Half an hour later, inside Tiandou City.
The city gates were opened and countless soldiers poured into the streets.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the whole city is under martial law and no one is allowed to go out on the streets!"
Around Yuexuan, the sound of neat and compact footsteps sounded, followed by a knock on the door.
"Who?!" The door to Yuexuan was opened, and the guard looked unhappy.
"Search!" There was only one word that answered him, and the Royal Knights lined up neatly behind him and filed in one after another.
"Anyone who resists the search will be killed without mercy!" After saying this, the guard immediately did not dare to move.
In the room above, another guard gently pressed the side of the bed.
In the backyard, Tang Yuehua was suddenly awakened by the bell beside the bed, and his expression changed instantly.
Without thinking too much, he casually grabbed a robe from the bed and put it on, then quickly ran out of the bedroom and into the corridor.
"Mistress." Knocked on the door of Tang San's room.
Tang San was instantly awakened, and he slid down to the ground and stepped forward to open the door.
"The situation is urgent, come with me." After Tang Yuehua said that, he turned and ran back to the bedroom.
Although he was confused in his heart, Tang San quickly followed.
Then Tang Yuehua quickly walked to the wardrobe beside the bed, reached out to open the wardrobe, and raised his foot to lightly kick the dark corner of the room.
With a creaking and crunching sound, the entire wardrobe began to move, revealing a one-meter-wide tunnel on the ground.
"Quick, go in." Tang Yuehua said quickly.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Xiaosan, you first leave the city through the secret passage, and then come back after a while after figuring out the situation. Now that you have not met my requirements, I cannot give you the map. Time is urgent. ,quick!"
"Auntie, can you tell me what the conditions are for going to that place?" Tang San took the opportunity to ask while quickly getting into the tunnel.
"Strong strength, mental power, and absolute reason." With that, Tang Yuehua quickly pulled the closet and sealed the tunnel.
Then he quickly ran out of the bedroom, ran into Tang San's bedroom, put all relevant items into the soul guide, and quickly tidied the bed.
The courtyard she lives in was designed and built by specially-designed personnel and has excellent sound insulation performance. There is also an early warning device outside. Only outside sounds can be heard from inside, and no internal sounds can be heard from the outside at all. Everything is just to prevent accidents. She came to Tiandou City alone to build and manage Yuexuan, to prepare funds and materials for the sect and to help the sect find out information. She was naturally well prepared.
Soon, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
Tang San, who had stayed in the tunnel and originally wanted to observe for a while, suddenly changed his expression, turned around and walked forward without hesitation, quickly cleaning up any traces along the way.
Knock, knock, knock on the door.
"You are so polite!"
Dugubo dropped Yang Yunhai from the sky, kicked open the door, and strode into the living room.
"Who!" Tang Yuehua, who had already run back to his bedroom and lay down, immediately reacted with alarm.
"You guys go search in other rooms." Dugu Bo said as he led Yang Yunhai towards the bedroom where Tang Yuehua was.
"Yes!" The Royal Knights filed in behind them and ran to other rooms.
Yang Yunhai's eyes were filled with golden light as he glanced around.
Although his eyes have the ability to see through, they cannot see through solid stone layers, especially those with metal plates. It was obvious that Tang Yuehua's house was carefully designed. If Tang San's presence was not sensed elsewhere, it could only be in this courtyard.
You can't see it from the outside, and you can't sense it either. You can only go in and check it out.
With a creak, Tang Yuehua, wearing only a robe, opened the door and saw the tall Dugu Bo, with the clothes on his right hand dyed red. On the other side, there was Yang Yunhai with a cold expression and his left sleeve stained with blood.
A sudden thought occurred in his heart, and he immediately bowed slightly and saluted, "I wonder why Dugu Mian came to visit me late at night?"
"You should ask your second brother Tang Hao about this." Dugu Bo's voice was cold. "Wearing a human skin mask, he sneaked into my college residence in broad daylight, hid in a vacant room, and sneaked out again in the early morning."
"What do you think he wants to do?"
Tang Yuehua's heart suddenly tightened, but there was a frown on his face, "Could your Majesty be joking?"
She didn't think Dugu Bo could keep her second brother.
"Are you kidding?" Dugu Bo sneered, and with a flick of his hand, Tang Hao's body immediately fell to the ground, "Look who this is!"
Tang Yuehua lowered his head subconsciously and his pupils shrank. Although his body was covered in blood and flesh, and there were holes in his skull, his facial features were indeed clear after being washed by the water.
There is no doubt that this is his second brother Tang Hao. His soul bones were dug out all over his body, and his chest was pierced by the hands of Dugu Bo and Yang Yunhai.
Unable to suppress his emotions, he screamed, "Second brother!" His body trembled and he collapsed, tears streaming down his face.
Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, Dugu Bo spread his hand and grabbed it. The body immediately rose up, then disappeared, and a sneer rang out.
"It seems I got the right person."
"Give it back to me, give me my second brother back!" Tang Yuehua collapsed emotionally and quickly raised his head.
"Come here, this woman is harboring an important criminal in the empire. Take her back for interrogation." Dugu Bo shouted immediately.
Tang Yuehua finally regained consciousness, and her expression turned to pleading, "Your Majesty Dugu, although Tang Hao has long since left the sect, he is still the second brother with the same blood as me. I don't know why he attacked you. This is indeed his fault.”
"Your Majesty, he is dead now after all."
"No matter how many mistakes he made in his life, he has passed away, and you have obtained the only valuable soul bone in his body. Please be generous and hand over his body to me, so that I can bring him back to life. Burial can also be considered as the fulfillment of this blood relationship."
The members of the Knights who had already approached looked at the beauty in front of them, with a trace of unbearability flashing in their eyes. Stand quietly, waiting for instructions.
Dugu Bo, who was quite quick-witted, glanced at him and said calmly: "If you want a corpse, go to Caishikou and get it yourself tomorrow."
She was so vicious that she wanted to ruin her second brother's reputation and the Haotian Sect's reputation even if she died, and also lured the mistress to show up. Tang Yuehua bit her teeth and there were blood, but she had to endure it. If this matter involves the sect, the consequences are not what she wants to see.
She had no doubt that as long as he got the handle, Dugu Bo would definitely attack the Haotian Sect. For example, go to the sect and poison the clan to force the clan members to leave the mountain. At that time, they will actively violate the original agreement with Wuhun Palace, and Wuhun Palace can take the opportunity to wipe out the Haotian Sect in one fell swoop.
Dugu Bo would definitely come up with this kind of plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"Your Majesty." He immediately suppressed the pain in his heart and spoke again.
"There is a secret passage." Yang Yunhai suddenly said as his eyes kept scanning the bedroom, and he strode in.
"You guys keep an eye on her." Dugu Bo followed quickly and walked in.
Mistress, you can't stay in the tunnel. Tang Yuehua turned around quickly.
How did Yang Yunhai discover it? Doubts arose in my heart.
Then he saw Yang Yunhai walking quickly to the closet and looking down, "Under this closet."
Although he couldn't see through the thick wall, he could still see some of the outline of the surface at such a close distance.
Dugu Bo raised his foot and stepped on it. The ground suddenly collapsed, and the wardrobe shattered inch by inch, revealing a dark hole under his hair.
Without any hesitation, Yang Yunhai and Dugu Bo jumped down one after another and ran towards the depths.
"It's a sewer." Not long after, looking at the dim passage in front of them, the two of them instantly understood that this was the sewer used by Yuexuan for drainage. It's just that it has been specially transformed. Compared with ordinary town sewers, it is significantly wider, and there is a stone paved passage next to it.
Without thinking much, the two continued to go deeper.
After a period of time, you pass through the fork in the road and arrive at the drainage outlet outside Tiandou City.
Looking around, the moonlight shines brightly, the surroundings are overgrown with weeds, and there is a fishy smell in the air.
"Whoosh." The two of them flew up a slope and scanned their surroundings.
The next second, Yang Yunhai closed his eyes and activated the perception ability of Bluesilver Grass, but found nothing.
"Nothing was found." He opened his eyes and sighed.
"The footprints in the passage have obviously been cleared away. Even your Blue Silver Grass sensing ability cannot detect it. It seems that you deliberately avoided the jungle bushes. This Tang San is quite cunning." Dugu Bo frowned, "With the evidence we have now , I’m afraid it’s not enough to offend Tang Yuehua.”
"I hope I can gain something in Caishikou tomorrow." Yang Yunhai said helplessly, "I just found the early warning device in Tang Yuehua's bedroom. I guess it was discovered when the Royal Knights entered the door."
"I knew I would have just broken into Tang Yuehua's courtyard." Dugu Bo looked sullen.
Yang Yunhai shook his head slightly, "Tang San has changed his appearance. It's hard to say that he won't be hiding in other places in Yuexuan, pretending to be guards, students, or even grooms. Our failure this time was mainly due to insufficient information collection and insufficient understanding of Yuexuan's internal situation. .”
He originally wanted to overlook the entire Yuexuan from the sky, and use his clairvoyance ability to see if he could find any suspicious traces, or find anyone suspicious during the Royal Knights' search of Yuexuan. I didn't expect that the opportunity would be missed because of this. I have thought about a secret passage, but Yuexuan occupies a large area. As a place for nobles to learn etiquette, it is built like a back garden, with small bridges, flowing water, and many fake stones. It's really impossible to determine where the secret passage is specifically located, and I don't know what identity Tang San has living in it.
Tang Yuehua was waiting beside him blankly, which he didn't expect.
This time, it was true that his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and he was tricked by this straight ball.
"Hey, let's go back first." Dugu Bo was also helpless.
"Yes." Yang Yunhai nodded, and the two returned to the secret passage and returned the same way.
On the other side, Tang San stopped at the lower reaches of the waterway, feeling angry in his heart for escaping in embarrassment, but at the same time secretly glad.
Originally, to avoid suspicion, he was supposed to live with other guards.
It's just that when he first joined Yuexuan, his aunt wanted to explain to him the internal situation of Yuexuan, explain some things to him, and teach him some basic etiquette to prevent him from exposing himself due to details in Yuexuan's daily life in the future. This allowed him, a new member of the night shift, to stay overnight in the small courtyard where his aunt lived and receive instruction.
Of course, he also understood that there was another reason, that is, his aunt wanted to talk more about his past experiences with this nephew who suddenly appeared. During this time, Aunt Yuehua asked him a lot about his father's experiences over the years and some things about his time in the academy.
He could tell that his aunt had been quite lonely managing Yuexuan all these years without anyone around her. Therefore, we take special care of him as a relative.
He also didn't expect that he would stay overnight in the small courtyard where his aunt lived for various reasons, and he was able to escape by some combination of circumstances.
Perhaps, this is because God cannot stand what Yang Yunhai has done to me, and wants me to kill him one day! And I will definitely do it!
Yang Yunhai, Dugu Bo, just wait!
"Find a place to rest for a while, and then return to Tiandou City to investigate tomorrow." With this thought in mind, he turned around and left.
