On February 4, 2051 in the Blue Xinjiang calendar, the Imperial Palace of the Blue Moon Empire.

The queen kept walking back and forth in the imperial study, looking quite dissatisfied, while Rick, who was standing respectfully on the other side, lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

After a long while, the queen said: "You told me what is good for you, the things assigned to you have not been done, but you have the spare time to go to the Mirror Flower Pavilion to mess around." ”

Rick said to himself: Your eyes and ears are really well-informed. But of course he didn't dare to say it, he just argued in a low voice: "Weichen has no choice but to go to the Mirror Flower Pavilion. ”

"As a last resort, I see you're glad to do it."

"Your Majesty misunderstood me. I went to Jinghua Pavilion to investigate the case, and I already have some clues. Rick was in a hurry, and even lost the title of "minister", and directly stated it as "I".

"What clues?"

Seeing that the queen's anger subsided slightly, Rick secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I met a man in white in the Mirror Flower Pavilion, who has very high martial arts, he claims to be from the Xueyi Gate, and he is named to kill Weichen. Judging from his actions against Weichen, it is likely to be involved in a series of recent events. And Weichen is so blatant, he can be sure that there must be a very tough backstage behind him. ”

"You caught him?"

"No, he was wounded and fled."

"Is he that tall? Aren't your men capable? The queen asked sternly in succession.

Rick had no choice but to say helplessly: "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed possible for Weichen's men to capture him, but Weichen is unwilling to take risks, and he does not dare to take risks." ”

"Bold." The queen shouted, "You dare to disobey what I have entrusted you with?!" ”

"The minister did not dare to disobey." Rick bowed calmly, "But the minister is afraid of arresting him, and he is even more afraid that this case will be investigated endlessly, because the minister is small, has no power, and lacks enough strength." But if His Majesty must investigate thoroughly to the end, the minister is willing to take a possible risk. ”

Listen to his words. The queen's face changed slightly, and then she waved her hand slightly and said: "I will think about this matter clearly, no matter what, the people of Xueyimen must not let it go, and when you come back from Dakai, I will think of a proper countermeasure." ”

"Your Majesty sent a minister to Dakai?" Rick asked in surprise.

"Yes. I asked you to do something, and it was done. I will grant you the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard. ”

Rick doesn't have much idea of how much power the palace guard has and is not very happy, but he is curious about the queen sending him to Dakai. What is it that needs to be specially sent to a town like Dakai, a "heavy minister"? Rick was at a loss.

"There's a top-secret document here, which you won't be allowed to open until you get to Kai, and it contains what you have to do. It is estimated that it will take you three days to perform this task, and after three days. You will have to stay in Dakai until the envoys of the Tabuziqi Empire and the Qin Department reach Dakai, and then you will escort them all the way back to Bo Yingte, and I will send a thousand troops of the Queen's Legion to assist you, and you will be out tomorrow. In addition, Commander Tang also went with you, Dakai has all kinds of medicinal herbs and many pharmacists. If, under such good conditions, you still can't cure Commander Tang's illness, I--"

Before the queen's "threat" could be exported, Rick had already nodded his head like a kowtow worm and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely be able to handle it." ”

The queen nodded, and was about to wave him down. Rick suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has one thing that needs to be clarified. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Yesterday, two suspicious carriages appeared outside the fence in the backyard of the minister's mansion. After checking it, it was revealed that it was full of special short spears for cavalry, and these cavalry spears were engraved with a pattern similar to a small magic array, which was said to be called the 'Wind and Thunder Seal', which can increase strength and true power in battle. ”

The queen's face changed slightly, and she said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Are those riding spears in your house now? ”

Rick nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"And what do you think you should do with those riding guns?"

This time it was Rick's turn, and his face changed. He was greedy for merit for a while and said what he just said, but he didn't expect the result to be more than worth the loss, it seems that those riding guns have to be handed over to the public. Rick secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen thinks it's better to seal the evidence for the time being." ”

The queen saw Rick's pained expression, and a smile flashed in her eyes. "I don't think that's necessary. Since you have repaid your merits, I will reward them to you, do you say yes? ”

How can this be bad? Rick cheered loudly in his heart, and said again and again: "Good, good, of course." 陛xià wise. ”

The queen said in her heart: What does it have to do with my wisdom or not?! However, now that the words had been spoken, the queen could not take them back, so she waved her hand to make Rick stand down.

After Rick retreated, Concubine Ji Xue walked out of the secret door in the imperial study. The queen asked, "What do you think?" ”

Concubine Ji Xue said with a solemn face: "The special riding spear engraved with the wind and thunder mark is called the magic riding spear, and there is only one place in Lanjiang that produces this kind of weapon, and that is the Huaiyu family of the Shuka Kingdom. This news is so important to us, he inadvertently inserted willows this time and picked up a big bargain. ”

"Look, who's going to give him this big bargain?"

"Then you'll have to ask the person who intercepted the Demon Cavalry Spear."

"You mean, the Demon Riding Spear has already changed hands once?"

"Exactly." Concubine Ji Xue said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken, the original owner of the Demon Riding Spear is probably the Prime Minister. According to some information, he had been in contact with people from the Huaiyu family disguised as merchants, and had always been close to them. Although the Demon Riding Spear is not a rare weapon, the Huaiyu family has always rarely produced it on a large scale, so only the Prime Minister who has a deep friendship with them may obtain a large number of Demon Riding Spears. As for the person who intercepted the demon lance, it is difficult to judge, because there are too many possibilities. ”

After hearing these words, the queen agreed, and then said: "In this way, war in the north is probably inevitable, and the motives of the four countries to create civil strife in the imperial capital are already obvious. ”

"It seems so." Concubine Ji Xue sighed.

Leaving the palace, the carriage travels south along Queen's Road. As he approached the entrance to the street where the Duke's Palace was located, he suddenly saw a horse-drawn carriage running out of the street and heading south on Queen's Road. The carriage has a pale blue flower carved into its body - it is Rick's masterpiece. This is the carriage in his own house, it must be true, Rick also vaguely saw that the car was sitting in the peach blossom red.

She never goes out. Rick was secretly suspicious, so he ordered the coachman to follow the peachy carriage.

After a while, the carriage turned into a street and made its way through the dense cobweb-like laneways, and Rick looked at the scenery along the way, feeling more and more familiar.

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped in an alley, and on one side of the alley was the façade of a large mansion, and a small door had opened in the corner—but it looked very peeling. Peach Blossom got out of the carriage with a food box, walked to the small door, pushed it open, and then walked in.

Rick saw this qiē in his eyes, and his curiosity couldn't help but flourish. At the same time, he wondered why his surroundings seemed so familiar. He also got out of the carriage and let the Nymph God who was responsible for guarding him guard outside, leaving Leng Ying alone to follow him, and the two quietly followed Peach Blossom into the mansion.

What you see when you enter the door is what you see is a single courtyard in the mansion, and there is a pond near the wall, but now it is overgrown with weeds and the water is dirty. However, the delicate stone arch bridge over the pond seems to have withstood the baptism of wind and frost, and still shows its beauty.

Peach Blossom carried the food box, walked up to the arched bridge in broken steps, and then walked straight out of the courtyard. Out of the courtyard, there is a small garden, and there is a corridor through the garden that connects with the exit of the courtyard. Peach Blossom didn't go any further, stopping in front of a rockery in a small garden. Then he took out the wine and food in the food box, lit incense and candles, and began to worship. After worshipping for a while, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Rick and Leng Ying, who were following her, saw this qiē in their eyes, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder what the relationship between Peach Blossom Red and this abandoned mansion was. Before they could show up to ask, the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind suddenly sounded in the courtyard next to the garden, and a moment later, two old men wearing green coats and fierce faces fell on the wall diagonally opposite. One of the old men's electric eyes fell directly on Peach Blossom's body, and he smiled and said, "Girl, we are very fateful!" Sixteen years ago, I let you escape with your life, and today I see where you can escape. ”

Peach Blossom's face changed slightly, and she said, "You recognize the wrong person." ”

"We won't admit it." Another old man said ruthlessly, "You are the only girl in the Tao family who escaped sixteen years ago, I heard that your nickname is Hong'er." ”

Peach Blossom's face changed again, and said; "I'm not the one you're looking for, I'm leaving."

"Are you okay?" The two old men shook their bodies, and they had already swept over and blocked in front of Peach Blossom. The old man who spoke first said: "You don't have to deny it, since the Tao family is dead, it is impossible for anyone to come to this abandoned mansion." But you came, and you knew that today was the day of the Tao family's sacrifice, so you came to worship. We've seen what you just did. Now, we want to do something that has been choking on our hearts for sixteen years, you go down to the underworld to accompany your dead ghost father who has been lonely for a long time! Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were full of fierceness, and his hand was raised.

At this moment, someone suddenly stomped his feet next to him and said, "I remembered, yes, this is the abandoned house of the Tao family, I came here once." "It's none other than Rick. At this moment, he walked out in a big way, ignoring the surprised and stunned expressions of the two old men, walked to Taohuahong's side, and reproached as he walked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, you turned out to be the owner of this mansion." I should have found someone to fix it, this house is so beautiful, I can't let the rats croak here. ”
