Dragon Pattern Roll Set

At noon, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the teahouse mentioned in Xuanyuan Po's letter.

The guy in the teahouse took them to the third floor.

Xuanyuanpo had been waiting in the private room for a long time, when she saw someone coming in through the door, she raised her head to look, and when she saw the two people coming in, she stared blankly, then shook her head with a smile.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao sat down at the table opposite him.

"Are you two planning to enter the palace together?" Xuanyuanpo asked.

Bai Yutang nodded.

Xuanyuan Po held her chin, "Well, that's fine, at least I have someone to take care of me, and someone to send me a message. But it may also cause suspicion...you two have to deal with it."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Will we see Xuanyuan Jie tomorrow?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Po nodded, "My father will go to Northwest Hai County tomorrow morning. In fact, he is mainly here this time to participate in the annual martial arts test."

"Martial arts test?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is it similar to selecting the champion of martial arts?"

"That's not true. Beihai has always valued martial arts over literature. My father likes to watch martial arts contests. He asks each of our counties to hold a martial arts test every year. The first place in each county will go to the imperial city to participate in the martial arts contest held by the palace. The one who wins in the end will be awarded the title of Beihai's number one master, and thus successfully enter the army to serve, and may also be selected by our county kings as helpers, in short, each has a bright future."

"Why does Xuanyuan Jie like watching martial arts contests?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Yes, my father attaches great importance to the martial arts test, and he will come to see it every time." Xuanyuan Po nodded.

Zhan Zhao's eyes suddenly brightened, looking at Bai Yutang, "I have a proposal."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, as if he had understood Zhan Zhao's intentions, "Cat, are you going to take part in the martial arts test?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "If I sneak into the palace with you, if I'm recognized, then you will be dragged down, which means that all previous efforts will be wasted? Besides, even if you can enter the palace, you are still a prince. Xuanyuan Jie may not let you know about military affairs so quickly. But if I pretend not to know each other first, I will go to the martial arts test and find a way to compare myself to the first place. If you successfully enter the palace, then you will also be the prince, and then you will be justified. Pick a helper by your side, maybe I still have a chance to get acquainted with his soldiers and horses."

Xuanyuan Po nodded, "This plan is very good, and it will not easily arouse my father's suspicion."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, Zhan Zhao's method was indeed good, but... he was a little worried.

"You should still worry about yourself." Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang was worried, and reminded him, "Even if I can beat the number one, I don't need to stay by Xuanyuan Jie's side, you are different, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, Plus he's a tyrant."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Brother Zhan will arrange for me to participate in the competition. It is very easy to do well." Xuanyuanpo said, looking at Bai Yutang, "Have you ever thought about how it happened to meet my father?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, what he meant - naturally he hadn't thought about it.

Xuanyuan Po raised her forehead—as expected.

"As for you, Bai Yutang, you are also a knight after all. There must be some reason why you came all the way to Beihai." Xuanyuan Po said, "My father also likes to walk around every time besides watching martial arts competitions, but he doesn't Go to the city tower to have a look, go to the nearby teahouse to have a cup of tea, just go to the piano shop or something..."

"Qin business?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Does Xuanyuan Jie like playing the piano? It doesn't match his identity as a tyrant."

"Hehe, I'm also very surprised at this point." Xuanyuan Po said, "He likes to listen to the piano everywhere, but he doesn't have a favorite song in particular. In short, he just listens to it casually."

Bai Yutang froze slightly, then took out a scroll from his pocket.This test paper was also one of the small objects given to him by the Silver Demon King. It was held together by a copper hoop. Bai Yutang had opened it before, and there were a few piano scores written on the paper.

Bai Yutang is proficient in rhythm. When he read it before, he thought the score was weird and seemed incomplete. He didn't understand why the Silver Demon King gave it to him. But now when it comes to the piano... maybe it's an opportunity.

Bai Yutang asked Xuanyuan Po, "Where does Xuanyuan Jie like to go to listen to the piano?"

"He most often goes to the piano store near my palace. The cedar pianos in Beihai are very popular. Every year, many foreigners come here to buy pianos. There are often some talented people and beautiful women who try the pianos. My father likes to listen to people. Tried the piano."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll go buy the piano and try it out by the way."

"It's best if you are prepared." Xuanyuan Po nodded, then changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Zhao Pu has returned to Black Wind City."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at him—are you well informed?

"For those of us in the northwest, Zhao Pu is an existence that cannot be ignored. He suddenly returned to Heifeng City, which naturally arouses people's imagination." Xuanyuan Po said, "I will suppress the matter of Meng Qing for the time being. He will take care of the life and death of these heirs, he may not even remember that there is a cub like Meng Qing, so he probably won't get in touch with you."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

"Besides, Zhao Zhen is very shrewd." Xuanyuanpo smiled faintly, "He asked people to investigate Beihai in a very high profile."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback.

"In this way, on the one hand, Zhao Pu's return to the frontier can be explained. On the other hand, it also makes my father suspect whether there is a traitor in the palace." Xuanyuanpo said.

"Then aren't you dangerous?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Hehe." Xuanyuan Po sneered, "Being his son will be dangerous any day, and I'm used to it."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were born in relatively happy and harmonious families, and their parents loved their relatives a lot since they were young. Therefore, they don't quite understand how Xuanyuan Po's vigilance and indifference, which is as vigilant and indifferent as guarding against his own father and enemies.

"Don't worry, there are so many brothers, each one has a different heart, and they know what they have done behind the scenes." Xuanyuan Po took a sip from the teacup, "If you want to talk about ghosts in your heart or behind the scenes, my few This brother has a lot more flower guns than me, and if you want to check, you can't find anything about me."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little speechless, some people lived to make their families happy, while some people lived to eradicate their families.

"Then it's settled." Bai Yutang felt that there was nothing more to say, so he prepared to leave.

"Alas..." Xuanyuan Po seemed to feel disappointed, "You are so cold and boring." As he spoke, he asked Zhan Zhao, "Won't you get bored when you're always with him?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Xuanyuan Po, smiled faintly, "Is there any? It's very interesting."

Xuanyuan Po nodded with a half-smile, "Sure enough, Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder... Oh, no, it's Pan An."

"The king of the county is wrong again." Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, reached out and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Pan An is definitely not as good-looking as him."

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky.

Xuanyuanpo looked at Bai Yutang's calm reaction, and was a little surprised that Ren Zhanzhao didn't get angry when he said it... If this sentence was spoken by the second person, Bai Yutang might have killed that person, Zhan Zhao sure enough In his mind, the status is different.

……

After leaving the teahouse, the two spent the whole day resting in the inn in order to avoid being found out and disrupt their plans.

Zhan Zhao lay down to catch up on sleep, while Bai Yutang sat at the table, studying the music score and other things that the Silver Demon King gave him, many of which he didn't know what to use.

Bai Yutang read it carefully, the music score should be available tomorrow, what's so special about it...

Thinking about it, he subconsciously touched the red coral ring on his left thumb...just touched twice, suddenly...

"Sh..." Bai Yutang waved his hand in pain.

When Zhan Zhao heard the movement, he immediately opened his eyes and looked over.

He saw Bai Yutang taking off the ring and looking at his finger.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao got up and came over.

On the thumb of Bai Yutang's left hand, where the ring was worn, a red mark appeared.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked at his fingers curiously, "How did you get them up?"

Bai Yutang turned the ring over and studied it, and saw that there was a mechanism inside the setting, which looked like a tattoo needle.And the red coral looks like coral on the surface, but it actually contains things like cinnabar paint inside.This time, a red mark about the size of a soybean appeared on Bai Yutang's left thumb.

Zhan Zhao wiped him with a wet handkerchief for a long time, frowned, "It can't be wiped off."

Bai Yutang shook his hand, "Don't bother with it, go back and let Gongsun take a look, if you can get rid of it, get rid of it, if not, I'll burn him in a few days."

"No!" Zhan Zhao quickly waved his hands, "There will be scars!"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "On my hand..."

"You can't even do it with your hands! It's a disfigurement!" Zhan Zhao said seriously.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Is the hand considered a disfigurement?"

"Broken palm!" Zhan Zhao answered seriously.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly—the cat had obviously woken up, so he started to talk poorly.

"That's right." Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "You can't use Juque in the martial arts competition, so what should you do?"

"Just find a sword and use it." Zhan Zhao said that this problem is not a big one.

"If you want to pretend that you don't know me, then my junior brother's identity will no longer work. What identity are you going to use?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Well, I've already thought of a fake name, but I still need to think about the background." Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "My pseudonym is Yin Twelve!"

Bai Yutang couldn't react. After a long time, he asked in puzzlement, "The surname Yin is the Marquis of Sui Yin. I can understand, but why is it called Twelve?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Is the rat the No. 12 zodiac sign?"

Bai Yutang suppressed a smile, "Your name is not Yin Shisan, the cat is No. 13."

Zhan Zhao squinted at Bai Yutang, "Thirteen is so ugly!"

"Twelve is not easy to hear." Although Bai Yutang didn't agree with what he said, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Looking at the two shallow smile lines on Bai Yutang's face, Zhan Zhao felt better. Every time Bai Yutang smiled, especially when he was genuinely happy, there would be two shallow smile lines on the corners of his mouth. You'll be in a good mood when you arrive, pretty mouse!

Bai Yutang reached out and touched Zhan Zhao's head who was in a daze.

Zhan Zhao looks at him.

Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "Be careful when fighting."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid I will lose?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "I'm not afraid of you losing, but I'm afraid that if you are too good, it will be troublesome if Xuanyuan Jie directly picks you away to become a general."

"Wouldn't that be better!" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Infiltrate the army directly to find out information!"

While speaking, I heard a "buzzing" sound.

Zhan Zhao quickly stood up and opened the window, and at the same time a golden shell flew in, Yinhou and Tianzun also arrived, and they shook off the snow before entering the room.

"Huh? Why is it snowing again?" Zhan Zhao looked out, the weather is also considered capricious.

"Beihai is like this, and the climate is somewhat close to Tianshan." Tianzun sat down at the table and asked Bai Yutang how their plan was going.

When Bai Yutang talked about his and Zhan Zhao's plans to enter the palace separately, Tianzun and Yin Hou felt that it was safe, and the success rate was higher than going together.

"It's just right, you keep this." Yin Hou took out a sword from the long bag that he carried with him and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao saw that it was an ancient sword, he had never seen it before, but when he grabbed the hilt and pulled it out, the cold air overflowed in an instant.

"This is..." Zhan Zhao looked at Yin Hou in surprise.

"Sword Slashing Snow." Yin Hou said, "I used a sword before. It is inconvenient for you to use Juque. I will store Juque for you. You can use this one for now. Its attributes, length and weight are similar to Juque. Closest, you should be comfortable with it."

Zhan Zhao nodded and took the sword.

Tianzun was studying the imprint on Bai Yutang's thumb, "Oh, what did the demon king do to make my apprentice lose his appearance!"

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and then at Zhan Zhao, who was nodding aside - thinking the same way.

That night, everyone went to bed early to recharge their energy. The next morning, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao woke up just after dawn... To be exact, they were woken up by a noise.

The two opened a gap in the window and looked out, and saw a very strange scene outside.

I saw people on both sides of the main road.

These people should be the people of Beihai County. Instead of standing, they knelt, with their hands on the ground, as if they were saluting, lying on both sides of the road, shouting "Long live... long live..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and at the same time, they could feel the chill in the air... and snowflakes were flying, but at this time there was sunshine in the sky, so it shouldn't be snowing.

"Cat." Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao, motioning him to look into the distance.

In the distance, a mighty team of chariots and horses approaching.Right in the middle of the silk canopy, the scale is no less than that used by Zhao Zhen when he was on tour. The difference is that none of the outfits that symbolize imperial power are yellow. Among them, it seemed a little solemn.

There are a large number of troops in the front and rear of the chariots and horses. All the soldiers will be in silver helmets and silver armors with white horses and white cloaks, and they are full of energy.

"Is the guard of honor so clean?" Zhan Zhaomo was a little worried, "Xuanyuan Jie puts more emphasis on martial arts than literature, it seems that his troops are very effective in combat."

Bai Yutang nodded, and the two were discussing, but Yinhou and Tianzun didn't move behind him.

The two looked back subconsciously, and saw Yinhou and Tianzun both furrowed their eyebrows deeply, as if they were preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang asked Tianzun.

"Uh..." Tianzun shook his head, "It's not right!"

"Yeah!" Yin Hou also felt that something was wrong, "How could this happen?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, what were they talking about?

"What's wrong?" The two asked together.

"Is Xuanyuan Jie in this carriage?" Yin Hou asked.

"It should be. There is only one emperor in Beihai." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"That's really bad!" Tianzun frowned, "This person is about the same height as me and the old ghost."

Yin Hou also nodded, "This person is suspicious!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, "How is that possible?!"

"It's really unreasonable, but he has such a tall inner body." Tianzun's figure Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said, "You two must not try to plot against him or take risks, because with his kung fu, he can kill you of."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned.

"You two must be careful when dealing with him." Yin Hou touched his chin affectionately, "This internal force is so familiar."

"Yeah, I also feel as if I have encountered it somewhere before." Tianzun said, "It's really strange..."
