The wind in the cold night is still raging.

Old Pumpkin took Gu Heng through the night. Because of Gu Heng's identity, there was no restriction on him going to Yu Yan's house in Kyoto to find someone.

But I have been busy for half a night, but to no avail.

The last private residence, Fengtingshan Villa.

"Is the direction wrong?" Old Pumpkin squatted on the ground and reopened the map in his hand.

The black cat jumped off his shoulder and darted into the darkness.

Gu Heng looked at the black cat, and Old Pumpkin looked at the map and said, "It's okay. Let her go around and see something. Let's figure it out again."

Gu Heng averted his eyes, "If the other party didn't lead people to Yu Yan's other courtyard, I can't think of anything else that would allow the other party to use Xiao Jiayuan to harm Yu Yan.

In other words, our direction was wrong from the beginning.

They didn’t want to harm Yu Yan at all?”

Old Pumpkin shook his head, "I must be thinking about it, but we must have missed something."

As soon as Old Pumpkin finished speaking, the black cat that jumped out before meowed and came back, pointing its front paws at the door, staring at Old Pumpkin with its brown eyes.

Gu Heng stood up quickly, "Did you find something?"

Black Cat nodded.

The old pumpkin rolled up the map and ran away with it.

It's a secret passage.

It was the secret passage entrance of the Fengtingshan Villa that the second prince and the emperor escaped from last time.

The black cat jumped up nimbly, patted a green brick on the wall with its paw, the secret passage opened, and Old Pumpkin led Gu Heng down.

"I go!"

Hidden in the secret passage are dragon robes, dragon crowns, and even three large boxes full of gold ingots.

"When did you get this? It's impossible for Yu Yan to do such a thing! This secret passage... The last time the emperor escaped from here, Prince Yu was captured, but the palace was closed in two days

"Zhao Zhan, no one will come here again, this..."

Gu Heng scanned the secret room with his eyes and quickly found a document on a square table.

He took a few steps over and picked up the letter to read.

I scanned it in a hurry, and the general meaning was: I have prepared three thousand weapons for the young prince's important event. I hope the young prince will succeed, and don't break our promise.

No payment was made.

Old Pumpkin stood behind Gu Heng, squinting his eyes with a cold light, "This is the handwriting of the fourth prince of Nanzhao Kingdom."

Gu Heng had no doubts about what Old Pumpkin said. His fingers holding the letter turned white from the exertion, "So, those weapons were really prepared for Yu Yan. With this letter, Yu Yan colluded with foreign enemies and planned to rebel.

Even if it’s settled.”

Old Pumpkin hummed, his voice filled with anger that Gu Heng had never felt before.

Old Pumpkin obviously has a face covered with scars and his true face cannot be seen, but he is born with a ruffian spirit.

Everything looks lazy and out of tune.

This was the first time for Gu Heng to be so angry. He looked at Old Pumpkin.

Old Pumpkin rubbed his fingers vigorously over and over again, "These despicable people have the same methods when doing things! Put the letter away, and we will deal with the rest first."

Since the other party wants to attract the emperor’s people, let’s give him a surprise.”

Gu Heng quickly folded the letter and put it away. Old Pumpkin dealt with the dragon robe and crown, and Gu Heng checked whether there were any other fish that had slipped through the net in the secret room.

"How on earth was this thing brought in? Yu Yan has always been careful when doing things, and the people he uses in his annex are all those he has chosen to be absolutely reliable. How on earth was he brought in?"

Old Pumpkin kept moving his hands, "Yu Yan should have brought you to Fengting Mountain to stay for a while before he left Beijing. The people who sneaked in at that time may have been delivering vegetables and meat, or they could be pouring swill, but

It is not ruled out that there is a mole here.

Now is not the time for reckoning, let’s deal with the immediate situation first.

The people sent by the emperor to search and rescue Xiao Jiayuan should be attracted soon."

"Tell me, why did the other party have to use this method to deal with Yu Yan? Don't you think it's too cumbersome? It's true that the weapons were transported all the way from Nanzhao at a reasonable price. This... is more like a

A sense of ritual.”

Gu Heng's small body stood on the door frame of the secret room, watching Old Pumpkin deal with the scene.

Old Pumpkin snorted, but did not speak.

Gu Heng turned to look at the black cat.

The black cat's brown eyes were filled with glistening tears. The moment he met Gu Heng's gaze, he turned around and jumped out of the secret passage.

Does this mean you don't want to say it?

Gu Heng shrugged, leaned there with an indifferent expression, and didn't ask any more questions.

Dingyuanhou Mansion.

Marquis Dingyuan stayed up half the night.

There was no other reason. His wife, who suddenly returned from the village in the countryside, had not come back all day. It was now midnight, and he didn't even know his wife's whereabouts.

"Where did your mother go?" Marquis Dingyuan asked Sunan Li again with a cold face.

Su Nanli's eyes evaded, "Dad, don't ask me, I really don't know!"

Dingyuan Hou looked at Sun Nanli, "If your mother wants to do something stupid, you have to help her hide it?"

Sunan Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did my mother do so stupidly?"

Marquis Dingyuan looked at his daughter. Sun Nanli's appearance was 70% to 80% similar to his wife's. They both had stunning looks and... similar features to the former crown princess.

Thinking of this, Marquis Dingyuan's heart skipped a beat and he suppressed his thoughts, "I heard what you and your mother said that day in your room. You begged her to help you marry Yu Yan, and she agreed.

Yes or no?"

Sun Nanli pursed her lips, her eyes evasive at first, but after a moment she simply went all out.

"Yes! My mother loves me dearly. She sees me crying pitifully and losing weight every day. She will try her best to get me to marry Yu Yan. Unlike my father, who has a heart of stone!"

Marquis Dingyuan fell back in anger and stretched out his hand to slap Sun Nanli, but his hand was raised in the air and he could not hit him.

Su Nanli stood in front of him with her neck stiffened, "You beat me, you beat me to death, forget it, as long as I still have breath, I want to marry Yu Yan, I just like him, is there anything wrong with me liking him?"

"

"Why are you so stubborn! Yu Yan regards his princess as a treasure. You used to harm others so much. Even if you enter Yu Yan's house, will you get better?

You can't live a life of fine clothes and fine food, but you want to be angry?"

"Then I'm willing too!" Su Nanli raised her chin, "If dad doesn't have the ability to help me, don't lecture me. My mother has the ability."

Dingyuan Hou stamped his feet angrily, "Where has your mother gone? Do you know that Xiao Jiayuan has disappeared, and now the whole city is in trouble!"

Su Nanli looked confused, "What does Xiao Jiayuan's disappearance have to do with my mother? My mother wouldn't kidnap Xiao Jiayuan and threaten Yu Yan to marry me. Dad, use your brain!"

Who the hell is so brainless?

Marquis Dingyuan has one head and two heads.

"Let me ask you again, where is your mother? This is not a matter of whether you marry Yu Yan or not. This is a matter of life and death of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and a matter of your eldest brother's safety in southern Xinjiang!"

Marquis Dingyuan's tone was pleading.
