Yan Huazhang grabbed a man who was queuing at the city gate and asked, "Excuse me, sir. May I ask what happened in Sayuan City? Why is there such a strict curfew at the city gate?"
Upon hearing this, the official immediately said with a bitter face, "Why else? It's just to catch the assassin who tried to kill His Majesty! Daxia has been under martial law for several days, but there is still no progress."
"Could you please tell me more specifically? What's the situation in Kyoto now?" Yan Huazhang continued to ask.
The man looked at him suspiciously and said hesitantly, "You don't know anything about this old girl? Did you just come back from abroad?"
Yan Huazhang coughed lightly and nodded in agreement.
"I see. Well, the details of His Majesty's death in the attack have not been released in Kyoto. They have only ordered a nationwide curfew and a blanket check of people entering and leaving. Although there has been no dispute in Kyoto for the time being, anyone with a keen eye can see that it has been a mess for a long time. I wonder how Her Highness Changzhu is doing? She is now the only royal family in Daxia. It would be great if she could come back to take charge of the situation."
This man was a man of insight, and he explained the situation clearly in just a few words.
Yan Huazhang bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Master! I have benefited a lot from your advice."
At this time, the team had advanced more than halfway, and Yan Huazhang discovered with his sharp eyes that the inspection process at the city gate was actually very strict. It was also necessary to check the pass of people entering the city.
This is equivalent to an identity token!
He and Zhuxiang, one cannot reveal his identity, and the other is not from Daxia at all. What should he do?
Just when Yan Huazhang was frowning, Zhuxiang came over.
"Brother Bao Shi, what are you worried about? Why are you frowning?" Zhu Xiang asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Huazhang cautiously sent a message to Zhu Xiang: "The inspection at the city gate is too strict. I'm afraid we won't be able to sneak through."
"Can't we let them question us?"
"cannot."
Zhu Xiang's big eyes rolled around, and then she said in a voice transmission: "Then don't let them investigate. We in the Zhu family are the best at illusion. Just wait for me. I guarantee that they won't be able to threaten us."
Yan Huazhang's eyes lit up.
Illusion? That's a really good idea. I didn't expect this crazy girl to be reliable sometimes.
Soon, it was their turn to be questioned.
There seemed to be starlight flashing in Zhuxiang's big eyes, which inexplicably added a sense of mystery to her.
As these starlights appeared, the soldiers in front of them trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal. Therefore, no one noticed.
"There is no problem with the pass, let us pass!"
The soldier looked at the two passes Yan Huazhang took out and didn't find any problems.
The two men swaggered into the city under the eyes of a group of soldiers.
"How is it? My mirage is amazing, right?" Zhuxiang looked like he was asking for praise.
Yan Huazhang could only laugh when he saw this. This girl really has the mentality of a child.
"Well, very good!" As a child, just stroke the fur.
"Wow! Sayuan City is beautiful. Although the architectural style looks similar to that of Xilin City, the feeling it gives people is completely different. Xilin City is ancient and vicissitudes of life, but here is obviously prosperous and grand."
Although Zhuxiang was chattering and looked excited, she was still very smart and used voice transmission instead of directly saying the three words "Xilin City".
"Brother Bao Shi, I want that jade pendant so badly! It's so terrible to see it! Oh no, I'm going to die. Only that jade pendant can save my life."
Zhuxiang saw a jade pendant at a roadside stall, and then refused to buy it, clamoring to buy it.
Yan Huazhang's eyelids twitched wildly at her sudden jewelry obsession.
This girl really doesn't stand being praised. She has only been reliable for a short while, but she is immediately back to her original form.
"What are you buying? The mission isn't even finished yet. Hurry up."
Yan Huazhang pulled her arm hard, but failed to move it.
"I don't want to! I know you are the richest. Can you help me buy some? I can exchange the things in my storage ring with you. Except for jewelry, anything is fine!"
Zhuxiang hugged Yan Huazhang's thighs tightly and begged bitterly.
Damn it! If she didn't have the currency of Daxia, she wouldn't have to be so passive. When she has time, she must exchange some currency for backup.
"You really are... huh? Why does this jade pendant look so familiar? Boss! How much is it? I'll buy it."
Yan Huazhang originally wanted to refuse the candlestick incense, but was shocked by the appearance of the jade pendant.
If he was not mistaken, the owner of the jade pendant was none other than Qi He, the general of Saxi Prefecture. This person was in charge of the military affairs of the entire Saxi Prefecture and was the top military official in Saxi Prefecture who had the final say.
Back then, when he was still the Prime Minister in Kyoto, he had met Qi He once, and he was wearing this jade pendant at that time.
But why did this jade pendant appear on a roadside stall? Could it be that Qi He had met with an accident?
"You have a good eye, my son! This jade pendant of mine has an extraordinary origin. It was bought from a powerful person in a true fairyland..."
"Okay, save me the bullshit and just tell me how much it costs."
Because of his anxiety, Yan Huazhang interrupted his boss's endless talk without any hesitation.
The boss smiled awkwardly and said, "One thousand gold coins, no bargaining!"
Yan Huazhang nodded and gave the money very readily. The boss also took the money and the goods happily.
"Boss, I have bought everything. Can you tell me exactly where the base of this jade pendant came from?" Yan Huazhang asked casually.
The boss counted the money with a smile on his face and said, "I picked it up. It's at the side door of the Gui Family Villa in the south of the city."
"Thank you for letting me know, boss!"
Yan Huazhang turned around and prepared to rush to the villa, but he didn't even move his legs.
"Zhuxiang! Why are you still holding my thigh? Let go!" Yan Huazhang's face turned red.
Zhuxiang said aggrievedly: "You are bullying me! I was the one who saw that girl first. How could you snatch her away? That's too much!"
"Get up quickly. This jade pendant is of temporary use to me. I'll give it to you when I'm done using it." Yan Huazhang said with a red face.
"Really? You're so stupid!"
Zhuxiang's expression changed very quickly. She was about to cry in the previous second, and in the next second she was so happy that she wanted to kiss Yan Huazhang.
Fortunately, the latter has developed the ability to react like a baby, and will not be easily taken advantage of.
After settling the problem with Zhuxiang, Yan Huazhang finally arrived at the place his boss mentioned.
"Brother Baoshi, what are we doing here? When will you give me the jade pendant?" Zhuxiang asked with starry eyes.
Yan Huazhang couldn't help but stretched out his index finger to poke her forehead, and said helplessly: "You came here to complete the mission. Also, how many times have I answered this question along the way? I'll give it to you when I'm done. Would I cheat again? Wait a moment."
Zhuxiang nodded obediently, but her eyes were only fixed on the jade pendant in Yan Huazhang's hand.
This girl! Not long ago, he said that his eyes were more beautiful than tears. She is so easily bored with the old and love the new!
Yan Huazhang gritted his teeth secretly, feeling quite aggrieved.
Forget it, let's just do the main thing first. Now that we have the distribution location and medium, it's time for his Dao Soul to play a role.
