Zhao Jing told calmly.

"Daddy, what do you mean?"

Zhao Wanqi's brows furrowed, a little puzzled.

"Wait for the Father to finish speaking. This Manichaean religion advocates that 'the law is equal, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior', and that believers are all one family, and at the same time, they also advocate eating vegetarian food, cutting off meat, saving money, and practicing mutual assistance among the faithful. Internally, politically equal to each other, regardless of superiority and inferiority, everyone is united to fight the enemy together; Economically, all money and property are used for public enjoyment, and there is no distinction between you and me......"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Jing's mouth.

Zhao Wanqi's frown frowned even tighter, listening to her father's words, she felt that this Manichaeism was not a good kind, and the plan was very big.

They are now in Qingxi County, and their situation is not good.

"Daddy, in that case, do we still want to stay in Qingxi?"

"Yes, not only do you want to stay in Qingxi, but you also have to help this Fang La achieve something great!"

"My daughter is stupid. I don't know what my father meant? ”

"The meaning of being a father is very simple - drive wolves and attack tigers!"

"Oh, I see."

Zhao Wanqi suddenly realized.

At this time, Jin Chengwu trotted in from not far away.

"Daddy, Ah Wu is back, I'll go ask about the situation."

"Well, go for it......"

Zhao Jing said.

Zhao Wanqi walked towards Jin Chengwu.

Zhao Jing looked at her daughter's back and shook her head slightly. Although the daughter is smart, she is not as good as the boy in terms of strategy. It would be nice if there was the ability of the red lady...... He was very curious, where did the little girl master next to She Yi come from?

He can actually point points, easily control Xue Ying, and defeat the four masters of the Rongwang Mansion by himself...... Such powerful martial arts are really rare.

What's more, I recently heard that he has been given the birth of a jinshi by Huizong. Huizong Zhao Ji is a little absurd, but he is still very cautious in doing things, and usually he will not do anything too absurd. I'm afraid it's not just because he is the son of the Red Lady that he can get such an honor.

It seems that he still underestimated the young man. Knowing this, he won so that he and Wanqi became relatives early, completely on his side. Now...... Since Huizong gave him the background of Jinshi, he may not be able to give him a horse or other official positions.

Zhao Jing's eyes slowly closed, thinking about the reasons for his previous failure, thinking about his current situation, and thinking about his future development......

In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, mixed peanut trees, and a group of warblers fly wildly.

"The county lord has already sent the letter...... Just ......"

Jin Chengwu swallowed and stopped.

"Just what's wrong?"

Zhao Wanqi looked at Jin Chengwu nervously.

"It's just that now he is not the same person he used to be, and he probably won't agree...... After all, we're in such a situation......"

Jin Chengwu said with his head down.

"Ah Wu, tell me carefully, what's going on?"

Zhao Wanqi's gaze sharpened.

"The county lord, Huizong gave him the origin of Jinshi, 10,000 taels of gold, and he can enter the hall at any time...... Not only that, Huizong even sent his favorite concubine, Bianjing's No. 1 Oiran Li Shishi, to his mansion and stayed for two days...... It's a lot to think about...... His subordinates also heard that Huizong was discussing with his ministers and would grant Emperor Fulin Emperor as his wife......"

"What? You mean, Zhao Ji gave him all the teachers Li? And marry him Fulin? ”

Zhao Wanqi's fist slowly clenched, and two cold rays shot out of her eyes.

"County Lord, let's let it go...... If that's the case, there is no Xue Ying's matter, or he will come with you...... Now, if you ask him to give up all his glory and wealth to live in exile with you, how can he be willing? ”

Regarding Xue Ying's use of Zhao Jing to threaten Zhao Wanqi, he also listened to Liu Dehua and them. I felt that Zhao Wanqi was doing something inappropriate and impulsive......

In these years, a woman's chastity is better than her surname, even if she cares about the safety of her father King Rong, she can solve it in other ways, instead of compromising and exchanging her body for ......

Moreover, as long as she analyzes it a little, she can easily know that even if she is insulted by Xue Yingling, it is not necessarily that Xue Ying will help King Rong in turn.

The most undesirable thing is that she knew that She Yi would save her regardless of her surname, and she finally said something like that......

This can't all be blamed on the poor protection of the four major guards......

"No, I'm going back to Luoyang."

Zhao Wanqi walked straight to the north.

"The lord of the county shall not be ......"

Jin Chengwu hurriedly called Zhao Wanqi, and the guards who were resting on the ground also looked at Zhao Wanqi. Zhao Wanqi stopped, and Jin Chengwu hurriedly walked over.

"County Lord, you are not the same as before...... Once he is arrested by the government, what will the prince do? Have you ever wondered? Besides, even if you go to Luoyang, what can you do? ”

"What can it be? I want to tell him that I care about my father as much as I care about him...... It was my fault that day, I didn't give him notice to take him with me, and I shouldn't have said anything like that...... However, if I make a mistake, I will correct it......"

Zhao Wanqi's eyes were teary, and she looked like she wanted to cry...... Seeing the fewer familiar people around her one by one, her heart was full of panic...... Grandpa died...... Father's poison has still not been completely removed, and most of the familiar guards in Rongwang's Mansion are gone...... Two of the four Heavenly Kings have already suffered internal injuries and may die at any time......

She was very scared, and suddenly one day, all these familiar people around her disappeared...... She really misses him...... He is really needed...... Only when she is with him is her heart steady. Don't worry about anything, because he can always think of a solution......

"County lord, if you make a mistake, you have to bear the pain caused by the mistake, just like an ordinary person who kills someone, he has to use his life to make compensation......"

Jin Chengwu raised his head and looked at Zhao Wanqi and said quietly. Zhao Wanqi has always been like a child, pampered and domineering...... It's time for her to learn to grow up......

"No...... I'm still going back......"

Zhao Wanqi's eyes flashed with determination.

"County Lord, why are you still so ignorant!"

Jin Chengwu was a little helpless.

"You...... You don't understand...... If the little girl next to him was weird, I always felt like I had seen her somewhere. I'm sure she's no ordinary girl. I'm going to have to keep him on the lookout for her! ”

Zhao Wanqi thought for a moment and said.

"You mean...... Do you feel like you've seen her? ”

Kim Sung-woo had a stunned expression on his face. Since the county lord Zhao Wanqi was struck by lightning, her behavior has been different from ordinary people, and there are always some strange things in her mind...... Very little is specific to the person concerned.

But as long as a certain person is mentioned, that person must have some origin, or some kind of accident...... For example, Wang Ximeng, the author of the world-famous "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

Wang Ximeng entered the palace as a student in the palace when he was more than ten years old, and he was a student of the Painting Academy when Emperor Huizong Zhao You, and later called into the forbidden Chinese library, and served Emperor Huizong. Song Huizong has a unique vision: "his surname can be taught", so he personally taught his method. After Zhao Ji personally taught him the technique of pen and ink, he advanced his art and surpassed the moment. Gong Shanshui, the work is rare. In April of the third year of Zhenghe, Wang Ximeng spent half a year finally painting the famous masterpiece "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which shocked the world.

But after Zhao Wanqi looked at the painting by chance, she shook her head and said that this Wang Ximeng has few days to live...... Everyone laughed at it, but it didn't take long for that Wang Ximeng to really get seriously ill and die without healing......

This is just one example, and there are many more. As for the people who make her feel familiar, there are only two mentioned before, one is the red lady and the other is the old man of Tianji......

How many rivers and lakes have been set off by a red lady, and the old man of Tianji is a legend. Of course, she also mentioned She Yi, and there is no doubt that She Yi has begun to play a huge role......

And now when it comes to the little girl next to him, if Ruoruo, could it be that the little girl is also an extraordinary person?

Zhao Jing, who was standing by the lake not far away, also vaguely heard the conversation between Zhao Wanqi and Jin Chengwu, and turned to look at her daughter Zhao Wanqi.

As Zhao Wanqi's father, what is his daughter's surname, what is her real ability, and how many catties and taels she has, he still understands it very thoroughly.

In fact, he also felt that the little girl next to She Yi was a little weird, her martial arts were extremely high, and she would also be the legendary Red Lady's exclusive acupoint kung fu sunflower acupuncture hand.

Before coming to Luoyang, he had investigated the identity of the girl...... is the daughter of the woman next to She Yi, ordinary, Xia Bing almost lost her surname when she besieged the city.

Also, I heard that before last year, she lived in the same room with She Yi.

And when She Yi went out, the little girl followed her, just like She Yi's personal guard. Zhao Jing's brows furrowed, and he inexplicably remembered a legend......

Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a scholar who traveled from a foreign country to Luoyang City to take the exam, because it was raining on the road, and when he arrived in Luoyang, it happened to be night, the city gate was closed, and he could not enter the city. Squatted down under a city wall and spread an umbrella to shelter from the rain...... It happened that a white fox suffered a curse, and the scholar accidentally rescued the white fox......

The white fox escaped the catastrophe, turned into a beautiful woman, and lived in the woods with a scholar.

The scholar was studying while cultivating his body. Approaching the imperial examination, saying goodbye to this woman, the scholar promised the woman that when he was named on the gold list, he would marry her......

The scholar left here and entered the city, and after the imperial examination, he was really titled on the gold list, and when he rushed here in high spirits, it was a barren place, and there was no courtyard......

Later, the scholar became a big official, so he renamed the forest outside Luoyang City and called it the White Fox Forest, also known as the Fox Forest. After the death of the book, the ashes were scattered in the forest.

Although it is just a legendary story, it is someone who encountered a strange thing in the fox forest...... He had also heard that the white fox liked to possess little girls......

And last time, the Xuankong of the White Horse Temple personally caused the catastrophe, but he still couldn't help She Yi...... In the end, Xuankong was killed by a mysterious man...... Death with a sword...... What did the red lady do? Still is......

Xuankong was originally a warrior monk of Shaolin Temple, so it goes without saying that he has the ability.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

Zhao Wanqi saw her father King Rong looking at her, and asked suspiciously.

"Hmm...... Wanqi, if you feel right, you shouldn't go back. ”

Zhao Jing said slowly.

……

One night three days later, at the gate of Jiafu, a dark shadow entered Jiafu by twilight, and after a while, the lights in the greenhouse in the backyard of Jiafu turned on.

In the greenhouse, the thin monkey put a black wooden box held by brocade into She Yi's hand, She Yi opened the box and looked at it, then closed the box, nodded, and put it on the table next to him.

The thin monkey then handed a letter to She Yi's hand, She Yi opened the letter, read it calmly, and then lit the letter with a candle, the flame jumped, and the letter paper turned into ashes in an instant......

Then, She Yi and the thin monkey walked out of the greenhouse, and the thin monkey turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night.

She Yi turned around and entered the main hall, and then on the window of the inner room, the shadows of the two people swayed, and then the lights in the room went out, obviously She Yi and Ruoruo were resting.

……

Zhenghe six years. On the second day of the fourth month of summer, Huizong met with Taoist priests in Shangqing Treasure Palace. On the eighth day of the first month, He Zhizhong was ordered to retire with the title of Taifu, and to meet the emperor every 1st and 15th. On the 14th, an edict was issued: "Tianning Festival and other festivals and Renxu said, and the sins below the rod punishment are allowed to be atoned for." On the 23rd, he refused to accept the items offered by the superintendent and the ministers. On the 27th, he issued an edict to Cai Jing to meet the emperor once, correct his title of duke, and govern the affairs of the three provinces.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, tin money was abolished. On the first day of the ninth month, go to Yuqing Heyang Palace, and present the treasure book of the Emperor of the Jade Emperor God of the Heavenly Emperor of the Imperial Calendar.

On the eighth day of the first month of the spring of the seventh year of Zhenghe, Khotan came to pay tribute. On the eleventh, Gao Yu, the commander of the palace in front of the palace, was appointed as the captain. On the fifth day of the first month of February, Duan He, the head of Dali, was appointed as the envoy of Yunnan Jiedu and the king of Dali. On the sixth day of the first month, he met with more than 2,000 Taoist priests in the Shangqing Treasure Palace, and issued an edict to Mr. Lin Lingsu to announce the emperor's arrival. On the ninth day of the first month, he went to Jiying Hall to test the Goryeo Jinshi.

……

Time is like an arrow, and the moon is like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, time flies away like a galloping horse......

Inadvertently, a year has passed, and now it is the spring of the seventh year of Zhenghe......

This year's spring has already come, but people don't notice it. This is like the first love of a teenager, when it is vaguely hazy and a little indescribable, when you are looking for love in a daze, you just don't know that love is already around, and this love is the most real and precious love.

This year's spring was no different...... Maybe it's because of last year's leap month...... Spring comes early...... It does not germinate at the moment when the flowers and plants germinate, nor does it sprout in the hazy smoke and rain, it does not breed like that, it does not slow down like that, it drags on like that, but it condenses in the cold and falls, and blooms in the recovery of all things. Therefore, spring is not only the singing of birds and flowers, not only the sunshine, but also awakening, growth, change, and changing all the past.

Luoyang City, spring is proud, flowers are blooming, and now is the season when peony flowers are in full bloom. In the whole Luoyang City, you can see the blooming peony flowers everywhere, making the whole Luoyang City seem to be in a sea of flowers.

Overlooking Luoyang City, looking from afar, there is a large "mansion" by Xintan Lake, which is the first comprehensive leisure restaurant in Luoyang City with the integration of food and entertainment - Hongchen Inn, which She Yi has made every effort to build.

Now in Luoyang City, as long as you ask, where is the best food in Luoyang City, nine out of ten people will tell you that it is in the Hongchen Inn.

If you ask, where is the best place to live in Luoyang City, at least nine and a half out of ten people will tell you that it is at the Red Dust Inn.

If you ask, where is the most popular, the best service, the most lively, and the highest grade in Luoyang City, ten people will tell you...... It's at the Red Dust Inn.

Today's Hongchen Inn is the city symbol of Luoyang City, representing the face of the entire Luoyang City.

In addition to the diners in Luoyang City, many of the diners in the Red Dust Inn are diners who come from all over the world.

The three most famous series of dishes of Hongchen Inn are a potato series of dishes, a mushroom series of dishes, and a cumin barbecue of a late-night snack series...... These three special dishes are the only one in the entire Luoyang City, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, and they are sold exclusively.

Today, March 15th, in Luoyang City, Hongchen Inn, in the hall on the first floor of No. 1 Restaurant, several men in exotic costumes ate the sour and hot potato shreds on the dinner table with a smile while drinking.

Opposite this exotic man is a table of diners from Dali, Yunnan Province, and a table of diners from Goryeo.

The appearance of the guests at these tables, although exotic clothes, but the clothes they wear are brocade silk, which is definitely not something that ordinary civilians can wear, nor can ordinary merchants wear, of course, even if ordinary merchants can wear it, they can't dress like this (in the Northern Song Dynasty, merchants had a low status and could not wear Yu Fugui's clothes in public, if they were seen by the mouthy government...... It's to be caught).

In fact, these people were all scholars sent by Persia and Goryeo, and most of them were the sons of high-ranking officials in their own country, and they were given status by Huizong a while ago......

These teenagers are well-known in their country. In a word, there is no shortage of money...... You can spend as much as you want.

They were supposed to stay in Luoyang City, but after hearing about the reputation of the Red Dust Inn, they rushed to Luoyang City from Bianjing.

Inside the hall, in addition to these exotic diners, there are also some individual customers. These individual visitors are basically some businessmen or petty officials in Luoyang City, and a few can't see what's going on.

Inside the hall, those exotic men talked and laughed, spoke loudly, and were a little unscrupulous. The other diners had some disgruntled faces, but didn't say anything.

Inside the hall, there is a small room, and the room is separated from the hall only by a pair of beaded curtains.

At this moment, in the small room, there was a sudden intermittent sound of gourd silk, this track was Ravel's "Peacock Dance of the Dead Princess".

All the diners were stunned for a moment.

This melodious tune, like a clumsy cocoon, sheds its ugly shell and turns into a beautiful butterfly dancing on the stage...... To be precise, it should be a noble peacock, spreading its colorful wings, counting its pride and loneliness in the endless lonely darkness......

The song has ups and downs...... (To be continued.) )
