One hour later, after meditating and adjusting breathing, the people who had recovered their energy came to the hall together. While the servant was serving tea, they saw an arrow guard leading a man and a woman from the front yard, but it was Zhao Kuangyi and Miao Kexue.

It turned out that when Xiao Muyun and others left the princess's mansion, they wanted to accompany Miao Kexue to rescue Chang Qingqing, but they were with Zhao Kuangyi to lead the horse to follow him secretly. Qing'e couldn't stop it, and was afraid that the two of them would not be able to follow Xiao Muyun and his group, and they would make mistakes on the way, so they looked for Manager Pei to help.

Manager Pei had no choice but to send an arcade guard who knew where Jiangning Mansion Inn was located, rode his horse to catch up with Zhao and Miao, and lead the way for them to Jiangning Mansion.

When Yan Qiu and Gong Shaowen were very happy when they saw the arrival of the two, Changshan and Xiao Muyun, Lin Wanzhen smiled bitterly in her heart, but they knew that they were so concerned about Changqingqing's safety, and Changshan did not blame him.

At the time of Xu, Manager Zhu, who had been away from the other courtyard for three hours, came back. Xiao Muyun asked anxiously: "But the clue was found?"

Manager Zhu nodded and said, "Liu Zhe must have cinnabar for refining alchemy. Lao I started here and checked several pharmacies in the city. It was a clue I found at the pharmacies of "Renhuitang". In recent years, a servant named Zhang from the Prince's Mansion will go to this pharmacies to purchase cinnabar on the first day of the month..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they thought that the prince's mansion should be strictly guarded, but if Liu Gongwen hides in it, it would be difficult to deal with it. Xiao Muyun frowned, "Who is this Prince of Southern Tang? Where is his mansion?"

"After the Southern Tang Dynasty defeated the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Jing strongly resigned from the title of the Crown Prince. Li Jing made the original Yan King Li Hongyi the crown prince, and his mansion was not far from the east of Jiangning Prefecture."

Chang Shanyan said: "Where can the manager find out the layout of the Prince's Mansion?"

Before Manager Zhu could answer, Xiao Muyun said, "When I go and investigate it late tonight..."

Manager Zhu shook his head, "If Liu thief surrendered to the Prince of Southern Tang, he thought that this would not be the prince's mansion to refine elixirs."

"Why?" Xiao Muyun asked suspiciously.

"Before Tongbao Pavilion was disbanded, there was a eunuch in the palace who was familiar with Lao Ji. This man was very greedy for money. After learning the news from the shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop, Lao Ji found the eunuch and asked him about some benefits. He asked who was refining elixirs in the prince's mansion, but to learn something."

"Li Jing, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, believed in Buddhism and was very displeased with the art of alchemy. Three months ago, he learned that Li Hongyi was sent to refine elixirs in the mansion. He was furious and scolded Li Hongyi and ordered him to drive away the alchemy man..."

"Oh?! And then Li Hongyi followed Li Jing's will?"

"After Li Hongyi was punished, he sent away the alchemy person in the mansion. But the servant Zhang was still going to the medicine shop to buy cinnabar... I decided that he was slandering Li Jing for his sake, so he must have secretly placed a separate courtyard in another place and allowed the alchemy person to be in it."

"Tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month. I think that the servant Zhang will appear in the 'Renhuitang' and buy cinnabar. I will send someone to secretly follow him tomorrow, and I think he will find out where the other courtyard is located."

...

Before the next day, the people waiting for news in the hall saw an arrow guard moving forward quickly. Manager Zhu's eyes lit up, "Is it because I can find out where the person surnamed Zhang is?"

The arrow guard bowed and said, "The man with the surname Zhang brought six followers to the medicine shop to get the cinnabar, and took a carriage to a manor in Jubaoshan, Nanguo."

"In Jubao Mountain?" Manager Zhu was a little surprised and said, "But check the terrain around the manor?"

"When I was in charge of the affairs, the manor was built at the foot of the mountain to the north of Jubao Mountain. It was mostly surrounded by trees and the environment was very quiet. It was two miles away from the east and north families. The rest on the west side was Han Xizai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Manager Zhu nodded and signaled the arrow guard to retreat, saying, "Li Hongyi is brave and courageous, and has great prestige in the army. He competed with the crown prince for the position of crown prince that day, and he thought he had raised many military envoys around him."

"When Li Jing is afraid that he will be silly against the law, he will definitely make some masters guard the courtyard. If you want to know the layout of the courtyard, you must sneak in and investigate it secretly."

"And Liu Zhe has an extraordinary cultivation level, and once he gets close, he may find out. But I want to wait for Mr. Ji to come and ask him to inquire. What do Miss Xiao think about it?"

With clues now, Xiao Muyun wanted to go to Jubaoshan to find out the truth immediately. He shook his head when he heard this, "Even if Mr. Ji went to investigate, he could not fully understand the skills of the guards in it. Only by taking down the guards in it can we decide on the countermeasures."

"Then I will arrange for the arc guard to pay attention to the people entering and leaving the house, and wait for an opportunity to find someone who is alone to take it down and investigate."

Xiao Muyun nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How many arrow guards are there in Jiangning Mansion? How good are they?"

"The arc guards in Jiangning Mansion originally had a lot of good players, but unfortunately after the disbandment of Tongbao Pavilion, some went to the Great Zhou Divine Tiger Camp and some returned to Lingxiu Villa. There are only 36 people beside Lao Lao."

"Only Deacon Chen is the cultivation level of the true realm, while the rest of the people are only in the Guyuan realm and the Qi training realm. However, their archery skills are superb. If they act, they can play a big role."

Jiangning Prefecture gathered many merchants. After the disbandment of Tongbao Pavilion, it operated three inns inside and outside the city, with nearly forty people remaining in the Arc Guard.

At this time, a man in his forties, over 40 years old walked into the courtyard. Manager Zhu saw this and stood up to greet him, "Why did Brother He come here in person? But did he meet Mr. Ji?"

It turned out that this man was responsible for the management of Chizhou Inn.

Manager He glanced at everyone and asked Manager Zhu: "Is the young master in Jiangning Mansion? Who is Miss Xiao?"

Zhu Guanshi had no idea about Luo Xiaoyao being abducted by Zhiku. Until Luo Xiaoyao was taken out of the sea by Zhiku, Chu Nanfeng was afraid that Zhiku would use a plan to return to Middle-earth, so that Fang Yuan would notify the manager of the original Jiuda Branch Pavilion to know so that he could pay attention to Zhiku's whereabouts. He was low in power, but he did not know about Luo Xiaoyao's abducted.

Out of respect for Ji Jinghai, Manager Zhu attached another letter and specifically asked Manager He to send the letter in person. But he thought that he didn't know Xiao Muyun, so he said in the letter that Luo Xiaoyao was looking for Ji Jinghai, but Manager He thought that Luo Xiaoyao had come to Jiangning Mansion.

Manager Zhu is about to answer, but Xiao Muyun has already stood up and bowed to him, "The little woman Xiao Muyun has met Manager He. Senior brother is in Kaifeng and has not come to Jiangning Mansion."

Manager He looked disappointed and bowed his hand back, "Tell me to senior to be at ease, and said that he would let Mr. Shen Liancheng come soon."

"Oh?!" Manager Zhu was stunned and looked at each other with Xiao Muyun, who was surprised, and said, "What's going on? Isn't Mr. Ji in Jiuhua Mountain?"

"He found the 'Furong Villa' in Jiuhua Mountain. The person who received He was Xiang Xiaotian and Xiang, who said that Mr. Ji was in seclusion and broke the state."

Xiao Muyun did not expect Ji Jinghai would go into the Nascent Soul Realm in seclusion at this time. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly,

"Senior Xiang asked He about why Mr. Jian was searching for Mr. Jian. He didn't know the content of the letter, and was afraid that he would miss the big thing, so he sent the letter to Senior Xiang."

"After opening the reading to senior, I looked surprised and pondered for a long time, but I asked He about the location of the Jiangning Mansion Villa. He was shocked and suspicious at the time, but he did not dare to hide it. He told him the location of the other courtyard."

Xiao Muyun only said in the letter that he had met an enemy who had achieved great success in Baodan, and asked Ji Jinghai to come to Jiangning Mansion to help. However, for Luo Xiaoyao's suffering robbery for Zhi, and Chu Nanfeng and Mu Daocheng's actions, Xiang Xiaotian and Ji Jinghai were unaware of it.

But when Chu Nanfeng was trying to be a skill in the Nascent Soul, Mu Daocheng did not take action, but turned to Ji Jinghai for help. Anyone would be surprised. Xiao Muyun knew the reason for Xiang Xiaotian's surprise and smiled bitterly for a moment.

"After asking the senior about where the courtyard is located, he asked He to go back and send a message to Miss Xiao, saying that Mr. Shen would definitely come to Jiangning Mansion within five days."

"Manager Zhu said that it was the young master who was looking for Mr. Scheming, and Xiang Senior asked the letter to send a letter to Miss Xiao. He was surprised and came to Jiangning Mansion."

After hearing what happened to Manager He, Xiao Muyun looked at Manager Zhu and said suspiciously: "Isn't Shen Liancheng in Jiangning Mansion? He is a worshiper of the Southern Tang Army. How can he help?"

When she sent the message, she didn't know where Liu Gongwen was hiding. Now she thought that if Liu Gongwen defected to Li Hongyi, Shen Liancheng might not have offended Li Hongyi, who was the crown prince for himself after he knew about it.

Unexpectedly, Manager Zhu laughed at it, "If Shen Liancheng comes, it will be of great help..."

"Why is this?" Xiao Muyun was even more surprised.

Manager Zhu smiled and said, "Miss Xiao doesn't know anything. Shen Liancheng was originally following Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Guardian Martial Army. After Liu Yanzhen died in battle, he followed the crown prince Li Jingsui."

"Li Jingsui was poisoned last year, but it was Li Hongyi who caused the poisoning. However, after Li Jingsui died, Shen Liancheng and Gu Yanchun resigned their entrusted identities and returned to the village with their family."

"Ah?!" Xiao Muyun never expected this, "Manager Zhu said... Shen Liancheng actually had a grudge against Li Hongyi for killing the master?"

"I dare not assert whether Shen Liancheng has hatred for Li Hongyi to kill the Lord, but I think he will never help Li Hongyi. Although he quit his identity as a priest in the army, his connections in Jiangning Mansion remain. If he comes this time, it will be easy for him to inquire about the skills of the Jubaoshan Villa."

At this time, Manager He answered the words: "But I need help from someone? He rushed back to Chizhou to mobilize the Arrow Guards."

"There are only six or seven Arrow Guards in Chizhou, so it would be useless to transfer them, but Brother He wants to stay and help."

Manager He laughed, "Miss Xiao is the junior sister of the young master. He can serve Miss Xiao, but he can't get what he wants, but he can't get what he wants..."

This is because of his ability to manage things in a small way. Now he needs help from others. Xiao Muyun dared not be arrogant and did not refuse. He said he would be polite and thanked him.

...

On the fourth day of the fifth month, Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen were sitting by the round table in the wing room for breakfast, but when Chang Shan saw him breaking in with a look of horror, he handed a note in front of him, "There is a change in Qinglong Mountain, Master Mingwu is seriously injured..."

Xiao and Lin were shocked. Before Chang Shan finished speaking, Xiao Muyun stood up and took the note and saw: Master Mingwu was seriously injured, Mr. Mu disappeared, and Meng Xiaohu.

"How come this way, how come this way..." Xiao Muyun was like five thunders thunder. When the note in his hand fell, his body shook, his feet became weak, and he couldn't stand. Lin Wan was shocked and reached out to support Xiao Muyun who was about to fall, looking at Changshan, "How is this possible?"

Manager Zhu, who came afterwards, picked up the note and saw it, and was shocked.

The small bamboo tube containing the letters is engraved with the name Changshan engraved on the outside, which means to send it to Changshan for inspection. Manager Zhu naturally did not dare to open it at will. After seeing Changshan's face suddenly changed, he rushed to the backyard and followed him in shock and suspicion.

Like Changshan, he did not know about the Buddha's calamity, but only knew that wisdom was to destroy the fate of the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty, while Chu Nanfeng and others protected Qinglong Mountain to protect the dragon vein. But they knew that Mingwu was not, and Mu Daocheng was the top master of the world. Now one was seriously injured and the other disappeared. Manager Zhu was shocked and speechless for a moment.

During a silence, Xiao Muyun suddenly heard the words of "Manager Zhu, go and mobilize the troops and prepare to act tonight..."

Xiao Muyun knew that Mu Daocheng and Ming were not steady in their actions and would never act easily. However, with the joint efforts of the two of them, only one person in the world could compete with wisdom and suffering. He guessed in his heart that Chu Nanfeng had been tricked to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

As for Liu Gongwen, the enemy who killed his father, could not be let go, and Chang Qingqing could not help him. Xiao Muyun, who was anxious to rush back to Kaifeng, wanted to take action in advance.

Manager Zhu was still in shock. He heard Xiao Muyun's arrangements again, and was shocked again, "This is not to confirm whether Liu Zhe was in the courtyard, and he did not know the arrangements of the staff..."

In the past two or three days, Manager Zhu also arranged for Jianwei to secretly pay attention to the people entering and leaving the house, and to take the opportunity to get the left alone to inquire about the situation in the house. Unexpectedly, in a few days, only the man surnamed Zhang who bought cinnabar came in and out, and every time there were six servants around him, but he had no idea how to start.

"Li Jing does not like the art of alchemy. Only Li Hongyi dares to disobey the slander in the court. Liu Bishop must have surrendered to Li Hongyi. He must have been hiding in the courtyard of Jubaoshan."

Xiao Muyun said, "No matter what means Liu Zhe used to win the trust from Li Hongyi, in Li Hongyi's eyes, he was just a lackey. Li Hongyi would never be able to send his master to the village to the village to use it. But I think there are at least one or two people with divine thought skills in the courtyard..."

Although Manager Zhu knew what Xiao Muyun said was reasonable, he thought that Liu Gongwen was very skilled, but it was difficult to deal with it. Hearing this, he said, "Liu Zhe is a great success in his cultivation, and none of us are his opponents. Shen Liancheng came soon, Miss Xiao will endure it for a day or two..."

"The Liu Thief was able to improve his martial arts by supplementing the elixir. Although his aura was strong, his strength was difficult to continue. With the strength of my junior sister, I might not be able to fight with him. The two managers were in the realm of divine thoughts. Deacon Chen and Uncle Chang of the inn, and Junior Brother Yan and others were also in the realm of Guizhen. With the skills of the Arrow Guard, they should not be weaker than the guards of the manor."

Manager Zhu frowned, "Even if this is the case, we cannot easily succeed in a short period of time. Jubaoshan is very close to the South Gate, and the guards will definitely rush to hear the news..."

When Xiao Muyun opened his mouth and was about to answer, he suddenly sighed, turned to Lin Wanzhen, nodded to each other, but took the weapons and walked out of the wing together.

Manager Zhu was shocked, "Miss Xiao, where is Miss Lin going?"

Xiao Muyun paused, "Go to Jubaoshan to check the terrain, so that he can move forward and retreat tonight..."

Xiao Muyun was already determined to act at night, but when Manager Zhu tried to persuade him, he had the intention of exploring the terrain himself.

Manager Zhu sighed when he saw that she had made up his mind and said, "This matter is left to me, and the two girls can wait in the yard."

...

At the hour of You, Manager Zhu, who returned to the other courtyard, asked Jianwei to carry a square table in the middle of the hall, spread a drawing in his hand, swept his eyes over the people surrounding him, pointing to the drawings and saying, "There is a wooden house on the west side of the back garden of the manor. There are four marquises standing in front and back on both sides of the wooden house. According to Jianwei who had been lying on Jubao Mountain in the past two days, during the meal, a servant came in and out with a food box, but he did not see the person in the house coming out..."

Chang Shan thought, "Is it because Qingqing was imprisoned in this house?"

"This house should be an alchemy room. Yesterday, Jianwei saw Zhuang Ding coming into the house and carrying out a bamboo basket. He fell down at Jubao Mountain. Jianwei secretly stepped forward to check it out, which was the ashes of the calculating substances for alchemy."

Manager Zhu paused and looked at Xiao Muyun, "During these three days, the arrow guards who were secretly checking, they did not see Liu Thief who looked like Miss Xiao described. I guess he should be refining elixirs in this room. Miss Xiao and Miss Lin can sneak in from the west courtyard wall at that time, and four other arrow guards who are good at shooting should respond from the side..."

Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen looked at each other and nodded.

"The main house in the back garden has three wing rooms, and eight marquises guarding the front and back guards. When they eat every day, they are like wooden houses on the west side. Only the servants carry food boxes in and out of the middle wing room, and they have not seen the person living in the room come out. I believe that this house is where Princess Qingqing is imprisoned."
