readx;? Further northwest from the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, across a crossroads, there is a courtyard, and in the southeasternmost corner of the courtyard there is a lookout, and in the small wooden attic there is a red charcoal basin, which burns silver silk carbon much higher than that in Xiao Jiong's warm sedan chair. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the arrangement is hasty, there are also tables and chairs, and there is even a pair of delicate tea cups on the table, hot water is boiling on the small red clay stove, and freshly opened tea cakes are placed on the side.

Wan Shijun, who had been looking in the southeast direction for a while, turned around, Wan Ping looked at the Jingzhao Mansion on the opposite street, and Xu Chen, who was separated from several brothers, walked back to the cell by himself.

"Family Master, if he continues like this, he will be out of control!" Wan Ping was slightly worried.

Wan Shijun broke a small piece of tea cake and began to brew tea, with skillful techniques and movements like flowing water: "As long as the last piece of jade pendant is in our hands, Xu Chen, who has obtained the other four pieces of jade pendant, will not be able to escape from the palm of our hand!"

"But what about the variables?" Wan Ping was not very relieved: "Let's not talk about the rights and wrongs in Chang'an City, whether he can survive all of them, sooner or later, the monks in the remnant domain will come to the door one day!"

"When the time comes, in case Chang'an is in chaos...... Xu Chen has never lacked the ability to fish in troubled waters!"

"Haha!" Wan Shijun laughed: "I'm afraid he won't mess up!"

"Why do you and I go to great lengths to attract those Fanbang disciples in the Western Regions?" Wan Shijun looked at Wan Ping and said with a very confident expression: "At the beginning, he Xu Chenbu's bureau, not only us, but also the emperor, the seven sects and five surnames, the world's families, and merchants were all counted by him!"

"How can I not learn such a powerful method?"

"But, why?" Wan Ping didn't understand, and said with a wry smile: "Is it just to prove that he is ...... than him?"

"Of course, there are such thoughts!" Wan Shijun did not deny it, and said with a smile: "He is even younger than me, but his methods are already terrifying, if he ......"

"If I don't win the last game, not only the rest of the family will have ideas......" Wan Shijun paused for a moment, a little lonely: "Even I myself will always have this knot, I can't get over it!"

Wan Ping was indifferent.

"Of course, the main reason is not this!" Wan Shijun poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and continued: "It is precisely in order to control the situation and ensure that he is always under our control that we must set up this game!"

"You also know Xu Chen's character, if you are not absolutely sure of everything, you will never act rashly!" Wan Shijun pointed to the chair beside him, motioned for Wan Ping to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then said: "In the past two thousand years, all the people who have obtained the jade pendant have been driven by curiosity to keep exploring the secret of the jade pendant, and the old monk of the Huangcheng Temple originally came to the door because of curiosity!"

"But what about Xu Chen?" Wan Shijun smiled: "On the premise that he already knows that we have ulterior motives, could he still be unable to help but go to all the jade pendants and go to great lengths to find out its secrets just because of a little curiosity?"

"Of course he'll make a move, but when he does, he'll be ready!"

"How long are we going to wait?When that day comes, how far will Xu Chen's strength go?" Wan Shijun shook his head and said very seriously: "We don't have this time to wait!

"So we have to put pressure on him! Let him have no choice but to take the jade pendant as his last way out!" Speaking of this, Wan Shijun couldn't help laughing again: "But what, you can't be in a hurry! Forcing him to jump over the wall in a hurry, he will only die and the net will break, he must have the same patience as fixing small fish and shrimp, and the heat must be mastered!"

"Haha, speaking of which, the difficulty of my game is much higher than the one he used to be!"

Wan Ping was indifferent again, frowned, and muttered lightly: "What is the secret of this jade pendant?"

Wan Shijun could only smile bitterly and sighed: "If you know, then it's good......"

After a few cups of tea, the two of them went out of the little attic, and walked down the wide courtyard wall, not through the main entrance, but directly through the courtyard and into a carriage parked outside the side door.

Naturally, there were people in the courtyard, men, women and children, and the whole family ate and rested, but no one took a second look at the two of them, and let them come and go freely.

As soon as Wang Ce and the three of them returned to the courtyard of Dongshi, they only said to Lu Hao, and Zhou Kang and Zheng Tai left overnight, first to the wharf, then by boat into the Yellow River through Weishui, to the east into the sea, and then south to the Ryukyus.

"It's only been a few days......" Lu Hao couldn't hide his reluctance and sighed slightly.

Wang Ce beside him smiled and said with relief: "Now the clipper can go from Ryukyu to Dengzhou in less than five days, and then it can go to Luoyang in three days, but it will take nearly two more days from Luoyang to Chang'an, but you can always see it in ten days!"

Lu Hao shook his head and smiled, cleaned up his mood, and said, "Since the eldest brother wants me to go to the examination room, then I will go to the Ministry of Rites to register tomorrow!

"It's simple!" Wang Ce said with a smile: "Go directly to Xiao Jiong and ask him to settle the second brother's household registration in Jingzhao Mansion, he already has the right to recommend students in Jingzhao Mansion, and the eldest brother has given him such a big benefit, he must be happy to do this little thing!"

"It's okay, then I'll go to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow!"

After a few more discussions, as for the matter of the eldest brother, since the eldest brother himself said that it was okay, and Xiao Jiong also took the benefits, presumably the eldest brother will be able to come back tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about it.

Lu Hao turned around and went back to the house, and Wang Ce walked to his residence.

As soon as he left Lu Hao's courtyard, a figure broke in at the corner gate.

"Li Xian, what are you doing in a panic?" After recognizing the person, Wang Ce called.

Li Xian saw that he happened to meet Wang Ce, so he directly said anxiously: "Oh no! Zhao Ming is missing!"

"What did you say?" Wang Ce was suddenly shocked, and immediately grabbed Li Xian's hand and exclaimed, "You said Zhao Ming is missing?"

"Yes!" Li Xian nodded hurriedly and replied: "It's been four days since the second owner got married, not only have I not come back, but I haven't even seen a figure!"

"What are you doing to eat?" Wang Ce roared rarely, "Why did you only tell me now?"

"I ......" Li Xian, who has always been steady, also panicked: "I didn't realize ...... at first"

"I just thought that Zhao Ming went out to run errands, and then ...... Later, I heard that it was sent out by the three owners, and there has been no news for four days......"

Wang Ce clenched his fists and slammed into the wall of the small courtyard, and the wall, which was about a foot thick, was punched out of a hole the size of a person's head by his punch.

The noise was violent, and Lu Hao, who was about to fall asleep in his wide clothes in the house, hurriedly pushed the door out, looked at the hole in the wall and Wang Ce with a gloomy face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Cetie's face turned blue, and he turned back to Lu Hao and said, "Zhao Ming is missing!"

"What?" Lu Hao was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Blame me! I should have noticed it sooner......"

Immediately, Wang Ce told Lu Hao all the mysterious person who listened to Tang Xueying outside the gate that day and the subsequent incident of sending Zhao Ming to follow up.

"The fourth brother and Atai came over that night, everyone drank a lot, I didn't remember it for a while......" Wang Ce gritted his teeth, his face full of self-blame: "The next day, the eldest brother had an accident again......!

"What's the use of talking about this now!" Lu Hao also roared, and then turned his head and asked Li Xian: "Did you send someone out to find it?"

"I have been sending people out since the morning, and there has been no news all day now...... Li Xian's face was full of bitterness: "Even the little black that Zhao Ming rode away that day is gone!"

"Then what are you still doing here?" Lu Hao roared: "Hurry up and send someone to find it!"

"Send everyone out and inform Peng Ze that he will dig three feet into the ground and find out the people for me at any cost!"

"Okay, I'll go!" Li Xian immediately turned around and strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

"I'll go too!" Wang Ce also said.

"Of course you have to go!" Lu Hao glared at her and said angrily: "If something really happens to Zhao Ming, I see how you can explain it to his sister!"

Wang Ce gritted his teeth again and strode away.

In the room, Liang Wanting, who heard the movement, put on a coat and walked out, and hurriedly asked Lu Hao, "What's wrong?"

"Zhao Ming is missing!" Lu Hao looked sad.

"Zhao Ming?" Liang Wanting was a little confused, he obviously couldn't remember the names of all the teenagers after only a few days here, not to mention that Zhao Ming didn't belong to the original sequence.

Zhao Ming...... Is he your brother too?"

Liang Wanting's words didn't mean anything else, just simply didn't know, but after Lu Hao heard this, he turned his head and glared at her, and said coldly: "Of course!"

Her husband's expression frightened Liang Wanting, she didn't know that she was reckless, and she was a little frightened in her heart.

"You go to sleep today!" Lu Hao was upset at the moment, and he didn't notice that the expression on his wife's face had changed slightly, he went into the house and got a coat, and then went out again: "I'll go to the front and wait for news, don't wait for me!"

"Oh, oh......" Liang Wanting was suddenly a little lost.

With a voice from here, the people of the entire compound were mobilized!

The teenagers in all the battle sequences got up one after another, and quickly got ready, because of the existence of the mysterious person, Wang Ce didn't dare to be careless, and asked everyone to wear all the equipment, at least in groups of three to disperse to search.

Peng Ze's side also quickly got the news, and all his miscellaneous servants and spies were mobilized.

The entire Chang'an City suddenly began to become no longer quiet because of this wave of people.

It's not that Xu Chen's manpower has been able to have such a huge repercussion in Chang'an City, where millions of people live, but the recent Chang'an City has not really been calm, it can only be said that Xu Chen's desperate outpouring has exacerbated the situation that has been secretly brewing in Chang'an City for a long time and has been surging for a long time.

Soon, like a grasshopper suddenly appearing on a spider's web, the violent movement soon spread to all corners of Chang'an City along with this web......

It's just that in this net, who is the prey and who is the hunter, and now the people in the net have no bottom in their hearts.
