Under the candlelight, half of Ji Chenlong's face was covered with shadows, and the other half was still as pale as asceticism.

He looked at Cheng Qinian's expression even colder.

Lingbi County is one of the five counties under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, and there were Mengke Qianhu Mansion during the Jin and Song border wars a few years ago.

That is where Ji Chenlong settled in the Jin Kingdom at the beginning.

When Li Hailan came to Lingbi County to look for him, she had been to this Songfeng Temple many times.

Because there was a small Taoist temple built by Song Shang in Tangfang, Li Hailan would go there from time to time, so he didn't care at that time.

Where could he have thought that Li Hailan would pull in the foreign aid of the Quanzhen Sect before entering the palace?

Even Ji Qingchen looked at Cheng Qinian, who was only twenty-three or four-year-old in a silk shirt, and scolded in his heart:

Demon Road.

"Although Li Sanniang has returned from abroad, she has great righteousness and has admired her for a long time. I heard her say that she has been in Tangfang for ten years and has been listening to Ji Niangzi. Ji Niangzi did not forget her homeland, sheltered the victims, and returned to the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of miles, and now the lives of the Jin Kingdom are devastated, presumably Ji Niangzi has already been very sad......"

Cheng Qinian solemnly bowed his hands and began to lobby and pat himself on the back, but Ji Qingchen couldn't listen to it anymore.

She cut it off directly and said:

"Hydraulic lifters can't be sold to you."

Not to mention that this person actually wants to buy Tangfang firearms.

“……”

Cheng Qinian was speechless.

Without waiting for him to make a comeback, she smiled directly:

"After burning down Kinkakuji Temple, do you want the lord of the Jin Kingdom to stop the will of the Quanzhen Sect to preach?"

She looked at Cheng Qinian coldly and found that although this person was young. looks ordinary, but there is a resolute look in his eyes, which makes his usual appearance reveal a terrifying temperament.

"Or, Li Niangniang will also make a message to the lord of the country, asking him to send an envoy to your Quanzhen Taoist temple to incense and ask for blessing?"

Because the Kinkakuji Temple where Master Kong Ming was born was burned, of course she was secretly angry.

She knew that there were many Han people in the palace of the lord of the Jin Kingdom, and Li Hailan also had enough brains to protect herself in the palace.

But being a favorite concubine is another matter entirely.

She has only been in the palace for two years, and she has been promoted from a palace maid to a nine-rank female official. From a female official to Mrs. Liupin, she is now the ninth concubine who has entered the second rank.

With only Li Hailan, a Han girl with no background, how could she be so smooth?

"I want to come. The inner Cheng Liang beggar slave in the palace of the lord of the Jin Kingdom is also a disciple of your Quanzhen Sect? ”

Ji Chenlong suddenly interjected, obviously having a suspicion.

After Cheng Qinian hinted at his identity today, he figured out why Li Hailan dared to completely break away from Tang Fang.

She broke off her marriage with him Ji Chenlong. In fact, it is difficult to accommodate yourself in Tangfang.

Cheng Qinian smiled but did not answer.

Ji Qingchen almost regretted it. In order to protect the safety of going to sea, the Song merchants of Tangfang built three small Xu Zhenjun Taoist temples near the mouth of the Tangfang River.

Because Xu Zhenjun was a famous water control god in the fifth dynasty, she didn't care too much about the people who went to the Taoist temple to cultivate incense.

She herself is still a temple slave in Zhuma Temple.

She really didn't expect Li Hailan to come out of Tangfang and meet the magic stick.

……

Li Hailan entered the Beiyuan Yingxia Palace and saw a gloomy face.

"陛xià......"

She knew that it was because of the fire at Kinkakuji Temple that the lord of the kingdom even more suspected that he had angered the heavens that he would have no heirs.

That's why he lived in the palace in the northern suburbs of the city in the name of summer vacation.

Wan Yanjing saw her beautiful figure, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Summoned her to come over.

"I heard that your father has several granges outside the city, since he is out of the capital. You might as well announce that he will come to see him. ”

Li Hailan had just been taken from the Imperial Palace in Zhongdu and was shocked when she heard this.

Thanks to Ji Qingchen's preparation, he transferred the name of the grange to Li Wending's name.

Even if he deliberately traced it, he could only find out that Ji Niangzi, a second-class wealthy family, sold three paddy fields to his family.

She leaned on Wan Yanjing's chest, thinking that there was a concubine in the palace who was more uneasy than Wan Yanjing.

This time, the palace sent an envoy to Kinkakuji Temple to offer incense, which was a grace that Concubine Pucha finally asked for after her daughter's death.

Now it has been burned.

Seeing Concubine Li's serious illness in the palace, this reminded her of the eldest lady even more.

If there is no Golden Pavilion Temple, the old Song monk taught the eldest lady Song Wen and Song Shu, and there are many strange workshops and the like.

Without these, there would be no Tang Fang.

Therefore, when she met Cheng Qinian in Songfeng Temple, she was willing to listen quietly to him say something about the Quanzhen Sect.

"Your Majesty, the real concubine Niangniang, she asked for a life talisman for Her Majesty, and the concubine forwarded it to Her Majesty."

She took out a long apricot brocade bag from the Quanzhen Sect.

In the brocade bag is a bright red cinnabar charm.

……

Ji Qingchen looked at Cheng Qinian with disdain.

Her brain was pumped, and she would agree to the "big deal" of exchanging the Quanzhen Sect's evil exorcism talisman for the mechanical diagram of Tang Fang.

"Cheng Gongzi, for the sake of Huang Qige, it's not negotiable that the Cheng family has to buy a hydraulic hoisting machine."

Cheng Qinian completely understood her eyes.

Fifty thousand Song Qian plus the bid of the Ten True Sect Talismans, he thought she was easy to deceive?

"It's me Meng Lang, I heard that Ji Niangzi has always been a Buddhist Tanyue ......"

He immediately said that the price was negotiable, and his eyes glanced over the Buddha hairpin on her bun.

He knows very well that the laity believe in religion, whether they believe in Buddhism or the Tao, to seek peace and the next life.

Merchants want to make a fortune in this world.

His bid was just a temptation, as long as she believed in the retribution of the ghosts and gods, he was not afraid that he would not be able to move her to join the Quanzhen Sect.

When the time comes, do you still need to buy the machinery in the Tangfang workshop?

After making an appointment to visit again tomorrow, Ji Chenlong sent him away with a calm face.

When he returned to his study, he brought a secret letter.

"Sister. You see. ”

Ji Qingchen looked at the news from Chuzhou City in surprise.

Lou Yun has returned to Shanyang City.

He's going to pick her up.

was still hesitant to go to Zhongdu City to see Li Hailan, but after reading the letter, she had already made up her mind.

"Arrange for me to cross the Huai River and go back to Chuzhou."

She sighed.

The Golden Pavilion Temple has been unable to go, and she has also seen Ji Chenlong.

It is impossible for Lou Yun to really take the risk to pick up Jin Guo and Suzhou to pick her up.

"I'll arrange it overnight."

Ji Chenlong decisively agreed, but Ji Qingchen could see that he was still looking forward to her going to the Central Capital City once.

"Erlang, the time is not right now......"

Before she could say more, Ji Chenlong laughed and said:

"Sister, don't worry. In the current situation, I see that a war is about to start, and I can't leave here to see Hailan in Zhongdu. ”

Although it was arranged overnight, in order not to bring trouble to Erlang, Ji Qingchen took the boat back to Chuzhou and dragged it for several days.

It was more than half a month after she left Suzhou.

She did not ride a donkey or mule cart from the caravan, nor could she cross the river directly from Suzhou to the other side.

She took the Jin Guocao boat arranged by Ji Chenlong to transport grain, and sat more than 30 miles east from Suzhou.

She anchored at the Caoyun Wharf in Jinguo, and after two days, she finally waited for the boat that Lou Yun had so bothered to arrange to pick her up.

Wang Shiqiang's envoy ship back to the Song Kingdom. (To be continued......)
