"Little Marquis, there is something wrong with this. This is a national talent promotion ceremony. If you interfere at will..." Gao Yaochen was a little hesitant. This crime can be big or small. If it is a big deal, even the little Marquis cannot bear it.

"... Do as I say." Fang Zhen took a look and saw that he was not that unwise. The book had already been handed over, so it was reckless to think that Examination Topper was related to bloodline identification. He smiled faintly and said, "The Daoist official named Cao Yiyan also checked for me to see who he is. If you follow him closely, you may be able to get some clues."

"Cao Yiyan's whereabouts are mysterious. Once he appeared at the city gate, he was never found again, and he didn't know where he went." Gao Yaochen hesitated. "If we want to check him, we will not only need Dao Register Office's cooperation, but also the alchemist's action."

"Alchemist?" Fang Zhen pondered for a moment and sneered, "Forget it, those alchemists are all very noble. If you can't use them, don't use them."

"I don't believe it. If the government leaves them, Crown Prince Bloodline will not be found." Fang Zhen smiled. Seeing that Gao Yaochen was about to go out to work, he added, "No one will leak the list of these eleven people, right?"

Gao Yaochen smiled, "This is related to Crown Prince Bloodline. Our participation is a huge trust. How dare we forget about profit and play with our lives?"

"I know you don't know how, but I want you to be careful." Fang Zhen closed the fan subconsciously. "Some people don't want us to go smoothly in this matter."

Gao Yaochen couldn't help but shudder. Knowing that he was talking about Prince Qi and Prince Shu, he didn't dare to answer and left.

Cao Yiyan, who was being discussed, appeared on the shore of the Coiling Dragon River. It was almost May, and the weather was getting hotter. Cao Yiyan walked along the street and turned to a hotel. There was a big willow tree in front of the door with traces of a rope, which was used when boats were moored.

Cao Yiyan He counted lightly with his fingers, then smelled it, with a sneer on his face.

"Hmph, Demon Fox, I was also surprised that you suddenly lost your breath. Even if I searched for you, there was no trace. But you were well hidden and I found you."

"If there is one, there are two, hehe, Fiend, let me see if you can escape again and again. Humph, you ruined my plan and slaughtered only one Fox. How can you relieve the hatred in my heart?"

"I must catch you all and skin them one by one, so that I can feel at ease!" Cao Yiyan was furious, and someone came over from the opposite side. He was wearing a starched white cloth, holding a fan in his hand, raised his head, and met Cao Yiyan's eyes with a slight chin.

Cao Yiyan was startled, then followed him, but entered the west wing through the side door, and entered a guest room. The space was not large, and a wooden couch occupied half of the room. When the man entered the room, he said, "Left Azure-Void Lang, the prince has an order to deal with the eleven people on this list."

As he said that, he threw a piece of paper.

Cao Yiyan took it and looked at it. The handwriting on the note was very sloppy, but he could still read it clearly. He immediately asked, "They are all Examination Student, how to solve them? Kill them or..."

"Can't kill." Buyi immediately shook his head. "It will cause trouble for the prince."

Many people always think that the prince kills people without restraint, but they don't expect that if this is the case, political opponents and other princes will laugh out loud - this is simply an excuse to attack.

Buyi said, "No matter if you are an official or anything else, as long as you lose your appearance, you will not be able to achieve anything."

"You can just find some gangsters who broke their legs or scratched their faces in a fight or accident. They are not lieutenant colonels in the army. With these scars, they will never get ahead in life - in fact, even if they are lieutenant colonels in the army, they can't get ahead. It's not war time anymore."

Cao Yiyan Listen, Momo said, yes, it is true that the injury is on the body, but if it is on the face, or the person is lame, he will not be promoted even in wartime.

Has there ever been a lame general since ancient times?

Not to mention civil servants.

"This kind of accident, even if it is investigated and dealt with, will only last for one or two years. It is a small matter and has no future troubles. It is really smart. I will handle it now." Left Azure-Void Lang This Eighth Rank official was given by the prince. After Cao Yiyan took this position, he was the prince's disciple. He had to work hard, but he felt a little chilly in his heart.

This method is so cruel and effective. If the mistresses learn it, the lame or disfigured bastards will be in trouble for the rest of their lives, even if they have great abilities.

"It's just that the lower official caught up with the fox demon..."

"The fox demon is just a small matter, this is the overall situation, you should know it." Bu Yi said coldly.

"... I understand." After he resigned and went out, Cao Yiyan looked forward. It was already dusk, and the blood-red sunset gradually turned into iron gray.

Fox's matter is very important, and he is very interested in what Fox hides. However, although this matter is trivial, it is equally important. He cannot neglect Prince Qi now, let alone break up with Prince Qi.

"Royal Dragon Fighting is really the same. Even the slightest hidden danger must be removed." Cao Yiyan lowered his eyelids and suddenly coughed repeatedly, his throat became sweet, he coughed up blood, and his face suddenly turned pale.

The backlash is really terrible, and it lasts for a long time, and Cao Yiyan becomes more and more interested.

"Mr. Du, Xiyan are back?"

Du Chenglin got out of the painting boat and returned to his temporary residence. As soon as he sat down, with a gust of fragrant wind, a young woman's skirt moved slightly and she opened the door and came in.

At this time, Linhua County Hu Family people are still alive, so they will definitely recognize that this young woman is none other than the second wife of the Hu Family who disappeared in "Heavenly Fire".

She still had black hair all over her head, and her appearance was outstanding, but her slender jade hands were wrapped in medicine, and her body had a medicinal smell hidden in the fragrance.

"Ashamed!" Du Chenglin sighed, "Although Brother Yu arrived at Huafang, he failed to help Third Sister."

"Isn't Xiyan on the boat?" The beautiful woman looked ugly and her body was shaky. "Impossible, I shouldn't make mistakes in my divination skills, especially in predicting Xiyan's whereabouts. As a member of my clan, I shouldn't make mistakes."

"Third sister misunderstood." Du Chenglin hurriedly explained, "I did meet Xiyan, more than once, in the hotel, but Xiyan didn't want to come with me, so I had no choice but to give up."

"Can you tell what she is doing?" Third Aunt Hu frowned slightly.

Du Chenglin shook his head. "She was lying in the arms of a girl in the shape of a fox. I only had time to communicate with her for a moment, and then she stopped responding."

"Fox-shaped? Could it be that he was injured too much and his Daoist body was cut off?"

Third Aunt Hu listened and thought secretly, "But in this case, shouldn't she return Green Hill quickly to recover, but why doesn't she want to come back?"

Xiyan has always been sensible, so it was her suggestion to go separate ways. Now that she has met Du Chenglin, she should know that this is the best opportunity to come back.

Why would she rather stay with a human girl than look back? Could it be that the girl has some secret?

Third Aunt Hu As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of this.

Is it a destined person?

No, it's impossible. The oath back then was clearly Fox Marriage Oath, and it didn't refer to the marriage of a fox. The destined person definitely couldn't be a woman.

"Xiyan was rescued by someone, or he planned to return after repaying his kindness, or he had other plans. I think the girl has a simple and kind temperament, so there is no need to worry when you are around her." Du Chenglin saw Third Aunt Hu thinking deeply and said softly.

Du Chenglin is Chess Sage, how can you play guidance chess in Prefectural Examination?

I just received the entrustment and observed it closely. Now that I have played half a game of chess, my love for talents has made Du Chenglin have a good impression of Ye Buhui.

"Huh, there are no rules like this. Even if something happens, you have to tell her. If I weren't recovering from my injuries, I would have to go and bring her back in person!" With a hint of anger on his face, Third Aunt Hu rolled his eyes and said bitterly.
