After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Imperial capital, Xuanwu Street, restaurant box.

The letter sent by carrier pigeon from Xilinzhuang in Yancheng was lying quietly on the desk.

With a cold gaze, Pei Guichen in white robe looked out the window of the box.

After New Year’s Eve, the imperial capital was shrouded in the early clear sky after the snow, as if the firecrackers and fireworks had ignited the bright spring sunshine.

However, the shadow guard who was sent to inquire about Luo's current situation wrote several pieces of bad news in the secret letter.

The elite troops of the Zhenxi Army were stationed near Xilinzhuang.

They finally got a little closer to Xilinzhuang, but the other two were hit by an arrow.

It was a very special type of crossbow on the high wall of Xilin Village.

The letter not only described the appearance of the crossbow in detail, but the shadow guard also drew the general outline of the crossbow.

Seeing that kind of standard arrows and crossbows, Pei Guichen's eyes turned cold.

He had seen it with his own eyes in his previous life when Abao accompanied him on his fifth birthday.

Pei Guichen gripped the strings of the zither tightly, ignoring the bleeding from the old wound on his palm a few days ago, and looked at the picture of arrows and crossbows on the table.

Abao particularly likes to figure out mechanisms.

Even after he ascended the throne in his previous life, he was busy with political affairs, but he never gave up.

Later, she will spend a lot of effort to develop a crossbow and give it to him as a birthday gift. "I had a dream before. I seemed to have promised you in a daze that I would make a crossbow with a longer range for you! Do you like it?"

Of course he does.

But in the previous life, iron materials for casting arrows and crossbows were extremely difficult to find.

That map has been hidden in a secret room.

It was not until later that he used the jade slips he found in Western Xinjiang to find the mine where the iron was buried.

It was in this life that the new mine caused a stir in the dark market of Western Xinjiang some time ago.

However, when he found a new mine and originally planned to cast this standard crossbow arrows in advance, he discovered that the other materials needed to cast the crossbow arrows had already been sold.

It turned out that this was a move made by Po in advance.

Pei Guichen thought back to what the secret guard had said in the letter and discovered that Abao's crossbow was even more sophisticated this time.

At this time, Shadow Guard Vulture reported with a solemn look on his face: "My Lord, there is a rumor in the Dark Market of the Imperial Capital recently."

"Liu Qiqi, who is imprisoned in the Western Prison of the Pacification Department, has confessed that she is a secret spy for the Northern Border Barbarians. Over the years, she has been hiding in the Zhenxi Palace under an assumed name. One of her purposes is to find a painting for the young master of the barbarians."

"That painting seems to have been presented to the palace by the then King of Zhenxi a hundred years ago."

After saying this, Shadow Guard Vulture looked at the tea table and suddenly remembered the cold figure in white robe who was tuning the strings of the zither.

After hesitating for a long time, Vulture carefully asked, "Master, is this rumor true? Is Liu Qiqi really a barbarian?"

Hearing this, Pei Guichen casually plucked the strings of the zither, making a clear and sharp sound, like a sonic blade.

When the so-called heir of King Jialuo, Baizhe, came to him and negotiated a deal with him using the heart of the Lirong beast, he was sure that Liu Qiqi was Baizhe's man.

But to his surprise, Bai Zhe was actually the young master of the barbarian tribe, Bai Muliang.

In the shadow cast by the sharp black eyelashes, Pei Guichen's eyes darkened: "What's going on over at the East Palace?"

"As the princess is the regent, the East Palace is naturally bustling with people. There is nothing wrong with it." Shadow Guard Vulture thought for a moment, "But over in Baiyujing, the shadow guard you sent to keep an eye on her reported back a strange sign."

"The night before yesterday, a carriage from the East Palace stopped at the side door of the backyard of Baiyujing."

"The little girl who followed Luosha Buddha unloaded the portraits in the secret room of Zhenguo Temple from the carriage."

"And last night, Yan Haixi secretly sent Liu Qiqi out of the Western Prison of the Pacification Division."

"At the same time, Wanwan from Baiyujing also drove alone and sent the portraits away."

"They all went to the same place, the summer resort outside the imperial capital."

After saying this, Shadow Guard Vulture became even more confused: "My Lord, what is the princess planning to do?"

Pei Guichen had many speculations.

But no matter what Bao's final plan is, he must get those paintings to solve a puzzle.
