"That's right, you are still smart as a money-minded spy." Yan Ruocheng patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"No!" Silver Shadow disagreed.
"Why not?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"I asked Shenhuang to write a letter, not just to tell him that I tore up the letter. I just don't want him to be played with like a monkey." Yinying explained unhappily.
"The Supreme Emperor himself said that there is no problem. Why do you, Lady Yinfei, want to mess things up at this time?" Yan Ruocheng was even more displeased and retorted.
This servant wanted to take advantage of their quarrel and escape quietly.
"If you dare to take one step, even your legs will be broken!" Silver Shadow said fiercely.
Yan Ruocheng took a deep breath and felt that the internal strife was of no use now. He calmed down and said, "Empress Yinfei, you can do whatever you want? I will also use my own methods to save Fengmo!" After that, he left.
Go out and close the door.
Although I say so, I have no idea in my heart. I don’t know where to start. Now I can’t even use it to inquire about information.
She sullenly walked to Yunxi's door and squatted down.
Yun Xi heard her angry voice coming from outside the door. He was annoyed and kicked her out as soon as he opened the door.
"How long are you going to sit in front of my room and sigh and complain?" Yun Xi said, crossing his arms.
Yan Ruocheng lay on the ground like a salted fish, and said lifelessly: "I want to find a solution for you, but I guess you must be annoyed. What can I do if I don't sigh and complain."
"Yunxi, just let her lie down. It's amazing that her Highness can be saved like this." Xian Jianlu said, followed by Na Xiao, An Ga, Lan Lan, and Han Yida.
"Ruo Li, what are you doing? Get up." Na Xiao helped her up.
Yan Ruocheng looked at the people who came and asked, "Are you here to help?"
An Ga nodded and said to her with concern: "Yes. It was Na Xiao who asked us to come and help you. Huang Fengmo was injured so seriously and was kidnapped. You must be very worried."
Lan Lan, who was standing next to him, suddenly stepped on the top of his boot and clasped her head in displeasure.
Anka chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
Xian Jianlu clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please go inside and discuss it slowly."
Under his leadership, everyone walked towards Yunxi's room.
Yunxi said sullenly: "Why do you have to come to my room to discuss!"
in the room.
Xian Jianlan brought a map of the city and spread it out on the wooden table.
"Now that the city gate is closed, Huang Fengmo may be locked up somewhere in the city." Xian Jianlu said nonsense.
Yun Xi nodded and said, "Senior brother, are you talking nonsense?"
Na Xiao pointed to the shops on the map and said analytically: "They are not useless. These large grain and rice shops and salt shops have basements. If they are from the royal family, they are very likely to have colluded with these businessmen.
."
Anka translated their words to Lanlan and Hanyida.
Lanlan said: "My father is very familiar with these shop owners. As the patriarch's daughter, I can help you get information."
Anga translated her tribal language.
Yun Xi said: "This is easy to handle. Divide into several groups and go to these stores to explore and test the bosses. If you find any clues, you will gather and take action immediately."
Xian Jianlan said: "That's true, but we still need to wait for someone to come back."
"Hey! Are you talking about me?" Huan flew in from the window.
"I sent people to check the inn and the city gate registration. Nothing was found. The person who can cover up so much information is probably someone with imperial power. But it is definitely not the Second Emperor. He himself went to Beihai.
." Huan told the news from the investigation.
Yan Ruocheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the Sixth Emperor? He did strange things before."
Huan shook his head and said: "No, the Sixth Emperor, the Third Emperor and the Fifth Emperor are negotiating in the Jade Kingdom. As for whether the Third Prince of Bailing City sent someone to capture the eldest prince, it is also possible."
Anga directly denied it and said: "Absolutely not! He would do such a thing."
Yun Xi asked curiously: "You are so sure, what does it have to do with him? Why should I believe you?"
Yan Ruozhen patted the table and said, "Okay, don't discuss irrelevant matters. I believe what An Ga said. If he says it's not, then it's not."
Yun Xi said boringly: "Since you don't make your own decisions, there is no point in discussing it like this. You can discuss it slowly. I won't join." After that, he opened the door and went out.
Xian Jianlan said: "Then let's divide ourselves into groups. Ruocheng and I will be in one group, Huan will be in one group with Naxiao, and the rest will also be in one group. There will be three groups in total."
Na Xiao disagreed and said, "No, I want to team up with Ruocheng. You can team up with him."
Huan also disagreed and said: "I don't want to be in the same group as him. Why don't we let Ruozhen choose who to go with? After thinking about it, I know that I should go with someone with strong martial arts skills."
Therefore, Xian Jian'an, Na Xiao, and Huan all stared at Yan Ruocheng, asking her to make a reasonable choice.
"I choose Brother Xian. You and Na Xiao, one has martial arts and the other is literary. If the two of them combine civility and martial arts, we will definitely be able to run things more smoothly. Brother Xian and I both know pharmacology. What we are looking for is a medicine store. This arrangement
It would be more reasonable." Yan Ruocheng said.
Huan and Na Xiao looked at each other and felt speechless.
In this way, three groups of people went out to search various stores.
"Brother Xian, if we look for him like this, will we be looking for a needle in a haystack?" Yan Ruocheng asked suddenly as he walked.
Xian Jianru touched her bald head and said, "No, I'm betting on your luck. Didn't I tell you before? You have a strong bond with the two princes, and you will be there no matter where you go.
They are tied together by fate. So just follow your intuition and find it."
Yan Ruocheng raised his forehead and said, "Brother Xian, I just realized now that you are quite superstitious about marriage."
Xian Jianlu snorted and said, "I'm still alone. If you don't believe it, then what do you believe? Hey, I don't want to emphasize this sentence anymore."
"Okay, I'll try my luck." Yan Ruocheng knelt down, took out Huang Fengmo from his body and gave it to her as a small jade pendant, and asked the jade pendant to spin in circles to indicate the direction.
Unexpectedly, before the circle was completed, the big foot of a strong man carrying rice crushed it.
"Go away, don't block the road."
Yan Ruozhen raised his head and stood up, and said angrily: "Are you blind? You didn't see my jade pendant on the ground."
"Girl, I'm from the street here. I didn't blame you for blocking the road and putting a concealed weapon on the ground in an attempt to touch porcelain. You still blame me for crushing your jade pendant." The strong man said reasonably.
Xian Jianlu stopped Yan Ruocheng, who was still trying to continue the argument, and persuaded him: "It's true that we didn't take the lead. If you want to do divination, you should find a place with few people to do it."
"You said you were looking for me based on my intuition again, and now you're stopping me. That's not right. This man is carrying rice. Maybe God gave me instructions." Yan Ruocheng thought about it with reflective thinking, and then said to the strong man.
: "Let's forget about this jade pendant. You are delivering rice. I would like to ask you where the rice shop is?"
The strong man thought she was like one of those swindlers in the city and didn't want to tell him. He said, "Why do I have to tell you? Do you want to go to my boss to complain? Go away! Don't stop me from delivering rice."
Yan Ruozhen quickly took out a one hundred tael note from his body, waved it at him and said, "What about this? I said this banknote is yours."
The strong man took the banknote and thought it was safe, so he lied and said, "Just turn left and walk two blocks ahead, and you'll see the one with the name Li Simi Pu."
Yan Ruozhen gave him the money without asking any questions. The strong man took the banknote and left quickly.
"I think you have become a lot more heroic after following Huang Fengmo. Aren't you afraid of him lying?" Xian Jianluo said.
"I haven't changed. I only gave him half of the banknote. If he didn't lie, he would naturally meet me and ask for the other half." Yan Ruocheng said slyly.
Xian Jian narrowed his eyes and said: "You have changed. If it were before, you would only use ten cents to attract people."
"Am I so stingy?"
"No, it's super stingy."
The two of them bickered and bickered while slowly arriving at this shop called Li Simi Shop.
This rice shop has a big floor, but what's strange is that they only buy the same kind of rice, which is Li Simi.
The two of them went in, and Yan Ruocheng asked curiously: "Boss, why are all the rice here called Li Simi?"
The boss ignored her and asked the waiter to greet them.
"My boss is going to do accounting. Let me introduce Li Simi in the store. Girl, you must be from out of town." The waiter came over and said eagerly.
"Yes, my brother and I just came here to visit relatives. The old man asked us to come here to buy rice, so we came to take a look." Yan Ruocheng said casually.
The waiter was a little surprised and asked: "How old is your elderly man?"
Xian Jianlan asked in confusion: "How old is the old man? Does it have anything to do with buying rice?"
The waiter scratched his head and said, "Maybe I didn't tell you that Li Simi is famous for its toughness, which makes it difficult to chew. However, the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes and the aftertaste is endless. There are very few elderly people who come to buy it, and most of them are young people."
Couples only buy it to practice teething for their children."
"This rice is so interesting. But I still don't understand why it's called Li Simi. It sounds quite sad." Yan Ruocheng hugged a little of the rice to look at it, and continued to ask.
"Li Simi must start from its origin. It is said that there was a prince who was under house arrest in a certain abandoned city. He lived a boring life every day. One day, a farmer who specially delivered rice to his house saw him.
He didn't smile all day long, so he taught him how to grow rice seedlings and let him know how to use labor in exchange for the joy of life. Gradually, the prince was guided by the farmers, and he also developed this new rice. He also changed the name." The waiter said slowly.
After Yan Ruozhen heard this, he felt that the prince's experience was the same as that of Huang Chenling. He had been under house arrest, and it was very likely that he had a grudge against the Supreme Emperor.
She and Xian Jianlan looked at each other and felt that this clue was somewhat reliable.
