Tang Qi Tan

So the next day, Jiang Tian was able to justifiably appear in the mansion of Pei's Mansion in Daozhengfang, accepting the hospitality of offering tea and fruits.But in a sense, Jiang Tian is not unfamiliar with this place, it's just that it's the first time that Zheng's door-to-door visit.

Therefore, as a related benefactor of the Pei family, he was welcomed in from the side door on the right.According to the etiquette system of the imperial court, the secretary of the vassal who is relatively independent from the vassal court of the outer dynasty is regarded as a third-rank official; therefore, he is not only qualified to stand in front of the gate, but also has a special gate of ceremonies.

Among them, the open door can only be opened after accepting the royal decree; it is usually called the door of gratitude or the door of thanks.Therefore, the left and right side doors are for daily use.For example, when a prominent high-ranking official or a very famous distinguished guest comes, they will open the side door with the respect of the left to greet them.

The door on the right is the place where the main family members of the mansion come and go on a daily basis.As for slaves, servants, family generals, doormen and guests, the entry and exit required for life can only be through the side door and the back door.Therefore, it was an obvious attitude that Jiang Tian was introduced into the right door.

But what follows is much more than that.Jiang Tian was not arranged in the large flower hall in the vestibule specially used to entertain guests, nor did he enter the Shuipan Banquet Hall in the main house; instead, he walked through the hall and courtyard under a lot of side-eyes, and was brought to the inner house/back garden for the former head of the family. Inside the "Suishou Hall" for the elderly.

This was a bit more grand than Jiang Tian expected.Although it is not as solemn as taking it directly to the family temple in Prince Pu's mansion, almost all the main members of Pei's mansion are gathered here; even the concubines of Pei's old patriarch, who still have charm, are all dressed up and called out to see the ceremony.

Compared with Jiang Tian, ​​a guest who came to the door for the first time (not counting the few times he came in at night), the so-called entry into the hall and the highest courtesy of meeting the elders is nothing more than that.However, as a sister (Hui Xiang) who really has an intimate relationship, she only shows up briefly.

So Jiang Tian even suspected for a while, was this a (forced marriage) surprise prepared by the woman's parents?But after meeting the members of this big family, the old Patriarch Pei did not hesitate to send out the others, including the eldest son Pei Wuben, on the grounds that he was tired.

Then, this old gentleman with white beard and hair, but who looked clear and resolute, kept Jiang Tian specially.When there was no one around, he smiled and said: "To be honest, Hui Xiang has been very assertive and insightful since she was a child. Sometimes even I may not be able to beat her."

"It's just that she sacrificed for her family and entrusted no one to others, so she no longer trusts others easily; but once she believes in something, she is determined and will never be shaken." Then he waved his hand to Jiang Tian again: "I naturally believe her. People's eyes, and I'm happy to see everything between you two."

"Naturally, I also believe that Jiang Sheng is capable of protecting and caring for her, and I am willing to treat her well." After laying the groundwork, the old Patriarch Pei finally got straight to the point: "But from the standpoint of loving my daughter , can Jiang Sheng answer some of the old man's questions."

"...Pei Gong, please let me know." At this moment, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the real drama.However, this is something that will happen sooner or later or requires a showdown; Jiang Tian has already made psychological construction and (fool) rhetorical preparations for this. …

"The old man once heard Ajiu and Huixiang vaguely mention that Jiang Sheng has some extraordinary means and abilities." Hearing the words, the old Patriarch Pei hesitated before saying: "Please forgive me for being careless, Jiang Sheng is not as good as the ancients. Do the rumored family members of the Immortal Family have any origins and connections?"

"In fact, there is no need to hide anything, as long as Mr. Pei can keep his mouth shut." Jiang Tian smiled and said: "I am not a person in this world, but by chance, I was attracted by some kind of cause and effect not long ago. And to. So I naturally have some things that must be done.”

"As for the rumors of those ancient sages and sages, they are actually not so miraculous; they are just some people who just happened to have great power in the chaos." Jiang Tian continued to explain: "It's just that after being passed down through later generations, Correspondingly, exaggeration and fallacies are inevitable.”

"As for my relationship with them, I can't talk about the origins. Because, after the shackles of the ancient world gradually formed and the spiritual energy dried up, I will part ways with this generation; some people try to save themselves with humanity, and some people hibernate Mountains and rivers, there are still people who transcend this world."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors opened up the rule of three generations of humanity." Jiang Tian thought for a while and said: "Later, Zulong managed to connect the heavens and the earth, so it was inevitable that he would suffer backlash. .But since then, the great prosperity of humanity has been irreversible."

"In the rise and fall of chaos since then, it has become more and more difficult for gods and demons to show their holiness and intervene in the mundane. Although there are occasional repetitions and anomalies, as long as there is peace and prosperity, they will be greatly promoted by humanity. Let's re-suppress your strength."

"It turns out that Jiang Sheng's presence in this world is due to the current situation of changes in the world?" The old Patriarch Pei couldn't help but breathed out with shock and excitement when he heard the words: "But I don't know that like Jiang Sheng, he is able to survive today. How many will come to the world again?"

"It's really hard to say." Jiang Tian smiled more and more unpredictable: "After all, like me, I have thrown a true spirit from outside the sky, and I am the only one for the time being; but the inheritance of ancient blood and Taoism, and even a little It is still possible to awaken the spiritual reincarnation of the incomplete soul body."

"However, following the awakening and the present world, there are not only those ancient inheritances, but also the resurgence of ghosts and monsters." Jiang Tian also paused when he said this: "So I came to this world, not for the purpose of passing on the eternal life and long-term vision." It is not the law, but the method of killing and clearing the world."

"It's just that, currently, I'm still limited by the shackles of heaven and earth, and I can only use a little of my own power; but in the future, if the corresponding restrictions are loosened, and more and more invisible auras are scattered all over the world. The court will have to face Yes, it’s not just a plague of beasts and ghosts.”

"Since this is the case, someone asked the old man to ask again, how much did Jiang Sheng know about the 'Night Touring God'?" After hearing these words, the old Patriarch Pei took a deep breath and said: "What do you think of this person's actions..."

This is also the second time someone has asked about the potential relationship between Jiang Tian and Ye Youshen.However, the last time it was in the Xuanzheng Hall in Beinei (Daming Palace), the "His Royal Highness Supervisor" who was suspected of being a substitute made an inquiry on behalf of the Tian family's position; but this time it was obviously an inquiry from another background in the Outer Court. …

"Maybe it's just a few face-to-face meetings unintentionally." Jiang Tian said half-truthfully: After all, he couldn't deny that when he was acting in the ghost market, the night tour god appeared in public. "Maybe he knows a little about my background, but I don't necessarily know his identity behind the mask."

"As for what he did, it is natural to disapprove from public and private standpoints;" Jiang Tian pretended to be thoughtful and continued: "But unless I meet him personally and block my way, I won't deliberately Deal with him. Because the price is too high, and it will affect the innocent and even cause nothing."

"How do you say that?" Old Patriarch Pei couldn't help but pleaded: "Could it be that your mutual supernatural powers and means, under the entanglement, will cause great harm?"

"Probably so!" Jiang Tian was amused when he heard the words, so he figured it out; but he said calmly: "What's more, I suspect that he, like me, has a different mission in this world; so, if I wouldn't do it lightly if it wasn't a last resort."

"Because within three or five hundred steps, with my current ability, I may be able to beat him or temporarily suppress him, but it can't stop him from leaving. But beyond three or five hundred steps, it is obvious that his The means are even more advantageous, and it will be difficult to get out of the whole body once there is an outbreak of trouble."

"So, Mr. Pei, listen to me." Jiang Tian said to him solemnly again: "Don't confront him in a densely populated city! Otherwise, even if thousands of troops are gathered , it may not be able to trap him, but the price will be extremely tragic."

After finally saying goodbye to Pei's mansion, Jiang Tian also felt some faint changes.It's like a distinguished guest who just came to visit, suddenly became an indirect sense of his own family; and in the various salutations, there is a little more cordial, ambiguous and inexplicable attitude.

Of course, Jiang Tian also slowly reflected on the details of this meeting; especially the last questions of Pei Gong, the indirect position and background represented are already clear.And Jiang Tian can create a paradox of fighting between left and right, which is exactly what the forces behind these people listen to.

No matter how much they believed, or whether they believed it or not; but in the context of His Royal Highness being attacked, they were somewhat afraid; Jiang Tian's goal was achieved.Just like those pastoral boxing masters of later generations, as long as they put aside the facts and just rely on small online essays to create momentum, they are confident that no one can beat themselves in terms of online exposure and public opinion.

What's more, the further deepening of the relationship with the Pei Mansion is not a strategy to reassure those in power.A person who is in the system but basically has no desires or desires, but has enough power, will easily cause the superiors to do everything possible to try and calculate.

Jiang Tian rode a robe and dew purple while thinking, while looking at the different styles in the market; along the longitudinal Jingyaomen Street, when he arrived at Deguangfang where Jingzhao Mansion is located, he was stopped by someone in the street .He couldn't help but take a closer look, but it was Zhao Shicao who survived the Battle of Baoxie Valley.

It's just that he is now "entrusted with a heavy responsibility" by the Jingzhao Mansion, and has become an ad hoc representative dispatched to the Lixingyuan/Xijing Branch to coordinate and contact corresponding matters.Seeing Zhao Shicao, who was sweating all over his head while riding a donkey, he said in a low voice: "A Si has arrived in Jingji, please ask the supervisor to check it."
