When the grains of sand suddenly dissipated, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man stood in front of Le Yuancen and the others.

"Is there any water?" The man said these three words first with a blank face, then he paused and added, "I'm a little thirsty."

Look at what this said, how fresh it is!

Thirst is a common feeling when walking in the desert, and water has become a very scarce resource.

Li Er took out the wine bag from his bosom, "There is no more water, and there is still a sip of wine, do you want it?"

The man nodded. He took the wine bag and drank the wine in one gulp, and suddenly laughed.This smile added a sense of mystery to his otherwise ordinary appearance. "Good wine, I have never had such a wine, it is really good."

This wine was brewed by Le Yuan Cen, and people outside Wuxia Town rarely had the chance to drink it, and most of it went into Li Er's stomach.Instead of receiving a salary, Li Er chose to pay his wages with wine.

Because he knew very well that this was good wine, and he couldn't drink it all the time he wanted.Those who make wine will leave, and those who drink will also leave. After leaving, the wine is that kind of wine, but it is no longer that kind of wine.

Just like in the desert, the last sip of wine can also taste the taste of immortality.

"My name is Qi Ping, and I'm an ordinary person. I heard that there are treasures here, so I came here to hunt for treasures."

Qi Ping naturally stated the purpose of coming here in the future.However, people would go to a place like the desert where birds do not lay eggs, if not for treasure hunting, most of them would be for revenge, and few people would come to cultivate their sentiments. "Three friends, how about you?"

Le Yuancen looked at Qi Ping.If we met in another place, Qi Ping's self-proclaimed mediocrity is still possible, but just now someone exploded a corner of the underground palace and floated out of the sandpit. They can't make them all think it's a mirage illusion.

Qi Ping does look ordinary, but this ordinaryness is a disguise that he doesn't bother to cover up.It seems to be saying that he is just pretending to be ordinary, and he wants to act when he is happy. Whether the acting is good or not, he does not need to consider the feelings of others at all.

"We also came here to hunt for treasure. It's a pity that we didn't find the treasure. Instead, we ran into the mechanism in the underground city and escaped to find water."

Le Yuancen briefly introduced the names of the three of them to Qi Ping, and she didn't hide anything, because there was nothing to hide. "There are red poisonous snakes in the tomb passage, as well as toxins that can restrain internal strength and make people hallucinate. From another perspective, from the extent of rarity, they are also considered treasures."

Hearing this, Qi Ping's smile deepened, and he glanced at the three people in front of him again, his eyes drifted from Li Er's hand to Lu Xiaofeng's beard, and finally looked directly into Le Yuancen's eyes.

"You're right. In fact, we've all found the treasure. I checked the powder that depicts the red mark on the wall. This thing is extracted from a strange plant in the Western Regions. The poison it produces has a very beautiful name. The clouds are flourishing and the clouds are flourishing. People will lose their internal strength after being poisoned, but it is like dreaming into a fairyland, where everything is bright and beautiful. When the effect of the medicine wears off and the internal strength is restored, the dream will no longer exist.”

Lu Xiaofeng thought of Sikong Zhaixing who appeared in front of him when he was poisoned, he just wanted to teach Sikong Zhaixing not to be greedy for cheap, so what the hell dreamed of entering the fairyland, it was all a lie to fool fools, it was obvious that people would feel unwilling to see it That's all.

"I don't quite understand one thing. Does this kind of poison cause you to get caught if you smell it? Or does the poison spread faster the more you use your internal power?"

"The Yunzhengxiawei used in the underground city pool is extremely large. It is diffused in the air, and the scent of the red snake needs to be used as a medicine to stimulate its medicinal properties. If it hadn't been for hundreds of years of poison loss, I am afraid that you and I would not be here. Narrative."

Qi Ping's patience seemed to have become exceptionally good, he seemed to meet his companions in the desert, and explained as the three of them searched for water sources.

"It is best for the poisoned person to take a nap and wait for the medicine to dissipate slowly. It is the most inappropriate thing to use internal force during this process. But this is just a way of talking while standing up. In that case, we Can you not run? Can you not use force? But this kind of poison is running out, and later people can't play the colorless, tasteless and drug-induced poisoning method, so they have changed to brewing wine."

Qi Ping shook his head dissatisfied when he said this, "It's different from Mr. Li's wine. The aroma of that kind of wine is fragrant, and it loses its pure feeling. Some people in the Western Regions call that kind of poisonous wine Chixiahong. It will poison into the meridians, and the internal strength will be lost. It must be antidote, which is really boring. Yunzhengxiawei makes people dream of entering a fairyland, and Chixiahong will only poison people in a vulgar way."

Is there a difference between the two?

Perhaps, Qi Ping, who pursues different feelings, feels the difference in his heart.

However, poisons are poisons after all, and they will make people abnormal for a certain period of time.

Li Er held the wine bag and didn't say anything. Whether he was drunk or awake had nothing to do with poison, but his heart.

When he woke up from the dream, he thought of the golden silk armor that had been taken away, and always had a bad feeling.Maybe it was because he stayed at the border outside the Great Wall for too long, and he felt that something big might happen in the Jianghu.Knowing that I shouldn't go back again, but I still want to go back to have a look, not only because my longing has turned to ashes, who doesn't want Ye Luo to return to her roots?

Qi Ping did not talk about poison and medicine, but told two stories. Like many curious people, he came here to hunt for treasure because of the stories.

The first story is about a couple who are close relatives and distant relatives.

Decades ago, there was a Fairy Yunmeng in Jianghu. Although she was a fairy, she was an extremely vicious and ruthless character. She practiced the poison that has no cure in the world.There is also a Buddha of Wanjiasheng in the Jianghu, who acts upright and is admired by the people in the Jianghu.

Unexpectedly, the two became husband and wife, and they conspired to murder and deceived the martial arts secrets of various sects.It's just the same as all the endings that can share hardships but can't share joys. There are fewer thousands of Buddhas in the world, and there is one more Happy King in the Western Regions. Fairy Yunmeng chased and killed the Happy King to death.

The second story is about people as dolls but unable to escape the prison.

More than ten years ago, a man who looked like a child appeared in the desert. Only when he walked in did he realize that he was a dwarf.Even though he is extremely talented, talented, and martial arts are world-class, it is impossible for him to grow into a person of ordinary height.So what if he used others as puppets all his life, since he was played by God from the day he was born.

Listening to Qi Ping's story, Lu Xiaofeng thought of the story Le Yuancen told before, and he came to a conclusion that there are many secrets hidden in the vast land of yellow sand.

"The desert is an interesting place, but it's not just casual. Anyone can experience this kind of fun."

"If you want to experience fun, you must have life first. The desert is like this, and the rivers and lakes are like this."

As Qi Ping said, he could already see the sparkling light in front of him, and Le Yuancen really found the source of water. This kind of ability made him feel admiration. "It's a good thing we're all still alive, and it's worth a bowl of water for that. Don't you think so?"

After hearing Qi Ping's story, Le Yuancen had already determined what she wanted to know.

Xiaoyaohou once established a doll villa, arrested many people from the rivers and lakes and imprisoned him there, but he never escaped from the prison of fate in his life.

Now, there is no need to sigh for others, the Tianzong list she got will definitely cause a storm.Xiaoyaohou and Xiao Shishilang disappeared together, so does Tianzong still exist?If it still exists, who controls Tianzong?

"It's worth doing a few bowls. Thank you, Mr. Qi, for telling us two wonderful stories."

"Sir?" Qi Ping laughed heartily, "It's the first time for me to be called sir. I don't have the ability to be a teacher. I'm older than you, just call me Uncle Qi." Why don't you guys guess what I wanted to do when I was a child?"

How could Lu Xiaofeng not feel Qi Ping's extraordinaryness, this middle-aged man who smiled like an uncle selling buns on the street could break through the trap of the underground city by himself. "Uncle Qi doesn't want to open a pastry shop, does he?"

It's not a bookstore, not a restaurant, but a pastry shop that exudes sweetness.

Qi Ping looked at Lu Xiaofeng with deeper eyes, and he actually nodded.

"If you don't believe me, what I want to open most is a pastry shop. There will be all kinds of sweet pastries, and of course savory pastries, such as fresh meat mooncakes are good. Unfortunately, like many people, young My wish can only be a wish, I failed to open a pastry shop."

He failed to open the pastry shop that he had always dreamed of, but accidentally established the Western Demon Cult.

The four of them had already arrived at the edge of the small river while they were talking, and they all filled their water bottles with water.

They literally dry out a pot of water.

Drinking water in the desert, the water is extraordinarily delicious.Sitting by the river drinking water, watching the sunset slowly fall, the clouds are steaming and rosy at this moment, and the people who get together are friends.

"A long time ago, I also had a simple wish. Travel all over the world, enjoy the beautiful scenery, see all the beauties, and beautify the scenery. This life is enough."

Le Yuancen looked at the setting sun and Gu Yan, and she had fulfilled her original wish, but it was already a thousand miles away. "Wish is very beautiful, and it will make people happy as much as it can be realized. If you can't realize it at all, it's not bad to see others realize it."

Qi Ping nodded in agreement, "That's the reason. Later, my old friend opened a pastry shop, and I think his pastries are the best."

Lu Xiaofeng still wanted to ask which pastry shop it was, but the setting sun was completely hidden in the distant desert.

Qi Ping stood up, and he calmly said the words of parting, "The sun is setting, I have to leave. You also left the desert earlier, the beauty here is beautiful, after all, there will be less popularity. If there is a destiny, come to Japan See you soon."

So goodbye, I hope we still meet in the clouds and clouds.

In such a beautiful dreamland, I am Qi Ping who wants to open a pastry shop, not the mysterious Jade Rakshasa.

Qi Ping left without looking back, his appearance was really like a mirage in the desert.

Lu Xiaofeng watched Qi Ping disappear, shook his head and said with a smile, "This person is really weird."

"Brother Lu, do you think other people are weird? Has no one ever said that your four eyebrows are weird? Didn't everyone say that only weird people are easy to meet weird people."

Le Yuancen said this but silently read a series of addresses in his heart.

At the moment Qi Ping left, he left her a few words via voice transmission.Since her wish is to make paintings, if she wants to show the paintings to more people, she also needs a promotion partner, so she went to the person at the address and reported Qi Ping's name.

Qi Ping really did things according to his mood, he thanked Le Yuancen for finding the water source, so he just wanted to say more.

Actually, he didn't mind doing something for Li Er and Lu Xiaofeng, but they didn't express their wishes no matter what.He was in a good mood and wanted to do something. If someone didn't seize the opportunity, it would expire and become invalid.

Le Yuancen took down this address in the capital, the recommended partner must be the owner of the pastry shop, right?Like people flock together, Qi Ping's old stories should not be simple, should she go and meet her?

However, even if she has this curiosity, there are still a series of serious things to do before that.

"Brother Lu, you can return my saber to Zhixian County directly. I won't go back to Wuxia Town. Li Er, what about you? What are your plans?"

Li Er had already started to light the bonfire, and he threw the wooden carving around his waist into the fire, "Master Tie and I are leaving too. I am a little worried about the gold silk armor, and I hope there will be less disturbance in the world. "

**

Li Er's wish still came to nothing.

Rice was harvested in October, and the Plum Blossom Bandit reappeared.

There was news about the Golden Silk Armor in the rivers and lakes, and what was even more explosive was that Lin Xian'er, who was known as the number one beauty, promised that whoever caught the plum blossom thief, she would marry that person.

How terrifying is the Plum Blossom Thief?

Le Yuancen could not answer this question accurately.

In the past, the Plum Blossom Bandit killed many people, but no one saw his true face.It was later said to be dead, but no one has ever seen his body.After many years, the Plum Blossom Thief reappeared in the arena, followed by the extremely defensive golden silk armor, and even the promise of marrying the first beauty. How could the arena be not lively.

There are always big and small bustles in the rivers and lakes, and everyone will be more or less involved in different bustles.

However, compared to the big net shown in the Tianzong directory, the incident caused by the plum blossom thief can only be said to be not lively enough.

After Le Yuancen left the desert, he made a special trip to the border to find someone who knew the Turkic script, roughly translated the parts that he didn't understand, and went to check the names on the list himself.

The main purpose is to see if Tianzong is still used by people after Xiaoyaohou disappeared.Within half a year, she checked all the personnel of Tianzong, and confirmed that this net is still being used to its full potential.

As for the person who is likely to take over Xiaoyao Hou Tianzong, it is indeed a bit surprising.

**

Beijing, a very ordinary street.

There is a sycamore tree at the end of the street. When autumn comes, the leaves of the sycamore tree will inevitably fall to the ground.

There was a man standing quietly under the tree. He looked about 25 or [-] years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, and looked peaceful.

When the wind blew, the man reached out to catch a sycamore leaf, gently turned the leaf stem, and then nodded and smiled at Le Yuancen who came from afar.

Le Yuancen saw the man under the tree, about five or six years ago, when Yuanshen came to the capital intending to join Six Gates as a policeman, he had acquainted with this man a few times.He is the present emperor, Zhu Xun, the second prince of the first emperor.

Although this dynasty was the Ming Dynasty and the emperors were all surnamed Zhu, it seemed to be different from the Ming Dynasty in Le Yuancen's vague memory. Anyway, she had never heard of an emperor named Zhu Xun.

When Yuan Shen met Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun was not the prince, but the prince was his elder brother.

Zhu Xun likes to listen to stories about the rivers and lakes, and he recognizes an old catcher from Six Doors as his master. He and Yuanshen have a kind of brother and sister friendship, even though they only met a few times.

Later, Zhu Xun's eldest brother became more and more ill, and died before the late emperor passed away. Zhu Xun became the second prince.

"Brother, I'm late." Le Yuancen walked to Zhu Xun's side and kept a distance from him.

Zhu Xun hoped that she would return to Beijing in July, but Tianzong's affairs were a little more troublesome, and she had just stepped into the capital.

Zhu Xun smiled shallowly and looked at Le Yuancen.He had several simple correspondences with Xi Gu, in which Xi Gu said that he had to complete the errands entrusted by the late emperor before Xi Gu had the face to return to Beijing to see the emperor.

"Junior sister, you have changed a lot. That's not surprising, we have all changed a lot. My wish is to travel the world, but I have to stay in the red wall. You are no longer as cold as before, without any emotions. In this way That's good, as I said earlier, no matter where you are, you have to find a way to make yourself happy, you just lost some of your popularity before."

Le Yuancen looked at the smiling Zhu Xun. It was difficult for this person to be associated with the image of the emperor. He was more like a gentle scholar, and he was a little more free and easy than a scholar.

This meeting outside the palace is what Zhu Xun said in the letter, and it is also what Zhu Xun said in the letter that they should be called brothers and sisters.

In fact, Yuanshen and Zhu Xun were not familiar with each other, and the acquaintance was just an acquaintance.

However, now that Zhu Xun is willing to speak so sincerely, why does Le Yuancen not have this friendship.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern. People who walk in the rivers and lakes will always understand some truths. People are not as good as before, and they are the same as before. It is fate. If it is fate, then cherish it."

Zhu Xun's smile deepened upon hearing this.

People are not as good as before, it is the fate of the past, but they are not familiar with each other, the choice of bone loss is the meaning of the late emperor.

It's the current fate, although it can't be said that there is trust from the back, but he already knows that choosing Le Yuancen as the chief arrester is the same good choice.

"It's so good. Seeing that you can take good care of yourself, I feel relieved. Closer to home, the reason for inviting people outside the palace this time is because the walls in the palace have ears, and some things can only be said here."

Zhu Xun's expression was still very gentle, as if the chaotic struggle in the palace didn't affect him at all.

"In the past, there was King Qin and Han Wu. I admire such an emperor, but I only hope that this world will be stable. To make dreams come true, someone has to do something. Some great truths have already been said by the late emperor, so I won't repeat them Repeat."

Zhu Xun understood that the first emperor chose Chugu because he wanted her to be a sharp blade in his hand to deal with those restless people.

It's just that the first emperor is the first emperor, he is him, and they are different emperors.

Perhaps, the first emperor was wrong, and the person in front of him would not be a sharp knife in someone's hand.

If you can't control the sharp blade, you can also become a monarch, friend, and companion. This kind of relationship is much better than the sharp blade that may hurt yourself.

"I used to visit the thatched cottage three times in the past, so I asked bluntly, does my junior sister still want to be the chief arrester? Now, the delicate boundary between the rivers and lakes and the court is in danger. I need someone who can deal with these, just like you already The Tianzong found, such a big net must be cleared. In the final analysis, Jiangshan and Jianghu are a game of chess, you and I are in the game, and no one can escape."

Zhu Xun looked at Le Yuancen, but then said, "Of course, assuming you no longer have such a wish, I, as your senior brother, will give you a hundred acres of fertile land, a small house in a bamboo forest, and a white horse in fresh clothes. It can be done. Although people cannot help themselves in the game, I can keep you safe for as long as the emperor."

Despite only a few words, Le Yuancen admitted that Zhu Xun is a majestic emperor.

There is the kind of emperor who expands the territory, and there is the kind who governs the country in Anbang.Zhu Xun is not the former, nor can he be considered the latter. He still has a long way to go in his heart, but he is willing to do his best to sit on the top of the temple.

"Six doors, there has never been a woman as the chief arrester. The emperor's move is probably unprecedented."

Zhu Xun didn't care, "So what? I never hoped that my elder brother would go first, and I never hoped that my father would follow. Things in the world, which have never happened before, have become reality, and everyone in the world has to accept it." What's more, the junior sister is qualified enough to be the chief arrester, and the official position of the chief arrester of the six sects can also allow you to take care of some things in a legitimate way."

Righteous?

I'm afraid that when the emperor's letter of appointment comes out, some people will definitely not be convinced.

Le Yuancen looked at the sycamore tree beside him.Zhu Xun hopes that the phoenix will live in the phoenix tree, and the good birds will choose the tree to live in, but it is inevitable that people will think that this paper has personal feelings.However, she never cared about the eyes of the world, what she cared about was the treatment of the head arrester?Do you have much vacation?Is the work location flexible?Most importantly, can you do private work?

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor, I have no reason to refuse. There is one point, I still have to ask first, it is harmless to always capture the head and make some extra money, right?"

Zhu Xun smiled and shook his head, "You know the rules of the six doors better than me. The police don't have to stay in the capital all the time. When solving a case, you can enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers, eat delicious food from all over the world, and don't wear official clothes just to go to brothels. It’s okay. Except for the lower salary and the more dangerous people to be arrested, it’s still a pretty good job.”

These two points have already made many people unwilling to be a police officer, let alone a six-door police officer who deals with dangerous elements in the world.

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. You can make money by selling paintings, of course there is no problem."

As Zhu Xun spoke, he thought of another person, and he said lightly, "There is Jin Jiuling who is very good at enjoying himself in the six doors. He is known as the No. 300 of the six doors in the past 1 years. I can ask him for advice on how to make money properly."

In recent years, Jin Jiuling has been called the No.1 arrester in the world, and the position of chief arrester has been vacant. This time he failed to be the chief arrester, I am afraid that he will always feel uncomfortable.

Le Yuancen has already expected these things. Where there are people, there will always be struggles. Fortunately, the police from Six Doors travel to various places to handle cases all the year round, and some of them only meet a few times a year.

"Since I and Jin Butou are colleagues, we should always get along in harmony. Brother, don't worry about us quarreling and causing you trouble."

Zhu Xun knew what balance was, and he never thought that all his subjects could be harmonious.It's just that the place of Six Doors is supposed to maintain the balance between the imperial court and the world, the less internal fighting the better.

"I believe in your ability, and you can handle everything properly. Speaking of proportion, Tianzong's successor is in Jiangnan, and you must destroy this organization. Then, there is one thing that needs you to follow up, two A month ago, the perpetrators of the Bliss Building were really a little bold."

The person behind the scene of the Bliss Building is the policeman Luo Ma, who has produced a large number of fake bank notes. If this matter continues to intensify, it will disturb the stability of people's livelihood.

When Le Yuancen was investigating Tianzong, he heard some rumors, which seemed to have something to do with Lu Xiaofeng. He helped the Hua family, the richest man in Jiangnan, solve the case. "What does the emperor mean?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xun didn't think that everyone in the world listened to him, "I got news that the old king of the Hanhai Kingdom in the Western Regions is not in good health. Hua Ruling, the head of the Hua family, is an old acquaintance with the old king. Ruling's six sons, some are officials, some are businessmen, they are all good people. I hope that the Hua family will be more peaceful."

Zhu Xun's words were a little unclear, but Le Yuancen already understood what he meant.

Jiangnan first caused a case of counterfeit banknotes at Datong Bank, which involved the Hua family. Now that the old king of Hanhai Kingdom is ill, Hua Ruling and his old friends, maybe something will happen.

The Hua family is wealthy, and the younger generation are both officials and businessmen. The emperor hopes that the Hua family can be "peaceful", which is good for the Hua family and the court.

"You are responsible for this matter yourself. Anyway, you went to Jiangnan to do it together. I want to know what the follow-up impact of the Bliss Tower will be. The case is solved, but how is the money traced? Don't worry about it. As for the plum-blossom thief who has been making a fuss recently, I think it is appropriate to hand it over to Jin Jiuling, you can't marry any beautiful woman."

Zhu Xun asked Le Yuancen to be the head arrester, and the most important thing was to draw salary from those people with schemes. Every time a case was solved, the key was to confiscate all the money that could stir people's hearts, so that no one would keep the capital , is rising again.

Le Yuancen accepted the first errand after taking office. She took the sycamore leaf from Zhu Xun's hand, and by the way, sent the emperor who had sneaked out of the palace wall over the wall.

In this way, the six gates will have a chief arrester.

Le Yuancen will stay in the capital for two more days, waiting for the edict to be issued tomorrow, and handing over the relevant work procedures.

It was getting dark, and she was going to have dinner, so she walked to the gate of Hefangzhai.This address is the one given by Qi Ping, who said he was looking for a shopkeeper Hao.

Hefangzhai is a pastry shop, and when you walk to the door, you can smell a faint sweet smell.

At this time, Hefangzhai was a little deserted.

Le Yuancen didn't see any other guys, only a young man in white sitting behind the counter.

The man in white looked at Le Yuancen, but he didn't say a word, he just signaled with a cold look, 'No guests today'.

"Excuse me, is shopkeeper Hao here?" Le Yuancen didn't think this man in his 20s was shopkeeper Hao.

The man in white was silent for a moment before saying, "If you have something to do, just speak up."

"I'm not here to buy pastries." After Le Yuancen said this, the man in white frowned slightly. She had learned enough experience and lessons, so don't make any mistakes and make something happen. "I was just entrusted by someone to visit shopkeeper Hao."

Before the white-clothed man could say anything, a middle-aged man rushed out from the back of the shop. Before he had time to step into the main hall, he hurriedly shouted, "I am shopkeeper Hao. Let's talk about your business slowly."

Le Yuancen felt that shopkeeper Hao appeared in such a hurry because he was afraid that she would say something nonsense.God knows, she's really tight-lipped.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Hao ran away in a hurry and didn't look at the threshold under his feet. He was about to fall hard on his face as soon as he finished speaking.

In an instant, Le Yuancen moved from the door to the inside of the store, and supported the shopkeeper Hao who was about to bleed out.

However, Le Yuancen held shopkeeper Hao's left hand, and the man in white rushed out from behind the counter at the same time, holding shopkeeper Hao's right hand.

The man in white didn't look at the stiff shopkeeper Hao, but asked Le Yuancen abruptly, "Can you use a sword?"

The author has something to say: Tomorrow's update will be combined and will be released in the afternoon, (~o ̄3 ̄)~
