There is still a month left, that is, the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head.

Huang Jin had long wanted to offer a treasure to the emperor when the dragon raised his head, so as to please a dragon Yan Dayue.

Bai Qieming's proposal just touched Huang Jin's heart.

However, he had only heard of the legends of the spirits in the mountains, and had not seen them with his own eyes.

That's why he asked, is there a snake spirit?

Hearing this question, Bai Qieming raised his head and lowered his voice:

"It's true! The thousand-year-old snake spirit is in Maling Mountain, and now the snake head has a palm-sized snake crown, and the snake crown is a precursor to the snake dragon, and the value is not lower than the tortoise shell. ”

Maling Mountain spans Sulu, stretches for one hundred and thirty miles, and the shape is like a galloping horse, so it is named Maling.

Yuan Laoyu was born at the southern foot of Maling Mountain in Zhongwu County.

"Che Ming, I didn't expect you to be so hearted, but the spirits have Taoism, and they are far from being able to compete with the flesh and blood of ordinary people, not to mention cutting off the head of the snake to get the snake crown! Are you sure? ”

Huang Jin was worried that Bai Qieming had messed things up.

When the time comes, stealing chickens will not be successful, and the emperor will be furious when he hears that the eunuch has gone out of the palace to do business without permission.

It's light to eat the board with that ass, and it's hard to say whether you can keep the head on the neck.

When Bai Qieming heard this, he made a knife with his palm and made a fierce gesture on his neck.

"If the matter is revealed, I wish that Bai Aya will hang on the tree and be buried in Ma Ling, and I will never affect my father-in-law."

Huang Jin motioned for Bai Qieming to sit down and speak.

As the factory director of the governor's Dongchang affairs, how could he let his subordinates think that he was timid and afraid.

"Che Ming, Ben Du didn't mean that, I just heard that Maling Mountain, which was the place where Sun Bin laid an ambush and shot Pang Juan in ancient times, you go there, Ben Du always feels a little unlucky."

Bai Qieming patted his chest, indicating that nothing was wrong.

"Father-in-law, Che Ming is not going alone this time, there is a Taoist from Kunlun Mountain, to help me, this long Dao is called the Golden Hammer, and it is the only successor of the Kunlun Void Immortal Magic Weapon."

Bai Qieming bet on his life, and Huang Jinxin said that it would be good to gamble!

He pulled out a decree from his sleeve.

"This is the holy decree sent by Long Live to Pengzhou Mansion, because the New Year has been delayed, and now it can come in handy, Maling Mountain is not far from Pengzhou Mansion, you will take a trip in the name of passing the decree."

After Huang Jin finished speaking, he handed the holy decree to Bai Qieming.

"In addition, Huang Younian, the prefect of Huai'an, is my cousin in terms of seniority, if the matter is revealed, you don't have to cut yourself, you can ask him for help, after all, Zhongwu County is under the rule of Huai'an Mansion."

Huang Jin picked up his pen and wrote another secret letter.

"When it's really a last resort, you give the secret letter to Huang Younian and let him open it."

Huang Younian's backer in the capital is Huang Jin.

Although Wen Chaotian and Huang Younian have a relationship, Wen Chaotian does not know this relationship.

But Mr. Wei knows.

This is also the reason why Huang Younian sent someone to give a gift to Wen Chaotian a year ago, and Mr. Wei signaled not to accept it.

Although the eunuchs are not favored now, the emperor's "yellow companion" may be able to reach out to the sky at a critical moment.

Huang Jinqian instructed Wan Wan, Bai Qieming nodded again and again, and then left after holding the secret letter of the holy decree.

Bai Qieming was born in poverty, he had no money to study and the imperial examination, and he was ruthless and pure, just to find another way to fight, how could he be willing to do it now, this situation where Dongchang is always suppressed.

He had to do something big and let the emperor know that there were also useful people among the eunuchs.

Bai Qieming did not delay, found a golden gilt at night, hit it off, and decided to set off overnight.

……

Like Bai Qieming, Bu Gaosheng is also very eager to perform in front of the emperor.

His father gave him this name back then, just hoping that he could become an official and rise step by step.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Bugao's addiction to promotion is not small, and he looks forward to making contributions every day, and the next morning, he hurriedly came to find Lu Bing.

"Lost again?" Lu Bing asked with a smile.

"My lord, I didn't lose it this time, but when he was about to arrest Jin Liuzi, he actually entered the territory of Bai Qieming, the No. 2 person in Dongchang, and the lower officials are not good at acting without authorization, so I came to tell him."

Since the founding of this dynasty, these years are the first time that Jinyiwei has surpassed the East Factory.

Lu Bing didn't want to, and pressed Huang Jin and Dongchang step by step.

"Oh? He was actually involved with Dongchang? Then forget it, although Dongchang is weak now, for Huang Jin's sake, he can't help but give some face, after all, he is the companion of the Son of Heaven. ”

"My lord, Bai Qieming and Jin Liuzi left Beijing overnight, and I have already sent people to follow them along the way."

Hearing Bu Gaosheng say this, Lu Bing waved his hand.

"Gao Sheng, you did the right thing, but no matter what they do, let's just watch from a distance and don't interfere, follow and spy on such a trivial matter, just leave it to the following, you go home and reunite first."

Lu Bing said so, and Bu Gaosheng had no choice but to dispel the idea of going in person.

After stepping up, Lu Bing came to the inner room and raised his hand to caress the already quaint tortoise shell.

He thought of Duan Chu again, when the knife fell in his hand.

"When Your Majesty stays in the capital this year, I will definitely take the time to go to Pengzhou Mansion to meet him, if he is a talent, he must not fall into the hands of Dongchang."

The decree of this dynasty stipulates that neither the executioner nor the servant himself can participate in the imperial examination, nor can the next three generations.

In this way, the only way for executioners and servants and their descendants to become officials is closed.

However, Lu Bing was sure and hired Duan Chu exceptionally.

The reason is very simple, the wet nurse who fed the current emperor when he was a child is Lu Bing's biological mother.

Lu Bing and the emperor, although they are not blood brothers, they are also compatriots!

This is also another reason why Jinyiwei is above the East Factory.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, Lu Bing's official position has risen all the way.

However, the emperor still wants to promote Lu Bing, but at present, he just lacks a reason to convince the public.

Lu Bing is now the pacification envoy of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, from the fourth grade.

If he wants to become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and take full charge of the Jinyi Guard, he has to help the emperor find that reason to convince the public.

If Shen Qingchun can find the snow doll, this reason for serving the public will be found.

At that time, you can dedicate the snow doll to the emperor as an auspicious gift from the sky.

Promote the heroes who discovered auspiciousness, and the emperor will not be afraid of the nagging of the ministers.

Lu Bing decided that as long as Shen Qingchun was alone and couldn't succeed, then he would find Duan Chu and let him join Jinyiwei, and then let him rush to Shen Qingchun's aid to find the snow doll in Xiling together.

……

From the second day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, for so many days in between, Duan Chu found a reason to go out alone every day, standing in the distance of Zhao's cloth shop, hoping that the beauty on the third floor would be able to open the window.

But he didn't get his wish once.

He hoped that Granny Wang could bring him good news, but he didn't get his wish, he didn't expect Tailor Zhao to agree to this family affair now, he only hoped to see the beautiful woman behind the window again.

After dark, he came downstairs to Zhao's house again.

He hoped that the window would be opened, and the beautiful woman behind the window would be able to stick out her head and look at the various lanterns on the street.

……

At this time, Ma Qianli was in the government office, reporting on the recent public security situation, Wen Chaotian listened absent-mindedly, and he, like Duan Chu, was also looking forward to it.

He was looking forward to the decree of promotion to prefect.

Seeing that Wen Chaotian was worried, Ma Qianli secretly calculated: It's been so long, and Master Wen hasn't been promoted, it seems that Duan Chu will be like that after the beginning, he will find a suitable in-law for his daughter.

At this moment, a eunuch came in, holding the holy decree in his hand and said: "Wen Chaotian receives the decree!" ”
