Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Not long after, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying, and Liu Ran came to a very heavily guarded cell, while Qin Xuan was questioning several frightened jailers and guards not far away.

"Master Marquis, I just asked... Last night, two jailers on duty suddenly disappeared. After entering the inner cell, they did not go out on time. The people in the outer cell reported it immediately. When others went in to check, they found that The two jailers disappeared completely, and Lin He was covered in blood and made no sound..."

"The people guarding Lin He this time are all selected by me personally... The minimum strength is at least the eighth level of Xuanshi or above. Moreover, only generals are not allowed to enter the inner prison, and they are not allowed to have any conversation with Lin He when entering the inner prison. , we can only confirm whether Lin He is alive two feet away from the cage..."

"It stands to reason that even if there is an emergency, someone who enters the inner cell can raise an alarm... But not only is there no alarm, there is no trace of a fight at the scene..."

Qin Xuan looked guilty. He knew that he had messed up such an important matter, and he was afraid that he would disappoint his Lord Marquis.

"Qin Xuan, go and investigate the people on duty last night to see if they heard or saw anything unusual!"

Liu Ran looked around and spoke to Qin Xuan. There was no blame in his voice.

"Yes!"

Qin Xuan nodded, turned around and strode out.

After Qin Falcon and the guards left, Liu Ran squatted down and placed his right palm gently on the ground. Then the mysterious light suddenly emerged, spread around, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's indeed strange... This cell is specially made, and there is a very secret mysterious array embedded in the surrounding wall..."

Liu Ran frowned and slowly said: "If a mysterious cultivator breaks in, even if he is extremely powerful and can kill Lin He instantly, there should be traces left behind. But I just checked it and found out No…………"

"Brother, what happened to Lin He's body?"

At this time, Liu Mengying's rather puzzled voice sounded.

Because she found Ye Fan squatting on the ground, checking Lin He's body for a while, and frowning tightly.

"Lin He seems to have suffocated inexplicably, and the wounds on his body are also very strange... There are cuts like knife wounds and sword wounds on his body. The cuts are thick and long on the inside and small on the outside... Many places don't look carefully. , just a small dot..."

"It's as if these wounds were cut from the inside out..."

Ye Fan frowned and replied.

"Brother, Lin He's death is similar to that of those in the Zeng family before!"

Liu Mengying understood immediately, "By the way, there are also those bones we saw in Weiming Lake..."

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded, his expression solemn.

...........

night

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came to Zizun Tower. Because Ye Fan was in a dull mood, he wanted to hear Putao play the pipa, but he was told that Putao had been invited to Zizun Tower to play for the princess named Yu Youwei. .

So, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came here.

…………

After showing the token given by Liu Ran, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying successfully entered the Zizun Building.

"Eh~Sister Ning?!"

As soon as the two of them entered Zizun Tower, Liu Mengying's unexpected voice rang out because Ning Zimo was actually there.

"What a coincidence~"

Ye Fan also stepped forward to say hello.

"What a coincidence... I was here last night and you didn't even see me~"

Ning Zimo looked at Ye Fan and Liu Mengying quite speechlessly.

"Uh... maybe?"

Ye Fan scratched his head. He and Liu Mengying just passed by Zizun Tower yesterday. There were many people at that time, so it was normal not to see Ning Zimo.

"By the way, Zi Mo, are you also interested in this kind of banquet?"

Ye Fan looked at Ning Zimo with some surprise, because he had heard Huo Xinmei say before that Ning Zimo liked quietness and did not like such noisy places. But after listening to Ning Zimo's words just now, the other party seemed to have been there for two consecutive nights. It's all here.

"no!"

Ning Zimo shook her head slightly, "I'm here to perform a security mission!"

After saying that, Ning Zimo also turned his attention to a woman in white palace clothes not far away, who was Yu Youwei.

"Is that so~! Will the Jiangzhou City Chief Constable personally come to protect that woman?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan understood a little bit.

"Only half..."

Ning Zimo answered, "I am here to protect the princess. It is also the order of Group Seven!"

"Sister Ning, you have resumed your duties...but you seem unhappy..."

At this time, Liu Mengying spoke, with obvious doubts in her voice.

"call!"

Ning Zimo took a deep breath. To be honest, after experiencing Lin Zihao's incident, she was not very happy about resuming her duties as "Group Seven", and she even had a trace of resistance from the bottom of her heart.

"Ye Fan..."

Ning Zimo looked confused. She looked at Ye Fan, then at Liu Mengying, and then whispered: "After I resumed my duties in the seventh group, in addition to protecting the princess, I also have a secret mission..."

"A secret mission?"

Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Liu Mengying, frowning slightly, "It doesn't have anything to do with me or Xiao Douya, right?"

"The order given to me by Group Seven is to secretly investigate Liu Ran!"

After saying that, before Ye Fan and Liu Mengying could respond, Ning Zimo turned around and left.

"Zheng!"

At this time, a crisp pipa sound sounded. Ye Fan and Liu Mengying immediately found a seat and sat down, listening to the beautiful vocal music played by Putao.

Amidst the melodious sounds of pipa, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying took out the mooncakes they had made before and ate them with relish.

Neither Ye Fan nor Liu Mengying noticed that Yu Youwei in the distant stands was looking at the two of them, or to be precise, the mooncakes in their hands...

"Zheng~zheng!"

"Wow~Keng! Huqing~!"

As everyone listened with bated breath, bursts of pipa sound were sometimes as clear and mellow as jade beads running on a disk, sometimes as quiet and melodious as the wind singing in an empty valley... Sometimes they were whispering, and sometimes they were as cold as ice springs...

Everyone present was mesmerized by the sound, until a pipa sound that was equally crisp but slightly different from the previous one, as if it were torn from silk, sounded, and the scene fell into silence.

None of the guests spoke, apparently intoxicated by the sound of the pipa played by Grape Oiran just now.

After a while, there was a burst of cheers and praise for grapes in the banquet hall...

"Ha!"

"Bang!~"

Suddenly, a bright light rose from outside and exploded in the air, forming colorful sparks.

"Big brother, it's a fireworks show!"

"Let's go and have a look~"

Ye Fan put down the half-eaten moon cake and strode to the terrace with Liu Mengying. Many guests also walked to the terrace.

"Bang bang!~"

"Chi! ~ Bang!"

"Crack!~"

Amidst the bursts of fireworks, Yu Youwei also stood up. She blended into the crowd. When she passed by where Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were, her long sleeves gently brushed against the fruit plate. There were two half-eaten mooncakes in the fruit plate. Then she took it away.

"this………."

Behind Yu Youwei, Ning Zimo, who was secretly guarding her from a secret angle, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene...

Yu Youwei did not watch the fireworks with all the guests, but after a while of twists and turns, she went to a rather remote place.

Seeing no one around, Yu Youwei took out two half-eaten mooncakes from her sleeves. She held the mooncakes under her nose and sniffed lightly, with a look of surprise on her face, "It can't be wrong... …….It’s…………..It’s mother……..It’s the taste of hometown……”

Immediately, Yu Youwei began to eat the mooncakes in small bites, and finally burst into tears...
