Zhao Pu took Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to the other courtyard, and saw that in the courtyard, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was drinking tea, and Chen Xing'er was chatting with her on the side.

Gongsun had already painted a portrait, and Master Bao sat aside, frowning at the painting.

Zhan Zhao recognized the little girl as soon as he saw it, "Little Seven? ”

Sitting there was Chen Qiqi, who was brought out of the palace by Zhao Pu. When she left the palace, she didn't have to pretend to be a little eunuch, she changed her original clothes, and the set worn by the apprentices of Tengxiang Pavilion was Lili Suosuo.

Zhan Zhao introduced Bai Yutang.

Most of the wicks used in Kaifeng Mansion are also produced by Tengxiang Pavilion, and Xiao Qi has been here a few times occasionally and knows Zhanzhao.

Master Bao showed Zhan Zhao the portrait of Gongsun Tong Guò Xiaoqi and asked, "Zhan Guard, what do you think?" ”

Zhan Zhao took the portrait and glanced at it in confusion, and immediately frowned.

Bai Yutang also leaned over to take a look, and saw that the portrait on the portrait was an old man, with a thin face and a scar on the bridge of his nose.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, "Huh? This is not ......."

"Zhou Zanghai." Master Bao frowned, "I really didn't expect it." ”

"Who is Zhou Zanghai?" Bai Yutang felt a little familiar.

"You haven't seen anyone, you should have seen paintings." Zhanzhao reminded.

In a word, it really reminded Bai Yutang, "Oh...... Is he a royal painter? ”

"It's the head of the royal painters." Gongsun said, "The old man is good at calligraphy, painting, carving, and calligraphy...... All in all, everything is good. ”

Bai Yutang has indeed seen this person's calligraphy and painting, "Is the imperial painter in the palace all year round?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Pu nodded, "It's just that he doesn't usually wear white, he is always black, and he doesn't come out much in the painting academy, but I remember this scar." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Pu touched the side of his nose.

Master Bao nodded, "The prince is so thoughtful, he actually remembers, and he almost can't remember it." ”

"Not strange." Zhao Pu smiled slightly, "Because I made that scar." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Pu in surprise.

Zhao Pu shrugged, "I still remember when he was a child, he painted me a portrait, I don't know why, others say it looks like it, but I don't think it's like it at all, I hated that old man since I was a child." ”

Gongsun was puzzled, "Zhou Zanghai Danqing is wonderful, why don't you look like a ...... when you draw it?"

"Zhao Zhen didn't say it either." Zhao Pulai was angry, "The stinky old man painted me like a ghost." ”

"What do others say?" Gongsun was surprised.

Zhao Pu pointed to his eyes, "It's eyes!" The eyes he drew me were like beasts, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. ”

Gongsun frowned, "That should be intentional." ”

"You think so, too?" Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "I've seen the paintings he painted for others, and I concluded that he definitely did it on purpose." ”

"And then?" Gongsun asked.

"At that time, the Queen Mother was still Queen Liu." Zhao Pu said to himself, "There was a time...... Zhou Zanghai listened to Empress Liu's meaning and painted a portrait of Zhao Zhen, who was about seven years old that year. As I passed by, I saw him painting, and with just one glance, I knew he was doing something bad. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"How do I look at it, I think Zhao Zhen looks very similar in the painting, but the god is special with eyes, and it looks a bit like some kind of small animal."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Pu sneered, "After thinking about it, the seven points he painted are like people, and the three points are like raccoon cats." ”

Everyone opened their mouths and took a breath - everyone knew about the tanuki changing the prince, and this was simply ill-intentioned.

"Although I didn't know about that file back then, but it was not pleasing to the eye, the old man was indeed a clever hand, with a few random strokes, he drew a child who originally looked very good, scheming, and cunning and suspicious. Linked to the matter of the tanuki changing the prince, if Empress Liu saw this portrait back then, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not be a little afraid of Zhao Zhen. She should have trouble sleeping, and she can see the face of the tanuki demonized into a human in her dreams, and she feels that after this child is raised, if she knows the truth of the year, she will definitely seek revenge on herself. ”

"Is he scaring Queen Liu?" Gongsun asked.

"It's not so much to scare Empress Liu, it's better to hint that Empress Liu got rid of Zhao Zhen." Bai Yutang spoke.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows and nodded, "When I was a child, I had this feeling of ill intentions. “

"And then what did you do?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

Zhao Pu smiled, "I accidentally kicked a stone in his face and hit the bridge of his nose." ”

Everyone knows that it is obviously not "accidental...... That scar turned out to be left at that time, no wonder Zhao Pu remembered it clearly.

Zhao Pu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, I kicked him in the eye socket at that time." ”

Everyone was puzzled.

"I thought that if he was kicked and injured his eye socket, he would definitely wrap his eyes and he would not be able to draw for a while, but who knew that he suddenly moved, so he hit the bridge of his nose." Zhao Pu said, touching his chin, "Actually, now that I think about it, he may be good at martial arts, and then instinctively avoided it...... But if I avoided it completely, it might arouse my suspicions, so I hesitated, and as a result, I was left with that scar. ”

Everyone nodded, and there were indeed traces of the contact before and after, and there were many doubts.

"And what about the portrait that came after?" Gongsun asked.

"I beckoned the Imperial Doctor to take him away and healed him, and then he was torn apart and thrown into the river." Zhao Pu said, "I later warned him, and then he disappeared like nothing, trying not to appear in front of me and Zhao Zhen." ”

"How did you warn him?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Oh, I just greeted him again and said, 'You seem to have a lot of secrets,' are you a bad person?" Zhao Pu replied.

Everyone laughed, for a teenager, this is normal, but those who say it have no intention to listen to it, not to mention that Zhou Zanghai may really have a ghost in his heart.

"Is he the one who secretly attacked you in the palace?" Gongsun asked.

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Probably ......"

"If he's going to be shocked......" Bai Yutang said, "it's probably him!" He can do a lot of things with the wind, including all kinds of pretending. The "spider spirit" who pretended to be a ghost behind the back of the Qige case was also him. ”

Everyone thought it was very likely.

"What is his purpose?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Bai Yutang picked up the portrait and looked at Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Everyone tacitly understood that it seemed ...... It is necessary to ask a few old-timers to take a look at this portrait and identify whether the person on the portrait is a former enemy.

……

Gongsun found a piece of paper, pasted the scar on the nose part of Zhou Zanghai's portrait, and everyone took the portrait to the courtyard next door.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I heard a commotion inside.

Everyone was stunned, what are these old men doing? It's a toss to not sleep so late.

Bai Yutang walked into the door suspiciously, glanced at it, and retreated silently, with a look that seemed to be very reluctant to go in.

Zhan Zhao was curious, glanced at the probe, and was speechless...... No wonder listening to the sound of the noise, it turned out that there was a table in the courtyard, and the four of Tianzun, Yin Hou, Master Wusha and Xiao Changtian were playing horse hanging, which was called a lively scene.

Lu Tianhan leaned on the rattan couch on the side, probably just changed out, and was drinking a little wine.

When everyone was hesitating to go in, Gongsun suddenly rushed in and roared, "You guys are all six hundred years old, is there any mistake?" It's almost dawn and you don't sleep, don't you want to live?! Do you know that people who are over 100 years old are not allowed to fight horses and hang them? What to do if you go crazy? And you! Tianzun pointed at Lu Tianhan, who was holding a wine glass, "Stay up late and still drink?" You're in your early twenties! Put it down for me! ”

After Gongsun roared, the scene was silent, Lu Tianhan's wine was spilled, Tianzun hid behind Yin Hou, Yin Hou scratched his head, Master Wusha directly recited Amitabha, and dared to compare with Gongsun that his Xiaolinzi was too gentle.

Yao Changtian also looked at Zhao Pu - so fierce!

Zhan Zhao and the others stood at the door and silently counted the ages of several people - it adds up to six hundred, and they deserve to be scolded......

A few old men obediently accepted the horse crane and prepared to go to bed.

"Wait!" Gongsun pointed to the stool.

The five of them obediently went back to sit down.

Gongsun opened a prescription, called Chen Xing'er, and said to a few old people, "Wait a while, I'll let Chen Xing'er cook a tranquilizer for you, and sleep until three o'clock tomorrow." ”

A few old men scratched their faces and looked at their apprentices.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help but laugh and walked in gloating.

Zhao Pu also walked in, took the drawings and put them on the table, "Take a look at this before drinking the soothing soup, do you know anyone?" After speaking, he patted Gongsun's shoulder, which means - to Shun Mao.

A group of old people leaned over to look at the drawings.

Tianzun blinked after reading it, "Who?" ”

Although Zhan Zhao and the others were also a little mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but be disappointed - don't you know......

But then Yin Hou touched his chin and said to himself, "Have you seen it anywhere?" ”

"I also feel a little familiar." Lu Tianhan also spoke.

A few old men began to grab the portrait to see, and finally heard a "stab" sound.

Look again...... The portrait was torn in half.

The corners of Gongsun's mouth twitched.

The old men looked at Gongsun with trepidation.

Gongsun came back to his senses, saw the eyes of several old people, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Draw another one quickly." ”

Several old men breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun narrowly-really good, look at these martial arts supremes who are scared.

Gongsun was also a little embarrassed.

Master Wusha hurriedly took back all the drawing papers and put them together.

It's just that the great monk had just put together the drawings, and Tianzun suddenly, "Ah! "Yes.

Lu Tianhan and Yin Hou also stood up.

Xiao Changtian held his chin, "Oh, it turned out to be him." ”

"I'll just say it's familiar." Yin Hou also smiled.

Everyone looked at each other, did this mean that there was a clue?

Zhan Zhao dragged and waited, "You know him?" ”

"Hmm." Yin Hou nodded, and asked the others, "What's his name......

"I don't remember the specific name, it turns out that there is a little apprentice in Xiaoyaotan." Yin Hou said, "Then again, could his Shocking Wind Palm be learned from Zhou Yao?" ”

"Zhou Yao......" Tianzun squinted his eyes, and the expression, the word "disgust" was written on his face.

Bai Yutang sighed and asked Tianzun, "Who you offended again?" ”

Tianzun squinted at his apprentice, "It seems that the teacher is offending people all day long." ”

Bai Yutang looked at him with his expression—wasn't it?

Everyone also silently glanced at Tianzun - isn't it?

Tianzun's eyelid on the right side twitched slightly.

Bai Yutang was helpless, "You must have been a hedgehog in your last life!" ”

Tianzun looked at Bai Yutang for a while, and suddenly dragged him over and pinched his neck, "Little rabbit cub!" ”

Bai Yutang struggled for a long time, and later broke free under Zhanzhao's "rescue", touching his neck and coughing, Tianzun was quite ruthless.

Master Wusha helped to relieve the siege, "Zhou Yao's matter is not Tianzun's fault, although he is quite capable of provoking right and wrong......"

Before he finished speaking, Tianzun pinched the meat on Master Wusha's stomach, "Fatty! ”

Yin Hou also held his chin and sighed there, "It really seems that you are the one who causes trouble every time I was a child......"

Lu Tianhan drank tea and nodded, "Yutang is not easy, ......"

So, a few old men pinched again.

It's none of his business, anyway, he's not the hair of these people, holding a teacup and watching the excitement.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, not only these two people, but everyone felt that there had been a subtle change in the way several old men got along with each other. Originally, how to say it, everyone was cautious about Tianzun, and Yin Hou sometimes ridiculed two sentences. But now it seems that there are no such scruples, and it is much more natural to get along. Moreover, Master Wusha and Yin Hou, including Lu Tianhan, looked at them in a particularly good mood, and everyone also felt that the way this group of people got along when they were children should be that everyone "bullied" Tianzun together.

"Is Xiaoyao Lake a gathering place for scammers?" Zhan Zhao asked, "I heard Old Man Feng say that there used to be a place called Xiaoyaotan, where all the big liars gathered, and the most cunning people in the entire martial arts gathered in it, and they committed many, many crimes. Later, the lord of Xiaoyaotan returned to the imperial court, disbanded Xiaoyaotan, and the liars disappeared. ”

Yin Hou nodded, "That's pretty much it, the Lord of Xiaoyao Pond was originally Li Yu's cronies. As he spoke, he pointed to the portrait, "This kid was still very young back then, Xiaoyaotan was blown up, he may not have been able to avoid being injured, and several blood marks on his face rushed out at that time, not crying or screaming or saving people, standing and watching and still laughing." So I remember it very well. ”

Tianzun also nodded.

"That was a long time ago." Zhan Zhao asked, "Isn't he about the same age as you?" ”

"It should be." Yin Hou frowned, "Such a person is lurking in the palace...... What is the purpose? ”

"Does he have a grudge against you?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Does the fall of Xiaoyao Lake have anything to do with you?" ”

The old men looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Xiaoyaotan collapsed due to his own internal fighting, on the contrary, those who didn't die were rescued by the demon king, and they should be very grateful to the demon king."

"I seem to have seen him once or twice later," Tianzun suddenly poked Zhou Zanghai on the portrait, "Maybe there is nowhere to put him after he recovers, and he will do some miscellaneous work in the palace." The demon king lived in the palace for a while, and I saw him sweeping the ground. ”

"Really?" Yin Hou was obviously not impressed.

"Well, I've seen him twice, and then he's gone." Tianzun replied, "Hiding and hiding, the demon king seems to have given him food." ”

"Then why is he targeting you?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Several old men subconsciously looked at Tianzun, and Tianzun was angry, "They all said that it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Maybe it's just for the Ten Thousand Spells Palace?"

"No matter what his real name is, since his surname is Zhou now, his name is Zhou Zanghai, does it have anything to do with Zhou Yao back then?" Bai Yutang asked, "Hidden Sea...... The Ten Thousand Curses Palace is hidden in the sea, will it mean something? ”

Several old men shook their heads and said, I can't think of it! Not interested.

"In that case, let's just plan it." Zhao Pudao.

Bai Yutang nodded, and rushed to the fake Nine Dragons Roulette overnight. Zhan Zhao harassed Bai Yutang for a night, and when the sun rose the next morning, everyone came to the vicinity of the stable, and saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both walking out, Zhan Zhao was holding a plate in his hand, and there was a fake Nine Dragons Roulette in it.

Yin Hou and Tianzun both came to study it, and put forward a little more opinion, Bai Yutang repaired it, and finally, after a few old people nodded, the fake Nine Dragon Roulette was made.

Zhao Pu asked Ziying to find a very quaint ebony box, put the things up, and quietly handed them to Ge Qing.

Ge Qing and his soldiers were still patrolling the vicinity of the ruined Temple of the Four Seas, during which time he quietly threw the ebony box into the pit.

At noon, a large number of craftsmen came to the vicinity of the Four Seas Hall for repairs. Not long after, a craftsman dug up the ebony box, and he didn't dare to open it, crawled out, and handed it to the guards.

The guards reported to Nangong Ji, and after Nangong came to open it and took a look, he ordered someone to temporarily lock it in the silver vault in the palace.

……

That night, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang set up an ambush near the silver vault.

The first half of the night was peaceful, and the second half of the night was ...... In the dead of night, Zhanzhao heard some movement.

Bai Yutang, who was hiding behind the window of the cubicle of the small building with Zhanzhao, also heard an unusual wind, so the two stood in front of the window and watched.

In the distance, a lantern floated by, and slowly landed at the door of a warehouse in the silver vault where the Nine Dragons Roulette was kept.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "It turns out that you used the lantern to explore the way first?" The technique is very similar to the previous times when it was haunted. ”

Bai Yutang leaned against the crack of the window and watched, and saw that under the moonlight, there was a faint layer of silver on the ground that was slowly expanding, and finally climbed the steps at the door of the silver treasury.

Bai Yutang whispered to Zhan Zhao, "Extremely cold true qi. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Then the silver frost climbed up the steps of the storeroom, and then stopped at the iron lock that locked the door, and the frost covered the entire iron cable.

After a while, I saw a white figure flash in the moonlight...... Silently fell to the door of the storeroom.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning-what a high internal force!

In the moonlight, the man in white at the door reached out and pressed the lock of the storeroom.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang realized that the other party's internal strength was extremely high, so they also held their breath and stared, for fear of being discovered.

The other party used internal force on the door lock for a while, and then heard a soft "click".

The door lock snapped and fell to the ground.

At this time, the man in white looked back at the left and right, as if to confirm for the last time that there was no ambush around.

Zhan Zhao leaned over very cooperatively and reached out to cover Bai Yutang's mouth.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao smiled - make a sound!

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly—this cat is quite interesting.

At this time, the moon peeked out of the clouds for a few minutes, and the moonlight became brighter...... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang clearly saw the faces of the people at the door looking around, the scar on the bridge of the nose was indeed quite obvious, and the appearance was very similar to the portrait. Zhan Zhao recognized it at a glance, it was the low-key royal painter in the palace, Zhou Zanghai.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are experts, and at a glance it can be seen that this person is definitely a lot old, with deep internal strength, and he is an old demon-level figure. In addition, he seems to be very good at hiding his internal strength and breath, and the origin of his martial arts is unknown, and the details are unknown.

After making sure that there was no one around, Zhou Zanghai opened the door and stepped into the silver vault......

It's just that as soon as he looked up, he saw a table in the middle of the silver vault, and two people were making soothing soup, which was really Tianzun and Yin Hou.

Tianzun frowned, "How much ginseng did Gongsun Xiaowa put in it?" ”

Yin Hou also felt unpleasant, "bitter ......"

Zhou Zanghai was slightly stunned, turned around and ran.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang pushed open the window and looked out at the railing.

Zhou Zanghai turned around, but saw that Master Wusha and Lu Tianhan had blocked his way, and on the roof at the gate of the courtyard, Yao Changtian was sitting with his arms crossed, and said with a dry laugh, his tone was quite disappointed, "It's been a long time, so I just caught a little minion." ”

Zhao Pu walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a large number of guards, and Zhou Zanghai was surrounded by groups and had nowhere to escape.

Yin Hou walked out of the silver vault, holding the box containing the Nine Dragons Roulette in his hand, "You want this?" ”

Zhou Zanghai nodded and stretched out his hand.

Yin Hou was a little surprised, "So insistence? Do you want to go to the Ten Thousand Spells Palace? ”

Zhou Zanghai looked at Yin Hou for a while, and finally shifted his gaze to Tianzun, who was still sitting in the room, "I'm just going to do something you don't dare to do." ”

Yin Hou looked at him at Tianzun's expression, silently looked back at Tianzun who was holding a soup bowl and tilted his head, and others also looked at it, the meaning was obvious - it was really your enemy?

Tianzun was very troubled when he held his chin, and he couldn't think of when he sinned against this person.

Finally, Tianzun put down the bowl and asked, "Would you like to help me recall?" ”

Zhou Zanghai stared at Tianzun and nodded, "Yes, unless you win against me." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Tianzun blinked.

Zhan Zhao also plucked out his ears and asked Bai Yutang, "What did he say?" ”

Bai Yutang smiled, "It seems to mean that you want to go head-to-head with my master." ”

A smile appeared on Zhou Zanghai's face, and he said to Tianzun, "I only have two wishes in my life, go to the Ten Thousand Spell Palace, or kill you with my own hands, you can achieve whichever of the two is achieved." ”

Yin Hou frowned and looked back at Tianzun - it was definitely a big hatred, you really don't remember?

Tianzun sat still, not knowing whether he remembered something or was just wandering, and muttered to himself, "It's a little interesting......

Yin Hou, Lu Tianhan and Master Wusha all walked aside, Lu Tianhan waved his hand lightly at Zhao Pu, signaled to him, and asked the guards to retreat, these two people are not the same tricks, don't hurt the innocent.

Zhao Pu waved his hand to the guards, and he went up to one side of the roof to watch the excitement.

……

"It's the first time I've seen someone call Ban Tianzun." Zhan Zhao suddenly said to Bai Yutang, "Speaking of which, except for fighting with my grandfather, I really haven't seen Tianzun really fight with others. ”

Bai Yutang said, "To be honest, I haven't seen much of it, I was the one who was beaten before." ”

"Imp ......"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao raised their faces together, and saw Xiao Changtian sitting on the roof above them at some point, calling them.

Xiao Changtian fell to the two of them, leaned against the railing, and asked Bai Yutang, "You've only been with him for more than 20 years, right?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, and said in his heart that the master was in his twenties, of course, he had only followed him for more than twenty years.

"Oh......" Yao Changtian looked at Bai Yutang with his chin very interested, "It turns out that you haven't seen his kung fu." ”

Bai Yutang frowned.

Zhan Zhao was also puzzled - Yutang hadn't seen it, so who had seen it?

"You two are too young, Tianzun and Yin Hou probably haven't touched any decent opponents in the past twenty years." Yao Changtian looked at Zhou Zanghai below, "This kid is indeed a little interesting." ”

Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao watched the long sky.

Yao Changtian showed a helpless look on his face, "But with Zhou Zanghai's level of internal strength, he is really just a little minion in front of Tianzun."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were surprised.

Xiao Changtian smiled evilly, "You two are still far away, just like Zhao Pu, half a bucket of water is not full." ”

The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched, and Zhao Pu in the distance suddenly sneezed.

"It's a rare opportunity, don't blink."

Xiao Changtian opened his mouth faintly and reminded the two, "Feel what kind of storage the Silver Demon King puts on the tip of his heart." ”
