Chapter 651 [Where the Treasure is](1/2)
Zhan Zhao and others entered the palace and said that they would lead the snake out of the cave. Zhao Zhen thought about it and looked at everyone with his arms in his arms, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen, thinking about it would cause trouble for him, but if someone really found Wan Zhu Palace, then his country would be undermining.
Zhao Zhen stood up, walked around for two rounds, and said, "Well... I can cooperate, but... there is a condition!"
Everyone wonders—the conditions?
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand, rubbed his chest, and said, "My palace gives you freedom to enter and exit, and I always feel uncomfortable here."
Looking at Zhao Zhen's heart-stuck appearance, everyone couldn't help but think, just let Gongsun show you...
"So I need to make compensation!" Zhao Zhen said seriously.
"What compensation..." Everyone was curious.
Zhao Zhen held his hands behind his back and said, "During the cat appreciation conference, in addition to comparing the cat's appearance, there is also a cat training competition to see whose cat is obedient!"
Everyone's mouths were twitching, thinking that they had heard of dogs and birds, but they had never heard of cats. Can they be good at being good at it?
Zhao Zhen stretched out his fingers and pointed to the five cats lying on a soft couch not far away, licking their hair.
Everyone followed the direction of his fingers and saw that the five cats were all very plump, one was pure black and two green eyes; one was long white hair, two mandarin duck eyes, one was blue and one green; one was gray fat cat, round and two golden eyes; one was tiger striped, with huge body like a little tiger, and one was three-flowered, round and lying on its ears. Everyone looked at these five cats with excellent looks and looked back at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Pu asked, "Is these ones sent to participate in the competition?"
"Yes." Zhao Zhen nodded.
Bai Yutang looked at it and said, "It looks pretty good, I probably won't lose."
"You won't lose by looking at your appearance, but your obedience is..." Zhao Zhen squatted down and said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
The five cats licked their own hair, three ignored Zhao Zhen, and two of them licked the eyelids, with some contempt in their eyes, looking at Zhao Zhen.
Everyone gasped - so arrogant!
Zhao Zhen looked depressed and curled his lips with his hands behind his back, wanting to cure them for deceiving the king! He didn't take me seriously!
Zhan Zhao was helpless, "Your Majesty, cats are like this. If you ask it, it will ignore you. If you don't ask it, it will come over."
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao, "Is that true? Why not try guard Zhan?"
Zhan Zhao blinked and saw that everyone was looking at him, and inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Gongsun was also very curious and asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you want to try it?"
Zhan Zhao had no choice but to stretch out a finger and pointed at the fat cats, "Tsk tsk..."
Zhan Zhao just hooked his fingers, and the five cats got up, ran to him, rubbing his legs around "Meow Meow".
Zhan Zhao held his forehead.
Bai Yutang reached out and grabbed the gray fat cat and looked at it. He felt serious and cute. His four fat feet were thick and short, and his fleshy claws were still pink. The fifth master pinched one of its front paws and pressed them. He found that it was soft and elastic, and he was inexplicably in a good mood.
The little Sizi also went to pick up the fat three flower and looked at the big Peng Song tail that was shaking around.
"So so obedient?" Lin Yehuo was curious and asked Zhan Zhao, "Let them sit down and try."
"Can you do it..." Zhao Pu also felt incredible, "It's not a dog."
Lin Yehuo pointed to the mute beside him and said, "Sit down."
The mute sat down and wagged his tail at Lin Yehuo.
"Of course, dogs are very obedient." Zhao Zhen hooked his fingers at the mute, and the mute looked at Lin Yehuo.
Lin Yehuo nodded to it, and the mute walked to Zhao Zhen and sat down.
Zhao Zhen stared at the mute and "Stand up."
The mute stood up.
"Let's go down." Zhao Zhen continued.
The mute lay down and looked at Zhao Zhen in confusion. What do you mean - what are you?
Zhao Zhen squatted down and stretched out his hand.
The mute stretched out one of his front paws and placed it in his hand.
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and stared at the mute for a long time, and suddenly held the mute's face with both hands, "I just have to obey this way! This is the correct attitude towards me!"
Nangong and others were speechless. Zhao Zhen had been despised by those cats for a day today, and probably was depressed. This morning, he said that the cat deserved that the cat had not entered the twelve zodiac signs, etc., not to mention that the emperor was quite small-minded.
Zhao Zhen let go of the mute, turned around and saw the black cat that was swinging Zhan Zhao's legs while swaying Zhan Zhao with his tail. He reached out and pointed at it, "Sit down!"
The black cat glanced at Zhao Zhen, and his eyes seemed to be saying - Who is this stupidity?
The mute leaned over and smelled the black cat. The black cat suddenly slapped it with one claw. The mute quickly took two steps and sat down to wag its tail at it.
Zhan Zhao pointed to the side... He saw that the cats had all sat down, quite well-behaved. Zhan Zhao understood the meaning without even speaking. It was not that they didn't understand it, but they just saw whether they wanted to pay attention to you.
Zhao Zhen grinds his teeth straight - the crime of deceiving the king!
Everyone also found it fresh when they looked at it.
The little Sizi tried it, but the cats didn't give him any face, just listened to Zhan Zhao.
Zhao Zhen patted Zhan Zhao, "That day of the game! Guard Zhan will also play!"
Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Zhen speechlessly, and Eunuch Chen reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's Zhan Guard who leads the cat to fight, but it's not Zhan Guard who also goes to fight."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand - don’t care about the details!
"Then the emperor." Nangong Ji asked, "the case matter..."
"What case?" Zhao Zhen blinked.
"Uh, use the warehouse to catch people and pretend to offer Kowloon Roulette..."
Before Nangong could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Well, you guys go and do it." After that, Liu Dada left.
Everyone behind him couldn't help but admire him. This emperor only thought about the Cat Sai Conference...
After Zhao Zhen passed the deadline, everyone started to arrange it, and there was not much time left for the birthday party.
...
Officials at all levels of the imperial city began to be busy with birthday banquets, and Kaifeng City became lively, and all major restaurants and inns were basically full.
On the one hand, Zhan Zhao and the others were waiting for the birthday party to begin, but on the other hand, they were very concerned about the letter given by the Silver Demon King.
There is also a way to go to the Wan Gui Palace, and only Xiao Sizi knows this method, and he feels dangerous if he thinks it.
Since Xiao Sizi was almost stolen, Gongsun has hugged his son all day and has not let go of it. Xiao Liangzi didn't even hold Xiao Sizi's hand. He originally wanted to go back to Kaifeng to watch opera and listen to music and have dinner together. This time, Gongsun has been hugging his son all day long like an egg hatching.
Zhao Pu would stare at the big and small size when he had time. If he had something to do, he would let Ouyang, Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang take turns, plus more than a dozen shadow guards, surrounding Xiao Sizi.
In fact, the most unhappy one is Xiao Sizi. She played very well and was free, but now she has no need to play anymore and is watched by others all day long.
Zhan Zhao carefully interrogated the people from the Waste Fish Clan.
They were not with the men in black who attacked them earlier for a while, and those men in black came from the Western Regions, but they were not related to Huangshi Yupu.
After walking around the yard for a few times, Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang and went out.
After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, we met four old gods who came out of Taibaiju. Yao Changtian came to deliver the letter and was not in a hurry to leave. Master Wusha had just arrived, so the four old men came to have dinner together.
After meeting him, Mr. Yin asked Zhan Zhao where he was going.
Zhan Zhao said that he wanted to go to Huangshi Yushu to meet Cui Miao.
Yin Hou nodded.
The Heavenly Lord also said, "When I was having dinner just now, the old ghost also said that he wanted to meet Cui Miao."
Zhan Zhao asked Mr. Yin, "Grandpa, have you thought of something?"
Yin Hou said, "Think about it now, if Cui Hai hid the secret back then, then the disaster that his family caused to destroy the family might have something to do with this secret."
Tianzun also nodded, "Although Cui Miao kept saying that the people in the martial arts world who killed her whole family were punished by God, the martial arts world might just be provoked or instructed."
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "The person who knows this secret must be Li Bing's confidant or Cui Hai's friend."
"At that time, there were many powerful ministers and vassal kings, and those with high rank and powerful betray Li Bing to protect themselves, and many became what they are saying now, meritorious ministers," Yao Chang Tiandao, "Most of their descendants inherited their titles, that is..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded - those who are now living in the inn and are related to the deaths of several palace maids, and are one of the many suspects.
"Well." Master Wusha also agreed, "That person may be the murderer behind the scenes we are looking for, and at the same time, he is also the biggest enemy of the Cui family."
"Cui Miao can let go of those people in the martial arts world who were instigated to kill her family, and can also forgive those fish and their relatives who missed the net with the reason of when the revenge will come, but no matter what." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "She should definitely not be able to spare the person behind the scenes!"
"There is a little strange." Bai Yutang said, "If there is a secret hidden in the fishtail jade artifact, why did the Cui family sell the Hongyu fishtail ring?"
Both Tianzun and Yin Hou nodded. It was indeed strange that the key to all this was to ask the Cui family.
...
Everyone walked to the gate of Huangshi Yushu.
The jade shop still had the door open as usual, and there was still no business. Ayi was rubbing a jade carved Bodhisattva behind the counter.
Zhan Zhao and others entered the door.
Ayi raised his head, blinked, and asked, "Do you buy jade or investigate the case or... what's the matter left behind?"
Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed and said, "We want to see Mrs. Cui."
To be continued...
