treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the inn alone, planning to test Xie Jiutian.

Zhan Zhao sneaked in with great interest, thinking of pretending to be an assassin to assassinate Xie Jiutian, so as to find out his details, but he left happily and returned disappointed.

Bai Yutang was waiting on the roof, and after a while he saw Zhan Zhao running up sullenly, and asked him, "Oh, are you sure that Xie Jiutian entered this inn?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

"But the guest rooms are all empty!" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "It looks like no one lives there!"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "So, he didn't come to stay at the hotel?"

"Why don't you come to the inn and stay at the inn?" Zhan Zhao wondered, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "Looking for someone or doing something!"

Bai Yutang gave a soft "tsk", and frowned slightly, as if he felt a little regretful, "I knew earlier that if I kept staring at him for a while, maybe there would be even bigger discoveries!"

Seeing that he blamed himself, Zhan Zhao patted him, "Who knows why he came here, anyway, he left too, so what shall we do next?"

Bai Yutang was helpless, "Go back to sleep."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes to look at him - just go back like this?

Bai Yutang looked at him for a while, then asked, "What time is it?"

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, "It's getting late!"

"Do you think Luoxin Pavilion is still open?" Bai Yutang smiled faintly.

When Zhan Zhao heard the words "Luoxin Pavilion", he was a little unhappy, "What do you want?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Maybe Xie Jiutian will go there."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao looked elsewhere without interest.

Bai Yutang wanted to stand up, but felt his sleeves being pulled. Looking down, he saw Zhan Zhao looking away, but his hands were pressing on his sleeves.Bai Yutang tugged lightly, but Zhan Zhao didn't let go, and still looked away, as if saying - I didn't mean it, I don't know!

Bai Yutang stared at him for a long time, then sat back, "Hello."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao continued to look at the scenery, but he didn't let go.

Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, and simply lowered his hand to cover Zhan Zhao's hand that was pressing his sleeve.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked back at the hands that were holding each other, and then raised his head to see Bai Yutang looking at the other side, which also meant to say - I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't know either!

The two sat like this, waiting for the other party to speak first, anyway, Qin Pavilion was definitely not going to be able to go... Wait, half an hour has passed.Just like two fools, sitting in the cold wind holding hands, seeing that there is not even a ghost on the dark street.

But at this moment, in the mist far away on the street, a figure came over, judging by his figure, it was Xie Jiutian!

I saw Xie Jiutian walking staggeringly, holding a wine jar in one hand, his face was flushed, and he was still muttering nonsense, it was all dirty jokes.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, but there was no one in the inn, so they went out to drink flowers and wine, as expected, their thieves were hard to change.

After thinking about it, the two packed up their minds and hid behind the roof. Not long after, the figure gradually became clear, and it was indeed Xie Jiutian who had drunk too much.

Zhan Zhao saw that the timing was just right, put on the mask again, raised his hand and shot an arrow with one sleeve, intentionally missed it a little, so that Xie Jiutian could sober up first.

Xie Jiutian was walking forward, when he suddenly saw a flash of cold light, he knew that there was a sneak attack.Although he drank in a daze, he wasn't quite drunk yet, he was startled, sober from the alcohol, and hurriedly avoided it.But before he could react, a masked man had already killed him, approaching menacingly, as if he wanted to take his life.

Xie Jiutian frowned slightly, raised his knife to fight.

After just a few rounds of fighting, Xie Jiutian realized that the opponent's kung fu was not bad, jumped out a step to the outside of the circle, stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked, "Who is your Excellency? What enmity do you have with me?"

Zhan Zhao sneered, "It's useless, it's about to die."

As soon as Xie Jiutian frowned, Zhan Zhao had already taken a step forward, getting close to kill him.He has a good posture, but he still looks a little scary, Xie Jiutian can only parry, the expression in his eyes changes, Zhan Zhao can see that Xie Jiutian is very puzzled and puzzled.

"So that's how it is." Xie Jiutian suddenly took a step back, sneering again and again, "The useless people have to be eliminated, it's really ruthless."

Seeing that he was about to say something, Zhan Zhao pressed on step by step. In the end, Xie Jiutian couldn't stand it anymore, and Zhan Zhaoxuan hit him in the chest. His throat tightened and he thought he was about to vomit blood. He turned over and fell down. Zhao stepped on his heart.

Xie Jiutian was secretly surprised, he didn't expect this person to be so powerful at such a young age.Thinking of this, he felt that a catastrophe was imminent, and he sighed, "Oh... retribution."

Zhan Zhao saw that he was only emotional but couldn't get to the point, so he asked, "Do you have any last words?"

Xie Jiutian was taken aback, looked up at Zhan Zhao, and finally frowned, "You also have something in that woman's hands, right?"

Bai Yutang on the roof nodded secretly——Sure enough, Xie Jiutian was coerced, but he is a reckless man who doesn't care about anything when he walks alone, how could he be controlled by a woman?Is that woman Mrs. Luo Xin?

Zhan Zhao was so clever, he immediately made plans, and looked at Xie Jiutian with a slight frown, seeming a little hesitant.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to be shaken, Xie Jiutian assumed that he was being coerced just like himself. Of course, everyone has the desire to survive, so he whispered, "My today is your future fate!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, a little bit hesitant to do it.

"You and I have no grievances, it's because I'm useless, and it aroused her suspicion, and she asked you to kill me to silence her because she was afraid of missing her important event!" Xie Jiutian continued his efforts, trying to persuade Zhan Zhao, "It's hard to guarantee One day, she also felt that you were useless, and asked someone to eradicate you like me!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and withdrew his palm, "What is her purpose?"

Xie Jiutian smiled helplessly, "I'm just following orders, who knows what she wants to do.

"Then what do you have in her hands?"

Xie Jiutian was slightly taken aback, because it was not the masked man in front of him who asked this question, but someone behind him, and the voice was still familiar.But what surprised him even more was... There was someone so close behind him that he didn't even notice it!

Looking back, I saw a man in white standing there at some point, Mr. Pianpianjia in white, looks familiar!

"You..." Xie Jiutian turned pale with shock after seeing the man's appearance clearly, "Master!"

Bai Yutang felt a chill down his spine and held his forehead, "Don't yell like that! Who is your master?"

"Master!" Xie Jiutian didn't care about these things, he bowed thousands of times, "Hurry up and save this disciple's life, this disciple has some unavoidable difficulties!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, first helped Xie Jiutian up, and followed him back to the inn room.

Xie Jiutian entered the room and wanted to kneel down to salute Bai Yutang. He was so shocked that Bai Yutang's hairs stood on end, "Don't do obeisance, get up and talk!"

"Yes!" Xie Jiutian respectfully stood up and stood aside.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and Zhan Zhao took off the veil of his mask. Xie Jiutian didn't know him, so he asked, "This hero is also very skilled, what's his name?"

Zhan Zhao didn't make a sound, obviously he was still on guard, so Xie Jiutian didn't ask any further questions.

"When you say she, you mean Mrs. Luo Xin?" Bai Yutang asked Xie Jiutian.

"Yes." Xie Jiutian nodded, "Master, this woman is ruthless and scheming. If something falls into her hands, alas... then I can only listen to her advice for the rest of my life."

"What reason do you have for falling into her hands?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Oh, let's not hide it from Master..."

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, and thought to himself, why don't you stop calling me Master!

"A year ago, after I voted for the last vote with my brothers, I divided up the loot on the spot and disbanded the cottage. I stopped doing this job of robbing houses. I just wanted to marry a house wife, become a rich man, and have children. Parenting or something.

But the hijacking of the official bank was somehow known to that woman, and she still has a lot of evidence. I am not afraid of her, but most of my former brothers have already married and established businesses.She used this as a threat to let me obey his words, or let me and my gang of brothers beheaded.So I had no choice but to go into Tokyo with her and hide on weekdays, doing whatever she asked me to do.A while ago, she suddenly asked me to release the news that she was going to kill the person with Liu Heling... I don't even know what the hell that Liu Heling is, but I have no choice but to listen to her.At the very beginning, she asked me to kill Luo Qingshan, seeing me hesitate, she talked about Luo Qingshan's evil deeds back then.I think it's okay for this person to commit crimes and die, but after killing Luo Qingshan, she asked me to kill his daughter... an innocent little girl, how can I do it?So I entered her room while she was sleeping, and when she was in a daze, I told him that I, Xie Jiutian, killed his father and then let her go, wondering if she could go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue me or something, We can't resist, but at least we can make trouble for that woman! "Xie Jiutian told the whole story in one go.

"Have you met Mrs. Luoxin before?" Bai Yutang asked to remind him, to see if he could remember, "I have some grudges with you before."

"Ah? No, I offended her before?" Xie Jiutian obviously forgot what happened back then, "Is that here to seek revenge? Oops."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, but didn't say much, lest Xie Jiutian reveal any flaws after returning and endanger his life, so he continued to ask, "What is her next plan?"

Xie Jiutian shook his head helplessly, "This woman is very scheming, no one knows what she wants to do. Besides, she is better than me now, so I can't hold her!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, Mrs. Luo Xin didn't know what kind of kung fu she was practicing, she suppressed her internal energy so well that she almost thought she didn't know martial arts.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, when he rescued her seven years ago, she didn't know kung fu, how did a weak woman develop such a high internal strength in a short period of time, even a master like Xie Jiutian couldn't beat him?

"That's right!" Xie Jiutian seemed to think of something, "This woman, surrounded by a group of monsters, don't know where she came from!"

"Demons and ghosts?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both heard some clues, "What kind of person?"

"There are a few women who look like ghosts, and there are also some men with high martial arts and demonic aura." Xie Jiutian shook his head, "By the way, they are quite rich!"

"Rich?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "By the way, why did she bring a bag of jewelry with you when she asked you to kill Lu Tiexin?"

"Let me sprinkle the jewels next to Lu Tiexin's body, but it didn't work!" Xie Jiutian shook his head, "As for the purpose, I don't know either!"

After talking for a while, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got a lot of clues, but Mrs. Luo Xin was very cautious. The most important thing, that is, the purpose of her doing this, still didn't find out!

"What are you going to do next?" Bai Yutang asked Xie Jiutian, "Go back?"

"No way, I was poisoned by the poison she gave me. It doesn't matter. My brothers are still kept in the dark. Their wives and children are all poisoned. I have to be obedient!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sighed softly, Zhan Zhao patted him on the shoulder, reminding him to be careful, they will help him find a way.

After leaving the inn where Xie Jiutian was, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried back to Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time, Bao Zheng and the others had just come back, and everyone was a little tired after running around all day, so they sat down to talk.

"My lord, how is the situation in the palace?" Zhan Zhao asked Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng shook his head, "It's nothing serious, but rumors of ghosts spread quickly. Mr. Gongsun is still in the palace. Now Xiangxiang and Concubine Pang's food is checked by him personally. Xiangxiang is sick. The news is still out there, and now everyone in the palace is in danger."

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Lord Bao, now the evidence is convincing that Mrs. Luo Xin did it behind the scenes, why didn't we simply arrest her? Xie Jiutian and others are also witnesses, those who were poisoned, Mr. Gongsun can handle it, if this continues, she may cause more troubles."

"Sigh... Young Master Bai doesn't know something!" Bao Zheng shook his head lightly, "The emperor seems to have other plans, planning to lead out more clues, it seems that there is something hidden behind, we will not know, but the emperor knows !"

"Love, there must be someone behind the scenes." Pang Ji also drank tea from a teacup, "How can a girl make such a fuss? It's impossible for her to make such a big show without helping her. Besides... the key should be On top of her treasures! Why are there so many treasures from the Tang Dynasty? She is just an ordinary little girl."

Everyone was puzzled by this.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Bao Zheng waved his hands to everyone, "Everyone is tired today, let's go rest first, there are other things to do tomorrow!"

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Zhan Zhao also felt sleepy, got on the bed, hugged the big and small tigers under the quilt and lay down, Bai Yutang also wanted to fall asleep, but heard someone knocking on the door.

Opening the door, Pang Yu and Bao Yan stood at the door with big dark circles under their eyes, holding a few volumes in their hands.

"Haha..." Pang Yu yawned, "We found some clues!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up immediately and let them come in to talk.

Bao Yan opened the dossier and said, "It is said that Tang Taizong once wanted to store a batch of jewelry, gold and silver for future needs. He built a big ship to transport jewelry, but a big ship capsized on the way, and the boat and jewelry sank into the According to some records, most of these treasures were obtained by Emperor Taizong in his early years, and the common feature is that none of the seals are stamped with the imperial jade seals! They are the jade seals for granting orders to the fields."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's hearts moved slightly - wouldn't that be the same as Liu Heling?Sure enough, it's all tied together.

"But if there are these treasures, why did they end up in Mrs. Luo Xin's hands?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Is it impossible for her to find the sunken ship?"

Bao Yan smiled slightly, opened a few pages of a Tang Dynasty unofficial history, found one of them and showed it to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

"Do you know why Emperor Taizong built Liuhe Ling back then?" Bao Yan smiled, a little smugly, obviously he had found a clue.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at it carefully, and then suddenly realized after reading it——According to the unofficial history, Taizong loved a Qin Ji, but she was the royal jewel of the Sui Dynasty, and would never be accepted by the officials at that time.

But this Qin Ji is good at singing and dancing, and she likes to use peacock feathers as decorations, and she likes to wear white... One day she was dancing among the peonies in the courtyard, and Taizong suddenly had an illusion.Qin Ji has a graceful figure like a crane, and the peacock feathers are dazzling when she dances, and the white peony makes her look like the fairy in the cloud, so she made this gilt crane feather for her to keep well.

Later, there were more and more people who opposed her in the palace, and Taizong couldn't hide her in the palace, so he wanted to build a palace for her, and sent several boats of jewels as her betrothal gift!

"Several boats..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately thought of that capsized treasure ship!

"But unofficial history can't be tested, maybe it's just a rumor." Zhan Zhao frowned and pondered, "Could it be that Qin Ji is the ancestor of Mrs. Luo Xin, with so much money, why did she live a rough life when she was a child? Which sentence is true? Is that sentence false?"

"Well, although unofficial history cannot be studied, it may not be without reason!" Pang Yu smiled, "Besides, that was Qin Ji back then, and Mrs. Yuehe was also Qin Ji, and now Mrs. Luo Xin is still Qin Ji. This is a competition with Qin. Or something!"

After everyone finished talking about the clues, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sent Bao Yan and Pang Yu back to sleep for a while, and they also lay on the bed, thinking about their thoughts.
