view of the case. "

The two chatted and arrived at the Hezhang Hall. After the guards in the hall delivered the report, the two went straight to the imperial study.

In the front hall of the study stood a eunuch who had passed his destiny, but his body was still in good health.That is Chang Guang, the general manager of the East Factory who has followed the emperor Zuo Qiujie for many years. It is said that he has practiced for a long time and his martial arts are unfathomable. Gu Xi also respects him very much.

"I have seen the fifth prince, I have seen Lord Hou, Your Majesty has just arrived in the imperial study."

The two agreed and walked in. The style of the royal study is generous and elegant, and there are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists on the wall. As they walked deeper and deeper, people unconsciously walked lightly, and then a faint scent of medicine wafted. Presumably the emperor I just finished my medicine.

After a turn around the gallery, he arrived at the inner hall, and saw a person standing with his hands behind his back, facing the two of them, with a luxurious dragon robe reaching the floor, a slender figure, and a head of black silk that was actually a natural curly curl, which was spread out at will. A few strands of the exquisite dragon crown are bundled up, adding a bit of charm.

The current emperor's name is Zuoqiu Jie, and he has reigned for twenty and one years.

"The child sees the father."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

The man didn't turn his head in a hurry, he just said: "Get up, there is no need to perform such a great gift, please sit down." His voice was lazy and nasal after feeling the wind and cold.

The two got up without saying much, Zuoqiu Yang sat down on the sandalwood chair that had been arranged earlier.But Gu Xi took advantage of the situation and made a slight bow, straight to the point: "I am stupid, I thought that your majesty's summoning of the ministers to the palace this time should be because of the case of the disappearance of the young man that was making a lot of noise."

Zuo Qiujie played with the calligraphy on the pavilion for a while, and finally turned around to look at the two of them.

Maybe it's because of the unhealed wind and cold, and his face is slightly sickly pale, but he can see a pair of phoenix eyes slightly upturned, the corners of his mouth seem to be smiling but not smiling, his expression is haughty, his face is pointed and thin, his nose is slender, and his whole outline has the shadow of a person from the Western Regions.At this moment, his eyebrows are changing, showing all kinds of charms. At first glance, people think that he is only in his twenties, but in fact he is almost old.

"Father," the Fifth Prince got up and said, with a slightly worried expression, "Is your body better after taking the medicine?"

Zuo Qiujie's expression slowed down, he smiled softly and said: "I'm much better." After finishing speaking, he turned to Gu Xi and said seriously: "Yiqing, I called you here today because I hope to find out the culprit behind this case. "

"What the emperor said is very true. According to my knowledge, the method of this case is secretive, and no one else was disturbed when the crime was committed. It can be said that no one is aware of it, and it is very human." Gu Xi replied with a frown.

"Master Hou, can you elaborate on the secret method?" Zuoqiu Yang asked curiously.

"The missing boy didn't leave any clues, and the time is so short that he usually disappears after turning around. Moreover, the missing boys are all handsome and handsome. From this, we can guess the intention of the culprit."

"Intent is not the point." Zuoqiu Jie flicked the black hair on his forehead, then looked at Zuoqiu Yang, "Does Yanger know what I mean by this?"

"My son is dull, I don't know if what I think is appropriate." The fifth prince said after a little thought.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I believe that this person has high martial arts skills, and from the perspective of behavior and regulations, he is not a single person but a group. This situation will pose a threat to the court in the future. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will be a serious disaster. Therefore, the father urgently called the Lord Hou to enter. Gong Ying hopes that Lord Hou will help him to eliminate future troubles."

The corners of Zuoqiujie's mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just looked at Gu Xi: "What do you think about Yiqing?"

"The fifth prince is worthy of his talent and intelligence, and he is talking about the key points."

"Master Hou, thank you." Zuoqiu Yang nodded.

"Hahaha, good!" Zuoqiu Jie Longyan was delighted, "The Yu Junhou stepped forward to listen to the order."

"The minister is here." Gu Xi knelt down with a smile on his face.

"I order you to arrest the culprit within three months, so as to stabilize the people and stabilize the government!"

"I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to say anything. If the real culprit is not caught within three months, it will be up to the emperor to deal with it!"

Zuo Qiujie laughed and stood up, walking towards Gu Xi: "What a gentleman, get up, I believe I saw the right person."

Gu Xi stood up slowly, looked intently at Zuoqiu Jie, still smiling coolly: "Your Majesty's business is the minister's business, and I hope your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body, and the wind and cold will be relieved as soon as possible."

"Yiqing," Zuoqiu Jie's voice slowed down, "I will handle the court affairs well, you only need to complete the case with all your strength and you will give me the best explanation."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Okay." After Zuoqiu Jie finished speaking, he turned to Zuoqiu Yang who had got up and said, "Yang'er, let's go to the Imperial Garden with my father, and by the way, I want to see how your homework is doing these days."

Zuoqiu Yang agreed and approached with concern: "Father is not recovering yet, do you need the help of my son?"

Zuo Qiujie pursed his lips slightly, and said comfortably, "Okay."

"Then I will take my leave first." Seeing this, Gu Xi wanted to leave.

"Slow down." Zuo Qiujie suddenly raised his hand.

"What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Zuoqiujie's eyes flashed sharply, he leaned forward and leaned closer to Gu Xi's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The thing about Qianchao..."

Gu Xi immediately understood and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will properly handle all the tasks assigned by Your Majesty, and will not lose sight of others."

"Go." After saying that, he waved his hand and retreated.

After Gu Xi left the imperial study room, he walked out of the palace gate not long after, and hurried away in Wuhen.He turned his head and glanced at the palace, as if recalling the past, thoughtful.

【Changling City】

Three months is not long or short, and the case is very secretive, so it must be done by a martial arts master. If this case is intended to provoke the court, then the threat is not small.But when he thought that all the handsome young men were captured, Gu Xi couldn't laugh or cry. Although he himself liked masculinity and everyone knew it, he would not raise a large number of beautiful men to have fun in the mansion.

He looked through the recent cases and the records of people entering and leaving the capital. It is not difficult to find that many unidentified people from the world have entered and left. The disappearance must have alarmed all martial arts sects.

In the past two years, he has traveled a lot in the rivers and lakes on behalf of the emperor, which can be regarded as traveling all over the world. He is also well-known in the martial arts and knows all kinds of sects like the back of his hand.Speaking of the most popular meeting place for martial arts people, it is the Tianxiang Tower in the west of the city. He calculated that these gangsters would gather in Tianxiang Tower in the next few days, so he decided to check it out.

Thinking of this, he returned to the mansion.

This mansion was rewarded by the emperor shortly after he became an official. The decoration is not so luxurious, but it is full of nobility and elegance in its simplicity. The materials are all high-quality, and the actual cost is quite a lot. The word "Gu Mansion" is impressively engraved on the door plaque .

Gu Xi doesn't like too many servants in the mansion, but once the choice is made, he must make his own decisions and beware of the eyeliner of outsiders, so everyone in the mansion is quick-witted, and they are all his confidants.

After eating a meal in the mansion, Gu Xi took a sip of Biluochun. Gu Xi walked slowly to the backyard, looked at the clear blue sky, turned his lips slightly, and mellowly sang, like a bird calling for a friend.

A moment later, an eagle flew out from the corner of the blue sky in the backyard of the mansion. Its black wings were proud and powerful, and the sound of flapping its wings was as steady as a rock.

Gu Xi lightly placed the eagle on his palm, smoothed the wings on the eagle's back, and the eagle narrowed its eyes in enjoyment.

The name of the eagle is called to come, it is a treasure given by Gu Xi's master when he came out of the mountain, it is quite spiritual, and it can understand people's words.The father of the eagle is called to go back, to contrast with him, and now he serves Master Gu Xi, following him and returning to hermitage.

Gu Xi fumbled for a letter from his sleeve, tied it up and tied it on the eagle's claws, and tied a bow in a playful way. At last, he patted the eagle's back complacently and said, "Come on, good boy, send me this letter from Lord Ben Hou." Send a letter to the Seventh Prince."

Lai Xi blinked his eyebrows, seemed to understand, then flapped his wings and flew away.

Gu Xi looked at Laixi Feiyuan, and murmured with a smile: "It's a pity... It seems that Benhou can't play with His Highness Seven these days..." Then he looked straight, snapped his fingers slowly and said: "Ten directions."

In a short while, a man in dark black clothes floated down from the roof, silently, knelt down in front of Gu Xi, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "What's your order, Lord Hou?"

This person's name is Huo Shifang, and he is a subordinate that Gu Xi begged from the head of the Wuhua Sect two years ago.

It is said that there are two sects in Jianghu with mysterious whereabouts, one is Shiyuelou, and the other is Wuhuamen.

It is said that the people in Wuhuamen not only have martial arts like ghosts, but also are heartless and heartless monsters, like empty trees without flowers. Because it often hides during the day and comes out at night, there are few people who can see its true face.Moreover, this Wuhua sect is also extremely mysterious in the martial arts, and rarely participates in martial arts disputes, and they all come and go without a trace, almost becoming a legendary sect.

Two years ago, he received a secret decree to go to the Western Regions. By chance, he got acquainted with the head of the Wuhua Sect and earned a favor. With his self-acquaintance and stalking skills, he mingled with the head of the Wuhua Sect for two months. It is commendable to finally find a subordinate.

Huo Shifang was in his early twenties, with a pale appearance, but his eyes were as motionless as a dead man's, his gloomy face was bloodless, and his untied black hair was short and shoulder-length, making him look extremely soft.The waist is decorated with a close-fitting long sword-don't look at this sword as mediocre, but in this person's hands it can set off a bloody storm.He has a thin body but his knuckles are particularly prominent, and he can tell at a glance that he has killed several people with his hands, and he has become a demon.

"In the past few days, I've been going to the Tianxiang Building to inquire about when the old gangsters will gather. If there is any situation, I will report it immediately."

"Subordinates obey orders." The cold voice was devoid of any emotion.

Seeing that the person was about to lift his feet and float away, Gu Xi suddenly became playful and hurriedly said: "Shifang!"

Immediately after hearing this, the other party knelt down straight again and said, "What else can Master Hou order?"

"It is said that the rules of your Wuhuamen are to wear all black?"

"The head of the door personally stipulated that no other colors of clothes are allowed."

Thinking that the sect master was also dressed in black, Gu Xi secretly thought to himself
