The dawn of the morning always makes people feel hope, but in the dawn of the morning, Qi Ning is only shocked at this moment.

There was no difference between the two golden-wire Bodhi trees in the backyard, just like twins, but at this moment, the two big trees were already very different. One was as lush as ever, while the other was like after a night of snow, the whole big tree condensed into frost, and the white frost covered the entire golden-wire Bodhi tree, wrapped in silver.

There were many strange facts that Qi Ning had seen, but the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.

If there was a frost last night, all the trees should have condensed into frost, but there were many trees in the garden, only the only one covered in silver.

Qi Ning was surprised and thought of something in an instant. She flipped out from the back window, ran to the tree, took out the cold blade, found the place where the box was buried, and dug it with the cold blade. This piece of soil had just moved last night. It should have been very soft, but it was very hard at this moment. It seemed that it was frozen soil in winter, frozen by the cold ice. If it weren't for the cold blade cutting iron like mud, it would be really difficult to dig it out.

After taking out the box, Qi Ning opened it and found that a thick layer of ice had formed in the box. After opening it, a biting cold air came to his face. Qi Ning couldn't help but shivered and poked the white clam with a cold blade. The white clam was not moving. Qi Ning frowned and tried it several times. The white clam had no reaction. He knew that after this night, the white clam had actually died.

He knew that although this white clam had a strong vitality, it must be preserved properly, and there must be strange ways to ensure that he survived. After stealing the white clam from Gong Zhaxi, he didn't know how to maintain it, but the white clam also died in his own hands.

It was still early at this time and there was no one around. Qi Ning gently pried open the clam shell with a cold blade. The clam was frosty and cold, and the pearl was still bright and bright.

This small bead can actually make a golden bodhi tree covered with frost overnight. It is really amazing. Qi Ning knew that this bead was probably much more magical than he had imagined. It could be said to be a rare treasure. He reached out to take out the pearl from it, and the hands were cold. Qi Ning hurriedly took a cloth towel from his body and wrapped it around. He felt cold and felt it was not delayed at this time. He buried the white clam shell and the box again, and then took the bead back into the house.

As soon as I returned to the house, Qi Feng's voice came from outside: "Mr. Marquis, a messenger has come from the palace. Let us go to the Tiandi Pavilion to meet at any time."

Qi Ning didn't know where the Tiandi Pavilion was. The beads in his hand were as cold as before, and said, "I know." He thought of something and said, "You go find a box, the more ordinary the better."

Qi Feng agreed to go, and then Qi Ning put the beads on the table and stared at the beads wrapped in cloth towels. Only then did he realize that in a hurry, he wrapped the pearls in the fragrant parfait given by Gu Qinghan.

This bead is cold and harsh. Although it can be kept in your arms, it is so cold. If you carry the beads on your body, you will wait. If you are in the cold winter all day long, you may not be sure when you will be frostbite by the beads. You can only find a place to collect it. However, the inn is a territory of Dongqi people and is not safe no matter where you place it.

Qi Ning knew that even if it was not priceless, it would be extremely expensive. She couldn't think of any purpose at the moment, but it would never hurt to keep it.

He thought in his heart that Qi Feng was doing things quickly. Not long after, he was already in the heretic: "Mr. Marquis, take the box."

Qi Ning went over and opened the door. Qi Feng came in with a small box. The box was very ordinary. Qi Ning didn't talk nonsense. She walked to the table and opened the box. There was a brocade cloth pad in the box. He took out the ice beads from Xiangpane, put them in the box, closed them quickly, put them away, put them away, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the box to Qi Feng, and whispered: "This pearl was presented to the Prime Minister of Dongqi last night. I asked me to hand it over to Mr. Zhuo. Please help me hold it, and you must not have any accidents. If it is lost, you can pay the head."

Although Qi Feng is his confidant, it is better not to let him know some things.

Qi Feng knew the origin of the Eastern Qi Prime Minister Ling Hu Xu and Zhuo Qingyang. Ling Hu Xu entrusted Qi Ning to bring a pearl to Zhuo Qingyang. It was not rare. He put it away and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, I will keep it properly."

"Don't let others know about this." Qi Ning whispered: "Although Prime Minister Linghu and Mr. Zhuo are brothers, they are not from the same country after all. I will help them pass on things. If someone knows about it, maybe people with ulterior motives will slander me for being foreign."

Qi Feng smiled and said, "The little one won't let anyone know, and God will not know it."

Qi Ning then breathed a sigh of relief. The bead was carried on him. He was in Dongqi and was in the eyes of everyone. It was not safe. He was thrown on Qi Feng. He was just a servant beside him. Naturally, outsiders' eyes would not be staring at Qi Feng, which would be safer.

It was quite a long way from Dongqi Inn to the palace. The Dongqi Palace sent a messenger to welcome him. Qi Ning did not delay and ordered his subordinates to prepare and bring gifts. Then he went out. The carriage had been prepared outside the inn, but the people from the Northern Han delegation were not seen. Qi Ning was surprised that Wu Dalin had approached and whispered: "Marty, Beitang Feng had just returned before dawn. He went out last night for the middle of the night. The Prince Yu was furious and had been waiting in front of the inn. After Beitang Feng came back, he was taken back by Prince Yu."

"Beitang Feng was not in the inn last night?" Qi Ning frowned.

Wu Dalin said: "Last night, Beitangfeng did not come back to the inn. Prince Yu sent people to search everywhere, but he didn't find it. I don't know where to go fooling around. When I came back just now, I was depressed and had no energy. Humph, this kid knew that he would enter the palace today, but he still dared to do so. Prince Yu was angry that he would not fight."

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "If you say this, they can't leave for a while. No matter what they are, let's go first."

The Heaven and Earth Pavilion is not the main hall of the Dongqi Imperial Palace. It is located on the south side of the Dongqi Imperial City. Entering from the south gate, passing through two palace walls, walking along a white marble avenue, and then passing through a stone arch bridge. Not far away is the Heaven and Earth Pavilion. Looking from afar, the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is magnificent and the decoration is extremely gorgeous.

Since we want to meet the envoys of other countries, the location chosen by the monarch of Dongqi will naturally not be too shabby.

In fact, Qi Ning had expected this. Although Dongqi was a small country in the eyes of Chu and Han countries, it was still domineering. Foreign envoys always showed their national prestige. Without the Tiandi Pavilion, they could already smell the fragrance of sandalwood, and they were refreshed. Under the guidance of the palace, they arrived at the Tiandi Pavilion. They were covered with gold, pink and white jade, pearls and treasures. Everything was made of gold, with jade as the surface, sandalwood as the basis, and pearls and jade as the decoration. All the decorations were magnificent and exquisite, which was dazzling.

Qi Ning even observed that even the guards of the Tiandi Pavilion seemed to have just been issued a new outfit, and the spears were also sharp and extremely powerful.

Qi Ning sighed in his heart that although Dongqi is young, its extravagance is even greater than that of Chu. He has entered and exited the Chu Palace many times, and he often enters and exits the imperial study of the little emperor Longtai. However, there seems to be no such luxury in the Chu Palace. In this Tiandi Pavilion, it seems that a brick is just enough to allow ordinary people to spend several lifetimes.

The Heaven and Earth Pavilion is divided into the main hall and the left and right side halls. The King of Dongqi has not yet summoned him. The Chu delegation was taken to the side hall and waited for the time being. The King of Dongqi wanted to summon the envoys of the two countries, so he naturally had to wait until the two countries' missions arrived. There was still some time before Si Shi, so he would naturally not summon him in advance.

It was explained in advance that the two missions could only have ten people entering the palace. Before entering the palace, Qi Ning had handed the gift to officials of the Eastern Qi Literary Department to check. If the gifts were prepared for Linghu Xu, they would be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone. In addition to Wu Dalin and Qi Feng, seven other members of the Chu mission also entered the palace. However, when entering the palace, all the weapons were handed over. Only Qi Ning had a cold blade and hid them tightly. The guards did not dare to be too rude to Qi Ning and brought them in.

Everyone was waiting in the side hall, and Qi Ning closed his eyes to rest. Although Linghu Xu had heard the news last night and informed the current situation that was extremely beneficial to the State of Chu, Qi Ning would naturally not take it lightly until the emperor of Dongqi issued an edict.

After waiting for less than half an hour, he saw two eunuchs coming in. He did not issue an imperial edict, but just an oral order. When he saw Qi Ning stand up, he proclaimed: "The emperor has an order. Qi Ning, the envoy of the State of Chu, will meet him, I will be honored!"

Qi Ning and Wu Dalin looked at each other, bowed their hands, and followed the eunuch to the main hall of the Tiandi Pavilion and entered the main hall. They saw that the cavalry would not seem crowded when charging in the hall. Qi Ning looked up and saw a person sitting high above, wearing a golden crown, bright beads emitted a soft light, and their clothes were carrying the sun and the moon on their shoulders. Even if they were carrying stars, Qi Ning could not see it for a while.

The light in the hall was very sufficient, enough to see the scene in the Tiandi Pavilion. While walking forward with the eunuch, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw the civil and military officials of the East Qi who were arching their bodies slightly, looking extremely respectful. After walking a while, he found a pool in front of him, which was filled with clear water, and there were copper-cast crane turtles in it. The pool was not big, but it blocked the road ahead.

Qi Ning stopped then, and Wu Dalin and others followed behind him. Qi Ning knew that the person above must be the king of Dongqi, so he bowed slightly and said, "Qi Ning, the envoy of Chu, please see His Majesty the Emperor of Qi!" But he did not kneel down.

"Are you a member of Jinyi Qi's family?" A weak voice came from above. If the hall was not empty and Qi Ning had excellent ears, it would be difficult to hear it. Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking that this person was weak in energy, obviously because of his extreme energy. He was far away before, and only saw the King of Dongqi's golden crown and jade robe. At this time, he looked up and saw it very clearly that the King of Dongqi looked old and looked sixty or seventy years old.
