This Marshal of the Palace

"You watch outside, I'll go in and take a look."

In the middle of the night, there were some rustling sounds in the silent woods. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear a muffled sound.

"Didn't you just come to see the location?" Then came a slightly angry voice.

"I'm lying to you, since I'm here, I must go and have a look." The voice was lowered a little proudly, "Don't worry, my qinggong is much better than yours, so be careful outside."

After giving the instructions, a black figure quickly flashed out of the woods, and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.

Climbing on the mountain wall, Yan Ci pressed the mask on his face and freed up a hand to touch the dagger tied to his leg before continuing to climb up.

This place is completely opposite to the direction of Shengjiao, and there are barren mountains everywhere. If Dianbo hadn't told her the route in detail before coming here, she would have difficulty finding the entrance hidden on the mountain wall.

After wasting some effort, Yan Ci chose some mountain walls that were not easy to reveal his figure and climbed up. Finally, he climbed to stand in front of that stone wall. As soon as he stood up, he saw a man in a black robe standing in front of him, his face was also covered with a mask. A man covered tightly by a black cloth.

The two looked at each other, and after three or two seconds, they came back to their senses at the same time, and then shot at the same time.

"Crack." The subtle sound of bone breaking was extremely clear in the dark night, Yan Ci let go of his hand and at the same time raised his toes to catch the person and gently put him on the ground.

Kneeling down and pulling off the man's mask, there was a very ordinary face underneath, so common that it was difficult to find it once you got into the crowd, but Yan Ci clearly remembered this face.

Squinting his eyes, Yan Ci took off the man's black robe and covered his body, then replaced the mask with a mask, and finally hid the body on the stone wall above with a little effort before returning here, pushing Open the covered almost invisible door and walk in.

Behind the door was a dark passage that was so long that it was almost invisible. Yan Ci pulled the black robe on his body and walked forward with his head lowered, still thinking about the numbers in his heart.

"99, one hundred." Recited the numbers in a low voice, Yan Ci suddenly stood still, and with a sharp push of his right hand on the wall on one side, a stone slab was pushed away, revealing a dark passage.

Turning around and walking into the passage, Yan Ci once again sighed in his heart about the troubles of these people. It took so much effort to dig a passage in the mountain wall just to trick people, and then open another passage halfway along the way to turn around to get there land.

Turning around in the dark passage, Yan Ci secretly remembered the direction in his heart but found that he couldn't remember it at all. The map drawn in his mind was as messy as a child's scribbled lines.

I don't know how long it took before Yanci saw the light faintly, walked quickly and smelled a rancid smell before seeing anything.

Suffocated by the smell, Yan Ci stood still, and it took Yan Ci a long time to barely hold back the feeling of wanting to vomit, forcefully suppressing the surging waves in his chest.

Walking in at a slow pace, the first thing you see are four or five tall and strong Gu people with blunt expressions and empty eyes, who look very awkward when they walk.

Generally speaking, Gu people don't have their own consciousness, and all they can do is obey the Gu master's order to kill people, but those Gu people all turned their heads to look at Yan Ci after Yan Ci came in, empty-handed. There seemed to be a strange light in his eyes, which made people shudder.

Yan Ci didn't move, his body stood straight, his eyes became extremely cold and indifferent, and he didn't show any weakness when he looked at the aura of the gu people.

But the Gu people didn't look at her for long, and walked to the side again after a while.

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Yan Ci pretended not to be in a hurry and walked towards the inside. On the way, he also met a few people wearing black robes and masks like her, but they didn't seem to see each other. Walking away indifferently also saved Yanci a lot of trouble.

Walking to a remote place, Yan Ci took out a small bamboo tube from his waist, opened the bamboo tube and released a hunting bee.

Yan Huiyue had a sachet sewn by Bai Qingran herself, and the sachet was filled with that special spice. Yan Ci tried to release the bees to find people on the first day in Xijiang, but in the end he could only I saw Xunfeng flying around the alley.

She had also been released after arriving at Shengjiao, but Xun Feng did not make any movement, obviously Yan Huiyue had never been to Shengjiao at all.

But here, just after she released the Xun Bee, the Xun Bee flew up and circled several times, and then flew straight towards the innermost part.

Xun Feng flew close to the top of the stone wall, and Yan Ci followed behind to observe the surroundings, and found that there were fewer and fewer Gu people around, but the rancid smell became stronger and stronger, and it also made people feel uncomfortable.

"Stop, the prison cell is heavy, no one is allowed to approach without an order from the law guard." Just as Yan Ci was about to step into a door, there was a voice that was neither yin nor yang, and sounded very awkward.

Turning his head to look, he saw a hunched, skinny little old man slowly walking out of the stone crevice on one side. He tapped a cane on the ground without making a sound, and looked at Yan Ci with extremely sinister eyes.

Yan Ci was not in a hurry, he took out a wooden sign from his arms and handed it to the old man without saying a word.

The old man took the wooden sign, looked at Yan Ci carefully, and threw the wooden sign back to her after a long while, then turned around and walked slowly into the stone crack: "The key to the cell is behind the door. If you don’t come out, don’t blame the old man for being cruel.”

Quickly walking into the cell, Yan Ci turned his head and saw a large bunch of keys hanging on the wall. He reached out and took it out, weighed it in his hand, and then followed Xun Feng to the deepest part.

There are torches on the wall of the cell, and Yan Ci can clearly see the people locked in the cells on both sides. Everyone is huddled in the corner with scars all over their bodies. Occasionally, when a few people look up, all they can see is the scarred Beyond the face are those lifeless eyes.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Yan Ci became more and more worried, and his pace became faster and faster.

Finally, Xun Feng stopped in front of the deepest cell, Yan Ci put away Xun Feng, and when he looked up, he saw the man in the cell whose limbs were chained, hanging in the air.

Frowning, she tried the keys one by one, and finally when she was about to run out of patience and wanted to shake the lock open, the door lock was finally opened.

The cell is dark, the person inside hangs his head, his long hair covers his whole face, but from the outline, it can still be seen that it is a woman. Yan Ci walked up quickly and brushed away the messy hair, and saw the familiar To a face that is no longer familiar.

"Master, master?" Calling in a low voice could not wake Yan Huiyue up, Yan Ci changed his mind and took out the porcelain bottle containing sage pills from his bosom and directly fed the three sage pills inside into Yan Huiyue's mouth, while slowly Slowly transfer her internal energy to Yan Huiyue to help her sort out her meridians.

"Cough cough." It took Yan Huiyue a long time to wake up slowly, Yan Ci withdrew her internal energy and gave Yan Huiyue a few pills and looked at her worriedly.

"Is Qingqing okay?" Yan Huiyue swallowed the pill and asked, but her voice was extremely weak. If it wasn't for Yan Ci who was nearby, she might not be able to hear anything.

"Master's wife is fine, now I have someone to protect me at the Princess Mansion." Yan Ci replied in a low voice.

Yan Huiyue let out a breath, seemingly relieved, then looked at Yan Ci and said, "You boy, it's been so long since you came here, what are you doing?" Although his voice was still weak, it could be heard that he had regained some vitality.

"Remove some obtrusive things." Yan Ci replied nonchalantly.

"Listen, go to the Holy Land to find the saint, she is a trustworthy person, she will help you whatever you do in Xijiang." Yan Huiyue ordered.

Yan Ci stuck out his tongue, and took out the iron plate: "The guardian decree, Aunt Saint told me."

"You are clever, you know you have to find someone, I thought you just ran in in a daze." Yan Huiyue smiled.

"Master, what exactly do they want to do?" Yan Ci asked, Dongxia, Nanhua, Xijiang, and Beiyan all had the influence of these evil Gu masters, but they couldn't ambush them, and couldn't see their purpose.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Huiyue let out a breath slowly, with a strange expression on his face: "Xiao Ci, would you believe me if I said he was doing it for your mother?"

Yan Ci: ...? ? ?

"The grievances and grievances of the previous generation were unclear for a while, and it was only during this period of time that I finally figured it out. I can only say that it was a crime, and all the burdens are on your shoulders." Yan Huiyue sighed.

"Master, there is not much time. I will rescue you first, and you will tell me after you get out." Yan Ci drew out the dagger tied to his leg and channeled his internal strength to chop off the iron chain.

"Farewell." Yan Huiyue called to stop Yan Ci, "There are many masters here, and there are many Gu people, you can't escape with me, I will wait for you to bring someone to kill me and save me."

Yan Ci also thought of those people outside, and that strange old man, put down the dagger in his hand, and looked at Yan Huiyue frowning.

Yan Huiyue has a lot of injuries and her body is also very weak. If she goes back to find someone and plans to kill them, it will take a few days. Can Yan Huiyue's current body last that long?

"Don't worry, I won't be in danger for the time being. As a teacher, I have to go back to raise a child with your teacher's wife." Yan Huiyue smiled easily, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Yan Ci took out several porcelain bottles from his bosom, poured out all the pills inside, stuffed them into Yan Huiyue's mouth, and whispered at the same time: "These are for restoring vitality, it's okay to eat more, you If something happens, how can I see my wife when I go back?"

Yan Huiyue stuffed more than a dozen pills in a row, and then Yan Ci gave up, and directly used internal force to shake several porcelain bottles into powder and sprinkle them on the ground.

"The emperor in Xijiang is not a good one either. You and Xiyuan are on good terms. This time, you just help her get into position and get rid of trivial matters in Xijiang." Seeing that Yan Ci was about to leave, Yan Huiyue instructed.

"Yeah." Yan Ci nodded to show that he knew, and he turned his head and walked out after thinking that it should be half an hour, and then saw the strange old man by the door, but he didn't care, and walked out with his head half down .

The old man leaned on the stone wall and looked at Yan Ci's back. The viciousness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and then turned into an incomprehensible feeling.

Following Lu Yanci who came in, she walked out and spent some time disposing of the man's body. Then she returned to the woods and saw Xi Yuan who had been hiding there.

"Go, go back."

The author has something to say:

I have basically finished all the exams, and I can probably go back to the daily update. I had a particularly scary dream last night. During the winter vacation, I found that all the subjects failed, and then I received a notice to start the make-up exams for each subject, and the school started. I failed all the make-up classes again, failed all the graduation exams again, and then I didn’t even get the QAQ for my graduation certificate. Then I woke up early this morning to read, and became the only one in our class who fell asleep in the exam room o(╥ ﹏╥)o agreed to hug Buddha's feet temporarily, but now I don't even hug Buddha's feet

Roll around every day, and then sit obediently and wait for the re-examination notice (with a smile on my face, mmp.jpg in my heart)
