"Is there a treasure in Pei's house?"
As far as he knew, during the previous dynasty, after something happened to the Pei family, the Pei Mansion became a forbidden area. Not to mention being close to Pei Mansion, even the word "Pei Mansion" is kept secret.
There has always been a legend in the capital that Pei Mansion is haunted. At that time, Pei's family was wronged and their entire family was executed, and blood flowed like a river. After their death, the resentment in Pei's mansion was soaring. I heard that at midnight, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling would be heard in Pei's mansion, which was very scary.
In the previous dynasty, some people wanted to live in Pei's Mansion, but because the evil spirit was too strong, accidents happened to the people who lived there one after another. It was useless even if they asked eminent monks to help. Since then, no one has dared to approach Pei's Mansion.
At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the late emperor felt it was a pity to see that the Pei Mansion was in ruins. He planned to ask people to repair it and then reward it to his subordinates. However, during the repairs, someone fell from the roof and died on the spot. Various evil legends about Pei Mansion spread again in the capital, so the late emperor gave up the idea of repairing Pei Mansion and let it continue to be abandoned.
"Lai Wang, have you heard about the treasure in Pei's house?" Lai Wang and the other dogs used to be stray dogs, and they lived in Pei's house. Pei Mansion is an evil place for people, but it is a good place for stray cats and dogs.
【Never heard of it. ] Lai Wang said, [We didn't find any treasures in Pei Mansion. 】
"If there is no treasure, why would anyone approach Pei's Mansion?" Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "Pei's Mansion is a haunted and evil place. No one dares to approach it even during the day, not to mention at night."
[Yao Yao, don’t worry, your brothers will help you keep an eye on the Pei Mansion and never let anyone else get into the Pei Mansion. 】
"You should also pay attention to safety and don't get hurt by those people." Zhao Yao was not worried about those people entering Pei's Mansion, nor was he worried about those people discovering the secret passage from Pei's Mansion to Leng Palace.
This secret passage is very secret and difficult for ordinary people to find. He only discovered it because he came to enrich them.
After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he took Laiwang and the others to train together.
Lai Wang, they have become more proficient in training today and can climb the slope smoothly.
Zhao Yao trained in the secret base for a while. He didn't wait for them to come, but he waited for them to come.
Laixi, they are magpies, and they often come to the palace to look for Zhao Yao.
"Laixi, have any of you magpies been to Yangzhou?" Zhao Yao asked, "Or, do you know the magpies in Yangzhou?"
Laixi said: [I know a sister who flew here from the south, but I don’t know if it’s Yangzhou. 】
Zhao Yao said in surprise: "That's probably Yangzhou. Is your sister still in the capital?"
Laixi said: [It should still be in the capital, Yaoyao, do you have anything to do with it? 】
Zhao Yao said hurriedly: "I want to ask your sister about Yangzhou. Laixi, can you bring it to me?"
[Then Yaoyao, you have to wait a few days. ] Laixi said, [I have to find it first. 】
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Zhao Yao felt that he was lucky and finally waited for a bird flying from Yangzhou.
After being intimate with Laixi for a while, Zhao Yao left Leng Palace and returned to Kunde Hall.
Liang Zhaoyi was sitting in front of the window reading a book. When she saw Zhao Yao coming back, she smiled gently at him and then asked with concern: "How is their training in Laiwang?"
"The training is pretty good." Zhao Yao said and noticed the book in Liang Zhaoyi's hand, called "Four Seasons of the Year".
Liang Zhaoyi saw that her son had been staring at the book in her hand with a thoughtful expression, so she asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the book in the mother's hand?"
Zhao Yao took back his thoughts from the book in Liang Zhaoyi's hand and asked his mother and concubine: "Mother and concubine, do you have any secrets in the Pei family?"
Liang Zhaoyi was startled when she heard her son's question. She then put down the book in her hand, looked at her son in confusion and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"Laiwang said that there were several people wandering around Pei's Mansion last night. Pei's Mansion is the most evil place in the capital. No one dares to approach it on weekdays. Now someone is approaching. Isn't it too strange?" Zhao Yao continued, "I I asked Laiwang them. There is no treasure in the Pei Mansion, so it can only be a secret. Concubine, have you discovered any secrets after reading so many books about Concubine Pei? "
The book "Four Seasons" that Liang Zhaoyi just read was left behind by Concubine Pei. When Concubine Pei was sent to the cold palace, she brought many books to the cold palace. Later, Concubine Pei died, and her books were left in the cold palace.
When Zhao Yao was exploring the cold palace, the first thing he found was this pile of books. Liang Zhaoyi likes to read books. Zhao Yao moved all the books in the cold palace to her.
When Concubine Pei was alive, she was a famous and talented woman in the previous dynasty. All of her books are good books, and there are many unique copies.
Liang Zhaoyi thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said, "I didn't find any secrets."
"That's weird."
Liang Zhaoyi thought for a while and said: "During this period, I will carefully read the books left by Concubine Pei to see if there are any clues."
"Concubine, let's forget it." Zhao Yao said, "Whether or not the Pei Mansion has any secrets is none of our business. If there really are secrets and we know about them, it will not be good and there may be danger." The Pei Mansion was captured that year. The whole family was executed. Apart from Concubine Pei being favored and jealous, there must be other reasons. "It might involve the secrets of the previous dynasty. This is not a good thing. We'd better not delve into it."
Liang Zhaoyi felt that what Zhao Yao said was right, so she nodded and said, "Forget it."
"Mother, it's getting late, I should go to the racecourse." This afternoon, practicing horse riding was his favorite course.
"Change your clothes first." Liang Zhaoyi warned, "Be careful when riding a horse, don't fall."
"Concubine, how could I fall?" Zhao Yao said proudly, "I am a master of horse riding."
"Yes, yes, you are a master of horse riding." Liang Zhaoyi laughed and said, "Masters, don't get carried away, you still have to pay attention when riding a horse."
"I will pay attention." Zhao Yao waved to Liang Zhaoyi, "Concubine, I'm going to change clothes."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yao returned to his room and changed into riding clothes. Then, we headed to the racecourse with Tongxi.
In the north courtyard of the palace, there is a horse farm. On weekdays, the Forbidden Army practices their riding skills here. Sometimes, Emperor Wu of Zhou would come here to ride horses.
On the way to the racecourse, I met the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince was specifically waiting for Zhao Yao halfway. As soon as I saw him, I handed him the bad letter.
"Today, the East Palace's lunch has the dish of goosefoot duck. I specially asked the prince for this dish. It's still hot. You can eat it while it's hot."
"Bago, you asked me specifically for this."
"Isn't this your favorite dish?"
Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly: "Well, I love it most, thank you Bage." He said with gratitude on his face, "Bago, you are the best."
Seeing the joyful look on Zhao Yao's face, the eighth prince unconsciously had a smile in his eyes: "Don't let the fourth brother notice you when you are eating, or you will be told by the fourth brother."
"Bago, I understand." Zhao Yao said, eagerly taking out one and eating it.
"How about it? Does it suit your taste?"
Zhao Yao nodded vigorously and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious."
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Bago, you go to the East Palace for lunch every day. Do you always eat delicious food?"
"Brother Prince is frugal, so not every meal is very sumptuous. However, every dish in the East Palace is very delicious."
When the eighth prince finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him with envy on his face.
"Bago, you eat delicious food every day. You are so happy." He also wanted to go to the East Palace for dinner.
"I don't go to the East Palace to eat delicious food."
"Bago, you are stupid. Since there is delicious food in the East Palace, you must eat more." Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "If you don't eat, you will get nothing."
The Eighth Prince reached out and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, and said helplessly and dotingly: "You just know how to eat."
"A man will be punished by heaven and earth for his words." Zhao Yao said confidently.
The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm right. After all, food is the most important thing for the people." Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Isn't the purpose of life in this world just to eat."
"Okay, keep eating."
"Bago, do you want to eat it?" Zhao Yao took out one and handed it to the eighth prince.
"I've eaten it. You taste good."
Zhao Yao was not polite when he heard this and continued to eat happily.
Seeing Zhao Yao eating with gusto, the Eighth Prince actually became a little greedy. Every time I watch my tenth brother eat something, it smells particularly delicious. At the same time, I feel very satisfied, as if nothing is important and nothing is important to happiness.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the racecourse, Zhao Yao put away the bad goosefoot duck letter and handed it to Tongxi, asking Tongxi to keep it and eat it after school.
By the time Zhao Yao and the others arrived at the racecourse, the third and fourth princes had already arrived.
At this moment, the third prince and the others were gathered in front of a horse.
This horse is red all over, without a trace of hair, and it runs like a ball of flame, so it is called Fiery. It was the beloved horse of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty. He had been accompanying Emperor Zhou Wu on the battlefield and saved Emperor Zhou Wu from danger countless times.
It has a very strong temper. Except for Emperor Wu of Zhou, Liehuo didn't let anyone ride it, nor let anyone get close to touch it.
The third prince and the others stood far away, not daring to get close to the fire, otherwise they would be snorted unceremoniously by the fire, and they might even be kicked by it.
