After a burst of hurried shouts and footsteps, calm returned to the tunnel.
"What are they doing?"
Wu Qinghui spoke in a very low voice.
"It seems like something is being planted."
Su Qinqin shook her head.
"Closer."
The two moved some distance towards the fire again, and this time, they heard even louder noises.
"There was the sound of hoeing."
Wu Qinghui turned around and looked at Su Qinqin, only to find that Su Qinqin's face didn't look right at this time.
"What's the matter?"
Su Qinqin said doubtfully
"Qing Hui, do you feel that there is a very familiar smell?"
Wu Qinghui sniffed it twice and his eyes moved.
"It seems there is!"
She sniffed it twice and suddenly her eyes widened.
"The eunuchs who massacred the Imperial Army a few days ago had this smell on them!"
Su Qinqin's eyes also lit up, this is indeed the taste!
"Look closer."
The two continued to walk forward until they were less than twenty feet away from the two officers and soldiers.
It was very dark in the tunnel. Even if the officer and soldier held a torch, it could only illuminate a distance of less than ten feet in front of them. Therefore, the two of them were hiding in the dark against the mud wall and were not easily noticed.
At this stage, the ground returned to the muddy ground. The officer and soldier were digging the ground with a hoe. After only a few digs, another officer and soldier holding a torch handed him something, and then he planted it into the ground. In the dug hole, the soil was flattened with a hoe.
"Let's just leave it like this. There are so many flowers, and I don't know how long it will take to plant them."
"People at other major nodes should have started work by now. Everyone in the palace has been sent here in the past few days."
"It's not like there are several nodes in the busy city, so we can't send people."
"It's a coincidence that the old man's house is next to us. We didn't send anyone. We have finished our work here and have to go to that place to continue our work."
As he said that, the officer and soldier suddenly raised the torches in their hands towards Wu Qinghui and the others, shocking the two of them into a cold sweat.
Then, the officer and soldier actually walked over here!
The two of them were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe!
The fire was getting closer and closer to the two of them. The two of them huddled together and clung to the mud wall, wishing they could embed their bodies into the mud wall.
It wasn't until the fire reached a distance of about ten feet that it finally stopped. The officer and soldier waved the torch on his hand and said with a smile.
"Look, you can't see the end ahead, and you don't know where this tunnel leads."
The officers and soldiers who were still holding hoes stretched themselves and said feebly.
"Whatever, I just want to finish early and go home to sleep."
The officers and soldiers holding the torch walked back again. Su Qinqin and Wu Qinghui didn't dare to stay here any longer. They moved backward furtively until they were far enough away, and then they quickly ran back.
"How's it going? Have you seen those officers and soldiers?"
Madam Liu has regained her energy, and Madam Hu has also woken up.
Su Qin Qindao
"I saw it, they seem to be planting flowers in this tunnel."
"Growing flowers? It's so dark here, can the flowers survive? Besides, so many officers and soldiers come here to plant flowers like this, how busy are they?"
"Stop talking, let's go back. It seems we can only go so far today."
Wu Qinghui wiped the cold sweat on her head. The episode just now really shocked her.
"Then let's go back first."
Su Qinqin also said.
In the city lord's mansion.
Yan Sihai was doing exercises and regulating his breathing in the yard.
Hu Qi walked in, followed by a large group of Jianghu people.
Yan Sihai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the longevity flowers placed aside.
"Mr. Ghost Doctor, seven days have passed. You are too leisurely."
There is no news about Chang Sheng so far, and Hu Qi is even more anxious when he sees that Yan Sihai is still free to practice.
"Why, I have shaken a lot of people, is it useful?"
Yan Sihai glanced at them, and Hu Qi became even more angry, secretly thinking, that would be better than you sitting here.
"Okay, it's almost time, and it's time for us to pick up Sheng Wazi."
Yan Sihai stood up and said suddenly.
These words made Hu Qi and others look confused.
"Let's go, why are you standing there? Don't you want to look for Sheng Wazi every day?"
With that said, Yan Sihai grabbed the flower pot on the side, and quickly jumped out of the city lord's mansion in a flash. Hu Qi and others saw this, and even if they were confused, they followed him.
As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Sihai stopped on the street again. Just as he was about to step forward to ask, he saw Yan Sihai staring at the flowerpot in his hand.
The immortal flower buds in the flowerpot moved in a rare move, and the flower branches bent over strangely, slowly pointing towards the west.
Yan Sihai smiled slightly and said
"Haha, I'm really anxious."
Then he ran wildly out of Taiyang Road and headed west. Along the way, the longevity flower seemed to be alive, constantly guiding Yan Sihai in the direction.
A group of people ran wildly on the street for a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped in front of Lu's steamed bun shop on Handicraft Street.
"So this is it."
Yan Sihai's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice.
"This flower can actually recognize its owner?"
Hu Qiqi said.
The people in the world behind him also said
"As expected of Sister Chang Sheng's flower."
At this time, the door of the bun shop had been broken open by Taiyang Mansion soldiers who came earlier, but there was no one inside.
Yan Sihai and others walked into the bun shop and searched for a long time, but found no one except the old couple from the bun shop.
"This place smells of manjusawa."
Yan Sihai had a very good nose, and he immediately smelled the smell of the eunuchs.
"Where are they?"
Hu Qi picked up the old couple and scolded them angrily.
The old couple had never seen such a ferocious scene before, and they kept glancing at the back door.
At the same time, Yan Sihai also heard violent footsteps at the back door.
"back door!"
They quickly rushed to the back door.
When they rushed to the back door, they saw the group of eunuchs tying up four people and leaving from the back door, including Chang Sheng.
Yan Sihai shouted sharply
"stop."
When Wang Huan saw Yan Sihai, he was slightly surprised and said
"Mr. Ghost Doctor, how did you find this place?"
This group of Jianghu people quickly surrounded Wang Huan and others in the backyard.
Yan Sihai smiled and suddenly shouted
"Manager Wang, let Sheng Wazi go."
When Chang Sheng saw Lao Yan, he complained
"Why did you come so late?"
Yan Sihai shouted that he was wronged and picked up the flowers in his hands.
"You have to ask it. After waiting for a few days, it didn't realize you were missing until now."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Huan suddenly realized and sighed.
"The Lord of Honghua City, Bingxue, is smart. It turned out that he pretended to be arrested in order to find the Second Saint."
Yan Sihai waved his hand and threw the flower to Chang Sheng. Seeing the flower, the eunuchs seemed to have seen a ghost and avoided Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng took the flowers and gave Yan Sihai a white look.
"What to do if it's broken?"
Then he looked at Wang Huan and said
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, but there is really nothing I can do about it, little sister. Although I found traces of the saint on the lakeside outside the palace that day, it was a pity that I arrived a step too late. The saint had already been transferred by you and his whereabouts were unknown, so I could only make this decision. Let you lead me to find the Second Saint."
At this time, Hu Qi also understood.
"Oh! So that day you deliberately threw flowers to the ghost doctors to save me, just to let them take you away."
Chang Sheng walked to the other three people who were tied up by the group of eunuchs. Among them, a middle-aged man and woman were silenced and looked at Chang Sheng anxiously.
Chang Sheng chuckled and saluted them.
"Second Saint, I'm sorry, Chang Sheng is late."
These two people were actually the human emperor and the emperor who were kidnapped from the palace. At this time, they were put on plain clothes. If you had never seen the two saints, you might not be able to recognize them.
When Chang Sheng came closer, the eunuchs avoided him as if they were avoiding ghosts. They grabbed the two saints and took two steps back.
"do not come!"
The eunuchs looked at Chang Sheng warily.
Chang Sheng stopped, stopped entangled, and continued:
"Xiao Zhong came to me that day and told me that on the second night after the Human Emperor was robbed, he heard a sound of water falling from the other side of the lake and discovered a green-eyed monster."
"At that time, I felt that something was strange, so I asked Xiao Zhong to take me to the place where the incident occurred. There, I was convinced that the person who kidnapped the saint was not an outsider, but an eunuch in the palace. This also reminded me , what Ji Shen and Lu Ying said about a group of men in black breaking into the palace that day was not the truth, because the group of men in black were originally from the palace."
"One thing I couldn't figure out at first is that even with the help of Mr. Wang, these men in black want to come and go freely in the heavily guarded palace. If they are not masters above the master level, it will be difficult for them to do so. A fantasy.”
"Now it seems that the whole process of the Human Emperor's kidnapping case should be like this. Mr. Wang, you have already poisoned the group of eunuchs under you. Just wait for the day of the incident to have two of your men bring the poison and go find them. Ji Shen and Lu Ying were on duty that night, and the two young eunuchs took advantage of Ji Shen and Lu Ying's unpreparedness and knocked them down. So far, what Ji Shen and Lu Ying said is still true."
"But after that, what they said were all hallucinations caused by the two young eunuchs who poisoned them. They did not think that a group of men in black broke into the palace, but in fact, at the same time, Wang You and your men, the steward, have kidnapped the saint.”
Speaking of this, Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai and said
"The next thing is Lao Yan's strength."
Yan Sihai took the conversation, stroked his beard, and pretended to be profound.
"The poison you used is called the extremely deadly poison. It is contrary to the nature of Shengwazi. After swallowing three souls and seven souls, this poison can actually recreate the soul. People who look exactly the same are actually different. When It’s really the only thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
He looked at the little eunuchs around him
"What surprises me even more is that these poisons can be passed on to others. However, you should have very few of these poisons."
Wang Huan lowered his head slightly
"We don't dare to deceive Mr. Ghost Doctor. This poison is indeed very rare, so we don't dare to use it casually."
Yan Sihai said again
"And the reason why you insist on dragging Ji Shen and Lu Ying into this situation, from what I can see, is that firstly, you have already taken a fancy to the hiding place of the Lu family, and secondly, you want to arrest you before the Forbidden Army launches a massive search. On this occasion, let those two take advantage of the emptiness in the palace to kill someone with a carbine, and then kidnap the emperor and the empress."
"Nothing can be hidden from you two."
Wang Huan is still so humble.
