Luo Xiyao didn't go back after going down the mountain, but asked Xiao Ke to help send news to the thin man, telling the thin man her whereabouts, so that the thin man would not be worried and join Ding Zhen to overthrow Crescent Moon Town.

She wasn't so arrogant that she thought that Bai Yanwen had suffered a loss in her hands, so she decided that Bai Yanwen was an idiot.

It's okay in ordinary people's homes, but in the royal family, idiots can't survive.

Even with Ding Zhen's help, Jin Qiyue's trouble with Bai Yanwen would be like hitting a stone with an egg.

As for Xiao Ke, she is not worried that he will betray him, after all, he is still waiting for her to come back and search for the treasure with him!

With enough interest entanglements, their alliance will be unbreakable, unless there is someone more suitable than her, but it is very difficult to appear within three days.

It took about three hours before Luo Xiyao sneaked into Beiquan Port.

Rubbing her stomach and smelling the aroma of various foods around her, Luo Xiyao led the horse and decided to find a small restaurant for dinner.

She was dressed in a Taoist priest's old clothes, and she didn't attract the attention of others when she walked into the small restaurant, but the diners sitting at the door glanced at her and turned away.

Xiao Er enthusiastically took the horse away and told her that she would feed the horse with fodder.

When the food was served, Luo Xiyao rewarded Xiao Er with a dime of silver, and Xiao Er immediately bowed happily and said, "Is this the first time you come to Beiquan Port, guest officer? If you want to know anything, I will definitely tell you everything." .”

"Sit down and chat?" Luo Xiyao picked up a teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea and put it beside her, motioning for Xiao Er to sit down and talk, "At this time, there are no guests coming in, so wait for the people in the hall to sit down and talk." After eating, you can rest for more than an hour. Talking now, the shopkeeper should not be unhappy."

"That's true." Xiaoer saw that the guest officer would have many questions to ask, and he was almost busy anyway, so he sat down and said, "What do you want to know?"

Luo Xiyao moved the chair forward, and said softly: "I came from Crescent Moon Town, over there... why is Beiquan Harbor still so lively?"

Xiao Er vigilantly looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he stretched his neck, leaned over and said, "This is Beiquan Port! Although it is not the largest port in Dongqi, there are many ships passing by every day. If It’s really because of some reason that the port is closed and ships are not allowed. The merchants around us are fine, but what can those big merchants do? Every day, it’s all white money!”

"Isn't Crescent Town forbidden to enter and leave?" Xiao Er looked at her suspiciously.

Luo Xiyao frankly tugged on her Taoist robe, "Thanks to this dress."

Xiao Er smiled knowingly, "Just say it!" He pointed to his eyes, and made a six with his fingers, "Hey, I have been a Xiao Er for many years, and I went out for a trip when I was six years old. Most people can't hide it My eyes! As soon as you came in, I saw that you were not an ordinary person, definitely not a poor Taoist priest."

"Poor Taoist priest?" Luo Xiyao pretended to be curious, "I was very surprised when I was in Crescent Moon Town. This side is near the river and the sea, but why does the Dragon King Temple..."

"Hush! Can't say."

"what?"

"It's haunted."

Luo Xiyao was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed and laughed, "It's fine if it's some other place, it's a temple. Although I didn't go in, I can still see the Dragon King statue inside through the dilapidated doors and windows. As for... you are too ridiculous."

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xiao Er immediately became unhappy, and began to detail the strange things about Dragon King Temple.

"That is to say... the Dragon King Temple was abandoned because of bandits killing people, and then began... to be haunted?"

Xiao Er nodded, "It is said that those people died unwillingly."

"What's dead? Where did the murderous bandits come from? Why is the Dragon King Temple in Beiquan City like this, and the Dragon King Temple in Crescent Moon Town?" Luo Xiyao curled her lips, "Could it be that the bandits around here are against the Dragon King Temple? Have a soft spot?"

Seeing that Xiao Er was in trouble, she knew that there was something else going on, "If there is too little meat, I won't be full, so give me another plate of sauced meat, and you can keep the rest."

Holding the silver, Xiao Er said loudly: "A plate of sauced meat!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper's crackling planner didn't look up, he leaned over and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the kitchen and watch them cut, and I'll make sure they cut the meat thickly, and one plate is worth two plates! Don't worry, take your time." Use, wait for the guests around to disperse, and I will tell you about the Dragon King Temple in detail."

"it is good."

Since ancient times, having money can make ghosts turn mills is nothing to Luo Xiyao, she even thinks that money can turn mills turn ghosts.

I have to say that although the food in this small restaurant is expensive, the taste is really good. I don't know if it's because Xiao Er took advantage of it. Luo Xiyao even thinks that the taste of sauced meat is not worse than that of the capital.

After eating and drinking, Luo Xiyao wiped the corners of her mouth, "You mean...the people who died in the Dragon King Temple were the princess' children, and the murderers were not ordinary water bandits?"

"Yes!" Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, Xiao Er secretly grabbed some slices of sauced meat and ate them. He almost choked on the food, and quickly took a few sips of herbal tea before feeling alive. Ah, it's not the people above, who can have so many gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings?"

"You're talking nonsense again." The shopkeeper walked over at some point, slapped Xiao Er on the back of the head, and politely said to Luo Xiyao, "I'm sorry, guest officer, my nephew has always liked to hear these things since he was a child. The marginal stories are all rumors, it’s so unusual, and the Yamen is not a decoration! Besides, I was only a teenager at that time, and this kid hadn’t been born yet, so what could he know?”

"Why don't I know? I haven't seen or heard of it?" Xiaoer was not convinced. Anyway, his uncle found out that he was lazy, so he smashed the jar and said, "You didn't like it at that time." I always like to run around when looking at the store, so there are many things you don't know, and what I know, it's all my grandfather told me."

The shopkeeper can't say that his father is wrong, so he can only grab Xiaoer by the ear and ask him to help with the work, and then said to Luo Xiyao: "Many outsiders are curious why our Dragon King Temple is dilapidated and neither repaired nor demolished , Hey! In fact, it’s nothing to say, but because the Dragon King Temple is a good place, anyone who is capable wants it, and the yamen can’t afford to offend, so they simply don’t give it to anyone.”

"I see."

The shopkeeper drove Xiao Er away with a smile, and said: "Although my nephew is lazy and poor-mouthed, he is delicious and fun. The restaurants and places he said are good. You can go and have a look."

"Thank you."

Luo Xiyao got up to leave, and when she went outside to take the reins, she heard the shopkeeper whisper: "Guest officer, your black horse looks very handsome, you have to watch it, be careful. Many men in Beiquan like it." Where are the horses?"

"Master Gu's rule is very strict, and he still..."

The shopkeeper whispered: "The epidemic is serious in Crescent Town. Many people come to Beiquan to seek refuge. There are too many people, and there are inevitably places that Mr. Gu can't take care of. Besides, Mr. Gu only cares about one-third of an acre of land in Beiquan, and the nobles make trouble. After patting his buttocks and leaving by boat, Master Gu can let the navy chase after him?"

Luo Xiyao immediately understood, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper."
