[Comprehensive] The Adventures of the Hidden Prince

"Say, when did you premeditate? Your father is so big that he didn't stop him at all? Did the Song court know you were here? Did you come alone or did you come with someone?"

Gu Ye put his hips on his hips and aggressively questioned his little partner who was squatting on the ground.

"Aye, how do you ask me to answer so many questions all at once?" The young boy squatting on the ground said with a playful smile, "I finally got rid of my father's guards, and I went from Bianjing to Beijing after going through a lot of hardships. Lin'an came to play with you."

The young boy blinked his peach blossom eyes innocently, trying to avoid the death ray from his little friend.

Gu Ye recalled the accident that happened in the capital some time ago, and frowned: "You come from the capital? King Jin sent your father to Song Dynasty at this time?"

"Aye—" Wanyan Kang's tone dragged on the old elder, "This is the first time we have met in a real sense. You are thinking about other things, it makes me sad."

The delicate little prince curled his lips, pointed to his tattered clothes, and motioned his little friend to look at his miserable situation.

"In order to come to see you, I have tortured my father for a long time."

The obediently squatting young boy tilted his head, and tugged on Gu Ye's clothes again, with an extremely aggrieved expression.

Gu Ye exposed him without hesitation: "You just don't want to go back and face your master, and you want to come out and play."

"That's right, I just want to come and play with you."

Seeing that the little friend was indeed dressed in gray and autumn, Gu Ye fell silent.

When did this young prince, born of gold and jade, wear this kind of clothes, presumably it was to avoid the guards.

"Aye?"

Gu Ye came back to his senses: "Okay, come as soon as you come, you go back with me first."

Wanyan Kang jumped up suddenly: "Good!"

——

Under the order of Zhuge Zhengwo, Tie Shou came to bring the latest progress of the case to Li Jiancheng.

In just half a month, three more victims appeared, and the death conditions were more miserable than the last. The atmosphere in the capital was dignified, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, Jin Guo sent envoys, the emperor didn't care about things, Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't leave at all, and Wuqing was young, so he could only let his old man and second apprentice Tie Shou follow up the case.

"Right now, we only know that the commonality of these cases is that the victims... were all drained of blood by unknown means, and bloody patterns were left on their bodies."

Tie Shou slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, and bunches of bright red flowers bloomed on the snow-white scroll, captivating the soul.

"Mr. Li, please take a look at the new case first."

Tie Shou unfolded the documents one by one, placed them in front of Li Jiancheng, then took a step back, and stood beside him quietly waiting.

The room was silent, only the sound of Li Jiancheng flipping the paper could be heard from time to time.

A maid in a jade-colored skirt came in with a teapot, refilled the teacup on Li Jiancheng's case, refilled a cup for Tie Shou, and left quietly.

There was no sound during the whole process.

It was as if the maid had never been there.

Tieshou lowered his head, hiding the shock in his eyes——

That maid has no heartbeat!

Tie Shou remembered what his mentor had told him when he set off, and everything he felt after walking into the building outside the building, and couldn't help but become more curious.

What is the identity of this Mr. Li Zhaoming?

Li Jiancheng sat in front of the case, looking at the documents in his hand one by one.

Li Jiancheng already knew the first two things, but the last three...

In the third case, the victim was a servant of the Hou Mansion in the capital who was good at gardening flowers and plants. The skin on his hands was peeled off one by one, and the limbs branded with bloody patterns were also chopped into sections of the same length, like Like planting flowers, they were planted in several flower pots.

In the fourth case, the victim was a lady from another noble family not far from Hou's Mansion, and the two families were still relatives.It is said that the noble girl died in a dishonorable manner, and the family hurriedly finished the funeral.They were classified into one category because the noble lady's personal maid secretly came to the six gates to report the case, and the noble lady's body was also covered with patterns.

The fifth case was even more strange. The victim was just a traveling merchant who would come to the capital regularly every year to sell goods.A character who is not very eye-catching, but the death is quite miserable.

His eyes almost protruded from his sockets, as if he saw something frightening, his body was covered with dense patterns, and he couldn't see a single bit of skin.

It doesn't look so miserable, at least there is a whole body left, right?

What Li Jiancheng cared about was the part of the last case that was covered up by the demon dog in the Shenhou Mansion.

Only this merchant, his soul was torn to pieces.

The dog demon hinted in the letter that if Li Zhaoming is convenient, can he go to the underworld to ask the souls of the previous victims and the news about the murderer.

Li Jiancheng sneered, wouldn't it be too useless to ask the dead about such matters.

Li Jiancheng put down the document, rubbed his forehead, and fixed his eyes on the picture scroll spread out by his iron hand.

Although the pattern is complicated, Li Jiancheng can vaguely tell what kind of flower it is.

Li Jiancheng remembered that he thought he had found the murderer a few days ago, but he chased all the way there but found nothing, but only picked up two little girls.

Originally, I thought that the little flower demon was the murderer, but the little flower demon in white clothes was very clean, no matter how I calculated it, I couldn't figure out that she was related to the murderer.

There is actually another reason why Li Jiancheng brought them back.

He couldn't see Xishan's true form.

This surprised him very much, you know, the monster that has appeared in this world so far, perhaps the highest level is the dog monster in Shenhou Mansion.

The mixed-blood demons I met before are not counted, they are not of the same race.

The story Xi Honglei told about her and Xi Shan that day was indeed true, and Li Jiancheng couldn't even tell if the little girl was lying.

The problem is that it is true.

Xi Shan has lived with Xi Honglei for so long, and her body is still clean and untouched by cause and effect.

This is impossible.

Whenever one enters the mundane world, it is impossible to sever the connection with the mundane world.With connection, there is cause and effect.

Xi Shan and Xi Honglei have such a good relationship, but why don't they even have a causal line related to Xi Honglei?

Only the sage is not involved in cause and effect.

The dude of a high-ranking official's family, a talented scholar with an excellent reputation, a servant of the Hou Mansion who is good at tending flowers and plants, a noble girl who loves Koudan, and the last one is a merchant whose ancestral home is Luoyang.

The information of the victims of these cases flashed through Li Jiancheng's mind, and he had a vague idea in his mind.

"Tie Butou, I need to trouble you to stay for another two days. I will bring a few people to Beijing with you."

Tie Shou woke up from his contemplation and said pleasantly, "Sir, do you already know what's going on?"

The young man in Xuanyi stood up and stretched, squinted at Tie Shou, but answered irrelevantly: "I heard that your emperor brought his confidante from the brothel into the palace?"

The iron hand was stuck, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly changed here, but he quickly reacted.

"It's really unusual for officials to act."

Tieshou didn't care that the other party's words seemed to be disrespectful to the emperor, what could they do with such an emperor.

In the past, the officials would at least take into account the wishes of the courtiers and the situation of the country, but now...

Alas, not to mention it.

"That Miss Kun is indeed the type of official who cares."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of Fang Zheng, the iron-handed young man, after euphemistically talking about the emperor's private affairs.

The emperor's private affairs, the Tian family has no personal affairs.

Today's official family really can't even help their mentors.

Although the mentor had nothing to do with officials before.

Li Jiancheng recalled one after another suffocating coquettish operations of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, thoughtfully.

Is the name a single word Kun?

Kun of Qiankun, or Kun of Kunlun?

The young man in Xuanyi squinted his peach blossom eyes slightly, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the scroll.

Eighty-nine is close to ten.

"Xiangyu," he called out to the maid who was guarding the door, "take the iron catcher down to rest." After a pause, he ordered: "Ask Zhao Fan to prepare, and come to Beijing with me in two days."

The jade-colored skirt trailed to the floor, and Xiangyu replied respectfully: "Your maid takes orders."

——

Wan Yankang followed Gu Ye back to the building outside the building. As soon as he entered the door, the little prince shouted to take a bath and eat snacks.

Gu Ye: ...

All right, this kid needs to take care of himself.

When the little prince brought himself back to his original beautiful appearance, he idly leaned next to Gu Ye, contentedly biting the small snack prepared by the maid.

"A Ye, you are too lucky."

Gu Ye glanced, "What?"

Wan Yankang leaned in front of Gu Ye, with a little bit of sugar residue on his lips, which was especially obvious when he looked closely.

But obviously, I didn't notice it at all.

"A Ye, where do you find your maidservants, one of them looks better than the other."

What Wanyankang was talking about was Zhao Fen who prepared water for him and Yao Huang who brought pastries. Seriously, he is the little prince of Jin Kingdom. He has been to King Jin Palace many times. What kind of beauties have not been seen? Pass?

But none of them was as good as the girl from the little friend's house I just saw.

Gu Ye gave him a cool look, and said, "It's not a maid, it's a maid."

"What's the difference?" Wanyan Kang crossed his legs and stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth. "Tell me where you bought your maids, and I'll take a few of these back."

"When the time comes, my maids will be prettier than Wanyan Liang's maids, and they will be pissed off."

Gu Ye took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Okay, when Master is free, I'll ask him to cut some out for you."

"Cut?"

Wan Yankang turned his head, his eyes were confused, "How many cuts?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Gu Ye's expression was subtle, "My maids are all paper figures cut by Master."

"puff--"

Wanyan Kang: "You didn't say that!"

"Oh, that's what I forgot."

Gu Ye saw that the time was almost up, casually put away the tea set, and replied casually.

"Aye—"

Wanyan Kang dragged his tone, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyes were mournful.The small figure holding her face is so cute that people can't help it at first sight.

Gu Ye was unmoved. He met Wan Yankang when he was four years old. Even if they met through a mirror before, it was only now that they met officially. Why didn't he know the details of this kid?

"Okay, now you have eaten and drank, come with me to see Master."

"okay!"

Wanyan Kang wiped away the grief on his face, wiped off the dim sum residue in his hands, got up and followed Gu Ye in a hurry.

"Aye, Aye, is your master really as powerful as he told you?"

"Aye, Aye, is your master also a Taoist priest? I heard that those who catch monsters are all Taoist priests."

"A Ye, my master is super fierce, is your master fierce?"

The young man in brocade clothes surrounded Gu Ye, chattering non-stop.

Gu Ye's lips slightly raised a curve, and it disappeared quickly.

"Fantastic, no, not fierce."

When going down the steps, Gu Ye pulled his little partner who was not in good shape to prevent him from jumping over his head and falling.

"Akang, you will know when you come with me to see the master."
