Wait a minute, heroine

At dawn, a cavalry team entered Langxuan City, led by Du Tanqing, the intelligence chief under King Zuo Xian, followed by Cao Aning and others.

Compared with the past few days, Cao Aning's status has undergone earth-shaking changes. King Zuo Xian clearly showed his appreciation for Cao Aning when he stepped on it. This also made Du Tanqing no longer able to speak like a superior. They even walked side by side when riding horses to avoid being retaliated against by bad luck in the future when the newcomer came to power.

However, although Cao Aning has a dark heart, he has always been upright on the surface. He is not arrogant when he is appreciated. He deliberately slows down half his body to follow, and still modestly asks for advice:

"The prince has arranged for us to trace our whereabouts. How will it work? If we are discovered by the Night Terror Hall, we are afraid..."

Du Tanqing rode at the front, scanning the landscape of Langxuan City, and responded:

"Today King Gouchen will launch an attack and force the Dongming tribe to change its clan leader, and add 20% to the annual salary to apologize to the palace. The Dongming tribe will definitely not agree. As a descendant of the Qinchi tribe, Ye Jingtang should speak out. Let's first Find out the information and wait for the experts hired by the palace to handle it..."

After listening carefully to the action plan, Cao Aning nodded thoughtfully and glanced at Xu Tianying who was following him.

Xu Tianying was originally the boss of Cao Aning and others, but he was not very eloquent. Now he has almost become a follower. He nodded slightly, followed for a while, and then left the team alone by taking the opportunity to disperse into the city to gather information...

——

Inside the headquarters of Dong Ming Department.

In the early morning, noisy voices could be heard outside the tent.

In the bedroom, Pei Xiangjun lay on his side on the pillow, with the thin quilt draped under his armpits, revealing his fair arms and half of the white circles on his chest. He still slept soundly with his eyes closed.

Ye Jingtang was lying behind him, his left hand wrapped around his waist and holding on to the big watermelon that he couldn't control with one hand.

Although she was already awake, she was still a little reluctant to wake up when the warm and soft touch came from her palms. She just hugged Sanniang and felt the delicate touch from her skin.

After Master Xuanji's body became inexplicably hot last night, Ye Jingtang stayed outside the tent for two-quarters of an hour, and he didn't feel relieved until nothing serious happened; because he didn't dare to sleep in the same room with Sister Shuishui, he finally came to Sanniang Here, I successfully woke up the sleeping Sanniang.

Although he didn't want to disturb Sanniang's rest, Sanniang was already awake, so how could she not satisfy the man who slipped into bed in the middle of the night.

Then he struggled for another half an hour, and it was Sanniang who took the initiative and refused to allow him to move. She was so exhausted that she didn't even wake up yet.

Ye Jingtang waited behind him for a long time. It was not until the sound of people from the Dongming tribe moving outside was heard that Sanniang's eyelashes in front of him moved. Then he woke up with a start, looked up at the tent door curtain, and then turned around:

"It's already broad daylight, why didn't you call me?"

"I see you haven't woken up. It's okay. You can sleep a little longer while I go out and do some work."

Pei Xiangjun had arranged everything for the hall masters, and there was really nothing to do during the day. In addition, she was the one who took the lead yesterday, and her waist was sore, so she didn't persist, but she still held herself up and helped Ye Jing Hall get dressed.

Ye Jingtang sat in front of him. After putting on a black robe, he wanted to give her a good morning kiss.

As a result, Sanniang felt very sorry for him, so she knelt down and sat up, with her upper body naked, and directly hit him with her head in her arms, letting Ye Jingtang bury him in it to refresh her mind. Then she held her cheeks and chewed, and then patted her shoulders:

"Okay, go out quickly. There are many people outside during the day. Don't come in again. If people hear me, I won't be able to live here."

Ye Jingtang touched his cheek, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. He pushed Sanniang to lie down and covered her with a thin quilt before turning around and leaving the tent.

There were fewer tribesmen in the Dongming tribe's camp than before. Dongfang Liren, who got up early, probably knew who was sleeping in the Night Terror Hall, so he didn't bother anyone. He went to the Wuma tribe's camp not far away early in the morning. Wanting to find a peerless horse that is not inferior to her sister, Xuanji will act as a guard to follow her.

After Ye Jingtang washed up, he went to Du Yunli's room to look for birds, and found several beautiful girls practicing singing and dancing in the open space between the tents.

Xiao Yunli is also among them, her appearance is very outstanding, it can even be said that she is beautiful and smart, and she is more beautiful than any other. She has the feeling of "hidden beauty in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her voice and smile reveal her gentleness". However, her clothes are very quaint, and she blends in among the colorful girls. It's very eye-catching, and the dancing manner is surprisingly good.

Bird lived up to expectations and slept like a piglet in the morning. He was placed on a resting futon and didn't react at all to the noise next to him.

After Ye Jingtang glanced at it, he realized that there were too many strange girls, so he would definitely disrupt the situation if he joined in, so he watched and admired it from a distance. As a result, just after watching for a moment, his ears twitched slightly and he heard a conversation in the distance:

"Where's Li Ren?"

"Went out at dawn."

"Why don't you call me me?"

"My queen always gets up late, am I afraid of disturbing her rest..."

…

Ye Jingtang was worried about the Queen Mother's injury, but it was too late yesterday to disturb her. When he heard someone was there, he turned around and came to the center, and saw two people in front of Li Ren's tent.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was indeed a little weak, but her demeanor was still very noble and majestic. Her left hand was supported by ruby, and she was strolling slowly in the sunshine.

Ye Jingtang came forward and bowed his hands:

"The Queen Mother."

"Hey, Jingtang."

Seeing Ye Jingtang emerge from the hall, the Queen Mother's eyes brightened up. She walked slowly to the front and looked up and down:

"I heard that you got into a fight again when you went out, were you not injured?'

"I'm fine. The medicine man who can relieve the imprisoning dragon miasma has been found, and we also have clues about the golden scale diagram. The empress will be safe and sound in a few days."

After Ye Jingtang said the good news with a smile, he walked beside the Queen Mother, thought for a while and asked again:

"Have you learned how to draw the Queen Mother's bathing in fire?"

"..."

The Queen Mother has been practicing the authentic bathing in fire diagram for many years. She is almost in the Mahayana stage. Her recovery ability is so strong that she even has a headache. She definitely doesn’t need to learn it anymore.

However, she finally came out and said that she was safe and sound. Maybe nothing would happen to her. For this reason, she still said very reservedly:

"It's a bit obscure. I don't understand it well, but I still learned a little. My body is quite stable now and I think I won't die. You don't have to worry too much."

Ye Jingtang nodded: "That's good. If you can learn the bathing in fire diagram, you can learn other diagrams. As long as you get the golden scale diagram, you can ensure recovery even if you can't find the antidote. After finishing the trivial matters at hand, I will take the Queen Mother to Hongshan in Liangzhou to see the doctor obtain the Golden Lin Picture..."

Go to Hongshan...

When the Queen Mother heard that she was going to the secluded place of the Prince and the Queen Mother in Queen Marie's Secret History, she immediately became energetic, but she was also a little worried - she was not sure whether she could survive to Hongshan!

What if Prisoner Dragon Miasma fails to live up to expectations and fails halfway?

"Um...when should we go there?"

"Something happened two days ago and caused trouble for the Dongming Department. It will probably take two days. Don't worry, Queen Mother, the poison will definitely be cured. I will guarantee it with my head..."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm just worried that you won't have any time to rest after being busy and your body will be exhausted. Well...I know, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled. It was okay anyway, so he took the Queen Mother for a walk in the residence to recover, and even took a look at the place where Xiao Yunli was dancing.

The Empress Dowager is not very young. The Empress ascended the throne ten years ago. She entered the palace ten years ago. She is even the same age as the Empress. However, the Empress calls her Niang and has to maintain the demeanor of the Empress Dowager of a country, so she looks like a queen. A beautiful mature woman with round eyes.

Seeing a group of girls dancing, the Queen Mother probably wanted to show off her versatile side in front of Ye Jingtang, so she pulled Hong Yu over and followed the girls from the Guanwai tribe to dance a rather classical dance.

Ye Jingtang stood watching from a distance, and unexpectedly discovered that the Queen Mother danced very well, and could feel the agility that she felt when she was in the boudoir.

It's just that the Queen Mother's skirt is much grander than Xiao Yunli's, and it's so shaky that people dare not take a closer look. He can only look around and look like he's patrolling seriously.

After waiting for a while, the girls were not tired from dancing, but instead heard noises from outside.

Ye Jingtang turned around and saw Uncle Song walking into the station quickly, waving to him from afar.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang came to the side of a tent and asked:

"Uncle Song, is there something urgent?"

Song Chi came up and whispered:

"A young man came outside, claiming to be your subordinate. He came to report a secret. He was hiding his head and face, which is quite suspicious..."

My men...

Ye Jingtang was also a little confused. He thought about going back and saying hello to the Queen Mother before following Song Chi out of the station.

The Queen Mother, who was dancing with her, was so hungry that her limbs were weak. Seeing the night terror running away, she naturally lost interest in continuing to dance. She returned to her residence with Hong Yu, taking the sleeping birds away with her.

Hongyu hadn't eaten yet when she got up in the morning. She was also a little hungry and asked:

"Mother, do you have an appetite? How about I go prepare breakfast?"

The Queen Mother's appetite was astonishing now. She could smell the fragrance of beggar's chickens as she hugged the fat and strong birds. But when she thought of the night terror, she still restrained her appetite and frowned:

"I feel sick to my stomach when I see food now. Please don't mention eating to me these days."

"grumble?"

The sleeping bird caught the key words, raised his head and looked around, not knowing what he was looking at.

When Hongyu heard this, her face naturally turned bitter:

"If you don't want to eat anymore, you have to take a few sips of porridge. If you don't eat for a few days, what should I do if your body is starved to death?"

The Queen Mother's body cannot collapse. Now she has made up her mind that as long as she can't die from hunger, she will starve to death and must endure until Hongshan. For this reason, her attitude is very firm:

"I have no appetite. Even if you force feed me, I won't be able to swallow it. You go to eat first. I will tell you when I want to eat."

"oh."

…

——

Ye Jingtang and Uncle Song came out of the station together, avoiding the crowded area, and soon came to the back of a large stable located on the side of the Wuma Department.

Behind the stables was a small passage, and very few people passed by it. As soon as Night Terror Hall turned the corner, they saw a warrior wearing a bamboo hat, standing in the alley with his hands behind his hands, looking around.

"Xu Shaoxia."

"Master Ye."

When Xu Tianying saw Ye Jingtang, he came to him and bowed with his hands. Because he came from a wealthy family, he was used to being among ten thousand people. He was not very good at making polite remarks as a lowly person, so he went straight to the point:

"Du Tanqing came to Langxuan City, and was ordered by King Zuoxian to inquire about your whereabouts, and wanted to hire someone to assassinate you. From what I heard, the assassin should be Beiliang Sword Saint Xi Tianshang. When will he arrive? Not sure."

When Ye Jingtang heard that Cao Aning and others had sent information so quickly, he was quite surprised and nodded:

"I understand. Your master committed a treasonous act that implicated countless unsuspecting disciples of Jieyun Palace. After I return, I will advise the Holy One to consider this matter carefully to prevent the sin of one person from affecting thousands of innocent people."

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Tianying cupped his hands and thanked him, then said:

"In addition, there is also more important news, which was inquired by Cao Aning. Because Cao Aning had the foresight to remind King Zuo Xian not to provoke Lord Ye, he was appreciated afterwards. When discussing how to deal with Lord Ye, he served as a consultant and inquired Got a secret."

"What secret?"

"Twenty years ago, the Northern Liang court instigated the rebellion of several princes from the Northwest Royal Court with the promise of huge profits. These people were also the clan heads of various tribes and had great influence, making it impossible for the various tribes to form a rope. Among them, the highest official position It was the great Sima at that time, that is Sima Yue, the great king of Gouchen."

Xu Tianying glanced in the direction of the city center and continued:

"At that time, Sima Yue had a heavy army, and he followed King Tianlang in the north and south. He secretly ordered his relatives to deliberately provoke internal strife, which prevented the army from gathering quickly, leading to the final defeat of the entire army. During the retreat, he deliberately sent the remaining soldiers and horses of the royal court to the battlefield. He was brought to Liaoyuan and then broke out alone. This was why King Zuo Xian completely destroyed the Northwest Royal Court...

"The original promise given to Sima Yue was to let him succeed King Tianlang, but Beiliang made a mistake. Sima Yue also tried to rebel by uniting various ministries, but was suppressed by King Zuo Xian. Now although the Gou Chen tribe is as capable as the other ministries, They pay heavy taxes, but the tax money will be secretly returned in various ways. As a result, the Gouchen tribe has become the leader of all the tribes in the West Sea in just a dozen years..."

After hearing the words of the old wizard Han Ting, Ye Jingtang had doubts about Sima Yue in his heart. After hearing this, he suddenly understood and nodded:

"I know, but is there any other news?"

Xu Tian responded: "King Zuo Xian sent a message and asked King Gouchen to take the lead and put pressure on the Dongming tribe. The purpose is to make King Dongming abdicate and replace the leader with an obedient person. By the way, this matter was used to attract Lord Ye to show up. Put the name of deliberately provoking war and forcing various ministries to rebel on your head, lest you conquer the hearts of various ministries.

"King Zuo Xian will not send troops rashly. From what I see, Master Ye can use the past grudges as an excuse to confront King Gouchen, and then take the matter of offending King Zuo Xian on himself.

"In this way, the Dongming tribe is just obeying the faith and repaying the old master. The tribes have no reason to say anything wrong about the Dongming tribe, and King Zuo Xian has nothing to do with you. In case the tribes really follow you to restore the Northwest Royal Court, maybe the trouble will be alleviated. Taxes are used to win over various ministries. But the premise is that Master Ye can deal with King Gouchen and get out of Langxuan City alive."

Ye Jingtang felt that the hidden stakes he defeated were indeed much easier to use than the imperial spies. He praised:

"I will take care of these matters myself. No matter what you do, I will truthfully report the credit to the Holy Emperor. If you are successful in opening up and expanding the territory one day, it will not be surprising that you will receive the same reward as the Xuanyuan Dynasty."

"Xu is a guilty person, and what he did in the past was nothing more than repaying his kindness. The Holy Spirit can forgive his past sins, which is enough to make Xu grateful. He dare not ask for anything else."

After Xu Tianying thanked him, he added: "By the way, there is one more thing I need to ask Mr. Ye to help me with. Du Tanqing is the intelligence chief under King Zuo Xian. A few days ago, due to an intelligence error, King Zuo Xian almost capsized in the gutter. Zuo Xian The king was quite dissatisfied with him, but Cao Aning was appreciated. Now that Du Tanqing has arrived in Langxuan City, Cao Aning means..."

Song Chi, who was listening behind him, was confused, but after hearing this, he understood the meaning and raised his hand:

"Understood. I'm going to kill Du Tanqing right now, push the matter to Jingtang's head, and then reveal his whereabouts a little bit so that you can take him back to collect the reward."

Seeing this, Xu Tianying stopped talking nonsense. After explaining the hiding places of several people, he prepared to leave. Before leaving, he also reminded:

"Du Tanqing is a white paper fan, and his martial arts is not very good, but he is accompanied by two masters from the Baixiao camp as guards. You'd better beat Cao Aning when you come over. It's the same as beating Hu Yanjing. He'll think you're here to silence him. Yes, only in this way can we deceive King Zuo Xian."

Ye Jingtang naturally understood this truth and asked:

"how about you?"

"I'm patrolling outside. I won't go back for now. Otherwise, except Master Ye, no one else will be able to hurt Du Tanqing in front of me."

After Xu Tianying finished speaking, he jumped lightly and disappeared among the tents.

Seeing Xu Tianying leave, Ye Jingtang thought about all the information for a while, then turned around and said:

"Let's go and solve a little trouble first."

Song Chi followed for a few steps, thought for a moment and shook his head:

"There seems to be a meeting in the city today. King Dong Ming came there with the clan elders just after dawn. Since King Gou Chen has bad intentions, I'm afraid you have to be there first to prepare for any eventuality. Moreover, these reports are baseless. Do you want to To expose King Chen's shortcomings, we must first check the accounts and other things as evidence. As for the silence, Yuan Qing and I can do it. I guarantee that the matter will be done cleanly and neatly."

Ye Jingtang thought about it, but King Zuo Xian had so many experts, so it was really a bit stressful to let the two hall masters pass, so he said:

"I'll call She Long and Shang Jianli to come over. The four of you go together. Bai Fa Di will be behind to hold the battle. Both Master Meng and Hei Bai Wuchang know Cao Aning. They just want to avoid accidental injuries and leave a few people alive after killing them. Then let Master Meng In the name of the imperial court, I would like to give some harsh words to King Zuo Xian, so that trouble can be brought to me, so that Cao Aning and others will not be suspected..."

Song Chi nodded, and immediately returned to the station with Ye Jingtang, began to gather people, and worked separately...
