Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 282 Yuan Tiangang!
Drunk Xianju.

Because of Wu Zhao's sudden arrival yesterday, the guests were so frightened that they ran away before Lu Yan finished his book.

As a result, not many guests dared to come to Zuixianju to listen to books in the next day.

Even Zhang Yuanwai, who has always been the most courageous, did not come.

This made Lu Yan a little depressed.

Fu Junyue looked at Lu Yan who was sitting on the high platform early and was preparing to tell a story, feeling a little helpless.

Being so scared by Wu Zhao yesterday, there was almost no business in the whole day.

It doesn't look like there will be any business today.

It is also very distressing to lose thousands of taels of silver in two days.

Xie Zhuoyan came from the backyard. She took a look at the situation in the lobby and said to Lu Yan, "Aren't there any guests today?"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "This is Wu Zhao's deterrent power. After all, he is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

While speaking, Lu Yan stood up.

Since there are no guests, it is better to go out for a walk.

Seeing Lu Yan walking towards the door, Xie Zhuoyan immediately followed and asked, "Are you going shopping? It just so happens that I want to buy two bolts of silk to make you a new suit."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Then go for a walk."

Speaking of which, except for the first day when they came to Shendu, the two of them hadn't wandered around in Shendu for a long time.

Since you have to take a day off, why not go out and take a good look.

After making a decision, Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan walked outside.

Fu Junyue looked at the figures of the two leaving, smiled slightly, and then lowered her head to settle the score.

At this time, the waiter who was cleaning the table came over and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, Wu Zhao intends to take advantage of Ssangyong's absence to raid Chang'an!"

Fu Junyue nodded lightly when she heard what Xiao Er said, "Send the news to Chang'an, keep it secret."

The waiter nodded, then turned and went out.

the other side.

Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan were walking on the street, and the two wandered together.

Xie Zhuoyan bought a lot of exquisite snacks, also bought two bolts of silk and satin, and also bought a hosta.

It didn't cost much, but it made Xie Zhuoyan feel very satisfied.

The two stopped and walked along the way, and before they knew it, they came to the sparsely populated north of the city.

Compared with the bustling east and west of the city, the north of the city is relatively deserted because it is a civilian area.

During the day, almost everyone is outside to make a living, and not many people are at home.

On the contrary, there are some children playing around in the street, their innocent looks are very beautiful.

Lu Yan looked around, as if looking for something.

Xie Zhuoyan also followed behind Lu Yan, looking around curiously.

Lu Yan suddenly raised his foot and walked towards the children who were playing by the side of the road.

He took out a bag of candy from his pocket and said to the child, "My little friend, answer me a question, and I will give this bag of candy to you."

The children who were playing looked at the whole bag of candies in Lu Yan's hands, they couldn't move their eyes from greedy, and swallowed wildly.

In the past, they only had candies during the New Year and festivals, and they were only one or two at most.

Never seen so much sugar.

"Big brother, what do you want to ask?"

The oldest child stepped forward, glanced at Lu Yan, and then his eyes fell on the candy in Lu Yan's hand.

Lu Yan asked with a smile, "Have you ever seen an old man around here? He has gray hair and is wearing a gray cloak. He looks very down and out."

The children raised their hands one after another.

"I know!"

"I know where he is!"

Lu Yan opened the candy in his hand, distributed it equally among the children in front of him, and asked, "Where is he?"

The oldest child pointed to the northeast corner and said, "There's the biggest yard over there, and he's right there."

Lu Yan looked towards the northeast corner and said to Xie Zhuoyan, "Let's go."

Xie Zhuoyan followed behind Lu Yan and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Yan shook his head and replied, "I don't know who he is, but I always feel that I should know who he is."

While talking, Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan had already reached the northeast corner.

They saw the huge yard that the kids said.

The courtyard looked a little old, and the wall coverings had peeled off in large pieces.

The ivy spread on the wall, adding a third of coldness and tranquility to the courtyard.

Even in hot weather, it makes people feel the refreshing coolness.

The two circled around the yard for half a circle and came to a half-open wooden door.

The vermilion paint on the wooden door has peeled off, exposing the original wood color, decayed and moldy, exuding a heavy breath of time.

On the wooden door, there is a plaque with illegible writing.

Lu Yan read carefully for a long time, and finally recognized the writing on it.

"Huntian Overwatch Council."

Lu Yan murmured in a low voice, and walked towards the half-open door.

After entering the door, what appeared in front of Lu Yan was a square courtyard.

The ground of the yard is paved with bluestones. In some places, the bluestones have been broken, and weeds grow tenaciously from them, which looks a bit desolate.

A wicker chair placed in a corner of the yard looks very special.

Perhaps because of frequent use, this wicker chair is the only one in the yard that gives people a clean feeling.

After looking at the environment of the courtyard, Lu Yan stepped into the courtyard and looked at a small three-story building opposite.

The small building is not quiet, he can clearly hear the sound of footsteps in the small building from time to time.

In addition to this, there is a softer sound of flipping books.

Xie Zhuoyan walked behind Lu Yan and asked in a low voice, "This place seems to be used to observe the sky."

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "At least one tall building is required to observe the sky. Look here, where is there a tall building convenient for observing the sky?"

"If you ask me, this courtyard must have been built later, and the plaque was probably taken from another place and hung here."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xie Zhuoyan thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lu Yan said made sense.

Observing the sky must be as high as possible. The tallest place in this place is just the three-story building, which is not suitable for observing the sky.

Of course, what they're talking about is aimed at ordinary people.

If you are a person at the level of supervision, then you don't necessarily need any high points.

While Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan were talking in a low voice, a white-haired figure slowly came out of the small building.

His face was wrinkled, he was wearing a worn gray cloak, and his body was bent, as if he was dying and dying.

But when seeing his eyes that seem to contain the entire starry sky, anyone will know that he is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

The old man saw Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan standing in the yard.

He didn't show any surprise. He chuckled and said, "Please sit down, both of you."

Xie Zhuoyan looked around after hearing the words, not to mention chairs, there was not even a larger stone here.

Lu Yan glanced at Xie Zhuoyan and said, "Just sit on the floor."

Xie Zhuoyan nodded.

Both of them are sons and daughters of the world, so they don't pay much attention to it.

After Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan sat down on the ground, the old man also sat down on the recliner.

Lu Yan looked at the old man and asked, "What do you call the old man?"

The old man chuckled, and replied: "What a bad old man, I forgot my name a long time ago."

Lu Yan laughed and said, "There must be a title."

The old man seemed to be lost in memory, and after a long time he said: "Then call me Yuan Tiangang."

Yuan Tiangang!
Hearing this name, Lu Yan was not surprised.

Because he had already guessed that the old man in front of him must be Yuan Tiangang, or Li Chunfeng.

Lu Yan looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked, "Why do seniors live here in seclusion?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and replied: "If you lived in seclusion, how did you find this place?"

Lu Yan replied: "I don't know why, it's like some kind of guidance brought me here."

Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, "Is there any other guidance in the dark?"

Lu Yan shook his head.

He came here because of a strange feeling.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang now, that weird feeling is gone.

"Don't Wu Zhao know that senior is here?"

Lu Yan suddenly asked curiously.

With the strength of Wu Zhao's control over God's Capital, he should know about this courtyard.

Wu Zhao should have known that Yuan Tiangang lived here for a long time.

But it felt strange for Wu Zhao to let Yuan Tiangang stay here.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "If the Emperor of the Great Zhou knew that the old man is here, then this place would have been uneven."

Lu Yan was a little surprised.

He thought Wu Zhao ignored Yuan Tiangang's existence for some reason.

But he didn't expect Wu Zhao to be totally ignorant of Yuan Tiangang's existence!
How is this going?

Involuntarily, Lu Yan thought of Yuan Tiangang's identity.

Datang Huntian Supervisory Court supervisor.

Metaphysician, astronomer, mathematician.

With Yuan Tiangang's ability, if he wants to deceive the secrets, it should be a very simple matter.

Yuan Tiangang seemed to have guessed what Lu Yan was thinking, and said with a smile: "The old man has indeed deceived the secret, but now that you have found this place, the secret has been leaked."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the Emperor of the Great Zhou will know what's going on here."

As he said that, Yuan Tiangang looked around.

He has lived here for decades, and he is really reluctant to leave.

Lu Yan looked at the reluctance on Yuan Tiangang's face, his heart moved, and he asked, "Senior is leaving?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed time to leave."

Lu Yan asked curiously, "Where do you plan to go next, senior?"

Yuan Tiangang replied: "Chang'an."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's answer, the expression on Lu Yan's face suddenly became extremely subtle.

Did Yuan Tiangang go to Chang'an for Li Fan?

If Emperor Tang could get the help of Yuan Tiangang and Shuanglong, even if Wu Zhao had three heads and six arms, he would have to be defeated!

Yuan Tiangang looked at the change of expression on Lu Yan's face and asked, "Do you think Ssangyong will help Datang?"

Lu Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "Don't they plan to help Datang?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded lightly and said: "Shuanglong was able to give up fighting for the world and fulfill the Li family, which is already the best of humanity."

"Now that the Li family's children are not up to their expectations, and their luck and country have been usurped by the Emperor of Zhou, how can they have the nerve to ask Shuanglong for help?"

Lu Yan was a little puzzled, and asked inexplicably, "If that's the case, why did they go to Chang'an and meet Li Fan?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled faintly, and replied: "It's just reminiscing about the past."

Lu Yan asked again: "Senior, is he going to Chang'an to avoid Wu Zhao, or to assist Li Fan?"

Yuan Tiangang raised his finger to the direction of the gate and said, "Do you know why the old man hangs the plaque of the Huntian Overwatch Council here?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is it to reminisce about the past?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded and shook his head.

He felt something in his heart, turned his head to look east, and said, "It's getting late, the old man should go."

While speaking, Yuan Tiangang stood up and put the book in his hand into his sleeves.

Lu Yan saw Yuan Tiangang's actions, and also saw the half of Yuan Tiangang's book.

"Push Back Picture".

Yuan Tiangang looked at Lu Yan and said, "Little friend, those stories you told are very exciting. I want to know if Liu Xuande can help the Han family?"

Lu Yan smiled slightly, and replied, "If you are interested, senior, you might as well come to listen to the books often in the future."

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

Amidst the loud laughter, Yuan Tiangang walked towards the gate.

But within two or three steps, Yuan Tiangang's figure disappeared.

Lu Yan got up and walked to the door, and looked up at the top of the door.

The plaque of "Huntian Supervisory Court" that was originally hung on it also disappeared along with Yuan Tiangang.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan and said, "Senior, why did you hang the plaque here and now take it away?"

Before Yuan Tiangang nodded and shook his head, she couldn't guess what Yuan Tiangang wanted to express.

Lu Yan turned his head and looked at the driver of the Great Zhou Emperor who was coming this way, and then looked at the gate above the empty plaque.

"Reminiscing about the past is also reminding myself that one day I was a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be a minister of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of my life!"

Just as Lu Yan was talking to Xie Zhuoyan, Wu Zhao's car had already approached.

Wu Zhao, who was dressed in casual clothes, stepped out of the car.

Judging from her simple and plain attire, she should have arrived in a hurry, so she didn't have time to dress up.

Wu Zhao, with his plain face facing the sky, glanced at the yard in front of him, and then at Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan.

"Who is that old man?"

Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at Wu Zhao, and suddenly found that Wu Zhao, who didn't wear makeup, was not charming, but instead seemed to be a bit of a hibiscus.

"No comment."

Wu Zhao's expression darkened immediately, and he said, "In our bet, you said you would not interfere in this matter!"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "It's true that I didn't interfere in this matter. I only discovered this yard today."

Wu Zhao took a deep look at Lu Yan upon hearing this, and said nothing to Lu Yan.

She raised her hand and immediately a guard walked towards the yard.

Soon the guards turned the yard upside down, and found nothing except a room full of books that had been stored for an unknown number of years.

Wu Zhao frowned slightly as he looked at the few ancient books brought back by the guards.

Just judging from these ancient books, she couldn't guess the identity of the old man at all.

Involuntarily, she looked at Lu Yan again.

Lu Yan must know the identity of that old man!
Facing Wu Zhao's gaze, Lu Yan chuckled and said, "It's still the same sentence, I have no comment."

Wu Zhao didn't speak, but looked at Min'er.

Min'er understood, and soon invited the envoy from Yinyuanhui.

It's just a pity that even the envoy of Yinyuanhui didn't know who the old man who originally lived in this courtyard was.

Wu Zhao stared coldly at the envoy of Yinyuanhui, and said coldly, "You Yinyuanhui claim to know everything, but what happened?"

The face of the envoy of Yin Yuanhui was also very ugly. She looked at Lu Yan almost bursting into flames.

Before Lu Yan appeared, Yinyuanhui knew everything.

But since Lu Yan appeared, everything related to Lu Yan has become unpredictable and extremely difficult to investigate.

After coming and going, their reputation of Yinyuanhui was greatly hit.

Seeing the envoy's angry look, Lu Yan was immediately amused, and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold, I can sell you the information."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, the Yinyuan Envoy almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

It has always been others who spend tens of thousands of taels of gold to buy information from Yin Yuanhui.

When did Yinyuan spend money to buy information from others.

If she really did this, Yin Yuanhui would lose all face!

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao looked at Lu Yan and said, "I'll buy it!"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "I only sell to Yinyuanhui, even if you give me 100,000 taels of gold, I won't sell it."

During his time in Shendu, he also learned about such a mysterious intelligence organization as Yinyuanhui.

At the beginning, it was Yinyuan who would sell some of his information to others.

He doesn't like Yinyuanhui very much, now that he can tease Yinyuanhui, he is still happy to have some fun with Yinyuanhui.

The envoy of the Yinyuan Society really wanted to vomit blood when he heard Lu Yan's words.

This is not selling information, this is clearly teasing her on purpose!

Wu Zhao took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "I will raise my troops tomorrow, and I will be able to break through Chang'an in at most three days."

Lu Yan cupped his hands towards Wu Zhao and said, "Then congratulate the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in advance for his unification of the country, eternal wisdom and immortality."

Wu Zhao looked at the way Lu Yan congratulated him, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be mocking himself.

In the past, she felt that her Qi-nourishing Kungfu had already been mastered.

Now it seems that the heat is obviously not enough!
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, turned around and returned to the car, and said loudly: "Go back to the palace!"

……

That night.

Li Fan is reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.

He is still young and full of energy. Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has done everything by himself. He vowed to be a wise emperor and restore the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the past.

creak.

Without warning, the door of the imperial study room was pushed open from the outside.

Li Fan raised his head, and then saw an old figure walking slowly into the imperial study.

He looked at the old man who appeared suddenly with some surprise, and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man turned his head and looked at Li Fan with those eyes that were as bright as stars, bowed his hands solemnly, and said loudly: "Master of the Great Tang Dynasty, Superintendent of the Overwatch Council of the Great Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang, Commander of the Bad People of the Great Tang Dynasty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
