There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

Le Zhi carried a basin of water that was too dark to reach the bottom, and stumbled all the way into Ye Zhaoling's room.

Ye Zhaoling sat cross-legged in front of the desk, with green smoke curling up all over his body, and basins of water, large and small, were placed beside him.I don't know what he is digging into, he didn't even notice Le Zhi entered the door.

The crown prince didn't come home last night, and the entire East Palace didn't dare to sleep all night, always paying attention to the movements in the Three Master Hall, for fear of any accidents.

Only Ye Zhaoling closed the door of his room, and slept like a normal person until the sun was three poles away, and started tinkering with these things as soon as he got up.

Many palace people complained about Ye Zhaoling's performance, but Lezhi never participated in these discussions.She closed the door behind her back, walked forward lightly, and put the water basin by Ye Zhaoling's hand.

This basin of water was taken from a thousand-year-old well in the Xihua Palace. Before entering the door, Le Zhi dissolved a piece of black gold ink that came out of Rong Zheng's study in the water according to Ye Zhaoling's instructions.

Ye Zhaoling ignored the basin of black water for the time being, but picked up a pen and wrote a long string of incomprehensible words on the yellow talisman.Le Zhili looked aside for a while, and finally couldn't help but wonder: "Master Hou, you have been playing with these things for several days, what are you doing?"

"Me." Ye Zhaoling stretched out his hand to twist the yellow talisman, blew on the wet cinnabar on the talisman paper, and said solemnly: "When will I be able to give birth to a big fat boy for your Highness, so as to strengthen myself in the East Palace?" status."

"You're entertaining people again." You don't need to think about it to know that Ye Zhaoling is talking nonsense again, and happily put away her curiosity, and asked Ye Zhaoling another thing: "His Highness knelt down in the Three Masters Hall last night." One night, I just came back this morning, have you visited him yet?"

Ye Zhaoling tossed the talisman paper lightly into the air, and the yellow talisman burst into flames.Immediately afterwards, he took all the ashes into the palm of his hand and sprinkled them evenly into the black water.

After finishing these things, he said to Le Zhidao: "There are many people who care about him, why should I join in the fun?"

Hearing this, Le Yi remembered the gossip in the palace, and couldn't help becoming excited again.She widened her eyes and said to Ye Zhaoling: "Of course it's different, you are a very important person to His Highness!"

"Hush—" Ye Zhaoling interrupted Le Zhi's child's words, staring at the basin of black water in front of him wholeheartedly, and stopped talking.

Le Zhi also restrained his emotions, and following Ye Zhaoling's gaze, he saw a black vortex suddenly appeared in the originally calm water basin!

"how so…"

Le Zhi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, the basin was just ordinary well water, and she pumped it herself.

The vortex in the basin turned faster and bigger, as if it wanted to suck everything in.Just when Lezhi felt that something was about to emerge in the water, a cloud of black smoke rose with a "puff", and quickly dissipated.

After the black smoke dissipated, there was only a basin of dark stagnant water left in the basin, as if everything just now was just her illusion.

"Master Hou..." Le Zhi swallowed involuntarily, she felt that she could not explain this phenomenon with her limited scientific knowledge.I heard that the Marquis of Jingnan made a lot of achievements in metaphysics and Taoism before entering the palace, so it seems to be true.

"Failed again." Ye Zhaoling noticed Le Zhi's surprise, he threw the pen in his hand into the brush washer, and said to Le Zhi, "Excuse me, bring me another basin of water."

Later, Ye Zhaoling explained to Lezhi that this is an ancient divination technique, and because of its extremely low success rate, it has long been lost among liars and magicians.

According to Lezhi's own observation, this kind of divination is really not very practical.She sent countless basins of water to Ye Zhaoling all afternoon, but she didn't come up with any results.

It wasn't until evening that Ye Zhaoling opened the door and came out.He stood by the door and waved to Le Zhi, and told her: "Help me contact Yan Tian and tell him that I have found Wei Ran's whereabouts."

"What?!" Hearing the news, Le Zhi's expression was even more shocking than seeing Fu Yiwen come back from the dead.

Ye Zhaoling smiled and said, "Go ahead, don't delay His Highness's affairs."

After Lezhi left in a panic, Ye Zhaoling turned back to the room and sat down in front of the case again.

I don't know what method he used, but the pitch-black well water on the table has returned to clarity.Looking carefully, you can see a row of small black characters floating under the crystal clear water.

These small characters floated up and down as if they were alive, spelling out a crooked sentence: Seventy miles west of the imperial city.

Seventy miles to the west of the imperial city is an unfinished building. The developer of this project has run away for ten years, and this land has been abandoned for nearly ten years.

Because the scale of this project is too large and the location is relatively remote, no one has taken it up to now, so it is sparsely populated and no one cares about it on weekdays.

In fact, this position is not calculated by Ye Zhaoling. Although he is a Marquis of Jingnan who does not love his father or mother, he is also the Lord of the Eastern Palace after all. It is not difficult to ask someone to find Wei Ran's personal belongings.

Ye Zhaoling locked Wei Ran's position by tracking the aura on this object.It's just that this breath is too weak, and Ye Zhaoling's spiritual power fluctuates from time to time, so the whole tracking process is extremely difficult, and the result was not obtained until today.

If the breath is still there, it means that Wei Ran is still alive.What is the specific situation, or get the scene to find out.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Yan Tian hurriedly broke into the laboratory, interrupting the conversation in the room.

Rong Zheng was discussing the rebuilding of the laboratory with the person in charge, and seeing Yan Tian's expression, he knew that he had something important to say.

So Rong Zheng paused the conversation, and brought Yan Tian into Fu Yiwen's office.

Yan Tian first looked at Rong Zheng when he entered the door. Rong Zheng's face was a bit haggard. He knelt down in the Three Masters Hall last night, and as soon as he came out this morning, he went straight to the R&D center. toss.

But now the situation is urgent, he has to report.

"Your Highness, Lord Hou just called and said that he has found out Wei Ran's whereabouts." Yan Tian said to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Yan Tian said, "It's in the Universal Financial International Center."

Huanyu Financial International Center is located in the new development area in the west of the city. Despite its famous name, it is actually a large-scale unfinished building.This place is remote, and vicious incidents occur frequently, like a huge abscess, it has coexisted with the city for ten years.

"How would he know?" Rong Zheng asked.

Yan Tian said with some embarrassment: "Master Hou said he was a fortune teller... calculated it..."

Yan Tian was worried that Rong Zheng would find it ridiculous, so he hurriedly said before the prince scolded him: "But Your Highness, I just received a report from an informant that they lost their target when they followed Princess Anyang to Wulingmen Street not long ago, and they haven't found her yet. trace."

Rong Zheng understood the meaning behind Yan Tian's words. The straight-line distance from Wulingmen Street to Huanyu International Finance was only 500 meters, and the information from the East Palace subtly overlapped with the information provided by Ye Zhaoling.

Rong Zheng didn't reply right away, he half leaned on the table, staring at the map on the wall in a daze.

Yan Tian was not sure what the prince was thinking for a while, so he asked again: "Your Highness... Is Lord Hou trustworthy?"

The intelligence of the Donggong informant confirmed the accuracy of Ye Zhaoling's news, but the biggest question right now is whether Ye Zhaoling himself is trustworthy.

There is evidence that Ye Zhaoling and Princess Anyang have had too much private contact. Could all this be a game set up by Ye Zhaoling and Rong Rong.

"Where are the others?" Rong Zheng turned his head to look at Yan Tian, ​​with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Yan Tiandao: "Master Hou said that he will go to find out first, and contact us anytime if there is any new news."

"It's just nonsense." Hearing this, Rong Zheng stood up immediately. At this moment, he had no time to inquire whether Ye Zhaoling could be trusted or not.

"Count the manpower and set off immediately." Rong Zheng came to the map and drew a circle at a coordinate on the map with a red marker: "All personnel will meet here in 15 minutes."

Yan Tian frowned and said, "Yes!"

Although Rong Zheng didn't say it clearly, Yan Tian knew who the "hand" the prince was talking about at this time was referring to.They were not attendants, nor Suzaku Riders, but a team formed by Rong Zheng privately.

This secret team is the private soldiers of the Eastern Palace. It is composed of veterans who have received strict training and are only loyal to the crown prince.They usually hang out in the secret service and attendant team, and only come forward to perform various special tasks when the prince needs it.

According to the information from the East Palace, Rong Zheng is not the only one in the royal family who formed his own team, many nobles of the royal family secretly have their own armed forces.

Rong Rong coveted the throne with all his heart, and the princess mansion raised a lot more private soldiers than the East Palace.

"Wait a minute." Before Yan Tian left, Rong Zheng stopped him: "The situation is special today, equip the necessary weapons."

Yan Tian was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately objected: "Your Highness, this is inappropriate. Instead of taking such a risk, it is better to let the police directly."

Even if it is a prince, it is illegal to own guns and ammunition, not to mention forming an armed team, which also involves black industries such as arms trafficking and smuggling.If they are caught with real evidence, they can be punished as treason.

But the situation was like this, Rong Zheng had to act according to the situation, otherwise he would be passive.Therefore, this team has been established for many years and has been low-key, never acting lightly, let alone armed.

Rong Zheng raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, feeling more tired all over his body: "The police are useless in this situation, so just follow my arrangement."

In principle, the royal family cannot mobilize police forces at will.Even if the formal reporting procedures are followed to find a missing person, it is impossible for the police to dispatch a large number of people, let alone carry weapons.It is impossible for Rong Rong's forces not to infiltrate the police, and doing so will easily scare the snake away.

Besides, Ye Zhaoling was also there, Rong Zheng didn't want to take any risks.Whether it's Ye Zhaoling or Wei Ran, he doesn't want any mistakes to happen.

Yan Tian has always been efficient and rigorous in his work, and he quickly assembled the team. Ten minutes later, a dozen or so ordinary-looking black off-road vehicles set off from all corners of the city and drove into the Huanyu International Financial Center in the dark.

The main body of this unfinished building has been built, and construction waste is piled up everywhere. Against the backdrop of the city's neon lights, it looks like a silent reinforced concrete cemetery.In the original design, there is a commercial center, two towers, and several residential quarters.Wanting to find Wei Ran in this large abandoned building complex is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

In order not to attract Rong Rong's attention, Rong Zheng and his team did not turn on the lights, and entered the target area quietly.Maybe it was because Rong Rong was careless for a while, he didn't expect Rong Zheng to find this place, so he didn't deploy a sentry outside the gate.Or maybe this is simply a trap set by her and Ye Zhaoling to lure the enemy deeper.

In short, Rong Zheng and the others went very smoothly along the way.

Rong Zheng got off the off-road vehicle, stepped on the rubble all over the ground to the front of the vehicle, and looked up at the pitch-black building in front of him.

The cross wind suddenly picked up, and the construction site was full of dust.

"Any news about him?" Rong Zheng asked.

Yan Tian glanced down at the phone screen, shook his head and said, "Not yet."

The prince personally led the team to this kind of place, and Yan Tian always felt that he was in a panic. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

He said to Rong Zheng again: "His Royal Highness, you go back to the car and wait for the news. Let us handle it here."

Rong Zheng waved his hands, looked at the highest point of the unfinished building, and said, "Let Team B dispatch to search, and the rest stay put and stand by."

As soon as Rong Zheng finished speaking, dozens of black figures dispersed in a well-trained manner.However, at this moment, there was a gunshot from high above!

Rong Zheng was startled, and turned around suddenly, only to hear Yan Tian exclaiming from the side: "I have received news from Lord Hou!"

The latest message from Ye Zhaoling appeared on the screen in Yan Tian's hand. Before he could open the message, the phone came into Rong Zheng's hands.

Ye Zhaoling's news only has one sentence, which reads: 29th floor of the East Tower.
