"What the hell is that?!" Qian Sanmei took the initiative to stand in front of Yu Hongdou and protected her as she retreated.

With so many men present, they would definitely not let a girl like Qian Sanmei go forward to check.

Tan Yanli's bodyguard grabbed the knife, stared at the stove pit for a few seconds, then reached in and poked it.

"Squeak~" a weak groan revealed the other party's identity.

"It's a rat." The guard first reported his identity, then felt something was wrong. The rat didn't run away in such a situation.

The guard silently increased the movement of his hands to stir the ashes in the stove pit, and soon everyone heard a "ding" sound.

"It's a knife." The guard quickly used his knife to pull out the things in the stove pit.

Yu Hongdou finally understood why the mouse just cried weakly but didn't run away.

The mouse probably got in accidentally, and didn't expect that there was a sharp weapon buried in the ashes of the stove. It was so careless that it pierced its hind leg with the tip of the weapon.

"How tragic." Yu Hongdou sympathized with the poor little mouse for a minute, then turned to look at the sharp weapons that had been cleared out.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out to be a knife.

"Knife?" Yu Hongdou looked at the wide-bladed weapon with some uncertainty, because the knife looked a little mini.

The dark blade, including the handle, is only about 20 centimeters long and looks more like a dagger.

"Kucha Shaya Knife." Tan Yanlin stared at the mini knife with a serious look.

"It should be used by a noble." The guard's expression was more serious than Tan Yanlin's. He picked up the knife himself, brushed off the ash on it with the hem of his clothes, and made a conclusion directly by looking at the pattern on the blade.

"It should have been inlaid with gems, but it seems someone doesn't know its value." Tan Yanlin looked at the empty patterns and pits on the dagger, feeling regretful.

"Is it possible that it's still in there?" Yu Hongdou pointed to the stove pit. She saw the burn marks on the knife. Maybe the gems on it were burned.

"I'll find it." Qingzhu volunteered. He liked this job.

Qian Sanmei took the initiative to help. The two of them went outside for a walk and quickly found a piece of torn straw mat and put it on the ground. One of them took a wooden board and the other took a ladle and began to scoop up the wood ash from the stove pit.

"Let's go out first." Tan Yanlin pulled Yu Hongdou out quietly and stood in front of the door.

"Kucha sent an ambassador to Qichao in the first half of the year to discuss peace and trade." Tan Yanlin looked around, and the guards behind him spontaneously stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Tan Yanlin then whispered to Yu Hongdou about the seriousness of the matter.

"They brought a lot of spices, jades and gems. The emperor was very happy and even rewarded them with several carts of treasures from the royal treasury." Tan Yanlin still finds this incident a bit absurd when he mentions it.

"Who would have thought that half a month later, another Kucha delegation arrived, saying that they were the real Kucha delegation, but they were robbed on the way. Not only did they lose the official documents and gifts, but also the Kucha prince who came with them and the Pokémon they wanted to present to the Qi Dynasty were missing."

Tan Yanlin's face didn't look good when he said this. It was obvious that the consequences of this incident were quite serious.

"Huh? Then how come they found the capital only half a month later? Why didn't they seek official help in the first place?" Yu Hongdou dropped her jaw in shock.

Are these people stupid? As long as this matter is mentioned to the local officials, no official would dare to hide it as it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"It is said that he was trapped in the mountains and has not come out." Tan Yanlin was speechless. If you say this is true, it is true. If you say it is false, it is also false to the extreme.

Why didn't the people who robbed the delegation just kill them, but instead let them run to the emperor unharmed and tell tales?

"Where were they kidnapped? Is there someone behind the scenes doing this?" Yu Hongdou also had a face full of question marks. In other words, if they wanted to pretend to be an diplomatic mission, why didn't they just kill them all?

Even if only one person slipped through the net and solved the problem, it couldn't be such a self-directed farce.

"My grandfather felt that he had been fooled and was very angry. He ordered a strict investigation. All the investigation departments were very busy in the first half of the year. That's why the Dali Temple Zhengzhu you met was appointed so quickly."

However, Tan Yanlin felt that there were many strange things about this matter.

He suspected that those people had taken a fancy to something in the royal treasury, but it was not convenient for them to sell it secretly, so he took this opportunity to give it away openly, so that even if people remembered it later, they would not be able to find any traces.

Yu Hongdou's first thought was: "What kind of Pokémon are they going to send over? There should be a description, right?"

Tan Yanlin shook his head: "I don't know. The envoys said that only the eldest prince knows the magic of the treasure."

"..." Even more speechless, okay? Yu Hongdou rolled her eyes to the sky.

"So, if that dagger is really from Kucha, there will be big problems." Tan Yanlin's face became serious and he looked at Yu Hongdou solemnly.

This small Taoyuan Village is likely to experience a storm.

Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "You said, that Pokémon could be..." Is it related to the Hat Fairy?

Yu Hongdou moved her gaze towards the direction of Nanshan, which was the direction of Wudai Mountain.

Tan Yanlin was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction she was looking. His mind was desperately thinking about the list of gifts that his royal grandfather had given back to Kucha, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

"It seems that this traitor is not simple." Tan Yanlin

As expected, Tan Yanlin raised his head again and met Yu Hongdou's gaze: "Ning family?"

Yu Hongdou nodded and shook her head: "Fifth brother told my father to stop caring about it. The clues point to the capital."

"The Huang family, which later colluded with the foreigners, also said that they had established connections with the capital. After the conspiracy failed, all of Huang Jincheng's family members died tragically."

"I originally thought that the Ning family was motivated by profit when they took action against Yu Wangzhai, but now I think about it... my little money is nothing to the Ning family."

Yu Hongdou had never thought about this before, until Peng Qi mentioned that the Ning family had promised him a marriage.

She didn't even know that the imperial concubine's wet nurse, who lived next door to the Peng family, had such abilities.

He actually persuaded the Ning family to marry a concubine's daughter from a side branch to a man who had just passed the imperial examination. What's more, Concubine Ning's sister fell in love with cousin Pan Bao.

The "main family" means a closer cousin, and even if she is a concubine's daughter, it is not something that ordinary people can marry.

"Even if the girl from the Ning family really likes my cousin's character and appearance, she won't propose marriage now." Yu Hongdou said firmly.

"As far as I know, the girls of the Ning family are concubines, and none of them married into families below the sixth rank. However, some of them married third rank officials as concubines."

Tan Yanlin thought about it, and it was indeed as she said, the girls of the Ning family would not be white even if they got married. Tan Yanlin thought about it, and it was indeed as she said, the girls of the Ning family would not be white even if they got married.
