Chapter 22: Ache

Tang Zixi said: "Father, that person is willing to sacrifice his life to save a child he doesn't know, and he doesn't ask for anything in return, he is a good person, if I don't make a move, he will inevitably be beaten, maybe he will hurt his life." Helping him advance some money is just a gesture, so why bother not to save him?"

Tang Zhongli reminded her angrily: "Xi'er, whether you are a good person or a bad person will not be engraved on your forehead." As the so-called acquaintance doesn't know his heart, how do you know that when he was in the market just now, he deliberately pretended to please you? Appearance is the most demagogic, especially those cunning demon clans, you are too simple, easy to be deceived by others. ”

Eh, what a sentence of "cunning demon clan", is this scolding Yunhe on a detour?

I didn't expect my father's prejudice against Yunhe to be so big, and I was kind enough to help a passer-by to point out that I could scold Yunhe, Tang Zixi was depressed! How can I convince my father to accept Yunhe?

Alas, it's a trivial matter whether to accept it or not now. The reason for the poor little husband was captured by the priest, and the bad luck is unknown......

This time, I went to the palace to face the saint, just taking the opportunity to find Yunhe. Tang Zixi estimated that Yunhe must be trapped in a cell in the palace, maybe he was suffering at the moment......

Thinking of Yunhe's situation, Tang Zixi was very worried, and she entered the wing room with a heavy heart, planning to nourish her spirit and face the saint tomorrow.

In a moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello Miss Tang, I'm Ah Che, can I have a few words with you?"

It was the young man he had just helped.

Tang Zixi was not wary of this good young man who acted bravely, so he went to open the door.

Ah Che walked in and said with a sad face, "Miss Tang, I came to ask for your help this time. Maybe my request was a bit abrupt, but I really didn't have a choice. ”

Tang Zixi said: "Ah Che, don't worry about any difficulties you have. ”

Ah Che sighed and said, "I can't hide it, I'm from the palace, and it's inconvenient to say my identity." This time I came out to do something. I didn't expect that I didn't even know when the space ring was gone. I want to borrow 100,000 Chiyan coins from Tang Zixi to solve my urgent needs. Rest assured, I won't cheat you out of your money. I went out in a hurry this time, so I just brought a jade pendant with me. As far as I know, this jade pendant should be quite valuable, not to mention pawning 100,000, even if it is hundreds of thousands, it is definitely not a problem. I want to use the jade pendant as collateral, if I can return the 100,000 yuan within three days, I will get the jade pendant back, and if I can't return the 100,000 yuan, then the jade pendant belongs to Miss Tang. Miss Tang, what do you think?"

After Ah Che finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his clothes.

After all, Tang Zixi was born in a small family, and he still has the basic ability to appreciate treasures.

She could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was not an ordinary thing.

This is a glass jade dragon pendant. The texture of glass jadeite is very transparent, and the crystals of the mineral are very dense and delicate, and the cotton spots inside can be seen very clearly. However, when Ah Che held this jade pendant in the palm of his hand, Tang Zixi could see the texture of Ah Che's palm through the jade pendant, which showed that its transparency was extraordinary.

The flying dragon adopts the technique of double-sided carving, which is fine and lifelike. The details can even depict the scales of the dragon one by one, as if they were living creatures!

Although Ah Che and Tang Zixi were separated by a few feet, Tang Zixi could still sense the incomparably cool and pure heaven and earth aura that escaped from this piece of jade.

This is not just a jade pendant for decoration, but also a piece of spiritual jade.

If there is a jade with aura, the effect will be even greater. Long-term wear can also prolong life, improve physical fitness, and enhance the effect of cultivation.

However, whether a piece of jade has aura or not, ordinary people can't see it. Usually monks who have reached the realm of return to the void have this kind of vision.

Tang Zixi had a divine book in her mind, and it was naturally easy for her to identify Lingyu.

To measure the value of a piece of jewelry, in addition to looking at its material and craftsmanship, the meaning behind it also has great reference value. Putting aside the background of this jade pendant, this material and handiwork alone can be auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 100 million.

As for the spirit jade, in the eyes of the monks, it was even more priceless.

Intuition told Tang Zixi that this jade pendant was not simple, and Ah Che was not an ordinary person. Just now Ah Che said that he was from the palace......

Indeed, since ancient times, Lingyu has been very favored by the emperor's family.

Seeing Tang Zixi staring at the jade in his hand in a daze, Ah Che thought that Tang Zixi was very interested in this jade pendant.

Ah Che said: "Miss Tang, I don't know if you are willing to help me with this. ”

Tang Zixi didn't immediately agree, but asked him, "Ah Che, I have a question. ”

"Miss Tang, please speak. Archer said politely.

Tang Zixi said: "Why don't you just find a pawnshop for a mortgage, you and I meet in Pingshui, why do you trust me so much?"

Ah Che smiled: "As you can see, this is a piece of spirit jade, but not everyone can tell it. To be honest, I don't believe in pawnshops, and I only need 100,000, so there's no need to mortgage it with Lingyu. But Miss Tang is different. You and I don't know each other, you are willing to save each other, I believe in your person. Miss Tang, are you willing to help me with this? Or do you think this piece of spiritual jade is not worth 100,000, and you are worried that I will cheat you out of money? Don't worry, I won't lie to you, and when I get things done, I will not only return the 100,000 yuan, but also the food expenses for the past few days, and I will also prepare a gift to thank you. ”

Tang Zixi shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that. Since you are a friend, I am naturally willing to help you. Thank you for trusting me so much. There is no need for gifts, since they are friends, there is no need to be so careful, and 100,000 is not much, and your spirit jade is far more than 100,000. If you don't come to me and ask me to return the spirit jade, I'll be the one who gets the benefits. ”

As he spoke, Tang Zixi took out a spatial ring, which contained 100,000 Chiyan coins.

Ah Che accepted the space ring and handed the spirit jade to Tang Zixi.

Just now Ah Che said that he was working in the palace, which made Tang Zixi very concerned.

Tang Zixi asked again: "Ah Che, I can't hide it, I came to the imperial capital this time to go to the palace to seek errands." In terms of work, it has been arranged. It's just that it's my first time in the imperial capital, and I'm not familiar with the palace. If you are in the palace in the future, you will take care of me!"

When Ah Che heard this, he smiled happily: "It seems that the two of us are really destined! By the way, Miss Tang, what kind of errand are you?"

Tang Zixi said apologetically: "I know some alchemy knowledge and work in the alchemy room. What about you?"

Ah Che gave Tang Zixi a thumbs up: "Miss Tang is really talented! As far as I know, the people who can stay in the alchemy room of the palace are all alchemists with the lowest rank! Miss Tang's achievements at such a young age are so high, Ah Che admires! Compared with Miss Tang's work, it would be ashamed, I just did chores in the imperial study." You also know that His Majesty is very fond of alchemists, and if Ah Che accidentally makes a mistake in the future, he will still count on Miss Tang to take care of him!"

Isn't that where the emperor lives?

Tang Zixi couldn't help but look at Ah Che again.

Ah Che's appearance and temperament are outstanding. The standard of employing people in the palace is very high, and this person can mix in the imperial study, it must not be simple!

The two talked about some more topics, and soon Ah Che took his leave.

As soon as Ah Che left, the little golden dragon came out of Tang Zixi's sleeve and flew in front of Tang Zixi.

"Xixi, I think this Ah Che's origin is very suspicious. Don't trust him too much! And he's still a member of the palace, and the people in the palace aren't good! Maybe he's been sent by Emperor Lie to test you. The little golden dragon said vigilantly.

Tang Zixi's expression sank, and he said leisurely: "Yuanyuan, don't worry. Ever since he said he was from the palace, I cared a lot. I hope he isn't one of Emperor Lie's, so I have one more friend. If he was sent by Emperor Lie, it would be even better, as long as I pretended not to know, maybe I could ask for some news about Yunhe from his words. ”

Seeing Tang Zixi so calm, Xiao Jinlong was a little relieved.

Tang Zixi took the little golden dragon and escaped into the divine book space.

Everyone is waiting for Tang Zixi.

Tang Zixi told him how he met Ah Che, took out the spirit jade he handed over to him, and asked, "Can you help me see what the origin of this spirit jade is?"

Among the people here, Yan Shaoqin is the most well-informed.

Yan Shaoqin took the spirit jade, carefully held it for a while, and then replied: "Zixi, this kind of glass jade with aura is very rare, it may be just a decoration for monks with high realms, but for people with clumsy qualifications, long-term wearing has the miraculous effect of improving physical fitness and condensing the sea of qi, so rich people compete for it, and it has become a priceless treasure." Generally, only people from super families or imperial families will have it. There are also many people who pay tribute to this spiritual jade in order to please the emperor, and of course, the emperor may also use it to reward meritorious officials and concubines. ”

Tang Zixi immediately understood.

Assuming that Ah Che came from an ordinary background, then his chances of obtaining this spirit jade were very low.

But if he is someone close to Emperor Lie, then it becomes possible for Emperor Lie to reward him. If it was rewarded by Emperor Lie, it can only mean that he has a good relationship with Emperor Lie.

If Ah Che knew that his affair with Yunhe made him choose between himself and Emperor Lie, would he be loyal to Emperor Lie or loyal to friendship?

I've only known him for a day, and he's been following Emperor Lie for a long time. Is this choice still difficult?

Sure enough, this person had to be guarded against!

In the depths of the palace, there is a secret dungeon.

This is a very old dungeon, usually imprisoned here by important prisoners of the court, and recently a new criminal has arrived in the dungeon.

There was a man locked in the cross.

He hung his head and couldn't see his face clearly.

However, in the dim light, you can faintly see that he has a pair of fox ears.

Tsing Yi has been stained with blood, and his slender body is like a weak willow that has no support. If it weren't for the heavy shackles that sustained him, perhaps he would have fallen long ago.

Silver hair fell down the sides of his cheeks. There was a silver collar around his neck, the spikes of the collar had pierced into his flesh, and the reddish blood slowly seeped from the wound, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

The hands that were locked horizontally in the iron frame, the wrists hung weakly, and the fingers that were as slender as Lan did not move at all.
