Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Marquis Yin followed Bao Zheng to the palace early in the morning. He came here for breakfast once before, but this time he came for the second time. Bao Zheng and Zhao Zhen went to the front yard to discuss matters. Zhao Yuanzuo probably won't come until a while later.

It was not easy for Marquis Yin to go to the harem where women were all, so he had to wander around in the imperial garden.

Nangong Ji was in charge of entertaining Marquis Yin, Zhao Zhen ordered him to be very respectful.

Yin Hou was in the imperial garden, with his hands behind his back, staring at a few peacocks by the pond.

Nangong Ji stood behind him cautiously, looking at the man in front of him who looked only in his 30s.Yin Hou looks really young!It is really difficult to connect him with more than 100 years old.Nangong Ji has witnessed Tianzun's demeanor before, that kind of pure inner strength, as the rumors say, Tianshan is the birthplace of martial arts in the world, Tianzun's white hair and appearance like a banishment really make people feel A feeling of being a saint.

But Yin Hou in front of him...how should I put it?Three words - there is a monster!

Yin Hou looks more like Zhan Zhao's cousin than his grandfather, but he and Zhan Zhao's particularly cheerful personality is completely opposite. Except for some similarities in the corners of their eyes and brows, the two have nothing in common at all. Word.

This man is all black, from hair to boots, black!Especially those eyes, as black as night, deep and hard to see the edge.

Nangong Ji always thought that Zhao Pu might be the most suitable person in the world for black, but today he realizes that his vision is too shallow!They are also all in black. It turns out that there is such a difference between black and black.

Zhao Pu is dressed in black, which gives people a domineering and heavy feeling, but it does not cause uneasiness. On the contrary, it is very reliable like his BMW black owl who is always crazy but calm at critical moments.

Yin Hou was different, his whole body was full of "evil", a sense of uncertainty, a strong sense of uneasiness that should only be experienced by ghosts, monsters and sprites.

When Yin Hou and Zhan Zhao were together before, it wasn't so obvious, maybe the pampering and love in his eyes when he saw Zhan Zhao covered up a lot of his own temperament.

Now that he is standing alone, he always feels that the "monster aura" around him is too heavy, or the "ghost aura" is soaring to the sky.Nangong even felt that he had some inexplicable fear and uncomfortable feeling... Maybe Yin Hou's internal energy was too high, which affected him.

Yin Hou is squatting by the river right now and looking at a certain position in the middle of the lake. Zhan Zhao will be very chic when doing the same action, Tianzun will be cute when doing it, Bai Yutang will be handsome when doing it, but when Yin Hou does it... ...has an eerie, demonic feel to it.

Nangong was thinking wildly, when he saw the only white peacock in the palace, suddenly spread its wings and flew over from the center of the lake, spread its wings, shook off its beautiful white feathers, and flew towards Yinhou.

Peacocks are not good at flying, so they flap their wings a few times before falling down, but they fly really beautifully, especially this white peacock.

This white peacock actually has some origins.

At the beginning, there were twenty peacocks in the imperial garden, ten blue peacocks and ten green peacocks.The queen mother and concubines like it very much, and have raised it for many years, during which they gave birth to a lot, and even hatched a pure white peacock the year before last.

White peacocks are very rare. This is only a male. It has been bred for two or three years. It has white feathers, long and plump tail feathers, beautiful and noble.

This white peacock is good at everything, but he has a bad temper. He is afraid of being close to people, or maybe he is arrogant...I usually stand on the rockery in the middle of the lake and call him. He never comes down, and he is not willing to get close to people. , food temptation does not work.This peacock is quite courageous and cannot be frightened. Zhao Zhen liked it very much and named it Tianyue, which means that this peacock is lovable.

I don't know what happened today, but Tianyue flew across the lake with fluttering wings and landed in front of Yin Hou.

Yin Hou stretched out his hand to poke its forehead, and lightly touched the feather crest on its head, exclaiming, "What a bird!"

The corner of Nangong's mouth twitched - he would have been beaten if he had been the second one.

The peacock even barked twice, as if to agree with it, and twisted its long neck to rub against Yin Hou's sleeve, as if to please him.

"Heh." Yin Hou raised one corner of his mouth, laughed, and patted Tianyue on the head, "Stupid bird."

Tianyue also seemed to be very upset, just stood beside Yin Hou, quietly.

Nangong knew that his expression at this time must be very funny - this peacock is also cheap enough, usually the emperor, empress dowager and a large group of court ladies and eunuchs would not buy it, but today when he saw Yin Hou, he took the initiative to come up to him and scolded it It's still stinky, what's the situation?

Nangong shook his head and really couldn't figure it out. When he raised his head... he was stunned.

Yin Hou who was standing by the lake was gone, but the white peacock was standing aside, combing its feathers.

Nangong hurriedly looked around... but Marquis Yin was nowhere to be seen.

When I was in a hurry, I heard someone behind me say, "Is your master's surname You?"

Nangong was startled, turned around, and saw Yin Hou standing behind him.

"Uh... how do you know?" Nangong recovered and was surprised when he remembered.

"It's true." Yin Hou smiled faintly, "You have learned Kung Fu [-]% like him, even your bad habits are exactly the same."

Nangong was stunned, "Bad habit?"

"Yeah." Yin Hou seemed to be in a good mood, and sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard, "You are like your master, you are very alert, but you tend to get distracted when you look at things."

Nangong was in a daze.

"Stay far away." Yin Hou pointed to an open space not far away.

Nangong went over obediently and stood there.

Yin Hou picked up a few peanuts on the table casually, "I said right, you turn left, and then catch the peanuts I threw over."

Nangong nodded, and felt that it was not difficult.

"Right side." Yin Hou said lazily, Nangong immediately looked to the left... At the same time, he heard a "whoosh" in his right ear.

When he turned around... the peanut had already landed.

Nangong stood there in a daze, if the one just now was a dart, then he would be dead!

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "Left."

Then Nangong immediately turned to the right, while paying attention to the left, but in this flash... Peanut passed by his left ear.

Nangong was stunned on the spot, if Yin Hou used his internal force, he would admit it, anyway, he couldn't handle it.But Yin Hou was just throwing peanuts casually, without any internal energy at all. The peanuts were so slow that he could hear and see them, but he just couldn't catch them, as if his eyes couldn't keep up.

Yin Hou took a mouthful of peanuts and shook his head, "The reaction is too slow, right."

Nangong was flustered by Yin Hou's "left and right", but for a long time, he didn't receive a single peanut.

After all, Nangong is the number one expert in the imperial palace, with extraordinary kung fu and talent, he has never been so frustrated in his life.

Yin Hou had a good time and didn't forget to hurt others, "You use your brain, why are you so stupid."

Nangong grinds his teeth - this is the first time in his life that someone scolds him for being stupid.

"Oh." Yin Hou crossed his legs and leaned against the table and asked him, "Do you think Zhan Zhao's kung fu is not good?"

"Okay." Nangong nodded, "Among the rising stars in martial arts today, they are definitely the best."

"What about Bai Yutang?" Yin Hou asked further.

"Hmm... Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are completely different types, but kung fu can be said to be equal."

Yin Hou smiled, "What about Zhao Pu?"

"Hmm... The princes seem to be of different types, and they should be similar. The three of them have their own strengths..." Nangong lowered his voice as he seemed to have something to say.

"That's right. If a person wants to stand out, he must have his own characteristics." Yin Hou saw that he was enlightened, and nodded, "If you just learn from your master, even if you practice until you are a hundred years old, you will not be able to surpass him. Your master sees things well. The defect is because he is born with bad habits. You have no defects. You have to be more confident in being a human being. Think about what you have in yourself. Eyes, ears, mouth and nose are all yours. Use them and don’t waste them.”

After finishing speaking, Yin Hou raised his hand, "The left side..."

Nangong didn't move, he stretched out two fingers to catch the peanut that flew to his ear, after catching it, he seemed to be stunned too.

Afterwards, Yin Hou didn't even say hello, he flicked two peanuts over, and Nangong also caught the two peanuts without even thinking about it.

Yin Hou smiled, nodded and stood up, "Children can be taught." After finishing speaking, he folded his arms and strolled outside the imperial garden, "Where is the legendary imperial dining room? I will visit it."

"It's... in front." Nangong hurried up a few steps to lead the way for Marquis Yin.At the same time, he felt like he was waking up from a dream, and his goosebumps were rising. What did Yin Hou teach him just now?He felt as if he had been reborn.

In fact, at Nangong's level of martial arts, although he practiced every day, there was really not much room for improvement. He also felt that if he continued like this, he would fall back if he did not advance.Today, Yin Hou pointed out his problem just by taking a look at it. With one word, he found the second way!Nangong Ji felt that he should really kowtow to Yin Hou to express his gratitude. This sentence brought him to a higher level and benefited him a lot.Nangong secretly took note of the benefit that Marquis Yin gave, and it might not be possible to return it to Marquis Yin in the future, but at least, it could be returned to Zhan Zhao.

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought of new clues, and they went to the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion to find Tong Dabao.

In other words, Tong Dabao, that oolong bandit, was very confused. After being caught, he was first locked up in a prison.But Tong Dabao is a fool and a good person, and he is also very enthusiastic. Bao Zheng asked him to be released first, and temporarily arranged him in the backyard, together with his group of troubled brothers, and the yamen guards were not very strict with them. .

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found him, Tong Dabao was building a house in the backyard.

Zhan Zhao visited inside and out, and praised Tong Dabao, as expected, he was in the timber business, and the house was built very well.

Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coming, Tong Dabao immediately ran over, "Yo, Mr. Zhan, why are you here for a walk?"

"Tong Dabao." Zhan Zhao waved to him, "Are you free? Have a cup of tea."

"Free!" Tong Dabao smiled and followed Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to the stone table in the yard and sat down.

The maid brought refreshments.

While drinking tea, Tong Dabao asked Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, have you found Peach Blossom Empress?"

Zhan Zhao waved his hand lightly, "It's coming soon, Tong Dabao, let's recall again, when you went to live in Taohuazhai, there were 36 women, right?"

"Yes!" Tong Dabao nodded.

"Each of them stayed with you for ten days, and then they left one after another, right?"

"Yes!" Tong Dabao then nodded.

"When you were with them, what did you mainly do?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Playing the piano, drawing, eating and drinking every day." Tong Dabao rubbed his head, "Nothing special."

"Think carefully." Zhan Zhao reminded.

"Hmm..." Tong Dabao crossed his arms and thought carefully, "Some things are quite strange."

"Where?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, these girls have different personalities and appearances. They don't talk about their own affairs, and when I'm with them, I seem to be confused."

"What kind of muddled way?" Bai Yutang seemed to have heard some clues, and asked with a frown.

"Actually, I haven't figured it out until now. You see, I'm so ugly, so stupid...and I'm not as young, handsome and suave as the two of you. How could there be so many good-looking girls like me? But I just didn't remember to ask Ah! I don't think it's unreasonable, now it looks like a dream."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

"Are you sure you have lived in Peach Blossom Village for a full year?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.

"That's right!" Tong Dabao nodded, "It was just one year, and when I got home, the business collapsed."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

"Then before you went to the Peach Blossom Forest to seek the Peach Blossom Empress, did you see or smell any strange things or smells?" At this time, Gongsun walked in, "For example, a wisp of colored smoke, or a burst of special aroma or odor."

"Uh..." Tong Dabao was stunned for a long time, then slapped his head, "Yes! When I entered the Peach Blossom Forest that day, I saw a layer of faint smoke, so I thought the Peach Blossom Empress was a fairy who came down to earth! The smoke smells so good It smells so good! I have never smelled such a good scent in my life. By the way, when I lived in Taohuazhai, I kept asking about this scent!"

"It seems that you are right!" Gongsun reached out and patted Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, "He is indeed the key person!"

"What's going on?" Tong Dabao wondered, looking left and right, not quite sure what was going on.

Zhan Zhao patted him on the shoulder, "You can be considered a fool, thanks to you this time." After finishing speaking, the three of them left Tong Dabao, who was still puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and left.

……

Back in the front yard, Tianzun is playing chess with the fourth son.

Gongsun leaned over curiously, and squeezed the fleshy buttocks of the fourth son, "When did you learn to play chess? Hey, you still play chess."

The fourth son narrowed his eyes, "Jiujiu taught me!"

Tianzun saw that everyone was in a hurry, and asked with a smile, "Have you found any clues?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao sat down next to Tianzun, and took a trick to eat the horse of the fourth son.

The fourth son twisted a small pimple between his brows, holding his face...

"I used to wonder why such a bizarre thing happened to that idiot Tong Dabao?" Zhan Zhao said, "There is nothing that happens for no reason in this world. This is the clue that has always been around us, but we have ignored it.”

Tianzun was quite curious, "Let's listen to the detailed explanation."

"The case is so complicated this time. It is full of intoxication and peach blossoms, poison and witchcraft. Everything is reasonable and reasonable, but this Tong Dabao is so abrupt and incomprehensible!" Zhan Zhao explained, "Think carefully, Everything he has experienced is too weird to be true. But he doesn't seem to be lying, so there is only one possibility... that is, he has never experienced all this! But he feels that he has experienced it! "

Tianzun nodded slightly when he heard this, "You mean, the Peach Blossom Village and the Peach Blossom debt he has experienced are all hallucinations?"

"I sent people to Tong Dabao's hometown to check. Indeed, many people there knew him, but everyone said that he disappeared suddenly, and then his shop collapsed overnight!"

"Overnight?" Tianzun touched his chin.

"There are a lot of peach blossom forests near Tong Dabao's house, he probably begged for the Peach Blossom Empress there." Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I was thinking, since I can't think of Tong Dabao's excellence, could it be just a coincidence ?”

Tianzun frowned slightly and nodded, "You mean, the blind cat in the bag bumped into a dead mouse, accidentally bumped into each other, and had an adventure. For this reason, even if Empress Peach Blossom didn't want to, she still wanted to choose him?"

Zhan Zhao nodded in admiration and flattered, "Tianzun is really smart."

After finishing speaking, I saw the fourth son "snap" and said, "Eat the gun!"

Zhan Zhao followed the trend, "Eat the car!"

The fourth son continued to hold his face, "Hmm..."

"Brother Zhan and Brother Bai thought the problem was in the peach blossom forest, so I asked the shadow guard to pick some peach blossoms from the peach forest that Tong Dabao begged for the Peach Blossom Empress." Gongsun took out a white jade bowl with a few pink flakes in it. peach blossom.

"Is there really a problem?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well! These peach blossoms are all poisonous, and the poison is very special!" Gongsun explained to everyone in detail, "In the poison, there is a talk about nourishing the poison! Especially some poisons that cause hallucinations are very troublesome every time they are refined. It takes a long time of several years or even ten years. But you can’t do a lot at once, and it will deteriorate and lose its effectiveness after a long time.”

"Is it really troublesome?" Bai Yutang asked, "I have to make it fresh before using it every time."

Gongsun laughed and said, "There is a way to solve it, just like ink, simply make a big piece of ink, and grind some water out every time before writing, it will be convenient."

Everyone can understand.

"This kind of poison is called poisonous ink." Gongsun said, "it literally means, with poisonous ink, you just need to dissolve a little bit of water before using poison, or burn a little bit with fire, and you can make poison! That is the poison of drunken flowers!"

The crowd nodded.

"At the same time, poisonous ink is a very strange existence." Gongsun said, "In addition to making poison, it can also make antidote!"

"This seems very complicated." Zhan Zhao said, while harassing the fourth son who was scratching his head and wondering what to do next.

"But there is a problem, the antidote is different from the poison!" Gongsun smiled, "The antidote can only be produced once, and it won't go bad if stored for a long time."

"Is this Poison Ink quite willful!" Zhan Zhao laughed.

"The antidote to the poisonous ink is formed in the process before the completion of the poisonous ink. For example, before the production of the poisonous ink is completed, there is the last process of firing. Then when burning, the last wisp of smoke produced is the antidote. Medicine. As long as a person inhales this kind of smoke, his flesh and blood can interpret it, and the first person who smells it will never be poisoned by this kind of poison in his life!" Gongsun said, "I think about it, the person who was poisoned before People are all obedient, but Tong Dabao has an illusion. In fact, this illusion is completely in line with his own mind. He is seeking marriage, so he gave him marriage! It is completely opposite to those who were poisoned later. The temperament of the two empresses in the palace A big change, being poisoned is all bad things in the illusion, and getting the antidote is all good things in the illusion. The antidote itself is poisonous, and the principle is to fight poison with poison."

Everyone suddenly realized that although it was complicated, Gongsun explained it very clearly!

"You mean, when Tong Dabao crashed into the Peach Blossom Forest to beg Peach Blossom Empress, he accidentally smelled the first puff of smoke, which was the only antidote?" Tianzun asked, "And why Peach Blossom Empress didn't kill him?" , because this person cannot be killed, he is the antidote!"

"Tong Dabao did say that he smelled and remembered seeing smoke." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It means that his deduction is correct."

"That Peach Blossom Empress probably has nothing to do with Tong Dabao, but she can't hide or tuck her with her, so it's troublesome." Bai Yutang said, "So she came up with a plan to make Tong Dabao mistakenly think that she really went to Peach Blossom Village for a year. .It is intentional to let him come to rob, because he will meet Master Bao's patrol team when he robs wherever he must go."

"Where is the safest place to hide Tong Dabao?" Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, "Keep it in Kaifeng Mansion, it's safer than keeping it with you. Whenever you want it, just come to Kaifeng Mansion to arrest it, or... ask someone to take it back!"

"Everything was arranged by the Peach Blossom Empress!" Tianzun suddenly seemed to have figured something out, "It seems that if Tong Dabao went to the Peach Blossom Forest to ask for the Peach Blossom Empress that day instead of the Peach Blossom Empress, it is very likely that everything after , have also become Empress Pear Blossom!"

"The Peach Blossom Killing is used to confuse the public." Bai Yutang also agreed, "It's all a scheming plan. Tong Dabao caused troubles for the other party, but it also caused a few times."

At this time, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and Wang Chao Ma Han brought several yamen servants to arrest a large number of Tong Dabao's followers, and tied them up one by one.

"I was wondering before, that Peach Blossom Empress is interesting enough. Wu Lala insisted on saving foreigners, why didn't she save the people nearby? Probably because there are no Han people under her command, and her cronies are all foreigners." Zhan Zhao smiled, "Before Send people to monitor you, and found someone who secretly has a lot of light skills, and sneaked away while the guards were not paying attention, and reported the news."

Holding the cup, Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Before you told those yamen servants not to watch Tong Dabao too closely, and Mr. Bao even released him from the dungeon, just to test these people?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "These foreigners are not honestly handed over to Tong Dabao to be his servants, but the internal support of Empress Peach Blossom. In this way, they can break into the Kaifeng mansion without much effort, and at the same time, they can keep an eye on her." The antidote!"

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly enlightened, and at the same time looked at Zhan Zhao silently.

Gongsun couldn't help but be speechless, Zhan Zhao usually knew how to eat with a smile on his face, and most of the time he was even a bit "loafer". He always thought that he was just a hero with a very cheerful personality and good kung fu, not too suitable for the government's intrigue.But looking at it now, Zhan Zhao is a ghost, he prepared it earlier than anyone else... and his mouth is still tight, and he won't open his mouth until the evidence of the crime is conclusive!Sure enough, getting to such a position in the arena at such a young age is by no means easy. There is a reason why Mr. Bao values ​​him so much.

Bai Yutang continued to drink his tea, and saw Tianzun winking at him -- oops!I thought it was a cat with sharp claws, but I didn't expect it to be a tiger with hidden claws.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun with his chin in his hand, not understanding what he wanted to express.

Tianzun curled his lips and smiled, "Be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, the fourth son suddenly grabbed a chess piece and "snapped", "General!"

Zhan Zhaozhang was silent for a moment, and then said, "This round is not counted, it's under Tianzun!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly——are you playing tricks on the fourth son?

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, and innocently changed the topic, "Suddenly want to eat candy and don't give up."
