In the alley, there was silence.

Ning Cheng's heart was beating fast, but there was a confident smile on his face.He watched the young man walking towards him, then raised his hand and put the sword back into its sheath.

"How do you know who I am?"

When Ning Cheng saw that the young man lost his hostility, the big stone in his heart also fell.

"Actually, I'm only [-]% sure. I haven't been able to confirm your true identity until the adults reply."

"As expected of someone from Disobedience Palace, he is as good at clichés as Feng Pan."

It was said that the young man—or Ling You, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemed to be smiling, and seemed to be wary.

"Where did your [-]% certainty come from?"

Ning Cheng rubbed the back of his neck and said, "In the beginning, I saw that my lord was hiding his appearance, thinking that you were an enemy spy, intending to harm Sulan. But later I found out that you not only recognized the other two military envoys, but also relied on your own The power to penetrate the enchantment from the inside. Although I am not talented, I still have some confidence in setting up the enchantment."

He smiled and said: "Let me ask, a person who is outstanding in martial arts, familiar with Sulan, knows the real names and appearances of the two envoys, and can call Lord Fengpan in his peers, besides the envoys who don't show up all the year round, can who is it?"

Ling You said: "Then, how do you know my name? The name of the military envoy is taboo, except for the palace master, only the civil judges and military envoys who are serving know it."

Ning Cheng said, "Well... I just heard about it."

Just now in the West Hall, Feng Shu and Xue Hua mentioned a military envoy lurking in the Second Second Kingdom.

Since the young man in front of him is not Chi Yun and Qing Hai, he can only be the "Ling You" that those two people called him.

Ling You said: "Do you also recognize the other military envoys?"

Ning Cheng said: "I have met Master Yi Ming several times, but I don't know each other. As for Master Chi Yun and Master Qing Hai, I have never met."

Ling You glanced at the arrest warrant beside him, and asked, "Since you are someone close to Feng Pan, you should know what's going on, right?"

Ning Cheng said: "This... I won't be able to explain it for a while, why don't you ask my lord to look back at the Yun Palace first, so that Lord Feng Juan can tell you personally?"

Ning Cheng didn't know much about the two military envoys who defected.He was just an official of the Disobedience Palace, even if he was lucky enough to get to know a few important people, it didn't mean that he could freely ask the secrets of the palace.

Ling You pondered for a while, then said: "Alright, then you can enter the palace with me."

Ning Cheng was a little astonished, and said: "My lord, I still have official duties, so I will not accompany you."

He bowed to Ling You, turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by the young man's outstretched sword.

"Where did the umbrella bell on your waist come from?"

——This matter is not over yet?

Ning Cheng smiled apologetically, pushed the sword away a little, and said, "My lord, this string of bells is a gift from Lord Fengpan. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."

Ling You said: "Ask, of course I have to ask, but I have to bring you with me."

He put the sword across Ning Cheng's neck, and said, "If you are really an enemy spy, how can I let you go?"

"My lord, are you worrying too much? I'm not a suspicious person, but just a mere servant, so don't worry about it."

Ling You narrowed his eyes, and said: "As an "ordinary officer", once you come, you know the name of the military envoy.Second, wear the same umbrella bell as Chiyun.Thirdly, not only did they try to follow the envoy, but they also responded vaguely.So, isn't it suspicious? "

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable, but respect is worse than obedience."

Ning Cheng stared at the bright sword stuck on his neck, and could only agree.

Seeing that Ning Cheng agreed, Ling You withdrew his sword and said, "If that's the case, follow me back to the palace. If you want to escape, I won't be polite to you again."

... How dare I run away, don't be so suspicious, okay?

Ning Cheng sighed, and asked, "My lord, did you just walk away just to lure me to follow?"

Ling You nodded: "You are not too stupid to think of this."

Ning Cheng was speechless for a moment.

Ling You tapped Ning Cheng on the shoulder with the hilt of his sword, signaling him to go first.

So, under the thorny gaze from behind, Ning Cheng flew all the way back to Wangyun Palace.

After they landed in front of Wangyun Palace, Ling You took out a small wooden sign from his arms and pressed it forward.

After he took out the wooden sign, there was a burst of spell fluctuations at the gate of the palace, and then returned to calm.

"This is?" Ning Cheng was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

"This is the permit to enter the palace. You are on an errand in the Hall of Disobedience, how come you haven't seen it?"

Ling You looked at him with more suspicion.

Ning Cheng remembered that he was also chased and beaten by Yiming because of this incident, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly.He pointed to the silver bell on his waist and said:

"The umbrella bell in your mouth seems to be used as a pass."

Ning Cheng took a few steps forward, walked through the palace gate, and then turned around to look back.

"It's quite new."

Ling You followed into the palace.He lowered his eyes, looked at Ning Cheng's waist, and said, "Can you lend me a look at your umbrella bell?"

Ning Cheng didn't say much, just took off the silver bell and handed it to Ling You.After the latter took the silver bell, he held it in his hand and watched.

"You can't, it's just Chiyun?"

Ning Cheng laughed and said, "My lord, do I look like I have used the transformation spell?"

"Not like. But if..."

"What if?"

Ling You shook his head, and returned the silver bell to Ning Cheng.

"It's okay. I'll go back to Liyang Hall to see the Palace Master first, and you can come with me."

Ning Cheng nodded without any objection.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and soon walked to the front of Liyang Hall.However, when he saw the purple-gold palace again, Ning Cheng felt something was wrong.

Strange, does Liyang Palace look like this?And there seems to be something wrong with this position...

He was puzzled, but he followed Ling You up the long steps leading to the hall.

"Brother Ning, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice came from behind.Ning Cheng turned his head to look, and saw Feng Shu standing behind him, the hair on his shoulders was slightly disheveled, and he was still holding a silk umbrella in his hand.

"Fengshu..."

Ning Cheng felt relieved, he couldn't help shouting, and walked to Feng Shu's side.

Feng Shu looked him up and down, then turned his gaze to Ling You.The latter glanced at Ning Cheng, raised his hands and cupped his fists: "Feng Jue."

"You're back in the city, why didn't you notify me first?"

Ling You said: "It's hard to say."

He paused and asked, "Feng Juan, who is this?"

Feng Shu guarded Ning Cheng behind him, and said: "Brother Ning took office in the Hall of Disobedience, and currently lives in the Hall of Fengyue temporarily."

Ling You said, "Temporarily living in Fengyue Palace?"

Feng Shu said: "It's a long story. As soon as you came back, you were in a hurry to meet the Palace Master, but what happened to Eryi Kingdom?"

Ling You glanced at Ning Cheng, and said, "This is a long story. I'm going to report it to the Palace Master. If Feng Pan is curious, he can also enter the palace to listen together."

Feng Shu shook his head: "Feng has something important to do, so I won't let you in."

Ling You raised his hand and bowed: "Alright. I have something I want to ask Feng Pan for advice. I will go to Fengyue Palace to pay a visit after reporting to Palace Master Ming."

Feng Shu nodded: "Since that's the case, Feng will leave first."

He looked at the figure of Ling You stepping up the long steps, and said: "Brother Ning, you go back to Fengyue Palace and wait, I will look for you later."

Ning Cheng said: "Feng Shu, why did you return to the palace suddenly?"

Feng Shu patted him on the shoulder: "Sorry, I have something urgent, I will explain to you later."

With the clear ringing of the bell, Feng Shu opened the silver umbrella in his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What's the rush..."

Ning Cheng stood blankly in front of the Liyang Hall, not knowing what to do for a moment.

No, now that Feng Shu is not here, it is a good time to search for the Jiangpao doll!

Ning Cheng was a little excited, but just as he took a step, he hesitated and withdrew his foot.

No, Feng Shu is so cautious, how could he put the doll back in Fengyue Hall?Besides, I don't have to watch Xia Yun's memory for any reason!

Ning Cheng remembered the pain and despair he felt when he sank in the sea of ​​memory, and couldn't help shivering.

Otherwise, go to Zangshuge to find the relevant records of the Hualin murder case?

After he made up his mind, he headed towards Zangshu Pavilion.However, just after he took a few steps, he bumped into someone again.

"You, why are you wandering around the Liyang Hall?"

……very good.It seems that the next time I travel, I really have to look through the almanac.

Ning Cheng bowed to the visitor and said, "My lord, Yiming. I just passed by here by chance when I was going to Zangshu Pavilion."

Yiming's phoenix eyes raised upwards: "Passing by? Wu Jidian is going to Zangshu Pavilion, do you need to pass by here?"

Ning Cheng smiled apologetically: "I came with Master Ling You, you—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yiming: "Ling You? He's back?"

Ning Cheng said: "Yes. Master Ling You has just returned and is meeting the Palace Master in the Liyang Hall."

Hearing this, Yiming didn't say a word, just passed Ning Cheng and ran towards Liyang Hall.His speed was so fast that Ning Cheng only saw an afterimage flash by, causing a cloud of dust to fly.

"Why is everyone coming and going in such a hurry..."

Ning Cheng muttered, and waved his hand to sweep away the flying dust on his face.

After Yiming left, Ning Cheng was worried about bumping into someone again, so he turned into an unused path.

He arrived at Zangshu Pavilion smoothly, and after chanting a formula to call up a basket of books, he carefully flipped through them.

However, until dusk, Ning Cheng did not find any valuable clues.

It seems that the Hualin murder case is really beyond investigation, and there is no way to start.

After Ning Cheng put away the books one by one, he walked slowly back to Fengyue Hall while pressing his sore neck.As soon as he walked to the gate of the hall, he met Feng Shu face to face.

"Brother Ning, it's just in time for you to come back. I'm going to see Ling You, so you should come too."

Ok?

Ning Cheng was a little puzzled, and said, "Didn't Master Ling You say that he would come to visit?"

Feng Shu said: "I just received the news that Ling You was ordered to be grounded by the palace lord, I'm afraid he can't come as promised."

Ning Cheng wondered, "Foot grounding? Why?"

Feng Shu shook his head and said, "For details, you should ask me."

"Oh……"

Ning Cheng was a little confused, and was pulled forward by Feng Shu.

——No, although I am indeed a little curious, what does this have to do with me?

When Ning Cheng came to his senses, Feng Shu had already turned a few corners to the northernmost part of the palace.

There was a bird song from the sky, and then several black shadows passed by, but the birds had returned to their nests.

Ning Cheng stared at the open space in front of him, couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Feng Shu, where is it?"

Feng Shu said: "Brother Ning, I want to cast a spell to open the barrier, you should retreat behind me first."

He closed his eyes, and a ray of red light gathered at his fingertips.

Ning Cheng looked at Feng Shu's sleeves swaying lightly, and instantly pulled out a few red threads, which seemed to be a curse.

As the last ray of red light fell, the spell suddenly melted into the air and disappeared.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound ahead, and a large cloud of black smoke came out.Ning Cheng was startled, subconsciously leaned behind Feng Shu, and grabbed his sleeves tightly.

"Brother Ning, don't panic, this is just a necessary procedure to go to the Martial Palace."

Hearing this, Ning Cheng poked his head out from behind Feng Shu and looked forward.

The black smoke came and went quickly.After the black smoke dissipated, Ning Cheng saw a palace appear out of thin air in the open space ahead.

The palace was pitch black as a whole, as if it had been splashed with ink, almost blending into the night.

On the top of the hall, there is also a crystal stone embedded, the red glow looming under the moonlight, revealing an ominous atmosphere.

It wasn't until this moment that Ning Cheng discovered that the map Feng Shu had given him before did not contain the exact location of the Martial Hall.

However, this palace is clearly...

"Isn't this the Liyang Palace?"

The Liyang Hall in my memory is exactly the same as this hall except for the different paint color.

Ning Cheng looked at the "Wu Dian" in front of him.The staircase in front of the hall is faintly glowing with golden light—it is exactly where Xiayun was stabbed 300 years ago.

"Brother Ning, this is the Palace of Martial Arts. Didn't you just go to the Palace Master's Liyang Palace?" Seeing his strange expression, Feng Shu also asked with some doubts.

"I was so surprised that I misread it for a while, haha."

In the past 300 years, it is not uncommon for the halls in the palace to change.

Ning Cheng vaguely mentioned the matter, and then asked: "Feng Shu, why are the walls of this Martial Hall painted black? It looks so depressing."

Feng Shu said: "Before I entered the palace, the Martial Palace has always been like this."

He paused, and added: "Due to the trouble of getting in and out, and the remote location, most military envoys don't stay in the Martial Palace."

Also, who wants to live in this eerie house?However, the military envoy is on missions outside the city all year round, so there is really no need to stay in Wangyun Palace.

No, if Yi Ming is really the palace lord's secret guard, then he must stay in Wangyun Palace.Could it be that he settled down directly in the Liyang Palace so that he could personally protect the palace lord?

Feng Shu never knew what Ning Cheng was thinking.He took Ning Cheng's hand and said, "Let's go."

Ning Cheng blinked, and drove these messy thoughts out of his mind.He took a deep breath, and after getting ready to enter the yin house, he walked towards the dark palace ahead.
