"It should be the Heavenly Venerable Sect's countermeasure, right?" Yiran replied with a smile at Yi Yiyi, revealing a little clever and naughty.

Of course, the matters discussed in the Youyan Palace's Mansion are extremely confidential, and it is not easy for anyone who is not attending the meeting to know the details of the discussion, but it is not too difficult for the people in the palace to inquire about the topics discussed. Yi Zhijian already knew the general situation, so he said: "My father-in-law has sent me south to suppress the rebellion of the Tianzun Sect, saying that the imperial court will issue an order to set off in the next two months. Don't tell anyone! ”

Yiran rolled his eyes, and said like an elder: "When the prince speaks, he always responds to his words, and when the time comes, he may send you to serve in the army, so you have to prepare early!" Then he changed his sly eyes, looked at Yizhi and asked, "Do you know the details of this Tianzun Sect?" ”

For the Tianzun Sect, in addition to the introduction of Mr. Zhongli, Qiu Yizhi only had vague memories of his childhood, but since he asked Yiran, he didn't want to show weakness, so he reorganized what Zhong Li Kuang said, and added his own opinions, and said it Lang Lang, as if he had known it for a long time.

When Yi Ran heard this, he also admired his insight a little, but he pretended not to think so, and said: "You are right, but unfortunately you only see it from books, or you heard it from Master Zhongli, and I haven't seen the deeds of the Tianzun Sect with my own eyes, so I don't know their details." ”

What Yizhi said was broken by the memory, and seeing her smug look on her face, she was very puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Have you just seen it?" ”

Listening to Qiu Yizhi's tone, the pride on the face of the county lord of Fanbang increased a little, and said, "That's because I'm not interested, but since you want to go and see it...... It's not that hard for me to arrange it a little bit. ”

Although Yiran is a Fanbang woman, she is bold and righteous, and she has great connections in Guangyang City, and the people of Bohai who come to the north to do business are all subject to the control of the county lord, and within a few years, they have inadvertently woven a not narrow network of relationships. Even the King of Youyan had heard of this, so much so that Zhong Li Kuang sent someone to investigate it secretly, lest there was any plan for Yiran or the loyal king Dali behind Yiran. It's just that if Zhongli Kuang is shrewd, he hasn't found anything abnormal, and Yiran has never had any scheming, and it is inconvenient to strictly prohibit it, so King Youyan will let her go.

Yizhi has been easy to get close to Yiran since he was a child, of course he knows these things, and he also believes that Yiran may really have any way to explore the truth of the Tianzun Sect, so he simply provoked her and said: "The Tianzun Sect has always been secretive, where can you be approached by a little girl?" You guess you're fooling me, right? ”

Yiran's innocence by nature, and sure enough, he fell into Yizhi's agitation method, and said angrily: "I'm just fooling you, don't you want to follow!" With that, he walked away angrily, unable to take two steps, but stopped again, and turned his head to look back at Yizhi with a smile.

Qiu Yizhi has been with Yiran for a long time, of course she knows this little bit of caution, and after unhurriedly giving up with a few sisters-in-law, she will leave the pavilion and go with Yiran. But Qin, the wife of the third prince Zheng Miao, asked in a low voice, "Where is my uncle?" If the husband asks, let the concubine have a response. ”

Zheng Miao's wife, Qin, and the wife of Zheng Xin, the eldest son of King Youyan, are a pair of sisters. The Qin sisters' father, Qin Guangyuan, was a famous Confucian hermit in Shilin, and his literary knowledge was very famous in the Great Han Shilin, and he was quite dominant in the literary world. It's a pity that his career is bleak, and he has fallen to Sun Shan several times when he went to Beijing to take the exam, and even Yang Yuanzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty, once sighed: "Guangyuan is not a minister, although it is bad luck, but we and other ministers also have their responsibilities." In this way, this Qin Guangyuan's fame became even louder, and he simply broke off his heart of fame and fortune, and returned to his hometown to teach and learn, but he was also free.

Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, heard of Qin Guangyuan's name for a long time, and knew that he had raised two well-informed daughters, and they were about the same age as his eldest son and third son, and considering that Qin Guangyuan was a recluse, so he had nothing to do with the imperial court, and he would not be hired by the media, so he was hired several times to marry. Youyan King Zheng Rong's deeds and virtues are famous all over the world, and Qin Guangyuan is also very impressed, so he agreed to these two marriages.

This Mrs. Daqin has been studying with her father since she was a child, she is gentle and dignified, and after marrying Zheng Xin, she is respectful and respectful. And although this little Mrs. Qin is also knowledgeable, she is Qin Guangyuan's elderly daughter, who is extremely pampered, and is a little more lively than her sister. After Mrs. Xiao Qin married a wife, she was very affectionate with Zheng Miao, especially her husband Zheng Miao and Yizhi were extremely friendly, so Tongyi and Yiran were also very close, so they could ask Qiu Yizhi's whereabouts.

Yizhi was both close and respectful to this sister-in-law, and when she asked, she secretly thought that if she truthfully stated the matter of visiting the Tianzun Sect, it would make her worried, so she thought about it for a while and said: "I remember that there is something illegal in Guangyang City, and I will go and visit." ”

Mrs. Xiao Qin nodded, and said softly and slowly: "That is the case, I hope that Uncle will be careful." ”

Qiu Yizhi bowed his head vigorously and respectfully withdrew from the pavilion.

Although Yiran's mouth was tough, he patiently waited for Yizhi to finish saluting with the female dependents, and when he saw him hurrying two steps to catch up, he asked angrily: "Don't you believe me?" Why did you follow again? ”

Yi Zhi smiled and said: "If I don't come, you will still visit, how can I rest assured?" ”

These words have some flattering meaning, but they are very useful when they hear it, and they immediately turn their anger into joy, and say: "Since you are going to make an unannounced visit, you should also change into ordinary clothes, this prince dress, is it to take people or to scare people?" ”

Seeing that she had changed her attitude, Yizhi also joked: "The county lord taught a lesson." ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't go home and found a set of clothes in the palace, and as soon as she wore them, she went to Yiran's house to find her. Who knew that the maid who served her said that the county lord had changed his clothes and left the palace. Yizhi was afraid that she would run away, so he hurriedly chased after her, but saw that Yiran was already talking to a Bohai person at the gate of the palace.

That Hu has a strong physique, but his posture is long and short, and at a glance he knows that he is a good horse archer on the grassland, and Yizhi has seen him a few times before, but he doesn't know his name. Yiran talked to the Hu man for a few words, and when he saw that Yizhi had arrived, he said to him: "I have all arranged, you can pretend to be my close attendant and follow me." ”

Although Yiran took off the clothes of the prince and county lord, and dressed very much like the young lady of a large family, the micro-clothes on Yizhi's body were very simple, saying that the relationship between the young lady and the subordinate was just right, so he agreed. The two of them left the Youyan Mansion from the side door that supplied daily firewood and rice.

Yi Ran didn't know where the Tianzun Sect was, and it was all up to the burly Hu man to lead the way. The Bohai people walked smoothly and vigorously, breathed calmly and evenly, and although their attitude was humble, there was a faint sense of heroism in their bodies.

Yi Zhi couldn't help but admire a little when he saw it, so he took two quick steps and asked, "May I ask the name of this strong man?" ”

This Hu man actually spoke a good Chinese, and said slightly: "How can the fourth prince Chrysostom ask?" In the lower name is also Lu. ”

Although Ye Lu deliberately lowered his voice, he still spoke in two sentences. Let Yizhi hear it clearly, as if the words were poured into his ears, and he had a good impression of him, so he said: "The hero is too humble." Dare to ask the hero, in this hall of Guangyang City, is there also the Tianzun Sect active? ”

Yelu didn't know how to answer, Yizhi was about to ask, but Yiran shouted: "You went to see it, don't you know?" ”

Since the Battle of Mantou Mountain, Dali was named the King of Zhongshun, and the Bohai Sea was restored and the market has been exchanged for a long time, Guangyang City has become more and more lively year by year in the past five or six years, and the population has also increased day by day. Yizhi, Yiran and Yelu went out of the inner city, and it was a large area of dense dwellings.

Zhong Likuang deserved to be a master of government affairs, and in view of the continuous migration of Han people, Hu people, and even people from the Western Regions living in Guangyang, he replanned and built the outer city of Guangyang, and used criss-crossing roads to divide the Han people's residences and Hu people's residences like a chessboard. This not only eliminates the friction that may be caused by the Hu and Han mixed settlements, but also prevents the Hu people from being difficult to control, and the roads extending in all directions also provide convenience for the rapid mobilization of people to deal with emergencies. The scheming Zhong Likuang even planted two kinds of trees, black locust and poplar, in front of the houses of the Han and Hu people, so that people could know at a glance the identity of the owner of the residence.

Yelu led the two nobles around into a secluded alley. Although Guangyang is prosperous, there are still a few deserted streets and alleys, and Qiu Yizhi has been here before, but such a monotonous and straight alley really can't make him associate with the Tianzun Sect.

The three of them turned another corner and finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard. The gate of this courtyard is not spacious, but it is enough for three or two people to enter and exit side by side, and the courtyard is surrounded by a two-person high courtyard wall, and a huge black locust grows in the courtyard, and the scattered branches and leaves filter the sunlight into mottled eyes, showing an eerie atmosphere. Qiu Yi looked up and down, although this courtyard was a little strange, but it was by no means eye-catching.

While thinking about it, Ye Lu knocked on the wooden door a few times rhythmically, which was obviously some kind of code. As soon as the knocking stopped, the wooden door was slightly pushed open a thin slit, and a pair of eyes poked out of the crack in the door and glanced at Yelu, seeing that it was an acquaintance, he pushed the wooden door open slightly, only enough for Yelu to enter and exit alone. Yelu squeezed into the courtyard, and Yiran and Yizhi followed closely behind him into the door. The man who opened the door just now saw the three of them coming in, and immediately reprimanded: "You ignorant thing, why did you bring someone in without permission, don't you want to die?" ”

Yelu, who was full of arrogance along the way, was like a prisoner waiting for trial at this time, and said with a sincere smile: "This young lady is my master, and she has long admired the Holy Sect and wants to come to worship, I have already told the altar master about this." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, secretly stuffed it in Menzi's hand, and said, "I'm sorry for this senior brother to go and report to the altar master." ”

Yi Zhi peeked at the ingot, the more there were about ten taels of silver—the price of yang rice was a little expensive, and all kinds of clothing and utensils were extremely cheap—enough for a medium-sized family to spend for a year. The man took the money, although he didn't immediately smile, his attitude suddenly changed greatly, and after looking at Yiran and Yizhi, he said, "Okay, let me report to the altar master." ”

Yizhi felt very strange, but he didn't dare to speak, and his eyes kept scanning the courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was facing a rather large house, the floor was paved with blue bricks, and in the middle was the towering tree. The ground and walls are extremely clean, not to mention the sweet potatoes, peppers, and bacon dried in ordinary people's homes, even if there is not a single fallen leaf, there is no trace of someone living here.

The three of them waited silently for a moment, but they heard a "squeak", the door of the house in the courtyard opened, and the door that had just entered walked out, and then flashed out of one person, which was the "altar master" that Fang just said. That day, the altar master of the Venerable Sect was of medium stature, with a big belly, and walked forward with square steps.

When Ye Lu saw the man approaching, he bowed his head and bowed, his body shrunk into a ball on the ground, and he muttered in his mouth: "Disciple see Lord Wang!" Seeing this situation, if he hadn't known Yelu's identity earlier, Qiu Yizhi would have thought that he was really a devout Tianzun disciple, and he really admired his acting skills in his heart.

The lord of the Wang altar was so big that he didn't look at Yelu who was prostrate on the ground, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he arrogantly lectured: "Yelu, you are also an old brother in the sect, why don't you understand the rules at all?" Dare to bring people here, do you have two hearts for Tianzun? ”
