"Brother Qi, I have wronged you."

His Royal Highness looked at Qi Mo who was standing in front of him in the servant's clothes, and apologized in embarrassment.

"It's okay." Qi Mo shook his head indifferently: "Then, after we enter the palace, Your Highness, we will act according to the plan."

"Okay, just be careful."

His Royal Highness took Qi Mo all the way into the palace, and on the way he took the opportunity to ask Eunuch Li, who had always come to pick him up: "Eunuch Li, I remember I ate a delicious snack at Emperor Father's last time... .”

"His Royal Highness is talking about jujube cakes."

"That's right, that's the way. I don't know if this imperial dining room is still available. Let my accompanying servant go get some and bring them back for me to eat."

"His Royal Highness is just joking. If you don't have someone else's, you can't lose yours." Eunuch Li is obviously a person who knows how to deal with things: "Old servant, I will order someone to bring it to you after a while."

His Royal Highness smiled: "Thank you, Eunuch Li, but for such trivial matters, let my servant go directly to the imperial dining room to get them myself."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qi Mo behind him: "Little... little chess piece, you go to the imperial dining room first, and remember to wait for me at the gate outside the palace after you get the pastry."

The "little chess piece" didn't speak, but bowed his head and bowed to the opponent, and then retreated silently.

When the people walked away, Qi Mo said to Eunuch Li again: "Let's go, Eunuch Li, let's go and see my father first."

After Qi Mo had gone far away, he looked around and found that there was no one else, so he found a place to change into a black outfit and covered his face by the way.Only then did he quietly use his lightness kung fu and head towards the National Teacher Hall that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned yesterday.

When he finally arrived at the place, Qi Mo quietly hid himself on the roof, looking at the surprisingly peaceful courtyard in the hall, he couldn't help frowning.

Something is wrong, no matter how peaceful the palace is, it is impossible for there to be no one.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It seems that this national teacher does have some unknown secrets.

Thinking of this, Qi Mo practiced lightness kung fu again and came to the courtyard.After seeing that there was no one around, he walked into the house one by one.

There was no one in the room, so Qi Mo touched the other party's desk, and after seeing that there were some ordinary paintings and calligraphy on the table, he thought to himself: It seems that this national teacher is still a thoughtful person.

Seeing that the entire house was searched, but no useful clues were found.Just when Qi Mo was about to leave, he heard footsteps from far to near outside. There should be more than one person listening to this sound.

Qi Mo looked around the room carefully, then the moment the other party pushed the door and entered, he put away his aura and hid it on the beam.

Pushing the door open was a man wearing a white gold-patterned robe and a bronze scale-textured mask. Presumably this was the "National Teacher" that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was talking about.

But the one who came in behind the other party was a young man in bright yellow clothes and a crown. Judging from his gorgeous attire, it seemed that this person had an unusual status.

Sure enough, the conversation between the two of them in the next second confirmed Qi Mo's guess.

"Fifth Prince, I have done what you said I should do, but I don't know why I haven't received what I want recently." The voice of the masked man was extremely hoarse and old, and there was even a little bit of sarcasm in his tone. cruelty and dissatisfaction.

The person known as the fifth prince sat down indifferently and said, "I can't help it. Recently, the benevolent prince has been investigating more closely, and even spread everywhere that the snake is not as big as it is rumored to be." The effect of tonic is too much. This has convinced many people who have been favored by him, and the number of catches of this snake has become less and less."

The national teacher is obviously not a master who is easily fooled. After listening to the fifth prince's explanation, he sneered instead: "Ah, I think you are incompetent. It's no wonder that your father would choose that prince when he was sober." His Royal Highness."

"You!" The fifth prince was obviously stimulated by the other party's words. Since he was a child, he hated that others would compare himself with the prince in everything.Now it is not easy to wait until the father is confused, but he did not expect to be overwhelmed by His Royal Highness, and his heart is naturally full of resentment and unwillingness: "Master, don't forget who gave you this seat! Who provided convenience for your cultivation!"

Looking at the person who was messed up by his casual agitation, the national teacher became more contemptuous in his heart, but now is not the time to tear his face: "Of course I know, but the fifth prince, don't forget, what I can give They are the same. So I would like to trouble the Fifth Prince to put more thought into it, and when my cultivation becomes more refined, it will be the time when the Fifth Prince's wish will come true."

"Humph! This prince knows!" After being lectured by the national teacher, the original good mood when he entered the door was completely replaced by resentment. He snorted coldly, took a deep look at the national teacher, and then put down these words Just got up and left.

The national teacher looked at the back of the fifth prince leaving, and couldn't help but sneered again: "Waste is really a waste, it can't make a big deal."

When the people walked away, the national teacher turned around and walked to the side of the bookshelf, stretched out his hand and gently pressed one of the books, and saw that a part of the originally complete bookshelf suddenly moved to one side, and at this moment there appeared Behind the bookshelf is apparently a secret passage.

From the beam of the room, Qi Mo watched the person return to the original bookshelf after entering the secret passage, and he felt hesitant.So, he turned over, walked to the side of the bookshelf, fumbled and opened the secret passage again as the national teacher did just now, and followed in.

The inside of this secret passage is gloomy and dark, but fortunately, torches are lit on the surrounding walls, obviously this is the place where the national teacher often goes in and out.

The more Qi Mo walked along the secret passage, the more he smelled a bloody smell that was stronger than the first.Qi Mo frowned, he was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell of snakes!

Continuing to walk along the secret path until he reached an open space inside, Qi Mo saw a scene that shocked him.

There are intertwined ropes hanging everywhere in the middle, and the hooks on the ropes are full of bloody snakeskins!And under each of these hanging snakeskins, there are containers as big as water jars, and it is self-evident what is contained in them.

Qi Mo quietly looked at this tragic scene, and couldn't help clenching his fists!

No wonder the creatures of their clan have been gradually captured by humans in recent years, and rumors have even been spread everywhere, saying that snakes are the root of all evil, and they are evil spirits, so they are hunted and killed for human use to wash away the sins of snakes themselves.

In Bashan, he and his father felt strange when they first heard about it. Originally, their Bashan snake clan and Tushan fox clan were the same, and they were regarded as spiritual creatures by mortals.But he didn't want to be exposed to this rumor all of a sudden, ruin his reputation, and gradually reduce the number of people killed.

It turns out that the root of all this is here?

just why?Qi Mo couldn't figure out why the national teacher was able to go to such lengths to target their family!

Before Qi Mo could think of anything, he was startled by a sharp breath coming from behind him.Qi Mo was startled, and quickly dodged, dodging to a

side.

The national teacher looked at the man in black in front of him through the bronze mask with a sullen face, and said slowly: "I don't know what is the purpose of your Excellency following all the way here?"

Qi Mo didn't say anything, he didn't want to expose himself in advance before he thoroughly figured out the identity of the other party.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, the national teacher's only patience was worn out, and he said viciously, "Since your Excellency doesn't want to say it, then stay and talk slowly later!" Then he attacked Qi Mo again.

While Qi Mo received the opponent's attack one by one, he gradually moved towards the entrance of the secret passage with his body.

After several rounds, the national teacher just couldn't hurt Qi Mo at all. When he realized that the opponent wanted to escape, the national teacher attacked him more and more fiercely.

Qi Mo watched the opponent's increasingly dense and vicious offensive, and while carefully dealing with it, he observed his surroundings.When he saw the bulge on one side of the wall, he took the opportunity to take out a few darts from his pocket and threw them at the opponent. When the opponent dodged, he pressed the bulge on the wall, and smoothly dodged out of the secret passage.

The national teacher who was left in place looked angrily at the direction the other party was leaving, and his eyes were ruthless, he must find out who this person is!

Qi Mo practiced lightness kung fu all the way, and only after arriving at the place where he changed his clothes before did he let go of his heart.

Looking at the things in his hands that he tore from the opponent during the fight just now, Qi Mo's eyes deepened.

After seeing His Majesty today, His Highness the Crown Prince saw His Majesty, said goodbye to him for a while, and hurried all the way to the gate of the palace, he saw Qi Mo who was waiting again with a food box.

Due to Eunuch Li who came out behind him to see him off, His Royal Highness simply asked, "But did you get the jujube cake?"

Qi Mo lowered his head and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Not bad." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became happy when he heard the words, and then looked at Eunuch Li at the side: "Eunuch, stay for a while, the emperor still needs to take good care of his father."

Eunuch Li squeezed his throat and nodded: "Your Highness is joking, this is the duty of this old slave, Your Highness, please slow down on the road."

His Highness the Crown Prince nodded, and then took Qi Mo into the carriage and headed towards the Crown Prince's Mansion.

"But there are gains?" In the carriage, His Royal Highness asked Qi Mo, who had already taken off his servant's coat and put on his own.

Qi Mo nodded, and handed the things in his hand to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "Yes, there are, but they were discovered. This is something I quietly picked off from the national teacher during the fight."

His Royal Highness took a look at the thing, it was a very small round jade pendant, such a small jade pendant was rarely used as an accessory to hang on the waist.

His Royal Highness turned the jade pendant gently and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was a small sunflower pattern engraved on the bottom of the jade pendant: "This is?"

"Your Highness read that right, the small pattern on it is the same as the one found on the body of the flute-playing snake-leader at the Tushan Hunting Ceremony that day."
