Volume 1 Imperial Capital Fu Chapter 34 Gentle Tigress
The entry of the Western Liang delegation into Beijing was a major event for the Great Qian Dynasty.
Daqian is the victorious side, so he doesn't really pay much attention to whether he talks about it or not. Xiliang wants to fight, then the battle, the final victory of the side is also the Great Qian Dynasty; but now the Western Liang wants to negotiate peace, in the words of the Great Qian Holy Emperor, there is peace, less Xiliang, the soldiers are idle and panicked, this is not a good thing, there is the existence of the West Liang, so that the soldiers can always be vigilant, which will help to enhance the spirit of the soldiers.
Although the Daqian Dynasty did not take much fancy it to discuss peace or not, but the Xiliang delegation came to the capital of the Daqian Emperor, which was a big event, and the Daqian wanted to show the strong side of the Xiliang, so the etiquette still had to arrive, and what should be done still had to be done.
Yan Shiyi asked Mei Qingqiu if it was true that Cao Ziyuan said that the president of the Sixth Academy must attend the peace meeting.
"Of course. Mei Qingqiu nodded with a smile, and said with some unfinished feelings, "Why did you encounter any good things?
Yan Shiyi had a headache, he didn't know anything about such a big scene, and he didn't know what details should be paid attention to.
Mei Qingqiu smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. If you don't want to be in the limelight, when you get to that occasion, just bow your head and drink, and make sure that no one pays attention to you!"
Yan Shi heard them one by one and said happily: "Is there really such a good thing?"
Mei Qingqiu nodded and said, "Of course, on such a big occasion, whoever has time to care about you as a young man, at most you will go over and make up a number!"
Yan Shiyi ignored Mei Qingqiu's words and looked down on him, and said with a smile: "That's the best!"
"Huh! no!" Mei Qingqiu suddenly shook her head and said.
Yan Shiyi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mei Qingqiu said: "According to the habit of the Holy Emperor, there will definitely be a competition between the Great Cadres and the masters from Xiliang, and you have recently been in the limelight in Kyoto, and the Holy Emperor is the first time to see you, I think he will definitely push you out to fight with the masters of Xiliang." Don't be disgraced!"
Yan Shiyi didn't have much confidence in his cultivation, but he still had confidence in Haoran Sword, and said with a smile: "Haha, at most, it's a loss to the master of Xiliang, those are not a big deal!"
Mei Qingqiu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you will lose face, and the Holy Emperor will not be able to spare you." β
Yan Shi shook his head: "At the end of the month, I will leave the imperial capital, and the remaining days of staying in the imperial capital will only be more than ten days, and the Holy Emperor will really pursue it, so I will talk to Old Man Mo and the Pope to leave the imperial capital a few days in advance, and when the time comes, the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and the Holy Emperor will have the heart to condemn me, and I will not find anyone!"
Mei Qingqiu could only smile bitterly, according to his understanding of the young man's temperament, if the Holy Emperor really forced him to be anxious, he would indeed do this kind of thing.
Yan Shiyi didn't care much about whether the Holy Emperor would arrange for him to compete with the master from Xiliang, although his realm was not high, but with the Haoran Sword in his hand, he still had some confidence, not to mention, he just took the opportunity to fight against the master, and strive to let the seal on the surface of the Haoran Sword be peeled off.
Yan Shiyi still asked which of the Xiliang masters who came to the imperial capital this time.
Mei Qingqiu directly handed him a dossier and said, "Even if you don't ask, I will give you this thing too." This is what the Pope secretly instructed me to put into your hands yesterday when he took over the throne. β
Since it was something that the Pope asked him to teach him, he must have a deep meaning, Yan Shiyi solemnly opened the file, but it was the list of the Xiliang Mission, with a total of twelve names on it, and after each name, there would be annotations to note the identities of these people. There are three names on the bottom with a cinnabar pen to draw a red line, and these three people have the most notes and ink.
Han Qianlong, Dutong, from a product, the outstanding figure of the nine-stream thirteen soldiers, belongs to the first line of the soldier saint, cultivated, the sword cultivation of the Divine Infant Realm, known as the title of killing the god, and the great general Sun Hanbo, and called the king of the East and West soldiers, this person is the first monk in the history of Xiliang who has the hope of stepping into the upper five realms, followed by a long description of the most famous battles of the Han Qianlong.
Wen Lingyun, the prince and the prince, from the first product, belong to the same military family as Han Qianlong, belong to the military family Yasheng, cultivate as a god, and transform into a god realm qi refiner. is the same as Han Qianlong's, and there is also a long paragraph describing Wen Lingyun's specific deeds.
Li Zhenzhou, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Erpin, the figure of the Yin and Yang family in the nine-stream thirteen families, cultivated, turned into a god realm qi refiner, majored in runes, and some people say that Li Zhenzhou is already a god infant realm qi refiner. There are relatively few descriptions of Li Zhenzhou's deeds compared to the previous two.
At the end of the dossier, there is a small paragraph, asking Yan Shiyi to find an opportunity to have more contact with Han Qianlong, the best thing is to be able to fight with Han Qianlong at the peace ceremony, and finally use a cinnabar pen to tell him that he must bring the Haoran Sword.
Yan Shiyi didn't know why the Pope handed over this dossier to himself, judging from this dossier, the Xuanqian Palace must have spent a lot of thought in it, because the twelve people on the dossier are all ministers of Xiliang, different Daqian, the ministers of Daqian's side, Xuanqiangong will be relatively simple to investigate, but the civil ministers and military generals in foreign countries are different, and the roots of the twelve people in this dossier are described very clearly, and even the weaknesses of the other party are described.
The few words that the Pope wrote at the end about the Han Hidden Dragon, Yan Shiyi couldn't understand why he had to fight against the Cold Hidden Dragon, and he had to bring the Haoran Sword. Could it be that the Pope intends to use the cultivation of the Cold Hidden Dragon to break the seal of the Haoran Sword.
Yan Shi frowned, didn't the Pope have thought about the cultivation of the Cold Hidden Dragon, the sword cultivation of the Divine Infant Realm, for the current self, he is an immortal on the top of the mountain, as long as the other party is willing, maybe a single look can kill him invisibly.
"Dean Mei!" Yan Shiyi exclaimed, "does the Pope have any other orders?"
Although Mei Qingqiu has resigned from the position of the dean of Haoran Academy, he has not officially served in Xuanqian Palace, so Yan Shiyi still habitually calls him Dean Mei.
Mei Qingqiu smiled: "I have also read the dossier, you don't have to worry about Han Qianlong?"
"Why?" Yan Shiyi understood that Mei Qingqiu must know something inside.
Mei Qingqiu suddenly said to Yan Shiyi in her heart: "When Han Qianlong was a young man, he was just a boy who served tea and water to the Soldier Saint, and he never received the favor of the Soldier Saint, and the reason why I have today's achievements is actually largely due to the help of the Haoran Sword Spirit. β
Yan Shiyi was about to ask Han Qianlong about the relationship between the Hidden Dragon and the Haoran Sword Spirit.
Mei Qingqiu said in his heart: "I don't know very well the relationship between the Han Qianlong and the Haoran Sword Spirit, but I heard the Pope say that there is this relationship in it, as for the details, when you have the opportunity to meet the Pope, or the Han Qianlong himself, you will ask them carefully!"
When Yan Shi saw Mei Qingqiu say this, he could only give up, read the file again, and after making sure that he remembered it completely, he would return the file to Mei Qingqiu.
Mei Qingqiu didn't plan to take it over, but after thinking about it, Yan Shiyi's current cultivation was unknown to others, but he knew it, plus all the forces in Kyoto were eyeing Yan Shiyi, for fear that if he was not careful, this file would be taken away by others, so he took it, but in his heart he was complaining that the Pope was really doing too much, anyway, Yan Shiyi had to go to Xuanqian Palace today, why didn't he make these things clear to him in person.
Mei Qingqiu didn't know that because of her own worries, she ruined the Pope's plan.
"By the way, pick one, you have to go to Xuanqian Palace today. You haven't forgotten!" Mei Qingqiu was really afraid that if she didn't remind her, this kid would forget everything.
Yan Shi felt that his head was big for a while, when this bird dean, he couldn't tell the trouble, he even had to go to Xuanqian Palace, and he had to register on the roster of Xuanqian Palace himself. It's just that this is what the previous deans must do, and they can't hide if they want to.
"I remember, if I hadn't remembered the matter of the Xiliang Division, I would have been in the Xuanqian Palace by now!"
After Yan Shiyi and Mei Qingqiu retired, he called Wang Taiping to go with him, Wang Taiping, this kid is familiar with Xuanqian Palace, and with him, he can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Walking on the long street of the imperial capital, Yan Shiyi felt that the atmosphere of the imperial capital today was very different.
The streets were full of Imperial Guards, pulling passers-by to ask questions from time to time.
A man who looked like a chief spotted Yan Shi and the two and quickly walked towards them.
Yan Shiyi was surprised that Wang Taiping had already smiled at the person who came, but it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Brother Meng, what's going on, you need to personally lead the team?" asked the man from Wang Taipingchao.
This person is the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, Meng Liutian, who is Wang Taiping's protΓ©gΓ© of his Laozi, and Wang Taiping studied it carefully, and some of the names of senior brothers are in it.
Meng Liutian saw that it was Wang Taiping, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Wang!"
Wang Taiping asked, "Brother Meng, is there something going on in the palace?"
Meng Liutian shook his head and said, "Nothing happened in the palace, it's just that the princess of the Lu Palace's mansion is missing." β
Wang Taiping was surprised: "You mean the tigress is gone?"
Meng Liutian said worriedly: "Exactly! If you don't disappear sooner or later, you just disappeared at this juncture, if you don't say that Lu Wangfu did it deliberately, I don't believe it." β
Wang Taiping said softly: "Brother Meng, be careful when you speak, it's okay for this to come out of someone else's mouth, you can't talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of King Lu, you are only afraid of a lawsuit." β
Meng Liutian shook his head and said: "At this time, what is there to be afraid of, if you can't find that tigress, you will not be punished!"
Yan Shi couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so he pushed Wang Taiping.
Wang Taiping came back to his senses and introduced to Yan Shiyi: "Shiyi, this is the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the imperial capital, Meng Liutian, is my father's eldest apprentice, and he can be regarded as my senior brother. β
Yan Shiyi bowed his hand.
Meng Liutian had never seen Yan Shiyi before, thinking that he was just like Wang Taiping, that is, a student of Haoran Academy, out of politeness, he still asked, "Taiping, who is this son?"
Wang Taiping pointed at Yan Shiyi and said with a smile: "He, he is famous, he is Yan Shiyi, who has recently been in the limelight in Kyoto." β
"Ah!" Meng Liutian exclaimed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "It turned out to be Dean Yan!"
Originally, Han Fei was the first tyrant of the capital, and he often brought those of his minions to make waves in the capital, and he had the support of the Cao Mansion behind them, and these Imperial Forest Army dared to be angry and dare not speak out about what they did. Han Fei's people have also stopped a lot recently, which is entirely due to Yan Shiyi, if he hadn't beaten Han Fei in the Sixth Academy competition, it would be impossible for Kyoto to have a period of peace.
Yan Shiyi didn't know this, and when he saw that Meng Liutian was very enthusiastic about himself, he thought it was because of Wang Taiping's relationship.
Meng Liutian said: "I don't know Dean Yan, where are you going, do you need me to arrange a carriage to send you off?"
Yan Shiyi smiled and said: "No need, we just have to go to Xuanqian Palace, it's not too far from here, just a few more steps to get there, thank you for the kindness of Commander Meng." β
Meng Liutian saw that he was unfamiliar with him, and hurriedly said: "Dean Yan, I am a few years older than you, if you don't dislike me Gao Pan, just learn from Taiping, just call me Brother Meng." β
Yan Shiyi said, "Brother Meng!"
Meng Liutian said with a smile: "Brother Yan, there are some things that I shouldn't have told you, but since we met, it was fate, not to mention your brother Meng, I also have to express something, there are some things I have to tell you, and let you be prepared." β
As soon as Yan Shi saw that he had something to say, he smiled and asked, "I don't know what Brother Meng wants to say?"
Meng Liutian glanced at the long street and saw that the other Imperial Forest Army was far away, so he said in a low voice: "Cao Ziyuan and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu went to the palace overnight last night and told the Holy Emperor something related to you?"
Yan Shiyi didn't speak, just looked at him.
Meng Liutian lowered his voice and said, "There will be a competition between my Daqian and the Xiliang people at the peace ceremony. β
Yan Shi nodded and said, "I know this!"
Meng Liutian was a little surprised, how come you even know about this? You must know that in the past, not every peace ceremony would have a competition between the two countries, it all depended on the mood of the Holy Emperor.
Meng Liutian didn't ask much, just said: "Cao Ziyuan and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu recommended you to the Holy Emperor as a candidate to participate in this competition, although I don't know who will participate in this competition in Xiliang, but you must not be careless, this may be a trap set by Cao Ziyuan for you." β
Although Yan Shiyi had already known these things from Mei Qingqiu's mouth, he was still a little grateful to Meng Liutian, no matter what kind of intention the other party had to tell him this, he finally had a heart, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Meng." β
Meng Liutian said with a smile: "Since you still have to rush to Xuanqian Palace, then it is inconvenient for me to disturb you anymore." With that, he turned and left.
Yan Shiyi suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Meng, I don't know who Princess Lu Wang you are looking for is?"
Meng Liutian was a little strange that Yan Shiyi didn't even know about the famous Princess Lu, but thinking of Yan Shiyi's rumors, he remembered that he rarely stepped out of Haoran Academy, and it was understandable that he didn't know Princess Lu.
"Princess Lu Wang is one of the four beauties in the capital who are as famous as Li Muyao of your Haoran Academy, and she is the tigress among the four beasts in the capital. Meng Liutian said.
In fact, who are the four beauties in the capital, Yan Shiyi is also in the clouds, only knowing that there is a dominatrix Li Muyao among them, and as for what the names of the other three are, they don't know at all.
Yan Shiyi was interested in helping him and asked, "I don't know what this tigress looks like?"
Meng Liutian remembered Yan Shiyi's various identities, and when he heard that he meant that he wanted to help him find Princess Lu, he said happily: "I have her portrait here, and I will take it for you." After speaking, he took out a portrait and gave it to Yan Shiyi.
Yan Shiyi took the portrait and looked at it carefully, and said: "Okay, I wrote it down, if I have the whereabouts of Princess Lu, let Wang Taiping tell you the news." With that, he handed the portrait back to him.
Meng Liutian said gratefully: "Then I will thank you here first." β
After Meng Liutian left, Wang Taiping asked, "Shiyi, why do you want to take this matter into account?"
Yan Shi smiled and said: "The Imperial Forest Army can't find that tigress, as long as the tigress is still in Kyoto, I am confident that I can find it!"
Wang Taiping felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "How big is this Kyoto, maybe you can't tell clearly, you are so confident that you can find Wu Xiuying?"
Yan Shiyi said secretly: It turns out that the princess of Lu is called Wu Xiuying!
"Although I don't know why Princess Lu disappeared, since the Imperial Forest Army came out to look for it, it must have been obtained by the Holy Emperor's will, and since there is the Holy Emperor's will, is there any place in the entire Kyoto that the Royal Forest Army can't go?"
Wang Taiping suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said, "You mean Xuanqian Palace?"
If the tigress is still in Kyoto, then where else can she hide except for Xuanqian Palace!"
As soon as Yan Shi finished speaking, he ran away, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, I want to see what this tigress looks like!"
Xuanqian Palace seems to be busy all day long, and those deacons only care about doing things with their heads down, and they don't notice the arrival of Yan Shiyi and Wang Taiping at all.
Yan Shi felt strange early in the morning, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think there's a problem with this Xuanqian Palace's way of doing things?"
Wang Taiping asked, "What's the problem?"
Yan Shiyi said: "If outsiders come in, they don't lift their heads inside, so they are not afraid of mixing in some people who shouldn't come in?"
Wang Taiping laughed: "You just follow me to have such treatment, if you try to come in, how will they react?"
Yan Shiyi suddenly realized that this was the case, it seemed that he was right to bring Wang Taiping, this kid.
Wang Taiping drove through the corridor and passed through the courtyard with a light car, and took Yan Shiyi to complete all the formalities in less than half an hour.
It turned out that the deacon of the Xuanqian Palace had already been instructed by the Pope that if Yan Shi arrived, he would bring the young man over to meet him.
Wang Taiping was reluctant to leave, and wanted to follow Yan Shiyi to see the Pope, mainly to see if Yan Shiyi's guess was incorrect, and whether Wu Xiuying was really hiding in the Xuanqian Palace.
"It's coming!"
The Pope has his back to the door, gesturing with a pen on his desk.
Yan Shi didn't see anything, and walked straight over, but saw the Pope copying a talisman.
The Pope frowned, as if he had encountered some problem, put the pen on the pen holder for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "It's still a little bit of charm!"
Yan Shi smiled and said, "Lord Pope, where are the ghost talismans!"
Wang Taiping was dumbfounded, although he was very familiar with the Pope, he didn't dare to talk to the Pope like this, this kid is good, he doesn't see the outside at all!
How do you know that the Pope is not angry, and laughs: "Uh-huh!"
"Do you need me to give you some advice?"
The Pope didn't bother to talk to him, but said, "You can't do this, but there is something that will be useful to you!"
Yan Shiyi said: "Which of us is with whom, what is the matter with the Pope, although the order is, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not hesitate!"
The Pope waited for his words, and shouted towards the screen in the hall: "Come out!"
Yan Shiyi noticed that there was a person hiding behind the screen, and he was teasing the Pope just now, but he didn't notice it, and the figure should be a young woman.
Yan Shiyi guessed the identity of the woman, and said softly to Wang Taiping: "How is it?
Wang Taiping had the word "boss" written on his face and gave him a thumbs up.
The Pope pretended not to see the small movements of the two teenagers, and said to the woman over there: "This person is very tight, he is Yan Shiyi, who has been in the limelight recently, I can't help you with your affairs, you see if our Dean Yan and the rich man Yan have any way to help you." β
The woman followed suit and walked slowly.
Yan Shiyi's eyes lit up.
The woman was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a slender and beautiful figure, a light plum blossom makeup painted on her jade face, her eyebrows were like new willows, her eyes were like spring water, her bright red lips were slightly raised, and her smile was moving.
"Are you Wu Xiuying?" Yan Shiyi couldn't help but ask, but after asking, he felt a little abrupt.
The woman exclaimed, "How does Young Master Yan know my name?"
Yan Shiyi sighed: I didn't expect the voice to be so crisp and beautiful.
"I guess!" Yan Shiyi said.
Wu Xiuying didn't think about it so much, thinking that the Pope had told him in advance, and remembering the Pope's original words, he said softly: "Please help me Gongzi Yan!"
Yan Shiyi was still looking at the famous tigress in Kyoto, and when she heard that she had a request for herself, she hurriedly said: "Girl, it doesn't matter, as long as I Yan Shiyi can do it, I will never push back." β
Wu Xiuying said happily: "Can Young Master Yan send me out of Kyoto without knowing it?"
Yan Shi was surprised and said, "Why is this?"
Wang Taiping said suddenly: "But it's for the sake of harmony?"
Wu Xiuying instantly looked miserable, nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Yan Shiyi didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Wang Taiping, what's going on?"
Wang Taiping sighed: "After the Xiliang delegation signs the peace agreement this time, Wu Xiuying will be sent to Xiliang and his relatives. β
"Huh?" Yan Shi was shocked one by one, it turned out that the drama in this romance novel would really happen, "Are you unwilling to go to Xiliang and relatives?"
"Exactly!" Wu Xiuying said, "I already have a sweetheart, and I really can't go to Xiliang and kiss." β
Wang Taiping said: "But the one in the 100,000-mile wasteland?"
Wu Xiuying nodded with a red face and did not speak.
Which one is it? It seems that a lot of things have something to do with that person.
"Please Yan Gongzi help me!" Wu Xiuying saw that Yan Shiyi did not speak, and raised her voice to say it again.
Yan Shiyi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you stay here for this time, I will leave Kyoto soon, and I will be thinking of a way to take you with me when the time comes." β
When Wu Xiuying heard this, she immediately bowed down and thanked her.
Yan Shiyi just helped her in vain, but what he was thinking about was how to take her out of Kyoto, and it didn't seem to be a good deal to save other people's confidantes for no reason, and at that time, he should always ask the one in the 100,000-mile wasteland to get back some hard money.
Wang Taiping squeezed his eyebrows at him, and said in Yan Shiyi's ear in an inaudible voice: "Shiyi, you have to seize the opportunity, the building near the water will get the moon first, maybe you will be in the corner of the person's wall!"
Yan Shi panicked one by one, hurriedly looked at Wu Xiuying, and saw that she didn't realize anything, so she kicked Wang Taiping to the ground.
