Chapter 17: The Princess's Mansion (1)
The bustling shouts were completely different from the bustle of Xiaojiashan Village and Chengshi County, and many of the people who came and went were dressed in silk clothes.
This is the imperial city of the mortal world today.
"The demonic aura in this imperial city really stinks." Yuan Rou pinched her nose and looked in disgust in the direction where the demonic energy was most intense.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the current imperial city is no different from the previous imperial city, but in the eyes of cultivators, the streets and alleys of the capital are full of monstrous and rich demonic energy, and many mortals are more or less contaminated with some demonic energy.
And the source of demonic energy.........
Yu Shengsheng looked at the mansion in some surprise, the black demonic qi had already encountered a little bit of light. Such a strong demonic aura was not only her, but also unheard of by the five people present.
Maybe the demonic qi in the demon cave will be ten thousand times richer than this, but it is the demon cave, this is the mansion of ordinary mortals, and there is no comparison between the two at all.
This level of demonic energy is really unreasonable here. Yu Shengsheng couldn't figure out why it was here. If the demonic energy appeared in the palace, then she could still understand it. The true dragon breath carried by the Son of Heaven is given by the Heavenly Dao, and it has a great tonic effect on cultivators and demons.
However, if the True Dragon Breath is moved, it will definitely have an irreparable impact on the path of cultivation, and no cultivator will risk being hated by the Heavenly Dao to absorb the True Dragon Breath.
The group was also like an aftermath, and they didn't understand it when they thought about it.
Zhao Shanhe shook the folding fan and said, "Let's go, now take a turn in this imperial city and see if there are any clues." ”
*
In the evening, several people returned to the inn back and forth.
Yun Ji asked, "How?" ”
Today, several people were divided into groups, Ning Chengen went alone to search for news from Wuyuan, and Yun Ji and Zhao Shanhe, Yu Shengsheng and Yuan Rou were divided into two groups to explore all kinds of news in the city.
Yu Shengsheng didn't ink, and said: "Today, Yuan Rou and I followed the demonic qi to explore, and that mansion was the mansion of the prime minister of the dynasty. ”
"Prime Minister?" Several of us had heard of this term not long ago.
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Yes, it is the mansion of the champion in Xiaojiashan Village." ”
Yu Shengsheng inquired that the champion was named Yan Ju, who had been in the office for three years, and it took only one year to be appointed as the prime minister by His Majesty, and the smoothness of his career was staggering. And two years ago, His Majesty referred to the second princess as Yan Ju's wife. Yan Ju's status in the palace has risen, and he has become the most popular person around His Majesty, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.
She frowned, and then said: "It's strange to say, just a few days before Xiaojiashan Village was hit by the insect plague, that Yan Ju didn't go to the court because of illness, and he hasn't been there yet. If you can enter the princess's mansion and see Yan Ju, it can solve a lot of things. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Shanhe smiled as if he was interested.
The aftermath followed his eyes, and the white robe that had not changed for ten thousand years was replaced by a black one. The placket was embroidered with gold threads, and a pair of thin lips looked at her with a smile, a little indifferent for no reason. This appearance is very different from the gentle gentleman Zhao Shanhe in the mouth of the cultivation realm, but Yu Shengsheng feels that this is Zhao Shanhe's original face, although he is what everyone looks like from beginning to end in the book.
Zhao Shanhe said leisurely: "I have a way to enter the princess's mansion, and the way is ......."
He paused, met Yu Shengsheng's confused gaze, and did not speak for a while.
Yu Shengsheng frowned: "? ”
Then what do you say, what is the sale? But these words, Yu Shengsheng only dared to think in his heart, if he really said it, Zhao Shanhe would definitely retaliate against him, not to mention that he wanted to kill her in the first place.
The dim candle flame reflected on the faces of the two, and the cool breeze swept through her hair, bringing bursts of fragrance, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
"Why didn't Senior Brother say it?" Yun Ji broke the silence and looked at Zhao Shanhe with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly realized that he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve and put it on the table, saying, "Senior brother, if you don't remember, then I'll tell you!" Today, when my senior brother and I went to investigate, we saw this medical notice posted in the princess's mansion. said that someone in the house had a strange disease, and he couldn't solve it after looking for many Langzhong. If someone can solve it, the princess's mansion will give that person a promise within her ability. ”
Yunji's eyes were shining, and his face was full of pride. I don't know when the notice was lifted by him, and it kept dangling in front of several people's eyes.
Yu Shengsheng remembered a golden retriever that he had raised before, and he also had such sparkling eyes, seeking praise.
……
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the notice in his hand shook faster and faster.
The dim light and the rapidly shaking paper made Yu Shengsheng's eyes hurt, and she pressed Yunji's hand: "So, then we'll go and see it tomorrow." ”
"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go to sleep first."
After saying that, he greeted a few people and went back to his room.
But where do cultivators need to sleep, this is just a rhetoric that they want to leave, and a few people don't break it, but also nod.
Yuan Rou looked at the stupid Yunji helplessly holding his forehead, slapped the back of Yunji's head with his thin hand, and scolded angrily: "Idiot! ”
Yun Ji touched the place where he had been beaten by Yuan Rou, and rarely frowned and complained: "Senior sister, what are you doing to beat me?" ”
She patted Yun Ji's shoulder with a smile: "Senior Brother Yun is now more than a hundred years old, don't talk about couples, there is not even a female cultivator who loves you around, it is better to think about why this is so." ”
After speaking, Yuan Rou and Ning Chengen left the room together.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled: "Literally." ”
Yun Ji looked at the backs of a few people in the distance, looking at himself in the bronze mirror, the three courts and five eyes were very Zhou Zheng, and this face was also considered to be at the forefront of the cultivation realm, "Could it be that my junior sister is jealous of my handsomeness?" ”
*
Early the next morning, several people changed their clothes and went to the princess's mansion.
In front of the princess's mansion, there were a large number of people, including long-haired old men and young and strong young men, and their eyes were confident. In the same way, every short while, there are also depressed people who come out of the princess's mansion.
The people in line were all whispering, and Yu Sheng learned a lot of information from them.
The sick person in the princess's mansion is the prime minister who has been sick for a long time and has not been in the court. Listening to them, Yan Ju's hands appeared one after another wounds the size of a needle's eye at some point, at first it was only one or two, Yan Ju only thought that the princess's embroidery needle was not put away. But after that, there were more and more needles on the hand, until some time ago, the body was densely covered with large and small needles. If there is only an eye, it is enough, the slightest blood is still overflowing from that eye, it is okay not to wipe it, if it is wiped, the blood will flow even more, but the strict sentence can only prohibit anyone to touch him, even the princess slept in a separate bed with him.
Wounds with the size of a needle......
Zhao Shanhe was dressed in a black robe, which looked no different from yesterday's one, but a closer look showed that the gold silk pattern on today's piece was more detailed, and a phoenix was embroidered on it. The phoenix embroidered with gold and red thread is vivid, as if it is about to leap out of its sleeve and soar into the air. The mortal phoenix always represents women, but Zhao Shanhe's dress is not only feminine, but also makes him warm and moist and flat.
"Senior sister, do you have an idea?"
Yu Shengsheng shook his head, this information alone can't explain anything, and the details will not be clear until he sees the prime minister himself.
Fortunately, they were soon there, and the servant led them to the door of a house. A gorgeously dressed woman stood at the door in front of the door, looking at the anticipation after Lang Zhong went in and the loss after Lang Zhong came out and shook his head.
I think the woman is Zhao Yuanling, the second princess of the dynasty.
When the princess saw people coming, she cleaned up her manners and looked at them with a smile, her gaze swept over the faces of the group, and finally stopped at Zhao Shanhe.
To be precise, it is the clothes mountain of Zhao Shanhe.
The aftermath moved down her line of sight, and she heard the princess ask, "This dress is a piece of Jinniang?" ”
