The moment he passed through the city gate, dozens or hundreds of divine senses immediately swept through Ling Xiao's body, and a small part even implied provocation.

Ling Xiao smiled disappreciably and headed straight to the palace.

According to the law of Long Xing, foreign officials should report to the Ministry of Officials as soon as they enter Beijing and wait for the emperor to summon them. Because Ling Xiao was a military general, and he went to Beijing to ask for guilt, he had to go to the military department to temporarily hand over the military power.

After noon, I walked west, and after a while, I arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

reported, played, and then went to the military department to hand over the military power, Ling Xiao relied on the reputation accumulated in the past to go all the way without any hindrance.

After a few hours, he completed the process, and after that, he just had to wait.

If the emperor is not busy, or your affairs are more urgent, then soon the emperor will look for you.

When he walked out of the palace, Ling Xiao inquired about the location of Tao Mingqian's mansion by the way, and planned to pay a visit.

Unexpectedly, Tao Mingqian's Taishi Mansion was not located near the main trunk of the spiritual veins in Dragon City, but in a corner of the East City, in a remote corner.

"It's weird."

Ling Xiao muttered to himself.

With Tao Mingqian's powerful position, he can completely win the spiritual vein next to the palace. Even if he himself is old and doesn't need it, he can bless future generations.

"What's weird?"

A soft and melodious woman's voice suddenly came from the side.

Ling Xiao sighed: "Miss Song, you will be scared to death if you suddenly run out like this!" ”

He looked back and couldn't help but be stunned.

Song Lu actually showed her true face, without hiding her deeds, looking at her in a tight-fitting cheongsam, graceful and dazzling, I don't know how many people attracted amazing eyes.

"You are a child of the Song family, you dare to appear in Dragon City, it's too rampant, right?"

Ling Xiao glared at her.

As soon as Shen Qianhe told him not to get too close to the Song family, this woman really came together, could it be that she was a heart?

Song Lu snorted and said, "No matter how rampant it is, it can't compare to a certain masked criminal!" ”

In the past eight days, the search in the city has been increasing day by day, and the fox demon has not been found, but has first pulled out many strongholds of various forces hidden in Dragon City, including the Song family.

Fortunately, the name of the most outstanding heir of the Song family can be suppressed, and after Song Lu reported to her family, there was no time for the time being on the side of Longcheng to investigate the reason why she infiltrated Longcheng.

She also came out of the stronghold and moved freely.

Ling Xiao nodded matter-of-fact and said, "That's right, it's too rampant, the security of Dragon City is worrying!" ”

Song Lu's eyebrows were solemn, and his tone was faintly stern, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense!" Where have you been these days, and how have you come back from outside the city? ”

Ling Xiao smiled: "I suddenly had something to do that day, and I went out again, and I only came back a few hours ago!" ”

Song Lu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, why are you asking so much?" ”

Song Lu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "You are the fox demon!" ”

Who knew that Ling Xiao jumped three feet high, and shook his head again and again: "Don't talk nonsense!" Although I really want to take revenge on the Yuan family, I have just entered the city, how can I have time to commit crimes? ”

Song Lu's eyes were full of suspicion when she looked at him.

Ling Xiao flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't look at me with the eyes of a prisoner, okay?" That's it, I can't wash it away when I jump into the Yellow River, but fortunately, everyone's eyes are bright! I still have something to do, let's go first! ”

He waved his hand and was about to slip away.

Who knew that Song Lu followed suit and asked, "Are you going to find Tao Mingqian?" Let's do it together! ”

Ling Xiao frowned: "What are you going to do?" ”

Song Lu said: "As the envoy of the Song family, this girl has not visited Master Tao since she entered Beijing, so she can't be reasonable. ”

Ling Xiao was speechless.

Song Lu's watery eyes were slightly teasing, and she asked with a smile: "What, you don't want me to go?" Could it be that you have some ulterior secrets, for fear that I will leak out? ”

Ling Xiao said lightly: "Ling Mouxing sits upright, how can he have an ulterior secret?" ”

The two then went to the eastern city.

"Tao Mingqian, this person is from a poor family, and the Tao family is just an ordinary mortal family, which has long been annihilated in the dust of history. Moreover, Tao Mingqian has no heirs under his knees, he has devoted himself to cultivating the Tao, and he has always been alone. ”

"Anyway, are you from the Dragon Star Dynasty, why don't you even know Tao Mingqian?"

Song Lu explained while disliking him.

"I don't know now."

"I really don't know how you managed to become such a big official......

"Is it good to rely on strength?"

"Humph!"

Song Lu didn't bother to argue with him, thought for a moment, and said: "You will meet Tao Mingqian later, don't give gifts, I heard that he is upright and never accepts bribes, which is different from people like you." ”

"Really?"

Ling Xiao blinked.

But he really prepared a gift.

After a while, I came to Tao Mansion.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack, but no one appeared, only a young voice asked inside, "Who?" ”

"Ling Xiao, the governor of Yongle County, has come to visit Lord Tao."

The door suddenly opened.

I saw a teenage doorman standing in the forbidden light curtain, looking at Ling Xiao with a little excitement, and then arched his hand and said, "The master has ordered, please come in!" ”

He opened the prohibition and welcomed Ling Xiao and the others in.

Seeing Song Lu with a stunning appearance, the doorman couldn't help but have straight eyes, his face flushed, he lowered his head, and said, "Virtuous couple, please come with me!" ”

Ling Xiao almost choked to death, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, she is Miss Song Lu of the Song family, and she also came to visit Master Tao, and she happened to meet me." ”

"Huh?"

The doorman was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "The master is repairing, but he didn't tell others to ......."

Ling Xiao said: "It's okay, you take us in, I'll take care of it." ”

"Okay, please come with me."

The doorman was relieved.

After all these years of publicity, Ling Xiao has already become the idol of thousands of teenagers in the Dragon Star Dynasty, and his words still carry a lot of weight.

The Tao Mansion was not large, and after a while, everyone passed through a long corridor, and a small courtyard appeared in front of it.

"Plum Garden."

Ling Xiao read out the name of the courtyard, thoughtful.

He had seen Tao Mingqian's way of being an official, and suddenly felt that the word "plum garden" meant something.

has no intention of fighting for spring, and a group of people are jealous.

Tao Mingqian, who is upright and has no clansmen, naturally does not have any weaknesses.

He was like a natural bureaucratic machine, fearless of any wind and rain, and for hundreds of years he served as the core of the huge machine of the Dragon Star Dynasty.

"Come in, two."

In the courtyard, Tao Mingqian said.

After entering, I saw a stone table and stone bench set up in the courtyard, and an old man in a clear Taoist robe sat quietly, boiling water and making tea, looking calmly.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, took out the box that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a haha: "I haven't seen you for a long time, this is a few talismans I drew casually......"

Behind him, Song Lu couldn't help but stiffen, and her face showed anger.

Didn't you tell you not to give gifts, what do you want to do?
