In the living room, only Shentu Qingfeng and Jiang Lang sat across the Shuimu case.

The maid in a goose-yellow gauze dress put down two cups of tea and left in an instant, leaving only a hot curling smoke, accompanied by the bitter aroma of tea, filling the entire empty hall.

"You can say it!" Shentu Qingfeng said through the thin mist: "It's safe here!" ”

Jiang Lang nodded, his emotions seemed to become excited at this time, he first took a long breath, and then took a sip of hot tea, and then calmed down, and said softly as far as the two of them could hear: "Master Shentu, before showing this thing, please allow the kid to say one more digression!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Shentu Qingfeng seemed to expect what he would say, but he still listened patiently.

"That kid will speak boldly!" Jiang Lang bowed to Shentu Qingfeng and said, "The words and deeds of the second prince are inherently inappropriate, but this visit also represents the royal court's gesture of goodwill to Hongmeng Valley. Why did the head of the family bother with thunderous anger, wouldn't this exacerbate the contradiction between Shentu and the royal family? ”

"Then according to your words, he insulted my ancestors, and I still want to pretend to be friends with him?" Shentu Qingfeng said: "If I really do this, I'm afraid I won't have the face to go to the ancestors." What's more, the Nangong family actually hit my daughter with the abacus, and wanted to take advantage of this to infiltrate the power into Hongmeng Valley, and the wolf's ambition was clearly revealed! You're in Kyoto, so you're not ignorant of all this news, are you? ”

Jiang Lang was silent, he was also the son of the official eunuch of the Great Li Kingdom, some things could not be said clearly, the words of the head of the Shentu family had shown that he had seen it very thoroughly, so there was no need to say anything more.

"Is Elder Jiang still in good health?" Shentu Qingfeng changed the topic and asked about Jiang Lang's grandfather, Jiang Wentao.

"The old man is in good health, he gets up early every day to play Baduanjin, and he is in good spirits!" Jiang Lang said: "The head of the Lao family is bothered! This thing was brought to me by my grandfather! As he spoke, he took out a square wrapped in blue indigo satin from his bosom and placed it on the desk.

Shentu Qingfeng untied the burden tied with silk, and inside was a vermilion wooden box, and the opening also carried a heavy copper lock.

"The kid didn't have a key to open the box." Jiang Lang said: "The old man said that the head of the family has his own way to open the lock!" ”

Shentu Qingfeng carefully examined the wooden box, which was carved with pictures of the sun, moon and stars, and the moire reliefs were all over the box, and the copper lock also had a rusty appearance, as if it could not be opened with a key.

His gaze was drawn to the raised stars in the picture, and at first glance there seemed to be no regularity in their arrangement, but it was in this disorder that there was a hidden method of order.

Shentu Qingfeng closed his eyes, gently felt the relief on the wooden box with both hands, and before the mist of the tea cleared, he found the mechanism to open the box.

He pressed his thumb on an inconspicuous star in the gap on the left side of the wooden box, only to hear a sudden rustling sound in the box, followed by a crisp click, the wooden box opened from the opposite direction, and the copper lock was still firmly locked in the obvious opening on the other side, indicating that the copper lock was undoubtedly blind.

Jiang Lang was amazed by Shentu Qingfeng's skillful technique, he secretly admired, but he didn't look at what was inside the box. As soon as the box was opened, he consciously turned around and pretended to enjoy the view outside the diamond-shaped screen.

In fact, there was only a piece of parchment in such a carefully protected wooden box, which was rolled together and lay quietly in the box, and when Shentu Qingfeng took it out and opened it, the gray-white paper was soaked with a line of words written in blood.

There are only eighteen words, which read:

Hongmeng falls, and the sky is broken; The fortunes of the country are declining, and the goddess is present; The phoenix is singing, and the nine countries are prospering

The date of the payment at the bottom was specially circled, Shentu Qingfeng felt that this date was a little familiar, and after taking a closer look, his heart couldn't help but tighten: Isn't this date exactly the time when Yao'er was born?
