Xu Yongzhi, Chen Xiaohuan, Duan Zishou and Ah Crisp are at home, grilling lamb skewers around the stove.

In fact, there are still a bunch of semi-finished products in the kitchen, but Meimei is not at home, and the kitchen aunt has come home for the New Year, and these people have no heart to do it.

Eating barbecue is basically one thing that everyone can recognize.

When the grease dripped on the charcoal fire, it would make a squeaking sound, which made Duan Zishou very happy.

"Brother-in-law, why did my sister go to accompany the old lady?" Duan Zishou asked Xu Yongzhi.

"The old queen mother likes her and says that she feels like she is a daughter, so she has to take her to eat together on the second day of the first lunar month." Xu Yongzhi explained listlessly.

"Then why did the little noble sister go too?" Duan Zishou asked again.

"How do I know, it is said that the old lady decided to treat everyone equally, and both of them are my daughters-in-law, so both of them are her daughters." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Isn't Mercy very good at cooking? Why don't you see her? Chen Xiaohuan asked.

"Maybe I'm going back to my parents' house." Duan Zishou said.

"What kind of family does she have?" Ah Crisp said, "She was rescued by Sister Meimei from Yuzhou, and there was no one at home, so she came to Tokyo City." ”

"Then it might be a lover." Duan Zishou said.

"What do children know!" Crisp said.

"What does the red panda know!" Duan Zishou retorted.

"Senior brother, why can't I buy beef now?" Chen Xiaohuan asked Xu Yongzhi.

"Hey, this is Lord Zhao Pu's suggestion, saying that now we are rewarding farming, cattle are friends of human beings, tools used in production, protect cattle, and cannot be slaughtered casually...... If you want to eat beef, you can only wait until the cow dies of old age or accident. Xu Yongzhi said.

"I think it's a lot like a big truth, not quite like it." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"Well, in fact, because the Queen Mother is a cow, she is not allowed to kill cattle casually." Xu Yongzhi said.

"So the Queen Mother speaks, it's still very counting." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"Of course it counts, the official family is a filial son, and he cares most about the feelings of the Queen Mother." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But the Queen Mother doesn't seem to care about her eldest son at all." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"He went out when he was young, and the second child has actually been by the Queen Mother's side......" Xu Yongzhi said.

"It's not a matter of intimacy, it's that she doesn't respect the son who is best for her, but she likes the guy who talks sweetly and calculates all sorts of things." Chen Xiaohuan said.

Chen Xiaohuan is getting more and more accurate in seeing things, and those who have suffered Li Lianqiao's losses may have a leap in IQ.

Xu Yongzhi thought about it, and suddenly heard the door outside being smashed.

"Lord Xu! Lord Xu! ”

From ancient times to the present, knocking on the door has not been so hard.

This is only done when reporting a funeral.

Listening to the voice, it is an internal official, but it is not Zhang Dejun.

Xu Yongzhi hurriedly threw down the stove and rushed to the yard to open the door.

This internal official's name is Qian Xiaoliu, Zhang Dejun's apprentice, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a panicked face.

"Calm, Little Six." Xu Yongzhi said.

"My lord, the Queen Mother...... She ......"

"Whisper." Xu Yongzhi let Xiao Liu in and looked left and right outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

"The Queen Mother is in a coma, and the official family urgently summons you to the palace." Xiaoliu said.

"Calm down, you wait for me outside the door, and I'll prepare the horse." Xu Yongzhi said.

The more this collapsed, hectic situation is, the more someone has to be quiet.

Xu Yongzhi entered the house: "Ah Shou, the meat is handed over to you and Ah Crispy, two people eat four servings, take care of the family." Xiao Fan, you take the medicine box and follow me into the palace. ”

Xu Yongzhi took the long sword, and his face was solemn, Chen Xiaohuan knew that something big was going to happen.

When riding a horse on the road, Xu Yongzhi simply asked Xiaoliu about the process before and after, and found that he didn't know the essentials, so it was better to ask Xiaogui or Meimei in the past.

As soon as Xu Yongzhi entered the courtyard of the Queen Mother, he was greeted by Zhao Kuangyin and hugged him.

"Help her!" Such a big hero had tears on his face, "Don't let us be without a mother!" ”

Xu Yongzhi nodded and didn't say much.

Several doctors were still arguing in the porch, some thought it was thirst-quenching, some thought it was vertigo, some thought it was head wind, and the fourth thought that vomiting was a gastrointestinal problem.

Xu Yongzhi ignored them and went straight to Xiaogui.

"What poison?"

Come up and ask Poison, are you a genius.

"How do you know it's poison?"

"Meimei has taken good care of the old lady, why did she suddenly fall into a coma if she wasn't poisoned?"

"This grass cassia tea is said to be a recipe given by Mrs. Fu." Xiaogui handed the teacup to Xu Yongzhi.

"Well, grass cassia flowers, chrysanthemums, fat seas, goji berries, huh? What is it? Xu Yongzhi said.

"I don't make it." Xiaogui said.

"It's like aristolochia grind was added, but although this thing is poisonous, it's not that powerful." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Let me smell it." Chen Xiaohuan said.

Xu Yongzhi gave it to her.

"Mandala."

"Huh?"

"Yes, it's hers." Chen Xiaohuan said.

St. John's wort was able to use mandala to bring out the potential of many common medicines.

"This should be the drug she has always wanted to make." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"What is a pull-in drug?" Duan Meimei handed over the Queen Mother to the palace maid beside her, and walked over to ask.

"When the poison is issued, the person will struggle like a puppet pulling the string, and in the rage and rage, he will bleed to death." Chen Xiaohuan whispered.

"Xiao Huan, you come to check if there are any inhuman traces around here, I suspect that the person who took the medicine arranged by Li Lianqiao is not from the palace." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes." Xiao Phantom nodded to check on the left near.

"It must be Zhao Er." Duan Meimei said.

"How can I use my nose to guarantee that the person who murdered the old queen mother is the king of Jin? Killing the Queen Mother, what good is Zhao Er? Xu Yongzhi said.

"You and the official family are also brothers, maybe he believes in you more." Xiaogui said.

"I can't help it, so I have to try first." Xu Yongzhi said.

Xu Yongzhi walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side.

"How?"

"These flavors can be decocted quickly, which can alleviate the toxicity." Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly arranged it.

"Guanjia, do you believe in King Jin?"

"Yongzhi, what do you mean?"

"The poison in this teacup can only be made by a wizard, and the only wizard I know who uses poison in such a style is Li Forsythia." Xu Yongzhi said.

"It's Forsythia again!" Zhao Kuangyin clapped his palms.

"Li Lianqiao and the King of Jin are on good terms, the official family and the Queen Mother interfered, and Li Lianqiao poisoned the Queen Mother, I think this logic is smooth." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Well, I want to attack Nantang as soon as possible!"

If he heard the good news last year, Xu Yongzhi would only be afraid to applaud and cheer.

But today, he has understood the strength of Li Forsythia.

"It may be more necessary to deal with it as soon as possible, or the Peach Blossom Spring, which is the source of Li Lianqiao's strength, but these can be put down first, and you must first confirm whether there is an enemy around you."

"What do you mean......" Zhao Kuangyin hesitated.

"Official, except for you, no one can judge the King of Jin, we can't hand over the King of Jin to Dali Temple, he is under one person, and he is also your own brother." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I will judge him immediately," Zhao Kuangyin said, "but Yongzhi, I don't think it is profitable for the second child to intervene in this matter—you see that the poison is put in the teapot, it is the recipe given by the old lady Fu, how can the second child put his mother-in-law into this matter?" ”

"Perhaps, someone doesn't want Mrs. Fu to be King Jin's mother-in-law anymore." Xu Yongzhi said coldly.

Just as the two of them were talking, Zhao Er pushed open the courtyard door and rushed in.

"Mother!" Zhao Er tore at his clothes.

"My mother!" Zhao Guangyi roared loudly.

Emotionally prepared.

"What did you do to my mother!" Zhao Guangyi looked at the people in the outhouse, either the imperial doctor or the female dependent, or the emperor, so helplessly, he grabbed Xu Yongzhi's collar.

"You speak!" Zhao Guangyi shouted.

"King Jin," Zhao Kuangyin's voice came, "Come to this house, I have something to ask you." ”

There is a reception room in the two rooms in the courtyard, and if a woman comes in to say goodbye, it is usually here.

Zhao Kuangyin let Zhao Er into the house, and he followed in, Xu Yongzhi wanted to go inside, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head.

"Yongzhi, you are a family member, but you are not surnamed Zhao after all, there are some things, I can just know it."

"Yes, official, I'm just worried about your safety." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I can beat him with one hand, does he dare to move with me?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

Xu Yongzhi came out and stood outside the door with Zhang Dejun.

The snow is starting to fall again.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Kuangyin opened the door and came out.

Both Xu Yongzhi and Zhang Dejun heard someone crying in the house.

"Let him kneel!" Zhao Kuangyin said angrily.

"Official," Xu Yongzhi wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know what to do.

"He said he didn't know." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Is there a letter from the official family?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Do I have a choice?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

Xu Yongzhi couldn't sigh, it would cause pressure on the official family, and he knew how difficult it was for the official family to make decisions.

"You hurry up and bring the strongest hand, Li Lianqiao should be in the Qin Chu Pavilion, I don't want a living person, I want you to take revenge today." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"The minister has to ask for a certificate." Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhao Kuangyin stuffed the gold medal of Kaifeng Mansion into Xu Yongzhi's hand.

The official family has already thought about it.

Xu Yongzhi also ignored the great gift of the monarch and the ministers, took the gold medal, bowed in a hurry, and turned away.

Back in the Queen Mother's bedroom, he called in a low voice.

"Little Phantom, come with me, we're going to do something with someone."

is called Chen Xiaofan, and the opponent must be a wizard.

Xiaogui hurriedly got up: "I'll go too!" ”

Xu Yongyi was a little hesitant for a moment, can Xiaogui kill Li Lianqiao now? After all, she was not Zhao Kuangyin's subject.

"Don't, I'll go," Duan Meimei held Xiao Gui down, "It's best for you to guard against possible assassins." ”

Xiaogui nodded, Duan Meimei was right in this matter.

"If it doesn't work, send a letter to Koukou, and she will be foolproof when she comes." Xiaogui still instructed.

And so the three horses set off.

On the way, Xu Yongzhi met Xing Dayun, the captain of the fire team who was on duty today and was walking through the streets with his brothers.

"General, madam, happy New Year, how are you two?" Xing Dayun hurriedly came over to say goodbye.

Xing Dayun looked at these three people and knew that this matter was not simple.

"There's an enemy, isn't it?" Xing Dayun lowered his voice and said, "There are twenty brothers in this team, and we will go with you." ”

Xu Yongzhi hesitated, to be honest, this is not enough, and the Wanghuo team is now a fairly professional engineering team, you have to let them fight, it is no longer what they are good at.

"You go to my camp, whether Li Shoujie or Uncle Taishi is on duty, let him bring a hundred archers to the Qin Chu Pavilion." Xu Yongzhi instructed Xing Dayun.

When the three horses came out, Xu Yongzhi began to worry, in terms of combat effectiveness, these three people had no problem dealing with four or five Li Forsythia, but there was one problem, that is, Li Forsythia's light skills were good.

If it was Xu Yongzhi and Chen Xiaohuan against Li Forsythia, they would be beaten, but Li Lianqiao had to run, Xu Yongzhi could catch up, and Chen Xiaohuan would be left behind;

If Xu Yongzhi and Xiaogui chase Li Lianqiao, they can catch up, but without witchcraft, they can't kill her;

If it was Xu Yongzhi and Duan Meimei who dealt with Li Forsythia, they could hang and beat, but Li Forsythia wanted to run, and Duan Meimei couldn't catch up.

After thinking about it, it was still like burning the princess's mansion, using archers to prevent Li Lianqiao from coming and going, so he asked Xing Dayun to help him call someone.

There are also holidays in the courtyard, such as Chinese New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the first lunar month, and after the fifth day of the new year, the men gradually get out of the house.

When I arrived at the door of the Qin Chu Pavilion, I saw that this big courtyard was cold and cold, and I was really a little unaccustomed to it.

Xu Yongzhi gently used his sword to pull the latch of the gate, only to find that the gate was not locked at all.

He stepped lightly into the thin snow, which was just right and didn't make a sound.

"Why, do you still want to touch it in quietly? Are you killing or stealing? Li Lianqiao poked his head out of the second-floor window.

Looking at Xu Gongzi upstairs, you will think that he is the best-looking, Duan Meimei looks at him in the night rain, it is upstairs, Li Forsythia watched him riding a horse upstairs in the coloring garden, and it is also upstairs, at this moment, Li Lianqiao also secretly admired, Xu Jin is really much better than Zhao Ersheng.

Xu Yongzhi was also in a trance, he wanted to scold an unpleasant word like "slut, slut", but found that he couldn't say it at all.

"Li Lianqiao, I came to get you on the orders of Kaifeng Mansion." Xu Yongzhi took out the gold medal.

There is no handwritten decree, so to speak.

"Hahaha, I still think you're a hero, it turns out that you're the dog of the Zhao family. What, do you want to kill people for your second brother? Li Lianqiao looked at the two people next to him.

are all creditors, Chen Xiaohuan and Duan Meimei, they all want to kill her.

"Oh, the two helpers are amazing, I'm scared, I'm scared. Come on up and show you something new. ”

Duan Meimei raised her foot and was about to break in, but was pulled by Xu Yongyi.

Xu Yongzhi's gaze gestured to Chen Xiaohuan, and Chen Xiaohuan issued a manifestation spell.

"There are no wizard traps." Chen Xiaohuan said.

Xu Yongzhi entered the lobby of the Qin Chu Pavilion at this time.

The lobby of the Qin Chu Pavilion is a wide golden staircase, and every afternoon when it opens, the neatly dressed girls will greet the guests on this large wide staircase, waiting for their selection, only the most senior Oiran ladies will hide in the suites, only receiving regular customers.

But today, on every staircase, there is a bloody path.

"Iniquity." Chen Xiaohuan said in his mouth.

She might have guessed something.

Above the staircase are two narrower staircases, separated from the left and right.

It was on the platform at the turn of this staircase that Xu Yongzhi saw a person who was suspended on a wooden frame.
