Even if there is always a little bit of mismatch, but there is no way to estimate the time that the two have known each other, the tacit understanding is naturally not a problem, Xu Xiangjin is observing Zhan Qing at the same time, Zhan Qing has been aiming at Xu Xiangjin's direction intentionally or unintentionally, so when he found that she was abnormal, he immediately reacted, and the arrow passed dangerously past his face.

The emperor also knew that this matter could not be made big, and Xu Xiangjin stopped it just now after the end of the game, so he didn't embarrass them anymore.

"Now that the high priest has won this victory, I have prepared 100,000 taels of gold and 100 acres of fertile land, and after the banquet is over, the high priest will go and receive the reward."

Although money is indeed a good thing, Zhan Qing is now powerful and powerful, so he won't care about this thing, not to mention that this little thing almost cost him his life just now, but after all, it was rewarded by the emperor in public, and he couldn't let the family change other conditions, so he simply gave all the silver away.

"Your Majesty, the villain is not short of silver now, hurry up and give all this silver to the refugees who are suffering from disasters in the north, and then the gods will send blessings to Your Majesty, and it will be beneficial to Your Majesty, so please ask Your Majesty for permission."

Take the money rewarded to do good deeds for yourself, how could the emperor not be happy, and directly wave his hand and let the person who arranged it deal with the next matters.

Qin Duyu looked at the masked regent and Xu Xiangjin talking and laughing on the side, and the roots of his angry teeth itched, but after all, he didn't win this time, and he lost the right to speak in front of His Majesty, without any evidence, he had no way to directly puncture the identities of the two of them, so he could only do it in a hurry.

Tossed such a circle of people to go to half a life, and the silver was also scattered by Zhan Qing, a boy who scattered wealth, Xu Xiangjin could only be angry, but there was nothing to be done, after all, because the emperor was watching, even if she wanted to slip away, she really didn't have the ability to sneak out of the palace, so she could only follow Zhan Qing back to where she lived.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xu Xiangjin immediately and quickly returned to her room, wanting to close the door directly to isolate Zhan Qing from the outside, but when they were about to close it, Zhan Qing suddenly stretched out a hand and directly pushed the door open for her, and squeezed in.

He was blocked at the door, and Xu Xiangjin couldn't get out, so he could only sit at the table and sulk while drinking tea.

"I didn't want to explain, but I don't want you to misunderstand me like this all the time, and I don't want you to keep talking to me, so I think you still need to know the reason for what I've done recently."

Zhan Qing said and sat down opposite her, this time, Xu Xiangjin did not directly avoid him.

"I didn't just want to find you, so I concealed my identity and entered the palace, in fact, part of it was because I was investigating a case recently, so the victim's blood was drained, and it was probably drunk, I investigated and found that this matter was related to Huang Guangyu, so I pretended to be a high priest to go to the palace, but I didn't expect to be able to save you who were trapped later."

Well, the reason he said is acceptable to Xu Xiangjin for the time being.

Xu Xiangjin thinks about it now, the news she got from the original personality is that she seems to be the only one who has lost too much blood, but it seems that because she escaped, this matter has evolved out of control, which is equivalent to more people dying in her place.

And judging from the time she met Xu Xiangning before, she seems to have always thought that if she drank her blood, it would be more useful than other people's blood, so she would definitely not let go of herself no matter what, rather than being in a passive state all the time and making things more and more troublesome, it was better to cooperate with Zhan Qing like this.

"Anyway, the two of us are grasshoppers tied to a rope now, since you are risking your risk to investigate the bloodsucking, once it is discovered, I will definitely be implicated, anyway, no matter how it is calculated, I have to help you, but I can't help in vain, if I help you solve the case, you must marry me, otherwise I will directly poke this matter, and both of us have a good time."

In fact, she just casually threatened, after all, once this matter is punctured, it is very likely that her life will be in danger, Xu Xiangjin naturally will not be so pitiful Zhanqing, of course Zhanqing also understands, but she is afraid that she will run away again, so she pretends to be threatened, and agrees for the time being.

"I can agree to your conditions, but the premise is that you must listen to me during this time, and you can't act on your own, let alone put you in danger."

It's not difficult, Xu Xiangjin nodded.

In fact, during this time, Xu Xiangjin seemed to be wandering around blindly every day, but she inadvertently discovered a lot of secrets, but her own ability was really limited, so she didn't dare to break it, and now that she has Zhan Qing's helper, she doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

"I think there is a place that you might be interested in, although I don't see it too clearly, but I am sure that there must be a lot of secrets in the gardens of a few courtyards not far from here, because I once found a human finger there, and Qin Duyu also took me away there quietly, so I thought there must be some passage there."

After all, there are people coming and going during the day, and it is too conspicuous to look for things in the palace, so the two of them waited until midnight, deliberately avoided the patrols, and entered the garden that Xu Xiangjin said.

From the grass on the tip of the finger to the corner of the wall, there will be a big rockery, and behind the rockery, there is a very inconspicuous thing similar to the hole, but now the hole is blocked, in the eyes of outsiders, it only feels that the rockery is damaged and repaired, and there will be no abnormality at all.

Zhan Qing pulled out the sword he was carrying, pried the hole open in three or two clicks, took out the fire fold and shone it inside, only to find that he couldn't see the head at all.

"If you're scared, you can go back, I'll go first."

Zhan Qing was about to go inside, when he suddenly paused, glanced back at Xu Xiangjin, and sure enough, he saw that her face turned a little pale with fright.

Xu Xiangjin looked at the road where they came, and always felt that it seemed to be a little darker over there, and there was still a long way to go back to where she lived, she was not so sure that she would be able to avoid those patrolling people, and what if she met Qin Duyu like she was so unlucky last time, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Zhan Qing was safer here.

She grabbed the sleeve of Zhan Qing's clothes tightly and shook her head, "I said that I would investigate with you, naturally I can't let you go on an adventure alone, I'd better follow you, so that the two of us can take care of each other, after all, I have also gone to Qin Duyu's cave before, maybe I can provide you with any favorable news?" ”

Zhan Qing didn't see her pretending to be stubborn, ripped off her tightly grasping her clothes, held it hard, and then slowly walked forward.

Maybe this cave was originally abandoned, so they didn't see anyone at first, but the more they walked in, the more they felt traces of human activity, until after turning a corner, suddenly they collided with several people coming towards them, and everyone was stunned for each other, and immediately swords faced each other.

"Close your eyes!" Zhan Qing covered Xu Xiangjin's eyes, put them in the corner, and fought against those people.

However, even Qin Duyu, a general, can't beat the battle engine, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are naturally not a problem, and the battle engine didn't give them a chance to shout for help, so they directly solved it one by one, and then dragged them to an inconspicuous place and continued to move forward.

The more she walked in, the more Xu Xiangjin felt that the whole person was not good, and she didn't know who decorated this hole like this, it looked like the place where the big devil lived in the TV series, and she accidentally kicked a lot of skulls along the way, and she was shocked like walking in a haunted house.

I don't know how long they walked, they could slowly hear the sound of people talking, and then they saw a cell at the end of the tunnel, all you locked up are palace maids, there are several soldiers watching at the door, the palace maids seem to have accepted such a reality, they don't even know how to cry, there is only despair on their faces.

They were already scared just now, and if they didn't solve these people immediately, it was likely that they would have been transferred by waiting for the next time.

Xu Xiangjin dragged Zhan Qing back and whispered to him what he knew.

"Xu Xiangning, that is, my cheap sister, she doesn't know where she got the evil arts, because sucking blood can maintain her youth, Qin Duyu is also a dull person, she actually used her identity as a general to help her so unscrupulously, it is estimated that these people are Xu Xiangning's blood bag."

"Suck the blood!" Zhan Qing was a little shocked, even though he had killed countless people and seen countless bloody scenes in modern times, but it was the first time he had heard of sucking human blood, and he felt inexplicably disgusting.

These people are completely evidence, especially those soldiers, they must have a living mouth, so that when they face off in the court, there can be a witness.

Xu Xiangjin knew that she was a dragger, she simply walked inside, squatted in the corner, tried to minimize her sense of existence, and waved her hand at Zhan Qing, "You go, don't worry about me, I will protect myself, and tell me when those people are solved later, you must remember to leave a living mouth!" ”

Zhan Qing threw down a slightly disdainful look and walked out quickly.

"Who are you and how did you get here?"

Xu Xiangjin only heard a few soldiers shouting in surprise, followed by the sound of swords clashing, and after a while, there was no movement, she squatted in place and waited for a while, until Zhan Qing called her over there, and then slowly moved over.
