Chapter 35 Do you want to see my bird
Feng Jiang and the little black cat.
One desperately wants to hug, and the other desperately hates it.
The former just said that this is my cat, and the latter performed the Shadowless Claw Scratching Skill very uncooperatively...
How could this be a family?
Zhou Yao's high-pitched heart eased a little.
When Feng Jiang had no choice but to let go of the little black cat, the little black cat didn't go anywhere, jumped onto Zhou Yao's body, climbed up the clothes all the way up to his shoulders, and turned his head, rubbing his head against Zhou Yao's neck and buttocks. For Feng Jiang——Zhou Yao felt more at ease.
"Your cat? Huh?"
His dimples were hidden, and his smile was extremely bright.
Feng Jiang glanced at the little black cat's buttocks, his ferocious eyes seemed to reveal a trace of resentment: "Okay, Taxue won't let me raise it."
"Meow!"
The little black cat yelled again in protest.
"Well, it's not called treading snow either."
Feng Jiang reached out to pet the little black cat, but remembering that the little black cat didn't want to see him, he touched his nose in embarrassment.
Zhou Yao stroked the little black cat's fur to comfort him, with a look of 'please start your explanation'.
Feng Jiang shrugged his shoulders: "It has no owner, no company, it nests anywhere, picks it up, I rescued it, but it hates my birds and refuses to get close to it..."
"Wait, your bird?" Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes.
Feng Jiang mentioned his bird very proudly: "It's big and beautiful, do you want to see it?"
The little black cat on his shoulder moved, and Zhou Yao shook his head: "I don't want to."
"That's right, it's not here now, you'll have to wait a while to see it," Feng Jiang felt a little regretful, "Actually, I still have a dog, and it's in my hometown. This time I traveled far, so I didn't bring it with me..."
Zhou Yao really didn't know that Feng Jiang likes raising small animals.
In the previous life... there were no cats or birds, but there was a dog, but the watchdog was raised by many people, and Feng Jiang didn't like it much.
A new life is the beginning of a new understanding.
Zhou Yao carried the little black cat to the veranda: "Is Xiao Hei hungry? Do you want to eat small dried fish? Don't worry, I'll get it for you..."
Feng Jiang's eyes twitched.
He wants to be hugged, but the stinky kitten will not do anything, but the little crying bag is very comfortable to hold, he is named Taxue, and the smelly kitten doesn't like it, and the little crying bag is easy-spoken and vulgar Xiao Hei, so it has no objection!
Really just bad taste cats!
The little black cat seemed to know that Feng Jiang was scolding it, and turned its head sharply, staring at him with round eyes: "Meow!"
Zhou Yao also turned around, with a serious face: "Why are you bullying Xiao Hei again?"
Feng Jiang: ...
Well, I can't afford to mess with one or two.
Finally seeing the little black cat again, Zhou Yao liked it so much that he refused to let it go, even the little dried fish was hugged and fed.The little black cat was served very comfortably, its fur was smooth, and it nestled obediently on Zhou Yao's warm lap, and did not move its nest for a long time.
Of course, if Feng Jiang dared to rub his hand secretly to take advantage of it, it would still get its claws.
"It does like you."
This is a bit jealous.
Zhou Yao got a benefit and didn't mind: "From now on, it will be my cat, named Xiao Hei, please show respect, don't touch it, don't bark, and the most important thing is don't go around saying that this is your cat. Isn't it? , Xiao Hei—”
While talking, he also kissed the little black cat's face.The little black cat was very cooperative, condescending to masturbate Zhou Yao, squatting with its round head, sticking out its pink and tender tongue to lick Zhou Yao's face.
Small dried fish, one per person, small snacks, one bite per person.
Zhou Yao asked the little black cat why it hadn't come for so many days, and the little black cat meowed repeatedly, as if explaining.
A teenager and a kitten, the interaction between the two is particularly wonderful, even the snow in the background looks much warmer.
Feng Jiang felt that he... seemed redundant?
After such a long while, Feng Jiang didn't have a chance to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Yao was waiting on the cat, asking if the kitten was full and thirsty.
If you don't eat it, you must be full!
Give it water to drink and it will be thirsty if it does not drink it, it will not be thirsty!
Even if it can watch snow scenes, it will not share its feelings with you!
If you want to leave or not, if you lock it up, you won't leave!
Every question is so obvious that Zhou Yao still wants to ask it, like a little fool...
Feng Jiang was a little overwhelmed.
He picked up the flagon and drank impatiently——
Damn, the wine is gone!
But at this moment, Zhou Yao turned his head to look at him.
The disgust in the eyes is very obvious: so what are you still doing here?
Feng Jiang: ...
He felt like this flagon that was used up and thrown away.
Not long ago, Zhou Yao was looking at him with a smile, his dimples were sweet, and he leaned against him tiredly. He once thought that Zhou Yao was deliberately taking advantage of him, and he was going to kiss him the next moment. Doubt without hesitation, without hesitation, kiss one after another...
Although he doesn't long for Zhou Yao's kisses, um, not one!But the fact that people are not as good as cats is somewhat embarrassing!
Seeing Zhou Yao's attitude, I'm afraid he's not in the mood to chat today, Feng Jiang didn't want to provoke suspicion, so he stood up: "Then, see you tomorrow."
Smiling, Zhou Yao held the little black cat's left front paw and waved to him: "See you tomorrow!"
Feng Jiang: ...
After Feng Jiang's figure disappeared, Zhou Yao buried his face in the little black cat's belly and let out a long breath.
can't go on...
He really almost couldn't help kissing him before!
"Meow--"
The little black cat put its paws on Zhou Yao's face and patted it lightly, as if to comfort him.
……
The black market auction will be held in Zishi, and at the beginning of Wushi, you can enter the venue with invitation cards.
The venue for this auction was the Zuihonglou, and a VIP passage was specially set up to lead to the secret auction main venue.
The main venue of the auction has been built, and there are no private rooms, only private seats. Those who hold gold and red invitations like the eldest prince can choose the seat of the private seat. Those who hold blue and green invitations are free to follow. Those who hold blank colored leaves and signed posts are only allowed On the outermost floor, people are not allowed to go upstairs, but Zhou Yao, who holds ink yellow invitation cards, can walk around at will, and go upstairs without touching the ground, but if he wants to get close to the private seat, he must have the permission of the owner of the private seat.
Because Zuihonglou took this deal, they didn't even do serious business, and put up a sign early, all the girls in the building have something to do today, so they don't accept customers.
Zhou Yao didn't go out with the eldest prince, he set off long in advance, and was the first group of guests to enter the auction venue.
The invitations were checked and entered smoothly. At the entrance of the venue, someone distributed masks.
"Want to wear a mask?"
The waiter explained: "It's not forced. If someone has concerns and doesn't want to show his face, he can cover it up."
Zhou Yao took a look, and all the waiters held the same half-section masks, with plain faces and black backgrounds, without any patterns, not very good-looking, and able to cover eyebrows and eyes, without delaying eating and drinking.But better than nothing, he took one in his hand and walked in slowly.
The meeting place is still very empty and there are not many people. Zhou Yao thought for a while, found a place with a good view and sat down, and asked the waiter to serve some refreshments.
People came in batches, and slowly, the venue became lively, and girls from Zuihonglou began to come out to entertain guests, some of whom were acquaintances, and the guests tipped generously.
Zhou Yao saw familiar people, such as Guan Jin, the boss of Huayuan Commercial Bank.
He was dressed very richly, the embroidery on the satin material seemed to be shining like gold, and his waist was bulging, so he looked very rich.He was accompanied by a deacon named Xiong Qing, who was very young.
This means that you have enough money, and you are determined to win the treasure?
Zhou Yao doubted whether this person knew what Chongbao was.
He also saw Lin Chen.
Lin Chen is still elegant, dressed as a nobleman, with a calm and relaxed expression on his face, not a bit nervous, it seems that he is not here to make a lot of money, but to join in the fun.He walked into the meeting place to have a look here, wandered there, and after walking enough, he just put on his mask and found a seat to sit down.
Some people have seen it at the venue, and more people have never seen it.
Zhou Yao saw several middle-aged men with bulging temples. They looked like family practitioners, with good martial arts, but they didn't look like the guards of the venue... probably they were the ones who came in to compete for the treasure.
A few people gave him a very strange feeling. He was obviously well-dressed and had a good temperament, but he always felt that it was against harmony, as if...the other party was not like this usually, and he was not used to it.
Is it a foreigner?
Thinking of these two words, Zhou Yao became vigilant.
……
The venue was full of people, the voices were buzzing, and when the waiters couldn't serve the tea, the First Prince and Fourth Prince arrived late.
As if it was agreed, these two people have extremely different political views, and their positions are even more opposed. In these respects, the tacit understanding is outrageous.
"Everything has a first-come, first-served basis, so I will enter the venue first, and the elder brother will wait a little bit."
"The elders come first, fourth brother, you should learn this rule carefully."
Even though they came late, they still didn't want to fall behind the other party.
"Don't worry, you two, I will check the stickers for you two."
Fortunately, the venue has comprehensive services, enough people, and the door is wide enough for them to enter side by side.
This wave is finally over.
But when it came to the private seat, others came early, and all the good seats were taken away, and the two remaining ones connected together were not in the middle.
The eldest prince and the four princes were all silent.
They are reviewing.
In the past, they were princes. Other than the emperor, they were the most distinguished. No matter where they went, they were the last ones to arrive. When they arrived, they would definitely have a place, and they would definitely be in the middle. This auction... they used aliases.
Everything has been thought of, everything has been planned, but this point has been ignored.
But it’s good not to sit in the middle, low-key, easy to observe, easy to do things...
After thinking about it for a while, the two accepted it, and walked towards the connecting seats together, one east and one west, and sat down.
Zhou Yao looked carefully, but couldn't find Feng Jiang.
This guy is about to be easy again...
Lin Chen's position happened to be under the two princes' private seats.
At the moment he is chatting with his neighbor.
"...The imperial decree issued by the emperor in front of all the ministers, the two princes, whoever can recover Chongbao, he will give the throne to whoever. I want to watch the excitement, the number of people here is normal."
"After tonight, our Great Chu will usher in a new emperor."
"yes……"
"It's exciting to think about."
With just a few words, the eldest prince and the fourth prince's competitive spirit was picked up again, and the eyes of the four princes looking at each other flashed with fire.
The people below didn't know that the two princes under discussion were above them, and they were still chatting in low voices.
"I heard that the First Prince killed Xu Feng, the son of the Fourth Prince's steadfast official, Mr. Xu. The Fourth Prince was not excited to take revenge this time, but he was much more prudent. Is he determined to win that position?"
"The fourth prince didn't take revenge on this matter, but he seems to have given the eldest prince a green light, with the eldest prince's concubine named Ling Meng... Hehehe... He also released news that Ling Meng is the daughter of the eldest prince's subordinates At first, the eldest prince didn't fall in love with his daughter, but his subordinate's wife. After getting his wife into his hands, he fell in love with his daughter... Do you think this subordinate is so unlucky? We don't know if the fourth prince will come or not. It turns out that the First Prince is also an ordinary person, hahaha..."
Lin Chen listened to their gossip, didn't participate, didn't stop, but kindly reminded: "Since you know that the two princes will send someone, you'd better keep your voice down."
The two princes: ...
The eldest prince gritted his teeth: "Xu Feng was not killed by my people!"
The fourth prince's eyes were deep: "Then I haven't sent any words."
He doesn't care who killed Xu Feng and how he died, anyway, if something happened to his people, the eldest prince must take the blame!
Didn't the First Prince do the same?
Everyone behaves the same way, why pretend to be innocent?You are innocent in this matter, but you will not be innocent in the previous one and the next one!
The two of them pinched when they got together, there was no surprise, it took a long time, and there was plenty of time for them to pinch, Zhou Yao stopped paying attention, stood up, and walked along the wall in small steps.
The Chongbao auction was held in this venue. He only saw a door, but not any place to store things. Where were the things put?
As he walked, he paused, as if he saw Wang Jia.
This young man is easy to recognize, young, short in stature, thin, and exudes lightness and vigor.
But in just a moment, the figure disappeared, as fast as an illusion.
Nothing to do with oneself.
Thinking this way, Zhou Yao continued to move forward.
He walked back and forth in the venue, and went to the official room outside the venue a few times, measured the entire venue with his feet, slowly formed a map, and remembered it in his mind.
After a while, give him a taste, the walls of this place are slightly thicker, and some corners are not the same size, there must be a secret room!
And the underground... doesn't seem to be that quiet either.
But just when he was about to think and investigate deeply, he saw a person.
A thief with an uncle's jade on his body!
The eldest prince was worried about the usefulness of these thieves, he made a suggestion, choose some smart ones to come out to find their way or be a bait for them today, the eldest prince personally picked this person, so he stopped talking, thinking about finding an opportunity at that time ...
Here comes the opportunity!
Zhou Yao let go of the terrain he was thinking about and quietly followed.
This thief's footsteps are sneaky, his expression is wrong, he must be trying to do something...
The thieves' steps are a little brisk, and when they speed up intentionally, it is difficult for others to keep up.Fortunately, there were so many people in the meeting place, the thief couldn't walk quickly without attracting attention, and walked very low-key, so Zhou Yao had to keep up.
Slowly, seeing that he was about to walk out of the crowded area, in what direction to turn, Zhou Yao saw Shang Zhongji.
Shang Zhong has also followed the thief.
Could it be that he was sent by the First Prince to watch out for thieves, to see if there was any profit?
Zhou Yao ducked his body to prevent Shang Zhong from finding out.
After Shang Zhong had followed the thief away, he continued to fall...
until it was stopped.
This man was well-dressed, with dragon patterns embroidered darkly on his cuffs, a white jade belt around his waist, and gold powder sprinkled on his shoes, very recognizable.
Zhou Yao met more than once.
"Four princes."
"You are really not good."
The fourth prince smiled sadly: "How dare you look down on me."
"Why did the fourth prince say such a thing? I dare not bear this charge for no reason."
Seeing the thief and Shang Zhong disappear from sight, Zhou Yao felt a little heartbroken, and his voice was a bit mean.
The fourth prince reached out and grabbed his neck, and threw him against the wall: "Do you really think I won't kill you!"
Zhou Yao didn't struggle either: "Fourth Prince, please feel free."
The fourth prince squinted his eyes, and gradually tightened his big hands——
After a while, he shook off Zhou Yao.
"Troublesome villain!"
Because he was angry in his heart, he shook Zhou Yao more vigorously, not only pinching Zhou Yao's neck with a bruise, but also drawing a bloodstain on the side of Zhou Yao's face, near the base of the ear.
The pain is secondary, the key is face.
The prince of a country, being oppressed and bullied like this, would feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Yao didn't seem to notice it at all, neither angry nor angry, his face was calm, no different from before.
He just lowered his eyes slightly, straightening his slightly messy clothes: "The fourth prince is on a high place, and he speaks happily, but he knows that the other party doesn't know anything. This kind of communication will have counterproductive effects—someone who still doesn't know the attitude of the fourth prince." Why, why didn't the fourth prince open the skylight and speak brightly?"
Chongbao is about to be auctioned, and the emperor also announced the Zen seat, and the fourth prince can't wait any longer, and he wasn't prepared to go around in circles.
"Where is your uncle?"
Zhou Yao's eyes and pupils tightened suddenly: "My uncle?"
"Yes, your uncle, who came to Chu with you and disappeared within two days after entering the capital, where is he now?"
Why did the fourth prince want to find his uncle?
Are you still looking for it so urgently?
Zhou Yao's eyes drooped slightly, and he covered his eyes to think: "If you really pay attention, you should know, I don't know where he went, and now I'm stranded in Chu, and I'm waiting for him."
The fourth prince stared at Zhou Yao closely, as if judging whether he was lying: "He is your uncle, will you really lose contact?"
"Believe it or not, fourth prince," Zhou Yao raised his eyes, and started the first test of the day, "Could it be that the fourth prince was also persuaded by someone to think that my uncle had something to do with the disappearance of Chongbao? It wasn't my intention to look for my uncle." To defend my uncle, my uncle does not know martial arts, nor does he know about theft, he has seen a lot of royal treasures, so there is no need for me to be involved in such a thing."
The fourth prince snorted coldly: "Think I'm that stupid person?"
Zhou Yao immediately understood that it was not Yuxi that the fourth prince was looking for his uncle.
But my uncle only got involved with this matter a little bit, without any doubts... What is it that he doesn't know?
He smiled slightly, revealing dimples, with a cute face, and a special, slow and easy-to-quiet rhythm in his voice: "Although my uncle has not returned from business, the fourth prince has a good saying. Xiaoqing, my uncle will share with me what the Fourth Prince is looking for, if it is convenient, why not tell me, if I know, I can directly explain to the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince looked at Zhou Yao and frowned tightly.
He was hesitating whether to listen to Zhou Yao or not.
This matter is a secret, it is only circulated among the emperors of various countries, the prince may not be entitled to know, he does not want Zhou Yao to take advantage of it.
But as Zhou Yao, knowing his current position is useless.
Besides, Zhou Yao was very difficult to deal with. He was a step too late, making Zhou Yao the eldest prince by accident. It would be inconvenient for him to ask questions.
After struggling for a while, Xu Shi had the first question in his heart, and he still asked, "Your uncle, did you mention the word 'Shengyu' to you?"
"Victory?"
Zhou Yao's first thought was, what the hell?
Turning my mind again, I remembered the miscellaneous notes I had read, but I knew it was a joke.
Shengyu, who grew up in Yushan, is a kind of bird with fiery red body. It feeds on fish and its cry is like the sound of deer. According to legend, this is an ominous bird that will bring floods. Wherever it appears, it will There will be floods, and in severe cases, the country will perish.
But what does the bird have to do with uncle?
Seeing Zhou Yao's expression, the fourth prince knew that he didn't know, and was very disappointed.
If he wanted to be a stable monarch, he had to pay attention to those who had a chance to meet him. He tried all means to get this edict, and even the eldest prince didn't know it.
As soon as he learned this sentence, he heard Zhou Yao's uncle say these two words when he was listening to the people below to learn how to spread the gossip.
Is this still available?
Shengyu is an ominous bird, but in the speech, it said to pay attention to the person who has Shengyu, but did not say to be careful, so it is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse. Even if it is a disaster, he can get it and use it later. To the Great Prince's camp...
Because of uncertainty, he didn't dare to really kill Zhou Yao, who knows if that victory will bring him disaster?
After waiting for so long, there is still no news...
Well, he was still impatient.
The fourth prince lightly patted Zhou Yao's face, with a sinister smile on his lips: "You can remember, next, live well... Don't let the first prince know what happened today. That person is not like you I thought it was so gentle."
Zhou Yao understood that the word "Sheng Yu" is still a secret!
The fourth prince came here like a tornado, and left very simply.
Zhou Yao felt that since his rebirth, there had been a lot of fog. In his previous life, he had missed so many things!
He now understands a sentence very well: Don't worry if you have too many debts, and don't bite if you have too many lice.
There are too many puzzles, so he is not in a hurry, he has to solve them one by one.
He has a wonderful premonition that some of these puzzles will trouble him for a long time, but some, at least before leaving Chudi, can be solved...
He stopped caring about the fourth prince, straightened his clothes, and chased in the direction where the thief left not long ago.
After turning a few corners and bypassing a group of people, he saw Shang Zhongji, who was walking straight in this direction.
Zhou Yao hurriedly avoided, and when Shang Zhong had passed by and would not turn back, he set foot on the road again and walked in the direction Shang Zhong had left.
It's a long road, just around the corner, and there's no one there.
At the end of the road, there is a room.
Zhou Yao stood in front of the room without hearing anything.
He slowly stretched out his hand and pushed open the door——
One desperately wants to hug, and the other desperately hates it.
The former just said that this is my cat, and the latter performed the Shadowless Claw Scratching Skill very uncooperatively...
How could this be a family?
Zhou Yao's high-pitched heart eased a little.
When Feng Jiang had no choice but to let go of the little black cat, the little black cat didn't go anywhere, jumped onto Zhou Yao's body, climbed up the clothes all the way up to his shoulders, and turned his head, rubbing his head against Zhou Yao's neck and buttocks. For Feng Jiang——Zhou Yao felt more at ease.
"Your cat? Huh?"
His dimples were hidden, and his smile was extremely bright.
Feng Jiang glanced at the little black cat's buttocks, his ferocious eyes seemed to reveal a trace of resentment: "Okay, Taxue won't let me raise it."
"Meow!"
The little black cat yelled again in protest.
"Well, it's not called treading snow either."
Feng Jiang reached out to pet the little black cat, but remembering that the little black cat didn't want to see him, he touched his nose in embarrassment.
Zhou Yao stroked the little black cat's fur to comfort him, with a look of 'please start your explanation'.
Feng Jiang shrugged his shoulders: "It has no owner, no company, it nests anywhere, picks it up, I rescued it, but it hates my birds and refuses to get close to it..."
"Wait, your bird?" Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes.
Feng Jiang mentioned his bird very proudly: "It's big and beautiful, do you want to see it?"

Of course, if Feng Jiang dared to rub his hand secretly to take advantage of it, it would still get its claws.

The black market auction will be held in Zishi, and at the beginning of Wushi, you can enter the venue with invitation cards.
The venue for this auction was the Zuihonglou, and a VIP passage was specially set up to lead to the secret auction main venue.
The main venue of the auction has been built, and there are no private rooms, only private seats.

The venue was full of people, the voices were buzzing, and when the waiters couldn't serve the tea, the First Prince and Fourth Prince arrived late.
As if it was agreed, these two people have extremely different political views, and their positions are even more opposed. In these respects, the tacit understanding is outrageous.
"Everything has a first-come, first-served basis, so I will enter the venue first, and the elder brother will wait a little bit."
"The elders come first, fourth brother, you should learn this rule carefully."
Even though they came late, they still didn't want to fall behind the other party.
"Don't worry, you two, I will check the stickers for you two."
Fortunately, the venue has comprehensive services, enough people, and the door is wide enough for them to enter side by side.
This wave is finally over.
But when it came to the private seat, others came early, and all the good seats were taken away, and the two remaining ones connected together were not in the middle.
The eldest prince and the four princes were all silent.
They are reviewing.
In the past, they were princes. Other than the emperor, they were the most distinguished. No matter where they went, they were the last ones to arrive. When they arrived, they would definitely have a place, and they would definitely be in the middle. This auction... they used aliases.
Everything has been thought of, everything has been planned, but this point has been ignored.
But it’s good not to sit in the middle, low-key, easy to observe, easy to do things...
After thinking about it for a while, the two accepted it, and walked towards the connecting seats together, one east and one west, and sat down.
Zhou Yao looked carefully, but couldn't find Feng Jiang.
This guy is about to be easy again...
Lin Chen's position happened to be under the two princes' private seats.
At the moment he is chatting with his neighbor.
"...The imperial decree issued by the emperor in front of all the ministers, the two princes, whoever can recover Chongbao, he will give the throne to whoever. I want to watch the excitement, the number of people here is normal."
"After tonight, our Great Chu will usher in a new emperor."
"yes……"
"It's exciting to think about."
With just a few words, the eldest prince and the fourth prince's competitive spirit was picked up again, and the eyes of the four princes looking at each other flashed with fire.
The people below didn't know that the two princes under discussion were above them, and they were still chatting in low voices.
"I heard that the First Prince killed Xu Feng, the son of the Fourth Prince's steadfast official, Mr. Xu. The Fourth Prince was not excited to take revenge this time, but he was much more prudent. Is he determined to win that position?"
"The fourth prince didn't take revenge on this matter, but he seems to have given the eldest prince a green light, with the eldest prince's concubine named Ling Meng... Hehehe... He also released news that Ling Meng is the daughter of the eldest prince's subordinates At first, the eldest prince didn't fall in love with his daughter, but his subordinate's wife. After getting his wife into his hands, he fell in love with his daughter... Do you think this subordinate is so unlucky? We don't know if the fourth prince will come or not. It turns out that the First Prince is also an ordinary person, hahaha..."
Lin Chen listened to their gossip, didn't participate, didn't stop, but kindly reminded: "Since you know that the two princes will send someone, you'd better keep your voice down."
The two princes: ...
The eldest prince gritted his teeth: "Xu Feng was not killed by my people!"
The fourth prince's eyes were deep: "Then I haven't sent any words."
He doesn't care who killed Xu Feng and how he died, anyway, if something happened to his people, the eldest prince must take the blame!
Didn't the First Prince do the same?
Everyone behaves the same way, why pretend to be innocent?You are innocent in this matter, but you will not be innocent in the previous one and the next one!
The two of them pinched when they got together, there was no surprise, it took a long time, and there was plenty of time for them to pinch, Zhou Yao stopped paying attention, stood up, and walked along the wall in small steps.
The Chongbao auction was held in this venue. He only saw a door, but not any place to store things. Where were the things put?
As he walked, he paused, as if he saw Wang Jia.
This young man is easy to recognize, young, short in stature, thin, and exudes lightness and vigor.
But in just a moment, the figure disappeared, as fast as an illusion.
Nothing to do with oneself.
Thinking this way, Zhou Yao continued to move forward.
He walked back and forth in the venue, and went to the official room outside the venue a few times, measured the entire venue with his feet, slowly formed a map, and remembered it in his mind.
After a while, give him a taste, the walls of this place are slightly thicker, and some corners are not the same size, there must be a secret room!
And the underground... doesn't seem to be that quiet either.
But just when he was about to think and investigate deeply, he saw a person.
A thief with an uncle's jade on his body!
The eldest prince was worried about the usefulness of these thieves, he made a suggestion, choose some smart ones to come out to find their way or be a bait for them today, the eldest prince personally picked this person, so he stopped talking, thinking about finding an opportunity at that time ...
Here comes the opportunity!
Zhou Yao let go of the terrain he was thinking about and quietly followed.
This thief's footsteps are sneaky, his expression is wrong, he must be trying to do something...
The thieves' steps are a little brisk, and when they speed up intentionally, it is difficult for others to keep up.Fortunately, there were so many people in the meeting place, the thief couldn't walk quickly without attracting attention, and walked very low-key, so Zhou Yao had to keep up.
Slowly, seeing that he was about to walk out of the crowded area, in what direction to turn, Zhou Yao saw Shang Zhongji.
Shang Zhong has also followed the thief.
Could it be that he was sent by the First Prince to watch out for thieves, to see if there was any profit?
Zhou Yao ducked his body to prevent Shang Zhong from finding out.
After Shang Zhong had followed the thief away, he continued to fall...
until it was stopped.
This man was well-dressed, with dragon patterns embroidered darkly on his cuffs, a white jade belt around his waist, and gold powder sprinkled on his shoes, very recognizable.
Zhou Yao met more than once.
"Four princes."
"You are really not good."
The fourth prince smiled sadly: "How dare you look down on me."
"Why did the fourth prince say such a thing? I dare not bear this charge for no reason."
Seeing the thief and Shang Zhong disappear from sight, Zhou Yao felt a little heartbroken, and his voice was a bit mean.
The fourth prince reached out and grabbed his neck, and threw him against the wall: "Do you really think I won't kill you!"
Zhou Yao didn't struggle either: "Fourth Prince, please feel free."
The fourth prince squinted his eyes, and gradually tightened his big hands——
After a while, he shook off Zhou Yao.
"Troublesome villain!"
Because he was angry in his heart, he shook Zhou Yao more vigorously, not only pinching Zhou Yao's neck with a bruise, but also drawing a bloodstain on the side of Zhou Yao's face, near the base of the ear.
The pain is secondary, the key is face.
The prince of a country, being oppressed and bullied like this, would feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Yao didn't seem to notice it at all, neither angry nor angry, his face was calm, no different from before.
He just lowered his eyes slightly, straightening his slightly messy clothes: "The fourth prince is on a high place, and he speaks happily, but he knows that the other party doesn't know anything. This kind of communication will have counterproductive effects—someone who still doesn't know the attitude of the fourth prince." Why, why didn't the fourth prince open the skylight and speak brightly?"
Chongbao is about to be auctioned, and the emperor also announced the Zen seat, and the fourth prince can't wait any longer, and he wasn't prepared to go around in circles.
"Where is your uncle?"
Zhou Yao's eyes and pupils tightened suddenly: "My uncle?"
"Yes, your uncle, who came to Chu with you and disappeared within two days after entering the capital, where is he now?"
Why did the fourth prince want to find his uncle?
Are you still looking for it so urgently?
Zhou Yao's eyes drooped slightly, and he covered his eyes to think: "If you really pay attention, you should know, I don't know where he went, and now I'm stranded in Chu, and I'm waiting for him."
The fourth prince stared at Zhou Yao closely, as if judging whether he was lying: "He is your uncle, will you really lose contact?"
"Believe it or not, fourth prince," Zhou Yao raised his eyes, and started the first test of the day, "Could it be that the fourth prince was also persuaded by someone to think that my uncle had something to do with the disappearance of Chongbao? It wasn't my intention to look for my uncle." To defend my uncle, my uncle does not know martial arts, nor does he know about theft, he has seen a lot of royal treasures, so there is no need for me to be involved in such a thing."
The fourth prince snorted coldly: "Think I'm that stupid person?"
Zhou Yao immediately understood that it was not Yuxi that the fourth prince was looking for his uncle.
But my uncle only got involved with this matter a little bit, without any doubts... What is it that he doesn't know?
He smiled slightly, revealing dimples, with a cute face, and a special, slow and easy-to-quiet rhythm in his voice: "Although my uncle has not returned from business, the fourth prince has a good saying. Xiaoqing, my uncle will share with me what the Fourth Prince is looking for, if it is convenient, why not tell me, if I know, I can directly explain to the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince looked at Zhou Yao and frowned tightly.
He was hesitating whether to listen to Zhou Yao or not.
This matter is a secret, it is only circulated among the emperors of various countries, the prince may not be entitled to know, he does not want Zhou Yao to take advantage of it.
But as Zhou Yao, knowing his current position is useless.
Besides, Zhou Yao was very difficult to deal with. He was a step too late, making Zhou Yao the eldest prince by accident. It would be inconvenient for him to ask questions.
After struggling for a while, Xu Shi had the first question in his heart, and he still asked, "Your uncle, did you mention the word 'Shengyu' to you?"
"Victory?"
Zhou Yao's first thought was, what the hell?
Turning my mind again, I remembered the miscellaneous notes I had read, but I knew it was a joke.
Shengyu, who grew up in Yushan, is a kind of bird with fiery red body. It feeds on fish and its cry is like the sound of deer. According to legend, this is an ominous bird that will bring floods. Wherever it appears, it will There will be floods, and in severe cases, the country will perish.
But what does the bird have to do with uncle?
Seeing Zhou Yao's expression, the fourth prince knew that he didn't know, and was very disappointed.
If he wanted to be a stable monarch, he had to pay attention to those who had a chance to meet him. He tried all means to get this edict, and even the eldest prince didn't know it.
As soon as he learned this sentence, he heard Zhou Yao's uncle say these two words when he was listening to the people below to learn how to spread the gossip.
Is this still available?
Shengyu is an ominous bird, but in the speech, it said to pay attention to the person who has Shengyu, but did not say to be careful, so it is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse. Even if it is a disaster, he can get it and use it later. To the Great Prince's camp...
Because of uncertainty, he didn't dare to really kill Zhou Yao, who knows if that victory will bring him disaster?
After waiting for so long, there is still no news...
Well, he was still impatient.
The fourth prince lightly patted Zhou Yao's face, with a sinister smile on his lips: "You can remember, next, live well... Don't let the first prince know what happened today. That person is not like you I thought it was so gentle."
Zhou Yao understood that the word "Sheng Yu" is still a secret!
The fourth prince came here like a tornado, and left very simply.
Zhou Yao felt that since his rebirth, there had been a lot of fog. In his previous life, he had missed so many things!
He now understands a sentence very well: Don't worry if you have too many debts, and don't bite if you have too many lice.
There are too many puzzles, so he is not in a hurry, he has to solve them one by one.
He has a wonderful premonition that some of these puzzles will trouble him for a long time, but some, at least before leaving Chudi, can be solved...
He stopped caring about the fourth prince, straightened his clothes, and chased in the direction where the thief left not long ago.
After turning a few corners and bypassing a group of people, he saw Shang Zhongji, who was walking straight in this direction.
Zhou Yao hurriedly avoided, and when Shang Zhong had passed by and would not turn back, he set foot on the road again and walked in the direction Shang Zhong had left.
It's a long road, just around the corner, and there's no one there.
At the end of the road, there is a room.
Zhou Yao stood in front of the room without hearing anything.
He slowly stretched out his hand and pushed open the door——
