Origin

"You just came back, why are you running out again?" Wang Xinran tilted his head and squinted, "You can ask the people below to do some things. A leader who doesn't know how to use people is not a good leader."

"So many people died in the Battle of the East China Sea, and I can't spare anyone. Besides, others really can't do this." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and briefly told Wang Xinran about Leprongling Ridge.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's narration, Wang Xinran put out his cigarette butt and asked, "Do you suspect that this Hunyuan Cauldron is seriously radioactive?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yes, those people in Leprong Ridge were obviously affected by genetic mutations caused by radiation. It is not yet certain that the radiation they received came from the Hunyuan Cauldron, because these people's ancestors were tomb robbers. They must have gone there." There may have been more than one tomb, or it may have been radiation received from other places. There is a debit note in Leprong Ridge. It is best to find this ancient book. Even if not, you must try to determine whether the Hunyuan Cauldron is radioactive. If you bring it It’s radioactive, so this thing can’t be left here forever.”

"The statement that there is no radioactivity should be called radioactivity," Wang Xinran casually corrected Wu Zhongyuan's statement, and then added, "If your judgment is correct, then this matter is very strange. You must know that genes can cause Mutated radioactive materials are almost non-existent in nature."

"It doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all. Dasha is a living example." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That's different," Wang Xinran shook his head and said, "Your dung beetle was exposed to radiation from meteorites for a long time. The most important thing is that it is an insect. Insects do not have mammalian immunoglobulins and lack antibody responses. To put it in perspective, insects are more likely to mutate than mammals."

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown.

"What I mean is that those people in Leprong Ridge probably did not have genetic mutations caused by their ancestors being exposed to radiation, because there are no such radioactive sources in nature," Wang Xinran stood up and dragged his chair south, "at least not in this era."

Wang Xinran's words reminded Wu Zhongyuan, "By the way, there is another strange thing."

"Say." Wang Xinran said.

"Didn't Jiang Nan's father be killed by Zhao Ying? She was in a bad mood, so I took her out for a walk in early March..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could say anything, Wang Xinran waved his hand and interrupted him, "I'm not unreasonable. You don't have to tell me this. Just focus on the point."

So Wu Zhongyuan talked about the key points and narrated the incident where Jiang Tao invited him to enjoy singing and dancing, including the detailed process of his investigation afterwards and the results of the investigation.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan’s story,

Wang Xinran frowned, "What do you think of this matter?"

"I have been wondering," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Since the young man and woman know modern songs and dances, they must have been to modern times. When they went to find Jiang Zheng, I had just been born not long ago. They visited the Houniu tribe. He and the Bird Clan teamed up to attack Youxiong. It can be seen that these two people went to the Niu Clan to encourage Jiang Zheng to join forces with the Bird Clan to kill me, which shows that they have malicious intentions towards me."

"What did you give Zhao Ying when she left?" Wang Xinran's words were full of boredom. She had no hostility towards Wu Di and others, but she hated Zhao Ying deeply.

Wu Zhongyuan knew what Wang Xinran was suspecting. You must know that A Fire in the Winter was not an original Eastern song, but a cover of a Western song. Wang Xinran must have suspected that the hostile Western forces were behind it.

"I just gave a few antiques and nothing else," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't doubt her, I didn't give her the energy source to use the teleportation formation. In addition, the spiritual energy of this young man and woman is very pure and modern. It is impossible for people to have high spiritual energy cultivation."

Wang Xinran nodded slowly. She and Wu Zhongyuan have something in common in their way of thinking, that is, they both attach great importance to logic. As long as it is logical, they can accept even the most incredible things.

"Many things in this time and space are beyond our knowledge." Wang Xinran said calmly.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "These mysterious young men and women are a great threat to me. Unfortunately, Jiang Zheng is dead and their identities are a mystery."

"If they really want to kill you, they will appear again in the future. Don't talk about this. Let's talk about the present first. What are you going to do?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go to Leprous Ridge again. They were hesitant when I went last time, and I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't ask in detail where Hu Laosan died. Then I went there again. Went to the Snake Clan. Huang Youdao of the Snake Clan is an accomplice of Hu Laosan. If we can find this person, we may be able to find the debit note from Leprongling. The debit note records in detail the details of their robbery of the ancient tomb. We will not We need to go and explore them one by one, and we can roughly determine where the radiation they received came from just by looking at the debit notes."

"When are you leaving?" Wang Xinran asked.

"It's a little late now. Why don't you leave tomorrow? Your dress has been made and we will officially welcome you into the palace tonight." Wu Zhongyuan said. Although he had canonized Wang Xinran before, he had not held the ceremony to enter the palace. ceremony.

"These are all small things, avoid them if you can." Wang Xinran waved his hand and said.

"If that doesn't work, I have to give you an explanation." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.

What the emperor wants to do is very efficient. The dusk ceremony is officially held at sunset. In the past, weddings were always done at dusk, so it was called the dusk ceremony.

The three palaces are all head wives, and they all go to the main entrance to get married. The queen has to ride in a sedan chair, wearing a big yellow and red phoenix crown and a rosy hat. If Wang Xinran didn't have a lighter falling out of his sleeve during the greeting, the whole process would have been very grand and beautiful.

Although it is to marry the middle palace, the East Palace, West Palace and East Courtyard must also be present in costumes during the banquet. This is mainly to show respect for the middle palace. This is also a rule passed down from ancestors. When meeting, talking and expressing opinions, the general meaning is to have a harmonious meeting. , Never fight in the harem and cause trouble to the Yellow Emperor.

It's impossible to be like sisters, but it's still possible to be friendly. Wang Xinran was polite and courteous to Wu Di, and a little nicer to Jiang Nan. She also saw that Jiang Nan was hot-blooded, brave, and not very scheming. Wang Xinran is the kindest to Wu Qing, because Wu Qing has no fight with the world and has the most peaceful temperament.

After a tiring day during the day, Wang Xinran slept deeply. Wu Zhongyuan didn't need much sleep. After the third watch, he got up and went to Zhongtian Hall, where he reviewed a large number of memorials. He had to run out again at dawn, so he had to hurry up and deal with it. official business.

Another function of reviewing memorials is to know what happened in the various walled cities. Currently, he has more than 70 walled cities, and it is impossible to inspect them one by one. To understand the situation, he mainly learns through reviewing memorials.

Reviewing memorials is a very necessary and boring thing. It is the farming season now, and there are more memorials reporting on farming issues. There are also memorials sent from Kaicheng and Yinmahe. One is to express gratitude and the other is to report on the trade situation. Jiang from Yanshan Ci also has a clue, saying that the leopard and lin beast have recently increased their food intake and foraged frequently, so they may be pregnant.

This is good news. The leopard-lin beast has been married to a tiger-dragon before. If you are lucky, there is a possibility of giving birth to a female Qiongqi.

With a stroke of a pen, Jiang Ci was ordered to feed the leopard and lin beast every day to ensure that the leopard and lin beast got enough food.

In the early morning of May, the six ministries held meetings in the morning. Each ministry performed its duties and went step by step. He was busy non-stop every day and dealt with more things. In fact, the time did not pass too long. If you think about it carefully, the war on the East China Sea only happened in five days ago.

In addition to daily affairs, Wu Zhongyuan issued another imperial edict when he was about to retire. From now on until October is the time for animals to breed and raise their young. During this period, no one is allowed to hunt, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded.

This imperial edict is very strict, but it is also reasonable. Hunting at this time may indeed kill a pregnant female animal. Even hunting in summer may cause the death of the parent animal, and the cubs who are waiting to be fed will starve to death in the nest. No one understands such an edict. It is understandable that the tribesmen will not interpret it too much.

With this imperial edict, those outside the Central Plains who want to hunt and kill indiscriminately have to think twice. This is the way out he left for the orcs, and it is also the way out for the human race.

After the arrangements were made, the two set off on the road. Dasha had returned to the southeastern border and continued to dig mountains and roads. Wang Xinran's dragon colt was not long after it was born and could not be ridden. However, in the previous battle on the coast of the East China Sea, he had twelve purple spirits. The master died in battle, and the remaining golden eagles appeared. The two drove a golden eagle and rushed to Leprous Ridge with some gifts.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan come back, Hu Zhong was so frightened that he went out to greet him timidly.

Wu Zhongyuan gave the gifts he brought to Hu Zhong and others, and told him that he had obtained the Hunyuan Ding, but Hu Zhong had no special reaction. He didn't even know what the Hunyuan Ding was.

Wu Zhongyuan declined the other party's invitation to come into the room to talk, and only stood in the open space talking to Hu Zhong and others. He needed to confirm two things. One was when Hu Laosan died, and the other was whether the people in Leprong Ridge knew about the debit card. The whereabouts of the notebook.

When I came last time, Hu Zhong once said that Hu Laosan died many years ago, and the time was not very specific. When Wu Zhongyuan asked, he got the specific time, and he died nine years ago.

Hu Laosan had rarely returned to Leprong Ridge before, but then he suddenly came back from outside and died of illness not long after.

Although everyone in Leprong Ridge knew that Hu Laosan had stolen the debit note, Hu Laosan himself did not admit it. Before his death, the people in Leprong Ridge also asked him about the whereabouts of the debit note, but Hu Laosan did not admit it. San still denies it.

According to the accounts of everyone in Leprong Ridge, Hu Laosan was already in bad health when he came back from the outside. He kept coughing and finally coughed up a lot of blood.

Coughing is a problem with the lungs, and Minshan's miasma damages the human respiratory system. Although it cannot be concluded that Hu Laosan has suffered from Minshan's miasma just because he coughed, the possibility is still very high.

Hu Zhong knew that Hu Laosan was closely associated with a shabby member of the Snake Clan, but he did not know that his name was Huang Youdao. Hu Zhong suspected that it was this person who deceived the debit note from Hu Laosan, and the reason why he took the initiative He mentioned this because there was an ancestral instruction in Leprong Ridge that they were not allowed to set foot in the Southern Wilderness. He wanted to ask Wu Zhongyuan to help find the debit note.

Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to find the debit note, so he sent Hu Zhong a favor and asked why his ancestors in Leprong Ridge strictly prohibited their descendants from setting foot in the Southern Wilderness. Hu Zhong didn't know either. He just guessed that his ancestors had suffered losses in the Southern Wilderness and was worried. Future generations will repeat the same mistakes.

Confirming that Hu Zhong could not provide any more useful clues, Wu Zhongyuan took Wang Xinran and left Leprongling Ridge.

"Where are we going?" Wang Xinran asked casually.

"Going to Taiping Village again, the last time I went there, a man named Zhou Qin once said that he had met Huang Youdao seven or eight years ago," Wu Zhongyuan said, "I remember it very clearly. Huang Youdao looked nervous at the time, and he obviously had something in his heart."

"Do you suspect that Zhou Qin killed Huang Youdao?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I do have this suspicion, but I'm not sure, but this Zhou Qin must know something..."
