The Glorious Summoner

865 The green-clothed emissary

It was late at night, and the clock tower on the Saint square in corand city was about to point to 11:30.

At this moment, the square was completely silent. Even the pigeons had returned to their nests. There was no one in the square. Only some buildings near the square were still dimly lit.

The nearest carriage passed by the road on the east side of the square ten minutes ago. Several patrolling policemen didn’t appear here after nine O ‘clock. After ten O’ clock, this place became quiet and nobody could be seen.

Xia Pingan was lying on a chair under a dim street lamp on the east side of the square. On the floor of the chair, there were two beer bottles, as if they were drunk people resting on the side of the square.

No one paid any attention to these people who were lying on the edge of the square while drinking. They were either tourists or vagrants. Even the patrolling police were too lazy to come and check.

After making sure that no one around the square would pay attention to him, Xia Pingan finally opened his eyes. At the same time, he also understood why the assassin had hidden the things here.

“F * ck, that assassin called siegerskaner is really imaginative. He could hide his things here in the public, which is the safest place. He could take them out when he was about to escape. It’s really mysterious!”

Xia Pingan muttered to himself and slowly got up from the recliner. He pretended to be drunk and walked towards the street lamp more than ten meters away.

The streetlight was black, and there was a hole in the lampshade. No one knew how long it had been broken. No one had come to fix it anyway. There were a few sycamore trees beside the streetlight, and the ground was just in the shadow area where the Sycamore trees intersected. When it was dark, the shadow area was completely dark. If you were a little further away, you wouldn’t be able to see anything.

Xia Pingan walked to the side of the street lamp and stepped on the floor tile that was pointing in the direction of the Square’s clock tower. Then, he squatted down and took out a dagger and inserted it into the gap of the floor tile. With a pry, the floor tile was lifted off the ground. Xia Pingan then grabbed the floor tile and picked it up from the ground. He scraped the soil mixed with sand under the floor tile and found a box wrapped in an oilcloth.

He quickly put the box into the space warehouse he opened up, and then quickly put the floor tiles back into the original flavor. The whole process was completed in five seconds, and it was indeed done without anyone noticing.

Then, Xia Pingan walked out of the shadow formed by the sycamore tree and headed towards the house he had rented during the day.

In just over ten minutes, Xia Pingan had successfully arrived outside the family hotel.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped by the wall outside the hotel. When Xia Pingan arrived, a man was hugging a woman and leaning against the carriage, kissing her reluctantly. The two big black horses pulling the carriage were snorting. Through the faint light from the second floor of the family hotel, he could see that the man was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a black coat and a Round Top hat. He was well-dressed. The woman was wearing a long blue dress and had a pretty face. With a Fox-skin scarf around their necks, the two of them hugged each other.

The sound of Xia ping ‘an’s footsteps startled the two men. They immediately separated and looked in their direction. Xia ping’ an glanced at the two of them but did not pay much attention to them. She pushed open the door of the family hotel’s courtyard and walked in.

“My dear, I have to go back tonight. Believe me, after I’m done with the manor, I’ll definitely marry your Yingluo.”

I believe you, but the theater manager, stark, asked me to go to his office again today. I didn’t go, and he told me to go backstage to tidy up the costumes and props instead of letting me go on stage. I’ve had enough of you, Qianqian, ” the woman complained.

“That bastard is harassing you again!” The man couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, ” don’t worry, I’ll help you solve this problem.

The two of them continued to whisper and kiss outside. Xia Pingan had already crossed the courtyard and arrived at the door of the family hotel. He took out the key that the landlord had given him and opened the door.

There was no light in the room where the landlord couple lived on the first floor. It was obvious that they were already asleep. Xia ping ‘an gently closed the door and went upstairs quietly. When he reached the upper floor, he heard the door downstairs being opened again, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the stairs.

It seemed to be the woman outside. Although the woman had also lightened her footsteps, the sound of high heels was still very obvious.

Xia Pingan returned to his room and looked at the floor of his room. Before he left, he had scattered a little dust on the floor of his room’s door. If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to notice. If someone had entered the room after he had left, they would have left footprints on that layer of dust. He would have noticed it when he returned. Now that he looked again, the layer of dust was intact, which meant that no one had entered the room after he had left. Xia Pingan was relieved. A small room in an ordinary family hotel like this would indeed not attract any attention.

About ten seconds after he closed the door, Xia Pingan heard the door of the room next to his open as well. That woman should be the actress who worked at the Opera House.

Xia Pingan went to the bathroom, closed the door, and lit the lamp. Then, he took out the box he had gotten from the Saint square and placed it on the sink.

The oilcloth outside the box was stained with a lot of sand and was tied with an iron wire. Xia Pingan untied the iron wire and washed the layer of sand on the oilcloth on the sink to make sure that there was no trace. Then, she opened the oilcloth and revealed the iron box below.

The metal box was an ordinary tin biscuit tin, more than 20 centimeters long and seven to eight centimeters high. The edges of the biscuit tin were sealed with a layer of waterproof wax, so it could be opened easily.

Opening the iron box, two realm pearls that were shimmering with a faint light appeared in front of Xia Pingan. In addition to the two realm pearls, there were a few rolls of cash and a bunch of keys.

The notes were worth at least five to six hundred Thales, which was not a small sum.

Xia Pingan picked up the two realm pearls and a smile appeared on his face.

One realm Pearl was giving out changing green light, which was like an Emerald being reflected by the sun’s rays. There was a looming light and shadow of a parrot in the realm Pearl. The other realm Pearl was colorful, where a colorful auspicious cloud was rolling.

There were four small seals in the green realm Pearl, which read ” emissary in Green “. The colorful realm Pearl had six small seals, ” Tao Hongjing has attained Dao “. These two realm pearls were rare ones that Xia Pingan had not fused with.

Xia Pingan looked at the set of keys again. It was obvious that the set of keys was the key to the main door, but she did not know where it was from.

green-clothed emissary ” was not a person’s name, but when he looked at the parrot in the realm Pearl again, Xia Pingan suddenly remembered a story. He instantly understood how to merge this realm Pearl. Before this, he had been envious of Fang Ping’s ability to summon the parrot and let the parrot pass orders. He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, a realm Pearl that could summon the parrot would appear in front of him.

As for Tao Hongjing, a famous person like him had many stories. Xia Pingan did not know when the story in the realm Pearl began, but in the history of Huaxia, it was a major event for a cultivator to become an immortal and attain Dao. The harvest that this realm Pearl of ” Tao Hongjing attaining Dao ” could bring was probably extraordinary.

it seems that what senior bronze man said before was true. The realm pearls in the Devas ‘realm are all realm pearls that can’t be found in other worlds. This saves me a lot of effort. As long as I have enough realm pearls, I should be able to improve my realm very quickly. Sigh, it’s been a long time since I’ve fused with a realm Pearl. I really miss the feeling of fusing with a realm Pearl. Xia Pingan played with the two realm pearls in his hands. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. In the end, he simply put away the realm bead of ” Tao Hongjing achieving Dao “, leaving only the realm bead of the ” green-clothed emissary “. Then, he sat on the toilet lid, bit his finger, and gently dripped a drop of blood on the realm bead.

Xia Pingan’s eyes widened as he looked at the drop of blood that had rolled onto the realm Pearl. In the blink of an eye, the drop of blood was absorbed by the realm Pearl. Then, the realm Pearl emitted a ball of green light that enveloped Xia Pingan.

The environment for the fusion of the realm beads was indeed a little shabby and there was not much guarantee of safety. It was in the bathroom, but fortunately, it was hidden and would not attract anyone’s attention. Although it was a little risky, Xia Pingan knew that the fusion of the realm beads would be completed very soon and would not take more than a few minutes. In addition, he had not fused with a realm bead for ” many years “. Xia Pingan wanted to try it out, so he started the fusion in the bathroom.

......

In the world of the realm Pearl, Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself in a magnificent Hall. He was wearing a Yellow Dragon robe and a Yi Shan crown on his head. He was sitting behind a desk, and beside him were a few maids and eunuchs. In front of him were a few officials dressed in either green or red robes. One of the officials was holding a birdcage, and in the birdcage was a beautiful macaw.

Your Majesty, this is the parrot that has been spreading like wildfire in the city these days. It helped the bailiffs of the capital governor’s office solve the case of the disappearance of yang Chongyi, the richest man in Chang ‘an. This parrot is quite spiritual and can speak, ” the official holding the birdcage introduced to Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan had instantly gotten into character. He knew that his current character was Tang Xuanzong’s Li Longji.

Oh, that’s true. I’ve heard people in the palace talk about this Strange Case. How is it? quickly tell me! Xia Pingan’s expression showed his interest.

yes. A few days ago, I was in the capital governor’s office when I heard someone reporting a case. The person who reported it was the wife of the richest man in Chang ‘an, yang Chongyi, Lady Liu, and a few servants of the Yang family. Yang Chongyi’s wife said that yang Chongyi had been missing from home for several days. She sent people to look for him but could not find him, so she anxiously came to the capital governor’s office to report it. When I heard it, I also felt that this matter was not trivial. I have met yang Chongyi before, and he was also a rich man in the city. I’m afraid that the people of Chang ‘an would be in a panic if news of such a person’s inexplicable disappearance spread. Therefore, I ordered the head constable of the capital governor’s mansion to investigate the Yang family and mobilised the bad guys in the city to find yang Chongyi. I didn’t expect that yang Chongyi had indeed disappeared and couldn’t be found in the city!”

“How did you deal with it?” Xia Pingan asked.

based on my experience, the servants at home are the most suspicious when a rich man goes missing for no reason. I’ve dealt with a few similar cases before, where the servants colluded with thieves outside to kidnap people for ransom, and sometimes even kill people. So, I ordered for all the servants of the Yang family to be captured and interrogated in detail to see if there were any clues. But the strange thing was that after a series of interrogations, there was no result. At that time, I felt that it was very strange, so I brought some people to the Yang family to personally investigate. I didn’t expect that when I just arrived at the Yang family, I heard someone in the air shouting “I’m innocent.” When I saw it, this parrot flew over and landed on my shoulder!”

“Interesting, interesting. What happened after that?”

“At that time, this lowly subject was also very surprised. I didn’t expect that I would actually encounter a parrot that came to cry out for injustice. So this lowly subject tried to ask the parrot,” what injustice do you have?”I didn’t expect that the parrot would open its mouth and repeat the same thing-” the murderer of the clan master, Lady Liu and Li Luan.” At that time, that lady Liu was also by this lowly official’s side. When she heard Parro’s words, her expression changed drastically and she went limp on the ground. This lowly official immediately interrogated Lady Liu, and she confessed. It turned out that yang Chongyi only cared about drinking and having fun all day and neglected Lady Liu. Thus, Lady Liu hooked up with her neighbor, li Luan. This adulterous couple set up a trap to kill yang Chongyi and then buried him outside the city. Then, they asked Lady Liu to pretend to report the case. This lowly official immediately ordered for li Luan to be arrested. After the interrogation, it was indeed the case. At that time, many bailiffs from the capital governor’s office were present to witness it with their own eyes, and the matter of the parrot solving the case spread throughout the city.”

“Is this parrot raised by yang Chongyi’s family?”

yes, this parrot was raised by yang Chongyi. This matter has been spreading like wildfire in the city these days. Many people even said that they want to ask for an official reward for this parrot who helped to clear its master’s name!

Xia ping ‘an looked at the parrot and asked, ” the people of Chang’ an asked me to reward you. Do you want to be an official? ”

Your Majesty, you’re a sacred Pixiu! Your Majesty, you’re a sacred Pixiu! the parrot said. It was indeed very intelligent.

“It’s not appropriate to let parrots be officials, but your parrots are extraordinary. They can make the heavenly Dao’s retribution unhappy, and they can also clear your master’s innocence and solve cases. How about this, I will appoint you as the green-clothed emissary. Since ancient times, you are the first parrots to be given the Golden mouth imperial title. From now on, you will stay in the palace. There are many parrots in the palace, and you are the most powerful one!” Xia Pingan burst into laughter.

long live the green-clothed emissary, long live the green-clothed emissary, long live His Majesty, long live the green-clothed emissary, long live the green-clothed emissary, long live the green-clothed emissary, long live the green-clothed emissary, long live the green-clothed emissary! the macaw was also jumping around happily.

...

After that, before Xia ping ‘an could call noble Consort Yang over to see what she looked like, the world of the realm Pearl shattered with a loud bang.
