Zhan Zhao and the others never expected that they would be in vain...the group of bats kept in the room were all gone.

Lin Yehuo was also a little puzzled, "Weren't they still there in the morning? There was a large group of them. Where did they go? Did they go for a walk?"

The Demon King touched his chin, also a little puzzled.

At this time, Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao and motioned him to look at the locked well in the yard.

At this moment, the manhole cover was indeed covered and the chain was locked, but it looked like it was just hanging around the well casually, and the two big locks used to lock the chain were opened and placed on the cover.

Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that the wellhead was open?

Zhan Zhao jumped into the yard, sat down and pulled away the things on the manhole cover, and opened the manhole cover.

I took a look into the well and saw that there was water in the well.

Bai Yutang also came down and took a look into the well. He didn't expect there to be water. If the bat flew away from the well, how could it fly when there was water?

Lin Yehuo curiously asked the Demon King, "Can bats swim?"

This also stumped the Demon King, "Maybe... I haven't studied this either."

"Where have those bats gone?" Zhao Pu felt that his right eyelid was twitching...Is something going to happen?

…

At the same time, in the palace.

Concubine Pang tried on the style of the cloak for the fourth son, and together with Xiao Xiangxiang, they swung a piece of red silk to test the feel of the cloak.

Concubine Pang felt that this material was a bit too heavy, and it might be better to make a cloak instead of a cloak.

While thinking about it, she picked up another piece of material and tried it.

Xiangxiang put down the red cloth in her hand and took a drink from her mother's teacup on the table.

After drinking the water, Xiangxiang put the cup on the table, which happened to hold down the corner of the red silk... As Concubine Pang pulled the silk... the cup overturned.

Xiangxiang didn't notice it either, so she ran to play with the little glutinous rice balls with the fourth child.

Concubine Pang wanted to ask Liangchenmei for her opinion, so she waved the silk to the children in the distance, thinking about which piece they wanted.

Following Concubine Pang's movements, the White Ghost King, who was sitting motionless, suddenly turned his head slowly and stared at the two pieces of red silk swaying in the air.

Almost at the same time, a "hoo" sound was heard.

The little maid who was about to help Concubine Pang saw a green flame bursting out of the silk, and then the fire suddenly became stronger and the whole piece of silk burned.

"oops!"

The maids screamed in fright, and Concubine Pang was also startled and subconsciously let go.

Nangong was nearby. He rushed over and protected Concubine Pang aside first.

Several maids took teapots and poured out the fire... But when two pots of tea were poured on it, the green flames on the silk were still burning brightly, showing no sign of going out.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about playing football anymore and ran back quickly.

Several old men were sitting at the table, frowning and looking at the silk burning with green flames on the ground - this, why did it feel so similar to some ghost car case that Zhan Zhao and the others were investigating before.

Yao Changtian stretched out his hand to rub his nose and said to himself, "...this is the smell."

White Dragon King and Lu Tianhan looked at each other, "Could it be..."

At this moment, Nangong was asking people to sweep all the burning silk together and try to destroy them with earth.

Originally, Nangong was a little worried because the flame was green, wondering if it would be poisonous.

But Gongsun and Xiaosizi looked calm, and he felt relieved.

Gongsun was pulling the green fire with a broom, "It's the same as those skulls... they can easily burn if exposed to wind or water, but it's all cold fire..."

Nangong frowned, these two pieces of red material were sent from Dali, what the hell is going on?

Feeling that something was wrong, Nangong wanted the emperor and concubine to go back first to avoid it.

But when I turned around, the couple was still acting out.

Zhao Zhen put one hand on his waist and the other on Concubine Pang, "Don't be afraid, Concubine! I'm here to protect you!"

Concubine Pang leaned against Zhao Zhen and nodded, "Yes!"

"Come! Hug!" Zhao Zhen reached out and gave her a princess hug.

Concubine Pang put her arms around Zhao Zhen's neck.

Xiao Xiangxiang clapped her hands beside her, "Father, Emperor! Brave!"

Zhao Zhen was so excited that he even hugged Concubine Pang and spun him around in circles. However, after spinning three times, he staggered. Nangong quickly went over to help him to prevent him from falling while holding Concubine Pang.

As soon as Zhao Zhen stood firm, he saw the White Ghost King suddenly raise his hand.

Nangong noticed that the White Ghost King waved his sleeves at him, seemingly asking him to lead the emperor away from the pond.

Nangong subconsciously picked up Xiangxiang and signaled Zhao Zhen to step back.

Zhao Zhen was a little confused, but he still followed Nangong back with Concubine Pang in his arms.

Others looked at the lotus pond behind Zhao Zhen... This is a pond in the palace...

Just as I was watching, I saw the calm water surface of the lotus pond suddenly "gurgled" and a bubble appeared.

Then a series of bubbles bubbled up, just like the water in the pool was boiling. Then, a little bit of light appeared faintly in the pool, and these lights were getting bigger and bigger.

Almost at the same time, I heard the Ouchi guard ambushing on the roof issuing a warning, "There is something coming up from the water!"

Following these words, a sound of water was heard, and green fireballs jumped out of the water one by one.

"Escort!" Nangong gave the order, and a large number of guards rushed in from all around.

Everyone who entered the door raised their heads...because the sky was now filled with a dense swarm of bats burning with green flames.

In the pitch-black night, the green balls of light are frightening to see.

The bats jumped out of the water and flew into the air, then turned around and dived down...

It was a trivial matter for the Ouchi guards to guard against an assassin or a rebel, but this was the first time they saw so many pigeon-sized bats.

However, Zhao Zhen was quite calm. He put Concubine Pang down first and waved to Nangong who was about to escort him into the house.

There are three old men in front. Zhao Zhen is not worried at all. Just one White Ghost King here is enough. Can these beasts hurt me? What's more, there are also Mr. Lu and the White Dragon King. It's a small scene.

.

Just as the White Ghost King was about to stretch out his hand, Gongsun pulled him and said, "Old man, help me keep one alive."

The White Ghost King looked at Lu Tianhan.

Mr. Lu raised his hand and raised his palm... with a bang, an icicle fell down.

Gongsun glanced at the three bats frozen in the icicles - his method was rougher than Bai Yutang's.

Gongsun picked up the icicle and nodded to the White Ghost King, indicating that it was okay...

The White Ghost King swept it up with a palm... In an instant, a layer of white mist appeared above. The bats plunged into the mist and never came out again.

The fog in the sky became thicker and thicker, and finally formed a blazing white flame.

At this time, Zhan Zhao and the others, who had missed the trip to the post house, also arrived.

Zhao Pu's right eyelid twitched, and he instinctively thought of Gongsun and his fourth son. Then he thought again, these two men should be in the palace now... Thinking of the Ninth Prince of the Palace, his scalp felt a little numb - not good!

When they arrived at the palace, they happened to see the white fireworks dissipating in the sky, and Zhao Zhen and a group of guards were applauding.

Zhan Zhao asked Nangong what happened just now.

Liangchen Meijing talked to Zhan Zhao with all kinds of words, and Xiao Liangzi mainly praised his master for how handsome he was.

"The fabric started to catch fire? Then the bats came up?" Bai Yutang looked at the material on the ground.

Gongsun was holding a piece of cloth and studying it. As expected, it was similar to the condition of the skull dug out of the ground. It caught fire when he shook it hard. It turned out that it was easier to pour water and shake it again.

Zhao Zhen put his hands on his waist and asked Nangong, "Where did this material come from as tribute?"

"Dali." Nangong replied.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Pu, "Bat too?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

"I'm so proud of those bastards..." Zhao Zhen was just about to start complaining when he saw Concubine Pang holding small glutinous rice balls and Xiang Xiang looking at him.

"Ahem." Zhao Zhen stopped talking and asked Concubine Pang to take the child back to rest.

Nangong and Ge Qing both looked into the lotus pond and couldn't figure out why the bat came up from the bottom of the pond. Even if the bat could swim, the pond was not connected to the rivers and lakes outside.

Zhao Pu took out the map he had drawn before and found that the palace area was not in the underground water pipeline map they drew, unless...

"This pool

This was a bit embarrassing for Nangong. He shook his head and said, “I’ve been drained before.

Zhan Zhao then asked how many bats had come in total, but no one could give an accurate number, and they would all die young in the end.

The White Ghost King spread his hands - he knows where to go.
To be continued...
