Outside the Imperial City.

Suzaku Gate.

Under the same drizzle, unlike Yang Zaiwei's running around intercepting and fighting against the clock, Xiao Hei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the beautiful figure under the paper umbrella not far away.

When I return to the Tang Dynasty, the person I want to see most is Wan'er.

Because the person closest to her at that time, besides Li Yan, was the little lady she hugged and slept with every night on the way to Tibet.

In twenty years, a girl who was relegated to Yeting and suffered from hardship since she was a child has become a powerful and powerful leader of the Imperial Guard.

Nowadays, the situation in Chang'an is peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Xiao Hei wanted to discuss it with Wan'er, but after seeing it, he was not in a hurry and looked at it quietly.

As if feeling this sight, the edge of the paper umbrella moved upward slightly, revealing a pair of penetrating eyes, looking this way.

Xiao Hei nodded in greeting and smiled slightly.

Wan'er's face is covered with gauze, and her eyes appear brilliant.

Just as Xiao Hei was about to walk over, a clear voice came from his ears: "This sister looks so familiar. When have we met before?"

The two sides were tens of feet apart, and they were on a busy street. The sound transmission was not only extremely clear, but also seemed to have blocked out the noise around them. Such cultivation was truly remarkable.

However, Li Yan created the way of Zhenqi based on his strength, which is more in line with the method of Zhenqi. Wan'er is his direct descendant. He has talent, experience, inheritance and wealth. He has no shortage of everything. It is natural to have such an achievement.

Xiao Hei was not surprised, he stopped, and also used his magic power to transmit the voice: "I also feel that my sister is very familiar to me, and we are very destined!"

Wan'er took the initiative to walk over, and when she was in front of her, she stretched out her paper umbrella to cover her head.

The two women walked side by side on the streets of Chang'an, their movements were very natural, like friends reunited after a long separation.

Wan'er spoke again: "Where does sister come from?"

Xiao Hei told the truth: "Come from Damascus, the capital of the great food country."

Wan'er's expression remained unchanged: "Where are you going again?"

Xiao Hei inexplicably felt that this kind of question was very familiar, so he pursed his lips and said: "I am coming to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to participate in the saint's grand gathering for thousands of years."

Wan'er said: "That sister came at just the right time."

Xiao Hei shook his head and deliberately sighed: "It's not the right time. I didn't know until I arrived in Chang'an that although the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful with the coming of thousands of kingdoms, there were also undercurrents surging, and there was fear of disaster, especially in the Daming Palace. There were dark clouds.

Cover your head!"

These words are very serious and even seem to be a curse.

Wan'er's expression remained calm: "I was born in sorrow and died in happiness. There is no peace in the world. In the prosperous age, there is even more danger and disaster!"

Xiao Hei smiled happily, she was probably the only woman in the world who dared to say these words on the eve of the Qianqiu Festival.

Wan'er continued to ask: "The strange appearance of the Daming Palace, can you elaborate on it?"

The little gangster said: "There is nothing more ominous than a natural or man-made disaster."

"Natural disasters can be predicted, but as long as the court is stable and the government is clear and clear, even if the weather is smooth every year, disaster relief can be provided to the people and the situation can be stabilized."

"This is a man-made disaster, and it should be blamed on those thieves with ulterior motives. We need to take precautions in advance, but don't make a big mistake and regret it too late!"

Wan'er blinked: "In my sister's opinion, who is the thief?"

Xiao Hei also blinked and went straight to the topic: "The big food dancer Ranmasanti has evil intentions. As for who else is behind her who is ambitious, my sister has an extraordinary state, so I have to leave it to you.

Investigate the truth of everything!"

Wan'er said: "Sister, you are ridiculous. I am just a mortal, and it is difficult for me to know all the mysteries in the world. I can only try my best to solve them."

Xiao Hei grinned, but thinking about it carefully, Wan'er's words were indeed correct.

The strongest person is still a human being.

But the next moment, Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around: "Where are we going?"

Wan'er held an umbrella and led the way. At some point, the two of them arrived at Guangzhaifang.

This is the northernmost Fang District of Chang'an, and further ahead is the Daming Palace.

Wan'er's eyes were looking in the direction of Daming Palace, and she calmly said: "Sister, aren't you going to come here?"

"I do have a plan..."

Xiaohei said: "Are you going to take me in?"

Wan'er said: "If sister is willing, we can go in now. I'm not sure about other places. Only the Beiya Imperial Guards in the Daming Palace can feel more at ease."

Xiao Hei kept walking and said calmly: "You will still catch me after all..."

In the conversation just now, she pointed out that the great food dancer Ramashanti was plotting something evil and was preparing to use the power of internal guards to find out the real behind-the-scenes instigator. The reason was of course her trust in this person.

Xiao Hei did not agree with what General Abu said about the prince's motive for killing his father and seizing power, but he also believed that there must be a force among the internal guards that facilitated the fake envoys' entry into Beijing for the purpose of an all-out war between the two great powers.

It is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and Li Yan's former team members cannot be completely trusted after twenty years of ups and downs in officialdom.

What's more, with the internal guards growing so much, we can't just look at the high-level cabinet leaders, there are also a large number of middle-level officials who hold important positions and have considerable power.

Fortunately, just as Yang Zaiwei trusted Qiu Shenji, Xiao Hei trusted Wan'er the most. This leader of the inner guard who saw the dragon but never saw its end was definitely the staunch guardian of the Tang Dynasty.

But it's obvious that the other party doesn't trust me.

This is normal. After all, when you meet a strange woman on the road and say what you just said, everyone seems to be tempted to take advantage of her.

"It's not an arrest. I do feel familiar with my sister, and I believe you have no ill intentions..."

The paper umbrella in Wan'er's hand still covered the heads of the two of them, shoulder to shoulder, and said in a calm tone: "It's just the Duke of Wei and his party, but they have disturbed the peace of the Duke. This cannot be tolerated!"

Xiao Hei did not deny it, but asked curiously: "How did you know it was me?"

Wan'er said: "At first, I relied on the smell and chased you all the way to the Suzaku Gate. Later, when I saw my sister, I knew that you were someone who came in and out of Duke Wei's mansion."

"As expected of the successor of Weishi Jin!"

Xiao Hei thought that Wan'er was still around when she first opened her five senses, and deliberately snorted: "What's wrong? There are only a few guards there, and it doesn't look like they can protect Zhenwu Shengjun's family. I made such a fuss

, I also want to give you a wake-up call, don’t slack off!”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wan'er shook her head gently: "Wei Guogong's family does not seek fame and wealth, and has no fight with the world. If they are guarded at all levels, they will feel uncomfortable, and those

Although the manpower is small, it is enough to protect ordinary people, but it cannot guard against someone as strong as my sister."

Xiao Hei thought for a while, but nodded and said: "With the respect people have for Zhenwu, that kind of guard is indeed enough..."

Wan'er turned her head and looked over: "Sister doesn't seem to believe in the Holy King, but she cares a lot about Duke Wei's family, which makes me even more curious. Where is your sister from?"

Xiao Hei tilted his head: "You want to know my origin? How about making an agreement. You find out the instigator behind Lanmasanti, and I will tell you the secret of my identity. How about that?"

The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and Wan'er nodded: "Okay!"

Xiao Hei smiled: "It's settled!"

At this point in the conversation, the majestic outer walls of the Daming Palace were already in sight, and a group of internal guards with neat steps and calm momentum came around like ghosts, guarding the two of them together, and formally entered the palace, arriving at the Hanyuan Hall.

scope.

The Daming Palace has three main halls, from south to north, namely the Hanyuan Hall, the Xuanzheng Hall and the Zichen Hall, which represent the outer dynasty, the middle dynasty and the inner dynasty, forming the basic layout of this palace that symbolizes the supreme power in the world.

On the west side of the Hanyuan Hall, there is an office space for the inner guards, which highlights the special status of not being under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and directly taking orders from the saints. For a period of time, it was even called the Internal Affairs Hall by the officials of the outer court.

Wan'er took Xiao Hei to the political hall and stopped in a hall at the back: "Sister, please rest here for the next few days."

Xiao Hei looked around: "Although it's not an arrest, I thought you would at least put me in prison!"

Wan'er said calmly: "Sister has great achievements and is a guest from afar. I have to follow the way of hospitality. I have been wronged in the past few days. I will thank you and apologize after the matter is found out."

Xiao Hei laughed: "You are sincere, that's fine, just let people outside watch and do your own thing!"

Wan'er was not in a hurry, and made tea with her own hands. After inviting Xiao Hei to taste it, she stood up and said, "Sister, please take it easy, I'm going to look for 'man-made trouble'."

Xiao Hei watched her leave, pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head, and drank slowly.

In fact, today's environment is a real dragnet.

Not only Wan'er, the profound and unfathomable leader of the inner guard, showed up in person to lead people, but there were also a cloud of experts outside, each occupying the key points, and the most elite Beiya Imperial Army was on standby at any time. Even if Yang Zaiwei came,

Don't dare to act rashly.

But it doesn't work for her...

While Xiao Hei was drinking tea, a strange golden hair poked out of his sleeve and slowly transformed into exactly the same version of himself.

No better than Brother Monkey's life-saving hair, which can transform into a eloquent and vivid avatar. This is an illusion that can only perform the most basic actions, but it is enough to confuse the watchers outside.

After the illusion was completed, Xiao Hei arranged for her to sit on the ground, and he used the invisibility method to quietly leave the yard.

Are you stupid? Sister knows magic!

Wan'er's guess was correct. Xiao Hei's original plan was to visit the Daming Palace and see with his own eyes the first dancer of the Great Eclipse, Lan Masanti.

As a detective, the investigation of the case must be from beginning to end, and you cannot entrust it to someone even close to you.

Advancing both ends is more secure.

Well, including Yang Zaiwei’s side, it should be a three-way process!

Xiao Hei believes that she has an advantage. As an outsider, she does not need to pay attention to the intricacies of the internal forces of the Tang Dynasty. And she is in the Daming Palace. This is the best time to find the truth.
