"You said it's the court lady named Yuzhan next to Yiyang?" Zhao Zhen looked at the white mist rising from the imperial case with his hands behind his back, with a confused look on his face.

A man who was covered in pitch black and couldn't see his face said in a low voice, "Yes. My subordinates have already checked. Yuzhan and the little eunuch Zhou Xiaofu who served in the Jinluan Palace had privately recognized their god-in-law, and it was he who leaked the news."

Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered that on the way to discuss things with Bao Zheng and Pang Yu that day, there were indeed a few guards who came in to deliver refreshments. After thinking about it for a while, he finally matched the name Zhou Xiaofu with the face in his impression, He was very concerned: "Keep the jade lamp first, Zhou Xiaofu will deal with it."

"Yes."

In the huge deep palace, one person was silently missing, and no one would care at all. Only Yuzhan fell ill for several days in a panic.

Kaifeng mansion.Yang Chizhang was pouring tea for Zhan Zhao who was out of breath: "How did you check?"

Zhan Zhao gulped down a large cup of tea, saving his thirsty throat. Before he could say anything, Bai Yutang reached out and patted him on the back to prevent him from choking on the water, and took the initiative to answer the question: "Your Majesty Bao's prediction is correct. Butcher Nazhu is indeed related to the men in black. We found the mandala mark in his house."

Zhan Zhao looked quite unhappy, and curled his lips and said, "Butcher Zhu is very cautious about hiding things. The tea table in his room looks like an ordinary table on the surface, but in fact the table is movable, and there are hidden mechanisms. Feel free to destroy it with a sword, and the things hidden inside will be destroyed automatically." Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao became proud again, and the cat's tail was raised high: "Fortunately, Master Zhan is very wise and powerful, how can such a small skill be difficult for me! ’ Then he took out a piece of paper and several blank envelopes painted with black mandala flowers, and continued: ‘This is what we found.’

The flimsy paper was rough to the touch, and it felt like it was made of the cheapest and most common material, but it was collected by Butcher Zhu as a treasure. Yang Chizhang looked down and saw that there were only a few words on it: "Yellow characters" One hundred ninety three".

"This is the serial number?" Yang Chizhang was a little uncertain, and picked up the blank letters to look at them again, "Could it be that Butcher Zhu is a messenger who delivered the news?"

"That's right!" Gongsun Ce sauntered in with a book in his hand, confirming Yang Chizhang's guess. "Do you still remember the Xixia Anbu I told you about before? I looked through the books for a long time, and finally found a few words in the books that the master left for me."

Yang Chizhang nodded, and then listened to Gongsun Ce continue to say: "In fact, the Anbu of the Western Xia royal family was established not long ago, only two or thirty years ago. However, its internal hierarchy is strict, divided into four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow, and the word heaven is respected, and the number of people is high." And the least. Assassination of Xuan Zizhang and intelligence of Huang Zisi. Since Xuan and Huang have appeared in front of people more times, there is only a little information about them. As for the more mysterious two parts of heaven and earth, they are in my master's book There is no record. Moreover, there is a real person in power above the four divisions of Tiandi Xuanhuang, and he is the heart of this organization."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Then, from this point of view, this Butcher Zhu must be a member of the Yellow Character Department of this organization. No wonder he was able to find a master of imitation characters."

Gongsun Ce also frowned: "The group of men in black must be the assassin masters of the Xuanzi Department. Everything is inseparable from this organization, and this organization belongs to Xixia, it cannot be called a coincidence."

Yang Chizhang couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand to smooth Gongsun Ce's eyebrows, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Bao will find a solution. Besides, Xixia will come to Kaifeng soon, and I will help you keep an eye on them." .”

Gongsun Ce was unprepared to be caught by Yang Chizhang, and when he heard Yang Chizhang talking to Bao Zheng like this, he also showed a sweet smile: "Well, with Chizhang here, everything will be fine." While Yang Chizhang was itching to poke the prickly dimple that made people laugh, he regretted that Ah Ce no longer blushed when he casually teased him like before.

Alas, in this way, there will be no blushing benefits in the future, you must know that the blushing Ah Ce is cuter than usual (mouth)!

Yang Chizhang is a man of iron blood and true blood who will do what he says, especially when he promises his wife, even if he goes up the mountain of swords and goes down into the sea of ​​fire, he must fulfill it.But I never expected that attending the palace dinner would be even more troublesome than going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​flames.

Yes, at this moment Yang Chizhang put on his official uniform of the Minister of Rites again, and sat at the lower head of the Minister of Rites, accepting round after round of intentional, unintentional, curious and malicious scrutiny.

Although the officials of the Song Dynasty have young talents like Zhan Zhao, their overall appearance is average. When have they ever seen such a good-looking and young Zheng Erpin!Look at the posture holding the white jade cup, that is a handsome and unrestrained temperament, and look at the appearance, there is no other person who is more handsome than him in Kaifeng!So the ministers who had a girl who had not left the court all asked, even if such a son-in-law is a straw bag, he is also a gorgeous splendid straw bag, and his own girl can eat two or two more meals every day just looking at it.

Even Zhao Zhen on the throne couldn't help but quietly asked Mr. Bao: "Bao Aiqing, is that the righteous man you told me to invite to help last time? It's called Yang Chizhang? The one who rejected Yiyang?" Before Zhao Yi left the palace excitedly but returned angrily, Zhao Zhen had already sent someone to investigate the cause and effect clearly.

For today's Zhao Zhen's birthday, Mr. Bao has been busy entering the palace early in the morning. Seeing Zhao Zhen asking him, he quickly swallowed the assorted buns in his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this is the person. Chi Zhang is a hero, a hero and a martial artist." Chao Qun is indeed the pillar of the country. And as far as I know, Chi Zhang already has someone he likes."

As an emperor, Zhao Zhen didn't care too much about the love of his sons and daughters, so he focused all his attention on Yang Chizhang alone: ​​"Oh? Then does this person have any idea of ​​becoming an official in the court? I can reward him A great general." Bao Zheng was a little hesitant when he heard the words, although Chi Zhang didn't have much communication with him, but after getting along for a long time, he naturally felt a thing or two.Worried that the emperor insisted on recruiting Yang Chizhang, Master Bao bit the bullet and helped him decline: "Well, this, Chizhang is used to wild cranes, and he wants to be a knight-errant, so he probably doesn't want to..."

Zhao Zhen's love of talents was poured cold water, and he felt a little regretful at once, but he also knew that it's better not to force someone like Yang Chizhang to be a dragon among people.Anyway, he is helping me now, and I don't need to give him a salary!Thinking of it this way was a huge advantage, so Zhao Zhen became happy again, and smiled at Yang Chizhang who was drinking.

Yang Chizhang, who was not flattered at all, only thought that Zhao Zhen was wrong: I go, why do these emperors love to laugh at people so much? Li Yan used to be, and Zhao Zhen is now, do you think this will make them appear Unfathomable? !

No, this will only make you look stupid, or the kind of stupid people who think they are smart.

Due to the difference in official ranks, Yang Chizhang is thousands of miles away from Gongsun Ce, and he can only watch Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao sitting together talking in a low voice from time to time, while he drinks without taste. liquor.But it must be explained that since Bai Yutang is not in the officialdom, and he doesn't like the royal family very much, he will definitely not come to such an occasion unless necessary.Therefore, today's Zhan Zhao is also a little listless like Yang Chizhang.

"It's time for the gift—" the shrill voice sounded, and Yang Chizhang's spirit was shaken, knowing that it was finally the highlight of the dinner.Those countries that came to celebrate their birthdays did not come here empty-handed to eat and drink for nothing, they all brought very expensive birthday gifts to Zhao Zhen.Every time an envoy presents a birthday gift, there are guards singing loudly beside him. If the gift is light, it will be ashamed and thrown to the whole world.Sure enough, Zhao Zhen is a white bread stuffed with sesame seeds. Seeing Feng Qingyun talk about nothing and don't care about anything, you are here to save face, in fact, you are extremely cautious.

"The Prince of Dali presents a pair of South China Sea Night Pearls and a Guanyin Jade Carving......"

"The prince of Tubo presented a pair of ginseng with ten thousand years of age, and a string of prayer beads consecrated by the holy temple..."

All countries presented birthday gifts one after another. Even the second prince of Liao Kingdom, Yeluni, who did not seem to be in good spirits, also presented three BMW horses and various exquisite jade stones.Among the many birthday presents before, it was considered the first one. Not to mention anything else, but from this birthday present, King Liao really gave Zhao Zhen enough face. No wonder Zhao Zhen's smile seemed more obvious.

Yang Chizhang took a careful look at Xiao Qingren who was standing behind Yeluni like a shadow, his complexion looked much better, but in just a few days, how could he be able to move freely so quickly, he must have eaten something Quick Reply The medicine or just hold on.Yang Chizhang thought with his fingers and knew that Xiao Qingren must be worried that his foolish prince would be tricked into it by someone else, or that his words would cause disputes, so he decided to accompany Yeluni even though his body was not fully recovered. Attend.But, Yang Chizhang glanced at Gongsun Ce's face from a distance, and sure enough, he saw that his sweetheart's face turned pale when he saw Xiao Qingren. In the words of his family's A Ce, even a patient who didn't follow the doctor's order deserved it right if he died!

Soon after singing the ceremony, it was time to go to Goryeo. The guard, whose mouth was as fluent as clockwork, paused strangely, and then continued to read in a somewhat surprised and speechless tone:

"General Koryo presented a deep-sea coral tree, 20 taels of fine ambergris...and one from Princess Yanxiu!"

"Pfft——" The sound of spouting wine came one after another, and all the civil and military officials in the room went to pick their ears at the same time. What does that mean? Am I deaf and misheard, how did I hear the Princess of Korea on the gift list? !

Yang Chizhang suddenly realized. He said why the relationship between the princess and the general seemed so wrong when he greeted the Korean envoy last time. The princess was not a representative who came to celebrate his birthday, but was presented by Korea. A "birthday gift"!

The author has something to say:

Giving gifts in ancient times is really troublesome. The stupid author knows nothing about it. I really want to write about giving the emperor Buberry coats and Lamborghini sports cars.

PS. Thanks to little angel Xiao Luowan for feeding mines!mwah!
