Liu Yi and Cao Du found a shop to live in after entering Python Dragon City, Liu Yi proposed that the two of them look for it separately, but Cao Du disagreed with Liu Yi's idea, he thought that they were now living in a foreign country, and their safety could not be guaranteed, so they had to go together, and they must not be separated.

Liu Yi nodded and said, "It's still as meticulous as you think." ”

The two began to inquire in the city, they were not like the high-car barbarians to inquire, the fart people of the high-car did not understand the language of the southern Daqin, even if they asked, it was useless, they could only ask the nobles in the python dragon city who could afford to wear southern silk, or directly the people who begged for a living in the python dragon city.

As a big country of the royal city, the python dragon city is very large, the high-car people have been more serious in sinicization from top to bottom in recent years, and the mansions in the city have been changed from the original tents to stones, and now they have been changed from stones to pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

Over the years, the mansions of the aristocratic families have gradually become mottled, and the people in the city have imitated and begun to build small wooden buildings.

The two asked for an afternoon, Cao Du bent his waist, looked at all kinds of pedestrians in the city, and said helplessly: "No way, why is it so difficult." ”

Liu Yi drank the water in the sheepskin bladder, the newly made water bladder, with a hint of fishyness, Liu Yi handed the water to Cao Du, nodded and said: "It has never been easy for people to find people, just like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Cao Du said: "What should we do now?"

Liu Yi smiled bitterly, "What should I do, I'll go to the palace for a while and inquire." ”

The two were about to go back to the inn to rest, Liu Yi smiled and said, "If you really can't find it, we can only return south." ”

Cao Du asked, "Are you willing?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Naturally unwilling." ”

Cao Du said: "Then let's continue to look for it." ”

Liu Yi shook his head, "You go back first, I'll look for it." ”

Cao Du lowered his head and left, people looked for people, and they couldn't find it for three or four days, that kind of frustration can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

Liu Yi wandered on the street alone, in fact, he didn't know where to look, so he simply went to the palace to try his luck first, and said that he would go, Liu Yi began to rush to the palace, the palace of the high car is located at the highest point in the entire Python Dragon City, Liu Yi walked up the stone stairs step by step, and slowly approached the huge stone palace gate, Liu Yi did not have any dusty handwriting, bypassed the eyes of the guards and entered their blind spot, and jumped on the palace gate step by step.

This is the façade of the heavenly family, showing the majesty of the heavenly family everywhere, it will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains are small, Liu Yi looked at the guards under the palace gate, it is indeed quite small.

Liu Yi bent down and shouted in the direction of the palace, "Let your Gaoche King come out and speak." ”

The rule of the king of the high car is like an iron bucket, just look at the speed of the assembly of the guards in the palace can be seen, under the palace gate quickly gathered no less than a thousand forbidden army guards, the palace speakers have not yet come, the commander of the forbidden army for the sake of insurance, choose not to move.

Liu Yi said with a smile: "The poor road is the Taoist priest Liu Yi of Xuankong Mountain, passing by the Python Dragon City to meet the king of the high car, does the king of the high car greet the poor road with such etiquette?"

The commander of the forbidden army asked in a deep voice: "Since it is a real person from Xianshan, why doesn't a real person dress up as a Taoist?"

Liu Yi said coldly: "Who are you, you are not qualified to talk to Poor Dao, then shut up." ”

The commander of the forbidden army was choked up, and his duty was to be, so he then asked, "When did the Taoist real person of Xuankong Mountain become so arrogant?"

Liu Yi said coldly: "Just because there wasn't before doesn't mean that there isn't now, the posture of the fairy mountain starts from my generation, how about it?"

There was a beautiful woman in the palace, and the beautiful woman rode under the palace gate, and let people spread the word: "The queen came to greet the real person by the high car, I don't know if the weight is enough?"

Liu Yi didn't see the beautiful woman on the chariot, but he knew from outside the layers of curtains that this woman was definitely not simple, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

Liu Yi floated downstairs with the Taoist method he learned casually, and almost stumbled when he landed, Liu Yi worked hard to maintain his figure, it is true that he is a Taoist disciple of Xuankong Mountain, but now his force is really not enough to support his identity, and he really can't bluff people after the level is exposed.

Liu Yi floated to the chariot and saluted the Taoist inspector: "Poor Dao has seen the queen mother." ”

The beautiful woman on the chariot said: "Go back to the palace with this palace!"

Liu Yi followed the chariot of the queen of the high car into the palace together, that night, there was a light horse out of the city in the palace of the high car, some people knew that it was the queen's personal female official, the light ride has been going south, it is to go to Xuankong Mountain to verify the authenticity of Liu Yi.

Liu Yi lived very well in the palace of the high car, on the second day of February, the sting, everything recovered, the female official who went to the hanging mountain to verify Liu Yi's identity returned, and the queen was overjoyed after knowing everything, and hurriedly came to see Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was really startled when he saw the queen mother with hot eyes, is this woman crazy, how can this be so, as if she had never seen a man, she looked at him from head to toe, Liu Yi was like sitting on pins and needles, and she was uncomfortable.

After that period of hot mood, the queen suddenly woke up, realized that she had lost her temper, and apologized: "Don't mind, Dao Chief, this palace is just a little excited." ”

Liu Yi complained: "Now I can leave the palace, right?"

The queen said incoherently: "Yes, Liu Dao Chang can leave the palace at any time, you can do it at any time, Liu Dao Chang please." ”

Liu Yi strode out of the palace, he didn't go out for more than 20 days, he was a little worried that Cao Du left first, at the beginning he also wanted to enter the palace to inquire clearly, and then he went freely, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, the fact is that after he entered the palace, the whole palace was respectful to him, but he was not allowed to leave the palace, Liu Yi saw the queen's gaffe, he may not be able to guess everything, but he can guess some, this woman's ambition is not simple.

After Liu Yi rushed to the inn, the innkeeper went to the empty building, Liu Yi asked the boss, but the boss didn't know where Cao Du was going, and kept shaking his head.

Liu Yi knew how to find Cao Du, he went to the palace to find the queen mother, and instructed: "Poor Dao wants to trouble the queen mother to help find someone." ”

The queen lady is in good spirits at happy events, what she is looking forward to these days, Liu Yi has something to ask her, she can be said to be happy, the queen mother asked: "Liu Daochang has something to say, this palace can do it, absolutely for Liu Daochang." ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "There are painters in the palace, and Poor Dao wants to find a painter to help paint the portraits. ”

The queen hurriedly ordered someone to find a painter.

Cao Du, who is hiding in the east of Python Dragon City, has been frightened for a few days, and there are forbidden troops patrolling the palace all the time on the streets, and the places in the city that can be posted with notices have been pasted, and those that cannot be pasted have been nailed with nails, and the notices said that he was invited to enter the palace as a guest, but he didn't believe it, fishing law enforcement was everywhere, and now it was like this.

Cao Du hadn't washed his face and combed his hair for several days, and he hadn't changed his clothes, he was ready to run away every moment, hiding in Tibet, sometimes getting into the stables, sometimes running to the sheepfold, and several times in a panic and running into people's homes.

In the palace, Liu Yi didn't find Cao Du on the first day, and he felt that Python Dragon City was too big, and it was forgivable that he couldn't find it for a day. The next day, Cao Du still didn't find it, and Liu Yi was still patiently waiting. On the third day, he didn't find it, and Liu Yi couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so he began to look for it in the city. On the fourth day, Liu Yi's heart was a lot cold, and he also saw that all the places in the city that could post notices were posted, but nothing was found, and Cao Du might be more auspicious.

Liu Yi's heart was cold, and the ambitious queen's heart was also cold, Liu Yi had no hope for finding Cao Du, and the queen had no hope for seeking Liu Yi's help.

On the tenth day of the second month, Liu Yi suddenly wanted to go to the inn where they had stayed.

Liu Yi walked out of the palace, passing by the square that he had never passed through before, he looked around a few times, his eyes suddenly stopped on a dried corpse on a stone pillar, Liu Yi asked pedestrians who the dried corpse was, many people shook their heads and said they didn't know, Liu Yi asked a Han man who was begging for a living in a strange way on the grassland: "Does the old man know who the dried corpse is?"

The old man begging for food didn't have a good look in his eyes, he subconsciously glanced there, didn't see anything, and said softly: "There seem to be a lot of people hanging there, the one that was hung last year seems to be called Brother Lang, even if you don't have a surname, the name is also strange, no wonder you died in a foreign country!"

The old beggar was still talking about his bullshit perception that not a copper plate was worth it, Liu Yi left quietly, and he walked step by step towards the dried corpse that was being eaten by the eagle piece by piece, and tears crossed Liu Yi's cheeks one by one and fell into the yellow sand.

Tears are a symbol of uselessness, and they are also self-blame afterwards, and when they are sad and sad, they are an outlet for catharsis.

Liu Yi did not go to Lang Ge's corpse, he went to the shop and bought two rolls of cloth, one for silk cloth and one for silk, Liu Yi turned around and wrapped Lang Ge's body with silk, and then wrapped the silk cloth in silk, he carried Lang Ge's dried corpse alone and walked down the wide street, tears flowing.

Cao Du, who was hiding in Tibet in the east of the huge Python Dragon City, happened to have a chance, and he also wanted to try his luck there, maybe Liu Yi was there.

Coincidentally, the two met like this, Cao Du's face was haggard, and Liu Yi's face was full of sadness.

Cao Du opened his mouth and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Liu Yi said softly: "Brother Lang." ”

Cao Du didn't ask anymore, because he and Brother Lang didn't know each other, so he couldn't talk about being sad or anything, but Liu Yi was grieving, and the only thing he could do was not to disturb, it was enough.

The two returned to the Gaoche Palace, and Liu Yi said: "It's easy to ask God to send God, although you are not found by the queen's mother, but according to her character of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, I, ah, will definitely have to spend blood." ”

Cao Du asked, "What can a canary kept in the deep palace let you do?"

Liu Yi said softly: "She is not a canary raised in the deep palace, I have been in the palace for so many days, I have never seen what the king of Gaoche looks like, I have only seen the queen mother who grasps family affairs and state affairs." ”

Cao Du said in a word: "So she actually wants to be the king of high cars?"

Liu Yi nodded, "Yes." ”
