Anping's disciples are still kneeling in front of the imperial palace.

"Absolutely true!"

"The secret agent saw Huang Chenshi of the Northern Pacification Office watching Xu Shan return to the mansion. Elder Zhenwu of the Divine Machine Hub was personally watching from inside the mansion!"

'call! '

Hearing this, Zhu Wusi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He had to admire Xu Shan's ability to solve the case. In such a short time, he was able to unravel the mystery and find the Anping Marquis Mansion.

What’s even worse is that this guy doesn’t play by the rules at all.

He didn't even take Marquis Anping seriously.

Not only did they kill their way in, but it is said that they also tortured the person who reported the news in front of him!

"Your Highness, I heard that after Li Jinliang was identified, Xu Shan ordered his men to torture him on the spot."

"I'm afraid that the ancient great worshiper will be betrayed by him."

"Also, all the Jinyiwei from the Pacification Division have set out. Plus the people from the City Defense Battalion..."

"It is said that after the suspect was identified, a house-to-house search was carried out."

"Grand Priest Gu is hiding in West City. Will they find him?"

Hearing this, Zhu Wusi said, "You're right. Perhaps Qinglong will come to ask for me later."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Qinglong, the Deputy Governor of the Northern Pacification Division, wants to see you late at night."

"The outer perimeter of the palace has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards."

"Sure enough, they're here. They're moving even faster than we thought."

After saying this, Zhu Wusi said to his subordinates, "You must take the secret passage immediately and inform the Grand Priest Gu before the Jinyiwei launch a city-wide search. Tell him to leave the capital tonight, no matter what."

"Qinglong, I will hold him back here first."

"Yes."

This time, in order to prove his innocence, Zhu Wusi cooperated with Qinglong and his troops in the search within the villa.

It also greatly delayed his progress.

Before he left, he stood in front of Prince Ning's villa and deliberately shouted at the top of his voice: "The whole city is under martial law, he can't escape."

"Search every house for me."

"Yes."

Looking at Qinglong's 'furious' expression, and looking at his subordinate who had returned from reporting the news, he nodded heavily at himself...

A smile of commanding intelligence appeared on Zhu Wusi's face.

And at this time...

Gu Santong, who learned the news, used his lightness skills to climb over the towering city wall.

After creating a time difference with the soldiers of the city defense camp who were guarding the city tightly, he quickly disappeared into the woods in the western suburbs.

"Xu, you've put me in such a state of embarrassment!"

"Don't give me the chance..."

"Otherwise, I will tear you into pieces."

After walking for more than ten miles, Gu Santong turned his head to look at the Jinling City that was getting farther and farther away, and spoke viciously.

'Whoosh! '

Just as he finished speaking, several flying knives mixed with chaotic energy cut through the night sky and attacked Gu Santong directly!

"Ok?"

'bass……'

Gu Santong, who had just relaxed, suddenly became alert and dodged.

Not daring to confront him head-on, he jumped continuously as light as a swallow.

But the master who was fighting against him from a distance had already locked onto him.

This forced Gu Santong to activate the [Golden Bell Cover] and at the same time, he was forced to retreat step by step towards the southwest.

'boom. ’

At this moment, a black shadow broke out of the ground.

The sharp blade immediately slashed towards Gu Santong who was facing away from him.

"damn thing……"

"seek death."

'tie……'

'boom. ’

'Pfft. '

Although Gu Santong managed to block the black shadow's knife, he also repelled the opponent.

However, the flying knife, which never missed its target, pierced through his golden body and stabbed into his left shoulder.

'Whoosh! '

Before Gu Santong could come to his senses, a scarlet knife force came towards him like a shadow.
