Although the Queen Mother was a little confused about Jiang Erlang coming so late to win his half-son's portrait, she could still "understand" it when Ying Huo Shouxin was involved.

It seems... Erlang is indeed very loyal to Da Qin.

As for the portrait of Ying Banzi...

It's not something shameful.

After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, each generation of emperors had a picture scroll. When they ascended the throne and celebrated their birthdays, they would draw one every one or two years.

The Queen Mother didn't think much and said directly: "Okay, according to my wishes, bring over two portraits of our ancestor Qin Wu when he was young."

"yes!"

A palace maid immediately took the order and left.

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Erlang and said again: "I heard that Erlang's father has been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but you still live in the Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty after you returned to Beijing. Why didn't you go visit him?"

Jiang Erlang was stunned for a moment. He had actually forgotten this matter a long time ago.

His original intention was just to "try his best" to save people.

He really didn't think much about visiting or anything, after all, he still had to call him daddy.

However, since the Queen Mother brought it up, he still replied: "Although my father has been released, I can't see him now."

"Oh? Why is this?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised: "Erlang now has a title, and your father's affairs have also been found out. He was indeed wronged. I am also going to give some favors to your father so that he can

He can serve Da Qin better, why did Erlang say we can't meet each other now?"

Jiang Erlang replied: "Erlang must be grateful for the kindness the Queen Mother showed to Erlang. However, although my father was wronged, he still did something wrong after all. If I go to see him now, I will definitely be discussed by the courtiers.

It is said that Chen’s father was released because of the grace of the Queen Mother.

Therefore, I hope that my father can do some practical things for the Qin Dynasty. When that time comes, if I meet him again, the civil and military officials of the entire court will have nothing to say!"

The Queen Mother obviously did not expect that Jiang Erlang in front of her would have such "delicate" thoughts. She opened her mouth for a moment, but she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, two scrolls were brought in.

At this time, the Queen Mother put away the topic of Erlang's father and turned to the paintings of Ying's son: "Erlang, these two pictures are the portraits of our ancestor Qin Wu when he was young."

"Well, I have a lot of blood on my hands. I would like to ask the maids to unfold them for you." Jiang Erlang did not move forward immediately, but stood still.

"Okay." When the Queen Mother heard this, she was even more surprised by Jiang Erlang's "delicacy", and unknowingly, she also liked him more and more.

…

Two palace maids unfolded the two scrolls.

Jiang Erlang took a closer look.

In an instant, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because these two pictures of Ying Banzi when he was young made him feel more familiar.

He shouted in his heart... I must have seen this person! But why can't I remember it? This feeling is so strange.

The young man on the scroll has an elegant demeanor and exquisite facial features.

Jiang Erlang was certain that there was no such 'friend' in his life, but the young man's temperament made him feel very familiar.

What is the problem?

Just thinking about it...

The Queen Mother's voice came over again: "What is Erlang's guess?"

"This..." Jiang Erlang hesitated for a moment, then said: "I do have a bold guess, but I haven't found the answer yet in these two scrolls."

"Oh? What answer is Erlang looking for?" The Queen Mother became more and more confused.

"The answer I'm looking for is... a way for Emperor Qin Wu to stay in the world and fight against Yinghuo Shouxin."

"What's the way to fight against Yinghuo Shouxin?" The Queen Mother thought for a moment: "But isn't this method already available? Is it to reunite hundreds of families under Jixia?"

"Yes, this is indeed a good idea, but it has been some time since hundreds of families gathered in Jixia..." Jiang Erlang did not say the next words.

The Queen Mother naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Erlang's words.

Hundreds of schools of thought have indeed been gathered in Jixia for some time, but apart from Buddhist debate, there is not much that stands out.

Of course, in a sense... it can be considered effective.

For example: if Buddhism had not participated in the debate, the siege of Xijing would not have been resolved. From this point of view, the gathering of hundreds of schools of thought in Jixia was indeed effective.

But Baijia is not ‘Buddhism’!

What if the purpose of hundreds of schools gathering in Jixia is to get Buddhism to take action? This logic is really unreasonable.

After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother asked again: "Erlang thinks that there are some special reasons why hundreds of families gathered in Jixia, and there may be answers in the scrolls of our ancestor Qin Wu."

"The Queen Mother is unparalleled in wisdom, and I admire her greatly!" Jiang Erlang glanced at the Queen Mother. Her reading comprehension ability can indeed be regarded as a perfect score.

"Haha." The Queen Mother smiled: "Erlang is truly unparalleled in wisdom. He actually thought of finding the answer in the scrolls of his ancestor Qin Wu. This shows that Erlang is indeed serious about Yinghuo Shouxin."

"It's a pity that I haven't been able to find the answer yet." Jiang Erlang sighed.

"Erlang, don't be discouraged. Just look for it slowly. If you find any new clues, just come back to me." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded towards Erlang Jiang.

Jiang Erlang understood the hidden meaning of the Queen Mother's words and immediately said respectfully: "Yes, I will definitely find out the answer. It is getting late today, so I will not disturb the Queen Mother's rest."

"Well, Erlang is going to have a rest early." The Queen Mother nodded.

Jiang Erlang was about to leave.

But at this moment, there was a sudden thunder.

Then, a turquoise light lit up outside the palace, dyeing the entire Ganquan Palace with a layer of green gauze.

The Queen Mother's body that had already stood up stopped, her eyes slightly opened, and she looked out the door: "What happened outside?"

"Da da da!"

Immediately, a guard walked in from the door: "Queen Mother, I don't know what happened outside, but judging from the direction of the light, it seems to be the location of Jixia Academy."

Jixia Academy?!

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment. There were hundreds of families gathered in Jixia Academy now, and there was a master watching over them. What could happen?

Jiang Erlang was also a little confused.

Green light lights up from Jixia Academy, what's going on?

Is there a monster out?

impossible!

Now the monsters in the Western Region have retreated, and there are no monsters in this world that will light up green when they appear.

The treasure is born, it’s not bad!

etc!

treasure?!

Jiang Erlang suddenly thought of something... green light! Treasure? Could it be... the last bronze man in Luojian Lake?!

This seems to be the only reason that makes sense.

He still remembers...

When the large stone statues and bronze figures in Huai'an County were born, they caused a "blood massacre".

In a sense, blood slaughter is a kind of "regional creature", because a certain kind of special creatures gather together to cause the phenomenon of blood slaughter.

But the Bronze Man in Luojian Lake should have another 'protection method'.

It is impossible for all bronze men to protect themselves in the same way, otherwise, when the bloody massacre in Huai'an County occurs, it will not cause so much trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Erlang made a decisive decision: "Empress Dowager, I am now the deputy head of the Night Investigation Department. Now there is something strange in Jixia Academy. I should go and check it out immediately!"

"Yes." The Queen Mother naturally would not object: "Thank you for your hard work, Erlang."

"I resign!"

Jiang Erlang withdrew from Ganquan Palace.

Then, he sent the signal directly.

Summon the night watchmen from the Night Investigation Department and gather them immediately. The location is Jixia Academy.

After all, when it comes to 'investigation', the identity of the Night Detective Division is the most suitable.

Moreover, he had unintentionally received the Empress Dowager's permission just now. In this way, even the Master could not stop him from going.

…

The Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ji Ruxue, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked fiercely in the direction of Jixia Academy.

There, green light rose into the sky, illuminating the originally dark sky.

Although this kind of movement was not as good as the strange appearance when Yinghuo Shouxin arrived, Ji Ruxue's eyes shone brightly.
