now.
Nangong Xue is looking at the map in the palace.
As she watched, she asked Eunuch Cao: "In the harem, is every palace equipped with a well?"
"No." Eunuch Cao shook his head.
"Where isn't it?" Nangong Xue asked.
Eunuch Cao hesitated for a while.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to hide, Xue Mu comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Eunuch Cao. Everything is for the purpose of handling the case. You can tell it."
Nangong Xue also nodded: "Yes, if Eunuch Cao knows about it and doesn't report it, it will only affect the progress of our investigation of the case. If the Queen Mother is blamed, I don't think Eunuch Cao can bear it."
Hearing this, Cao Gonggou explained in embarrassment: "I must tell these two adults everything I need to know. Not every building in the harem is equipped with a well. There is a place where there is no well."
Nangong Xue asked: "Where is it?"
"Leng Gong." Eunuch Cao replied with a guilty conscience: "Since His Majesty sent several concubines to the Leng Palace in the early years, two of them jumped into the well and died. Later, the Queen Mother at the time requested that the well in the Leng Palace be sealed. "
"So, if there is no well in the harem, there is only the cold palace."
After listening to Eunuch Cao's explanation, Nangong Xue also understood why he was unwilling to speak out.
After all, this is a place like Leng Palace.
It can also be regarded as a topic that is avoided in the harem.
No matter it is a high-ranking concubine or a talented person who has just entered the palace, they do not dare to mock the people in the cold palace easily.
Because, if you are not careful, they may become the people inside.
Life in the palace can be said to be like walking on ice.
After Nangong Xue learned that there was no well in Leng Palace, she could not find any more clues for a while.
Helpless, she had to put the map of the palace back in place and said to Eunuch Cao: "Now we can only mark the palaces where cats meowed before, as well as the places where palace maids and eunuchs fell into wells and died, to see if there are any traces between them. connect?"
Eunuch Cao nodded: "Okay, then I will put the palace map away."
With that said, he stepped forward to put the map away, then held it up with both hands, came behind the screen and said to Lan Jiuyun: "Empress, the two adults have already read the map."
I saw Lan Jiuyun behind the screen and asked calmly: "Oh? Are there any clues?"
Nangong Xue responded outside the screen: "Back to the Queen, currently we need to collect the places where we heard the cat meowing and the places where the murder occurred to see if there is a necessary connection. If there are clues, we will inform the Queen as soon as possible. "
Lan Jiuyun on the screen nodded, and finally said: "Nangong Xue, the Ai family also knows that you are the number one arrester in the capital. This time, the cat demon case in the harem has turned the world upside down. If the truth is not found out, If His Majesty finds out, it will be difficult for everyone, including your aunt, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue immediately replied: "Queen, I understand that I will do my best."
"Well, go ahead." Lan Jiuyun waved his hand without saying much.
Then Nangong Xue pulled Xue Mu's sleeve.
Both of them also left Kunning Palace.
After leaving the palace, Eunuch Cao walked out immediately.
He and Nangong Xue said: "Master Nangong, tonight I will write down all the places where cats meow in these days and the wells where murders were discovered."
"Then I have to thank Eunuch Cao." Nangong Xue cupped her hands and said.
Eunuch Cao quickly shook his head: "You're welcome, two adults. I hope that I can help you solve the case as soon as possible. Now that the cat demon case has made people panic, I feel uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Cao, we will definitely find clues as soon as possible." Xue Mu replied.
Not long after, Eunuch Cao left.
Nangong Xue and Xue Mu walked on the road towards the gate of the palace.
During this period, Nangong Xue asked Xue Mu: "What do you think?"
"This matter is indeed very strange." Xue Mu explained: "From the last case to now, everyone has also died by jumping into a well. They also heard a cat meowing the night before and found the body the next day. Only But last time it was a palace maid, this time it’s a eunuch.”
Nangong Xue nodded: "Yes, these two things were obviously done deliberately by someone to create panic."
"We have also asked the maids of Xinzheku before. They said that although the deceased had a hard life, he had no thoughts of committing suicide, so they felt that someone must have deliberately murdered him." Xue Mu replied.
Nangong Xue became curious: "In that case, if it were you now, where would you choose to start?"
Xue Mu smiled and said: "Sister Xue'er, please don't take the test on me. I'm at a loss now."
"I didn't expect that even you wouldn't know how to do it." Nangong Xue teased.
"Actually, it's normal. After all, I am not a god, so I will naturally have difficulties." Xue Mu suggested: "But I do suggest that you can use the Forbidden Army."
"Custodes."
"Yes, I just heard your aunt say that you can ask the commander in charge of the Forbidden Army if they have noticed any abnormalities?" Xue Mu explained.
After hearing this, Nangong Xue hesitated.
You know, the commander of the Imperial Palace is not something they can just meet whenever they want.
Although the Divine Catcher Division is only responsible for His Majesty alone.
Can override any department.
But as the imperial army protects the palace, they are naturally His Majesty's confidants.
So if you want to meet with the commander of the Forbidden Army, you probably have to inform Lu Jianghe.
So she said: "Okay, I know this. I will talk to Mr. Lu. Let's go back first."
"Um."
Xue Mu also walked together.
Nangong Xue suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Why does Concubine Wan Gui come to you alone every time?"
Seeing that she seemed a little suspicious, Xue Mu could only say awkwardly: "I don't know this either."
As a woman, Nangong Xue has a vague sixth sense.
Then she warned Xue Mu: "She is Wan Guifei and the emperor's woman. You must be careful. If you are not careful, it will be a serious crime of beheading."
"Okay, thank you Sister Xue'er for reminding me." Xue Mu naturally knew that if the emperor found out that his woman had personally helped him.
Not to mention beheading him, he might even kill all nine tribes.
[From now on, it’s better to stay away from Mo Xi’er, otherwise, I’m afraid that if something happens, we’ll be in trouble. 】
Xue Mu suggested to himself.
After walking out of the palace, Nangong Xue planned to separate from Xue Mu.
Before leaving, she asked again: "By the way, that's the fish I cooked. Do you really like it?"
Nangong Xue still didn't believe that he actually liked to eat such unpalatable fish?
Xue Mu had no choice but to reply awkwardly: "It's quite delicious."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue was moved.
If Xue Mu eats it and finds it delicious, then his taste is different from others.
If you haven't eaten it, then lying to yourself that it tastes delicious is a white lie.
No matter what, in Nangong Xue's eyes, Xue Mu's behavior may mean that he likes herself.
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but turn red.
After all, the two of them had experienced life and death dangers again and again before this.
The most important thing is that when Xue Mu drank the acacia water, he helped to draw out the liquid himself.
In public and private matters, the two of them have long gone beyond the ordinary behavior between men and women.
So Nangong Xue thought it was necessary to give him a hint.
After all, the idea of men and women not being intimate has long been engraved in her bones.
Regardless of whether Xue Mu is willing or not, Nangong Xue must rely on him.
Seeing her walking, Xue Mu asked, "Sister Xue'er, should I leave first?"
Nangong Xue wanted to say something, but she considered that the time was not right and she had to solve the current cat demon case no matter what, so she said: "Okay, then you can leave first."
Xue Mu left immediately.
Nangong Xue looked at his back and hesitated to speak.
Finally, she returned to the Divine Catching Division and went to see Lu Jianghe, planning to talk about finding the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Xue Mu walked towards home.
But while going back, he was also thinking about what happened in the palace today.
What he was thinking about was not the cat monster case, but the map in the queen's palace.
If you find a way to make a copy of it, then take it out secretly.
Maybe leave it to Murong Dai, and when she is happy, she can even reward herself with a female disciple to practice with.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xue Mu suddenly felt someone behind him.
He immediately turned his head and waved his hand.
Murong Dai took a step back and said calmly: "You are trying to sneak up on me as a teacher."
When Xue Mu heard the voice of Murong Dai, he quickly raised his hands and said respectfully: "This disciple has met the master."
Murong Dai looked at him, thinking that she hadn't seen him for some days.
Now that I see him, I feel somewhat happy.
But she still said calmly: "What have you been doing recently?"
"Disciple is solving a case." Xue Mu replied.
"What case?"
He explained: "It's the so-called cat demon case in the palace."
"Imperial Palace? Can you enter and leave the palace freely now?" Murong Dai asked.
Xue Mu shook his head: "You can't come in and out freely yet? But I have gone in several times these days."
Murong Dai was also surprised, and then she asked: "Then have you seen the dog emperor?"
Xue Mu saw Murong Dai directly shouting the words of the Dog Emperor on the street. If someone heard this, she might be reported to the official.
So he quickly pulled Murong Dai to the side and whispered: "Master, this is the capital city. You are such a tight-lipped dog emperor. If someone with official duties hears it, you will be in trouble."
"So what if I heard it?" Murong Dai replied expressionlessly: "Is it possible that they are still my opponents?"
"You can beat them, but if they know that I am an undercover agent of the Guangming Sect, I will no longer be able to continue in the Divine Catcher Division. Isn't an important link missing?" Xue Mu brainwashed Murong Dai. .
After listening to what Xue Mu said, she felt that it made sense, and finally said: "Then who did you see in the palace?"
"Disciple met the Queen. After all, the cat demon case is in the harem, so the Queen is responsible for this matter." Xue Mu replied.
When Murong Dai heard him mention the queen, she couldn't help but raise her fists, and her heart was filled with fire.
You know, before her mother died, she still missed the days when she was with Emperor Na Qing.
If Emperor Qing hadn't been so despicable and shameless, crossing rivers and destroying bridges, the current mother of a country must be her mother.
Murong Dai naturally could not forgive such an unkind, unfaithful and unfilial dog emperor.
Then she said: "You have to find a way to get close to that dog emperor, and then let him remember you. This way, you will have a chance to assassinate him."
After hearing this, Xue Mu was speechless for a moment.
Not to mention how many masters there are in the palace.
How could Si Qianhu, a little magician like him, meet the emperor?
Murong Dai also thought too highly of herself.
He had no choice but to explain: "Master, now I am just a divine catcher Si Qianhu. If I were a commander in chief, I might still be able to see His Majesty. But now I am only a fifth-rank official. I am afraid that I will see His Majesty." The possibility is slim, let alone becoming his confidant.”
Murong Dai also knew that this was indeed difficult for Xue Mu.
Seeing that she seemed a little disappointed, Xue Mu decided to give him a big gift.
He replied: "Master, I have prepared a big gift for you."
"What kind of gift?" Murong Dai asked.
Xue Mu explained: "I saw the palace map in the queen's palace, but I couldn't take it out, and I couldn't see, so I was trying to figure out how to make a copy."
Hearing this, Murong Dai's eyes suddenly lit up.
She immediately said: "It's simple, you come back to the Guangming Sect with me, and I will order someone to teach you how to copy the rubbings."
"Ah, is there any such method?" Xue Mu was a little surprised.
"This is natural, otherwise why do you think the Guangming Sect can resist the imperial court for so long." Murong Dai said, turned around, and then said to him: "Okay, you follow me."
Then, she left quickly.
Xue Mu heard the footsteps and immediately stopped him: "Master, I can't see, you have to take me with you."
The next second, Murong Dai appeared in front of him again.
She said helplessly: "Master, I forgot that you have an eye disease."
Xue Mu pretended to be sad and said: "Master, please be more careful."
"You call again."
"Okay, Master, I shut up."
Murong Dai grabbed his hand and left quickly.
On the way to the top of the Guangming Sect, Xue Mu suddenly thought of the promise Murong Dai had made to him before, so he asked curiously: "Master, you said before that you would give me a female disciple with a feminine physique to help me practice. of."
"You are now at the fifth level of opening meridians. Currently, there are no female disciples in the sect who are stronger than you and have a feminine physique."
"If you have to find someone with lower strength than you, not only will your skill not improve, but it will suffer backlash. Are you willing?"
When Xue Mu heard this, he quickly shook his head: "Then I won't do this. Not only will I not get a promotion, I will also have to lose a certain amount of strength."
Murong Dai didn't speak after hearing this.
But Xue Mu asked the next second: "Master, you have never mentioned your physique before. What kind of physique do you have? Could it be that you have a feminine physique? How about we master and disciple practice together?"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Dai grabbed Xue Mu's right hand and exerted force.
"Master, it hurts! It hurts!"
"The butterfly."
I recommend a good friend's book "I Added Some Points in the World to Become a God" Killing and Decisive adds a little panel flow and plot flow. Introduction: "Thief Cao, you...who are you?!"
"Your Majesty, you really want to know?"
"explain!"
"In your eyes, I am the pillar of the imperial court who is devoted to the country."
"I am the Destined Demon Lord who bursts out of demonic flames in the rivers and lakes every thousand years."
"I am also the Lord of the Dragon Palace who has been hiding in secret for hundreds of years."
"You...you...or who else!"
"I am still Cao Bin, the Cao from the underworld, so polite and courteous."
