As night fell, the moon was in the treetops, and Qin Feng stood on the cliff, staring at the tallest building in Kyoto City, Nanbo City: Babel Tower.

"Imperial Zhaotian Yearbook History" records, the Tower of Babel was built by the Great Shang Empire of the previous dynasty, when the Daluo Empire moved its capital to Dingyang, it has always been called "Thunder Tower", also called "Thunder Tower", legend has it that listening to thunder on the Thunder Tower, can receive the will of heaven. After the Daluo Empire moved its capital here, it was renamed Babel Tower, which means the way to heaven.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, the cool wind of the night caressed his face, and recalled the mysterious place he was taken to that night, the land of the starry sky, and the deafening sound of thunder, until now when he recalled, it was roaring in his ears.

Qin Feng's eyes were as angry as lightning, and he looked at the Tower of Babel emitting a soft blue light under the night with a cold expression, and sneered, and said with suspicion in his heart: Perhaps, where he was that night, was the Tower of Babel.

On the cliff, Xixiang has fallen asleep, this simple-hearted maid has an innocent temperament of spring joy and autumn sorrow, as if she has a crystal heart that has not been contaminated with earthly dust, and the troubles of the world and all things are hidden in front of her.

The master often mentioned in his own practice perception codex that Taoist practice pays attention to quiet and inaction, leaving the country and sitting and forgetting, Qin Feng thought more than once that if this girl worshiped under his master, would she practice a way and go further than herself.

He has been a human being in two lives, has experienced too much, has a cautious and tenacious temperament, and is jealous and jealous, soft and not offensive, but more suitable for kendo!

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Youlan quietly walked to Qin Feng's side and asked him in a gentle voice, "When you went back to the prince's mansion yesterday, did you talk to the eldest prince about the Duke of Wei?"

Qin Feng turned to look at Jiang Youlan, only to see the moonlight enveloping her body, gilding her with a layer of silver brilliance, making it more and more beautiful and moving, and her big eyes curved like the moon were filled with wet melancholy, as bright as moonlight, and the country and the city were overwhelmed!

"Changzhou is trapped without water, and the law of relocation of the people is afraid that it will not be approved by His Majesty. Qin Feng did not answer Jiang Youlan's question, but instead talked about the matter she discussed with Gu Haoyue today.

"Do you have a better way?"

Qin Shizi had no interest in state affairs such as civil construction and canal weir dredging, and he did not make any achievements. Jiang Youlan knew this, and the reason why she asked this question was not to let Qin Feng tell a better method, but more of a way to stop expressing her opinions and shut up if she didn't know. Hence the hint of disdain in his tone.

Qin Feng could naturally hear the meaning of this, and he didn't argue, and said after pondering for a moment: "Whether Your Majesty's edict can be obtained is still unknown, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to get, but as long as you help me do one thing, Wei Guogong's life can be guaranteed." ”

The moon is like a hook, the summer insects are crisp, the night wind is like a flocculent cloud covering the moonlight, and the cliff is covered with a layer of haze, Jiang Youlan can't see Qin Feng's expression clearly, but he can feel a chill emanating from his body.

"Are you afraid?" Qin Feng said coldly.

"No, what am I afraid of?" Jiang Youlan responded in a panic.

"Don't tremble, this won't kill you. ”

It wasn't until Qin Feng mentioned it that Jiang Youlan realized that the chill that Qin Feng had invisibly exuded before had already made her tremble.

Mochen Zhai, located in the north city of Daluo Kyoto, at the end of Tailuo Lake, the golden eaves in the green is the main building of the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion of Mochen Zhai.

Mochen Zhai is only seven miles away from the palace, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, and is the favorite place of the entire Daluo Empire, the official eunuchs and celebrities, the wealthy businessmen and magnates, and it is the place of the upper nine ranks. Receiving thousands of dignitaries from the empire and other principalities every day, as the largest "financial" industry of the imperial family, Mochen Zhai has five major institutions: "Four Arts Treasure Pavilion", "Changshengfang", "Songde Four Seasons", "Quality Warehouse" and "Dao Palace".

The Four Arts Treasure Pavilion is a national-level industry organization that collects and ranks the pinnacle works of the four major art industries of calligraphy, words, music and plastic, and the "Four Books and Five Classics, Three Sounds and Seven Scenes" is the evaluation of the Four Arts Treasure Shop in calligraphy and painting, poetry, music and hand-carving of 19 top works of the Daluo Empire. And behind these nineteen works, there are seventeen famous generations.

The Immortal Room, also known as the Ten Thousand Treasure Vault, collects the Empire's thousand-year-old savings, and contains countless treasures, and together with the Imperial Auction House Songde Four Seasons, it has become the most profitable industry in the Empire.

The nature of the pledge is similar to that of a pawn shop, and sellers who have good treasures can buy and sell or pawn in the pledge store of Mochenzhai, or they can trade freely in the "Jiefang" of the pledge store.

The quality warehouse Jiefang and Chengnanfang City, one south and one north, are the largest goods trading and circulation places in the Daluo Empire, but Jiefang does all the bulk trading, and the things traded are extremely expensive, while Chengnanfang City is more of a common people and traders.

As for the Dao Palace, it is a trading place specially provided for cultivators in the cultivation world, and to trade objects in the Dao Palace, you can't use Luo coins, and you need to use spirit stones as the trading currency.

Mochen Zhai's triennial music and rhythm ceremony, it was held in the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion, and now His Majesty likes music and rhythm poetry, so this music and rhythm ceremony, it is more grand than the other, from the seventy-two states and provinces of the Daluo Empire, hundreds of counties of music and rhythm talents, will go one after another, to participate in this music and rhythm ceremony.

One of the highlights of the music and rhythm ceremony is the Tianqu List, the sound should be four o'clock, the shock is in the eight directions, and the rhyme is also eight changes, so it is also called the "Eight Wind List".

In the past three years, thousands of new songs created by countless music and rhythm talents will be summarized in the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion this month to participate in the selection, which will be tasted by 27 highly respected music and rhythm masters, ranked on a 100-point scale, and the person in charge of presiding over the ranking of this year's Tianqu List is one of the three major music and rhythm masters of the Daluo Empire today, the music and rhythm teacher of His Majesty Luo Ling, and the nine-fingered qin Weng - the master of Gong Jiuge.

Today is the last day for the Tianqu Chart to receive music scores, and in ten days, Mochen Zhai will announce the Tianqu Chart, and the top 20 music composers on the list will be invited to participate in this music ceremony.

In the afternoon, Jiang Youlan appeared outside the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion in Mochen Zhai, with a beautiful roll of rice paper in her hand, accompanied by Qin Yun's sister, on the rice paper, there was a new song composed by Qin Feng last night.

The reason why Jiang Youlan suddenly appeared in Mochen Zhai at this hour is from this morning, early in the morning, Jiang Youlan took this song to Qin Fengren to say goodbye, and told his wife that he would take Qin Feng's new song to the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion of Mochen Zhai to participate in the evaluation of the new song list of this year's music ceremony.

Aiko's masterpiece wants to participate in the evaluation of the new song list, of course Mrs. Qin is full of joy, and she is afraid that Jiang Youlan will not understand the rules of Mochen Zhai, so she ordered Qin Yun to go together, and after the two daughters left the house, Mrs. Qin instructed the big housekeeper Yi Shui Liang to prepare three points of gifts, and brought them to Feng Changchun, the pavilion master of the Four Arts Treasure Pavilion of Mochen Zhai, and the two great masters of music and rhythm.

The Prince's Mansion is in the west of the city, if you take the official road, you will have to cross Fenglin Street and go east for more than 30 miles, arrive at the Qitian Temple Square in the center of Kyoto, and go north all the way, but Jiang Youlan said that she has not been out of the palace for a long time, and she is not in a hurry to evaluate the music score, so she proposed not to use cars and horses, but to walk, walk more than ten miles through the wide and narrow lanes of Kyoto, and go to Mochenzhai.

Qin Yun had a very good influence on Jiang Youlan, so naturally she had no opinion, and the two girls shuttled through the streets and alleys of Kyoto, strolling and walking, heading towards Mochen Zhai.

Jiang Youlan took Qin Yun and went north after crossing Fenglin Street, first passing through the lively Daxi Street, and then bypassing Kyoto Tairaku Mansion and the Imperial History Office, and came to Lekang Street in Chengbei District.

When passing by a cloth and satin shop on Lekang Street, Jiang Youlan deliberately stopped, looked at the old silk shirt on her body, and walked in, and Qin Yun naturally followed.

The proprietor of the cloth shop was a woman of about fifty years of age, who looked to have just recovered from a serious illness, haggard and emaciated, but her deep-set eyes were particularly bright. The female proprietress of a cloth shop rarely saw such sharp and bright eyes.

After choosing, in the end, Jiang Youlan left with a little disappointment, but Qin Yun happily promised Jiang Youlan that she would take her to the best beauty dyeing shop in Chengnanfang City another day to choose a few clothes that fit.

After leaving the cloth shop, Jiang Youlan and Qin Yun casually visited a few shops on Lekang Street, and Qin Yun also bought a hosta in a jade shop, and then continued to move forward.

The weather in Kyoto is indeed hot, it is only in the morning, the whole capital is like a burned brick kiln, making people breathless, the street ground is baked hot, this way, Qin Yunxiang is sweating, slightly tired, Jiang Youlan cultivates and builds a foundation, and her body is much stronger than Qin Yun, seeing that Qin Yun is already tired, so she slows down.

Jiang Youlan deliberately controlled the time, came out of Lekang Street, and turned to Yongan Avenue, three months ago Yongan Avenue had a murder case, and the assassination of Shizi and Zhang Yuanfu on the street was on this street, although the popularity has recovered, but everywhere you can see the forbidden army patrolling back and forth.

When passing by the "Mellow Tea Zhai" on Yongan Street, the hot weather will always make people unconsciously think of the special herbal tea of Mellow Xiangfang, "Amber Ice". Qin Yun couldn't help licking her dry lips, looked at Jiang Youlan, and proposed to go into the teahouse to rest for a while.

Jiang Youlan smiled and said, the two of them had a good heart, and walked into the mellow tea room together.

At the same time that Jiang Youlan stepped into the mellow tea restaurant, the inconspicuous cloth shop on Lekang Street walked into a blue-lined fierce man with a hat on his head, a majestic figure, and a bronze complexion, this man has a wide forehead, a high nose bridge, thick lips, a thick beard and a hard chin, and violent muscles like bricks, giving people a taste of unruliness and madness.

The macho man entered the store and shouted: "This ghost weather, her mother's air seems to be ignited, boss lady, has the goods arrived?"

The emaciated woman didn't look at the ghostly man, turned around and pulled out a piece of black fabric from the bottom of the back hanger, handed it to the man and said, "The storm may be coming at night, this is your goods, three loins." ”

The conversation between the two seemed a little weird, and there was no more communication, the macho man picked up the fabric, dropped three loin coins and left, but one piece of cloth was three loins, which was really not cheap.

The blue-lined man sandwiched the cloth and disappeared at the end of Lekang Street, Jiang Youlan made a cup of tea in the mellow tea house, and the blue-lined man appeared in the southernmost part of Chengnanfang City's "Yundan Road" pharmacy, the decorated palatial pharmacy shopkeeper, when he saw the blue-lined man step in, he greeted him with joy on his face, and whispered respectfully:

"Master Wei, I haven't seen you for a while, where have you made a fortune recently. ”

"I'm going to buy a magic weapon, but it's in stock. The blue-lined man took out a palm-sized piece of rice paper, handed it to the pharmacy shopkeeper and said.

"Yes, yes, naturally there is, as long as Wei Ye pays a starting price, the ghost market will have everything. Master Wei, come with me!" the shopkeeper of the pharmacy replied respectfully while leading the way.

There were two slight spatial fluctuations in the "Yundan Dao" pharmacy one after another, and in half an hour, when the blue-lined man walked out of the pharmacy again, there was already an extra half-inch square delicate crow green wood box in his hand.
