Seeing that the two of them really didn't know anything, Zhong Qingye asked Hei Yi to help deal with these two unlucky men. He sat in front of the table and flipped the two small bamboo tubes up and down.【】
Black Eagle also remembered these two gadgets, and quickly dealt with them and rushed back. Zhong Qingye raised his head and glanced at him. "Did you finish it?"
Black Eagle nodded, patted the snow flakes on his shoulders, walked to the stove and stretched out his hand to warm himself up. "According to your instructions, people treated their wounds, bought clothes, prepared dry food, and gave them a lot of money.
, I ordered him to be sent back to Cihai Town. There is no difficulty at all. You can rest assured."
"What do you mean I feel at ease? It's obvious that you have wronged others and tortured them like that. Don't you deserve some compensation?" Zhong Qingye turned over the small bamboo tube in his hand and said without raising his head.
Black Eagle shrugged his shoulders, with a look of guilt on his face. "How can you blame us? Who is Qi Mu who always comes up with such inexplicable things? He threatened a few common people and ran over. How can we not suspect that they are a trickster?
?”
Zhong Qingye said nothing, but took off a hairpin from his head and fiddled with the sealing wax on the bamboo tube. Black Eagle also came over, sat down next to her, reached for another bamboo tube, and looked at it up and down. "This
What exactly is it? Why would Qi Mu go out of his way to give it to you in this way?"
Zhong Qingye shook his head, put down the hairpin, and put one end of the bamboo tube on the already lit candle flame to bake. "I don't know, but you'll understand when you open it."
"That's right." Black Eagle also took another bamboo tube in his hand and put it on the fire to bake. The wax melted when it was heated, and the seal was quickly opened.
Zhong Qingye knocked the empty end of the bamboo tube on the table, and a neatly rolled piece of paper slipped out. She glanced at Black Eagle, who was also looking towards her, pulling out a scroll from the bamboo tube in his hand.
Here comes the note.
"The three people Qi Mu arranged to come here each brought the same thing with them, so that if something unexpected happens, one of them might be able to survive and bring the thing to me." Zhong Qingye said, reaching out and holding the note.
I took it out and opened it, and I was stunned for a moment.
What's on the note is simple and clear at a glance, it's just one sentence written in black pen.
"Thirty miles from the south gate of the imperial palace, you will find Qianhe Pond and Qianhe Island."
"What does this mean?" Black Eagle turned to her in confusion. Zhong Qingye turned around and saw the same words written on the note in his hand as hers.
She shook her head and unfolded the note to him. "Have you heard of Qianhe Island again?"
Black Eagle thought about it carefully and rubbed his head in embarrassment. "I have been to too many places in the past few years, and I can't remember them all. It seems... there is such a place."
Zhong Qingye frowned and thought for a moment, then moved her slender white fingers on the paper consciously, when her fingertips suddenly touched something, her heart moved, she raised her head and said: "Didn't you say that a prisoner froze to death last night?
?You go look for his body, maybe there is something hidden in his hair."
Black Eagle thought for a while, nodded, stood up and suddenly said: "But, what are we doing looking for this? Do you know what Qi Mu wants to do?"
Zhong Qingye smiled bitterly. "I'm just looking for it because I don't know. God knows if Qi Mu will put other things on that person." She shook the note in her hand, "The meaning of this thing is unclear, so I'd better take it all back.
It’s good.”
Black Eagle understood what she meant, turned around and left the room without saying anything.
The door closed, Zhong Qingye waited for a while, stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside. I don't know when the snow started to fall again. It was as light and soft as goose feathers. Each piece was the size of half a hand, and the whole world was covered with snow.
It is snow-white and there are no traces of human movement.
She closed the door, locked the latch, and took the two pieces of paper on the table to the desk. There were various sizes of brushes and inkstones neatly placed on the desk. Zhong Qingye looked calm and put the two pieces of white paper on the desk.
I flattened the stone, picked the largest brush, filled it with ink, and applied it neatly on the flattened paper.
The white paper was suddenly blackened by ink, and Zhong Qingye painted it over and over again. Sure enough, when he was applying the second coat, a row of small, light silver characters appeared strangely on the paper.
Zhong Qingye's heart moved, and she secretly thought that it was indeed the case. When she just took the paper in her hand and moved it consciously, she accidentally discovered that some places on the paper were slightly convex, which made her immediately think of a concealment method of writing messages with wax.
Paraffin is a water-insoluble and hydrophobic substance. After writing on the paper with soap or candle, then soak the paper in water. The color of other parts will change after absorbing water, but the part with paraffin will not absorb water and the color will not change. That's it.
The word appears
If you apply ink on the paper, the effect will be more obvious, as Zhong Qingye is doing now.
After finishing painting, there were three more rows of small words on the paper. The fonts were still clear. Zhong Qingye did it quickly and painted another piece of paper in the same way. The hidden information on the paper was exactly the same as the previous one. She could probably guess
It's the same information on the third piece of paper.
Zhong Qingye put the two pieces of paper stained black with ink into the stove, and after they were all burned, he went back to the house, changed into a large light blue cloak in Bai Huli, put on a white manuscript, and hurried out of the door.
The snow was falling heavily, and the snow wind was blowing. The coolness blew on his body. Zhong Qingye couldn't help coughing in a low voice. He put on his hood and walked quickly towards the gate of the small building. It was snowing heavily at the moment, but there was no one there.
to her.
After exiting the small building, she simply determined the direction and walked straight forward.
After she left for about an hour, Black Eagle came back and brought back the small bamboo tube from the third person. He hurried to her room, but unexpectedly missed it.
Black Eagle raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, and soon a secret whistler dressed in black jumped out from nowhere and informed him of Zhong Qingye's whereabouts.
Upon hearing this, Black Eagle took out the note from the bamboo tube in his hand without saying a word. He still said the same thing as before. He frowned, cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly chased Zhong Qingye in the direction he left.
There must be other information hidden in the two pieces of paper before. He didn't find it but Zhong Qingye found out about it. Then he left him so that he could check the information alone. Thinking that it was Qi Mu who specially sent it to Zhong Qingye, Black
There was an unspeakable uneasiness in Ying's heart, and his steps quickened.
