At today's banquet, nothing happened during the banquet, but there were many problems at night.

An unusual thief infiltrates, and the family members who have been sleeping get up.

No one talked about anything, but there was a sense of unease.

The lights in the temporary guest room were on, and Lin Xun was out asking about the situation, this little kid didn't know anything, and he looked like a big horn.

Qin Shi was not outside, guarding the oil lamp in the guest room, looking at Mars and pursing his lips and sneering from time to time, looking unfinished.

Bai Song was afraid that the matter of the bathhouse would be revealed, and wanted to remind the Qin family, but he didn't know how to speak.

One person forced his composure outside and comforted his family to sleep first.

From the third watch to the fourth watch, seeing that the family members were asleep, Bai Song quietly slipped to the Dongxiang house next door.

Dongxiang didn't turn on the light, but she knew that the young master would come tonight, so she sat at the table and waited.

Bai Song was weak and sneaky, and after entering the door, he turned around and closed the door, and was startled by Dong Xiang's pat on the back.

Dong Xiang covered her mouth and snickered, thinking that this young master has a thief's heart and no thief's guts, and he is too cautious, right?

"Giggle...... Master, it's me. ”

"Huh......" Bai Song breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled her to sit down at the table, and made a gesture of silence.

Dong Xiang smiled and whispered, "Why should the young master be nervous? Dongxiang is all towards the young master, how can you say that? ”

"Not only for this, but I also need to remind you, that the Qin family covets the beauty of the young master, she hasn't left yet, you have to be more careful, don't give her a chance to get close to me!"

"Poof!" Dong Xiang snorted with a smile, not wanting the young master to be nervous just to say this.

Coveting the beauty of the young master, this can also be said!

"Laughing at what? This is serious business! ”

"Good, good...... The slave didn't laugh. I think the young master is right, our young master's appearance is really rare in the world, where can it be compared to children like Second Master Lin? It's a shame that Mrs. Qin is so uncomfortable and lonely that she ......"

Bai Song was embarrassed, and covered Dongxiang's mouth, so that he couldn't see his face at night, otherwise he would be laughed to death by this girl.

Saying that he was worried, Bai Song breathed a sigh of relief, sent Dongxiang and got up to leave.

When he arrived at the door, Dong Xiang suddenly thought of something and called Bai Song.

"What else?"

"I just picked up something near the bathhouse. It's a novelty, the slave has never seen it, and it is estimated that it was left behind by the thief. ”

Bai Song was suspicious when he heard it, if the thief fell, maybe he could know some clues.

"Show me."

Dong Xiang motioned if she wanted to light the lamp, and Bai Song nodded.

When the lights in the hut came on, Fuyuka had already placed the words on the table.

It was a half-palm-sized waist card, wooden, with a surface polished with oil wax, and extremely smooth to the touch.

The waist tag has a regular shape, it is oval, there is no carving, only a notch on the front.

It's like a word, and it's like a strip mold.

The waist card looks ordinary, without any eye-catching, but the material is a little strange.

Bai Song just held it in his hand for a moment, and he felt a little cool in his palm, which was icy and felt very comfortable in a summer night.

"What kind of material is this?"

Bai Song looked at Dong Xiang and had never seen such wood products.

Dong Xiang also shook her head: "This thing is so weird, it looks like it's stuffed with ice cubes, it's cool." ”

Bai Song fell into deep thought.

This thing can't have been in the yard in the first place.

Because the room where the bathtub is located has been cleaned many times inside and outside, Bai Song loves to be clean, and everyone takes a bath and asks Dongxiang to clean it, so after many days, this thing has not been found.

Only tonight did a thief sneak in and pick up this thing.

It must have been left behind by the thief.

But in addition to the peculiar material, this waist card has no characteristics in appearance, let alone any clues.

I couldn't come to any conclusions for a while.

Bai Song put the waist card on his body, thinking that he would have the opportunity to inquire slowly in the future, and then left.

……

On this night, in the guest room of the Taishou Mansion, the lights were bright, and on the fourth watch, Lord Thorn Shi didn't even take off his official uniform, and his face was pale and he stood aside.

There was a basin of hot water in the hall, and the surface of the water was stained with some blood, and there was a faint layer of blood.

In front of the basin, the guards gritted their teeth, and their faces were blue and did not move at all.

A doctor held an iron scissor with half-squinted eyes, and cut the arrow with force, and blood instantly gushed out, splashing the doctor's face.

Several people in the hall were stunned and took a step back.

Only the guard sat still, unimpressed.

"This hero is so capable, such an arrow wound can not move at all."

"Doctor, needless to say, please take the arrow."

The King of Shu walked outside the house, his expression was solemn, and he no longer had the smile he used to have.

"A small house, there are such masters! It's incredible. ”

"Lord Wang, the current situation is not optimistic for us, can you go back to the emperor and send a master again?" Jiang Yu also had a solemn face.

"The Mo family's origin is unknown, and the servants in the family are actually masters who have retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, and now they are in Mingchun Garden for the Baifu to take care of the family. It seems that Bai Song is indeed in an important position in the Holy Lotus Sect, and there is no doubt that the mysterious holy envoy must be him. ”

Li Zhan hesitated for a long time, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only make such a judgment.

There are all kinds of indications that the White Song Dynasty is the core of the Holy Lotus Sect.

This made the old prince very disappointed, he had seen many people, no one could have the casual and free of the young boy, not to mention the three kingdoms, just by virtue of the various means of recent business, as long as he grew up a little, he would be able to become a pillar of the country one day.

It's a pity that that kid actually embarked on the evil road.

Jiang Yu had this idea for a long time, but because of the presence of the prince, it has been difficult to speak, but now he finally learned the answer from the prince's mouth, and he was instantly overjoyed: "Prince, you have finally figured it out!" That kid couldn't be left behind, and even if he was killed by mistake, it was better than leaving a disaster. But now that he is surrounded by expert guards, we are afraid that we have already caught the grass and the snake today, and if we want to assassinate, we still need a complete method. ”

Li Zhan pondered: "To lead away the three major guards around Bai Song, you must have the help of the shield prime minister, and now he is injured, I am afraid that he will ......"

"Don't worry, such a small injury will only take three or five days."

As he spoke, the seriously injured guard had already walked outside the house, stood behind the two adults, and said a word calmly.

In the house, the doctor had removed the arrow and bandaged the wound at the same time.

The doctor was so frightened that he went limp in the room, but the wounded man walked and spoke calmly as if he were nothing.

Li Zhan looked back at him, his eyes stayed on the bloody gauze, and he frowned and groaned: "Three or five days...... The Weihe Lantern Festival is a good time. I heard that the Chen family has invited this person to join the number one flower boat, and Lord Jiang and I will also be on the boat at that time, you are responsible for leading away his guards, and Lord Jiang is responsible for arranging for people to wait for the opportunity. ”

The guard nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Yes!" ”

"Where's the arrow?" Li Zhan asked again.

The guard stretched out his hand and handed the arrow he had just pulled out of his body to the prince.

Li Zhan held an arrow in one hand and an arrow shaft in the other, his face expressionless.

"The material of this arrow is extraordinary, and this king has searched the mountains and traveled the world, and he has never seen such an arrow. For longbows that are too short, for concealed weapons that are too long...... The point is that such an inconspicuous arrow can hurt you silently? ”

The guard bowed his head slightly, he didn't admit that he was careless, but except for the careless factor, the speed and power of this arrow far exceeded that of ordinary bows and arrows, even if it was a martial arts master with profound skills, it would never be possible to shoot such a shocking arrow, so that with his strength, he didn't even see who the person who shot the arrow was after being hit by the arrow.

For a top master, this is a great shame!

"Lord Wang, I had a head-to-head confrontation with the other party on this trip, and the other party is the sword thirteen who retired from the rivers and lakes."

"Sword Thirteen ......" Li Zhan fell into memory, as a prince, he was not in the rivers and lakes, but some of the most famous characters in the rivers and lakes had heard of it.

"Before the retreat of this sword thirteen, one person and one sword destroyed the thirteen sword sects of Tianmen, and since then they have called themselves sword thirteen, and their unique name of controlling the sword with qi shocked the world, and for a period of time, everyone in the rivers and lakes called it the sword immortal. Although his sword skills are in vain, his strength should not be underestimated, and his subordinates may have a seven-point chance of winning against him alone. ”

"And there are two other people around him, neither of them have made a move."

The guard nodded, this news made Li Zhan feel tricky, but he didn't seem to care much about the guard himself.

The guard continued: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, during the Weihe Lantern Festival, his subordinates guaranteed that those three people could not intervene. ”

At this point, Li Zhan waved his hand, today's matter is over for the time being, everything will be on the night of the Lantern Festival, whether the assassination can be successful in one fell swoop can only be left to the will of God.

……

There are five days left for the Weihe Lantern Festival.

In order to welcome the lantern festival, every household is rushing to make lanterns.

It is not only the lantern festival, but also the Weihe lantern is the most important decoration that night.

And to make lanterns, paper is indispensable.

Recently, the bamboo paper circulating in the county has been widely popular, not only the quality is far beyond the common leather paper, but the price is much cheaper than the leather paper.

The Zhuji paper shop renovated from the Chengnan Pharmacy is overcrowded all day long, and the people are rushing to color the paper and dry it, so that it can be made into various colored lanterns for tourists to buy and sell when it is time for the lantern festival.

Paper prices plummeted, and businessmen who hoarded goods and raised prices sighed all day long.

Now businessmen are not thinking about how to make money, but how to recover a little bit of loss.

The raw materials can't be sold, so they can only rush to make paper.

Even if it can't compare to the new paper of Zhuji, it is better than being used as firewood.

For this reason, Miss Chen is also in a mess.

The prince of the Chen family came forward, and the imperial court bought some raw materials at a low price, and used them for book printing after making paper, which was convenient for Shangxian Books, but it saved Chen Xirong a little loss.

But these losses are only part of it, and there are too many raw materials hoarded, even if the public buys them, they won't be able to use so much.

was already upset, but the uncles of the Chen family didn't know what to do, so instead of coming to help solve problems, they also used this as an excuse to wantonly attack and ridicule.

Those uncles have long looked at Chen Xirong unpleasantly, a woman standing with the family's big property, who doesn't blush when she sees it?

I couldn't find an excuse before, but this time, because Chen Xirong insisted on going his own way, he lost nearly 10,000 taels of silver to the Chen family, which made the life of the whole clan very difficult, and at this time, all the uncles jumped out to seize power.
