"It's okay, don't panic, don't panic! The young master pinched Concubine Ming Yu's buttocks just to check her injuries, it was a check, not a teasing!"

Xing Jiangmu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurried to the opposite side of Su Yun and Ming Yufei, sat upright, and stared at Su Yun.

"Last night, that person was stabbed in the butt by Shao Shi's sword. Shao Shi just wanted to see if Concubine Yu was that person last night. He had absolutely no other thoughts... Damn it, the Holy Emperor's concubine, you can't pinch her butt even for a medical check!"

He was torn between his conscience and his desires: "Why didn't Concubine Ming Yu beat him? Is it because Master Shao Shi is too handsome... Can he do whatever he wants just because he is good-looking?"

After Su Yun examined the injury, he felt relieved, but suddenly he was startled: "Did I touch the wrong butt? Is it the other butt that was injured?"

He was ready to make a move, but Xing Jiangmu stared at him so intently that he had no chance to act.

Su Yun had no choice but to give up this idea and concentrate on studying the contents of the book with Concubine Ming Yu, without doing anything rash.

Xing Jiangmu still stared at him intently, trying to prevent him from making the same mistake again.

Concubine Ming Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

What Yingying showed was the special phenomenon discovered when Tongtian Tower captured the demonized argali in the early days and dissected it.

In several early autopsies of argali, it was found that there were traces of catastrophe ashes in the bodies of the argali, and these traces of catastrophe were in a burning state, producing catastrophe fire!

Su Yun was puzzled. He stood up and walked around, wondering, "There are two types of calamity ashes: those ignited by open flames and those ignited by calamity fires. Open flames can be used for lighting and smelting. But those ignited by calamity fires are extremely dangerous. I have seen people ignited by calamity ashes and calamity fires. Their vitality was burned to ashes and they could not survive. Only creatures like calamity ash monsters can survive in calamity fires."

Concubine Ming Yu also stood up and imitated him in walking back and forth. Suddenly she stopped and looked at him sideways, saying, "But the argali is not a robbery ash monster! These argali appeared in the early days of the Argali Rebellion, which means that there were indeed argali in the early days of the Argali Rebellion who became demonized because they ate robbery ash."

Su Yun turned around and looked at the girl. "Then why did the argali eat the calamity ashes, and how did it ignite the calamity fire in its body? Also, why didn't the argali find the calamity ashes and calamity fire in its body later?"

Concubine Ming Yu also looked at him and thought, "Argali sheep can't eat this kind of thing. Argali sheep have a very high status in the Qin Dynasty. They are regarded as ancestors and can eat anything they want. They can't eat robbery ashes, let alone burning robbery ashes. This shows that in the early stage of the Argali Rebellion, a group of Argali sheep were artificially created. It may even have been tested countless times!"

Su Yun walked past her, stopped and said, "Later, the argali no longer had these calamity ashes and calamity fires in their bodies, which means that the person had understood the secret of the calamity ashes and calamity demonization of the argali, and the argali demonization technique could be used freely. Therefore, in the later argali records in Tongtian Pavilion, the calamity ashes and calamity fires were not found."

Concubine Ming Yu walked in the opposite direction from him, took two steps and stopped, looking up and said, "His only clue only appeared in the early stage of the Argali Rebellion. But the Argali Rebellion has been over for 170 years, and even the Tongtian Pavilion has no record of where the Argali Rebellion originated."

Su Yun turned around and said to Yingying, "Yingying, where were these argali caught from? Are there any records of this?"

"I'll look for it!"

Yingying quickly reviewed them and said, "I found four cases here. One of them happened in Qingping County, and the other three happened in Boshan County. The one in Qingping County happened later, while the one in Boshan County happened earlier."

The division of prefectures and counties in the Qin Dynasty all followed Yuan Shuo's system and had not been changed.

Su Yun didn't know much about the geography of Daqin, so he asked, "Where is Boshan County?"

"It is a city of ash, and now most of Boshan County has been engulfed by fire."

Yingying said: "The fire there has been burning for two hundred years. It has long been a forbidden place with few people. In two hundred years, everything has been burned down."

Su Yun and Ming Yufei looked at each other, their eyes flickered. Xing Jiangmu felt awe in his heart and said, "Yufei, it's almost noon. Should Yufei return to the palace? Should the maids in the palace report for duty..."

"Yu Fei is really smart, no less smart than me." Su Yun exclaimed.

Concubine Ming Yu smiled and said, "Shaoshi Su is also very smart. It takes very little effort to talk to you. I should go back now."

Su Yun said politely: "I'll take you downstairs."

Xing Jiangmu had a bewildered look on his face. He saw that there was no ambiguity between the two of them. Instead, they were both polite to each other and followed all the etiquette.

And just now, there were clearly strange flames dancing in their eyes!

Xing Jiangmu was also an experienced person, so he knew very well what the little flames in the eyes of boys and girls meant!

"There must be something strange here!" he thought to himself.

Su Yun sent Concubine Ming Yu to the gate of the embassy, and personally stopped a sheep chariot for her. He asked the driver to take her to the palace and paid the fare in advance. Then he waved goodbye to the girl in the chariot.

Concubine Ming Yu also waved goodbye.

When the argali chariot went away, Su Yun suddenly said, "The woman last night was not her."

Xing Jiangmu was stunned. He was still wondering why Su Yun became serious. He didn't expect Su Yun's mind to jump to this matter all of a sudden.

"It was a woman who attacked us last night, using the technique of the demonization of the argali. If Concubine Ming Yu knew this technique, then she would not have needed to go to the Tongtian Pavilion library to look up information on this subject."

Su Yun stood in front of the embassy, staring straight ahead, and whispered, "But it's not her who is so scary. The water overseas is deeper than the north..."

Xing Jiangmu didn't quite understand what he meant.

Xing Jiangmu followed Su Yun's gaze and saw a young woman sitting on the balcony on the second floor of the Daxia Embassy opposite, looking over here. It was the Daxia envoy, Xia Mengjue.

Xia Mengjue and Xing Jiangmu are old rivals.

Xing Jiangmu was stunned: "Xia Mengjue always wears revealing clothes, and he wants to show everyone his whole body. Why is he dressed so neatly today?"

Suddenly, a big bird carrying a small wooden building on its back came out from the corner of the street, ran over, rushed to the front of the embassy, and rubbed its head against Su Yun affectionately.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Tianfeng's feathers sprouted a few more. She happily spread her wings to show Su Yun her newly grown feathers.

This big bird is an alien species and its growth rate is amazing, but it is probably still too early for it to reach adulthood.

These days, Tian Feng has been living in Jiange, and Li Zhuxian has been supporting her. There are many classes these days, so Li Zhuxian has no chance to go out. Tian Feng is also stuck in Jiange.

Just now, after Su Yun guessed that Boshan County was the origin of the Argali Rebellion, he immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Order with his soul, entered the Heavenly Dao Academy, and contacted Li Zhuxian.

While he was seeing Concubine Ming Yu off, he borrowed the Heavenly Phoenix Chariot from Li Zhuxian and prepared to set off for Boshan County.

Su Yun called Yingying and got on the phoenix chariot.

Xing Jiangmu hesitated for a moment, then climbed up as well, thinking: "This Shaoshi Lord does have a lot of tricks up his sleeves, but he moved the carriage without making a sound, and I'm afraid Concubine Ming Yu is the same. I'd better follow him, lest the two of them get into trouble that we can't handle..."

Su Yun sat in the Phoenix Seal, looking out, and murmured, "There are indeed many talented people overseas, and we should not underestimate them... Jiang Mu, look at the skirt of the Great Xia envoy, it seems to be much neater than before. In the past, her skirt was slit to her buttocks..."

Xing Jiangmu coughed twice and said earnestly, "Sir, as the Shaoshi of the Supervisory Department, you represent Yuan Shuo's reputation. You shouldn't just focus on women..."

The Phoenix Treasure Chariot passed by the Daxia Embassy. Su Yun retracted his gaze and said, "The Daxia Embassy and the Yuanshuo Embassy are opposite each other. My every move will be seen by the other side. The woman last night was not Concubine Ming Yu, and Xia Mengjue has always been dressed coquettishly, but now he is not showing any flesh. It is very suspicious..."

Xing Jiangmu was stunned.

"If it was her last night, then I will meet her again after I go out this time."

Su Yun leaned back and said calmly, "Whether it was Xia Mengjue last night, I'm afraid we'll know once we get to Boshan County. I'll practice for a while, Jiangmu, you take control of the direction."

Xing Jiangmu said yes, and was shocked: "Is this new young scholar really only fourteen years old?"

Su Yun sat down quietly, took out the Tiandao Order, and entered the Tiandao Courtyard.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, all the Tiandao Academy members who were studying abroad gathered together, waiting for him.

Ye Luo, Bai Yuelou and others have sorted out the content about the Argali Rebellion in Jiange.

Su Yun took a look and found that the contents in Jiange were no more than those in Tongtian Pavilion, but there was such an interesting record in Jiange.

"It is recorded in the historical records of Jiange that the last owner of the Great Qin Sacred Bell was the Saint Ming Shengyan. Ming Shengyan led the people of Yundu and launched a counterattack against the Argali."

Su Yun flipped through the painting carefully and found that the woman in the painting looked somewhat similar to Concubine Ming Yu.

At that time, people believed that they had no chance of defeating the demonized argali and that attacking them would only lead to their deaths. However, Ming Shengyan still led a group of scholars to fight and won battles over and over again. Inspired by her, the Western countries also joined the battle.

The war lasted for two years, and finally the Argali Rebellion ended.

"After the Argali Rebellion ended, Saint Ming Shengyan went to explore the cause of the rebellion, then mysteriously disappeared and has never appeared since."

Su Yun frowned slightly.

At this time, Yundu was in chaos, with city guards checking everywhere. Xing Jiangmu was stopped several times on the road, and after asking around, he learned that the holy bell was stolen last night.

"The bell was stolen last night..."

Xing Jiangmu's face was ashen, his white hair trembling slightly. "Yes, the argali monster urged the bell to hit Su Shaoshi, and Yuanhui Lao Piaoba took action to block the bell, and then, and then... the bell disappeared! Get out of the city, get out of the city! We can't stay here for long!"

He was filled with fear and anxiety.

In order to maintain the reputation of Yuan Shuo's envoy, he worked hard for more than ten years, and his black hair turned white.

But after the arrival of the new envoys, the atmosphere in the embassy suddenly changed, with people cheating, stealing, robbing and smashing things.

"However, it seems that after the arrival of this new envoy, Yuan Shuo's reputation has gradually become famous. At the very least, the humiliation suffered by Yuan Shuo people has been reduced a lot..." Xing Jiangmu felt a little relieved.
