Chapter 36: To the capital

After King Yan recalled, he fell into contemplation again, thinking: "When Taizong first ascended the throne, it was rumored that Taizong had ascended the throne after murdering his brother Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and called it 'candle shadow axe'. Now that a long time has passed, the world is peaceful, and the matter of 'candle shadow axe' has gradually been forgotten. If the search for the descendants of Taizu is carried out with great fanfare, the theory of 'candle shadow axe' will surely be resurrected, and the legitimacy of His Majesty's throne may be questioned, and it is very easy to shake the foundation of the country. His Majesty has no children, probably he wants to do some good deeds and move the heavens, in order to be blessed by God and get the prince as soon as possible, if this is the case, then the search for the descendants of Taizu can only be carried out in secret. ”

Recently, Emperor Zhao Zhen often has headaches, and on this day, he felt a little more comfortable, so he opened Prime Minister Li Xingzhen's recital and read it. In his recital, Prime Minister Li once again reiterated his resolute opposition to the search for the descendants of Taizu, and listed a large number of reasons for his opposition. After reading it, the emperor said to Gonggong Cui: "What Prime Minister Li said is very reasonable, I can't remember why I ordered to find the descendants of Taizu for a while. ”

"The slave maid remembered that the official family said this at the time: The saying of 'candle shadow axe' is still circulating among the people, and only by treating the descendants of Taizu with kindness can we prove that the 'Golden Kui Alliance' is the historical truth, and the rumor of 'candle shadow axe' will be self-defeating."

The emperor nodded and said, "That's the case, you go and urge King Yan and ask him to step up his search for Taizu's descendants." ”

"Slaves and maids obey the commandment."

Besides, Bai Haohong and his entourage, finally arrived in the capital in the evening, and after sending Zhan Xue and Tang Gongzi to Zhan Mansion, Bai Haohong and Lizi returned to Bai Mansion.

When Du Yiming heard that Bai Haohong and they had arrived home, he hurriedly rushed out to greet him, and when he saw Bai Haohong, he said: "Brother Bai, your Baifu is really big and magnanimous, and I can live comfortably." ”

Bai Haohong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Take this as your own home, you're welcome." ”

Du Yiming looked at Lizi and said, "Lizi, the beaded flowers on your head are so beautiful, can you take them off and show me?" ”

Lizi giggled out loud and said, "Brother Bai, when I was with Sister Xue, I shook my head vigorously in front of her, hoping that she would find out, but Sister Xue just didn't notice my beads. As soon as Yiming saw me, he found out. ”

Bai Haohong also smiled: "Zhan Xue likes weapons, if you bring a knife, she will be able to find it immediately." ”

Du Yiming interjected: "It's a waste for Sister Xue to be a woman!" In fact, she looks pretty good, but she always wears men's clothes, learns from men, and doesn't like to dress up at all, how can she be liked?

Liz said: "Luo Bu cabbage, everyone has their own love, and those who like Sister Xue naturally have." ”

Du Yiming asked again, "Liz, where is your gold necklace?" I wanted to ask you that day, but I forgot to ask. ”

"I gave it away."

Du Yiming said unhappily: "Huh?! So you just give away valuable things? You really need to fix this bad problem! This bead flower is much more valuable than your gold necklace, so don't give it away! ”

"No, it won't! This is what Big Brother Bai bought, and I will wear it for the rest of my life. ”

"I'll keep it for you when you don't wear it, so you don't lose it."

Bai Haohong listened, smiled and said to Du Yiming: "Yiming, you can really be Liz's housekeeper." ”

"yes, I don't know how much I worried about her. Every time Liz goes to that time, I feel so distressed, and in the future, I will collect hard money from Liz's husband! ”

Lizi said again: "Yiming, I want to go to the Criminal Department with Brother Bai tomorrow to find Mr. Xiahou to treat the disease of getting smaller." ”

"No, I know why." Du Yiming saw that there was no one around, so he continued to whisper: "Our bodies have become smaller because we have passed through the 'time and space tunnel', and we don't need to go to Mr. Xiahou, which does not need to be treated. ”

Bai Haohong said: "Yiming, listen to Lizi, you are a medical genius, if you lack any materials when making medicine, just open your mouth." Also, Liz is going to start practicing martial arts tomorrow morning, will you come along? ”

"Brother Bai, I don't have any interest in martial arts, so I won't practice."

"Whatever you want." Bai Haohong said to Lizi again: "Lizi, you go to the armory room with me and pick a repeating crossbow." ”

Liz asked, "Repeating crossbows?" Isn't it a Zhuge crossbow? ”

Bai Haohong asked rhetorically: "Do you know the Zhuge crossbow?" ”

"I've heard of it. However, the Zhuge crossbow doesn't seem to be strong, and it is generally used for family thieves or something. ”

"I've improved the Zhuge crossbow and strengthened my strength."

Lizi and Bai Haohong came to the armory room, Lizi picked a repeating crossbow, at this time, she saw that a flute made of purple bamboo was also placed on the weapon rack, so she picked it up and asked, "Brother Bai, is this flute also a weapon?" ”

"Yes, I made Zizhu into a flute after special treatment, and the ordinary sword cut it constantly. Therefore, this purple bamboo flute can not only be used as a flute, but also as a short stick in fighting. ”

"Can you give me this purple bamboo flute?"

"Take it if you like." Bai Haohong said again: "Tomorrow morning, I will practice the basic skills, and then practice the 'Emei Thirty-two Style', I will learn to ride a horse when I have time, and I will practice to shoot a crossbow on a horse and hit a hundred shots." ”

"No problem!" Liz replied cheerfully, thinking, "Big Brother Bai is really strict! In order to make him happy, no matter how hard and tired I am, I have to keep practicing. ”

The next day, Lizi got up early in the morning, came to the hall, and greeted Bai Haohong: "Brother Bai is early." Are you going out to practice? ”

"I've finished my practice, and now I'm ready to go to the Yamen. Today is the first day, forget it, starting tomorrow, you can't sleep in! Go to the garden and practice by yourself. ”

After Bai Haohong went to the Yamen, Lizi practiced basic skills such as standing on piles, and felt too tired, so he picked up the repeating crossbow and practiced. Because, in Liz's opinion, the basic skills can't see the results immediately, but whether the crossbow shoots well or not can be seen immediately. After lunch, Liz began to write detective novels.

Besides, Bai Haohong came to the Criminal Department and reported the details of Xixia's crime to Lord Shang Shuhai of the Criminal Department, and after listening to it, Lord Hai patted Bai Haohong on the shoulder and said, "Okay! This time, he was able to successfully crack the Xixia crime, thanks to the help of the white guards. Bai Wei, the Criminal Department needs a talent like you, and the order for you to officially serve in the Criminal Department has come down. Every time you come to help, you work with Zhan Peng and Zhan Xue, and you are more familiar with them, so I put you in their group. ”

"Thank you, Lord Hai, for your appreciation."

As soon as Bai Haohong came out of the Hai Lord's house, he ran into Zhan Xue, Zhan Xue smiled at him and said, "Brother Bai, I heard that you have been officially transferred, great!" We are a group, in the same headcatcher. ”

"I'm so familiar with this place, you don't have to come and pick me up." Bai Haohong said.

"Thinking about all the good things, why am I going to pick you up?! It's Hai-sama who has something to do with me. ”

"Then you can get in."

Bai Haohong came to his head-catching room, Zhan Peng happened to be absent, after Bai Haohong sat down, he began to sort out the file, and after a while, Zhan Xue came back angrily, sat opposite Bai Haohong, and shouted: "I'm angry!" ”

Bai Haohong raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
