Fu Yingran looked back at the hazy palace on the Finger Dome Mountain, which seemed to be shrouded in fairy mist, where was the temple, also known as the Autumn Mountain of Autumn Leaves.

Song Nian's father is the mountain lord of the Red Leaves Autumn Mountain, and the entire temple is above 10,000 people under one person except for the hall master.

Thinking that he and the mountain lord were serious relatives, I was a little excited and wanted to meet this uncle.

The hem of her clothes was suddenly torn by someone, and when she turned around, she saw that the big tiger was biting the hem of her clothes and calling her, and barked twice at the house.

Fu Yiran pushed the door in, and saw that there were only a few ordinary furniture in the simple house, which looked a little old, but they were all very clean, as if they were often cleaned, and there were a few meals on the dining table, although there was no heat, but they were all fresh, and they were placed here yesterday at the latest.

Fu Yingran sat down on the side of the dining table in amazement, "These meals ...... Who lives here? ”

The big tiger lay comfortably beside her, and seemed very familiar with this way of getting along, and his tail flicked and slapped the ground, looking leisurely.

Fu Yingran was indeed a little hungry at this time, and she was full of interest in this hut, and she felt very kind, so she had no scruples and ate it unceremoniously.

It tastes good, it's a pity it's cold, but it's still enough to fill your stomach.

After eating and drinking, Fu Yingran patted her stomach with satisfaction, got up and walked out of the house, ready to walk around.

—————

There is such a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers and tigers as companions, so she is happy to live in seclusion here, and she should not be too carefree on this day.

Why did the Holy Lord come out of the mountain?

Enough of the deserted days and want to go to the crowd?

According to Ah Wei's words, the Holy Lord should have left here and entered the court directly to become a national teacher, very hurried, with no transition in between, just like ...... Forced accession to the WTO.

While thinking about the situation of the Holy Lord living here, she indulged in the mountains and rivers, and when she walked to a bamboo forest, she suddenly saw another house, but it was more dignified and elegant than the small courtyard where the Holy Lord lived.

"Who lives there?"

Fu Yingran was curious to find out, but the tiger that followed her suddenly bared its teeth and roared, and made an angry and fierce posture at the house.

After a while, what is the relationship between this and the Holy Lord?

Looking at this house, it is definitely not built by wandering people or poor people, the materials are exquisite, the layout is comfortable, and it is obvious that some thought has been spent.

The more the tiger reacted violently to this place, the more curious Fu Ying became, touched its head soothingly, and pushed the door open.

The dust choked on his face and coughed, and the place seemed to have not been cleaned for more than ten years, with dust everywhere and furniture lying in a mess, either missing arms or legs.

Someone must have smashed it here.

Passing through the main house is the study, there are still a few scratched calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. have been swept to the ground, and there are many books, all over the ground.

Bypassing the scattered books, he walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the scattered scrolls on it, but his eyes were suddenly fixed.

This is the ......

Lu Qi?

Fu Yingran took a closer look, and the seal on the inscription on the scroll was indeed Lu Qi.

She went to look through the other scrolls, there were more scrolls in the study than books, most of them were landscapes, free and pleasant, and the final seal of all the scrolls was Lu Qi.

Turning the scattered scrolls back to their original state, Fu Yingran looked back at the big tiger who had always had a bad expression, and fell into his own contemplation.

It seems that the owner of this house should be Lu Qi, what happened between him and the Holy Lord?

"E...... Dye. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, Fu Yingran was startled, subconsciously retreated and turned around, and saw a woman with a gorgeous face standing by the Bisha cupboard, looking at her with tears in her eyes, with an excited expression that she tried to suppress.

Fu Yingran's hind legs hit the desk a little painfully, bent his knees and rubbed them, and asked, "Are you?" ”

The big tiger stood lazily to the side without moving, apparently an acquaintance.

The woman hesitated and tentatively took two steps forward, then quickened into the ram, stopping at a relatively intimate distance.

Fu Yiran looked at this teary-eyed woman up close, with shallow fine lines at the end of her eyes, her skin was also a little loose, and she was wearing fine makeup, but she still couldn't hide her age when she was no longer young.

The woman moved her lips, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to find her voice, "I'm Chunniang." ”

Fu Yingran's eyes lit up, and she smiled instantly, "I finally saw you, I came to you on purpose, how do you know I'm here?" ”

As he spoke, he chuckled and asked himself, "You must be very familiar with this tiger, and you know that it will bring me here." ”

Chun Niang was still staring intently at Fu Yingran's face, the kind of look looking for memories Fu Yingran was all too familiar, she knew that they were looking at another person through her.

Fu Yingran felt a little subtle, looking for the shadow of the Holy Lord in her, which made her uncomfortable and awkward, and at the same time a little proud.

Her mother is an amazing person, and it is her blessing that she can inherit her mother's appearance.

Fu Yingran was a little uncomfortable when Chun Niang looked at her, coughed lightly, and called her, "Chun Niang, Chun Niang......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm ...... There was a bit of a gaffe. ”

Chunniang came back to her senses, blinked the mist in her eyes, held Fu Yingran's hand, and said happily, "I've kept you waiting." ”

"No, I'm just afraid that the news will be delayed, so I want to tell you soon. On the day of the banquet in Lufu, I met a woman on the street, she was killed by two men, and before she died, I asked me to follow Miss Jingshui to collect Fangwan and tell you a name...... Xiao Dai. She also gave me her armband. ”

She had been wearing the woman's armband on her arm these days, waiting to hand it over to Chunniang herself, and she wasn't sure what to say to anyone.

Chunniang took the armband with a heavy face, held it in her hand and rubbed it for a long time, and then carefully put it into her arms.

"We have buried her body, but there is no news of her sudden death, thank you for bringing me the news."

Fu Yingran smiled, "I've been missing for a long time, and you've bothered to look for me, so I should say thank you." ”

Chunniang was a little surprised, "How do you know we're looking for you?" ”

"The woman recognized me at a glance and said you guys were crazy looking for me."

Chunniang looked at her with concern, and her eyebrows condensed with undissolved worry.

"Where have you been for the past three months? We can't find you. ”

Fu Yiran was silent for a moment, did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "Where is Fu Yan, I want to see him first, he must be in a hurry." ”

"Furrow...... I couldn't see him for a while, so he went back. ”

"Go back? What do you mean...... Dazai? ”

After getting along for a long time, she regarded Fu Yu as a friend and lover, and forgot that Fu Yu was Dazai's escort arranged by her side, and she was Dazai's person.

She's missing, and he's bound to be punished by Dazai as a guard, and I don't know what happened to him now?

Fu Yiran's heart flew away completely at this time, and she wanted to go to Dazai quickly, but Chun Niang seemed to guess her thoughts, and said with relief, "Don't worry, Fu Yu is fine, but I can't come to see you for the time being, and I will pass the news of your safe return to him." ”

"Does Dazai know that I'm doing my best?"

Fu Yingran asked a little nervously, she had always been curious and looking forward to the father who didn't know what he looked like, but she didn't know whether to see her, or maybe he wanted to see herself?

"Dazai already knows. The temple is the Lord's home and yours, and we will protect you in the future. ”

Fu Yingran grasped the hidden meaning in her words, "So, he ...... Don't want to see me? ”

Junniang held her shoulder distressedly, "Dazai is a good father, everything he does is for you." ”

"But he's already Dazai, and he's in a high position."

Chun Niang sighed meaningfully, "There is no one in the world who can really do what he wants, there are always people who stand taller than themselves, even Dazai." ”

Fu Ran's heart sank little by little, as if he was overwhelmed by the waves, and it seemed that some things that were blocked and incomprehensible were suddenly clicked through.

Dazai is the well-deserved head of the hundred officials of the Tianyang Kingdom, the real one person below ten thousand people, above him...... Only the emperor of Tianyang Kingdom.

Dazai hid her from letting people know about her existence, it was because of the emperor of Tianyang Kingdom, and the only person she really wanted to hide from was the emperor of Tianyang Kingdom.

Why, why, what is so special about her existence that she has to hide from the emperor of Tianyang Kingdom?

Purple hair? Body odor?

These come from the Holy Lord.

Yes, she is the daughter of the Holy Lord, and this is the most special thing in the world.

Fu Yingran was now unable to extricate herself from her own contemplation, and Chunniang was inexplicably a little flustered, and shouted for a long time to wake her up.

"Are you okay, why do you want to be so engrossed?"

It was as if she had just been fished out of the sea, her breathing was short, and her forehead was drenched with sweat.

She wiped her sweat and shook her head, "I remember one thing, one of the people who killed that woman was Lu Qi. ”

Chun Niang was suddenly startled, "Are you sure?" ”

Fu Yingran's face was determined, "One of the murderers was wearing a sapphire ring on his hand, and I also saw it on Lu Qi's hand at the banquet afterwards. There was something special about the ring, and it wasn't very common. ”

Chun Niang pondered for a moment, looked around the dusty study, and snorted coldly, "If you really see the sapphire ring, it must be him." He loved the ring like a treasure and would never take it off. ”

Fu Yingran followed Chunniang's gaze and also scanned the study, and finally his eyes fell on the scrolls.

"Chun Niang, my mother and Lu Qi...... What is the relationship? ”

Chun Niang looked at her in surprise, obviously not expecting that she would actually guess that this was Lu Qi's house.

Fu Yingran angrily shook his head at those scrolls, "Each scroll has Lu Qi's seal, and there are two hermit families living not far apart in this deep mountain, if you want to say that they don't know each other, I'm afraid no one will believe it." I don't know what my mother's personality is, but she has a distinctive purple hair since she was born, but she has never been noticeable, she has lived in this deep mountain for decades, and it is known to the world until she entered the palace to become a national teacher. Why did she suddenly enter the palace and change her low-key style? Does it have anything to do with Lu Qi? ”

Chun Niang had to admire Fu Yingran's acumen and the accuracy of her inference.

It can be said that the life of the Holy Lord took a huge turn because of Lu Qi, and since then he has embarked on a completely different path.

But......

"It's ......"

As soon as Fu Yingran saw Chunniang's expression, she knew that she was going to refuse, so she preemptively said, "I really want to know about my mother, I know too little about her, and I don't even know how she died." ”

Chun Niang's face was embarrassed, "I don't know much about the Holy Lord and Lu Qi, I'm afraid that only Grandpa and the Mountain Lord know about it." ”

"Then say you know."

The tiger seemed to feel the urgency of Fu Yiran, and shouted at Chunniang, who gritted her teeth for a long time before opening her mouth.

"Lu Qi is the teacher of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord is literate and reading, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even etiquette and upbringing are all taught by Lu Qi. Lu Qi is from the side branch of the Lu family in Kyoto, although it is not the top of the noble, but it is also wealthy. He loves to paint, often travels in the mountains and rivers, lives in seclusion in the landscape, and is a genius painter on the same level as Yan Bo, free and uninhibited. But later, his father was convicted, and the entire branch was thrown into prison, and in order to save his family, the Holy Lord was ...... Dedicated to the emperor. ”

"What does it mean to dedicate to the emperor?"

Fu Yingran's lips trembled a little, and the hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched.

Chunniang looked at her distressedly, but she still had to continue, "The Holy Lord has an excellent appearance, and that purple hair is even more amazing, and the emperor is obsessed with it at a glance." But the Holy Lord was unwilling to submit to the emperor, and he couldn't get out, so he could only take a step back and promise to help him sit on the throne, and then the Holy Lord was named the national teacher to assist the emperor. ”

I see.

Lu Qi betrayed his students as a teacher, and the Holy Lord should have been so angry and unwilling when he was presented to the emperor.

"Then how did my mother die?"

Chun Niang said sincerely, "I really don't know this, I'm afraid that people who know all over the world can count it on one hand." ”

"The mountain lord should know."

"That's nature, he's the righteous brother of the Holy Lord."

Fu Yiran immediately laughed, "I want to see the mountain master." ”

……

In addition to being leaned on the Dome Mountain, Zeping Village is also surrounded by a cornucopia in the east, and several hillsides surround a spacious open space, the terrain is flat, and it is a good place for villagers to gather and hold sacrifices.

Because of the development of Zeping Village, more and more people from other villages come here to settle down and play, and there are many small vendors doing business in the cornucopia, and gradually form a market, which is very lively.

Today's cornucopia is even more crowded, with crowds of people gathering on the slopes in all directions, and a unique investment promotion is being carried out on the most central flat ground.

Every three years, the temple holds a grand investment fair, and this year it was held in a cornucopia next to the temple, and the rules were different from the previous ones, attracting a large number of merchants from all over the world and from all walks of life.

Fu Yingran found a position where he could see the whole audience and have the best vision, sat down directly on the grass, lifted the power lily a little, and searched the venue for a long time before finding the figure of Chun Niang.

Chun Niang sat in the master's seat with a group of women covering their heads and faces, surrounded by screens to cut off the view, but still let many people see her identity.

She openly sat in the master's seat of the Merchants Association, and she was no longer prepared to hide the fact that she was affiliated with the Temple.
