Even after a bloody night, under the cover of lightning and thunder, the sleeping people only said that it was a somewhat noisy night.When I got up early and opened the door, the rain had wiped away all traces.After the rain in Bianliang, the air is exceptionally fresh, and there are faint red clouds in the eastern sky, indicating that today is sunny.

In the study of Kaifeng mansion, the oil lamp was lit all night.

Gongsun Ce frowned, and picked up the pen to write the last word. He put down the pen to browse quickly, then rolled up the letter with dried ink and stuffed it into a special bamboo tube.After blowing out the lamp, Gongsun Ce walked to the pigeon coop in the backyard, hesitated for a while, and then reached out to take out a pigeon with gray feathers and red eyes.

He gently stroked the pigeon's feathers, thinking about what the steward of the Grand Master's Mansion said when he put down the pigeon, "The Grand Master said, if you regret it, send a letter, the prince will be very happy."

regret?He, Gongsun Ce, has always made decisions before acting, and never thought about the word "regret".Hehe, why does he find it a little funny...

After letting the pigeon go, he turned and went to Bao Zheng's study.Opening the door, the man was still staring at the badges in front of him.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Lord Bao raised his head, looked at the person with his bloodshot eyes, and asked, "Have you sent the news?"

Gongsun Ce nodded, turned around and closed the door, walked to the desk, glanced at the scrolls on the table, and asked softly: "My lord, you don't want to rest for a while..."

"Where is it?" Bao Zheng rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, leaned on the back of the chair, reached out to pick up the cold tea, and was about to deliver it to his mouth.Gongsun Ce couldn't help being presumptuous in front of him who didn't care about his body. He snatched the tea cup and put it aside, walked to the table and poured another cup of warm water.

"Gongsun you..." Bao Zheng smiled and shook his head, took a sip from the teacup.He raised his head to meet the same pair of tired eyes, and asked lightly, "You said...he, will he help save the princess?"

"Yes." Gongsun Ce closed the books spread out on the table, stacked them up, and rolled up a few scrolls, "Since the officials don't let people from Kaifeng go there, they have to let him do it. Heavenly Book Regarding this matter, how much Li Yuanhao knows, we can't take chances."

He hugged the collected books, walked to the bookshelf, and put them back one by one, his voice lowered: "The student feels that the Eighth Prince intends to make a mistake and give up the princess. Chunni is not a child of the clan, even Xia Guo A blood sacrifice would not be able to open the heavenly scriptures, but instead gave Da Song an excuse to kill the princess."

"Hmph, could Li Yuanhao be that stupid?" Bao Zheng took the cup to the table and poured himself a glass of water, "As long as the missionary sending her relatives leaves, the princess will lose contact with Da Song. At that time, Xia Guo will either find Someone pretends to be a princess, or pretends that the princess died of an illness, and no matter how noble a woman is who leaves her home and marries into a deep palace, it is very easy to disappear." Therefore, they have to do everything possible to protect Chunni, otherwise they will not only feel sorry for the deceased Meng Lao. Hero, I'm even more sorry for Zhan Zhao.

"My lord?" Gongsun Ce turned around and saw Bao Zheng's hands trembling slightly, and asked with concern, "Are you a little tired?" This Bao Heizi is not young anymore.

"The house is fine." Bao Zheng took another sip of water and put the cup on the table, "Mr. Gongsun, how is Ding Yuan settled?"

"The student has restrained himself, and we plan to wait until dawn before sending him to the Yizhuang outside the city." Gongsun Ce lowered his head sadly, not being able to treat patients is the greatest regret of a doctor.

Bao Zheng patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Mr. Lao, please burn some paper money for him." That man was also a poor man.

"Students." Gongsun Ce nodded, and then frowned slightly, "It's just that I don't know where his junior brother Chen San is. Before Ding Yuan passed away, he said that someone rescued his senior brother and Chen San together. It seems that he also knows a lot of inside information. Now..."

"I'm afraid only Shao An knows about this matter. This Shao An robbed the princess and participated in the Tianshu case. I really don't know if it's an enemy or a friend." Mr. Bao stroked his beard and shook his head, "Your Majesty wanted to issue a document to arrest him at sea. To arrest him, but worried that he would hurt the princess in a hurry, he only secretly ordered the states to pay attention to unknown people. Now the burden on Zhan to protect them is not light..."

"Actually, the Eighth Prince doesn't want Xia Guo to know. They didn't marry the original Sheng Kingdom Princess." Gongsun Ce said, "My lord, the Eighth Prince's people last night..."

Bao Zheng stretched out a hand to stop Gongsun Ce's words, and after a while he said softly: "Mr. Gongsun, the Eighth Prince has his own way of handling things. Thanks to his vigilance, Xia Guo's spies did not succeed. The Emperor did not investigate the Kaifeng Mansion's oversight last night. Fortunately, the crime of the emperor is a blessing, so there is no need to mention this matter again." The only thing that the Eight Wise Kings care about is the current Holy One, anyone who threatens the Emperor will be erased by him mercilessly.From his standpoint, even if he dies, he must keep the country of the Great Song Dynasty. That's why...

"Yes." Gongsun Ce nodded, and what he said was true. This prince was never easy to provoke. He and Bao Zheng had learned how powerful this prince who always spoke softly was when they were young.

They looked up at the window, the sky was already clear, and a busy day in Kaifeng Mansion had begun.

Bai Yutang sat by the bed, watched Zhan Zhao write a few letters hastily, and then turned to ask him about the flying bats he contacted through Sky Island.

"Cat, who are you writing to?" Bai Yutang helped him tie the letter to the flying bat, and wiped the man's frowning brows with his hand, "Don't worry, the flying bat trapped in the sky island has great powers. The carrier pigeons used in the army are still powerful, even if people are far away in Leizhou, they can be delivered to you."

Zhan Zhao nodded absently, took a few flying bats and sent them out of the window.

"Chunni's situation is dangerous. You and I are under the emperor's order and cannot go to protect each other. I have to send a letter to Ouyang brother to see if he can help." Zhan Zhao sighed and lowered his head, he was very confident. It would be great if the officials would allow him to go in person.

Bai Yutang stretched out his long arms, wrapped his arms around the man's shoulders, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Maoer, Bei Xia is as good as his gold, and his martial arts are even better than you and me. With his help, Chun Ni will be able to escape." Although he said Saying that, I cursed secretly in my heart, bearded man, don't be late to practice Zen again, this time it is related to the safety of your lovely sister Chunni, if something goes wrong, the Buddha will not be able to save you.

Thousands of miles away, in a tea shed, a big man with green eyes and purple beard sat next to a bright young man.The big man sneezed several times in a row, the boy quickly poured a cup of tea for the big man, pushed it over and asked, "Father, did you catch a cold?"

The man blew his nose and said, "It's okay." I guess some villain is talking bad about me...

After that night, Kaifeng Mansion also imposed a curfew, and the officials in charge of the city defense secretly investigated the spies planted by various countries. Suddenly, Bianliang City was in order, and the law and order improved a lot, which helped Zhan Zhao and the others a lot.

A few days later, a secret letter came from the Jiangning Mansion in the south, saying that they had discovered someone suspected of being ordered by the imperial court to pay attention.Seeing the big three words "Jiangning Mansion", the Eighth Sage King felt a vein twitch on his forehead. Thinking that a certain troublesome person happened to be in Jiangning Mansion, he wrote a letter and ordered his confidant to send it over.

Zhao Zhen also summoned Zhan Zhao secretly.

"Guard Zhan," Zhao Zhen sat at the stone table in the imperial garden, looking at the young man who was getting thinner, "Is your injury better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, there is no serious problem." Zhan Zhao nodded his head.

"Are you still blaming me for not letting you go to save Chunni?" Zhao Zhen signaled Chen Lin to put a plate of pastries in front of Zhan Zhao, "This is a new dessert made in the palace, try it." The man was silent Without doing anything, he sighed and said, "Zhen... There is a reason why I don't let you go. First, Lingling needs to be found by Kaifeng Mansion. She has royal blood. If Shao An harbors evil intentions and threatens It's not just my Zhao family, but also the people of Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty understands what your Majesty said." Zhan Zhao glanced at the sincere young emperor, picking up a piece of dessert.

Zhao Zhen curled the corners of his mouth calmly, and continued, "Secondly, I am also afraid that you will reveal your identity and be observed by Li Yuanhao. You must know that Li Yuanhao had a deep impression of you and Bai Yutang on the day of the competition. It's hard to save Chunni from getting out."

"Your Majesty's words mean that there are already other arrangements?" Zhan Zhao said.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said softly: "Uncle Huang has sent shadow guards to the border with the royal family's secret medicine. As long as we catch up with Chunni, we can find a chance to make her escape by feigning death."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, the person arranged by the Eight Sage Kings?In the past, he did have a lot of respect for the Eight Sage Kings. However, after the battle between Mr. Bao and the prince that night, he became a little more wary.From Da Song's standpoint, the Eighth Prince's actions are understandable, but he still can't accept that kind of heart-piercing sacrifice.

"I understand your thoughts." Zhao Zhen stood up, looked up at the young leaves growing on the treetops, "Trust the emperor one more time..."

"I dare not..." Zhan Zhao also stood up.

"Hehe, and you Zhan Zhao dare not..." Zhao Zhen took a few steps forward, waved back the servants who wanted to follow up, "The scenery in the imperial garden is nice, and Zhan's guards will accompany me for a walk?"

"Yes."

The two walked for a long time, leaving the servants far away, and then Zhao Zhen whispered: "Even if you don't believe him, you should believe me."

Zhan Zhao looked at him puzzled.

"Later, I also sent someone to follow, and I'm sure nothing will happen to Chunni!" Zhao Zhen shook his head, "I promised to bring Chunni back."

"Your Majesty is bothering you." Zhan Zhao lowered his head and said, he knew that Zhao Zhen also had his hands tied, and it was very rare for him to be able to do this.Fortunately, he asked Bei Xia for help, Mr. Gongsun seems to have a capable helper, Chunni...she should be fine.Now, Zhao Ling whose whereabouts are unknown is more worrying...

"Your Majesty summoned Zhao to enter the palace this time not just for this matter, right?" Zhan Zhao asked.If it was the only thing, the man would not leave all his attendants behind.

"Well, the Jiangning Mansion has reported to the police and discovered someone suspected of being Shao An." Zhao Zhen raised his head, as if a swallow had flown past just now.

"Yes, Mr. Bao ordered his subordinates to wait two days and go to investigate."

"Very good, I need Zhan to guard you to investigate secretly." Zhao Zhen picked up a budding red flower, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, "I have checked the royal archives, there was a great chaos in the palace, and the scroll of fire was taken advantage of by others Stolen. Under the pursuit of the royal guards, it was in Jiangning that he finally lost his trace."

"Your Majesty wants Zhan Zhao to retrieve the Scroll of Fire?" Zhan Zhao said, "It's just that, after nearly 20 years, I'm afraid that the person who knew it back then has passed away, and the Scroll of Fire may have been lost to other places." Back then, the shadow guards couldn't find it. Yes, how can I find Kaifeng Mansion now?

"The scroll of fire has the effect of gathering wealth. Jiangning has been as rich as the capital these years, which is the effect of the scroll of fire." Zhao Zhen shook his head, "I don't want you to find the scroll of fire. It's just that Shaoan appeared Over there, I am worried that it will be bad for Lingling."

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that Lingling's blood was the key to unlocking the seal. If the Scroll of Fire was really in Jiangning, and Shao An had a different intention, she would be the one in danger.

"I understand what your majesty means." Zhan Zhao cupped his hands, "I must pay attention to the whereabouts of the scroll of fire and find the princess back. Please rest assured, your majesty."

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, but before he could say the word "good", he suddenly slipped and fell straight into the imperial pond behind him.

"Your Majesty!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly jumped down upon seeing this.It's just that he himself is not good at swimming, so he managed to drag him to Zhao Zhen's side, and was dragged to death by the panicked people.

"Don't panic, Your Majesty, I will take you up." Zhan Zhao forcefully pulled away Zhao Zhen's hand that was hooking his neck, and dragged him to try to swim to the shore. Fortunately, the water in the pool was not deep, otherwise the cat and dragon would have to confess in one place. Isn't it a joke in the small pool.

Zhan Zhao grabbed the protruding rock by the pool, pushed Zhao Zhen up, and then climbed up out of breath, hey, I must learn how to swim from the fourth brother next time...

The flustered attendants ran over from a distance—"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Are you all right!!!"

Zhao Zhen supported the stone, wiped the water on his face, ground his teeth and said, "Next time I will definitely build a fence around the pool!"

Zhan Zhao burst out laughing, I said, Your Majesty, even building a wall won't stop you from walking and not looking at the road...

Zhao Zhen gave him a blank look: "Why are you laughing?! I didn't pay attention to my feet, and you didn't remind me! Also, as a Nan Xia, you can't swim..."

Zhan Zhaowangtian, whoever stipulates that Nan Xia will definitely know the water.Well, this point is really not good for him, at worst, he can learn from the fourth brother when he comes back...
