Spring is beginning to appear, the snow is melting and the ice is gone, it is already March, and the branches in the courtyard of the Datang Post House have opened new shoots, and new branches have been drawn, and a breath of spring has arrived.

Many aliens dressed in different costumes came and went in and out of the inn.

They came to the court a year ago, because of the brave contest and the big military parade, it had been delayed for two whole months.

Now that everything is settled, almost all of them have chosen to leave.

The same is true of the envoys of the state of Zhangxiong.

Their country is far away in the depths of the Tibetan Plateau, far away, and it will take at least a few months to travel for a trip, and it will take almost the beginning of September to leave and return to their homeland. They came out in July, and returned at the beginning of September of the following year, a year and two months before and after, which is quite a long time.

Outside the courtyard, the prime minister of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, Sasandi, was preparing to leave, but in the house, Princess Yaochi was holding a jade pendant carved with the word Du in her hand, and looked at it stupidly: This is Du He's thing, that Du He saved her, her clothes were wet, and she carried the jade pendant with her, and put it aside, but she forgot to take it back afterwards, so she secretly put it away and made a memorial.

"Princess, things are packed, we can go!" Sasandi walked in, and when she saw Princess Yaochi getting thinner, she could only sigh secretly. Princess Yaochi's thoughts, he more or less knows: that Duhe is indeed a great hero, Wen Taowu is strategic, proficient in everything, and extraordinary, not to mention in their remote and small country, even the towering Tang Dynasty can't find a few that can be compared. It's not surprising that Princess Yaochi fell in love with him.

With his ability, he can match Princess Yaochi, and he can make him a rich Xiangxiong and become an Xiangxiong concubine, which is also beneficial and harmless for Xiangxiong Kingdom, but he thinks that he is the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, how can Princess Yaochi fight and rob?

Seeing that Princess Yaochi didn't hear it, Sasandi repeated: "Princess, we can go!" ”

Princess Yaochi was shocked in her heart, hid the jade pendant, and said in a daze: "You're leaving?" ”

Sasandi said, "Well, it's been four months since I came out, and the matter is done, it's time to go home." ”

"Home!" Princess Yaochi thought of Tianshan, remembered Yaochi, remembered her father King Xiangxiong, and thought of Duhe, her heart was full of nostalgia and reluctance, seeing Sasandi's worried face, she smiled and said: "Well, go back, anyway, I also want to see Daddy, so let's go home!" ”

She got up and walked out of the room.

Sasandi followed out of the room, and saw Princess Yaochi with a tense face and was about to get on the horse, and she couldn't bear it in her heart. He has served as the prime minister of Xiangxiong for more than 20 years, and he has almost watched Princess Yaochi grow up, and he has long regarded her as a daughter in his heart, and he can't bear her to be tortured by this, reminding: "At this time, it may be rare to see each other for life, princess...... Not going to see him for the last time? ”

Princess Yaochi shook and laughed miserably: "What is the difference between seeing and not seeing?" It's just a matter of sadness...... It's still gone! She didn't notice that her voice was shaking.

Sasandi didn't speak, just acquiesced to what she did.

The group came out of the south gate of Chang'an and came to the place where they first met Du He, looking at the familiar scene, their eyes were confused, as if they saw the familiar figure in the clearing between the trees and a group of people: he was as light as a swallow, and he was at ease under the siege of ten people, and he was chic and calm. So the tide of thoughts was out of control, remembering his confidence in defeating Song Tsang Xiruo with one move, remembering his heroic posture of fighting the tiger for himself in the water, and remembering the stunt he showed when he inserted fish for himself.

Princess Yaochi exclaimed, her legs grabbed the horse's belly, the horse flew like a fly, and went straight to Chang'an without looking back, with only one thought in her mind: I want to see him!

The group whispered, but Sasandi smiled slightly: "The princess has something to do temporarily, and we will wait on the side of the road." ”

The coiled dragon sword shone with dazzling brilliance in the sun, and the sword was overflowing with cold light, like a white line in the sky shooting straight at the Taoist priest.

A trace of shock flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes, and he subconsciously raised his head back, looking stupid, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and a yellow liquid flowed out from his crotch.

When Du He saw him like this, a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he said: "Daoist, remember that you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense!" Without looking back, he walked to the door.

Duhe knocked on the door and walked into the mansion.

At the moment when the subordinate closed the door of the mansion, Du He's body looked like electricity, and he clicked twice on the wall, raised his body, held the eaves with both hands, and slowly poked his head out.

The Taoist priest was still sitting on the ground, but his eyes revealed a hint of cold light. Suddenly, he moved his gaze upwards and glared in the direction of Du He, and saw that there was no one above the eaves, and his eyes flashed with a strange color.

Du He shrank his head, his heart also increased the beating rate, and he thought in surprise: "What a keen and intuitive ......" His heart was even more heavy, and when he probed again, the Taoist priest was no more.

Du He jumped down, and the subordinate next to him who opened the door for him seemed to be stunned.

When Du He pulled up the eaves, the subordinate just closed the door and had not yet turned around, so he did not see when Du He climbed the eaves, but when he turned around, Du He was already hanging on the wall.

Du He smiled and woke up the next person and walked forward, but his expression became serious.

Anyone who knew Du He said that he was a genius, whether in the Tang Dynasty or in the 21st century, those who knew him well said that he should be a detective, that he could be as magical as Sherlock Holmes, not as a small history teacher.

Because he has a very sensitive intuition, his natural insight and ability to organize things are extremely amazing, and he is often able to see through the essence of things.

Take the current things as an example, recently Pei Mansion is haunted, Du He felt strange and funny when he heard it, and he didn't care, the ancients were superstitious about ghosts and gods, maybe they were dazzled or maybe some abnormal phenomena caused by animals, which can make people think that there are ghosts.

But now he heard Zhang's say that the people of Pei's Mansion sold their houses and moved to avoid ghosts, so he faintly felt that something was wrong. If you are dazzled or see abnormal phenomena, according to the concept of the ancients, you should ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts and ask a monk to do it, how can you move away in a hurry?

The only explanation is only one point, that is, the owner of the house often sees ghosts, and it is useless to ask Taoist priests and monks, so he is forced to sell the house and escape. The crux of the problem is here, there are no ghosts in the world, a person can't be dazzled every day, and animals are even more unlikely to create some abnormal phenomena every day, the only explanation is that some people are doing strange things, some people are pretending to be ghosts.

So Du He jokingly asked Zhang if she was secretly doing it. He believed that his mother was not such a person, but there was no other explanation.

Zhang's answer made Du He even more strange, but he didn't care, maybe the troublemaker was aimed at the Pei family.

But before coming to Pei's mansion, he unexpectedly met a suspicious Taoist priest.

As soon as the Taoist priest opened his mouth, he said that he was the Dongfang Tree after Dongfang Shuo, and used the ancients to raise his value, and then said that he was the best at the Five Elements Kanyu Technique, and said that your mansion is located on the cave of the Nine Shadows, and it is a place of great evil.

If the ancients could have said this, it would have been whimsical to want Monduho, a 21st-century man who does not believe in ghosts.

What makes him even more concerned is that there is only one reason why such Taoist priests exaggerate the truth - to cheat money, and want to earn a share through the hearts of superstitious and ignorant believers who spend money to eliminate disasters. Such people are superstitious in ancient times, not to mention superstition, and exist even in the twenty-first century.

However, the Taoist priest did not turn the topic to money, but said that this was a murderous house and could not be inhabited, which clearly meant that he did not want him to live in this house.

It was so abnormal that Duhe immediately became suspicious, and his brain reassembled everything in an instant.

Zhang's buying a house, someone in the Pei family making a haunt, the Pei family selling the house, the Zhang family buying the Pei family's house, and finally persuading himself not to live in the Pei's house, linked these unimportant things together, but they converged into a crucial message: someone hit the idea of the Pei family's house again, and they also used improper and radical means.

At that time, Du He felt strange, it was a house, if he really had this money, where could he not buy it, he had to buy the former residence of the Pei family? What's even more ridiculous is that he also used the lowly means of pretending to be a ghost.

"Could it be because there is something wrong with this Pei Mansion?" Du He felt strange, very strange, and couldn't help but extend such thoughts, but the situation at that time did not allow him to think much about it.

So I plan to give it a try and take a risk.

Try to see if the Taoist priest is a person, or if he really came to cheat money.

If it is a person, then it directly proves that Du He's guess is correct, and this Pei Mansion has an ulterior secret. On the contrary, he was naturally suspicious.

The Taoist priest scared him out of the urine with a sword, and the performance was seamless.

But it still made Du He see the abnormality, not the poor acting skills of the Taoist priest, but a person's instinctive reaction. At the moment when he drew his sword, the Taoist priest instinctively dodged the reaction. Although the Taoist priest saw through his intention to scare and forcibly stopped his move, Du He still noticed it.

There is a substantial difference between the reaction of a martial arts master and an ordinary person, and the reaction that occurs at the moment when Du He draws his sword indicates that the Taoist priest is very likely to have a unique skill. A person with a unique skill could not let his tentative sword scare his pants.

However, there are not a few exceptions, some people are talented, even if they don't practice martial arts, their instinctive reactions can be different from ordinary people. Although it is possible for the Taoist priest to pretend to be garlic, Du He is still not sure.

So he climbed onto the roof as soon as he left the Taoist priest's sight, wanting to see the Taoist priest's expression.

Those who can act again, once the main protagonist disappears, will reveal their truest thoughts.

As he thought, the Taoist priest's expression changed, he was not simple, and this Pei Mansion was not simple.

Du He suddenly had a feeling that because of Pei Fu, he had entered the edge of a whirlpool that was difficult to get rid of.

At this moment, Du He unexpectedly got the news that Princess Yaochi asked to see!
