This Marshal of the Palace

Holding back his breath and hiding behind the curtain, Yan Ci held the boning knife in his hand, and held a few hidden weapons between his other fingers.

The effect is comparable to the sound of the flute of sweating medicine, no wonder that person has not been found, but in this way, those deployments outside are useless.

"Creak." The sound of the door opening.

"Brother, don't worry, I saw that Bei Ci leave with my own eyes." A male voice that was a bit immature but couldn't hide its fierceness sounded.

"Then hurry up, your flute sound won't enchant those people for too long." Another gloomy male voice sounded, and then she heard the sound of the blade piercing the flesh and the increasingly intense smell of blood.

Gently turning his wrist, the boning knife was pulled out and nestled in his hand without a sound. Yan Ci looked through the gap at the two busy figures, one tall and one short, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Brother, everything is ready."

"Okay, let's go."

It didn't take long for the smell of blood to fill the whole room, and the door creaked again, and the two brothers walked out of the door swaggeringly.

Playing the fire, Yan Ci sneered and looked at the scene in the room. The adult whose neck was wiped by her had been dismembered into several large pieces.

"Tsk." Even on the battlefield, it is rare to see corpses broken into pieces like this, so it's no wonder those people said their methods were cruel.

Taking a few steps back, Yan Ci narrowed his eyes and looked at the dismembered corpse. Although he said that this person deserved to die, it was not so dead that the whole corpse could not be left behind.

There was still no sound outside, probably because those people hadn't woken up from the sound of the flute, Yan Ci turned off the fire and was about to turn around and step on something.

"What is it?" Bending down to pick it up, it was a round jade pendant, the patterns on it were very complicated and hard to see clearly.

Opening the fire folder, Yan Ci saw clearly that the jade pendant was engraved with a beautiful Luan bird, the size of a palm, and the word Jin Luan was engraved on the bottom corner.

"Looking for death." I was completely murderous. This jade pendant was not intended by the Princess Mansion, and it was also the one that Ye Qingling often wore. At that time, it was not as simple as a simple Beijing official dying tragically at home at night.

Going out through the window, out of the mansion Yanci saw that Xining and the others looked like the guards in the mansion with blank eyes.

"Xining." Wake people up directly, Yan Ci didn't say much nonsense, "Wake up all the people, and then send 20 people to guard around the princess mansion, don't let the emperor's people notice. Then bring a few people to follow me Come over with the mark left, and the others will return to the city guard and stand by."

After finishing the arrangements, Yan Ci took out a small bamboo tube about a palm long from his bosom, pulled off the cover fastened on the bamboo tube, and a small bee flew out.

Seeking bees, trained by Bai Qingran, can follow the scent of specific spices to find people who have been contaminated with spices, and before the senior brother came, she had already sprinkled the spices on the corpse, as long as it was someone who touched the corpse later Everyone will have the smell of that spice.

"It's up to you." Yan Ci dipped some spice on his fingertips and shook it before looking for the bee, and then the bee made a few turns in the air before flying in one direction.

Following Xun Feng, Yan Ci turned around in the alleys in the city, and almost bumped into Da Chang twice.

When it was dawn, Xun Feng took Yanci to an inconspicuous small courtyard. The location of the small courtyard was remote, and there was nothing in the courtyard. When I touched the doorpost, there was still a lot of dust on it. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time. .

But if you look closely, you can see that the dust on the door is much less than that on the wall.

Putting Xun Feng back into the bamboo tube, Yan Ci pushed the door in without much scruples. The sound of the door opening woke up the two people inside, and they came out with weapons.

"Bei Ci!"

Only then did Yan Ci see the two of them clearly. The tall one was muscular, with a fierce face, and a scar on his chin that extended to his neck, while the short one was very thin, only reaching the tall one's shoulders. She has a feminine appearance, and with a pair of hanging eyes, she doesn't want to be a good person.

"Why, surprised to see me?" The boning knife turned in his hand, Yan Ci had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"I have to say that you are also very skilled. Layers of protection inside and outside the Princess Mansion even allowed you to steal the princess's jade pendant. It's a pity that you put it at the wrong time. Even if you let the Princess Mansion last night, you will be involved in this matter, but I chose today." Yan Ci took out the jade pendant and tossed it up and down.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, the hand holding the weapon tightened, and with a twist of the wrist, the two knives slashed straight at Yan Ci.

"Looking for death." Yanci hooked his ankle to the table on one side, and she hooked it over, and then directly bumped into the two brothers with his foot.

"Dare to come out because you know all sorts of secret techniques? How dare you think about touching the princess mansion?" Yan Ci twisted his fingertips, held the boning knife with his backhand, and pointed the sharp blade at the two of them.

The two got up from the ground, the senior brother picked up the junior brother's knife and stood in front, and the junior brother took out a flute out of nowhere and put it under his lips, as if it was about to blow it.

The flute is no different from ordinary flutes. If you have to say something, it is a little shorter than ordinary flutes, and there are black circles outside every certain distance.

The flute sounded, the same as it had been heard before.

Under the watchful eyes of the two seniors, Yan Ci sat on a bench and stretched out his little finger to pick his ears, with a bored expression on his face.

"Go on, it's better than those in Jichunlou." Yanci raised her eyebrows and smiled when the flute stopped.

Jichunlou is the popularly known Chunlou, but Jichunlou is different from ordinary Chunlou. Most of the people who go there are scholars who claim to be literati, so most of the girls in it can play the flute. Now let’s compare him with those girls. Bi, obviously looked down on him.

He didn't care about why the sound of the flute didn't respond to Yan Ci, so the senior brother rushed towards Yan Ci with a knife first.

"Bah."

Yan Ci just raised the boning knife and slipped it, the senior brother's two wrists spurted blood at the same time, and the two knives fell to the ground.

"Brother." The junior called out, looking flustered.

It was already bright outside, and Yan Ci didn't bother to ink with them any more, he threw out the hidden weapon in his hand and directly restrained them.

Taking the flute away from his hand, Yan Ci turned around and was about to go out.

As soon as one foot stepped out of the door frame, there was an extremely fast sound of breaking through the air from the back, and just as the body turned away, a hairpin-shaped thing slid across the arm.

"Hiss." The sudden pain made Yan Ci gasp, and when he looked on the ground, he saw a needle that had been magnified by an unknown number of times.

Out of the yard with a black face, Xining and other people guarding outside the yard came up at the same time.

"You should know how to deal with those two people inside when you take them back." Yan Ci said with a sullen face.

"Yes." Xining nodded and led the people in.

When Yan Ci returned to the Princess Mansion, Ye Qingling had already woken up and was sitting in the room waiting for her to come back.

"Hey, Qingling, why did you wake up so early, don't you want to sleep a little longer?" With a smile on his face, he moved to Ye Qingling's side.

"Where did you go last night?" Ye Qingling cut to the chase with a very indifferent tone.

No one knew how scared she was when she woke up this morning and found that Yan Ci was not by her side. She was afraid that the idiot would try to be brave and sneak out in the middle of the night to find the murderer, and that she would never come back. Every second of waiting was a torment.Fortunately, she came back, and it seemed that nothing happened.

"I didn't go anywhere, didn't I just sleep with you." Yan Ci was glad that he took a shower and changed clothes before returning, otherwise it would be really difficult to say.

"What about this morning?" Ye Qingling still looked at Yan Ci like that.

"I... this morning..." Yan Ci felt that the cold sweat on his back was about to soak out, and he suddenly touched the flute in his arms and pulled it out, "Didn't you say that the eldest prince likes flute? I happen to know a good flute maker, didn't I go get it this morning." The more I said, the more I felt wronged, my eyes were still wet, like a bullied puppy.

"Stop pretending, do you know how scared and worried I was when I woke up this morning? Let me tell you, Yan Ci, you are now a member of my palace, and you are not allowed to do any dangerous things without my permission, you know?" It was the first time that she put on the airs of a princess in front of Yanci, her eyes were still red, and she couldn't see any princess' majesty, but she was a little more charming like a little daughter.

"I know." Yan Ci hurriedly put the flute on the table aside and hugged Ye Qingling and replied, "I will stay in the mansion obediently in the future, and I will not do anything dangerous." The wound on the arm is still a little stinging The pain seems to remind her that there are still many things to do, and that she still has a big revenge.

Ye Qingling didn't believe that Yan Ci was just going out to get a flute. This morning, she asked the hidden guards guarding around if they saw Yan Ci going out, and all the answers were no, so she knew that Yan Ci must be doing something dangerous. Because if it's an ordinary thing, she doesn't need to go out quietly.

"Hey, Qingling, look, this little wood mouse can move by itself when placed on the table, and this little grasshopper can jump by itself." Seeing that the red circles around Ye Qingling's eyes receded a little, Yan Ci immediately took it out of her arms. A few gadgets were put on the table to make Ye Qingling happy.

These were all brought out by the way after she changed clothes. Those people moved all the rare treasures into the house according to her request. There are rare treasures, but there are also a lot of strange things, that The small warehouse was stuffed to the brim by them, and they continued to move things into it.

These gadgets are small wooden mechanisms, which are specially used for amusing people, but the workmanship in her hands is so fine that it looks like the real thing.

"Do you treat me like a child?" Ye Qingling said while teasing these little things in his hand.

Yan Ci smiled and didn't let it go: "Then think I like to play, okay? I also know a little bit about tricks. Next time I will make you a better one than this."

Yan Ci didn't say anything, and Ye Qingling didn't want to force her, so he could only bury the questions in his heart together with the previous questions, waiting for Yan Ci to explain clearly to her in person one day.
