Princess Chaoyun gave an order, and the soldiers around her immediately swarmed up, intending to catch Wu Ming.

"The princess is angry~"

The old man on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers around him, and then bowed deeply to Princess Chaoyun: "This chivalrous warrior drove away the assassin, he is a meritorious person, and he should be treated with courtesy, showing His Highness's generosity." ”

Princess Chaoyun looked at Wu Ming, and did not hide the faint disgust in her eyes.

After all, the first impression is difficult to reverse, and in Princess Chaoyun's opinion, Wu Ming rushed into the bathing place as soon as he appeared, and he must be a suspicious person.

But as a princess, this bit of energy is still there.

According to what Master Taichang said, he was rewarded with some gold and silver, and sent him out of Taichang Temple. ”

said that it was given away, but in fact, there was not much difference between it and taking it away.

Wu Ming smacked his lips, it seemed that the person in front of him was really not Twilight Rain. Wu Ming is not stupid, he can see that the princess Chaoyun in front of him really hates herself, not pretending.

Wu Ming sighed secretly, sure enough, it was not so easy to find Twilight, but finding the "Rising Clouds" was also a big progress.

The old man hurriedly nodded yes, and then gave a look to a few witches on the side.

"You send this knight to the side hall to rest first, and I will personally thank you later. ”

Two witches, one red and one white, walked out on the side, looking at Wu Ming with a smile on their faces, unabashedly admiring.

As soon as Wu Ming appeared, he retreated from the enemy, and these witches had never seen the sword light flying, so they naturally admired him.

"Childe, please come with us~"

The two witches, one left and one right, led Wu Ming to the bottom of the high platform, Wu Ming looked back at Princess Chaoyun as he walked, but unfortunately all he got was a cold glance.

The only way to stay is to stay first, and then find a chance to find out.

Wu Ming glanced around, and now that there were many soldiers around the altar, the assassin should not make any more moves, so he left with the two witches with peace of mind.

Looking at Wu Mingyuan's figure below the altar, Princess Chaoyun frowned slightly and snorted softly.

Tai Changqing on the side looked at Princess Chaoyun with some surprise, in his memory, Princess Chaoyun has always been a calm character, and he doesn't know why she is targeting this swordsman so much today.

"Princess, why are you so dissatisfied with this son?"

"He just ......"

Princess Chaoyun was halfway through her words, and hurriedly stopped: "Lord Taichang, continue to hold the sacrificial ceremony, otherwise you will miss the hour." ”

"Yes. ”

Tai Changqing bowed down and replied, and then walked towards the center of the altar with Princess Chaoyun.

On the other side, Wu Ming was led by two witches to a study room with a clear and unique layout in the side hall, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood wafting in the air, which was refreshing.

The two witches let Wu Ming to the upper seat, and then were busy pouring tea and water for him: "May I ask the son's surname?"

Wu Ming smiled and nodded: "My name is Wu Ming." ”

The witch in red grinned, "Then we will call you Wu Gongzi." ”

Wu Ming nodded: "What do you call it?"

"My name is Liyue, and her name is Shen Qiu. ”

The girl in red pursed her lips and couldn't stop laughing: "Wu Gongzi, where is your family, how old are you?"

Shen Qiu, who was in white on the side, stretched out his hand and knocked on Liyue: "You, ask this and that as soon as you meet, you are in a hurry to get married!"

Liyue turned around and glared at Shen Qiu: "I hate it~"

Wu Ming didn't expect the folk customs of the Han Dynasty to be so open, and the two young women teased each other in front of him, not shying away from it at all, but it made Wu Ming feel a little embarrassed.

With a cough, Wu Ming opened his mouth and said, "Look at what you are wearing, are you all witches in this temple?"

Shen Qiu hurriedly replied: "Yes, we have been in Taichang Temple since we were six years old, and Lord Taichang gave me witch clothes last year, and the moon was later than me, and it was given at the beginning of this year. ”

Wu Ming sighed, there are so many witches in this era, it seems that the culture of witches has not completely declined.

But looking at the appearance of these two people, they are no different from ordinary little girls, it seems that they should be just ordinary people, unlike Twilight Rain, who can ask the gods to descend.

Wu Ming asked tentatively: "I heard that the witch can go up to the heavens and go down to the ground, and she is a very powerful person, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today." ”

Liyue couldn't help laughing: "That's all written in the book, the great witch in ancient times could do it, but we are just witches who serve the gods, we don't have any magical powers, at most we can only dance and dance at the sacrifice." ”

"Is that so?"

Wu Ming nodded, Liyue and they were really just ordinary women.

"With such a large Taichang Temple, isn't there a witch who can communicate with the gods?"

Liyue smiled and waved her hand: "Maybe there is one, Princess Chaoyun, she ......"

As soon as she was halfway through, Qiu Shen on the side reached out and pushed Liyue, shook her head at her, Liyue understood, and closed her mouth and didn't continue.

Wu Ming saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was roughly clear.

Princess Chaoyun should have the power of a shrine maiden, otherwise she would not have been able to make herself dizzy and fall with one palm in the pool before.

However, it seems that it is inconvenient for these witches to talk about Princess Chaoyun, I don't know if it is because of her noble status or some other reason.

The scene seemed a little cold for a while, Qiu Shen hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured water for Wu Ming, and at the same time said with a smile: "Wu Gongzi, your swordsmanship is so powerful, it's the first time I've seen someone who can make a sword fly in the sky, and I've only heard it in stories before." ”

Liyue on the side also came over: "Yes, yes, where is your sword, take it out and show us~"

"Yes, show us your great sword~"

Wu Ming was a little dizzy by the chatter of the two girls, and hurriedly waved his hand: "The sword is a murder weapon, and it can't be easily shown." ”

"Hahaha......"

An old laugh sounded from outside the door, and then the white-haired Tai Changqing stepped into the study, looking at Wu Ming with a pair of bright eyes, showing appreciation.

"It's a good saying 'the sword is a murder weapon', that's a good saying. ”

When Qiu Shen and Liyue saw Tai Changqing coming, they quickly put away the smile on their faces, and stood quietly aside and stopped talking.

Wu Ming also hurriedly stood up to greet the old man

Since the official position of this old man is Taichang Qing, then he should be the person in charge of this Taichang Temple.

The position of the Taichang official is among the six ministries, in charge of the royal sacrifice celebrations, etc., and can be regarded as a member of the court.

Tai Changqing walked into the house, looked at Qiu Shen Liyue and shook his head with a smile: "I heard the two of you arguing across the courtyard, what kind of decent." ”

Liyue stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak.

"Alright, you go down first. ”

Tai Changqing waved his hand, sent the two out of the study, waited for no one around, and looked at Wu Ming with a smile: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"

Wu Ming hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Wu Ming greets Lord Taichangqing." ”

Tai Changqing smiled and waved his hand: "You are not a person in the court, you don't need to call the official position when you talk in private, the old man has been practicing in the Dao Gate since he was a child, and the name of the world has long been forgotten, you can call me the Tao name, Zong Yun." ”

(Zong Yun, your trick is finally here.) ）
