Dressed as the villain's stepmother

A piece of folded tissue paper fell out of her purse. Jiang Lianzhu frowned and picked up the piece of paper in confusion.

She had no impression of putting this piece of paper in her purse. When she opened it, she saw a familiar pattern on it.

"What are you looking at?" A deep voice came from outside the door. Liao Yunchuan stepped into the door with his long legs, his tone was doubtful.

Jiang Lianzhu did not avoid him, and generously let him see the patterns drawn on the paper.

After seeing her copying this pattern several times, Liao Yunchuan couldn't help but wonder: "Is there any secret to this pattern?"

"Indeed, there is. I wonder if you have seen this before." Jiang Lianzhu didn't hide it from him. She directly added a few strokes on the paper and drew a simple and compact tripod.

Looking at the things on the paper, Liao Yunchuan frowned more and more. Seeing Jiang Lianzhu's expression was calm, as if he didn't know that this thing was a taboo, he hesitated and asked, "How do you know about this thing?"

Jiang Lianzhu originally drew it casually and did not expect Liao Yunchuan to know about this tripod. After all, it was still unknown whether this thing existed in this time and space.But now Liao Yunchuan's face looked strange, and he recognized this cauldron at a glance.

"I tell you, you don't understand this." She chuckled. If she explained it, even Liao Yunchuan would look at her to see if she was confused. "Do you recognize this thing?"

Liao Yunchuan nodded: "I saw this object in the wizard's former residence. At that time, the emperor ordered me to take people to inventory the wizard's belongings. There was this tripod inside, which was made of bronze."

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu felt happy.This cauldron was indeed made of bronze. It had troubled her for so long, and she finally had some clues.

But she reacted, and when she heard the word "wizard" from Liao Yunchuan's words, her expression became confused.

She has traveled here for a long time, and until now, she has never heard of the existence of wizards, let alone seen them.For this reason, Jiang Lianzhu never regarded the wizard as a character that existed in this era, but thought that it was just a coincidence that she was brought here.

She frowned and asked in confusion: "Why have I never heard of the existence of wizards? Not to mention that I have never heard of it, and I have never seen any strange things." Except that the fact that she traveled through time was quite unbelievable, Even those stalls that bought all kinds of fun items have never seen anything related to this aspect.

Seeing her looking at him with confusion, Liao Yunchuan laughed and said warmly: "The art of witchcraft was very popular in the previous dynasty, and even the emperor believed in it. He even enshrined several highly famous wizards in the palace. At that time, one of them The national preceptor, which numbered more than [-] people, was also held by a wizard. At that time, the art of witchcraft was sought after and praised by almost everyone. But everyone knew that it was a black magic. And the mother of the current emperor is He was poisoned by this technique, so the emperor was extremely disgusted by it.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the art of witchcraft has been set as a forbidden art. All the students who followed the wizards to learn this art were imprisoned. The wizards were too evil. The emperor was worried that killing them would cause backlash, so he sent the wizards to the throne. He was demoted back to his place of origin, rushed to a barbaric land, and ordered to never leave. Even the Imperial Master, who was respected by thousands of people at the time, was imprisoned until the moment when his life stopped. "

"Today, learning the art of witchcraft is a serious crime for the Zhujiu Clan."

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu was slightly startled, knowing in her heart that these things about herself could only be checked secretly in private. If some people discovered it, it would inevitably affect Sanbao and Liao Yunchuan.

But now Liao Yunchuan already knows that she is investigating related matters, and she does not intend to pretend to him: "Then do you know where this tripod is?"

Expecting that she would ask, Liao Yunchuan nodded: "All the wizard's properties that were counted have been returned to the treasury. This cauldron must also be in the treasury now." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Lianzhu and asked, "You seem to be interested in this very interested?"

"I happened to see it in a book and thought it was strange, so I asked casually." Jiang Lianzhu made a fool of herself and then asked, "Then do you know where those wizards are now?"

Liao Yunchuan naturally saw that what she told was not the truth.

"At the beginning, the wizard group was driven to the Desert of Xizhou. No wizard has been seen for decades. I don't know if the wizard group has withered. If there are still descendants, they can only be in the Desert of Xizhou. "

Jiang Lianzhu nodded clearly, feeling that she needed to look for the descendants of the wizard somewhere. If she found them, they would definitely be able to solve the mystery of this bronze tripod for her.

As if he saw her plan, Liao Yunchuan reminded: "The environment of the Xizhou Desert is extremely harsh, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive there. There are many insects and snakes in the desert, high temperatures, lack of water, and frequent storms. You If you want to go, you have to take me with you. At least I can help you put it in the box when you come back."

Jiang Lianzhu choked. It had been a long time since she had been taught by Liao Yunchuan's mouth. Now, hearing him choke her like this still gave her a long-lost sense of familiarity.

"See what you said is so unlucky. If I really want to go, how can I not be fully prepared?" She raised her voice slightly and looked at Liao Yunchuan provocatively. "If you go with me, why don't you pretend to be fake?" Who’s back in the box?”

Liao Yunchuan looked at Jiang Lianzhu's proud and bright face, and just smiled without retorting: "In that case, if you plan to go, let me know in advance, and I will go with you."

His thin lips curled up, with an expression that said, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

Seeing that Liao Yunchuan was worried about her but had no intention of questioning her, Jiang Lianzhu felt slightly moved and felt a little grateful.

With Liao Yunchuan's intelligence, he must have known that she was hiding something and was related to a group of wizards, yet he was still willing to take such a big risk to accompany her to the desert of Xizhou.

"Okay." A bright smile appeared on her red lips.

The piece of paper lay flat on the table and was blown to the ground by the wind outside the door.

Liao Yunchuan bent down and picked it up: "Put this paper away carefully and don't let outsiders see it, so as not to cause any trouble."

Jiang Lianzhu was convinced, took the paper in his hand, walked to the candlestick and lit it.

The flames rushed up and quickly burned through the thin paper, engulfed it, and shattered outside the window with the biting cold wind.

Today, Liao Yunchuan can recognize the bronze tripod. If it is not preserved, no one else will know. Jiang Lianzhu still feels that it is more practical to destroy the painting. She already remembers the appearance of the bronze tripod.

"Did you do this?" A slightly teasing voice sounded, and Jiang Lianzhu glanced at him for no apparent reason. She saw those jade-like white and slender hands holding several twisted purses and looking at them, with a look in her eyes. With a joking smile, she immediately felt a layer of heat rising on her cheeks.
