Chapter 3

Suddenly, she passed under the eaves silently, as if her figure was integrated with the shadows. After the accident last night, she and the poppy slave resumed patrols. They were on duty every two hours. The master was going to put a substitute so that he could sneak to Shangqingguan to meet Mrs. Yao, but at night, the news came from Xu Changshi from the palace, asking him to go to the West Mansion early tomorrow morning and discuss important matters, so the master had to stay in the inn

Every time I change the new place, I need to start the alert again, but Jingli is now used to it. After all, I have a master who is still able to survive and also a helper like Pooh. Unlike in the past, every time I receive a task, I have to go on the road alone, running hundreds of miles and thousands of miles to assassinate the target. If a few people join forces, it is even more disgusting. If my cultivation is not enough, I will be regarded as a burden to meet someone with high cultivation and will bully them at will. Every day, I seem to be living a life of stagnation.

Jingli sighed slightly, then threw these thoughts behind his head, carefully checking the possible omissions around him, soon she found a strange trace on the wall, leaving a little scratch on the dry moss. She remembered that when she was inspecting just now, this trace did not exist, judging from the trace itself, it should not be a cat or a mouse, but more like a light touch of the toes. If someone comes in, then...

Jingli's eyes moved down from the wall, and then he saw a mark in the flower bed not far away, and a few tiny moss fell next to the mark.

Jingli carefully restrained her breath, and looked forward to the traces that appeared and disappeared, looking for a few moss, a specious footprint, a few dust... These almost invisible traces were connected in Jingli's eyes. She seemed to see how the person crossed the wall and swept into the flower bed like light smoke, and then approached the guest room carefully. In order to avoid herself, she went around the back of the room and then...

Jingli suddenly stopped, and she suddenly found herself walking around the guest room where her master was, then returned to the starting point, and then a slightly cooled side of her neck, a cold and sharp hook clasped her neck.

Not bad, not bad, a fat man smiled and said: You learned very well what I taught you back then

The person who was shocked and calmed down and spoke was Niu Jinniu, one of Long Chen's twenty-eight stars, and her former instructor

Fu Shu is dead, Mie Bao is dead, Master, I thought you are dead, but I was heartbroken for several days, who knew that I would meet in Luodu? Niu Jinniu said slowly: Master is happy, please leave a message to you quickly. Unexpectedly, Ah didn't expect that the master sent several messages, and you thought that you didn't see him climbing up the high branch. Ah, Daxing Order Ah, tsk, what about the six hundred stone officials, you won't tell the master, you are a good person, right?

Jingli whispered: My previous ban was lifted, and I didn't receive any messages from my master.

Who is so skillful that even our Long Chen's ban can be lifted? Niu Jinniu smiled and reached into Jingli's clothes, first sealed her acupoints, and then roughly touched her body, checking the restrictions between her meridians. After a while, his face became ugly. Who is it?

Master may wish to guess

As you are, Master Juqu in the Ten Directions Jungle, you can't curry favor with Wang Zhe. The few bulls in Taiyi Zhenzong have a fair nose, but Yaochizong. When you see you, you must kill them and try to save you, unless the sun hits the west, is it Ganzhendao or the Changqingzong?

Shockingly chuckled: Master guess again

Little bitch! Niu Jinniu showed a ferocious evil spirit on his chubby face, and he stuck Jingli's neck and lifted her up

Jingli was so stolen that he couldn't speak, but the smile on his face became sweeter

Niu Jinniu stuck her neck with his right hand, raised the iron hook with his left hand, tearing half of her close-fitting leather jacket, and said grimly: You know the interest of being a teacher. No matter what kind of beautiful woman is, she will be scattered and urinated when she is strangled to death by her master. Only then will she have a taste of it when she fucks...

At this moment, the bull vest suddenly became cold, and the body-protecting true energy was like a thin layer of butter, and was easily pierced by a sharp weapon. Then it penetrated the outer coat, the leather armor inside, and even the copper nails densely covered on the armor could not stop the sharp weapon. The cold blade made the body cold, and even the blood of the vest seemed to be frozen.

As Niu Jinniu roared, he threw Jingli away, and rushed forward with his blade from his back to his hip. He dragged a long wound, but finally avoided the disaster of killing.

Niu Jinniu stabilized his body and turned his head to look. He saw a young man standing behind him, looking at him with a sneer on his face.

Cheng Zongyang took out a small silver bell from his arms. How did this thing be used? Why didn’t it move after a sound? Could it be that it was broken?

Shockingly said: This heart bell can only ring. If you want to use it again, you have to re-refine it.

What a trouble, Cheng Zongyang muttered, then put away the silver bell, who is this fat man?

It was the instructor of the slave who was in Longchen, and the bandit was named Niu Jinniu

Niu Jinniu was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices. The little bitch used to be like a slave in front of him, but now he actually used the bandit number as soon as he opened his mouth! In addition to his anger, Niu Jinniu was also somewhat afraid of the young man in front of him. It was indeed a bit weird. But he quietly approached about a foot behind him. It was not only because of the dagger. You must know that he is not only a powerful person with level five cultivation, but also a killer who can get so close to him to be discovered by himself. There are probably not many people in the world.

Cheng Zongyang pulled out two long swords from behind and knocked them in front of him, and said, "The fat cow!" Let you taste the Five Tiger Breaking Door Knife of this official!

Cheng Zongyang slashed like a tiger, and the bull and bull waved the iron hook to block his blade, tightening the muscles on his back, contracting the wound, and then his face changed drastically. As soon as the wound on his back tightened, it hurt like a sting of bees.

There is poison on the dagger!

It's too late to know! Cheng Zongyang's sword force boosted his sword and forced Niu Jinniu to retreat step by step

Niu Jinniu is no longer interested in fighting, but he failed to break through Cheng Zongyang's knife net even if he used the secret technique. Instead, he was hit twice, with blood on his shoulders and legs.

Cheng Zongyang also took twelve points of caution. Niu Jinniu's cultivation is deeper than himself, and his methods are endless. If he hadn't cut off all the aura with his roots of life and death and succeeded in a close-up attack, the balance of victory and defeat might have been tilted long ago.

Jingli suddenly shouted: Master, be careful!

Before he finished speaking, Niu Jinniu's body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a black shadow and pounced on Cheng Zongyang's head, Cheng Zongyang's two swords, one in front and one behind. The left sword was like a dragon protecting the vital points of his body, and the right sword slashed into the black shadow like lightning.

The blade easily cut the black shadow into two, but it was an empty dress. Niu Jinniu's fat body was only wearing a heart-protecting armor, and his body was almost overflowing. He jumped onto the wall like a fat pig, disappearing.

Cheng Zongyang cursed and chased Niu Jinniu with his tail and was worried that the knife would be poisonous and dared not fight. Cheng Zongyang knew very well, and he had the habit of using poison. But he just smeared some leftover sauce on the blade. The fat man would not find that he was deceived and waited for him to come back, but there would be no such good opportunity.

Cheng Zongyang was worried that Niu Jinniu would return, but he didn't expect that he would come back so quickly. As soon as he jumped up, he saw the fat man fly backwards, crossing the short wall like a kite, and then his head fell from his neck, wandering around the ground for a half-way circle, revealing his eyes that were dying with his eyes.

Cheng Zongyang thought that the fat man had used some magic tricks, so he quickly took a step back, guarded the portal with both swords and then moved slightly in his abdomen. He had not yet had any thoughts. As the cyclone of the dantian turned, the root of life and death naturally produced suction, and a strong dead energy was poured into the sea of ​​qi.

Only then did Cheng Zongyang confirm that Niu Jinniu was indeed dead, but how did he die?

The night wind blew, and the locust tree above his head swayed for a moment, and two figures fell down like smoke. Simingxin put away his wing hook, his body flashed on the wall, and then disappeared into the darkness again. Lu Jing gestured to him, and went in and said

Cheng Zongyang untied the acupoints that were subjected to shock and asked her to dispose of the body. He followed Lu Jing into the room

Is there any whereabouts of high IQ?

Still looking for

Cheng Zongyang sighed, even if he killed a master with a peak level five cultivation level, he absorbed his death energy, and his mood did not get better.

Lu Jing said: But we found another person

who?

Mao Yanshou, who spoke in a word that was as precious as gold.

Lu Jing said: Mao Yanshou escaped from the dog cave and lost his trace at the intersection of the street. We inquired about it. That night, more than one person saw Luo Duling personally led his people to patrol the night. He happened to walk to the intersection of the street.

Did Mao Yanshou meet Dong Xuan?

good

Then how could he disappear?

He is in the prison in Luodu

What!

Lu Jing said: We just rescued him and sent him to Pengyi Club to hide

Although the man had been rescued, both of them looked a little unfavorable, Cheng Zongyang said: Is something wrong with him?

Last night, Dong Xuan sent someone to interrogate overnight. He had already asked what should be done and what should not be done. He also recorded his confession and drew pictures according to his own explanation. All the things he had experienced and the details of his experience in the past month were revealed completely.

Cheng Zongyang spit out a word after a while, do it!

…………………………

Yesterday, Dong Xuansu entered the palace for a while, and met the emperor at the Quefei Palace. He wrote a letter to the court, listing the ten major crimes of the marquis of Xiangyi, and requesting the marquis of Xiangyi to be imprisoned. The Ming Zhengdian was sentenced to

Xu Huang's eyes were dark, and he obviously didn't sleep all night. When he talked about Dong Xuan's letter yesterday, his tone was gloomy and cold

Cheng Zongyang said: The Empress Dowager is still here

Xu Huang nodded slightly, the emperor personally burned the scroll and the ten major crimes listed by Dong Xuan and ordered Dong Xuan to stay in the door to think about his mistakes, and he would not be allowed to meet guests without following the imperial edict.

Liu Ao had no choice. If he really agreed to Dong Xuan's memorial, maybe before Dong Xuan left the palace gate, Zhu Lu would dare to lead troops to block the palace gate. Then the emperor would be deposed. It was just an edict. After all, the empress dowager had less than two months of power, but he had been in power for more than twenty years. Which important minister in the court was not picked up by the empress dowager from the end of her hand?

Dong Ling is very brave, but this memorial is too bad and I am afraid that Yong'an Palace will hear the sound of the wind.

How can I hide it there? Xu Huang said: The people of the Lü family are also in secret business at this time

Cheng Zongyang said: I am just a junior, and some of them are just loyal to the emperor Eunuch Xu. If you want to do whatever you want, just give me instructions. I promise to hit him wherever I want.

Xu Huang sighed: What can be done? It’s okay if Dong Wohu didn’t report the memorial. Once the memorial was released, many things were difficult to handle. The emperor originally wanted to use the Yulin Tianjun instead of Zhi Jinwu in the palace, but now he can only wait for another opportunity.

In any case, it was the Marquis of Xiangyi who made a mistake and the emperor took the title of righteousness. The officials in the court were always a little loyal.

Xu Huang was silent for a moment and said slowly: Some rumors in Beijing are very bad

Cheng Zongyang naturally knew what he was talking about. Feng Yuan, who went out to inquire about the news today, told him that many earthquakes in the capital were shocked. Some people immediately pointed the finger at the emperor, and quoted various scriptures, and just pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him for being virtuous.

Cheng Zongyang said angrily: It is obviously a slump, but where is an earthquake?

It’s okay that the earth is sank, and the world’s ignorant people are so beautiful that ghosts and gods are so beautiful. Now the two geese are circulating in the capital. Xu Huang sighed

I originally prepared to eat those two geese by myself, but who knew that so many things would happen? Cheng Zongyang became more and more guilty as he spoke. This emperor was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, so he would not hate himself because of this?

Don't worry, Xu Huang saw that he looked nervous and comforted: The Queen said to you personally, and asked you to come today, for this reason

Is it the matter of Changqiu Palace?

The emperor heard what Dong Xuan said yesterday and realized that there would be so many twists and turns in the Queen's sister's entry into the palace. He ordered a certain oral order. Xu Huang stood up and ordered the Grand Administrative orders Cheng Zongyang to send Zhao into the palace today, and sealed Zhao Yi and stayed here in Zhaoyang Palace Qin.

As he said that, he lowered his voice, the emperor used this to respond to the two geese.

I'll do it! Cheng Zongyang wanted to scold the emperor in his heart, but he could only respond: ...I obey the order

…………………………

Cai Jingzhong had a small house next to the palace city. Like other powerful people, he also invited some visitors to decorate the storefront, but he didn't have much contact with scholars, and it was even more difficult for brave people to enter the door. Most of the guests under him were ordinary people with skills, so the residence was also nicknamed as the general. The implication was that the guests who came to his door were all craftsmen.

At this critical moment, the emperor's reaction was to issue an edict to order Hede to enter the palace. It was absurdity of not doing his job properly. However, from Liu Ao's standpoint, this move was not incomprehensible. Dong Xuan's report was shocking, but at this time it was not the time to attack. All Liu Ao could do was to put Zhao Hede in the palace, put her under her own protection, and he also barely transferred the matter of the two gooses to the queen, forcing them to fly into the sky and the other to the people. In the end, the emperor's benevolence and virtue were also included in the palace.

But this gave Cheng Zongyang a difficult problem. Standing on his side, he didn't want to send Zhao Hede into the tiger and wolf den of the palace. After listening to the oral orders brought by Xu Huang, Cheng Zongyang secretly thought. Anyway, his trip to Han was already leaking everywhere. If he continued to make trouble, he might be defeated. If he really couldn't do it, he would take Hede away and fly away. Wait until they came to the death. But before that, he wanted to meet Cai Jingzhong and see if the pervert had any ideas...

Cheng Zongyang changed into casual clothes and used the technique taught by Lu Jing to slightly modify it. He could hide it from the layman, and then quietly walked over to the door.

Cai Jingzhong's mansion is indeed different. The door is open and no one cares about the customers who are just busy with their own affairs and ignore him.

Cheng Zongyang walked to the gate of the inner courtyard before someone raised his head and did what he did?

I'll look for Cai Changshi

Go inside! Don't block my light!

Only then did Cheng Zongyang notice that he was holding a mirror that was ground into a concave surface and looking for the focus of the sun. If he hadn't accidentally blocked the light, he would have probably never known that a living person would have come in.

The main hall door was also open, and there was no one in it piled up with all kinds of half-made utensils on the ground. Looking at the dust on it, it seemed that some days had not been taken care of.

Cheng Zongyang was wondering, and finally a Cangtou was chasing in while holding his pants and yelling: Who are you! Who are you! As soon as I got into the thatched cottage, you dared to break into this place?

I'm here to find Shi Changshi Cai, don't believe it and see this

Cheng Zongyang specially took out the talisman of the Changshishu, and Cangtou believed it only seven or eight minutes, Oh, it turns out you came from the palace.

You came from the palace!

Cangtou tied his belt with his trousers, and said arrogantly: Come with me and don’t touch those things! It’s so precious!

Cheng Zongyang rolled his eyes and followed Cangtou to the wing room of the side yard.

Cai Jingzhong was concentrating on... The snow-wave paper purchased from Song State seemed to be full of spirituality between his fingers. As the movements of his fingers changed, it soon turned into a house. Every time he folded one piece, he carefully brushed the paste and carefully stuck it to a large piece of paper.

Cai Jingzhong was full of his heart and was attracted by the paper in his hand. Cheng Zongyang stood at his desk for a cup of tea. He looked up and looked at him. If it were someone else, there was a living person in front of him, he would be shocked. In addition, Cheng Zongyang suddenly came to the door and must have asked him clearly what he was going to come. But in Cai Jingzhong's eyes, he was surprised and greeted, why Cheng Zongyang suddenly ran to his home? These things... They were all over the clouds, without a word of gossip, and they talked about the serious matters directly. You can look at this tone that is natural, as if Cheng Zongyang is a sorghum, and should have been here.

What?

Cai Jingzhong said: I was afraid that the pictures would not be marked clearly, so I made a whole house with paper, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to carry, so I made them folded and opened like this, so the whole laboratory was clear at a glance.

Cai Jingzhong said as he took out a piece of cardboard and opened it, and then folded it, only about a foot square. When it was opened, it was larger than the mat. As the paper opened, exquisite paper houses emerged in the blink of an eye, and one piece was divided into six areas, and models of dozens of buildings of all sizes appeared in front of him.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned. It was enough for Cai Jingzhong to think of making solid models with paper. He took a step forward and made the models into folds. This idea was far beyond ordinary geniuses. It was a completely creative and genius who crossed the times, but the so-called inspiration was often far inferior to the so-called "inspiration", but Cai Jingzhong's ability to act was a little too many, right?

Cai Jingzhong did not pay attention to his eyes, pointed to the building above, and said to himself: This piece is a wood area. Various woods in the world need to be collected, calculate the weight and softness to see which ones are suitable for boats, which ones are suitable for carriages, which ones are suitable for wheels, and which ones are suitable for carriages. I estimated the wooden yoke. If you find the right material, the performance of the carriage can be increased by at least 30%.

This part is the gold material area, and the most investment is made in refining various metals, because you need to start a blast furnace of more than three or five meters to be built. I heard that there is cement on your side. Next, I am going to increase it to six meters.

This piece is a stone area. In addition to stone, it also includes measurement and calculation of various soils.

Cheng Zongyang pointed to a pool on the cardboard and said: Is this part a water area?

No, that's fish

Fish also need to do experiments?

Cai Jingzhong looked at him like an idiot. Of course, it was used to eat. This was the animal shed, this was the poultry shed, and this was the vegetable shed. After the experiment, they were eaten. By the way, they were done some edible experiments in the kitchen.

What's the meaning?

Looking for the most suitable way to eat Cai Jingzhong said: Don’t you think our diet is too rough now? There are only sixteen ways to eat fish, and no more than thirty meats. I plan to make more than fifty dietary methods for fish, meat, and vegetables within two years.

Brother, we are building a laboratory, not a canteen, right?

Cai Jingzhong said seriously: Eating is one of the most important pursuits in life, how can you underestimate it? In my laboratory, recipes within two months cannot be repeated.

One or two hundred types of Ah brothers, all of them are different for half a year

Do you only eat one dish at a meal?

Cheng Zongyang wanted to imitate Old Man Zhu, stuff his head into his crotch, and he thought that he had four dishes and one soup for a meal, two months, but it was different, so why did he feel like a poor person?

Because there are a lot of wood, in order to save costs, I plan to use discarded wood to experiment with various bacon methods. If I can’t finish eating, I can also take out food to increase my income.

Cheng Zongyang stopped him, let’s stop here if we eat

OK, I will continue to introduce this part of the weaving...

Cheng Zongyang stopped him again, let’s stop with the laboratory matter

Cai Jingzhong finally got rid of the experiment. Is there anything wrong?

right

explain

Are you familiar with Changqiu Palace?

Crazy

Where is the queen?

no

What can't be done?

Oh, don't you want to have sex with Ah?

Nonsense! I'm crazy!

Cai Jingzhong knocked on the head, you made a mistake.

I want to ask you to send a message

Private affairs?

It has nothing to do with this! Hello, haven’t you cut it?

Don't you have any curiosity?

My curiosity has long been fed to the dog. I just said one sentence: Do you want her to enter the palace?

Queen Zhao’s sister?

Cheng Zongyang said in surprise: How do you know?

I said I don’t know if you believe it?

Cheng Zongyang pressed his eyebrows with exhaustion and said after a while: Since you know, I won’t say much. The emperor asked me to send her sister to the palace. Do you ask the queen if it’s okay?

This time it was Cai Jingzhong's turn to be surprised. Is there really a private relationship?

Cheng Zongyang wants to strangle him to death, I said it has nothing to do with this

Then ask for your questions, Cai Jingzhong said casually: What about you? Do you want her to enter the palace?

Do you think this is unnecessary? Do I want it to be useful?

Yes Cai Jingzhong said: If you want her to enter the palace, I can let the queen agree to enter the palace immediately. Do you want her to enter the palace? I can let the queen immediately lose this thought.

Although it sounds like a joke, Cheng Zongyang believes that he really has this ability, but do he really want Zhao Hede to enter the palace? There is only one answer...

I'll wait for her reply, and it depends on the meaning of Miss Hede. But if she doesn't enter the palace, the emperor will be afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to explain.

You are here to ask this? Cai Jingzhong saw through his thoughts at a glance

Cheng Zongyang had no choice but to say: Let you guess

Let me ask the queen first. Cai Jingzhong said while packing the items on the table: Are there any tokens?

Cheng Zongyang did not ask him why he needed tokens, because it seemed too idiotic. He took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it over.

Cai Jingzhong slapped his head and took a waist bag from the rack behind him, Cheng Zongyang said: Don't rush to return it, if you want to use it, leave it for a few more days.

This is what I just made

Cheng Zongyang held the imitation bag that he couldn't tell the truth and false, and once again felt that he was a total idiot.

Cai Jingzhong called Cangtou and the two went out together. Cheng Zongyang vaguely heard Cangtou muttering with dissatisfaction: He is the lord whom the head of the family defected to? Why did he ask for food when he met?

Cheng Zongyang almost spurted out an old blood, was that what I asked?

Cai Jingzhong taught a lesson: Food is the most important thing for people. The lord cares about diet is benevolence and virtue, and the lord is the nature of food and sex. The lord is delicious because of this. What do you know!

Cheng Zongyang held the imitation waist bag and sat weakly on the threshold, lowering his head deeply, all the way between his legs.

Cai Jingzhong's residence is very close to Nangong. He went to the palace to pay homage to the queen. He only took half an hour to return. At the same time, he brought back the queen's oral decree: The emperor's will must not be violated, but Hede cannot enter the palace no matter what.

Cheng Zongyang didn't even have the strength to smile bitterly. The emperor asked her sister to enter the palace, and the queen asked Hede not to enter the palace. Could it be that I would turn her into a sister and send her to the palace?

Cai Jingzhong asked back: What's wrong?

Cheng Zongyang said: You mean...

Find her a sister

Cheng Zongyang said crazy: Can you find this casually?

Of course, you can't find it casually. Cai Jingzhong said with a dead face: As the queen's sister, she went to the palace to serve the emperor. The news was about to spread, and the girl she was rushing to come must break her head.

I tell you, this joke is not funny at all! Ah a little more serious!

Find an orphan with outstanding appearance and no relatives to teach her for a few days. Cai Jingzhong said: No one in the palace has ever seen the queen's sister. The queen said yes, that must be

Cheng Zongyang said guiltily: I want to lose money, should I kill the nine clans?

Then you send the queen's real sister to the palace

Just do what you said! Cheng Zongyang also took his best. At worst, he could run away with the little beauty Hede and ignore everything else
