Yun Youzi, Li Yang and Zhang Hui looked at each other and then bowed to Prince Xia Yuan.

Yunyouzi spoke on behalf of the three of them:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken seriously."

"Although we are not citizens of Daxia, we should do our best in the face of such a crisis."

"I just don't know...what are your plans, His Highness?"

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"The situation is urgent and we must take immediate action."

"At the very least, Zhao Ming's crimes must be made public first to set the record straight..."

"At the same time, we also need to find out the next plan of the men in black robes as soon as possible to prevent them from... doing those unprovoked evil things."

"Of course, we must finally find other parts of "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands."

Zhang Hui couldn't help frowning when he heard this:

"Your Highness, you said so much in one breath... Although it's all good, I'm afraid it won't be possible in one go."

"Especially looking for other parts of "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Xia Yuan nodded in agreement:

"That's a good statement, so I plan to split up."

"I will immediately summon the important officials in the court to deal with Zhao Ming."

"As for the investigation of the black-robed people and the search for the "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang", we will have to worry about the three of them."

"Of course, after Zhao Ming's matter is resolved, I will immediately go to help the three of them."

"In the meantime, if there is anything you can use me for, please feel free to mention it without any worries."

"I will definitely help with anything that is within my capabilities."

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Yun Youzi and Zhang Hui:

"In that case, why don't we act separately."

"For the time being, I will investigate the whereabouts of the man in black robe based on the clues."

"Zhang Hui is responsible for searching for clues related to "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang", while Yun Youzi stays with the prince in case of accidents."

This arrangement is reasonable.

The other two looked at each other and nodded slowly.

I don't know why...

Li Yang now seems to have a leadership style inexplicably.

Seeing that the three of them were in agreement, Xia Yuan said no more and just spoke solemnly:

"In that case, it's up to you to do the work."

"I will arrange for people to assist you. If you need anything, just ask."

After the discussion was settled, everyone began to act independently.

Xia Yuan left with the subdued Zhao Ming, preparing to summon ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Yunyouzi followed him around and protected him secretly.

Li Yang and Zhang Hui left the Prince's Mansion at night, preparing to launch their own investigations.

Li Yang, as an ordinary person, began to wander around the streets and alleys of the capital, seeking information.

He spent some time interviewing several secret information dealers.

Through rumors on the streets, I finally got some clues that seemed useful.

It is said that a group of unidentified mysterious people have been frequently visiting an abandoned Taoist temple in the western suburbs of the capital recently.

There are often strange lights lighting up there at night, and strange noises are often heard.

Moreover, the capital city should be at the feet of the emperor and immune to all evil.

Outside the suburbs, various evil things began to appear frequently.

There is no doubt that this is not a normal situation.

In this case, Li Yang decided to go and find out.

At the same time, Zhang Hui used the prince's relationship to start consulting the records of "Taiyuan Xuanzang" in the royal library.

After days of hard work, he finally found some clues in an ancient geography.

According to his own speculation, a certain part of "Taiyuan Xuanzang" may be hidden in a dangerous peak called Longya Mountain in the northwest of the Daxia Dynasty.

At least... there are some clues to be found there.

The place is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round and is haunted by legendary ancient ferocious beasts, so few people set foot there.

Zhang Hui informed Xia Yuan and Yun Youzi of this discovery.

After discussion, they decided to send an elite team, led by Zhang Hui, to explore the Dragon Tooth Mountain.

Just as Li Yang and Zhang Hui were taking action, there was an undercurrent surging in the capital.

Although Zhao Ming's downfall has dealt a blow to the power of the black-robed men, they obviously will not give up there.

Late at night a few days later, a group of men in black robes quietly sneaked into the palace with the intention of kidnapping the imprisoned Zhao Ming.

However, just as they sneaked into the prison where Zhao Ming was imprisoned, they were ambushed by Yun Youzi.

Yun Youzi, who had been on guard for a long time, showed up the moment the black-robed men broke in, and then subdued the black-robed men directly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining men in black robes immediately fled in all directions.

Yun Youzi was about to give chase when he saw a dark shadow flash past and head straight for Zhao Ming's cell.

Yun Youzi was shocked and quickly chased after him.

However, when he arrived at the cell, he found that Zhao Ming had disappeared, leaving only broken iron chains on the ground.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind:

"The Taoist priest is very skilled, no wonder he can gain the prince's trust."

Yun Youzi turned around suddenly and saw a man in black robe with a sinister face appearing behind him at some point.

The man held a dagger with a faint light in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Yun Youzi's throat.

Yun Youzi remained calm and said slowly:

"Since you have the ability to rescue Zhao Ming, why do you still stay here?"

The man in black robe sneered:

"Of course it's to meet you, Taoist priest..."

"I heard that you are investigating the whereabouts of "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang". I am very curious, how much do you know?"

Yun Youzi's heart trembled, knowing that the other party was testing him.

He pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang? As far as I know, it is just a legend. How can we know anything?"

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes, as if judging whether Yun Youzi's words were true or false.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance. It was obvious that the Imperial Guards heard the noise and rushed over.

The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the dagger and said coldly:

"That's all for today. See you another day."

After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness like a ghost.

Yun Youzi frowned slightly, full of doubts in his heart.

Why did the black-robed man know so much about their actions?

Is there a traitor in the Prince's Mansion?

Just as Yun Youzi was thinking, the Imperial Guards finally arrived.

They were panicked when they saw the messy prison cell and the missing Zhao Ming.

Yunyouzi comforted them and asked them to report to the prince immediately.

He knew that the situation would be more complicated.

At the same time, Li Yang also made a major discovery in the abandoned Taoist temple in the western suburbs of the capital.

He sneaked into the Taoist temple under the cover of night.

Ordinary people could not see it, but Li Yang knew it very well.

The entire Taoist temple was shrouded in extremely complex prohibitions and mechanisms.

From top to bottom, it was airtight.

Even if a mosquito flew over, it would be detected.

However... Li Yang had his own way.
