(Sorry for the delay as this chapter took a long time to edit) The carriage went straight to Dongshi.

Chen Ji opened the curtain and silently observed the deserted street. As the curtain swayed, the light and shadow in his eyes kept swaying.

The golden pig sat opposite him, holding a copper hand stove, and said warmly: "The princess is not a good liar. People with pure minds have not thought about human nature. Their lies cannot deceive others, they can only deceive themselves."

Chen Ji asked without turning his head: "What did Master Jinzhu want to say?" Jinzhu was silent for a moment: "The princess is very aware of her situation. She said those words because she didn't want to implicate you. You are a smart person, I can I can see it, and you can definitely see it too. I’m used to seeing intrigues in Wu Nian Mountain and the Secret Service, and I can’t help but sigh when I see this kind of scene occasionally. But I must remind you that the general trend cannot be violated.”

Chen Ji asked: "Master Golden Pig, what is the general trend?"

The golden pig replied: Your Majesty wants Prince Jing to die, the internal minister also wants Prince Jing to die, and the most powerful person in the Ning Dynasty wants him to die, so he will definitely die. This is the general trend."

"Um."

Chen Ji suddenly remembered that his master once said that the palace of Prince Jing was in catastrophe. This was God's will.

The golden pig said seriously: "Listen to my advice, turn around and forget about them, just pretend you have never seen them before."

He continued: "When I was first sent to Wu Nian Mountain, I had very good friends and a girl I liked. At that time, I thought I would never forget them in my life, but now that I think about it, they don't even look like me. I can’t even remember it.”

Chen Ji smiled: "Don't worry, sir, I understand." The Golden Pig looked at him doubtfully, and finally could only sigh: "As long as you understand.

Chen Ji looked out the window and changed the topic: "Sir, what are your plans after catching Concubine Yun?"

Jin Zhu thought for a while: "The next thing is Bai Long's matter, which has nothing to do with us. Bai Long should nail down the evidence of the Prince Jing's Mansion and Luo Tianzong's crimes as quickly as possible, and then..."

He looked at Chen Ji's expression and said, "Then the house will be searched and executed." Chen Ji stopped talking.

Jin Zhu sat opposite him and sighed: "I don't know why Concubine Yun was so alert and escaped before the Liu family started trouble. Someone must have tipped her off."

Chen Ji calmly lowered the car curtain: "Sir, we're here." After saying that, he opened the door curtain and bent down to get out of the car.

The two neighborhoods near Anle Street have been sealed off by Jiefang Guards. No entry or exit is allowed. The spies are searching door to door in the alleys. All the residents are taken out of the house and stand in a row in the alleys waiting for questioning. .

In every house, all places where people could hide were turned upside down, and even the floors had to be carefully knocked with the handle of a knife to see if there were any hollow places.

Chen Ji looked up and saw Yunyang dressed in black, standing on the roof of a restaurant with his arms folded, his eyes scanning the street like a hawk.

The White Rabbit was lying on the roof next to Yunyang with his legs crossed. He took a bamboo hat from an unknown guard and put it over his face, dangling his toes leisurely.

The golden pig pouted: "Pretending!"

He waved to Xifeng and others behind the carriage: "Go in and search, and we found a great thing." At this time, Chen Ji's mood slowly sank to the bottom.

He originally thought that Bai Long's claim of finding clues about Concubine Yun was just a pretense, either to fish out Han Tong, the leader of the Luotian Sect, or to fish out the spy in the Secret Service.

But only he knows best that this is indeed Concubine Yun's hiding place. According to the meticulousness of the Secret Service's search, it is only a matter of time before Concubine Yun is found.

But what Chen Ji found strange was that Grandma Xitang's betrayal was sudden, not a day earlier or a day later, but today.

He took a deep breath and walked deeper into the alley first: "Xifeng, you lead people to search the left side, and I will lead people to search the right side."

Xifeng subconsciously turned to look at Golden Pig. Both of them were pigeon-level spies. It was not Chen Ji's turn to command him.

But when the golden pig saw West Wind looking towards him, he nodded imperceptibly and signaled West Wind to do as he asked.

Chen Ji led more than 20 spies in the alley, searching house to house. He accidentally cast his eyes on a certain house deep in the alley, and frowned.

Where are the dark clouds?

It is said that Wu Yun should be responsible for taking care of Concubine Yun at this time. Why is there no sign of Wu Yun for so long?

Wait, since the dark clouds are not here, it means that Concubine Yun is not here either.

Chen Ji glanced at the other spies and walked straight to the house deep in the alley. He just pushed the door lightly with his palm, and the door opened with a creak.

There was no latch left inside.

He walked in and saw that the vegetable basket that Concubine Yun had brought yesterday was placed on the Eight Immortals table in the room, and in the vegetable basket, there was a page of paper placed sideways. The White Rabbit made a sound and covered his face with the bamboo hat again. Yun Yang He whispered, "I'll take a look."

After saying that, he jumped down and his body floated to the ground like a piece of paper in the air.

Yunyang quietly came to the door of that house and suddenly pushed the door open: "What are you doing?!"

In the house, Chen Ji was tapping the wall with his knuckles. When he saw Yunyang push the door open and come in, he said in surprise: "I am searching this house, why is Mr. Yunyang here?"

Yunyang walked around the traces suspiciously: "Why did you search for so long?"

Chen Ji said helplessly: "Master Yunyang, all my colleagues searched so carefully, what's the problem with me doing this?"

The next moment, Yunyang sneered: "Stand still, or I will take your life."

He groped up and down the traces of clothing to see if there was anything hidden in the traces, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Sir Yunyang, there was a misunderstanding between us before, but now that we are colleagues, let's put aside our suspicions for the time being and work hard for the internal minister."

Yunyang also laughed: "That's good. You continue to search, and I will go to other places to have a look."

He turned around and walked out, out the door.

The traces in the house and the clouds and sheep outside the house all smile...

The sky darkens very early in winter, and pedestrians lower their heads and look like they are returning home in a hurry.

Jinzhu cursed and led Chen Ji into a noodle stall. He sat down and Chen Ji quickly walked forward and unfolded the page. His pupils suddenly shrank. On the paper, it was clearly written on the paper when and where Prince Jing was and how to explain to Yun. The content of the Concubine's connection with the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty, all the main messengers were Prince Jing, and Concubine Yun was just following orders!

What's going on?

Did Concubine Qu leave this letter on purpose? If so, then could it be that Concubine Yun had given the order for Aunt Xitang to suddenly inform the Secret Service?

But why did Concubine Yun do this? If this letter falls into the hands of the Secret Service, Prince Jing will lose everything and there will be no room for recovery.

Chen Ji stood in the room, like a sculpture, letting the dust in the air slowly fall on his shoulders.

A moment of kindness can almost lead to a big mistake.

At this moment, Yunyang suddenly said from the high roof: "Hey, that boy Chen Ji suddenly entered a house alone for a long time. Is there any problem?"

Jiaotu covered his face under the bamboo hat and said slowly: "What problem can there be? Mengji has already tried him twice. If there is really a problem, can Mengji not say anything? Besides, the old boy Jinzhu is so cautious, how can he put Big Please stay with me."

Yunyang frowned: "I always feel something is wrong."

Jiaotu took off his bamboo hat and lay flat on his back and looked at him sideways: "If you ask me, let's admit our mistakes honestly. We can fight, and he can use his brain. If we can do things together, the Interior Minister can't do anything. Will you reward us with cultivation resources?"

Yunyang glanced at her: "We have already made enemies."

The White Rabbit smiled and said: "I just pricked him a few times. What kind of hatred is this? There are only eternal interests in this world, and there is no eternal hatred. At worst, I will sacrifice my appearance. How can a young and strong young man like him stand it?" Are you tempted by me?"

Yunyang said resolutely: "No!" The White Rabbit snorted and covered his face with the bamboo hat again. Yunyang whispered: "Let me take a look."

After saying that, he jumped down and his body floated to the ground like a piece of paper in the air.

Yunyang quietly came to the door of that house and suddenly pushed the door open: "What are you doing?!"

In the house, Chen Ji was tapping the wall with his knuckles. When he saw Yunyang push the door open and come in, he said in surprise: "I am searching this house, why is Mr. Yunyang here?"

Yunyang walked around the traces suspiciously: "Why did you search for so long?"

Chen Ji said helplessly: "Master Yunyang, all my colleagues searched so carefully, what's the problem with me doing this?"

The next moment, Yunyang sneered: "Stand still, or I will take your life."

He groped up and down the traces of clothing to see if there was anything hidden in the traces, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Sir Yunyang, there was a misunderstanding between us before, but now that we are colleagues, let's put aside our suspicions for the time being and work hard for the internal minister."

Yunyang also laughed: "That's good. You continue to search, and I will go to other places to have a look."

He turned around and walked out, out the door.

The traces in the house and the cloudy sheep outside the house all smile together...

The sky darkens very early in winter, and pedestrians lower their heads and look like they are returning home in a hurry.

Jin Zhu cursed and led Chen Ji into a noodle stall. He sat at the Eight Immortals table and rubbed his cold hands: "Is Bai Long reliable? It's so cold and so many people have been searching for it all day. There is no trace of Concubine Lian Yun." I haven't seen it yet, so it's obviously a false clue.

Chen Ji took out his chopsticks and went to the store to ask for hot water to rinse them: "Sir, please be patient. Finding Concubine Yun is a top priority now. Even false clues must be confirmed."

When the store brought the hot beef noodles, Jinzhu put the beef into a bowl and said, "Eat quickly. After eating, go home and rest. Bailong doesn't know what he's going to do tomorrow."

Chen Ji hummed.

At this time, the Golden Pig stopped eating noodles, looked up and glanced at him, and suddenly reminded: "Don't let your mind wander. Remember what I said. Forget everything you need to forget. This is fate."

"life?"

The Golden Pig smiled: "Everything is fate, and no one can control anything."

Chen Ji looked at the beef in the bowl in front of him: "Master Golden Pig, if you could live again, would you choose to be a good person or a bad person?"

The Golden Pig thought for a moment: "Evil man." Chen Ji was confused: "Why?"

The golden pig smiled and said: "The thing I want to do most cannot be done by good people, so just eat it quickly."

Chen Ji hummed, lowered his head and finished the beef noodles in a few mouthfuls: "Sir, I'm back, you should go back and rest early."

"Ah? Eating so fast!" Jin Zhu looked up in surprise, and saw that Chen Ji had already stood up and walked into the night alone.

Outside the door, when the cold wind blew, Chen Ji felt as if even the white breath he exhaled would immediately freeze into ice. His stomach felt a little stretched, and the page he had swallowed earlier could not be digested in his stomach. He tightened his collar and lowered his head. The cold wind moves into the distance.

I don't know how long it took, but he came to a dark alley and said softly: "Is the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan's Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord?"

The next moment, dark clouds meowed in the shadows of the alley, signaling for him to follow.

Chen Ji stood at the entrance of the alley, seemingly hesitant and entangled, but finally followed and stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door.
