"Do you know what it means to drink flower wine?" Ning Changjiu asked rhetorically.

Ning Xiaoling rolled a copper coin between her fingers, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, I just went to the Qinglou to drink, spent a lot of money, let the sisters sing and dance, and when it was night, I would find another beauty, ah......"

Ning Xiaoling covered her head, Ning Changjiu withdrew the hand that knocked her head, and said with a smile: "Senior sister knows a lot." ”

Ning Xiaoling said aggrievedly: "I also listened to a few senior brothers in the peak, they all said that they would go to drink flower wine together after Chinese New Year's Eve, and they also said that the treatment of the immortal master in the Qinglou was excellent, and it didn't cost any silver." ”

Ning Changchang said earnestly: "In the future, don't listen to your wine and meat brothers chatting, you will only bring bad junior sisters, and you should learn more from senior brothers or your married master." ”

Ning Xiaoling let out a long sigh.

Ning Changchang asked: "Besides, Qinglou generally doesn't let a little girl like you in." ”

Ning Xiaoling's eyes lit up and asked, "Senior brother, how do you know?"

Ning Chang paused and explained, "Because Qinglou ...... There is no need that can be provided for you. ”

Ning Xiaoling was puzzled: "What is the demand? I just want to see my beautiful sister dance, aren't the others?"

Ning was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How did you practice the Daomen Concealment Technique that I taught you last time?"

"I've been practicing, but I can't touch the doorway, the operation of the spiritual vein is much different from the inner door breathing method of the sect. Ning Xiaoling complained and said, "Senior brother has changed the topic again." ”

Ning Changjiu patted her head and said softly: "Cultivation is the top priority of cultivators, and my junior sister is the person I miss the most, of course, I must always care." ”

These words were very moving, but who knew that Ning Xiaoling didn't eat this set at all, and sneered: "Hmph, if Senior Brother had said this a month ago, I would have been very moved, and now that I have seen the true face of some Senior Brother, I don't believe your nonsense." ”

This time it was Ning Changjiu's turn to be a little innocent: "What is the true face?"

Ning Xiaoling didn't answer, but said: "But what Senior Brother said just now still made me a little happy, and when I invite guests to dinner, I will give you more pieces of meat." ”

Ning Chang sighed: "Thank you for your kindness. ”

Ning Xiaoling suddenly asked, "When are we going to find Sister Xiang'er?" ”

Ning Chang said: "On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial city will definitely be much livelier than here, and when the time comes, let your sister Xiang'er invite you to taste the state banquet." ”

......

......

The Imperial City of Zhao.

Zhao Xiang'er stood in front of the golden steps of the imperial palace in a dark and gold-painted dragon robe.

Now that it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, she has not rested much, there are more and more affairs in the court, many about the military, the battlefield, the Lu, the adjustment of various duties and the security problems during the Chinese New Year's Eve, even she is a little tired, of course, these emotions can not be expressed, she stands in front of the hall, is a dark flag, symbolizing the faith that the Zhao country is not falling.

It's just that after seeing the magnificence and prosperity of the three thousand worlds in the West, she really can't be too interested in these trivial things in the world.

In the original idea, she thought that recovering the lost territory of the Jin Kingdom was just a matter of reducing the ten meetings with one force, not to mention that the top ten masters of the Jin Kingdom were killed, and the Zhao Kingdom suffered another rain of spiritual energy from the fall of the Spirit Devourer above the Five Realms.

As long as the cultivators of the Zhao Kingdom slowly rise, even if the soldiers are not bloodless, they may be able to recover those lost territories.

But after she really started doing this, she realized that these things were so difficult to do, ordinary cultivators were just tiny dust when they entered the army, and they couldn't turn up too many storms, and every big victory and triumphant battle was piled up by countless details behind it.

These bits and pieces always gave her the idea of putting on heavy armor and carrying a sword to fight in person.

Of course, even if she had the ability to do so, she wouldn't, because her current realm wasn't enough to support her to take too many risks.

Now that Zhao Guo has accumulated disadvantages for many years, she is needed as a majestic symbol to exist in the center of Zhao State like heaven and earth, and to gather the hearts of people who have been scattered for many years like steel.

She is the god son of Zhao Guoxin, the majestic and mysterious, powerful and beautiful god son in the palace.

Zhao Xiang'er gently rubbed her temples and sighed softly.

"Your Highness. ”

A woman's voice came from behind her.

"How's the investigation?" Zhao Xiang'er turned around and asked.

The person who came was Tang Yu, now everyone in the court knows that she is the most popular person around Zhao Xiang'er, the new empress even directly issued an edict to seal her as a first-class female official, and the respect of her status is even more than Zhao Shisong, and of course Zhao Shisong is interested, since that night I knew that she was His Royal Highness's person, I didn't dare to have any thoughts, I have always been respectful and far away, and now I just sent this little god out.

He originally thought that Tang Yu would take some revenge on him after his status was respected, but he was worried for two months, and he didn't wait.

At this moment, Tang Yu came to the front of the palace, took out a stack of books, presented them to Zhao Xiang'er, and said: "These are the lists of dozens of demon hunters and Taoist priests in the imperial city two months ago, according to His Highness's orders, they have all been sorted out. ”

Zhao Xiang'er flipped through a few books casually, and the names of the relevant people were engraved on the first side of those books.

Zhao Xiang'er asked, "Who was in charge of these things at that time?"

Tang Yu said: "It is a few old officials led by Song Fang who are responsible for this matter, basically inside and outside the imperial city and in several nearby cities, slightly famous Taoist priests have been invited over. ”

Zhao Xiang'er asked, "How many people are there?"

Tang Yu replied, "Twenty-four." ”

Zhao Xiang'er asked again: "How many died?"

Tang Yu said: "Eighteen people." ”

Zhao Xiang'er frowned slightly, her slender jade fingers brushed the book, and she wondered, "Why are there so many?"

Tang Yu was slightly shocked: "Your Highness doesn't know about this?"

Zhao Xiang'er's eyes flashed with a faint look of surprise: "I knew some before, but I didn't expect so many people to die." ”

Tang Yu was full of doubts and asked tentatively, "Aren't these people ......?"

Zhao Xiang'er shook his head lightly: "Those people who besieged the Qianyu Hall that day were killed by me who asked Blood Feather Jun to kill them secretly, and then let Song Fang exaggerate those deaths and publicize them, but these old Taoist priests have no grudges against me, what can I do with them?"

Tang Yu thought for a while and guessed, "Could it be that the old fox has already woken up and secretly made a move?"

Zhao Xiang'er said: "The old fox has indeed woken up a long time ago, but he is in prison, and his influence is limited, and he has to spend his mind and soul to put that demon seed into Ning Xiaoling's body, and he will not do those boring things." ”

Tang Yu asked again: "Could it be that the demon finch is murderous and moves at the same time?"

"It's unlikely. Zhao Xiang'er still shook her head and was silent for a moment before she said: "Did those Taoists have anyone who witnessed their deaths? Let them dictate the death at that time, and show it to me after compiling it into a book." ”

"Yes. Tang Yu took the order.

Zhao Xiang'er put the book in his hand back, and walked down the golden steps gently, and the pitch-black robe shook quietly under the cumbersome and beautiful caisson.

"Actually......" she said suddenly, "there is another possibility." ”

Tang Yu felt that the atmosphere was slightly different, and after settling down, he followed her words and asked, "What is possible?"

Zhao Xiang'er stopped, his sleeves shook slightly, and his voice was cold: "In those days, there may be ...... in the imperial city It's really haunted. ”
