Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 35 Zhao Jia
A heavy snow fell quietly one night before winter.Most people don't discover the whiteness of the city until the next morning.The busy poor people rubbed their hands together, looking at the sky and worrying about this winter which was much colder than usual.The rich people cursed a few words, and then got into the warm bed and waited for the sun.Only the children got up early without any difference, ran out of the door with bloated clothes but excited faces, and played happily.

Fang Jie's family has moved back to Fang Mansion for several days.

This morning, Fang Yuanshan, who was clearly a super rich man, was still sleeping, while Fang Jie, who was ordered to enter the palace, had already been dressed up by Mrs. Liu who woke up earlier, and then, with the image that a young talent should have, He walked out of the door very decently from head to toe, and came outside the palace not long after, and finally entered the palace together with Zhao Zidan and Hong Cheng under the leadership of an eunuch.

This place where the members of the royal family and the symbol of centralization lived, because the turmoil of the coup d'etat had not yet completely ended, and because of the heavy snow, the maids and eunuchs I encountered basically hurried past in a shy way; The groups of soldiers that I met after walking a little further, also kept their eyes fixed and expressionless.On the whole, it feels like the buildings under the snow are as deserted.

"Here we are." Walking side by side, Hong Chen suddenly said.This person is seven or eight years older than Fang Jie. He is handsome and has long fingers. He smiles when he speaks and has a serious face when he doesn't speak. He looks polite and has a tutor.

"En? You don't need to see the emperor?" Zhao Zidan asked, frowning.He was born tall and mighty, with a tiger's back and a dragon's waist, his temperament seemed very dull, and he didn't like to talk to the extreme.

These two people met Fang Jie before, but they didn't have much intersection, so they never dealt with each other.In addition, because he was the youngest and because of their personalities, he never struck up a conversation with these two people during the journey into the palace side by side. It was just a symbolic acquaintance at the beginning, and now I don't even intend to open my mouth to say anything.

Na Hong Cheng said with a faint smile: "We entered the palace today as non-civilian officials and generals. According to etiquette, we don't need to meet the emperor."

"Oh." Zhao Zidan nodded. Although his brows were stretched, it was not difficult to see his dissatisfaction.

Just like that, the three of them were handed over by the little eunuch to an official wearing a third-rank official uniform, and he brought the three of them into a room with the same seriousness.

When they saw the teleportation array in the center of the room, Fang Jie, Hong Cheng, and Zhao Zidan were all moved in their hearts.

"Three, please take the removal order, you have an hour." The old man with a gray beard said.

The three of them took it and thanked them, then walked into the teleportation array. When the light flashed, they opened their eyes and saw that they had already arrived in a building somewhere.

Looking around, the roof, walls, and feet are all rough stone slabs, with a height of more than ten meters and endless length.

The three of them raised their feet and started to walk forward. After about a few minutes, rows of large shelves arranged horizontally and vertically appeared, with calligraphy, landscape paintings, inscriptions, books, etc. placed on them.

These celebrity works collected and collected by the royal family are of course rare and rare treasures. Hong Cheng, who was born in a scholarly family, was immediately impressed.

But Fang Jie and Zhao Zidan continued to move forward and walked for another 10 minutes, and there were still things of the same type displayed all around, which made them somewhat bored.

"Brother Fang, Hong Cheng and I have not had time to thank you for opening the north city gate for the army a few days ago, no wonder." Zhao Zidan said suddenly.

Fang Jie was a little surprised, but said in time: "It should be, Brother Zhao, you're welcome."

Zhao Zidan nodded, obviously he was not a polite person, and he didn't want to waste time entanglement, so he continued to move forward without saying anything.

Fang Jie stretched his neck to look around, and saw that there was no end to the large shelves displaying paintings and calligraphy, so he was a little bored, thinking about chatting to pass the time, so he asked along the topic: "By the way, I'm looking for brother, I have always had a question in my mind, and I want to ask you for advice.”

Zhao Zidan was frowning at this time, obviously full of complaints about these calligraphy and paintings, and said without turning his head when he heard the words: "There is no need to ask for advice, I will tell you what I know. Brother Fang, but it's okay to say."

Fang Jun nodded, stopped his words before asking: "I always thought that the second prince only used the city defense army under his control, plus some old officials in the hands of Lord Zhan, and the two bought by the royal family to enshrine. It seems unreasonable for a master of the Three Realms of Heaven and Man to dare to launch a coup d’état. What do you think Brother Zhao thinks about this?”

"It's because you don't know much, so you feel this way." Zhao Zidan turned his head and said, "Actually, the prince is nothing, mainly Prince Zhan. According to the information obtained by Hong Cheng and me, before this person launched the coup, , I mastered a secret force and arranged it outside the city. Among them, there are only three masters in the third realm of heaven and man, and even more in the second level of the air domain. Otherwise, Hong Cheng and I would not have led tens of thousands of troops and two A master of the three realms of heaven and man, so aggressive. It's just that for some reason, Lord Zhan didn't use that secret power until his death, so we put down the rebellion in such a short time."

"Arranged outside the city? Three masters of the Three Realms of Heaven and Man?" Fang Jie's heart moved, and he couldn't help but lower his head to think.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Zidan didn't say much.

The two of them walked forward with different thoughts, and they walked for another 10 minutes before arriving at the place where the weapons and treasures were displayed. At this time, Hong Chen also followed with a scroll of paintings.

"Hong Cheng, each of us can only choose two treasures, and you just took a piece of waste paper?" Zhao Zidan said helplessly.

Hong Cheng was not angry at all, and still excitedly said: "Zi Dan's words are wrong. This is not a scrap of paper, but a calligraphy of a generation of master painters 300 years ago. So far, there are less than ten pieces preserved in the whole mainland. Hehe, my father has always wanted to collect them, but it is a pity that the ones he has encountered over the past few decades are all imitations, I never thought that I would come across the real ones here, it must be my luck."

"You are the only one who is filial." Zhao Zidan simply rolled his eyes, and then strode away.

Fang Jie suddenly found that the two people were not that dull, so he couldn't help showing a smile, nodded to Hong Cheng, and walked away.

Although it is the national treasury, the real top-notch treasures are probably used by the royal family, and those that can stay here for many years covered with dust are at most only high-level spiritual products.Fortunately, the lack of quality can be replaced by quantity. Looking around, the things displayed here are larger than the area where calligraphy and painting were displayed before, including various armors, knives, weapons, utensils, exercises, and even pills. In short, there are all kinds of things , a wide variety of everything you expect to see.

Three-point tacit understanding separated and acted separately, not to mention the other two people. The first thing Fang Jie found was a space ring that could store items and spirit beasts. The space inside was not very large, only about ten square meters, but because it was a A space mage at the level of the three realms of heaven and man can only be produced together with a large formation mage of the three realms of heaven and man. The grade has reached the middle level of the spirit, and it can be regarded as a rare treasure.

"I still need to find a five-element fate technique. En." Thinking in his heart, he walked to the place where the exercises were displayed.

It happened that Hong Cheng was also here. After Fang Jie looked at this person and nodded, he left some distance and started to read.

Soon, a high-level five-element life style natal exercise caught his attention.He flipped through the prologue and introduction that could only be opened, and prepared to take it away when he was satisfied.

"Boy, it's strange that you have dual lives and you hide it very deeply." However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

Fang Jie was taken aback, secretly thinking that someone could see his double fate? !But on the surface it looked impermanent.He looked up and found that it wasn't Hong Cheng who was speaking, and Hong Cheng also acted as if he didn't hear it.

"Don't worry, I'm using my soul to communicate with you. Others can't hear it, and you can also let me know what you are talking about by silently reading." The voice came again.

Fang Jie calmed down a bit, while secretly searching around, he asked in his heart, "Who are you?"

"My name is Zhao Jia, and I am a counselor in the Three Realms of Heaven and Man."

"That's all?"

"Hey, you're not stupid. Well, I was conspired to lose my body, so I can only live in the form of a soul, hiding in a certain artifact here. I'm afraid it is in the form of a soul that I can see my recovery Show your double life. Hehe, let’s not talk about this, anyway, I will not reveal this secret, and you, I hope you can take me out of here.” Zhao Jia is obviously an old man, but he looks frivolous and unsteady The voice continued.

After listening, Fang Jie said directly: "Sorry, I'm not interested, and I can only take two things out, so please ask others to help."

"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secret?" Zhao Jia threatened.

"Are you not afraid that I will tell others that the soul of a master of the Three Realms of Heaven and Man is hiding here?" Fang Jie said without any worry, getting up and wanting to leave.

After all, Zhao Jia softened, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't leave in a hurry. I have lived for more than 200 years anyway, and I have collected a lot of various martial arts. If you are willing to take me away, I will give you a spiritual treasure." You don’t need to hold the Wuxing natal martial arts that are at the peak of the upper level and are only one step away from the holy grade, so that’s all right?”

Fang Jie continued to walk, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Where are the utensils you are hiding?"

That Zhao Jia said pleasantly: "It's in the hands of this kid! Come quickly!"

Fang Jie immediately looked at Hong Cheng.He found that this person was standing in a corner, holding a book in one hand and a lamp in the other, reading the preface to the exercise book by the light.Can't help asking: "Is it a book or a lamp?"

"It's a lamp! This is the most inconspicuous thing to illuminate people here. It took me a lot of effort to successfully disguise it so that people can't see the flaws." Zhao Jia was eloquent.

Fang Jie, who was walking past, automatically filtered the second half of the words, came to Hong Cheng's side, waited for Hong Cheng to raise his head in surprise, then raised the book of mid-level martial arts that he had chosen before, shook it, and smiled apologetically Said: "Brother Hong, can you lend me this lamp first?"

"Of course, I've finished reading anyway. Take it." Although Hong Cheng felt a little strange in his heart, he passed the lamp over with a smile, then closed the book in his hand, and put it in his arms.

After Fang Jie took it, he thanked him repeatedly, until Hong Chen turned to leave, he put the exercise in his hand back on the bookshelf, and at the same time, the light flashed in front of him, and the lamp was put into the storage ring.
