The Xuanwang Mansion in the night was silent as usual. A tall middle-aged man in black was standing outside Meng Yuan's study door, reporting in a low voice, "My lord, your subordinate, Wen Renyuan."

"Come in." Meng Yuan's cold voice came from the door.

Wen Renyuan pushed open the door and entered, raised his head and asked Meng Yuan eagerly. "Uncle Wenren, where is Yan Mo?"

Wen Renyuan sighed secretly. Yan Mo had just set off for a few hours, where else could he go? However, he didn't show it on his face, he just reported in a serious tone. "Don't worry, Your Highness, Yan Mo has set off a few hours ago and traveled thousands of miles a day in pursuit of the wind. I believe he will arrive at Momen in a few days."

Meng Yuan, whose face was always low, noddedin reply.

Even if Yan Mo was fast in the chasing wind, no matter how sleepless he was, it would take some days to go back and forth from Shandong. Thinking of Ling'er being alone in that dark prison, he had trouble sleeping and eating, and couldn't sleep at night.

Wen Renyuan sighed in disbelief when he saw this. His own prince had always been wise and make decisions, but when he encounters the matter of the princess, his reason disappears.

But right now, he still had something to report. Wen Renyuan had to interrupt Meng Yuan's thoughts and continued. "My lord, I  just checked, Meng Tianluo should have nothing to do with the battle of Guinuchuan."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed on Meng Yuan's cold face, but his voice did not fluctuate too much, and he instructed lightly, "Continue to investigate, it's not Meng Tianluo, there must be someone else."

"Subordinates obey." Wen Renyuan replied in a deep voice. "Although Meng Tianluo has nothing to do with Guinuchuan, he has wanted the prince's life for a long time, and he has been making frequent moves recently, so he needs to be careful."

"Meng Tianluo is not difficult to deal with, but now is not a good time to attack him. This king has to rely on him to lead snakes out of the hole. As originally planned, we will start with the Rong Palace."

Meng Yuan's order was neat and tidy, and he looked up at Wen Renyuan's tough and resolute face, he knew that he cared about him.

"Uncle Wenren, in a few days, it will be the death taboo for the dead soldiers of Kinugawa, so prepare yourself." Speaking of this matter, Meng Yuan's tone became even lower, and his face became a little dignified.

Wen Renyuan's face also became shadowy, and there seemed to be a dark light shining in his eyes. Seven years ago, the scene of the fire in the Kinugawa Canyon and the scorched corpses was still vivid in Wen Renyuan's mind. As the commander of the warriors, he just watched so many brothers and subordinates died in the sea of ​​​​fire without being able to rescue them. 

Every time he thought about it, he felt the pain in his heart and blood.

He swore that he would find out the mastermind behind the layout and design of the Kinugawa incident, one by one, in order to comfort the spirits of the more than a hundred a hundred thousand dead soldiers in the eternal testing place.

And also under the shadow of the night, next to a deserted wooden house on the outskirts of the city, a dark shadow flashed like a ghost. The black figure was dressed in night clothes and covered with black gauze, so no one could see her face at all. One could only tell from her slender figure that the person in black should be a woman.

After the woman in black looked around to see no one was watching, she tapped a few times on the tree trunk closest to her.

After a while, a tall figure also dressed in black walked out from the depths of the forest, almost blending into the night. Only the silver mask on his face shone with a faint cold light.

When the black-clothed woman saw the man appear, she bowed her head respectfully and saluted. "I see the Lord."

The voice is crisp and sweet, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

"Well." The man's voice was a little hoarse, as if it was deliberately lowered. "You did a good job this time. When this great cause is successful in the future, there will be many rewards."

Hearing this, the black-clothed woman seemed very happy, and even raised her voice. "Thank you Lord. Your subordinate will do her best to complete the task."

The man sneered and said coldly, "As long as you do things well, you will surely benefit from it in the future. Tell me, why did you come to see me tonight?"

The woman in black hurriedly lowered her head and replied, "Reporting to the lord, King Xuan has already sent someone to Momen in Shandong overnight, and this subordinate wants to ask the lord for instructions, what should she do next?"

"These are all within the expectations of mine. You just need to do your job well. When you are needed to do something, you will be notified. Don't make any decisions without authorization, you know?" The man said solemnly.

"Yes, your subordinates will await further instructions." The black-clothed woman knew that she had overstepped herself. Startled, she quickly bowed to retreat.

The night was getting darker and darker, the wind was blowing gently, the leaves swirled for a while, and in a moment, the abandoned house returned to tranquility.

The heavenly prison was dark for many years, and Zhao Ling did not know that she had been in the imperial prison for a few days. However, with Meng Tianlin's company from time to time, it wasn't too hard for her these few days.

Meng Tianlin would come to the prison every day to give her information, bringing her news about Meng Yuan, and then he would bring news from her to Meng Yuan, just like a hard-working wild goose.

Of course, Zhao Ling also told Meng Tianlin to send a message to the Duke's Palace.. No matter if Zhao Jiang and the old lady care about her or not, at least they could make Mama Xu and Luzhu feel at ease.
