Backer Gate.

Qin Lan stayed in the Peach Valley, looking at the recent output of spirit stones and pills.

Although Shi Shuangye ordered all the things to be sent to Chang'an City, he still kept an eye on it, sending two-thirds of the treasures to Chang'an, leaving one-third to hide in case of emergency.

There are many sects in the Stone Kingdom that are rich in spirit stones and pills, and even the imperial court controls some spiritual veins and produces spirit stones in a big way.

But when it comes to the quality of the spirit stone, it is still the most outstanding backing door.

As for the pills, the pills refined by the Dan masters of the mountain gate are already a must.

But all monks, the most favorite is the spirit stone and pill of the mountain gate.

After stabilizing, the output of spirit stones and pills from the mountain gate basically returned to its previous level.

In addition to the ones sent to Chang'an City, there are also a lot of stocks left.

Qin Lan always believed that one day, Shi Shuangye would need these treasures.

Once the supply of spirit stones and pills exceeds the supply, it can easily lead to nationwide turmoil.

This kind of thing has happened more than once in the history of Shiguo.

Shi Shuangye has not experienced it, and he should have seen it in the classics, so he should be on guard, not unprepared.

Bang bang bang.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Qin Lan's thoughts.

"Who?" Qin Lan got up and walked to the door.

Outside the door, Wei Xiaobao's voice came: "Brother Qin, it's me." ”

Qin Lan's face changed drastically, and he quickly returned to the table, pressed the booklets that recorded the output of spirit stones and pills under the calligraphy and paintings, and then ran to open the door.

The moment he opened the door, Wei Xiaobao saw Qin Lan's face flushed, and joked, "Brother Qin's house is hiding a girl?" ”

The Overseer laughed. Qin Lan looked embarrassed.

Except for Shi Shuangye, he was not interested in any other woman.

If he wanted to, he could naturally find many women to come to this Peach Valley, and I believe they would be very willing.

Wei Xiaobao walked into the room, glanced everywhere, and asked with a smile: "Brother Qin in the middle of the day is closed in the daytime, it's very abnormal?" ”

Even at night, Qin Lan rarely closes the door early, and only closes the door before she is ready to go to bed.

"Recently, I have been infected with wind cold, and the doctor said that I am less affected by the wind, cough cough ......" Qin Lan said at the end, and deliberately coughed twice.

The meaning of pretending is very obvious.

But Wei Xiaobao is too lazy to ask, everyone will have their own little secrets.

After all, Qin Lan is an energetic young man, and he doesn't like to mess around with women, so it's normal to relax occasionally.

"Is Frostleaf alright?" Wei Xiaobao chose to get straight to the point.

Qin Lan said: "She should be very busy, after all, if she wants to rebuild the imperial capital in Eagle Claw Pass, there will be a lot of things that she needs to do personally." ”

Qin Lan knew in her heart that Wei Xiaobao was here because Shi Shuangye did not reply to Wei Xiaobao and the others.

Normally, no matter how busy Shi Shuangye is, it is impossible to be so busy that he doesn't even have the time to reply to the letter.

Either something happened to Shi Shuangye, or Shi Shuangye didn't want to reply.

In Wei Xiaobao's view, nine times out of ten it is the former.

It is impossible for Shi Shuangye to know that Shi Dongqing has been executed, and naturally there is no possibility of ignoring them, only if something happened to her, there is no way to reply to them.

If Qin Lan insisted on preventing lying, it meant that Qin Lan was probably involved in something as well.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Qin Lan with a smile, and only asked after a while, "Brother Qin, are you so busy that you can't write a reply?" ”

"Back to the Overseer, I have never been an emperor." Qin Lan felt that the king of a country was undoubtedly the busiest person in the country.

But if you are so busy that you can't reply to the old man, I'm afraid that you won't last a few days and you will die violently.

It's really hard to fool Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "That's it, what is the truth, when I get to Eagle Claw Pass, I will know." ”

"Overseer, the teleportation circle of Eagle Claw Pass has just been completed, and it is still very unstable, so far we only teleport objects, and we haven'......t tried it yet," Qin Lan wanted to ask Wei Xiaobao to wait.

But he immediately thought that some of the teleportation circles at the backing gate, after arriving at a place, only needed to be arranged correctly, and they could be put into use immediately.

The so-called instability is deceiving people when you hear it.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "No, I went over by myself, and it wasn't necessarily slower than the teleportation circle." ”

With Wei Xiaobao's skills, if he wants to go to the Eagle Claw Pass, if he doesn't use the teleportation array, the speed may really be comparable to the teleportation array.

"Overseer, the matter has come to this, I won't hide it from you, in fact, it is Frost Leaf who is preparing a surprise for you, so I decided not to contact you for the time being, and when the surprise is ready, I will naturally ......" Qin Lan sighed, seemingly reluctant to say this.

Wei Xiaobao frowned and said: "Frost Leaf can reply to the letter and let us know that she is doing well, as for the surprise you said, don't mention it in the letter." ”

Qin Lan's body trembled, not knowing how to answer.

After all, what Wei Xiaobao said was right, it was impossible to choose to disappear first because he wanted to surprise the other party.

Wei Xiaobao's face was as cold as frost, his eyes were terrifying, and he said coldly: "Brother Qin, I treat you as a friend, if you want to treat me as an enemy, then I can accept it." ”

Qin Lan was very embarrassed, but if he wanted to meet the anger from Wei Xiaobao, it seemed that he was a little unbearable.

"That's right, Overseer." Qin Lan said and turned around and walked to the bookshelf on the side, and pulled out a few letters from a book.

Those letters were all written by Shi Shuangye to Qin Lan.

In the letter, what Shi Shuangye said was exactly the same as Qin Lan's explanation just now.

Qin Lan said what Shi Shuangye mentioned in the letter, but Wei Xiaobao didn't believe it, which made Qin Lan unable to respond, so he had to take out Shi Shuangye's letter to prove that he was not lying.

Wei Xiaobao was not familiar with Shi Shuangye's handwriting, so he frowned and asked, "Brother Qin, is this really Shuangye's handwriting?" ”

"It should be." Qin Lan didn't know much about Shi Shuangye's handwriting, but he had seen Shi Shuangye's handwriting, and it should look similar.

But to distinguish the authenticity of the handwriting, you still have to get what Shi Shuangye wrote to compare it to know it.

Talking to Qin Lan about this now is obviously a waste of time.

Wei Xiaobao's body flickered, and he had already disappeared from Qin Lan's face.

Qin Lan had no chance to stop it.

The next moment.

Wei Xiaobao had already appeared at Eagle Claw Pass.

Eagle Claw Pass, as in the past, is very prosperous.

Since Shi Shuangye decided to transform this place into the imperial city of Shi Guo, Eagle Claw Pass has developed very rapidly.

Today, the population of Eagle Claw Pass has exceeded that of before.

Many of the wastelands have also been built with beautiful houses.

Even the Qinglou is several more, which makes the men of Eagle Claw Pass feel very happy.

The point is that these newly opened green houses are affordable, and the girls are young and beautiful, and they want to go when they are called.

Wei Xiaobao did not linger on the streets, but went straight to the palace built by Shi Batian.

Outside the palace, there are guards with knives everywhere, and the garrison is extremely strict.

When I came to the emperor's bedroom, there were only some palace maids busy inside, and there were no stone frost leaves.

Wei Xiaobao stopped a palace maid and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Shi Shuangye?" ”

"Who are you, who dare to call Your Majesty by his name?" The palace maid was frightened, but she still had the courage to ask.

Looking at Wei Xiaobao's dress, he doesn't look like a person from Shiguo.

Wei Xiaobao's face sank, and he asked again, "What about Shi Shuangye?" ”

The voice was as cold as ice, seeping straight into the heart of the palace maid.

The palace maid's body trembled violently, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has gone hunting." ”

Hunt?

Just moved from Stone Town to Eagle Claw Pass, and went hunting?

It's not like Stone Frost Leaf's style.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it and asked, "Where to hunt?" ”

"Slaves, slaves don't know." The palace maid replied in a trembling voice.

She is just an ordinary palace maid, she cleans and scrubs here every day, and she can know that His Majesty is out hunting, and she also knows it from other palace maids.

Wei Xiaobao sighed, and then asked, "How long have you been away?" ”

"Eight or nine days." The palace maid wasn't sure, anyway, she hadn't seen the stone frost leaf for eight or nine days.

That is, Shi Shuangye must not have returned to the palace yet, otherwise, Shi Shuangye would definitely go back to the palace at night to sleep.

Wei Xiaobao went to several people again, and the news he learned was similar to what the palace maid said.

But there is a palace maid among them, but she knows that the place where Shi Shuangye hunts is in the Wild Wolf Mountain outside the Eagle Claw Pass.

Standing on the high wall of Eagle Claw Pass, you can clearly see the Wild Wolf Mountain.

It is rumored that there are many wolves on the wild wolf mountain, and many hunters like to go there to hunt wolves, some hunters will return with a full load, and some hunters will leave their lives there.

Wei Xiaobao didn't hesitate anymore and went to Wild Wolf Mountain.

But the whole Wolf Mountain is very quiet.

Not to mention the hunting team of Stone Frost Leaf, there is no trace of even the wolf.

The so-called stone frost leaves go hunting, which is obviously a lie.

It is highly likely that the Stone Frost Leaf is in danger.

If that's the case, then whoever has the final say in Eagle Claw Pass is the guy who calculates Stone Frost Leaf.

When he returned to the city again, Wei Xiaobao did not enter the palace, but came to the noodle stall on the street.

It was almost noon, and the business of the noodle stall was booming.

People who have been busy for a long time eat a bowl of noodles at noon and can work energetically in the afternoon.

"I heard that Qin Guo has come in again?"

"But isn't it, Your Majesty has just arrived at Eagle Claw Pass, and you have to go to the frontier with General Wei."

"Speaking of Your Majesty, a young and beautiful little girl, can she really make us live a good life?"

A group of people who came to eat noodles chatted gossiply while waiting.

Stone Frost Leaf went to the southern frontier?

Even if the Qin State invades, it is enough to have Wei Lan to go, and Shi Shuangye is at this juncture, there is no need to drive the expedition in person.

She has been on the run for many years, and she has just ascended the throne as the emperor, and her foundation has not yet been established, so it is not appropriate to stay away from the imperial capital.

But if Shi Shuangye really went to the battlefield, why did she lie that she went hunting?

Such a lie can be easily punctured, and it is simply meaningless.

Who knows what's going on in Shi Frost Ye's head?

But there is another strange point, Wei Xiaobao is difficult to figure out.

Since Shi Shuangye went on an expedition to the south, who was the person who wrote a reply to Qin Lan?

The letter Qin Lan received recently came from three days ago.

Stone Frost Leaf had left Eagle Claw Pass at least eight or nine days ago.

"I don't know if that little girl will come back alive this time." An old man looked at the steaming noodles that had just been served, and his face was melancholy.

One of the people on the left asked curiously, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, some things can be said, some things can't be said, my old man still wants to live a few more years." After the old man finished speaking, he began to eat noodles with his head bowed.

But his words had already aroused the interest of the rest of the people.

Those people, you say a word, I say a word, chase the old man and ask.

The old man seemed impatient, but he didn't bother to take care of it, so he could only quickly pull the noodles.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobao's noodles were also served.

Seeing that old man eating fast, Wei Xiaobao also ate quickly.
