In the eastern capital Luoyang, under the heavy night, a team surrounded by a gorgeous and spacious carriage and walked slowly along Dingdingmen Street.

There are sixteen guards riding with swords in front and behind the carriage, and eight palace maids carrying high-branched lanterns on both sides of the carriage.

The lantern is reflected in two black words, "Xianyi", which is Princess Xianyi's convoy.

After nightfall, there were basically no pedestrians on the street, only this team walked on the street.

Everyone was surprised that it was dark, and the princess was going to see the wedding boat?

But when I think about it, I feel relieved. I am about to get married. Which bride doesn’t care about her wedding?

It is reasonable to look at the atmosphere of the wedding boat in the night, after all, the wedding is held at night.

At the end of Dingdingmen Street is Luoshui, and after crossing Tianjin Bridge is the Imperial City.

After walking dozens of steps, the team must turn right and continue to go east along Luoshui.

A group of warriors ambushed in the darkness west of Tianjin Bridge, full of murderous intent, and patiently waiting for the opportunity.

The princess' convoy arrived at Tianjin Bridge and began to turn right. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly broke out, a gust of sand and stones, horses neighed, and the team was in chaos.

A huge black monster appeared on the Luoshui River, three feet tall, with two horns several feet long above its head, and its eyes as big as lanterns, staring at the ground red.

It suddenly let out a low cry, its mouth wide open, and a burst of fire was spurted into the chaotic crowd.

The palace maids were extremely frightened and lay on the ground one after another. The guards were so scared that they were so frightened that a few of them even turned around and ran away.

But the bull demon did not continue to show off his power and soon sank into the water.

Finally calmed down, suddenly, the maid in the carriage shouted in horror.

"What's going on? Where did the princess go?"

Princess Xianyi is missing.

…………

Before dawn, Li Xiu was awakened by a rush knock on the door.

He yawned and glanced sleepily above the window, it was still dark!

"It's so rude!"

Li Xiu muttered and asked unhappily: "What's the matter?"

The voice of the maid Sister Niu came from outside, "Young Master, there is an official outside looking for him, saying that there is something urgent!"

Officials + urgent matters are disgusting when they hear them. Only when the God of Wealth + good things can one raise the spirit.

Li Xiu stood up slowly and came to the gate with a sleepy look on his face. A man came forward to bow and handed over a document.

"Please rush to Zongzheng Temple immediately!"

………….

Zongzheng Temple is responsible for managing the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and also manages Buddhist and Taoist temples in the world.

Zhang Ping and Zhao Ping didn't know where they were going, and they didn't return overnight. Li Xiu had to let Pei Min be his follower and rode a horse to Zongzheng Temple.

When I walked into Zongzheng Temple, I realized that there was a task to do.

This made Li Xiu very energetic and quickly walked into the Zongzheng Temple Beacon Hall.

However, he unexpectedly saw a large group of royal family members who came to do the mission, with twenty or thirty people. They all had common characteristics: titles and pursuits.

Not all clans with titles want to do tasks. In fact, most clans with titles are enjoyment types.

Not only is it hard and tiring to do tasks, but it is still life-threatening. Even messing up things, you may lose your title.

Only those children of the royal family who have pursuits regard doing tasks as a challenge in life.

This is Li Xiu's second time to visit Zongzheng Temple, but this is the first time to visit Minglan Temple.

The Beacon is the place where tasks are deployed.

After receiving the notice, everyone will soon arrive from all directions.

Then gather in front of the mission roulette and place your knight card on the turntable, which is called a dot card.

After turning the plate gently, my heart was raised to my throat.

When the turntable stops, the jockey card will slide down from the turntable to see if it can fall into the grid with tasks.

This is because there are too many monks and less porridge, and there are only two or three tasks at a time. Whether you can get the task depends on your luck.

Another situation is a wolf-style mission. When you take out a task, everyone can do it and compete with each other. Whoever succeeds in the end will receive a reward.

Before time came, everyone gathered together to talk, and Li Xiu knew no one.

He was about to come up and listen, but a few people immediately stopped talking and looked at him vigilantly, and everyone was like this.

It was not until a few months later that Li Xiu realized that this was called circle.

The task is difficult, and it is difficult to succeed by fighting alone. Under the guidance of interests and friendship, they formed their own circles.

Currently, there are seven circles of the clans who are doing tasks, forming seven small interest groups.

When they receive the task, the people in the circle will be dispatched together. After success, the rewards will be divided equally and the titles will be taken turns.

Li Xiu is still alone now, and there is no circle to accept him for the time being.

After walking around, Li Xiu finally saw Li Ji and Li Sheng in front of the mission roulette. What were they talking in a low voice?

Of course, Li Ji and Li Sheng are also in the same circle. They are called Sheng Ji Circle and rank first in strength.

"What are you talking about, two brothers?"

Li Xiu has this benefit, he is thick-skinned and doesn't care about what others think of him.

These two men suffered a big fight in the case of Niu Xiantong. If Li Xiu hadn't finally turned the tables, their ending wouldn't have been very good.

So the two of them were quite polite to Li Xiu.

"Thirty-eight Lang is here, we are talking about Luoyang!"

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What happened in Luoyang?"

Li Ji nodded, "I heard that something big happened, but it is still unclear what it is. I guess the convening today is related to this matter."

Li Sheng also smiled and said, "If you guessed correctly, today will be a pack of wolves mission."

"Hmph! Your status is too low, of course it is impossible to know what happened!"

When Li Xiu turned around, his old friend Li Cui actually came.

Li Cui just arrived. Like Li Xiu, he did not belong to any circle and fought alone.

But his strength is much stronger than Li Xiu.

Li Xiu threw out an old provocation method.

"I guess you don't know either, just pretend to behave!"

"How come I don't know!"

Li Cui's fat face was flushed and he glared at Li Xiu, "My father told me that I have much more information than you. This time I will be promoted to the title!"

Li Xiu was secretly happy in his heart that one provocation method had at least three gains and had another title. Li Cui had important information on his hands, and Li Cui was still as stupid as before.

"Li Taiqing is here!"

In the lobby, everyone dodged a way. Li Yan, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, walked quickly with a document in his hand, followed by Shaoqing Li Huang.

Li Yan stood on a high place and waved his hand, and the lobby was silent.

"Everyone must have heard some news that Princess Xianyi from Dongdu is missing."

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and Li Xiu was also quite surprised. They went to Luoyang immediately to attend the wedding of Princess Xianyi, and the bride-to-be actually disappeared.

"Don't argue, listen to me!"

The lobby became quiet again, and Li Yan continued: "Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Inner Health Bureau have mobilized elite troops to Luoyang for investigation.

The emperor and the regent decided to take the search for Princess Xianyi as an emergency task, rewarding a promotion and a bonus of 10,000 yuan. Those who are willing to take the task can come and receive the visa."

No one moved, only Li Xiu stepped forward and drew a bronze lottery.

Li Xiu immediately felt that it was inappropriate, why didn’t others smoke?

At this time, Li Cui stepped forward and drew a lottery.

The two of them were completely aware of it and the other was completely unaware of it.

If you don’t draw lots for the time being, you need to understand the specific case and consider whether to accept the task after evaluating the safety.

Li Yan glanced at Li Xiu and said lightly: "According to our knowledge, Princess Xianyi's disappearance this time may be related to the monster."

"Demon!" The lobby suddenly became an uproar.

…………

There were many monsters in the Tang Dynasty, which may be related to the Tang Dynasty's advocacy of Taoism.

Some monsters are pretending to be gods and ghosts, while some people are not aware of the Tang Dynasty and are confused about some phenomena in nature, but some monsters are still unsolved even in later generations.
