Mei Niang thought for a while, then said: "He must be very old...so his voice is old, but...!"

"but what?"

"But his voice seems very thin." Mei Niang frowned and said, "If he is really old, his voice shouldn't be so thin...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "So you heard it too."

"Did you find anything?"

Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally said: "Many years ago, I met a person who regarded me as Shenyiwei and thought I was following him. According to what he said, the Shenyiweidu may It's a... eunuch!"

"Eunuch?" Meiniang was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly sneered and said, "It's not surprising if Weidu Shenyi is an eunuch."

"Oh?"

"Think about it, the Shenyi Guards monitor all officials, and they are the most concealed weapon in the hands of the emperor." Mei Niang said: "Although such a team must directly obey the emperor, the emperor may not have time to control it all the time. , so it is essential to have a Shenyi Weidu who leads the Shenyiwei. It’s just that not everyone is qualified to be the Shenyi Weidu.”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

"Shenyi Weidu, of course, must be completely loyal to the emperor, and there are not too many ties." Meiniang said slowly: "The only ones who really don't have too many ties are eunuchs. Eunuchs are not normal people. They use the palace as their home. That is their lair, and the emperor is their greatest reliance, if a eunuch is the guard, at least he will be more loyal than ordinary officials."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." He sighed softly, "If it's really a eunuch, then of course it came from the palace. I never imagined that there would be such a powerful person in the palace."

Mei Niang sneered and said: "The dog emperor of Qin has killed countless people in his life and forged so many grievances. Although he is high above, there are as many people who want to kill him. If there are no powerful people around him to protect him, he will be afraid of dogs. The emperor's head was taken off a long time ago."

At this time, it was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and the afterglow shone on the lake, sparkling. Chu Huan stared at the lake and said softly: "The emperor is in Hexi, why didn't the guard protect him? What is it for?"

Mei Niang also frowned, and asked, "Brother Huan, do you believe what that old monk said?"

"what?"

"He said that he is a disciple of the Great Heart Sect, or a senior brother of Master Ghost." Meiniang said, "Do you think what he said is true?"

Chu Huan smiled lightly and said, "I'm also thinking about this question. He seems to know the situation of Master Ghost very well. Even if he is not the senior brother of Master Ghost, he must have a great relationship with Master Ghost. But he is a disciple of Daxin Sect, so he should no doubt."

Mei Niang said: "He led you to Xiaoyun Mountain, really looking for you for Master Ghost's affairs? Is there something hidden?"

Chu Huan didn't answer, but stood up slowly.

Seeing that Chu Huan didn't answer, Meiniang asked again: "What's the matter with the sky you told him about? You knew the sky existed?"

"Heaven is an underground organization. It is said that their purpose is to find six dragon relics." Chu Huan said softly: "The six dragons gather troops and the Bodhisattva opens the door. Get the dragon relic."

Mei Niang hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "If I knew what it meant, I wouldn't be so clueless."

"Master Shu Bojia said that when the six pieces of dragon relics are gathered, the Buddha Sect Heavenly Dragon will appear." Meiniang frowned and said, "Are they trying to make the Buddha Sect Heavenly Dragon appear?"

"What's going on, we can't figure it out now." Chu Huan sighed: "Whoever he is, what does he have to do with us...!"

Mei Niang rolled her eyes and said softly: "They said that the Red Dragon is in your hands, is it true?"

"What do you think?" Chu Huan stared into Mei Niang's eyes.

Mei Niang smiled lightly, and gave Chu Huan a blank look, "Why do you look at me like this? I just asked. I am your wife now, so it doesn't matter if you tell me."

Chu Huan raised his hand, put it on Meiniang's shoulder, and said softly: "Meiniang, you have seen the situation today, both Chabo and Weidu are extremely masters, and they are all involved in Long Sheli , so the less you know, the safer you will be. I am right, you are my wife now, and it is my duty to protect your safety. I don’t want you to get involved in trouble, let alone encounter It's dangerous, so the less you know about Long Sheli in the future, the safer it will be."

Mei Niang pouted her red lips, and said angrily: "Isn't it because I don't want to tell people, I really think that people want to know, if I don't tell them, I don't say it... that's right, where are we going next?"

"Yunshan Mansion." Chu Huan looked to the north, "Yunshan Mansion is not far ahead, let's rush there now, before the city gate is closed, we should be able to arrive, now Yunshan Mansion replenishes the things we need on the way, and then Go to Hexi."

The three of them didn't delay by the lake, they got on their horses and headed northward, and they arrived at the city gate when it was completely dark, but Chu Huan saw from a distance that there were many guards at the city gate, and the inspection was extremely strict when entering the city. The line was quite long, and the soldiers guarding the gate meticulously checked the passers-by.

"My lord, we need to search when we enter the city." Qi Hong approached, "I'm afraid we won't be able to bring our weapons in."

Chu Huan frowned slightly. He tried his best to conceal his identity when he came out on this trip. He dressed very ordinaryly, and he didn't even choose a first-class horse for his mount. No matter how he looked at it, there would be no big problem. However, weapons are really a problem. Originally, the empire implemented a hunting order with knives, and ordinary people were not allowed to carry weapons at all, and now is the time when the world is in turmoil. Carrying weapons can easily be regarded as rioters by officers and soldiers, causing a lot of trouble please come.

Qi Hong pondered for a while, before saying: "Sir, why don't you and your wife go to the city and wait outside the city with a lowly position."

"Wait outside the city?" Chu Huan scolded with a low laugh: "Do you want to sleep outside the city overnight?" But his eyes were staring at the distance, and he said with a smile: "Maybe there is no way...!"

Mei Niang couldn't help turning her head when she saw him looking back. Not far away, a convoy was slowly approaching the edge of the city. At the front of the convoy were a few men on tall horses, and one of them was holding a vertical flag. It was already dark, but Chu Huan vaguely saw a big "Fang" written on the vertical flag.

Qi Hong couldn't help but said: "Whose team is this, it seems to be quite a show...!" He had already seen that the men on the horses were all wearing knives around their waists, and these days the attendants dared to carry knives If it is expensive, it is expensive, so Qi Hong was naturally the first to think that this is an official team.

"No...!" Meiniang shook her head and said, "It's not the official team...!"

As the convoy approached, Qi Hong realized that behind the riders was a rather gorgeous carriage, a double-horse carriage. On the top of the carriage was a sculpture of a peacock, shining faintly in the dark. The silver light seems to be made of sterling silver. The peacock spreads its tail and stands on the top of the carriage, which is very conspicuous. Although you can't see the interior of the carriage, you can already feel the openness of the carriage.

Behind the carriage, there are four carriages following, but they are all single-horse carts, but they are all flatbed carts. There are boxes piled up on the carts, ranging from large to small, square and long, with a lot of goods. They were all followed by five or six people, and at the end of the team, there were four or five cavalry following, all of them armed with swords. This team added up to three or forty people.

The rider in the front was dressed in blue shorts and shorts. He had a long thin face and thin lips, but he looked rather arrogant. He didn't look sideways or look at the people on both sides. When he walked to the gate, the man in blue gave him a wink. Immediately, someone nearby urged the horse forward, and said in a rough voice: "The front is out of the way, don't get in the way...!"

Chu Huan was riding on the horse, watching quietly not far away, but Qi Hong frowned slightly, and said to Mei Niang in a low voice: "Ma'am, they are so arrogant, they are not officials, how can they be so courageous? This capital city Everyone has to line up, but they are so arrogant...!"

Mei Niang smiled faintly, and said softly: "You don't know who is sitting in that carriage, so you say that."

Chu Huan said softly: "Could it be that you know who is in the carriage?"

"That's natural." Meiniang sat behind Chu Huan, leaned forward slightly with her own hands, and blew lightly in Chu Huan's ear, the fragrance overflowed, "Who do you want to know?"

Chu Huan said, "You don't talk if you like." He just stared at the peacock sculpture on the top of the carriage.

"Ask someone else, you're still so impolite." Meiniang sighed quietly, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that none of you have heard of the Jinling sparrow?"

"Jinling Sparrow?" Chu Huan frowned, "What is that?"

"Oh, my good brother, that's not a thing, it's a real person. You've stayed in the capital for so long, and you really don't know much about it." In the capital, you should have heard of the reputation of the Jinling sparrow, she is the stunning beauty who is known as the number one dancer in Jinling...!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Stunning beauty? There is a stunning beauty beside me. Is there anyone more beautiful than you?"

Mei Niang spat, lightly slapped Chu Huan on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "She is not only beautiful, but also has excellent dancing skills. In her early years, she was very popular in the capital. Many princes and nobles flocked to her, but no one dared to provoke her."

"A dancer, no matter how famous she is, how can no one dare to provoke her?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Does she have a deep background?"

"It's not surprising to say that the Jinling sparrow was very famous in the capital back then. If I remember correctly, one year the queen was born. The emperor pardoned the world and held a birthday ceremony for the queen." Mei Niang said softly: "The Jinling sparrow He was invited to the palace by Duke Anguo, who was still powerful at the time, to perform a dance specially for the queen's birthday. It is said that the queen praised the Jinling sparrow dancing skills in public, and the emperor even gave her the name of "Guo Ji". Do you think such a character Who else would dare to provoke her? Later she went to Jinling again, and she became famous in Jinling, and was privately called the Jinling Bird, just because her "Peacock Flowing Cloud" was unmatched. How many dancers imitated "Peacock Flowing Cloud", but No one can deduce the beauty of it, and only she is praised by Jinling as a well-deserved Jinling peacock."

Hearing this, Chu Huan murmured to himself: "Princess of the State? Peacock Liuyun? This identity is really not simple, but why did this princess of the State come to Xishan? Could it be that she can dance in Xishan?"
