July 15, Midyear Day.

The Midyear Festival is also called the Ghost Festival, so a grand sacrifice is held in the temple to pay tribute to the ancestors and the heroic souls who sacrificed their lives for the country in the war, begging for more talents from heaven to protect the country and the people from invading.

Ye Yun got up early in the morning, yawned and said to Xiaoqiu, who had just come back: "No one can give face, the old man's face must be given, I didn't expect that it is not easy to be a nobleman, and I have to go to the sacrifice, I won't be stupid to stand in the temple for a day, right?"

At this time, Dongfang Yixue's voice sounded outside: "Ye Yunyang, have you gotten up, if you get up, open the door, I'm here to deliver you clothes." ”

Dongfang Yixue learned to be obedient and didn't raise her foot and kick the door like before.

The reason is that after she kicked the door as usual a while ago, she saw something that she shouldn't have seen - Ye Yunyang, who was naked, fled in the desert while shouting, and since then she never dared to kick the door again, she will come unless she has to come, and she will ask very politely first, and only dare to enter after getting permission.

Ye Yunyang smiled, his heart has finally learned to be obedient, it is worth making such a big sacrifice in order to teach you how to be polite.

That's right, he deliberately took off his clothes and stayed in the house, and after Dongfang Yixue kicked the door open, he pretended to be changing his clothes.

He walked over and opened the door, pointed to the brand-new student uniform on his body, and asked, "What kind of clothes are you sending, I'm all ready, you see, there is not a single wrinkle, and it will definitely not smear the face of our national academy." ”

Dongfang Yixue couldn't help but stuff a stack of clothes over, and said, "You are now the county marquis of the emperor's Qinfeng, and you have to wear official clothes to attend the sacrificial activities, go and change into them?"

He was stunned: "I still have an official uniform, why don't I know?"

The beautiful woman explained: "The official uniform was uniformly made by the Imperial Manufacturing Bureau, and after you were named the Marquis of Feng'an County, someone came to ask for your size, and I told them that they sent this official uniform after it was made." ”

"Then why didn't you give it to me earlier?" he glared.

The eyes of the beautiful teacher widened: "Let you wear an official uniform in school, don't dream, if you don't go to the sacrifice today, don't even think about it." Don't talk nonsense, hurry in and change in, and set off in ten minutes. ”

With that, she turned and left.

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and returned to the dormitory with his clothes, the materials of the clothes were very particular, they were the best Xuanxi Lake silk, the neckline and sleeves were embroidered with purple and gold silk threads to embroider the flower pattern of entwined branches, and the hem of the clothes was a water ripple pattern, the most eye-catching thing was the clouded leopard shape on the chest, which was extremely expressive in the world.

Changing into this set of clothes, Ye Yunyang's temperament changed, and he was domineering in his confidence, sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, this sentence is too right.

Official uniform, it feels different, he walked out of the dormitory with vigor and went to the gate to meet Dongfang Yixue.

Along the way, the classmates were all envious, and they won the imperial emperor's title as a student, not to mention in the national capital college, that is, the first part of the Dongping country.

Dongfang Yixue was wearing a high priest's uniform embroidered with a maple leaf pattern, although it was also very magnificent, but it was similar to the clothes she wore on weekdays, and it was less amazing than Ye Yunyang.

He walked over with a grin and asked, "How's it going?"

The beautiful priest looked him up and down, touched his chin and said, "It's not bad, the size is very appropriate, which shows that the vision of this sect is still very poisonous." ”

He deliberately twisted and smiled: "That's it, everyone has been seen by you, and judging the size is not a piece of cake!"

"Ye Yunyang, do you want to die?" Dongfang Yixue said with a red face and gritted her teeth, that "accident" made her unable to raise her head for a long time, so that she couldn't let go of it until now.

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Even if I didn't say anything, you haven't commented on my outfit yet." ”

Dongfang Yixue snorted: "People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles......"

"Hehe, I think so too!"

"I haven't finished yet, what are you excited about, listen, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles...... The dog wears a bell and runs away, the latter sentence is a true portrayal of you!" After speaking, Dongfang Yixue raised her chin proudly, stepped out of the door with two long legs hidden under the wizard's robe, leaving Ye Yunyang standing alone in place.

The holy temple was not far from the academy, and Dongfang Yixue did not arrange a carriage.

Ye Yunyang followed behind angrily, muttering in his mouth: "It's too much to let a noble county marquis walk to participate in the sacrifice, it's better to wear a student uniform, at least it won't look so ostentatious!"

After a while, the two came to the temple and were allowed to enter after revealing their identities.

Today's temple is very different from the past, five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, all of them are Imperial Forest soldiers in shining armor, they hold cold weapons in their hands, and their faces are solemn.

According to the regulations, when important priestly activities were held in the temple, ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and officials of low rank were not qualified to observe the ceremony.

After entering the gate, various musical instruments such as chimes and chimes are arranged on both sides, and court musicians are playing ritual music.

Ye Yunyang saw that there was someone in the square in front of him who was wearing the same clothes as himself, but he could see a clear difference at a glance, and asked: "Teach sister, why is the clouded leopard on that person's clothes embroidered with silver thread, but mine is purple and gold, is there any difference?"

Dongfang Yixue gritted her teeth, but still explained: "The title is divided into two kinds: the imperial title is divided into hereditary and ordinary titles, the same title is the same in the clothing pattern, but the materials used are different, the hereditary seal of the imperial seal uses purple gold silk thread, the ordinary title uses gold silk thread, and the royal title can only use silver silk thread, which is a very strict rule, no one is allowed to trespass, and the violator is to be beheaded." ”

"That's right. While carefully observing the clothes of the nobles, he said, "Isn't there a hereditary succession in the royal title?"

"Of course not!" the beautiful woman looked at him with the eyes of the earth bun, and said: "The princes and kings have the land to be rewarded by the emperor, so they have no right to give the land to the courtiers permanently, of course, mainly because they are reluctant, as long as the monarch is willing, he can give the land to others in private, but no one is willing to do this." ”

In the vassal countries, the title is often just a symbolic title, and many prince-level nobles do not even have a food estate, which also reflects the slamming of the king.

Ye Yunyang nodded, and he immediately discovered an obvious phenomenon: "Why are they all silver silk threads, and there are no hereditary nobles who can barely accept it, but why don't you even have an imperial seal?"

Dongfang Yixue smiled bitterly: "We are a small country, almost no one can enter the emperor's eyes, you are the first one." ”

The corners of Ye Yunyang's mouth rose quickly, and he said in an arrogant tone: "In this way, it seems that it is difficult for me to be low-key, just this official uniform can make me stand out from the crowd, coupled with the innate temperament of this marquis, these dirt buns all have to bow down." ”

Dongfang Yixue expected him to say this, and walked away quickly with a disgusted face, with an expression on his face that I didn't recognize this thing.

"Don't leave me here alone, it's boring. He was just about to catch up, when he suddenly saw two familiar faces among the small group of people in the distance, it was Tai Lieutenant Wu Han and General Yin Falcon.

Both of them wore brown-red military attache uniforms, and according to the regulations, no one other than the guards was allowed to wear armor at the ceremony, let alone weapons.

He gave up the idea of chasing after the beautiful women, and felt that he should go and say hello to the two dudes.

Like walking on the street, his purple-gold pattern official uniform was too eye-catching, and soon became the focus of everyone's attention, and the words "Ye Yunyang" appeared very frequently.

There is no way, the entire Dongping Kingdom is such an imperial county marquis, and with his seventeen-year-old baby face, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.

"Uncle Wu, Uncle Yin, the boy Ye Yunyang has given you a salute. He saluted to the two elders.

Wu Han laughed and said: "Yes, yes, there is the style of the little marquis." ”

Yin Falcon immediately corrected and said: "How can it be the little marquis, it is an upright marquis, and the second ancestor who waits for the elders to kick his legs to inherit the title, I don't know how many times stronger." ”

Wu Han nodded and said: "That's right, it's the Hou Ye, not the little Hou Ye, if my family Junyan can catch up with half of you, I, the father, will be satisfied." ”

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "The two elders are really polite, don't say that I am just a small county marquis, even if I am a hereditary prince, when I see you two, I have to respectfully call Uncle Wu and Uncle Yin." ”

The two felt that there was light on their faces, and they were very happy, and pulled Ye Yunyang to introduce him to the generals around him.

After a period of greetings, everyone began to talk about the Daqin espionage case, and everyone knew that Ye Yunyang had made a lot of contributions to this case, and they appreciated him a lot.

Wu Han lowered his voice and said, "According to the news from the imperial capital, the mastermind behind the scenes is the ghost-faced horse. ”

"What, it's him?" all the generals changed their faces.

Ye Yunyang expressed his incomprehension and said: "Uncles and uncles, you are all people who have seen the world, how can you hear the words ghost-faced horse, all of them are like rats seeing cats, who is he?"

Yin Ying Zhengse said: "Young man, you haven't seen the power of the ghost-faced horse, he is a strong man born in the Great Qin Empire ten years ago, not only his own martial arts level is very high, but also proficient in the art of war, in the past ten years, the four main forces of our Han Empire have been abused one after another, each time with less to win more." ”

Wu Han added: "The army he commands is called the Ghost Face Army, in fact, he is not the chief general of the Ghost Face Army, the main will be Ji Lingshuang, the eldest princess of Great Qin, he has both the identity of a horse and a deputy commander, but those who know the inside story know that the reason why the Ghost Face Army can win all battles is because he helped Ji Lingshuang make suggestions." ”

Yin Falcon continued: "The reason why he is called the Ghost Face Army is because he likes to wear a ghost face mask, no one knows his real appearance and age, and no one knows how he became Ji Lingshuang's concubine, as if such a person suddenly appeared. ”

Wu Han frowned and said: "I have always wondered before, who made such a big deal and planted more than a hundred spies in our higher education institutions, and I was relieved to learn that the mastermind behind the scenes was a ghost-faced colt, only he could come up with such an insidious plan." ”

Ye Yunyang said in his heart Is he really that powerful, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a person, and in the face of the huge state machine, the individual seems so small.

He accidentally saw a "combination", which was coming this way, and the reason why it was said to be a combination was because the ages of the three were very interesting, one old, one middle and one young, and the three walked side by side.

After taking a closer look, he was happy, and said: "Uncle Wu, look, isn't that Sun Chengwen, Sun Jingming and Sun Shiyuan, how could the three of them appear at the same time, doesn't it mean that Sun Shiyuan is hiding at home and has no face to see people, and Sun Chengwen, Sun Jingming's father and son are also closed because of disgrace?"

Wu Han smacked his lips: "What you said is the old yellow calendar, the three ancestors and grandchildren often appeared together a long time ago, and they were officials in the same dynasty, not only did they not lose face because of the previous events, but they were in full swing." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "Yes, I really didn't expect it! An acquaintance is here, I think I should go up and say hello, what do you think, hehe." ”
