Chapter 24 (1) Dirt

Along the way, the rain for days made Changming and Tongyun miserable. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the sky is not cleared until they enter the territory of Dongjun. Finally arrived at the prince's mansion, Changming saw Qing Yao waiting for him at the gate of the mansion from a distance, and his heart was warm.

"Qing Yao, are you here to pick me up?" Chang Ming dismounted and walked a few steps, and asked happily when he came to Qing Yao.

When Qing Yao saw Changming from afar, she waved to him happily, but when Changming walked to the door, she frowned. "You, why do you look like this?"

Because he had been in a hurry, Changming didn't freshen up, and the clothes he was wearing were wet and dried by the rain, wrinkled on his body, and he was very embarrassed.

Changming looked at himself at this time, a little embarrassed.

"Tongyun. Qing Yao pulled his horse and said distressedly, "You must have suffered a lot with him." ”

"This time, thanks to him. Changming said sincerely with a dirty face.

Qing Yao turned her face away, took Tongyun by the hand, and said to Chang Ming: "Forget it, you hurry up and freshen up and change your clothes." The princess is still waiting for you to reply. I'll have to groom Tongyun too, it's all dirty. ”

"Oh. Changming grinned.

This mission was a bit tortuous, and Changming was also anxious to tell the princess. He returned to his lodgings, quickly freshened up, changed his clothes, and came to see the princess.

At this time, it was past noon, Yu Zimo was sitting at the table making tea leisurely, and when he saw Changming coming back, he said to him, "It's hard work." ”

"Don't dare. "Chang Ming salute," fortunately did not disgrace the mission. He took out the barrel and gave it to the princess.

Yu Zimo took the barrel and put it on the table.

"Princess, the man gave me this thing back and asked me to give it to the princess. Changming hesitantly took out the boy's bag from his arms.

Yu Zimo's eyes lit up when he saw the bag, and he hurriedly took the bag in his hand, and after looking at it, his face showed a trace of joy.

"Princess, what is this?" Chang Ming was guessing all the way.

"You didn't open it to see?" asked Yu Zimo.

"Changming didn't dare to hide it, I tried, but I didn't open it. I didn't want to bring it back, but at some point, it came into my arms on its own. And thanks to it, it saved my life. …… It also speaks. ”

"Did you hear it talk?" Yu Zimo was a little surprised, "When?"

Changming told him about the masked man he met in the mountain temple, was rescued by Jin Bao and Tongyun, and followed the footsteps behind the temple to the woods.

"What did you do when it said 'soil'?" Yu Zimo asked.

Changming blushed, "Forgive Changming for being stupid, I really can't understand the meaning of the word it says, so I had to take it literally and wrap some of the soil under the tree." He took out a cloth bag, opened it, and placed it on the princess's table. Inside the cloth bag was a pile of semi-wet dirt.

Yu Zimo grabbed a bit of the soil, crushed it with his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "You're not stupid, you're doing a good job." ”

"Huh?" Although Changming didn't understand what the princess meant, looking at the princess's expression, he should have done the right thing, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Along the way, he was afraid that he had done something stupid.

"You go and call Xiao Qingran and Lu Ye, and let Qingyao come too. Yu Zimo said to Changming.

"Lu Ye, didn't he go out to investigate the affairs in the mountains?"

"Came back this morning. ”

Such a troublesome task, he investigated it so quickly, and it seems that he really has some ability.

……

It didn't take long for Qing Ran, Lu Ye, Chang Ming, and Qing Yao to stand in the middle of the house. Yu Zimo pointed to the wooden barrels, brocade bags and dirt on the table and said, "These were brought back by Changming. Changming, tell them how you got these things again. ”

Changming told the story again about his experience of going to Shangdu this time. The three of them were surprised when they heard this, and they had doubts about the identity of the masked man. Then they all agreed, focusing on what Changming had brought back.

"Tell me what's in this barrel first. "This is what Yu Zimo asked Changming to bring back, there must be some deep meaning in it, Qingran thought.

Yu Zimo picked up the wooden barrel on the table, opened it, pulled out the note inside, and said, "Before I left Shangdu, I asked that young man to help me check the identities and residences of all the people who came and went in Xindu, this is the result of his investigation. ”

"Why do you want to check the Chinese people?" Although the Shang and the participating countries were hostile, the people of the two countries still had business dealings. There is no suspicion that the people of the participating countries are alive in the business capital.

"Intuition. Yu Zimo replied briefly, "Do you remember the man in black next to Xiao Changyu that we saw on Ishihara Street?" she asked Changming and Qing Yao.

"Of course I do. "How could the two of them forget such a strange person.

"He's a senator. ”

"That's all?" Several people were incredulous, just because they saw a strange senator, they investigated the senguo people in a city, this princess was really willful.

"Isn't this reason enough?" Yu Zimo said, "Anyone who is in a position where he shouldn't be proves that there is a problem." Even the smallest things can hide big conspiracies. ”

Yu Zimo's words may be a bit exaggerated and alarmist, but they are not completely unreasonable.

"What are the results of the investigation?" Lu also asked Yu Zimo with squinted eyes.

"Judging from the information on paper, there is indeed a problem. The person we see is called Ling Zhan, a wizard in the Xin Kingdom, this person has a bad heart and specializes in some shady things. In addition, there were two other people who came with him, one was named Zhang Si and the other was called Yueyue. These two men are also notorious in the country. When they get together, there is certainly nothing good about it. ”

"Why did the sorcerers of the country come to the Shang country? "Compared with the sacrifice, the sorcerer's movements are more free, and they are also weird. Wizards usually act in a more secretive manner and rarely appear in crowded places.

"It's not strange that the wizards of the participating country come to the Shang country, but the strange thing is that they will be with Xiao Changyu. Yu Zimo said.

"Xiao Changyu is different from his brother Xiao Changgong. Although Xiao Changgong is arrogant, he acts quite well. Xiao Changyu is different, this person is a little insidious and vicious. Qing Yao said.

"What do you do when you get together like this?"

"It's certainly not a good thing. ”

"What they do should be related to the next two things. Yu Zimo said.

"Oh?" the three of them looked at the second thingβ€”the bag.

"This bag," Lu also leaned his face closer to the bag, "it's beautiful, it's exquisite." ”

"Open it up and take a look. Yu Zimo said to Lu Ye.

Lu also tilted his head, stared at the bag and pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked Changming, "Have you opened it and seen it?"

Changming didn't speak.
