I don't know how long it took before he returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion from the darkness and walked into the house.

"You're back!" Fenghuang forgot to glance at Yang Yanxing, then turned around and began to draw seriously again.

Yang Yanjing nodded slightly, then walked to Fenghuang's side, feeling helpless in her heart.

"Look at what I drew. This is the pattern of the token of five blessings. I observed a change in the sky last night. As far as I know, the man in red has received four tokens. It seems that there will be a fierce battle in the future." Phoenix He suddenly became serious, looked at Yang Yanxing with a cold face, and spoke slowly.

"I haven't slept well in the past few days. I always dream that the legendary secret realm is opened. The man in red has collected five tokens. People in the rivers and lakes and the court are fighting for these five tokens. , although the unicorn token is in my hand, but I still feel uneasy, and always feel that something will happen." Fenghuang rubbed his brows, and said a little tiredly.

Yang Yanjing took a serious look at the Token of Five Blessings painted by Fenghuang, and Fenghuang's words were still ringing in his ears, "We must not let this happen, the man in red is very ambitious, and opening the secret realm must be more difficult than immortality. Let me tell you how to stop this bloody storm, when the time comes, the people will be displaced."

"Well, I get it." Yang Yanjing nodded, and said solemnly, after finishing speaking, he gently took Phoenix into his arms, with unstoppable tenderness in his eyes.

All words end at this moment.

Sure enough, as Fenghuang expected, a few days later, news came from the people that for some reason, almost all the people in the north and south of the city fell ill.

In the house, Yang Tingjing frowned slightly, and stood upright by the window with his hands behind his back. He opened two exquisitely decorated windows, and the desolate outside wind blew in and into his lapel, but he He didn't feel cold at all, and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord." There was a pleasant voice from outside the door, and Yang Tingjing knew who it was when he heard the familiar voice, so he turned around and asked, "Fenghuang, why are you here?"

"It's not that big things happened to the people in the city recently. As the seventh concubine, of course I have to come and see." While speaking, Fenghuang stepped into the room, took a stool and sat behind him, resting his hand on the chair. Cheeky eyes don't know where to look.

"Our Seventh Princess, who never cared about human affairs, would care so much about this matter this time. It's really rare." Yang Tingjing turned sideways slightly, looked down at the person sitting behind him, and smiled slightly, but his eyes were completely cold.

"Don't say that, make it seem like I'm not human at all." Fenghuang also raised his eyes and looked straight at Yang Tingjing who was staring at him. Looking at each other like this, it seems that sparks can be sparked at any time, and the night that should be lonely is really lonely like this, both outside and inside.

However, Fenghuang is not a calm person like Yang Tingjing. Not long after the deadlock unfolded, he was the first to bow down and shift his gaze to other places. He still had no expression on the surface, just like a piece of wood. emotion.

It's just that God knows how much she admires Yang Tingjing, a calm person like Yang Tingjing. If she is also this kind of person and has this kind of spirit, she might be able to face him for a day and a night.

After all, the long tranquility was broken by Fenghuang. She felt that if this continued, it would be meaningless for her to come this time.

"What do you think about this?" She asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do?" Yang Tingjing had seen enough, and continued to look at the scenery outside the window with his back turned to her, "We can only let him go with the flow."

"Let it take its course?" Fenghuang cried out, how could she let such a big event go its own way? The lives of so many people let him go with the flow? Does this fend for itself make any difference? the answer is negative.

Of course, Yang Tingjing also heard the question in her tone, looked at her with raised eyebrows, and asked, "Do you have any good strategies?"

Fenghuang was still holding her chin in a daze, although she wasn't in a daze, she was just thinking. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Did you ask someone to investigate this before?"

"Of course." Yang Tingjing nodded, "Yang Tingxing asked someone to investigate before, but unfortunately there was no result."

Fenghuang moved his fingers, tapped his upper lip, and said softly: "The most lacking thing in the city is the water source, and what the people need most is also the water source. However, this large-scale illness is obviously related to the species used on a large scale." At that moment, she paused for a few seconds, during which she couldn't stop glancing at Yang Tingjing beside her, and seeing that he was listening carefully, she relaxed and continued with her inference.

"What do the common people usually eat? The amount of food is not certain, but the water is certain." Fenghuang frowned slightly, and his elegant and plain face showed a little cold arrogance when he spoke, "I remember There is a water source passing through the south and north of the city, but it does not pass through the east and west of the city."

Hearing this, Yang Tingjing was slightly taken aback, and also thought about it carefully in his heart, and found that this was exactly the case, his heart suddenly became clear, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips to look at this girl, and an unknown feeling began to arise.

A few days later, Yang Tingjing led people to investigate the river. They searched all the way to the upper reaches of the river. Not far away, he vaguely saw a person lying across there. It was a dead body, Yang Tingjing was taken aback, and immediately squatted down, put on gloves and began to examine the dead body.

After checking the whole body, he found that an unknown wound on the body of the dead body was continuously flowing out black blood, flowing along the terrain all the way into the river, and the river was flowing down with the black liquid. Yang Tingjing's preliminary advance caused the people to fall ill one by one. They must have drank the water here, and the culprit was the black blood from this dead body!

He checked it carefully again, and suddenly found that the dead body showed no sign of decay, but it was obvious that the body had been dead for dozens of days, and it must not be easy to not rot under the scorching sun, he thought There is some special substance that makes this an incorruptible corpse, and the continuously flowing blood must contain poisonous substances.

After deducing all these, Yang Tingjing planned to go back and tell Fenghuang that maybe she had some ideas, so he ordered someone to take care of the corpse, and then went back home.

After all, sorting out the corpses and finding out what happened from the corpses is not what he wants to do. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, and the people are poisoned and collapsed at this time, it is necessary for Yang Tingxing to come forward to appease these people.
