The arrival of Liu Wen, the son of King Huan, was a big event for Shangyuan Mansion.

Wu Hanlin beckoned the prince to live in the royal palace, and sent cavalry and infantry to cooperate to protect it.

He wanted to give Wang Qilin some benefits, and he could have a relationship with King Huan, but he didn't know how many people dreamed of a good thing, so for the officials, it was a beautiful thing to guard King Huan.

Wang Qilin was not interested in this, but he would not refuse the leader's arrangement, and personally took Ma Ming, Chen Weiyue and Xiang Peihu to the other garden that day.

Xiang Peihu is worthy of being a fierce man with a Mahahua mud plowman, after he learned that Liu Wen had thoughts about Suisui Niangzi, he immediately secretly found Wang Qilin in private and whispered: "Seventh Master, did him with chaotic incense?"

He added: "Don't worry, there is only one lowly chaotic god incense in the world, even if the royal family sends someone to investigate, it will not be able to find our head." ”

After a pause, he added again: "At most, I can find out the head of the lowly position, and the lowly position is willing to take the blame for himself, just ask the seventh master to pull the lowly mother-in-law out of the nine shadows, so that the lowly function can see her again." ”

This infatuation is really the sea can be dry and the stone can be rotten, the sky can collapse and the ground can be cracked, Wang Qilin was moved when he heard it, and then told him helplessly: "Master Hu, I really can't find someone from Jiuyou and pull it out, if I lie to you, let ......"

Xiang Peihu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Don't say it, Seventh Master, don't swear a poisonous oath." ”

Wang Qilin slapped his hand away: "Phew!"

The two of them were muttering outside the garden, and Liu Wen specially brought his subordinates out with a pot of warm tea after learning that everyone was coming.

When he came out, he was playing with a small beast in his hand, which was like a mouse, but had a pair of long ears, a fluffy tail, and was born delicate and lovely, with an elegant posture, and covered with snow-white fine hair, which was a rare beast in the world.

In addition, the little beast also has a gold chain around its neck, and there is a small gold medal on it, and there are several words on each side.

The little beast looked in poor spirits, squinting at Liu Wen's palm and dozing off, and Eight Meow and Nine Six stood up immediately when they saw it.

Wang Qilin gave them a sharp look, and Eight Meow and Nine Six immediately squatted on the ground again.

Liu Wen gave the little ** to the attendants who followed him, and commanded the guards to pour hot tea for the people who listened to the heavenly prison, and then raised his glass and said: "Thank you for guarding the safety of your talents, and you can't repay your talents, and use tea as wine to toast you a cup to express your gratitude!"

He had the demeanor of a superior person, and took a sip.

Wang Qilin and the others were embarrassed.

This tea is piping hot.

Ma Ming is a sincere person, and he will do it when he raises the teacup.

Wang Qilin stopped him, he said the duties of the heavenly eunuch over and over again in the cold wind, and then he tried his best to pat King Huan's ass and express his respect for King Huan, and then he said half a pillar of incense for a long time, and then Shi Shiran waved his hand:

The tea is warm and drained in just one bite.

Liu Wen smiled, and sent out the prepared gift bags one by one, not only listening to the heavenly prison, but every soldier and general who came to guard the other garden had this thing, but the gift bags of the generals were larger, and the gift bags of the soldiers were smaller.

Everyone was naturally grateful to the prince, but Wang Qilin didn't look at it when he put away the gift bag, and directly told his subordinates: "Be careful, this guard task may not be easy to do." ”

Ma Ming asked in a low voice: "What confidential information did the Seventh Master get? In the army, I once heard that King Huan was upright and loyal, but he was fierce, so there were enemies in both the court and the rivers and lakes. ”

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "I don't know about these news, but I know that this prince has a bad opinion of me, and he is targeting me." ”

Ma Ming looked at Chen Weiyue, Xiang Peihu and the others, and the big guy shook his head, saying that he had not found it.

But the news that the prince went to the fifth taste to ask to see the glamorous proprietress had spread all over the Shangyuan Mansion, so Ma Ming asked, "Is it because of Suisui Lady?"

Wang Qilin said: "It's not clear, but I can feel his hostility towards me, so be careful, he may be looking for our business." ”

What he said was very unconfident, after all, there was no evidence, it was just a feeling of his.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wen did not appear later, let alone trouble them.

In the evening, it was Wu Hanlin's banquet, and he chartered the entire Yuye Building to entertain guests, and the leading figures in the county came to a seven, seven, eight, eight.

Wang Qilin shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense, and originally wanted to refuse to enter the hall for the banquet, but Taiba said that there were many masters who came tonight, and if someone could successfully enter the banquet hall to assassinate Liu Wen, then it would be useless for him and his subordinates to guard outside.

In fact, Liu Wen took a group of masters with him on this trip, these people have occupied the height of the Jade Liquid Building, and the guards of the entire banquet hall are not leaking, and the guards of the Heavenly Prison and the official yamen are just decorations on the surface, just to show the majesty of the prince of Huan.

Since Taiba invited him, Wang Qilin couldn't refuse, so he straightened his clothes and followed into the main hall.

The prince came out with the butler and said: "The generals under the command of Lord Wang have made meritorious guards, and since joining the Heavenly Prison, they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and they are all pillars of the country, and the prince of my family has great admiration for Lord Wang's subordinates, so this banquet has a large venue and many tables and chairs, so it is better to let the big guys go in." ”

Wang Qilin refused again and again: "The people who enter the banquet hall are the high-ranking officials and famous generals of the county and the wealthy families from all over the country, and most of the subordinates are rough people, what kind of system do they have to let them enter the banquet hall?"

The housekeeper said: "Then Lord Wang brought a few henchmen in, my family grew up in the army since he was a child, and he admires the heroes of the world the most. ”

Wang Qilin looked at Taiba, who nodded and said, "Since it is the intention of the prince, then accept it." ”

The housekeeper looked down at Jiuliu, who was raising his hind legs and tickling, and said with a smile: "The old slave heard that Lord Wang has two spirit beasts around him to help, this should be the tengu among the spirit beasts, right? To tell the truth, my family likes cats and dogs the most, and he came to Shangyuan Mansion far away from the capital this time, so he brought a flower fox mink. ”

Wang Qilin asked in surprise: "Dare to ask the white beast that the prince brought with me when he comforted my brother with tea today, but is it a flower fox mink?"

The housekeeper nodded with a smile: "It's the flower fox marten." ”

The flower fox marten, the black cat, and the tengu are all spirit animals, but its family is not born in Jiuzhou, but the original spirit beast of Tianzhu.

This is a very interesting and powerful spirit animal, they are like white mice in childhood, as they grow up, they will expand rapidly, and when they become adults, they can be as big as a white elephant, and their fur is invulnerable, and they can go up to the volcano and go to the deep sea, and they can fight in battle.

Adult flower fox martens are more powerful than adult black cats and tengus, but it is difficult for them to reach adulthood, and most of them die in childhood.

Wang Qilin praised a few times, and ordered Ma Ming, Xu Da, and Xie Toad to enter the banquet hall.

The banquet hall occupies the entire second floor of the Jade Liquid Building, with hundreds of tables surrounding it, and a stage in the middle, where musicians have already entered, playing and singing.

Wang Qilin found his own table and led a few people to sit down, he sat down cross-legged, pulled Eight Meow and Nine Six in and pressed them down, and the two of them obediently hugged each other and fell asleep.

The officials arrived one after another, and finally it was Wu Hanlin who accompanied Liu Wen and a middle-aged beautiful man with a soft face into the hall.

The officials stood up and saluted, and Liu Wen returned the salute with a smile, responding meticulously, politely and politely.

The little two people in the Yuye Building served the tea with their hands and feet neatly and dried fruits, and there was a mist floating in the tea kettle, and suddenly half of the hall was full of tea fragrance.

Wu Hanlin introduced a group of officials to Liu Wen, Liu Wen responded one by one, and when he arrived at Wang Qilin, he smiled and reached out to pat Wang Qilin's shoulder, and said: "Lord Wang doesn't need to be introduced, we have met many times and are old acquaintances." ”

Whether it was an official or a wealthy patriarch around, they all showed envy when they saw this.

Liu Wen only had a greeting to them, at most he would nod his head to show goodwill, but when he arrived at Wang Qilin, he directly patted him on the shoulder.

It is an attitude, an attitude that represents the friendship of the royal family.

After taking a seat, the prefect of Uehara Prefecture ordered a banquet to be served, and exquisite dishes and jars of hardcover wine were served.

At the same time, there was also a team of dancing girls, these people had big chests, thin waists, and long legs, but they were only wearing a little silk scarf on a cold day, Wang Qilin couldn't bear to see it, but Xu Da stared and watched carefully.

Wang Qilin chiseled him with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Look at it less, you can also see it, these girls are the daughters of their parents, they are all brothers and sisters, let's treat others as ourselves, if our daughters and sisters dress like this on a cold day to make fun of men, how can you bear it?"

Xu Da said: "Seventh Master, what you said is right, their dancing is distressing, so we can't waste their hard work, we have to appreciate it - hey, this waist is so soft!"

Ma Ming could see it, and said lightly: "The Seventh Master doesn't know, we can't bear to show up for them, but they are enjoying it." Do you think they were forced to come? No, in order to be able to dance in such a venue, they have to fight for their heads!"

"They're not here to dance, they're here to show themselves and look for opportunities to marry into a wealthy family. For all the people in this room, marrying any of them is considered to be jumping on the branch and becoming a phoenix. ”

Wang Qilin looked at Xu Da, who was only drooling, and said, "Marrying Xu Ye is also jumping on the branch to be a phoenix?"

Ma Ming nodded: "Of course, a hairless phoenix is also a phoenix." ”

Xu Da ignored them and only cared about the excitement he watched.

The wine was hot, and the dancers went down to rest, and at this time Liu Wen stood up and raised a glass to everyone.

When the big guy sat down, he said: "Since there is no dance to see, it is better for this son to show you a spirit beast, this beast is rare in my land of Jiuzhou, you might as well guess its identity." ”

As his words fell, the butler walked in through the door, and a snow-white beast was released from his sleeve.

Wang Qilin saw that it was the flower fox mink.

The flower fox marten fell to the ground, and everyone stretched their necks like roosters to look.

When it was too late, Eight Meow and Nine Six stood up from Wang Qilin's arms, they shook their heads in confusion, and rushed to the flower fox mink.

The flower fox mink let out a roar that did not match its size, and ran wildly in the direction of Liu Wen with the gold medal around its neck.

Wang Qilin was shocked when he saw this, and he didn't react for a while!

Gencat and Tengu have always been well-behaved, and as he has been to many occasions, this is the first time he has suddenly gone crazy!

Especially the black cat, it showed unprecedented speed, like a black light flashed in front of the flower fox mink, stopped it halfway and slapped it with a paw.

The audience was in an uproar!

Liu Wen shouted, "What's the matter?"

Taiba waved his hand and released a crow, which flew up like an arrow, but after all, the speed of the move was a little slower, and the eight meows had already held the flower fox marten and tore it and turned over on the field.

Wang Qilin slapped the table and flew up, tiptoeing over a little.

Liu Wen also had guards around him, and two expressionless men rode the wind to kill like left and right protectors, one swung out the chain and the other threw out a flying sword to strangle eight meows from both sides.

Wang Qilin pinched the sword trick and shouted: "The sword is out!"

Garuda flew out like lightning, instantly grabbed the flying sword with his claws and smashed into the chain, and it was only then that its voice reached Wang Qilin's ears: "Please sword!"

However, although it is fast, its strength is not a strong point, but it just knocks the chain away a little, but fortunately, there is still a distance between the chain and the eight meows at this time, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles, and the iron chain finally smashed on the floor, directly corroding the floor into a ditch.

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and grabbed Eight Meow and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Ninety-six ran to him at the same time, opened his mouth and bit the flower fox marten ferociously.

This is very abnormal!

Wang Qilin stopped the two of them and threw them back, Xie Toad jumped up and rolled up his sleeves, rolling up Eight Meow and Ninety-Six.

The banquet scene was suddenly chaotic.

Liu Wen hurriedly ran over, Wang Qilin carefully picked up the flower fox mink, and a wound appeared on the back of the little thing, and blood flowed out and dyed its white hair.

Its life has come to an end, its eyes are half-open and half-closed, its nose is not moving, its chest and abdomen are not undulating, and it has no breath.

Wang Qilin's scalp was numb.

Then he saw the small gold medal on the neck of the flower fox mink, with a horizontal line of words on it: Taishang Son of Heaven, and a column of words vertically below: auspicious gifts!

These eight words are not something that can be written casually, seeing them, Wang Qilin's scalp exploded directly.

Bad luck.

The Royal Gold Medal!

Sure enough, Liu Wen screamed urgently after holding the little flower fox mink, and finally the little flower fox mink's eyelids slowly closed.

Liu Wen staggered back a step, and his face was gloomy: "This is the spirit beast given to my father by the Holy Emperor, this is the grace of the Holy One!"

Wang Qilin half-knelt on the ground and saluted, wanting to plead guilty, but inadvertently swept around, but noticed that the butler of the prince was staring at him coldly.

Then, a series of thoughts came to his mind:

Previously, the butler specially asked him to take Eight Meow and Nine Six into the banquet hall......

Earlier, when Liu Wen brought out the flower fox marten, the little beast was in a state of limbo......

The classics record that the flower fox marten is prone to early death at a young age, and it is difficult to reach adulthood......

This flower fox marten is a gift from the emperor to King Huan......

Suddenly abnormal Eight Meow and Ninety-Six ......

Wang Qilin quickly strung together these clues: What would the emperor do if he gave him a spirit beast that was prone to early death? He would definitely protect it, and he would never bring it to the banquet hall to be watched and played with by hundreds of people when it was not in good condition.

Because the emperor's reward is a divine grace, and improper protection is to be questioned.

Then the question is, Liu Wen is the son of King Huan, and he is well-informed and naturally knows these hidden secrets, so why did he forcibly bring it to the banquet hall when the flower fox marten was not in good spirits?

Could it be that this flower fox marten is already dying, he wants to shirk the responsibility, and he knows that the black cat and tengu are not good with the flower fox mink's nature, and it happens that he has the black cat and the tengu with him, so he let himself take the black cat tengu into the banquet hall, and suddenly released the flower fox marten to attract the black cat tengu to attack it.

But don't the genres and tengu nature deal with the flower fox marten?

He had never heard of such a thing, and during the day, Eight Meow and Nine-Six had seen Flower Fox Marten, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Then he thought of the eyes of the prince's butler staring at him.

An even more terrifying guess appeared instantly:

Liu Wen shot at himself.

He may have given or smeared something on the Flower Marten, and it was these things that caused Eight Meow and Nine-Six to blindly attack the Flower Fox Marten.

And as their masters, they should be jointly and severally liable!

He was about to habitually confess his guilt, but when the words were about to come out, he analyzed this information in his mind, so he changed his words: "His Royal Highness the Prince forgives his sins, the black cat raised by the humble position is wild and untamable, and it actually hurt His Royal Highness the Prince's beloved flower fox marten, it is really a crime that deserves death!"

Liu Wen said sharply: "It's nothing to hurt the beloved thing of this world, but it hurts the spirit beast given by the Holy Lord! This is a gift from the Holy Lord! Look at the gold medal hanging around its neck, this is the imperial gold medal, and it is clearly written on it!"

Wang Qilin said: "The lowly duty is clear, and the lowly duty does not dare to shield it!"

Speaking of this, he said to Xu Da: "Lord Xu, go and write a piece of paper, count the sins of this cat, let it sign and draw after reading it, and punish it according to my new Han criminal law!"

Liu Wen frowned and said, "You Xuanmao can read?"

Wang Qilin said: "Back to the world, the lowly Xuanmao can't read. ”

Liu Wen subconsciously asked: "This Xuanmao can't read, how do you let it sign and draw?"

At this time, Wu Hanlin had already understood what Wang Qilin meant, so he walked over and said gently: "Your Royal Highness, since this Xuanmao can't read and write, how can it know that this flower fox marten is a gift from the saint?"

As he spoke, he took off the gold medal hanging around the neck of the flower fox mink, and said: "It is true that this gold medal says that this beast is given by the saint, but the black cat does not know how to read, it does not know what this gold medal is written, but at a cursory glance, I am afraid that the flower fox marten will be recognized as a mouse." ”

"It is the nature of a cat to hunt mice, and it hunts flower fox marten under its nature, how can this be punished?"

"If it reaches the ears of the people, and the three of them become tigers, I am afraid that the people will spread the legend that an official cat was executed because he caught a mouse given by the Holy Lord, and if it continues like this, how dare the people raise cats? They are illiterate and have no knowledge, but they don't know which mouse has the identity and origin. ”

Taiba also said: "Moreover, His Royal Highness, there is something very strange, this flower fox mink official knows, it is a Tianzhu spirit beast, how can it be caught to death by a Xuan Cat with one paw? Xuan Mao doesn't have such skills, right?"

Liu Wen sighed and said, "What the three adults said is very true, this prince was panicked for a moment just now, and he didn't think about it so much. Alas, this son is also guilty of this matter, if it weren't for this son to show it off, how could he be killed by Lord Wang's spirit beast?"

"And the flower fox marten is indeed like a mouse, and it is the nature of the cat to catch mice, so it is really inconvenient to punish such a thing. ”

Wu Hanlin and Taiba gave up their hands and responded together.

Liu Wen handed the flower fox marten to the housekeeper and said: "Good life is collected, and in the future, find a piece of feng shui treasure land to bury it, this is a holy spirit animal, and you must not treat it lightly." ”

When an official heard this, he rushed forward and said: "Shizi Mingjian, the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of Xiaguan is very good, and I am willing to build a tomb in the core area of the ancestral tomb to bury this spirit beast!"

The other officials reacted and began to rob.

Wang Qilin returned to his seat, Xie Toad raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and said, "I can't complain about Eight Meow and Ninety-Six, they have been calculated." ”

"The old Taoist priest smelled it, and there was a smell of blessings on the paws of the eight meows. It should be someone who smeared Zhu Yu grass juice on the flower fox mink, and Zhu Yu has an irresistible charm for spirit beasts and monsters, so they thought that this flower fox mink was food and ran to hunt it. ”

Wang Qilin nodded and said: "I understand, this is the conspiracy of the prince, the flower fox marten is going to die, and the son of the world can't afford to raise the death saint to give the spirit beast, so he wants to find someone to be the substitute ghost." ”

"I'm the most suitable for the dead ghost, not only can I help him take the blame, but I can also make Suisui lose his man, hum, kill two birds with one stone, it's easy to calculate!"

Xu Da clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Did him?"

Wang Qilin said: "Are you going?"

Xu Da let go of his fist and said, "Think twice about this matter." ”
