The lobby of the "inn".

Qin Xiang saw Qin Wuxi.

Although both have the surname Qin, they are not a family.

Qin Xiang is the county lord, and his father is a county king. Qin Wuxian did not inherit the title of county king, his father is still alive, and others call him a little county king or His Royal Highness, but it is just a compliment. From this point of view, the two are equal.

The son of the prince and the daughter of the king.

They are the same kind of people, Qin Wuxi put away the military attaché's domineering, showed the demeanor that a family should have, and received Qin Xiang very politely.

In fact, the circle of the top magnates is really not large, and after careful calculation, they are all related to each other, most of the men of the clan have married the daughters of the nobles, and most of the noble men have also married the daughters of the clan. As long as the situation is stable and there is no infighting, most of the time it is a group of harmony, at least it maintains the harmony on face.

No matter how arrogant these young men and women are in front of others, they are still extremely talkative and educated in front of their peers.

Qin Wuxi is naturally very curious about how a county lord can be in this place, Qin Xiang is not a fool, some things can be said to people, and some things can never be said to people, she can't say that she was deceived by others to this place, the shame is secondary, the key is the Zongren Mansion.

The so-called Zongren Mansion, which was first named Dazong Zhengyuan, was later renamed Zongren Mansion, which was in charge of the affairs of the royal family, including the royal family register, the compilation of jade, and the recording of the children's descendants, names, titles, birth and death times, marriages, nicknames, funerals, and also recorded crimes and faults. There are three chief officials, namely: Zongren Ling, Zuo Zongzheng, and Right Zongzheng, all of which are positive products. Today, the three major officials here are all held by the eldest prince.

When it comes to the rules of the Zongren Mansion, it is also loose when it is said that it is loose, and it is also strict when it is said that it is strict.

For the prince of real power who participates in the government politics, it is only slightly better than waste paper, because the deposition of a prince with real power involves a wide range of things, and even makes the court situation shake, and it will never be because a prince is unruly.

But for an ordinary clan woman like her, it was not difficult to lose her title. If she really wants to involve something that she has dealings with the members of the Eight Ministries, I'm afraid that the end will be worrying.

So Qin Xiang made up a lie, she didn't sneak out, but went out with the guards and came here unintentionally.

Although Qin Wuxi's surname is Qin, and he is the son of the king of the county, he is not a clan, but belongs to the ranks of nobles, plus he has been in the army for a long time, and he is really not familiar with the rules of the Zongren Mansion, and he is not suspicious of himself, after all, the way of the world has also changed, and he does not practice science, women should go out when they should go out, and they should see people, it is not a big deal.

It's just that in Qin Wuxi's view, Qin Xiang should belong to the prosperous Jiangnan with quiet years, not the northwest of the desert and yellow sand, especially this West Gobi, which is mixed with fish and dragons. And Qin Wuxi was also very curious, why didn't he see Qin Xiang's guards, she was the only one left here.

Qin Xiang said: "I heard that the scenery of Cuowenbu is very good, so I came over, but I didn't expect that there are demons here, my escort was killed by a group of hidden association demons, and a passing Jianghu knight rescued me, he brought me here, and then went...... Went to ......"

Qin Xiang turned his gaze to the shopkeeper of the "inn".

At this time, the shopkeeper already understood why Qi Xuansu asked him to inform Qingluanwei, and hurriedly said: "That righteous man from the rivers and lakes was hired by our 'inn' and went to the workshop. He also instructed the villain that if he couldn't come back, he would notify Qingluanwei. ”

The shopkeeper didn't mention the matter of Bai Yutang, after all, more things are better than less.

Qin Wuxi curled the corners of his mouth: "A righteous man, I always thought that the chivalrous man of the rivers and lakes only existed in the script, but I didn't expect that there was still one in reality, no matter what, I wanted to meet that righteous man." It's just that the workshop is in charge of the people of the Daomen, whether he can come back alive or not, I don't count, what the Daomen says, it counts. ”

Qin Xiang's face turned slightly pale: "Daomen? ”

"This time it is a joint operation of the imperial court and the Daomen, we are in charge of the land, they are in charge of the sky, and they will not let go of one." Qin Wuxian smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, this is not the first time we have fought side by side, at the beginning, at the border, we dealt with the cavalry of the Golden Horde, and they dealt with the shamanic wizards, I have to say that these Daomen are all powerful characters, not some flower garden Taoists." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was also pale. He knew in his heart that most of those people would not be able to come back, and the "inn" had connections and relationships in the imperial court, but it was not too strong in Daomen, even if the "inn" was once a part of Daomen, and it was the Qingping Society that was really closely related to Daomen. Therefore, Daomen will not hesitate to eliminate those people in the "inn" as their own achievements and merits.

At this moment, Qin Wuxi felt the warmth of the Zimu talisman he was carrying, and he waved his hand towards the shopkeeper of the "inn", signaling him to retreat, but did not avoid Qin Xiang.

For him, Qin Xiang is his own person, and he is an equal person to himself, he needs to be respected, and he can't lose his manners. The shopkeeper of the "inn" is neither his own nor an equal person, so he doesn't care what he thinks.

Qin Wuxian walked to the corner, took out the Zimu talisman, and turned into a ball of light in front of him.

The light flame changed into Shangguan Jing's appearance.

"Shangguan Zhenren, how is it on your side?" Qin Wuxi asked casually.

Shangguan Jing's voice was slightly distorted: "A few rats escaped, it is related to Bai Yutang." ”

"Bai Yutang?" Qin Wuxi was slightly stunned.

"Have you heard of Bai Yutang?" Shangguan Jing was a little surprised, he knew that Bai Yutang was not strange, but Qin Wuxian was not a person who specialized in dealing with secret associations, so he knew that Bai Yutang was a little strange.

Qin Wuxian said: "I have not only heard of it, but I have also seen it. I once met a woman in the Metropolitan Palace, and she came to see the Shogun, and the Shogun talked to this woman for a long time. Later I learned that this woman was from Bai Yutang, and she had a deal with the general about the Golden Horde. Soon after, the general personally led the army to attack, killed more than 2,000 enemies, and was crowned the crown prince by His Majesty. ”

The general is the protector of Xizhou.

Shangguan Jing was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How much do you know about Bai Yutang?" ”

Qin Wuxian and Shangguan Jing are old acquaintances, so they have no intention of concealing it: "After this incident, I used some connections to start investigating this so-called Bai Yutang, but I have gained something. Bai Yutang is more like a product of the alliance of the major secret associations, in which the members come from different secret associations, to my feeling, Bai Yutang is a bit like the Jinque of the Daomen, in which the members behind the representatives of the major secret associations are the Taiping Dao, the Quanzhen Dao, the Zhengyi, and the Great Palm Sect. ”

"Be careful!" Shangguan Jing reminded him, but did not deny this statement. In fact, there is indeed no essential difference between the two in terms of structure, but more in terms of strength.

Qin Wuxian turned around and said, "Actually, I don't care much about Bai Yutang, after all, dealing with the secret association is a matter for your Daomen, and it doesn't have much to do with us. It's just that I'm very curious about that woman and want to know what she's all about. ”

"You mean the woman who made a deal with your general?" Shangguan said respectfully.

"Yes." Qin Wuxi nodded and said, "For this reason, I had a deep talk with the general. To my surprise, the general did not hide from me, but told me everything. The woman is a member of the Qingping Society, her real name is unknown, the name of the word brand is 'Qi Niangzi', and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Qi Niang'. She is a broker and does all kinds of business and trade, mainly with all kinds of information. This time, it was she who threaded the needle and led the way to facilitate the deal between the general and a Nayan on the other side of the Golden Horde, and obtained the movements of the Golden Horde army, thus winning a complete victory. ”

"In other words, this Qi Niang is one of the representatives of the Qingping Society in the White Jade Hall?" Shangguan Jing said thoughtfully.

Qin Wuxian said: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, you need to verify it yourself." ”
