Chapter 168 Chapter 168

The five elders looked at each other, they were very surprised and puzzled by Zhao Guan's actions.Bai Lan'er said: "Senior Sister Zhu, you are closest to the sect master, how can you persuade him not to take such a risk?"He was hit last night, and he was probably out of temper. Qing Zhu sighed, and said: He has the same temperament as his mother, once he has made up his mind, no matter how others persuade him, it will be useless.Xiao Meigui said: Although the sect master's idea is dangerous, it is possible to succeed.Besides, the sect master's martial arts and poisonous skills are very strong, so he won't be in danger so easily.Xiaoju said: Exactly.In order to find the murderer, the head of the sect is so determined, how can we not do our best to help?Zi Jiang said: Since everyone has this intention, someone among us must follow and help protect the sect master.All the girls nodded in agreement.

Zi Jiang said again: Although the old man is eager to follow the sect master, but in recent years he has suffered from rheumatism and his health is not as good as before.Which of you will go voluntarily, make up your mind quickly. Bai Lan'er said: Uncle Shi is old, so he should sit here.let me go!Xiao Meigui said: "Senior Sister Lan'er, I'm slightly better at martial arts, so you should let me go."Xiaoju said: "Gui Mei, you are young, it is not easy to pretend to be that bald old thief, let me do it!" Qingzhu stood up and said: Sister Laner, sister Rose, and sister Xiaoju are not good at dressing up, and they are easy to show flaws.This trip is very dangerous, revealing any flaws is a disaster of death.Among the sisters, I am the most easy-going, so I should follow the sect master.Rose, please lead the gatekeepers to guard outside the palace with Senior Sister Xiaoju. If the gatekeeper is in danger, I will set off fireworks and let you come to rescue immediately.Master Zi Jiang, please stay here and sit in town.Senior sister Lan'er, please contact our sect's undercover agents in the palace, tell them that the sect master will enter the palace, and ask them to provide protection in the palace.

All the girls nodded in agreement when they heard that she was reasonable and dealt with it properly.Qingzhu picked up the box containing Su Wuzhi's head and walked into the next room. Zhao Guan saw her coming in from the mirror, smiled and said: Sister Zhu, I knew you loved me the most, and you were willing to take risks with me.If it weren't for you, how could others pretend to be so lifelike without showing any traces? Qing Zhu sighed, and said: "A Guan, you are getting old, you make up your own mind, and you don't care what the other elders think, right?" Zhao Guan turned around and said: Sister Zhu, how could I not listen to what you said?You know I'm anxious to find out who killed my mother, even if I lose my life, I don't want to be kept in the dark by the thief!You will definitely support me, won't you?

Qing Zhu stared at him deeply, and said: A Guan, I know you are a good boy.Sit down beside him, fix the make-up on his face, and then make up yourself in the mirror. After they finished dressing up, they imitated and practiced the speaking tone of Nie and Su.Before leaving, Zhao Guan said that he wanted to go back to his room to get some things, so he told Ding Xiang to follow him, closed the door, took out a letter from his pocket, and said in a low voice: If you haven't heard from me for three days, it means something happened to me .You hand this letter to Zi Jiang and ask her to open it with Lan Er, Mei Mei and Xiao Ju.This matter is very important, you should carefully store this letter and do as I say.Ding Xiang saw his serious expression, nodded and accepted the letter, tremblingly said: Yes.Master, you will be fine, will you?

Zhao Guan lowered his head and said: I don't know. Ding Xiang's heart jumped, she had followed Zhao Guan through life and death, experienced all kinds of dangers, but she had never seen him so heavy, so uncertain.Her face turned pale, she stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said, "Young master is blessed with a long life, and he will surely live a long life."I am here waiting for you to come back! Zhao Guan smiled slightly, and said: Be good, Ding Xiang, the young master is gone.Turn around and leave the house, and leave with Qingzhu. The two decided to go straight to the palace, so they went all the way to the side door of the palace.When the guard at the gate saw the two of them, he bowed and saluted, and smiled apologetically, "Uncle Nie, Second Master Su, you are always back."

Zhao Guan nodded and said: Thanks to the Lord, I still have one life left!The guard wondered: Who dares to embarrass your uncle after eating the bear's heart and leopard's courage?Qing Zhu scolded in a rough voice: Damn it, don't mention it!I don't want to chop those bastards into meat sauce, my surname is not Su!She pretended that Su Wuzhe's voice and tone were very similar, and she really had no flaws. The guard dared not say any more, and respectfully invited the two of them in. Zhao Guan and Qing Zhu walked into the palace, neither of them knew the way, Zhao Guan said loudly: Second Master Su was injured, didn't you see it?Hurry up and help him back to his room!A little eunuch came up to help Qingzhu, Zhao Guan followed behind, and came to the residence of the resident guards.Both Nie Su and Nie Su were bodyguards in brocade clothes. They each had a single room, and there was a connecting living room in the middle, which was very spacious.

Zhao Guan and Qingzhu entered the room and closed the door. Zhao Guan didn't waste any time, and immediately started to search the drawers and cabinets in the room, turned out all the letters and objects, and spread them on the table.Qing Zhu went to search Su Wuzhe's room, and also found a bunch of letters.Zhao Guan read them one by one by candlelight, but saw that many letters were sent from the eunuch Hong Taiping, and the texts were full of greetings and greetings, which seemed to be very close.He frowned slightly, and said: Who is this Hong Taiping? Qingzhu pondered and said: "Look at the title on this letter, this person seems to be the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory under the Supervisor of Rites, and he has quite a lot of influence."It was not uncommon for the royal guards in brocade clothes to have a good relationship with the eunuch in power in Dongchang.Zhao Guandao: Maybe it's because it's so common that the chief envoy relies on this eunuch to deliver the message, so as not to make people suspicious.It is also possible that the master emissary was the eunuch.

At this moment, a person came to the door and said, "Uncle Nie, Second Master Su, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Mr. Lu, please." Zhao Guan and Qingzhu looked at each other, Zhao Guan said: Got it, I'll go in a while.Qing Zhu hurriedly stuffed the letters on the table into the cabinet, then he and Zhao Guan repaired each other's makeup, opened the door and walked out.A little eunuch was waiting outside the door to lead the way.The three of them walked out for quite a while, Zhao Guan never knew that the imperial palace was so powerful, he turned a few turns, passed through a few corridors and doors, and lost his way.He secretly memorized the way he came from, and when he turned his head and saw Qingzhu browsing around, he was obviously also memorizing it by heart.

The little eunuch led the two of them to a small hall, but saw a big man in brocade clothes sitting in the room, with a bearded face, about forty years old, with a rather heroic appearance.When the big man saw the two coming in, he hurriedly stood up to greet them, and said, "Brother Nie and Brother Su, I hope you two come back safely!"The older brother was worried.Then he asked the two to sit down and let the little eunuch serve tea. Zhao Guan thought to himself: This is most likely Commander Lu's envoy.He is very respectful to the two thieves, I still wait and see what happens.He took a sip of tea and didn't speak.Qingzhu let out a hey, and said in a rough voice: With those few little thieves, how could they hurt my brother?

Commander Lu smiled and said: Yes, yes.The two martial arts are superb, and they can always turn danger into safety without any damage to their hair. Zhao Guan asked: "The two of us were tampered with in Baiyun Temple, how did Commander Lu get the news?"Commander Lu said: This is easy.Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is everywhere in the capital, and when the two of them fell into a trick, someone came back immediately to report. Zhao Guan wanted to continue asking questions, Commander Lu said again: We sent people to the Yiqing Court last night to round up and kill a lot of rioters and rebels, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief for the two of you, haha, haha.

Zhao Guan thought: No one from Baihuamen was killed, this person is falsely claiming credit.He cupped his hands and said: Thank you, Commander Lu!My brother will definitely not forget the benefits of commanders in the future.As he spoke, he took out a thousand taels of silver note from his sleeve and pressed it under the tea bowl.Commander Lu didn't even dare to say, he stared at the banknote, grinning from ear to ear, and was about to reach out to take the banknote, but Zhao Guan stretched out his finger to press the tea bowl, and said: Commander Lu, you are looking for my brother. Come on, do you have any other orders? Commander Lu withdrew his hand, lowered his voice, and said seriously: I invite you two to come today, and I want to ask you, did you receive the Jinshen order yesterday?
