"Isn't this all over?"

Qin Bai was puzzled: "A letter from the mansion, even if there is a spy, there will be no news, as long as you wait for your brothers to come back, everything will be easy." ”

"The prince's sudden closure of the door of the mansion will inevitably attract the suspicion of outsiders, so we must dispel everyone's doubts first."

Xue He said: "Just now, I have ordered someone to inform the princess to set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, and the prince should be kind to appease him during the banquet." ”

"What shall I say, then, if they ask?"

"Let's just say that there are spies in the house, and they need to be investigated carefully for a few days, and if anyone has clues, they can also report to you. In this way, everyone is in danger, and no one has the leisure time to regenerate incidents. ”

Xue He said: "This ghost hunting game is enough for them to play for a few days, as long as we wait until the brothers come back, we don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Qin Bai smiled, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the cheek: "You're still amazing." ”

"It's not early, you have to go and talk to Yu Miaojin first, this drama can't be done without her."

Xue He's hand was on his shoulder, and his eyes were glazed: "I have a good grasp of proportion!" It's a matter of whether you're going to sleep in bed or on the floor tonight! ”

Qin Bai frowned: "Why did I provoke her again for no reason?" ”

"Most of these disciples raised in your house are her father's protégés, how can this kind of scene be done without her? …… Rest assured, she is supporting your rebellion, and there is no reason not to be on your side. ”

As soon as the princess was mentioned, Qin Bai's head was big. That's not an easy woman, she is smart and has means, and she has affection for Zhao Zheng, not if it's close, it's not good if it's far! It's really hard.

Speaking of this, Xue He raised his eyebrows and pinched his face quietly: "In order to accomplish great things, it's okay to be tempting!" Acting on the spot is also allowed. ”

She deliberately slowed down her speech, her tone was weird, but the force in her hand grew stronger and stronger—it was clear that what she was saying was not the same thing as what she was thinking.

Now Qin Bai's face is genuine, there is no disguise technique, and he has completely been turned into Zhao Zheng's appearance. Qin Bai gasped in pain:

"Understood! Madam! I know, I know, I know! ”

Xue He put away his hand proudly, and turned around and went out cleanly: "The instructions are over, let's disperse!" ”

"Madame, it's cold outside! Wear extra clothes and go! ”

Qin Bai said, picked up her rouge hooded cloak and chased her out, and helped her put it on her body very diligently.

--Ten Days Later--

The eight people who went deep into Mobei finally sorted things out, and rushed back to the palace day and night.

However, I saw that the gate of the palace was closed and heavily guarded, and the group came to the Yongle Hall suspiciously and saw that there was no one, and I couldn't help but feel a sinking in my heart.

"I'll just say I'll have to keep someone to watch the house! It's good that Xuehe's little girl doesn't make trouble, and she still wants her to take care of things? Why is the heart so big? ”

"Less afterthought! It's not that you don't know the situation in Mobei, the eldest brother is not here, it is not easy for a few of us to do this well, where can we leave someone to watch the house? ”

"You're always right! If something happens to Xue Mei and that coward, we will lose everything! ”

"That can't be. Xue Mei is such a smart person, even if she doesn't have mana, she won't have an accident! ”

"Okay, okay, let's say a few words."

Pu Jiao persuaded him painlessly, barely calming everyone's emotions, and then he saw Jun Qi come out of the inner room and shook his head: No one.

Bad premonition.

A few people were wondering, only to see the old inner eunuch coming in from outside, and said with a smile: "The prince is still talking about how a few people should go back today, let me wait here, but it just so happens that this is coming." …… The prince and the little lady are talking in the west courtyard, please come with me. ”

When the people heard this, they were a little relieved.

"You guys go over, I'm sleepy, go back and make up for sleep first."

The old man suddenly said a word, with a pale and handsome face, and turned around and left without waiting for everyone to speak.

Everyone exchanged glances and looked at his back without saying a word.

Pu Jiao stepped forward and said respectfully: "Ah Weng, please take the first step." My brother hasn't closed his eyes for a few days, so let us slow down, and then we'll arrive. ”

The old inner supervisor saw that their faces were covered with dust, all of them were haggard, and the atmosphere between the brothers was also strange, so he didn't want to ask too much, so he answered and went down first.

This trip to Mobei was very unsmooth.

It's not at all what I expected. The eight people originally planned to go to the Wind Thunder Knife Valley to dig out a few thieves' nests, loot some property, and stop after solving the immediate urgency, but after going around in a big circle, there was no half of a figure in the originally very lively towns, only a demonic aura remained, and I don't know what happened.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing was found.

The eight people were helpless, the rebellion at home was still waiting for the rice to go to the pot, and they couldn't pay the difference when they went back empty-handed. There was no choice but to continue to explore the hinterland of Mobei. Since there were no clues in hand, everyone decided to go to the Hundred Ghost Collection to find out the news first.

There is a place called the Sea of No Return in the Northern Wasteland, every seventh day every month, at the turn of the midnight meridian, it will communicate with the underworld, at this time the door of the underworld is wide open, there are often demons or elves and ghosts gathered here to form a market, there are both business buying and selling shops, there are also places to eat, drink and have fun, it is very lively.

That's the 'Hundred Ghosts'.

The Hundred Ghost Collection has a long history, and I don't know when it began.

At first, it was just a small market where the little ghosts of the netherworld came out to sell news, and the dead ghosts sold for funerals and mixed up a few dollars, and later developed into a downtown where all the gods, monsters, ghosts, and even mortals could freely enter and exit the market. Since it is located at the intersection of the three realms, it will disappear by itself before dawn, so the officials of the yin and yang worlds do not interfere, and they are as free as a paradise.

There is only one rule here: all transactions are consensual, and all grievances are written off before dawn, leaving no traces and no aftermath.

However, the trouble that their brothers encountered this time was not only horse bandits, but also demons.

The eight brothers originally just wanted to find out the news of the horse bandits, but as soon as they arrived at the Hundred Ghost Collection, they unexpectedly encountered a very difficult banshee.

The banshee didn't know where it came from, but she had some way; I have probably eaten a lot of people, and my body is very angry, very powerful. These eight people came to visit in plainclothes, and they didn't want to make trouble, but she pressed step by step, and everyone had to join forces to restrain her.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The banshee was born extremely beautiful, and if it was said that she was moved by the compassion of pity and cherishing the jade, it would be understandable to anyone else, but he was the only one who had never revealed seven emotions and six desires.

The old four are fierce, handsome in appearance, elegant in temperament, excellent in both piano and sword, and are outstanding among the brothers regardless of whether they are literary or martial arts. It's just that he has a lonely and arrogant temperament, has no friends at all except his brothers, and seems very indifferent to everything - just like the legendary sages and immortals in the mouths of mortals, who don't eat the fireworks of the world.

Since then, he has not said a word, nor has he explained anything. His temperament is extremely cold, except for his eldest brother, he can't listen to anyone's words, and he doesn't pay attention to anyone who asks.

Pu Lao is also helpless. Things have been messed up, no useful news has been heard, and time is very limited, so how can we wait for the next day when the market opens every July?

They had no choice but to return home, and searched aimlessly in the desert for several days, finding only a few hiding places for the rogues, and only after some gold and silver horses did they barely return to make a mission.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he left everyone behind and left first.

There was silence in the Yongle Palace.

The remaining seven people looked at each other: the eldest brother's explanation made it possible to let it go for now, and it became a top priority to solve the problem of the fourth child first.

"What's going on with the fourth?"

Pu Lao first broke the silence and asked Lao Wutao: "You have the closest relationship with him, you should know something, right?" ”

Among the nine brothers, in addition to Junqi and Jiaotu, the fourth and fifth are also twins. It's just that the two of them not only don't look alike, but their personalities are completely different.

"Actually, this is the case...... Alas. ”

Gluttony grabbed his hair, his brows were tied in a dead knot, and he talked about a past incident many years ago.

At that time, Xue He had not yet been born, and the nine brothers lived in the Wind Thunder Knife Valley, learning skills from their master, the Wind God Hua Lie. As his name suggests, the five sons are gluttonous and were born to be out-and-out foodies.

It was the seventh day of the day, but he got some gold from the horse bandits, so he planned to go to the Hundred Ghost Market for a big meal in the evening. But he went alone and was afraid of being scolded, so he dragged him along.

Just after the past, on the desert that had been empty, houses of varying heights appeared like mirages, orange lanterns were lit one after another, and the streets were gradually filled with pedestrians.

The bustling market is crowded with monsters with horns on their heads and ghosts floating around.

The two brothers walked side by side, and the dazzling array of rare treasures was dazzling.

The gluttony soon found a stall for the sake of the fragrance, and happily found a place to sit down. Standing on the side with a blank face, he glanced at the various internal organs boiled in the big iron pot: I don't know what kind of animal or human they were, but they were steaming hot together; The fragrance kept wafting out, and soon the stall was full of people, or monsters.

The gluttony asked for a big bowl and beckoned him to come over: "Don't stand stupidly, come and taste it!" You can't eat this kind of delicious taste in the world! ”

But he shook his head: "I don't force you to memorize poems, and you don't force me to eat water, okay?" ”

"You're boring."

"I knew you were pulling me to eat this in the middle of the night, so I wouldn't have come at all."

Gluttony didn't speak, biting half of his large intestine in his mouth, and was silly at him.

He sighed, and heard a wisp of piano sound from across the noisy street, like a heavenly sound. His heart moved, and he followed the prestige, and it turned out to be from a teahouse not far in front of him. The plaque in the middle of the gatehouse is written on the four words "Cup of snow and clouds", the pen is feminine and beautiful, soft and tenacious, without losing the wind and bones, although at a glance you know that it comes from the daughter's handwriting, and quite a lot of demeanor, it is very rare.

He praised the 'good word' in his heart, said hello to his brother, and raised his leg into the teahouse.
