Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

At this time, Huanxi Town was quiet after nightfall, only the whistling of the wind, and even the voice of night owl could be heard. The women were just playing around behind the counter of the inn, and no one opened the door of the inn to go out.

Gongsun Ce even saw a familiar figure - Mulan.

Gongsun Ce looked at Mulan, remembering the oolong in his previous life, and couldn't help nodding and smiling at Mulan. Mulan seemed a little reserved, but her eyes were clearly vigilant.

Both Mulan and Xiaoman appeared here, but Mulan's enemy Huang Le did not appear. It is said that he died in an accident?But what about Xiao Jun?If both An Guotai and Huang Le were dead, then Xiao Jun would be missing.Mulan came here because of Xiao Jun, right?

Suddenly the back of his hand was touched, Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, looked at Bao Zheng, smiled apologetically, and turned to look at Yelv Wencai.

"You can't walk outside at night. I heard the proprietress here say, but you have to see everything with your own eyes, right?" Yelvwen said with a frown. He didn't believe it, but it was just the ignorance and superstition of the people.He couldn't move around after nightfall, he guessed it had something to do with Tianmang.

"You and I are not the only ones who know about Tianmang. At this time, the people who come here are all for Tianmang. Every year, some people go missing in Huanxi Town." Gongsun Ce said softly, "The legend of Tianmang has been revealed a long time ago. It exists. Every year, people come here to look for it, but they can’t find it.”

Yelvwen just frowned. Then, it means that there is no need to solve the riddle of the three major artifacts. It is a waste of time. Wait, how did Gongsun Ce know?

"How did Mr. Gongsun know?" Yelu Wen looked at Gongsun Ce suspiciously.

"Young Master Yelu...have never read the county chronicles?" Bao Zheng said abruptly, with a hint of displeasure, "Didn't Young Master Yelu make any preparations before coming to a strange place?"

Yelvwen was at a loss for words for a moment.As the Great King of the Southern Academy of Daliao, how could he need to make these travel preparations?

"Read the county annals, this is the most basic." Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, his tone soft and somewhat helpless, one advantage of being the master of Kaifeng Mansion, that is, you can check the library in the palace anytime and anywhere, and worship a certain Thanks to Mr. Huang, now every month, Kaifeng Mansion will receive handwritten history books, asking him to read them, give comments, and polish the pen by the way.

——He has the ability to never forget. Those historical books that have been embellished have long been printed in his mind. Naturally, he will not miss the two Huanxi Towns. thing.

"Then, when you come to a place, talk to the local elders more, and you will always gain something." After they entered Huanxi Town, Gongsun Ce chatted a few words with the old man who was basking in the sun at the east gate.Know a few things:

——A lot of people come to Huanxi Town every year, including people from Liao Kingdom and Xixia.

——Many people come to Huanxi Town to look for the legendary Tianmang every year, but in the end they all disappeared.

——The rules set by the ancestors, you can't walk around after dark.

——Finally, there are no mice in Huanxi Town.

"The thing they are looking for is not called Tianmang, but the medicine of immortality." Gongsun Ce took a sip of tea slowly and continued, "It is said that when Xu Fu left Daqin, he was ordered to find the medicine of immortality for the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. And those people said that the elixir is in Huanxi Town."

Yelvwen frowned, "Tianmang is the elixir?"

"The Tianmang we understand may be the same thing as what they are looking for, or it may not be." Bao Zheng said in a deep voice at this time, "But those people are all missing. This shows that this place is very dangerous."

"If the legend is true, and Xu Fu really put the elixir or the very important Tianmang here, then it is impossible for him to do nothing and let you take things away easily." Gongsun Ce whispered As he said that, he thought about Xiao Ruoshui's innocent killing appearance in his previous life... Bao Zheng believed that she was out of necessity, and still agreed that she was a kind girl, but killing is killing. It's not what it used to be.

——Because of Xiao Ruoshui, he and Bao Zheng had their first disagreement.

——Because of the little kite, he and Bao Zheng were indifferent for several days.

Bao Zheng may be because of the little kite, but he is because of differences in ideas.At that time, he suddenly discovered that although Bao Zheng was upright, sometimes it was not clear black and white, but he himself, who could not tolerate a grain of sand, was wrong.

——Perhaps this is the case, Bao Zheng can ride the officialdom, but he can't.

The scholar was angry, thinking of his previous life, Pang Tong once commented on him like this.

"If that's the case, that's really interesting." Yelvwen laughed, with a bit of excitement, "Is it the legendary secret medicine of the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty? You can't catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. Thank you two for telling me, but Since I came here, I don’t intend to return empty-handed. It’s getting late at this time, and I’ll have tea with you two tomorrow.” After Yelvwen finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said goodbye.

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, saw Yeluwen bid farewell, turned around and went up to the second floor, a person walked out of a wing room on the second floor, Gongsun Ce took a closer look, Xiao Jun?Mulan's enemy?

Then Xiao Jun respectfully made a big gift to Ye Luwen from the Liao Kingdom, and after chatting for a few words, Xiao Jun went back to the room.

"A Ce, let's go." Bao Zheng glanced at Xiao Jun and frowned. That man looked like a greedy person, not a good person.A Ce stared at what he was doing.

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, nodded, looked at the second floor, and called Xiaoman, "Miss Xiaoman, where is our room?"

Xiaoman snorted, threw down the cloth to wipe the table, and walked over, "Follow me." Then he began to mock and sarcasm again, "Don't tell me in advance, look, there is no room, just This room, anyway, you don’t need a lamp, hahaha..."

Gongsun Ce smiled wryly, and looked at the innermost room - there was only one window, facing the dark street, the room was very small, and there was only one bed, one table, and two chairs.

"Thank you, Miss Xiaoman." Bao Zheng didn't dislike it, and bowed his hands to Xiaoman solemnly.

——Successfully made Xiaoman leave angrily again.

"Bao Zheng..." Gongsun Ce sighed, "How do you sleep?"

Bao Zheng glanced at the bed and touched it, "Fortunately, it's not damp. I guess this room should be very bright during the day. Go to bed first. I'll read the county records."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he put down the package. Bao Zheng carried the package on his back all the way.Gongsun Ce only realized it at this time, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Are you still watching? It's so late, go to sleep."

Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce, who had already turned around, took off his outer robe and boots, and lay down on the bed.

Bao Zheng slightly raised the corners of his mouth, then quickly smoothed it off, and calmly took off his robe and boots.In bed.

——Then, he hugged Gongsun Ce naturally.

"It's too late, otherwise I'll fetch water for you to wash up."

"Need not."

"You must not feel comfortable without washing."

"...I've come here like this before, it's okay."

"Then close your eyes and go to sleep."

"What did the emperor tell you?"

"It is said that his purpose of coming here is the same as mine, but he has his way, I have my way, and we act separately. Don't worry about him."

"The prince told me one thing."

"what's up?"

"The emperor denied the relationship between Pang Niangniang and him when he was away, and told Hero Lu that Pang Niangniang is not engaged yet."

"...The emperor... seems to have not yet consummated the marriage with Pang Niangniang."

"Oh...ah? Wait, how did you know that?!"

"...I can see it."
