Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 173.
Climbing Yunshan.

Hongying walked quickly, walked along the steps into the backyard of a spacious courtyard, and came to Sun Jingchan who was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance:
"Miss, news has just been sent from the north gate. Ji Xueyou has already left... She is riding in the carriage of Daoist Priest Shouchu."

"..."

Sun Jingchan wrinkled her head and looked at Hongying:

"The priest knows her?"

"Probably not."

Hongying shook her head:

"Someone came to report that the chief started to wink at the checkpoint, reminding us that there is someone in his carriage. I think he was threatened."

"Is the Taoist priest safe?"

"It should be fine. The Xueyou Ji is seriously injured, and the Taoist leader is not weak. Even if she really manages it, she will be afraid of the other party. What's more... I also made it clear this afternoon, she is naturally not a fool."

"call……"

Sun Jingchan let out a long sigh of relief and nodded:

"That's good. But let our people pay attention...forget it."

After a pause, she shook her head slightly:
"The Taoist priest should be fine, and now is not the time to pay attention to these things. What about the disciples who are performing missions outside?"

Hearing this, Hongying glanced vaguely at this elegantly decorated room, and said in a low voice:

"Everyone has expanded the search area to a radius of hundreds of miles. But there is still nothing...It seems that there is little hope. The most important thing is that we don't even know what to look for."

"..."

Sun Jingchan was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"Let's go, go to Tayun Pavilion."

"Yes."

The master and servant left as soon as they said they would, and then, Sun Jingchan asked:
"Has all the pigeons flown out?"

"All of them have been released, and I have told the commercial companies in the major cities that all those who perform the task must return to the city within half a month."

"Ah."

Now, Sun Jingchan was completely relieved.

But the worry on the eyebrows didn't seem to be relieved in the slightest.

Rain is coming.

All the way to Tayun Pavilion, there are already several old men waiting in the pavilion.

It's just that he didn't see Sun Cong's figure.

After Sun Jingchan walked in, she pointed directly at the seat under the relief sculpture of thousands of galloping horses.

Step by step, she came to the bottom of the high platform, and then she turned around and said:

"Daddy went to the ranch last night. The second child was supposed to take care of the sect's affairs, but he is not feeling well today, so if you have anything to do, please tell me first."

After explaining the reason, she looked around the crowd and continued to speak:
"I also know that everyone in charge has doubts in their hearts, so I will tell everyone first: Yes, Baili Liaoyuan Zhuhuai has indeed left the customs. According to the news from yesterday, the direction he is heading all the way is Pegasus City."

In an instant, the faces of these old men changed.

Seeing their expressions, Sun Jingchan's voice was calm:

"It's just whether it's a friend or an enemy, so you don't have to speculate on your own. Zhu Huai is here, and naturally there will be a grandfather to entertain him, so you don't need to worry. However, I do have a request from you today. First of all, the food and grass in this city ..."

Sun Jingchan's calm voice sounded in Tayun Pavilion.

It is no longer the previous appearance of not asking about common things and focusing on practicing calligraphy.

……

Yuzhong, Liyang.

Liyang is the important place of Wagang.After winning the "Yongji Canal" from Liang (Kaifeng) to Liyang last year and seizing a large amount of military supplies, the most important link of the entire north-south canal fell into the hands of Wagangzhai.

Now that Wagang has blocked the North-South Canal, it is equivalent to separating the north-south trade, forcing some materials to be transported by land.

The speed of land transportation is slow and the load is light. In addition, central Henan has been an important transportation area and a large grain production area since ancient times. Under the changing situation, Wagang became stronger and stronger, and it still became a serious problem for the imperial court.

into the night.

The last ray of sunlight in the sky disappeared.

Darkness returns.

Inside Li Yang Chengshou's mansion, a blue-gray pigeon flapped its wings and landed in a basin sprinkled with beans, rice, grains and water.

"Cuckoo~"

After the pigeon fell into the trough, it blew twice, and then began to peck at the food.

The ingredients looked very fine, not to mention all the grains, and there was even a pinch of salt in a small cup.

And if some knowledgeable people see this pigeon, they have to boast:
"Good seed!"

The head of this pigeon is blue, extending from the head to the tail, and the blue color gradually turns into black and gray.Natural gradient, looks very soft color.

Like ink rings, nested layer upon layer.

Only the tail has two white feather patches on the whole body, the whole body is round, revealing a sense of lightness everywhere.

Long neck, golden eyes.

The wings are still born with iridescent gold patterns, golden red like blood.

This pigeon has a name, called "Blue Ring Golden Eye Pigeon".

Best at flying high.

It is said that Lu Ban was inspired by this object when he studied the wooden bird that flies day and night.

After this kind of pigeon is full of food and water, it can fly continuously for two days and nights.Travel through the world and soar through Kyushu.

This thing is most suitable for flying birds that can pass on letters.

The message is delivered quickly and in a short time.

Flying high is not easy to catch.

It belongs to the most effective remote communication method in this era.

At this moment, while the pigeon was cooing and pecking at the water rice, a hand reached out and grabbed the blue-ringed golden-eyed pigeon.

The pigeon didn't resist, let it be held by the hand, took the bamboo tube from its own leg, and then let it go free.

Then, in just a cup of tea, the bamboo tube was delivered to a burly man.

"Wei Gong, there is a letter to submit."

Standing in front of the man, the soldier said respectfully.

The man was tall and burly, and he was wearing a big purple scribe's clothes at the moment, looking extravagant and extravagant.

The beard is continuous, not heavy, and the appearance looks calm and majestic.

The eyebrows are like two knives that touch the sky, and the eagle soars in flight, and underneath is a pair of lightning-like eyes.

And he is Zhai Rang's confidant in Wagang Village, Wei Gong and Li Mi.

At this moment, Li Mi took over the bamboo tube sent by the soldiers. He looked at the secret seal sealed on the bamboo tube, waved to the soldiers to back off, and said directly to the person sitting opposite him:

"Bodang has sent back the news. It seems that this matter has come to an end. The Taoist priest is afraid that he will lose."

Hearing this, the person on the opposite side put down his teacup and let out a chuckle:
"Ha. Duke Wei is confident."

The appearance of this person should be older than Li Mi, but probably not much older.

Wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, his face has no characteristics.

If anything, the most impressive thing on his face might be the pair of eyes.

Looking at his eyes, there seems to be clouds and mist in them.

Can't see through.

And after saying this, the Taoist stretched out his hand:

"Whether he wins or loses, Duke Wei can tell at a glance."

Li Mi nodded, unscrewed the bamboo tube, and unfolded the letterhead.

Originally, his expression was quite normal, but when he read a letter, his expression also sank.

Although it was still calm, there was a chill from the inside out.

At this time, the Taoist laughed lightly, and left a sentence that seemed to have a deep meaning:

"There are some things in this world, after all, people are not as good as heaven, right?"

After speaking, get up and leave.

Ignoring Li Mi's chilly gaze, he turned into a phantom as soon as he walked out the door and disappeared under the moonlight.
