In the living room of King Xian's Mansion, Bao Zheng sat quietly on the chair, looking at the teacup in his hand with low eyebrows, the tea is a good tea, the silver and white buds of Emei, Sichuan, the aroma is fragrant and fragrant, the taste is fresh and mellow, Put it in the tea cup made of white jade, it is more tender and green and oily, and the soup is pure and bright. Bao Zheng was originally a tea lover, and this kind of tea must have been tasted in his hands, but he was concerned about Zhanzhao's safety, and he had no time to take care of it at the moment.

After a cup of tea, King Xian hurriedly came from outside, Bao Zheng hurriedly got up and saluted, King Xian helped him and said: "Lord Bao is an important minister of the court, I am just an idle prince, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Bao Zheng said with a straight face: "The prince is a nobleman, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, Bao Zheng should do this." ”

King Xian had already heard that Bao Zheng had an upright temperament, and he didn't want to be serious with him, so he smiled, sat down on the top, and asked: "Bao Zheng came to this king's Xianwang Mansion early in the morning, I don't know what happened?"

Bao Zheng bowed slightly and said: "The last time the prince came to Kaifeng Mansion to ask about Gu Magic, Bao Zheng was inconvenient to inform because the case was not clear at that time, who knows, recently the Kaifeng Mansion Prison suddenly encountered a group of masked assassins to rob the prison, and the incident suddenly The scene was chaotic, fortunately, Bai Shaoxia and everyone worked together to fight to the death to quell the fight, but a female prisoner escaped from the Kaifeng Mansion Prison. Speaking of this, Bao Zheng deliberately paused and glanced at King Xian.

"Oh, so many people robbed the prison just to save a woman, so it can be seen that this woman must not be an ordinary person. King Xian said in a calm tone.

Bao Zheng bowed his head slightly and continued: "I can't hide it, this woman is from Miao Jiang, named Rouge, proficient in the art of Gu refining, and is one of the key criminals in the red porcelain case, just because she has been unwilling to tell who is behind the scenes, so she has been imprisoned in the prison by this government. ”

King Hyun raised his glass and took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, I see. Dare to conceal the case and not report it, this girl is really lawless, but why should the lord tell this king? But what is there that needs the king's help?"

Bao Zheng hurriedly said: "Bao Zheng remembered that the prince had asked Bao Zheng about people who knew Gu arts, so he thought about coming to the prince to understand the situation, maybe the prince could provide Bao Zheng with some clues." ”

"Well, what does Master Bao want to know?" asked King Xian lazily

"Dare to ask how did the prince know that Kaifeng Mansion was holding a person who knew Gu arts? and the guard who was poisoned by Gu that the prince said last time, can you let Bao Zheng see it?"

King Xian stood up and walked a few steps and said: "This king has encountered an assassination when he was in Shu, this guard is the poison accidentally when protecting this king, fortunately, there was a mysterious woman who gave this king a bottle of antidote, so as to save the guard's life, but, the Gu poison can not be cured in the end, the moon and the moon have regular attacks, seeing that the antidote is about to run out, this time he came to the capital with the king, I wanted to let the imperial doctor take a look, maybe there is a way to prepare the antidote, but unfortunately it was disappointing in the end. ”

"Then how did the prince know that the rouge imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion knew the method of detoxification?"

King Xian smiled and said: "Lord Bao, how could this king know this, this king is just hearsay for a while, so he recklessly found Kaifeng Mansion, and after thinking about it, it was indeed this king who was abrupt." ”

"Then where did the prince hear the news?" asked Bao Zheng without giving up.

King Xian's face couldn't help but sink and said, "Lord Bao, what do you mean by asking this king like this? Could it be that this king will lie to you?"

Bao Zheng bowed and said: "Bao Zheng doesn't dare, it's just that this robbery assassin killed an important person and injured many officials, which is a matter of human life, Bao Zheng has to be cautious, and I also ask the prince to forgive me and tell the source of the news." ”

King Xian sneered and said: "This king is eating tea in the teahouse, I heard what the storyteller said, if Lord Bao doesn't believe it, just catch the storyteller and ask." ”

As soon as Bao Zheng heard King Xian's obviously deceitful remarks, he felt angry in his heart, but it was inconvenient to get angry, so he forced himself to suppress the fire in his heart, and then asked, "Then can the prince let Bao Zheng see the guard?"

King Xian said coldly: "There is no antidote, the guard Gu poison attack a few days ago went, Master Bao is afraid that he will not be able to see it." ”

Bao Zheng saw that the more Xian Wang spoke, the more he didn't like words, and he was obviously perfunctory, so he said: "Rouge and Yue Qi are important people involved in the red porcelain case, and the people behind them are the real culprits of this case. ”

"Bao Zheng, you are presumptuous, this king is just a person who understands witchcraft with you, how can you ever mention the word rouge, you dare to suspect this king without any evidence, do you think this king is easy to bully?"

"Bao Zheng doesn't dare, as long as the prince can tell Bao Zheng, where did the prince know about those things, the prince can clear his suspicions, wouldn't it be good?

"You....good Bao Zheng, you dare to use the emperor to blackmail this king, or this king will go to the Jinluan Palace with you to see how you want to question this king in front of His Majesty. ”

Bao Zheng saw that King Xian was bent on bringing this matter to the emperor, and knew that he must be fully prepared, so he no longer quarreled with him, and after a change of words, he asked again: "Lord, where is the Zhan guard, why has Bao Zheng been here for so long and has not seen him come out?"

Seeing that Bao Zheng's face was calm, King Xian did not panic at all when he was angry, and said secretly: It is said that this Bao Zheng is very bold and not afraid of the powerful, and he is really a difficult character when he sees it today, and he still has to find a way to get rid of this person.

"Zhan Escort trespassed into the king's Five Elements Array for some reason a few days ago, and injured the muscles and bones of his legs, and the king has reconnected the injured bones for him, but if he wants to heal, he will have to carefully cultivate for a few days, and now he is recuperating in the room. King Xian replied to Bao Zheng lightly.

When Bao Zheng heard that Zhan Zhao was injured, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Is Zhan Guard's injury serious?"

King Xian said: "It's okay for Lord Bao to go and see himself, but this king came from the Zhan guard room before, and he has rested after drinking the medicine, Lord Bao is going now, I'm afraid I can't talk to him, it's better to wait for him tomorrow, this king will send him to Kaifeng Mansion to recuperate, what do you think?"

Bao Zheng was anxious to see Zhanzhao's injury, and was about to argue again, when a guard outside the door said that someone from Kaifeng Mansion was looking for Master Bao outside, saying that there was an urgent letter from Kaifeng Mansion and looking for Lord Bao to go back to Kaifeng Mansion to deal with it.

Bao Zheng's heart moved, so he took advantage of the situation and said to the prince: "Since this is the case, Bao Zheng will go back to Kaifeng Mansion first, and after the prince Lao guards are better, he will be sent back to Kaifeng Mansion. ”

King Xian nodded, said 'Don't worry,' and took a step to send Bao Zheng out of the palace.

Back at Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng saw that Lu Fang and the others were waiting in the flower hall, so he asked, "Lu Daxia, have you seen the exhibition guards?"

Lu Fang said with a sad face: "The backyard of King Xian's Mansion is heavily guarded, not to mention the protection of the formation, even if there is no Na Laoshizi, the defense is impregnable, I am ashamed, I really can't get in, and I am afraid of exposing myself, so I have to retreat." We were discussing just now that the second brother would dig a tunnel to enter tonight, and it might work. ”

Bao Zheng frowned and thought for a while and said: "No, you are not familiar with the terrain of Xianwang's Mansion, and if you rush into the tunnel, it is easy to be found out, this method is too risky." ”

Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Then what should I do, don't you care about Brother Zhan?"

Bao Zheng said: "Just now, the government has asked King Xian, and he said that Zhanzhao injured his legs when he broke through the Five Elements Array, and now he has just used medicine, so it is not suitable to move, and he will send Zhan's guards back tomorrow." ”

Gongsun Ce hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen Zhan's guards, and are they seriously injured?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "King Xian blindly obstructs the mansion from seeing Zhanzhao, and the mansion does not know, but since he has promised to send the Zhan guards back tomorrow, we will wait for a day for the time being." ”

As he was talking, Ruoxi took Feifei into the flower hall, and Feifei learned from Ruoxi that they had returned in vain today, so he wanted to ask Bao Zheng if there was any news of Zhanzhao here.

As soon as he entered the flower hall and saw that everyone's faces were solemn, he knew that the situation was not good, Feifei looked at Gongsun Ce, and saw Gongsun Ce shaking his head at her, and his heart panicked, and his eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Bao Zheng hurriedly relieved: "Miss Xue, Zhan's guards have been injured a little, and they are not worried about their lives, and they will be sent back tomorrow, you must not be overly nervous, it is important to take good care of your body." ”

Feifei said, "Where is he injured, is it serious?"

Gongsun Ce said: "I heard that it is two legs, and I won't know until I see the Zhan guards tomorrow." ”

Bao Zheng said: "This government guesses that the Zhan guards must have heard some information that night, so they will venture into the Five Elements Array. ”

Ruoxi nodded and said, "Maybe I just learned the news that the virtuous king and Huang Que were preparing to hijack the prison." ”

Gongsun Ce said, "If this is the case, then how can the virtuous king let the guards come back?"

Bao Zheng said: "What does Mr. Gongsun mean that the virtuous king will do to the Zhan guards?"

Gongsun Ce said: "This is just my speculation, if it is not so, then everything is really as King Xian said, Zhan Guards insist on breaking the Five Elements Array, but, how can such a style of behavior be done by Zhan Guards?"

Feifei listened to Gongsun Ce's analysis, and his heart was even more anxious, he really wanted to see Zhan Zhao immediately, to see how he was injured, and whether King Xian had embarrassed him, thinking of the accident that Zhan Zhao might encounter, Fei Fei sobbed uncomfortably.

Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't say a taste in their hearts, Ruoxi hurriedly helped Feifei back to the room to comfort her, and Lu Fang and the others immediately took their leave and went back.

After Bao Zheng waited for everyone to leave, he said to Gongsun Ce: "What Mr. Gongsun said just now is very true, this mansion went to the Xianwang Mansion today to find out his tone about the robbery of rouge, but he answered without leaking, pushed everything away, and also intended to reason with me in front of the emperor, it can be seen that this person's city is very deep, it seems that the emperor's concerns are right, and King Xian has to guard against it." ”

Gongsun Ce said, "But what exactly did he want? What was the purpose of robbing Rouge at the risk of being exposed?"

Bao Zheng slowly sat back at his desk and fell into deep thought.

The next day, the carriage of King Xian's Mansion slowly stopped in front of the door of Kaifeng Mansion, and the official guarding the door saw that the two palace guards were going to lift the Zhan guards off the car, and they were busy stepping forward to take over the handle.

After Bao Zheng and others heard the report, they hurriedly rushed to Zhanzhao's side, and for a while, there were many people standing in Zhanzhao's hut, and Gongsun Ce kept shaking his head while checking Zhanzhao's pulse.

Feifei asked worriedly on the side, "Mr. Gongsun, what's wrong with Brother Zhan?" ”

Gongsun Ce didn't answer Feifei's question, took the gold needle from the needle box he carried, and gently pierced the knees of Jin Zhao's legs, Zhan Zhao's legs trembled slightly due to pain, Gongsun Ce saw this, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Xin Qi didn't hurt the meridians, and the legs of Zhan Guard's guards were saved." ”

Feifei was anxious to know about Zhanzhao's situation, and urged Gongsun Ce: "Mr. Gongsun, what's wrong with Brother Zhan? Why has he been in a coma?"

Gongsun Ce said: "Zhanzhao's pulse is quite stable, obviously there is no sign of poisoning, but his heartbeat is very slow, but for some reason, his legs were broken due to external forces, but now there are no obvious signs of broken muscles and bones, obviously he was cured by some kind of medicine." The medicine that can reconnect the broken legs, as far as I know, only the Tianshan Bone Paste has this effect, but this medicine has long been lost, could it be that King Xian has this rare medicine?"

With Ruoxi's support, Bai Yutang walked in slowly, and happened to hear Gongsun Ce's analysis, so he said: "It doesn't matter what kind of medicine he is, as long as Zhanzhao's leg is fine, but does this medicine only work for one day? Why don't I go to King Xian's Mansion and steal some more, just in case." ”

Ruoxi glanced at Bai Yutang fiercely and said, "You look like you now, you can get out of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, besides, you are all people who have finally climbed back from the Ghost Gate, what can you do?"

Bai Yutang was robbed of white by Ruoxi, his handsome face was flushed, he only stared at Ruoxi, but he didn't know how to confess, Ruoxi was not afraid of Bai Yutang's counterattack, and he was not to be outdone and glared back at him.

Lu Fang saw that the two of them were staring at each other with such big eyes, and she didn't feel funny, and she felt that in this situation, how could she tolerate these two of them being so angry, so she came out and said: "What Miss Lan said is very true, fifth brother, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and when it comes to stealing things, let's help you do it." ”

Bao Zheng saw that they were in front of him, rightly discussing to steal things, but he frowned, felt quite uncomfortable, and was about to open his mouth to stop them, when the official outside the door came to report that among the people sent by the Xianwang Mansion, someone wanted to give Bao the same thing, Bao Zheng heard it, his heart did not move, and he hurriedly walked out.

After a while, Bao Zheng hurriedly walked back with a cloth bag in his hand, Gongsun Ce took the cloth bag and hurriedly opened it, everyone saw that it was a small blue porcelain box that had been opened, and the seal that was opened was also written with five small characters of white jade bone paste, Bao Zheng handed Gongsun Ce a piece of paper and said: "The guards of the Xianwang Mansion said that the leg injury of the Zhan guards only needs to be treated according to the usage written above, and they can get out of bed and walk around in less than two days, but it will take time to heal." ”

Gongsun Ce opened the lid of the box, picked out some ointment with his fingernail cover and applied it on the back of his hand, a faint fragrance wafted out, and then looked at the color of the ointment on the back of his hand, smooth as jade, faintly full of colorful colors, and hurriedly looked up at Bao Zheng, and said with joy in his eyebrows: "This ointment is the long-lost white jade bone ointment, I didn't expect King Xian to take the initiative to send this ointment, this is really unexpected." ”

Bai Yutang sneered: "So attentive, eighty percent is weak-hearted, no matter what reason Zhan Zhao has, it is inappropriate for him to set up such a sinister formation in the mansion as an idle prince, and now he has almost crippled the four-rank military attache of the imperial court, not to mention that Zhan Zhao is still the emperor's hand-picked royal walk, what he did this time, if it is said that the virtuous king has no intentions, I am afraid that it will not be able to say anything." ”

Bao Zheng listened to Bai Yutang's words, and couldn't help nodding slightly, although this was a bit harsh, but the truth was right, if the virtuous king didn't have any unknown thoughts, why would he protect his palace so tightly as soon as he came to the capital?

Ruoxi didn't know what Bao Zheng was thinking, so he continued to say Bai Yutang's words: "According to what you say, Bacheng is because Brother Zhan knows what secret about that prince, so he was poisoned." ”

When Bao Zheng heard this, he frowned and said, "The details of this matter can only be found when the Zhan guards wake up, Mr. Gongsun, why have the Zhan guards been asleep?"

Gongsun Ce thought for a while and said, "It's not poisoning, it may be the relationship between the medicinal effect, I think it will be a little while, and the Zhan guard should be able to wake up." ”
