Chapter 252: Holy Maiden

Duan Lianqing may have made it up in a hurry, it seems to be a very sensitive matter, Su Miao and Song Chen came a step late, and they didn't hear what she specifically said to Duan's father, since that night, Duan's father didn't mention this matter anymore, and Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou didn't mention it again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, in the following days, Su Miao and the others had a certain degree of understanding of this Jing Si Sect. Although the general religion will have certain requirements for its members, in general, the more members the better, but this is not the case with Jing Sijiao. The only requirement that the Jingsi Sect have for its followers is the people of the former Yasukuni. If it weren't for Su Miao's occasional sight in Wandao Lake, if it weren't for Duan Lianqing following them for a while, they wouldn't have followed Duan Lianqing back to Huolan in turn, and naturally they wouldn't have known that there were still so many people from the Yasukuni of the previous dynasty living in Huolan City. Generally speaking, the people of the previous dynasty gathered together with their homeland in their hearts, which is not a good thing for the current imperial court. It may be precisely because of this that Duan Yi (Duan Lianqing's father) will make it a matter of course for everyone to gather together in the name of this sect, and will not be regarded as a heresy and suppressed by the government officials who do not know the inside story.

From the conversation between Duan Yi and Duan Lianqing that night, it can be inferred that this family was the leader of the guards who escorted the prince in the war that year, and he was armed with martial arts, so he naturally became the leader of the other sect members composed of ordinary guards or ordinary people. And although they gathered together in Huolan City, it seemed that it was purely for the purpose of uniting each other, and there seemed to be no dissatisfaction with the current court, or any intention to subvert it.

However, the time for Duan Yi's observation and understanding is still shallow, and Song Chen feels that it is too early to draw any conclusions at this time.

And Song Chen doesn't plan to continue the investigation. Song Hengyuan has so many talents and so many officials under his hands, and they are the ones who should pay attention to these things the most. Compared with Song Chen, Su Miao's relationship with Dalan's royal family is shallower, and Song Chen doesn't track it down, so she is more happy to be idle. So as soon as Song Chen said that she was going to leave, she immediately started to pack her bags.

Seeing that Song Chen couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time, his determination to draw a line with this was even stronger, all because of him, Miaomiao was passively involved in these things, although Miaomiao didn't mind, but he definitely couldn't say how happy he was, and he only wanted her to be happy with her, how could he be willing to let her have the slightest reluctance?

But after all, there is still a problem with this matter, that is, this Jing Sijiao may still have something to do with the master's side, before leaving, Song Chen still went to Duanfu with Su Miao. Because when he heard Duan Yi and Miao Luhou's father and several other major elders in the sect discussing things together, Duan Yi, as the sect leader, also told them that they would gather in Duan Mansion again today, and he would have an important matter to announce to them at that time.

Now that you've encountered it, let's listen to what the important thing is!

Having learned the lesson that they had been one step late and had missed the most crucial clue before, this time Song Chen and Su Miao had already made preparations, and arrived at their meeting hall before Duan Yi and the others appeared. After lurking for a while, those elders arrived one after another, and finally Duan Yi appeared at the door, to the surprise of the people present and Su Miao and Song Chen on the roof, Duan Yi's side was also followed by Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou, and there was also a young man who was similar to Duan Lian's youth.

Those who arrived first were puzzled. Generally, when they deliberate, these next generations are avoided, because if it is necessary to decide something, it is the elders in each household who make the decision, so their opinions are not needed for the time being. And if it is just to inform some decision, it is enough for these elders to listen to it and go home and gather their families to announce it again. If it was just Duan Lianqing who appeared, it would be normal, after all, she was the next sect leader, and it was understandable to participate in the deliberations in advance, and it was not that she had not done so before, but although Miao Luhou and the other young man were the two most outstanding in the younger generation, it was the first time they appeared on this occasion.

"Sect Master, this is ......" Someone couldn't help but ask.

This is also the difference between Jingsi Sect and other sects, in addition to unity, they do not have any special rules, so the distance between the upper and lower levels is not so strict, and the sect members also have something to say on weekdays, and Duan Yi does not have any condescending style.

"Lianqing, they have also reached the age when they should participate in the affairs of the sect, this time is just the beginning, and they will appear in the future." Duan Yi briefly explained and turned to the topic, "I already said last time, if you come here today, there is an extremely important announcement-"

Duan Yi paused when he said this, and when he saw that everyone was waiting with wide eyes and ears, he nodded and looked extremely satisfied: "That's the case, everyone knows that the ancestors of my Duan family escorted the Prince of Yasukuni to escape, but they encountered enemy troops and were separated from the prince halfway...... In fact, over the years, my Duan family has been trying every means to secretly find the whereabouts of the prince, but there has been no news. However, Dong Zhao has found traces of the princess in Denglin Kingdom, and I have already sent someone to pick it up, and I will come to Huolan City in the near future......"

"Ahh Really? ”

"What princess? How could the princess be in the Land of Lights? ”

"That's not the point! The point is, how did Dong Zhao know that it was the princess? ”

"That's it, how many years have been here, how can you determine the identity of the other party?"

“……”

As soon as Duan Yi's words came out, the people in the council hall discussed it one after another, and the overall meaning was that they felt a little unbelievable, it has been more than a hundred years since the previous dynasty, and the old people who came out of Yasukuni have gone through several generations, the Dong family was sent by the sect leader, and they all know that they are doing things in other places all the year round, but Dong Zhao, a descendant, how could he directly find the descendant of the prince back then?

Dong Zhao was the young man who was similar to Duan Lian's youth, he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that everyone was quite suspicious of him when they spoke, he looked at Duan Yi, nodded at him later, and acquiesced to his arguments. Dong Zhao stood up from where he was sitting, took two steps forward to the middle of the crowd sitting around, and arched his hand around: "Uncles, I didn't recognize a person directly when I saw him on the street and thought that the other party was a princess. My family is away all the year round, and my responsibility is actually to find the descendants of the crown prince back then, and I have all kinds of clues provided by the sect leader in my hands......"

"On the day I went to the Eagle Country to do good things and came back, when I passed through the Denglin Country, I found a young woman on the street, she was wearing a jade phoenix ornament I thought very familiar, and then I thought about it for a long time before I found out that it should be the item in the album given by the sect master, but I did not alarm the other party because of this, but quietly followed her home, and listened quietly for several days, and then I listened to her conversation with her mother, and I was sure that she was really the descendant of the prince that the sect leader said. They don't know that I'm around, so they shouldn't deliberately show me a few days of plays, right? ”

"It's hard to say." Some people still think that things are too coincidental.

"Anyway, when the princess arrives, the truth will be revealed." Dong Zhao was not in a hurry at this time, he reached into his arms and took out a small booklet, and then subconsciously looked at Duan Yi as if he remembered something, and after the latter nodded, Dong Zhao handed the booklet to the person who questioned the most, "Look at it, the sect leader said that the prince's descendants have this jade phoenix given by the queen mother back then." This jade phoenix was made by the most powerful carver in the whole of Yasukuni back then, and it was not something that ordinary people could imitate. What I saw in the princess was exactly the same as this booklet! And there is something he didn't say is that if this Yasukuni has been destroyed for more than 100 years, if it weren't for a handful of people looking for them, who would care about the princess of the former dynasty or something? This identity is not beneficial at all, it will only invite unwarranted disasters, and no one will try to pretend at all, right?

"I'm announcing this news to you today, just to make everyone mentally prepared." Duan Yi saw that the people in the council hall had different opinions on this matter, so if they were allowed to discuss it like this, it would be endless, "When the time comes, bringing the princess back, it will not have any impact on everyone's lives." The reason why my Duan family has always wanted to find the descendants of the crown prince is that on the one hand, this is the unfinished duty of the year that our Duan family has passed down from generation to generation, and on the other hand, it is also to continue the only royal bloodline of our Yasukuni...... As for the authenticity of this princess that everyone suspects, I will carefully identify it again after we arrive in Huolan City. ”

"The sect leader is right!" Miao Luhou This is the first time he has spoken since entering the council hall. Song Chen guessed correctly, Miao Luhou did have some different thoughts about Duan Lianqing, and today, when he saw Dong Zhao who came from afar and was courteous to Duan Yi, he thought about the meaning that Duan Yi's words a few days ago implied that he would only become her subordinate in the future, and couldn't help but make him wonder if the person who was suitable for Duan Lianqing in Duan Yi's mind would be Dong Zhao? But now that the situation is not clear, of course he has to work hard to win Duan Yi's favor, the first one is that what the sect leader has done is right and good.

Sure enough, Duan Yi nodded towards Miao Luhou: "That's the end of today's discussion on this matter!" However, there is one more thing I want to tell you, that is, after the princess takes over, everyone should change the title, and call the princess a 'saint'! "Because only the daughters of the emperor can be called princesses, and if their titles are not changed, one day they will be killed by even all the old people of Yasukuni. And at present, they are a church, and the words called saints can not only maintain respect for the princess, but also not reveal the princess's royal status.

The crowd echoed.

Su Miao and Song Chen on the roof looked at each other for a while, they said very seriously about something big last time Duan Yi, he still thought that he could hear something big here, but he didn't expect it to be such a small thing.

Yes, this finding the princess of the former dynasty or something may really be a big deal for these descendants of Yasukuni. But this is not what Song Chen and Su Miao want to hear, since they didn't hear the point they want here, Su Miao and Song Chen plan to leave and return to their predetermined route.

As for the question that brought them here earlier about whether Duan Lianqing and they had any relationship with the master, they didn't care about it, and they didn't even have to write a letter to Lin Jin. It's good that everything goes naturally, and if everyone really has a fate, it will always meet.

Withdrawing from the roof of the council hall of the Duan Mansion to the inn, Su Miao and the others immediately picked up the bags they had packed, took Xiaobai to the counter to settle the account, and then began to set off back to Cuilan City. In fact, if they go further north from Huolan City, they can continue to realize their journey to Snow Country, but their original plan was to eat while walking and go up the line, so they had to return to Cuilan City first, and then go through the north gate to continue to the next city.

However, when they walked to Yinlan City, it really seemed that they had met the team of Duan Yi who greeted their "Holy Maiden". At that time, they were entering a restaurant to find a private room to eat, and when the shopkeeper led them to the private room, they saw that someone was exiting at the door of a private room, and in the private room that had not yet been closed, the sharp-eyed Su Miao and Song Chen saw a person wearing a white gauze cloak inside, and the figure should be a woman, and it was four men who withdrew from the private room and came to the hall next to it to eat.

These four men should be the woman's guards, but the clothes on their bodies are not uniformly dressed like the guards of ordinary large families, and this guard group seems to be temporarily formed, if you want to talk about martial arts, it seems that it is just average, they are all ordinary people who have only practiced the frame and have not practiced any internal strength, and it seems that they are the descendants of the guards brought out by Duan Yi at the beginning. Judging by the fact that they had withdrawn instead of staying in the private room with the woman to eat together, first, they did not seem to be very familiar with the woman, and second, the woman did not seem to be in danger at the moment. If there is really a potential danger, these men should stay in the private room, and of course the situation of eating at the same table is not allowed, but it is completely possible for the restaurant to set up another table in the private room. After all, if you are out of the house, if the situation is tense, you can't care so much.

But even if the other party was the princess of the previous dynasty, Song Chen and Su Miao were not interested. It's just that they happened to be handsome, and they only discussed two sentences in the private room while waiting for the food to be served. Besides, even if they had the heart to listen, there was only the woman alone in that private room now, and it was estimated that there would be no other sound for them to hear besides the sound of eating.
