Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

In Jin Qian's impression, it must not be a good deal for someone to enter the palace in the middle of the night!Like last time, Zhan Zhao grabbed his neck and entered the palace in the middle of the night, saying it was to catch ghosts, but he missed the ghost, but ran into a difficult white mouse...

But this time, just looking at the battle in front of the palace gate, Jin Qian deduced that the trouble must be bigger than last time.

Inside and outside the gate of the palace, the forbidden army guards at every five steps and sentry at every ten steps. There are many spears and halberds.

The leading eunuch who came to Kaifeng mansion to deliver the message also had a serious face, stopped in his footsteps and said: "Mr. Gongsun, please follow our family to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Master Zhan and Captain Jin please go to the Xingzhen Building as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, the three of Zhan Zhao were all taken aback.

"To the Empress Dowager's bedroom?!" Mr. Gongsun was surprised.

"Xingzhen Building?!" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"It's inconvenient for our family to say more, Mr. Gongsun will naturally understand when we arrive at the Empress Dowager's bedroom." The eunuch leading the way said to Zhan Zhao with a scorched face, "Master Zhan knows the way to Xingzhen Building?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Of course I know, but..."

The eunuch leading the way cupped his hands slightly, "Someone from Xingzhen Building has reported everything to Mr. Zhan. Please Mr. Zhan go to investigate first, and Mr. Bao will arrive later."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly dragged Mr. Gongsun towards the harem.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, then immediately turned around and walked in another direction. Jin Qian followed closely behind and asked while chasing, "Master Zhan, where is this Xingzhen Building?"

Zhan Zhao originally walked like flying, but when he heard Jin Qian's question, his feet stopped suddenly, he turned his head to look at Jin Qian, and said with a serious expression: "Lieutenant Jin, after arriving behind the Xingzhen Building—you must be cautious in your words and deeds. "

Jin Qian was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly agreed with Nuonuo, thinking to himself:

Look at Mao'er's serious face, is this Xingzhen Tower some kind of incredible place?Leng Gong?Forbidden place?Or a tryst spot?

Secretly guessing in his heart, following Zhan Zhao's five twists, six turns, nine turns and eight turns, his eyes stared at gold stars, and he came to a palace surrounded by many forbidden troops.

Jin Qian raised his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, flashing straight.

I saw this palace building, with vermilion lacquer and red pillars, soaring into the sky, green and emerald glazed eaves, flying pavilions, double doors with golden nails, and carved dragon and cloud walls. Generate twelve points of goodwill.

"Master Zhan!" A slightly excited voice interrupted Jin Qian's admiration.

I saw a person rushing out from among the many forbidden troops, heading straight for Zhan and Jin.

Jin Qian fixed his eyes and found that he was an acquaintance, and it was Master Yuan, the commander of the Imperial Army who was in charge when he met Bai Yutang last time.

"Master Zhan, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here!" Master Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead while nodding to Zhan Zhao frequently, his eyes shining brightly, the typical appearance of seeing a life-saving god, and he almost didn't turn his head towards Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao paid homage, "Please, please!"

After all, before Zhan Zhao could react, he hastily ordered someone to open the door to pull Zhan Zhao in.

"Wait a minute!" Zhan Zhao didn't move, and frowned, "Commander Yuan, is Xingzhen Tower a place where you and I can enter casually?!"

"Master Zhan!" Commander Yuan said with a look on the verge of tears, "The Holy Majesty has already issued an oral order. Don't worry, Mr. Zhan. Please hurry up."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but drag Zhan Zhao, who looked surprised, into the room, and said, "Jin Xiaowei, please."

Jin Qian had no choice but to follow in in a daze. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a refreshing atmosphere that made his whole body comfortable. When he looked up, the bewilderment immediately evaporated into water vapor, which made Jin Qian feel ashamed. Eyes moist, weeping with joy.

Tut tut!Tut tut!God!O earth!The amount of Amaterasu God ah!You really treat us well!

Look at the big bright bead in the middle of the roof, is it the legendary night pearl? !Is this circle of golden pillars plated with gold powder? !Are the piles on the roof pearls? !Are the circles on the wall carved in silver? !Could it be that the piles of boxes and boxes placed around here are filled with gold and silver treasures? !

"OHMYGOD!" Jin Qian blurted out an exclamation involuntarily, shocking the two people in front of them back.

Commander Yuan looked back and broke out in a cold sweat.

I saw Jinqian's pair of eyeballs glowing with green light, like two big lanterns, shining brightly, making a face radiant with brilliance, so as not to penetrate; the whole body trembled as if being upper body by a ghost Not only that, but seeing the left hand stretched forward tremblingly, was pulled back abruptly by the right hand, and then, the right hand wobbled forward again, and was pulled down by the left hand again, suddenly, both hands suddenly raised up, and the figure leaned forward , the green light in his eyes is shining brightly, and it looks like he is about to charge forward.

"Jin, Captain Jin, you are..."

Before Commander Yuan could finish his sentence, he felt a red shadow flashing in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao had already stood beside Jin Qian, holding the back of Jin Qian's neck with one hand, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Jin, be cautious in your words and deeds!"

In the next moment, something even more surprising happened to Commander Yuan.

Seeing Jin Qian trembled all over, the green light in his eyes receded with a whimper, his hands and feet were neatly in place, and he returned to a respectful look, but occasionally a few gleams of green light floated out of the corners of his eyes, reminding Commander Yuan of the scene just now It's not that I'm dazzled.

"Master Zhan, Mr. Jin, this is..." Commander Yuan asked tremblingly.

Zhan Zhao turned his head slowly, the corners of his lips twitched, he closed his eyes and cupped his fists, and said, "Kaifeng Mansion has no way to discipline its subordinates, Master Yuan laughed."

"Master Zhan is serious, serious!" Commander Yuan quickly waved his hands and said, "When Yuan first came to this Xingzhen Tower, he was also amazed and praised... So what Captain Jin said is not difficult to understand, not difficult to understand .”

Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked up: "The night is bright with pearls and moons, pearls are decorated with stars, clouds are painted with silver threads, golden pillars support the sky, and the nine-day star tower is on the first floor. The star tower, it really is better to see it than to hear it..."

"Suck it..."

A dissonant noise interrupted Zhan Zhao's words.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and glanced at his black eyes.

Jin Qian wiped the saliva that was about to hang down his front with lightning speed, put on a teachable look and said: "It's really better to see once than to hear a hundred things..."

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, looked at Mr. Yuan who didn't know what expression to put on, and said, "Xingzhen Tower is where the Holy One hides treasures. Normally, no outsiders are allowed to enter except the royal family. Why today..."

When Commander Yuan heard this, he fell down on his knees with a plop and shouted, "Master Zhan! The lives of the Queen Mother and all the brothers in the imperial army depend on Mr. Zhan!"

"Eh?!" Jin Qian was shocked when he heard this.

"Queen Mother?! Forbidden Army?!" Zhan Zhao was also shocked, and quickly reached out to support Commander Yuan and said, "What happened? Why did Commander Yuan say that?!"

Commander Yuan knelt on the ground and refused to get up. With snot and tears, he said, "Master Zhan, something terrible has happened in the palace! The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has been poisoned!"

"What?!" Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian exclaimed at the same time, their expressions changed drastically.

"Did it ever be said that the imperial physician entered the palace to detoxify?" Zhan Zhao asked anxiously.

"It has been passed on..." Commander Yuan choked up and said, "The three chief physicians of the Imperial Hospital all said that the poison the Empress Dowager suffered from was a strange poison that had never been heard of or seen before..."

"Extraordinary poison?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

Jin Qian twitched, feeling a very bad premonition.

"All the medical officers in the imperial hospital were at a loss. In the end, the national doctor Xu Tai found out from the ancient books that there is a treasure in the world that can cure all poisons, and this treasure happens to be hidden in this Xingzhen Building..."

"Can detoxify a hundred poisons?" Jin Qian narrowed his eyes, and the brain cell search engine started at high speed, and within half a second, a search result popped up, and he blurted out, "Could it be the Azure Dragon Ball?!"

This sentence made Zhan Zhao and Commander Yuan look surprised.

Commander Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Jin Qian with a look of admiration: "It's the Azure Dragon Ball, how did Captain Jin know about it?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, staring fixedly at Jin Qian, causing Jin Qian to feel chills all over his body.

"This subordinate happened to see it in the medical book in Mr. Gongsun's study. It's really a coincidence, a coincidence..." Jin Qian laughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject: "The Azure Dragon Ball is hidden in this Xingzhen Tower. It is really a coincidence. Blessing, the blessing of the Empress Dowager..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Commander Yuan began to cry loudly: "But, but the Azure Dragon Ball is, but it's gone!!"

"What?!" Zhan and Jin exclaimed in surprise.

"Missing?!" Jin Qian's eyes were shattered, and he rushed forward and grabbed Commander Yuan by the collar and shouted, "You said that the Qinglongzhu, which is rare and priceless, is missing?!"

"Jin Qian!" Zhan Zhao yelled heavily, pulled Jin Qian back, then turned his head and said slowly to the terrified Commander Yuan, "Master Yuan, please tell me slowly what's going on. "

Commander Yuan came back to his senses, wiped away his tears and said, "I, I don't know what's going on, Xingzhen Tower has always been heavily guarded, and not even a mosquito can fly in, but, but this evening The sage sent someone to fetch the green dragon ball, but the blue dragon ball disappeared without knowing when. The sage Longyan was furious and said that he would take off the heads of all the soldiers of the imperial army. Returning to Qinglongzhu, we, we are afraid that our bodies have already been decapitated... Master Zhan, Master Zhan, you must save the lives of all the brothers in the imperial army this time..." After finishing speaking, he began to wipe his tears again.

Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Master Yuan, where was the Azure Dragon Ball originally placed?"

Commander Yuan got up in a hurry, took two steps forward, pointed to a box placed on a golden carved stand in Xiaoyun, and said: "Put it in this box."

Jin Qian leaned forward and saw that the body of the box was made of red sandalwood, with patterns of river waves carved on it, which was very exquisite. When the lid was opened, there was nothing inside.

Jin Qian only felt the secretion in his mouth churning, secretly said:

Tsk tsk, just looking at the packaging is enough to make people itch.

Zhan Zhao looked around with his eyes, suddenly, pointing his toes, he turned and flew upwards. In an instant, red shadows flew like lightning, reflecting the brilliant brilliance of treasures in the room. Shicai recovered from his sluggish expression, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, you have great skill."

Zhan Zhao stood still for a while with a serious face, without making a sound.

"Master Zhan, did you find anything?" Commander Yuan asked anxiously.

Zhan Zhao looked at Commander Yuan, and was about to speak when he heard a shout from outside the door:

"The Emperor is here—"

I saw a large group of Hulala people rushing in. The leader was dressed in a bright yellow dragon suit, his face was slightly pale, he was the emperor Renzong; Yin Baozheng, Mr. Bao, behind Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun stood with a dignified face; the person on the right side of the emperor, with silver hair and beard, inverted triangle eyes, and red robe, was actually Grand Master Pang.

Zhan Zhao and the others hurriedly knelt down to greet them:

"Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, sees the emperor."

"The Commander of the Forbidden Army, Yuan Tingli, sees the Emperor!"

"Jin Qian, the sixth-rank school lieutenant of the Kaifeng Mansion, is presenting to the emperor!"

"Pingshen." Renzong's voice was weak, and he fixed his eyes on Zhan Zhaodao, "Have Zhan's guards ever checked the scene?"

"Zhan Zhao has checked."

"Have you found anything?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Zhan Zhao paused, and continued, "Except for the slight looseness of the top glazed tiles, there are no other traces."

"What does Zhanwei mean?"

"I'm afraid someone with excellent lightness kung fu and high stealing skills broke into Xingzhen Tower and stole the Green Dragon Ball." Zhan Zhao replied with his head bowed.

Jin Qian was taken aback when he heard this:

A person with outstanding lightness skills and superb stealing skills?Why does it sound like deja vu... Tsk, my dear, it shouldn't be that "always moldy" and that "playboy" right? !

"Who is so bold?!" Dangchao Tianzi furiously said.

"Subordinates dare not speak nonsense." Zhan Zhao continued to bow his head.

"Hmph, don't you dare to speak nonsense?! I'm afraid Zhan Huwei dare not speak too much!" A neutral voice sounded, it was Grand Master Pang.

"Why did the grand master say that?" Renzong asked.

Grand Master Pang bowed and clasped his fists, respectfully said: "My lord, although I am not from the Jianghu, I also know that there are very few people in the Jianghu who have the ability to enter the palace and steal treasures. Looking at the world, absolutely No more than three or five people. As far as I know, Zhan Huwei happens to know two of them, one is called "Yizhimei" and the other is called "Hundred Flower Boy". ?”

"Zhan Huwei, what the Grand Master said is serious?!" Renzong's voice was obviously filled with anger.

Zhan Zhao lifted his robe and knelt, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, these two people do have the ability to enter the palace to steal treasures, but there is no evidence at this time..."

"Why do you need evidence?!" Taishi Pang sharply said, "Now that the queen mother is poisoned and is in danger, the only hope is the Azure Dragon Ball. At this moment, anyone who is suspected should be arrested and brought to justice so as to track down the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Ball. .”

"Grand Master Pang's words are wrong!" Mr. Bao stepped forward and said, "At this time, there is no evidence and no certificate, how can we arrest people casually, such reckless behavior, where will the law of the country be set?"

Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Don't you care about the Queen Mother's safety?"

"Okay!" Renzong said in a deep voice, holding his forehead, "Bao Zheng listens to the order, and I order you to be here...Mr. Gongsun, how long can the empress dowager's poison last?"

"Report to Your Majesty, within ten days." Mr. Gongsun replied hastily.

Renzong's face became even paler, and he continued: "Bao Zheng, I will order the Kaifeng government to arrest those two people and bring them to justice within seven days, and to recover the Azure Dragon Ball. If there is any delay, I will kill them immediately!"

"Minister—receive the order!" Master Bao could only kneel down to accept the order, and Mr. Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian, and Gongsun also knelt down at the same time.

Grand Master Pang twitched his mouth, rolled his triangular eyes, and suddenly stepped forward and said: "I will report to the Holy Majesty, and I have a copy to play."

Renzong glanced at Grand Master Pang, stared slightly, and said powerlessly, "What else can Grand Master say?"

Grand Master Pang raised broom eyebrows: "I heard that Guard Zhan has a very close personal relationship with those two Jianghu Xiao Xiao, and I am afraid that someone will do it for personal gain..." Speaking of this, he paused intentionally, glanced at Zhan Zhao from the corner of his eyes, and said again , "I would like to recommend one person to help the guards, so that we can find the Azure Dragon Ball as soon as possible and cure the poison of the Queen Mother."

Everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion heard this, and their hearts trembled.

Jin Qian secretly cried out that it was not good, and thought: At this juncture, can the old crab kindly recommend someone to help?fart!He must be looking for someone to find fault and hinder him!Old Bao, this must not let the old crab succeed!

As soon as I thought of this, Lord Bao said: "Your Majesty, the entire Kaifeng Mansion will do their best to find the Azure Dragon Ball, so you don't have to bother the Grand Master..."

"Your Majesty!" Grand Master Pang interrupted suddenly, "The matter of finding the pearl is urgent, and the matter is of great importance. More people will give more help. This minister is thinking of the Queen Mother. I only hope that we can find the Azure Dragon Pearl as soon as possible and help the Queen Mother get back sooner." Recovery day!"

Master Bao just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Renzong: "There is some truth in what the grand master said, I wonder who the grand master wants to recommend?"

"Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army Huang Gan."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Qian heard Commander Yuan beside him gasped.

Just listen to Renzong: "Huang Gan? That's fine, just him."

Grand Master Pang immediately knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Renzong nodded, and said with a tired expression: "Everyone, please kneel down, I have to go back to the palace to see the queen mother..." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

All the people kneeling on the ground got up together, their faces were a bit gloomy, except Grand Master Pang, who staggered up and walked to Lord Bao's side together and said, "Master Bao, Commander Huang is a person appointed by the Holy Majesty. Please take care of me."

Master Bao clasped his fists: "Pang Grand Master, don't worry."

Grand Master Pang sneered and walked away.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion also stepped out of Xingzhen Building.

After walking two steps, Commander Yuan trotted forward, grabbed Zhan Zhao and said, "Master Zhan, that Huang Gan is headstrong, he will get revenge, you...you should pay more attention."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded knowingly.

Jin Qian could hear clearly from the side, and couldn't help asking: "Where did this person come from, that he can be recommended by Grand Master Pang?"

Commander Yuan sighed and said, "I heard that this person's aunt is a distant relative of Grand Master Pang..."

Jin Qian secretly rolled his eyes: "Understood, understood!"

It really is a nepotism as always!

-

Everyone hurried back to the government office, went straight to the flower hall, and summoned the dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu to stand by outside the hall.

As soon as he was seated, Lord Bao went straight to the point: "Guard Zhan, who do you think was responsible for the Xingzhen Tower incident?"

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists together: "My lord, judging from the technique of stealing, it is indeed like the work of a plum blossom or a hundred flower boy, but my subordinates have searched all over Xingzhen's building, but they have not found the white pink plum blossom mark that the two of them often use. Therefore, it belongs to Not sure yet."

Lord Bao frowned, then turned to Mr. Gongsun: "Mr. Gongsun, what do you think of the poison that the Queen Mother has suffered?"

"My lord, the poison that the Empress Dowager suffered from is something that the students have never heard of. The toxicity is peculiar and the veins are strange. After discussing with the medical officers of the Imperial Hospital, the students all thought that only the Green Dragon Ball was the best choice for detoxification."

Master Bao let out a long sigh: "There are only seven days, how should we proceed with this case?"

Mr. Gongsun pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, according to what the students have seen, the people who steal the beads are definitely not looking for money, but come straight to the Azure Dragon Pearl."

"What do you mean by Mr. Gongsun's words?"

"There are countless treasures in the Xingzhen Building, and there are many valuable things among them. However, this treasure thief escaped from heavy defenses, and after a lot of hard work, he only took away one green dragon ball, and did not do anything to the other treasures. It shows that this person steals treasures. To make money."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jin Qian secretly admired it even more, and said in his heart:

Gongsun Zhuzi really has a good opinion, if according to our temperament, we try our best to pull it into the treasure house, even if we don’t come back with a full load, at least we can get seven or eight pieces to be enough. Still a Robin Hood character?

Then I heard Mr. Gongsun continue: "This person only steals the Azure Dragon Ball, I'm afraid there is only one purpose—"

"Mr. Gongsun means—for detoxification?" Master Bao asked.

Mr. Gongsun nodded: "And the solution is not a common poison, but a strange poison in the world. You might as well order the whole country to investigate whether there are people who have died of severe poisons recently. Report it as soon as possible, maybe there will be clues."

Lord Bao nodded and said, "Please trouble Mr. Gongsun to draft this matter immediately."

Mr. Gongsun nodded and continued, "Furthermore, Yizhimei and Young Master Baihua are the number one suspects now, so they must be investigated. Even if these two are not the ones who stole the pearl, with their identities as the kings of robbers in the Jianghu, they will definitely be the suspects." There will be some wind news, so finding out the whereabouts of these two people is also one of the ways."

Master Bao stroked his beard, and suddenly raised his voice: "Where are Dynasty and Ma Han?!"

Wang Chao and Ma Han immediately pushed the door open and entered, clasped their fists and said, "This subordinate is here!"

"The two of you immediately arrange for people to investigate the whereabouts of Yizhimei and Young Master Baihua. If there is any news, report back quickly."

"Subordinates obey."

Zhan Zhao watched Wang and Ma leave, frowned and said, "Mr. Gongsun's arrangement is meticulous, but there are only seven days left, I wonder if we can make it in time..."

Gongsun appeared and nodded: "Guard Zhan's words are true, so I must also ask Guard Zhan to release news on Jianghu. If anyone in the Jianghu has a strange poison, please inform the Kaifeng government. I just hope that it will be safe."

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists: "This subordinate obeys."

Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Bao nodded at the same time, looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Jin Qian.

Jin Qian only felt the eyes of Mr. Gongsun on the opposite side staring at him glowing, he couldn't help shrinking back, and lowered his head: "What do you want Mr. Gongsun to say..."

"Lieutenant Jin." Mr. Gongsun suddenly raised his voice, which made Jin Qian tremble with fright.

"The poison that the queen mother suffered is similar to the poison that Li Butou suffered half a month ago." Mr. Gongsun said slowly, and then he stopped talking, just looked at Jin Qian quietly.

Jin Qian was shocked when he heard the words, and thought to himself: The queen mother's poison is three points similar to Li Butou's poison, and Li Butou's poison is eight points similar to our poison bomb. After conversion, isn't the queen mother's poison similar to our poison... ...It's [-], no, no, it's [-]... Tsk, it's pretty similar anyway!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help feeling chills all over his body, and after muttering for a long time, he finally said: "Mr. Gongsun means..."

"Captain Jin, the poison bomb you usually use..." Master Bao said slowly.

Jin Qian was shocked when he heard the words, his legs went limp, he fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord, the affairs of the queen mother have absolutely nothing to do with my subordinates, if there is even half a word of falsehood, my subordinates hope that the sky will be thundered." Splitting five horses and tearing up corpses and throwing up ashes..."

"My lord!" Suddenly, a voice shocked the last half of Jin Qian's words of loyalty and heartfelt words, and Zhan Zhao suddenly pulled up his robe and knelt down, clasped his fists and said earnestly, "Jin Xiaowei is definitely not a poisoned murderer!" Other people!"

Jin Qian stared at Zhan Zhao with wide eyes, his half-open mouth trembled for a long time, but he didn't make a sound.

Tsk tsk, Mr. Maoer, we just expressed our loyalty halfway, what's the matter with you always showing up to make trouble? !

"Guard Zhan, Captain Jin..." Mr. Bao showed a rare smile on his dark complexion, and shook his head helplessly, "This government is just worried that if others know this, it will put Captain Jin at a disadvantage, so I remind you Lieutenant Jin has been using poisonous bombs more carefully in recent days."

Mr. Gongsun sighed and said: "We are naturally aware of Captain Jin's character, you two don't have to be like this."

"Eh?" Jin Qian raised his head in surprise, looked at Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun, and saw that both of them had a face of trust without the slightest suspicion. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and hurriedly bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "My subordinates thank you, Mr. Gongsun, and Mr. Zhan for your concern."

Master Bao nodded: "You two go down first."

Zhan and Jin folded their fists and retreated.

After leaving the gate of the flower hall, Zhan Zhaoding took a look at Jin Qian, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Jin, those poisonous bombs should not be used these days."

"Your subordinate obeys." Jin Qian hurriedly responded.

After Zhan Zhao walked away, Jin Qian freed his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his neck.

Oh, my dear, this Gongsun Zhuzi's habit of saying half a sentence and leaving a half sentence is really not good, it can really scare a living person to death.However, having said that, the poison that the queen mother suffered from should have nothing to do with us... and the second master... it should have nothing to do with it... and... tsk, wouldn't it have anything to do with the two masters today? What do those men in black have to do with it...

-

For the next day and night, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was sleepless and busy, including Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun who drafted official documents, the four captains and Zhan Zhao who went out to investigate the news, and those who were arrested and responsible for tying creeds to the legs of pigeons. Jinqian and Jinqian, who released the pigeons, were all so busy that they forgot to sleep and eat.

After finally letting go of the last carrier pigeon in Kaifeng Mansion, Jin Qian wanted to take a rest for a while to recharge his batteries, but before he could take action on his idea, he was summoned to the flower hall by Mr. Bao, saying that he had important matters to discuss.

So, everyone hurried to the flower hall again, before they could stand on their heels, they heard someone outside the door announce: "Grand Master Pang, Commander Huang has arrived—"

Grand Master Pang walked in with his round belly swaying three times, followed by a man in imperial guard uniform.

"Lord Bao, I'm bothering you." Grand Master Pang said with his fists clasped.

"Huang Gan, the deputy commander of the imperial army, has seen Mr. Bao." The people behind Grand Master Pang also saluted.

Master Bao replied: "Pang Taishi and Commander Huang don't need to be polite, please sit down."

The three sat down at the same time, and only then did everyone see Commander Huang's appearance clearly.

I saw that this person had a straight figure, fair complexion, broad forehead, square chin, slanted eyebrows, big nose and square mouth. He had good facial features, but there was a hint of hostility between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people look uncomfortable. Very comfortable.

"Lord Bao, seven days have passed, is there any whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Ball?" Grand Master Pang spoke first.

"Master Lao, don't worry." Master Bao said, "It's a pity that there is no news yet."

Grand Master Pang raised his broom eyebrows: "Master Bao, this is related to the life of the Queen Mother, so don't be careless!"

"What the Grand Master said is true, Bao Zheng will remember it carefully."

"I don't know where Yizhimei and Mr. Baihua are?"

"No trace yet."

Grand Master Pang snorted coldly: "Maybe Mr. Bao is fooling this old man!"

Master Bao raised his eyes: "Why did the Grand Master say that?"

Grand Master Pang glanced at the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Huang Gan beside him.

That Huang Gan glanced at Zhan Zhao, and said coldly: "Everyone in Jianghu knows that Mr. Zhan has a close relationship with these two people, but now they say they don't know where they are, isn't it ridiculous?!"

When everyone in Kaifeng Mansion heard this, their faces changed.

Jin Qian was even more astonished:

Tsk tsk, it really is a distant relative of Pang Taishi's family, really hard-shelled and bold!How dare you speak to Maoer in such an aggressive tone, if you let the guys from the Maoer fan club hear it, your brother will no longer have to mess around in Bianliang City.

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Zhan, Yizhimei and Young Master Baihua are just acquaintances by chance, not to mention that they have a close relationship. It's only natural that I don't know where these two are."

Grand Master Pang stared with triangular eyes: "Lord Bao, don't forget that Commander Huang Ganhuang was ordered by the emperor to investigate the Qinglongzhu. If Master Bao doesn't tell the truth, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?!"

Master Bao glared sharply: "Grand Master Pang, what Bao Zheng said is true. If Grand Master doesn't believe it, you can go up and sing it to the sage!" Speaking of this, he stood up abruptly and raised his voice, "Now Kaifeng Mansion is full of green dragon balls. I have done my best in one matter and have no spare energy to entertain Grand Master, Grand Master please come back."

"Bao Zheng, you!" Grand Master Pang stood up abruptly, blowing his beard and glaring at Mr. Bao.

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, send the Grand Master back to the residence." Master Bao's expression darkened.

"Subordinates obey." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stepped forward and said.

"Okay, okay! You bastard, I will definitely play you in front of the emperor!" Grand Master Pang gritted his teeth and walked away.

"Lord Bao," Huang Qian also stood up, his expression a little ugly, "Huang Qian will leave first, if Master Bao has any news, don't forget to inform Huang Gan."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Zhao Hu looked at the backs of the two and said angrily: "Are you here to find fault this early in the morning?"

Mr. Gongsun shook his head and said: "I just came to find out the news, it seems that there is no news from Grand Master Pang either."

There was silence in the flower hall.

"Is there any news from our residence?" Lord Bao asked.

There was another silence.

Master Bao sighed: "Okay, let's all go down."

Everyone's faces darkened, and at the same time, Shi Li stepped back and continued to investigate separately.

Jin Qian left the crowd, wandered around the mansion twice with his head sullen, always feeling restless, and finally ran to squat next to the pigeon shed to feel relieved.

But after squatting for a while, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He jumped up and looked around the pigeon cages, but he didn’t see a single pigeon returning to the cage. He was a little frustrated, stared at the empty pigeon coop and began to complain: “You lazy pigeons, I usually let you enjoy the food and drink spicy food in the mansion. Isn’t it just to raise pigeons for a thousand days and use them for a while. But look at now, dozens of pigeons have been scattered for almost a day and a night, and they haven’t even returned. ?! Tsk tsk, I’m telling you, you’d better be more acquainted and work hard, otherwise we’ll make you all roasted pigeon teething festivals!”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Qian felt a black shadow flash in front of his eyes, and with a click, a roasted pigeon fell from the sky and landed in his hands impartially.

"Little Jinzi, you don't need to bake it, there are ready-made ones here."

A slightly joking voice came, and Jin Qian followed the voice and turned his head to look, only to see a person jumping over the wall, chiffon fluttering, black silk flowing, and a mouthful of white teeth shining in the sunlight, standing in front of Jin Qian He opened the folding fan with a snap, looked at Jinqian's surprised expression with raised eyebrows, and said with a smile, "What? Little Jinzi is not satisfied with the meeting gift from Master Bai?"

"Bai, Baibai Baiyutang?!" Jin Qian exclaimed.

Bai Yutang knocked on Jinqian's forehead with the tip of his fan: "It's been a few days since I've seen Little Jinzi, you are so courageous, now you dare to call Bai Wuye by his name."

Jin Qian was startled, and only then realized that he had called Bai Yutang's name in a moment of shock. He quickly squinted his eyes and laughed, flattering him and saying, "We just didn't expect to see each other for a few days. Bai Wuye's demeanor is so arrogant and righteous." Being bold, ambitious, and unrestrained is even better than before, and I forgot the rules after a moment of admiration, don't be offended by Bai Wuye, don't be offended."

Bai Yutang narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and seemed to be very pleased with Jin Qian's two words of flattery, he shook his head and said, "Little Jinzi is good at eloquence."

"Fifth Master Bai is absurdly praised." Jin Qian flattered him, "I don't know what is the purpose of Fifth Master Bai's visit to Kaifeng Mansion today?"

"It's nothing important," Bai Yutang said with a raised eyebrow and a smile, "It's just that in the past few days I found that there are many pigeons in the sky above Bianliang City for no reason, so I grabbed a few of them and made them roasted. Try it out, Little Gold."

"Thank you, Bai—" The tone of the voice changed, "Pigeon, pigeon?! Or caught from the sky above Bianliang City?!" Jin Qian's face changed drastically, and he quickly lowered his head and turned over the pigeon in his hand to examine it carefully. It doesn't matter, Jin Qian was so shocked that he almost lost his breath.The copper ring tied to the pigeon's leg was engraved with three words: Kaifeng Mansion, isn't it the Kaifeng Mansion carrier pigeon released by Jin Qian before.

"Bai, Fifth Master Bai, I wonder how many pigeons you caught just now?" Jin Qian stared at Bai Yutang, his cheeks twitching.

"It's only about thirty or so." Bai Yutang said leisurely, shaking his folding fan.

Jin Qian felt as if the top of his head had been hit hard by a hammer, and his eyes suddenly stared like gold stars.

Well, you white mouse, there are only more than 60 pigeons in Kaifeng Prefecture, and you have wiped out half of them. No wonder we haven't seen half of the pigeons come back here, and our feelings have been beaten by your white mouse!

"Little Jinzi? Little Jinzi?!" Bai Yutang looked at Jinqian's face turning blue and white, and then knocked on Jinqian's forehead with the handle of a fan, "Why is Xiaojinzi's face similar to that of the villager I met on Wuye Road? Is it okay to contract a strange disease like those people?"

"Bai, Fifth Master Bai, we, we are not a strange disease, we are..." Jin Qian twisted his face and explained, just halfway through the sentence, suddenly paused, a flash of lightning struck in his head, and suddenly Grabbing Bai Yutang's collar, he asked anxiously, "Did Fifth Master Bai just say that he saw someone suffering from a strange disease?"

How could Bai Yutang expect Jin Qian to have such skill, he was so startled that he couldn't dodge, Jin Qian grabbed his collar but couldn't break free, so he leaned back and explained, "Fifth Master, I did see People in a village are suffering from a strange disease, and their faces are green and white..."

"What other symptoms?" Jin Qian moved forward again, staring at Bai Yutang and asked anxiously.

"Also..." Bai Yutang's spine was chilled by Jin Qian's stare, he leaned back frequently, and said with a slight side of his head, "I heard that the pulse is still a bit weird..."

"anything else?"

"I also heard that the precious medicinal materials in the nearby medical center always disappear for no reason..."

Jin Qian's thin eyes were shining brightly, and his heart was turning a thousand times:

A villager suddenly suffers from a strange disease, a strange pulse, and precious medicinal materials disappear for no reason... Isn't the combination of these three things the necessary conditions for the appearance of Qinglongzhu and Yizhimei? !It really pays off, the white mouse really didn't eat these more than 30 carrier pigeons in vain, and brought such an effective message.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian looked at Bai Yutang and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really easy to find nowhere to find!"

"Jin Qian!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout from behind. The anger, tone, and voice were all very familiar.

Jin Qian and Bai Yutang turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw that Zhan Zhao was wearing a red official robe, his sword eyebrows were erected, his starry eyes were condensed, his straight posture was like a sharp blade unsheathed, and his evil spirit was overflowing.

"Master Zhan?" Jin Qian was a little puzzled.

Um?What's wrong with this cat?You're fine this morning, so angry right now?Wait a minute, this cat's eyes seem to be shooting at our... our hands... our hands seem to be still clutching...

It was only then that Jin Qian realized that his current posture looked like a pedant who was trying to molest a beauty by grabbing her clothes—and in terms of appearance, the white mouse could indeed be called a beauty—in short, the scene was very Has a shocking effect.

"Master Zhan, please don't..."

Jin Qian's hands and feet were stiff, and he was about to explain, but Bai Yutang's reaction was much faster than Jin Qian's. He turned around and shook off Jin Qian's hands, busy
