Xiahou Lingyu stood behind Dong Liu and looked to the opposite side. He saw a dozen guards approaching. Among them was a thin old man in gray robes, with bare eyes and hands like eagle talons. It was this old man who spoke.

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Xiahou Lingyu stopped covering up, walked out openly, and asked loudly: "Old man, who are you?"

The old man in gray robe smiled slightly and said proudly: "Little girl, I am Li Chengdong, deputy commander of the guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion. Who are you? You are so brave, you dare to break into Prince Zhou's Mansion at night!"

When Xiahou Lingyu heard the name Li Chengdong, he had never heard of it, and he didn't think he was an expert, so he smiled and said: "My name is Xiahou Lingyu, and I am a disciple of Zhenren Wuxuan in Tongtian Mountain. I came to your palace to find a man named Liao Zhicheng."

The steward, his relative Hong Wuji stole the Resurrection Grass that I wanted to give to King Wei Tang Jiu Sheng, and sneaked into your palace to hide it, so I sneaked into the palace to track him and take back the Resurrection Grass!"

Li Chengdong's eyes lit up, he stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. He and the second manager of the palace, Liao Zhicheng, had always been at odds with each other. Liao Zhicheng relied on his future as a fourth-grade man and could go further in the future, so he was arrogant and treated Li Chengdong

He didn't take it lightly either. Since he, Liao Zhicheng, dared to take in the thief, why not take this opportunity to deal with him?

Xiahou Lingyu's master, Master Wuxuan, is very famous, especially his apprentice Luo Fengyang, who is ranked second in the world and is famous all over the world. He, Li Chengdong, neither wants to offend Master Wuxuan nor Luo Fengyang. But after all, Xiahou Lingyuye

It was a breach of etiquette to break into the palace, so it would be better to just let her go. Do you want to fight her here? If the news spreads, where does Li Chengdong's face belong to him?

Li Chengdong hesitated for a moment, then he got the idea and said with a smile: "Little girl, I don't know whether what you said is true or false! Since you said that the man named Hong stole your treasure and sneaked into the palace, then Manager Liao may not be the same.

You know this, and besides, it’s hard to say whether the man named Hong is in the palace or not! What if he is not in the palace?”

Xiahou Lingyu sneered: "Old man Li, so you want to protect the thief named Hong? Your majestic Zhou Prince's Mansion actually hid the thief at home. It's really embarrassing if word spreads!"

Li Chengdong laughed loudly, "Okay, little girl, I will take you to see Manager Liao. If you can catch the man named Hong and both the person and the owner get the stolen goods, I will naturally return your things to you. As long as you report to my prince,

Apologize and admit your mistake. Your Majesty is also a tolerant person. I thought you sneaked into the palace to catch the thief, so I don't necessarily care about you. But if the thief named Hong is not here, then I will feel sorry for you!

"

Xiahou Lingyu secretly thought that it was unreasonable for her to explore Prince Zhou's Mansion at night. There were many people on the other side, and now that she was discovered, it was hard to take action. Since this old guy had a way out, it was better to use his plan. Besides, according to Chen Chungling's plan

According to the theory, the man named Hong was probably hiding in the palace, so Xiahou Lingyu was not afraid in her heart and nodded: "Okay, Old Man Li, let's do it your way!"

Li Chengdong waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go, let's take this Miss Xiahou to see Manager Liao!" Li Chengdong turned back to a big guard carrying a knife and said, "Cheng Chong, go to the concierge and check if there is anything today.

A man named Hong Wuji entered the palace?" The guard named Cheng Chong agreed and ran straight to the concierge.

Xiahou Lingyu followed Li Chengdong and others to see Manager Liao. When Dong Liu saw that no one was paying attention to him, he ran away quickly. Otherwise, how would he explain to the guards in the mansion?

Woolen cloth?

Li Chengdong led Xiahou Lingyu and others forward. They didn't have much time and came to the five reverse-seat rooms in the middle of the south of the palace. Manager Liao usually worked here. Today happened to be Manager Liao's night shift. There was a guard standing guard at the door.

When the guards saw Deputy Commander Li Chengdong and more than a dozen guards coming to the door of the reverse chamber in a menacing manner, there must be nothing good going on.

The guard standing guard quickly saluted Deputy Commander Li and said loudly: "Hey, Deputy Commander Li, it's almost dawn, are you still not sleeping?"

Li Chengdong smiled coldly and said angrily: "Oh, how can I sleep here? There are thieves in our palace, do we still dare to sleep? When the prince wakes up later, will we all be beheaded?

?" As soon as Li Chengdong finished speaking, he heard someone coming out of the sitting room.

I saw this person walking out, with a Chinese character face, two thick eyebrows, wearing a brocade robe, walked out proudly, came to the steps, glanced down at Li Chengdong and others, and said with disdain: "Li Chengdong, you bring a group of people

What does it mean when people come here? What does it mean that there are thieves in the palace! Who is the thief?" This person is Liao Zhicheng, the second steward of the Zhou Palace.

Just as Li Chengdong was about to answer, he saw guard Cheng Chong running over in a hurry, lying down and whispering a few words in Li Chengdong's ear, and then retreated behind Li Chengdong. After hearing this, Li Chengdong smiled coldly, "Okay! We are really here!"

Xiahou Lingyu heard clearly from the sidelines. Sure enough, the man named Hong Wuji sneaked into Prince Zhou's Mansion in the middle of the night carrying a flower bag. The person who came out to receive him was none other than the second steward, Liao Zhicheng.

Li Chengdong smiled coldly, "Steward Liao, did a relative of yours named Hong Wuji enter our palace at midnight today? Carrying a cloth bundle with blue flowers on his back?"

Liao Zhicheng was startled, then suddenly realized, and sneered: "Yes, a distant relative of mine, Hong Wuji, came to the palace to visit me. He got a new treasure called the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass. He wanted to use this Nine-turn Resurrection Grass.

I will give the Soul-Returning Grass to our Prince because it is getting late, so I will keep him here and wait to bring him to present to the Prince tomorrow morning!"

Xiahou Lingyu was furious when he heard this. He took two steps forward and said loudly: "You ask that thief Hong Wuji to come out to see me! How did he get this resurrection plant? He went to Tongyuan Inn to become a thief and stole it.

He got hold of my Nine-turn Resurrection Grass and escaped. His accomplice Chen Chongling has now been captured by the police and they have recruited him. The police are looking for news about Hong Wuji everywhere in the city, but they did not expect that he would hide it.

Enter the Prince of Zhou’s Mansion!”

Li Chengdong laughed loudly and said: "Steward Liao, if your relative is a thief and steals the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass, will our prince be happy if he finds out about it?"

Liao Zhicheng said with a stern face, "Girl, you said that the Nine-turn Resurrection Plant is yours, but is there any evidence to prove that it belongs to you?"

Xiahou Lingyu glared and said, "If you ask Hong Wuji to come out to see me, I will question him face to face!"

When Liao Zhicheng heard what Xiahou Lingyu said, he secretly complained in his heart. This thing is most likely true. He hates that Hong Wuji deceived him and only said that he accidentally picked this priceless tree on the high mountain.

I want to use the Resurrection Grass to present it to the prince, and I want to seek an official position. Now I am blocked in the door, and even I can't get rid of it, at least I am accused of covering up the thief.

Li Chengdong waved his hand and said in a strange tone: "Brothers, go in and capture Hong Wuji for me, and interrogate him carefully. Don't let him unjustly accuse someone who is loyal to the prince."

Butler Liao! Did you hear that?" The guards agreed and broke into the reverse room.

Liao Zhicheng stretched out his hands, blocked the way of the guards, and shouted sternly: "Wait a minute! The reverse chamber is an important place. Who allowed you to enter the reverse chamber?"

Li Chengdong laughed, stepped forward and pulled away Liao Zhicheng's hand, like an old friend, gently pushed Liao Zhicheng's ribs with his hand, pushed Liao Zhicheng aside, and said with a smile: "Steward Liao, don't be like this.

! You must distinguish between public and private things when doing things. You cannot protect him just because he is your relative. What will it look like if it is spread out? If the prince knows that others have given stolen goods to him, he will be angry to death! "

Liao Zhicheng's martial arts skills were far inferior to Li Chengdong's. With his seemingly indifferent push, he involuntarily stepped back a few steps and gave way to the house. All the guards rushed in, but Xiahou Lingyu did not dare to enter and only stood guard.

Outside the window, I was afraid that the man named Hong would escape through the window.

Let’s talk about Hong Wuji. When he was at the inn, he saw Xiahou Lingyu chasing Chen Chongling. He was secretly amused. He sneaked into the house and stole the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass. He thought to himself, I have a cousin named Liao Zhicheng, who is now the second housekeeper in the Prince Zhou’s Mansion.

I am so favored by the prince, why don't I take this resurrecting plant and go to the King of Zhou to seek an official position instead of going to Liaodong? I heard that the hellish place in Liaodong is so cold in winter that it can even freeze your jaw, so I won't go there.

good!

He originally didn't want to share the credit with Chen Chongling. He wanted both the Resurrection Grass and the Xiahou Lingyu, but he just tricked Chen Chongling into working as his thug.

Thinking of this, Hong Wuji changed his mind and came to Prince Zhou's Mansion to meet Liao Zhicheng with this resurrecting plant on his back. He only said that he dug it accidentally on the mountain and specially came to present it to the prince!

How did Liao Zhicheng know that he stole it? Hearing what Hong Wuji said, he was very happy in his life. The prince loved these things the most. Someone presented a treasure to him. How could the person who presented the treasure not be appreciated? If his cousin also worked in this prince's palace,

I, Liao Zhicheng, am like having an extra right-hand man in the palace! Liao Zhicheng is extremely happy.

Therefore, Liao Zhicheng happily left Hong Wuji behind and placed him in the reverse room to rest, preparing to take him to see the prince tomorrow morning. How could he have imagined that such a thing would happen?

The guards entered the reverse room and looked around for Hong Wuji. Hong Wuji could hear clearly in the room. He was panicking. He picked up a blue cloth bag and a black bamboo wand, opened a window and jumped out.

When I got out, I wanted to escape!

Xiahou Lingyu was afraid that he would jump out of the window and escape, so she stared outside, but the boy jumped out of the window and escaped. Xiahou Lingyu took a step forward and struck down with the Biyun Sword. Hong Wuji gritted his teeth,

He raised the black bamboo wand in his hand and released a black light to chop Xiahou Lingyu. Xiahou Lingyu hurriedly recited a spell and received the black light. The two of them were each knocked back five steps away.

When Li Chengdong saw it, he exclaimed, "This kid can also do magic! Come on, brothers, get this thief who knows magic!" When the guards saw Hong Wuji jumping out of the window to escape, they immediately jumped out of the window.

He jumped out of the window, walked out of the door, and with a crash, Hong Wuji was surrounded.

Hong Wuji's eyes turned red. He pointed at the upside-down house with the black bamboo wand in his hand. A red light rushed out and lit the brick-and-wood structure.

"Let me see if you put out the fire or not!"
