Chapter 35: The Yellow Sparrow Upstairs

In the night, Song Yan and his entourage quickly rushed to the bank of the Shangyang River.

Wen Yiqi is in charge of the six doors, and it is naturally a matter of minutes to investigate where the fourth prince Zhao Cen held a drinking party.

Even he didn't need to investigate separately, since he knew in advance that the people of the Xianyin Sect were trying to get close to the Four Princes recently, of course they would have some knowledge of his whereabouts in the next period of time.

And one of the advantages of following Wen Yiqi is that there is a grandmaster with a ridiculously fast marching speed, and it only took less than half an hour to feel the bank of the Shangyang River from the center of Shangjing City.

There are official roads in Shangjing, and some special official roads do not allow ordinary people to walk, just to have a smooth road in case of emergency.

Ning'er is different, no matter how she runs outside the city, when she enters a crowded place, she can only move at the speed of an ordinary person, at most she can run faster.

So when Song Yan and the others arrived, it seemed that Ning'er had not yet arrived, and Zhao Cen was still sitting at the head of the cocktail party, chatting with several subordinates.

Yan Danjue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, although her relationship with Zhao Cen was not very good, but after all, she couldn't talk about grudges, and it was impossible to sit back and watch him being assassinated by the Demon Sect and ignore it.

"Ning'er has followed Jingjing since she was a child, and I haven't known her for five or six years, if she is really a disciple of Xianyin Sect, it will be really terrifying......" Yan Danjue couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she talked about Ning'er's origin.

If Song Yan wasn't so sure, she actually wouldn't have believed that Ning Er would be a disciple of the Demon Sect.

"It's not necessarily an undercover agent from the beginning. Song Yan said, "It may have been rebelled recently, or it may be ...... was replaced. ”

When he said the word "replacement", his tone was a little flat, but Yan Danjue felt a slight sinking in his heart. She understood what Song Yan meant, if it was really "replaced", it meant that the real Ning Er was already more auspicious.

Not to mention that Ning Er is Zhao Jinghua's maid who gets along closely, Xianyin Sect has a lot of energy among the people, as long as they are willing to work hard to investigate, they can find out a person's origin, experience, personality, and habits.

If you "replace" it in a targeted manner, the success rate will be very high - even if you fail, it doesn't matter, at most the preparation in the early stage is in vain, as long as you don't fall into the trap, it is not difficult to get out.

It's not that similar incidents haven't happened before, some people's own sons have been replaced with disciples of the Demon Sect and they don't recognize them, and their biological parents are still like this, let alone others.

Wen Yiqi didn't say anything to comfort him, because his guess was similar to Song Yan's. An undercover agent who may exist as an assassin is basically impossible to take the form of rebellion, and Ning'er has a high probability of being replaced.

After the three arrived, of course, they didn't go to startle the snake, Wen Yiqi took the two of them to a nearby restaurant.

It was a real "restaurant", the three of them stood directly on the roof of the building, and Wen Yiqi casually pasted two Taoist talismans on the ground, but nothing seemed to have happened.

At least Yan Danjue didn't feel anything, but Song Yan was slightly aware of it, as if the light was slightly distorted on the side separated by these two talismans, forming a simple "invisible space".

This light distortion effect is actually mediocre, as long as you get a little closer, you can detect that something is wrong, but it is very suitable for this place, and it is impossible for anyone to approach it anyway.

Seeming to notice Song Yan's gaze, Wen Yiqi smiled and said, "A little trick, if Hongwen wants to learn, you can go to my place in two days." ”

Song Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he agreed repeatedly. Whether you learn the Tao or not, it is necessary to talk about printing.

But now was not the time for small talk, and the three of them quickly watched. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a familiar figure to break into the drinking party and be brought to Zhao Cen by the guards.

"Ning'er?"

Of course, Zhao Cen had seen Ning Er, and at this time, when he saw her running in front of her in embarrassment, he was immediately shocked, especially when Ning Er opened her mouth to say amazing words.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness, please save Miss!" Ning Er said, tears had already welled up in her eyes, and it was not an exaggeration to award her a little golden figure on the spot.

Zhao Cen hurriedly got up and helped her up, and Yue Yingying next to her couldn't care about being jealous, and followed Zhao Cen down to check.

It doesn't matter if the big house in the family occasionally wears some small shoes for the concubine, but it is impossible for her to gloat on such occasions, otherwise she will not be able to take off the hat of a "jealous woman".

Besides, she didn't intend to put Zhao Jinghua in the place of death, Zhao Jinghua and Zhang Jinghua died, it is a matter of course for men to take concubines in these years, and it is even more so for members of the royal family, it is useless to stop them.

The two comforted for a while, and then Ning Er intermittently said what happened tonight.

She omitted Song Yan's part, and according to the original plan, the description of the silver-robed ancestor Zhong Yu was very detailed.

has his iconic silver robe, Zhao Cen was also a character who walked in the rivers and lakes when he was young, and immediately reacted to who the other party was, frowned and said: "It turned out to be Zhong Yu in the silver robe...... He wants my sword?"

Zhao Cen had actually heard the rumors of the "Nine Shades of Xuantie", which was originally just an ordinary rumor, and he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect it to intensify at this time, to the point that even the concubine who had not passed through the door was kidnapped.

"What Nine Shadows Xuantie, nonsense!" Zhao Cen was furious in his heart, but at this time, he had nowhere to vent, so he had to say, "Come on, where is my sword?"

A subordinate hurriedly ran forward and said, "Your Highness, your sword is now being placed in the ground to suppress it with Xuan Ice...... According to your orders, this sword needs to be frozen every seven days, and today is just in time for the ice. ”

Zhao Cen nodded, and didn't feel anything wrong.

His sword is called Hanque, and it is indeed not long new, and it is famous for its frost and cold sword qi. However, this sword is newly cast, and it needs to be suppressed with Xuan Ice every seven days, and it will only be completed after twenty-eight reincarnations.

The Hanque Sword is indeed a divine sword of the Ice Chill genus, so it is rumored to be made of Nine Shadows Xuantie, Zhao Cen can't find any reason to refute it, it does look very similar on the outside, and it is not groundless.

It's just that Zhao Cen didn't notice that after the person who came to report said this, he shook his head casually and exchanged a look with Ning Er vaguely.

Obviously, Zhao Cen hasn't understood a truth yet, many things in this world seem to be coincidences, but when there are enough of these coincidences, they may be fatal.

Zhao Cen didn't say anything, so he asked this subordinate to take him to the underground cold warehouse to get the sword, and then turned to Yue Yingying and said: "The temperature in the underground cold warehouse is extremely low, Yingying, you don't want to go down, so as not to get cold." ”

"It's just a sword, since Zhong Yu wants it, what's the harm in giving it to him?"

Yue Yingying naturally nodded in response, but Ning Er said, "Your Highness, I'm ...... I'll go down with you......"

"Oh?"

"The thief asked me to bring a sword by name, and I ...... I want to get used to it first, I'm not afraid of the cold!"

Zhao Cen showed a sudden expression, and didn't think too much about it, just nodded and said, "I've wronged you...... Come on, prepare a robe for Ning'er, you can come with me. ”
