"Mr. Li, is this your room?"
Taoist nun Xie Ying looked at Li Zhen’s study room, then looked at the yard outside the window, and smiled and said, “It’s very quiet, better than the place where I practiced in Shangqing Palace.”
"It turns out that Taoist nun is practicing in Shangqing Palace, I don't know what it is called?" Li Quan brought two cups of tea into Li Zhen's study. Although she was smiling on her face, she was alert in her eyes.
Li Quan has never heard of his brother knowing a female Taoist nun. This female Taoist nun is very young and looks good, so why not just beg for his brother!
Xie Yingshi smiled and said, "I said Xie Ying, you are Mr. Li's eldest sister! I heard him talk about you."
"So it's Master Xie. Is there anything wrong with coming to see my brother so late?"
Li Zhen's face was a little hot. It was late, but it was dark early. It was still dusk, so how did the eldest sister speak.
"Big sister, Taoist Xie is a friend of Master Ayan. She has something to come to me."
"Oh! It turns out that he is a friend of Miss Di's master. Miss Di is good. You guys talk! I'll cook some good tea for you." Li Quan laughed dryly and turned around and left.
Xie Ying sat down and smiled and said, "Young Master Li, your eldest sister loves you very much!"
"Hey! I've been like this since I was a child, and I want to tie me to her and keep an eye on her every step," Li Zhen said a little unhappy.
"Young Master Li, it is your blessing to have such an elder sister."
Li Zhen didn't want to talk about his eldest sister's affairs, but the topic changed: "My brother-in-law's affairs and his eldest sister's wine shop have something to do with you!"
Xie Ying smiled but did not answer, took out a jade box and placed it on the table, "Last time in Chang'an, we should ask the young master to go there directly, without using some tricks. My master apologized to the young master. This is her wish, I hope the young master will accept it with a smile!"
Xie Ying opened the jade box and inside it turned out to be a pair of oval jade pendants, one white and one green, as white as cut fat and green as green feathers. Xie Ying pushed the jade box to Li Zhen, "This is a pair of Hetian jade chalcedony. It was given to my master two years ago. My master gave it to my master."
Li Zhen picked it up gently and saw a white jade carved dragon and a green jade carved phoenix. Both jade pendants were crystal clear and fine, without any trace of variegated color. He even felt warmth when he held it in the palm of his hand. Although he didn't understand jade, he could also see that this was a pair of top-quality jade pendants, which made him love it.
Although Shangguan Wan'er is powerful, she can put down her figure and please her, and even apologize for cheating her into Chang'an, which made Li Zhen feel much more comfortable.
Xie Ying smiled again and said, "Originally, my master decided to visit the young master in person tonight, but he was called by the emperor for some reason. She had to ask me to express her gratitude to the young master on her behalf, thanking her for taking Yu Linglong out of Ziyun Underground Palace for her."
Li Zhen took the jade pendant and asked again with a smile: "I have always been puzzled. Why did Shangguan Sheren go to get a night pearl? She is not like a greedy person. Is that night pearl very important?"
At this time, Xie Ying took out a soft green silk brocade box from his bag and carefully opened the box. It turned out to be a bead the size of a chicken egg, which was in the shape of a water droplet, emitting a faint light under the light.
Li Zhen's heart moved, and he turned his head and blew out the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became pitch black. The bead gradually became brighter and brighter, emitting bright white light, lighting the entire room.
Li Zhen was very shocked. This was the night pearl, a rare treasure in the legend. After a while, he lit up the light again, and the night pearl quickly dimmed under the light.
Xie Ying said lightly: "This night pearl is called 'water bead', worth billions of yuan, but my master is not greedy for this bead. This bead is related to what she asked the young master to do. Do you want to listen?"
Li Zhen nodded, "If the Taoist nun is willing to say it, Li Zhen listens with ease."
Xie Ying was overjoyed, which meant that Li Zhen accepted Shangguan Wan'er's entrustment.
She sorted out her thoughts and said slowly: "I once told the young master that the Seal Palace originally had the private seals of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, but the Taiji Palace was abandoned, so twenty years ago, Emperor Gaozong sent someone to take the seals out of the underground palace and invite them back to Luoyang.
However, according to the rule that one must put something, Emperor Gaozong put an equally precious treasure into the two jade linglongs in the underground palace. One is the Jade Pillow of the Fairy. It is said that it can travel around the world when sleeping, and the other is this night pearl. My master just wants this night pearl."
At this time, Li Quan brought in two cups of freshly fried fragrant tea, "This is Mengding tea sent from Wangchun Tea House, you can try it!"
She put two cups of tea on the table, but saw Ye Mingzhu on the table at first sight, and was stunned for a moment, "A Zhen, what is this?"
Xie Ying hurriedly winked at Li Zhen and told him not to say it. Li Zhen understood and smiled and said, "Sister, this is a sea pearl."
"It turns out it's Sea Pearl, it's quite big, and it's also available in Nanshi."
Li Zhen took out the jade pendant again, "This is the beautiful jade I bought in Chang'an. Xie Daogu brought it to me from Chang'an."
Li Quan was not interested in Haizhu. She glanced at a pair of jade pendants in Li Zhen's hand. Her eyes lit up. She put down the beads, picked up the jade pendant, looked at the jade pendant carefully, and exclaimed: "This is Hetian jade! I have never seen such a good jade. The Hetian jade sold in Dunhuang used to be far worse than it."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "If sister likes it, I will give it to you."
"Do you really give it to me?" Li Quan said in surprise.
Li Zhen nodded with a smile, "I'll give it to my sister!"
Li Quan thought about it, but returned the jade to Li Zhen, "If you give it to me, you will definitely be attracted by your brother-in-law. Such a good jade, of course, you have to give it to my brother. Keep it well and use it as a betrothal gift when you get married, so that you can be faced."
Li Quan was relieved. It seemed that this Taoist nun didn't want to use female sex to seduce her brothers. She stopped disturbing them and turned around and left.
"Master Xie, why can't my sister know that this is the Night Pearl?" Li Zhen asked in confusion.
Xie Ying sighed slightly, "If she knew that this was Ye Mingzhu, once she said it, it would bring her life to death."
"Please continue to say it!"
"There is a woman in the palace who is very powerful. She dreams of getting this night pearl. Guess who it is?"
Li Zhen thought for a while, a woman covered in jewelry appeared in his mind, and he blurted out, "Wei Tuaner!"
Xie Ying laughed in admiration, "I am worthy of being the one my master likes. I am really smart. How did you think of it?"
Li Zhen's thoughts were very fast. When he thought of something again, he smiled and said, "Because you told me that the fish-pin dragon also wants to enter the Ziyun Pavilion Underground Palace."
"Not bad! It's Wei Tuaner, who is born with a jewellery. Through various means, she doesn't know how many treasures she has collected, and even many of the jewels of the saint disappeared mysteriously. Many people also suspect that it was her doing it."
At this time, Li Zhen stared at Xie Ying with sharp eyes, as if he had seen through all her plans. After a moment of silence, Li Zhen slowly said: "Sheren Shangguan wants me to deal with Wei Tuaner for her. I'm right!"
Xie Ying's eyes flashed, avoiding Li Zhen's sharp eyes. Finally, she had to face the reality and said, "You are right, I might as well tell you that the Duantan case is related to Wei Tuan'er."
"Can you be sure?"
Xie Ying shook her head, "We are just speculating, there is no evidence!"
Li Zhen was silent, and for a moment he slowly said, "But... an ordinary commoner like me, can he be a rival to Wei Tuaner? Isn't it ridiculous to ask me to deal with Wei Tuaner?"
"In fact, it is not to let the young master deal with Wei Tuaner, but to hope that the young master will find Wei Tuaner's treasure house for us."
"Wei Tuaner still has a treasure house?" Li Zhen felt a little funny. Could it be another Ziyun Underground Palace?
"Of course, she has collected so many jewelry and cannot be stored in the palace. No one knows where she stores it? Please help us find it."
"Does Shangguan Sheren want to make a fortune?"
Xie Ying shook her head gently, "There is evidence to bring her down in the treasure house. As long as this treasure house can be found, Wei Tuaner will be finished."
Xie Ying took out two more bronze medals and placed them on the table. She pushed a bronze medal to Li Zhen and said with a smile: "The palace is being built, and a large number of craftsmen come in and out every day. With this bronze medal of craftsmen, the young master can enter and exit the palace at any time."
Li Zhen did not answer, and looked at another bronze medal, "Where is this?"
"This is the eighth-grade Qianniu, and you can also enter and exit the palace. Mr. Li will choose one by himself!"
Of course, Li Zhen would not choose a bronze medal for craftsmen. That was a self-deprecating identity. Even the temporary craftsman was not happy. The guard could barely accept it. He thought about it and smiled and said, "Let me consider the guard's plan! It came too suddenly."
"Of course, I'll listen to the news from the young master tomorrow."
Xie Ying smiled again and said, "What questions do you have in your mind?"
Li Zhen did have another puzzlement. He hesitated and asked: "Wei Tuaner also has a confidant palace maid! I think we can find the treasure place through her confidant palace maid. Now he still needs my help. Is there such trouble?"
Xie Ying shook her head, "If it's easy, you won't need your help. We have our people around Wei Tuaner, but after checking for a year, there is still no clue."
Xie Ying sighed again, "November ago, the East Palace was searched and there were a lot of jewelry on the list. My master suspected that it was taken away by Wei Tuaner, but he did not see her leave the palace. To be honest, we were also confused."
"Why would Wei Tuaner have to want this night pearl?"
Xie Ying sneered: "The emperor also had a necklace of night pearls, but he disappeared unexpectedly five years ago. In order to find it, many palace maids and eunuchs were executed, but in the end they were left alone, but there was a key mother bead missing on the string of night pearls."
Li Zhen picked up the night pearl from the table and stared at it for a moment, feeling enlightened in his eyes.
......
At the same time when Xie Ying visited Li Zhen, in the mansion of Yupinlong in Mingyifang, twenty healthy women dragged the Yupinlong, who was still healing, from the room. The arrow wound was cracked and blood gushed out, causing the fishpinlong to howl like a pig.
On the steps, Wei Tuaner, surrounded by several guards, stared at the fish dragon dragged out with murderous intent. Wei Tuaner's face turned pale, murderous intent burst out in her eyes, and she shouted like crazy: "Bare me, beat this bastard to death!"
The healthy women swung sticks to beat Yupinlong's back, legs and wounds. Yupinlong rolled on the ground and cried, begging desperately, "Give me aside! Aunt, spare me!"
Wei Tuaner was so angry that she was going crazy. Not only did Yu Pinlong not get her the Night Pearl, but she also lost more than a dozen elite players.
What made her even more unacceptable was that when Yupinlong went to the underground palace the next day, she found that the underground palace had been destroyed and someone had entered the underground palace, which was very likely to have taken away the night pearl she had dreamed of.
All Wei Tuaner's dissatisfaction and anger were vented on this incompetent man, "Beat! Beat him to death!" She jumped and pointed at Yu Pinlong and cursed.
In the end, Yupinlong's plea became less and less, and he slowly stopped moving. Seeing that someone was about to die, a guard hurriedly rushed to Wei Tuaner and whispered: "Girl, he is going to die!"
Wei Tuaner also saw that the fish-picking dragon was no longer able to do so, so she shouted, "Stop!"
The sticks of the healthy women finally stopped. Wei Tuaner slowly walked forward. Seeing that Yu Pinlong was covered in blood and his breath was weak, she kicked him hard again, turned around and ordered: "Wang An!"
The guards just now hurried forward, "I'm in a humble position!"
Wei Tuaner said coldly: "Continue to find Ye Mingzhu's whereabouts. If you dare not work hard, he will be your end."
Wang An was so scared that his whole body trembled and bowed and said, "As for the order of humble duty!"
Wei Tuaner snorted heavily, turned around and left, "Return to the palace!"
A group of healthy women and maids surrounded her and left the Yupinlong Mansion to return to the palace. Wang An glanced at the terrible Yupinlong on the ground, sighed softly, shook his head, and left quickly.
Until everyone was exposed, the maid and Shutong in Yupinlong's mansion carried Yupinlong back to the house with all his might. Shutong ran to the doctor to come for treatment.
