    When the steward saw this, his hands shook with fright. He ignored the face of the guard beside him and said hurriedly: "Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings! How dare you guys delay the investigation of the case by the generals. Our elder brother of the guard has a somewhat reckless temper and speaks  I don't like it, but I don't dare to interfere with official duties. Our Lord has always understood the principles of justice and will never harbor bandits. Generals, please don't argue with us and please come in quickly." He opened the door cautiously.  Please invite Lin Xiao and others inside.

    Lin Xiao glanced at the dark-faced guard commander, crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back, stood in the courtyard, and quickly looked around, "Search¡ª¡ª".

    The guards immediately dispersed silently and went straight to each courtyard.

    The steward stood aside uneasily for a while, then stepped forward and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to stop you from catching the prisoner, but the Marquis is not in the house right now, and our young lady has always been timid and weak, can you invite the Crown Prince?"  Search elsewhere first, and then search the inner courtyard after the Marquis returns?"

    Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear to his words. Chang Rong glanced at Lin Xiao's face and sighed secretly. The little Taoist nun disappeared for no reason. Although the prince's face didn't show it, he didn't know how to torture him in his heart. The steward didn't know how to ask for advice and bargaining.

    Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise from the hanging flower door. A group of servant women came out holding lanterns and embracing a very beautiful and delicate young lady.

    Qin Yuan seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep, her eyes were still a little dazed. When she saw Lin Xiao and others, she was suddenly startled and her sleepiness completely receded.

    "W-what are you going to do?" Qin Yuan's voice couldn't help but tremble, and she clung to the wet nurse's hand in fear.

    Lin Xiao looked at her as if she was nothing, put his hand on the sword at his waist, walked past Qin Yuan, and told Chang Rong: "Search the inner courtyard carefully."

    "Stop!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind.

    Hearing this voice, everyone looked back and saw Qin Zheng walking towards him with an angry look on his face.

    Qin Yuan seemed to have a backbone in an instant, and ran to Qin Zheng with tears in her eyes: "Dad¡ª¡ª"

    Qin Zheng held Qin Yuan in his arms, stroked her hair and whispered a few words of comfort. After a moment, he looked up at Lin Xiao coldly and said, "I wonder why the prince brought people into my house late at night?"

    Lin Xiao looked at Qin Zheng with cold eyes and said calmly: "The important criminal in the DPRK who I have been hunting for these days sneaked into the Jinghai Marquis Mansion. In order to prevent the prisoner from escaping, I had to conduct a door-to-door search."

    It was a high-sounding reason, not to mention that the other party obviously intended to use force to suppress others. Qin Zheng's expression changed several times. After a while, Fang gritted his teeth and said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, I will take care of your prisoner. It's just that I have always been timid and can't see you."  I have to take her away from such a scene, and you can conduct your own inspections."

    Without waiting for Lin Xiao to answer, he took Qin Yuan aside with a cold face, seemingly heading to the flower hall.

    Chang Rong and others no longer had any scruples, and drove straight in, heading straight to the backyard and other places.

    Half an hour passed.

    "Your Majesty, we have searched every corner, but there is no trace of Miss Qu." Chang Rong led the people to return in a low voice, his face extremely ugly.

    Lin Xiao didn¡¯t seem surprised and said in a cold voice: ¡°Guard the front door and several side doors. No one is allowed in or out tonight.¡±

    He asked again: "Wei Bo has been here for a long time, why hasn't he found Qing Xuzi yet?"

    Chang Rong was about to answer when Wei Bo hurried in with Qing Xuzi and A Han, "Your Majesty, the two Taoist priests are here."

    Qingxuzi seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden, his face was extremely gloomy. After he came in, he looked around with anger, then strode towards Lin Xiao and asked urgently: "Ayao disappeared here?  "

    He didn¡¯t have the time to investigate why Lin Xiao knew Qin Yao had an accident in the first place. He just wanted to find Qin Yao as soon as possible to confirm that she was safe and sound.

    Ahan followed closely behind Qingxuzi, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

    Lin Xiao saw the expressions of the two of them, and the indifference on his face suddenly softened a lot. He stepped forward and said, "Taoist Master, Senior Brother Ahan, Ayao has been missing for an hour now. Do you know why Qinyao is here late at night?"  Come here for inspection? But for those cases in Pingkangfang?"

    Ahan nodded vigorously and said with a nasal voice: "Ayao went out for a banquet a few days ago. When she came back, she suspected that the murderer of the case lived near Shuangyan Lane. Every time she patrolled the night, she would always go around here.  "

    Qing Xuzi looked at the scene in the mansion with a sullen face, and said, "A Yao always has rules and regulations for his actions, and he will never come here to investigate for no reason."

    After thinking for a while, he told Ahan: "Bring out the compass and let me see."

    Ahan did as he was told and took out something from his arms. Lin Xiao saw that it was a round compass the size of a palm, with some Taoist talismans imprinted on it, and a thin iron needle in the middle that did not move at all.

    Qingxuzi took the compass in his hand and tried it around, his face"She's probably in the tunnel. I'll go down to find her right now."  "

    Chang Rong was about to speak out to stop him, but Lin Xiao said coldly: "Wait here, don't say anything more."

    After saying that, he tied the hem of his snow-blue robe around his waist, held his sword, and went down the wall ladder to the tunnel.

    Qing Xuzi watched Lin Xiao¡¯s figure disappear into the tunnel with complicated eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then got off the tunnel.

    Ahan followed closely behind.

    Lin Xiao walked down the wall ladder for half a column before descending into the tunnel. He thought that the tunnel was cramped and he had to bend down to move forward, but he didn't expect that the tunnel was as tall as a person and was very spacious.

    Lin Xiao groped around on the wall and saw that there were no other paths, only one road ahead.  It leads to an unknown place, so I have no choice but to continue walking along this road.

    Just after taking two steps, there seemed to be some light in front of me, and the further we walked, the brighter it became. It seemed that there was something illuminated not far away.

    Lin Xiao walked slowly, paying attention to the movements around him as he walked, to guard against changes.

    After a while, he suddenly saw a corner appearing a few steps away from him. There was a candle on the ground against the wall. It cast a skewed shadow on the wall. The light in the tunnel came from this candle.  come out.

    Lin Xiao paused in his steps and drew out his sword on guard.  Just as they were about to hold their breath and walk toward the candle, they suddenly saw a petite figure coming out of the corner on the right. The two of them were startled at the same time. The man's face was hidden in the dim shadow of the candle, but his figure was very familiar.

    Lin Xiao¡¯s heart beat violently when he heard the man lower his voice: ¡°Hey, Crown Prince, how could it be you?¡±

    When Lin Xiao heard this heavenly sound, his mind was shaken. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the candle wick suddenly made a subtle "porcelain¡ª¡ª" sound and went out.

    In the darkness, a pair of soft little hands covered his mouth and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't make any noise yet. This place is close to the tunnel exit. There is a big evil thing outside."
