Guess? When Ji Ruxue heard Jiang Erlang's words, the scene when she met Jiang Erlang in Huai'an County flashed in her mind, and a smile appeared on her lips involuntarily.

The experience in Huai'an County... made her feel comfortable.

At least, that's what she felt.

However, only she and Yan Yu knew about the scroll. Ji Ruxue's intelligence made her vaguely feel that there was something wrong with this matter.

Therefore, she still asked her doubts: "Oh? How did you guess it? Erlang, why don't you tell me?"

"It's actually simple." Jiang Erlang leaned back: "When I was in Hanzhong County, I found out that the Southern Territory had learned about the arrival of Yinghuo Shouxin a month ago.

And now, I have learned about the fact that Yan Yu colluded with Nanyu, so it is clear who informed Nanyu about the arrival of Yinghuo Shouxin."

Ji Ruxue nodded and did not deny: "You are right, the time when Yinghuo Shouxin comes is indeed very likely to be reported to the Southern Territory by senior brother."

"Then, there is a question here." Jiang Erlang continued: "How could Yan Yu guess that Yinghuo Shouxin was coming? It should be impossible to know based on his strength. After all, not even Master and Meng Xingchen could

It was calculated accurately, so I had a guess."

"Oh? What guess?"

"In the three hundred years of the Qin Dynasty's history, I guess the only person who can accurately predict Yinghuo Shouxin is the winning half-son back then!"

"That's it." Ji Ruxue nodded: "So, you guessed that Mr. Ying must have been to Guigu, and that he had a certain 'deal' with the master, but why did you guess that it was a

Second picture scroll?"

This is indeed a difficult question to explain...

However, Jiang Erlang had already prepared the answer: "My brother Jiang Chaoge told me that he went to the Southern Territory King's Palace to meet the Witch God not long ago."

"Jiang Chaoge went to see the Witch God?" Ji Ruxue was obviously a little surprised.

"Well, not only did he meet the Witch God, but he also brought out the Southern Territory Princess Lina. It was he who told me that Mr. Ying once left a picture scroll in this world, and this picture scroll has never been seen before.

Even the Witch God doesn’t know where it is, so it’s only Guigu that can keep it secret to this extent, right?”

"Erlang is still smart..." Ji Ruxue sighed and didn't ask any more questions: "Boss Ying did leave a picture scroll in Guigu, and the master also gave this picture scroll to me."

"The scroll is really in Miss Ji's hands?!" Jiang Erlang was a little excited.

"Yes, Master gave the Sky Star Lantern to Senior Brother, and then gave the scroll to me, with the intention of balancing each other. However, this scroll disappeared when I came out of the valley."

"What? The scroll is missing?"

"right."

"..."

Jiang Erlang was silent.

Naturally, he didn't think Ji Ruxue would lie to him.

However, who can steal the scroll from Ji Ruxue's hands?

Just thinking about it...

Ji Ruxue spoke again: "Now that you know that the scroll is not in my hand, do you still want me to send a message to Duke Di?"

"Haha, why not?" Jiang Erlang smiled.

"But, I don't have anything to trade with you." Ji Ruxue was very honest...

"It's just an excuse to make a deal or not." Jiang Erlang was also very honest: "Anyway, Miss Ji should know what I'm thinking."

"Want to marry me?" Ji Ruxue raised the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, Miss Ji proposed to me, and I really can't refuse." Jiang Erlang spread his hands.

"..." Ji Ruxue.

"So, when will we hold the wedding?" Jiang Erlang thought for a while and then said: "Otherwise, it will be scheduled on the eighth day of next month. I think it will be a good day?"

"You have a beautiful idea!" Ji Ruxue glared at Jiang Erlang fiercely: "If you want to marry me, unless you can become the best person in the world, it is absolutely impossible."

"Ms. Ji, don't you want me to be the emperor?"

"What, can't you do it?"

"I, Jiang Erlang, am loyal to the Qin Dynasty. How can I betray the country because of my children's affair? Miss Ji underestimates me. Besides, what's so good about being an emperor? I have to go to court every day, and there are three palaces and six courtyards. Every day is really tiring.

It’s better to just live in seclusion in this ghost valley and be at ease.”

"You...really think so?" Ji Ruxue was suddenly surprised.

"Of course." Jiang Erlang affirmed.

"Okay, if one day you can become the best in the world, and then you can put down your power and live in seclusion in the mountains, I will consider marrying you."

"Why do you still want to be the best in the world?" Jiang Erlang was a little confused.

"Because this is the oath I made in front of my father's mausoleum. Once I marry someone else, the bloodline of Dazhou will no longer exist. Therefore, this person can only be the best in the world, and he definitely cannot be the emperor of Daqin.

!”

"Can't marry the Emperor of Qin? Is it because Qin destroyed the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Um."

"I see."

Jiang Erlang finally understood this.

No wonder no one proposes marriage to Ji Ruxue. With this condition... who dares to propose marriage openly? It means that he has the ambition to overthrow the Qin Kingdom.

After Jiang Erlang thought for a while, he gave a new suggestion: "How about I get married?"

"It's possible, but that will have to wait until I have completely given up hope, or until I am half a year old." Ji Ruxue smiled slightly: "After all, my condition is that the first person in the world will be given priority.

Great Zhou Incense.”

"..." Jiang Erlang.

…

The negotiations eventually broke down.

No one can meet Ji Ruxue's conditions.

This is simply more outrageous than the sky-high price of the betrothal gift.

Jiang Erlang brought the topic back to the siege of the shallow rock beach: "Miss Ji should send a message to Duke Di Feige immediately. After all, the one hundred thousand soldiers in the shallow rock beach can't hold out much longer."

"Are you so sure that Buddhism will definitely agree?"

"Very sure."

"Okay, then I will... give it a try!" Ji Ruxue thought for a while and finally agreed: "If the crisis in Da Qin can really be solved, I still hope that Erlang can return to the Night Detective Division. After all,

With Erlang's intelligence... it would be a pity if he really lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests."

"I just think that if you can have a close friend in the mortal world, you can be free and happy. As for the disputes in the court, the wealth and power...the wealth left by the Great Zhou Dynasty, isn't it enough?"

"Erlang... is becoming more and more glib." Ji Ruxue rolled her eyes at Jiang Erlang and said nothing more, but her face turned red obviously...

Jiang Erlang was a little frightened when he saw it...

Ji Ruxue is the most beautiful!

Moreover, she has the best figure, plus she has a palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty as her family property. Who can resist such a hidden rich woman?

So, he said again: "Can I sleep in the valley at night?"

"Erlang can sleep wherever he wants." Ji Ruxue replied without thinking, but there was nothing unusual about this question.

After all, when Jiang Erlang was in the capital, he also lived in the Prince of Zhou's Mansion.

"Really? Then I want to sleep on...the bed?"

"Okay, I will let Bai Zi sleep with you."

"..." Jiang Erlang.

Bai Zi:???

…

Beijing.

A homing pigeon flew into the Night Reconnaissance Department.

Judge Dee sat on the desk, looking at the content transmitted by the carrier pigeon and lost in thought.

But soon, he stood up.

"Someone, please deliver this letter to the Prime Minister's house."

"yes!"

A night watchman responded and sent the letter brought by the carrier pigeon to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mr. Di, on the other hand, left the Night Detective Department directly, got on the carriage, and headed straight towards Ganquan Palace.
