Tu Qingzhong retorted with a blushing face: "Lord Liu's words are wrong! Going back a hundred years, have you ever seen a prince who has to send a labor army when he returns?"

Han Zhaohong laughed and said, "If it weren't for the escort of the Zhenbei Army, His Royal Highness King Yu might not be able to complete half of the journey!"

He also understood that Tu Qingzhong would never promise to open the city gate in public and welcome the northern army of Zhenzhen to enter. So then he didn't pay attention to Tu Qingzhong, but turned to Lord Liu: "Liu Shilang, please accompany Tu Cheng to the same place, one is to be a witness, and the other is to watch a little time!"

At this time, the people in front of the city gate had gathered thousands of people, crowding the streets and streets, and the city gate guards were not evacuated at all, and of course they did not have the leisure to perform their official duties at this moment. Even if everyone was in a heavy mood, they couldn't help but laugh when they heard the last words of Zhenbei Hou.

This is a mockery of Tu Qingzhong's deliberate delay before he deliberated on delay, right?

As for the famous Liu Chuanfang named by Han Zhao, the official worships the servant, and the court knows that he is upright. This time, King Wei fled, and he also got the news in advance, but he did not leave with him. For this, others admired him.

Lord Liu had a smile in his eyes and nodded: "Okay, Zhenbei Hou, please wait here." He knew that Han Zhao was worried that Tu Qingzhong would do something in the process of inviting the blood cicada, and he didn't want him to waste any more time. "Colleagues, those who are interested can go with us. ”

Han Zhao invited Lord Liu, and Lord Liu invited other officials here to join him.

The officials who stayed in Shengyi were in a very delicate state of mind, and at this moment, they were worried about life and death, and they had nothing to do.

As soon as Lord Liu opened his voice, more than a dozen people chimed in: "We'll go too." ”

In the blink of an eye, the city was empty.

Han Zhao was not in a hurry, and waited for the army.

Sure enough, this time with Lord Liu, the efficiency of work has improved a lot. And the Taimiao is only a few miles away from the victory gate, so it only took Tu Qingzhong more than half an hour to complete a round trip and reappear with the officials.

"This is the blood cicada invited from the Taimiao!" As soon as Tu Qing made a heavy move, the priest who was standing behind him stepped forward, raised the things in his hand, and let Han Zhao and the army watch, "The seal is intact and has not been opened." ”

It was a crystal box, one foot long and one palm wide. In the middle of the box is a gold plate at the bottom, and there are two black cicadas lying on the plate, motionless, as if they have been nailed to the specimen.

There is a criss-cross talisman on the box, and its surface is glowing. If Tsubame Saburo and Chitose were here, they could see at a glance that they must be mixed with gold dust. This thing has immutable properties, and it is indeed perfect for making seals-

Once opened, the seal is broken and no longer valid.

It was Han Zhao who also nodded in agreement.

Liu Chuanfang even said on the side: "This thing was invited by Lord Gongyi from the Taimiao, but it was held by the priest all the way, and no second person touched it." ”

Tu Qingzhong never touched the box.

The few of them talked, and Xiao Mi stared at the crystal box with wide eyes. This so-called "blood cicada" looks no different from an ordinary summer cicada, with a ring finger in length, a short and dark body, and transparent elytra on its back.

You know, in the summer he grabbed a handful of them in the trees. There is also a famous dish in Hexiang Town that is stir-fried golden cicadas.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Han Zhao beside him say, "In this case, please wish for the sacrificial practice!"

The sacrifice was an old man over sixty years old, and when he heard this, he nodded, closed his eyes and recited.

The silence around is as quiet as midnight, and everyone doesn't dare to breathe, for fear of missing the next plot.

The incantation was so long that it took a quarter of an hour for the sacrifice to be recited, and then the talisman was gently removed and the lid opened.

As soon as the talisman was torn off, the brilliance on it immediately faded and turned into two ordinary sheets of yellow paper.

The two blood cicadas in the box were like small insects listening to thunder, suddenly flapping their wings and flying and hovering in the air.

Zhu Xi pointed at Xiao Mi, and a blood cicada flew over and landed on Xiao Mi's arm, revealing a sharp needle in his mouth.

This is its stabbing mouthpart. Other cicadas use it to suck sap, but this one has to suck blood!

It's just that the needle hasn't penetrated Xiao Mi's skin yet, and a fiery bird suddenly flew next to it, and grabbed it in one bite!

The bird was not large, and it seemed to glow red all over its body. It stopped on Han Zhao's shoulder, and it didn't swallow the blood cicada in its mouth, letting it struggle.

Han Zhao stretched out his hand, and the red bird threw the blood cicada into his palm.

The blood cicada instinctively wanted to prick him, but his palm seemed to have a layer of skin that was extremely soft and tough, and it couldn't be pierced.

He wore the gloves He Xiaoyuan gave him before, which was poisonous and tough.

Danfeng flew into the sky again, and after a while, he also took down another blood cicada.

Tu Qingzhong was shocked and angry when he saw this: "Zhenbei Hou, what do you mean by this!"

Did Zhenbeihou want to go back on his word?

Han Zhao said coldly: "This is really a blood cicada?"

"Why not?" Tu Qingzhong pointed to the box in his hand, "You unlocked the seals with your own hands!"

Han Zhao turned the blood cicada in his palm upside down: "Danfeng controls a hundred birds and knows a hundred insects, if this insect is not highly poisonous, it will never stop it." ”

Tu Qingzhong was dissatisfied: "This bird is yours, you can train it as you like!"

As soon as the words fell, Danfeng roared angrily at him, spreading his wings in a fluttering motion.

Obviously, it could understand Tu Qingzhong's words and got angry.

"Danfeng is also a stranger under my command, and he will not be at the mercy of others. Han Zhao said in a loud voice, "Just because you haven't touched the seal doesn't mean that others haven't touched it." He looked at Zhu Xi from Tu Qingzhong, his eyes were full of cold light, "I remember, this thing is driven by you." ”

The face of the priest changed color: "Zhenbei Hou, this is a sacred relic of the Taimiao, and words cannot be blasphemed." ”

"I'm afraid the relics of the Taimiao Temple are still in the Taimiao, did the king look for you before he left the capital?" Han Zhao said calmly, "Let you replace the blood cicada with a poisonous cicada and re-seal it, if His Royal Highness King Yu wants to use the blood cicada to verify his identity, you will take the opportunity to take his life!"

"Liang Zhu Sacrifice!" he raised his voice suddenly, which made everyone's ears buzz, "Murdering the royal family is a serious crime, and the nine clans will be punished!"

The priest's face turned pale, but he glanced at the officials and said, "Bloody mouth, what evidence do you have?"

"The blood cicada was invited by us all the way from the Taimiao, and the seal is intact and in accordance with the regulations. Liu Chuanfang also opened his mouth, "Zhenbei Hou, is this bloodline test tested?"

In fact, everyone can understand Han Zhao's embarrassment. If this blood cicada is really stolen by Liang Zhuxian, Xiao Mi is likely to lose his life, but without testing the bloodline, Xiao Mi will not be able to justify his name at all.

Then the siege of the Zhenbei Army today is not justified, and the division is nameless.

In front of everyone's eyes, Han Zhao was also groaning, letting the horses under the seat kick and staggering a few steps.
