At noon, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the teahouse mentioned in Xuanyuan Poxin.<>

The teahouse guy took them to the third floor.

Xuanyuan Po had been waiting in the private room for a long time. When he saw someone pushing the door in, he looked up and saw the two people coming in, he was stunned and then smiled and shook his head.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao sat down at the table opposite him.

"You two are going to enter the palace together?" Xuanyuan Po asked.

Bai Yutang nodded.

Xuanyuan Po held his chin, "Well, it's okay, at least there is a way to take care of him, and there is still someone to pass on the message. But it may also cause suspicion... You two need to deal with it."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Will you see Xuanyuan Jie tomorrow?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Po nodded, "My father will be in Xibeihai County tomorrow morning. In fact, this time he mainly came to participate in the annual martial arts examination."

"Martial Arts Examination?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Similar to selecting the top martial arts scholars?"

"Not this, Beihai originally valued martial arts and over literature. My father liked to watch martial arts competitions. He asked each county to hold a martial arts test every year. The first in each county would go to the imperial city to participate in the competition held by the palace. The one who won in the end would get the title of the No. 1 master of Beihai, and thus successfully enter the army. It may also be chosen by several of us princes to be helpers. In short, each of them has a lot of prospects.

"Why does Xuanyuan Jie like to watch martial arts competitions?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Yes, my father attaches great importance to martial arts tests and will come to see them every time." Xuanyuan Po nodded.

Zhan Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Bai Yutang, "I have a suggestion."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, as if he had understood Zhan Zhao's intention, "Maoer, are you going to take the martial arts examination?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "If I get involved in the palace with you, if I am recognized, then you will be dragged down, which means that all your previous efforts are wasted? Besides, even if you can enter the palace, you will be a prince. Xuanyuan Jie may not let you understand military affairs so quickly. But if my school pretends not to know me first, I will go to the martial arts test and find a first-class solution. If you enter the palace smoothly, then you will be the prince. At that time, you will be legitimate to pick me up with your helper. I may have a chance to get familiar with his troops."

Xuanyuan Po nodded, "This plan is very good and it will not easily arouse my father's suspicion."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly. Zhan Zhao's method was indeed good, but... he was a little worried.

"You'd better worry about yourself." Seeing Bai Yutang's worry, Zhan Zhao reminded him, "Even if I can be the first, I don't need to stay by Xuanyuan Jie's side. You are different. You are like accompanying the king, and he is still a tyrant."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"I will arrange the participation of Brother Zhan. It's so easy to do it." Xuanyuan Po said, looking at Bai Yutang, "Have you ever thought about how to meet my father by chance?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and that meaning - of course he never thought about it.

Xuanyuan Po held his forehead - Sure enough.

"You Bai Yutang are a knight after all, and there are always some reasons for traveling all the way to Beihai." Xuanyuan Po said, "In addition to watching martial arts competitions, my father also likes to walk around. But every time he either goes up to the city tower to have a cup of tea in the nearby teahouse, or goes to the piano store or something..."

"Piano Store?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Does Xuanyuan Jie like playing the piano? It doesn't match his tyrant's identity."

"Haha, I'm very surprised at this," Xuanyuan Po said, "He likes to listen to the piano everywhere, but he doesn't have any songs he likes. In short, he just listens casually."

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, and then took out a paper roll from his pocket. This test paper was also one of the small items given to him by the Silver Demon King, and it was wrapped with a copper hoop. Bai Yutang had opened it before and read it. There were a few piano scores written on the paper.

Bai Yutang is proficient in music. When I read it before, I thought the piano score was weird and incomplete. I don’t understand what the Silver Demon King is doing for him, but now when it comes to piano... it might be an opportunity.

Bai Yutang asked Xuanyuan Po, "Where does Xuanyuan Jie like to listen to the piano the most?"

"The one he went to most often was the piano shop near my palace. The cedar zither in Beihai is very popular. Every year, many people from other places come here to buy pianos. There are often some talented men and beautiful women trying pianos inside. My father likes to listen to people trying pianos the most."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll go buy a piano and try it out."

"It's best if you are prepared." Xuanyuan Po nodded, then changed the topic and asked with a smile, "Zhao Pu is back to Heifeng City."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him - are you quite informative?

"For our people in the northwest, Zhao Pu is an existence that cannot be ignored. He suddenly returned to Heifeng City, which naturally leads to imagination." Xuanyuan Po said, "I will temporarily suppress Meng Qing's affairs. My father will not care about the life and death of these descendants. He may not remember that Meng Qing has such a cub, so he should not contact you."

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang nodded.

"In addition, Zhao Zhen is very smart." Xuanyuan Po smiled faintly, "He asked people to investigate Beihai in a high profile."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both stunned.

"In this way, on the one hand, Zhao Pu's return to the border can be explained. On the other hand, my father also made me suspicious whether there was a traitor in the palace." Xuanyuan Po said.

"Then aren't you very dangerous?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Haha." Xuanyuan Po sneered, "Being his son is dangerous every day, and I've been used to it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both born in a relatively happy and harmonious family. Their parents have loved relatives since childhood, so they are not very understanding how Xuanyuan Po's vigilance and indifference, which is as alert and indifference as his father who is guarding against his enemies, was trained.

"Don't worry, there are so many brothers, each of them has a strange intention. They know what they have done behind their backs." Xuanyuan Po picked up the teacup and took a sip. "If you want to have a ghost in your heart or a trick behind your back, my brothers have much more guns than me, and I can't find anything about me if I check it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless. Some people lived to make their families happy, while others lived to eliminate their families.

"Then let's settle it." Bai Yutang felt that there was nothing to say anymore, so he prepared to leave.

"Oh..." Xuanyuan Po seemed to feel disappointed, "You are so cold and boring." As he said, he asked Zhan Zhao, "Will you be bored with him?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Xuanyuan Po and smiled faintly, "Is that so? It's very interesting."

Xuanyuan Po nodded with a smile, "Sure enough, Xi Shi appeared in the lover's eyes... Oh, no, it's Pan An."

"The prince is wrong again." Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, reached out and patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Pan An is definitely not as good-looking as him."

Bai Yutang looks at the sky.

Xuanyuan Po looked at Bai Yutang's calm reaction, and was a little surprised. He actually said Zhan Zhao but he wouldn't be angry... If the second person said this, Bai Yutang might have killed that person. Zhan Zhao really has a different position in his mind.

...

After leaving the teahouse, in order to avoid being discovered and disrupted the plan, the two of them squinted in the inn to rest all day.

Zhan Zhao lay down to sleep, while Bai Yutang sat at the table, studying the piano score and other things that the Silver Demon King gave him. Many things were not known for their use.

Bai Yutang looked carefully and said that the piano score should be available tomorrow, so what else is special...

Thinking of it, he subconsciously touched the red coral ring on his left thumb... but just touched it twice, suddenly...

"S..." Bai Yutang shook his hand in pain.

Zhan Zhao heard the movement and immediately opened his eyes and looked over.

I saw Bai Yutang taking off the ring and looking at his fingers.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao stood up.

I saw a red mark appearing on Bai Yutang’s thumb, which is where the ring was brought.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked at his fingers curiously, "How did you get it?"

Bai Yutang turned the ring over and adjusted it for a while, and then saw that there was a mechanism inside the ring holder, which was like a thin needle with a tattoo. The red coral looked coral on the surface, but in fact it contained cinnabar pigment and other things. At this moment, a red mark about the size of a soybean appeared on Bai Yutang's left thumb.

Zhan Zhao wiped him with a wet veil for a long time, frowned, "I can't wipe it off."

Bai Yutang shook his hand, "Don't pay attention to it, go back and let Gongsun see it. If you can get rid of it, you can get rid of it. You can't get rid of it. I will burn it away in a few days."

"No!" Zhan Zhao waved his hand quickly, "It will leave scars!"

Bai Yutang was so amused and crying, "On hand..."

"You can't do it either! You're disfigured!" Zhan Zhao was serious.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Is it a broken figure?"

"What a palm break!" Zhan Zhao answered seriously.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly - the cat was obviously awake, so he started to talk nonsense.

"By the way." Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "You can't use Juque in martial arts competition, what should I do?"

"Can you just find a sword to use?" Zhan Zhao said that this problem is not a big deal.

"If you pretend not to know me, then my junior brother's identity cannot be used. What is your identity?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Well, I've thought about the fake name, but the background needs to be considered." Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "My pseudonym is Yin Shier!"

Bai Yutang couldn't react a little, and after a long time, he asked in confusion, "I understand that the surname Yin is Sui Yin Hou, but why is it called Twelve?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Is the twelfth zodiac sign?"

Bai Yutang held back his laughter, "You are not Yin Shisan, the cat is the thirteenth place."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with his eyes slanted, "Thirteen is so ugly!"

"Twelve is not good at hearing any more." Although Bai Yutang didn't agree with it, a smile flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

Zhan Zhao looked at the two shallow smile patterns on Bai Yutang's face and was in a better mood. Every time Bai Yutang smiled, especially when she was really happy, there would be two shallow smiles on the corner of her mouth. She was in a good mood when she saw it, a beautiful mouse!

Bai Yutang reached out and touched Zhan Zhao's head in a daze.

Zhan Zhao looked at him.

Bai Yutang whispered, "Be careful when competing."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid I will lose?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "I'm not afraid of you losing, but I'm afraid that you are too powerful. It will be troublesome if Xuanyuan Jie directly selects it as a general."

"That's not better!" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Just directly into the army to find out the news!"

While speaking, a "buzzing" sound came.
