Zhu Hongyu used to think that money could solve all problems, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Jin Yuanjing's settlement is a problem, if he is allowed to work in his own home, it will definitely make Jin Yuanjing fall into endless inferiority.

The winter solstice of the Wuxu year made Zhu Hongyu inevitably worry about the future of herself and Jin Yuanjing, which also made the extremely important winter solstice day a boring festival.

When it was time for dinner, it was dark early, and the winter solstice was the earliest day of the year, so you should go home early on this day.

Zhu Hongyu cooked the dumplings, and Zhou Jun and Ya'er helped on the side.

After eating at noon, Jin Yuanjing went out, Zhu Hongyu thought that Jin Yuanjing had something to do, so she didn't care about him, but when it came to dinner, she still couldn't see Jin Yuanjing, and she was inevitably a little panicked.

Zhou Jun and Ya'er brought the dumplings to the table and asked Zhu Hongyu to come over to eat, but Zhu Hongyu was worried because Jin Yuanjing did not come back.

After waiting for a while, the dumplings were almost cold, so Zhu Hongyu asked Zhou Jun and Ya'er to eat quickly, and then went out to find someone in their clothes.

Because of the fast dark of the winter solstice, Zhu Hongyu was afraid of changes in Baoji City, so she had to go to the city gate to find the boss.

Seeing Zhu Hongyu coming to look for someone in a panic, he quickly notified all the officers and soldiers on duty, leaving only one to guard the city gate, and the rest of the people went to find Jin Yuanjing's whereabouts......

It was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful night, but suddenly because of Jin Yuanjing's disappearance, the atmosphere became heavy.

Two miles outside Baoji City, a team of chariots and horses stopped outside a deserted temple.

I don't know when this deserted temple was abandoned, but I can vaguely see the plaque hanging on this deserted temple with the words "Sanqingguan" written on it.

If this deserted temple had a soul, it is estimated that it would not have imagined in the long years of desolation that there would still be people coming to worship on a day like today.

Runye took a broom and sprinkled it inside Sanqingguan, and a group of people waited outside a little impatiently.

After all, he did not announce his identity, and his current identity is just a little-known "Doctor Ji".

After sprinkling and sweeping, Runye took out three sticks of incense from his bag, lit them and inserted them into the freshly polished incense burner, and a puff of green smoke rushed into the sky from the incense burner.

Runye retreated, kowtowed to the Sanqing Patriarch in front of him, and then took a few steps back, as if what he had to do was done.

Zhu Amber stepped forward towards Runye and saluted Runye very respectfully.

It may be that Runye is not in a hurry or slow to sprinkle and sweep Sanqingguan's calm and unhurried appearance, which makes Zhu Amber feel very respectful, and her etiquette today is also extraordinarily thoughtful.

"Chief Rundao, according to the news from Jinyiwei a few days ago, my sister is in this city, we just need to ask the county governor or the general manager here, and we can find her."

Runye lowered his head and raised his hand. Use your thumb to pinch the palm print on your hand.

After counting for a long time, the tightly frowning brow was finally soothed, and it was obvious that he had figured out a lot of things.

"Although we were a little delayed along the way, we finally hurried and didn't delay. Then return the same way, just enough to be able to go to Bianjing in Layue. ”

Hearing Runye's calculation, Zhu Amber on the side was also relieved, she couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago, and said sadly: "It's too this road, there is a brother who feels that he is infected with smallpox, and he directly rode his horse towards the cliff. Fortunately, there are no problems with the rest of the people. ”

Runye looked up at the three majestic statues in front of him, revealing a bitter smile.

"Yes, it's no problem to go back, in fact, I don't care about this issue now, I'm worried about your sister."

As soon as Runye's words came out, Zhu Amber was dumbfounded.

"Hmm...... I'll admit that smallpox is terrible, and most of them are healthy, at least now, because we don't have contact with people and you teach us how to maintain our health. I don't know what Baoji City has become today, I hope, I hope my sister can escape. She's a very hard person. ”

Runye bowed his head slightly, then turned around and left the temple with Zhu Amber. The gloomy temple is really terrifying, and after just gaining some popularity, it left again, and the ancient temple returned to its former silence.

The carriage and horses were still heading towards the city of Baoji, and the distance of two miles was not far at all, and soon the carriage and horses came to the bottom of the city.

Odd......

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of Baoji City, they found an abnormality.

The gates of the city were wide open, and all the families in the city rejoiced, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter and laughter, and the lanterns hanging in front of the doors of each house were also bright, proving that there were people in the house.

On the entire street, there are few people at home.

Runye carefully sniffed the smell in the air, but it did waft the smell of undisposed corpses.

Wasn't the city affected by smallpox? Or is the city affected but few people get sick?

While he was hesitating in the night, a soldier walked up to the city gate, and all eyes were on him.

I saw this man rub his hands and prepare to close the door, and when he saw a group of people coming over and waving at them.

"Come in! It's closing! ”

Runye couldn't make up his mind, Xu Jingyi walked impatiently in front of Runye.

"Eh, I said that people let you in, why don't you enter the door! Do you want to stay outside tonight? ”

Saying that, Xu Jingyi ordered people to go forward, and when Xu Jingyi said this, Runye was in a very bad mood.

Zhu Amber hurriedly ran over and said, "Chief Rundao, Xu Ye has always had this temper!" Don't take it to heart. ”

Runye and Zhu Amber were left at the back of the line, Runye could only sigh and walk forward, Zhu Amber followed behind Runye and did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Runye finally stopped and smiled at Zhu Amber.

"You wouldn't have been able to read things like that before, but now you've learned it."

Zhu Amber admitted that after Runye was named a purple-robed Taoist priest, he didn't know much about this identity, and only felt that Runye was just recognized by the imperial court.

But after following Lu Mingci's side, she flipped through many official documents, many of which were still set up as secrets by the imperial court.

It turns out that the purple-robed Taoist priest symbolizes the qualification to become the abbot of Chaoyunguan, symbolizes that he can lead the world's Taoist affairs, and symbolizes that if he is recognized by the emperor, he can directly become a national teacher.

So Zhu Amber became more and more respectful to Runye.

The previous disrespect was because of ignorance, just as Xu Jingyi really regarded himself as a master when he was called "Xu Ye" now.

Runye was able to get this status at the age of twenty-four, and Zhu Amber was almost certain that after Runye arrived in Bianjing, he would soon become the abbot of Chaoyunguan, and even the national teacher.

"Don't make fun of me, Chief Rundao. I didn't know before, so I was a little ignorant, but now I understand a lot of truth...... Okay, let's go find my sister as soon as possible. ”

The two of them quickened their pace, and Runye walked towards the city noncommittally, and he felt as if there was a strange feeling all over his body.

Why does the people here, he feel that he already has the ability to resist diseases, as if he has become the object of key protection here.

Runye didn't know where this feeling came from, but he quickly swept the thought out of his head.

When the group entered the city, the first thing they did was to find an inn to live in.

A month of eating and sleeping in the open, coupled with the infestation of illness, made everyone tired.

Soon the group found a post station in Baoji City that was specially designed for people in the public gate, and a few soldiers took the carriage and horses into the carport in the backyard, and Xu Jingyi and Zhu Amber went to the front desk together to hand over the pipe guide.

The person in charge of check-in at the front desk is a master in his fifties who has just retired from the yamen, and he also paid a lot of money to get this idle errand.

He opened Xu Jingyi's official credentials, his eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and after the words "Jinyiwei" came into view, he knew what kind of specifications should be used to take care of it.

"A few adults, the guest rooms in the hall are tight now, and I'm afraid that the upper room can't be arranged so much, so you need to find two people to sleep in the middle room. The middle room is also very good, but it is a little smaller than the upper room. ”

Hearing the pavilion at the front desk say this, Xu Jingyi frowned.

"What, why are there so many of you Baoji people, we ran all the way, and none of the pavilions were inhabited!"

The master is a perceptive person, and quickly found the key to the upper room from the key, and then he set his eyes on Runye.

Only Runye didn't wear a flying fish suit, and apparently he was also the best bully among these people.

"Naturally, a few adults have upper rooms to live in, why don't I see this little brother living with me?"

Saying that, the pavilion pointed to Runye and said.

Zhu Amber was anxious all of a sudden, she was really afraid that she would get into trouble after the night, and the life of the front desk of this pavilion would not be guaranteed.

"Master Xu, I see that a few adults who have just arrived in this place have worked hard, why don't you settle down first, I will go out with Dr. Ji and listen to the news first, so that it will be much easier to find tomorrow. After all, it's almost the wax moon, so let's hurry up. ”

Xu Jingyi looked at Zhu Amber with suspicion, and then thought that he might be embarrassed to say it if he was thinking of finding another place to live.

"Okay, then it's hard work for you. We went upstairs first. ”

After that, Xu Jingyi took his brother upstairs, and the front desk greeted several people upstairs with an extremely flattering smile.

Although Runye did not show his dissatisfaction, it was difficult to hide the embarrassment and embarrassment, Zhu Amber saw several people go upstairs, and hurriedly walked in front of Runye, close to Runye's body.

She said in a very low voice: "Chief Rundao, these people don't know your identity, don't care about it in the future." Your words may become the difference between life and death in the future, and I hope you will spare these idiots. ”

Runye was deflated when she heard Amber say this.

"I don't care about it. They look down on people with dogs, am I still like dogs? ”

Saying that, Zhu Amber and Runye walked out of the door of the government-run post station, searched for it, and found another private inn near the post station.

Seeing that the conditions were good, the two walked in, Zhu Amber asked Runye and herself for an upper room, and soon the two of them lived in the room they wanted to live in, which was not worse than the upper room of the official office.
