277: A strange coincidence

Half an hour later, in Tiandou City.The city gates were opened and countless soldiers poured into the streets.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the entire city be under martial law, and no one is allowed to go out on the streets!"

Around Yuexuan, the sounds of neat and tight footsteps were heard, followed by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?!" The door of Yuexuan was opened and the guard looked displeased.

"Search!" He received only one word in answer, and behind him, the Royal Knights were lined up neatly and marched in one after another.

"Anyone who resists the search will be killed!" After saying this, the guard dared not move.

In the room above, another guard tapped the side of the bed.

In the backyard, Tang Yuehua was suddenly awakened by the bell beside the bed, and her face changed instantly.

Without giving it any time to think, he picked up a robe from the bedside and put it on, then quickly ran out of the bedroom and into the corridor.

"Xiao San." Knock on Tang San's door.

Tang San was awakened instantly, and quickly got up and walked forward to open the door.

"It's an emergency, follow me." Tang Yuehua said, turned around and ran back to the bedroom.

Although he was confused, Tang San quickly followed.

Then Tang Yuehua quickly walked to the wardrobe beside the bed, reached out to open the wardrobe, and kicked lightly in the dark corner inside.

With a creaking and crisp rolling sound, the entire wardrobe began to move, revealing a one-meter-wide tunnel on the ground.

"Hurry, go in." Tang Yuehua said hurriedly.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Xiaosan, you should go out of the city through the secret passage first, find out the situation, and come back after a while. Now you have not met my requirements, so I cannot give you the map. Time is urgent, hurry up!"

"Aunt, can you tell me what the conditions are for going to that place?" Tang San took the opportunity to ask while quickly getting into the tunnel.

"Powerful strength, mental power, and absolute rationality." As she said that, Tang Yuehua quickly pulled over the wardrobe and sealed the tunnel.

Then he quickly ran out of the bedroom, ran into Tang San's bedroom, put all the relevant items into the soul guide, and quickly made the bed.

The courtyard where she lived was designed and built by a special person. It had excellent sound insulation and an early warning device was installed outside. Only the sound outside could be heard from inside, and the sound inside could not be heard from outside at all. Everything was just to prevent any unexpected events. She came to Tiandou City alone to build and manage Yuexuan, to raise funds and materials for the sect, and to help the sect to gather information. Naturally, she was fully prepared.

Soon, the ground shook slightly.

Tang San, who had been staying in the tunnel to observe for a while, suddenly changed his expression. He turned around and walked forward without hesitation, quickly clearing all traces along the way.

Knock knock knock, there's a knock on the door.

"You're so polite!"

Dugu Bo dropped Yang Yunhai from the air, kicked the door open, and strode into the living room.

"Who!" Tang Yuehua, who had already run back to her bedroom and lay down, immediately reacted with alarm.

"Go search other rooms." Dugu Bo said as he took Yang Yunhai towards Tang Yuehua's bedroom.

"Yes!" The Royal Knights behind him filed in and ran to other rooms.

There was a golden glow in Yang Yunhai's eyes as he glanced around.

Although his eyes have the ability to see through, they can't see through solid stone layers, especially those with metal plates. It is obvious that Tang Yuehua's house is carefully designed. If Tang San's presence is not sensed in other places, it can only be this courtyard.

I couldn't see through it from the outside, nor could I sense it, so I had no choice but to come in and check.

With a creak, Tang Yuehua, who was only wearing a robe, opened the door and saw the tall Dugu Bo, with his right hand stained red. On the other side was Yang Yunhai, who had a cold expression and blood on his left sleeve.

His heart skipped a beat, and he bowed slightly, "I wonder why His Majesty Dugu is visiting you so late at night?"

"You should ask your second brother Tang Hao about this." Dugu Bo said coldly, "He wore a human skin mask and sneaked into my residence in broad daylight, hid in an empty room, and then sneaked out in the early hours of the morning."

"What do you think he wants to do?"

Tang Yuehua's heart suddenly tightened, but she frowned, "Your Majesty, are you joking?"

She didn't think Dugu Bo could keep her second brother.

"Are you kidding?" Dugu Bo sneered, and with a flick of his hand, Tang Hao's body immediately fell to the ground, "Look who this is!"

Tang Yuehua subconsciously lowered her head, her pupils shrank. Although her body was covered in blood and her skull was broken, her facial features were clear after being washed by clean water.

There is no doubt that this is none other than his second brother Tang Hao, whose soul bones were dug out and whose chest was pierced by the hands of Dugu Bo and Yang Yunhai.

She couldn't help but scream, "Second brother!" and then her body trembled and collapsed, tears streaming down her face.

Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, Dugu Bo spread out his hands and grabbed it. The corpse suddenly rose up and then disappeared, and a sneer was heard.

"It seems I didn't recognize the wrong person."

"Give it back to me, give my second brother back to me!" Tang Yuehua broke down emotionally and raised her head quickly.

"Someone, come here, this woman is sheltering a wanted criminal of the empire, capture her and interrogate her." Dugu Bo shouted immediately.

Tang Yuehua finally came to her senses and pleaded, "Your Majesty Dugu, although Tang Hao has long since left the sect, he is still my second brother with the same blood. I don't know why he attacked you, but it was indeed wrong of him."

"Your Majesty, he is dead now after all."

"No matter how big a mistake he made before his death, the dead are gone, and you have already obtained the only valuable soul bone in his body. Please be merciful and hand over his body to me so that I can bury him properly, which will also be considered as fulfilling this blood relationship."

The knights who had already approached looked at the beauty in front of them, with a trace of pity in their eyes. They stood quietly in place, waiting for instructions.

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "If you want the body, go to Caishikou tomorrow to get it yourself."

What a vicious mind, even if she died, she would ruin the reputation of her second brother and the reputation of Haotian Sect, and lure the mistress to show up. Tang Yuehua bit her teeth until they bled, but she had to endure it. If this matter implicated the sect, the consequences would not be what she wanted to see.

She had no doubt that as long as she could find evidence, Dugu Bo would definitely attack the Haotian Sect. For example, he would poison the sect and force the members to leave the sect. By then, he would be actively violating the original agreement with the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall could take the opportunity to wipe out the Haotian Sect in one fell swoop.

Dugu Bo could definitely think of such a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"Your Majesty." He immediately suppressed the pain in his heart and tried to negotiate again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"There is a secret passage." Yang Yunhai, his eyes constantly scanning the bedroom, suddenly spoke and strode in.

"You keep an eye on her." Dugu Bo hurriedly followed in.

Xiaosan, you can't stay in the tunnel. Tang Yuehua turned around quickly.

How did Yang Yunhai find out? He couldn't help but wonder.

Then Yang Yunhai walked quickly to the closet and looked down, "Under this closet."

Although he couldn't see through the thick wall, he could still see some of the outlines of the surface at such a close distance.

Dugu Bo raised his foot and stepped on the ground, which immediately collapsed. The wardrobe broke into pieces, revealing a dark hole at the bottom.

Without any hesitation, Yang Yunhai and Dugu Bo jumped down one after another and ran towards the depths.

"It's a sewer." After a while, looking at the dim passage in front of them, the two instantly realized that this was Yuexuan's sewer for drainage. It was just specially modified. Compared with ordinary town sewers, it was obviously wider, and there was a stone paved aisle next to it.

Without thinking too much, the two continued to go deeper.

After a while, we passed a fork in the road and arrived at the drainage outlet outside Tiandou City.

Looking around, the moonlight was shining, the surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and there was a fishy smell in the air.

"Swoosh, swoosh." The two men flew up a slope and looked around.

The next second, Yang Yunhai closed his eyes and activated the blue silver grass's perception ability, but he found nothing.

"Nothing." He opened his eyes and sighed.

"The footprints in the passage have obviously been cleared away. Even your Blue Silver Grass sensing ability cannot detect them. I think they deliberately avoided the jungle bushes. This Tang San is really cunning." Dugu Bo frowned, "With the evidence we have now, I'm afraid it's not enough to offend Tang Yuehua."

"I hope we can gain something at Caishikou tomorrow." Yang Yunhai said helplessly, "I just found an early warning device in Tang Yuehua's bedroom. I think it was discovered when the Royal Knights entered the room."

"If I had known earlier, I would have just broken into Tang Yuehua's courtyard." Dugu Bo looked annoyed.

Yang Yunhai shook his head slightly, "Tang San has changed his appearance, and it is possible that he is hiding somewhere else in Yuexuan, disguised as a guard, a student, or even a groom. The main reason for our failure this time is that we did not collect enough information and did not know enough about the internal situation of Yuexuan."

He originally wanted to look down at the entire Yuexuan from the sky, and use his perspective ability to see if he could find any suspicious traces, or find suspicious people during the Royal Knights' search of Yuexuan. He didn't expect that he would miss the opportunity because of this. He did think about the secret passage, but Yuexuan covers a large area. As a place for nobles to learn etiquette, it was built like a back garden, with small bridges, flowing water, and fake rocks. It is really impossible to determine where the secret passage is specifically arranged, and it is unknown what identity Tang San lives in.

He didn't expect Tang Yuehua to be placed right beside him.

This time, the cleverness backfired and they were fooled by this straight shot.

"Well, let's go back first." Dugu Bo was also helpless.

"Yeah." Yang Yunhai nodded, and the two returned to the secret passage and returned the same way.

On the other side, Tang San stopped downstream of the waterway, feeling angry at his embarrassing escape, but secretly feeling lucky at the same time.

Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, he should have lived with other guards.

It was just that he had just entered Yuexuan, and his aunt wanted to explain the internal situation of Yuexuan to him, explain some things to him, and teach him some basic etiquette to prevent him from exposing himself due to details in his daily life in Yuexuan in the future. That's why he, the new night shift, was allowed to stay overnight in the small courtyard where his aunt lived and receive instruction.

Of course, he also understood that there was another reason, which was that his aunt wanted to talk more about his past experiences with this nephew who suddenly appeared. During this period, Aunt Yuehua asked him a lot about his father's experiences over the years and some things about his time in the academy.

He could see that his aunt had been managing Yuexuan alone for so many years and felt lonely. Therefore, she took extra care of him as a relative.

It was also unexpected that he would stay overnight in his aunt's courtyard because of these reasons, and escape by accident.

Perhaps, God couldn't stand what Yang Yunhai had done to me, and wanted me to kill him one day! And I will definitely do it!

Yang Yunhai, Dugu Bo, you guys just wait!

"Let's find a place to rest first, and then go back to Tiandou City to investigate tomorrow." Thinking this, he turned around and left.
