Qin Qiaoer placed a stick of incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
This is the routine of the night watchman of the Demon Suppression Department before taking action.
Then she bowed again, then turned around and answered Qin Shaoyou's question.
"This matter is of great importance. I don't care if I don't know. Once I know, I can't ignore it. Especially now, people from the Black Lotus Sect, as well as the people from the unknown force you mentioned, are all searching for them. In any case,
We cannot let them fall into the hands of these people."
Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.
If Zhang Xiaoni is really the prince, then he falls into the hands of the Black Lotus Sect and unknown forces, which is not only a disaster for himself, but also for the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, Qin Shaoyou is also worried about another thing.
"If there is someone or something in the palace who wants to kill Zhang Xiaoni, the emperor's heir, and you find him and take him back, wouldn't it be in danger?"
Qin Qiaoer had obviously considered this matter and said without hesitation: "No matter how dangerous it is, it would be better than now, and the commander and the loyal people in the court will definitely do their best to protect him."
There is nothing wrong with this.
If Zhang Xiaoni is really a prince, then he is the only heir of Emperor Jianwu and the first heir to the throne. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the foundation of the country.
Nowadays, there are many famines in the Great Xia Dynasty. There is a saying that this is caused by the instability of the country.
Regarding the country's foundation, the DPRK and China ministers must do their best to protect it.
But the vassal kings in various places are different.
Maybe, the unknown force searching for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni came from another vassal king who knew their identities?
Under such circumstances, it is indeed safer to return to the capital under the protection of the officials.
Qin Shaoyou did not ask any more questions, but said: "I will go with you."
Qin Qiaoer shook his head and said: "No, you stay here to avoid making people suspicious. This time I came to Yizhou. In addition to arresting the King of Shu, I also had the task of inspecting the situation of the Black Lotus Sect. I just used this as an excuse."
After a pause, she asked again: "Have you told anyone else about Zhang Xiaoni?"
"No." Qin Shaoyou shook his head, "Because I have no clear evidence, only some sporadic clues and my own guesses, so I didn't even report it to Zuo Qianhu. But it's not clear whether he guessed based on the clues."
"Zuo Qianhu is still trustworthy. No matter whether he has guessed it or not, as long as you don't tell this matter. Remember to keep it secret and don't tell anyone! But those paper figures you sent to Guankou County, Gu Chong
If you find any clues, please notify me in time."
When Qin Qiaoer said this, he took out a moth from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Shaoyou.
When this moth spreads its wings, it is about the size of a palm. It looks like an ordinary moth and there is nothing special about it.
But Qin Qiaoer said: "This is a specially bred moth. No matter where I am, it can find me. If you have any news, make a honey pill for it to swallow and tell it to come to me."
"Okay." Qin Shaoyou responded, accepted the moth and put it in his carry-on bag.
Valley splitting
This moth is very honest and does not move when it is put in the bag.
Qin Qiaoer looked Qin Shaoyou up and down and sighed with a smile: "When I first met Zuo Qianhu today, he was still praising you and saying that you were a blessed general. At that time, I was still wondering how you became a blessed general. Yes? Now it seems that you are indeed a lucky general. You can even ask me to find out such a thing. Your luck is really not simple."
"I'm really lucky. I don't know if it's because of Grandmaster's care."
Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands towards the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, and then said sternly: "Sixth sister, you are going to search for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni, I won't stop you. But you'd better report this matter to your master and the others. .In addition, if you encounter a demon from the Black Lotus Sect during the search, be sure not to be reckless. There are some powerful and strange characters among these demons."
He briefly told Qin Qiaoer about the 'see you tomorrow' monk, but concealed the fact that he had been 'dream-attacked' by the 'see you tomorrow' monk, so as not to worry Qin Qiaoer.
"Don't worry. I have met many powerful characters and encountered many dangerous situations in the past few years. I know what to do and will never be reckless."
After Qin Qiaoer said these words, she laughed happily again: "Okay, my brother already knows how to care about me. It seems that he has really grown up and matured."
The two of them talked for a few more words, and then heard a commotion of people and horses neighing outside the lobby where the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was enshrined. When they looked up, it was Zhang Yu who came over with a few messengers in red clothes, leading the horses. .
Qin Qiaoer immediately walked towards these men and said as he walked: "Without further delay, I have to rush to Guankou County overnight. After finishing this matter, I will go home to visit my parents. When you return to Mianyuan County , you should take a trip home, right? Say hello to my parents, third sister, and fifth sister for me."
Qin Shaoyou responded: "I understand, Sixth Sister, please pay attention to your safety."
As the two people walked out of the lobby, the lingering smoke quickly dissipated. Qin Qiaoer took the reins handed over by Zhang Yu, got on the horse, waved to Qin Shaoyou, and galloped away.
Zhang Yu also got on the horse, bowed his hand to Qin Shaoyou, and said with some regret: "Brother Qin, I can only treat you to a drink next time. When you go home, say hello to the commander's father and mother for me."
Several other red-clothed envoys also said the same thing, unwilling to let others compete.
Watching Qin Qiaoer and his team leave Yizhou Town Demon Division at high speed, Qin Shaoyou turned back to the lobby, put a stick of incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, and prayed softly:
"Master Patriarch, you must keep my sixth sister safe and sound. If anything happens to her, I won't be in the mood to cook."
Although the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was expressionless, the gaze in his eyes swayed obviously.
Time flew by and came to the next day.
When it gets dark, Zuo Qianhu will personally lead the team to escort the King of Shu to the capital.
The King of Shu was very cooperative and seemed to be sure that nothing would happen to him.
What he didn't know was that Zuo Qianhu had secretly placed the unconscious patrol censor Liu Shuyuan in the team, and wanted to take him to the capital with him so that the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division could find a way to wake him up.
Moreover, a large-scale Dharma conference is being held in the capital recently, and eminent monks and Taoists are gathered together. Maybe there is a way to help Liu Shuyuan recover his lost soul and wake him up.
Although Zuo Qianhu had to leave, the inspection of the palace could not be stopped. This task was handed over to a deputy Qianhu of Yizhou Town Demon Division and Lu Xiaochuan of Jincheng Town Demon Division.
As for Qin Shaoyou, Zuo Qianhu did not take him with him to the capital.
Qin Shaoyou had no objection to this, but Zhu Xiucai was very disappointed because he lost an opportunity to go to the capital to see the humanities.
However, before setting off, Zuo Qianhu sent someone to call Qin Shaoyou and gave him a new task.
