When I woke up the next morning, the snow had stopped.

After the heavy snowfall, the imperial capital was covered in silver, and Xu Ming found for the first time that the original pure white could also look so enchanting.

Xu Ming and the five got together to discuss the next plan.

The window was open, and the breeze blew in with some snowflakes and landed on the face, on the neck. Unexpectedly, Xu Ming felt quite comfortable.

"We have just arrived in the imperial capital and don't know the situation, so I suggest that we observe for a while. Chu Feng said, "After that, I will go to the place where Wei Guogong is under house arrest to investigate." ”

Li Yu'an blushed, looked at Chu Feng first, then at Bai Qishu, lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Feng." ”

After these days of getting along, Li Yu'an and Bai Qishu have basically accepted each other. But as for the question of who is the sister and who is the younger sister, it seems that there is no quasi-Xin'er, and it is not Xu Ming's concern anyway, he is happy to see Chu Feng anxious.

It seems that Chu Feng has decided to help Li Yu'an save his father. Xu Ming thought so and sighed softly in his heart. As a person who can do less and never meddle in things, Xu Ming is still very reluctant to do such a thankless job. But thinking of Li Yihuan's trembling and weak body that day, and the eyes that relied on trust when he looked at him. Xu Ming had no choice but to nod and agree to Chu Feng's proposal.

"The imperial capital is chaotic and complex, and we still have to be careful. Xu Ming acquiesced to Chu Feng's suggestion.

Chu Feng smiled slightly at Xu Ming, his smile filled with apology and gratitude.

Then Chu Feng took out a few newspapers, "Dongshengzhou Xiuxian Express", and said: "I read the recent news of the imperial capital yesterday. As he spoke, he flipped through the newspaper.

"First, Emperor Guangwu's illness is very serious, and it is said that preparations are already being made in the palace for the new emperor to ascend the throne. Chen Yuqing, the crown prince of Liangguo, is already regent. ”

"Second, there seems to be some change in the sky in the past few days, and I suspect that the bright moon order is about to appear again. ”

"Third, recently there have been many immortal cultivators in the imperial capital, from all sects. Because on the past Chinese New Year's Eve, the royal family of the Liang Dynasty would hold a banquet and feast guests. This year, none of the sects received a notice of the suspension of the banquet, just in case, many sects still sent people to the imperial capital to wait for news. As for whether anyone from Qingyang Sect has come, I don't know. ”

Chu Feng closed the newspaper and said, "At present, there is only so much information that can be mastered. Many things in the palace and the court are not clear, after all, it is a monk's newspaper, and it does not value the mundane. ”

"Why did the Bright Moon Order come out again, I always felt that the Bright Moon Order seemed to appear every three or five days. Xu Ming frowned, "Is Mingyue Ling so worthless?"

"The Bright Moon Order of Mingyue Tower, it is a rare thing to be able to come out once in ten years. Chu Feng explained, "It may be that we are too unlucky, or we are too good, in just a few months, we can see the Bright Moon Order twice." ”

"There's still too little information at the moment. Xu Ming knocked on the table, "Later, I'll go to inquire about the news, ask Wei Guogong about the situation, and see if there is a chance." Don't go, the Qingyang Sect may also come, if you are discovered, then our situation will be dangerous. ”

Later, Xu Ming dressed up a little, pretended to be a monk who had traveled here, and walked out of the inn.

According to the information provided by the storyteller before, Wei Guogong was placed under house arrest in the Zheng Family Villa in the northwest of the imperial capital. Xu Ming asked Xiao Er in the inn for directions and walked towards the villa.

After the snow, the streets gradually became more and more crowded, and many children were building snowmen and having snowball fights along the streets, and many of these children were rich children in gorgeous costumes. The New Year is approaching, whether it is a commoner or a rich person, you still have to have a happy New Year.

Stepping on snowflakes and cold winds, Xu Ming came to the front of the Zheng Family Garden, located in the northwest of the imperial capital.

This villa is very large, it is the imperial residence given by Emperor Guangwu himself, and there are countless treasures in it. Later, Zheng Xiujie found a lot of seeds of heaven and earth treasures and planted them in the courtyard. It is said that just living in this annex can prolong your life for more than ten or twenty years!

But from the outside, it looks ordinary, and there is really no legend, so magical.

There were no red-robed guards patrolling the garden as expected, only a middle-aged man dressed in a subordinate costume sweeping the snow at the door. The stone lion next to it is afraid that it is a little old, and some moss can be seen between the crevices, which is particularly conspicuous in the middle of the white snow.

Outside the annex, he couldn't feel the breath inside the villa, and it was very easy for the masters who returned to the virtual realm not to be detected by themselves, so Xu Ming couldn't be sure if there were two masters who had returned to the virtual realm in this annex, and he couldn't even be sure if Li Mu was locked up inside.

"It's hard. Xu Ming rubbed his temples with a headache.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Ming decided to ask the person who swept the floor.

"Hello. Xu Ming walked over and smiled as he thought he was friendly.

The man raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at Xu Ming with a strange smile, and couldn't help but shudder when the wind blew. "Is there anything wrong with you?" the man asked.

"May I ask if this is the other garden of Prime Minister Zheng Cheng's family?" Xu Ming asked politely.

The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the plaque on the lintel: "You didn't see it?"

Xu Ming looked up, and on the plaque were two big characters in the seal script: "Zheng Mansion." ”

"Then the prime minister lives here?" Xu Ming continued to ask.

The man looked at Xu Ming in surprise and replied, "Young man, you just came to the imperial capital, right? The prime minister lives in the prime minister's mansion, and this is just a separate garden." ”

"Then there is no one living in this garden, then why do you work so hard and come out to clear the snow?" Xu Ming said with pretended concern.

"Who said that there are no people living in the house now, there are three friends of the prime minister living in this garden, they just arrived a few days ago, and the house is busy up and down. The man sighed and complained to Xu Ming, "Let's just say that there is a master who has a big temper, and if he is not good at all, he will beat and scold his subordinates, and we are miserable now." ”

Xu Ming handed over a cigarette at the right time and lit it for the man: "That brother, you are a little miserable, such an impudent guest is still very difficult to meet." ”

The man took a puff of his cigarette and nodded, "It's true, but those of us who are subordinates can't help it, we always have to eat together." ”

Xu Ming nodded hurriedly: "Indeed, life is forced." ”

The man suddenly looked at Xu Ming and said vigilantly: "No, you came to inquire about what the guests in our other garden are doing?"

Xu Ming laughed with him: "An elder of my family came to the imperial capital to look for a friend, but I don't know which friend he came to find. Later, I inquired about a few friends from the Prime Minister's Garden, so I came to inquire. Xu Ming said, took out a bag from his arms and stuffed it into the man's hand.

The man weighed the bag slightly, and knew that it was a bag of silver, and the vigilant look on his face was swept away, and he said with a smile: "In this way, you ask, as long as I know, I can tell you." ”

"These three friends of the prime minister, do you know who their surnames are?" Xu Ming asked.

When the man heard this, he scratched his chin and thought for a while: "I don't know about this, but what I do know is that the three of them are all monks, and they are very high in their deeds, so what is the realm of emptiness." ”

"Return to the Void?" Xu Ming asked tentatively.

The man patted his head: "Yes, yes, return to the virtual realm, this is what I heard the little maid in the house say." That bad-tempered old man, good wine and sex. A few days ago, I drank wine, and saw that the little maid was a little beautiful, and wanted to insult her, but was stopped by another master. The little maid later told us that after the man had drunk, he said that he was a real person who had returned to the realm, and what happened to her. ”

"Scared, then this person must not be my elder, my elder's face and demeanor are similar to Wei Guogong, he will never do such a thing!" Xu Ming sighed in disbelief.

"Hey, yes, yes, there is a master who lives in a simple place. A maid who has seen him said that he is very similar to Li Mu, the Duke of Weiguo in the portrait, a humble gentleman, gentle as jade. I praised the old man with our people for days. The man said, "Maybe that's your elder?"

Xu Ming's expression was calm, and he said: "Maybe, it's getting late today, so I'll retire first." When I go back and ask the elders of the clan, if my uncle is really here with the prime minister, it will not be too late for me to find the prime minister. The prime minister has been busy with official business recently, and he still knows about it. ”

Xu Ming arched his hand to the man and said, "Thank you, big brother!"

The man waved his hand embarrassedly: "Small things, not enough to worry about." ”

Xu Ming nodded and trotted all the way back to the inn.
