Judge of the Lamp

Three days later, in Black Deer City, in the barracks.

Hong Zhenji pushed back the others, and looked at Xu Zhiqiong opposite him with his body covered in bandages.

"Yunhou, you wiped out the ten thousand enemy troops in Jingguo County?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "It's not my strength alone, it all depends on the unity of the soldiers."

Hong Zhenji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, the battle is over."

Xu Zhiqiong still shook his head: "The next step is to go north, not only to recover the lost land, but also to force Tunu to pay money and pay tribute."

"Paying tribute..." Hong Zhenji is very familiar with these two words, because Qian Cheng pays tribute to Tu Nu every year.

He doubted it was true.

"Qiancheng, really defeated Tunu?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded.

Hong Zhenji was still a little worried: "Although Tunu was defeated in this battle, I don't know how many troops will be dispatched in the future."

"Tu Nu will not send troops here," Xu Zhiqiong has already received the news from Emperor Changle, "Daxuan sent troops to the northern border and captured the two cities of Tu Nu. Tu Nu can't look after each other. After a short fight, I have to find you Negotiate."

This is the sincerity of Daxuan's willingness to form an alliance with Qiancheng, and Hong Zhenji won the respect of Emperor Changle.

"Daxuan wishes to form an alliance with me, but Tunu wants to come to me to negotiate a peace!" Hong Zhenji showed joy, "But I can't spare King Tunu lightly. How much silver do you think it is appropriate for him to pay?"

Xu Zhiqiong raised his eyebrows and said, "It all depends on how much silver he looted from Qiancheng Kingdom."

Hong Zhenji nodded and said: "That's right, my Qiancheng Kingdom is not a philanthropic hall, and I have to pay back the debts in the past one by one!"

After saying this, both of them laughed.

Qiancheng Kingdom is not a good hall.

Just because of this sentence, Hong Zhenji was beaten up by Tu Nu's envoy.

Now, he had just held Tunu down and beat him up. Thinking of this, he felt relieved, and even the wound on his body didn't hurt so much.

After being ridiculous, Hong Zhenji's expression was a little dignified again.

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "What's on your mind?"

Hong Zhenji sighed: "After tonight, it's time to discuss the matter of going out."

"What? Don't want to fight anymore?"

"To be honest, I really don't want to," Hong Zhenji moved his arm, grinned, and there was a burst of pain from the wound, "I was still thinking about it on the battlefield, if I could return to Shu Palace, drink and dance with you, the world Nothing could be more joyful than this,

You are right, the dancer is wearing tulle, but she dances better than the original dancer. "

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Aren't there too many beauties in the palace?"

"It's quite a lot. Qin Yan's arrangements are very thorough," Hong Zhenji sighed, "I asked the medical officer to visit him. Qin Yan broke several bones, and Li Quangen and Yue Liusheng were also seriously injured.

I used to hate this group of eunuchs, wishing I could kill them all, but when it was a matter of life and death, they really did their best for me,
Qin Yan handled a lot of political affairs without telling me. I was very annoyed at first, but now that I think about it, it would be good if he handled it. There is a road in the east of the city and a gate in the north of the city. Thinking about these messy things makes people irritated. Why should I embarrass myself if a virtuous official does the work for me?
By saying these words, maybe I want you to make fun of me. In your eyes, I am just a mediocre and foolish king. "

Xu Zhiqiong didn't smile, he straightened his expression and said: "You are not a foolish monarch, you are the wisest monarch since Qiancheng established the country."

Hong Zhenji sat up straight with difficulty and said, "Is this what you have in mind?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "Every sentence is heartfelt."

Hong Zhenji sat silently for a long time, his scarred cheeks trembling from time to time.

He cared about what Xu Zhiqiong said.

Since the founding of Qiancheng, the wisest monarch.

He believed that these words came from Xu Zhiqiong's sincerity.

Of course, he didn't know that Qiancheng Kingdom had only two monarchs since its founding.

"After this battle, are you going back to Xuan Kingdom?" Hong Zhenji asked in a low voice.

Xu Zhiqiong did not deny it: "I will come and visit from time to time in the future."

It was still half a sentence, Xu Zhiqiong didn't say it.

If you learn to embarrass the common people, when we meet again, it will be a different situation.

Hong Zhenji sighed several times, then suddenly raised his head and said, "If I make you a king with a different surname, will I be able to keep you?"

Xu Zhiqiong pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't tempt me again, maybe I want to be a god one day."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed again.

After laughing, Hong Zhenji suddenly stared at Xu Zhiqiong's cheek, and said in astonishment, "Your Majesty Yun, is there dirt on your face?"

"Mud?"

Xu Zhiqiong just washed his face.

Hong Zhenji called the servant and asked him to bring a mirror. Xu Zhiqiong stared at the mirror for a while, and it turned out to be a flower, a peach blossom.

These days, I seem to have forgotten to think about it.

……

Xu Zhiqiong came to the Xingxiu Corridor, and saw Bai Yueshan sweeping the floor in the corridor.

"Doctor Bai, didn't I tell you before, to save up more silver and run the Shangshan Department of Qiancheng Kingdom, why do you always stay in Xingxiu Gallery?"

Bai Yueshan was very helpless: "I went to ask Gongshu Yan, and she said that rebuilding a charity department requires 50 silver, but how long will it take to accumulate?"

It's hard for Xu Zhiqiong to understand Bai Yueshan's thoughts: "It's better to make some money than to sweep the floor here every day."

"I don't have that ability anymore, and according to the Patriarch's intention, it's a good thing to hone my character here and atone for my sins honestly." Bai Yueshan put down the broom, washed the rag in the bucket, and continued to wipe the door panel.

Xu Zhiqiong ignored it, and thought about where to go.

Go to the Xinsi house given by Master?
There seems to be limited gains there.

Go to Shenyin Hall to try your luck?

Don't be fooled, the third-grade skills have been tampered with, and I still don't know what the skills are.

While thinking about it, Xu Zhiqiong glanced at the main hall, and suddenly saw a glimmer of light.

Master is back?
Xu Zhiqiong was pleasantly surprised, pushed the door open and walked in.

The master is not there, but the surprise is still there.

The light I saw just now came from the mirror, and the master's evil mirror has been repaired.

Xu Zhiqiong happily sat in front of the evil mirror platform, and took out the copper lotus.

He wanted to take out the King Xuan Chou version of the puppet, and then pull out the dragon beard to see what the origin of this dragon beard was.

But after thinking about it, if he was not careful when pulling out the dragon's beard and let Hong Juncheng out, things would be troublesome.

Xu Zhiqiong took back the copper lotus, and took out a cloth bag from his waist.

This cloth bag was found from Yuan Chengfeng. Yuan Chengfeng said that a certain sound could be heard in the cloth bag, which was very useful.

Xu Zhiqiong never dared to hear about it, but today he can take a look at the origin of this cloth bag.

and many more.

When Yuan Chengfeng mentioned this cloth bag, my cultivation had already reached the third rank.

When I reached the third grade, I was still a little dizzy when I heard it. If I read it rashly, would it affect my life?

Even if it doesn't affect your life, it's not good to hurt your eyes.

Xu Zhiqiong put away the cloth bag and stared at the mirror in a daze.

He remembered that he had a lot of things that he wanted to look at carefully in the mirror, but now that the mirror was repaired, he couldn't remember what to look at for a while.

After sitting for a while, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly got up and left the Xingxiu Gallery.

Almost forgot one big thing.

A big event that was almost forgotten by everyone.

The Haunting of Qiancheng Palace!
There used to be many ghosts of eunuchs in Qiancheng Palace, but they all disappeared later.

Not only is the ghost gone, but all memories of fooling around are also gone.

Qin Yan forgot all about it, Yue Liusheng forgot about it, and even Luo Songgui, who witnessed the incident, also forgot about it.

Only one person left a vague impression, Li Quangen.

Li Quangen once captured the souls of several servants and locked them in the secret room. When Xu Zhiqiong found the secret room, the bottles and jars where the dead souls were held were empty.

What happened in the Chamber of Secrets?Li Quangen only has a limited memory left.

Xu Zhiqiong also thought about using the magical eye to go back to the original scene. Shen Shuliang knew a similar method and could use the magical eye to go back in time.

But his methods are limited, and he can only go back to the scene in the Shenyan Pavilion. After the Shenyan Pavilion is destroyed, his methods are no longer effective.

Xu Zhiqiong thought he was lying at first, but after trying the mantra, he was convinced that Shen Shuliang was telling the truth.

After that, Xu Zhiqiong has been investigating this matter, and just after investigating some clues, he locked Duan Zifang and Ye Ansheng, but at this time Qian Cheng started a war with Tu Nu.

Xu Zhiqiong threw himself into the war and completely forgot about Ye Ansheng.

This reminded Xu Zhiqiong of some memories.

Ye Ansheng has a characteristic, he is easy for people to ignore his existence.

Xu Zhiqiong had discovered this feature before, but even this feature was ignored by Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong went to the Qiancheng Punishment Department, entered the imperial palace using the Chengfeng Building, went to the Zhidian Supervisor, entered Li Quangen's secret room, took a porcelain bottle from the secret room, and went to the Xingxiu Gallery.

In Li Quangen's limited memory, he has a deep impression of this porcelain vase. A ghost was once imprisoned here. During an interrogation, the ghost escaped in front of him.

Facing the evil mirror platform in the Xingxiu Gallery, Xu Zhiqiong held the porcelain bottle and imagined Li Quangen's appearance in the secret room. After exploring for a while, an image soon appeared on the mirror.

The whole process does not exceed one inhalation, which is the result of the refinement of the power of imagery.

Xu Zhiqiong saw Li Quangen talking to the mirror.

This is the perspective of the porcelain bottle. To be precise, Li Quangen is talking to the bottle.

Xu Zhiqiong could hear every word very clearly. This was a servant who lived more than 500 years ago. He once served Yuanning Shenjun. His name was Sun Haijin. He died at the handover of the old and new Shenjun. He knew a lot of things.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the screen quietly, and suddenly saw a blurry figure appearing on the mirror.

It was the soul of Sun Haijin, who got out of the bottle.

Through the distorted expression, Xu Zhiqiong could barely make out his facial features.

The ghost circled the bottle several times and flew straight into the roof.

Where did he fly to?

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to change his perspective, but he couldn't.

Master's mirror is not a magical eye, the viewing angle is only limited to the bottle.

It doesn't matter, the bottle can't be seen, but the tile can be seen.

Xu Zhiqiong checked the location where the dead soul flew out, ran to the roof of Zhidian Supervisor, picked a few tiles and came back.

From the perspective of the tiles, Xu Zhiqiong saw the dead soul flying northward and disappearing in the dense fog in a blink of an eye.

Where did he go?
What objects can be used to continue to follow his tracks?
You can't catch a cloud of mist.

The thread is broken again?
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his forehead, very sad.

After suffering for a long time, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly stood up.

The servant named Sun Haijin should be from Qiancheng.

Xu Zhiqiong left Xingxiu Gallery, and went to the Marquis' Mansion again under the pretext of punishing the evil secretary Chengfenglou.

In the secret room, Xu Zhiqiong took out the stone eye.

He lit a candle, summoned the magic eye, and sent a message.

Sun Haijin, a servant in the Zhidian Supervisor during the Yuanning period.

If his soul is still there, where is it now?
Can the magic eye track his tracks?
Xu Zhiqiong recalled Sun Haijin's distorted facial features.

A spot of light appeared in the pupil of Shenjiyan.

He tracked down Sun Haijin's location.

It is a stone tower.

This should be the magic weapon Tao Huayuan mentioned, the magic weapon that can contain the souls of the dead.

Where is this stone tower?
Xu Zhiqiong adjusted his viewing angle and found the direction of the stone tower.

The backyard of the palace!

The magic weapon to contain the souls of the dead is here!
At the beginning, Tao'er and Tao'er spent so much effort to find this stone pagoda, but in the end, they were discovered by Shenjiyan!

Xu Zhiqiong was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately set off for the palace. He was going to the back garden to see how many resentful spirits were stored in this magic weapon.

According to what Qiongqi said, Duan Zifang wanted to use the spirit of resentment to ignite resentment and awaken chaos.

If the stone pagoda is destroyed, Duan Zifang's conspiracy will be completely destroyed.

Xu Zhiqiong arrived at Chengfeng Tower and was about to go to the palace, but he stopped suddenly.

He was thinking about one thing.

Why couldn't he and Tao'er find this stone pagoda?

Tao'er used the magic circle, and Xu Zhiqiong also sent a group of servants to search around. Why can't such a shining stone tower be found?
Because someone guards the stone tower, someone interferes with everyone's search.

Who will this person be?

……

Xu Zhiqiong went to Xingxiu Corridor, came to Bai Yueshan and said, "Stop sweeping here, I'll take you to do something serious."

Bai Yueshan was quite disdainful: "What is a serious thing? I sincerely repent here, but am I not serious?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Go with me to do business, the reward is 5000 taels."
