Fang Yuan didn't sleep all night, and after sending Xiao Zijun back, he called two envoys overnight.

Dongxi and Nanbei stood in the hall waiting for him, their eyelids were fighting each other due to sleepiness, Dongxi stood leaning on Nanbei's shoulders and fell asleep.Nan Bei shrugged his shoulders, he was startled and woke up.

"I have something to ask you, so make a long story short." Fang Yuan's voice sounded from behind, and he walked through the aisle and stood in front of the two of them, "Nanbei, do you still remember the cat you caught when you went to Chengbei Village last time?"

Nanbei nodded and said, "I remember. Your Majesty wants to raise a cat? That cat's coat color is good, and I immediately fell in love with it..." Dongxi lowered his head and bumped him with his elbow, and Nanbei immediately changed his words: " Ah, what I mean is that if Your Majesty wants to keep a cat, I'll find you a better looking one."

"No need, how much do you remember about that cat?"

Nanbei recalled for a moment: "That cat has snow-white fur and looks good. It is easy to recognize if you compare it with the same kind."

Fang Yuan said: "Two things need to be done by you. First, you have a lot of people under your command, and you must have a lot of capable people, and you have relatively strong investigative power. No matter what method you use, you can tell me the cat's whereabouts in Chengbei Village that day. I'll find it out. Second, you go to Jiangbei to find the best painter, tell him what you see, and ask him to draw that cat, try to resemble it as much as possible, and bring it back to me after the drawing is finished."

Seeing Fang Yuan's serious look, Nan Bei also became serious himself, and now he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he replied "I accept orders" and turned to leave.

"Then I..." The two envoys have always been on missions together, and it was the first time that Nan Bei was sent away and he still kept it. Things looked at Fang Yuan in a daze.

"You have more important tasks, which are not only important but also urgent, and must be done before the hour."

Shi Shi couldn't believe it, his heart was churning with excitement and joy, he didn't expect His Majesty to trust him so much, and entrusted him with important tasks, he firmly said: "I will definitely live up to my Majesty's entrustment!"

Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, and leaned close to his ear and said a few words, the envoy stared at him, unable to believe: "Huh?"

……

Xiao Zijun slept very lightly. Last night he and Fang Yuan walked outside until almost morning before coming back to rest. After sleeping for a few hours, he woke up. As soon as he got dressed and got out of bed, the bedroom door was quietly pushed open.

The man poked his head inside and took a look. Xiao Zijun was sitting by the bed: "Wake up, come in."

People carrying basins and breakfast came in one by one, and after setting the tables one by one, they said to Xiao Zijun: "Your Majesty asked us to serve you. He said that if you wake up, you will go out after breakfast. Waiting for you under the tree last night."

Fang Yuan has been very busy these two days, and sometimes he left in a hurry after saying a few words. He got some clues last night and should take advantage of the situation to investigate today. I don't know if he encountered difficulties or what.

"He didn't say anything?"

"No."

Xiao Zijun tidied up his clothes and wiped his face, "Got it, you guys go back, I'll go by myself later."

The breakfast on the table was very delicate, Fang Yuan picked his favorite food, and the dishes were different, Xiao Zijun couldn't finish it.He only drank a little porridge, afraid that Fang Yuan would wait for him outside for too long, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out.

Walking in the long corridor, he always felt that something had changed today. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look around.

There have been some changes. The purple fire has been used as the lighting here, making the dark place look gloomy. Today, all the lights hanging on the wall have been replaced by candles, covered with a layer of light-colored The lampshade is brightly illuminated all around.

The heavy nailed door was opened, and a lantern was hung on the barrier outside a few steps, and the dark open space was illuminated like daytime.

Xiao Zijun looked into the distance, the dead tree stood alone, there was no one under the tree, and Fang Yuan hadn't arrived yet.He walked over to wait under the tree for a while, and took two steps forward. Suddenly, a small gap opened in the soil under his feet. A tender green grass sprouted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally bloomed. A pure white flower.

Xiao Zijun didn't know why, so he stared at the flower for a while, seeing that it didn't make any other movements, he was a little puzzled, but he walked around it anyway.

When he took a step, the ground he stepped on cracked, and a white flower bloomed quickly.When he found out, there was already a path surrounded by white flowers behind him, and the white flowers swayed in the breeze, which was very beautiful.

He stood under the tree and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. All of a sudden, short branches protruded from the ground, and they grew and bloomed rapidly. The white flowers bloomed compactly one by one, covering the small green leaves under the petals. The sea of ​​flowers is like a layer of silver covering the earth after the first snow.

The wind picked up, and the white snow scattered all over the sky, and fell on his shoulders and feet in circles. He stretched out his hand to catch one that was about to float down, and a small white petal fell into the palm of his hand.

"Master—"

Hearing someone calling him, he turned around and saw Fang Yuan coming out from behind the tree with two jars of wine in his arms.

"You..." Seeing some petals falling from his hair and a smile on his face, Xiao Zijun lost his mind for a moment. The scene of snow in spring must be his handwriting, "Why did you suddenly..."

Fang Yuan stood side by side with him, looking at the petals flying in the sky in front of him, he was quite satisfied with his results, he said: "This is 'June Snow', its flowers only bloom in late spring and early summer every year, my name is The envoy went to look for some flower seeds overnight, but unfortunately it was still early, so I used the magic energy to push them away in advance."

"Didn't Master ask me, will it still snow this year? It's true that it won't snow here, but if Master wants to see it, I can keep them open."

While Xiao Zijun was still in a daze, Fang Yuan stuffed the wine in his arms into his hands: "According to the rules of Xiaoshan in the past, the wine should be buried under all the trees before the New Year, and you can dig it up during the New Year. I went out to drink. Although it is still early in the Chinese New Year, good wine is not afraid of staleness, there is only one tree here, we will bury it here, and I will drink with Master during the Chinese New Year, how about it?"

Fang Yuan's face was full of seriousness, no reason could make people refuse him, Xiao Zijun said: "Okay." He squatted down, but he didn't see any digging tools, so he pulled up his wide sleeves, I dug it empty, but fortunately the soil was still soft, poked it a few times and then lifted the soil away, leaving a small hole.

Fang Yuan looked down at his back, and suddenly said, "Master."

"Ok?"

"I've thought about it carefully, and I think I still have some things to do. When I'm done here, I'll find a way to resign from the position of the Demon Lord. I don't want this power, and Master doesn't need to work hard to rebuild his spiritual power. , we travel through the mountains, rivers and forests, no one can find us, and we don't care about other people's disputes anymore, how about it?"

Xiao Zijun stood up and wiped the mud off his hands: "You really think so? Although the power in you is not righteous, it is rare in the world. You won't regret it?"

Fang Yuan's tone relaxed: "Of course I won't regret it, I can't wait for it. Thinking about the days in Beiya, I was much happier than now." He bent down and buried the exposed part of the wine seal with soil. "One year, when the next spring is about to start, after drinking these two jars of wine, I will take Master away."

The wind stopped, and there were fewer scattered petals. Liu Yuexue was urged to open by the magic energy. When the magic energy on the branches and leaves was exhausted, the flowers began to wither and wither.Fang Yuan and Xiao Zijun were about to go back when the dead tree suddenly swayed and dropped some broken branches. With a "boom", a huge object hit the ground and fell right in front of the two of them.

The Messenger of East and West climbed up from the ground with his hands on his waist, dissatisfaction was written on his pale face: "Your Majesty, I agreed that I would control the wind and blow the petals on it, and you signaled me to stop, did you put me on the ground?" Forgot? I hugged the tree and stayed on it for almost an hour."

Fang Yuan raised his head and glanced calmly. The tree is quite tall, and it should be quite painful to fall.He was a little embarrassed: "I haven't talked to my master for a long time, and I forgot you were up there on a whim. The envoy has worked hard, this month's monthly salary is doubled, and the holidays are doubled, how about it?"

Dongshi pursed his lips aggrievedly, but it wasn't too bad, he swallowed all the words that followed.

The barrier fluctuated a bit, a person came in from the outside, ran in the direction of the main hall in a panic, turned halfway and ran back.

Nanbei took a breath, looked at the surrounding flowers and plants, and was a little dazed: "What new activities are you doing?"

"Mood, do you understand Mood?" Presumably they didn't understand, Fang Yuan let out a breath, "Are you so anxious that someone is chasing you?"

"No." Nanbei conjured up a scroll of painting from his hand, "Find someone to draw the painting, please take a look."

It has to be said that the efficiency of these two people is indeed very high. Fang Yuan took the scroll, removed the sealing rope, and pulled his hands apart——

A lifelike cat jumps out of the paper, its demeanor, fur color, and movements are all as real.

"This……"

"it……"

When they saw the picture scroll, Fang Yuan and Xiao Zijun spoke almost at the same time.

"Master, let's talk first."

Xiao Zijun looked at the painting again, "Is this the spiritual creature you met in Chengbei Village?"

"Yes."

"I seem to have seen this cat in Wanping Palace."

"What?" This time it was Fang Yuan's turn to be surprised.

Xiao Zijun shook his head: "Zhong Liyi had a cat next to him, and it once picked up my ink. I have some impressions and similarities, so I can't be sure."

As soon as Xiao Zijun's voice fell, Nanbei immediately answered: "It should be right! I have a special investigator with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Last night, the investigation found that the only spiritual thing that has been in Chengbei Village in the past six months is that cat. We I followed the smell all the way north, but finally the smell disappeared some distance from Wanping Palace."

Fang Yuan stared at the painting in his hand without saying a word, trying to think about something, "Give me a pen."

Shishi didn't know what he was going to do, so he conjured up a brush and handed it to him.

"I have a conjecture. Once this conjecture is established..." He stopped talking, and the others did not speak, waiting for what he would say next. Fang Yuan spoke while drawing on the drawing: "Five years ago When the accident happened in Chengbei Village, an old man in the village told me that they heard the sound of a bell that night. At that time, I suspected that the person was Wuyan, but this person disappeared for many years. forget."

He drew it with a few hasty strokes, and the few strokes he added did not match the original painting, but Xiao Zijun was shocked when he saw it.

A circle is circled on the cat's four paws, and a string of small bells are drawn on it.

"Is there a possibility that this cat may be Chang, Qing and Qing back then!"
