At midnight, the lights that had just been extinguished in Mo Pavilion were turned on again. Half an hour later, Gongsun Yan, who had not even had time to change out of his nightgown, walked into the deepest part of the cabinet with a serious look while holding a large stack of files. As soon as he entered, he first

When he saw Emperor Tianzun wearing a coat and frowning, he saw Xiao Yibai standing in front of the map of Feiyuan on the right, and finally he found the empress sitting in a dilemma by the window. Gongsun Yan was shocked and even basically

He forgot all the etiquette and just stood stupidly at the door for a long time, until Mingxi shouted to him several times and then quickly strode to put the file in front of him.

He couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. He had finished his work for the whole day before washing up and getting ready for bed. Before he even stepped onto the bed, he heard Ming Die's order, asking him to immediately send the files of Shanshi merchants to Mo Pavilion.

He had a good personal relationship with Mingxi, so he knew that such a secret order in the middle of the night must be of great importance. However, after he rushed here non-stop, why were Xiao Yibai and the Queen here?

Aying smiled awkwardly at him. After she came back from Tianzheng Mansion, she might have had some wine to get in the mood, but somehow she changed her direction and came to Mo Pavilion. This place was where all the ministers gathered during the day.

It was an important occasion to discuss the world's important affairs, but after the end of the dynasty, Emperor Tianzun always liked to rest alone in the small room of the cabinet for a while. Sometimes when it was too late, he would even sleep here directly. As expected, she opened the door.

Then she saw her husband who was reading a book. Although he looked sternly when he looked up at her, he didn't say anything in the end and handed her a cup of warm tea.

She sat next to her husband with a guilty conscience. According to the regulations, the queen could not interfere in the government affairs, and she should not break in without permission. However, Pavilion Master Xiao's words ignited a fire in her heart, making her forehead glow with enthusiasm.

After walking in, fortunately the busy emperor did not accuse her of anything. He smelled the smell of alcohol on her body and asked her with a giggle if she had gone to Tianzheng Mansion. She raised her head in surprise and suddenly caught a glimpse of the digit on her husband's thumb that had never been removed.

The jade ring finger that had been lowered slightly shone with a soft white light, and a familiar feeling came to my face.

But she knew that it was taboo and something that could not be mentioned, so she just talked to him about tonight's events. The emperor listened casually, as if he already knew everything, until more than a month ago

Hours ago, her husband, who was still talking to her, suddenly fell silent, then made a shushing gesture to her and sat silently for a long time. When his eyes narrowed again, his expression became extremely serious, and he

He seemed to have forgotten that his queen was still with him, so he directly took out a ghost butterfly from the drawer and sent an order to the Mirror Pavilion Master to come immediately.

However, the first person to come was not the mirror pavilion master, but Xiao Yibai, who had dinner with her not long ago. Obviously, he did not expect that the queen would be in Mo Pavilion. When Xiao Yibai came in, even the guards did not notice it. It was not so much that there was no notification.

She said that he had broken in without permission and seemed to appear out of thin air. She was stunned for a long time and could not recover. Compared with her shock, Emperor Tianzun's expression was ordinary and indifferent. The two of them turned to look at the queen at the same time, and then

He looked away tacitly.

From that moment on, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to leave but her husband waved his hand and stopped her, asking her to just wait aside.

Soon the Master of the Mirror Pavilion was ordered to come over. He hurriedly put down the file in his hand. Although he still glanced at the Queen by the window with doubts, the Emperor didn't speak and he didn't ask anything. He immediately picked up the pen next to the map.

He took several routes along the mountains and rivers of Dongming, and speeded up his speech to explain: "The mountains and seas are divided into sea cities and mountain cities. The sea cities surround Feiyuan. The voyage is about one week a year. The entire journey is carried out on the back of the giant turtle.

Sunk into the sea and parade, but the time and place of each docking must be approved by Mirror Pavilion, so it is easier to manage. Shanshi is slightly different. Its general route is along the Sanjiang River Basin of Dongming, and occasionally

There are also hundreds of mountain ranges along the way. They can dock at any time and welcome guests at any time. There is no rule. They mostly rely on the black market dealers to spread the news internally. Although the merchant Jingge has registered, he still can't

Guaranteed to be completely authentic.”

While he was speaking, Emperor Tianzun had already quickly read through the files about the "Taoyuan Township" dance hall from the folded pages. The two giant turtles in Feiyuan had undergone a large-scale internal rectification, and with the addition of Mirror Pavilion

More stringent screenings even require merchants to arrange for people to come and report regularly like local merchants. Although the lawless gray transactions have been curbed a lot in recent years, after all, they are doing business that connects thousands of islands.

Fish is inevitable. The Feiyuan Inner Island was severely damaged in the Disintegration Disaster. In addition to the imperial capital Tianyu City, the reconstruction of the four realms will consume huge manpower and material resources. This also resulted in him having to turn a blind eye to an important source of income for the treasury.

I closed my eyes, but I never expected that drug addicts like Wenrouxiang would start to become popular secretly again!

After a long time, Emperor Tianzun handed the file in his hand to Xiao Yibai and sighed: "Sure enough, it is too easy for people to taste the sweetness of a huge profit. Every time a drug den is destroyed in the past few years, I will order someone to hang the head of the drug dealer."

In the surrounding towns, the people hate this so much that even the foreigners who have not been in contact with each other for thousands of years actively ask for cooperation to eliminate the poison. But even so, there are still people who are willing to take risks under the huge profits. Taoyuan Township... Taoyuan Township, really

Good name."

Xiao Yibai silently recorded the pink peach blossom sign of Taoyuan Township. The current mountain city seems to be quite harmonious on the surface, but everyone is well aware of the human trafficking in the gray area. In fact, the black goods trade has not been completely suppressed, usually as long as it is not too ostentatious.

, generally no one will be very strict. After all, Shanhaiji is not only engaged in Feiyuan's business. The matters on Juao's back can be easily solved, but if the safety of the inner island is involved, we cannot continue to ignore it.

, otherwise it will be another unnecessary disaster.

Gongsun Yan came over and reminded: "There should be drinks and clothing business in the dance hall. These things are available in Luoling's business. Do you want to find someone to go in and test it out first?"

Ming Xi was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know the poinsettia?"

Gongsun Yan dragged his chin as he recalled, frowning and replied in disbelief: "I have seen that the landlady was very popular for her sharp tongue. It is said that she is a very good person. In addition to making a living from performing arts in Taoyuan Township, she will also earn a lot of money.

She used part of her money to hire a husband to teach the girls how to read and write, and practice martial arts to keep fit. Not to mention that the surrounding merchants were full of praise for her. She was occasionally invited to perform in other cities. Wherever she went, there was a bustle of people. To be honest, if it hadn't been for today

When Young Master Xinmo mentioned her, I really can't see that there are other forces behind her."

"Girls..." Ming Xi considered Gongsun Yan's words and knocked on the table. Several names flashed through his mind, and he clicked his tongue in disgust. Gongsun Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. He knew it without asking.

What is Mingxi thinking about at this moment? The drug trade is different from ordinary goods. It must be extremely hidden. As long as there is a problem in one link, the drug dealer can abandon the entire offline line in order to protect himself. So this kind of thing is either

They can't take action. If they want to take action, they must go straight to Huanglong and eradicate it. Right now, they only have one clue in Taoyuan Township, and they must not let the other party notice it at this time.

Frankly speaking, although there are several young girls in Feng Mo, none of them are reliable. If they were allowed to investigate, they would just enter the mountain city and run away.

He pursed his lips and thought for a long time. After a long while, he still looked at Xiao Yibai with complex eyes, coughed lightly and said tentatively: "Why don't you let Yun Xiao..."

"She can't do it." Xiao Yibai refused flatly and glanced at him coldly without any room for negotiation. Mingxi turned his head knowingly and didn't bother to say anything else. Gongsun Yan came out with a cold sweat on his face and said with a smile, "She can't do it.

She, she is too impulsive, and her actions are not measured. You have forgotten that she burned Dingxing Mountain on fire last time. It is too dangerous. It can’t be done, it can’t be done, it really can’t be done.”

A Ying listened with fear. For the first time in Qin Tower, she saw her husband staring at Yun Xiao under the phoenix tree for a long time with a gentle look she had never seen before. At that time, she was still a little jealous for no reason, but now

It seems that he really used her to the extreme, as if she was just a useful sharp sword that could help him remove all obstacles in front of him. Fortunately, Xiao Yibai objected. If it were anyone else, he would be afraid of the emperor.

Even if he doesn't understand, there are ten thousand ways to force Yun Xiao to help him, right?

The atmosphere suddenly reached a stalemate, but a voice from the bottom of her heart began to jump out uncontrollably - "Maybe one day, you will become a woman who cares about the world like her."

The next second, she walked straight towards the three of them and said, "In that case, let me go to Taoyuan Township to investigate."

Gongsun Yan stared at her dumbfounded, almost forgetting that there was a queen sitting in the Mo Pavilion. It wasn't until she walked up to Ming Xi and imitated the officials and bowed to the monarch seriously that he whispered and hurriedly reached out to help her.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Queen, although the mountain market has changed slightly in recent years, it is still a black market with a long history. It is a dangerous mixture of fish and dragons. Mirror Pavilion can usually only control their business dealings with local merchants, but cannot control them.

For internal matters, if you want to investigate Taoyuan Township, you have to go deep into the tiger's den. No, it's too risky."

A Ying did not stand up, but looked firmly at her silent husband, and said seriously: "I was born in the desert, a demon hunter who has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years and has not interacted with outsiders. Although I have received your favor and been named a queen, I can only be canonized.

If I show my face for one day, the merchants who live in the black market all year round will not recognize me. The interests behind the drug trade are huge, and there will definitely be strong bodyguards guarding me. Although I am not as powerful as Miss Yunxiao, I am still

I have been practicing martial arts since I was young and I think I will not lose to men. Please give me your permission to go to Taoyuan Township to investigate this matter."

"You are a queen, so you are not suitable..."

"As the queen, your people are also my people." A Ying answered without hesitation, knowing that interrupting him was rude, but she continued without hesitation, "I didn't know that you were there until today.

The reason for choosing me, if this is the case, please believe that it is determined."

Mingxi's hand trembled violently, and her eyes sharpened at this moment. Aying was a cheerful demon hunter who was not interested in the long history of the empire. He had never mentioned to her the story of the founding queen, Lao Ji.

His real name, naturally, he did not reveal to her the real reason why he decided to designate her as his queen.

He didn't speak, and no one dared to make a sound. The emperor and empress' eyes looked at each other without blinking, one was as bright as the rising sun, and the other was as clear as a sweet spring.
