Dragon Pattern Roll Set

There was a large banquet in the palace, and it became lively when there were many people. Zhan Zhao and Gongsun didn't like to mix it up very much, they sat at the table drinking tea and chatting about the case.

On the other side of Dadan was a family banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager greeted her, but the officials were actually focusing on Zou Yue. In short, the protagonists were all surrounded in the middle, so what should the people on the outside do.

Gongsun held a teacup and sipped some snacks, feeling quite comfortable.

"Hey."

Zhan Zhao felt someone poking him, turned his face, and saw Lin Yehuo sitting next to him with a cup, and asked curiously, "Where's your white mouse?"

Zhan Zhao said, "He seems to have something."

"Oh..." Lin Yehuo took a piece of snack and put it into Yi Yi's mouth, who stuck to him like a fart, and then asked Zhan Zhao, "Is the haunting real?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, since he was free anyway, so he talked to Lin Yehuo carefully.

While Zhan Zhao was speaking, Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang also came over.

The two of them heard from the shadow guard that Qige's ghost attacked Zhao Pu again, so they came to inquire.

"The soul of Qi Ge attacked Zhao Pu back then, do you know about this?" Lin Yehuo asked Zou Liang.

Both Zou Liang and Ouyang nodded, they all knew that they grew up together.

Ouyang Shaozheng curled his lips, "By the way, that girl Qige is also evil, and she still haunts her after so many years?"

Gongsun seemed to be a little concerned, and asked in a low voice, "What did Zhao Pu do? Miss Ren never forgets..."

Zou Liang and Ouyang Shaozheng looked at each other.

"That's a problem!" Ouyang touched his chin and said to Gongsun, "My lord has always liked that thing since he was a child."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and asked Ouyang, "That thing?"

Ouyang opened his mouth and gestured, "Dirty things."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously wanted to meet Bai Yutang's eyes, turned around and saw the shocked Lin Yehuo, and then realized that Bai Yutang was not there.

Seeing Zhan Zhao looking at him, Lin Yehuo also looked at him, saying - wow!It turns out that Zhao Pu has been recruiting ghosts since he was a child?

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly - Lin Yehuo is also good-looking, but it seems that the mouse is so pleasing to the eye... It's so lonely if he doesn't like it!

Lin Yehuo blinked, and from Zhan Zhao's eyes, he could see a little bit of discomfort?

Lin Yehuo looked back... There was no one behind him.

Zhan Zhao sighed—unhappy that the mouse is gone!

Just as he was sighing, he felt that something was moving under the table, and it was crawling up his lap.

Zhan Zhao looked down, and saw the fourth son crawling up, grabbing Zhan Zhao's knee and "shhh" at him.

Gongsun also saw it, and looked around...he saw the daughters of several palace ministers looking for the fourth son everywhere.

Xiao Liangzi also ran back, covering for the fourth son, pointing to the yard in the distance, saying that the fourth son had gone there.

The young ladies all ran away, and the fourth son heaved a sigh of relief, climbed onto Zhan Zhao's lap, sat down and asked, "Maomao, where is Bai Bai?"

Zhan Zhao leaned against the table, "He thinks it's too busy, so he won't come, he's gone to the White Mansion."

The fourth son pouted, he would not have come if he had known that there were so many people making such a fuss, but recently he found that everyone would pinch him twice, not everyone can pinch the little fat man!Flesh also has dignity, it hurts to pinch!In the future, you will not be allowed to touch it!

Lin Yehuo carefully inquired about Sihailou's situation, and Zhan Zhao also mentioned that the "spider spirit" seemed to have mastered the unique knowledge of several venerables, so...the crowd became even more curious.

Gongsun glanced not far away, Zhao Pu, who was toasting around the group of foreign brothers who came to Beijing with Dadan, who was so busy, asked Ouyang Shaozheng, "You said Zhao Pu recruited ghosts?"

Ouyang nodded, scanned around, saw Eunuch Huang standing beside the Eighth Prince, and waved to him.

Eunuch Huang happily ran over.

This old man has always followed the Eighth Prince, and Zhao Pu was also taken care of by him when he was a child. Sometimes the Eighth Prince was not around, and the five demon kings and one little emperor in the family were all taken by Eunuch Huang, which can be described as "tortured".

Eunuch Huang sat down next to Ouyang Shaozheng, and took the orange handed to him by Xiao Liangzi. He also had mixed feelings, but it was a pity that He Yihang and Long Qiaoguang were still at the border and did not come back... The little demon stars back then have now become generals , My husband also has a sense of accomplishment.

Ouyang put his hand on the old man's shoulder, and winked at him, "Master, Zhao Pu had yin and yang eyes when he was a child..."

"Oh!" The old man was very happy at first, so Ouyang jumped up and waved his hands quickly, "Good luck, didn't the prince see something again?"

"He ran into a ghost yesterday." Ouyang raised his eyebrows.

Eunuch Huang frowned and shook his head, "There's no reason... Didn't you say that you won't see it again after the back of your head grows well after you're eight years old?"

Gongsun wondered, "What bone in the back of the head?"

"When the Ninth Prince was young, his light-colored left eye seemed to be open to the sky, and he could see ghosts!" Eunuch Huang said, "Well... When I was young, I often heard him greet the surroundings inexplicably. Once, the Eighth Prince took him across the street. The bridge, he dragged the Eighth Prince to prevent him from crossing, saying that the bridge was about to collapse. The Eighth King asked him how he knew, and he said what his sister said. The Eighth King asked him which sister he was, and the Ninth Prince pointed to him. After finishing speaking, the bridge really collapsed... The Eighth Prince was terrified, hugged the Ninth Prince and asked his sister what he was like. The Ninth Prince described it, and then the Eighth Prince sent someone to inquire, guess what happened?"

Everyone looked at Eunuch Huang, "What's the matter?"

"In the past, there was a woman who jumped off this bridge and committed suicide." Eunuch Huang shook his head as he said, "Oh! I'm so scared to death!"

Everyone looked at each other, Gongsun frowned, "What does it have to do with the back of the head?"

Zhan Zhao also felt—is he so evil?Which bridge has never fallen off someone? Could it be that Zhao Pu teased the Eighth Prince when he was a child?

"Oh, the Ninth Prince has been attacked by ghosts since seeing ghosts." Eunuch Huang frowned and said, "Once, in the palace, the prince was standing by the river to feed the fish, and suddenly he was pushed away." It's in the river. But every time I don't see anyone around him, that's why the Eighth Prince sends so many shadow guards to follow him all the time."

While everyone nodded, they also reminded Eunuch Huang once again, "The back of the head..."

"Oh!" Huang Gonggong said, "The empress dowager invited a celestial master to catch ghosts. The master showed the prince and said that the bones at the back of his head are different from the softness of ordinary people. When he grows up, the bones will harden. I won't see ghosts again. Sure enough, after the Ninth Prince turned eight years old, he never encountered ghosts or saw unclean things again."

Everyone frowned and nodded, and the colleague looked at Gongsun, what does that mean—is there anything else to say?

Gongsun didn't speak, he stroked his chin lightly as if thinking.

Eunuch Huang chatted with everyone, and then went to work with the Eighth Prince.

Waiting for someone to leave.

Zhan Zhao asked Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang, "Zhao Pu can really see ghosts? I haven't heard him talk about it."

Ouyang shrugged, "It happened so many years ago, and he really seldom mentioned it."

Zou Liang suddenly said, "Actually, we were too young at that time and maybe we didn't understand it very well... Looking at it now, it feels like the prince was attacked by kung fu such as the palm of the hand."

Everyone looked at Zou Liang.

Ouyang thought for a while, then pouted, "It's true, it's very strange that the kid pushed him into the river, do you remember Duoqi?"

Everyone nodded, Duoqi was the former guard of the Eighth Prince and also Duoluo's father.After Duoqi was dismissed and returned to the field, Duoluo continued to take care of the Eighth Prince and keep him safe.When Zhao Pu and the others were young, Duoqi was responsible for the safety of Kaifeng.

"That time when Zhao Pu was pushed into the river." Ouyang pouted, "Lao He said something was wrong, he searched carefully around the river, and then dragged Duoqi to a tree behind where Zhao Pu was standing. I don’t know what I said before. After the Duoqi, many people were sent to look at Zhao Pu... And probably not long after that, the empress dowager invited a fortune teller to tell Zhao Pu’s fortune, and then she got the back of her head. It is said that when the bone grows well, there will be no dirty things.”

Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "Has Zhao Pu been attacked all the time, or only in the palace?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zou Liang thought for a while, "There seems to be some rules."

"For example?" Gongsun asked with concern.

"When we were young, we were able to run from east to west, especially Zhao Puyou. He was born in the palace, but he lived in the desert with the empress dowager before he was three years old. After he was three years old, he came back and lived with the emperor in the Eighth Prince's Mansion. At that time, we gradually became acquainted. "As he spoke, he patted Zou Liang on the head and said, "At that time, he hadn't met him yet."

Everyone nodded, He Yihang and Long Qiaoguang grew up with old general Ouyang, the godfather, the four of them played together since childhood, He Yihang was the oldest and the most stable, but Zhao Pu took the lead.

"During the period from three to five years old, Zhao Pu was sometimes rescued by ghosts and harmed by ghosts at other times." Ouyang Zongjue, "After the age of five, he invited a fortune teller to tell his fortune. From the age of five to eight, we started to frequently I went back and forth between the Northwest and the Central Plains. At that time, I took Zou Liang... After the age of five, Zhao Pu's kung fu was very good, and he didn't meet a ghost again when he was around eight years old. It is said that his bones have grown well."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and asked, "After the age of eight, he spent more time in Black Wind City than in Central Plains, right?"

Ouyang nodded.

Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun, and Gongsun seemed to understand something, so he didn't say anything more.

After looking around for nothing, Gongsun went to find the Empress Dowager alone.

The concubine is not in the front hall at the moment, because Dadan prefers to be quiet, and the father and daughter cherish this rare time alone.

Both the empress dowager and Dadan liked Gongsun very much, they didn't treat him as an outsider, and let him sit and drink tea together.

Gongsun privately asked the empress dowager about Zhao Pu's yin and yang eyes when he was a child, the dowager was amused, and waved her hands and said, "I found someone pretending to be a quack sorcerer as an expedient measure, in order to protect Zelan life."

Gongsun frowned, "Really...someone wanted to kill Zhao Pu at that time?"

"It is true that someone tried their best to kill my son. Fortunately, there is an expert protecting my son so that he can teach him martial arts." The empress dowager sighed, "If it wasn't for that expert, my son would have died a long time ago."

Gongsun could guess who is protecting Zhao Pu—it should be Zhao Pu's master, the mysterious martial arts master in the legend.Gongsun heard Tianzun and Yin Hou talk about it earlier, and from what the two elders said, that person should be a little crazy and slovenly.

"Then can Zhao Pu see ghosts?" Gongsun asked again.

The concubine shook her head, "It's nonsense. Someone wanted to kill Ze Lan, and his master assisted him, but he didn't let him tell others about his existence. Ze Lan asked me what to do, and I came up with this method for him. "

Gongsun understood that this was the case.

"Ze Lan didn't tell anyone, including his best brothers." The concubine quickly explained, "It's not that he was disrespectful or hiding it from his friends. I told him to do so. There were many crises at that time, and they were all children. It would be terrible if those children were dragged down and become the targets of the attack. Just like this, his master, who is so big and expert, can't take care of him. , and that child Yihang is a delicate person, who saved Zelan twice. Hey..." As she spoke, the concubine said with emotion, "If it wasn't for my son's good fortune, he would have been doomed."

Gongsun roughly understood the reason of the matter, so he asked the concubine curiously, "Does the concubine know who ordered Zhao Pu to be killed?"

The concubine frowned, and shook her head at Gongsun for a long time.

Gongsun was taken aback, surprised, "After so many years, the concubine still doesn't know?"

The concubine asked, "Mr. Gongsun, do you have any ideas?"

Gongsun said, "I chatted with Zhan Zhao just now, and we both thought, is it the Empress Liu?"

The concubine smiled and said, "To be honest, sir, until the death of Empress Liu, Ze Lan and I thought it was Empress Liu who did it. Even the emperor, eight kings, and a few courtiers who understood it, everyone thought it was Empress Liu. !"

Gongsun nodded, "When did the attack stop?"

"After Zelan turned eight years old." The concubine said, "I always thought that the person behind the scenes was Empress Liu. At that time, I didn't know about the civet cat changing the crown prince. I always felt that the queen mother was worried about Zelan, fearing that he would take the throne. First line, I made up this step where the back bone grows and the yin and yang eyes disappear, in order to bring this matter to an end. I am afraid that Empress Liu will no longer send people to kill my son, but there will be someone else If we continue to investigate, Ze Lan and the Empress Dowager will be forced to be in the same situation, which is not good... Who knows that the civet cat was replaced by the Crown Prince and the truth came to light, and Empress Liu came to me before she died."

Gongsun was surprised, "Does she have a last word to tell the concubine?"

The concubine nodded, "I don't know if it was because of my conscience, or for some other reason. She told me to go and tell me that she wasn't the one who wanted to kill Ze Lan back then, and she didn't do those things, but she I don't know who did it, and it was mentioned that it should be the same person or the same group as the one who killed Qige."

Gongsun was surprised, "Same group?"

The concubine sneered, "The last sentence Empress Liu gave me was, 'What is hidden in this palace, what is planned, beware! Otherwise, one day, the Zhao family will be buried here'."

Gongsun's eyebrows were deeply frowned, and then he asked the Queen Mother in a low voice, "If someone is really obstructing it, it will always be aimed at Zhao Pu. Why... Empress Liu would say that the entire royal family is endangered?"

The concubine shook her head, "I don't know. At that time, I just thought it was Empress Liu who was resentful, so I said cruel words. Now that I think about it, she might know something, but she didn't explain it clearly."

……

Back in the front hall, the banquet is almost over.

Gongsun found Zhan Zhao and told the matter in private.

Zhan Zhao frowned.

Gongsun asked Zhan Zhao, "What do you think?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "I think the strangest and most suspicious thing is the world."

Gongsun signaled Zhan Zhao to explain in detail.

"One is, when Zhao Pu was eight years old, the attack suddenly stopped, why?" Zhan Zhao said, "The second is Qi Ge's death... Could it be that Qi Ge found an important clue to this matter, and that's why it happened?" I wanted to tell Zhao Zhen, but I ended up dying. And the last time is now!"

Gongsun also nodded, "It's been so many years, why is it now? Is there anything special about this timing?"

Gongsun and Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Zhen and Zhao Pu, uncle and nephew, who were drinking and chatting not far away at the same time...

At this time, Ouyang Shaozheng came over and said to the two, "The walls of the Palace of the Four Seas have been demolished."

Zhan Zhao and Gongsun exchanged a look—the secret might be hidden in the Palace of the Four Seas.

……

Kaifeng mansion.

As soon as Tianzun and Yinhou stepped into the gate, they saw several large pieces of ice thrown in the yard, almost melting.

Yin Hou rubbed his chin, "Did you really figure it out? Who thought it out?"

Tianzun took Yaoyao to Zhan Zhao's yard, and saw a bunch of things in front of Bai Yutang, who was so busy that he took off his coat and was making a show.

Tianzun took a look and smiled.

Yin Hou folded his arms and nodded, "Did he think of it without any hint?"

As soon as the words came out, Bai Yutang, who was busy, said, "Bai Fu reminded me of 'Shuiyuejinghua'."

"Oh..." Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded - that's why.

Bai Yutang looked back at the two of them, "You two didn't even know it?"

Yin Hou smiled, "Didn't you think of it, Zhao'er should praise you for being smart again when you come back."

Bai Yutang blinked, scratched his head and turned back to continue fiddling with that air.

Tianzun ran over to join in the fun, and Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "By the way...have you ever seen someone with blue skin?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou were taken aback, "What?"

Bai Yutang saw that the expressions of the two were different, so he stood up and said seriously, "Blue-gray skin, somewhat transparent..."

Before Bai Yutang finished speaking, Tianzun and Yin Hou's expressions completely changed.

At this time, the sound of the Zen stick came from outside.

Master Wusha walked in slowly, sighed, "Amitabha."

Bai Yutang looked at the three old men puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Yin Hou shook his head and asked Bai Yutang, "Have you seen that man's face clearly? Did he talk to you?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I saw the hand, he passed me by... Who is it?"

Yin Hou shook his head, while Tianzun kept waving his hands.

"You two made it clear." Bai Yutang said impatiently.

Master Wusha said, "That's not human."

Bai Yutang was stunned, then looked at the crowd, "He walked past me, what is it if he isn't a human being?"

"That's a sign of a vision." Yin Hou said.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, the meaning was obvious - you want to fool me?

"Really." Tianzun was rarely serious, "Did others not notice, but you saw it?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, why?"

"Because only you can see it, silly boy." Yin Hou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Bai Yutang was stunned, "I..."

"The fourth son can see the future, and Zhan Zhao can see the past." Tianzun told Bai Yutang calmly, "You can see signs of visions!"

Yin Hou patted the stunned Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Trouble is going to happen! It's going to be big trouble."

Bai Yutang looked at the two of them, and suddenly asked, "Are people or fish frozen in the icy lake in front of my grandfather's house?"

Yin Hou and Tianzun blinked, tilted their heads at the same time, and replied, "Fish!"

Bai Yutang looked at the two of them with distrust on his face, then turned to look at Wusha—monks don't lie!

Master Wusha opened his mouth, turned around and walked out, "Oh, Xiao Linzi hasn't come back yet, I'm hungry as a teacher."

Bai Yutang sighed and glared at Tianzun—lie to me!

Tian Zun looks at the sky - that's Lu Tianhan's doing, not me!Ask your grandpa!

"A sign of vision..." Bai Yutang suddenly put down the tool in his hand and walked outside.

……
