Chapter 340

The Seventh Prince who had just sent his mother and concubine back to the bedroom was rewarded by his subordinates, "Master, it's not good, there are many assassins in the house, I don't know what they are looking for, you should go back and have a look."

"What?" The Seventh Prince turned pale with shock.

How could someone trespass on his Seventh Prince's Mansion?

The figure of Shangguan Shaochen appeared in his mind instantly. Could it be that he made a comeback after failing once?

He didn't care about going to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, so he hurriedly turned around and went back to the mansion.

Inside the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the patrolling guards and men in black had already fought together, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. When the Seventh Prince came to the scene, he saw that many of his bodyguards had been injured.

"Take them all!"

After he gestured, the Imperial Forest Army dispatched from the palace immediately drew their swords and attacked.

"Come here!" After the seventh prince yelled angrily, a housekeeper came over tremblingly.

"Grandfather?"

"what is going on?"

"Master Hui, I don't know what happened, but when we found out, we saw these men in black sneaking into your study and planning to sneak into your bedroom. It's a pity that the guards in the house were no match for them. There have been many casualties." The steward said, still panting heavily, for fear that the fighting in the future would hurt him, and when he spoke, he always looked back anxiously.

"Bastard!" The Seventh Prince slammed his clenched fist on the stone table, and looking at the ten well-trained men in black with outstanding martial arts, they were not ordinary people.

Although the guards in his mansion were not extremely skilled, they were also not savages, and after some fighting, none of the ten men in black were injured or injured, and all the dead were his men!

"Get alive!" The Seventh Prince ordered, and flew to join the fighting camp. If he found out who was behind this pedestrian, he would definitely not let him go lightly.

"Did you find it?" One of the men in black asked the man in black who suddenly flew to him.

"No!"

The man in black froze, looked around again, threw a flare into the air, and shouted, "Get out!"

All the men in black stopped fighting instantly and flew away in the same direction.

The Seventh Prince frowned and ordered, "Everyone, follow me!"

In the night sky, the Imperial Forest Army led by the Seventh Prince chased the man in black one after another, but no one noticed a figure moving slowly in the most hidden corner of the Seventh Prince's mansion.

Su Ce made sure that there was no one around, so he immediately performed lightness kung fu and went straight to the study of the Seventh Prince Qin Xuanting.

He didn't believe that Qin Xuanting would not carry such an important thing with him. At this moment, all the guards inside and outside the Seventh Prince's Mansion went after the man in black he sent, and he easily entered the study.

He always believed that there must be a secret room in Qin Xuanting's study, but no matter how hard he searched, let alone what Shangguan Shaochen wanted, even the secret room could not be found.

"Did I really look in the wrong direction?" Standing in the huge study, Su Ce asked directly, realizing that he was too nervous, he immediately held his breath to clear his mind.

No, his time is running out, once Qin Xuanting realizes something is wrong and returns to the mansion, his life will be in danger, he must act quickly.

Since there is no study, let's go to his bedroom!

Su Ce made up his mind, immediately came out of the study, and cautiously headed towards the Seventh Prince's bedroom, nimbly avoiding the passing maidservants and the like.

Seeing that the dormitory was in front of him, he stepped up and was about to go in, but the footsteps of two people suddenly sounded in his ears.

He immediately flew onto the hanging beam in the corridor, with his feet on the left and right sides.

I saw two women approaching one after the other.

"Master, why aren't you at the house?" one of the women asked.

"Returning concubine, there was an assassin in the house just now, the master went to chase the assassin, I'm afraid he won't come back for a while, can you go to the hall and wait?" The maid replied respectfully and asked.

It turned out that the person with his back turned to him was the seventh prince's newly married side concubine, his rumored confidante, Miss Sheng'er.

Su Ce's heart rose to his throat in an instant, and he secretly prayed in his heart that she must never agree to stay, never agree.

"Okay, then I'll go to the hall and wait for a while." Sheng'er nodded with a smile, and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing that she had pushed open the door and entered the room, Su Ce cursed damn it in his heart.

Someone is in the bedroom, how can he get in?

Su Ce's whole body tensed up, and he immediately used his brain to think about other countermeasures.

Today he arranged for an assassin to come to the door, and the Seventh Prince was tricked out of the mansion, which is an excellent opportunity. If he is not found and asked for something first, I am afraid that such an opportunity will not be available again in a short time.

Su Ce immediately thought of the relationship between Sheng'er and Ling Muer, thinking in his mind, would Sheng'er help him?

Although he didn't know the seventh prince's side concubine, he somewhat knew her relationship with Ling Mu'er. He heard that they were very close?

He thought, maybe Sheng'er would help Ling Muer for his sake!

Of course, as long as Sheng'er is willing to help him, he will definitely not embarrass her, he will knock her out, and will not involve her in this incident.

On the beam, Su Ce made up his mind to jump down and stun the maid standing outside the door first, but when he was about to take action, Sheng'er suddenly came out from the hall.

"Side concubine, aren't you waiting for the master?" the maid asked.

"It's really hard for me to go after the assassin so late. Anyway, I'll just stay here. Why don't I go to the small kitchen and make him a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup. Maybe I'll be back when I'm done." Sheng'er said, and had already left the bedroom.

Su Ce on the beam was overjoyed. After the two left, he spun and landed and quickly dodged into the Seventh Prince's bedroom.

If he wanted to find the things that the Seventh Prince had hidden on purpose, he had to search for some places that ordinary people would not notice. After thinking about Qin Xuanting's temperament, Su Ce started from the surrounding areas.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his heart gradually became irritable, he still didn't find what he wanted!

"Damn! Where did he hide his things!"

"Could it be that I've been going in the wrong direction all along? Lao Qi just wants to break the rules. The more others think it's impossible, the more likely it is?"

Su Ce frowned tightly. Tonight, he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

But if there is neither a study room nor a sleeping hall, then maybe he really deliberately hid it in a place that ordinary people think is impossible!

After making up his mind, he jumped out of the window, jumped directly onto the roof, and looked down at the entire Seventh Prince's Mansion. He decided to search room by room, but he knew that he had to be fast!

"Catch them separately!"

The Seventh Prince, who was chasing from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, came to a fork in the road with his troops. He gestured to the guards behind him. He set off to the left, and some guards immediately chased him away from the right.

It was late at night, but he could clearly see that this road had already left the imperial city, but there was no trace of the man in black in front of him, but there would be rustling sounds from ahead from time to time.

Were these voices intended for him?

"No, this is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

The Seventh Prince was shocked when he realized this, and immediately turned his head, instantly remembering the smoke bomb that the man in black threw into the air when he was at the Seventh Prince's mansion, "There were only ten people in black, and they were all fighting in the front yard. If he wants to retreat, he can just shout, why does he need to throw smoke bombs?"

He carefully recalled every detail just now, and finally gritted his teeth, "That is not a smoke bomb at all, but a signal flare. It seems that someone deliberately dismissed the prince!"

Thinking of the ledger, the expression of the Seventh Prince changed immediately. Could it be Shangguan Shaochen?

He didn't get what he wanted during the day, so he went back and forth at night?

No matter who it is, he will not let him succeed!

"Everyone listens to the order and immediately returns to the mansion with the prince, immediately!"

The original half an hour's journey was abruptly shortened by half due to the speed of the Seventh Prince.

When the steward saw that the seventh prince brought everyone back, he looked behind him suspiciously, "Master, did you catch the thief?"

"Let me ask you, after the prince left, what happened in the house?" The seventh prince didn't doubt his words, but asked in a cold voice.

The butler was taken aback for a moment, fearing that he might not manage well, he hurriedly lowered his head, "Master Hui, no, no."

"Trash!" Unceremoniously kicking him on the stomach, kicking him to the ground, the Seventh Prince Lengsheng ordered, "Search for me, don't let any room, any corner be spared, be sure to get the thief out." Find it for me!"

"Yes!" The guards immediately dispersed around after responding.

The Seventh Prince led people to search room by room from the left.

Indoors, Su Ce, who had just left the third room, opened the door again in disappointment and went to the fourth door next door. With his superb hearing, he vaguely realized that something was wrong, so he immediately lay down on the ground and listened carefully, "That's right. , is the sound of footsteps. Could it be that Qin Xuanting is back?"

Realizing the answer, Su Ce screamed in his heart that something was wrong. Although he expected that Qin Xuanting would not be easily recruited, he did not expect him to come back so soon!

If he investigates carefully, he will surely discover his existence, but he hasn't got what he wants, so is it really going to be a failure this time?

no!

Su Ce made up his mind to get into the room behind him immediately, his speed was even faster.

This seemed to be a guest room. Su Ce was anxious, so he didn't search as carefully as before. After finding nothing special around him, he was about to leave, but before he left, his knee accidentally touched the post at the end of the bed. He only heard a soft 'click', and he couldn't help but stop.

Turning around and looking back, he carefully looked at the ordinary to ordinary bed in front of him. There was nothing strange to the naked eye, but where did the clicking sound come from?

The premonition told him that there must be clues here, and he immediately squatted down to search carefully. Just when he was about to give up, his right hand accidentally touched a very hidden position, and his intuition told him that something was wrong here!

He immediately stretched out his hand, only to see that he just pressed lightly, and a door suddenly opened on the inner side of the end of the bed.

"There really is a secret passage." Could it be that what he wants is inside?

Regardless of whether there was a mechanism inside or what dangers he would face, Su Ce jumped down without hesitation.
