Chapter 109: No Suspicion Between Man and Animal
Chang Meizhen looked up with a very proud expression.
"you know?"
Zhao Wumian smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The expression on his face said it all: You know nothing!
Chang Meizhen was dissatisfied and said, "Why can't I know? I attend the birthday banquet every year! The Queen is gentle and frugal. She likes whatever gifts the younger generation gives her. But I know that she likes knitting the most!"
This doesn't seem to be a random shot.
Zhao Wumian was a little surprised: "How did you know that?"
Chang Meizhen said, "Of course, it's from her usual behavior." She counted on her fingers, "Although the queen is the queen, she still personally prepares the emperor's meals every day. She also personally asks about the food and clothing of the princes and grandchildren. It seems that five years ago, she began to imitate the story of the former Queen Yuanchabi who boiled bowstrings and wove silk clothes. She ordered people to set up looms in the harem, and when she had free time, she would weave by herself. It can be seen that this is what she likes most!"
After saying this, he added with a confident look, "I gave her a loom made of red sandalwood last year, and she liked it very much!"
"puff!"
Zhao Wumian spat out a mouthful of tea, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Amazing... I guess her expression must be indescribable when she received the gift..."
Chang Meizhen thought for a moment and said, "It seems a bit strange... She may not like red sandalwood. But it doesn't matter. This year I asked a craftsman to make one out of huanghuali. This time I'm sure she will be satisfied."
"Um……"
Zhao Wumian was speechless for a long while. This unruly girl was really stupid.
Empress Ma was setting an example for the harem. Regardless of whether she liked weaving or not, even if she did, how could she use rosewood to make a loom? During the spring ploughing ceremony, the emperor used a golden pestle to hoe the ground. Would that have been effective?
Forget it, it’s done, just let her be.
Zhao Wumian is just an outsider, so it’s enough for him to show his appreciation. Of course, it would be better if he can please him, so that it won’t be in vain.
"What did the princess give you?"
Since Chang Meizhen cannot be relied upon, it is better to look for inspiration from others.
"A [Phiphi]."
Chang Meizhen couldn't help but smile when she mentioned it. "It's a very beautiful little beast. It was just delivered yesterday. It's said that it can relieve worries. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan spent a lot of money to order the strange people in the martial arts world to search for it for a long time. When he received the letter this morning, he knew that you were going back, and wanted you to take the birthday gift with you."
The princes cannot enter the capital without an imperial edict, and this year is not a birthday celebration. In order to prevent the wolves and barbarians in the north from taking advantage of the situation, the princes guarding the borders only need to pay their respects.
Philip...
Zhao Wumian recalled the record in Records of Strange Things in China: On top of Mount Huo, there are trees with many grains and a beast that looks like a raccoon, but with a white tail and a mane. It is called Feifei and raising it can relieve your worries.
The King of Yan really had a lot of intention in giving this gift.
Historically, Empress Ma died of illness. Some say that she died of overwork, while others say that she was infected while taking care of the emperor's eldest grandson who was suffering from smallpox and eventually died.
No matter which one it is, it is not a problem in the mythical Ming Dynasty. In order to be consistent with "history", the planner will definitely use other methods to let these two people reach the historical ending.
It’s not easy to change your fate…
Zhao Wumian took out all the treasures on his body and prepared to pick one.
He is full of treasures now.
Not to mention weapons, armor, secret manuals, etc., there are also rare treasures such as the Moon Gui, Yan Jia, and Yu Hu...
The Jade Amber is broken, and the spiritual power inside is almost gone. If you want to restore its spirituality, you need a skilled craftsman to repair it. It can't be presented in its current state. I can't bear to part with the Yue Gui. Yan Jia is still dead. How about catching a strange beast?
He did have some ready-made items on him, but he couldn't give away the Ice Silkworm and Xiaokui.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wumian looked up at the sky. Oh, where's Xiaokui? She should have been hungry by this time...
Zhao Wumian whistled, and the sound traveled several miles away, but there was no response...
Zhao Wumian's face changed slightly and he stood up. Something was wrong!
At this moment, a gray-brown harrier hawk flew over from a distance. Zhao Wumian recognized it as Xiaokui's top henchman. When Xiaokui took the Jade Claw Gyrfalcon's Millennium Inner Pill, it was the first to come over. This time when it came to Beiping, it also served Xiaokui attentively and attentively along the way, catching prey for Xiaokui every day...
problem occurs!
"Chirp~Chirp~"
The harrier's feathers stood up and it looked disheveled. It quickly landed in front of Zhao Wumian, spread its wings, and flapped them, as if it wanted to say something.
Zhao Wumian's face turned even colder: "Lead the way!"
The hawk flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Zhao Wumian immediately used his physical skills to rush out.
Chang Meizhen realized something was wrong, so she formed seals with her hands and performed the Huode Sect's secret light body technique [Mingxu Wings]. Her true energy transformed into scarlet wings, and she flapped her wings slightly, increasing her speed greatly. She leaped out, moving swiftly and rapidly, following Zhao Wumian closely.
A hawk swooped overhead to lead the way.
The two walked westwards, going further and further, until they came to the foot of a high mountain. Looking up, they could see the towering mountains, the magnificent scenery, and the extremely beautiful scenery. At the foot of the mountain was a small village, and at the head of the village there was an inn with a sign that read "Peace".
The kite suddenly raised its body and circled over the inn, not daring to land, but not flying away either.
Surprisingly, no sound was made during the whole process, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
"Xiao Kui is in this inn?"
Chang Meizhen looked around and roughly recognized it: "This seems to be Baihuatuo. A few years ago, when Sister Miaoyun was still unmarried, we came to Beiping Prefecture with her and visited here. This mountain is a summer resort for the dignitaries of Beiping. Has Xiaokui been arrested?"
"should be."
Zhao Wumian retracted his gaze and said, "Xiao Kui is timid. It is the only one who would not fly so far. Ordinary people would not scare the harrier so much. Xiao Kui should have been captured near the palace. It couldn't even call for help from beginning to end. I'm afraid these people have some tricks..."
"Some methods..."
Chang Meizhen suddenly thought of something and her face changed slightly. "Could it be someone from the Wanshou Villa? They came to Beiping from Pingliang yesterday just to send Feifei off! Could it be that they noticed that Xiaokui was different from the ordinary and captured her? They are the best at dealing with birds and beasts!"
Wanshou Villa?
The information in the case library flashed through Zhao Wumian’s mind.
Wanshou Villa is a major sect in the northwest. Its owner, Meng Changfeng, also known as "Qilinzi", is a master of the fourth realm and a great master of swordsmanship.
This man was obsessed with animals and built a zoo on Liupan Mountain in Pingliang Prefecture. It is the Wanshou Villa which has become famous in recent years and houses all kinds of rare and exotic animals.
Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes.
If it were an ordinary Jinyiwei, he should be able to easily get his pet back if he revealed his identity, but Pingliang Hou Fei Ju once sat in the northwest, and his base camp was Pingliang Prefecture! At that time, all factions in the territory had surrendered, and now Fei Ju can be said to have died in his own hands, and it is hard to say what these people are thinking.
If he knew her identity, Xiaokui would be in danger if he appeared to be submissive but secretly plotted against her.
It’s better to take it back first.
Zhao Wumian quickly changed out of his Feiyu suit, activated the Actor's Treasure Mirror, changed his face, hid his true energy, and said, "Just wait here, don't act rashly, I'll go in and take a look."
"Ok!"
Chang Meizhen has full confidence in Zhao Wumian. As long as Meng Changfeng doesn't come in person, the people in Wanshou Villa can't touch Zhao Wumian. It is said that Meng Changfeng has been in seclusion in recent years to break through to the fifth level. If it's not him, then there is nothing to worry about the rest!
Zhao Wumian disguised himself as an ordinary wanderer, walked into the inn, and ordered two baked buns and a plate of cooked beef.
The waiter called out and ran to the kitchen.
Zhao Wumian sat in the corner of the lobby, sending out his spiritual sense to sense carefully. There were indeed masters in the inn, three at the third realm and twelve at the peak of the second realm. They were in the fifth room on the second floor. Those at the second realm were guarding the door, while those at the third realm were talking in detail inside. Their voices were very low and barely audible. They must have placed [sound-absorbing stones] in the room.
Zhao Wumian stepped on the ground with his toes, secretly opened a formation, made hand seals, and performed "Heaven and Earth as Soldiers".
"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is transformed into qi, the wind of the Holy Spirit, the six ears listen to the sound!"
The sound within a radius of ten feet suddenly increased several times!
Countless strange noises flooded into my ears.
Zhao Wumian heard the chewing and swallowing sounds of the guests at the next table, the shouting in the kitchen, the barking of dogs in the backyard, the scolding of the shopkeeper, the timidity of the waiters in the woodshed, and the whispers coming from the fifth room.
"Isn't it dumb?"
"There is no parrot that can't talk. It's pretending to be our grandson. It's quite smart."
"Is it a parrot? It looks so weird."
"That's why I caught it. It has the scent of a Saker Falcon, and it has jade claws... It's amazing!"
"Jade-clawed Gyrfalcon?! That's a fortune!"
"You should read more books. There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. Do you understand? It looks like this. If I say it is a Saker Falcon, will anyone believe it?"
"Too."
"Okay, put it aside for now. Come and eat, and then we'll leave! Once you get the "No Suspicion Between Man and Animal", and master the secret technique, you won't have to worry about it not being obedient. Then you can do whatever you want!"
"Brother, it's been so many years, is the secret manual still there? Besides, that gibbon is very powerful. We went through so much trouble, don't let it end up with nothing..."
"Don't be so discouraged, kid. That is Li Taibai's inheritance! Dad has been looking for it for decades, how could it be fake? Besides, even if there is no secret manual, there is still [Ice Chi Grass] in the cave, an earth-level spiritual material, so it will not be a loss."
Ok?
Zhao Wumian's eyes lit up slightly. Natural treasures are good, but spiritual plants are even better.
I had something urgent to do and was late for work, so this chapter is a bit short. I will add it right away.
