Whether it is Han, Wei, or Wu, what gods and immortals are worshiped by the people of Qianshou in private, most of them are considered obscene and will be arrested.

The establishment of the Loyalty and Righteousness Temple has established a spiritual belief for the people of Nanxiang, so there are not a few people who come on weekdays.

Nanxiang is rich, the material life has gone up, and the spiritual needs will naturally come out, and the appearance of the Zhongyi Temple is very timely to meet the spiritual needs of the people in Nanxiang.

Therefore, the Loyal Shrine is a place of faith for the rangers, and for others, it is also a place to find spiritual comfort.

The green smoke of the Boshan furnace rose, and the maiden added some spices to it, and then stood in front of the statues of the two princes, and worshiped reverently.

Then she raised her head, and her eyes fell on Zhang Fei, who was holding the Zhangba snake spear in both hands, with a look of admiration and sadness in her eyes.

After a long time, it was not until the maid next to her came over and reminded in a low voice, "Lady." ”

The girl came to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled apologetically at the people waiting to worship behind her, and turned and walked out.

When the man behind saw the girl's appearance clearly, his expression was stunned, and he was actually in a trance: a woman with such a posture is really rare.

Just seeing that she was dressed luxuriously and there were many servants waiting in the front garden, I knew that she should be the lady of a big family that she couldn't afford to offend.

Watching the woman walk out of the ancestral hall, the man finally walked to the vestibule uncontrollably, and quietly asked the servant who specialized in cleaning the ancestral hall, "Where is that little lady?" ”

Before the servant could answer, he heard a heavy "um" from someone next to him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you?" ”

The man followed the sound and saw a ranger with a long sword on his waist, walking over with an unkind face, looking at him vigilantly.

The man's expression was panicked at first, and then he looked around, and then he remembered that this was Nanxiang, or the Loyal and Righteous Temple, and he couldn't use weapons at will, so he was bold, "Who do you care who I am?" ”

Ranger sneered, "I don't care who you are on weekdays, but if you dare to inquire about Zhang Xiaoniang here, I will dare to care about you, say!" What is your heart? ”

"Little lady Zhang?"

Ranger Er's voice was a little louder, and many people next to him looked over, and a few Ranger also came over with their weapons in their hands, "Second brother, what's going on?" Isn't there any dog thief who doesn't have long eyes who dares to hit Zhang Xiaoniang's idea? ”

Zhang ...... Little lady Zhang? ”

The man opened his mouth and stammered, looking at not only the rangers, but even a few young Confucian students rolling up their sleeves, and finally panicked in his heart, secretly saying that this little lady is a good man in Nanxiang? How can you win the hearts of the people like this?

"Say! Why did you inquire about Mrs. Zhang? ”

The first ranger came over and asked viciously, "If you don't tell me why, don't want to get out of this Loyal Shrine safely!" ”

"So-and-so is ...... curiosity"

"Curious? I think you're! ”

"Wronged!"

……

Zhang Xingyi had already led people out of the gate of the ancestral hall, but she didn't know that there were people in it because of her.

"Lady, are we going back home or booking a private room?"

The maid asked softly.

"Forget it, let's go home, today is the end of the month, right? There will be a lot of people coming to the ancestral hall, so let's not join in the fun. ”

Zhang Xingyi shook his head and said.

After speaking, she was about to get into the car, when she suddenly inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, her face changed, and she looked at it fixedly, and she was really not dazzled.

Zhang Xingyi was taken aback, his face was frightened, and he hurriedly hurried to greet him, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

Although the man who was called his uncle had gray temples, he had an elegant temperament, a handsome face, and a tall figure, even though he was old, he was still a handsome old man with a good demeanor, and it was Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Beside him, accompanied by a man in his thirties, he was quite dignified, and he was the Taishou Ma Jian of Hanzhong.

Neither of them wore official uniforms, only Confucian clothes, which seemed to be a private visit to micro-clothing.

Behind them, there were also a few followers, all of whom had superb eyes, looked extremely strong, and had weapons hanging from their waists.

"Siniang? How did you end up here? ”

Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Xingyi, and there was some surprise in his eyes, and then he looked at the Zhongyi Temple, and then he came to his senses.

I saw him smile and say, "I just came from Nanzheng, and I don't know the way, Siniang has been in Nanxiang for more than a year, right?" It must be familiar, can you show me this place where demons are rampant? ”

Zhang Xingyi looked around nervously and said in a low voice, "Uncle knows that Nanxiang is rampant with demons, so why is he so white?" Isn't it dangerous? ”

"Don't scare your uncle." Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, "Nanxiang demons are rampant, and they are not wicked people. I've heard people say that even if it's a ranger, you have to follow the rules when you go to Nanxiang, where is the danger? ”

"I'm afraid that there are people who don't know what to do."

Zhang Xingyi still persuaded bitterly.

"As long as you don't know the identities of a few of us, how can there be someone who doesn't know what to do?" Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Zhang Xingyi was helpless, turned around and looked at the ranger who was standing at the gate of the ancestral hall from afar, looking over here intentionally or unintentionally, so he nodded and said, "In this case, the uncle is with the concubine." ”

"Prime Minister, there are people watching over there."

Seeing that the prime minister was going to the ancestral hall, the guards behind him reminded him.

"It's okay, those are the rangers gathered in the ancestral hall, they are protecting me."

Zhang Xingyi explained.

Zhuge Liang followed Zhang Xingyi to the ancestral hall, and when he heard this, he asked with interest, "Siniang can actually drive these rangers?" ”

"How can I do that?" Zhang Xingyi smiled, "This Zhongyi Hall was originally built by the rangers to worship the ......."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingyi was vague, "It's also about uncles and adults, I also made a little effort when I built it, so I got it out." ”

A few people crossed the gate, and the rangers who were originally wandering in the gate really deliberately avoided them.

"This place is upside down."

Zhuge Liang looked at the vestibule and pointed to both sides of the vestibule, "How can there be so many wings in the ancestral hall?" ”

"Some of them are used for storytelling, and some of them are used as gathering places for visitors from other places, and if there are too many people, they have to use the open space in the vestibule, so the place is bigger."

Zhang Xingyi explained, "If someone comes from afar and doesn't have money and food for a while, they can also come here to help sweep the floor or something, and allow them to sleep in it at night." ”

"Out-of-town?"

Zhuge Liang didn't quite understand.

"Well, for example, Longxi, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Jincheng, Nanzhong, and even Kanto, there are more, those who want to do some business in a group, or pass news to each other, win over feelings or something, most of them will come here to set up a banquet."

"I heard that there are also people who have specially chartered a wing room, which is used as a long-term contact venue, and it can be regarded as providing some money and food for the ancestral hall, so that the ancestral hall can afford to hire someone to help clean it."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart moved, "Isn't that where you can hear a lot of news from the north and south?" ”

"Maybe, the concubine doesn't understand it either. However, a few days ago, someone spread the news here, saying that the north was preparing to re-issue five baht coins, and many people were happy, saying that it would be more convenient to buy and sell, and I don't know if it was true. ”

Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes, they just knew about this news, but they didn't expect it to spread here.

At this time, I saw a person running past several people in embarrassment, and someone shouted behind him, "Where did you come from to come to a place like the Zhongyi Temple, and you dare not put away your dirty thoughts?" I can't kill you! ”

"That's it! Our reputation has been ruined by these people! ”
