The sky and the earth outside the palace gate became brighter and brighter, and the rays of the ground were covered with redder, as red as if the ground was covered with blood. Even the dispersed mist was dyed into a blood-red color.
Such strange and strange scenes are not difficult to see in the underworld, but they are very ordinary.
The morning bell in Yuque Palace has been ringing for the second time. There are no more or less, just twenty-four sounds, which symbolize the twenty-four solar terms in a year.
The loud bell echoed, and the sound spread far and wide, spreading throughout the Yuque Palace and every corner of Yuque City.
With the sound of a loud bell, the ghost mother took out a round gold medal in pure gold and handed it to her daughter: "If you encounter a stolen official and evil ghost who ignores the lives and death of the ghost people, or who only seek personal gain and do whatever you want, as long as the evidence is conclusive
, You can exercise the power of life and death with this. You don’t have to report to the palace first.”
Xiao Fuling took the gold medal and saw a tiger-headed squid engraved at the top, showing a vivid and majestic tiger-headed squid in the middle of the front of the gold medal. A vigorous and powerful new word was engraved in the middle of the front of the gold medal.
The word "death" is engraved on the back.
"Life and Death Card?" Xiao Fuling was stunned in shock, and then looked up at the ghost mother's eyes and increased excitement instead of diminishing.
As the Changweng Lord of Jiuyou Kingdom and the governor of the country, Xiao Fuling naturally knew what the gold medal was in his hand. He also knew the function of this gold medal.
That is the life and death card of the Jiuyou Kingdom Punishment Department. If the ghost holding this card is sure and not forged, he can kill the criminal first and then report it. Whether the criminal is a prince or a noble or a commoner, he will not have to take it.
If the prisoner is sent to the yamen or the three ministries of the capital, the ghost holding this card can be sentencing himself and dealt with by himself.
Xiao Fuling never dreamed that she could hold this card for one day.
The ghost mother looked at her daughter's excited cheeks, raised her hand and patted her daughter's shoulder, and said softly: "Mother's wife believes that you can be fair and notarized, and you will be able to complete the inspection task well."
.
As the words came to the ground, the ghost mother's face also filled with pride and pride.
Although she had never said it and mentioned it, and had never been talking about it. But in her heart, she always believed that her life had been over a thousand years, and the most proud and proud thing was the happiest thing. One was that she met Xiao
The second is that they have such an outstanding daughter, Xiao Fuling.
"My daughter, I'm for you..." The ghost mother raised her mouth slightly, leaned over and lowered her head, whispered softly in her daughter's ear, and said slowly, "I feel for you"
I am proud of you too.”
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Fuling was stunned again. She never expected her mother to recognize her so much. She was still stunned. When she couldn't recover, ** had already straightened her waist and looked at the one who was about to travel far.
Every member of the team said loudly: "I hope you can return safely."
The ghosts nodded, and Lai Yueqi, with the help of the maid, boarded the carriage. The palace guards and other maids who accompanied him also rode on their respective beast soul mounts.
Xiao Fuling, who recovered from his senses, said solemnly to the ghost mother: "Mother, I will not disappoint you or embarrass you."
Then, with joy and joy, and his face was filled with pride and pride, he turned over and jumped into her, took the gold medal, took the lead in controlling the beast, and walked out of the palace gate.
Lai Yueqi, who lifted the curtains, also waved goodbye to the ghost mother, and followed her in a carriage under the escort of the guards.
The ghost mother walked slowly, followed the group of ghosts, walked straight to the entrance of the palace gate, and stopped. But she kept staring at the gradually moving team and heading east towards the morning sun.
Until the team soon disappeared into the rows of houses in the city far outside the palace and disappeared into the eyes of the ghost mother. But she still did not turn around and left, keeping watching the place where her daughter went.
"**, don't you think about it anymore? Is it too dangerous to ask the master to investigate the smuggling?" Lu Wu, behind him, finally couldn't help but say: "Although A San's information has not been missed, this
Next, he told his lord that there was a smuggling of rare metals outside the Jiuyou Kingdom, which must be accurate; but this is the most dangerous. Because of this, Niece Fuling's trip is probably a lot of trouble."
.
The ghost mother did not look back or talk to each other. She knew the dangers.
A San told Xiao Shizhu on Shuoyue Island that there was a rare metal on the Xiaofeng Plain and was secretly smuggled out by some ghosts. When it was sold at a high price, both Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu knew that to find out the matter, they had to deal with it.
risk.
Seeing that the ghost mother didn't say anything, Lu Wu was a little impatient, with anxiety in her eyes, and she said anxiously: "Those prisoners who are secretly smuggling rare metals must not be good at it. Your decision like this will only...
.....”.
"This is your elder brother's decision, not mine. The only thing I did was to catch up with the ghost doctor who could cure Mrs. Lai, who was also on Xiaofeng Plain, and simply sent Fuling to inspect the rare metals smuggled out of Xiaofeng Plain.
At the same time, she guarded Mrs. Lai to seek medical treatment. Is there anything wrong with this?" The ghost mother suddenly spoke and interrupted Lu Wu: "Besides, Xiao Fuling is no longer a child. She can protect herself and contribute to the country."
.
"The secret spies of Chachasi have not found out the clues. It's better to let my daughter try it." After a pause, the ghost mother said this again.
The words were not only her thoughts, but also Xiao Shizhu's decision after careful consideration. Both ghosts felt that their daughter could take on this important task. The reason was that Xiao Fuling was also a smart ghost.
Since childhood, Xiao Shizhu has taught her more about observation. To this day, Xiao Fuling has developed a pair of wise eyes, which is something that most of the secret spies of Chachasi cannot compare with.
Moreover, Xiao Fuling has been learning art for many years with the national teacher Yingying. In addition to learning the magical and ghost skills of the simple and natural world, the national teacher Yingying also taught her the secret to find the roots and find out the clues in the details and get the judgment.
In addition, some of the secret spies from Chachasi have already become familiar with the ghosts who commit crimes against the wind outside the palace, and may even have colluded with each other.
Therefore, sending Xiao Fuling to investigate the matter secretly is the best way. Lai Yueqi can help from the side, and there is greater hope of finding out the matter.
Lu Wu thought about it for a long time, and naturally thought of this level. But he was still a little worried; after all, the ghosts who could break the law in the territory of the Jiuyou Kingdom were powerful.
If there is no open, the power in the secret is definitely not small. Then it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and can't be prevented by open guns.
As Xiao Shizhu's sworn brother, Lu Wu, Xiao Fuling's uncle, was worried that if Xiao Fuling really found something and forced the evil ghosts to take risks, it would be difficult to explain to Xiao Shizhu if the master had any mistakes.
It's right.
"Master Lu, go and do what you should do." Just as Lu Wu was about to say something, the ghost mother turned around and said this, and took her followers to the deep palace without looking back.
Walking away.
I don't give Lu Wu any chance to say anything.
After walking far away, the ghost mother saw that there was no one around, so she turned around and walked into the side of the road. A guard was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and was full of imperceptible secret whistles guarding the palace gate.
Behind the palace gate, the courtyards inside the high walls are beautiful and beautiful. The bamboo forests are clear and sound. They are arranged in a staggered manner between pavilions and pavilions, exquisite rockery, and clear streams. The yin energy rises in the springs and streams, and the mist slowly spreads around them.
The fog is hazy, but the trees in the courtyard are connected by winding patterns, and the scenery is still beautiful.
Who would have thought that such a secluded and quiet place would be the Xuan Cult in the Jiuyou Kingdom.
In addition to some scholars of the Xuan Sect and Xiao Shizhu's ghost mother, other ghost officials and ghost officials in the country did not know that this was the main hall of the Xuan Sect.
They only knew that this was a study room of Xiao Shizhu. Sometimes, Xiao Shizhu or the ghost mother would come here to read books, enjoy the entertainment and pass the time.
The ghost mother went straight forward and headed towards the small building surrounded by streams in the middle of the yard.
The small building is only two stories high, and it is also small and exquisite.
As soon as I entered the building, Qinglan went to hold off the palace servants and palace maids in the attic, as well as busy officials. The ghost mother also walked straight to the depths of the hall, reaching the depths, and on both sides was the corner to the second floor.
Behind the stairwell's book case.
Lin Cong, the only one who had not left in the building, hurriedly bowed to the ghost mother who sat down. The ghost mother also gave Qinglan and Chenruo a wink and signaled them to wait outside the building.
"Mr. Lin, you must have known the lord's secret order, too?" After the two followers left, the ghost mother who asked this, finally no longer calmed her face, and inadvertently revealed her concerns about her daughter and Lai Yueqi's trip.
The color.
"Yes, I have arranged all the Xuan Cultists, please rest assured." Lin Cong, who lowered his voice, lowered his head and replied: "I have already arranged two elite Xuan Cultists teams to accompany them in secret.
, protect the safety of Lord Weng and Mrs. Lai. No matter where Lord Weng and his friends go, these two teams of believers can ensure that they are safe and sound."
The whispered softly only echoed between him and the ghost mother. He could not float further away. So Qinglan and Chenruo, who were on the left and right sides of the open door, could not hear the two ghosts in the building
What.
"Well, can you see if you can join another team and secretly protect the master?" The ghost mother behind the head of Weiwei put down her pose and shelves, and asked with a little request.
She had acted like she was disregarding her previous behavior and was not caring about Xiao Fuling's various things. She was nothing more than pretending. No mother would turn a blind eye to the safety of her children.
However, Lin Cong has not married yet and has no children, so he naturally doesn't understand these things. After asking, he was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Ah?"
In his opinion, the first thing that comes to mind is that the ghost mother thinks that the two teams are not safe to protect in secret. But what he thinks is that the ghost mother does not trust his subordinates' abilities.
Then, Lin Cong smiled unconsciously, his face filled with pride, and he swears to the ghost mother: "Don't worry, every member of the two teams I sent is experienced and battle-hardened.
Master. Although Xuan Sect had not intervened in the Census Case before, the protector was our members' best. The members of the two secretly accompanying teams sent this time had also protected Lord Taifeng to Feng
Linzhou escaped. The safety of the trip between Wengzhu and Lai is absolutely guaranteed."
After hearing this, the ghost mother pondered for a long time, she still said worriedly: "You don't have to be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one, you should send one or two additional teams."
The feeling of anxiety is beyond words.
Lin Cong's previous enthusiasm and overflowing pride slowly turned into a puzzled look.
"Do you know why the lord suddenly investigated this matter?" The ghost mother looked up and asked immediately after seeing the puzzled look in Lin Cong's eyes.
Lin Cong was stunned again, and after a little guess, he slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The secret order he received was to secretly send someone to accompany Xiao Fuling secretly to protect the safety of the Weng Lord who went to Xiaofeng County.
For a moment, Lin Cong not only did not know Xiao Shizhu's intention, but also aroused curiosity in his heart.
