If the truth of the relationship is found out, he will not come back to see him. "Then he slapped his horse and galloped away.

In the palace, Bao Zheng, dressed in official uniform, waited anxiously outside the royal study for the official's call. The door opened, and the servant, Eunuch Chen, flicked his whisk and said, "Master Bao, please come in."

Bao Zheng clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask if there are other people in the royal study?"

"Oh, Taishi Pang is also there." Eunuch Chen replied.

Bao Zheng was shocked in his heart, and then he had an ominous premonition: "What is he doing here so late?" Bao Zheng saluted respectfully when he entered the study, and Zhao Zhen said warmly: "Be flat." After thanking Bao Zheng, he stood up and turned to Grand Master Pang on the side saw the ceremony, Pang Ji snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore him, and Bao Zheng didn't care either.

At this time, Zhao Zhen's gentle voice came: "Why did Bao Qing ask to see you late at night?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the case of killing a baby and stealing a heart happened in Yingtianfu a few days ago. Although the real murderer Wei Lishan committed suicide, the Western Region cult Yingyue Palace was behind it. Moreover, I fear that there are other schemes behind them taking the baby's heart, so I ask Your Majesty A decree can be sent to the Lingxiao Mountain Villa, where the cult is located, to arrest the person behind the plot and find out the truth." Bao Zheng said frankly.

"Cult?" Zhao Zhen wondered, "What are they doing in the capital? Are they powerful? Do you still need the Imperial Forest Army?"

"That's right, Mr. Bao, where have all the people in Kaifeng Mansion gone? Isn't there a Yumao Zhanzhao? He is so good at martial arts, what kind of cult is he afraid of? He uses the Imperial Forest Army for such a small matter, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?" Pang Ji said sarcastically from the side.

"That's right, is Zhanwei's poison cured?" Zhao Zhen asked with concern.

Bao Zheng showed a sad look on his black face: "Return to the Holy Lord, when Zhan's guards went to Yingtian Mansion to arrest the real culprit a few days ago, they were unfortunately poisoned by the cult, and their lives were at stake. The Zhan guards obtained the antidote, and a girl named Lin Ruoqing was kidnapped by the cult. The minister ordered the Kaifeng government to arrest the Yamen and surround the Lingxiao Mountain Villa. But the cult is so weird and good at using poison. It is even more difficult. Therefore, I implore the Holy Majesty to send the Imperial Forest Army to stop them and rescue the Lin girl so as to find out the truth." Bao Zheng said with a bow.

"Oh? As long as there is nothing wrong with Zhanwei." Zhao Zhen said with a sigh of relief.

"You have so many arresting officials in Kaifeng Mansion and you can't deal with a few heretics. You really took the salary of the Holy One for nothing. It seems that Kaifeng Mansion is also in vain." Pang Ji sneered, then cupped his hands to Zhao Zhen and said: " Your Majesty, since Zhan Zhao's poison has been cured, why don't you send him to exterminate the cult, so as to live up to His Majesty's favor, what will His Majesty think?"

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Bao Zheng hastily said: "Your Majesty, the guard Zhan's poison has just been cured. How can we destroy the cult while he is still in a coma? I am afraid that it will take time for the cult members to escape. Please, Your Majesty." Think twice."

"It's not too late to go when Zhan Zhao recovers. Could it be that he can't chase a prisoner thousands of miles away with his martial arts?"Bao Zheng looked up at Pang Ji, and his triangular eyes stared back fiercely, as if he was determined to compete with him.Bao Zheng sighed in his heart: Sure enough, Pang Ji is here, and he can mess up everything. "Your Majesty." Bao Zheng was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhen waving his hand: "Okay, as Grand Master Pang said, after Zhan Zhao recovers from his injuries, go to chase the criminals and rescue the captives. It is not appropriate to send out without authorization for the important affairs of the city. This matter is settled like this, there is no need to discuss it again, Bao Qing can go back and make arrangements."

"I obey the order." Bao Zheng bowed and stepped back helplessly, and glanced at Grand Master Pang from the corner of his eyes. His beard was up and down on his white and fat face, and he looked like a villain.

Zhan Zhao felt that the heat from his whole body was gradually receding, all the pain and discomfort seemed to have disappeared, and the only thing left was a sense of powerlessness. In a trance, he felt that he had just walked to Daiyuan Residence. Lin Ruoqing was still busy entertaining guests, and found that he was coming She turned around and gave him a sweet smile. He was about to talk to her, but the scene changed instantly. The gorgeous room, the red curtains, and the flickering fire all around added a touch of weirdness. He walked over by himself, with a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, and charming eyes. He wanted to escape but couldn't move an inch. He watched her lean into his arms and put her hand on his heart. The smile on his face became more charming, and Zhan Zhao's Her heart beat suddenly quickened, but the clear consciousness in her mind told her that this was not Lin Ruoqing, and then her heart felt a sharp pain, she looked down at the place where a slender hairpin was inserted into her heart, only a very short hairpin was exposed, and there was a maniacal laughter , he looked up, the woman's smile trembled, and his eyes gradually blurred...

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes suddenly. The scene in the dream made him break out in a cold sweat. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he found that all the symptoms of poisoning had disappeared except the wound on his left arm. Could it be that the poison had already disappeared? Solved?Then he suddenly remembered that Bai Yutang and Lin Ruoqing went to Lingxiao Villa last night, wondering what happened now?He hurriedly lifted the quilt out of bed, felt dizzy when his feet landed on the ground, and almost fell, someone helped him, and then Xiaojuan's concerned voice came from next to his ear: "Master Zhan, why did you get out of bed just after waking up?" "Xiaojuan," Zhan Zhao grabbed her arm with his backhand and said in a trembling voice, "Tell me, how are Bai Yutang and Miss Lin?"

"Uh, this..." Xiaojuan hesitated to say anything.

"Tell me quickly?" Zhan Zhao's hands tightened.

Xiaojuan opened her mouth helplessly: "I heard that the people from the cult took Miss Lin away and poisoned many yamen servants. Miss Lin exchanged herself for everyone's antidote, and Bai Yutang followed closely Save her."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao let go of his hand and sat down on the side of the bed.

Set off

Zhan Zhaoqiang went to the study with his weak body, and faintly heard voices inside: "My lord, what is the purpose of Grand Master Pang doing this?" Mr. Gongsun's confused voice.

"No matter what he intends to do, the Holy Majesty has already issued an order, and Zhan Huwei must obey the order and go to the Western Regions to destroy the cult. The journey is long and dangerous, which is really worrying." Bao Zheng's worried voice.

"But my lord, if the guard of Zhan knows that Miss Lin bought the antidote, even if there is no imperial decree, he may go to save her, not to mention that this cult is also involved in infanticide." Gongsun Ce said truthfully.

"Yeah, it's just Zhan Zhao's body..." Before Bao Zheng finished speaking, he saw Zhan Zhao in blue clothes standing in front of the door. He stood up in shock, walked up to Zhan Zhao, and walked up and down. I looked him over again: "Guard Zhan, are you awake? How do you feel?" Zhan Zhao smiled gently.

Gongsun Ce on the side hurried forward to get Zhan Zhao's pulse, "How is it?" Bao Zheng asked anxiously.

"Except for the weak pulse condition, there is nothing serious about it." Gongsun Ce said, stroking his beard.

"My lord, since my subordinates are fine, we can leave for the Western Region immediately." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists.

"No, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, and the guards can only be healed from the poisonous injuries. How can the weak body bear such a long journey? What's more, the emperor's order also said that the guards should be cured before going on the road. The guards should stay first. It will not be too late to leave after two days in the mansion," Bao Zheng said.

Zhan Zhao wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Gongsun Ce: "Students have been able to prepare the antidote for the red flame poison in two days, and Zhan's guards can be brought with them when they go on the road, just in case." Looking at the concerned eyes of the two, Zhan Zhao finally nodded slightly.

After coming out of the study, Zhan Zhao heard the sound of firecrackers outside one after another, he was in a daze for a while, and said softly, "Mr. Gongsun, today is..."

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival." Gongsun Ce replied.

"Oh? Is it already the Lantern Festival?" Zhan Zhao still looked at the dry branches of the plane tree not far away with his gentle and bright eyes. In just half a month, for him, he had already experienced the parting of life and death.Zhan Zhao didn't say anything, but left quietly. Gongsun Ce sighed deeply when he saw his still upright but lonely back.

Zhan Zhao walked towards the backyard, and suddenly heard an old man calling: "Master Zhan." He stopped, turned around, saw that it was old man Lin, was slightly taken aback, and then called out with a smile: "Uncle Lin."

"Master Zhan, I see that your complexion is not good, but are you sick?" Old man Lin asked with concern.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "Zhan is fine." Then he asked, "Old man Lin, why are you here?"

"Oh? Ruoqing contacted a few places for dim sum during the Lantern Festival before. After she left, I was too busy and rejected a few of them. Because Ruoqing had always said that Kaifeng Mansion was a life-saving grace for her, so I thought that Kaifeng Mansion would send it over." He held up the dim sum in his hand and said, "No, today I will send it over."

Hearing Lin Ruoqing's name, Zhan Zhao felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He reached out to take the snack and said, "Leave it to me. You can go to the cashier to pay the money." "Thank you Zhan My lord." Old man Lin said gratefully.

Zhan Zhao saw that old man Lin was hesitant to speak, so he asked again: "Old man Lin, is there anything else?"

"Uh, Mr. Zhan, I want to ask Ruoqing when she will return to her hometown in Qingzhou?" Old man Lin hesitantly opened his mouth.

Zhan Zhao was startled: "What? Miss Lin said she went back to her hometown?"

"Yeah, didn't she have no relatives at home? Why did she suddenly go back to her hometown? She left in such a hurry? She didn't even have time for the Lantern Festival. If she hadn't said that she would go with the people from Kaifeng Mansion, I wouldn't mind Don't worry, she's a girl and she's alone." Old man Lin glanced at Zhan Zhao when he said this, and said expectantly, "Zhan Zhao
