When he came to the side courtyard and saw Xiao Xue, Fang Ling asked about it, Xiao Xue was puzzled when she heard it, and finally picked up the "medicine" Ding and pondered for a long time, and finally came to only one explanation, that is, the silver light grass was not fully ripe

The silver light grass absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, but it is born in darkness, cannot see the sun, is born in water, and cannot be stained with dry soil. Therefore, it must be kept in metal vessels so that it does not decay.

Because Xiao Xue had only heard of the Silver Light Grass and had never seen it, she was not sure if it was really an adult Silver Light Grass, if it was not yet mature, then it was likely to decay after dehydration, and once it decayed, it would turn to ashes.

Because there were already some ashes left over from refining the "medicine" in the "medicine" ding, this explanation was reasonable.

Fang Ling only felt a great pity, wouldn't it be a great thing if he took this Silver Light Grass Mother, but now there was no way to go back to that cave, even if he went, there were so many curves and forks that he couldn't guarantee that he could really find it.

He went out into the courtyard and took something from the boxes in the carriage before going into the house to rest.

The next day, on the last boat in the evening, Fang Ling and Dong Canghai took a carriage out of the city first, pretending to be travelers on a long journey, because there were hundreds of elite soldiers at the dock checking passengers, so the city gate was very relaxed here, and the soldiers were almost chatting with each other.

Outside the market, the guards pretended to rest and parked the carriage in a corner, while Dong Canghai and the others quietly moved boxes of things to the corner of the shoal, which happened to be the blind spot of the dock's vision.

When it was late and the light dimmed, the fishermen began to return from the river one after another, and when they reached the last group of people, Dong Canghai and others began to move along the shallows.

Although the box is quite heavy, the realm of Dong Canghai and other guards in the Rigid Force Realm is not a joke, and they can lift a thousand catties, not to mention how many boxes of things?

So, under the cover of the night, the returning fishermen, and the wooden shelves around the shallow stalls, everyone came to the side of the warship and climbed up to the deck along the rope.

After everyone got on the boat, Su whispered to his son to be careful, and Fang Ling left in the night.

Back in the city, it was already the time when the lights were just on, and the city gate was about to be closed in half an hour, and Fang Ling knew that he had to hurry up.

The night scene of Pingtan Pass is more prosperous than that of Qingshui Pass, and the figures of patrolling soldiers constantly appear on the streets. Fang Ling mingled in the crowd, avoiding the gaze of the patrolling soldiers, and soon came to the outside of the general's mansion.

As the highest institution in Pingtan Pass, the general's mansion is also heavily guarded. However, Fang Ling came out of the heavily guarded palace, and compared to there, this seemingly impregnable mansion was actually full of loopholes, plus after taking the Silver Light Grass, Fang Ling's cultivation had reached the peak realm of the Qi Storage Realm, and his strength could open the monument and gravel, and his body could be as light as a wild goose.

After sneaking into the general's mansion quietly, Fang Ling searched for a while, and finally followed a maid who delivered supper, and finally saw Zhou Yongcheng near the atrium of the official residence.

Like the appearance Chen Mou had heard, Zhou Yongcheng was about forty years old, with a square face and a wide forehead, a red mole the size of a soybean at the center of his eyebrows, and a slightly chubby figure.

He was dressed in civilian clothes and sat in a large hall, signing official documents and the like, while the guard was outside the courtyard, some distance away.

After the maid brought the supper in, Fang Ling secretly jumped down from the wall, walked into the hall slowly, and closed the door gently.

Zhou Yongcheng didn't raise his head, and asked, "Is there anything else, is there something wrong with Madame?"

Without hearing an echo, he looked up and suddenly saw a handsome and tall young man in the room, and the most eye-catching thing was the dragon and phoenix jade pendant he was holding in his hand.

Looking at the jade pendant, Zhou Yongcheng was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the identity of the person who came over, and respectfully bowed and said: "The subordinate Zhou Yongcheng pays a visit to the king of Shicheng." ”

Fang Ling looked at him lightly, this person spoke respectfully, with a humble look, as if he had made a big mistake, and even his body trembled.

However, if you only look at the appearance, it is very wrong, from their words and deeds, to the subtleties to analyze, that is their true inner "sex" character.

So, he just stood quietly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Fang Ling did not speak, Zhou Yongcheng immediately 'revealed' a sincere and frightened expression, and looked up cautiously: "The ministers really don't know that His Royal Highness and Niangniang have arrived in the city, His Royal Highness came to visit late at night, and the ministers are really frightened." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, and said word by word: "You should indeed be afraid, because at such a close distance, I only need one knife to kill General Zhou." ”

Zhou Yongcheng's face changed significantly, and he even subconsciously glanced at the protruding hilt on Fang Ling's back, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Your ...... What does Your Highness mean by this, the ministers are loyal to the court!"

Fang Ling laughed, sat down on the chair and said, "Lord Zhou, nothing else, I'm just joking, a loyal minister like Lord Zhou, how can I do anything to you?"

Zhou Yongcheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and said: "Your Highness has won the award, and the ministers are just doing their duty." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, but his words suddenly changed: "But as far as I know, Lord Zhou's duty is probably not only to the imperial court, but also to the queen mother." Didn't Lord He come here a long time ago and tell you that as long as you take my 'sex' life, you can get the happiness of the queen's mother, and let you be added to the knighthood?"

Zhou Yongcheng's face has changed again, from a businessman to a general, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past 20 years, and he thinks that he has seen a lot of the world, even if he is a prince in front of him, he can calm down.

But the king of Shicheng in front of him, although he is young, but since he came out, he has not played his cards according to reason, and when he heard the previous sentence, he couldn't guess what the next sentence was going to say, and it was better to seem that he had mastered the details, and suddenly he was "chaotic".

Zhou Yongcheng hurriedly took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said with an innocent face: "Your Highness, what are these words, how dare I, a little courtier, have ill intentions towards Your Highness?"

Fang Ling looked at him playfully and said, "Of course it's best if you can do this, but what does Lord He think?"

Zhou Yongcheng rolled his eyes, and replied with a loyal and courageous expression: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Lord He did come to me and said that he wanted to murder His Highness, but he was bluntly rejected by his subordinates. Although this will offend the queen mother, as a courtier, how can I do such a rebellious thing?"

Fang Ling pretended to be skeptical and said, "General Zhou, did you really refuse?"

It seemed to see that Fang Ling had the intention of believing, Zhou Yongcheng hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Your Highness, the minister can become the general of this city, relying on the emperor's grace and might, His Royal Highness is the son of the emperor, no matter how bold the minister is, how dare he have evil thoughts against His Highness? Please believe in the loyalty of the minister, no matter how much he threatens and tempts, the minister has not been moved at all, even if he offends the queen, he will desperately want to send His Royal Highness out of the city!"

Zhou Yongcheng looked like he was digging out his heart and lungs, but Fang Ling clearly saw the sly gaze in his eyes, so he stood up, helped Zhou Yongcheng up and said: "General Zhou is really trustworthy, but I will not let you act in front of Lord He, and pretend to agree to his request." ”

Zhou Yongcheng was puzzled: "Your Highness means ......"

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "In this way, when I go to the dock with the queen mother and his party tomorrow, won't General Zhou be able to secretly help? ”

Zhou Yongcheng immediately came to his senses, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness's trick is really clever." ”

Fang Ling untied the small burden behind him at this time, put the heavy items on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Although I can't give you a promise to the high-ranking official Houlu like Empress Song, but the thank you gift is still a little bit. ”

"Your Highness, it is a matter of course for your subordinates to serve you, how can you ask for any thanks?" Zhou Yongcheng said with a straight face.

Fang Ling Nunu said, "Just what I gave you, open it and take a look." ”

Zhou Yongcheng thanked him, slowly opened the baggage, and when he saw the contents inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that in the baggage were three pearls the size of pigeon eggs, as well as gold and jade, each of which was worth a thousand gold.

Seeing the greed in Zhou Yongcheng's eyes, Fang Ling's heart became even more numerous, and he smiled slightly: "General Zhou, this is just a little thank-you gift, after you send me and my mother out of the city, I will have 10,000 taels of gold to give!"

"Wan ...... Ten thousand taels of gold?" Zhou Yongcheng was taken aback when he heard this, and the greed in his eyes became even stronger.

Fang Ling pretended to smile deeply, and said in a slightly raised voice: "If there is no gold dot, General Zhou thinks that I may escape from the palace smoothly, there may be a bunch of courtiers serving me, and there may be guards and imperial doctors who are willing to follow me with all their hearts?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yongcheng suddenly realized, as a businessman, he naturally knew the truth that this money could be channeled, and he was originally surprised by the rumors that the eldest prince had left the palace, how could a prince who had been hidden in the deep palace for sixteen years have the imperial doctor guards to follow him?

Now the mystery has finally been revealed, and it turns out that it is just for money!

The few jewels that were taken out at hand were so expensive, wouldn't it be easy to take out another 10,000 taels of gold, and it was no wonder that the people in the palace would also move.

Moreover, he is also very sensitive to smell some smells, these things are simply a lot of "hair" for Fang Ling, and there are bigger and bigger treasures on him!
