Lu Xiaofeng took back the key and touched the groove with her index finger, which was not smooth at all. Then she clapped her hands happily and laughed:
"Hua Man Lou, you are right! That's it! How could I forget it? Master Zhu Ting is Master Zhu Ting. Jin Tongguo may indeed have only one key, but Zhu Ting can make a second identical key. Come on! This is the hint he gave me, and I only realized it now!"
As his thoughts were opened, Huamanlou also thought of the place where he felt the violation before. He turned to ask Huazhaolou: "By the way, fifth brother, what was the name of King Jinzhong you just said?"
"Charab, what's wrong?"
"Lu Xiaofeng, if I remember correctly, the prime minister's son, that is, the man who is following Princess Jinling, his name is Chalagaru."
"Yes, you remember correctly."
"Fifth brother, do you know what Chalagaru means?"
"Let me think about it, Lao Bu taught me... It seems like... Oh! I remembered, it's the talons of a falcon!"
Huazhaolou said, laughed, and continued:
"It seems that the relationship between the late king and the prime minister is really good. The prince's name is Falcon, and the prime minister named his son Falcon's Claw. Isn't this because he wants his son to help the prince expand the territory and protect the country?"
"Don't tell me, from this perspective alone, it may be true that the late king gave the prime minister an edict to appoint Prince Jinling as the crown prince! It's a pity that this young general abandoned his future and ran away with Princess Jinling. Alas, After all, it’s hard to escape your childhood sweetheart, you’re still too young.”
Hua Zhaolou shook his head empathetically as he spoke. He looked like he had a lot of emotional experience. Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were amused by his jumping thoughts, but they kept silent as they sorted out clues. Chu Qi suddenly seemed to understand something.
She suddenly realized: "Huamanlou, I understand what you mean! Lu Xiaofeng, do you still remember how King Jinzhong described the Divine Sword in the hall today? He said that the Divine Sword can hurt people invisible. , He only said this!"
Lu Xiaofeng also understood everything. He instantly understood what Chu Qi wanted to explain, and followed her words:
"Yes! You are right! He didn't know anything about the Rusty Sword turning into a human being, so the first batch of dead soldiers were not his people at all! In other words, in Jintong's country, except for Princess Jinling and Prince Jinzhong, There are still third-party forces!"
——————
The current situation in Jintong's country is really strange. Therefore, although Huazhao Tower was just released for repairs overnight, it was packed up and sent away by his own brother early the next morning, including his own caravan. capital.
As for Huamanlou himself, he decided to stay and continue to investigate the theft case of the Golden Eye Orb with Lu Xiaofeng. After all, he couldn't afford to leave his friend to risk his life alone in a foreign country to investigate the case.
Huazhaolou tried to persuade her, but he knew that Huamanlou seemed gentle but was actually stubborn at heart, so he had to give up in the end.
But they were repeatedly told not to go too deep, and to evacuate immediately if something was wrong, so as not to be drawn into the whirlpool of this palace incident.
The two of them repeatedly promised that they would pay attention to safety, especially when Lu Xiaofeng joked that since there were fewer people around now, even if they really caused trouble based on their abilities, they would at least be able to escape safely.
Although this was a joke, it made Huazhaolou feel a little more at ease, and then he was willing to leave obediently.
The leader Huazhaolou and the others hired for their return trip this time was a local from Mobei. As for Lao Bu, Huamanlou stayed by his side to continue observing.
Most of the people in the caravan he led were packed into the return team, leaving only seven or eight trustworthy people who pretended to be still purchasing goods. Therefore, Lao Bu did not Doubtful.
That night, in order to find out the true situation of the Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou sneaked into the palace together with Chu Qi.
Huamanlou's ears were very good, especially on a quiet night, and even the slightest noise could not be detected by him. In addition, there were indeed very few guards at the treasure pavilion, so they managed to sneak in with almost no effort.
As soon as she entered, Lu Xiaofeng was shocked by the sight in front of her.
"Huamanlou, tell me, under what circumstances would a treasure house become empty?"
As if he had never thought that Lu Xiaofeng would ask such a question, Huamanlou was stunned for a while before answering hesitantly: "Perhaps, it was after being evacuated?"
Yes, the huge treasure pavilion of the palace looks splendid from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you can find that it is actually empty inside. All the dozens of rows of display shelves are empty!
Chu Qi manifested his body, reached out and wiped it lightly on the shelf nearest to him, then clapped his hands and said:
"There is dust on it, but not much. You can still see the marks left on the shelves when the items were placed here before. Therefore, they should have been emptied not long ago."
Lu Xiaofeng stood there and pondered for a while, and then took the lead in moving. He started groping around and tapping on the wall.
"Let's look for the entrance to the secret room first. No matter what, we must at least go in and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues about the prisoner."
