The subordinates in the Dongfang Rou Palace were dispersed early, and even Ah Zhi did not stay. In the hall, only Dongfang Yan and Dongfang Zhao brothers and sisters remained, as well as Concubine Qin.

"Yan'er, can you be sure that this is a letter from the Lord of Mingyue?" Concubine Qin threw the note into the incense burner and burned it, and asked solemnly.

It's not that she doesn't believe in her daughter, but it's a big deal, and she has to be cautious.

Facing the doubts in the eyes of his mother and brother, Dongfang Yan nodded without hesitation.

"Mother, I can confirm that this is a letter written by Mingyue."

Concubine Qin sat quietly, Dongfang Zhao did not speak, and the hall was silent for a while, and the silence was terrifying.

Dongfang Yan clenched the handkerchief in his hand, hesitated again and again, and still said: "If the mother concubine is not at ease, it is better for the daughter to go and investigate first." The little eunuch who sent the message said that Mingyue would be waiting for me at a teahouse in Kyoto early the next morning, and it would be clear at a glance whether it was true or not. ”

When Concubine Qin heard this, she bowed slightly.

That's a good idea.

"I'll send someone to take care of the little eunuch in a while, and as for tomorrow's meeting, you let Zhao'er go with you."

Then the three of them discussed some details, and then left and returned to their respective palaces.

"Prince, what do you think about this treasure site?" Dongfang Hao squinted and looked at Dongfang Chen, who was sitting opposite him.

Dongfang Chen turned a blind eye to the greed in the eyes of his father.

As early as when someone brought this news to his father's ears, he knew that his father would never give up looking for this so-called treasure. Even if it costs a lot of manpower and material resources in the end, it is still a flash in the pan.

"The news of this treasure is strange, and you can't believe it all."

Dongfang Hao did not respond immediately, but looked at Dongfang Chen deeply.

He didn't reveal the location of this treasure except for one or two cronies, and even his two sons didn't know the specific location of the treasure.

However, a few days ago, he received news from his subordinates, saying that Dongfang Chen had dispatched a lot of Donggong guards to the Panshan area, and he also surrounded the area and strictly investigated it.

And the location of that treasure happened to be near Panshan.

Dongfang Chen didn't notice Dongfang Hao's gaze, his heart was cold, but his face was still pure and gentle.

After a while, I heard Dongfang Hao ask, "Then according to what the prince said, what should I do?"

Dongfang Chen hurriedly continued: "Erchen thinks that my father needs to wait for a while longer, and wait for the news of this treasure to be true before acting."

Dongfang Hao's gaze at Dongfang Chen contained deep meaning, and he didn't ask him again.

"The prince should go back first, and let me think about it again."

Although he didn't understand why his father suddenly looked at him with strange eyes, Dongfang Chen still retreated according to his words and deeds

"Go to Prime Minister Xuan and enter the palace to see me."

Soon after Dongfang Chen left, Dongfang Hao recruited a small chamberlain and asked him to go to Xuanzhang Prime Minister to enter the palace.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has known Dongfang Hao since childhood and is one of Dongfang Hao's cronies. And about this treasure, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is also one of the insiders.

Prime Minister Zhang was resting in the room at this time, and when he heard that His Majesty had summoned him, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and followed the chamberlain into the palace.

When he sat in the carriage and drove to the palace, Prime Minister Zhang couldn't stop wondering if the reason why His Majesty announced that he entered the palace was related to the treasure.

As it turned out, Zhang Chengxiang's guess was correct.

As soon as he finished saluting Dongfang Hao, he heard Dongfang Hao talk to him about the conversation between Fang Cai and the prince, and at the end, he sighed unclearly: "You say, what does the prince want?"

Zhang Cheng lowered his head in an instant relative to Dongfang Hao's deep gaze.

The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and sometimes even if he knows what he thinks, he can't say it clearly, even if he is a friend of the emperor for many years.

"What Your Majesty is worried about is exactly what Weichen is worried about, but on the prince's side, Your Majesty might as well send more people to investigate clearly. As for Panshan, with all due respect, Weichen bluntly said, which of these Ming Qi's inches of land is not His Majesty's. ”

As he spoke, Prime Minister Zhang got up from his seat and bowed to Dongfang Hao.

"Weichen thought that His Majesty could order someone to take over the guards sent by the prince. After all, every soldier in this world belongs to His Majesty, and His Majesty is not at fault for doing so. ”

Dongfang Hao looked at Zhang Chengxiang, who lowered his eyebrows, stroked his palms and laughed, "It is worthy of Zhang Aiqing, in a word!"

As Dongfang Hao grew older, he became more enthusiastic about the power in his hands.

And the crown prince is the age of a weak crown, which is a good age. Therefore, Dongfang Hao's suspicion of Dongfang Chen has only increased.

Zhang Chengxiang has been with Dongfang Hao for many years, how can he not know what he thinks in his heart. It's just a euphemism to point it out, and by the way, he also praised Dongfang Hao, which made him happy.

Winding mountains

Hua Jinse then coerced and coerced the five people to take her and Eleven to the foot of the mountain.

"Jinse......" Eleven looked at Hua Jinse, who was changing his appearance, and stopped talking, "Do you really want to go in?"

Hua Jinse turned over the unconscious man lying on the ground and pulled the token hanging on his body down.

"Nature."

Eleven's expression was a little complicated.

After they threatened the five men and led them to avoid the search of the officers and soldiers to the foot of the mountain, they took the five men to a hidden place and knocked them unconscious. Then he changed out of their coats, changed their appearances, and prepared to blend in.

"What's wrong?" Feeling the fiery gaze from Eleven, Hua Jinse's hand moved, and turned his head to look at Eleven.

Eleven stiffened his face and shook his head, "It's okay." ”

He just saw that Jin Se went from coaxing people here, to knocking people unconscious, and changing into their outfits, this series of movements was as smooth as flowing water, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Seeing that Eleven refused to say it explicitly, Hua Jinse didn't care about it anymore, and quickly finished his disguise, and then put on the token. With Eleven, the two swaggered out of their hiding places.

"Stop, where are you from?" The two men didn't walk for a while before they were stopped by a patrol of halberd-wielding guards.

Eleven is a piece of wood, and Hua Jinse doesn't expect him to explain.

Untied the token tied around the waist of the two of them and handed it over, "We are from the government, and we came here to take a look on the orders of our superiors." ”

A few of the patrolling guards stared at them suspiciously for a few moments, until they couldn't see any clues.

Eleven and Hua Jinse are two human-shaped ice cubes, and Mount Tai collapses in front of them without changing their colors.

Those guards really couldn't find any emotion on the faces of the two people.

In this way, Hua Jinse and Eleven deceived several teams of patrolling guards one after another, until they reached the entrance at the foot of Panshan Mountain.

It was heavily guarded, and even if they were ordered to go in to see it, the guards at the entrance would not let them go.

But this is not difficult for our smart and witty Hua Jinse children. ,

She dragged Eleven behind a boulder, and the two of them hid behind it in stealth. With the help of the towering terrain, the distribution of those people can be seen clearly.

Since they can't outwit them, they can only break through.

Eleven saw Hua Jinse take the flute that had been pinned to his waist.

This is preparing to break in by force.

Eleven's eyes were brewing with fierce battle intent, and he also pulled out the matching sword at his waist and began to wipe it.

As winter approaches, the days are short and the nights are long. In addition, Eleven and Hua Jinse only started to rush in the afternoon, and it was already dusk when they arrived at Panshan.

Hua Jinse raised his head and stared at the dim sky, and did not immediately choose to make a move now. Instead, he waited until late at night under the cover of a boulder.

In the middle of the night, the stars dotted over the dark night.

With the chirping of insects and frogs, the guards in iron armor in the distance began to yawn one by one.

Eleven silently poked his head out from behind the boulder and cast a glance into the distance. The blade of the knife in his hand reflected an icy cold glow in the moonlight.

"Well, listen, is there any sound?" One of the guards poked a few sleepy companions around him and whispered.

One of the guards was sleepy, and he poked him so suddenly, and he woke up in an instant.

"It's like a flute." The guard listened.

Only a hollow and distant flute sound was heard, accompanied by the night breeze, and sent into their minds.

The guards stared in confusion as they looked towards the source of the flute.

But I saw the shadows of the trees, but no human figures.

"This ......," the guard opened his lips to say something, but suddenly felt very sleepy, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The rest of the people also noticed that something was wrong, but they couldn't stand the sound of the flute that made people sleep, and they couldn't support their bodies and fell to the ground.

Hearing the dull sound of the weapon falling to the ground, Hua Jinse knew that he had become.

The two men came out from behind the boulder, took the armor and waist badges from the guards as usual, and replaced the old ones.

A few people at this entrance are down, but there are still layers of guards inside, and none of them is less than the one at the entrance. And more importantly, there is no place to hide in the next few places. That means what they just did didn't work.

By the time Xiao Yu and his party arrived here, there were already people lying on the ground.

Changning cautiously squatted down and examined those people, only to find that they were all asleep and did not have any substantial harm.

After Changning finished the inspection, his eyes began to become subtle.

Is Miss Jinse so powerful, it is eleven or two people who have put down so many people.

Different from Changning's thoughts, Xiao Yu felt a little uneasy in his heart when he saw the people in this place.

According to Dongfang Chen's temperament, the guards here will definitely not be so lax...... Jin'er, they won't be so easy to break.

"Changning!" Xiao Yu shouted.

Chang Ning stood up straight and looked at Xiao Yu.

"You take two people to stay outside, and when Lianfeng arrives, let them go to the valley on the west side and wait for us. Incidentally...... Let them keep an eye out for movement on the periphery. ”
