When the inner room was empty, Xin Zi reached out and took off the purse tied to her waist, carefully took out the contents and placed them on her lap one by one.

That's all she has left.

A wrench, a unicorn jade pendant, a whistle, and a Longyan mine pendant.

Xin Zi's fingers gently caressed the small objects.

Zhen Yachen pointed out a way for her to live, but how to go on this road can only be figured out by herself.

And the gifts or tokens collected along the way in front of her have become the only capital she can rely on.

Four ornaments, behind which there are four stories, carrying the promises made to her by four people.

Xin Zi now looks at the past one by one, and only then does she feel that the four flags that are planted on her future road have jointly constructed a map to show her the way.

The unicorn jade pendant was given to her by her uncle before Xin Zi got married. Later, like the dagger engraved with the pattern of the Sacred Heart Niangniang, she regarded it as the last memorial left to her by her uncle. But that day at Jiamen Pass, before dawn, the black-clothed man who kidnapped Ah Brown was carrying a matching green dragon jade pendant. It also gives this jade pendant a lot of new meanings. What secrets are hidden behind this jade pendant, what is the origin of the man in black, if you can find out the ins and outs behind these problems, you may be able to find Ah Brown's body.

But according to Mr. Zhen, Zhu Ciyi and Tang Jiashan are also secretly looking for the whereabouts of Ah Brown's body, and the other party is overwhelming, how can she be able to defeat it?

Thinking of this, Xin Zi's fingers unconsciously slid from the jade pendant to the wrench. This wrench was a token given to her by Yan Xiye, the prince of Xiyou, as a reward after she saved his life. At that time, the young prince told her that if she needed anything, she should go to him with a wrench, and if he could do it, he would do everything in his power to do it for her. At that time, she accepted the wrench, but she never imagined that she would ever be able to use it one day. Now it seems that the only one who can compete with King Xin and Old Man Tang is the royal family of Xiyou. Before looking for Ah Brown's body, it is necessary to make a trip to the Seiyu Imperial Palace and get the help of the crown prince and the empress dowager. Otherwise, she alone will be able to find Ah Brown's body before King Xin's people, even if she finds it, exchange her heart for him and save him, but in the end, I am afraid that my seven-trick exquisite heart will still fall into the hands of King Xin and his party again, and Ah Brown will not be able to live.

But if you want to go to the western continent, this is a long way and you don't have to think about it, and now how to take this first step is still a question - how to get out of the Tang Mansion and step out of this house?

Xin Zi's fingertips flicked the jade whistle that was placed next to the wrench. This is the gift that Zuo Qiyang secretly gave her when he said goodbye to herself before leaving Xijing. At that time, he said that he had nothing to help her on this trip to the east, only a hidden stake planted in Tokyo, and if she really reached the point of desperation, blow this whistle, and someone would naturally come out to help.

Will anyone really come and help her escape from this cage?

After a short hesitation, Xin Zi pursed her lips and clenched the jade whistle: no matter what, she had to give it a try, after all, this was her only way out at the moment.

Xin Zi's eyes were full of attachment and sorrow when he finally looked at the dragon rock mine pendant.

After taking a deep breath, she lifted her hand to pick up the pendant and place it on her forehead.

Ah Brown, from now on, I will live for you. If you have a spirit in heaven, please give me the courage to go on.

Retracting the unicorn jade pendant and wrench, Xin Zi finally picked up the whistle, put it between her lips and teeth, and blew it with all her might.

The whistle was clear and the sound was long, turning back between the various courtyards of the Tang Mansion.

I don't dare to say that the entire capital, at least all corners of this Tang Mansion compound must hear this voice clearly.

Xin Zi blew one after another, her eyes glued to the door, expecting the helper Zuo Qiyang said would appear.

After six whistles, a figure flickered outside the door.

Xin Zi put down the jade whistle and held her breath to look in the direction where the figure was passing.

Is there really a rescuer? Is there really someone who, as Zuo Qiyang said, came to save himself from the predicament when he heard the whistle?

Xin Zi was full of joy, and almost got up to greet the "rescuers" outside the door, but in the end, the despair in her eyes after seeing the person who appeared was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, and it was cold to her heart.

Takemoto walked in, holding the porridge and a few side dishes that Tang Yinzhong had told her to go to the kitchen to get before. Walking to Xin Zi's bed, placing the tray on the table next to the bed, she turned to stand in front of Xin Zi, and pointed to the jade whistle in her hand with suspicious eyes and asked, "You blew the whistle just now?" ”

Xin Zi instinctively put away the jade whistle and hid it behind him, and explained with a somewhat flustered expression: "It's just that I suddenly remembered that I had such a gadget on my body, so I had nothing to do and took it out to try, but I didn't expect the voice to be as clear." ”

With such a pale explanation, Xin Zi already felt a little embarrassed when she heard it, and then raised her eyes to look at Takemoto, and sure enough, she didn't buy it.

"This is a distress signal, right?" Takemoto asked sharply.

Xin Zi opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she only felt that no matter what she said to refute it now, it seemed extremely weak and ridiculous, so she finally had to close her mouth and lowered her eyes: "If you want to report it to Lord Tang and Mrs. Tang, just go ahead and say it." ”

But her heart was full of bitterness: it seems that the jade whistle given by Zuo Qiyang did not work as he said, she should have expected that this is not a magic weapon, what demons and monsters can be summoned? How could he conjure up a rescuer for himself in this Tang Mansion out of thin air. Takemoto, who was spying on himself, found out about it, and at most snatched the jade whistle away. If you think of other ways to escape, there will always be a way.

But when I thought about it, one of the problems that Takemoto solved was that Xin Zi stood there in shock for a long time.

"This is the jade whistle that Lord Zuo Qiyang gave you?"

Takemoto's question was thrown, but his face was unfazed.

She is Mrs. Tang's personal maidservant, and her range of action should be limited to the backyard of the Tang Mansion most of the time, how could she know that Zuo Qiyang, who had been loyal to King Xin many years ago, even recognized the jade whistle that Zuo Qiyang gave her at a glance?

"Who are you?" Xin Zi looked at Takemoto and asked with a full belly.

Takemoto completely ignored Xin Zi's question, only took two steps back, and took out a soft sword about an arm's length from his waist, placed the horizontal sword in front of him, and knelt heavily on the ground to bow to Xin Zi.

"Humble Takemoto, swear allegiance to Lord Zuo Qiyang Zuo. Hearing the whistle is like seeing it. What does Miss Xin command, go to the soup and go to the fire, and she will not give up! (To be continued.) )
