Chapter 13: I have a knot in the wood, and I know you can't understand 1
"Report--!" A general in blue clothes rushed to the horse and said, "Report to the general, I searched the whole palace and didn't see the ninth prince. Maybe he took advantage of the chaos to escape."
The young man riding on a jujube red high-headed horse shrugged his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Escaped? Can he escape? Can he escape from the net of my Hazan army? Keep searching for me!"
"Yes!" The general in blue clothes hurriedly took the order to leave. He knew that since the war between Xia Ya and Hazan, the general's temper had been getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it was better to be subordinates.
The young general held a rein in one hand and a handgun, looking at the dilapidated and bloody Xia Ya Palace in front of him.
"General, the ninth prince is not very close to you. Why don't you let him live?" The deputy general next to him asked puzzledly.
"The more personal friends you have, the more you can't be tolerated. If I destroy the great cause of Hazan, what kind of face do you ask me to see the brothers who died under the nine springs?" The young general's voice was low and there was a hidden anger, and the deputy general had to stop.
In the year 122 of Xia Ya, the imperial capital Wucheng fell, and all the members of the royal family were beheaded. Only the whereabouts of the ninth prince Hanur were unknown.
In the military account late at night, General Hazan was discussing the next step plan with the military division and the deputy generals. A soldier suddenly came to report that the man had taken a box and was almost killed by a military stick when he was first found.
"Box?" Duo Wang seemed to think of something. He pushed aside the deputy generals around the sand table and said, "Let me see."
After a while, the box that almost killed the man was presented.
It is a wooden box with fine workmanship. It looks like it is intertwined with countless wooden strips, layer by layer, which makes people don't know where to open it.
"What is this?" The military division picked it up and turned it in his hand for a few times without looking at the doorway. He knocked it down and realized that it was indeed a box and what else it contained.
Duo Wang frowned and seemed to be recalling something. A deputy general asked, "Where did you find this?"
The dying gangster was carried by two soldiers and replied weakly, "On the table of a palace, there are many petals there."
"What did you say?" Duo Wang suddenly grabbed the man's skirt and asked angrily with wide eyes.
"Flowers, petals, a lot of petals, flowers that can't be named, everywhere..." The man was scared and stagled by him.
Duo Wang gasped and looked like an angry bull. Several deputy generals hurriedly grabbed him and sent the man out.
"General, what's wrong with the petals?" The military division asked puzzledly. He remembered that although the general was grumpy, he never touched people easily, especially that he was just a man in front of him, and there was no need to do anything.
Duo Wang shook his head slowly, broke away from the hands of the deputy generals, grabbed the wooden box, and raised it to his eyes to look carefully.
When everyone saw his strange behavior, they couldn't guess the reason, so they left the general's account one after another.
He was the only one left in the account. He sat down by the bed with the box in his hand and rubbed his forehead with one hand.
- You are a nerd, a nerd who doesn't understand the love of the world.
- Are you afraid to be with me?
- If one day we have to meet in war, will you die for me?
The palace where he lives is sprinkled with petals. Except for him, he doesn't make any other guesses. Only the person who loves beauty more than anything else will have such incredible actions.
- Love beauty more than anything else? Haha, you're wrong. Even if I love beauty more than anything else, I love you more than beauty!
"Hanul..." The young general stared at the box on his knees, and his rough fingers gently rubbed the wood grain, as if he were his beloved.
Hanul, what exactly do you want to tell me about leaving this box?

"Haunted in Taifu Temple? Oh, oh, it's really scary!"
"You don't pretend!"
Recently, I don't know why there have been many big and small disasters in the capital. The ink of the former emperor has appeared, which has shown that someone's intention to shake the Daji Kingdom. At this time, the Taifu Temple, which is in charge of gold, silver, jewelry and antiques, is haunted, and I have to doubt whether anyone is doing something behind his back.
But ghosting can only be a private rumor. More than ten years ago, Daji strictly banned the art of witchcraft and burned all books about ghosts and gods. The word haunted could not reach the emperor's ears. The people of Taifu Temple only reported that there were frequent thieves. Emperor Xuanping was in the drum, so he only ordered to strengthen their vigilance. In this way, Han Ruxu was busier than usual, and he wandered around Taifu Temple with the left and right forbidden army all day long.
Even if ordinary people are afraid, they dare not assert that there are ghosts in the world. They always avoid talking, but Han Ruxu is different from them. He has seen countless fierce ghosts wandering on the street with his own eyes. If it weren't for the act of appearance, I'm afraid that the tragedy of the evil ghosts will be repeated on the first night. Although I don't know why I can no longer see ghosts later, I still believe in the existence of these evil spirits.
"You did it again!" Nowadays, everyone is in danger. He still dares to make waves openly in Taifu Temple. Except for Wei Tanyi, he can't think of a second person.
Wei Tanyi was busy drying tea cakes and didn't even raise his head: "Lord Han's words are so funny. Why bother to go to the Taifu Temple to make trouble? If you like the things in it, why don't you just draw a picture and ask my nephew to pick it up?"
Obviously, there is no complete evidence. Han Ruxu had to follow him in the courtyard: "As long as I ask Zhenxiang, even if it's not what you did, you won't know anything. Why don't you say it?"
"Can you ask Lord Han to give a reason why Wei has to do it?"
"..."
Seeing his words, Wei Tanyi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled maliciously.
"We, we are friends, aren't we?" He stammered back.
The word friend came out of his mouth, which was a rare miracle in Wei Tanyi's eyes. He raised his eyebrows without making a statement, and smiled extremely ambiguously.
Han Ruqi blushed and gritted his teeth: "Why do you laugh so cunningly!"
"No, it's just because Lord Han's blushing is rare for a hundred years. Unfortunately, I went out, otherwise she should really let her see it." Wei Tanyi straightened his waist and brushed the tea from the cuffs.
"The sandalwood jacket!!" If you don't say it, you're welcome.
"I know, I know. Why is Lord Han so angry at such a young age?"
Wei Tanyi held his jaw in one hand: "To be honest, I'm also very curious about this matter. Even if you don't come, I will find a reason to see Lord Lu."
Is there anything else you don't know? Thinking about it this way, Han Ruqi couldn't help laughing at himself. Why did he think of him as so omniscient? No matter how a wizard he is, he can't know the world. Well, you see..."
"If other wizards come to the capital, I will never know," Wei Tanyi pointed to the ground. "Do you know how big my shop is?"
Han Ruqi shook his head honestly, and Wei Tanyi smiled slightly: "Yongning Lane is next to the green dragon, and there are more dark springs gushing out here. It is not too much to say that the dragon spring is living water. All the people coming and going in the capital can be reflected here, and you can know how many people come and go at the gate without leaving home. Coincidentally, this place is also the gateway of ghosts in the Northeast. Whether it is a grievance or a ghost, there will be changes in the activity spring in the capital.
What kind of green dragon ghost? Han Ruxu didn't understand it at all. He asked impatiently, "What on earth are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is that I didn't know about the ** in Taifu Temple this time. If it hadn't been for the unclean things in Taifu Temple itself," Wei Tanyi suddenly looked stingy, "That's a master who is completely out of my control."
"...that?"
"But that's impossible."
Wei Tanyi suddenly smiled again, and the killing expression disappeared in an instant: "At least in Daji, it is impossible for a wizard stronger than me to exist."
