Fang Zhaofan lowered the curtain and said to the disciples, "You should also pay attention to these people from tomorrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Yes. The disciples immediately replied in unison.

It was indeed a little unpleasant to be watched like this, but this was their place, and it was understandable that they were on guard, so Fang Zhaofan didn't want to have a head-on conflict with them.

From that day on, Fang Zhaofan took his female disciples to various small towns in Qianfeng County every day, trying to inquire about Guan Hermit from others.

However, after ten days of inquiry, they did not find out anything related to Guan Hermit, and no one even heard about the hermit himself. As for his disciple Yin Heng, there were two or three people who had seen him, but they all said that everyone just said hello at that time, and did not say anything else.

But they didn't know that Yin Heng was a disciple of Guan Hermit, they only knew that Yin Heng was a medicine refiner who lived in the mountains.

That night, Fang Zhaofan and his party returned to the hotel without any gain.

"Little master, are we going out tomorrow to investigate?" one of the disciples asked.

Fang Zhaofan looked at the silent night sky outside the window and said, "Don't go out tomorrow for the time being, let's discuss how to find it at home." ”

These female disciples immediately smiled and nodded.

After walking outside for more than ten days in a row, they were also tired, especially when they came back almost every day without any gain, and the frustration made people feel even more tired.

Early the next morning, Gu Eighteen Niang and the four disciples came back.

Fang Zhaofan hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Gu Bainiang sat down and sighed: "We have asked the entire Wanluo small county town, but unfortunately no one has seen the person on this portrait, let alone Lu Gaofei." ”

Fang Zhaofan pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, the information filled in by this person when he checked into the hotel was fake. ”

"Well, quite possibly. Gu Bainiang said, and said: "But this portrait is definitely not fictional, so we don't think about whether he is called Lu Gaofei for the time being, but find a way to find him through this portrait." ”

"However, in the absence of any trace of him, how can we find him?" Fang Zhaofan said.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, Gu Bainiang instinctively tightened her coat, and said, "It's more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, let's go back to the capital first." I would like to give this portrait to His Majesty, and he will find a way to find this man. ”

"That's a good idea. Fang Zhaofan nodded hurriedly.

So, Gu Bainiang and her entourage set foot on the road to the capital early the next morning.

The sky was covered with snow, and the earth was also dyed white.

They rode through the streets and alleys, through the small bridges, through the jungle wilderness, all the way to the capital.

Thinking that she would be able to meet Fang Zhaoheng in the capital, Gu Bainiang's heart was a little anxious.

She has been separated from her son for more than half a year, and she really wants to meet him.

.............

Winter in Akebono is the same as in Akigu, and this season is full of snow.

In the early morning, with a creak, the door of the inner official and eunuch was pushed open from the inside, and two fathers-in-law came out.

Walking in front was Zhang Shibai, the head of the internal official prison, and closely followed by Zhou Rong, the secretary of the Dali Temple of Zhaoguo, who had changed his appearance.

Now, Zhou Rong's name in Shuguo is Zhao Baomu.

Today, it is the first time that Zhang Shibai took his relatives to the Heart Cultivation Hall where Emperor Xiao Hong of Shuguo was located to repair a lamp for the emperor.

Before this, although Zhou Rong had already worked in the internal official prison, because he was still a novice, Zhang Shibai would not call him whenever he came to the emperor's side.

But after a month's observation, Zhang 18 found that Zhou Rong could be his assistant, so he brought him here.

On the way to the emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang 18 said to him: "At this time, Your Majesty will usually be on the side of the Yinghua Palace, so there are only father-in-law and palace maids on the side of the Heart Cultivation Palace, so you don't have to be nervous." ”

Zhou Rong hurriedly said: "I'm not nervous. ”

"But maybe he'll be there, if he's really there, you'll follow me and kowtow to him, and then you don't have to say anything else, you know?" Zhang 18 instructed again.

"Got it. Zhou Rong said busily.

The two of them passed through two wide squares, and then walked along the long corridor for a long time before coming to the Hall of Heart Cultivation.

Inside, as Zhang Shibai said, there were only a few fathers-in-law and palace maids.

Zhang Shibai was immediately relieved, and took Zhou Rong into the room quickly to check the lamp.

It was a broken lamp, but it wasn't a big problem, so the two of them quickly fixed it.

Now that it had been repaired, they immediately left the Heart Cultivation Temple.

As they walked through the square, suddenly a man in front of them was walking in their direction.

Zhang Shibai raised his eyes and looked, his expression immediately became nervous and serious, and he hurriedly saluted the man and said, "Second Highness." ”

Hearing Zhang Shiba's words, Zhou Rong also hurriedly saluted the man.

The second prince, Xiao Diyuan, nodded slightly at them and continued to stride forward.

Zhou Rong looked at his back for a long time, and he didn't leave immediately even when Zhang Shibai pulled him.

Just now, Zhou Rong quickly glanced at the face of the second prince, Xiao Diyuan, as he saluted.

Just that glance was enough to make Zhou Rong's mouth open in surprise.

Xiao Diyuan looks so much like Li Pei, the emperor of Zhaoguo!

Zhou Rong was sent by Li Pei to investigate Xiao Diyuan's identity, since entering the palace of Shuguo, Zhou Rong has been looking for opportunities to meet Xiao Diyuan, but because he had to be familiar with the business before, he had to stay in the inner official prison every day, and today was the first time he walked through most of the palace to the Palace of Raising Hearts.

What surprised him even more was that he actually met Xiao Diyuan here.

"Hey, hey, I know that His Royal Highness is handsome, but you don't have to be so obsessed. Zhang Shibai said angrily.

Only then did Zhou Rong realize his gaffe, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

As he walked, Zhou Rong smiled and said, "I heard that this Second Highness has won the King of Strategy Jiang Chuanxiong for two consecutive terms, so I have long admired him in my heart, and now that I see him, I am really excited." ”

"You shouldn't have worked so hard to get into the palace just to see him, right?" Zhang Shibai asked, looking at him with squinted eyes.

"Of course not exactly, I also want to find a job. ”

"After you have been in the palace for a long time, you may be able to see His Second Highness often. Zhang 18 said.

Zhou Rong smiled and nodded.

For the rest of the journey, Zhou Rong was thinking about his thoughts.

Zhang Shibai shook his head helplessly and took the lead in the house.

Zhou Rong swept away the snow from the long wooden bench outside the house with his hands, and sat on it quietly thinking about things.

The snowflakes were flying, Zhou Rong was thinking about the 'three princes who were eaten by wild wolves' in Zhaoguo, and then compared with Xiao Diyuan who he had just seen, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, and his emotions became more and more.

Dear friends, the second watch is coming, good night!
