Chapter 424: Father and Daughter
Of the thirteen incense courtyards under His Royal Highness Tianshu, seven of the heads of the incense courtyards and the chief of the incense envoys had problems one after another, or died suddenly, causing the affairs of the entire incense courtyard to fall into chaos; or modify the account books, falsify the number of incense medicines, deceive and conceal them, and enrich their own pockets. And when this kind of thing happened, the rest of the incense houses were also more or less affected. After all, it is not a trivial matter for several incense court directors to suddenly die, and those who know a little about the struggle above and have a little power in their hands will be panicked in their hearts, so even if there is no big chaos in the other incense courtyards, small troubles are always indispensable.
For these things, the Tianshu Hall had to continuously send people to the Xiangyuan to deal with it, and if there was a murder, it was even more necessary to use the people of the criminal court. It is no accident that these things will happen in the Xiangyuan, and the Tianshu Hall also understands who the enemies are, and when the other party causes them trouble, they also give a counterattack, so during this time, the chaos under the Xiangdian is actually worse than above.
And because these things broke out suddenly after the Mid-Autumn Festival, one after another, there was a shortage of people in the Tianshu Palace, and even the incense attendants around Bai Guanghan were sent out several. An Lan also understood more and more why Jing Yan had to come back before the end of the year, when Nirvana would completely break out, and Baili Ling would never miss that opportunity. When the situation above is unpredictable, the bottom must not collapse first, so the Tianshu Hall needs more manpower.
In November, heavy snow began to fall, and in previous years, during this time, whether on or off the mountain, almost all that needed to be busy was the year-end sacrifices, as well as the exchanges with dignitaries and nobles, as well as the preparation of various incense feasts. But this year, regardless of the chaos of the incense courtyard below, it is the seven incense halls on the mountain, and no more incense feasts have been prepared since the Mid-Autumn Festival. The great incense masters also rejected all the banquet invitations sent from Chang'an City, and no one would leave the Changxiang Hall at this time. Everyone was waiting for that final result.
Lan Indigo knocked on the door, walked in with a body of snow, took off his cloak and handed it to Chi Shao next to him, and then handed the paperwork in his hand to An Lan: "Mr. Guanghan's convoy has entered Zhongshan, where there is a relationship with the Tianquan Palace, Mr. Jingchen has already sent a message to the past, and they are all ready." There were no big problems with the smooth passage of the convoy. ”
Bai Guanghan handed over almost all the rights of the Tianshu Hall to An Lan. Therefore, Lan Indigo now basically reports directly to her about the current situation.
An Lan opened the map on the table again and looked at it, then frowned slightly: "After Zhongshan, it is Yaolu." ”
Yaolu was the fief of Prince An. Liu Xuanji used to be a maid in Prince An's mansion, and later, she was able to enter the Changxiang Hall and sit in the position of the great incense master of the Xuanji Palace. In addition to their own talents. Naturally, the help of Prince An's Mansion is indispensable, and in fact, it has been nearly a hundred years. Prince An's Mansion and Xuanji Palace have always been inextricably linked.
Lan Indigo nodded: "After Yaolu, it is Hegu." ”
Hegu is the territory of the Tianshu Palace, so as long as the convoy can pass through Yaolu smoothly. Even if it's safe.
However, Xie Yun's words did not have any effect on Cui Wenjun, but there was an unexpected gain in Liu Xuanji. Bai Guanghan is dead. Now except for Jing Yan, no one knows how Bai Guanghan died at that time.
Liu Xuanji never cared about An Lan. An Lan's words didn't have any effect on her, so the Xuanji Palace, which was originally on their side, now returned to a neutral position. But at the moment, Liu Xuanji's neutral attitude is likely to give Baili Ling and Xie Yun more opportunities, without the help of a third party, after the convoy of the Tianshu Hall enters Yaolu, their whereabouts will be completely exposed. The time, route, and specific personnel of the convoy trip are likely to be known by the people of Baililing, and it is really hard to say what losses the convoy will have at that time.
"Master Anxiang, please take a look at these things first." Lan Indigo pointed to the documents that had just been handed to her, "Before, I suspected that the Tianji Hall had secretly cultivated some power similar to that of the Torture Chamber, but now it has almost been confirmed. ”
An Lan's heart sank, and she opened the paperwork, and the more she looked down, the more solemn her face became. No wonder Baili Ling didn't care much about the criminal court all along, it turned out that he had a plan.
After a moment, she raised her eyes: "Does Mr. Guanghan know?" ”
Indigo nodded.
An Lan asked, "Sir...... How so? ”
Lan Indigo said: "Mr. Guanghan only said that he will see it in the future." ”
An Lan pondered for a while, and then said, "I know, you can go and get busy." As she spoke, she stood up, and when Indigo had withdrawn, she got up too, put on her cloak, and walked out. She planned to go to Jing Yan to talk about this matter, and ask, how should she convince Liu Xuanji, or should she really leave it alone?
The goldfinch hasn't come to her for a while, could it be that Liu Xuanji also restricted the goldfinch because of this matter?
Because she was in the Tianshu Palace, and the Fengzhu Hall in the Xuanzhu Hall was not far away, she didn't bring an attendant when she came out. In fact, each corner tower in this hall is watched by powerful martial arts attendants, so unless the Great Incense Master is there in person, it is a mosquito, and it cannot fly in casually.
So when An Lan was on the corridor of the Xuanzhu Palace, when she suddenly saw An Qiu, she was so shocked that she took a step back, and at that moment, she thought that Baili Ling was coming in person, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body.
And at about the same time, there was a voice from the side that was not in a hurry: "Amitabha, it was the little monk who brought him in, and Master An Xiang was not surprised." ”
An Lan raised her eyes and saw that the Great Fragrance Master of Jingchen was also standing at the end of the corridor, her face was slightly relaxed, but she did not let down her guard, she just paused before speaking: "What does Mr. Jingchen mean?" ”
She knew that Jingchen and Anqiu were brothers in the same school, but Anqiu was clearly standing on Baili Ling's side, and Jingchen had always stood on Jingyan's side, but now, Jingchen had brought Anqiu to the Tianshu Hall and brought it to her!
Jingchen stood there from afar, clasping his hands together in front of An Lan: "Senior brother, he wants to say a few words to you, and the little monk originally wanted to convey it on his behalf, but senior brother said that some words can only be said between father and daughter, and others can't convey them." The little monk felt that it made sense, so he brought him over. Master An Xiang rest assured, the little monk is waiting here, as soon as the senior brother finishes speaking, the little monk will take him out and never disturb him much. ”
An Lan had to look at An Qiu, still with vigilance in her eyes.
Anqiu looked at her, and then smiled lightly: "Cui Wenjun came to me some time ago, it should be a few days after you went to find her." ”
An Lan frowned slightly, and she didn't know what An Qiu meant when she suddenly came to her and said this.
Anqiu coughed before continuing: "She doesn't really believe in you completely, but she can't refuse you, and for your sake, she is even willing to take the initiative to ask me to understand Nirvana." ”
An Lan was secretly surprised, why did Cui Wenjun look for Anqiu, could it be that Anqiu also knew Nirvana? But how could he understand Nirvana? (To be continued)
