On February 4, 2051, the Blue Moon Empire Palace.
The Queen kept walking back and forth in the imperial study, looking quite dissatisfied, while Rick, who was standing respectfully on the other side, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
After a while, the queen said, "You asked me to tell me what you are good about. The things you gave me to do have not been done, but you have the time to go to Jinghua Pavilion to make trouble."
Rick thought to himself: Your ears and ears are so wise. But of course he didn't dare to say it, but just whispered: "It's a last resort for Weichen to go to Jinghua Pavilion."
"I have to see that you are happy."
"Your Majesty misunderstood me. I went to Jinghua Pavilion to investigate the case, and there were already some clues." Rick was anxious and even lost the title of "me" and directly said "I".
"What clue?"
Seeing that the queen's anger subsided, Rick secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I met a man in white in Jinghua Pavilion. He had a very high martial arts skills. He claimed to be from the Xueyi Sect and asked him to kill Weichen. Judging from his actions against Weichen, it is likely to be involved in a series of recent events. Moreover, Weichen is so blatant that he must have a very tough backstage behind him."
"You caught him?"
"No, he ran away with injuries."
"Is he that good at it? Aren't your men so capable?" the queen asked sternly.
Rick had to say helplessly: "Return to Your Majesty, it is indeed possible for Weichen's subordinates to capture him, but Weichen is unwilling to take risks and dare not take risks."
"Bold." The queen shouted, "You dare to disobey what I have handed you over?!"
"I dare not disobey." Rick bowed calmly, "but I am afraid of capturing him, and even more afraid that the case will be investigated endlessly, because I am small in power, lack of power, and lack sufficient power. But if Your Majesty must investigate thoroughly to the end, I am willing to take all possible risks."
After hearing his words, the queen's face changed slightly, then waved her hand slightly and said, "I will think about this matter clearly. No matter what, the people from Xueyi Gate must not let go. When you come back from Dakai, I will think of a proper countermeasure."
"Your Majesty sent me to Dakai?" Rick asked in surprise.
"Yes. I want you to do something, and it's done. I will grant you the position of commander of the imperial guards in the palace."
Rick had no idea of how powerful the commander of the Palace Guard had, so he was not very happy, but he was very curious about the Queen sending him to Dakai. What exactly needed to send him, a "major official" to a town like Dakai? Rick was confused and couldn't figure it out.
"There is a top-secret document here. You will not be able to disassemble it after you arrive at Kai. It contains what you want to do. It is estimated that it will take three days for you to perform this mission. Three days later. You have to continue to stay in Dakai, and wait until the special envoys of the Tabuzichi Empire and the Qin army arrive at Dakai, and you will escort them all the way back to Boint. I will send a team of thousands of people from the Queen's Legion to assist you, and you will set off tomorrow. In addition, Commander Tang will also go with you. Dakai has various medicinal materials and many pharmacists. If you can't cure Commander Tang's disease under such good conditions, I--"
Before the Queen's "threat" was released, Rick had already lit his head like a kowtower worm and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get everything done."
The queen nodded, just about to wave his hand to let him retreat. Rick suddenly looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"What's up?"
"Yesterday, I found two suspicious carriages outside the wall of the backyard of the mansion. After checking, I found that it was filled with special short guns for cavalry. These guns were engraved with a pattern similar to a small magic circle. It is said that this pattern is called "Wind and Thunder Seal", which can increase the power of energy in battle."
The queen's face changed slightly and she said, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Are those raids in your mansion now?"
Rick nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty."
"Then what do you think should be dealt with by those rifles?"
This time it was Rick's turn to change his face. He said what he had just said, but he didn't expect that the result would be more than worth the loss. It seemed that those who rode guns had to hand over to the official. Rick gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's better to seal it as evidence for the time being."
When the queen saw Rick's painful expression, a smile flashed in her eyes. She said, "I don't think there is any need. Since you have reported that you have made merit, I will reward you. Are you okay?"
How could this be bad? Rick cheered loudly in his heart and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, of course, good. Your Majesty is wise."
The queen thought to herself: What does it have to do with my wisdom or not?! However, since the words have been said, the queen is not convenient to take them back, so she waved her hand and asked Rick to retreat.
After Rick left, Concubine Ji Xue walked out of the secret door in the imperial study room. The queen asked, "What do you think?"
Ji Xuefei said with a serious face: "The special cavalry spear engraved with the wind and thunder seal is called the magic cavalry spear. There is only one place in Lanjiang that produces such weapons, that is, the Huaiyu family of the Xiuka Kingdom. This news is so important to us. This time he accidentally planted willows and picked up a big advantage."
"Look, who will give him this big advantage?"
"Then I have to ask the person who intercepted the Demon Knight's Armour."
"You mean, the magic knight's spear has been replaced once?"
"That's right." Concubine Ji Xue said confidently, "If I'm not wrong, the original owner of the Magic Cavalry Spear was probably the Prime Minister. Information shows that he had contacted people from the Huaiyu family who disguised as merchants, and had always been very close to them. Although the Magic Cavalry Spear is not a rare weapon, the Huaiyu family has always rarely been produced on a large scale. Therefore, only the Prime Minister who has a deep friendship with them can obtain a large number of Magic Cavalry Spears. As for the people who intercept the Magic Cavalry Spears, it is difficult to judge, because there are too many possibilities."
After hearing these words, the queen nodded and agreed, and then said, "It seems that wars in the north are probably inevitable. The motive for the four countries to devote their efforts to creating civil unrest in the imperial capital is obvious."
"It seems that's the case." Concubine Ji Xue sighed.
Leaving the palace, the carriage traveled south along Queen's Avenue. When he was about to reach the entrance of the street where the Duke's Mansion was, he suddenly saw a carriage running out of the street, boarding Queen's Avenue, and heading south. The carriage was carved with a light blue jelly flower - it was Rick's masterpiece. This was the carriage in his mansion, and it must be true. Rick also vaguely saw that the peach blossom red was sitting in the car.
She never went out. Rick was secretly suspicious in his heart, so he ordered the coachman to follow the peach blossom red carriage.
After a while, the carriage turned into a street and then walked through the alleyway as dense as a spider web. Rick looked at the scenery along the way and felt more and more familiar.
After about half an hour, the carriage stopped in an alley. On one side of the alley was the exterior wall of a large mansion, and a small door was opened at the corner - but it looked very peeling. Taohuahong got off the carriage with a food box, walked to the small door, pushed the door open, and then walked in.
Rick saw all this and his curiosity was overwhelming. At the same time, he also felt strange why the surrounding environment seemed so familiar. He also got off the carriage and asked the Ningfu Divine Guard, who was responsible for guarding him, to guard outside, and only Leng Ying followed him. The two of them quietly followed Taohuahong and entered the mansion.
When you enter the door, it seems to be a single courtyard in the mansion. There is a pond near the wall. However, it is already overgrown with weeds and the water in the pond is not confronted with. However, the exquisite stone arch bridge mounted on the pond seems to be able to withstand the baptism of wind and frost, and still shows its beautiful posture.
Peach Blossoms carried the food box and walked up the arch bridge in a few steps, then walked straight out of the courtyard. After leaving the courtyard, there was a small garden with a corridor passing through the garden connecting with the exit of the courtyard. Peach Blossoms didn't continue walking forward, but stopped in front of a rockery in the small garden. Then he took out the wine and food from the food box, lit incense and candles, and started worshiping. After a while, she couldn't help crying.
Rick and Leng Ying, who were following her, saw all this in their eyes and couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between Taohuahong and this abandoned house was. Before they could come and ask, the sound of clothes fluttering in the yard next to the garden suddenly sounded. After a while, two old men in green-stair coats and fierce faces fell on the wall diagonally opposite. One of the old men's electric gaze fell directly on Taohuahong. He laughed and said, "Girl, we are very destined to be together! You were able to escape sixteen years ago, and today I see where you can escape."
Taohuahong's face changed slightly and she said, "You have recognized the wrong person."
"We won't admit it." Another old man said viciously, "You are the only girl who escaped from her life in the Tao family sixteen years ago. I heard that your nickname is Hong'er."
Taohuahong's face changed again and said, "I'm not the person you are looking for, I'm leaving."
"Can you leave?" The two old men shook their bodies and had already jumped up to block Taohuahong. The first old man who spoke said, "You don't need to deny it. Since all the Tao family members are dead, there will be no one in this abandoned house. But you are here, and you know that today is the Tao family's day, so you come to worship. We have seen what you did just now. Now, we have to do something that has been choked in our hearts for sixteen years. Go to the underworld to accompany you, the dead ghost father who has been lonely for a long time!" At this point, the old man's eyes were fierce and his hands were raised.
