The dove is a member of the Church of Our Lady!

Xi Zhicai was shocked for a long time, and only now did he really understand what it meant for the Virgin Mary to be pervasive, and he didn't even know that it was lurking around him. "Brother Yi...... Well, I mean Luan Yanzhou, why did your sect leader let you do this? ”

"Didn't the slave family just say? For your safety! Just like this time, when we learned that you were going south to Jiangdong, we specially organized people and horses to escort your safety along the way, ensuring that you could arrive at Moling safely and return to your home in Hebei safely. Lu Ling changed her evil spirit just now, and redressed as innocent, as if nothing had happened just now.

"You mean to send me back to Hebei all the time?"

After getting Lu Ling's affirmative answer, Xi Zhi was stunned. Obedient and obedient, Lu Ling said that he was sending him back to Hebei, not escorting Jinan...... The deep meaning implied in this can be imagined. "It turns out that Brother Yi and Brother Jia have been silently paying attention to me and helping me! And this help is completely unreciprocated. If it weren't for today's distress, Lu Ling and the others would have to reveal their identities, and they would still be kept in the dark! Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai was greatly moved. This time, suddenly you proposed to change the route and detour to Xuzhou and Qingzhou, is it also the meaning of Luan Yanzhou? ”

"Exactly!" Lu Ling nodded, "The sect leader said that he really wanted to see Mr. Xi, but he was afraid that Mr. would not see him, so he asked Lu Ling to use some little tricks to trick Mr. Of course, it is up to Mr. to see or not to see, and we will never force it. If you are willing to meet the leader, you can go directly to Jinan along the canal. The sect leader is not in Jinan for the time being, and he will be able to rush back in the near future; If you don't want to see the master, you can also stop by the plains. The Lord Guo Jia is already waiting on the plains. ”

"This ......" Xi Zhi hesitated for a moment. Since Luan Yi married Cai Yan and Diao Chan, he has not been able to meet this old friend to see what Luan Yi has become now. I heard that he has a child, does he look like Luan Yi or Cai Yan (outsiders don't know that Luan Shimeng was born to Xiao Hong)?

Every time he had to make a decision, a voice came out of his heart telling him, "You can't go, you don't want to leave if you go." He didn't want to stay in Jinan and stay by Luan Yi's side, he couldn't explain the reason, but he just didn't want to.

But when I think about it, the brothers have taken care of themselves silently for so many years, and today they have saved their lives, and it is too ruthless not to see each other.

After thinking about the contradictions for a while, he said to Lu Ling: "Luan Yanzhou is busy, so I won't bother in the future." How convenient, why don't you go to the plains to meet Lord Guo! ”

Lu Ling maintained her trademark smile as always, "The slave family just said, everything is arranged by Mr. Xi." Please! ”

……

The journey back to the north became much smoother because of the addition of Lu Ling and his party. At the checkpoints along the road, all the waist cards that Lu Ling was carrying were released, and the village and town churches on the way were also well-treated, and they did not have to worry about eating, drinking, and lodging.

When Xi Zhicai went south to Jiangdong, although he also passed by Yingchuan, Runan and other territories to which Yuzhou belonged, he was in a hurry at that time and could not take care of enjoying the scenery along the way. Now, the overall situation has been decided, although it is a defeat, but it is a good thing to worry about, and the way back does not need to be in such a hurry.

Therefore, on the way back to Hebei, Xi Zhicai walked very slowly, enjoying the beautiful scenery, prosperous scenes, and happy crowds on the banks of the Xuzhou Canal all the way. And, of course, the church he hated.

In the past eight years, Xi Zhicai has always been very resistant to the Church of Our Lady, and has always felt that the Religion of Our Lady is the product of false words to confuse the public and deceive people's hearts, and the so-called proselytizing is a high-sounding fraud.

However, after calming down and seeing the life of the people of the diocese and the development of the affairs of the diocese, he suddenly felt that the Church of Our Lady was not the same as he had imagined. It not only enveloped believers around Luan Yi, but also endowed believers with a lot of things. For example, spiritual pursuit and hope, ideological enlightenment and benevolence, as well as soul cleansing and condensation.

Because of the existence of the Church of Our Lady, people's spiritual world has become rich, spiritually rich, and life is fulfilling. In the privileged environment shaped by the Church of Our Lady, people become pursuing, yearning, and after working hard towards the goal of their hearts, they will be richly rewarded.

With a fair and reasonable return, people's pursuits are satisfied and they enjoy the joy of harvest. Subsequently, it is natural to set higher goals for yourself to pursue and work hard, forming a virtuous cycle of self-realization.

As a result, people became richer and happier. In this year of endless conquest, the living conditions of the people of the diocese far exceeded that of any other dynasty, and the spiritual outlook of the ordinary people was happier and healthier than at any other time in history.

The will of the people is like this, and we can be proud to be the actual rulers.

Of course, the ruler mentioned here cannot be the current emperor. In the eyes of the people, the emperor is out of reach, and I have never heard of him doing good things for the people on weekdays. On the contrary, the Lord's emissaries are at their side, carrying out the Master's decrees at every moment to improve every aspect of their lives. Every once in a while, the head of the church will publish an article in the Church's internal journal, the Holy Light, to analyze current affairs, or to write a psalm, or to share his own thoughts on life. This makes the people living at the bottom of the society feel that the leader is by their side, and although he has great power, he is one of them.

As a result, Luan Yi has established an image of being close to the people in the hearts of the people, and the people love him far more than today. What shocked Xi Zhicai even more was that through intentional or unintentional communication with the people, he found that children under the age of fifteen in the diocese did not even know what the Son of Heaven was, but only knew that the head of the sect was the main lord who commanded the world.

In this regard, Xi Zhicai was shocked for a while. I immediately did some research and finally found the key to the problem - education.

In the diocese, the Church of Our Lady of Notre Dame conducts compulsory education for local youth, and all children who have reached the age of eight can go to the local church every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to receive free instruction from a priest, mainly to learn literacy and arithmetic, for a total of four years. The first literacy book I learned was the Blessed Virgin. Until you have memorized the Sutra of Our Lady, you can read other books.

Under the influence of such an educational environment, the children regarded Nuwa as the only deity in their lives from an early age, regarded Luan Yi, the leader of the Holy Mother, as the only monarch in their lives, and took the ascension to heaven after death as their lifelong mission, which no one could shake. At the same time, in the process of education, the church deliberately made the title of "emperor" remote, and the emperor faded out of people's field of vision in life, which also caused the current situation of young people not knowing the king.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhi laughed at himself. I think he was skeptical about Luan Yi's move to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes. But I never thought that I was too naïve, and Luan Yi had already taken precautions, and now it is not Luan Yi who should be worried, but the young emperor, and Liu Mu.

From Jiangdong to the plains, the road that could have been completed in a month was originally completed in a month, but because of the drama Zhi, it took two months to stop and go all the way, and it took two months to see and ask everywhere.

When we arrived at the plain, it was late autumn, and the land of Hebei was full of cold winds.

At this time, when Xi Zhi arrived in Pingyuan City, he saw Guo Jia curled up in his red robe, which symbolized the identity of the bishop, shivering, snot and tears, sluggishness, and cold light.

However, after seeing Xi Zhicai's figure, he immediately cheered up, became excited, and waved at Xi Zhicai like he did when he was a child, "Hey, old play!" You've got it. If I don't come again, I'll be an ice sculpture. Haha......"

Xi Zhicai trotted in front of Guo Jia and saluted respectfully, "Hurt Bishop Guo to wait for a long time, and Zhicai's sin is also!" ”

"Don't come to this nonsense." Guo Jia straightened Xi Zhicai's crooked posture, "What bullshit bishop, don't stumble on me." Let's call me Jia Di! That's right...... Brother Feng Xian asked me to bring it to you. He had also wanted to come to the city gate to greet him, but he had to leave the city for some military business. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. ”

"Lu Tingshi is so fond of love, Zhicai is terrified."

"Oops! I said don't be so polite. Guo Jia took Xi Zhicai's hand and said, "It's too cold here, it's not a place to speak." Let's go home first! ”

"It's good!"

Xi Zhicai followed all the way to Guo Jia's temporary residence in the plain and sat down in the hall. His own servants brought warm wine and dishes. Guo Jia waved the servants away, leaving Lu Ling alone to pour wine and serve, and then chatted with Xi Zhicai.

The content of the chat is all family affairs and brotherhood, and there is no political related content at all. He told Xi Zhicai that he married a wife and took a concubine. Concubine Liu gave birth to a baby son for him.

He also told Mao Jue, don't look at Mao Jue's late marriage, and only have one daughter-in-law - Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu, but this guy is very powerful, he has raised five children in seven years of marriage, one of which is a dragon and phoenix fetus, both children and daughters, and they live a very happy life, but they have a little tracheitis.

He also told Mao Jue that the brothers were the most glamorous, and after marrying Cai Yan and Diao Chan, two beauties in the city, they welcomed Zhen Mi and Princess Changping into the house one after another, and married the second daughter of Yang Biao's family, the chief lieutenant of the dynasty, back to the year, and the family was all beautiful. It stands to reason that there are a group of wives and concubines, and it should be prosperous, but Brother Yi has only one daughter under his knees until now. As for the reason......

Guo Jia said sadly: "When the first emperor was in power, he was very jealous of Brother Yi'er. He ordered Zhang Rang to send someone to infiltrate Yi Ge'er's house and put medicine in his family's meals. caused his daughter to become pregnant, which made him unable to have more children. ”

"Peerless heir? The first emperor actually treated Yi Ge'er like this. Xi Zhicai's cheeks were bruised, and he gritted his teeth.

Guo Jia let out a long sigh and said, "Hey! Who's to say it isn't! Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Fortunately, Brother Yi is fine, a while ago I heard from my family that my newly married daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, and I hope it will be a boy who will inherit the family business in the future. ”
