"Yes, he took advantage of his strength to defeat Wang Chuanyi, and he sat in the position of the imperial doctor, so he was qualified to treat the second prince." He Lingchuan also took a sip of water, "At this time, he will come up with symptomatic therapy, as long as King Hun can get a bright lamp, the second prince's illness will not be a problem." ”

Bright tongue.

The human world is really complicated, but fortunately I am far away, and I only need to tinker with medical skills and research drugs every day.

When Dong Rui heard this, he suddenly said: "Hey, you have analyzed so much, why did the people behind the scenes give the secret method to Imperial Doctor Chen?" Actually, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the original Taiyi? The surname Wang can't be illiterate, right? ”

I still haven't made it clear at all.

"Indeed, it is redundant to deliberately hand it over to Imperial Physician Chen; Even if it is handed over to Wang Chuanyi, the state of Hun will go to Xiaoyao Sect to steal treasures. Well, maybe he understands Imperial Physician Chen's mental methods, or maybe ......" He Lingchuan was also thinking, "Look, what is the difference between Imperial Physician Chen and the other medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau?" ”

"How do I know?" Dong Rui thinks that this topic is wide, "There are too many things that people are different from." ”

"But after Wang Chuanyi's death, Imperial Physician Chen was targeted by other medical officials such as Imperial Physician Liu, at least the famous Imperial Physicians." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "In other words, Imperial Physician Chen is not in the same group as them. ”

"Is there anything wrong with the original Taiyi Wang Chuanyi's group?"

He Lingchuan pondered for a long time before shaking his head: "I can't see it, we know too few clues to piece together the truth." ”

Dong Rui immediately said: "But don't you think that your task can be completed?" ”

He Lingchuan smiled: "It's the same." ”

With that, the two of them went to find the Shadowfang.

……

When the two of them came to the door, they keenly sensed that the atmosphere here of the Shadowfang Guard seemed to be a little strange.

Jin Bai strained his face, and when he saw He Lingchuan, he didn't hide the displeasure in his eyes.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he asked this sentence, He Lingchuan heard a crackling, and there seemed to be other creatures in the room.

Mouse?

No, there seems to be the sound of wings vibrating.

"For the past 10 and a half months, we have always felt targeted. No matter where we go, Julugang or here, there will always be prying eyes in the dark. ”

With that, Kimber walked to the corner and lifted a black cloth.

There's an iron cage down there!

The long cage, less than two feet square, held two oily and slippery blackbirds, but with white bellies.

The beaks are tied with ropes, presumably because the Shadowfang guards think they are too noisy.

One of the wings was broken.

"Brown crow?" He Lingchuan is not a bird watching enthusiast, but these things are everywhere in the country of Bega, and he has not dealt with them less, so he can recognize them at a glance.

"Xuncheng is full of these things! At first they stalked us and sneaked around, but recently they have become more and more daring, and they are openly standing on the branches and watching! Jin Bai said with a calm face, "We have caught a few of them, but they are not monsters, so we can't speak." ”

In a group like this, there are probably only one or two youkai among them, and the rest are ordinary animals, but the whole race will follow the instructions of the youkai.

Han Kun said on the side: "The Swift messenger who sent a letter to and from my country was intercepted by these guys halfway, but fortunately we found it." ”

Jin Bai and Mu Guo are too far apart, so they can only use birds to send letters. If these brown crows keep an eye on them all day long and block the empty road, then their connection with Mu Guo will be forced to be cut off.

Han Kun hated and said: "Sure enough, it is the Hunwang Court who is a thief!" ”

If you don't want to be thieves, why do you send brown crows to stare at them?

"We set a trap, and the two leading monsters were finally caught by us." Jin Bai pointed to the caged birds, "They claim to work for the royal court, specializing in spying on intelligence and tracking political opponents. About half a month ago, they received a task to keep an eye on our group, heh, spies! ”

"Who's giving the order?"

"The Hunwang Court has an organization that specializes in dealing with youkai, called the Hui Yu Division." Kimber sneered, "I ask them, how could Hui Haji notice us?" They said that we were in and out of the city frequently, that we were in contact with the rebels, and that we were constantly moving around the palace of the king. ”

Dong Ruiqi said: "Rebels? Are you still dealing with the rebels? ”

This is a taboo thing, and no monarch can tolerate it, even if they are the shadow guards of the Mu country.

"Groundless!" Kimber shook his head, "I don't even know who the rebels are. Ask the two crows, they don't know the details. ”

He Lingchuan muttered, "Is it really the Hun Palace? ”

"There are two brothers in the team who have an argument with me, and they want to go to the Hun Palace......" Jin Bai's face sank like water, "By the way, is there something wrong with Mr. He looking for me?" ”

In the face of the Cloud Turner, he still maintained restraint and politeness.

Jin Bai also said it nicely, why take a trip to the palace of the king, and clearly want to go in and steal the heart lamp. He Lingchuan laughed: "Yes, we have progressed." ”

Then, he told Imperial Physician Chen about the secret method, and then said: "I used some means, but Imperial Physician Chen was ignorant when he confessed, and he only thought that he was dreaming, so he would not report it to the top." ”

"Mr. He is clever and has helped us a lot!" The more he listened, the more energetic he became, and he couldn't sit still any longer, and walked back and forth in the house a few times.

Dong Rui asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Imperial Physician Chen's identity must be controlled."

"Hey, how did they steal the lantern? This matter has not yet come to light. ”

"It doesn't matter!" Jin Bai didn't think twice, "As long as Imperial Doctor Chen is here, it can be proved that the Hunguo has indeed stolen our tribute!" ”

For their escorts, the process is not important, the result and the conclusion are the most important.

As long as you are sure that the heart lamp is really in the country, it will be enough!

He Lingchuan asked him, "And then?" Do you have to wait for further instructions from Emperor Mu? ”

Jin Bai paced back and forth in the room for a few steps: "The Hun Kingdom has taken away the bright lantern from us, and sent the brown crow to spy on us, so I don't think it will leave us time to take it in stride. Even if we control Imperial Physician Chen, we can't help them kill them, and then kill Imperial Physician Chen. ”

He looked at He Lingchuan and said word by word:

"With Imperial Physician Chen as a witness, I also want to infiltrate the palace, snatch back the heart lamp, and then leave from Julu Harbor!"

"Breaking into the palace and stealing is a felony in any country. Even if you were originally a bitter master, you can't explain what you did. He Lingchuan frowned, "Now that the bright lantern has been refined into a heart lamp, even if it is taken back to your country, is it still useful?" ”

“……”

"After all, the wood is already in the boat, and if the heart lamp is useless, the emperor may not want to take it back; If it is useful, the burden on your body will be heavy under the Golden Command. ”

If Emperor Mu really wants to get back the heart lamp, Mu Guo and Jin Bai will have to take action.

"Let me ask you again, after snatching back the heart lamp, will Mu Guo not pursue this matter?"

Kimber's lips pursed tightly.

What Emperor Mu wants is a bright lantern originally produced by Xiaoyao Sect's Great Snow Mountain, not a refined heart lamp!

He snatched the heart lamp back, can he calm Emperor Mu's anger?

Kimber has no bottom in his heart.

But he infiltrated the Hun Wangting to steal things, and Mu Guo pursued the theft of tribute in the future, and the Hun Wangting was likely to be beaten up.

Because the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, long-distance diplomacy between countries sometimes has to talk about the word "reason".

He has been serving Emperor Mu for many years, and he knows that what He Lingchuan said is true.

To serve the emperor's family, you have to take care of countless details.

I have stepped into the mud pit on this trip to receive the tribute, don't think about going back clean.

The difference is only in how to obtain leniency from Emperor Mu and make himself less punished.

He Lingchuan sympathized with him: "From the moment the lantern was stolen, you were doomed to be in a dilemma. Unless the tribute is not in your hands. ”

Jin Bai sighed: "So, do we want to submit an official document to the Hunwang Court, asking them to return the Heart Lamp?" ”

"Yes." He Lingchuan smiled, "Instead of going into the palace to steal, it's better to go into the palace and ask!" If you ask to see the king of Hun in the name of a foreign envoy, and say that the tribute of Mu is stolen, and ask him to return the bright lantern, you see how he reacts. ”

"You ask for the lamp in person, and King Hun will definitely give you an explanation. Whether he agrees or not, it is a definite statement, and you can return to the emperor. ”

Jin Bai patted his head: "What Mr. He said is true!" I didn't even think of this path. ”

Shadowfang has done a lot of things in secret, and he has never thought of negotiating foreign affairs at all.

He was embarrassed: "None of us have ever been foreign envoys, so we are not familiar with this process." Don't bother the two masters, cough, or Mr. He, you, you will do it for you, right? ”

In the past few days of acquaintance, he saw that He Lingchuan was thoughtful, articulate, and reacted quickly. Besides, can the foreign aid invited by the Kingdom Master be mediocre?

The dignified Shadow Tooth Guard and Deputy Capital all opened their mouths for help, and He Lingchuan didn't seem to have any difficulty after thinking about it, so he agreed.

Kimberly was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. He!" ”

Back at his residence, Dong Rui sighed again: "Hey, we can't go again?" Originally, your mission was done. ”

He Lingchuan's next task was to find out the whereabouts of the bright lantern.

As soon as Imperial Physician Chen confessed, the facts became very clear, the bright lantern was stolen by the Hun Kingdom and refined into a heart lamp.

This thing is in the palace of King Hu, so He Lingchuan's task has been completed.

As for what Mu Guo plans to do next, what does this matter to him?

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Don't worry, anyway, the other tasks assigned by Fang Canran are not in a hurry." ”

There is a reason why he can't say it to Dong Rui:

In the case involving the bright lantern, he didn't want to let go yet.

One hundred and fifty or sixty years ago, Shao Jian rushed to the Shining Gold Plain to find a beacon for General Red to help her fight against her ambitions.

The lantern matures in thirty years.

In terms of time, the bright lanterns on the snowy mountains were not in the picking period at that time. Therefore, if Shao Jian wants to get the bright lantern, he should have to go through other people's inventory.

In real history, he probably got it. Because He Lingchuan had a conversation with Naluotian's clone, he learned that in the final battle of Panlong City, General Hong did not have a heavenly breath.

Narokuten's conclusion is that General Red has broken the Divine Seal mark in the sea of knowledge, and he is no longer the skin of the sky.

Is her success due to the light of the light?

He was eager to explore the secrets of the bright lantern and wondered why both the Red General and the Mu Kingdom needed this treasure.

"Entering the palace now, the risk is not small, right?" Dong Rui said politely, "Will the Hun State deal with the Mu State envoy?" ”

The words are divided into two ends. If King Hu hadn't stolen the lantern, he would have been arrogant, and he should not mind seeing the envoy of Mu State. He Lingchuan raised a second finger, "If the bright lantern is really stolen by King Hu, as long as Mu envoys come to the door, it means that their deeds have been revealed, and Mu Guo is clear about their deeds!" In this case, there is no need for King Hun to kill people. ”

"Therefore, no matter whether King Hun steals the lantern or not, he should not attack the envoy of the Mu State."

Should.

He can only deduce from logic.

If the King of Hun is a madman and doesn't play his cards according to common sense, then this matter has to be said separately.

There are no absolutes, and it is impossible to eliminate all risks. Besides, He Lingchuan also prepared a few back hands, so he could run if he couldn't beat it.

The task has been carried out here, He Lingchuan doesn't mind that Lingshan and Mu Guo owe him another favor, and it should be an unexpected gain.

There are too many entanglements with each other, and it's not so easy to turn their faces in the future, isn't it?

In the evening, the sunset turns the whole city crimson. He Lingchuan strolled through the streets and alleys, and saw a weak rose emerging from the broken wall, and the white-clothed yellow stamen swayed out of the sorrowful beauty in the slanting sun and evening breeze.

……

The next morning, He Lingchuan, Dong Rui and Jin Bai visited Cao Guoke, explained their intentions and submitted the talisman.

Jin Bai accompanied him into the palace because He Lingchuan himself was not from Mu Guo, so he could not use Mu Guo's official card to prove his identity.

Mu is a big country in the world, and the local officials have also heard about it, and when they saw the light on the official plate of Jin Bai, they immediately asked the mission to take a break, and Ke Cao quickly reported it.

Two hours later, the Mu delegation was welcomed into the palace.

The big country has face, and even if an envoy suddenly comes to visit, he can be immediately received by the king of Hu.

It is said that it was built 80 years ago, but it was half-destroyed in the war twice, and subsequent dynasties have repaired it to show the strength and majesty of the country.

The most recent renovation was completed only five years ago.

In this season, the palace is full of plants and trees, flowers, and peace and wealth, and the city of Xun outside the high walls seems to be two worlds.

But in the beauty, there is some decadence that can't be hidden. This also reminded He Lingchuan of the court of the Kite Kingdom.

Dong Rui looked left and right along the way, full of vigilance.

They are asking to see them in the bright light, cough, they are also in danger in person, will the king of Hun be a thief and arrange for a knife and axe hand to chop them into meat sauce on the way?

Although He Lingchuan thought that this possibility was extremely small, Dong Rui always felt that this palace was too gloomy, diluting the freshness of his first act as an envoy of a great power.

Thankfully, it never happened.

Walking into the deep palace, they finally saw the main master.

King Hun is very thin, his face is long and widowed, his eyes are slightly gloomy, his beard is half white, and he has some momentum that is not angry and arrogant.

It's the height of summer now, but in this deep palace, in the depths of the sea of phoenix flowers that are blooming like fire, there is still a trace of coolness.

King Hun also had to put a thin embroidered gold blanket on his knees.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui entered the hall and saluted him as messengers, and his first order was:

"Look."

Because the envoy was not searched, the hall was full of guards, and the armor was like that.

Tingwei handed over the brocade stool, He Lingchuan thanked him, and sat down at the next big lama outside the two zhang of King Hu.

Except for Dong Rui and Han Kun standing behind him, the rest of the envoys had to wait in the side hall.

King Hun coughed, and sat up straight on the armrest.

As soon as he leaned forward, a palace person hugged him and put him on his lower back:

"You have come all the way and worked hard. Why did Mu Guo remember me? ”

"Our Shadow Fang Guard escorted a tribute back from the Xiaoyao Sect, and it was suddenly stolen in Julu Harbor." King Hun asked politely, and He Lingchuan was also concise and to the point, without a word of nonsense, "We followed the clues to find your country, and we actually heard that this thing is in the palace." ”

When King Hun heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Tribute? What tribute did Mu Guo lose? ”

The Mu Guardian has lost something on his turf and can ask the host for assistance.

"Bright lantern." He Lingchuan threw out these three words, and carefully observed King Hu's reaction.

The old man's eyes widened, and the scales were raised three degrees: "What did you say?" ”

"Forty-seven days ago, the tribute lantern escorted by the Shadowfang Guard was stolen." He Lingchuan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, "As of today, it is still under investigation." ”

The heart lamp is of great significance to King Hun now, and He Lingchuan must be careful in his words.

King Xun suddenly said, "How do you know that the lantern is in the palace?" ”

He Lingchuan said softly: "The condition of the second prince of Hun has improved because of the heart lamp, and the heart lamp is made of bright lamps, which is not difficult to check. ”

He didn't mention Imperial Doctor Chen at all, but gave King Hu a trick.

King Hun suddenly laughed loudly and slapped the armrest several times in a row.

In the main hall, his laughter echoed for a while.

"Bright lantern?" He laughed a few times, "The bright lantern is a tribute from the Mu Kingdom?" ”

He Lingchuan's voice was calm, but he was not overshadowed by his laughter:

"Exactly!"

"What did you find?" King Hun stopped laughing, slapped the handrail and said sharply, "You lost the bright lantern, and my son used the heart lantern, so you think that I stole the tribute of Mu Guo?" ”

The second prince of the Hun Kingdom got better from his insaneness, and this happy event was known to the whole country, but Mu Guo came to the door to slander him for stealing tribute?

His eyes were ruthless, and the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop by several degrees.

Dong Rui's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that this old guy is like an old wolf, although his fur is white and his teeth are lost, he is as fierce as he was back then. He began to calculate, if he made a move, where would it be better to break through?

Eighty percent of the formations here are forbidden to escape techniques, so the snail toad can't use it.

Seeing that King Hun was angry, He Lingchuan said gently: "Perhaps, there is some misunderstanding in it?" ”

He couldn't say, "Yes, that's what we think."

"The lantern is ripe every thirty years. Dare to ask where the bright lantern used in your country comes from? ”

The most important purpose for him to enter the palace today is to ask about the origin of the Qingming lantern.

King Hun didn't smile: "My son uses medicine, I don't need to steal or rob." The lantern was bought at the expense of our country. ”

These words were really unexpected, and He Lingchuan and Dong Rui's first reaction was four words:

Sling the bull.

Can you still buy this thing?

"Within a radius of thousands of miles, the Bright Lantern Grass only grows on the Snow Peak of the Xiaoyao Sect, right?" He Lingchuan had no choice but to say, "There is only one bright light grass growing on the huge snow peak. ”

This thing is unique everywhere, even in ancient times, only one tree will grow within a radius of thousands of miles, and the specific reason is unknown. To this day, I don't know where there is anything other than Xiaoyao Sect.
