Chapter 89 Danger amidst danger leads the snake out of its hole ([-])
"Lingxi, you little rabbit-" Ye Xing was interrupted by Ye Lingxi before he could finish his words, "No, this is what my elder brother gave me, I can't give it away." Seeing Ye Lingxi's aggrieved look, Ye Xingye apologized quickly.Ye Lingxi didn't really want to embarrass her third brother, she just wanted to use Ye Xingye to coax him with a word or two.

"If Third Brother wants to give this as a gift, why not ask Big Brother to teach you how to carve a bunny."

Ye Xingye hesitated and said, "The eldest brother is recuperating from illness. Wouldn't it be bad if I disturb him?"

"Then I'll go ask Third Brother first." Ye Lingxi said.

Ye Xingye nodded, his inner gratitude could not be expressed in words and could only be conveyed through his eyes.

After dinner, Ye Lingxi came to Changle Palace. After entering, she saw her eldest brother sitting on a recliner as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed. She walked over quietly.When she approached, Ye Qingran opened her eyes, looked towards Ye Lingxi, and then moved to the pale sky in the distance.Ye Lingxi walked up to him and looked at the sky with him. After a while, he knelt down to look again, holding his little face in his hands, looking at the sky and then turning to look at the people on the recliner.After a while, Xiao Quanzi brought a small stool for Ye Lingxi to sit on, so as not to numb her legs from squatting and fall when she stood up.

"Today I showed the third brother the little rabbit that the elder brother carved. The third brother liked it very much and wanted to carve a little rabbit to give away. Can the elder brother teach the third brother how to carve a bunny?"

Ye Lingxi held her little face and looked at Ye Qingran motionlessly. In her unblinking gaze, Ye Qingran spoke.

"Come over tomorrow after dinner."

Ye Lingxi happily agreed, then sat on the small stool and continued to hold her little face in her hands and look at the blue sky that was as clear and transparent as lake water.

When it got dark, an inconspicuous carriage stopped outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Then Yan Jiang led a doctor inside. The prisoner he wanted to see was imprisoned in the innermost cell. There were two dragon figures at the door of the cell. Guards guarded, and there was also a dragon shadow guard watching inside.The Dragon Shadow Guards are directly at the disposal of the emperor. On weekdays, the Imperial Guards guard the imperial city in the open, while the Dragon Shadow Guards perform tasks in secret.

The people in the cell were tied to pillars with iron chains, and their mouths were gagged to prevent them from biting their tongues. There were dried blood clots on their night clothes in several places, and the color looked darker.

The man in black tied to the pillar was one of those killers. He was captured by the guards of the Xiao Mansion and attempted to commit suicide by taking poison. He was stopped by the guards of the Xiao Mansion in time. He was then secretly escorted back to the capital by Yanjiang and tortured. Zhongcai discovered that this man was mute and illiterate. Later, Yanjiang found a doctor to check his voice. After the doctor's diagnosis, he learned that the man had taken mute medicine a long time ago and was unable to speak. In order to ask questions from the man's mouth, As the mastermind behind the scenes, Yanjiang would secretly bring the doctor to treat his throat after dark for the past two days.

After a Longying guard opened the cell door, Yanjiang led the doctor in.About half an hour later, Yanjiang and the doctor walked out of the prison door of the Criminal Department.Tonight is the waning moon, and a slender crescent moon hangs in the dark night sky, like a thin and sharp scimitar, emitting a deserted light.

A dark cloud floated over, just covering the head of the watchman. He looked up and saw a black shadow flashing past his eyes. He didn't see what it was, but he was startled. The next moment, he heard something from the corner again. Cats meowed from everywhere, which seemed particularly sad in this dim night, creating a tense and gloomy atmosphere for no reason. The night watcher felt a chill behind his back, quickly gathered his collar, and left quickly. here.

A bit of cold wind blew in from nowhere, causing the torches on both sides to sway a few times. The dim light wrapped around the person's face like gauze, making the already stiff face even more numb.

A jailer held a lantern and illuminated the cells on the left and right. When the light came over, the people huddled in the corner squeezed in again, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.

When the jailer was about to reach the innermost cell, a dragon shadow guard guarding the door stopped him. When the jailer turned around, he suddenly threw out a hidden weapon in his hand, and the two dragon shadow guards guarding the outside had no time to prepare. He clutched his throat and fell to the ground. The Dragon Shadow Guard who was guarding inside immediately drew out his sword to defend himself. The next moment, the jailer's figure flashed in, and a hidden weapon hit the killer tied to the pillar. With a clang, the hidden weapon It hit the sword of Long Shadow Guard. During the fight between the two sides, a hidden weapon extinguished the torch. A cold light flashed in the dark, and a dagger quickly slit the killer's throat. Two figures one after the other emerged from the dusk like ghosts. The light passed by, and those huddled in the corner parted a strand of their dirty hair to secretly look at the two chasing figures. The bright sword light reflected on the iron railings of the cell from time to time, looking particularly strange. Dazzling.

"Kill someone! Kill someone!......"

The prisoner in one of the cells was accidentally blinded by the sword light, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs as if he had been stimulated by something. The jumping and jumping movement soon attracted other guards. Seeing someone blocking the way ahead, The jailer who was being chased threw two thunderbolts, and only two crackling sounds were heard. Smoke suddenly filled the air, irritating people so much that they could not open their eyes. There was a commotion. After the smoke cleared, the jailer who came to support came to support. He reluctantly opened his eyes, but he had already run away.

Two black shadows jumped up to the roof, and soon two more black shadows jumped up from the ground. The three dragon shadow guards worked together to chase the jailer in front. The four figures jumped up and down on the roof for about half an hour, and the jailer suddenly jumped in. In a narrow alley, three Long Shadow Guards also pursued him.When they were nearing the end of the alley, the jailer suddenly turned around and jumped into a house on the right. The three of them jumped in too. As soon as they landed, they saw the jailer rushing to the well and jumping in. The three of them immediately surrounded the well. .

The house was not big. There was only a well in the courtyard, and there were no other decorations. The door was not locked. Yanjiang pushed it open with his hand. When he walked in with the other two Long Shadow Guards, the door in front of him was A figure walked past the main room, and Yan Jiang rushed over with two Long Shadow Guards. After rushing into the room, Yan Jiang felt something was wrong. A cold light flashed into his eyes, and he found that there was a side in front of him. In the mirror, a dragon shadow guard accidentally touched a silk thread hidden in the darkness. Suddenly, the whole room rang with the sound of large and small bells. The sound seemed to be poured directly into people's brains, making people unable to think at all. Even plugging your ears with your hands doesn't work.

Hearing a strange bell ringing suddenly in the house, a Dragon Shadow Guard went over to check the situation. He heard Yan Jiang's voice shouting from inside, "Don't come in!" The Dragon Shadow Guard stopped and waited for the next instruction.
