Luo Fan and Xue Yuran came to Chuyang Palace, and Xie Xu and the others were talking animatedly about Luo Fan's beating of Li Benshuo. Seeing the rightful owner coming, everyone stopped talking. Everyone has different expressions on their faces, some are laughing and waiting to see the show, some are admiring, and some are unhappy with the air-conditioning.
"Yuran, why are you here? Hey, Luofan, you are really amazing. You are the first person in history to dare to beat up the marshal of Tiandu King's army in the palace. Bullshit! I, Zhao Xue, don't admire Tian, If you don’t admire me, I admire you.” Zhao Xue gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile.
"You're welcome, why is that kid ignorant? King Tiandu asked Xue Yuran to participate in this case, and I'll leave it to you. I'll go to the Xianhua Palace next door to have a look."
"Luofan, wait a minute. This is the palace after all. You just beat the Marshal of the Guards. I'm afraid King Tiandu won't let you off lightly. You'd better wait quietly. It is estimated that the king's order will come soon. By then, if If something happens, we can beg for mercy for you." Xie Xu called Luo Fan and said.
"Hey, it doesn't matter. Since the king hasn't given the order yet, I have to continue investigating the case. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Luofan waved his hands indifferently and left.
"Zhao Xue, follow Luofan. Don't let him run around alone again and cause any trouble." Xie Xu ordered Zhao Xueying hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go and catch him." Zhao Xue smiled and left with Luofan.
"Hey, you really think you are a living hell. How dare you hit the Marshal of the Guards in the palace! After beating him, you can still be so leisurely. You really don't know whether to live or die! If I were the king of Tiandu, I would definitely teach this kid a lesson and let him know You know what's good and what's good." Li Qilin curled his lips and said angrily.
"But you are not the King of Tiandu. Don't forget, since he came to Longcheng, he has done more than one or two things about death. Fighting with Yin Shaozheng in the street, beating Tao Feng's grandson Tao Zhili to death in public, and confronting the four major figures in the court. The family captured the commoner army, instigated the two kings to kill each other, defeated Wu Jiuzhen to choose a son-in-law, and killed Feng Laijiang. They did a lot of things without knowing death, but they didn't die. King Tiandu may not touch him." Wang Luochuan held his arms in his arms. , indeed shook his head and said.
Everyone continued to search for clues in Chuyang Palace. Not long after, Long Xilin walked in from outside the palace gate and said with a smile: "Everyone, how is the investigation of the case? Do you have any clues?"
"Fifth sister!" Ye Tan, He Mingming and others came forward to greet them.
Xie Xu said happily: "Fifth sister, why are you here? I heard that Luofan beat Li Benzhuo. Does King Tiandu have any decree?" Long Xilin smiled and waved her hand: "No. King Tiandu said that Li Benzhuo and Jing Lei Shen arrested the young man. It’s not a big deal to compete with each other if we are very powerful. However, Li Benshuo is too incompetent and does not have the ability to serve as the marshal of the army, so he was dismissed from his position. He will be replaced by a more capable marshal soon."
"Ah! Instead of punishing Luofan, Li Benzhuo was exempted! How is this possible!" Li Qilin opened his mouth in surprise. He and Li Benzhuo were both close relatives of the royal family. Li Benzhuo suffered an injustice, so he naturally felt the same sadness as the fox died.
"King Tiandu said that the Marshal of the Guard also commands 20,000 troops. If he has no ability and responsibility at all, he will naturally not be qualified. Luofan can easily knock down Li Benshuo, but if an assassin comes, how can he protect the palace? Safety. Okay, everyone, don’t discuss this matter. King Tiandu knows that you are not familiar with the palace, and is afraid that you will not be able to let go, so he specially ordered me to assist you in investigating the case. If you need anything, just tell me. By the way, that Luofan Well, don't let him run around anymore, otherwise King Tiandu won't be able to protect him." Long Xilin.
"Oh, don't worry. He is in the Fairy Flower Palace next door. I asked my second sister to follow him and nothing will happen again. After we finish checking here, we will also go to the Fairy Flower Palace." Xie Xu.
In the Immortal Flower Palace, Zhao Xue hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Luofan! How dare you hit Li Benshuo? I've learned a lot about it." "Hey. Actually this is a multiple-choice question. Li Benshuo is the marshal of the army. He He just wanted to beat me eighty times. If I don't want to be beaten, I have only two ways, one is to please him, the other is to beat him down. I don't want to please him, so I can only beat him down." Luo. Fan responded while observing his surroundings.
"But, if you beat him, aren't you afraid that King Tiandu will blame you, remove you from your post, or put you in jail?" Zhao Xue asked.
"I'm not afraid. I used to be just a head catcher. I've never been afraid of anyone. Be it Dongjie County Magistrate or Jing Lei Divine Catcher, these titles are not necessary for me. If King Tiandu wants to put me in jail, then I'll run away. Feng Laijiang can't stop me, and no one in the palace can stop me. Besides, Li Benxin wanted to use me to deal with Sima Yue, but he was worried that my power would shock the master, so the more arrogant I became and the more people I offended, the more serious he became. Happy."
"Well, you are not restricted. It seems that it is no problem to learn how to run around the world with wind and thunder legs. Oh, why is this Fairy Flower Palace so desolate? It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. Which room in this palace is not It’s full of flowers and fairy grass, but why are there so many pine trees here? It’s like a cemetery!” Zhao Xue looked around and asked.
"Yes, it is desolate and desolate. The former has passed away, leaving only the green mud and loess. If Xue Yuran were here, he would probably recite some sad words about spring and autumn. I heard that Li Yilong was also a romantic back then. He Within a few years of becoming King of Tiandu, he expanded the Tiandu Palace by hundreds of rooms and collected hundreds of beauties to enrich the harem. Moreover, he also fell in love with his former brother, Lin, the concubine of former Crown Prince Li Tingyou. Flowers. It was estimated that his status could not allow him to marry openly, so he built such a fairy flower palace next to his Chuyang Palace. The golden house hides the beauty. But the Linhua did not like flowers, only green pines. Hundreds of green pines were planted here. . What a pity, those who love flowers are beautiful, those who love bamboo are cold-hearted, and those who love pine trees may only have sadness in their hearts. Lin Hua moved into the Fairy Flower Palace, but her beauty disappeared in less than half a year, and this place has been convenient ever since. Empty. From my inference, Lin Hua loves pine trees. She clearly uses these pine trees to express her grief and replace her relatives who were killed by Li Yilong. This is the grave that Lin Hua found for herself!"
"Hey! People who stand at the top only know how to enjoy themselves, and they don't care about propriety, justice and shame. As a woman, especially a beautiful woman, she can only be a trophy that the strong fight for. Hey, sometimes I just want to be a walking girl. It is so satisfying for a hero in the martial arts world to punish rape and eradicate evil, and to gratify one's will. Now that he has entered the court, it is really unpleasant to support this and fawn over that." Zhao Xue sighed.
"There will be a happy day. I think there are pine trees here, and there must be many ghosts at night. If there is a strong man hiding, it may be a good place. Let's look around."
The two looked around, searching all the palace rooms and gardens. Then, Luofan came to the garden and stopped in front of a well. This well is called Riyue Well, and it is very unusual. Steam is gushing out from the well mouth, and the well water inside seems to be boiling. Luofan actually knew the specialness of this well. His master Li Zhaoxian once brought him to the palace and told him all the secrets here.
When the Tiandu Palace was built a hundred and fifty years ago, two underground rivers were discovered underground, a hot water river and an icy water river. At that time, Tiandu King Li Yunfeng's military advisor, Lu Huotang, built a secret tunnel based on the underground situation, which could be used to escape from future attacks on the palace. And this well is the entrance to the secret passage.
Luofan had already guessed that the murderer might have climbed out of the Sun Moon Well to commit the crime, but he couldn't say it directly. After all, this was a secret of the palace. If he, an outsider, knew it so well, it would arouse suspicion.
"Hey, is there anything strange about this well?" Zhao Xue came over and asked after seeing Luo Fan standing in front of the well mouth for a long time.
"Look, the water in this well is hot. It's so strange." Luofan pretended to be ignorant and pointed.
"Hey, yes. It's still steaming, which is really weird. Could it be that there is a natural hot spring underground here? But the water is so hot, so it's impossible for bad guys to hide here."
"I think there may be some mystery down here. Just watch, and I'll go down and take a look."
"Hey! The walls of this well are flat and there is no place for climbing. If you fall, you will be cooked. It's better not to take risks." Zhao Xue stopped him hastily.
"Then let's find a rope." Luo Fan then looked around. I happened to see a vine growing wildly on the wall beside me, so I pulled it out to use as a rope. Then he dragged the rope down the well.
When we arrived about a foot into the well, we saw a gap in the well wall. There seemed to be some kind of mechanism hidden inside, but we had to have the key to open the mechanism. Luo Fan knew that the key to this secret escape route should be in Li Benxin's hand. However, since the key is in Li Benxin's hand, how did the villain get to and from the palace from the well. If there is no key to close the underground mechanism, the water in the well will be either boiling hot water or a freezing ice spring, making it impossible for people to swim across.
"Oh, I understand. Zhang Tianjun said that the thief sneaked into the palace to commit crimes once every half a month, and the alternating time between the hot water river and the cold water river should also be half a month. When the hot and cold water meet, there should be a short period of time. The well water is warm, so you can take advantage of the opportunity to swim here! It seems that this villain must be someone familiar with the palace, or even someone from the palace. "
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of footsteps of a group of people suddenly came from outside, and Luo Fan immediately flew out of the well.
