The man in front of him, Tu Qitang had never seen before, but for some reason, this witch boy gave him a rather different feeling. Tu Qitang himself can't say why he feels this way, maybe it's the kingly demeanor that he exudes in his bones, maybe it's his overly calm attitude, in short, he is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe not even a person from the Xiling Sect.

Tu Qitang did not doubt the ability of the Southern Saintess to control people, the Southern Saintess had cultivated at the altar for many years, and she was indestructible through wind and rain, the traitors she eradicated for the Xiling Sect were difficult to estimate, and the ruthlessness of the means was by no means comparable to ordinary people. But even she may not be able to hold this man firmly in the palm of her hand.

"You're the witch boy of Kauz?" Tu Qitang pretended to greet him easily, raised his hand, and motioned for him to sit down, "It's funny, although I've heard that there are witches and witches, but this is the first time I've seen witches in these years. Since you are a witch boy and a messenger of God, why didn't I see you at the dinner last time? ”

The witch man sent by the Southern Holy Maiden sat beside him without humility or arrogance, nodded and saluted back: "I am still young in my qualifications, and I just do some trivial things for the witch on weekdays, how can I be qualified to compare with the distinguished guests." ”

Tu Qitang smiled slightly, the witch man's tone sounded very humble, and his expression and movements were like those of a sincere and terrified believer, but his eyes did not show the slightest weakness. He always maintained a shallow smile, and his eyes looked so gentle and respectful, but they also revealed that arrogance that was difficult to hide.

A man with a unique arrogance, this makes Tu Qitang feel fresh, especially if he can maintain this arrogance in front of him, this person in front of him is not an ordinary person.

Too lazy to go around in circles with him, Tu Qitang said simply and clearly: "What did the witch send you for?" ”

The witch took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to him: "The shrine maiden has something to say, please ask His Royal Highness the prince to take a look."

Tu Qitang snorted a little impatiently, it seems that the Southern Saintess did not learn the lesson of that night, and still wanted to point fingers at him, sending an unidentified witch boy to deliver him a letter, even if he didn't read the letter, he knew what she wrote. It is nothing more than to persuade him to stay away from the princess of the Han Dynasty, so as not to offend the Holy Maiden of Mingyue and learn to protect herself.

Ridiculous woman! Do you really think he is her long-lost little brother! Since he was a child, he has appeared in front of him as a big sister, yes, he did thank her, it was because he was young and ignorant, and he thought that there was really care and warmth in the world. In fact, even if it is a close relative, it will be considered for their own interests, let alone people who are not related by blood!

Maybe the Southern Holy Maiden approached him, but for the sake of him being the sect leader, he wanted to win him over to deal with the tyrannical Bright Moon Holy Maiden. Don't dare to bear the charge of traitor, just count on subverting the altar, perhaps, she is a more insidious woman than the Bright Moon Saintess.

Tu Qitang took the letter and put it directly on the coffee table, without any intention of opening it to see, waved his hand, and said perfunctorily: "Is there anything else?" Witch man? ”

The witch boy didn't say much, shook his head and said goodbye: "The words have been brought, and I will retire below." ”

As soon as he took two steps, the witch turned back and said, "Your Royal Highness, your attendant has entrusted me with something, but I think you already know about it, right?" ”

"Oh?" Tu Qitang raised his eyebrows curiously.

"The Han attendant slandered the Holy Maiden of Mingyue of the Xiling Sect, please uphold justice." The witch man finally lived up to the squire's expectations, and summed up the things he wanted to say but didn't dare to say in one sentence.

"Slander?" Tu Qitang smiled coldly, and shouted in his heart, it was inconvenient to show it in front of the witch man, after all, he was also a member of the Xiling Sect.

"Well, I know, the recent rainstorm has hit the people, I didn't expect the witch to still have the heart to take care of this stall, don't forget that this is Qiuzi not rest, the Han people don't know much about the Xiling Sect, and imposing it on others will have the opposite effect. In my opinion, it is better not to keep this matter quiet, lest it spread to the other side and cause unnecessary trouble. If you have time, you might as well pray for the blessings of the people, and don't take other people's affairs seriously. When Tu Qitang said this, he was not afraid of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, but he was worried that Liu Ye and his party would provoke public anger and become the target of the Xiling Sect.

Not to mention that these words were transmitted to the altar, even if they were heard by the Southern Holy Maiden, they would inevitably have complications. The witch in front of him is a subordinate of the Southern Holy Maiden, if he can control his mouth, it is fine, if not, I am afraid that he will have to solve it.

Unexpectedly, the witch man was very happy to agree, and he didn't see the slightest entanglement: "I understand, say goodbye." ”

Sending away the witch man who met for the first time, Tu Qitang couldn't feel at ease no matter how he thought about it, what did the Southern Saintess do? What is the position of the witch in the Shrine? With his understanding of the Holy Maiden of the South, she is not like the kind of person who is full of food and has nothing to do, she will not send someone to send him a letter for no reason!

As soon as he thought of this, Tu Qitang's eyes moved to the letterhead, could it be that the answer was inside?

Liu Ye and the others rested in the dormitory for several days, seeing that the pouring rain had no intention of stopping, they couldn't help but worry about the people affected by the disaster.

Feng Yan and Qing Ling played with the two children, and the teacher accompanied Liu Ye to play backgammon, Chang Hui sat next to him and watched for a while, and gradually saw that there was a danger on Liu Ye's side, and hurriedly said: "Princess, be careful......

"General Chang!" Shi Zhong interrupted him angrily, Chang Hui smirked twice, scratching the back of his head, "Yo, do you really want to play chess with the princess, it's just entertainment, right, princess?" ”

"yes, just for fun." The people around Liu Ye have learned a few modern words, and they feel even closer to communication, "However, General Chang, silence is golden, it's rare that Master Shi is willing to accompany me to play backgammon, and I can still get away with winning a few of his pieces, if I play Go, I'm only afraid that the whole army will be wiped out." ”

"It's still the princess's invented backgammon, to be honest, I can't even read Go, but I can understand it after watching it a few times. In the future, if Master Shi doesn't accompany you, I can also play a few games. Chang Hui did not forget to flatter.

"The person you want to accompany is not a princess, I remember Miss Feng said that she played backgammon well." Shi Zhongyun said lightly, Chang Hui suddenly blushed to the base of his neck, not to be outdone, and sarcastically mocked him, "What about you?" I remember that Qingling said that if you want to learn backgammon, do you want to teach her when you are proficient! ”

"Miss Qingling wants to learn, just look for Miss Feng, why do you need to come to me again, General Chang's imagination is too rich." Shizhong replied to him without being salty, and the two of them teased each other with every word you and me.

Liu Ye is not good at playing Go, and he is a master in the division, but in order to accommodate her, he also began to play backgammon. Liu Ye told him that she had crossed over from two thousand years later, and she didn't know if Shi Zhongxiang believed it, but she knew that no matter where she came from, Shi Zhong would always treat her consistently. In the eyes of the teacher, except for these strange and new things, Liu Ye is no different from ordinary people.

Liu Ye remembers that some people on the Internet argued whether Go originated in the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, and she can now responsibly say that Go did exist in the Western Han Dynasty, not only as a favorite entertainment item in the royal family, but also among the people. There are some chess games that she has never heard of, which can be described in the book of heaven, which is really incomprehensible, no wonder Chang Hui, a native of the country, doesn't understand it either.

"I wonder when this rain will be?" Chang Hui packed up the chess pieces, wiped the chessboard, looked out the window and sighed, "In a few days, people will be moldy, and there is no place to settle if you want to go out for a walk, and you will be suffocated to death in the room all day long." You play chess to pass the time, they don't feel bored coaxing the children, and the seniors practice alone in the room, and no one is allowed to disturb them, leaving me alone with nothing to do. ”

Hearing Chang Hui's complaint, Liu Ye said disagreefully: "It's good that we don't have a shortage of food and drink in the palace, haven't you heard, the flood has inundated hundreds of acres of fertile fields around Kyoto, and the people can't even eat a full meal, so if it goes on like this, I don't know how many people are displaced." ”

Saying that, Liu Ye lost his interest in playing chess, and his eyebrows were full of gloom: "Natural and man-made disasters, it is the common people who suffer!" Ordinary people have always had no quarrel with the world, they just want to be fed and clothed, guard their families, and live a plain and happy life, how can we minimize the losses caused by disasters and let the people return to normal life as soon as possible? ”

Chang Hui saw that she was annoyed by what happened to the people of Qiuci, and she had nowhere to use her strength to come up with a force, so she could only sigh: "There are so many people in the Qiuci royal family who can't think of a good way, what's the use of us being in a hurry!" Princess, you are kind-hearted, but you can't manage all the injustices in the world, so it's good that we can take care of Dahan and Wusun. ”

Shizhong put down the chess pieces in his hand, pondered for a long time, and said: "I think this is an opportunity, the princess should not have limitations in loving the people, and it is also a merit to be kind to the people of neighboring countries, the question is whether we have a way to help them, whether we can get the support of the Qiuzi royal family." ”

Liu Ye's idea was supported by the teacher, and his thinking was also broadened: "The main reason for the inaction of the Qiuzi royal family is that they are too superstitious about the gods, and it is understandable to have faith, and it is wrong to strengthen the power of faith too much. Things are man-made, and human power is more important. As far as I know, the ministers who went to inspect the disaster came back silently, but the king led his ministers to worship God more and more often. It can be seen that the royal family of Qiuzi pinned all their hopes on the gods, and did not try to find a way to save the suffering people. ”

"The priority is to clear the floods, recover as much damage as possible, and rebuild homes for the people. It is not right for them to ignore and leave them to their own devices. Instead of offering money to the gods, it is better to use it for relief to the victims, and I will not hide it from you, in fact, I have written to the king to advise him, but there has been no response until now, maybe he didn't pay attention to it at all. ”

"Princess, why don't you write another one?" Shizhong encouraged her, "I think the princess's suggestion is very good, although the specific way to do it still needs to be carefully considered, but first of all, we must attract the attention of the king, without the support of the royal family, even if we have the heart, we are powerless!" ”

"Okay, whether he accepts it or not, I'll persuade you again." Chang Hui brought a parchment roll and a brush, Liu Ye thought for a while and was about to start writing, when he suddenly heard that someone came to report, and the king and queen asked the princess to talk about it.

Liu Ye's face was happy: "It seems that they agree with my proposal and ask me to come over to discuss." ”

"Well, princess, let's go." The division escorted Liu Ye there, and the two discussed the method of controlling the flood, and unknowingly came to the outside of the hall, and it was the Qiuzi witch who was greeted by him.
