Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and the others originally came to the palace to meet Mrs. Huyan to ask for clues and browse the library of the Imperial City, but they didn't expect to kill a few assassins on the way, and a very short-sighted assassin even pissed off Zhan Zhao. So Zhan Zhao got angry and arrested everyone.

This woman is actually a later one. It was a few people on the roof who were going to arrest Grand Master Pang before, but they were intercepted during their escape.

Those people on the roof are not idiots, and their kung fu is not bad, but it doesn't matter if they are idiots or not. Zhan Zhao's light kung fu is too good. They were all planted, let alone these people.

Everyone took the man in black to the other courtyard first.

In the other courtyard, Mrs. Huyan was rubbing Taishi Pang's belly, while Pang Yu was fanning his father.

Zhao Zhen, the Eighth Prince and Lord Bao were also there.

The Eighth Prince and Lord Bao had just concluded the meeting and were about to go back to their homes, but they heard someone shouting to arrest the assassin.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that Concubine Pang would be worried, so he asked people to keep quiet, and ran to see how the grand master was doing. It seemed that he was not injured.

Just now, as soon as Pang Yu dragged the grand master into the yard, several men in black came down, one kicked Pang Yu away, and the other grabbed the grand master and dragged him out.

The grand master called for help, and was punched in the stomach, and was speechless for a while.

The palace was heavily guarded, and this group of people obviously understood the shift system of the guards in the palace and was familiar with the terrain. When they grabbed Grand Master Pang and took him outside, the nearest guard was still some distance away from them.Fortunately, Mrs. Huyan ran out, kicked an assassin over, and let out a lion's roar, "There is an assassin!"

Madam Huyan's roar made the entire roof of the palace hum and tremble, even Zhao Zhen, who was drinking tea next to Concubine Pang, heard it.

Concubine Pang was taking a nap at noon, and when she woke up from her sleep, she asked Zhao Zhen in a daze, "Did my mother call me?"

"No, are you dreaming?" Zhao Zhen comforted Concubine Pang to sleep first, looked at Concubine Pang, who was delicate and weak, and imagined her mother's burly and heroic, Zhao Zhen also felt that there must be something wrong with the Pang family's bloodline .

When the Eighth Prince and Bao Zheng arrived, Nangong Ji and his guards also arrived, and saw Mrs. Huyan pulling up a lamppost as thick as a bowl, fighting against three with one enemy. Grand Master Pang and Pang Yu were hiding behind her, The bird is like a person.

Seeing that the opportunity was missed, the man in black turned around and fled.

Nangong chased to the roof, but found that the three were very familiar with the terrain, and escaped in an instant.But by such a coincidence, there was a man in black on the roof not far away, who seemed to have no way of knowing, so Nangong led people to chase after him, and then there was the scene where the assassin held Zhan Zhao hostage.

Master Bao patted Pang Ji on the shoulder and asked, "Old Pang, who wants to catch you?"

Pang Ji rubbed his stomach. He had just eaten the rice dumplings and noodles from Kaifeng Mansion, and this punch made his stomach churn. Sure enough, Kaifeng Mansion did not take advantage of Kaifeng Mansion at all.

Gongsun went to feel the pulse of the grand master, and the fourth son rubbed his belly in distress.

Seeing Xiao Sizi rubbing his chubby belly, the grand master raised his face and asked him, "Little Fatty, does it still hurt?"

The grand master shook his head like a rattle, thinking that in a few years, there will be such a big granddaughter, and he also rubbed his stomach and asked, "Grandpa, does it hurt..."

The more the grand master thought about it, the more turbulent it became, the pain or something, I don't remember!

Zhao Zhen asked someone to push those assassins up with great interest, and he wanted to question him.It's been a long time since there have been assassins in the palace, but it happened to him once, and he must be taken seriously.

After a while, the four assassins were all tied up and sent up, and were escorted by the guards to kneel in front of Zhao Zhen.

Nangong Ji took off their masks one by one, and there were three men and one woman who came.The three men were two young men and one old man, and the girl looked only eighteen or nineteen.

Zhao Zhen stared at the three dejected men for a while, and couldn't help saying, "This is new."

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen.

Pang Ji squinted his eyes and jumped up, "Changsun Ji? You are full, why arrest me?!"

The Eighth Prince also didn't understand, "My lord, why are you..."

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao curiously, "Who is it?"

Zhan Zhao tilted his head to look at the old man, he was also a little surprised, he had not only seen the old man, he even knew the two young men, but he had never seen the girl.

"Changsun Ji was originally a commander of the Forbidden Army, and now he is an instructor of the Forbidden Army, responsible for training the newly promoted guards. The young man on the left is his son, who seems to be called Changsun Feiyun. He is now working in the Guards Battalion. I don't know the specific officer, it seems It is also a fourth grade. The one on the right is Changsun Ji’s nephew, Changsun Mao, who works in the Ministry of Culture, and that girl is probably his daughter.” After Zhan Zhao introduced Bai Yutang, he did not forget to add, “It’s no wonder that Changsun Ji is familiar with the terrain of the palace. Dude, why do you do this?"

Master Bao thought for a while, and asked, "My lord grandson, did you have some evidence of this fat man's crimes but could not expose them, so you want to do it yourself..."

Before Master Bao finished speaking, Pang Ji was so angry that he kicked him.

Gongsun hurriedly pulled him to sit down and stabbed him in the forehead to keep him from getting emotional!The fourth son continued to rub Taishi Pang's belly, and Baobao always bullied him.

Master Bao was also joking with Taishi Pang, turned around, and waited for Changsun Ji to explain why he took the risk to do such absurd things.

Changsun Ji bowed his head and remained silent.

Actually today, if Mrs. Huyan wasn't there by chance, maybe she would have succeeded. Changsun Ji still has a good understanding of the situation in the palace.

Zhao Zhen found a stool and sat down, and was about to hear the reason.

Seeing the old man hesitate, Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Pu again, Zhao Pu finally winked at Ouyang Shaozheng.

Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "Old man, if you don't say anything, you can kill your daughter first."

Only now did Changsun Feiyan realize that she was blind and ran out to hold Zhan Zhao hostage. It is no wonder that she is usually raised in a boudoir. Although her temper is a bit wild, she has never seen any big scenes. Seeing her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly looked at her father and elder brother.

Her elder brother looked at her helplessly. This girl is usually too spoiled, and he can't tell the difference. Without her today, the whole army would not be wiped out.

Changsun Ji sighed, and honestly explained the reason for kidnapping the Grand Master.

The eldest grandson's family used to be an official with their own duties and was very stable, but not long ago, his grandson, the eldest son Feiyun's three-year-old son, was kidnapped.The kidnapper sent someone to send a letter and the shoes of the little grandson, saying that he wanted his grandson, so he tied Taishi Pang in exchange.

Bao Zheng frowned, "Why didn't you report to the police?"

The eldest grandson Ji fell to the ground to plead guilty.

The eldest grandson Feiyun explained, "It's none of my father's business, it's my own decision! Those kidnappers said that if they couldn't tie Grand Master Pang within three days, they would chop off my son's hand, and a day later, they would chop off my leg... I read it." Desperate, and feel..."

"What do you think?" The grand master curled his lips.

"I think you are a corrupt official, so if you arrest him, you will be arrested." Mr. Bao's assistant leader, Sun Feiyun, finished.

The master was so angry that he gasped.

"Then what day is it?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"It's already the third day." Changsun Ji said helplessly, "We observed the grand master two days ago and found that he has been staying in the palace for the past few days, and occasionally appears in the other courtyard. The guards of the other courtyard have a vacancy, so I'm going to take this opportunity to tie up the Grand Master..."

The grand master sulked aside with a dark face.

Changsun Ji said, in fact, they planned to save the child and the grand master when exchanging hostages...

The grand master wrinkled his face like a steamed stuffed bun, and said in his heart - it's no wonder you saved me!

Bao Zheng thought for a while, and said to Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, although the eldest grandson has done absurd things, the youngest son is innocent and deserves to be saved."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

The Eighth Prince also said, "If someone really wants to kidnap the grand master, there must be another time if he fails this time. It is impossible to prevent it. We need to find out the purpose of the kidnapper."

"Why don't you use the trick?" Zhan Zhao suggested.

Bao Zheng nodded, "That is."

"What's the trick?" Grand Master Pang opened his eyes wide.

Zhan Zhao pointed to himself, and then pointed to the grandson Feiyun, "I pretended to be him, and brought the grand master to meet those people, and said that my family members were all arrested, so I escaped with the grand master. , Let them hand over their sons, or I will kill the Grand Master!"

What Zhan Zhao said made Pang Ji shrink back.

"En." Bao Zheng nodded in satisfaction, "Guard Zhan is thoughtful!"

Pang Ji curled his lips—this is still thoughtful, Lao Bao is going to kill me again...

"Is... safe?" Pang Yu was a little worried, and asked Bao Zheng, "Why don't you find a good substitute to replace my father?"

The grand master kept nodding his head, and said in his heart, it's still my son who loves me!

"Looking for someone to pretend to be your father..." Bao Zheng asked Nangong Ji, "Are there any guards weighing two hundred catties in the palace? You have to have such a big belly."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched subconsciously.

Nangong Jixin said that if any guard becomes as fat as the Grand Master, I will kill him with my own hands!

Seeing Nangong shaking his head, Grand Master Pang looked around, "Otherwise, it's easy..."

"Time is running out, Grand Master." Zhao Pu reminded him that he was not afraid of big things when he clearly watched the excitement.

The eldest grandson Ji begged the grand master, as long as he could make up his grandson, he was willing to pay with his life.

Pang Ji hesitated, but he also knew that this matter was not just for saving the eldest grandson’s grandson, but also for his own good. It was so easy to get some clues. If he missed it this time, he would really be kidnapped if he didn’t have his wife or Zhan Zhao next time. ? !

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows at the Grand Master, "Don't worry, I'll send shadow guards to follow secretly, everything will be fine."

Pang Ji looked at Bai Yutang again.

Bai Yutang also raised his eyebrows, indicating that he would also follow.

The grand master looked at Tianzun and Yinhou again, and Bao Zheng patted him, "Don't worry, there are so many masters, who can hurt you?"

The grand master scratched his head, and Mrs. Huyan also advised him behind him that he should give it a try.

The Grand Master sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll go!"

Everyone has to go with them, but Gongsun kept an eye out, thinking that everyone doesn't need to go, what if it is to divert the tiger away from the mountain?

This idea coincides with Zhao Pu's. On the other side of the grand master, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Tianzun and a few shadow guards will follow, that's enough. Zhao Pu and Yin Hou stay and ask Hu Yan Ma'am, about the fire dragon and fire phoenix.

Everyone split up, Zhan Zhao changed into black, and after asking the eldest grandson Ji how to contact the other party, he took the grand master out of the palace, and the others followed secretly.

Zhan Zhao and the others left.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Zhen prepared to leave too.

Changsun Ji said that everything was his fault, but Changsun Feiyan was innocent, and begged Zhao Zhen to send his children lightly.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and said, "Temporarily put in prison, and the rest will be discussed when the Zhan guards come back."

So, everyone was taken down.Zhao Zhen said to Bao Zheng, "The state-owned state-law family has family rules. Kidnapping the grand master is a felony and should be beheaded. Bao Qing doesn't have to be shy and handle it impartially."

Bao Zheng nodded in agreement, but Mrs. Huyan stepped forward to intercede, "Your Majesty, although the eldest grandson made absurd mistakes this time, he was forced to helplessness, which is understandable. Please forgive me."

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows. Don't look at Mrs. Huyan as a big and thick woman, but there is a subtlety in the rough.In fact, the emperor wanted to appease the grand master before he said that he would strictly punish the eldest grandson Ji, but if he killed the eldest grandson Ji because of this incident, some people would think that the emperor was ruthless, or that he was too partial to the Pang family. The period that is about to give birth is more sensitive.But the emperor was not good at letting himself deal with it lightly from the beginning, which would belittle the Grand Master, after all, he was the victim.

In this way, Mrs. Huyan pleaded in person and said it, which would also improve the Taishi's bad reputation.

Zhao Zhen nodded, waved his hand, and said - you can do it, I don't care.So, I went back to the study to work.

"Ah." Mrs. Huyan sighed, sat down to drink tea, and said to Bao Zheng, "Master Bao, who wants to arrest the Grand Master?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, he also felt it was strange, although the Grand Master had a high position and authority, but he didn't seem to be that important, kidnapping the Eighth Prince, Zhao Pu, and even himself could understand, why tied that fat man?It also costs food to raise them.

"By the way, my lord." Mrs. Hu Yan asked Zhao Pu again, "The Grand Master said you have something to ask me?"

Zhao Pu looked at Zou Liang, what that meant—you can ask.

Mrs. Huyan looked at Zou Liang again.

Zou Liang nodded, and went straight to the point, "Fire Phoenix."

Mrs. Huyan was taken aback.

"Madam said that fire phoenix is ​​an ominous omen?" Zou Liang asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Oh..." Mrs. Huyan smiled and said, "Well, speaking of it, it happened many years ago."

Everyone listened patiently.

"That was when I was about five years old." Mrs. Huyan held the cup and recalled, "I followed my father and grandfather to sweep the North, passing a place called Moshu Village."

Ouyang was familiar with the land and history of the northwest area, and asked, "That village disappeared more than 40 years ago."

Mrs. Huyan nodded, "I watched it disappear."

Everyone was stunned.

"I still remember that day, our camp was stationed not far from Moshu Village, and it started to thunder that afternoon. In fact, people in the north like rain very much, so grandpa took me out to watch the rain. I just remember the rain It was getting bigger and bigger. I was still young at that time, and it was the first time I saw such a heavy rain. Later, my grandfather took me back to the army tent and discussed with my father. People went to help. Just at this time, there was a loud and loud thunder in the sky, and then it was red like fire for a long time. I was standing at the door of the tent and saw the sky in the distance. Above, a fire phoenix appeared."

"Fire Phoenix?" Zou Liang asked, "Are you sure it's Phoenix?"

Mrs. Hu Yan nodded, "Sure! After the phoenix appeared, I heard some commotion in the barracks. Several veterans shouted, saying 'fire phoenix is ​​a bad omen', let us run quickly. It is said that those old men disturbed the military discipline and shook the army's morale, and prepared to serve in the military law, but those veterans begged Grandpa to withdraw the troops quickly, otherwise, the entire army might be wiped out, Huofeng is not kidding!"

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "There is such a thing..."

Mrs. Huyan nodded, "Grandpa saw those veterans begging for their lives later, so he listened to the persuasion and ordered the camp to retreat a few miles."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Huyan sighed, "When we retreated to a place far away from Moshu Village, suddenly there was another thunder. I saw a fire dragon hovering over the village, and then opened its mouth to breathe fire. The whole village, including our original All the camps were burned.”

Everyone was surprised—it was exactly the same as what Gaoxie witnessed, but here the fire dragon and fire phoenix seemed to appear one after another!Everyone inexplicably thought of what Lin Yehuo said before, "Did you just see the fire dragon? Or did you see the fire dragon and the fire phoenix together?" Is there any particularity here?

Mrs. Huyan told everyone, "Later, my father took people to the village to investigate, and when he came back, he talked with grandpa. They thought I was asleep, but I was actually awake. I remember clearly. They said that the people in the whole village were basically It burned to death, but most of the houses are intact, which is extremely evil. My grandfather asked a few veterans who had reported the letter before, what happened to the omen of the fire and the phoenix.”

Everyone hastened to listen, yes!What is the ominous omen of fire and phoenix?

Mrs. Huyan took a sip of water and said in a deep voice, "Those veterans only said that this is a saying passed down from their ancestors. The fire phoenix is ​​the most inauspicious thing in the world. After the fire phoenix appears, there must be a fire dragon following it. Maybe it will be followed closely, maybe it will be three to five years or even longer. But wherever the fire phoenix goes, it will definitely be condemned by the gods, and if you want to save your life, you have to leave as soon as possible, the farther you go, the better!"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

"The old soldier said that the ancestors passed it down..." Ouyang touched his chin, "How long ago was that?"

"Well, not many people know about this matter, but since I know it, I feel a little taboo, so I am most afraid of seeing things like fire and phoenix." Mrs. Huyan said, standing up, "Everyone still Do you want to ask? I'm going to see my daughter, she should be hungry when she wakes up."

Everyone nodded to indicate that there was nothing else to do, and Bao Zheng sent Mrs. Huyan out.

"Guess." Long Qiaoguang touched Zou Liang with his arm, "Lin Yehuo had such a big reaction, could he have seen Huofeng when he was a child?"

Su Qing has been silent all this time, when she heard this, she frowned, "I haven't heard him mention it."

"Where did he live when he was a child?" Ouyang asked.

Su Qing shrugged, "He should have learned from the eminent monk Wusha, as for where to live..." Su Qing looked at Yin Hou.Wusha is also an expert in the world, Yinhou and Tianzun may know better.

At this time, Yin Hou was crossing his arms and thinking about it, as if he was absent-minded.

"Yin Yin." The fourth son tugged at the hem of Yin Hou's clothes.

Yin Hou looked down at him.

"Do you know where Xiao Linzi lived when he was a child?" Xiao Sizi asked helpfully.

Yin Hou frowned, didn't answer, and asked instead, "Is Lin Yehuo about the same age as Zhao?"

Everyone nodded.

"Hmm..." Yin Hou thought for a while, "I might know what's going on."

……

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Lin Yehuo sat in front of the windowsill and looked at the sky. The rain stopped and he felt a little better.

At this time, someone ran in from outside the yard.

Lin Yehuo looked up, and saw Xiao Liang strolling in with his hands behind his back, stood beside him, and handed him a box.

Lin Yehuo opened it, and inside was a serving of noodles and a rice dumpling.

Xiao Liang rubbed his nose, "You didn't have a good lunch, did you?" After speaking, he squatted down to tease the puppy.

Lin Yehuo picked up some noodles gracefully with chopsticks and asked Xiao Liang, "Are you not following your little four?"

Xiao Liang raised his face, "Jin'er said you were in a bad mood, which made me feel bad and only care about playing by myself."

Lin Yehuo let out a "poof" and then gnawed on the rice dumplings.

While gnawing, Xiao Liang did not forget to add, "There is only one zongzi left, General Zou told you to keep one."

Lin Yehuo paused, curled his lips, "That wild wolf has a conscience..." As he spoke, he suddenly found that the zongzi was missing a corner, and he was puzzled, "Why is there a piece missing?"

"General Zou took a bite."

"Ahem." Lin Yehuo choked on the zongzi and beat his chest.

"People still care about whether you are hungry or not." Xiao Liang muttered again with his face raised, "You still poured wine all over him, cheapskate."

Lin Yehuo squinted at him, pointed at him with chopsticks, "Which side are you from?!"

Xiao Liang patted his chest, "It's from Jin'er!"
