Chapter 72: The Black Cat Repays His Kindness(1/2)

Lingnan is still a wilderness for the Tang Dynasty at this time.

As the son of the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Jingzhi was also a son-in-law, and lived a life of luxury and food.

He was sent to Lingnan all at once, and it was difficult for him to adapt to all aspects. He had just arrived in Lingnan and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Wang Gui had a good relationship with the Feng family, the powerful Lingnan family, and he took care of Wang Jingzhi. They invited local witch doctors to treat Wang Jingzhi, and used Zhu Youshu. Wang Jingzhi became interested in Zhu Youshu because of this.

At that time, he didn't know how long he would be in Lingnan.

There is nothing wrong, and with the care of the Feng family, we have no worries about food and clothing.

So when he was free, Wang Jingzhi found a local witch doctor to learn Zhuyouzhi, and he had a deep attainment...

"It was also by chance that I learned that Huaiyuan was proficient in Zhuyoushu.

In such an emergency, I thought of him, so I took the wizard from Furong Lane to find it all the way."

"Slowly, Furong Lane is in Tongshanfang, this is Anrenfang, and the distance is not close."

"It's not close. I met Jinwu Guard several times along the way."

"Then you..."

"It's Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu helped us get here."

"Who is Xiaoyu?"

Di Renjie glanced at Mingkong, Mingkong stood up and walked into the dark room.

After a moment, she came out with a black cat in her arms.

The black cat looked dying, as if it was almost dead.

"It's Xiaoyu."

"A, black cat?"

Di Renjie said: "Second brother, Xiaoyu is actually a strange person."

With a clang, Pei Xingjian drew out his sword and took several steps back.

The black cat forced to open his eyes and looked at Pei Xingjian. A hint of disdain flashed in his green eyes. It screamed arrogantly, with a very low voice. Then, it closed its eyes again and curled up in Mingkong's arms.

"Second brother, don't be afraid, Xiaoyu is not bad."

"It's weird."

"There are good and bad things in strangeness. Although Xiaoyu is not human, she knows how to repay kindness.

It sent us here that day. Although Huaiyuan used the Zhuyou technique, it only stabilized the mage's condition a little, and it did not last long. That day, when it was almost dawn, the mage's aura was as bright as a wisp and could no longer support it. At that time, Huaiyuan and I were helpless and watched the mage... Fortunately, Xiaoyu used the spirit pearl as the mage to prosper."

"Spirit Pearl?"

"The Taoist priest practices inner alchemy, and the monk practices relics.

It is strange, and there are also spiritual beads, which are similar to the inner alchemy of Taoist priests and the relics of monks.

That was something that was related to its life, but at the critical moment, it gave the spirit bead to the mage.

The second brother may not understand that the so-called trick is actually the derivative of Taoism, which belongs to the side. Xiaoyu used the spirit bead to break the trick of Mingzhen to save the mage's life. But Xiaoyu himself turned into this."

After hearing Di Renjie's explanation, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but look surprised.

He looked at the black cat in Mingkong's arms and slowly put away his sword.

"In this way, this is weird... why does it save the wizard?"

"Because the mage saved it."

Mingkong interrupted, "Pinnie is not as deep as a Taoist practice. When Poinnie saw Xiaoyu for the first time, she thought it was just a black cat, and she didn't know it was weird. Although it was injured, it would not be seriously injured with its ability. People often say that if a cat has nine lives, how could Xiaoyu die easily? Poinnie took care of it and did not save it."

"I am grateful and I will sacrifice my life to save me.

Huaiyuan said that the spirit bead is the root of strangeness. If the spirit bead is lost, Xiaoyu is equal to... it is struggling to live now, and I am afraid it will not last long."

Di Renjie said, showing a sad look.

Pei Xingjian's eyes when he looked at Xiaoyu also became much softer.

He hated weirdness because his father and brother died at weirdness.

Especially his brother Pei Xingyan, at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, was known as the enemy of ten thousand people.

In the second year of Wude, Wang Shichong colluded with Wei Wei and became emperor in Luoyang. Pei Renjie and Pei Xingyan and his son were secretly preparing to uprising, but he expected that the uprising was not secret, and the uprising was leaked. Wang Shichong also knew that Pei Xingyan was powerful, so he drove Wei Wei to kill Pei Renji and his son.

Pei Xingjian was born when Pei Renji and his son died.

Fortunately, his family members tried their best to protect him and sent him back to Wenxi, which was considered to have saved his life.

Now, after hearing Xiaoyu's story, he couldn't help but have some new views on Weirdness.

"Huaiying, even if what you said is true, there is no evidence and no use."

He sat down and said, "Mingzhen, I can send someone to find him."

However, if she was Yi Ren, it would probably be difficult to find her. And you two, by the way, and Su Dawei, I cannot clear you of the charge of robbing prison by the three of you. Your Majesty is kind and loves your brothers and sisters very much.

Although the King of Wu was not born in the legitimate state, he was loved by the late emperor during his lifetime.

In this case, if there is no absolute evidence, Your Majesty will not allow us to attack the King of Wu..."

He didn't say anything further, but looked at Di Renjie and the others.

Both Di Renjie and Mingkong understood that it would be very difficult to find out Mingzhen if they did not solve the problem.

Ming Zhen Yijie had no foundation in Chang'an. Since she left Lingbao Temple, the King of Wu would definitely protect her. To be honest, even if Pei Xingjian, as the magistrate of Chang'an, it would be difficult to investigate again with the protection of the King of Wu.

Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief and fell into deep thought.

"Justice just now said that Ami once reminded the prince to be careful of Mingzhen and King Wu?"

"Well, it's not actually a reminder.

At that time, Su Qingjie, the son of the General of the Left Guard, felt sorry for Er Niang and was seriously injured, so he insisted on participating in the arrest.

He was arrogant and acted without permission, blocked Su Dawei in Furong Lane. I said, how could Su Dawei run away? The lion is that Su Qingjie was gifted since childhood and became an alien at the age of twelve. But Su Zhonglang was unwilling to speak out, so outsiders didn't know his identity. If Su Dawei was an alien, then it would be understandable that he could escape."

"Su Zhonglang's son is also Yiren?"

"Ha, what's so strange about this?

In fact, there are many noble children in Chang'an who are strangers, but for various reasons, it has not been stated.

As far as I know, the figure of Hu Guogong Qin Huaiyu is also an alien."

"You mean the stupid son of Duke Hu Qin Qiong?"

Mingkong showed a surprised expression, obviously knowing that Qin Huaiyu was the same.

However, this seems unsurprising.

When Emperor Taizong was alive, Mingkong was a talented man and helped Emperor Taizong handle official duties for a long time. He was also very familiar with the situation of the nobles in the court.

"Who is Qin Huaiyu?"

"The concubine son of Duke Hu, Qin Shubao, was said to be confused and stupid when he was born.

When the nun was in the palace, he heard that Duke Hu was quite disliked by him. However, the late emperor pityed him and pity him for being stupid, so he was appointed as the seventh-rank Yunqiwei Sanguan. After Duke Hu passed away, Qin Huaidao drove him out of the house. Fortunately, the late emperor heard that, he severely rebuked Qin Huaidao, and then gave Qin Huaiyu the position of garrison lord.

At that time, Poin Ni was wondering why the late emperor valued Qin Huaiyu so much.

If he was an alien... it seemed to make sense."

After Mingkong finished speaking, he said, "What else did Ami say besides reminding Mingzhen and King Wu?"

Pei Xingjian thought about it and blurted out: "Yu Pillow."

"What?"

"Su Dawei also reminded that Mingzhen seemed to be interested in jade pillows and said we know."

"It's the jade pillow I gave to my second brother before?"

“That’s right.”

Mingkong, on the side, said in confusion: "What are you talking about jade pillow?"

"Oh, it's the jade pillow of Princess Gaoyang's mansion, it is said to be given by Your Majesty."

"Thank you by Your Majesty?"

Ming Kong was a little confused first, but then suddenly remembered something and said, "But was the jade pillow used by the Emperor before his death?"

"It seems to be."

"That was something left to His Majesty by the late emperor. How could it be given to Princess Gaoyang?"

"I heard that Princess Gaoyang found His Majesty and said she liked Jade Pillow, so she asked for it from His Majesty."

Pei Xingjian felt a bad feeling in his heart.

He whispered: "Master, do you know the origin of the jade pillow?"

"Pinnie knew that the jade pillow never left his body before his death.

No matter where he rests, he will bring a jade pillow. Pomni also asked His Majesty, saying that the jade pillow is so strange that he can carry it with him. His Majesty said that the jade pillow is the relics of Empress Wende. If he takes it by his side, he will feel that Empress Wende is by his side."
