Zi Yao thought about it for a while, and asked Qi Bao in her heart, [Can Qin Muhan be trusted? I saw some of his correspondence with Qin Muxue, he is indeed a relatively upright person, and he has never refuted it after guarding the border for many years. 】

[Master, I think Qin Muhan can be trusted, he rarely contacts the Eight Kings, and even rejects meeting with him, although he only returns to Beijing once every two years, he is extremely fond of you, such an upright brother can be trusted. 】

Zi Yao nodded towards Murong Xu, "It's naturally best to find the second brother to return to Beijing!" But for what reason? and it's not clear that such a complicated situation in Beijing is coming back!"

Murong Xu rubbed his chin, "Well, if you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly, you don't need Ziyao to worry about this matter, I'll figure it out, after all, I and your eldest brother and second brother have been classmates and have a deep personal relationship, so naturally there are some ways to get in touch." ”

Zi Yao raised her head and glanced at Murong Xu, "General Murong and the eldest brother and the second brother were all classmates?"

Murong Xu staggered his gaze and said with a slight embarrassment, "When I was a child, I broke my leg bone and took a leave of absence from school for more than a year, so I was in the same class with your eldest brother for two years, and then with your second brother for two years, but I didn't expect your eldest brother to be killed by the fake emperor like this." ”

Zi Yao pursed her lips, "Yes, although I was young at that time, my memory was vague, but I also knew that my father only came to ask me about my homework once a month, and the others only met during the New Year's Festival, who knew that this was the case."

It's just that I don't know if my mother was killed, or if she went to find the treasure, there has been no news for more than ten years, and the culprit of all this is this fake emperor. ”

Murong Xu looked at Zi Yao, who was gradually flashing with tears in his eyes, and was very distressed and got up and stood beside Zi Yao, and took Zi Yao's head into his arms, "If you want to cry, cry once, you have experienced so many things in just a few days, it's hard for you!"

Zi Yao didn't cry but said that he was a little excited, Murong Xu's performance improved, it seems that he has just made progress after talking to the old general Murong, but he doesn't know what he is worried about, is it taboo about his relationship with Nangong Yan?

Sure enough, Murong Xu, who hesitated for a moment, asked tentatively, "Zi Yao, if you want to meet Nangong Yan, I can arrange it for you?"

Zi Yao raised her water eyes and looked up at Murong Xu, just now she praised him and began to be confused in a blink of an eye, she frowned slightly, "I am only Ling Ziyao now, not the Lord of Snow County, what does he want to marry is just that name and me?"

Besides, he already knew that Qin Muxue in the Eight Princes' Mansion was played by Ling'er, and now the Nangong family still continues to complete the six engagement gifts with the Eight Princes' Mansion, and I am now completely ruined and have no identity, let alone ask for that boring, all the friendships in the past are just political means. ”

Murong Xu was stunned, "Are you saying that Nangong Yan already knows that Qin Muxue is a fake?"

"Well, I used illusion to tell him the facts, and he also went to the Eight Princes' Mansion to confirm it, and knew that the fake Qin Muxue was played by my escort Ling'er.

Therefore, I don't have any hope for him, even if we succeed, I will not use the name Qin Muxue in the future, because that cowardly and simple Qin Muxue is dead. ”

"Don't think about it too much, just let it go, have you thought about how to rescue the Eight Kings?"

Zi Yao nodded, "As for rescuing my father, I still need to plan well, it is not realistic to enter from the dormitory, I can only sneak in from the cave where I escaped, but I haven't found a way to restrain those vampire bats." ”

Murong Xu raised his eyebrows, "I have a large collection of books in the wing room of the East Garden, and because I was extremely interested in animals and species back then, I searched for many related books, and there were many unique books and classics during the period. ”

Zi Yao was refreshed when she heard this, "Okay! Let's go look for it now!"

The two of them got up and rushed to Dongyuan as they spoke, and when they got out of the room and were about to cross the moon gate that separated them from east to west, Zi Yao paused, Murong Xu sensed it sensitively, and also stopped, and the two hid in the shadows and took a closer look.

A thin figure appeared at the back of the house, walked to a fan-shaped window, reached out and fumbled for a long time, took out something, quickly hid it in his sleeve, and turned around to leave.

Zi Yao picked up a small pebble on the ground and threw it at her, and with a pop, the man fell to the ground, knocked his head on a wooden stake and fainted.

Zi Yao had already probed with her divine sense, and no one else was here, she dodged and jumped over, and Murong Xu also followed, raised this person's face and saw that it was indeed the little maid, and opened her palm, and a note wrapped in a small paper bag appeared.

Zi Yao unfolded it and looked at it, and there was still a command on it:

Put half of this medicinal powder into Ling Gongzi's tea, and give the other half to Murong Xu.

The inscription is: Black Feather

This handwriting is very similar to the note written to the eighth princess, although the brushstrokes can be changed, but the strength and method of the pen are exactly the same, Zi Yao raised the medicine powder to the end of her nose and sniffed it gently, frowning, but still put the paper bag and note in her hand as they were.

Pulling Murong Xu to dodge and walking to the wing room of the East Garden, and closing the door, Murong Xu asked nervously.

"Why are you so careless, pick it up and sniff it, if the poison is violent, it has been poisoned. ”

Zi Yao smiled, "It's okay, these are just medicinal powders that make people easy to fall asleep, and they are not fatal, besides, I have medical skills, so don't worry." ”

Hearing Zi Yao say this, he was a little relieved, took out the fire fold and lit the candlestick in the room, and walked to the rows of bookcases with Zi Yao, and sure enough, there were many books.

Murong Xu knew that Zi Yao would never forget, so he didn't rummage through it alone, but stood beside Zi Yao and gave her the lamp, while Zi Yao looked through them one by one.

It wasn't until the sound of a watch sounded outside that Zi Yao found a record of vampire bats.

Vampire bats: small in size, wings not enough to fold the size of a toddler's fist. The skull and teeth are highly specialized, with the upper canines being extra-large and knife-shaped, with unusually sharp "cuts". Vampire bats are powerful, tailless, and a veritable blood-feeding group.

Vampire bats live in groups, with an average lifespan of 20 years, fed with blood and meat, and are mainly distributed in the northern part of Nanyi.

Vampire bats will swarm when they encounter their prey, and only the bones of the prey will be eaten in a short period of time, and the larger the population, the stronger the attack ability, vampire bats like water, dark and heat, and like to live in dark and damp caves.

This passage made Zi Yao seem to have found a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and looked at Murong Xu with bright eyes, and Murong Xu was still immersed in the description of this discourse, which only introduced the characteristics and living habits of vampire bats, and did not explain the method of strangulation.

Zi Yao patted him on the shoulder, motioned to extinguish the fire candle and go back to the room to speak.

Returning to Murong Xu's study for a moment, Zi Yao paced back and forth in the room, walked a few laps and walked to Murong Xu's side with the book of species wonders just now.
