Divine Doctor and Poisonous Girl

Chapter 781 Killing two birds with one stone

Seeing her earnest appearance of secretly calculating, Ji Xuanqing couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch her nose, and said softly: "I'm still thinking about these things after going back, we'd better go ahead and look for it. It would be best if we can find it, isn't it?" Is it?"

"Of course." Yun Xiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, straightened up carefully, and quietly observed the situation in the hall.

After the lights in the hall were extinguished for a while, the two of them sneaked into the hall silently and searched lightly.

However, after searching around, there was nothing to gain.

But they were discovered, so the two had to leave first.

After leaving the palace, the two jumped directly onto the roof of Zhengde Palace, sat on the high roof, and talked in a low voice.

"The treasure map fragments were not found in the treasure house or here. Could it be that we are thinking in the wrong direction? But if it is not in these two places, where is it?" Yun Xiyue whispered with a sad face.

Ji Xuanqing also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial palace is huge, if you search everywhere, you are asking for trouble. If you can't find the treasure map fragments, it seems that you have to find another way."

Yun Xiyue supported her head with her hands, and sighed, "Are you really going to let me exchange pills with the emperor? If so, how many pills should I use?"

"Maybe the emperor can give you the treasure map fragments without exchanging pills."

When Yun Xiyue heard it, she immediately looked at him with bright eyes: "What can I do? Don't be a fool."

"Catch that evil cultivator."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it?" Yun Xiyue said suddenly, "The Patriarch Gongsun put pressure on the emperor to catch that evil cultivator within three days, and the emperor is distressed by it. If we dare If you catch that evil cultivator before the emperor, won't you have the conditions to negotiate with the emperor?"

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Ji Xuanqing, with a look of begging for praise: "Am I right?"

"That's right." Ji Xuanqing nodded, with a smile on the corner of her lips, "We have to catch that evil cultivator no matter what, so why use this evil cultivator in exchange for treasure map fragments? Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

"Yes, it kills two birds with one stone!" Yun Xiyue said with a smile, "Then let's go back first, and after we catch that evil cultivator, we can negotiate with the emperor."

Ji Xuanqing nodded slightly, and left the palace with her without a sound.

……

The next day.

Because Ji Xuanqing had already arranged for the ghost messengers to capture the evil cultivator, so they had nothing to do until the evil cultivator was caught.

Since there was nothing to do, Yun Xiyue took Ji Xuanqing to go shopping, to see if she could find any new news.

After wandering around for about an hour, the two came to a street tea stall and sat down to drink tea.

As soon as they sat down, the two heard three middle-aged men at the next table discussing something.

"Have you heard? A dozen people died overnight in the city."

"Of course I've heard about it! It spread early in the morning. I heard that all the dozen or so people died after being sucked dry of their flesh and blood. What a miserable death!"

"I also heard that the young master of the Gongsun family died in the same manner! It seems that the same person did it. The Gongsun family is trying their best to catch the murderer, and even the emperor was alarmed."

"The Gongsun family is a well-known family of alchemists, and even the emperor treats them with courtesy. If such a big incident happened to the Gongsun family, can the emperor not be alarmed?"

The two quietly listened to the discussion of the three, with surprise and doubt in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, that evil cultivator dared to commit murder in the imperial city, and murdered more than a dozen people at once!
