175, blood needs to be cold

Sheng Yu Dan is the life-long effort of a medicine official and the treasure of Daoting Zhenshan.

Even in the Taoist courts of Huangshan Mountain and Laojun Mountain, there are only two Yaoguan who can refine this elixir.

Now, the extremely precious Sheng Yu Dan was lying quietly on the ground. Everyone looked at it. The eyes of the Golden Pig, Cloud Sheep, White Rabbit, and Meng Chicken could not hide the burning heat, but no one dared to pick it up. Their eyes turned to Prince Jing again, only to see Prince Jing standing silently in the ancestral hall, looking down at Concubine Jing's body without saying a word for a long time.

The Jiefan Guards and the Qiansui Army waited quietly, leaving only the howling cold wind. The huge Liu family mansion was obviously full of people, like an empty ruins. A massive rebellion ended without any success, leaving only a pile of chicken feathers. .

Silently, Bailong bent down and picked up the blood-stained Shengyu Pill, wiped it with his sleeve and put it back in the box: "Your Majesty, this Shengyu Pill..."

Prince Jing ignored him and only whispered: "Since Liu Gelao entered the official career, he has served as the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel. The year your Majesty ascended the throne, people in the capital were panicked and the vassal king was ready to move. It was only through him and his father that he and his father set things right. To calm down the overall situation and help His Majesty ascend the throne. Although he made mistakes in his life, he also made meritorious deeds. He gave his father and daughter a generous burial...and that Master Liu."

Feng Daban raised his hands and agreed, "Yes."

Prince Jing turned around and asked, "Where's Lingyun? Why haven't you seen her?"

Feng Daban replied: "She must have been sent away by Mr. Liu Ge. Do you need me to chase her back?" King Jing sighed: "Let her go."

He stepped out of the ancestral hall and walked towards the door: "Go back to the palace."

After walking a few steps, he saw Bai Long blocking the way, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, the Liu family's Elephant Armor Camp and Tiger Armor Cavalry have not yet been settled. For your safety, please stay in the Liu family's mansion for the time being and don't go back yet. Luocheng." Prince Jing stopped and stared at the gilt dragon-patterned mask quietly. The white dragon refused to back down and looked at him.

The atmosphere outside the ancestral hall suddenly became tense. Jiaotu pursed his lips slightly and took a small step back towards Yunyang.

King Jing looked at the Jie Fan Guards in front of the ancestral hall and saw that the guards were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, their faces hidden in the shadows under the bamboo hats and their expressions invisible. He then looked at the guards who were wearing armor and had red tassels on their heads. Chitose Army, I saw the Chitose Army officers and soldiers slowly put their hands on the handles of their swords, and their swords were at war with Jiefangwei.

Prince Jing suddenly smiled. He looked back at Mr. Liu Ge who was still on the beam, and said in a vicissitudes of voice: "Okay, just as Mr. Bailong said, let's live in the Liu family's mansion first. Chitose The army listens to the order, and you will go to help suppress the rebellion immediately, and don't let the Elephant Armored Battalion and Tiger Armored Cavalry cause another disturbance."

The Chitose Army general hesitated.

Prince Jing smiled and said, "I can't control you anymore? Go quickly." General Chitose Army clasped his hands in his fists: "The last general takes orders."

After that, he led the thousand-year-old army and turned around to leave. In an instant, the Liu family mansion was half empty.

Bai Long said with a smile: "Your Majesty understands righteousness and respects his humble position. The internal affairs department has said that the Liu family's criminal evidence must be nailed down, leaving those civil servants speechless. So there are still many documents and confessions that need your help to make up for it, which is just right. Sort out the entire incident and bring all those involved in the rebellion to justice."

Prince Jing laughed loudly: "I'm tired today, let's wait until tomorrow. Lord Bailong is busy first, I'll go back and rest later." On the side of the prince, Bai Li was still looking for traces of the figure in the crowd and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Prince Jing took him away.

Before the scattered corpses of the Liu family had been cleared away, the Jiefan guards had already dispersed to the Liu family's mansion to search the house and take inventory of their belongings.

Jie Fanwei pulled out the table where the tributes were placed in the ancestral hall. The four accountants sat in front of the table and laid out four abacuses.

One accountant is responsible for counting the house title deeds, one is responsible for counting the gold, silver and copper coins, one is responsible for counting the secret accounts of the Liu family's fields, and one is responsible for counting the slave deeds. The abacus beads are allocated in front of the Liu family ancestral hall. With a crackling sound, a huge whale collapsed and decomposed in the lively sound.

In the alley opposite the ancestral hall, Yunyang and Jiaotu came to Chen Ji with half-smiling smiles: "Young man, long time no see."

Chen Ji originally watched Prince Jing leave solemnly, but when he heard this, he immediately turned around and said with a smile, "I thought it was a pity when the two adults were imprisoned, but now I feel relieved to see that you two are safe and sound." Yun Yang asked with a smile. : "Are you really relieved?"

"Well, don't worry."

Yunyang slowly calmed down his smile: "Let me ask you, when the coffin was opened for autopsy, was it you who reported the news to the Liu family?" Chen Ji was startled: "Why did Mr. Yunyang say this? I didn't know that the two of you wanted to Let’s open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.”

Jiaotu tapped his shoulder with a slender green-white finger, and said with a sweet smile: "But you are the only one who knows that we have gone to inspect the Liu family's ancestral tomb. If you weren't the one who told the secret, you would find the person who told me the secret. Otherwise, hum." Chen Ji said helplessly: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

Yunyang smiled and said, "That's not up to you."

At this moment, a chubby figure squeezed into the middle of the three of them, and pulled Chen Wei behind him with a smile on his face: "You two capsized in the ditch, so don't blame the newcomers. Originally, the internal minister still ordered me to live. I secretly revealed a flaw to the two messengers so that the Liu family could be careless, but I didn't expect that the two of them went to jail themselves because of their confusion, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Yunyang looked at Golden Pig, his handsome face slowly frowning: "Golden Pig, do you want to protect him?"

The Golden Pig said cheerfully: "There is no need to protect or not. We all work for the Internal Prime Minister, so we should be like-minded. He also has a share of the credit for successfully overthrowing the Liu family this time. Now the Internal Prime Minister has given If he goes down the path of cultivation, he might become a senior official one day, and you two are afraid..."

Jiaotu's eyes widened and he interrupted: "Fat pig, are you threatening us? Be careful, I'll stab you. Do you still remember that I helped you when others bullied you in Wu Nian Mountain?" Jin Pig pouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who bullies me the most?!"

The White Rabbit tilted his head, looking past the golden pig's fat head and looking at the traces behind him: "Young man, do you want to continue working with us in the future? We were very happy to cooperate before."

Yunyang also helped: "In the "Top Three Zodiac Signs" of the Secret Service, Master Sick Tiger has no idea where he is, and Master Pegasus likes to be alone. In terms of ability and authority, Master Bai Long must be at the top. .If you do what we do, you will do what Mr. Bailong does. You will have a bright future."

The Golden Pig's expression changed: "Poaching someone in front of me? Is there any other way to do this?" The White Rabbit said with a smile: "He was originally brought into the Secret Service by us."

Golden Pig stopped paying attention to her, turned to look at Pegasus standing on the roof in the distance, dressed in white, and waved: "Pegasus, look this way, look this way, Yun Sheep and White Rabbit want to talk to you!" Yun Sheep glanced at Pegasus, and without waiting for the other party to arrive, he turned to Chen Ji and said meaningfully: "From now on, we will be colleagues. There must be opportunities for cooperation. Let's go, White Rabbit." After that, he pulled Bu Qingbu. The wishful white rabbit stood behind Bailong.

Jin Zhu lowered his voice and said to Chen Ji: "There are many factions in the Li Prison. These two people have been working for Bai Long and are lawless! From now on, you will follow me and Tianma. We will keep you safe. We will find an opportunity to kill you when the time comes. One of them, you are the new zodiac sign!"

Chen Ji looked strange: "Do you really want to kill one of them?"

The golden pig asked of course: "How else could you become the zodiac sign? You can kill both of them together!" Chen Ji asked curiously: "There isn't even a spare spot?"

Golden Pig shook his head: "No."

Chen Ji asked: "The top three are White Dragon, Tianma, and Sick Tiger. Lord Bailong has White Rabbit and Cloud Sheep under his command. Who else is under Lord Tianma?"

The golden pig lowered his voice: "I am the only one in the Pegasus group at the moment, but you don't have to worry. When you become a zodiac sign, our group will become stronger." Chen Ji looked strange: "The rest of the zodiac signs are all diseases. Mr. Tiger’s people?”

"No, no, no," the golden pig counted on his fingers: "The prison rat is in charge of the inner prison and hides in the smelly inner prison every day without acknowledging his relatives; the corpse dog leads a group of people to go around alone, specifically to help the inner minister. Digging graves and opening tombs; Shan Niu is the personal guard of the Prime Minister, sitting in the Jie Fan Building every day without going out; Meng Ji is more like a chicken thief, helping whoever gives money; and Black Snake and Treasure Monkey, these two This person is Lord Wu Xiu."

Chen Ji had heard the name "Wu Xiu" many times, and he wondered: "Who is Mr. Wu Xiu?"

Jin Zhu reminded: "Master Wu Xiu is the great eunuch beside His Majesty. If you go to the capital in the future, be sure not to offend him. This person is the most vindictive."

After that, he added: "But remember, no matter who we work with, in the end we are working for Mr. Nei Xiang. As long as we remember this, we will not make huge mistakes." Chen Ji suddenly asked: " Has Lord White Dragon been by your side these years?"

The Golden Pig recalled: "I think he was here half the time. However, the Interior Minister has extremely important matters and will be given priority to him. He is also a person who sees the beginning but never ends. You have to be careful with him, he has a thick face. He is extremely vicious and evil. He is responsible for half of the cases where secret agents have confiscated their homes and destroyed their families over the years. Why do you ask this?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "Master Golden Pig, where is Mr. Feng at this time?"

Jinzhu was a little angry when he heard Mr. Feng's words: "How did I know this? I only learned that he was one of ours in Longwang Tun. He was obviously one of our own, but he didn't know where the hatred came from. He beat me so hard." Cruel! If you meet him in the office in the future, you will have to give him some obstacles!"

Chen Ji lowered his head and remained silent.

The golden pig asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Ji said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Golden Pig, for clearing up the confusion."

"Thank you," Jin Zhu happily patted his shoulder: "When I was dragged away by the old boy named Feng, if you were willing to draw a sword for me, you are one of our own." Chen Ji shook his head: "What will happen to me in the end?" I didn’t do it either.”

The golden pig turned to look at the long and deep bloody road in the Liu family's mansion, and said with emotion: "In this evil world of five turbidities, everyone can't help themselves. It's enough to have that kind of heart."

Speaking of this, the Golden Pig smiled and said: "However, if you are dragged behind a horse next time, if I don't draw the sword for you, just think that I have drawn the sword for you in my heart, don't blame me. "Chen Ji couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie. He could only agree: "Okay."

Golden Pig asked: "You have been running around these days, do you need to take a rest?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "Your Excellency, please lend me a horse and a spy badge. My master and two senior brothers are still in the city. I have to go back to find them."...

At sunrise in the early morning, horses galloped along the official road, and the bustling market-goers and bullock carts of the past disappeared.

The south gate of Luo City is no longer closed. The men and horses of the Military and Horse Division have disappeared, replaced by the unknown military flags. The blood stains on the stone road inside the city gate have not been cleaned yet. Along the way, there are wine shops, grain and oil shops, Noodle stalls, clothing shops, and every door are closed, creating a depressing scene, like a border military town outside the desert.

When Chen Ji arrived in front of Prince Jing's Mansion, there were more than ten Jiefan guards guarding him.

He jumped off the horse, held the reins and walked forward. Jie Fanwei pulled out his saber together and shouted coldly: "Stop!" Chen Ji took out his waist badge from his arms: "Secret agents from the Secret Service are here to find peace. Medical doctor Yao Taiyi."

A guard looked at him under the bamboo hat and said, "Mr. Yao and Mr. Chen have already left the palace. You'd better go back to the medical clinic to find them." Chen Ji thanked him and returned to the Taiping Medical Clinic, but the door was tightly closed. Close.

He frowned and pushed open the door: "Master, I'm back!" No one answered.

Chen Ji led the war horse through the main hall and walked to the backyard. The courtyard was deserted, with only the red strips of cloth on the apricot trees adding a touch of warmth... Could it be that Jie Fanwei was deceiving himself? He shouted loudly: "Master, Master Are you at home?"

The next moment, he saw a fire burning under the kitchen stove, and a pot of white porridge was cooking on the stove, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The master and others were indeed released, but he didn't know where they went. Chen traces After thinking for a moment, he tied the reins of his war horse to the almond tree, turned around and took off his clothes in front of the water tank.

He poured gourds of icy-cold water from his head to wash away the dust all over his body. He didn't stop until his skin all over his body turned red.

Just as he was going back to his dormitory to change into dry clothes, he heard old man Yao's disgusted voice coming from outside the door: "Old man, I will go out for a while, and you will make all the water in the yard. Are you a shrimp soldier and crab general in Luohe River? I like it so much." Shower with cold water?" Chen Ji heard a familiar mean voice in the room and laughed.

He buttoned up his sloping collar and walked out the door: "Master, where are Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Liu?"

Old Yao said disgustedly: "The two cowards cried for father and mother after being put under house arrest, so I let them go home to rest. As for the dark cloud, I haven't seen it for several days." Chen Ji explained: "It helped me find someone. Already."

Old Yao glanced at him sideways: "When you see it, tell it to go home and take a look."

Chen Ji hummed and looked towards the kitchen: "Master, have you cooked my food?" Old Yao sneered: "Short-lived ghosts don't need to eat, it's a waste of food." Chen Ji was startled: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Old Yao stood under the apricot tree with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the red cloth strip on the apricot tree and said, "You are a very smart baby, but you are not smart enough." Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "What should I say?"

Old Man Yao said: "In the eyes of the smartest people in the world, there are only interests and no emotions. Look at all the Gong Gong princes in the court. Which one of them has not practiced Ming Zhe to protect himself to perfection? You can't live long if you are so desperate. Boy. , after you became concerned, your heart became confused. When you were in Cuiyun Lane, you shouldn't have mixed up with the soldiers, and after you arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, you shouldn't have taken risks to save people under Mr. Feng's nose."

Only then did Chen Ji understand that Old Yao knew everything, and he didn't know where Uncle Crow was hiding and watching. Jing could see his every move clearly. He said stubbornly: "But I can't really kill you, can I?"

Old Man Yao sneered: "Mr. Feng clearly saw that there was something wrong with your identity, so he ordered us to be killed. Behind Zhang Zhuo is the Xu family, and I am an imperial doctor with nothing to do with him. Why did he kill us? If it were normal, you would have You should have figured this out, but you didn’t yesterday.”

Chen Ji stopped talking.

Old Man Yao continued to ridicule: "When you see the golden pig being dragged away, you can't help but take action, regardless of the situation you are in; when you see someone trying to kill the white carp, you don't even have the basic composure. If it weren't for Pegasus Just killed, can you still breathe and talk to me now?"

The small courtyard became quiet, and neither the master nor the disciple spoke anymore. After a long time.

After Old Man Yao squinted at Chen Ji and lowered his head in silence, he finally sighed: "Boy, I think you are still young so I won't say more. But I will only remind you once. If you want to achieve something, your heart can be hot, but your blood must be cold. "Chen Ji hummed: "Thank you, Master, I will remember it."

At this moment, the wooden door of the medical center was pushed open with a creak, and someone came uninvited.

Chen Ji turned around and looked, his pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw the masked Bailong walking towards me, with the blood stars still on his clothes. Chen Ji calmly asked: "Master Bailong, what are your orders?"

Bai Long carelessly brought a chair and sat down in the courtyard, then raised his head and explained: "Passing by Taiping Medical Center, come in and have a rest. Don't be nervous, sit down and chat." Old Yao raised his feet and left: "You guys chat, My old man still needs to cook."

Bai Long watched Old Yao enter the kitchen and turned to look at Chen Ji: "I heard from Yunyang that you don't want to work under me? Do you know how many people in this ceremonial prison want to work for me, but I can't see it? Go with them." Chen Ji thought for a while and replied: "Master Bailong, it's not because I don't want to, but because I have already served under Master Golden Pig."

Bailong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again and asked, "What if the golden pig dies?" Chen Ji was shocked: "Why did Master Bailong kill each other?"

Bai Long laughed loudly: "That guy from Golden Pig talks ill of me behind my back all day long. I've wanted to kill him for a long time." Chen Ji frowned.

Bailong said with great interest: "That's all, how come you take it seriously when you hear a joke? I won't joke with you anymore, I'm here specifically to find you." "Huh?"

Bai Long asked in a solemn voice: "Someone from the Liu family reported to me that Prince Jing had made a fake show before encircling and suppressing the Liu family. He sent Concubine Yun to secretly contact the head of the Military Intelligence Department of Jing Dynasty to discuss important matters. Later, the military intelligence department's forces in Luo City were completely surrounded and suppressed, so he gave up his thoughts of rebellion and continued to act according to my plan as a last resort."

Bai Long asked in a deep voice, "Did you know that Prince Jing wanted to make a show and really do something?" Chen Ji's heart suddenly tightened.

Isn't Concubine Yun's connection with the Military Intelligence Department a trap set up by the Secret Intelligence Department and Prince Jing? If not, has Prince Jing really thought about taking advantage of the situation to rebel? No, no, no, that's not right!

It's the secret agent who wants to take advantage of the agency to trap King Jing!

From the beginning, this game was not only about killing the Liu family, but also about killing two birds with one stone! Bai Long asked calmly: "Why don't you speak?"

Chen Ji said casually: "Master Bailong, how could Prince Jing let me know about such a big event? Why don't we capture Concubine Yun and ask."

Bai Long said with a smile: "Fei Yun is a smart person. When she saw the opportunity, she hid immediately. My people searched for her all night but could not find her hiding place." Chen Ji said regretfully: "It's a pity. If we catch her, we can of course force out the truth."

Bai Long said: "Now that this key witness is not here, I would like to ask you, you are very close to the prince and the princess, have you ever heard a word from them?" Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

Bai Long asked again: "Then if I threaten Bai Li's life, can I force Concubine Yun out?" Chen Ji shook his head: "I don't know."

Bailong's tone became sharper: "You don't know, or you don't want to answer? Young man, you need to understand that you are a member of my secret spy department. If you cover up the serious crime of treason, you will also be punished with death."

Chen Ji said calmly: "Master Bailong, I have nothing to do with Concubine Yun. Of course I can't answer the questions you asked. Otherwise, I will help you capture Concubine Yun. As long as we catch her, the truth will be revealed." The white dragon under the mask stared at him for a long time, then chuckled and stood up: "It doesn't matter, you just have a good rest. Maybe when you are full of energy, you can remember the clues and leave."

After that, Bai Long slowly disappeared outside the door of the medical center with his hands behind his back. He came and left suddenly.

Chen Ji stood up and looked across the corridor at the deserted Anxi Street outside. He looked back at the apricot tree and walked out. Old Yao walked out of the kitchen with a pottery bowl and said in a calm tone: " Are you in such a hurry to go out that you don’t want to eat?”

"Well, I won't be eating at home."

Old Man Yao sneered: "Remember what I just told you?"
