Hearing Batulu shouting, he took a deep breath. Batulu was far away in Shuzhou. If the situation hadn't been extremely critical, he would never have come to the capital, let alone shouting over the palace.

The emperor was so smart. When he learned that the person calling was his senior brother, he immediately realized that the second and third oldest in his mouth were Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu. He hurriedly said, "The change in the two generals is most likely related to raising money for the imperial court."

, things have priorities, you go and deal with them."

"According to the decree," he put away the imperial edict and left his seat and stood up, "Although there are many pressures on people's livelihood and military affairs at the moment, everything is getting better and the dawn has emerged. Your Majesty must take care of your dragon body and be at ease in everything."

"I understand, go quickly." The emperor waved his hand to urge.

He bowed his hands in salute, turned around and walked towards the inner door, then turned back and said, "When the emperor goes on patrol, he must bring more guards with him to ensure safety."

The emperor was originally sitting on the dragon couch. Hearing the words, he sat down sideways and walked towards each other, "You can go and be busy, don't worry about me."

When a guest comes to visit, it is normal for the host to see him off, but it is an unprecedented move for the emperor to see him off in person. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly and solemnly thanked him and stayed there.

Although he was afraid and refused, the emperor personally sent him out of the palace gate. At this time, Batulu was riding a fire unicorn and shouting from a high place. There was no response and he had already gone north.

The guards did not recognize Batulu, fearing that he would be harmful to the emperor, so they followed closely and watched as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Senior Brother, I'm here." He spoke with anger.

Hearing the response, Batulu turned around and looked south, "Where are you?"

"You are not allowed to fly over the important area of ​​the palace," he said loudly, "leave immediately and go back to the palace to wait for me. I will go back immediately."

"How long have we been, and we are still stuck in red tape," the emperor stood at the door and urged urgently, "General Li and General Chen are the pillars of the country. There is absolutely no room for failure. Go quickly, go quickly."

He turned around and saluted again, then made a gesture of protection to the emperor, Liu Tianlin, the commander of the imperial guards, and then left quickly.

As soon as you are out of sight of the emperor, you immediately use your physical skills to rush to the palace gate. Flying over the palace is equivalent to stepping on the emperor's head. It is really disrespectful and must not be done unless it is related to the emperor's safety.

In fact, when he heard that something happened to Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, he immediately became anxious. The reason why he forcibly restrained himself and used all the etiquette was because he didn't want the emperor to worry too much. If he rushed out as soon as he heard that something happened to the two of them, the emperor would think of the importance of the two in his heart.

Being more important than oneself is not a trivial matter. No matter how close the relationship between two people is, once one of them knows that there is someone more important than themselves in the other's heart, the close relationship will immediately be shattered and gone.

> It is precisely because of his proper handling that the emperor stayed at the hotel to see each other off, and gave many instructions to ensure the safety of the two of them. In fact, it was all his fault. If he did not consider the emperor, the emperor would not do so.

For his sake.

The palace is very close to the palace. When he rushed back in a hurry, Batulu had not yet landed. Baturu had come to the palace first, so Datou and others were all alarmed. They were all in the courtyard at this time.

Look up and wait for Batulu to land.

Not long after, Batulu rode the fire unicorn and fell to the ground in panic. He got off his mount and grabbed his arm, "Oh no, something happened to the second and third children."

Seeing Batulu's face full of sadness and nervousness, he hurriedly said comforting words, "Senior Brother, don't be anxious, go into the room and speak slowly."

"What kind of house are you going to go into? Go rescue people quickly." Batulu urged urgently.

"Where are they?" asked.

"I don't know." Batulu shook his head.

Hearing Batulu's words, Datou and the others looked at each other in confusion and frowned, "What? You don't know where they are?"

"I don't know, they didn't tell me when they left." Batulu shook his head again.

"Then how did you know something happened to them?" I was puzzled.

"What can I say?" Batulu scratched his head in worry, "They must have gone into the grave to get something and got trapped inside."

There were many servants in the mansion, and Batulu had a loud voice. Although the gold and silver buried with him were taken to provide disaster relief, people would definitely criticize him if this matter spread. He was afraid that Batulu would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly dragged him to him.

's residence.

"Hey, hey, my sacred cow." Batulu was worried about the fire unicorn.

"No one steals your cattle." He said casually.

Although they did not greet Datou and the others, the four of them still followed. Their relationship with them was no more distant than that of Li and Chen.

After entering and closing the door, he asked urgently, "What happened? Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"I caught a mute on the way here," Batulu said.

Batulu had a fever when he was a child and his brain was burned out. He could not express himself accurately and coherently, so he could only ask, "What mute?"

"The mute drivers," Batulu said, "When the second and third sons left, they picked some mutes who could drive the carts. They were supposed to be with the second and third sons, but in the end they ran away, taking the gold with them."

Batulu finished speaking

, they knew it roughly. In order to ensure that no news leaked out, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu did not mobilize the army, but selected some mute coachmen to transport the funeral utensils. As a result, one of the mute coachmen ran away with the gold.

While he was deep in thought, Da Tou asked from the side, "Uncle, where is that mute now?"

"Let me beat him to death with a stick," Batulu glared angrily. "When he saw me, he acted as if he had seen a ghost. He ran as fast as he could. It looked like he had done something bad. When I asked him what he had done, he didn't answer.

He said, hesitant and hesitant, it is clear that there is something wrong in his heart."

Hearing what Batulu said, everyone frowned. Batulu was really not an ordinary fool. The other party was a mute, and he felt that he was hesitant and didn't say anything.

He suppressed his anxiety and asked patiently, "Senior Brother, since you didn't ask anything, how did you know that something happened to the Second Senior Brother and the Third Senior Brother? Maybe the groom just took advantage of the Second Senior Brother and the Third Senior Brother to steal some gold and silver.

Lost." ??

"No," Batulu shook his head repeatedly, "I was there when the second and third elders were picking people. They specifically picked out the mutes who had families and families. They also said that such mutes didn't dare to do tricks, and monks who could run away couldn't run away from the temple.

If nothing happened to them, the mute would definitely not dare to run away."

After Batulu finished speaking, everyone nodded. His inference was quite reasonable.

"You don't know where they are now?" he asked again.

Batulu shook his head, "I don't know, they have been gone for a long time."

"Where did you meet that mute?" asked again.

"On the way here," Batulu raised his hand and pointed south, "that guy must have been unlucky. I was flying in the sky on the sacred cow, but suddenly I went to pee in a hurry, and I was bumped into."

"Where is the mute body?" asked.

"Throw it over there." Batulu replied.

"Where did you throw it?" He frowned.

Batulu said, "In the mountains, he was walking on the road. When he saw me, he ran into the mountains. I chased him and beat him to death without questioning him."

"Can you still find the body?" asked.

"It should be possible, the place is not difficult to find." Batulu said.

"How far is it from here?" he asked again.

"It seems to be several hundred miles away." Batulu was not sure.

Seeing that there were no more questions, the boss on the side asked again, "Uncle, where is the gold that the mute stole?"

"I didn't take it," Batulu said. "When he saw me angry, he took out the gold and wanted me to spare him. They must have blocked the robbery hole and killed my brother.

Already."

I was unsure, so I asked a few people for their opinions, "What do you think?"

Datou was the first to speak, "I think what you said makes sense. The second and third masters have considered everything carefully and acted meticulously. If there had been no accident between them, the mute driver would have never dared to escape without permission because he was worried about being held responsible afterwards."

After speaking, Yang Kai and the three of them all nodded.

Yu Yi then said, "It's just that right now we can't be sure whether they had an accident during the escort or something happened during the transportation."

Hearing the conversation between the two, he turned to look at Batulu, "Elder brother, you have been following Master for the longest time. You know most of the tombs that Master has been to. As far as you know, are there any big tombs in the area where the mute is?

"

Batulu tilted his head to recall, then frowned and shook his head after a long time, "It seems not, and besides, I don't remember much. Master always goes to the grave in the dark, and sometimes I don't know where it is."

The big head looked over and said, "Your Majesty, let's leave early. The gold and silver that the mute stole were all buried with him. Maybe we can find clues from those gold and silver."

"It's all gold, no silver." Batulu interjected and corrected.

After pondering, he took out the two imperial edicts from his arms, first handed the imperial edict to restore Shi Xuanming's Buddhist scriptures to Shi Xuanming, and then handed the imperial edict ordering the Shaolin Temple monks to go to war to Yang Kai, "Big Head and I are leaving.

One trip, you three will stay, and if we haven't come back in three days, you will make the trip."

Yang Kai took over the imperial edict and nodded solemnly.

"Shuzhou's soldiers and horses have already gathered and set off, right?" He looked at Batulu.

Batulu nodded repeatedly, "I pulled it out, I pulled it out, but I didn't go with them. I missed you, so I left first."

After nodding, he didn't ask any more questions. He took out the baggage and wrapped the fruit snacks on the table. He also found a water bag and filled it up. Then he went to the stable and rode the black master to go south with Batulu and Datou.

Batulu had come from the sky before, but now he returned the same way, so he would not easily get lost. After traveling four hundred miles south, he actually found the mute body in the mountains.

The mute's head was smashed by Batulu, and he was dead a long time ago. He and Datou found seven or eight round gold cakes the size of the bottom of a bowl from the body's waist, and then found a few more from the surrounding grass.

More than a dozen gold cakes were of the same style, each weighing half a catty. After inspecting the gold cakes, Datou and I looked at each other. The styles and shapes of gold in different dynasties are different. It seems that this round gold cake only appeared in the Qin Dynasty.
