"Woof woof!"
Under his feet, Da Huang called out to Chen Changsheng twice, then pulled Chen Changsheng's trouser leg and walked out.
"You want to lead the way? Oh, I forgot, you are a dog, and a dog's nose is the most sensitive!"
"Let's go find Feng Cuiping!"
"I want to see who dares to come to my house and make trouble. I'm going to chop off his dog paws!"
"Woof!"
Upon hearing this, Da Huang nodded repeatedly at Chen Changsheng, baring his bright white fangs...
Since following Chen Changsheng, it has never suffered such a big loss!
It has always been the one biting others, so when has it ever been hurt by others?
Along the way, Dahuang led the way, and Chen Changsheng followed closely behind, moving forward along Changming Street, out of Xicheng District, and into Dongcheng District!
"We've entered East City District. Wasn't that the work of Chunfeng Pavilion?"
"Or, it was Chunfeng Pavilion that did it, but the person was sent to Prince Qi's Mansion?"
During the journey, Chen Changsheng kept guessing about the possibility of the matter. In the end, Da Huang led him all the way to his destination, and then Chen Changsheng was stunned...
"Prince's Mansion!"
"Nima, it's not Prince Qi's Mansion, it's the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
"Did the prince do this?"
"I should have thought of that earlier!"
"That fellow Yan Ming, his brother is dead, and the servant who was exploring the way is also dead. There is no reason for him to just stop like that. After all, he is working for the Crown Prince. If things are not going well, he will definitely ask for help from the Crown Prince!"
"In the eyes of the prince, I am nothing more than a grasshopper that can be easily crushed..."
"There are traces of the grapevines being dug up... Yan Xing and Yan San's bodies were most likely dug up as well..."
"So, it looks like the second visit to Prince Qi's Mansion will become the first visit to the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
"As the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there should be more masters in his mansion than in the Prince of Qi's mansion. Maybe... there are even grandmaster-level masters here..." Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
Grandmaster!
Since he was promoted to Grandmaster, or since he entered the Great Zhou world, he has only seen one person in the depths of the Heavenly Prison.
And because he was afraid of being discovered, Chen Changsheng had never had any contact with the innate master except for delivering meals.
"Innate Grandmasters are rare. The Grandmaster-level masters known to the officials of the Great Zhou can be counted on one hand, and most of them hold important positions, such as General Ye Wuji, who guards the northern border; Xue Yiren, the commander-in-chief of the Six Gates; Eunuch Pei, the chief steward of the Imperial Palace; Zhang Zhenbei, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, and so on."
"The first one commanded a large army and guarded the frontier. The second one led the Six Gates of Divine Constables and dominated the martial arts world. The third and fourth ones were actually the emperor's personal bodyguards..."
"I can't be so unlucky, I just run into one..."
"If I'm really that unlucky... Feng Cuiping, Feng Cuiping, don't blame me for being disloyal..."
Chen Changsheng muttered something, then took Da Huang, found a side yard, and climbed over the wall...
The specifications of the Prince's Mansion are much larger than those of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. However, the construction drawings of the royal villas are similar, only the specifications are different. Since I was familiar with the layout of the Prince of Qi's Mansion before, I was not completely in the dark when I came to the Prince's Mansion.
"Good fellow, this is worthy of being the Prince's Mansion. There are elite armored soldiers patrolling openly, and there are also experts hiding and watching in secret!"
"This place is heavily guarded. Unless you are a congenital master with greatly enhanced five senses, any ordinary scoundrel who dares to enter will probably be shot into a hornet's nest..."
"But fortunately... For me, it's not that difficult..."
"Da Huang, show me the direction!"
Chen Changsheng patted Da Huang's head gently. Taking advantage of the night, the man and the dog dodged wave after wave of patrolling armored soldiers and secret guards...

Prince’s Mansion, Huaguang Palace!
Crown Prince Li Yin sat upright on the armchair. After Yan Ming stood up, four or five men in black were bowing and saluting. On the ground, a woman was tied up with a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth, as if to prevent her from making any sound.
In addition to this woman, there were several other corpses placed in this hall...
"Pang Da, what's going on? I asked you to capture Chen Changsheng, but... you captured a woman?" Prince Li Yin frowned.
"Your Highness, please allow me to report that we did not find any trace of this man in Chen Changsheng's house, only this girl... So, we captured her..." Pang Da, the leading man in black, replied.
"What? He's not here?" Crown Prince Li Yin was stunned when he heard that.
"Your Highness, Chen Changsheng prefers to listen to music in brothels. If he is not from a good family, he must have gone to a brothel!" Yan Ming bowed and said.
“Wuwuwu…”
Feng Cuiping, lying on the ground, could only make a humming sound...
"What's going on with Pang Si?"
"You five worked together to deal with a woman, and something unexpected happened?" Li Yin frowned.
The five Pang brothers were all masters around him. They had done many things for him, and each time they were foolproof. But this time... one of them died?
Just to catch a little girl?
"Prince, there was an accident... The fourth brother... he was bitten to death by a dog..." Pang Da said bitterly.
Back then, the five brothers had roamed the martial arts world for so many years, eventually growing tired of it. They'd worked for the Crown Prince, carrying out numerous errands without fail. Who could have imagined that their first setback would be on a dog...
"What? Dog? If I remember correctly, Pang Si is already a second-rank official!" said the prince.
A dignified second-rank master was bitten to death by a dog?
Are you kidding me?
What kind of dog is so powerful?
"Your Highness, this is true. That dog... is different from ordinary dogs... more like... a demon..." Pang Da hesitated and said...
"Monster? What nonsense?" Li Yin said angrily.
As the crown prince, Li Yin knows many secrets that ordinary people in this world don't know!
Monsters do exist, of course, and they are scary!
However, it is impossible for monsters to exist in such an anti-mundane city like theirs!
Monsters all live in deep mountains and forests.
"Your Highness, I'm not lying... Not only did the fourth brother die at the hands of that dog, but we also dug up three corpses in Chen Changsheng's yard. The scars on each of them are exactly the same as the fourth brother's. Among them is Yan Xing, the one you're looking for..."
Pang Da said as he uncovered the white cloth covering the body...
"Second brother!"
When Yan Ming saw Yan Xing's corpse, he panicked and leaned over to cry...
How could his Yan family's talented horse die in a dog's mouth before it even led the Yan family to rise?
"It is indeed Yan Xing... Yan Ming, I am deeply sorry for the loss... Take a look at the corpse next to him, is he also from your Yan family?" Prince Li Yin took a look at the corpse and said in a calm voice.
For Crown Prince Li Yin, Yan Xing is a talent, but the only thing he needs to be alive is...
If she died, then she would be nothing. He was too lazy to even look at her...
"Your Highness, this is the servant I sent out. His name is Yan San, and he is also a fourth-grade warrior!" Yan Ming said, wiping away his tears.
"Sure enough, the scars on their necks are all the same. It seems they were all bitten to death by that dog..."
"So... the case is solved. The jailer was probably just an ordinary jailer, but the dog was very unusual..." Crown Prince Li Yin said calmly, but his heart was not so calm...
A dog that can bite a second-grade master to death?
This is amazing!
Even if this dog is not a monster, it probably has monster blood!
And, will it continue to grow?
Can it even reach the point of biting a master of innate nature to death?
For a moment, the prince was very excited. If he could get this dog, he could use it as a trump card at a critical moment!
No one cares about a dog, but the things you care the least about are often the most deadly!
My father is already old and probably doesn't have many years left to live, but Prince Qi Li Ke...
He has great power!
Whether in the court, in the martial arts world, or even in secret...
Even he, the crown prince, was wary of him!
