C517 A visit to the palace

On the other side, Gong Xiaoxuan followed the secret guard to a remote courtyard.

The guard reported, "Prince, we had previously watched Prince Jin Nie run into this courtyard, but when we came in to look, he had disappeared without a trace."

Gone …

Gong Xiaoxuan pondered on the meaning in his words, of course the person would not disappear or grow wings, which meant there was something wrong with the courtyard!

Gong Xiaoxuan's phoenix eyes revealed a frightful coldness as he coldly replied, "Search."

The dark guards received the order and immediately scattered in all directions to search carefully.

Gong Xiaoxuan sized up the courtyard. It was extremely remote and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The entire ground of the courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, giving off a decadent aura.

Eh? Dead leaves? Gong Xiaoxuan's mouth curved into a smile.

The color of the dead leaves was very complex, as if they had been blown around by the wind. However, the dead leaves next to them were very normal. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find them.

Gong Xiaoxuan's mouth formed a mocking smile, he waved his palm towards the dried up leaves, causing a large majority of the leaves to be swept away by the Qi Wind, the remaining leaves scattered about, the stone floor below was obvious.

Hearing the noise, the hidden guards all gathered over. Gong Xiaoxuan gave them a look, and the hidden guards immediately stepped forward. A light tap sounded and indeed, the sound of a clanging bell could be heard.

Lifting up the slate, the black hole sloped downwards like a monster's gaping maw.

A dark guard volunteered to go down and probe. Gong Xiaoxuan said coldly: "No need."

The soil of the secret passageway was yellow. It was obvious that it had been dug recently. The hole and the hole were not deep. There were still some undug soil inside, which meant that the secret passageway was definitely not long.

Gong Xiaoxuan sized up the courtyard. The residence was closest to the west side of the crown prince's residence, and was normally very remote, so he had chosen this position to hide himself well enough.

He thought of the building beside the crown prince's residence. It was located on the west side of the street. The west side was remote and did not have many merchants. Normally, there would be no one around. It was very quiet.

Gong Xiaoxuan immediately leaped, and flipped out of the courtyard. The guards behind him also followed as usual, while the guards who came to the crown prince's residence in an attempt to stop the Prince An were a step too late, they could only frown at the back.

The people on the west street were pitifully sparse, and only occasionally some merchants would pass by. Gong Xiaoxuan estimated the location of the secret passage and quickly locked onto an alley.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw the man in embroidered luxurious clothing getting ready to board the carriage. Gong Xiaoxuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "Where does Crown Prince Jin Nie want to go?"

The figure in front seemed to be shocked for a moment. He covered his body and went straight into the carriage. The coachman in front was about to leave on his horse.

A flash of cold light passed through Gong Xiaoxuan's eyes. You want to leave? How could it be that easy!

He took out his sword and hacked towards the reins that connected the horse and the carriage. The horse was shocked as it was no longer tied. It ran away and the carriage was left behind.

"Where is Crown Prince Jin Nie going in such a hurry? It's the crown prince's birthday today, why are we not going to the East Palace for a drink? " Gong Xiaoxuan walked to the side of the carriage unhurriedly and asked the carriage with a cold voice.

Now that the horse had run away, Prince Jin Nie could forget about running anymore.

Obviously, Crown Prince Jin Nie had also realized his own situation. He no longer holed himself up in the carriage like a turtle and slowly walked down.

Her eyes were full of malice, staring straight at Gong Xiaoxuan with a look of hatred.

"I wonder what business does Prince An have? He stopped Gu Gu's carriage halfway and scared away the horse. Is this how the Prince An treats its guests? "

Crown Prince Jin Nie was not stupid, he had taken the initiative to denounce others, and his methods were skillful.

Although he had just come out from the crown prince's mansion, if he did not admit it, Gong Xiaoxuan would definitely not force himself to take the blame.

When Gong Xiaoxuan heard Prince Jin Nie seriously change the topic, he laughed coldly, "Could it be that Prince Jin Nie needs this king to help you recall your memories? On the Crown Prince's birthday, when he snuck into the Crown Prince's Palace, he was indeed very capable. "

Prince Jin Nie laughed sinisterly, but did not seem to care at all, "Prince An's ability to speak easily is even better, I only stopped by the carriage for a moment, and Prince An decided to sneak into the crown prince's residence.

Then if Gu Li's horse carriage stop in front of the Imperial Palace, would Prince An still have to say that Gu Lu had infiltrated the Imperial Palace? "

Baili Jinxiu just happened to be there, just now the guards from the crown prince's residence had come to report to the crown prince about the matter at the secret location, upon hearing the news, the crown prince turned pale white and rushed over, Baili Jinxiu knew that it was definitely Jin Nie himself, and rushed over.

Now that he saw Prince Jin Nie's carriage with no horses, he felt even more amused. His own Master Gong was indeed so cool.

"Since Crown Prince Jin Nie said that he didn't sneak into the Crown Prince's Palace, then where did the dirt on his shoes come from? "As far as I know, that's not the case on the Beijing Road, right?"

Everyone turned to look at Prince Jin Nie's shoes, and sure enough, there was a lot of dirt stuck onto the bottom of his shoes, which made him look weird.

Prince Jin Nie panicked. He came out too fast and paid no heed to these things, and now he was caught red-handed.

But for an old cunning fox like Crown Prince Jin Nie, although he was panicking in his heart, his face did not show it at all. He sneered: "Could it be that I am going to sneak into the Crown Prince's Palace just because I have dirt on my feet? It's really laughable, truly a crime to be added, if there's nothing else, I won't talk nonsense with you guys. "

Baili Jinxiu laughed softly, he did not care about the sneer of Prince Jin Nie at all.

"Then where did Crown Prince Jin Nie come from and where is he heading to? Where did this loess come from? "Other than the outskirts of the capital, there's no other loess like this."

Baili Jinxiu's face carried the same smile as usual, but his eyes were filled with fierceness, like an ambush of a wild beast. The moment the prey appeared, he would pounce over and snap its neck!

Prince Jin Nie's expression did not change, "Gu Zheng had just returned from the outskirts and was about to return to the relay station."

"Hur hur." Baili Jinxiu laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. This made Prince Jin Nie more vigilant. Could it be that he said something wrong?

"I'm so sorry." Baili Jinxiu looked at Prince Jin Nie apologetically: "I was wrong just now, the soil in the suburbs was a fertile grayish-black, not this yellow."

When Crown Prince Jin Nie heard this, his face darkened, and inwardly, he was angry that he had actually fallen into Baili Jinxiu's trap.

Gong Xiaoxuan lovingly stroked Baili Jinxiu's head, and then coldly swept his eyes across the people present, and coldly laughed: "Is it a crime to be added, to enter the palace and be decided by the Emperor?"

After Crown Prince Jin Nie became flustered, he quickly calmed down, "Gu is your majesty's esteemed guest, Prince An, you are being so rude to him, have you thought about the consequences if you were to meet your majesty?"

Gong Xiaoxuan cast a sideways glance at him, "Since the crown prince wants to see the consequences of this king's actions, then I'll have to trouble you to follow this king into the palace."
