In the Eastern Depot in Jing City, a guard strode into the main hall, saluting in front of the table.

"Lord, I have led people in searching and checking the rear mountain of Yonglu Temple. The scene has already been cleaned up by someone."

Yue Xilou leaned and sat on the chair. When his low eyes slightly trembled, he fiddled with two irony balls in his palm.

"So, there must be a survival among the assassins last night... Presumably, they have made it."

At that time, another guard walked into the hall. He even had no mind to wipe his drenched forehead but directly saluted and reported.

"Lord, the Ninth Prince Huanan He hasn't come back to his mansion."

"..."

Yue Xilou appeared to be astonished and widened the casual eyes, in which there was full of clear and complicated emotion.

When he slowly stood up and walked with his hands held on the back, he suddenly sighed.

"Of course, I have made a correct presumption. Lady Yun and the Ninth Prince were still in touch with each other. They just act in His Majesty's presence! But the two people were eventually a short-lived couple, as they should be beaten by the silly woman, Shi Yuanqing."

Two guards raised their fists to salute and simultaneously said.

"Lord, what's your next step? I am willing to undertake it fearlessly! I will never regret it!"

"Tomorrow His Majesty will go to Yonglu Temple and pray. Before that, you take more guards to Yonglu Temple and carefully comb it. You must find some clues in the rear mountain."

Then he stopped saying. As his blue embroidered robe was fiercely flapped, Yue Xilou turned around and raised his clenched right hand, sneering and adding.

"The old guy, Counselor-in-chief Shi, is always against me. Only if I beat him can the cabinet be commanded by people in the Eastern Depot!"

The two guards seemed to be bewitched in faithful eyes, saying simultaneously.

"You are so smart! We will never let you down."

"And there is another thing." Yue Xilou put the irony balls on the table as his eyes gloomily blinked.

"I know the Ninth Prince has a twin brother, who once appeared in Kunhuang Island of Wei Sea. You should try to find where he is now!"

"Yes."

...

In the Imperial Ceremony Office of the Palace, it was time to be on duty. Bingbi Leshuang tied up his garment and steadily walked to the porch.

When he was on the way to the Shelves Library, he came across one eunuch.

The eunuch was about 13 or 14 years old. He appeared delicate and pretty and seemed to be serious in his look.

When he stopped in front of Leshuang, he lowered his head and quietly said three words.

"Something was wrong."

Leshuang clearly knew the eunuch, so he immediately looked around with his sharp eyes.

It was quiet and empty in the yard. Then Leshuang was relaxed.

As he slightly turned around, the eunuch walked close to him and whispered to him.

Leshuang seriously listened when his calm look gradually turned to be nervous.

When the eunuch finished saying words, Leshuang straightened his back. There was unprecedented nervousness in his eyes. As his eyes blankly turned, he muttered.

"How could the thing happen...? There could be something wrong, and I must go out of the Palace now."

"Bingbi!"

The eunuch was nervous, anxiously grasping his sleeve.

"It is too dangerous! Your identity might be exposed!"

Leshuang was stunned, but then he firmly plucked away the eunuch's hand, appearing cold and serious.

"I was appointed to lurk in the Palace, just in order to watch out for those people in case of accidents. Now the Ninth Prince meets something troublesome, so we shouldn't abandon our task."

...

Gu Yunxi and Huanan He were awakened by floods of disorder jolts, and then they found themselves in a running carriage.

Huanan He quickly turned around and got up, plucking the curtain away. It had already been dark now.

He overlooked, seeing lush grasses and trees. In the moonlight, dark and blue mountains scratched to the horizon.

He seemed to be somewhat familiar with the place.

When Huanan He saw one young man in a Kungfu suit riding one horse on one side of the carriage, his eyes turned to be serious. When he wanted to attack him, the man anxiously shouted.

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious! I am the servant of Master and ordered to send you and Her Grace to Jinmen. Then we will take a boat to Ying State. At that time, members of Tianyan Faction will help you temporarily settle down."

"What?"

Huanan He was blank and casually asked him.

"Where are we now?"

"It is two hours to the dawn. Tomorrow noon we can arrive at the Jinmen Ferry. For our safety, we are not going on mountain trails now."

The man looked at the front and quickly answered.

Huanan He blankly went back to the carriage. Then he and Gu Yunxi confusedly looked at each other in their eyes.

They quickly remembered when they secretly went back to another meditation room in Yonglu Temple and respectively ate one bowl of porridge, they were quickly unconscious.

Through the illustration of the strange man riding the horse, Huanan He quickly understood. It was his twin brother Huanan Xian, Gu Di, that added knockout drops to their foods.

Gu Di was a member of Tianyan Faction, the 13th commander Hong Zun's apprentice, which was a secret clearly known by Huanan He.

But why did Gu Di make them unconscious and secretly send them to the country across the ocean?

Could it be that...?

Gu Yunxi was suddenly nervous, fiercely grasping Huanan He's hands and anxiously saying.

"Darling, it is wrong. Brother Xian must want to take a risk! Stop! Be quick to stop!"

Through the window, they could hear the man calmly responding.

"Please forgive me, but Master has already ordered that I will never stop until we arrive at the Jinmen Ferry."

"You..."

Gu Yunxi anxiously gritted, though she knew the man was for her and Huanan He's sake.

But it was an emergency, so she couldn't consider too many things.

She pushed in front of the window, plucking away the curtain and shouting.

"D*mned servant! You even haven't asked why I order to stop! I want to toilet!"

The man blankly turned around as a flicker of suspicion occurred in his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

At that time, Gu Yunxi shouted and continued to scold.

"Before getting on the carriage, I ate two bowls of porridge! Being jolted by you along the way, my stomach has already been shocked! Quick to stop!"

The man was speechless and could only order the carter.

"Stop! Quickly stop!"

Sitting in the carriage, Huanan He held his forehead and laughed with his mouth covered. His whole face was almost to cramp.

The instant when the carriage stopped, Huanan He jumped out. As he held his arms, the man was pulled down from the horse.

"Your Highness, I am really the servant of Master!"

The man thought Huanan He and Gu Yunxi didn't believe him. As he kneeled on the ground, he raised his fists to salute and explained, appearing anxious and nervous.

Huanan He sneered.

"I haven't suspected you. If you were a villain, when I attacked you, you would have fought back me."

Gu Yunxi jumped out of the carriage and walked to Huanan He, staring at the man who kneeled on the ground and was in a black garment with her clear eyes as brilliant as the starry night.

"Get up. We just want to know one thing. What's Brother Xian’s plan?"

"Well..."

The man lowered his head and frowned, being hesitant.

"Say or not!"

Huanan He was already impatient. As he waved hands, the sword on the man's waist was drawn. Then a flicker of silver light flashed in the air.

The man just felt a sense of coldness in his neck, and then a depressing tension touched his throat.

Huanan He said in a cold voice, "You say or not?"

The man directly straightened his neck, leaning and shouting.

"Okay, you just kill me! I prefer to be killed rather than say it!"

"I think Brother Xian should want to send us to live a steady life while he chooses to take risks alone, fighting against Huanan Xin."

In front of him, Gu Yunxi sadly said and appeared anxious.

Huanan He was astonished in his eyes, and then the hand holding the sword suddenly became weak. He slowly moved the cold and sharp blade from the man's throat.

After a while, he lowered his head and quietly said.

"No, it's my blame. I shouldn't let my brother take my duty."

"You are right." Gu Yunxi raised her head and looked at Huanan He as a flicker of brilliant light burned in her eyes.

"Darling, we can't let Brother Xian take risks alone. Previously, we had made something wrong and indirectly hurt some people. Since that, we shouldn't make mistakes anymore, and we should also not let anyone be harmed."

Huanan He nodded and agreed with her, firmly saying.

"Yunxi, you get on the carriage. We come back!"

"Wait!" The man kneeled and moved close to them, being anxious in red eyes and saying in a hoarse voice.

"I beg you. Don't go back to Jing City! Master has ordered that I must escort you to Ying State. Otherwise, I will commit suicide in his presence."

Gu Yunxi couldn't refrain herself anymore, directly scolding him.

"You the great man seemed to be brave and individual! But why do you just be obedient to your master?"

"Do you know Huanan Xin is not only strong in Kungfu, but he is also guarded by Yue Xilou and many people of Honour Guards and Imperial Guards?"

"Previously, many affairs of folk rebellion and assassins were not only failed but also caused many sacrificed lives."

"If you haven't made an overall plan, once Brother Xian fails, there will be more ignorant people in trouble. If you can't understand that, just commit suicide. Anyhow, when there are many ignorant people being killed, you are just one of them!"

"..."

The man was scolded and couldn't raise his head. He was blushed, saying nothing and ceaselessly lowering his head.

On the side, Huanan He slightly pulled the sleeve of Gu Yunxi, mildly shaking his head to her and gesturing her to be gentler.

After a while, the man stood up. He directly walked in front of the carriage and opened the door.

"Thanks for your words, Your Grace. You have made me sensible. Please quickly get on the carriage, and I will bring you to meet Master."
