Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 517

Chen Shuncai has always believed that Qu Qiao has a soul. Although her temperament is simple, she cannot pretend to be caring.

Tai Bu looked at Chen Shuncai with a smile: "The most difficult thing to get in a person's life is a confidant. Qu Qiao was originally a wandering soul, but because of his stupid temperament, he died for many years, but he still couldn't find the way to hell.
I accidentally found this dead soul in the barren mountains, and I used the soul-detaining magic circle to arrest her back to the Onmyoji Division and seal her in a puppet.
When the palace selects a palace maid, I will send her to the palace. Because of her ordinary appearance, she can only be a handyman in the palace.
It's good to be a handyman, just to help me inquire about the news, if you get the emperor's favor, it will cause people to suspect,
She has my charms on her body, and she usually does things according to my orders, but I can't take care of the details of her speech and behavior, all of which are caused by her temperament.

I was worried that her stupid temperament would show its flaws, but I never expected that her temperament would please you and form an anti-food relationship with you, let alone that you would be sincerely attracted to her.

I originally thought you were a pure slave, but I didn't expect that you still have the temperament of a real man in your bones. If you hadn't turned against me, Liang Xianhong, that stupid king, might not have died. "

Chen Shuncai smiled coldly: "Don't talk about those old things, a few words of truth mixed in with lies, this method is the most deceptive, do you think I really believe you?"

Tai Bu frowned and said, "Tell me, what did I say that lied to you?"

Chen Shuncai said: "There are many yin and yang secrets in the imperial palace. I have seen the spells of the soul puppet before. I believe that Qu Qiao is the soul puppet made by you. But on the day Qu Qiao was murdered, the puppet was killed by history Xun that bastard is ruined,
According to the records in the classics, once the puppet is destroyed, the soul will be dispersed. Don't say that it was a coincidence, and let you find Qu Qiao's soul again! "

Tai Bu sighed: "The chance is not so coincidental, the old man does not rely on chance, since the day I sent Qu Qiao to the palace, I have prepared for the worst,

In case Qu Qiao was killed and his soul was taken away by others, wouldn't all the things about me be leaked?

I put the soul-gathering pill on her body, her soul can't be scattered, it has been kept in the puppet,

After Qu Qiao was murdered, you built a grave for her, and dug up the grave to see if there was any corpse inside? "

Chen Shuncai looked at Tai Bu, still suspicious.

He had never heard of Soul Gathering Pill.

Tai Bu sighed and said: "Since you don't believe me, then let's leave it at that. In fact, you don't have to do this. I only want to fulfill you and Qu Qiao because of our friendship."

Tai Bu got up to leave, Qu Qiao looked at Chen Shuncai with blurred eyes.

Chen Shuncai stopped Tai Bu and said, "Wait a minute! Tell me what you want me to do first?"

Tai Bu lowered his voice and said: "I heard that in the imperial palace, there is a copy of "Xing Shou Juan", do you know?"

Chen Shuncai remained silent.

Tai Bu asked again: "It is rumored that the "Xing Shou Juan" records the secret technique of controlling the star palace, do you know?"

Chen Shuncai remained silent.

Tai Bu said: "If you can give me the "Star Shou Scroll", I will give you Qu Qiao!"

Chen Shuncai was silent for a while, then laughed and said: "Tai Bu, your cultivation has grown, are you going to be a star king?"

Tai Bu said with a serious face: "You don't need to ask more about this matter."

Chen Shuncai put the bench on the cart: "You asked the wrong person about this, I don't know what "Star Shoujuan" is!"

Tai Bu let out a long sigh: "Poor Qu Qiao has true feelings for you, even though I have erased his memory, seeing you, he is still reluctant to part."

Chen Shuncai glanced at Qu Qiao again, Qu Qiao had been staring at Chen Shuncai, seeing Chen Shuncai looking back, she quickly lowered her head.

Tai Bu walked to Qu Qiao's side, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Qu Qiao glanced at Chen Shuncai again, although she was reluctant, she dared not disobey Tai Bu's order, turned around, and followed Tai Bu slowly away.

Seeing that the two were about to turn the corner, Chen Shuncai's figure suddenly appeared in front of Tai Bu.

Tai Bu frowned and said: "Chen Bingbi, why did you do this? Why do you still want to rob people?"

Chen Shuncai really wanted to snatch it, but he knew Taibu's method, if he robbed him by force, Taibu would make Qu Qiao's soul fly away.

"If I got the "Star Shou Scroll", how should I give it to you?"

Tai Bu said: "Just set up a stall here, after three days, I will come to you again."

……

Late the next night.

Imperial Palace, Longtu Pavilion.

Emperor Chang Le was still reviewing the memorials, and some of the memorials caught his attention.

These memorials all said the same thing, promoting Xu Zhiqiong as the commander of the Imperial City Division.

The ministers who played above all used the same reason, Xu Zhiqiong made outstanding contributions in Yu Xianguo, helped the army defeat the Gu clan, and also stabilized the alliance of Xuanyu, so he should be promoted.

There are good reasons, but the phenomenon is puzzling.

"Seventy to eighty percent of the ministers in the court hate Zhiqiong, why are they all speaking well of him today?"

Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is another secret here. Marquis Yun is deeply trusted in Yu Xianguo, and the new king, Mochi, wants to make him a Duke and promote him as a grand guest.
According to my Daxuan official system, the Grand Ceremony guest is equivalent to a first-rank official, and the ministers presenting the performance should be to remind His Majesty that if Xu Zhiqiong does not show favor to him, I am afraid that he will have a second heart towards Daxuan. "

Emperor Chang Le threw down the memorial, and said angrily: "Let's say these birds can't speak a single word, this is obviously an opportunity to ridicule Zhiqiong!"

Liang Yuyao said from the side: "In the final analysis, this is also a good thing. Zhiqiong has made a lot of contributions, but he is only a five-rank thousand household. This official is really small."

Emperor Chang Le shook his head and said: "You don't know their scheming, if I really appoint Zhiqiong as the commander of the Imperial City Commander, these officials will talk about the rule of no important positions when they are ennobled. On the contrary, it chilled Zhiqiong's heart."

He Fang said: "Not only will Yun Hou feel cold, but Commander Zhong may also feel dissatisfied."

Liang Yuyao said: "What's his dissatisfaction? Didn't the penance workshop be given to him?"

He Fang said: "The owner of the penance workshop is a fourth-rank official, and Zhong Shen is a third-rank official."

Liang Yuyao said: "Did he suffer from not being demoted?"

He Fang said: "He has the third rank of the Mohist school. If he wanted to be the master of the penance workshop, he would have been the master. Since he came to the Imperial City Division, it proves that his mind is not in the workshop."

Liang Yuyao said: "It doesn't matter where his mind is! This official can think of anything, let him do it?"

Yan Anqing said: "I received news a few days ago that Zhong Shen sent a gift to Xu Zhiqiong, and it was shipped to Yu Xianguo along with the weapons."

Emperor Chang Le was startled: "What gift?"

Yan Anqing shook his head and said, "The gift is packed in a wooden box, and the details are unknown."

Liang Yuyao shrugged her eyebrows and said, "It seems that the friendship between these two is quite deep."

Emperor Chang Le shook his head: "It's hard to say, maybe Zhong Shen was beating Zhi Qiong, let's put this matter aside for now, don't bring it up again in the future."

After discussing for another half an hour, everyone was tired and went back to rest.

The servant blew out the lamps and candles, and Longtu Pavilion was dark and silent.

Suddenly, more figures appeared in the empty hall.

The figure was very agile, and he quietly climbed up to the roof along the wall, and opened a hidden compartment above the roof.

There is a wooden box in the dark compartment, which is the same as the wooden box Xu Zhiqiong found in the secret pavilion back then. The whole wooden box is integrated, and it is impossible to see where the lid is.

The person was taken away together with the wooden box, sealed the secret compartment, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

Yu Xianguo, Marquis Mansion, the maid Eyan got up at night and went to the hut with a lantern.

After traveling through the corridors for a long time, Eyan was dumbfounded.

She couldn't find the hut.

She is very familiar with the ups and downs of this mansion, the hut is separated by a long corridor, how could she not find it?
Could it be that this is lost?
How could you get lost in the mansion?This is clearly an evil move!
Passing through a long corridor, at the corner, is another long corridor.

The corridor was pitch-black, only the wind-swallowing bamboo was blowing gusts of cold wind.

Every time she took a step, echoes echoed in the long corridor, and Eyan didn't know where she was in the mansion, she was afraid and anxious at the same time.

The more afraid the more anxious, the more unable to hold back.

There is a clay pot in the corridor, which should contain Ye Mingping.

E Yan opened the clay pot, Ye Mingping glowed, and the whole corridor was illuminated.

There are a lot of Yemingping like this in the mansion, so it doesn't matter if one can is missing, as long as it is disposed of properly tomorrow.

Eyan couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to settle it in this jar.

She arranged the jar and was about to urinate when she heard a strange sound.

click!click!
It seems to be someone's footsteps.

If someone bumped into him, he would be ashamed to death, and he would inevitably be beaten.

Eyan quickly lifted her skirt, quietly listening to the voice.

The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near, and echoed endlessly.

click!click!
It's not like human footsteps.

People's footsteps are not so crisp!

click!click!
I heard it clearly this time.

This is the sound of hooves!
How can there be the sound of horseshoes in the Marquis's mansion?

Have the animals in the stables escaped!

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and E Yan saw some shadows at the end of the corridor.

She swallowed her saliva and shivered holding the lantern.

The sound of the horse's hooves suddenly slowed down, and it seemed to have discovered Eyan.

Step by step, the figure of the horse gradually appeared at the end of the corridor.

With the light of Yemingping, only the dark outline can be seen.

What a tall horse!The top of the head is only three or five feet away from the ceiling.

There are no such tall horses in the Marquis Mansion...

This is not a horse!

This is……

Snoring!
There was a snort, and the hooves of the horse suddenly rushed, and the tall and strong horse rushed towards E Yan.

This time there is no need to relieve.

Straight away.

E Yan turned around and ran, dragging a line of water, screaming all the way:
"Help! Someone! That bronze horse is alive!"

The bronze horse is alive!

The bronze horse that Zhong Shen gave to Xu Zhiqiong came alive!

After running a few steps, the copper horse has already caught up behind him!
Snoring!
There was another snort, and a crossbow arrow shot out from the horse's mouth, piercing E Yan's leg.

Eyan's left knee gave way and she fell to the ground.

The bronze horse chased after her, and it was about to trample E Yan into a pulp.

Xu Zhiqiong suddenly rushed into the corridor, picked up E Yan, and ran away.

After running to the end of the corridor, Xu Zhiqiong turned left and stood against the wall in another corridor, waiting for the bronze horse to rush out.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Xu Zhiqiong's ears trembled, he picked up E Yan, and jumped aside.

At the original standing position, the wall suddenly bulged and then shattered, and the huge bronze horse crashed out of the wall.
