Wang Qi finally saved his head.

Of course, in Yan Lian's opinion, it is just temporary.

After reporting what happened tonight, Yan Lian felt a little uneasy.

After all, his prince is not a good-tempered gentleman. On the contrary, the smart and conceited King Ning always has extreme contempt for the stupid people he despises.

And for subordinates like Wang Qi, it is impossible to have any good faces.

If you don’t make any mistakes and do anything stupid, it would be fine. If you do stupid things like Wang Qi who needs your boss to protect him, the best ending is to be kicked out of the Ning Palace.

However, thinking that Kang Jinlong, who did not show up tonight, felt that even if King Ning knew what happened today, he would not chop off Wang Qi's head.

Because judging from what happened tonight, this guy who claims to be the master of the Golden Dragon of the East Star is indeed a bit capable. For Ning Wang, who has lost the entire Tianyan Sect and is now in urgent need of understanding the people in the martial arts world, he will definitely be very interested in it.

However, this time he was implicated by Wang Qi, he was afraid that his impression in Ning Wang's heart would be cast a shadow.

When Yan Lan thought of this, he wanted to do it himself and cut off Wang Qi, the idiot!

Yan Jian, who was resentful in his heart, no longer paid attention to Wang Qi and turned his attention to the chopstick that was still hidden in his sleeve.

He had already had some doubts before, but now after learning from Wang Qi that Kang Jinlong had indeed come to this Yiliyuan, he was undoubtedly more confident:

This chopstick must have been shot into the room by Kang Jinlong.

Maybe there is news about Kang Jinlong on this chopstick about where to meet in the future.

He would never have thought that Kang Jinlong, as a stray dog ​​who wanted to defect to the Ning Prince's Mansion, dared to make a name for Qiao. So in his opinion, the reason why Kang Jinlong had already arrived at this Yili Courtyard tonight but did not meet Wang Qi must be because he discovered something was wrong with the other party.

And the most likely thing is that he, the "accidental visitor", scared Kang Jinlong. Then, the chopstick that had shot into the room before was probably a test of him.

Or, as he and Wang Qi said before, someone in this city was paying attention and monitoring the Ning Wang Mansion. Wang Qi's abnormal actions attracted the eyes of those people, and they were discovered by Kang Jinlong, who was hidden in the dark. Therefore, he did not dare to show up to meet Wang Qi. As for the chopstick, it was undoubtedly to avoid the eyes of those who were surveillance and notify him.

The answer to solving this question is undoubtedly the chopstick in his sleeve.

Thinking of Yan Jian here, his feet couldn't help but get a little faster, wanting to return to Prince Ning's Mansion as soon as possible.

Although he was as alert as he did not find anyone spying on him or monitoring him and Wang Qi, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid that if he was afraid, he would not dare to take the risk to gamble.

The two of them quickly got under their feet. After using the tokens of the Ning Palace to distribute several groups of soldiers patrolling the city, they finally returned to the palace.

After stepping into the palace, Yan Lian immediately took out the chopstick from his sleeve quickly. Wang Qi was a little surprised. The other guards on duty were staring at him with a shocked look, and pulled over a lantern and began to look at the chopsticks in his hand through the light.

Chopsticks look ordinary, especially for Wang Qi, who is happy to go to Yiliyuan in Beijing, he has seen such chopsticks a lot. After all, this kind of chopstick is almost used in the entire Yiliyuan.

The wooden chopsticks are smoothly polished and there is no pattern on them. After all, Yiliyuan is not as good as those luxurious brothels supported by rich and powerful people behind them. Naturally, it is impossible to be like those brothels. Even the chopsticks are made of precious materials such as jade and ivory, and then find skilled craftsmen to carve many different patterns on them.

But this looks like the shape is completely from the chopsticks in Yiliyuan, but it has patterns, or rather, engraved characters.

However, unlike Yan Lian's previous guess, the engravings on the chopsticks are not descriptions of where they meet later, but only the words "Xuanwu", "Ningwangfu", "Kang Jinlong" and "Jian" are engraved on the four sections of the chopsticks.

Although it seems that there is no connection between these words, for Yan Lian, who knows the details, he immediately combined them in his mind after seeing these four words.

The battle between Xuanwu and the Ning Palace caused Xuanwu to suffer heavy losses due to the previous actions of the Ning Palace. Therefore, Xuanwu asked Kang Jinlong, who had defected to him, to come to the Ning Palace for a visit.

As for whether Kang Jinlong is in the life or death this time, this is obviously a mystery before he saw Kang Jinlong and listened to his own explanation.

But no matter whether Kang Jinlong was in the life or death this time, Yan Lian knew in his heart that he had to hand over the chopstick to King Ning immediately and report the news.

As for what happened tonight, he originally wanted to "remove it a little", but now he didn't dare to do it anymore. It was of great importance, so he could only report it truthfully.

As for whether Wang Qi would make King Ning unhappy because of the stupid things he committed tonight?

Haha, I will die if I don’t die!

...

Wu Jian was still very happy to swear King Ning's appetite, so when he later increased his own weight after joining the Ning Palace, he was in the capital thousands of miles away. Ye Yi and five others who were sent by King Ning to assassinate Xuanwu were still "reserving their energy".

There is no way. They have only been a few days since they came to the capital for a few days. If there were no spies from the Ning Palace who sent them here to guide them, they would not say that they were assassinating Xuanwu, but they would probably be seen by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi, Liushemen Constable, or the numerous eyeliners who listened to them.

Although Ye Yi, the leader who knew this disadvantage, has sent several subordinates to quietly follow Li Donghua, the head of the capital's stronghold, in the past few days, the middle-aged scholar, while monitoring the other party, while trying to get familiar with the city, especially the surrounding situation, but with such a short time, it is obviously a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, they could not do anything except shrink into their strongholds.

Li Donghua, who had been ordered by Ye Yi without any emotion before, was completely overwhelmed at this time.

It's easier said than done.

Ye opened his mouth and asked him to find Xuanwu's trace within ten days. He even asked him to find Xuanwu's hiding place, the rules of his actions, and plan the place, time, and the route of retreat.

But this kind of thing is not that simple.

Even when he had never experienced the Jinyiwei before, Dongchang and Liushemen joined forces to stir up the storm in the city, it was not easy for him to find Xuanwu's traces and hide in just ten days, not to mention that now, this Xuanwu who is almost completely a turtle shrouded.

Moreover, speaking of this, because the Tianyan Sect was the most widely distributed and strongest under the Ning Prince's Mansion, with the Tianyan Sect providing information, the previous Ning Kings had no idea to set up another stronghold directly under the Ning Prince's Mansion. It was not until now that the Ning King succeeded to the throne that it began to be established.

Until now, it has only been three or four years. Compared with the Arctic Heaven where he has been rooted for decades, his background is far inferior.

Most intelligence networks are still in the most initial stage, with a lot of manpower and it is difficult to even guarantee money.

In such an unfavorable situation, it would be almost equivalent to letting him die if he wanted him to retract into the turtle shell in ten days and buried in the mud at the bottom of the pond in the capital.

But no matter how much resentment, aggrievance, or helpless she felt in her heart, Li Donghua still didn't dare to say a word, and still had to try his best to search for Xuanwu's traces.

After all, compared with Qinglong, Xuanwu and others who left the Tianyanmen General Hall and scattered around to build the altar of the earth, he is not alone. He has been married for many years. Although his parents have long passed away, his wife, two sons and one daughter are still living in Hongdu Mansion.

If he dared to have any unfair intentions, even if he could escape a life by chance, his wife and three children would definitely be dead.

On the contrary, even if he cannot complete the task ten days later, find Xuanwu's traces and help Ye Yi and five others complete the assassination mission, he may be very likely to die, but his family should be able to continue to live.

After all, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. If King Ning is angry just because he fails to complete the task, it will probably make others feel heartbroken.

...

"Ph pah pah pah pah."

Li Donghua shook his head suddenly, throwing out the pessimistic thoughts in his mind, which was completely like thinking about the funeral. At the same time, he quickly spitted a few spits to get rid of the bad luck, and forced himself to cheer up, trying to abandon the distractions in his heart, calm himself down, and think about what to do next so that he can complete the task as soon as possible and find Xuanwu's traces.

Judging from the search situation in the previous few days, it would be a dream to find Xuanwu's trace by relying solely on the limited power he had in his hands.

So, he must borrow power.

As for whom to borrow, the answer is also obvious:

Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Liushemen, Five City Military Office, Shuntian Prefecture...

In short, it is all government offices that have the power to search in this capital.

In fact, if it weren't for fear of worrying that it would attract Xuanwu's attention and make him more alert, the "power" that Li Donghua wanted to use most was actually the power of listening.

Although he had only been in the capital for three or four years and the time was still short, he had already understood something after the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen three major yamen joined forces to conduct a large-scale inspection in the city.

That is, Xuanwu has gradually wanted to abandon the North Pole Heaven, or rather, to gradually cut the North Pole Heaven from itself.

Otherwise, Xuanwu would not have been able to directly abandon all the incense halls at the bottom of the Arctic sky when encountering such situations that it would cause heavy damage to the North Pole Sky, and even be wiped out, ensuring the absolute safety of only a few dozen people in the middle and upper levels of the North Pole Sky.

Therefore, when we urgently need to find the trace of Xuanwu, the best direction is undoubtedly to start with Diting.

In his opinion, the numerous incense halls in the North Pole Heaven are now more like a cover to attract attention for Xuanwu. They are also a buoy. As long as there is any movement in these incense halls in the North Pole Heaven, Xuanwu will immediately become alert and hide it deeper.

And Di Ting, an organization with an increasingly important position in Xuanwu's heart, is undoubtedly much more secret.

Therefore, as time is getting less and less, but still gaining nothing, the first goal that came to Li Donghua's mind is actually Diting.

Although Di Ting is indeed much more secretive than the Arctic Heaven, in the eyes of Li Donghua, who has been rooted in the capital for three or four years, the secret is limited. As long as he spreads all his eyes and wants to find traces, he will definitely be able to find clues of Di Ting.

Afterwards, through secret arrest and interrogation, we try to find out the identity and traces of a person with a higher status in Diting. If we are lucky enough, we might only be able to catch a "Tongyou" in just two or three days. The Diting members who have reached the level of Tongyou will undoubtedly have a greater possibility of knowing the whereabouts of Xuanwu.

If Xuanwu is really too "gou", he can try to coerce and lure the captured Tongyou, so that he can serve the Ning Prince's Mansion and try to lead Xuanwu out.

However, there is still more than half the time now, and it is still far from the forced situation.

Moreover, this plan that seems to be very efficient has the probability of failure. After all, the disappearance of a Diting member may not make Xuanwu too alert, but if Diting members disappear one after another and their status is getting higher and higher, with Xuanwu's cautious personality, they may disappear immediately.

So, Li Donghua didn't want to use it before the last moment of last resort.

Compared with those who start listening, the risk is undoubtedly much smaller when trying to make a breakthrough from the government office.

After all, the government does not know his existence now, and even if it is noticed, it will subconsciously place the object of suspicion on Xuanwu.

Besides, compared to Di Ting, the staff is more complicated and they are all on the surface. It is easier and feasible to buy it with money.

Li Donghua's first choice is undoubtedly the three yamen, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen, who had previously searched the city for a large number of inspections.

I have to say that Li Donghua's choice of target was indeed very good, but what he didn't expect was that he felt that starting from the government would be much less risky, but he was really a big mistake.
