Swish…
Two blasts of wind, mixed with two strong murderous intentions, approached Lin Dao from two completely different directions.
Lin Dao stood there, motionless.
He didn't look around because there was no need for that.
The murderous intent is getting closer and closer.
Two swords, like two thunders, suddenly broke into the void.
They have only one goal, and that is Lin Dao.
The moment the two knives fell, Lin Dao finally moved.
His figure flashed slightly, and he appeared behind one of the guards like a ghost.
Then, without any fancy, he cut it down gently with a palm.
The palm falls and the person faints!
When the other person saw this, he stopped suddenly, his eyes full of fear. At the same time as he looked at Lin Dao, the hand holding the knife was trembling.
Lin Dao frowned slightly.
"Who are you? No...don't come..."
The man shouted loudly, trying to call his companions in the cave to come out and help.
Lin Dao sighed slightly.
Then he took a step forward and came directly in front of that person.
"If you can't hold a knife firmly, don't hold a knife."
"Because a knife is not a toy that can be taken care of casually."
Lin Dao slowly said these two sentences in the man's ear.
After finishing speaking, he gently raised his hand and used a knife to make him unconscious.
Lin Dao slowly picked up the knife in his hand.
At this moment, the people in the cave were attracted by the cry just now.
"who are you?"
The person who asked the question was a middle-aged man, dressed like a barbarian, with broad arms and a round waist, holding two axes, and a sinister look on his face.
Behind him, there were about twenty people, holding various weapons in their hands, surrounding Lin Dao.
Everyone has murderous intent in their eyes.
Lin Dao looked at these people and said nothing.
He rarely spoke, especially when facing dying people, and he was even less willing to waste his words with them.
Because it's simply not necessary.
He prefers talking to these people with a knife than with his tongue.
Speaking this way is often more effective than using your mouth.
His knife is on his back.
But he didn't draw the knife.
Because he has a knife in his hand.
This knife belonged to the unconscious guard, but at this moment, it was in his hand.
He slowly held the knife and looked at the person in front of him quietly.
The face of the middle-aged barbarian became gloomy.
"Why don't you say anything... In that case, then be prepared to pay the price!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly raised the ax in his hand.
"Kill me!"
The surrounding barbarians, under this order, waved their weapons and came over to kill him.
As Lin Dao flashed and moved, the knife in his hand also danced like a windmill, blooming with a bright light.
At the same time, Huo Yuanji and Ling Xiaowu secretly took action.
As soon as Huo Yuanji took action, the inner power of the fire in his hand shocked all the enemies in the cave.
The inner flame, which was like substance, almost frightened the courage of these people.
"Fire demon, fire demon..."
"This person must be the legendary fire demon!"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Yuanji's nose was so angry that he wanted to grab these people's ears and ask.
Have you ever seen such a handsome fire demon?
Of course, I don’t know if the other party can listen.
Compared to him, the noise caused by Ling Xiaowu was much smaller.
First of all, Ling Xiaowu's Taiyi Immortal Demon Internal Power is not as eye-catching as Huoji's internal power.
Secondly, Ling Xiaowu's internal strength is restrained, and every move is unpretentious, simple and direct, with one punch and one kick, nothing fancy.
Although there are many people coming out of the cave, most of them are not very powerful.
Under the attack of three people, he often could not hold on for more than a few moves and was defeated miserably.
After a while, only two people were left standing.
One of them was a barbarian man holding an axe.
This person looks like he should be the leader of this group of people.
The other person, although young and not knowing any systematic martial arts moves, persisted by relying on his own reaction ability and speed.
He is none other than Slaughter Wolf.
The big man with the ax looked at his companions lying on the ground in a mess, and then at the three people in front of him who were unharmed, and his heart was filled with fear.
Is this still a human being?
With just three people, in such a short period of time, they defeated more than 30 of their own masters.
He had an intuition that none of the three people in front of him could handle him with his level of strength.
As the leader of this group of people, he felt weak for the first time in his life.
Seeing Lin Dao and the others slowly moving forward, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
But he soon regretted it.
Because he saw Tulang, who was in the same situation as himself, not taking a step back.
Instead of retreating, Tu Lang kept staring at the three people in front of him.
In his opinion, this was simply seeking death.
But Tu Lang was younger than him, but he was able to face the enemy bravely without flinching.
But he would only cowardly escape and retreat.
This is simply a shame.
At this moment, what the big man with the ax thought of was not the result of Wolf Slaughter's actions, but the image of him laughing at himself.
I have to say, this is a bit subtle.
But it is true.
So, after retreating, the big man with the ax forced his body to take a few steps forward.
Ling Xiaowu glanced at him with interest.
"Although you do show your bravery by doing so."
"But for us, such bravery is really... silly."
The moment the last word fell, Ling Xiaowu knocked Tu Lang and him unconscious.
The three of them came to the deepest part of the cave. As soon as they stepped in, they saw a small cage in a corner of the cave.
In the cage, there was a woman with a somewhat miserable appearance.
Her coat was torn to an unknown location, and she was only wearing a simple small coat. Large expanses of snow-white skin were exposed, and some scars and bruises were faintly visible scattered among them.
Her hair accessories were thrown away unknown where, and her hair was spread out, covering her face, making it difficult to see clearly.
Seeing this scene, the three of them didn't know how to express themselves.
According to the intelligence, the woman in front of me should be the eighth princess imprisoned here.
But since she is a princess, why is she in such a miserable state?
what on earth is it?
Just as she was thinking about it, the eighth princess in the cage seemed to realize that someone was coming, and she looked up with a pair of confused and frightened eyes.
When people see it, they can't help but feel pity.
"Who are you?"
She seemed to recognize that the three people in front of her were strangers, and couldn't help but ask.
"Are they also here to vent their anger on me?" she asked again.
Huo Yuanji sighed softly and spoke.
"We are here to save people. May I ask, are you the eighth princess of the Barbarian Kingdom?"
Hearing this, the Eighth Princess suddenly raised her head, her eyes hidden under her hair shining brightly.
"Are you really here to save me?" she said in disbelief.
"Yes." Huo Yuanji nodded.
At this moment, a fierce fighting sound came from next door, and after a while, calm returned.
Huo Yuanji slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Woniu Mountain was completely under their control.
…
…
Xue Tianhan looked at the outside side of the window and smiled.
To be more precise, he was looking at the part that corresponded to the window latch.
Because there is a small round hole there.
Xue Tianhan compared the position and found that the small round hole happened to correspond to the end of the window latch that was fixed on the window.
"Brother Chen, here."
Chen Yutian had just finished questioning the captain of Team 11. While he was thinking, he heard Xue Tianhan calling him, so he temporarily suppressed the questions in his mind and came to Xue Tianhan.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Xue Tianhan pointed to the window latch, and then pointed to the round hole outside.
Chen Yutian watched Xue Tianhan demonstrate the function of the window latch, but it was nothing.
But when he saw the round hole, an idea flashed in his mind, and then he compared their positions, and a sudden realization came to his mind.
He looked at Xue Tianhan, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"I see... This design is indeed a good way to create a secret room."
"But it still needs to be tested. If it is feasible, then the method they used to create this secret room will be roughly clear..."
Xue Tianhan said calmly.
Chen Yutian nodded, "Indeed, but one thing I don't understand is how the murderer kidnapped the second princess quietly? The second princess is not dead after all. If she was caught by a stranger, she would definitely struggle and scream. ?”
"Maybe the other party used smoke to stun her."
"Well, it is indeed possible." Chen Yutian affirmed.
"But I always feel that things are not that simple."
Xue Tianhan frowned slightly and said nothing.
After a stick of incense, the on-site survey work was basically completed.
The scene was handed over to Tai Gong and his subordinates who hurried into the palace from outside.
Originally, there was a special agency in the palace responsible for incidents like this that happened in the inner courtyard of the harem.
However, since the disappearance of the princess was assumed to be caused by the fox demon spirit concubine, the investigation of the case was handed over to the Taigong who was responsible for the matter.
When Yuan Lin came this time, in addition to taking over the scene, he also made a discovery.
This discovery is related to the poisoning of the two princes.
Based on Yuan Lin's investigation over the past two days, he asked one thing.
That is, before the two princes had a hunting competition, as a sign of friendship, they offered tea instead of wine in the pavilion and toasted each other.
"It's unmistakable. The withered wood grass should have been drunk at that time." Chen Yutian said with great certainty.
"Do you know who provided those two cups of tea?"
"That's the problem. I checked everyone, and they don't know where the tea comes from. Do you think it's strange?"
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly.
Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows.
The three girls Xuan Xi also looked surprised.
"Why can't we find out? Since we know that the prince drinks tea, then there is always someone serving tea. Wouldn't we know by asking the person serving tea?" Tang Fengling said.
"If only things really were that simple."
Yuan Lin smiled even harder.
"I asked the person who served the tea, and he said that the tea had been prepared and placed in the imperial dining room early in the morning, but he didn't know whether there was garbage in it from the beginning."
"I asked him again who made the tea, and he said he didn't know. He only knew that it was arranged for the chefs in the imperial dining room early in the morning."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"I've worked hard on this matter. Since the clues have pointed to the Imperial Kitchen Room, let's leave it to us who live in the palace to investigate."
"I think so too." Yuan Lin nodded.
"After all, it will be much easier for you to investigate."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, then looked around and found that Jie Li had left.
"Has His Majesty left?"
"Oh, His Majesty had something else to do, so he left first. He asked me to tell you that you must solve the case as soon as possible, and there must not be another missing princess."
Yuan Lin replied.
Chen Yutian nodded, "I understand... I'll leave this to the palace first, and we'll go investigate the imperial dining room first."
"Okay, leave this to me first."
Yuan Lin nodded, and Chen Yutian immediately led everyone away.
After walking a few steps, Xuan Xi discovered that Gongsun had been frowning and thinking since just now, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Gongsun, what are you thinking about?"
One sentence brought Gongsun's thoughts back.
He looked at Xuan Xi and suddenly asked solemnly: "Have you noticed that Jie Li is a little different today than usual?"
"Oh?" Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all shaking their heads slightly.
"No. He looks exactly the same as usual. What's the difference?"
Xuan Xi looked at him curiously.
The others were also a little confused and all looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun thought for a while, "Well... how should I put it? Maybe you don't pay enough attention. I found that his complexion is a bit bad."
"Could he be sick?" Ling Miaoyin guessed.
"It's unlikely." Gongsun shook his head, "Because his complexion didn't just get worse today. I had the same feeling when I saw him a few times before, but it was not obvious, but today it is particularly obvious."
Chen Yutian tried his best to recall Jie Li's appearance before, but still couldn't see where his complexion had deteriorated.
Maybe it's because Gongsun is a doctor, so he is particularly sensitive to this aspect.
"How do you say this?" Xue Tianhan was confused.
"For example, his complexion today is worse than what I saw yesterday, yesterday was worse than what I saw the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday was worse than what I saw the day before yesterday..."
Everyone was almost stunned by what he said yesterday and the day before yesterday, so they quickly stopped him.
"You mean...his complexion is getting worse day by day..."
Chen Yutian's expression became solemn.
"Yes, and the changes are getting bigger and bigger. This is not like a normal sign of illness." Gongsun nodded slightly.
Xue Tianhan also became serious and asked, "In your opinion, what could be the reason?"
Gongsun thought for a while, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Based on my experience, there is only one possibility."
"That's...poisoning. Moreover, it should be a chronic poison!"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian and others were immediately shocked!
"You mean... someone poisoned him, and he used chronic poison?"
Chen Yutian slowly spoke in disbelief.
"Yes, according to my judgment, this is the only possibility."
Gongsun nodded with great certainty.
