Star Curtain Millennium

Chapter 3 - The Woman in White
Xiangzhou, Hebei Province

Xiangzhou Xiaotun, Fengqiyuan Inn.In an elegantly furnished room, a woman in white was standing by the window, holding a few pieces of oracle bone with yellow mud in her hand, lost in thought.If you look down from the air, you can clearly find several dark corners of the inn, and there are two or three layers of vague defensive circles around the inn.A few sturdy and low-end carriages were parked on the side of the official road further away, and a not-so-old magistrate was pacing a little heavily, looking up at the attic in the distance from time to time.

"Master Zhang, please go back. My lady said she will stay here for a few days, and she doesn't dare to bother the local adults." A knight dressed in white said with a little pride and politeness, "You also saw that my white My lord has also dispatched the most elite cavalry team in the mansion, so there will be no problem with security."

"That's, that's." Zhang Chi wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and bowed, "As a student of the fifth batch of Bai Daxiang, I should do my best as a landlord and don't get in the way. wait."

The woman in white came back to her senses gently, and walked slowly to a flower table.The table is filled with more oracle bone fragments, vaguely showing various animal images, including turtles, pigs, dogs, horses, cows, sheep, etc., and even the image of a dragon with a crown.The floor in the inner room was covered with more than a thousand pieces of oracle bones. Several women in scarlet clothes squatted for a long time to tidy up. One of them stood up, calmed down and walked in with two or three pieces of oracle bones in his hand, "Miss, After a long morning of picking, I found a few pieces with animals." Yan Bi took out the handkerchief and wiped his sweat lightly, completely unaware that the dirty mud on his hands had inadvertently stuck to the temples of the double bun .The woman in white put the oracle bone gently on the table without a smile, picked up a bronze mirror with double phoenix pattern and handed it over, and then heard a small shy exclamation and the sound of the floor .The slight vibration seems to have caused the oracle bone on the table to move slightly. The oracle bone in the center of the table is exactly the one held by the woman in white just now. Under the morning light through the window, it is bathed in golden yellow. And the ferocious animals are standing proudly, as if the spout of fire filled the earth.When the woman in scarlet who had cleaned her face was about to put the bronze mirror back, she stared at this scene and couldn't help shivering slightly.

Datang, Yushitai
Cen Yushi was sitting in the sub-seat of the meeting hall, and the person sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall was the prime minister, Mr. Bai.Cen Yushi took a sip from the teacup he held in his hand, and pondered for a while. "Good tea is really worthy of being a tribute from the top of the world."The first seat below is Tang Shuo, the head of the Tanzhou branch, "For so many years, it is thanks to the blessing of Lord Bai. If it weren't for the rush of this time, the Lord gave you the best black tea, and the Lord was generous with Lord Cen and shared with the officials. , although the villain is in Tanzhou, this is the first time I have seen it, and it is the first time I have tasted this royal leaf!"

"The fragrance is strong and the taste is fresh and mellow, so a certain person can't taste it." Everyone knew who Ge Sheng of Anton Governor's Mansion was referring to.

"Haha, the old man sent Li Regret to be a personal meat station, which can save dozens of taels of silver. We should consciously save money in the station, and save as much as we can. Besides, I still feel very relieved about this kid's work." Cen Yu Shi smiled at Bai Xiang.Of course, if Mr. Cen wanted to know about the incident in the northwest, he would probably be so angry that his tongue would tie up.

When everyone was about to continue teasing Li Regret, they found that Master Bai had put down his teacup and stroked his beard, so they knew they were getting to the point.

"The Li and Tang Dynasties have attached great importance to intelligence collection since the beginning of their founding. Thanks to the construction of several dynasties, our perception has penetrated into Persia and Western Turks externally, and has reached the high-level executives, traffickers, powerful families and Jianghu internally. Our sky eye It exists in the entire Tianchao Continent. Our intelligence analysis is distributed to His Majesty the Emperor every week and every week, and even officials at all levels who need to know. I would like to thank all the colleagues at Yushitai present for their continuous and outstanding hard work." The Prime Minister Bai slowly Scanning everyone present here.Everyone also sat up a little bit, nodded slightly in return, but they all focused their thoughts on the next sentence that Prime Minister Bai would say. That was the key point, and it was also the core of this unusually called regular meeting.

"However, in the past six months, apart from Yushitai, according to the monitoring reports from more sources, it seems that there is an undercurrent surging. Although it is currently impossible to find out who is behind the scenes or what organization is behind the scenes, whether it is inside or outside the domain, the rivers and lakes are still temples. Regarding this , "Bai Xiang paused, "According to Yushitai's suggestion, the royal family raised the defense level to the red level, and distributed four guards, eight side guards, and 38 internal guards. Although there are two levels of purple and black on it. But everyone I also know that this is the first time since the two dynasties that the level has been raised to this level. Next, I would like to hear some of the latest trends that you have learned recently."

Lord Yushi then gestured towards Han Yu, the deputy envoy of Neibao of Hebei Province who was facing in the distance.Han Yu hesitated for a moment, then handed over his hand and reported, "In the middle of last month, a group of high-ranking disciples of the Northwest Wang Kunlun Sect, led by Yu Xiurong, the master of Longchi Peak, came to a place called Xiaotun Village on the south bank of Huanshui in the jurisdiction. It took a few days for our team to arrive. After negotiating with them on the spot, I learned that they had collected a new type of oracle bone tablet with engraved runes discovered by the villagers in the local area. Of course, it may have been available for many years.” Han Yu said at the same time from Yixiu took out a few samples and distributed them to those present, "Their explanation is that their gang leader Ye Hongyu has been creating a set of swordsmanship and swordsmanship in recent years. He is keen to collect ancient relics with text attributes for inspiration. According to the Great Tang Order, The antiquities dating back to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty belonged to the court. However, this object is obviously much older than this list. In addition, according to the remote area autonomy management regulations, there is no basis for it. The things they dug are intercepted and monitored out of this area."

The people present exchanged the oracle bone pieces in their hands, because they were all martial artists, they could naturally feel the aura of carving on the oracle bones, avoiding bends and straightening, and they really had the pleasure of cutting obliquely and straightly.Some people have raised their wrists slightly, imitating the killing intent of a few strokes of swords in the slight void, which is really wonderful, but the content of the words seems to be even more unreadable than Qin Zhuan.

"What happened later, Mr. Bai, you also know..."

Prime Minister Bai gently shook his head and smiled, "My old lady, Bai Su, has been reading all the books in the Tianshu Pavilion managed by my wife since she was a child. It can be said that the speed of khenpo publishing in the world is far slower than her reading speed. Therefore, she Hearing about this by accident in Shuge, and after hearing that there were fresh samples, he hurried to Hebei Road. If I hadn’t met me head-on on the outer road of Chang’an City when I came back from a visit, I’m afraid that apart from the maid, I might have forgotten to bring even a government soldier... "

Everyone naturally knows that Master Bai's sweetheart is Miss Bai Su, who is known as a bookworm in the world.But only a very small number of people, even most of the people here don't know.She is also the actual behind-the-scenes of the Yushitai "Origin" team, responsible for identifying and tracking the first signs of events that may affect the empire.But one thing everyone knows is that in a publicly publicized but small-scale court competition, Miss Bai Su actually lost to Li Regret in terms of reading and memorization, and the joke "you get married when you lose" turned out to be Proverbs.

Maybe everyone thought of this at the same time, and couldn't help but smile at each other.Only Prime Minister Bai smiled wryly in his heart, he always suspected that Bai Su lost to that kid on purpose.And Li Heng's "not suitable for marriage" almost made Master Bai want to shoot him alive.If it weren't for Mrs. Xiangye who also liked and defended that kid.He can't wait to send Li Yufa to Bohai to dry fish.

"Those are all very good, but I just don't want them." Only a certain singer in Xinghuafang, eight blocks away from here, knew this sentence. That night Li Regret heard all the guqins she knew. So bad that she snapped off two of her fingernails, and her fingers hurt so much that she couldn't pick up customers for a decade, which became the most peculiar and funny reason for refusing customers in the workshop so far.

"The little girl has already passed the letter to the reply. She probably guessed the purpose of the Kunlun people, but it is not convenient to say it in the document." Hearing Bai Xiang's words, Mr. Yushi suddenly felt a trace of worry. a hint of crisis.

"The so-called Xiaowen Chuanggong, I also think it is just a superficial excuse, but I can't find a deeper purpose for a while. I am asking the Taixue Pavilion to study the batch of engraved talisman bones collected earlier. There is some progress, but it has not yet been finalized. The result. But according to the preliminary judgment, it should be the national archives of the ancient times, and the records are some sacrificial process, which seems to be nothing secret..." Han Yu was a little nervous, and then explained.

"Sacrifice..." Lord Bai Xiang fell into long-term contemplation, and finally said, "We will discuss this matter when the little girl comes back, and then you all talk about your respective information." Lord Yushi was still searching for the next speaker, and suddenly Suddenly, his complexion changed.

Everyone saw a white-clothed rider galloping directly into the square in front of Yushitai.Apart from the standard royal family, the only ones who have this privilege are special messengers.The visitor galloped directly to the entrance of the meeting hall, got off his horse, and flew in one by one. Just as he was about to kneel down, he was directly supported by a pair of big hands. It was astonishingly that Lord Yushi left his seat and stepped forward, "Speak quickly!"

The visitor looked terrified, looked at Mr. Bai Xiang in the middle, his Adam's apple trembled, and said something that shocked everyone, "Miss Bai Su was attacked on the Hebei Road, and all her entourage and guards died. Miss, Miss, she is missing!"
