Chapter Fifty-Nine: Secret Entry
"You received it too?"
"You got it, too."
In the lush garden, Bai Tao placed the snakeskin paper with the smell of snakefish in his hand on the stone table.
Zheng Guo, who was white-skinned, sat opposite her, and when he heard this, he also took out a piece of snakeskin paper from the placket of his clothes.
[Within one month, escort a hundred boys and girls born on a cloudy day and a moon, and secretly send them to Yongcheng and Qinian Palace. 】
The contents of the two pieces of snakeskin paper on the table are exactly the same as the handwriting, and there is no difference.
Bai Tao said, "That red-haired snake demon, I don't know how to use it, stuffed the centipede and this letter into the cricket jar, and then brought it into the palace and handed it to me."
Zheng Guo frowned, "This is what I found in the belly of the python that broke into my mansion."
"The python's belly was as big as a bulge, and not long after it crawled in, it was stabbed to death by the sharp claws of the beaver in its belly, and my kind will not survive, and this letter leaked out of the python's belly."
To kill Liwei.
Bai Tao pursed her lips tightly: "Send a letter, if you have to be two moths, he just wants to intimidate us."
"He's really good at everything." Zheng Guo held his breath, "What he said last time to keep us useful, is it the same as what the current letter says, let's find him a boy and a girl."
"But what is he looking for a boy or a girl? Or was you born on a lunar day in a lunar year, do you want to have such a heavy yin qi?"
Zheng Guo shook his head, "I don't know."
Bai Tao speculated, "Do you want to practice some exercises? You are old and experienced, do you know what exercises in this world need to be practiced by boys and girls?"
Zheng Guo scratched his head: "It doesn't seem to be, this world talks about a cycle of cause and effect, wantonly killing mortals, monsters will be retributed, and he shouldn't have drunk poisonous wine and thought that his life was too long."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Bai Tao said, "If we really find him a hundred boys and girls, how can it be good if it falls into his hands?"
Zheng Guo continued, "But if you don't look for him." He shook his head, covered his face and said, "Will you sacrifice us to the sky?"
White Peach: "."
Bai Tao let out a demonic breath and patted him on the head, "Don't think about it so much, there is still a month, enough time, but we have to find out what he wants to do first, what he is doing in Yongcheng, and what the boys and girls he wants are used for."
"But he's been in Yongcheng, how do we find out?"
Bai Tao: "Do you remember the last time I told you about the snake leaving the mountain, I asked Keqing Li Si to impeach the red-haired snake demon, he did a good job, and now the entire court is rectifying the extravagant atmosphere, and the red-haired snake demon is now going to enter the palace for interrogation, and it will be the matter of leaving for the next two days."
"Lees?"
Zheng Guo was surprised, "He is my colleague, and I are both foreign courtiers, but he is much more tactful, he speaks without leaking, and he can't get a needle in his body, auntie, how did you convince him to do things for you."
How else can it be convinced?
Of course, if he takes the initiative to climb up, then he will have to pay the price of doing things for himself.
Bai Tao said: "Don't worry about this matter for now, the immediate thing now is that tonight at the latest, we are going to Yongcheng to spy on the truth, are you afraid?"
「… I, I'm not afraid!"
Zheng Guo patted his chest, with a kind of enigmatic confidence, "There is an underground river in Yongcheng, I will take you by water, we can attack and retreat and defend, and if we can't beat it, we can run away."
Bai Tao said coldly, "Snakes can also pour water."
Zheng Guoqiang pretended to be calm and said, "With a smart little fox like you, I'm not afraid!"
Bai Tao squinted his eyes and snorted lightly, raising his chin, "That's right, we can't destroy other people's ambitions and grow our own prestige, you just need to follow me boldly and boldly."
Zheng Guo's eyebrows curled: "Okay!"
Seeing that Zheng Guoxiao's eyebrows were gone, Bai Tao said badly, "I'll sell you again when I get to the place."
「……… Huh."
In the evening, the wind lanterns in the palace are lit like stars in the sky, and the vast sky is shrouded in the boxy Xianyang Deep Palace.
The palace maids ended their busy days, leaving only a few to be on duty under the porch.
Bai Tao pulled Rui'er into the inner hall, closed the door and said to Rui'er, "I may not come back tonight."
"What?"
Rui'er was surprised and raised her voice.
Bai Tao's white fingertips pressed against Sakura's lips, signaling a small sound.
She immediately lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you come back at night, where are you going, what are you going to do, who are you going, who are you going, you won't come back at night, little master, you are a girl's family, what if you meet a bad guy in the middle of the night, little master, don't you go to do anything risky, if you have three long and two short, how can the slave and maid live."
White Peach: "........."
"It's not a risky thing to do."
Bai Tao was relieved, "You also know me, although I am sometimes ignorant, but I also know how to measure."
Rui'er was even more surprised, "Little master, you also know that you are not sensible."
Bai Tao grinded her fox teeth, and she just said casually, this Rui'er wanted to poke her heart, but everyone treated her as a child, and she simply messed around to the end.
Holding her palm, Bai Tao lifted the quilt and ordered, "Lie in."
"Get in."
Rui'er was still stunned, half of her body was pushed by her, half of her body hesitated, and Bai Tao puffed out her face again, "If you don't lie down, I'm going to be angry."
Rui'er had to stiffen into the soft bed.
Bai Tao covered her with the futon, "Turn over, and then pretend that I'm sleeping, I'll go out later, and say I'm sleeping, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb me, you just lie down, understand?" If you dare to sue Brother Zheng, I'll—"
After thinking for a while, Bai Tao planned to scare her, "I won't spoil you, I'll change to a big palace maid."
Rui'er was really apprehensive and funny, "It doesn't matter if you fall out of favor, but you, little master."
Bai Tao interrupted her, and patted her hair bun like Brother Zheng, "You be good, lie down here, I'll come back early."
Rui'er's heart was still up and down, "Your Majesty, your lord, he has the ability of divine martial insight, I'm afraid this trick can't fool him, if he wants to come to the little master's room today, even if he says it's useless."
If it's useless, it's useless, otherwise what else can I do, I can only ride a donkey to read the record book, and read it while riding.
Bai Tao said, "Obedient."
Rui'er: "."
After appeasing Rui'er, Bai Tao went out, pretending to be sleepy and vaguely saying to the palace maid and eunuch who was waiting outside that he was tired of going out to play and was going to bed.
The palace maids and eunuchs did not suspect him, and continued to keep vigil outside with vigor and spirit.
After entering the house, Bai Tao deftly pointed out from the window, her skirt was like a flower blooming from the branches to erosion in the dark night, but the short-lived light and shadow deceived all the top masters in the palace.
After peeling off the layers of sight, Bai Tao walked to a lotus pond and waited.
"Whoa—"
When the water is surging, the dew on the emerald green lotus leaves condenses into a line of sky.
"Tick tock."
Swirling and falling on the water surface of the Tiancheng Algae Mirror, Zheng Guo broke through the water with a lotus flower, throwing out a piece of crystal, and when he saw the white peach on the shore, he showed his white teeth, "Why are you so punctual, didn't King Qin stop you?"
His cheeks were stained with water, and he looked like his muscles and bones were moist, and he shook it again, splashing white peach on his face.
Bai Tao wiped his face and said, "How dare I tell him, lest he ask questions and uncles."
"King Qin, ask the east and the west?"
"Uh-huh."
Zheng Guo himself had also seen the King of Qin several times, and at this time he was doubting that the King of Qin he had seen was not the same king as the King of Qin she was talking about.
The impression of King Qin's cold face and few words is a real sense of nothing and few words, how can he be like an old mother.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Zheng Guo transformed into his original form, turning into a fat, clawless gray-brown beaver
。
Its teeth moved, "Without further ado, let's get on my back, let's hurry up to Yongcheng."
"Okay."
They had to go to Yongcheng to lie down on the way to Xianyang, otherwise, with Chang Yu's powerful ability, it would be a trouble to find that the two little demons under their noses were not there.
Bai Tao did not dare to delay.
Immediately turned into a fox with a fiery red coat, and the three big fluffy tails behind it were loosely dragged on the ground.
Her two fleshy pink paws grabbed the beaver's head and sat on its long, wide tail, "I'm alright, let's go."
As soon as the words fell, the beaver stabbed like a shuttle.
Before the little fox could react, he was caught off guard and poured a big mouthful, "Gollum Purr—"
She was angry and slapped a paw on the beaver's head, and the beaver floated, its eyes twinkling and it was quite sorry.
Bai Tao choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and said, "Can you say it in advance, I'm not a water fox."
"Haven't you never carried a fox," Zheng Guo said nervously, "You stepped on my back, and I always felt a chill in my neck."
The white peach fox was suspicious and pinched his meat: "Hey, do you have a neck?"
Zheng Guo shrank and snorted, "Look closely, there are still some." He looked ahead and said, "Grandma, we're going to cross the Dark River."
There is no land in front, and the beaver is terrifying when he walks on the waterway, and he can't stop it, Rao is white peach is wary, and he still choked on a mouthful of water when he plunged in, "Gollum."
Those who don't know still think that there is some treasure underneath, and they are afraid that others will rob it.
"Purring stinking beaver, you boatman, can you be more steady?"
"Grandma, I was wrong, alas, don't pull your ears, auntie, don't pull your ears."
"Humph! I'll do it."
A fox and a raccoon dog soon passed through the underground dark river, and after the darkness, it was a brilliant galaxy shining overhead, and the vast waves were thousands of miles.
The beaver surfaced, carrying a wet red fox on its back, and sailed away into the distance through the wind and waves.
Yongcheng.
Yongcheng is the old capital of the old Qin people, but also the feelings of the old Qin people, the history of Yongcheng is extremely long, in ancient times, after Yu ruled the water, the world was divided into Kyushu, Yongcheng is one of Kyushu.
The moat river is on the verge of the city, and it is the first barrier against the vicious dogs.
Heaven gave such a contentious fortress to the Qin people, perhaps it was a coincidental arrangement in the dark, but it did create the Qin people's devastating tenacity.
After Bai Tao and Zheng Guo landed on the shore, they shook the water, and their eyes turned to look at the pile of rows and rows of simple and vicissitudes of buildings.
Yongcheng is not as prosperous as Xianyang, and it is forbidden at night, but even if there is no one on the street now, there is a deep hidden shape of red faces and mountains.
It's a city on the water.
The river is like the veins of the earth, the bluestone slabs are covered with thin layers of moss, and the traces of vendors are parked in the middle of the street.
The shore was full of sleeping boats, and the sound of snoring sounded one after another.
It's probably a tired slender man who fell into a sweet dream.
Two green-skinned frogs jumped up and down the steps, and Bai Tao stepped on the stone steps and picked up his tail and twisted it a few times, "Wow-"
As the water dropped, Zheng Guo also twisted his tail and said, "What are we going to do now?"
"Stupid, of course you touched it and saw the rammed earth avenue over there? In the past, this place was the capital of Qin, and it was also built according to the specifications of the capital, so continue to walk or travel in that direction to ensure that you can reach Yongcheng Castle."
Without waiting for Bai Tao to change her tail and twist it, there was movement behind her, and her round fox ears turned and turned her head.
The white peach amber pupils reflected the ship sailing with torches on the water not far away, and wondered, "This is an official ship, why is it still sailing so late, where are they going?"
In the distance, there was the sound of fighting, long and quiet, but the big ship had an unusual noise.
Zheng Guo also saw it
, shook his head, "I don't know."
"Now that the red-haired snake demon controls the entire Yongcheng, this official ship can also do it." The white peach slapped his paws, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
"Howler."
"Poof." "Poof."
After two sounds, there were only two ripples on the surface of the water.
