Dragon Pattern Roll Set

At noon, someone came outside Zhao Pu's camp to ask for an audience.

When someone led them in, Zhao Pu was a little puzzled, but it was Nangong Ji who came.

Zhao Pu was a little puzzled, and asked him, "The emperor even sent you out? What happened?"

"It's about the suppression of Xixia and the royal family of the Liao Kingdom." Nangong took out Zhao Zhen's personal letter and handed it to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu opened it and looked at it, feeling a little strange, raised his head and asked Nangong, "Are you sure the news is reliable?"

Nangong nodded.

Zhao Pu was a little curious, "Where did the emperor get the news that even I can't get it?"

Nangong slightly raised his eyebrows, "The emperor said that the heavenly secrets must not be revealed."

Zhao Pu thought for a while and realized, "Oh...someone is going to talk to him about business."

Nangong smiled without saying a word.

"Tsk." Zhao Pu frowned slightly, "So the opponent's bluff will soon be exposed, in other words...the opponent must deal with Xuanyuan Jie as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a waste of success?"

"I'm here to send a message." Nangong shrugged slightly, "That's right..."

Saying that, Nangong untied another burden and handed it to Zhao Pu, which contained a brocade box.

Zhao Pu just wanted to open it, but Nangong said, "It's not for the prince."

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Who is that for?"

"The emperor heard that it will be the birthday of Shaoxia Bai's father in a few days, so he brought a birthday present and asked the prince to pass it on." Nangong smiled again.

Zhao Pu sounds fresh, there is no emperor to send congratulatory gifts to any courtier's birthday, let alone just a commoner...

Reminiscing that Zhao Zhen seemed to have visited Bai Yutang's parents before, and Lu Xueer invited them all to Yingxue Palace before, is there some mystery?

After Nangong sent the message, he hurried back.

As soon as they left, Gongsun and the others asked Zhao Pu curiously, "What's the clue in the letter?"

Zhao Pu showed the letter to everyone—it turned out that Zhao Zhen got the news from nowhere, that the imperial families of Xixia and Liao were suppressed, it was just a hoax.Of course, it wasn't that Li Yuanhao and the Yelu clan went to war with Beihai to deceive Zhao Pu, but these two were also deceived.

Some members of the Liao and Xixia royal families said they were threatened, and then some people disappeared, so that the imperial power was sidelined, causing panic in the court.Li Yuanhao and Yeluqi didn't know where this force came from, but later learned that it came from Beihai.Like Zhao Zhen, they checked Beihai's strength on the surface.The clues he got were the crazy number of recruits in Beihai, and the legendary cruel, wise and ambitious Xuanyuan Jie.

But now, in the eyes of everyone, it's a bit ridiculous... Cruelty is cruelty, but wisdom is hard to say. Xuanyuan Jie is a standard patient, right?Almost insane.

Sometimes it is easier to fool a smart person than a fool, because most smart people think of others as smart as themselves.

Li Yuanhao and Yeluqi were too smart, they were fooled for a while because they wanted not to startle the enemy and let Zhao Pu stand out... In fact, it was just that they had a few powerful people in the country seeking power and colluding with outsiders.And this outsider... should be Xuanyuan Po.

After reading the letter, Gongsun asked Zhao Pu, "Xuanyuanpo saw that the time is ripe, did he talk to the emperor about the terms of exchange?"

"Maybe, I'm only in charge of fighting. Since Zhao Zhen asked me to cooperate with Xuanyuan Po, he said that Zhao Zhen can accept the conditions he offered." Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, "Looking at the current situation in Beihai, or change the emperor, Otherwise, the country will be subjugated. Xixia and Liao should also be willing to change their emperors. Otherwise, once the country is subjugated, millions of refugees will not be able to bear it, and they will all rush into their homes. And the eight princes will return to Futu City It's like going to force the palace, as long as Xuanyuan Jie dies, they should immediately support Xuanyuan Po to inherit the throne."

"There is no dispute between the princes?" Gongsun was puzzled.

"It should be a good fight, and their internal fighting is not good for Beihai." Zhao Pu put down the letter, "The most urgent thing is the last sentence in the emperor's letter."

Gongsun put down the letter, and Zhao Zhen's last sentence was - Xuanyuan Jie's martial arts are too high, it is too difficult to kill him, there is only one person who can kill Xuanyuan Jie without any effort.

Gongsun frowned, "Xuanyuan Po wants Bai Yutang to assassinate Xuanyuan Jie?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "If you want to subdue Xuanyuan Jie by force, I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of people, and it won't be possible to take the lives of these princes. Even if Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao join forces, there is no guarantee that it will be easy. Kill him at a loss. Unless Tianzun and Yin Hou take action, it will be quite a laborious task. But if Bai Yutang gives Xuanyuan Jie... especially at night when Xuanyuan Jie turns into Bai Ling'er, it will be in his diet Put some poison or plot against him...the chance of success is almost guaranteed."

After hearing this, Gongsun couldn't help frowning.

Lin Yehuo also curled his lips, "Hey, when you set up this strategy, did you consider that the person who will be executed is Bai Yutang? If Bai Yutang is willing to poison people or plot against others, then it is not Bai Yutang. He has a high heart. He prides himself on being upright, if this matter gets out, how will you let him mess around in the future?"

Zhao Pu also held his chin, "It seems that Xuanyuanpo has the ability to coerce Bai Yutang to do this by threatening Zhan Zhao. But he doesn't seem to want to do this, so he went to negotiate with the emperor to let the emperor approve We can persuade Bai Yutang, or skip Bai Yutang directly, and ask Tianzun to help. As long as we can kill Xuanyuan Jie with the minimum casualties, we will be done. This is actually the same as the purpose he asked us to cooperate with him at the beginning —to usurp the throne for him.”

"In the beginning, it was just saying that Bai Yutang should mess up the royal family in Beihai, and then find out the strength of Beihai, and then help Xuanyuan Po usurp the throne, but he didn't say that he should go to Beihai first, and the mad Xuanyuan Jie would kill eight of his own for him. Son. Then let him poison Xuanyuan Jie to death, so as to help Xuanyuan Po usurp the throne!" Lin Yehuo felt that it was unreasonable, "Isn't this letting Bai Yutang eat dead cats? One of you is for the stability of the dynasty and the other is for the safety of the people. He went out for a trip and worked hard, and he was unkind and unrighteous, and took a few lives? Bai Yutang helped you in Kaifeng Mansion for Zhan Zhao, you can't use him like that, can you?"

Zhao Pu hurriedly waved his hands and shouted wronged, "Wow! Don't make it seem like I'm helping to plot against him, okay? Xuanyuanpo is the only one plotting against him from the beginning to the end, okay? At the most, the emperor came to push the boat along the way, but I took it He's a brother, I just found out, so it's embarrassing!"

Gongsun patted him on the shoulder, which means - hey excited, no one said you cheated brother.

"Eh? Speaking of which..." Zhao Pu had a second thought, picked up the brocade box and looked at it, "Usually the emperor would not be so arrogant to ask Bai Yutang to help in such a way. Human beings pay attention to reciprocity, and Tianzun saved him One life, if Bai Yutang helps so much this time...could this brocade box be a thank you gift?"

Gongsun came over, "What's in the brocade box?"

"Open it and have a look." Zhao Pu wanted to open the box, but Gongsun pressed his hand, while Ouyang and Zou Liang also held him.

He Yihang looked at him with admiration, "Can you watch it? Is it bullying?"

"Are you really messing with me? Why are you so honest?" Zhao Pu curled his lips, "I know, as long as we don't say no, it's fine, and besides, Nangong didn't say that we won't let him see it!"

Everyone looked at each other and were a little curious.

Ouyang and others let go.

In the end, Gongsun couldn't help being curious and let go.

Zhao Pu opened the brocade box... There was an egg in the box.

Zhao Pu looked at it for a while, then closed the lid silently, and looked at the surrounding people.

Gongsun touched his nose.

Zhao Pu felt that his eyes might be dazzled, so he wiped his eyes and opened them again, but it was still an egg.

"Zhao Zhen's brain is rusted?" Zhao Pu picked up the egg and looked left and right to make sure—it was really an egg!

"Why do you give someone an egg as a birthday gift?" Zhao Pu was dissatisfied, "It's a good thing I didn't give it, otherwise I wouldn't have been laughed to death!"

"This egg seems very heavy." Gongsun weighed the egg and frowned, "Why does it feel so cold and so hard? It looks like a stone."

Zhao Pu was puzzled.

Wusha, who had been meditating on the sidelines without speaking, suddenly opened his eyes, and then ran over with his mouth wide open, "Oh! It turned out that this thing was with Zhao Zhen, and I haven't seen it for 100 years."

Lin Yehuo was puzzled, "Master, what is this egg?"

"This is not an egg." Wusha carefully took the egg over and placed it vertically on the table.

Not to mention, the egg stood still and hasn't been poured yet.

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang both leaned over to take a look... I saw that Wusha tapped the egg shell three times with his fingers, and then... saw several cracks appeared on the egg.

As part of the crack became concave and part protruded outward, the shape of the egg changed. Afterwards, the egg opened...and it shone golden in an instant. It turned out that the inside was pure gold.

After the egg was opened, a golden bowl rose inside, with intricate carvings and a base of hundreds of flowers, each of which was different, so small but so realistic.Among the flowers, a golden butterfly rose up. The butterfly's wings were inlaid with blue gems as thin as onion wings...the wings were still flapping gently.This is so lifelike that the feet with thin hair are carved out, and they can move.Under the butterfly, there is a young man leaning against the flowers and reading a book.The leaves of that book are made of white jade, also as thin as a cicada's wing, and there are black writing on it, which seems to be micro-carved, densely packed, I don't know what is written.

Everyone opened their mouths—one or two seemed like idiots who had never seen the world, completely admiring the ingenuity of such things.

Even Grand Master Pang, who was used to seeing the market, opened his mouth wide, "What is this! I have seen countless treasures, this is the first time I have seen such a strange thing!"

Wusha stretched out his hand, and lightly pressed one of the butterfly's whiskers, and saw that the book in the boy's hand turned upside down.

When the book was finished, Wusha lightly pressed the butterfly's head again...the butterfly retracted its wings and retracted slowly, and the egg also retracted as before, and finally, it changed back to the ugly egg just now.

The fourth son cupped his face, "It feels so valuable!"

Xiao Liang nodded aside.

Zhao Pu carefully put the eggs back into the brocade box and quickly covered them, and asked He Yihang to find ten or eight more brocade boxes to put them on, so as to save the eggs from being broken and have no place to repair them.

"God monk, what is this?" Gongsun couldn't help asking.

"Haha, this is not a valuable thing." With Wu Sha's words, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Wusha waved his hand, "About 100 years ago, there was a technician who specialized in this kind of gadgets with mechanisms, known as the master Zhu Lai, he likes to make this kind of gadgets the most, and there are more complex mechanisms than this. I've seen this egg before. It's a toy made by Bai Yuelin, a wealthy man in Jinhua Prefecture, for his children... Well, counting the age, Bai Yuelin should be Bai Yutang's great-grandfather, that is, his father Bai Xia's grandfather."

Everyone looked at Wusha.

Zhao Pu sighed, "Hey, it seems that Bai Yutang is not rich in this generation? He has been rich in generations."

"Bai Xia didn't care about doing business. Bai Yuelin was richer than the imperial court at that time, and he was known as the richest man in the world." Wu Sha said, "We met him when we were young, and we were drinking buddies. Tang looks a bit like him, but not like Bai Xia. Yutang's father is funny, his skin was dead when he was a child."

"So," Zhao Pu put the brocade box into another brocade box brought by He Yihang, and asked Zhe Ying to put it away carefully, "Is this a family heirloom of the Bai family?"

Wu Sha shrugged, "Maybe, but if Bai Xia can receive such a congratulatory gift on his birthday, he will definitely be happy."

Everyone nodded - Zhao Zhen really put his mind to it, but...

"Does this have anything to do with you persuading Bai Yutang to do something you don't want to do?" Lin Yehuo tried his best to drag back the off-track discussion.

Everyone also held their chins and thought about it—it seems, indeed... irrelevant!

"Is there no other solution?" Ouyang crossed his arms and asked, "For example, capture Xuanyuan Jie alive?"

Everyone shook their heads, the price of catching him alive is much higher than killing him, he is so good at it, where can we lock him up?

"Let Tianzun and Yin Hou abolish his martial arts?" Zou Liang asked.

Everyone thought it was feasible, but Wusha shook his head, "Don't forget that Xuanyuan Jie learned the inner strength of demons, unless he dies, the inner strength will not be abolished!"

Everyone frowned.

"Or else?" Gongsun smiled and leaned over, "Let me cure him?"

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun speechlessly. Gongsun was obviously very interested in Xuanyuan Jie's strange disease.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either." Lin Yehuo folded his arms, "As I said, it's useless to trick Bai Yutang any way you want, Bai Laowu is so smart, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, it's better to let him do it Fight Xuanyuan Jie and kill him."

Wusha gave him a sideways look, "Bai Yutang's kung fu can't beat Xuanyuan Jie at all!"

Lin Yehuo was dissatisfied, "Then add Zhan Zhao."

"What if they are injured?" Wusha glared at him.

Lin Yehuo was even more dissatisfied, "Anyway, you poisoned Bai Yutang, and since I treated him, he would not die. Even if Xuanyuan Po threatened him with Zhan Zhao, it would be against his will if he did so. I just left and never seen him again...don't get him and Zhan Zhao to be torn apart."

Everyone looked at each other, Master Bao was the first to shake his head, "Oh, that's impossible!"

Ever since, in the barracks, a group of people were overwhelmed by Zhao Zhen's letter, and Zhao Pu's scalp was almost scratched, and he couldn't figure out how to ask Bai Yutang to assassinate Xuanyuan Jie.

On the other side, in the Imperial City of Beihai.

Zhan Zhao smoothed Bai Yutang's hair, poked him with a smile, "That Xuanyuan Luo looks pretty good, don't pay attention to him."

Bai Yutang didn't speak - Beihai used to have a reputation for saving lives, but now it's changed.In the past few days in Beihai, Bai Yutang was not happy at all, and even felt a little guilty.Let's talk about Xuanyuan Jie first.That's right!Xuanyuan Jie is indeed an incurable lunatic, a tyrant by day and a mad woman by night, who killed tens of thousands of people and deserved to die.Bai Yutang sometimes felt that these were a pair of crazy parents who had done all kinds of bad things, and the only way to stop them was to kill them.

Killing Xuanyuan Jie can save the people of Beihai, it would be inhumane not to kill him.But Xuanyuan Jie and Bai Ling'er regarded him as his son and didn't do anything to offend him. It was unjust for him to kill them.So killing or not killing, the result will be inhumane and unrighteous, even if it makes sense, but Bai Yutang can't get over his own test.

Yin Hou and Tianzun saw it and knew he was in trouble, so Yin Hou winked at Tianzun, which meant that we could help him kill Xuanyuan Jie.

Tianzun looks at the sky, that means - no matter who kills Xuanyuan Jie, Yutang will feel bad, in fact it doesn't matter, this trip should not come!

Everyone was silent.

"Speaking of which, why are the people in Beihai so right and wrong?" Yin Hou held a cup and said to himself, "If Xuanyuan Jie's son dies, he will call the other sons back, then Xuanyuan Po sent someone to assassinate him." These princes can do it all, why do they make so much trouble out of nothing, making use of their friends is thankless."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and looked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows at him, apparently - to remind him.

Zhan Zhao said, "Xuanyuan Po wants to expose Xuanyuan Jie's crime of killing the prince to the public, and make him a target...but..."

"There must be someone looking for the reason why Xuanyuan Jie killed people." Tianzun frowned, "So Yutang is the first to bear the brunt."

"Xuanyuan Po is indeed very clever. He has blocked all the roads in front, back, left, and right, leaving only one road for you to go." Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang sneered, "These are not enough to make me listen to him."

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

Bai Yutang said calmly, "He probably still has the biggest bargaining chip in his hand. If I refuse to help him no matter what, he probably has no choice but to take that step."

"What chips?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Tianzun glanced at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou frowned slightly——Bai Yutang was indeed not stupid, since Xuanyuan Po used him, he should have thought of the schemes that would follow one after another.Xuanyuan Po made every move, and Bai Yutang would not blackmail Bai Yutang without a safe method, Bai Yutang knew this.Therefore, the final bargaining chip must be related to Zhan Zhao.

Yin Hou looked at Zhan Zhao who was still teasing Bai Yutang, and felt a little helpless. His grandson didn't know what Bai Yutang was really worried about!Bai Yutang was unhappy, and it wasn't just because of Xuanyuan Luo's little guy prying the corner of the wall in front of him... Bai Yutang's anger was directed at Xuanyuan Po, and Xuanyuan Po was the one he wanted to warn.

Tianzun winked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou also shook his head——Xuanyuan Po probably knew the secret that had passed for a hundred years. If the matter were revealed, Zhan Zhao's future fate would definitely be rewritten. Anyway, no matter what, it was impossible for him to stay in Kaifeng Mansion again... …

Bai Yutang tried his best to smile at Zhan Zhao who was trying his best to smooth his hair, but he was worried in his heart - he had heard Tianzun mention something about Yin Hou before, although time has passed, but taboos are taboos, and some secrets cannot be touched.But Zhan Zhao probably didn't know all of this. If the matter was revealed, he would no longer be a carefree foodie who only cared about solving cases and meddling with other people's business.Zhan Zhao's fate is bound to change. He may be forced to leave the Kaifeng mansion, and will be involved in various interest struggles and vendettas. This is something he will never allow to happen.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Tianzun and Yinhou went behind the screen, Zhan Zhao got up and opened the door, and saw Suyi at the door, "Your Highness, the palace bell rang ten times, and the emperor has summoned him into the palace."

Bai Yutang gets annoyed just thinking about it, and he has to face the abnormal family of Xuanyuan Jie and Xuanyuan Po again, this family is absolutely pure blood.

But there are some things that have to be faced, and there is no way to escape. Bai Yutang is used to being unrestrained, but now he seems to be restrained, with elbows left and right, which always feels awkward.He went out with a knife, and Zhan Zhao wanted to follow.

But Su Yi said, "Master Yin, why don't you stay?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback.

Su Yi said, "Xuanyuan Luo has a persistent personality. If the court officials argue with His Highness, and His Highness is too protective... it will cause the Emperor's dissatisfaction."

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then looked at Suyi.

Su Yi said, "Actually, the emperor has asked me earlier, asking if His Highness likes Lord Yin very much."

Bai Yutang frowned and nodded to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to stay in the room and wait.

Bai Yutang went out, Su Yi wanted to follow, Bai Yutang waved his hand, and said, "I'll just go by myself."

Su Yi nodded.

Zhan Zhao returned to the room, closed the door, and sat down at the table in a daze.

Tianzun came out and drank tea from a cup.

Zhan Zhao raised his head and asked, "Tianzun, what happened to Yutang?"

Tianzun blinked, "Huh?"

"He seems to be preoccupied today." Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out, "Is there anything he can't solve? The matter about Xuanyuanpo just now seems to be halfway through."

Tianzun laughed, the authorities were fascinated, Zhan Zhao never thought that the crux of the matter was actually himself.Reaching out and touching his head, Tianzun said, "It's nothing serious, that's just how he is."

"Really?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Usually he's not that bad-tempered."

"Cut!" Tianzun raised his eyebrows, "Do you think he is smiling at everyone like you? Yutang has a bad temper! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people calling him Shura, saying that he is moody and ruthless."

Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun scratching his head and looking up his face feeling uncomfortable while talking, thinking that it would be too obvious that he was not lying...

Zhan Zhao poured himself a cup of tea, looked up, but couldn't see Yin Hou, puzzled, "Where's Grandpa?"

Tianzun scratched his head and raised his face, "He said he went for a walk."

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched——take a walk? !

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Bai Yutang walked towards the palace unhurriedly, when he felt someone behind him, and looked back... Yin Hou did not know when he was behind him.

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Yin Hou put his hands behind his back, "Shall I help you solve Xuanyuan Jie?"

Bai Yutang smiled and shook his head, "Xuanyuan Po can let us kill Xuanyuan Jie today, and Zhao Zhen tomorrow. Being controlled by others is not a long-term solution, and there will be endless troubles."

"Then even Xuanyuan Po was killed?" Yin Hou asked.

Bai Yutang couldn't help but smile wryly, "Sly Rabbit Three Caves is dead, he must have left a way out. Zhan Zhao is porcelain and he is earthen pot. I have no reason to use porcelain to hit earthen pots. It's not worth it if I don't want to."

Yin Hou nodded, "It doesn't matter that you don't have too many ideas, but you are quite upright, but this is a knot, how are you going to deal with it?"

"The demon king gave me advice, so I will follow my advice." Bai Yutang answered with ease.

"How to follow the plan?" Yin Hou was curious.

Bai Yutang shrugged, "I haven't thought of that yet."

Yin Hou was discouraged, this child is worthy of being raised by the gods, and he has a big heart...

"Uh, Zhao's side, or I'll talk about it..." Yin Hou hesitated for a moment.

Bai Yutang stopped suddenly, turned to look at him, "Grandpa."

Yin Hou was taken aback, scratching his chin—oh, Bai Yutang's "Grandpa" is still very pleasant to his ears.

"There are some secrets, keep them, and you can't tell them even if you die. You didn't let the cat know back then, and you can't let him know today." Bai Yutang said lightly.

"It's not his fault. He can understand. After you find out, you two can discuss things together." Yin Hou was a little worried for Bai Yutang.

"It is said that the eight princes of Beihai are of bad character, and I didn't kill them, but I always feel that they have something to do with me after they died, and I have a lump in my heart." Bai Yutang said, "Maybe this lump will last for the rest of my life. It's all in my heart. The same principle applies to Zhan Zhao, if you didn't do anything wrong, it doesn't mean you don't have to bear the consequences of your mistakes."

Yin Hou nodded, "That's why I didn't tell him when he was a child. I thought that the matter had passed for so long, so it shouldn't be revealed again."

"Then don't tell him now, and make sure it won't be revealed in the future." Bai Yutang put his hands behind his back, "I have a way to deal with it."

"How to deal with it?" Yin Hou wondered.

Bai Yutang continued to raise his eyebrows, "It's just a plan."

"How do you follow the plan?" Yin Hou felt that the question seemed to be repeated.

Bai Yutang smiled, "I haven't thought of that yet." After speaking, Bai Yutang signaled Yin Hou to go back quickly, so as not to be seen.

Yin Hou walked away in a flash, but he didn't go far. He leaned against a tree and watched the white figure on the snow walking towards the majestic Beihai Palace in the distance.

After a long time, Yin Hou smiled with satisfaction, remembering that when he was a child, the Demon King taught him and Tianzun seriously, "One person is not as happy as two people, and two people are not as happy as being alone! When you meet someone who treats you like this , or the person you want to treat like this, cherish it! That is called true love!"
