Chapter 294: The long sword is unshewn


    Song Jin was having supper.


    I don’t know that when Qin Chi showed the portrait to Old Man Hong, the storm in the other party’s eyes.


    "Is this impossible?"


    Old Man Hong murmured, "Maybe it''s a bit like it."


    Qin Chi knew that he was probably thinking of someone, so he was not in a hurry to ask questions, and waited patiently for Old Man Hong to come back to his senses.


    Old Man Hong said cautiously: "This portrait reminds me of the former prince, but what I remember most is that his staff members are feasting in Jiangnan. Most literati and scholars like folding fans, which is that he holds a feather fan in his hand. The feather fan is still made of white crane feathers. The handle of the fan is carved with a Bagua diagram, which is called a white feather fan. I heard that he admired Zhuge Kongming from the Shu Han Dynasty very much since he was a child."


    "Former Prince?"


    Qin Chi was very shocked, "The emperor has only established one prince now. Now he still lives in the East Palace!"


    It does not exist in the former prince’s opinion!


    Old Man Hong explained: "Your Majesty is not the prince before he ascended the throne."


    Qin Chi knows this.


    Scholars all over the world may know it.


    There was a palace change on the night of the death of the late emperor.


    Historical records show that the former crown prince poisoned the late emperor and planned to usurp the throne. Emperor Ming Cheng and Prince Rui joined forces to save the emperor and shot the former crown prince who was plotting to rebel in the Palace of Taihe. After counting the time, it has been more than twenty years since the palace transformation.


    Qin Chi has seen this history in the Hanlin Academy.


    But history books are just written by winners, and it is difficult to tell the truth.


    Qin Chi looked at Old Man Hong and waited for him to speak.


    Old Man Hong was very secretive about the palace change back then, "Some things cannot be found out from my mouth. If the young master wants to know that he will meet the prince in the future, he can ask him personally."


    He was with Prince Rui back then.


    I can''t tell you that all the truth is still there, but the matter of the past has been banned.


    Qin Chi didn''t say anything when he saw him, and he didn''t force him.


    Old Man Hong said solemnly: "I will ask someone to continue investigating this matter, but there is one of the tea shops mentioned by the wife, the secret passage in Fengning Hutong, that seems to lead there."


    He took out a roll of paper from the secret compartment when he thought of anything.


    "This is the underground secret passage map of the investigation."


    Old Man Hong spread the rolled up paper, and the route above was like a spider web. Based on the entrance of the secret passage in Fengning Hutong, the secret passage map drawn was also well-connected. "We cannot alert the snake for the time being, so we explored a little slower."


    Actually, it''s not slow.


    In just a few days, several secret passages were found. One of them is the backyard leading to the tea shop.


    Qin Chi stared at the secret passage and his eyes flashed with a fierce look, "Will it be them who plotted against my wife last time?"


    Old Man Hong didn''t say anything.


    This is very obvious.


    "Will the former prince not die?" Qin Chi stared at the portrait again and asked.


    Old Man Hong shook his head, "The prince was killed before the palace transformation, and I was also at the scene. The man in the palace was very cautious. Not only did he let people find out his true self, but he also ordered people to cut off his head, eliminating the possibility of fake death."


    So many people were present at that time.


    Emperor Cheng of Ming not only asked one or two people to verify their true self.


    The imperial power changed, the same family fought against each other, and the brothers were killed. The winner is the king, and the loser dies, which is not a rare thing. Old Man Hong did not comment on this, and it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong.


    Qin Chi suddenly stood up, "Whether it is true or false, let''s verify it yourself."


    "Young Master? Are you thinking?"


    Old Man Hong was surprised, "Are you really going to take risks?"


    Qin Chi''s sharpness and momentum did not restrain himself at this moment. He just glanced at Old Man Hong with a cold look, "Go to summon all the people, activate all the hidden lines in the city, and obey my order."


    “Affect the order.”


    Old Man Hong stopped talking and left.


    Since he arrived at the capital, Qin Chi has always been cautious in his actions and rarely has such strong actions.


    The night is slightly cool.


    A ink-colored cloak draped on Qin Chi''s body. The momentum of the face was covered, the momentum around her body no longer restrained. His eyes were firm and cold, like a leopard walking on the night, full of murderous aura and determination.


    Qin Chi and Old Man Hong went out.


    I went to the large mansion in a hutong in Xicheng. This is one of the secret guards'' ends.


    "Are you ready?" Qin Chi asked.


    Qin Yi, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared, "Report to the young master, all the notifications are in place."


    This is to enable all the hidden threads in the city.


    On this night, you can detect any movement.


    Qin Chi commander began to investigate.


    The first thing to be investigated is the whereabouts of the so-called former prince and Yan Jiangnan. At present, the two must be hiding somewhere in the capital. If they cannot be investigated, they can only be alarmed.


    "If you come in in groups of ten people, you can enter from each secret entrance. If you encounter strangers, you don''t have to hold back. Be sure to find all the imports and exports for me within an hour."


    Qin Chi must be able to alarm the other party.


    This method cannot be said to be effective.


    It can only be said to be a chance.


    Facts have proved that Qin Chi still has luck. Nearly a hundred secret guards sneaked into the underground secret passage, and they inevitably ran into hostile people. The other party was about to yell at the angrily person.


    The secret guards rushed forward without saying a word and were killing moves.


    At night, the ground was still calm, but no one expected that there were several battles underground. Occasionally, someone will hear a little movement in his sleep and think it is an illusion.


    A pigeon flew over.


    It fell to the windowsill and Qin Yi went up to catch the dove.


    Take off the scroll tied to the pigeon''s feet, then respectfully handed it to Qin Chi, and then quietly retreat to the side.


    Qin Chi opened the note, "People are in the Drunken Immortal Tower?"


    Put the paper stick in his hand on the light and light it, then throw it to the ground, until the words disappeared, Qin Chi then got up and looked out the window with cold eyes.


    Pull the hood up.


    "Set off!"


    Qin Chi gave the order and walked out with great strides.


    The streets and alleys of the capital seem deep and quiet under the hazy moonlight. A group of people walked quickly through the winding and dark alleys like shadows.


    Their goal is Zuixianlou.


    There is a deep courtyard behind Zuixian Tower.


    Usually there are few people here and they will not receive guests. Occasionally, people will see singers coming and going in and out of brothels, and the sound of silk and bamboo can often be heard. Therefore, it is rumored that this is the owner of Zuixianlou, a place of pleasure set up for himself.


    Qin Chi held a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was shining with cold light under the moonlight.


    When they surrounded the yard like ghosts.


    Qin Chi raised his long sword and pointed silently.


    The tip of the sword points to the courtyard.


    In an instant, the secret guards rushed into the courtyard from all directions like cheetahs pounced on their food. It clearly did not make a sound, but the momentum was like a tide and unstoppable.


    The masters who protect the courtyard also noticed the enemy''s attack.


    Respond immediately.


    In the sword light and sword shadow, the two sides fought fiercely.


    Each of them has a strong body, and it is a fierce killing move when taking action.


    The most shocking thing is that both sides are wearing faceless masks and dressed in strong clothes at night. At first glance, they look very similar. When they meet an outsider who comes over to take a look, they must not be able to tell whether they are enemies or friends.


    Under the night, Qin Chi was wearing a cloak and was particularly conspicuous.
