Star Trace Gate

In the inn.

The waiter listened to Ren Ye's question and replied softly, "Yes, Imperial Concubine Jing's tribe had previously lived in Fengshan. After she passed away, His Majesty granted permission for her to be buried in the ancestral tomb."

"Oh, that's right." Ren nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any rumors about Concubine Jing here?"

The waiter immediately shook his head: "Hey, I don't know about this little guy."

This matter involved royal secrets, so the waiter naturally did not dare to gossip about it. He only replied vaguely, then nodded and said, "Sir, the wine and food are ready. I'll go and bring them."

"Okay, thank you." Ren nodded.

After the waiter left, he sat in the corner, feeling somewhat confused.

Monk Peng’s people came to Huang Jushi County, and Concubine Jing’s tomb is also here... Could this be a coincidence?

To be honest, he was actually somewhat interested in Concubine Jing. After all, this woman's past involved the Second Prince's serious illness and the Queen's death, and she also gave birth to the most favored princess of the dynasty.

This woman is quite mysterious...

Ren Ye drank his tea while thinking.

After a while, the food and wine were served and he began to eat voraciously.

……

Halfway through the unitary hour.

After Ren had his dinner, he slowly went upstairs, ready to go to his beloved concubine's room to fulfill his duties as a husband.

If she really doesn't want to, then I can just massage her little feet. The main thing is to show my love for her.

"Your Highness Prince Huai."

Just as he went upstairs, the commander of the Xiaowei Qianhu, Sangong, came towards him and said in a hurried tone: "The Second Prince is calling you to discuss an urgent matter."

"Oh... let's go then." Ren nodded.

The two walked through the corridor, turned two corners, and entered the fat dragon's room.

At this moment, in addition to him, the minor official who had reported in the afternoon was also there.

After Ren Ye entered, Sangong closed the door.

"Two things." Fat Dragon's face was solemn, and he went straight to the point: "First, the two subordinates of Monk Peng in this county suddenly met with six supernatural powers, and they have left the inn. Their purpose is unknown. Second, Yin Guang wrote to say that he has found the trace of Monk Peng in Anfeng Township, and the other party has a large number of people, and needs our help."

"They moved at the same time?" Ren Ye frowned and murmured.

"Yes, both teams took action at the same time." The fat dragon asked back, "What do you think?"

Ren also scratched his head and replied softly: "Monk Peng is certainly important, but the purpose of the two people here is unclear, maybe they have other missions, which is equally important. I personally think it is best to split up the troops. One group will reinforce Yin Guang, and the other group will track down the two people here."

The fat dragon nodded: "It's what I thought. How about this, Sangong takes people to stay and keep an eye on the two people here, and you and I rush to Anfeng Township at night to surround Monk Peng."

“That’s fine…!”

Ren Ye wanted to agree immediately, but he suddenly remembered the conversation with the waiter downstairs, so he changed the subject and said, "No, for the sake of safety, I will take the others to stay here to keep an eye on the two people, and you guys go to Anfeng Township. If these two people are going to meet with unknown people, then we have more combat power and can deal with it better."

Big Fat Dragon thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but you must be careful. This case involves a lot of people, and it may be related to the court of Southern Xinjiang. You can't trust all the local officials now. If you get into danger, you will be in a passive situation."

"Don't worry about this. In Qingliang Prefecture, I am known as the "Galaxy God Horse". I have never been defeated by anyone in terms of running away from danger." Ren Ye said proudly: "If it can be done, I will do it; if it cannot be done, I will spit in the mouths of those two people and run away."

Hearing this, the Fat Dragon nodded slightly. "Of course I believe you on this point. You stay with your men. If you can find out the details of those two men, you can catch them if you can. If not, leave someone to follow them. After I have dealt with Monk Peng, I will bring people back to deal with them."

"Okay." Ren nodded and asked, "Monk Peng has so many people. Do you want me to send two helpers to follow you?"

The fat dragon thought for a moment and said, "Let the strong man follow me. I like him very much."

"This person's body has become a saint, and he kills both men and women. He has the nickname of the Little War Wolf of the High-quality Secret Realm." Ren Ye immediately replied, "Is it not too much to collect 100,000 star sources from you in one day?"

"Deal." The fat dragon replied without caring at all.

"...Okay, I'll give you two stalks of coriander for free. Oh no, they're boys." Ren Ye replied very elegantly, as if he was selling vegetables.

"I'll leave a small official here to lead the way for you."

"it is good!"

After the two of them finished discussing, they took action separately.

……

Half an hour later.

Li Yan looked at Ren Ye irritably: "Can you tell me why I went with the Second Prince to capture the high-level supernatural power person?"

Ren Ye looked at him dimly: "With great power comes great responsibility."

"...It's fine if I let you get it for free, but now you're getting a bunch of crappy brothers to get it for free too?! Is this reasonable?" Li Yan asked back.

"Return to Qingliang Mansion and I will show you a treasure."

"You're just a second-level expert. How can you have a crappy treasure?" Li Yan didn't believe it at all.

"The bottle is called the Styx Bottle; the bamboo is called the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo." Ren Ye bared his teeth and said, "As soon as I was unearthed from the migration site, my master Lin Xiang wanted me to study it."

"Really?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows instantly.

“Hehe…!” Ren Ye looked as if he was too lazy to explain.

Li Yan still didn't believe it, so he turned around and looked at Xu Bangzi.

"This... he really did have it." Xu Bangzi rolled his eyes: "Because he not only unearthed bamboo and treasure bottles in the migration area, he also unearthed me as well."

Li Yan pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "We are brothers, I will help you run the trip. But you have to lend me the bottle and bamboo later...!"

"If the king is in a good mood, he can even reward you with two leaves." Ren nodded.

"It's impolite not to reciprocate. My Tang Feng can stay with you for one night." Li Yan replied.

"stable!"

After the two ruffians reached a consensus, Li Yan took Mo Youqian and another boy and followed the fat dragon.

The group rode on their horses and rushed to Anfeng Township at night.

On the way, Big Fat Dragon sent a message to Yin Guang, and told him that if necessary, he could go to the local government with the Tongyou Order to mobilize troops. But the premise was that the action must be sudden, the news must not be leaked in advance, and the highest local official must be with him at all times.

……

The other end.

Ren Ye, his beloved concubine, the Taoist priest Fenglin, Fatty Wu, Xu Bangzi, the feminine boy Ding Jun, another poker-faced boy Xing Jiu, and a minor official who was in charge of the secret communication, also secretly left the inn.

After the hour of Xu, the sky became dark and the night wind blew gently over the hills.

Led by the official in charge of guiding people, they arrived at a country road outside the county.

Fatty Wu squatted in the dense forest, rubbing his palms and said, "Brother Huai Wang... do you know what is the most wrong decision I made this year?"

"Ok?"

"The most wrong decision I made this year was getting involved with you." Fatty Wu said speechlessly, "I had a good sister-in-law and I didn't want to enjoy her, but I had to help you with the territory affairs... Not only did I almost lose my head, but I also lost so many star sources."

"All the investment now is for a better life tomorrow." Ren Ye replied sleekly, "Don't worry, elder brother. I have already reserved the position of Grand Marshal of the Empire for you."

Fatty Wu was surprised: "I really admire you... No matter what the situation is, you can still brag so calmly."

"Shh, shh, someone is coming." Xu Bangzi reminded.

Everyone locked their necks and fell silent immediately.

Not long after, a young man in a black robe and with ordinary looks came over and exchanged secret signals with the official with a whistle.

"Here?!" The young official waved at his companions.

The young man came over immediately, bowed politely and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Huai."

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Ren Ye waved his hand and asked, "Where are Monk Peng's two men now? Now that you're back, is anyone still watching you?"

"They have gone up the mountain and will not be coming down for a while, so there is no need to keep an eye on them." The young man whispered, "The subordinates of Monk Peng, one is called He Laosi and the other is called Ada, both are second-level supernatural powers. However, I don't know what rank the six supernatural powers they just encountered are."

Fenglin frowned and immediately asked, "Why are they going up the mountain in the middle of the night? What are they trying to do?"

"I don't know either." The young man shook his head speechlessly: "These two people were drinking in the inn and preparing to rest. But for some reason, they suddenly summoned six magical masters and went into the mountains together."

"Is that mountain?" Fenglin asked again.

The young man turned around, pointed to a high mountain covered with camellia and said, "That's it—Qifeng Mountain."

Ren was also stunned when he heard this: "Fengshan?!"

"Yes, it's Fengshan." The young man nodded slightly: "They have a clear purpose. They left the county and went there."

"What's wrong?" Fenglin saw that Ren Ye had an abnormal expression and immediately asked.

Ren also blinked: "Isn't this a coincidence?"

Honestly speaking, he insisted on staying because of selfish motives. He wanted to use the excuse of keeping an eye on Monk Peng's two men to find time to visit Concubine Jing's tomb in Fengshan.

But he couldn't tell Big Fat Dragon about this...

You can't just tell them, "I want to see your dead stepmother," right? That's very rude.

However, no one expected that Monk Peng's two subordinates would also take people to Fengshan.

"hehe."

Ren also smiled and immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go sneak into the mountain and see what they want to do."

"Let's go."

My beloved wife stood up.

……

Qifeng Mountain is located in the middle of the Jietian Peak.

Eight clever men were digging the earth and chiseling the walls desperately, and they dug out a deep tunnel on the east side of a large tomb.

Since they were all people with supernatural powers and had corresponding magical tools, their efficiency was extremely high and they dug to the main tomb chamber in a short while.

The leader, He Laosi, stood beside a stone coffin in the main tomb chamber, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "...Master Peng said that this Imperial Concubine Jing was an unfathomable person when she was alive. When the coffin is opened, everyone must be extremely careful."

"it is good!"

"let's start."

"...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight men stood a little further away, each using their magical powers, and hammered flat-headed iron rods into the cracks in the coffin.

After three breaths!

"Crack...!"

There was a crisp sound, and the coffin lid was pried up and flew to the ground.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that nothing unusual happened, He Laosi stepped forward and looked into the coffin.

When his eyes fell into the coffin, his pupils suddenly contracted and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This...what is going on...!"
