I started a boy band in ancient times

Nanmu somewhere.

He Lanyi opened the door and entered, just about to discuss something, when she saw the food on the table, she frowned: "Why are you eating these things again?"

Porridge with vegetables is very light.

Lan Ningbing sneered and said, "Please, you're not the fourteenth prince of Nanmu. Don't you know how much money I spent on this journey?"

They went south from the capital city of Chengguo. Although they had a clear goal, they were not very familiar with the road conditions. There were many delays along the way, and after all, the relationship was not good. They each had their own ideas. They almost parted ways.The two of them are not able to count money carefully, and they are used to being extravagant, and it didn't take long for them to be tight, and now they are almost stretched.

He Lanyi mocked back: "Who spends the most money? You can't see the road clearly at night, let alone ride a horse. Renting a carriage costs money and time. Living in the wild feels that the night wind is too cold and the air is too severe. , I don’t even want to hug you to keep warm, and sleeping in an inn will cost me another fortune!”

Lan Ningbing laughed back angrily: "Do you think everyone is as cold and hot as you? Why don't you go to the street to make money with this skill? You want me to play the piano for others! I can become famous in three days, To become the best musician in the capital, I don’t care about people offering 100 taels of gold to listen to a song, but this time I have to make an exception, only 20 taels! I want to renege!!"

"Tsk, you've said it dozens of times. Didn't I get the money by beating him up?" He Lanyi said with a serious face when he mentioned the robbery, "I figured out a way, and I can't find Chu Qi again." Just go and rob, anyway, Nanmu is very rich, just find anyone on the street."

This kind of thinking is common in Beiyong, and He Lanyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her at all. Lan Ningbing was too lazy to argue with him, so she just snorted: "If you can't find me again, I will kill you to add to the fun, maybe he smells it here we come."

"..." Chu Qi's helpless voice came from outside the door, "I'm here, it doesn't need to be so bloody."

Both of them were startled. He Lanyi held the tip of the gun in his hand, opened the door sideways, and looked up and down. Seeing that the person outside the door was Chu Qi, he raised his eyebrows: "It's not a coincidence."

Chu Qi had just followed the queen's guards to find this place, and was surprised when he heard that the person Lan Ningbing was chatting with was He Lanyi, and he said pleasantly, "Long time no see."

Lan Ningbing said: "You saved this guy's life again, how did you find it here?"

Chu Qi truthfully mentioned Empress Nanmu's help, and He Lanyi said: "I just wanted to talk about this when I entered the door. I feel that there are people around us who have been watching us. I wanted you to prepare to change your residence."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Are you going to make it an afterthought now? Change places? Money? Are you trying to figure it out for me?"

"I've made an idea, don't bother you, I'll grab 100 taels of gold for you tomorrow, and remember to play the first song for me! It's said that blind people have better hearing, why don't you see people first?"

"I'm not blind yet! Besides, even if I'm blind, why don't you polish your tricks?"

"Stop, stop! STOP!" Chu Qi subconsciously uttered a sentence in English. He was really convinced, and before he could say a few words, the two of them started arguing again, "Stop being childish, okay? Be serious, now I Take you back to meet people, now our team is full, and I have something to ask you."

Under Chu Qi's control, they finally took the two of them back to their residence with difficulty, met with the rest of them, and then each answered some questions.

The first is how and why they went south together.

Lan Ningbing did not hide anything, and told Chu Qi the ins and outs of this arrangement, and the person who planned it was naturally Liu Jiyue.

Chu Qi's heart was sore and warm when he heard it, because he once mentioned that he could not stay too far away from these people, so Liu Jiyue thought of a way to bring them back to him.He seemed to always remember the promise to him, and guarded his safety thousands of miles away, somewhere in the dark.

"He... was he okay when you left?"

He Lanyi couldn't help but sneered and said: "It can't be better, isn't this just waiting to eat Beiyong?"

Chu Qi comforted him: "Queen Nanmu has great intentions to send troops to help, and you will not go south in vain this time."

He Lanyi was silent for a while: "I would like to borrow your good words."

The two of them went south after more than half a month after everyone left, and they heard more about the capital and the palace.After Chu Qi finished asking, Ming Yao couldn't wait to ask about Ming Qian Su's safety, and Bi Wu also hesitantly asked Teng Feng.

Lan Ningbing thought for a moment: "I don't know about your brother, but Prime Minister Ming has heard about it. He suddenly fell seriously ill and resigned at home. I don't know what's going on now."

"Ah?" Mingyao almost fainted, "I must be mad at him...what if he can't think about it!"

Biwu didn't get a promising answer, and his mood was very low. Chu Qi was busy comforting the two of them.

"Have you heard about the assassin breaking into the palace?"

Just after Chu Qi managed to calm them down and revive hope, Duan Zhishen said suddenly.

He had never met Lan Ningbing and He Lanyi. Although Chu Qi briefly introduced Xiaoduan as a new member, Lan Ningbing was also stunned for a while by his sudden question.

He frowned: "Assassins broke into the palace? No... But I only work outside the palace, and I don't know many things in the palace. You can ask this person, oh, I forgot that he was tied up and locked up in prison." , I don’t even know.”

He still didn't forget to ridicule He Lanyi, but He Lanyi suddenly said: "I heard about it."

He took a look at Duan Zhishen who was staring at him for a moment, and said quietly: "I heard Cheng Qiushi chatting with others that an assassin appeared in the Empress Dowager's Palace that day, so Emperor Liu was busy dealing with it and let him go. I don't know the result of the assassin's treatment, but that day the Empress Dowager's bedroom was inexplicably set on fire, and the Empress Dowager, the empress who went to pay her respects, and several palace officials were burned to death together."

All the people present were stunned. They had heard and were shocked by the news of the Empress Dowager's death some time ago, but at that time they could comfort Duan Zhishen with "it had nothing to do with Peng Yongyan". Boss Peng is also in bad luck.

"I understand." Duan Zhishen closed his eyes, "Your Majesty's spies haven't found out the exact information yet, so I'll wait and see."

"...Yes, wait and see." Chu Qi didn't know what to say for a while, he guessed that the fire should be Liu Jiyue's plan, but did the Queen Mother really die...or did she hide it like Ming Ya? ——If it is the former, what is it that makes him so angry that he burns it with flames?But if it was the latter, how could he let them go.

Chu Qi didn't think he would be that vicious, nor did he think he would be so kind.So his filter allows him to automatically outline Liu Jiyue's behavior: no matter what his choice is, it must be made under his unwillingness...

For a while, everyone was in a low mood, and after a moment of silence, Chu Qi managed to raise his spirits: "Let's not talk about that, it's useless to worry now, let's hurry up and decide on the next direction."

"But what if I can't find it?" He Lanyi asked.He just heard about Chu Qi's search for treasures in Nanmu in the past few months, and he felt absurd from the bottom of his heart, "Even if it is possible to find it, it will take a year, two years... or even more than ten years, so what? Do? I can't wait that long."

For the rest of the people, the most dangerous situation has not yet been reached, they can wait, but He Lanyi can't afford to wait.Beiyong was in dire straits, the only reason why he chose to go south instead of going back to serve was to come here to find a way to slow down the troops.

Chu Qi said: "When I enter the palace today, the Queen has already stated that she will borrow troops to force Xiwan, encircle Wei and save Zhao, which should relieve Beiyong's pressure."

However, due to the geographical location, it is really unknown how effective it will be. Moreover, the Xiwan Army has not fought against the enemy for many years, so it is hard to say how strong it is and whether it will be an embroidered pillow.

He Lanyi's worry did not diminish because of this, but he tried his best to suppress the heavy emotions on his face, took a deep breath: "Okay."

"I know, it's useless for me to actually go back. Beiyong doesn't lack the ability to lead troops to fight at all, what is lacking is food, soldiers, horses, and people." He didn't know whether he was comforting others, or comforting himself, "The plague has continued. For a long time, it was first cattle and sheep, then war horses, and finally spread to people. Our place is naturally cold, and we have never encountered such a severe epidemic disease. It was only when civil strife broke out that we realized that it was out of control."

"The sixteen divisions split into several factions, each of which operated in its own camp, and was constantly arguing. The one headed by the Barkul tribe intended to attack and plunder resources. My father valued the armistice treaty signed a few years ago and took the route of peace, but in the end This is the result." He gritted his teeth unwillingly, "I'm not afraid that Beiyong will be defeated. If there is no disease or disaster, who would dare to come here? I'm afraid that if the epidemic cannot be controlled, it will be over."

Chu Qi frowned when he heard that, he could use the replacement technique to save six or seven or even a dozen members of the men's team from injuries, but he was helpless against the disease that infected tens of thousands of people, not to mention that it was definitely not simple The plague of the yin and yang may involve the order of yin and yang.

Because the order of yin and yang was broken, the ancient state of Ye was destroyed, the coastal state on the island was swallowed by wind and waves, and the state of Ji was overthrown by an uprising. It has been a relatively long time since then.But now Xiwan's existence in name only, and Beiyong's famine and plague are developing at an extremely rapid speed. Although Nanmu is not too different now, if something happens, no one can predict what will happen.

"Is this... the disordered order of Yin and Yang..." Chu Qi muttered, he was almost convinced that the "disordered order" mentioned in Nanmu's Order of Yin and Yang had already happened. Not guarded.

Chu Qi asked He Lanyi: "Do you know Beiyong's 'Yin-Yang Order'?"

He Lanyi was no longer shocked why Chu Qi knew about this matter, he shook his head and said: "Before coming to Chengguo, my father told me the seriousness of the situation, and the mention of the plague may not be accidental, or it may be related to the disorder of yin and yang, but when When I asked him carefully, he kept silent, saying that it was not yet time."

He Lanyi has no possibility of succeeding, and he shouldn't have known so deeply, but he kept his eyes open: "But I think Liu Jiyue may know."

Chu Qi was stunned, and He Lanyi recalled Liu Jiyue's threat to him after he fell into a coma that day: "I'm afraid he knows more than I do. As for where he heard it from, I don't know."

Chu Qi wasn't sure whether Liu Jiyue got the information through himself or through Cheng Qiushi's contacts. If it was the former, it's okay to say, but if it was the latter... Cheng Qiushi's progress may be much higher than he imagined.

The matter has reached a very urgent point, but there is still no definite answer on what to do next, and Chu Qi suddenly feels deeply frustrated.

Just like what He Lanyi said, what should I do if I can't find the treasures in a certain place, or even if I find them, but those things don't help the status quo?On the surface, the conflicts in the world today are caused by Cheng Qiushi's melee, but the deepest cause is probably caused by the disorder of yin and yang.Even if there is no Cheng Qiushi, there will be natural disasters and diseases, and countless people will be displaced and it is difficult to find a home.

But how to stop it?

Vaguely, Chu Qi seemed to have confirmed the answer. He stared at the "follow-up task" on the system interface, and the guesses that had been lingering in his heart became more intense.

There is indeed no competitive relationship between the several of their managers. Regardless of their identities and positions, personally, the members they signed have no conflicts in theory. This seems to have a hint in the dark that they do not need to be hostile.

And they each travel among the high-level of the four countries, their status is noble, and they can easily get in touch with the royal family. After some operations, they can get much more information about the "Yin-Yang Order" than ordinary people. If they unite and share information, the construction It will also be much easier to create a complete "yin-yang order".

The order of yin and yang is the key to unlocking the follow-up tasks, and the "rewards" after completion of the tasks released under such harsh conditions should also be generous enough.

So, the final answer is likely to be here...

After thinking about this, Chu Qi's frustration and frustration disappeared. He quickly grabbed Nanmu's map and stared at the circled marks on it with the eyes of a drowning object.

"There are still [-] places that have been rumored but haven't been explored yet. Among them, the empress recommends looking for these five places first, which is more likely."

They've gone to three of them in the past two months and found nothing.

"Let's discuss, should we find the remaining two in order, or which one do you think is more suitable?"

Usually, when making a decision, Chu Qi would go into the palace to discuss with Xiao Ning and Ting Su, but Biwu never needed to use his brain, Ling Feidu didn't talk, and Mingyao went to find his sister every time, so at most he would talk to Duan Zhi Discuss one or two carefully.

But this time Chu Qi didn't want to do that, he wanted to gather everyone's strength.

He Lanyi asked: "Why didn't the army divide into seven groups?"

Duan Zhishen said: "His Majesty's private guards are also looking for, there is no point in dividing us."

Lan Ningbing suddenly asked him, "Are you related to Empress Nanmu by blood?"

Duan Zhishen's eyes changed horribly, even though he knew that the best way to not show off was to stay calm, but Lan Ningbing's words came without warning, which shocked him deeply.

After all, if the Queen's secret of having twins is revealed, it will be like shaking the earth in Nanmu.

When Chu Qi received Duan Zhishen's gaze, he knew that he was doubting whether he had accidentally revealed it, so he could only frown helplessly. He was also very surprised by Lan Ningbing's sudden question—where did he see it? of?Did you meet Xiao Zhijin?

Lan Ningbing observed their expressions, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly curled up: "I knew it, my eyes are not blind, and my heart is not blind."

Duan Zhishen denied it coldly: "No, how is it possible."

Although Lan Ningbing didn't understand the reason for his denial, she understood it very well and didn't say anything more, but rather solemnly said to Chu Qi: "I have discovered before that people in our team always have special identities. On the surface, I, He Lanyi, and Teng Wu were nothing more, but later I found out that Ling Feidu also... and this Xiaoduan."

Following his words, everyone's gazes passed over each other one by one, but in the end they all fell on the same person.

"--how about you?"

Mingyao accepted the gazes of the six people, wanting to cry but without tears, and spread his hands innocently: "My origin is clear, father, sister, mother, eighteen generations of ancestors can write it down for you!"

"No." Chu Qi gritted his teeth, "How could the Empress Dowager tell you about the 'Yin-Yang Order' for no reason? Where did she know about it?"

"I still want to ask! I really don't know anything!"

Lan Ningbing said: "Do you still remember what I told you about the special features of 'Kirin Bloodline'?"

Chu Qi remembered: "Excellent luck brings peace and harmony to others, and even has the power of foresight."

Mingyao backed away abruptly: "It doesn't matter which one I have! I'm very unlucky. I was a child laborer since I was a child, and many people were annoyed by me, let alone foretelling..."

Chu Qi pushed him back to the map like a chicken: "Never mind, choose a place for me!"

Mingyao was stared at by six people, everyone's eyes seemed to want to eat him, so he quickly closed his eyes, pointing fingers with guilt.

When I opened my eyes and took a closer look, I realized that the place I was pointing to seemed to be a bit out of the way and not in the original plan.

"Jiao Minggu," Duan Zhishen glanced at, "it's not easy to go."

"How to say?"

"It's too far away from Beijing, the road is full of ravines, it's desolate and difficult to walk, and the further you go, the hotter it gets." Duan Zhishen said, "The interior of Jiaoming Valley is scorching hot, not a single blade of grass grows, and it's scorched black as far as the eye can see, hence the name."

Duan Zhishen looked at the crossed-out mark: "And His Majesty has already sent someone to check."

Mingyao looked back and forth between them, and muttered in a low voice: "You guys should choose again..."

"No, it's here." Lan Ningbing insisted, "Since the heat is unbearable, most of the people who searched didn't spend long, and they are very likely to miss it. Besides, the more strange the weather and landforms, the more likely there is something extraordinary hidden. ?"

Duan Zhishen paused, did not refute, but quietly looked at Chu Qi.

Lan Ningbing also looked over, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Chu Qi didn't make a quick decision, he patted Mingyao on the shoulder, and asked the remaining people: "What about you?"

"...Why don't you think about it again?" Mingyao was scared to death, "Less talk is delayed for more than a month, my nonsense is not credible at all!"

"Go." Ling Feidu said succinctly, and he explained uncharacteristically, "When things are extreme, they must be reversed. After such a long decline, it's time for a change of luck."

Biwu said: "I don't know anything else, but if I want to hide a very precious thing, I should either keep it close to my body, or put it in a place where no one can go."

He Lanyi finally stated: "I don't care, I can do anything, that is, if I make a trip for nothing, I can just come back and beat Xiaoyao brother up."

Mingyao: "???"

Chu Qi nodded, disregarding Mingyao's objection, circled the place with a Zhubi, stared at the drawing with impressive eyes, and said softly: "Jiao, Ming, Gu."

After simple tidying up and reporting, the whole group packed up and set off.Xiao Ning was busy with the plan to reorganize the army, but frowned at their whereabouts, and only sent a small team of guards to follow, apparently without much hope.

After traveling for more than ten days, they arrived at the nearest village to Jiaoming Valley, but the temperature was almost unbearable.

Although Nanmu is much hotter than Chengguo as a whole, it is not yet May, and in the capital city, at most, it is only a coat. However, in this remote village, walking two extra steps will cause prickly heat all over the body. level up.

The sun is clearly not scorching, but the strange thing is that the ground under the feet, like a large-scale floor heating, firmly locks the temperature of the sunlight, so it is muffled and drowsy.

Others have internal strength and can still bear it, but Biwu and Mingyao feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they had sunstroke.

Chu Qi had no choice but to stop and find someone to spend the night in the village. He settled them properly before making any plans.

"It's a trivial matter to get dizzy here, and it's a big deal to go in." The villagers spoke Nanmu dialect, and Duan Zhishen could barely understand, "What's wrong with people inside, it's so hot." , you can eat or drink, be careful that you can’t get out!”

Like a desert, the only good point is that there is no wind and sand, but it is hotter than the desert.

Chu Qi thought for a while, and said to Lan Ningbing: "Otherwise, you stay here and take care of the two of them, and we go in."

Lan Ningbing also had this plan, it was inconvenient for him to be blindfolded, but He Lanyi suddenly interrupted: "No, you all stay here, I'll just look for it by myself."

"Cacti can still live in the desert, but it can be scorched to the scorched earth environment, and it is difficult for you to act for a long time even if you have internal strength protection, so it's better to save it."

He Lanyi was invulnerable to cold and heat, and was able to escape unscathed when the Ziwei Hall was set on fire that time. The temperature is really not a big problem.

Lan Ningbing said: "Don't rely on Xuanwu blood to show off your abilities. If there's anything good about it, you'll know how to behave."

"...Why is it that I am willing to take on the important task? I find that you are really getting more and more arrogant——"

Chu Qi was convinced, and was about to preside over the overall situation, but Biwu staggered and struggled to get up, and the towel placed on his forehead to cool down also fell off, and his voice was hesitant and tentative: "... the Xuanwu blood is not afraid of heat? "

He Lanyi raised her eyebrows energetically: "At least it's all right now, what's wrong?"

"Engong, I have an idea..." Biwu leaned against Chu Qi's ear and whispered, "Do you still remember how Cheng Qiushi made the 'monster'? I think this pair of people will There are also some effects..."

Chu Qi quickly understood what he meant, but was stunned again, then nodded, looking at He Lanyi like a mouse.

He Lanyi: "?"

"Xiao Ling, bring the knife." Chu Qi spread his palms, eager to try, "Let's do an experiment."
