Time passed quickly, and the next day, Cai Tong led the two people into the house.

Both of them came out of the secret passage behind the rockery, and they were still wearing black cloaks, and the hoods on their heads were also tightly worn, so that people could not see their faces clearly.

Nanxing was enjoying the scenery in the garden at this time, she had already changed her robe, her black hair was tied up by a lotus crown, her wide-sleeved robe, and her clothes were fluttering, which really felt a little dusty.

It wasn't until Cai and the others came close that Nanxing Shi Ran got up.

The two men approached and removed the hoods from their heads, revealing two young faces. One of them had a resolute face and an extremely tall body, looking like a person who had been practicing martial arts for many years. The lines of the other person's face were much softer, and there was a sense of nobility all over his body, but Nanxing always felt a little familiar when he looked at him.

"...... you," Nan Xing asked involuntarily, "what is your relationship with Li Jingyao?" ”

Without waiting for the noble young man to say anything, Cai Tong said in shock: "Don't call Emperor Mingrui by name. I also hope that Your Majesty will forgive her, she is a disciple of Yujing Zhenren of Lianzhen Palace, and she may not have learned the etiquette in the palace, so she is disrespectful, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive her sins. ”

"It doesn't matter." The noble young man didn't seem to care, and asked with interest, "Do I look like my grandfather?" ”

"It turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty and Li ...... Emperor Mingrui is an ancestor and grandson, so he naturally looks alike. ”

"The crown has seen my grandfather?" Li Fengrui's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone remained unchanged, but there was a coldness in his voice.

When Nanxing saw him like this, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was suspicious, and he really didn't know why all these emperors were suspicious, "If Poor Dao said that he had seen it, would Your Majesty believe it?" ”

"Naturally, I believe it, the female crown of the Refining True Palace, and the high disciple of Yujing Zhenren, must be outstanding." Li Fengrui laughed a few times.

Cai Tong pinched a handful of sweat for Nanxing on the side, he was really afraid that Nanxing would say something wrong. Although His Majesty is a kind person, the majesty of the royal family is not to be provoked.

These were a small episode, and soon passed, and Nanxing also knew that the person with a resolute face who practiced martial arts was His Majesty's personal guard, which was commonly known as the shadow guard.

Usually, only the emperor himself can call the shadow guards around him, and the shadow guards usually do not show their figures, even the imperial chief next to the emperor cannot see the true face of the shadow guards. In addition, the shadow guard basically has no name, only a code name for numbers. However, Li Fengrui gave his shadow guard a name, named Xuan Candle. Li Fengrui's character Xuan Gong, he added his own Xuan character to the candle character of the candle flame to form the name Xuan Candle.

Xuan Candle is an important part of the emperor's contact with these people outside the palace, and the name is given on the one hand to show affection, on the other hand, it is also to envelop this person, Li Fengrui's control of human nature is still very in place.

After receiving the name of His Majesty the Emperor, Xuan Zhu respected Li Fengrui even more from the heart, although he also kept his duty before, but it would be more of awe, but now it is respect. There is a big difference between the two.

From Li Fengrui's mouth, Nanxing knew the whole story of this matter for the first time. However, it all starts with Li Fengrui.

Li Fengrui's father was Li Yunxia, the prince born to Concubine Zhuang when Nanxing accompanied Lingxi as a concubine in the harem of the Great Qianchao. With the support of Empress Zheng, the second prince Li Yunxia ascended the throne and was called Emperor Jian'an, and the eldest prince born to Qin Sisi, Li Yunyang, blamed the king of Wei, but under the hint of Empress Zheng, Li Yunxia kept the king of Wei in Jinling Mansion on the grounds that Emperor Mingrui did not have many heirs, so the king of Wei never went to his fiefdom.

Li Yunxia reigned for only more than 30 years, and his intended successor was the eldest prince of the queen of the middle palace, but the eldest prince was infected with a stubborn disease at the age of ten, and died after three years of lingering illness.

Li Fengrui's mother was just a little Ning Jieyu at that time, and she did not live up to the beauty she was when she was young, and Emperor Jian'an gradually stopped going to her palace, and the family background of Concubine Shu and Guifei was second only to the queen, and both of them had sons, so the most powerful contenders for the crown prince fell to the two of them.

I don't know how Li Fengrui won the favor of the queen of the middle palace, when he was eighteen years old, he was taken back to Fengzao Palace by the queen of the middle palace to raise, and the queen's move is undoubtedly to show everyone in the harem and the previous dynasty that Li Fengrui was used as a concubine by the queen. For a time, Li Fengrui was in the limelight.

How could Concubine Shu and Concubine Guifei allow someone to intervene more, but the queen's maiden family fully supported Li Fengrui's ascension. In addition, Li Fengrui gradually revealed his extraordinary knowledge and eyesight, which also made Emperor Jian'an look at his son with admiration. Two years later, before his death, Emperor Jian'an passed the throne to Li Fengrui, and since then the empress's party has won a complete victory.

But after Li Fengrui ascended the throne, the queen was enshrined as the queen mother, and his own mother Ning Jieyu was also named Ning Taiguifei, and at the same time Li Fengrui married the niece of the queen mother as the queen of the middle palace, this series of actions made the queen mother and the queen mother's family very satisfied, but Li Fengrui was just with them, in fact, he was already working to get rid of the situation of being controlled by the queen mother's party.

It's just that Li Fengrui's foundation is too weak, but fortunately, he made a few friends in the process of studying at Yuelu Academy, and now he has the most powerful classmates.

Through the clue that Nanxing mentioned the scribe with one more finger, and there was a six-fingered guest next to the prince of Wei, it was also because of this that Li Fengrui put the target of suspicion on King Wei. Originally, Li Fengrui also felt that there were royal people meddling in the recent series of things, but he never thought of King Wei.

In Li Fengrui's eyes, King Wei, the uncle Wang, is usually the most peaceful, and the errand arranged for him by Emperor Jian'an, and if it was a little more complicated, he deduced that he was not competent, so that the ministers of the court and the central government knew that King Wei's qualifications were mediocre and difficult to take on a big job. King Wei has only one son under his knees, that is, the current prince of Wei, who is much older than Li Fengrui, and now he is in his thirties, and he gave birth to a son and two daughters.

The two daughters were fifteen and eleven, while the only son was fifteen. That's right, the eldest daughter was born to the side concubine, while the son and the younger daughter were born to the main concubine.

The prince of Wei likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and he usually makes friends with some literati and artists. But now it seems that the prince of Wei is afraid that it is fake to go out and do other things.

"By the way, there is also a sheepskin here, please take a look at the Miaoqing Female Crown." Cai Tong took out another sheepskin at the signal of Li Fengrui, which seemed to be a copy of the key drawing of the treasure vault of the previous dynasty.

Nanxing took the sheepskin, and Li Fengrui said again: "I don't know what Miaoqing Female Crown may have realized through this remnant picture?" ”

At this time, Nanxing's visual data had already scanned both sheepskins, and unsurprisingly it prompted Nanxing that it could be repaired, and after a while, Nanxing nodded, "Poor Dao can try to complete it." ”

"Okay, I wonder how long it will take for the female crown to be completed?"

"Wait a minute...... Nanxing didn't pay attention to them after speaking, but concentrated on reading what was given on the visual data.

In fact, Nanxing can give results in minutes, but that is too shocking, so it deliberately slows down. After Nanxing himself read it all and had some understanding, he wrote down the ingredients and weights required for the key drawing on the rice paper.

The shape of this key is different from that of a normal key, it is a structure that resembles a circle, and based on the hole in it, Nanxing speculates that after the key is embedded, it needs to be turned to open the door to the treasure vault in front of the front.

About two quarters of an hour later, Nanxing copied the content he had completed according to the visual data on rice paper, and then handed it to Li Fengrui, "Although there are a lot of ores to ask for, and the amount is also considerable, most of the ores can be mined everywhere. It's just that this Heavenly Sand seems to be produced in only one place, right? ”

The Heavenly Sand is a plant that resembles an ore, which can neither be used for casting nor as a building material, and its only use is probably only to put a large lump into it during alchemy, which can help balance the medicinal properties of the elixir. And most of the pills are relatively simple, and there is no need for rare things like the Heavenly Stygian Sand, so Nanxing has only seen the record of the Heavenly Stygian Sand in the library of the Lianzhen Palace.

"Tianyin Sand, I have an impression of this. There happens to be a piece of mountain forest in Xinding City that produces Tianying Sand, which seems to have been allocated to the Lianzhen Palace since the time of Taizu, and each Xinding Mansion Yin is responsible for collecting and transporting it. Cai Tong helped explain.

Li Fengrui thought for a while and asked, "Isn't there any other place where Tianying Sand is produced?" ”

"If you go back to Your Majesty, there are occasional productions in other places, but the quantity is very scarce, and the Heavenly Sand needs to be used within half a month after picking, otherwise it will lose its unique characteristics."

"Cai Tong, if there is really no other place to produce the Heavenly Sand of the Heavenly Underworld, then guess where King Wei and they will go to refine the key when they get the blueprint of the key?"

……

New Dingcheng.

Xinding City is located in the southwest of Jinling Province, directly below Yongding City.

At this time, Cai Tong, Nanxing, and Guan Minglang, who had been waiting for them here, were now ambushing in the Tianying Sand Collection Yard outside Xinding City.

Seven days ago, after Nanxing cracked the two key fragments, he rushed to Xinding City with Cai Tong overnight. According to the annotations on the key drawing, this key may need to be refined for dozens of days, during which time the Heavenly Sand must be continuously added to stabilize various metals, so Li Fengrui and Nanxing both thought that since a large amount of Heavenly Sand could not be obtained elsewhere, then King Wei must gather all the materials here, and then refine the key on the spot.

That night, Li Fengrui sent Xuan Zhu to secretly infiltrate the Wei Wang's mansion to investigate, and found that the King of Wei, the prince and grandson of the King of Wei, and the concubine of the Prince of Wei were not in the palace. But the others are the same as usual, needless to say, the prince of Wei Wang, his character has always been like to go out to play,

As for the King of Wei, on the pretext of going to Qinzhou to ask questions, he had left Jinling Mansion for more than 20 days. And the prince of Wei Shifei, three days ago, took the grandson of King Wei and said that he was going to pray outside the city for half a month, no need to think about it, it must be to cover people's eyes and ears, it seems that King Wei must be planning to get the key to open the treasure vault of the previous dynasty, and then he will rebel.

Li Fengrui, as His Majesty, naturally could not leave Jinling Mansion, but he allocated a secret team to Cai Tong, as long as they found something in the Tianying Sand Producing Area, they would take people down in one fell swoop.

This secret team, Nanxing doesn't know who it is, but I think it may be a private army secretly prepared by His Majesty, Nanxing thought.

When he arrived in Xinding City, Nanxing found out that the "Baixiao" on the rivers and lakes was also His Majesty's classmate back then, and he was very close to His Majesty, so in order to help His Majesty, he turned out of the Guan family and became the "Baixiao" on the rivers and lakes.
