Chapter 1323 I Want to See What Is in the Boundless Desert

Shang Youlan walked to the basin and flipped the scroll over and hung it on the shelf where the basin was placed, with the white back of the scroll facing. Then she took a towel and wet it in the water. Then she wet the white back of the scroll and applied a slight layer of water stains. That’s it.

Wherever the water is wet, light cyan writing immediately appears.

After the full handwriting appeared, Shang Youlan, who was holding a towel with both hands, took a closer look. She was old and her eyes were not working well.

After reading the handwriting on the white back, Shang Youlan choked with tears and covered her mouth and nose with the towel in her hand, not daring to let herself cry.

The letter was sent by his son Hai Wuji.

It’s my mother’s birthday. As a son, I miss my mother. I miss her but I don’t dare to see her. I don’t dare to write letters normally, and I don’t dare to keep in touch frequently for a long time. I can only send a letter mixed with the congratulatory gifts every year on my birthday to say hello to my mother. Reporting peace to mother.

He couldn't reply to the letter asking the questions he wanted to ask, because Hai Wuji didn't dare to provide his mother with any contact information. He could only write letters and have one-way contact.

The hegemony of a prince is certainly beautiful, but the unspeakable secrets and unbearable things that happen after the glory are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Even reading a letter of greetings was like this. The sadness in Shang Youlan's heart was indescribable.

She has experienced so much in her life. She was originally a princess of the Yan Kingdom, and later moved to the Zhao Kingdom with her relatives. She followed Emperor Zhao through ups and downs and experienced many hardships. She later became the queen and the empress dowager. Countless honors and disgrace accompanied her throughout her life. .

We are all old and have nothing to ask for. We thought we could die here, but our children and grandchildren are dying, dying, and running away. The family is really ruined.

Now, she only hopes that her living children and grandchildren can live well, and she has nothing else to ask for.

The writing on the white back gradually fades, which is time-sensitive. In order to keep it confidential, it can only be seen for a short period of time. After that, it will not appear again if it is wiped with water. He was so careful because Hai Wuji was afraid that his mother would not be able to deal with the aftermath and would be discovered.

After the handwriting had completely faded, Shang Youlan wiped away her tears, then took a dry towel and carefully wiped the water stains on her white back.

After putting the towel away, he carefully rolled up the scroll and put it back into the pile of gifts.

I patted my chest and looked around, then walked to the dressing table, fearing that anyone would notice if I cried or wore makeup.

My eyes were not in good condition, so I bent over, put my face close to the mirror, and touched up my makeup a little bit, which was usually taken care of by someone.

After finishing everything, I tried to calm down my emotions, and then I opened the door and went out.

Today was her birthday, and it would be a bad idea not to show up for a long time. She was afraid of arousing suspicion when reading letters at night.

As soon as she left, the person hiding in the cabinet in the corner turned around, opened the trap, pushed open the secret door on the wall and left...

In a pawn shop in the city, a clerk came to the secret room, met with the shopkeeper, and reported: "Confirmed, Shang Youlan received another secret letter this year."

The shopkeeper, who was writing and drawing at his desk, asked, "Have you noticed the person who presented the painting?"

The clerk replied: "Look, there is another person who sent the paintings this year. It is Governor Cheng of Changtian County. According to the secret investigation, it seems that Governor Cheng did not know that there was something wrong with the paintings he sent."

The shopkeeper: "It's true that centipede insects are dead but not stiff. It seems that there are still many remnants of Zhao State here. He can't send that painting for no reason. Who presented it, or who reminded him, if there is neither , it depends on who has come into contact with that painting.”

The clerk said: "As soon as I got the list of paintings and calligraphy in the gift, I immediately focused on it and found that the teacher in the county governor's house was suspicious. According to the investigation, he was the one who reminded me to send the paintings. Now, do we want to arrest him and interrogate him?"

The shopkeeper suddenly stopped writing, raised his head and said: "Don't act rashly! The reason why I didn't arrest Shang Youlan is because I know that arresting her would be useless. Hai Wuji must have measures to prevent people from following the clues. Once he arrests someone rashly, he will immediately If you alert the enemy, it will be difficult to find him again."

The clerk said: "But the teacher acted like a normal person and didn't find any sign of passing on the message."

The shopkeeper said: "Keep an eye on him. He doesn't look at anyone the right way. Even if he smells like a fart, you have to record it for me to sort out."

"Everyone who comes into contact with suspicious persons, no matter how wide the scope is, must be closely monitored and must not be easily alerted."

"If it doesn't work in one year, keep an eye on it for two years. If it doesn't work in two years, keep an eye on it for ten years. In short, the target must be found in the end."

"As long as Hai Wuji still has ears and eyes outside and wants to get news from the outside, that's fine. That's the tail that can't be hidden."

"Now the higher-ups are sorting out Zhao's original intelligence network. All aspects, both overt and covert, plus our combined efforts, will form an all-round investigation and we will definitely be able to uncover clues."

"And we already have major clues in front of us. No matter who sent the paintings last year or this year, they will all be watched for a long time. If a line is exposed, we will keep an eye on it. Sooner or later, there will always be a connection. As long as we keep a long eye on it, If you keep persevering, you will be able to find his online presence, and if you keep an eye on him all the way, you will be able to find the target!"

"You should know what I mean above. I will give you as much material, financial, and human resources as you need. I will satisfy you all!"

…

"Xiao Tianzhen? Hai Ruyue's former sick son?"

In the secret room of Nanzhou, Niu Youdao was greatly surprised when he heard the report.

Guan Fangyi nodded, "There should be no mistake. Besides Hai Ruyue's son, who else can Xiao Tianzhen be next to the ghost doctor?"

Niu Youdao lingered, "I personally checked Xiao Tianzhen's body, and it is not suitable for cultivation at all. Even if he can cultivate, he has only practiced for a few years, and he can beat Yu Cang without the power to parry with one strike. This is a bit incredible."

Guan Fangyi: "The ghost doctor's medical skills are beyond the capabilities of human beings. It's not surprising what he did to Xiao Tianzhen. Besides, the names on the list of pills announced by Piao Miao Pavilion should not be wrong. If they are unclear, they should not be released easily. , once it is announced, there should be no mistakes.”

Niu Youdao stopped slowly, "Piaomiao Pavilion is really pervasive. It seems that there are people from Piaomiao Pavilion around the ghost doctor."

Guan Fangyi: "Why? Is it because Piao Miao Pavilion knows Xiao Tianzhen's name?"

Niu Youdao shook his head slightly: "In just a few years, Xiao Tianzhen has achieved such a level of cultivation. Who else can believe it? How could Piaomiao Pavilion announce the ranking of the pill list so quickly without any suspicion? This shows that Piaomiao Pavilion has known something for a long time. The Ghost Doctor's method of improving a person's cultivation level so quickly is truly terrifying. How could it not cause Piaomiao Pavilion to be alarmed? There was no response from Piaomiao Pavilion, and the Ghost Doctor dared to bring it out openly. This only shows that it is not enough for Piaomiao Pavilion. Maybe everything is under the control of Piao Miao Pavilion."

Guan Fangyi nodded slightly thoughtfully.

Niu Youdao turned around and said: "There are a few things now. Let's implement them as soon as possible. Contact the Holy Land and ask if they know about the ghost doctor."

"Second, I can think of the ghost doctor thing, and Shao Pingbo will definitely think of it. I wonder if he has any thoughts about Wu Xin. Contact Jia Wuqun and let him keep an eye on it. If Shao Pingbo wants to play, let Jia Wuqun play with him. I I don’t have time to deal with it.”

"Third, contact Monkey. I'm going to take him on a trip, make an appointment with him, and ask him to keep it confidential."

Guan Fangyi could still understand the monkey thing, but Guan Fangyi asked suspiciously: "What does it take to meet the monkey?"

Niu Youdao found that this woman had more problems than Yunji, so Yunji would not ask too many nonsense questions, "Judging from the news from Zhao Xiongge, Monkey's situation with the Demon Sect should have stabilized. I want to go with him." A journey into the endless desert.”

Guan Fangyi was curious, "What are you going for?"

Niu Youdao: "I want to see what is in the boundless desert."

As for the humiliation of Yu Cang, he didn't care much at all. For outsiders, this kind of thing cannot be sympathized with, and at most he would laugh it off. It is a personal matter, and no one would think about this kind of thing all day long. On the contrary, the person involved might think about it. Being unable to think clearly leads to feeling resentful.

…

Ice and Snow Pavilion, standing on the railing of the pavilion like a jade tree in the wind, Chuan Ying looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, with worry flashing from time to time in her expression.

Xue Luo'er, who was walking towards him with a baby in his arms, came to his side, but he didn't even notice.

Staring at his handsome profile, Xue Luo'er, who looked quite demure, asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

After hearing the sound and coming back to her senses, Chuan Ying turned around, looked at her and smiled, then looked at the child in her arms, "Are you asleep?"

"Well!" Xue Luoer stared lovingly at the pink baby, then raised her head and asked, "What's wrong with you recently? I always feel like you have something on your mind?"

Chuan Ying shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events."

Xue Luo'er asked with concern: "Are there any rumors again? Let's live our own lives and ignore those gossips."

She knew some of the rumors, saying that her husband relied on women and was a love interest.

She didn't care much about some unpleasant words. She also knew in her heart that she wouldn't be able to get this man if it weren't for her status, but she was afraid that Chuanying would think too much about it.

Chuan Ying still shook her head, "It's really nothing. I just stayed here for a long time and was thinking about going out for a walk."

Xue Luo'er smiled: "It's boring to stay here for a long time. If you want to go out for a walk, just go for a walk."

Chuan Ying smiled gracefully and put her arms around mother and daughter. The sadness in her heart was hard to understand. Do she really want to go out for a walk?

He didn't want to go out and walk around, he just wanted to stay here quietly. If he could spend the rest of his life like this, there would be nothing wrong with it.

But the tree wanted to be calm but the wind was not stopping. The person behind it suddenly sent a message that there was a new task for him, asking him to borrow South Korea's national artifact, the Mountain and River Cauldron.

How can South Korea easily come up with this kind of thing? He was afraid that he would attract the attention of the Nine Saints accidentally. What would happen if Granny Xue found out his identity?

In the past, he would have carried it out without hesitation, but in front of him, with the birth of a baby, many of his original thoughts had changed, and he was suddenly afraid.

This mission came not only because of this mission, but there may be other missions in the future. There will always be a day when he makes a mistake. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, filling his heart with all kinds of inexplicable fears about the future.

PS: Thanks to "Aslan" for the two little red flowers.
