Chapter 166: That look

Jimo Wuxuan reached out and grabbed a hand. Even though he felt something was wrong, he still just grabbed it and did not dare to let go easily. He held his breath to avoid inhaling the poisonous smoke.

This hand doesn't seem to be dancing like a butterfly.

But Diewu was sitting next to her, and he caught her as soon as the smoke came out. Unless she disappeared suddenly, there would be no mistake.

Jimo Wuming was not worried about Qian Diewu, thinking that it was enough for Jimo Wuxuan to protect her. She tried her best to hold her breath and waited for the smoke to dissipate. She kept cursing the emperor in her heart: This foolish king never manages a banquet well every time.

If you want to ask them for money, will you give it to them?

The thick smoke at the scene has not dissipated, and there will be banging sounds from time to time. The thick smoke is extremely choking, and after inhalation, it will make people cough continuously.

"Ahem..."

Jimo Wuxuan couldn't hear Qian Diewu's screams and thought she was stunned by the poisonous smoke. Because she had a body that was immune to all poisons, he didn't worry too much.

After a while, the thick smoke slowly dissipated, and all the people and things were faintly visible.

When the thick fog dissipated a little, Jimo Wuxuan immediately saw clearly the person he was holding. Only then did he realize that what he was holding was just a palace maid, and Qian Diewu had long disappeared, and even the chair she was sitting on was gone.

In a panic, he stood up suddenly, grabbed the palace maid's wrist, and shouted angrily: "How could it be you, Diewu?"

He obviously grabbed the people around him as quickly as possible, why did this happen? Did Diewu really disappear suddenly, and the person and the chair disappeared together, how did the other party do it?

Jimo Wuming also stood up, took a closer look at the palace maid in front of him, and found that it was the one who had just brought tea. He also asked sternly: "Tell me, where have you done my sister-in-law?"

The palace maid didn't answer, just smiled coldly, suddenly vomited black blood, and died.

Jimo Wuxuan was so angry that he threw the body of the palace maid aside, blaming everything on the emperor. He even suspected that the emperor had captured Qian Diewu, and asked angrily: "Your Majesty, don't tell me all this and

It has nothing to do with you. If you don’t hand him over as soon as possible, I will never be done with you.”

The emperor was so anxious that he didn't know what was going on. He hurriedly explained clearly, "This really has nothing to do with me. I am asking for help from you, so why would you do such a thing?"

"You are afraid that we won't give you money, so you treat someone as a human being. This is very possible." Jimo Wuming was also suspicious of the emperor.

Jimo Wuxuan didn't want to waste time talking, so he gave Jimo Wuming a hint and asked him to handle the next thing, while he went around to look for it.

No matter how good a person is in qinggong, he cannot go far in such a short period of time.

No one dared to stop Jimo Wuxuan and let him find him wherever he wanted. They didn't even dare to get close to him, because the murderous aura on his body was so strong that he was like a fireball and would be burned to death if touched.

Jimo Wuming stayed to deal with the mess and threatened the emperor to surrender, "Your Majesty, if you want Mo Castle to continue to provide you with taels of silver to refine elixirs every month, then hand over my sister-in-law as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a dead end for us.

No matter what."

"I have said that this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to arrest the eldest lady." The emperor was anxious and angry. He could not vent his anger on Jimo Wuming, so he had to pass it on to several princes and the leaders of the Imperial Guard. "

How come you are responsible for the security of the palace and actually let people light thick smoke in the imperial garden?"

All the princes bowed their heads, and no one dared to say anything. They seemed to be afraid that this matter would be blamed on them.

Under this situation, the commander of the Imperial Guard suffered a lot and could only kneel on the ground and wait for punishment.

Sure enough, the emperor couldn't punish his son directly, so he used the commander of the Imperial Guard to punish him. "Didn't you just say that no assassin would appear? How should you explain this?"

"This is a humble minister who has neglected his duty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Come here, pull him out and chop him down."

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is willing to perform meritorious service and recover the eldest lady, and please be kind to your Majesty." The leader of the Imperial Guard tried his best to survive, even if he knew that he could not guarantee the recovery of Qian Diewu, he still had to delay time. 13acv.

"Okay, I will give you this opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Jimo Wuming took advantage of the emperor's questioning of the commander of the imperial guards and looked at all the suspicious people at the scene. However, he was really unable to determine who did it. Maybe it had nothing to do with everyone here, or maybe the murderer was

One of them.

"Your Majesty, if something happens to my sister-in-law, you should know what the consequences will be."

"Don't worry, I will definitely order someone to find the eldest lady and send her back to Mo Castle safe and sound." The emperor could no longer bring up the matter of silver at this time, he just wanted to find Qian Diewu as soon as possible.

If he can't find this woman, he won't have the money to refine the elixir of life, so no matter what, he must find Qian Diewu.

At this time, Jimo Wuxuan had already searched around, but still couldn't find anyone. He was so anxious that he was running around, his heart full of fear, and he hurriedly issued an order, "Wu Ming, you immediately send someone back to Mo Castle to inform the three kings and let them know."

Sanjun will lead the people to search from here. Don’t miss every corner. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find me the people.”

"Brother, don't worry. The other party is trying so hard to catch my sister-in-law, and they must have ulterior motives. My sister-in-law's life will not be safe for the time being." Jimo Wuming saw Jimo Wuxuan in such a hurry, and was afraid that he would become anxious, so he comforted him.

.

Jimo Wuxuan was not in the mood to talk about this, so he urged: "There is no need to say more about this, let's take action immediately. I will continue to search in other places in the palace."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The two brothers ignored the emperor and other princes and only focused on looking for people, especially Jimo Wuxuan. They kept looking around the scene, paying attention to every move of the people present, thinking that the murderer was among them.

To be able to put poisonous smoke in the imperial garden and move people and chairs instantly without leaving a trace, this person must be very familiar with the palace and have a certain degree of power in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to do all this.

Who is it? The emperor, the prince, or something else?

No matter who it is, he must find Diewu back first and then pursue the case.

Jimo Wuxuan continued to search, except for looking for someone, and ignored everything else. He checked back and forth several times where Qian Diewu was sitting just now. He always felt that there was something wrong here, so he stepped on it a few times and looked carefully.

, I found that the soil along the edge of the floor tiles here was a little loose, and it looked like it had been dug up.

At this time, the guardian accompanying Mo Castle just arrived at the scene.

Mo Xuan just said no. "Dig this place up." Jimo Wuxuan stood up and asked people to dig up the ground. He used his own people instead of the palace guards. It could even be said that he didn't trust anyone in the palace.

No one stopped Jimo Wuxuan from doing this, not even the emperor said a word and let the people from Mo Castle dig the ground.

It didn't take long for several floors to be dug up, and there was a big pit underneath with passages in it.

"Why are there pits and passages in this imperial garden? Who did this?" Emperor Long Yan was furious and stared at the princes beside him, obviously doubting them.

In the palace, there are only a few people who can dig tunnels in the imperial garden without anyone noticing. Who else can do it besides these princes?

Not a single prince stood up to admit it, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

The emperor therefore directly blamed Xia Houran, "Prince, is this a good thing you did?"

Xia Houran knelt on the ground and explained anxiously: "Father, this is not what I did. I don't dare."

"Don't dare. Don't think that I don't know how many shameful things you have done in private. I just turned a blind eye. Prince, if the lady of Mo Castle cannot come back safely, I will depose you, Prince."

position. You go find someone right now, all of you."

"Yes, Father." Even though Xia Houran was very angry, he had no choice but to follow the order and find someone.

What happened at Shuiyue An had nothing to do with him, he was implicated, and what happened today had nothing to do with him, but he was still implicated, which is really disgusting.

Jimo Wuxuan only focused on looking for someone and ignored the emperor and other princes. He asked a nurse to jump into the pit to have a look. After a while, the nurse ran back from somewhere else.

Without waiting for the nursing home to report, Jimo Wuxuan had already asked anxiously: "Have you found the eldest lady?"

"Back to the Lord of the Great Castle, there was nothing in the tunnel except a chair. My subordinates kept searching along the tunnel, but they came out from another part of the imperial garden. At the exit, they found this."

Hand over the hairpin you picked up.

Jimo Wuxuan hurriedly took the hairpin and recognized it at a glance as Qian Diewu's hairpin. He was very sure that Diewu had been kidnapped.

"Take me to the exit right away to see."

"yes."

The nurse leads the way.

Jimo Wuxuan just took a step forward and wanted to follow, but he turned around slightly and said harsh words to the emperor, "If anything happens to her, I will never let anyone go."

Such harsh words made the emperor's heart tremble and he trembled all over. At this moment, all the dragon power he had in the past was gone. He was very afraid that Jimo Wuxuan would suddenly rush over and kill him.

He wants to live forever, but he doesn't want to die like this. As long as he can live forever, everything else doesn't matter.

After Jimo Wuxuan left, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost his balance and fell down. Fortunately, the eunuch on the side supported him and said, "Your Majesty, be careful."

"That look is so scary. Where have I seen it before?" The emperor recalled Jimo Wuxuan's sharp look just now, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar it became.

Where has he seen this look before?

The eunuch kept supporting the emperor, comforting him, "The emperor was just frightened, that's why he thought too much, slave. Please help the emperor go back to rest right now."

"Wait... don't make any noise, I seem to have thought of it." The emperor was still thinking about that look in his eyes, but the memory just flashed by. Not only was it dim, but it was also very blurry, but he could clearly remember that look in his eyes and Jimo Wuxuan's.

The look in his eyes just now was almost exactly the same, but he just couldn't remember who this person was?
