The oil lamps are fluttering, and the incense is cloudy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the study, Qin Ze and Zhang Shengtai sat facing each other.
"Who are you?"
"Guess what?"
"Immortal Dao people?"
Rao was in the middle of the night, and Zhang Shengtai's spirit was still very vigorous.
Dressed in civilian clothes, he stared at Qin Ze's face with fierce eyes, trying in vain to see some clues.
Qin Ze couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and asked Zhang Shengtai rhetorically: "If I am a person in the Immortal Dao, why should I sneak here?"
Zhang Shengtai's face changed, and he could hear the sarcasm in Qin Ze's words.
But on the contrary, he had no way to refute it, because he really didn't have any confidence to refute!
"Who is Your Excellency?" Hearing that Qin Ze was not from the Immortal Dao, Zhang Shengtai's tone softened a lot, but he still maintained full vigilance.
Now the water in Changyang County is too chaotic, the dragon fish and turtles are difficult to distinguish, and the depth is clear and turbid,,, even if he is the county guard of the original lord of the party, he has to act cautiously now.
"Naturally, it's the person adults want to see the most at the moment. ”
Qin Ze grinned, not caring at all about the vigilance and suspicion shown by Zhang Shengtai.
After all, Qin Ze's 'visit' was so sudden and abrupt, this Zhang Shengtai was still able to maintain full patience and communicate with Qin Ze as usual, which fully proved Zhang Shengtai's open-mindedness and bearing.
Zhang Shengtai's brows furrowed when he heard this, and then he saw a piece of tissue paper under the oil lamp on his desk with Qin Ze's peripheral vision.
"I have a girl in my family who has just grown into ,,, Ling'er!"
Zhang Shengtai raised his head and stared at Qin Ze with burning eyes, not hiding the excitement in his heart at all.
"My lord, calm down first," Qin Ze smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Shengtai in a low voice, "My lord, this mansion is also very messy!"
Zhang Shengtai understood, leaned into Qin Ze's ear, and whispered to Zhang Shengtai: "Your Excellency knows Ling'er's location?"
Qin Ze nodded quietly, and a ring appeared in his hand.
The ring is only the size of a copper coin, and it falls on a red rope mixed with gold wire, which is carved with a very delicate phoenix bird pattern, which is vivid and lifelike.
Zhang Shengtai's complexion changed suddenly, but he calmed down in an instant.
"Follow me!"
Rao is Zhang Shengtai tried his best to stabilize his emotions, but there were still many trembling voices in his voice.
Qin Ze nodded, and saw that Zhang Shengtai got up and walked to the bookcase, and he didn't know where he moved, so he saw that the bookcase was quietly split in half, leaking out of the dark room inside.
"It's an old routine!"
Qin Ze smiled slightly, and followed Zhang Shengtai into the dark room.
The dark room is not big, but it is the size of most of the houses, which are fully furnished, beds, desks, bronze mirrors, and sparrows, although small, all the organs are complete.
"Your Excellency has seen my poor child?" Zhang Shengtai suddenly asked, his tone anxious and his voice was also very high.
Qin Ze frowned secretly, but he heard Zhang Shengtai explain: "The walls of this secret room are mixed with yin wood, which not only has the effect of sound insulation, but also avoids the soul, Your Excellency does not need to worry about being heard by the ears and eyes of the Immortal Dao!"
"Yin Mu," Qin Ze nodded, smiled and said to Zhang Shengtai, "Naturally, I have met Miss Ling'er!"
As he spoke, Qin Ze handed the ring pendant in his hand to Zhang Shengtai, and said in a deep voice: "This phoenix bird pendant, the adult must not admit his mistake, right?"
Zhang Shengtai held the phoenix bird pendant in his hand, nodded very affirmatively and said: "Yes, this phoenix bird pendant was personally hung on Ling'er by the old man when Ling'er was three years old!"
"So, Ling'er has escaped from the clutches of the Immortal Dao?" Zhang Shengtai's tone was a little excited, and even his originally pale face instantly turned rosy.
Qin Ze was shocked in his heart, but he still nodded quietly.
"Where is Ling'er now?"
Zhang Shengtai's tone was very urgent, and he looked like a loving father licking calves.
Qin Ze didn't answer, but asked Zhang Shengtai instead: "How did the adults conclude that I am not from the Immortal Dao, and I took the jade pendant of Miss Ling'er and came to fool the adults?"
"Your Excellency is too underestimated by me!" Zhang Shengtai smiled proudly, and then said to Qin Ze with a grin, "First of all, Your Excellency's movements and demeanor are all very restrained and cautious, this is not the kind of caution disguised, but involuntarily, or subconsciously made guarded!"
"Besides, if you are a person in the Immortal Dao, why do you want to coax me with this move? They can directly threaten me with this ring, isn't it much more refreshing?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shengtai's tone paused, and he said with a little amazement: "The most important thing is that I understand Ling'er's character!"
"Although Ling'er is a woman who wins, she has a heroic heart and a proud root, if the Immortal Dao snatches Ling'er's ring pendant, this ring pendant will definitely not be so complete!"
Qin Ze frowned when he heard this, and then said in confusion: "It may also be that someone in the Immortal Dao controlled Miss Ling'er with a secret method, and then obtained the ring pendant?"
"No!" Zhang Shengtai shook his head, then shook the ring pendant in his hand, and said to Qin Ze with a smile, "Even if this jade pendant can be faked, but this red rope will not be faked,,,"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shengtai smiled unexpectedly, and said to Qin Ze: "Even though the power of the Immortal Dao is unpredictable, the father-daughter secret between me and Ling'er is not known to everyone!"
Qin Ze looked at the twists and turns of the golden thread on the red rope, as if he had a finger, and suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Ling'er was changing the veins of this golden thread at that time!"
Sometimes this is the case, when a certain thing happens, some details that were originally clueless can be connected quickly and perfectly in an instant,,,
"I see that I am underestimated by an adult!" Qin Ze grinned, and did not pay attention to Zhang Shengtai's very eager gaze, but asked Zhang Shengtai in a deep voice, "Lord Jiuwen loves the people so much, and is a benevolent parent of one party, but now why do you let that immortal Dao poison Changyang County?"
Qin Ze said, not hiding the reproach in his words at all!
That's right, it's a feeling of blame, Rao is two people are of different grades and different states, Qin Ze still can't help but blame Zhang Shengtai for a few words.
"If you use thunder to wipe out the Immortal Dao when it is showing its signs, why did it develop to this point?"
"Now the demon road in Changyang County is rampant, unscrupulous and demagoguery, the hearts of the people in Changyang County are scattered and separated, and all the people are blinded by the way of eternal life,,"
Speaking of this, Qin Ze couldn't help pausing slightly, then glanced at Zhang Shengtai, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said to Zhang Shengtai in a soft voice: "It is the duty of adults to eliminate obscene evil gods, hey, how did you allow this immortal path to develop to the point where this hand covers the sky now?"
Qin Ze's voice stopped, and the dark room fell silent.
"This matter is completely the fault of the official, I hate that Changyang child mistook me!"
Zhang Shengtai let out a wail and began to tell the origin of the development of this immortal path. (To be continued.) )
