treacherous world

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao got up early, and went into the palace with the fourth son and Xiao Liang.

Zhao Zhen heard the intention of the two of them, and gave them a gold medal, allowing them to enter the Tibetan Jade Pavilion.The fourth son and Xiao Liang also ran in to have a look. The two little fellows still remembered where the piece of jade was placed, and came to the box.

"Be careful." Zhan Zhao hugged Xiao Si who was about to open the box, exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, and carefully opened the box with his sword.

It was the same as when Xiaosi and the others looked at it before, there was no mechanism in the box, only an ordinary jade biscuit lying there, the shape was exactly the same as Liuheling, the difference was that Liuheling was made of gold, this one was made of jade.

"Cat." Bai Yutang frowned suddenly, "Does the texture of this jade look familiar?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses, "Ah! It's like Yue Liuli!"

"Could it be that there are hidden secrets inside?" Bai Yutang said, picked up the jade, and held it up to the light for Zhan Zhao to see.

Zhan Zhao looked at it for a long time, then nodded, "Well, there is also a picture on it, did you see it?"

Bai Yutang looked at the fourth son and Xiao Liang. The fourth son squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything, so he shook his head with Xiao Liang.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, the same situation as last time, only Zhan Zhao could see it.

Zhan Zhao is also mentally weak at this time, here he comes again!At first, I thought that there must be nothing about his elder brother this time, but after looking at it now, I finally got involved.

"But if it's the same as Yue Liuli, it means it's very important. Why did you secretly send it into the palace?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and thought for a while, "Could it be... that you want to hand it over to someone?"

"Then why don't you just give it to me? It's more convenient than going around the palace." Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin in thought.

"Maybe there is no way to give it, but this is the only way?" Bai Yutang thought about it and felt that it was not quite right, "Even if you are in the palace, on the day of the jade recognition meeting, no one can take this jade bi, unless... ..."

"Change a piece?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "However, I still can't figure out why such a troublesome method is used. It's really unnecessary."

"Then I've watched the Jade Appreciation Conference for two days!" Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "At that time, we both don't do anything, just keep an eye on this jade pendant."

Zhan Zhao also smiled, "It has to be like this."

Afterwards, when the two left the Cangyu Pavilion, they saw the fourth son and Xiao Liang jumping up and down to Concubine Pang's place holding hands, and asked them if they wanted to see Xiangxiang.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are helpless, whoever wants to go to the harem can go if they want to?He just shook his head at the two of them.

So, the two little guys continued to jump forward hand in hand.

Looking at the backs of the two, Zhan Zhao suddenly had a very good feeling. He didn't know if it was the day of the day, or the backs of the two little guys seemed to be in harmony. envious.

Seeing Zhan Zhao staring at the fourth son and Xiao Liang in a daze, Bai Yutang asked, "What's the matter? Do you want a child?"

Zhan Zhao turned around, gave him a hard look, and asked, "What about you, you don't want a child?"

Bai Yutang shrugged slightly, "None of Zhao Pu and Gongsun can have children, so there are two."

"That's right. The streets are full of suffering children. If you can save one, it's almost the same as giving birth to yourself." Zhan Zhao nodded, not knowing what to think about.

"Cat, after so many days of running around, do you want to have a good meal?" Bai Yutang turned around and asked Zhan Zhao.

"Okay!" Zhan Zhao smiled and followed, and the two followed Chen Banban to lead them out of the palace.

After walking all the way, Chen Banban suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said to the two of them, "You two are really good at martial arts, aren't you?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, smiled, and asked, "Why did Banban say that?"

"Oh, that's what happened." Chen Banban frowned and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "I used to accompany the late emperor, and I was on duty with me. There was also a father-in-law, surnamed Li, whose full name should be Li Longyu , this person's kung fu is quite high. To put it bluntly, I have seen a lot of masters, and the only ones who can rank with him are the second and the ninth prince."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and they were both a little surprised, "What about this Eunuch Li? He must be very old, right?"

"Before the late emperor passed away, he was sent to complete a matter, which was a secret matter. The late emperor mentioned it to me a little bit, but before he came back, the late emperor passed away. From then on, we Never saw this man again."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback for a moment, "Could it be that something unexpected happened while doing business?"

"Maybe, but I also said that this person is extremely skilled and has a mysterious identity... He was brought up by the emperor since he was a child. He is loyal and has saved the life of the emperor many times. To be honest, if he was in the By my side, the matter of replacing the civet cat with the prince may not be possible!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were quite surprised, there is such an expert?So what kind of secret event did you go to do?Will it have anything to do with this incident?

"Hehe, I just remembered it by accident, maybe I'm old, sometimes I always think of some past events." Chen Banban sighed softly, "I thought of him for no reason, so I'll tell you two, I hope it will help. "

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other with a smile, nodded, and asked Chen Banban if he had any characteristics.

Chen Banban said, "It's so easy to recognize. That person had a white cloud in one eye when he was young. The eyeball and the white of the eye have grown together, and he usually wears an eye patch.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard this, they suddenly thought of one person—one-eyed centipede, Li Helong.This person is also well-known in the world, with high martial arts skills and good use of poison.Thinking of this, the two didn't say much, they just left Chen Banban and hurried out of the palace.

"Li Helong." Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "Could it be him?"

"It's very similar, I think of him too." Zhan Zhao frowned and nodded, "The left eye is white and his martial arts are extremely high, but he has a beard!"

Bai Yutang frowned and thought for a while, "I also had it when I met... But, there are beards and no ladies."

Zhan Zhao also smiled, "Indeed, I've never heard that he has a family, and he comes and goes without a trace, very mysterious."

"He can be regarded as a senior in the Jianghu, but he appeared in the Jianghu not early, as if he appeared out of nowhere, and he fits well with the time when the late emperor passed away!" Bai Yutang felt that it would be useless to think too much, so he simply Went to Taibai Residence with Zhan Zhao for dinner.

When I went upstairs, I found that many people were there.

Xue Yixing took Xue Yiling and invited Pang Yu and Bao Yan to dinner, thanking them for protecting their sister.Both of them were embarrassed, and they really didn't do anything.

Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coming up, Pang Yu hurriedly invited them to sit together.

Xue Yixing said regretfully, "It's a pity that the Ninth Prince is not here, otherwise we invite you together."

"Where did Zhao Pu go?" Zhan Zhao asked Pang Yu.

"Oh, they said they went out to do business with the Eighth Prince." Pang Yu held his chin, "It's so mysterious."

"By the way, have you found your friend?" Zhan Zhao looked at the string of jade pendants hanging around Pang Yu's neck again.

"Oh." Pang Yu hurriedly hid the jade pendant to avoid another murder, "Not yet, but the gangster who fought with me that day was found, and he was in the group that chased me and Xiao Mantou yesterday.

On the side, Bao Yan gave Pang Yu a hard look——damn it, the little fourth son himself looks like a little steamed bun, and he even named someone else a small steamed bun. If you dare, Kaifeng Mansion will be renamed Longshang, anyway, he and His father has to be steamed.

Seeing Zhan Zhao coming, Xue Yiling felt a little restrained, Xue Yixing saw it, smiled and shook his head, "You two, have you seen the jade bi?"

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao nodded, indicating that they had read it.

"Have you found anything?" Xue Yixing asked, "I have read it many times at home, but I haven't found anything wrong, so I always feel strange."

Naturally, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao would not reveal the secrets inside the jade biscuit. When Zhao Zhen had just left the palace, Zhao Zhen had urged him not to reveal it, so he just shook his head lightly, indicating that he didn't find anything. .

Xue Yixing stopped asking and poured wine for the two of them.

Pang Yu gnawed a chicken paw and asked Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai, when will the empty island produce big crabs?"

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, and said, "Autumn is fatter and more yellow. If you want it, I'll send a message from Bai Fu to get you some."

"Okay, okay, Qiu Xiangxiang can be weaned, I'm going to make crab powder stewed protein for her to eat!" Pang Yu said with a smile, "I'll get you some good wine if I tell you the money. Come."

When Bai Yutang heard that he was right, he nodded happily.

Zhan Zhao looked at Pang Yu with admiration while resting his cheeks. Maybe besides himself, Pang Yu was the one who got so close to Bai Yutang... Crab powder stewed egg whites, this little uncle Xiangxiang really hurts her.

Xue Yiling was also a little puzzled, this Pang Yu looked like a ruffian, a playboy, how did Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao know him so well?

After eating for a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Pang Yu, "By the way, An Lehou, have you seen a one-eyed dragon?"

"Huh?" Pang Yu was taken aback.

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Just asking casually."

In fact, Zhan Zhao didn't ask casually. Bai Yutang glanced at him and knew that he wanted to take the opportunity of asking Pang Yu to ask Xue's brothers and sisters if they knew Li Helong.

Pang Yu scratched his head, "Don't tell me, I know a lot of pig and dog friends, but I don't have any one-eyed friends."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Xue Yiling asked Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan, why are you looking for Cyclops?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Oh, a one-eyed person was involved in the recent investigation, but there are not many clues. The young master has a lot of friends, so I want to ask."

"It's easy to handle. I'll ask someone to find out for you." Pang Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I know a lot of people of all kinds."

"Well, I'm sorry." Zhan Zhao said while looking at Bai Yutang, and saw that he was also paying attention to the change in Xue Yixing's expression. Seeing that he was indifferent, he probably didn't know Li Helong either.Perhaps, the old eunuch who has been missing for many years is not the same person as Li Helong. After all, all this is just speculation.

After everyone finished eating, Zhan Zhao asked Bao Yan, "Are they in the mansion, my lord?"

"Oh, Dad and the grand master went to the Grand Academy to help Cha Shuangniaohui and the Four Leaf Sect." Bao Yan was also full, and wiped his mouth, "Pang Yu and I also have to drill when we go home. Where is the bookstore?"

Pang Yu glanced at him, "Little Mantou, I have everything in my house, except no books."

Bao Yan stepped on him, "It's my house! Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—the Kaifeng Mansion and the Grand Master's Mansion shouldn't be counted as one, right?

Xue Yiling originally wanted to ask Zhan Zhao if he wanted to go swimming in the lake, but after he sat down, he didn't say anything to him, he didn't even make eye contact, and this time he followed others away after eating, which made her a little unhappy.

Seeing the girl pouted, Xue Yixing sighed softly, "Zhan Zhao is impossible, let's find someone else."

"Brother, why are you like this?" Xue Yiling was dissatisfied.

"Knowing how to retreat in the face of difficulties is the way of a wise man." Xue Yixing walked downstairs quickly, and the brother and sister followed the people in front back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Pang Yu whispered to Bai Yutang, "Oh, the emperor's sister was looking for you this morning."

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, knowing it was Mrs. Luo Xin.

Zhan Zhao frowned, Mrs. Luo Xin...

Back in the mansion, Bao Yan and Pang Yu went into the Library Pavilion, and Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao found Luoxin in the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion.

Luo Xin was drinking tea with her head down.

"Didn't you enter the palace?" Zhan Zhao saw that Luo Xin was still dressed as usual, and sat there lost in thought.

"Hehe." Luoxin smiled wryly, "I have three options now. First, go to the palace to be a caged bird, and live in the place where my mother used to live every day. Second, go to Kaifeng Mansion to go to jail and repay my past debts." Sin. Third..."

"What?" Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that the first place was not as good as the second place. If the second place, the identity of Mrs. Luo Xin might make everyone feel embarrassed.

"Being burdened with everything in the past, living in the rivers and lakes." Luo Xin smiled, "But everything depends on how the adults handle it. Zhao Zhen is not very righteous, so he pushed the problem to Bao Zheng."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other helplessly—the so-called courtiers are those who let you do what the county king doesn't want to do, and you can't make him dissatisfied if you do it, let alone say you don't want to do it.

"It's too dangerous for you to walk alone in the rivers and lakes! People from the Four Leaf Sect are all over the world, and you know the secrets of those treasures, they will definitely not let you go." Zhan Zhao was a little worried.

Luo Xin suddenly smiled, and asked back, "If Luo Xin dies, will Mr. Zhan be happy?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned, opened his mouth and asked in puzzlement, "Why do you ask that?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao's bewildered face, Luo Xin smiled, "Sure enough, men and women think differently."

Zhan Zhao was even more confused, wondering if Mrs. Luo Xin had been stimulated by something.

Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, changed the topic and asked Luo Xin, "Do you have something to say?"

Luo Xin also put away her smile and nodded, "Well, there is one thing, maybe it's a secret, after much deliberation, it's better to tell you two."

Zhan Zhao sat down with Bai Yutang and asked him, "What's the secret?"

Luo Xin frowned slightly, and asked, "Have you all seen Liu Heling?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded together, naturally they met.

"It's actually more than one piece." Luo Xin replied.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

"Liu Heling is a mold. Many things like this were produced back then, including gold, silver and jade. It is said that there are also many colored glazes and fake things that are confused with the real ones."

"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, both were taken aback, "You mean, there are many Liu Helings?"

"Yeah, I saw a lot of pieces when I was a child, so my mother pawned Liu Heling, because if there are too many of the same thing, it seems worthless."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were secretly surprised, and asked, "What about the other treasures? Are there any duplicates?"

"No." Luo Xin shook her head honestly, "At most, a pair of bracelets, earrings, nothing else."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—why build so many?

Bai Yutang understood it in his heart - you think, the piece used to hide the cover?

Zhan Zhao gently held his chin. If the message left by the Emperor Tang was that a certain secret was hidden in the gilded crane feathers, then who would know which piece of gilded crane feathers it was in?The other party did everything possible to send the jade into the palace. Could it be because of this reason?
