Chapter XXVIII

"You mean, the porridge was really captured by the thief?" Du Ming asked.

"Yes." Qingyue said and looked at me lying on the couch.

"It's so hateful, where is that Taoist now? Dare to fight the idea of porridge! I'm afraid I'm impatient! Wu Yueyue shouted: "I'll kill him now!" ”

Ben Mao lay on the couch, looking at the angry Sister Wu, feeling that she was indeed back, this group of people is always so noisy.

"Sister Wu, this is not the best way to solve the problem." Du Ming hurriedly said.

"Already killed." Qingyue said lightly.

……… Du Ming looked at Qingyue in surprise.

In fact, when this cat found out last night that it was Qingyue who saved him, he was also very surprised.

"I have a question, what is this thief doing with porridge? What reason did he have for that? Du Ming then asked.

"What's the reason for stealing?" Wu Yueyue said: "If you have to do bad things for a reason, then there won't be so many wicked people." ”

As she was talking, Liu Meixue ran in from outside with Shixin, and tears fell as soon as she saw me.

"Porridge! You're really back! It's all my sister's fault, my sister didn't take good care of you, so that the bad guy had a chance, my sister is sorry for you. Liu Meixue hugged me and cried.

I gently patted her with my paw as a gesture of comfort.

I just heard Du Ming and others talk about it, and I realized that Liu Meixue has been waiting outside the mansion every day since that day, trying her best to find out my news everywhere, and I didn't think about blaming her.

What's more, in fact, this time it was also because I wanted to find the bell.

"Girl, don't cry, aren't you back? If you want to blame it, blame the thief for being too hateful. Wu Yueyue comforted.

Du Ming looked at Liu Meixue and said: "That thief Taoist dares to grab porridge at the entrance of the mansion, it is really puzzling, what is the place where porridge is worthy of a Taoist priest's coveting?" ”

"The little monk may know that the little monk has read several Taoist books." Shi Xin said suddenly.

"You're a monk reading Taoist books?" Du Ming scoffed.

"If you have nothing to do, just take a look." Shi Xin said with a smile.

"And what do you see?" Wu Yueyue asked.

The little monk learned from the book that there is a Taoist tradition called alchemy. It is to refine some things that contain the aura of heaven and earth into pills that help cultivation. Relief said.

"So what do you mean? Liu Meixue asked, "That Dao person wants to grab porridge and go to alchemy?" ”

"It's just a little monk's guess." Relieved said.

"If it is said that porridge is a cat with only aura, then there are more cats with aura, so why chase after it?" Du Ming said again.

"What do you mean that there are many cats with aura, and the porridge is unparalleled in the world." Liu Meixue said dissatisfied.

"I'm not the same thing as you." Du Ming explained.

"Let's talk about yesterday's investigation." Qingyue said.

Everyone fell silent all at once.

"Yesterday, I didn't find anything in order to find porridge." Liu Meixue said: "

"Just like before, most of the soldiers and their families of that year are gone, and the people on the other side of the city gate are basically not the same as before, but yesterday when I was looking for porridge, I heard a news that Liu Po, who cooked for the officers and soldiers guarding the city, disappeared after the city was broken, and some people rumored that she went to the Jin Kingdom." Wu Yueyue said.

"Jin Kingdom?" Du Ming said: "It seems that this Liu Po may know something. Over at the palace, the old master book that Master Zhao helped me find, I went to talk to him every day in the past few days, and learned a lot of gossip about the officials back then, but most of them were meaningless. ”

"Nothing interesting, what are you talking about? I thought you went to the government to find porridge. Liu Meixue said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for it while inquiring, the only news that has some meaning is that Zhao Yi, the superintendent sent by the imperial court, left suddenly on the eve of breaking the city." Du Ming said.

"Zhao Yi, the Thirteenth Dao Inspector of the Supervision Yuan?" Qingyue asked.

"Yes, this Zhao Yi has always been praised by my court as a clear stream, and he is extremely self-disciplined and... Mean, I really didn't expect him to be involved. Du Ming sighed.

"What's wrong with the General Soldier's Mansion?" Relieved and asked Qingyue.

"I didn't find it," Qingyue said and looked at Du Ming: "The information that records that battle is very complete. ”

Hearing this, Du Ming raised his eyebrows in understanding.

"That means that according to today's clues, if you want to investigate, you can only start from the capital and the Jin Kingdom?" Liu Meixue said: "Are there any other clues?" ”

"I've been looking for porridge these days. I am also constantly probing. Those who may have known the inside story back then were either killed in battle, or they had long since disappeared, and there were too few clues that could be found, and these clues were not necessarily reliable. Du Ming said.

"Then divide the soldiers into two ways and go to find out." Wu Yueyue said.

"The Jin Kingdom is so big, where did Liu Po go, I'm afraid there is no trace." Relieved said.

"Is this time to give up? The old lady disagreed, why did the general die that year? It is because of this sneak attack war that this Zhuozhou Mansion is the key, and now there is a clue suddenly, if you don't go, I'll go myself. Wu Yueyue said angrily.

"Sister Wu, don't worry." Du Ming said: "As long as a person has appeared in this world, it is impossible to be traceless, but this action still needs Qingyue to decide." ”

"Taishi just said let's check, now that there is progress, let's go back to Qianzhou Mansion first and report to Taishi before making plans." Qingyue said.

"Okay."
