The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 70 Maid (Seeking follow-up reading)

Hearing the noise, Yang Yunchong did not turn his head, but began to speak silently, only moving his lips without making any sound.

Zhao Ti asked coldly: "Yang Yunchong, what is your position in the Ming Cult?"

"Ah?" Yang Yunchong shuddered and cried out in shock when he heard that. All his martial arts skills were lost and he sat down on the ground.

"What is the Ming Cult? I don't know!"

Hou Er went over and pulled him around, saying, "You are a man of unjust origin, and you are actually a member of a gang. Young Master is questioning you, but you still don't tell the truth!"

Zhao Ti laughed and said, "Now there are members of the Ming Cult who have come to Beijing to seek refuge with me. If you mention your name, they will say that you are also a member of the Ming Cult."

"Who dares to rebel..." Yang Yunchong opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he had said something wrong: "I don't know what the Ming Cult is."

Zhao Ti sneered slightly, and Yang Yunchong lowered his head hastily: "Common people, common people..."

"You don't know the old man with white hair and white eyebrows, but he recognizes you and even said that you have a high status in the sect!"

Yang Yunchong's expression changed drastically: "Old man with white eyebrows and white hair?"

Zhao Ti nodded: "Do you remember who it is?"

"I, I really don't know. I just came to Beijing to live with my relatives!"

"You're still talking nonsense. You've already said something wrong just now. It's too late to deny it now!" Hou San slapped Yang Yunchong twice.

"I'll give you two days to think about it. Do you want to join me and enjoy wealth and glory, or..." Zhao Ti smiled, slowly turned around and walked out the door.

Yang Yunchong looked at the other person's back and sat on the ground, his mind in a mess. The old man with white eyebrows and white hair had a special image. He knew it was Yin Muchang, the White Rainbow Sword, a scattered person in the sect. But why would he defect to the other party and sell out his own family? What did that dog official call himself just now... This King?
Zhao Ti left the backyard of Jinfeng Tower. Zhou Tong reined in his horse and waited for him. He drove up the carriageway and said, "Let's go to Prince Duan's Mansion!"

Although he was 90% sure that the little girl would not continue to stay in Zhao Ji's mansion, he still had to go and take a look to feel at ease.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion and Zhao Ti got off the car.

The guards on the steps showed panic on their faces and saluted hastily: "Your Highness is coming..."

Zhao Ti asked, "Is Prince Duan in the palace?"

The leader of the army smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Your Highness wants to see Prince Duan?"

Zhao Ti glanced at him. It was the imperial guard who rolled down the stairs last time. He smiled and said, "Do you want to report it?"

"No, no, Your Highness, please, please..." He said no, but his feet stepped into the mansion door first and ran inside.

Zhao Ti led Zhou Tong forward, and no one dared to stop them, and they went straight to the study.

When they arrived not far from the study, they saw the army leader coming out with his tongue hanging out and panting. Zhao Ji also showed up soon after, and when he saw Zhao Ti, he stood up straight with an angry look on his face.

"Prince Yan, why are you here in my palace again?"

Zhao Ti ignored him, walked closer, and went straight into the study. Zhao Ji had no choice but to make way for him, saying angrily: "I won't welcome you here, you'd better go back quickly, or I will go to the Zongzheng Temple to report you for trespassing."

Zhao Ti sat down, then looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Eleventh brother, I want to ask you something."

Zhao Ji was alert and blinked: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Ti said, "Please sit down and talk."

Zhao Ji looked puzzled and said, "Hurry up and finish asking questions. I will leave the house right away."

Zhao Ti's lips curved up: "Do you have many maids in your house?"

"What?" Zhao Ji jumped up when he heard this: "Prince Yan, you stole so many treasures from me last time, and this time you are even worse, do you want to steal me again?"

Zhao Ti touched his chin and said, "Who are you robbing? This is a matter of life and death, you must answer truthfully."

Zhao Ji said angrily, "Don't scare me. What's the life or death issue? I think you saw the pretty maid in my house when you committed the crime last time, and you made up your mind. This time you are going even further and want to take her away."

Zhao Ti's face darkened: "You have also heard about my mission recently!"

Zhao Ji was stunned: "Isn't it Gui Fanlou?" Zhao Ti said: "There are some thieves who have escaped from Gui Fanlou and are hiding in various mansions. I ordered the portraits of the thieves to be captured, and one of them looks like the maid in your mansion, so I came to check."

"You, don't exaggerate. How could the fish that escaped the net in Guifanlou come from?" Zhao Ji was stunned.

"I came here to check out the friendship between brothers. Even if I didn't check, what would happen?" Zhao Ti sneered.

"I, I don't believe this. King Yan, you must be hiding it from me..." Zhao Ji said hesitantly with his eyes flickering.

"Since Eleventh Brother doesn't believe me, I'll leave." Zhao Ti smiled slightly, stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "The thieves in Guifanlou kill people without blinking an eye, and they also eat people's hearts and livers, peel off their skin and pull out their tendons, and they always do it in the dead of night..."

"Yan, King Yan..." Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Ti walking to the door and spoke hurriedly.

"Eleventh brother, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Ti turned his head.

"Did someone really run out from Guifanlou?" Zhao Ji took a breath.

"No." Zhao Ti continued to walk out.

"Yan, King Yan."

Zhao Ti kept walking.

"Eight, Eight Brother..." Zhao Ji ran to the front and said with a smile: "My brother was disrespectful just now, Eight Brother, please don't be angry, is what you said just now true?"

Zhao Ti stopped and looked at him and said, "I interrogated the captured thieves. They wanted to do something big before. They wanted to kidnap a prince and take him to the underground of Tokyo. They sent young girls to sneak into the royal family's mansion and wait for an opportunity to act."

"Then, the maid that Brother Biao mentioned..."

"I think the thief's painting looks very similar to your maid. Tell them all to come out and let me see. If you are sure it is the thief, arrest him and bring him to justice."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji shouted to Li Yan, who was standing not far away and cowering, "Hurry up and call all the maids from the courtyards here. Don't leave any one behind."

Li Yan ran to pass the message, and after a while a group of people came, about fifty or sixty in number.

Zhao Ti looked at them one by one, from beginning to end, frowned, but there was nothing inside.

He asked, "Did Prince Duan call everyone over?"

Zhao Ji said: "My dear, let me count them. I can't recognize them all. I just know how many there are in total."

Zhao Ti nodded, feeling puzzled. The girl he saw that night couldn't possibly be a concubine of the emperor. The way she was dressed made her look like a maid.

After a moment, Zhao Ji said, "Myna, it's all here, not one more, not one less."

Zhao Ti was silent for a moment. Seeing this, Zhao Ji patted his chest and said, "My brother, there are no thieves from Guifanlou in there, right? I was so scared."

Zhao Ti said, "Eleventh brother, come with me into the room."

Zhao Ji was puzzled and followed him in. He saw Zhao Ti standing beside the table, picking up a brush and starting to draw on paper.

Zhao Ji was shocked after watching for a few breaths: "My dear brother, how come you are so good at painting? I have never seen such a miraculous technique..."

Zhao Ti said, "Stop talking nonsense. Come and see if you can recognize this girl." He sketched the girl's appearance and figure, and then pointed it out to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath: "My dear brother, where did you know such a beauty? Why is she still dressed as a maid? My dear brother, please tell me, if she is not promised, I will marry her immediately, even as a princess."

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes and asked, "You really don't recognize me?"

Zhao Ji said: "How could I recognize it? Myna, tell me its origin, and I will..."

"Myna, don't go, you..."

Zhao Ti ignored him and walked out of the mansion. The little girl was not from Prince Duan's Mansion but appeared in the mansion. There was only one answer, she was here to look for someone, disguised as someone from the mansion!
There were indeed spies planted by the Ming Cult in Prince Duan's Mansion, but he was unable to investigate further. This mansion was not like his own residence, with hundreds of people living there. How could he have the time to investigate them all?

When they got outside, Zhou Tong asked, "Where is your Majesty going?"

Zhao Ti pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Bazi Water Mouth and take a look at the ancient tomb below."
