Chapter 304 Tiger Talisman
For her?Rong Zhao curled his lips inwardly, stopped beating after a few beats, and said sullenly, "Then what gift do you want to give me?"

Emperor Xiao Jing took out a badge in the shape of a crouching tiger, Rong Zhao was about to pick it up, but he pulled it back, "This is for you and Junjue, please remember, don't give it to anyone else, definitely not to anyone else."

Rong Zhao snatched it away, she looked it over and over again, and said disgustedly: "I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be such a crap thing, and rewarding a piece of gold is better than this."

Emperor Xiao Jing gave a "tsk", Rong Zhao felt that he had slipped his words, he chuckled, and said, "I know, father's thought is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"Do you know what this is for?" Emperor Xiao Jing saw that she didn't take it seriously, and was really afraid that she would throw it away.

Rong Zhao really didn't see the name, raised his eyebrows, "Could it be possible to command thousands of troops?"

Seeing that Emperor Xiao Jing looked at him without saying a word, Rong Zhao finally realized what he was holding, and felt that his hand was so pressed that he couldn't lift it up, "Is this the legendary Tiger Talisman?"

The tiger talisman is a token used by the emperor when dispatching troops. The tiger talisman is divided into two, with two talismans on the left and right.The right talisman is in the hands of the emperor, and the left talisman is in the hands of the chiefs or generals in charge of the army. In this way, the generals only have the right to lead the army, and the right to deploy troops is still firmly in the hands of the emperor.

But the one in her hand is a complete one.

"This tiger talisman can mobilize 50 people in the Northwest Army, so you must keep it safe and use your life to keep it." It was the first time Rong Zhao saw the emperor's uncle talking to her so seriously, with the majesty of an emperor.

"Because once it is lost and picked up by someone who is planning to do something wrong, it is likely to bring a huge crisis to Da Zhou."

Rong Zhao seemed to be holding a hot potato in his hands, and quickly threw his hands back to Xiao Jingdi, "Then don't give it to me, I can't afford to lose it. Anyway, you gave it to Xiao Jun, then Just give it to him directly, why bother to let me keep it, and keep it with your life."

"If I give it to him, he won't take it. It's best for you to keep it. Remember, you can't take it out unless it is absolutely necessary." Emperor Xiao Jing stuffed the tiger amulet into Rong Zhao's hand, and pressed it hard.

Rong Zhao was miserable, his palms were hot, "When is it a last resort?"

Emperor Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, his heavy voice was like a rock, and said: "When he is going back to Changge City?"

"When we go back to Changge City?" Rong Zhao didn't realize Xiao Jingdi's real intention, so he was overjoyed and asked, "Can we still come back?"

Emperor Xiao Jing looked at her, "I hope you will never come back."

In the end, he still left a way for this son. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. As an emperor, it must be wrong, but as a father, a father who just wanted to make up for it, he really did everything he could. , he did everything he could not do.

Rong Zhao couldn't understand, but he put away the tiger amulet. With a Northwest Army of 50 and 24 states, Xiao Junjue can completely become king on his own. If his cousin becomes the emperor in the future, how can he regain him? ?
Now that the emperor's uncle secretly gave her the military talisman, Xiao Junjue didn't know it at all, why didn't she give the military talisman to her cousin, because the cousin had an army, and his position would be more stable.

"Zhaozhao, remember, you can't give it to anyone except Junjue, do you hear me clearly?" Emperor Xiao Jing warned Rongzhao again and again, holding her shoulder, "I trust you to give you this tiger talisman. It must be kept well, and it must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise I will not feel at ease even if I die."

The hands on his shoulders were as heavy as gold, Rong Zhao looked at him and nodded involuntarily.

Rong Zhao has been restless for the past few days, and the tiger talisman is like a sword hanging above her head, making her restless.

She wanted to send the Tiger Talisman to Xiao Jinyu, but every time she reached the gate, she couldn't get out.

Today she walked to the door again, improved compared to the previous few days, and walked out of the door.

The guards at the door greeted her one after another. She looked left and right, stopped for a while, then raised her foot and went back.

"Where do you want to go, miss?" Qiu Shui couldn't help asking, it's been like this every day for the past few days, and she doesn't know what the miss wants to do.

Rong Zhao glanced at her, "Nothing, I just want to breathe, can't I?"

Qiu Shui shrank her neck and pursed her mouth. Since she scolded the young lady last time, she hasn't gotten good looks from the young lady. Although she didn't get punished, she knew that this time she had offended the young lady thoroughly.

It seems that her life will become more and more difficult in the future.

"Okay, Miss can do whatever she wants." Qiu Shui smiled obsequiously, but it couldn't change Rong Zhao's good face.

Rong Zhao was troubled in her heart, she didn't know what was wrong, she had a good idea at first, and handed the tiger amulet to her cousin, but after dawdling for a few days, the idea became smaller and smaller like the flame of a candle that was about to burn out.

Forget it, don't give it to anyone, she keeps it for herself, and just treat it as nothing.

In this way, the cousin will not be afraid of Xiao Junjue, and she can be regarded as fulfilling her promise to the emperor's uncle.

Rong Zhao finally made up his mind.

It can be regarded as the reconciliation of the troubled matter for many days, and Rong Zhao immediately felt much more relaxed.

Holding the sweet-scented osmanthus branches in her hand, she hummed a little tune and strolled casually in the palace.

In fact, after coming back for so long, she really didn't take a good look around. Today, on a whim, she walked all the places in Chu Palace that she had never been to before.

Prince Chu's mansion is not bad, bigger than Rong Zhao imagined, it seems that the emperor's uncle really loves him, but he doesn't know what the mansion in Yizhou will look like.

Although Rong Zhao talked about not going to Yizhou with Xiao Junjue, he seemed to agree in his heart.

What choice does she have? Her father, younger brother, and even the eldest uncle and the second uncle have all been bought by Xiao Junjue. She said she would stay in Changge City and reprimanded her one by one.

She was completely alone.

The hope of staying is getting slimmer.

The autumn wind was rustling, and the withered and yellow leaves fell from the branches, floating all over the ground, and there was a crisp sound of leaves breaking when stepped on.

It was left by the wind blowing all night. The servants were bending over to clean it. Today's wind is a bit strong. After sweeping one layer of fallen leaves, another layer was laid.

Rong Zhao came to the coldest place. There was not even a single person in this place. The fallen leaves on the ground were piled up in several layers, and no one cleaned them.

It seems to be a place where birds don't shit.

"Miss, there's nothing to see here. The house looks like it's been in disrepair for a long time. Look, the windows upstairs are all down."

Qiu Shui shuddered when she came here, feeling that it was eerie, and she had been in Chu Palace for a long time, but she had never been here.

Rong Zhao was curious, however, that the Chu Palace was rebuilt from the former King Fu’s mansion, and the area next to it was expanded. Although it was an old building, it should have been completely refurbished.

Driven by curiosity, Rong Zhao went in by mistake. Although Qiu Shui's scalp was numb, he still followed her.

In fact, there was nothing after entering, except for a bookshelf, the place was empty and there was nothing.

If you say a word, you can even hear the echo.

"Miss, there's nothing to see, let's go." Qiu Shui felt that this place was gloomy and cold, maybe it had been abandoned all year round, and it wasn't even popular.

"Looking at you like that, you can see everything with just one glance. There's nothing there. It's really useless." In fact, Rong Zhao was also scared in his heart. It's scary to have nothing.

However, she couldn't help frowning as she looked at the books on the wall abruptly placed in the empty room.

Why is it a little weird?

She walked over and took a book from the bookshelf. It was "Spring and Autumn". The book was covered with a layer of dust. Rong Zhao pinched the corner of the book cover with his fingernails, pulled the corner of his mouth, and threw it on the ground.

The dust on the book fell to the ground, more than the dust on the ground.

She waved her hand in front of the tip of her nose, it was so dirty, how could there be such a dirty place.

Rong Zhao scanned the bookshelf, and the books were neatly arranged. Suddenly, her eyes stopped, and there was a hexagonal inkstone in an inconspicuous place in the lower left corner of the bookshelf.

There is an inkstone on the bookshelf, no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit awkward.

Rong Zhao squatted down and looked at it, his eyes lit up, it was a top-quality Duan inkstone.

Rong Zhao is not talented, but influenced by his father, he has a little understanding of these pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Lord Rong always has a hobby of collecting these things, especially the Duan inkstone among inkstones, and praises its solid and delicate quality, moist and delicate, elegant and colorful, and the characteristics of ink without damage, which is the first among inkstones.

So Rong Zhao could see it at a glance.

This inkstone looks like a high-quality Duanyan inkstone, but I didn't expect this broken house to have such a treasure.

Putting it here is not a waste of money, it is better for her to take it away to honor her father.

Rong Zhao got greedy for a moment, and took it with her hands, but found that the inkstone was stuck firmly on the bookshelf, and she tried her best to suck it up, but she still didn't separate it.

"What's going on?" Rong Zhao didn't believe that she could not handle an inkstone.

Could it be too long to be glued?

She twisted it, eh?It can turn left and right.Rong Zhao twisted it to the right, but it moved without any effort.

But it wasn't just the inkstone that moved, even the bookshelf moved.Qiu Shui pulled the stunned Rong Zhao away and stood in front of her. She thought she had touched some mechanism, and thought that if an arrow shot out, she would block it for the young lady.

No arrows shot out, the bookshelves slowly split into two, and even the wall behind the bookshelves also parted.

Rong Zhao pushed Qiushui away, curiosity drove her to find out.

Qiu Shui held her back, "Miss, don't go in, it's so dark inside that I don't know what's inside."

"It's okay." Rong Zhao didn't listen to the persuasion, and walked in while leaning on the wall.

Because of the wind pouring in, the weak candle flame slowly burned up.

It was a staircase going underground, with no handrails on both sides, Rong Zhao walked slowly with his belly outstretched.Qiu Shui followed her step by step, supporting her carefully.

The smell of blood became stronger as it went down, but it couldn't be smelled from above.Qiu Shui was a little frightened, and grabbed Rong Zhao tightly, crying, "Miss, let's get out of here quickly, it's too scary."

"What are you afraid of? I'm down now, so I'll see what Xiao Junjue is hiding here." Rong Zhao was terrified in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.In fact, she has already regretted it. She should have listened to Qiu Shui just now, but now, she will lose face if she shrinks back at this time.
