Live broadcast: The female heavenly master slays demons and protects the Tao in the power plot

There is no moon tonight.

The palace where Empress Yuan lived still had lanterns hanging outside the door as usual, as if there were still people living inside. Only when you entered did you realize that the building was empty.

There were a few inconspicuous black figures in the courtyard, sitting or standing.

When Du Manzhi arrived, several people looked at her at the same time.

The lowest-ranking person among them was the current commander Yuan Jing, who glanced behind her subconsciously.

Du Manzhi said: "Don't look at it, it's just me."

Wei Chenfeng was busy sorting out information about people from other worlds. Xichang's spies were all over the place, and there was too much true and false information.

Even if the information has been screened by the person below, he cannot divide it into eight parts by himself, and it takes up a lot of time to browse them one by one.

Not letting him appear too early was also the result of Du Manzhi's careful consideration.

He didn't object, he just watched her finish her supper before sending her out.

Yuan Jing was exposed by Du Manzhi's words, his old face turned red, and he held on to hold his respect: "What did I see? It's not like that."

Du Manzhi pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the three people behind him.

Two men and one woman.

The old man and old lady standing were both dressed as warriors. They were full of energy and their hair was almost black.

There was a bamboo chair carried by two people among them, and an old man with white hair and skinny limbs sat slumped on the chair.

The old lady's thick hair was neatly tied back, and her eyes were like lightning: "Little girl, you invited us here, what do you want to say?"

Only then did Du Manzhi know that the secret guard army had three leaders.

This also reflects how brilliant and large the secret guard was in the hands of the late emperor.

Now only the young Yuan Jing is with the emperor, which seems perfunctory no matter how he looks at it.

Especially among the three leaders in front of them, although one of them is disabled, the remaining two appear to be highly skilled in martial arts and strong in body, and are not old enough to need to retire at all.

Moreover, the tacit understanding between the gestures of a man and a woman, the swords made of the same material at their waists, and the similar facial features between Yuan Jing and the two of them... all indicate that these two are not only a pair, but they are probably Yuan Jing's grandparents.

With their two swords combined, they may not be able to fight Wei Chenfeng.

At least before Wei Chenfeng awakened the black energy, these two had a pretty good chance of winning.

What's interesting is that neither the emperor nor Yuan Jing seemed to have thought of asking them to assassinate Nine Thousand Years Old.

Du Manzhi guessed that they had long been suspicious of the late emperor's death, but there was no evidence, so they continued to protect the current emperor in accordance with the late emperor's orders.

When Yuan Jing was almost able to take charge of his own business, they naturally retired.

Du Manzhi cupped his hands and said: "I asked Yuan Tong to take the lead yesterday, and they arrived today. It seems that they live in Kyoto and hide in the city. They did it."

The old man's face was stern: "No need to say any more gossip, what happened to your Majesty?"

Hearing the word "Your Majesty," the white-haired old man's eyes rolled blankly, and he seemed to wake up for a moment.

Du Manzhi noticed that a red rope hung on the old man's skinny wrist, and at the end of the red rope was a fish-shaped bamboo sculpture.

She had seen exactly the same one in her mother-in-law's hands.

The soul of my mother-in-law once said: "The commander of the secret guards at that time was my best friend..."

Du Manzhi thought at that time that if the commander had not died in the palace incident, or if someone around him recognized her mother-in-law, her words would be more credible.

So she obtained her mother-in-law's permission and removed the fish-shaped bamboo sculpture from the corpse's hand.

Two identical little fish appeared on this occasion at the same time.

The three old commanders were stunned.

Du Manzhi shook her mother-in-law's pendant.

She watched the white-haired old man's eyes change from chaos to clarity, and gradually burst into tears. She muttered vague words with difficulty, vaguely:

"Ru Xi...Your Majesty..."

The old lady stretched out her hand to take away the bamboo carving: "How come my sister-in-law's things are in your hands? Have you seen her?"

Du Manzhi avoided it gently.

"If your sister-in-law is Aunt Ruxi who served the late emperor back then, then I have indeed met her. She escaped from the palace to move reinforcements and was almost beaten to death on the way. She lost her memory. She returned to Kyoto this year."

The old lady was silenced for a moment by the huge amount of information.

"...move in reinforcements?" She turned around subconsciously: "Brother, why did you go outside to move reinforcements? What happened back then?"

The old man next to her was more steady and held her back.

"Jin Niang, calm down. My eldest brother was seriously injured in that assassination, and he accidentally swallowed a strange poison. He has been unconscious for many years. Even if you ask him, he can't answer anything. Why not ask this girl who knows about it."

His words answered Du Manzhi's doubts.

Why don't you go to find her when your mother-in-law's sweetheart is still alive?

Why do the Secret Guards still regard the emperor as their leader?

Because the truth is covered up.

She felt that the strange poison in the white-haired commander was probably secretly administered by the emperor.

The emperor wanted the commander to shut up about this.

However, the three commanders worked together and provided adequate treatment and protection, allowing him to live for several decades longer.

The paralyzed old man called "Ruxi" repeatedly.

After waiting a lifetime, I finally heard news about her, but she was already in her twilight years.

"Girl, where is my sister-in-law now? Let her meet with my eldest brother. Maybe... it will be the last time." The old lady pleaded softly.

When Du Manzhi saw that the old man's life was faltering, he knew that he was indeed dying.

"She's dead."

She cruelly dashed their hopes and told them all about her experience with her mother-in-law.

The white-haired old man's eyes showed pain, and he screamed for a while, then suddenly stared straight in one direction: "...Your Majesty..."

His sister and brother-in-law almost thought they had met a ghost!

"It is said that people can channel spirits before they die. Could it be... that the late emperor showed his spirit?"

Du Manzhi rolled his eyes silently.

"He wants to tell you the truth about that year while he is still breathing."

The white-haired old man struggled to control his stiff body and nodded vaguely.

"follow me."

Du Manzhi opened the secret room again.

The cement walls and floor tiles did not shock the old people, but Yuan Jing, who had never seen the world, was amazed. He held up a lantern and looked at it curiously.

Under the floor tiles, dense bloodworms and dried blood stains made them fall into silence.

Du Manzhi was already prepared and took out various materials from the bag.

"It's empty talk. Please see for yourself what happened back then."

During the day, she carried a lot of clothes, jewelry, food and toys that were unique to the human world, and went to bribe the fairies in the Qing Palace, and learned this technique from them on a temporary basis.

After the formation is set up, people sit in a specific location in a specific environment, take key items and place them in the center of the formation, and then set a year, so that the people in the formation can review the scene as a clue holder.

The most conspicuous clue in the secret room is the blood of the late emperor.

Du Manzhi shoveled a handful of blood-soaked soil and asked the three commanders to sit in three corners.

Yuan Jing said stupidly: "What about me?"

Before Du Manzhi could speak, the old lady glared at her beloved grandson: "What are you, why don't you get out and guard the door for Du Zhenren?"

Yuan Jing said aggrievedly.

Du Manzhi lit the incense: "You can only stay in a dream for one stick of incense. When you hear me say "turn back," wake up silently in your heart. Don't waste time in it."

The old lady's husband asked her: "What will happen if she doesn't come back?"

Du Manzhi glanced at him specifically.

"Then I really can't come back."
