With a mouth for storytelling and two legs for singing, the three days of leisure passed quickly, and the day of departure came in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, after Li Minghao and Liu Zhida said goodbye to everyone in the Special Office, they drove out of the Forbidden City and headed straight to Ziwei Mountain, where the condolence mission that had left the city before them had been waiting for them for a long time.

Watching the special office vehicle approaching from a distance, the accompanying soldiers quickly informed the officials of the mission.

When the officials heard that the people sent by the Special Office were coming, they all got out of the car. Under the leadership of an old man with a white beard, they walked quickly to the back of the mission and stood on the mountain road looking from a distance, looking at the car.

The car was getting closer and closer to them amid the bumps.

"It's really strange. Officials from these six ministries usually stretch out their clothes and open their mouths. They can't move even after sitting in their seats for three days. How come they saw us coming and set up such a big formation to welcome us?" Liu Zhida looked at it.

He looked at the officials in front of him who were wearing silk brocade and said with a smile.

"It's probably because of the old man. I think that when the old man joined the military camp and made great achievements, there are not many people left who entered the military camp with him, so it is normal to respect him." Li Minghao sighed lightly.

, "But this way, our follow-up work will be impossible. It will be too conspicuous."

Liu Zhida laughed: "Don't panic, look at me later."

While he was talking, the car had stopped in front of the thirty-four officials. After the engine was turned off, no one got out of the car. Only the driver's window slowly lowered, and a hand stretched out from inside to wave to everyone.

, and then a deep voice came out: "It's a little inconvenient for us to get off the car now, so please ask your leader to come over. We have something to say to him."

These officials have seen this before. The only ones they had been asked to speak to before were the Grand Master and Mr. Chang. Their respect for the Special Office was just because of Shen Wanshan’s face and the contribution the Special Office had made to the stability of China over the years.

I didn't expect these two young people to be so crazy.

The old bearded man didn't say anything, he just smiled and walked over slowly.

When he came to the car, the old man saw two people sitting inside. Sitting in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with a thin build, a black face, and a very fierce appearance. Sitting in the passenger seat was a man who looked about the same age as him.

He was an old man about the same age, thin and a bit hunchbacked, but his face was much more kind.

The old man frowned, that's not right. The original plan was to say that two young men came, but why did they turn into a middle-aged man and an old man?

"Um, I wonder what you call them?" Although he had doubts in his heart, the old man did not ask the two of them abruptly. After all, he had been an official for many years, so he still had this kind of literacy and insight.

The black face smiled and said: "My name is Liu Zhida, and the person sitting next to me is Li Minghao, the section chief of our sixth department. Old man, what is your name?"

"My officer, Chen Shusheng, is appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs." The old man said with a smile, but he thought in his heart that the name is indeed right, but his appearance and age are too different, and I don't know what this special thing is, but since

When people arrive, it doesn't matter anymore. Just ask Shen Wanshan when he comes back.

With a black face, he clasped his hands in his fists: "Shilang Chen, I've heard about him for a long time, and now that I'm seeing him, he's really extraordinary."

The old man in the co-pilot turned his head, smiled and nodded, taking it as a salute.

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Since the two special guests have arrived, let's set off." Chen Shusheng laughed and returned the greeting with fists clasped in his hands.

"Okay, without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible. We have to have lunch early." Black Face said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Shusheng turned around and walked back. Through the conversation just now, he basically understood that the Special Office sent these two people here most likely to do gold plating. Otherwise, why didn't they mention anything about the five Northeastern families and only thought about eating and drinking.

Rolling up the car window, Li Minghao asked: "Actually, there are many ways to make the two of us less conspicuous. How did you come up with the trick of disguise?"

Liu Zhida sighed softly: "Forget it, when I was still working in my old business, I once went to Chen Shusheng's house one night to steal things. Although this old man looked poor, there were a lot of good things in his house.

I don’t know. Halfway through touching it, the servant of this old guy’s house noticed me, so I ran away quickly, and by chance, I bumped into this old man. If I hadn’t disguised myself, this old man would have recognized me at a glance. After all,

I stole his heart."

Li Minghao laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that you would dare to steal from the house of a court official. To be honest, how much did that thing cost?"

Liu Zhida thought carefully for a while: "Probably, it's only tens of millions. Although it's a small thing, it was produced in the official kiln of the former dynasty and is a treasure. But don't worry, what I'm selling to is a Chinese native. The money is

I also donate almost all of it to charity.”

At this time, the officials got on the car one after another, started the car, and the convoy, escorted by the surrounding motorcycle cavalry, slowly drove out of the mountain road and onto the asphalt road not far away.

"I believe you in this." Li Minghao nodded slightly. Although Liu Zhida sometimes couldn't help but do things along the way, he knew that his nature was not bad. "Actually, it's good for us that you have this human skin mask.

After entering the Northeast Five Houses, we can become anyone, which will be more convenient for us to investigate the case."

Liu Zhida asked while driving: "Speaking of the investigation, are you sure nothing will happen if we put our things in your ring? Don't let anything go wrong again when we need things for the investigation."

Li Minghao shook his head, adjusted his seat, and could barely stretch his legs: "You don't have to worry about this. There is absolutely no problem with the Wuhou clan's divine machine skills. And I ask you, if you don't put in the ring,

Zhongcun, if we just blatantly walked into five homes in the Northeast, will they let us move freely?"

"Yes, let's just believe in divine mechanics for the time being. But if I put my sleeve arrows and your talisman together, are you sure nothing will happen?" Liu Zhida nodded slightly, but he was still a little worried. After all, Li Minghao was there before leaving.

The child absorbed everything they had into the ring.

Li Minghao sighed: "Just drive your car without worries. I specially stored the things for the two of us separately."

"That's fine."

Northeast is also the far north of Middle-earth. Half of it is a mountain forest covered by ice and snow all year round. All kinds of strange and ferocious animals live in it. It is called a restricted area for human life.

The other half of the Northeast is a vast snowfield covered with frozen soil. The only three large cities in the Northeast are built on this snowfield, using snow as cement and ice as city walls, so people call it

Northeast Ice City.

The names of the three cities are: Black Ice City, Jade Ice City, and Cold Ice City. The origin of the names cannot be verified. We only know that they are names that have been passed down since ancient times and have never been changed.

Among the three ice cities, there are three identical ice towers. Among the ice towers, there are several signal lights. Since ancient times, the three cities have used these three ice towers to transmit emergency messages back and forth.

On the map, three cities stood in a Z-shaped shape on the snowfield, blocking everyone's way to the virgin forest behind them, and also blocking all those with evil intentions on the snowfield.

The locations of the five northeastern cities cannot be found on the map. If you take a map of the northeast and search carefully, you will find that they are in Xuanbing City (the one closest to the virgin forest among the three cities, which is the one at the top of the "pin" shape)

In the middle of the primeval forest, close to the primeval forest, find a small black spot, where is the Northeast Five Houses.

To the right of Wujia in the Northeast is the continuous Changbai Mountains. Together with the virgin forest, Weiyang Mountain and Yuheng Mountain, it forms a natural barrier to protect the Central Plains.

"This thing looks like a short distance on the map, but in reality, the distance is very far. The five Northeastern families also had perseverance and forcibly found a road to Changbai on the snowfield." Li Minghao.

Sitting in the car with nothing to do, I took out the map and glanced at it.

"Very few people go to the primeval forest in the far north, so there are no roads there. Even among these three cities, only Xuanbing City has a road leading to the five northeastern cities. It's a pity.

Well, these people spent a long time making wedding clothes for others, and even put their own lives in it." Liu Zhida sighed and said.

Li Minghao raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Zhida, and asked, "Have you been to the Far North?"

Liu Zhida shook his head: "I've never been there. It's so cold there. I just heard my dad tell me about it, so I wrote it down. I didn't expect it would be useful one day."

"Your father is really a magical man. If I have the chance, I will definitely meet him and listen to his legendary things." Li Minghao laughed. Liu Zhida, this mysterious father, made him even more curious, but unfortunately he just didn't have time.

You can take a look.

Liu Zhida sighed softly: "I don't dare to go home. If I want to go back without a partner, I will bring a grown man back. I think my father can beat me to death."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Starting from the Forbidden City, their group will pass through Weiyang Mountain, and then drive on the road for a long time into the snowfields. The things in between will not be described in detail. After all, those are just anecdotes. Looking back now,

Let’s talk about Kowloon.

Since escaping from the imperial city with the help of Xiao Jiujian that day, Jiulong seems to have become a little more decadent. He basically spends every day thinking about tea rather than food. Fortunately, he has now gone without food and does not have so many requirements for food.

Yes, you won't starve to death if you don't eat for a few days.

Xiao Jiujian brought him some rice a few days ago, but after delivering it twice, he found that the rice was not moved at all. When he came to collect the plate, the chopsticks were placed in the same position as when he brought them over.

.

Xiao Jiujian simply stopped bringing him food. He cooked and ate by himself every day, and then fed the rest of the food that he couldn't eat to the kittens and puppies nearby. He didn't think about it either.

What would Jiulong think if he knew it? He wouldn't eat it anyway, he might as well feed the cats and dogs.

Xiao Jiujian didn't care, but it made the big-breasted woman very distressed. She would come to Jiulong almost every day to persuade him to eat. Every time she came, she would say exactly the same thing: "People are like iron rice or steel. You won't be hungry after a meal."

Don't panic, what's the use of a broken cauldron? I'll probably get it back some other time, anyway, you're not an ordinary person." After talking about it for a long time, Jiulong even suspected that his ears were about to get calluses.

Two days passed like this. On the third day, the big-breasted woman came to Jiulong as usual with delicious food. She knocked on the door and found no one answered. The big-breasted woman felt bad and hurriedly opened the door and left.

Got in.

Jiulong did not suddenly commit suicide as she imagined, but his whole person suddenly disappeared from the world.

There was a note on the ground with this sentence written in regular script: "I am going to the Forbidden City to look for the Jizhou Tripod, please don't come."

Seeing this note, the busty woman panicked a little. If her prediction was correct, the whole city should be on alert in the Forbidden City now, and the people she arranged were also in the Forbidden City waiting for her next instructions.

If something goes wrong, the consequences may be disastrous.

She put down the tray in her hand and hurriedly left the house to find Xiao Jiujian. At this time, he was playing a landlord game with two people in Qingyi and Heijia. Xiao Jiujian was a landlord and was attacked in turn by the two men. He was about to lose.

.

Xiao Jiujian scratched his head, looked at the three cards in his hand, and then looked at the two smiling people.

"Damn, this thing is so hard to play." If he loses this time, it will be the ninety-ninth time he loses. If he loses, he will have to cook a full banquet for these two people... He can't do it.

Understand, these two people didn’t know anything about these things, so how could they suddenly play it? Is it possible that there are buffs in King Qin’s tomb?

The two laughed loudly: "Forget it, stop struggling, you are going to lose. Just go and cook."

"Oh, Wang Zha." Xiao Jiujian gently threw out the big and small kings, looked at the two of them without any action, put down the last card in his hand, "a three."

"..." The two of them looked at each other, threw down the cards in their hands and left angrily. It was obvious that the two of them did not expect that Xiao Jiujian would have Wang Zha in his hands, and they were uncomfortable with not being able to eat this meal.

At this time, the busty woman trotted over. Xiao Jiujian looked back when he heard the voice, feeling a little dizzy, and quickly turned back to pack the playing cards on the table.

The busty woman ran to Xiao Jiujian, handed him the note, and said breathlessly: "No, it's bad, Jiulong went to the Forbidden City alone."

Xiao Jiujian frowned: "What is this guy doing in the Forbidden City? Isn't he willing to die?"

"He said that he was looking for the Jizhou Ding. It seemed that that thing was very important to him."

Indeed, the Jizhou Ding is very important to Jiulong. Dayu divided the nine states and cast the Jiuding, respecting Jizhou as the head of the nine states. The Jizhou Ding also symbolizes nobility and supremacy.

The other eight tripods and nine dragons of Jiuding can be dispensed with, but he must have Jizhou tripod. It is the most important key to unlock a lock.
