Chapter 135 Official Family VS Empress Cao

Su Yixin pointed to the map of nine stars above, and said to Pan Yi'an: "Yuanjun, does it mean that the sacrificial altar we destroyed represents Jumenxing?"

Pan Yi'an nodded: "It's very possible. The spirit-gathering transfer formation is destroyed, and the people who set up the formation will know soon. Let's leave this place first."

"If you know it, you will know it."

Su Yixin coughed: "Brother, Yuan Jun means that if we can leave quickly, let's go quickly to save our lives."

After all, the formation here was set up jointly by the five Yuanjuns. With Yuanjun's cultivation base, he wanted to reach the battlefield very quickly, not to mention minutes.

Don't leave now, waiting to be blocked here and beaten.

Getting beaten is a small matter, but losing your life is a big matter.

The four of them came out of the water, without caring what to say to Gu Qingjue, they immediately left with the sword.

In order not to allow them to track down their whereabouts, they circled the Ningzhen Mountain Range several times before returning to Wangjia Village.

Su Yixin gave an overview of the underwater situation.

"Yixin, you just destroyed the altar?"

"Ah."

Su Yixin said: "The nine stars are only one star away from being lit up. Once the formation is complete, there is no room for change. We can only destroy it first, at least to buy time to find the other eight."

Afterwards, Su Yixin drew the Nine Stars Map on paper.

"When the sacrificial altar was destroyed, of the eight originally lit stars, only Jumen star dimmed, and after three breaths, the Jiugongtu disappeared. If the Ningzhen Mountain Range represents Jumen star, then Tanlang star It is in the northeast direction of the Ningzhen Mountain Range. But we don’t know the length of the distance, so we can only look in this direction first.”

Fortunately, one has been destroyed now, and the sinister method of trying to use the gathering spirit transfer array to reverse the country's fortune will not work for the time being.

They bought enough time.

The sacrificial altar was destroyed, and the matter here came to an end for the time being. Zhao Jin knew that there were eight similar altars, so he decided to follow this clue and look for it in the northeast direction.

Pan Yi'an returned to Kaifeng Mansion first to report.

Funing Hall
"The minister greets the officials."

"Pan Gong doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down."

"Officials and ministers are just slaves, so you can't do it."

Zhao Zhen smiled, still pointing to the chair next to him, Pan Yi'an was appointed by the late emperor to protect the official family when he was born in the official family.

It can be said that Pan Yi'an grew up watching Zhao Zhen.

For him, Zhao Zhen is very close, and when there is no one in private, he is very easy-going.

So Pan Yi'an sat down next to him.

"Mr. Pan went to Jiangning Prefecture this time, is the matter resolved?"

"Reporting to the official family, this time I went to the Ningzhen Mountains, and indeed found the sacrificial altar of the Xixia people. Its construction is complicated and vicious, but so far it is only one of them. I, the lady who wrote the letter, and others worked together to make it The destruction is only delaying the operation of the sacrificial altar, and it is still necessary to find the other eight altars."

"Since Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor the year before last, he has been ambitious and intends to go south to invade the Song Dynasty. In the first month, he assembled [-] troops and launched the Battle of Sanchuankou. The people were killed and injured. I thought Li Yuanhao was just ambitious and an honest gentleman. I didn't expect to use such a It is really unbearable to be a king with dirty means to fight for the world."

Zhao Zhen has been king for many years and rarely gets angry. This is extremely serious.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen said again: "Mr. Zhao's family is still in Tongyuan Town?"

"Yes, the issue of the sacrificial altar has not been completely resolved. Miss Su speculates that the other one is very likely to be in the northeast of the Ningzhen Mountain Range. Mr. Zhao Jialang plans to look for it along the way."

"Well, Zhao Jin is careful and down-to-earth, but he is not young, it's time to get married."

Pan Yi'an didn't answer these words.

After reporting the matter of Ningzhen Shanshan and his party, Zhao Zhen asked Pan Yi'an to follow Zhao Jin to protect Zhao Jin's safety.

The last time Zhao Jin took back the defense maps of several important towns of the imperial court by himself last time, which has become a thorn in Xixia's side. Such a pillar of the country must not be assassinated by thieves.

After Pan Yi'an withdrew, Zhao Zhen came to the Queen's Palace of Kunning.

I have been used to it for so many years, and the Queen will listen to the things I encounter. When I am confused, the Queen can always give pertinent opinions.

Empress Cao greeted Zhao Zhen, sat down next to him, turned away the servants who were serving her, and said softly: "The official is frowning, what troublesome matter has he encountered?"

Zhao Zhen had come to complain to the queen.

When the queen asked, she explained what happened just now in detail, and then asked, "Yuyan, what do you think of this matter?"

Cao Yuyan smiled lightly and said, "The official has made a decision in his heart, why bother to ask me?"

Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip: "I heard Mrs. Pan mention Miss Su twice. This time, she was able to discover Xixia's conspiracy in time. She contributed a lot. I was thinking about giving some rewards."

Cao Yuyan frowned and said, "Will the officials listen to me?"

"You said."

"The concubine thinks that there is no need to give the reward now, otherwise the Xixia people will inevitably associate her with the Ningzhen Mountain Range, which will be disadvantageous to their family."

Cao Yuyan looked at Zhao Zhen and saw that he was not displeased, so she went on to say: "Didn't Mr. Pan say that Miss Su has an unmarried husband who has extraordinary talents, and he cracked the mechanism of the underwater stone gate this time. But because His parents have passed away, so he might not be able to take part in the provincial examination in autumn, why not just let him study in Songyang Academy which is closer to him, so that he can cultivate talents for the imperial court in advance."

"That's a good idea, Queen."

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up: "I still have some things to do, so the queen will go to bed earlier."

Cao Yuyan showed a hint of frustration, which was quickly replaced by a dignified and gentle smile, and said on a knee, "Respectfully send the official home."

Zhao Zhen walked a few steps, then turned around and said to Cao Yuyan: "The weather is hot recently, I heard that the queen likes the iced fruit wine very much, it's better to eat cold food less, it's good for your health."

"I got it!"

Cao Yuyan's smile gradually dimmed when Zhao Zhen stepped out of Kunning Hall.

Finally even the raised shoulders collapsed.

Lianqiao came in from the door, and supported the queen to sit in front of the dressing table distressedly: "Madam, the official loves you, as long as you ask the official to stay, he will not leave tonight."

Cao Yuyan smiled: "He is willing to stay, and he will stay without me asking."

She didn't want to stay, even if she reluctantly stayed in the Kunning Palace because of concerns about her face, the result was not what Cao Yuyan wanted.

She, Cao Yuyan, has her own pride.

"Your Majesty, you are always like this. When will the officials see the goodness of the Empress? Recently, the officials have been diligent in running to Zhang Cairen."

The official family and the empress, the two do not quarrel, the official family has given the empress a decent face, but the number of times the two have been together is very small, since the empress entered the palace, it has been the seventh year, and she has not given birth to a child and a half Girl, how can I let the servants who are serving them not be in a hurry.
