At dawn, the sun's brilliance could reach the horizon. Li Maozhen, covered in a black robe, rushed out of the city gate of Fengxiang Mansion on a horse in perfect condition, and drove away in a hurry.
Although Li Maozhen pretended to be mysterious and looked like he was not a good person at first glance. He was very likely to be a fugitive or a thief, but the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to stop him because Li Maozhen held the warrant of King Qi in his hand. Respectfully send Li Maozhen out of the city.
It was still early at this time, and the city gate was opened half an hour early because of Li Maozhen. There were not many people on the street, but there were many people waiting to enter the city gathered outside the city.
With wars all year round, the common people were already used to this kind of rushing out of the gate. They didn't pay much attention to Li Maozhen's departure. On the contrary, because the city gate was opened half an hour early, everyone was smiling.
Entering the city half an hour earlier not only means waiting half an hour less outside the city, it means that people who go to the city to make a living can grab good stalls and find better jobs, and buyers can also You can go home earlier. In short, for those of them who are rushing to wait outside the city early, entering the city half an hour early will definitely bring a lot of benefits.
However, for the soldiers guarding the city gate, they lost half an hour of rest time, which would cause some complaints among them.
Curses such as "I'm in a hurry to be reincarnated", "My mother is gone", etc. are inevitable.
Of course, these curses can only be shouted in the heart, but they would not dare to say them out loud.
After all, he was the one who could get King Qi's order. Even if he was not a big shot, he was at least someone who worked for King Qi. They were the little soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were insignificant people who could not be offended.
Although the person has gone far away, if their words still accidentally reach that person's ears, wouldn't that be a disaster that comes for nothing?
No one mentioned it, Li Maozhen's hasty departure did not cause any waves, and everything in Fengxiang ran as normal.
The empress watched Li Maozhen leave from a hidden tower, with thoughts and emotions in her heart.
Returning to the Hanging Pavilion of Huanyinfang, I drew the appearance of the clay sculpture again with the help of my memory, but this time I used a serious brush and also painted it on good drawing paper. I used my inner strength to write it on the scroll. , the ink was dried, and the empress summoned Duo Wentian, who was always waiting at her side. She handed the portrait and the opened Longquan treasure box to Duo Wentian, and asked him to send it to Jiang Yunqing.
Duo Wentian took the order, exited the Hanging Pavilion with his things, and rushed towards the outermost courtyard of Huanyin Square, where "Li Xingyun" was temporarily placed.
The empress raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples, her beautiful eyes showing exhaustion.
It's not because of staying up late. With the empress's current skills, staying up for two or three nights is not a problem. It's because of the tiredness from the inside out, and the body also seems a little tired.
Looking at the remaining ink in the fine Feilong Green Inkstone, the empress couldn't help but turn her eyes slightly and landed on an unfolded baggage beside the desk. Most of it contained pen and ink, and the only inkstone among them had been taken out. It is the Flying Dragon Green Inkstone that the Empress is currently using.
This baggage was discovered in the palace more than three months ago. She thought it was a surprise that Jiang Yunqing had secretly hidden for her. Even when she found it, she pretended not to know, waiting for Jiang Yunqing to arrange a surprise for her.
Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid this baggage was not a surprise prepared by Jiang Yunqing for her, but a gift brought back to her by her brother Wang.
"Sneaking around and avoiding me when you come back. Is that location really so attractive?"
The empress pouted and murmured softly to herself.
Immediately, he picked up the brush again...
It was a very low-key courtyard without even a plaque. Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling, who were guarding the door, saw Duo Wentian arriving. They did not stop or say too much, so they opened the door of the courtyard readily and welcomed Duo Wentian. Put it in.
After working for Jiang Yunqing for so long, the time spent in Huanyin Workshop is not short. Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling naturally know that Duo Wentian is the holy concubine accompanying the empress. When Tian leaves the Empress' side, he is usually doing errands or delivering messages for the Empress.
Although the two of them were working for Jiang Yunqing, due to the close relationship between Jiang Yunqing and the Empress and the fact that they were currently in the Huanyin Workshop, they naturally did not dare to stop the Empress' spokesperson.
Duo Wentian also nodded politely towards the two of them. When these two were still black and white in the Xuanming Sect, Duo Wentian looked down on the brother and sister to some extent.
But now, the brother and sister have become the subordinates of the male owner of Huanyinfang, and they can be regarded as colleagues, so they should be given some face.
Seeing Duo Wentian arriving, Jiang Yunqing smiled and said, "It seems there is a result!"
When Duo Wentian heard the sound, he found Jiang Yunqing and "Li Xingyun" who were sitting in the courtyard. His eyes just lightly glanced at "Li Xingyun". Without taking another look, he settled on Jiang Yunqing, and then moved straight towards Jiang Yunqing. Come.
Arriving in front of Jiang Yunqing, Duo Wentian bowed respectfully, and then handed the clay sculpture portrait and the opened Longquan treasure box to Jiang Yunqing. After relaying the empress' words clearly, Duo Wentian did not stay too long. , turned around and left the small courtyard, heading straight to the empress's palace.
Come in a hurry, leave in a hurry.
Her main task now is to serve the empress, so she naturally has to be by her side at all times.
Jiang Yunqing unfolded his spiritual consciousness and scanned the opened Longquan Treasure Box. At this time, the Longquan Treasure Box no longer had any restrictions that hindered his spiritual consciousness. It was like a girl who had taken off her clothes, completely exposed inside and out.
There are no extra clues on the Longquan treasure box that has lost its magic.
Putting the Longquan treasure box aside casually, Jiang Yunqing immediately opened the portrait, which showed a young man with a pot head. The clothes were a bit blurry, and he couldn't tell where the clothes were. He could only tell that they were different from the clothes of the Central Plains. I think this is exactly what the empress wanted to express.
Jiang Yunqing took a look at it, wrote down the portrait, and handed it to "Li Xingyun": "Shu and this portrait should be the only clues in the Longquan treasure box."
"Um!"
"Li Xingyun" nodded and responded softly.
"Now that the clues have come, you can get ready to leave. Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling can help you!"
Jiang Yunqing pointed to the door of the courtyard and said that the skills of Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling have been pushed to the top by him. They can keep an eye on "Li Xingyun" and cope with the changes on the way to find the Longquan treasure. There is no problem anymore.
"good!"
"Li Xingyun" speaks very little, and even tends to be taciturn, as if he is suppressing something deep in his heart.
But this doesn't matter to Jiang Yunqing, he is just a tool man.
No, it doesn't matter. The worst thing is to let people find it first. It won't hurt to open it when Li Xingyun has time!
By keeping "Li Xingyun", Jiang Yunqing mainly wanted to cause trouble for Yuan Tiangang. After all, he had done everything for Yuan Tiangang, so he couldn't let Yuan Tiangang be too idle, right?
