Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the palace in the afternoon, Zhao Zhen was sitting in the gazebo, and Xiangxiang was sitting beside him on a stone table, holding a piece of colored paper.Eunuch Chen sat beside her, studying with her a blue paper kite that the Queen Mother had folded before.

Zhao Zhen leaned on the pillar of the gazebo, watching the few koi swimming around in the lake.

At this time, Nangong walked in and whispered a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear.

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

Nangong nodded.

"Does Uncle Jiu know?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"General He has already sent someone to inform the prince, and they will arrive today." Nangong replied.

"Hmm..." Zhao Zhen stroked his chin, "It's quite interesting."

Nangong looked at Zhao Zhen puzzled.

Zhao Zhen raised his face and looked at the sky above the garden, "I haven't been to Black Wind City yet... I heard it has been built very well."

Nangong felt his eyelids twitching, and carefully glanced at Zhao Zhen, "Could it be that the emperor wants to..."

Zhao Zhen asked with a smile, "Shall we go to the north for fun?"

Nangong took a deep breath, and said to himself - don't do it, what's the fun...

Zhao Zhen rubbed his chin and said to himself, "It's so convenient for the uncle to send it and send it back..."

While talking, Xiangxiang came to show Zhao Zhen the folded paper kite, climbed onto his knee and asked, "Father, where are you going to play?"

Zhao Zhen held Xiangxiang's face and said, "My precious princess hasn't seen heavy snow yet, has she?"

Xiangxiang opened her eyes wide, "Daxue?"

Zhao Zhen rubbed his daughter and told her how spectacular the heavy snow in the northwest was. Xiangxiang, who had never even been out of the palace gate, opened her mouth wide and looked at Zhao Zhen expectantly.

Nangong and Eunuch Chen looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

……

At this time, a few people came to a small teahouse not far from the city gate of Kaifeng.

These people were all wearing Gaohezhai's clothes, with black gauze wrapped around their arms, the first two were not young, they were the four senior disciples of Gaohezhai who had just lost their junior brother, senior brother Chen Mo and second senior brother Yue Mingming.

These two people looked gloomy and gloomy, Qian Tong died suddenly, and the body was taken away by the Kaifeng government in the name of investigating the case, so there was no way to set up a mourning hall.

"This Kaifeng Mansion is also domineering!" Yue Ming found a chair and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said dissatisfied.

Chen Mo looked at him and reminded, "After all, this place is at the foot of the emperor. There are Tianzun and Yinhou sitting in Kaifeng mansion, so it is not easy to offend. Even the emperor saw it that day, which is an eye-opener."

"The emperor feels that he has a lot of eyes at such a young age." Yue Ming was not happy, "Besides, Tianzun and Yinhou have not met face to face... Besides, is it that powerful? They are both over 100 years old..."

"Tsk!" Chen Mo glared at him, "I don't know how high the sky is."

Yue Ming held his breath.

"Wouldn't it be better for the Kaifeng government to investigate the death of the third child? No matter who kills the third child, he will not be able to escape the guilt." Chen Mo picked up the teacup. What does it matter?"

"That can't be said like that..." Yue Mingming muttered, but felt that what the elder brother said made sense, so he didn't reply much.

"Master doesn't know where to go." Chen Mo worried.

Yue Mingming looked at the left and right sides, and found that apart from Gaohezhai, who was sitting at the entrance, there was only one customer in the entire inn. It was a young scholar, who looked thin, and was sitting at a table drinking tea, without a weapon. , a small bundle was placed on the table.He was drinking tea with his back to them, so he shouldn't be able to hear what they were saying.

Yue Tianming lowered his voice and asked Chen Mo, "Brother, do you think... Master will already..."

"Hey!" Chen Mo shook his head, "Impossible, how could something happen with such a high level of master's martial arts attainments?"

"No matter how high an expert is, he can't hold back someone he trusts to secretly attack, right..." Before Yue Tianming finished speaking, Chen Mo waved his hand and gave him a hard look.

Yue Tianming curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Gaohe Village has been monopolized by Bian Fangrui and his gang for so many years. I originally thought that the position of the leader of the village must belong to him. His side is unharmed, I don't believe it has nothing to do with them."

Chen Mo held the teacup, "Bian Fangrui is just a brave and foolhardy second-generation ancestor, the one who really needs to worry is Bai Mutian."

Yue Ming frowned, "Bai Mutian let the emperor expose his desire to be the village master before. With a narrow-minded person like Bian Fangrui, there will be ghosts in keeping him by his side."

"He is actually a talent." Chen Mo said, "It would be a good thing if he can help us without Bian Fangrui."

"Do you trust him?" Yue Ming shook his head, "This person is unpredictable, brother, you should be careful..."

While talking, a follower came over and said to Chen Mo, "Brother, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are coming this way."

Chen Mo and Yue Mingming looked at each other - why are they here?

At this time... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had indeed left the city gate and walked in the direction of the official road.

What are they doing out of town?

After Qian Tongqian's murder happened before, there were no more clues. They spent a few nights in Kaifeng mansion at night, and the ghost didn't come out again.So the two changed their way to the outside of the city to see if they could meet the old lady who touched porcelain.Of course, Zhan Zhao couldn't rely on luck, he could only pick up corpses, so they also brought Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi with them.

Xiao Wu carried Xiao Si on his back and followed them, Xiao Liangzi walked beside Xiao Wu, followed by Lin Yehuo who was yawning behind him.

These people didn't intend to go into the post station at first, but when they walked near the post station, they were first attracted by a horse tied at the door of the post station.

It was a well-proportioned white horse with a snow-white body of medium size and a red saddle, which was very elegant.It's just that such a beautiful white horse has three long scars from the horse's neck to its chest. Although the wounds have healed up long ago, it still makes people feel shocking.

Everyone looked at the energetic horse, and looked at the three scars, guessing that the horse might have been attacked by wild animals when it was young, and it survived the catastrophe, leaving scars.

The horse was drinking water, looked up at the crowd, blinked its big eyes, looked a little curious, flicked its tail, and continued to drink water with its head down.

From the look in the horse's eyes, everyone can tell that it is not only a good horse, but also a smart horse.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled when he saw a silver stick hanging from the saddle... The stick was about five feet long, a little shorter than Bai Yutang's long knife, but it had no blade or point, just a big A long stick the thickness of a thumb.There are fish scales and wavy hollow patterns on the silver pole, which spirals down the pole. One end of the pole is slightly thicker, which should be a handle, and the other end is very thin, like chopsticks.

Zhan Zhao studied the pole while walking, wondering what is it for?Fishing rod?Someone made a fishing rod out of a metal rod?How tiring to hold it...

Zhan Zhao kept looking in the direction of the station, so he saw Chen Mo and Yue Mingming in the station at a glance.

Gently bumping his arm against Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao said, "Have a cup of tea before leaving."

Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo, who was yawning, looked into the post station, and then they both went in.

The clerk cleared the table when there were guests, and Zhan Zhao bowed his hands to Chen Mo and Yue Mingming when he entered the door, "My condolences go with the flow."

The two old men got up to return the salute and asked about the progress of Zhan Zhao's case.

Zhan Zhao said that the investigation is still underway, the autopsy is over, Gongsun did not destroy the corpse, if necessary, he can send the corpse to another hospital, let them set up a mourning hall to pay homage.

The two old men nodded their thanks and asked their subordinates to go to Kaifeng mansion immediately to pick up the body of their third senior brother.

The inn was not big, there were only four tables, and three of them were already occupied, so Zhan Zhao and the others had to sit at the table opposite to the scholar drinking tea with his back to the door.

The fourth son climbed onto the table and was attracted by the scholar opposite.

The scholar looked about 25 or [-] years old, with some light-colored moles on his fair skin, his appearance was delicate and elegant, and he was very pleasing to the eye.

The fourth son tilted his head and looked at the scholar, but the scholar didn't look at him, but looked at the other side with his teacup in his hand, as if he was in a daze.

Xiao Si tilted his head and looked at the man's eyes... The man's eyes were dark brown, similar to most people's, but the pupils of his eyes seemed larger than others, so the color of the eyes appeared darker .

The fourth son was watching intently, the man also turned his face and looked at the fourth son.

Xiao Sizi blinked, Xiao Liangzi gently tugged on his sleeve, and whispered, "Jin'er, do you know that person?"

The fourth son shook his head.

Xiao Liang said, "Then don't stare at him like this."

The fourth son scratched his head, sat down obediently, and glanced at the scholar again.

Zhan Zhao also took a look at the scholar, the horse at the door should not belong to someone from Gaohezhai, so the "fishing rod" belonged to this scholar?

Lin Yehuo held a teacup and asked Chen Mo, "Did your village master find it?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

Lin Yehuo asked, "How many days has it been, and there is no news at all?"

Chen Mo and Yue Ming sighed.

Bai Yutang didn't speak, but he glanced at the scholar.

Like Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao also cared a little about the scholar - because he found that the scholar was listening to them.

"Master Zhan."

At this time, Chen Mo asked, "Have you ever thought that the murderer of my third brother may be inside Gaohe Village?"

As soon as Chen Mo said that, Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "Is there anyone you suspect, senior?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "My third younger brother doesn't usually have any enemies. I really can't think of outsiders who want to kill him. But it's a life-and-death struggle within Gaohe village to snatch the position of the village master... I'm not afraid of my family scandal. If you want to investigate the case, you can go to Gaohe Village to look for clues."

"Speaking of Gaohe village." Zhan Zhao asked suddenly, "Do you guys know why your village master likes kapok so much?"

Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, apparently surprised by Zhan Zhao's question.After all, he is the apprentice who has been with Biansheng for the longest time, so he nodded and said, "When I followed my master, he already liked kapok, and he must grow kapok everywhere he lives. Flowers can keep you safe."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook his head - although he has studied flowers a bit, he has never heard of the saying that kapok can keep people safe.

"Where are you two going?" Lin Yehuo asked.

Yue Ming said, "Let's go out of the city to find out if there are any clues about Master."

We were chatting here when we heard a scream from outside.

The guy who was standing at the door feeding Majia fodder seemed to have seen something terrible, and shouted inside, "Master Zhan!"

Without him shouting, Zhan Zhao has already rushed out.

There are many post stations and tea sheds on this official road, and there are many people coming and going. At this moment, the cars and horses in front are running here as if they are fleeing.

Zhan Zhao jumped onto a tea shed and looked into the distance, speechless - he saw two men in black with golden ghost masks at the back of the crowd, attacking passers-by with weapons.
