Chapter 110 It's Nothing
Chapter 110 It's Nothing
The man's name is Qi Qingxuan. Although he is the third master of the Qi family, because his mother is only a concubine, he is not welcomed in the Qi family.
In the early years, his mother had served as a maid in the palace, with a beautiful face, which was favored by his father.
But after marrying his father, his mother's old problems recurred. She said that she committed a crime in the palace and was punished. There was something wrong with her spiritual sea, and she became old and faded not long after.
Just raising Qi Qingxuan until he was more than ten years old, he was depressed and passed away.
So even though Qi Qingxuan is the son of the head of the Qi family, his status is very average.
Although it is not said that he is not as good as a servant, but compared with the young master who was accompanied by other maids and guarded with him since childhood, he is much worse.
Some time ago, the eldest young master of the Qi family and a group of friends visited Jiyun Temple and ordered the maids to dress in clouds and clouds, loose Taoist robes, hairpins with flower crowns, and heavy makeup. There was a great commotion in the entire Yangchun City Come.
In contrast, Qi Qingxuan, who is also the young master of the Qi family, is extremely poor and poor, and there is not even a servant in the courtyard.
But fortunately, Qi Qingxuan has gotten used to it over the years.
The monthly routine is enough for him to buy some ordinary books and scriptures to read, but it is a little difficult to start practicing.
He has mediocre qualifications and no support from his mother behind him. If he wants to cultivate, the monthly resources of spirit stones will be a huge expense, not to mention the expenses of boiling his bones, purchasing magical instruments and exercises, etc.
The Patriarch of the Qi family has more than a dozen concubines, Mei Ji, and many heirs, so he would not say that he set his sights on an ordinary heir.
It is even more impossible for the family to waste resources on a member of his family who is doomed to have no future.
"For ordinary people, it is almost impossible for them to embark on cultivation. The cultivation methods and resources are all in the hands of the great immortal sects and aristocratic families."
"In Yangchun City alone, almost all other big and small families have to rely on the breath of the three big families and obey the words of the three big families. Without the promise of the three big families, they cannot practice advanced exercises..."
"In the long run, it will only fall into an endless loop. Talented and well-established monks need to work for the three major families and the major immortal sects for resources."
"And these forces will not take these foreign monks seriously, they will only treat them as coolies, and they will not be able to bestow advanced exercises, so they will not be able to break through to a higher level and have been stagnant."
"It's too difficult to get ahead..."
Qi Qingxuan sighed softly in his heart. After so many years, he can be considered to have recognized the fate of all the poor and low-level people like him.
If he has the ability to change all this, he will definitely let the major families and immortal sects hand over their cultivation methods.
Then establish a school in the true sense, exempting students from the resources and exercises required for practice. As long as they are talented and rooted, they will be able to stand out, serve the court, and become kings and nobles.
It's a pity...he has no ambitions, but he can't do anything at present.
"My mother was used as a concubine during her lifetime, but after her death she was not even eligible to live in the ancestral hall."
"At the beginning, she asked me to study the She Ji Jing hard, but even after I read it well, what's the use of memorizing it backwards?"
"Sheji is something the emperor considers. I am just a poor man. Even if I am familiar with these things, what can I do?"
Qi Qingxuan put down the scroll in his hand.
Although the courtyard is not big, it is quieter and no one disturbs him. This also allows him to read the many scriptures and books requested by his mother with peace of mind over the years.
So even though he has no cultivation base, he still has an elegant and scholarly atmosphere on his body, with a poetic and bookish atmosphere in his belly, and a pure and extraordinary aura exuding his whole person.
"Wei Gong, tell me, what is the use of these scriptures?"
Qi Qingxuan asked suddenly, looking at a short figure at the side of the courtyard.
If he didn't ask aloud, even if someone entered this courtyard, they wouldn't be able to detect that figure.
It was an old man with no white beard, childlike face and white hair, and a very ruddy complexion.
Dressed in an ordinary off-white robe, his eyes were always half-closed and half-open.
The whole person seems to be integrated with the environment of the courtyard, which is hard to find.
"It is naturally useful to read these scriptures well."
"Third Master, you don't need to worry, it's just that it's not time yet."
The old man seemed to smile when he heard the words, but his voice was a little hoarse and soft, not like the voice of an old man of this age.
Qi Qingxuan was not surprised by this, on the contrary he was very used to it.
The old man's name is Wei Gong, he used to be a eunuch in the palace, and he and his mother were old acquaintances.
When he was in the palace, his mother helped Duke Wei.
Many years ago, Duke Wei returned home from the palace and came to Yangchun City to inquire about his mother's whereabouts and wanted to repay her kindness. After learning that his mother had died of illness, he decided to stay by his side to take care of him.
Wei Gong is not an ordinary person, but has a cultivation base, according to what he said, it is the level of the four realms according to the secluded realm.
Over the years, Qi Qingxuan was not bullied because of Duke Wei's protection.
Sometimes when he finished reading the scriptures and ancient books around him, Duke Wei would go and find some books for him, but he never taught him anything related to cultivation, he only wanted to let him cultivate his heart and mind, and understand the principles of governing the country and the world.
Qi Qingxuan was a little confused at first, but he gradually got used to it later, and didn't ask any more questions.
"The time is almost here, and it's time for me to go to the appointment."
At this moment, Qi Qingxuan looked up at the sky, got up and tidied up, and put away all the books on the table in front of him.
Then he straightened his clothes, said something to Wei Gong, and went out of the courtyard.
When Wei Gong saw this, he seemed to be used to it, so he didn't ask.
During this period of time, Qi Qingxuan will go to the appointment on time at Si time every day.
At the gathering a few days ago, he got acquainted with a friend, and the two hit it off immediately, exchanging calligraphy, painting and literature, discussing family and country affairs, and it seemed like they would never see each other again.
Since ancient times, there have been elegant gatherings and banquets in Daxia. "One meeting every ten days, or finding an alliance every month", get together, meet friends through literature, visit mountains and rivers, and harmonize with poetry and prose.
Although Qi Qingxuan did not cultivate himself, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his vision and conversation are extraordinary. Among the literati in Yangchun City, he can be regarded as a celebrity.
He left from the back door of Qi Mansion, walked towards West Street, walked along the road, and soon arrived at the destination of this trip, West Garden.
The scenery in the middle is quiet, with pines, cypresses, bamboos, small bridges and flowing water, which is a great garden.
In a pavilion, there was already a figure waiting for him there.
It was a fair-faced and handsome young man, dressed in a large moon-white robe, with picturesque eyebrows, and his hair was tied between the hair crowns. The book boy and maid behind him behaved gracefully and gracefully.
"Brother Shang, I've been waiting for a long time."
After Qi Qingxuan arrived, he saluted first and sat down opposite.
The person in front of her is named Shang Mingyu, although she is dressed like a man, but judging from her figure and face, it can be seen that she is a woman, but they both call each other brother, Qi Qingxuan didn't say anything.
"I've met Brother Qi." Shang Mingyu smiled slightly, her lips were red and her teeth were white.
The book boy behind him stepped forward at the right time and handed Qi Qingxuan a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Today, I came to Brother Qi to ask what is the way to be a king..." Shang Mingyu said bluntly, without concealing her identity as a daughter, her voice was soft but clear.
Qi Qingxuan's complexion remained unchanged. Generally speaking, when it comes to this kind of topic of the monarchy, literati avoid talking about it, for fear of causing disaster, but Shang Mingyu in front of him is very interested in it, and has repeatedly raised it come out.
He could also see that the other party had an extraordinary background, and he had also done a lot of research on this path.
During this time, I have been asking him about his knowledge in this area from many directions.
Qi Qingxuan didn't hesitate to teach him, he wanted to show his knowledge, he didn't want his hard study for many years to be useless.
This Shang Mingyu also thinks highly of him.
"Why is the way of the king? In my opinion, it is how to benefit the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. From the Shang Dynasty to the Great Xia today, it has been like this since ancient times..." Qi Qingxuan said.
When mentioning the Shang Dynasty, he noticed that Shang Mingyu in front of him looked interested, but he didn't care too much.
The predecessor of the Great Xia was actually the Shang Dynasty. It is said that in an even older period, there was a country called the Yu Dynasty...
This consultation and conversation lasted until Chen Shi, when the sun was in the middle.
During this period, Shang Mingyu never interrupted Qi Qingxuan, and he nodded to express his approval of his various opinions, and his eyes were unabashedly admiring.
"Brother Qi is in a corner, but there is a gully in his chest, like a dragon trapped in shallow water. I believe that brother Qi will one day emerge from the abyss..." Shang Mingyu praised.
Qi Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Brother Shang is absurd."
"Brother Shang has been thinking about my different problems every day for so many days. There must be a reason. Brother Shang might as well just explain why he came here."
Hearing this, Shang Mingyu smiled and said, "Brother Qi is really smart. If that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. I come from overseas countries. I have heard about the power of the Great Xia, and I am in awe and longing for it."
"This time I come to Daxia, not only do I want to travel and appreciate the local customs, but I also want to meet many celebrities and talents..."
"You want to recruit me? But I have no cultivation." Qi Qingxuan was slightly surprised.
"It's not a solicitation."
Shang Mingyu shook his head and said, "I feel that Brother Qi has an extraordinary aura, like a dragon hidden in the abyss, so I intend to rely on Brother Qi, and I want to help Brother Qi to achieve great achievements."
"The considerations of the past few days are precisely because of this."
Hearing this, Qi Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Shang Mingyu in front of him in disbelief, as if to make sure if she was joking.
But her expression was extremely serious, without any meaning of joking.
There was a sense of extreme tranquility in those clear eyes.
"I'm just an ordinary person, how can He De ask Brother Shang to help me?"
Qi Qingxuan's temperament is also absolutely incomparable to others, and he quickly calmed down this time, and said in a deep voice.
Shang Mingyu looked at him and said, "Brother Qi is definitely not an ordinary person. When ordinary people talk about the affairs of the monarchy, they have already been overwhelmed by the worldly principles. How dare they talk about it?"
"Not to mention being like Brother Qi, who speaks calmly and calmly, I think Brother Qi is also very ambitious, and he is unwilling to be stuck here..."
Qi Qingxuan's complexion changed again and again, and he turned his head to look around, only to find that Xiyuan had become quiet at this time.
The rest of the scribes have also left.
There are only him, Shang Mingyu and his book boy and maid in front of him here, otherwise how dare she say such words.
This kind of achievement is no different from... rebellion.
Shang Mingyu seemed to know that his heart was torn and shaken, so she didn't say much, she just said to give him a few days to think about it.
If Qi Qingxuan agrees, she will do her best to assist her, trying to win the merit of being a dragon.
Carrying such complicated and vibrating emotions.
Qi Qingxuan didn't know how he left the West Garden and returned to the remote courtyard of Qi Mansion.
"Dragon's luck in the Great Xia is bleak, and the sky is chaotic, which is the sign of the disaster star..."
"In this small city of Yangchun, there are people with dragon aura. Could it be that Daxia has really run out of aura, and a new dragon will be born to eat the old dragon. For me, this is an opportunity."
After Qi Qingxuan left, Shang Mingyu fell into deep thought, with some kind of thought shining in his bright eyes.
Generally speaking, one who has dragon spirit close to one's body is either an heir of the royal family, a nobleman of the sky, and one's fate is unspeakably precious.
But the current Emperor Xia has never been married, and he is dedicated to governing, and has no heirs.
Due to various reasons, all the descendants of the former emperor died tragically, leaving only the present Emperor Xia alone.
In other words, the dragon energy in Qi Qingxuan's body was conceived the day after tomorrow.
This kind of omen is not ordinary, the fate of the dragon is determined by heaven, this is because the heavens let him fight for this world, and he has the capital of the emperor.
"If I didn't have the ball of ambition, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see the dragon aura contained in it. It is hidden but not visible, it can be called a hidden dragon..." Shang Mingyu thought to himself.
When two dragons fight, one must be injured. Now the dragon luck of Daxia is bleak, and it is time to decline.
Although Qi Qingxuan, a potential dragon, has aptitude, his strength and resources are too weak. If he is born early, he will only be swallowed by the old dragon in vain.
So before Qi Qingxuan can grow up to be able to compete with the old dragon, she plans to secretly help him grow.
When the two dragons are fighting to the death, it will be the best time for her to restore the country.
……
At the same time, in Jingyang City, inside Xiangguo Mansion.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Jiang Lan was rubbing a bronze mask in her hand.
As several forbidden fluctuations flashed across it, the originally plain and simple bronze mask suddenly became a little hazy and simple.
"This appearance can actually scare people..."
He put on the bronze mask, tied his hair casually, and the misty mist spread. His expression and temperament did not need to change. Even if Emperor Xia stood in front of him at this moment, he would be stunned for a long time.
After making sure that no flaws would be revealed, Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction and put away the bronze mask.
Before going to Yangchun City, he planned to do another thing first.
Otherwise, when the matter over there is resolved, it is estimated that this side will not be able to catch up.
Ye Zhiyan has been with Song Youwei during this time. Before Jiang Lan didn't know the whereabouts and whereabouts of Emperor Xia, and was worried that he would meet Emperor Xia directly if he pretended to be the leader of the Naxian League.
So he didn't care about her.
Right now, just before Nanshou's rehearsal, Ye Zhiyan can get in touch with the people of the Naxian League first, so that Xiao Teng can help Jiang Lan do some things better.
Before leaving the Xiangguo Mansion, Jiang Lan followed the usual practice and went to Yuxianfang first to ensure that his whereabouts were under the attention of interested people.
After Xu time passed, his figure quietly disappeared in Yuxianfang.
As the imperial capital, Jingyang City covers a very large area, divided into inner and outer cities. After leaving Yuxianfang, Jiang Lan went straight to the outer city.
Emperor Xia secretly established the Naxian League. In order to ensure that the news from all parties can reach her in a timely manner, she has kept multiple strongholds in each county.
And in the outer city of Jingyang City, she also left a very important stronghold, and the person in charge of it was even more highly regarded by her, and she had been working for her many years ago.
The outer city is vast and full of pavilions and palaces. In the area near the mountains to the west, there are even large mansions and villas.
According to the memory in the original plot, Jiang Lan appeared in front of a villa named Bihuzhuang.
The villa covers an area of tens of miles, and the area is not too large, but there are ancient trees and verdant trees in it, and the scenery is beautiful.
And the owner of the villa, named Hu Sanniang, is a strong man of the fox tribe, with a strength of six realms.
At this moment, it seems that there is an aura appearing in the villa. In one of the attics, a beautiful woman who is wearing a light gauze and sitting cross-legged on a soft bed for cultivation opens her eyes.
It doesn't have the characteristics of the fox family, but its pupil color is slightly purple.
"Who appeared in the village at night? If you want to find me, why don't you let me know?"
Hu Sanniang showed some doubts, the other party came and did not cover up the movement, indicating that she intended to let her notice.
Because of the special nature of Bihu Mountain Villa, sometimes many allies will come to visit her, but no matter who they are, they will report in advance.
"Ok?"
"This breath?"
Suddenly, Hu Sanniang noticed something, surprise and disbelief appeared on her pretty face.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly put on an outer garment, got up from the pavilion, and rushed to the main hall of the villa.
In the main hall, the lights are bright.
When Hu Sanniang came, there was a slender figure in a blue silk dress and a bronze mask, with his hands behind his back and his back to her, as if waiting for her in the hall.
There seems to be a misty mist around this slender figure, as if it does not exist in this world, revealing a lofty and ethereal meaning.
"The ally..."
Hu Sanniang looked at this figure, and hurriedly said respectfully, her eyes were full of respect and excitement, and she didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.
Although she didn't know why the late night lord came suddenly, but as someone who had followed him for many years, she could recognize him at a glance.
Because of being entrusted with important tasks these years, she needs to stay in Bihu Villa all the time.
Even this time, due to some reasons, he was not able to go to the inner city to report the matter of the real half-immortal.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen the leader for a long time.
"I came to the village just now, and saw that your daughter has already broken through the three realms of the Spirit Sea Realm. She is hardworking and hardworking, and she looks a bit shy."
"I think when I first saw her, she was just a sick little fox. Over the past few years, she has fallen into this appearance..."
Jiang Lan still had her hands behind her back, but her words contained some emotion.
"Leader, did you see Meier just now? She has been thinking about you..."
When Hu Sanniang heard this, bursts of gratitude also appeared on her face, and then she seemed to think of something, her pretty face flushed slightly, but bursts of sadness flashed in her eyes.
When she met the alliance leader many years ago, she was severely injured, and her husband was also killed by the enemy, and was chased and killed by the enemy, so she had to take her daughter to escape all the way.
At the critical moment, the leader in front of her passed by and rescued her.
Later, he not only helped her avenge her great revenge, but also gave her many miraculous medicines, which solved her daughter's old health problems and many other problems.
For so many years, their mother and son have been able to rely on the care of the lord to have a stable life today.
She is very grateful to the leader of the Naxian League, but she still has some admiration in her heart.
It's a pity that she is already a married woman and has a daughter, so she is very self-aware.
The leader is not very old, but his strength is unfathomable, his money is generous, and his family background must be extraordinary. How can she be worthy?So I can only bury those feelings of admiration deep in my heart.
"I just entered the villa and took a look at her."
Jiang Lan smiled, and with a light wave of the palm on his back, a bottle of elixir appeared in front of Hu Sanniang, and said, "This is a bottle of crimson bead elixir, which is of great benefit to the practice of the fox people. Originally, I It was prepared for you, but I didn't expect that you didn't come to see me this time about the Immortal Immortal's cave."
"Crimson Pearl Pill..."
"Thank you allies."
Hu Sanniang felt grateful.
She also hurriedly explained, "It's not that Sanniang doesn't want to come to see the leader, it's just because she noticed that people from the Blood Immortal Cult suddenly appeared in Jingyang City, and she needs to tell people to keep an eye on their tracks, so it's not easy to leave the village."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said, "I know, thank you for your hard work."
Hu Sanniang also knew that it was impossible for the lord to come to find her in person just because of this bottle of medicine, especially in the middle of the night.
"Leader, you came to find my concubine in person, what do you want to order?" She asked respectfully.
"People from the Blood Immortal Sect are investigating the matter of the Naxian League during this period, do you know?" Jiang Lan asked.
Hu Sanniang nodded and said, "I already know about this matter. The Blood Immortal Sect is not only investigating the Naxian League, but also intends to find out your identity as the leader. I have ordered people to deal with some people from the Blood Immortal Sect..."
"Then do you know who I am?" Jiang Lan looked at her, as if suddenly interested.
Hu Sanniang hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't dare to find out your identity, leader."
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I came to you because I have something for you to do, and only you can do it now."
"After xu o'clock tomorrow night, you go to the Osmanthus Garden in the inner city, bring a woman here, and place her here."
"I understand." Hu Sanniang kept the information firmly in mind and did not dare to ask any more questions.
She has followed the leader for a long time, and understands his habits. He doesn't like others to ask too much, and he only needs to do what he ordered.
Jiang Lan nodded and asked again, "San Niang, do you still remember Jihu Mountain?"
Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, but then she revealed her nostalgia and emotion, and said, "I naturally remember that it was the first time I met you, the leader, and it was also there that you rescued me and Mei'er."
She didn't know why the leader suddenly asked this.
But about Jihu Mountain, only she and the leader of the Naxian League probably know about it.
Even her daughter Hu Mei'er may not have the memory of that time.
"Just remember it. If there is anything to do next, I will use Jihu Mountain as a secret to ask someone to explain it to you."
"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight."
"In today's Naxian League, there are not many people I can really trust. I hope Sanniang will not let me down." Jiang Lan said.
"The concubine understands, please rest assured, the leader."
Hu Sanniang was startled, and realized the meaning of Jiang Lan's words.
It means that in the next period of time, the leader will not show up easily.
Moreover, the reason why he came to find himself in person was probably because traitors and inner ghosts had already appeared in the Naxian League.
"During this period of time, I heard that many noble disciples in Jingyang City have been attacked and killed..."
"Compared with the Blood Immortal Sect, the Naxian League is indeed a bit too small and fragile."
She felt sad for a while.
The Naxian League was established only a few decades ago, but the Blood Immortal Sect has dominated the land of Kyushu for thousands of years. It has set off a boundless bloody storm and made all the immortal sects tremble and fear.
After Jiang Lan left Bihu Villa, she didn't return to Yuxianfang immediately.
He planned to go to Ye Shiyan's side first.
He was not worried about any accidents on Hu Sanniang's side, because Hu Sanniang never suspected him from the beginning to the end.
Moreover, because of the existence of the secret code Jihushan, Hu Sanniang would actively suspect that there was a problem within the Naxian League.
Therefore, the leader had no choice but to personally find her who was trustworthy and entrust her with important tasks.
It was also for this reason that it was impossible for Hu Sanniang to mention this matter to anyone.
And because she held a high position in the Naxian League, many of her actions represented the leader in some way, and the rest of the members naturally couldn't think too much about it.
Emperor Xia had a lot of affairs, so how could he meet Hu Sanniang alone? Even if he had doubts afterwards, he would guess that there were some traitors in the Naxian League.
And Jiang Lan can then use this code to make Hu Sanniang do many things for herself.
Osmanthus Garden is located in the inner city.
A very quiet mansion full of sweet-scented osmanthus.
When Jiang Lan appeared in it, Ye Zhiyan was meditating and practicing in the room, wisps of purple mist floated around her, like ghosts one after another.
With her eyes closed, she has a beautiful appearance, a jade nose, exquisite facial features, and black hair hanging down to her waist.
With the breathing in and out, the full head of hair seemed to be blown by the night wind, and it kept fluttering behind him, but it seemed like a group of demons were dancing wildly.
Seeing Jiang Lan's arrival, she stopped her exercises and opened her eyes, her eyes were cold and casual.
"Song Youwei isn't here tonight?"
Jiang Lan asked casually, when she came in just now, she didn't feel Song Youwei's breath.
"It's said that the Blood Immortal Sect has something to do and is plotting something." Ye Zhiyan also replied casually.
"Let Xiao Teng come here to have a private meeting with you before midnight, and I'll give you another place to live by the way." Jiang Lan looked at her slightly pale face and ordered.
Ye Zhiyan didn't ask any more questions, and directly took out the Jade Talisman of Communication, looked at Jiang Lan and said, "What else do you want to say to him?"
"You don't need to say anything, just let him know that you are safe now."
Jiang Lan said, and casually put a bottle of elixir in front of her, "This is Yangshen elixir, take advantage of tonight to recover from the injury, otherwise Xiao Teng might notice something abnormal tomorrow."
Before being imprisoned in Tiansi, all the Sumeru rings and Sumeru bags on Ye Zhiyan's body were confiscated.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is impoverished now.
Otherwise, after these few days, he wouldn't still be wounded and look pale.
"Young Master Jiang is really generous. He is willing to give me the pill at this time..." Ye Zhiyan looked at the pill in front of him, and there was a sense of resentment in his heart for no reason.
Although she and Song Youwei live here together, Song Youwei is not a very kind person. Seeing that she is injured, she will not take the initiative to give her healing pills or the like.
Because of her self-esteem, Ye Zhiyan didn't bother to ask such a junior for the elixir.
And her soul was seriously injured by Jiang Lan at that time, and most of it was almost broken...
After these few days, even [-]% did not recover.
She thought that Jiang Lan would give her some pills, but he didn't mention it at all. It was only today that she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be useful. She was worried that there would be some flaws in the plan, so she thought of giving her the pills of nourishment.
This guy is so realistic.
Jiang Lan ignored her full of resentment, and just said, "Be more obedient, the pill is indispensable to you."
"Now I am obeying Mr. Jiang."
"You let me sit, I dare not stand..."
Ye Zhiyan still had resentment, directly in front of his face, poured out a few pills, and then swallowed them all at once.
Only then did I feel a warm breath dissipate, infiltrating the sea of consciousness that was somewhat cracked and dry.
The soul also began to recover slowly, and the face that was originally pale and bloodless also had some rosy luster.
"Really?" Jiang Lan glanced at her.
"Yes..." Ye Zhiyan looked at him calmly.
As an ancient power of the demon clan, although she was forced to be enslaved by Jiang Lan, it didn't mean that she was really willing to submit to him.
She knew that Jiang Lan wanted to keep her to control Xiao Teng.
Although Xiao Teng is only the son of King Zhenbei, Ye Zhiyan has been in the imperial capital for so many years, and he also has a vague understanding of the power behind him, which is far more than that, and also involves the line of the national teacher and the line of the royal family.
Jiang Lan has a big plan, deliberately attack Xie's family and take her down.
Before he completes his plan, he won't do anything to her.
"In that case, then take off your dress and let me see if you are really obedient or not." Jiang Lan said casually.
"..." Ye Zhiyan suddenly regretted the complaints and resentments just now.
"It seems that it's just lip service."
"Do you want me to help you, or come by yourself?" Jiang Lan didn't seem to care what she was thinking, just looked at her indifferently.
"I just said casually just now, Mr. Jiang, don't take it seriously, you can do anything else if you want me..."
Ye Zhiyan tried to explain, but her pretty face turned pale, and she felt an indescribable pain coming from the soul of Zhihai.
Then his cultivation base suddenly disappeared, and he was directly sealed.
She just froze there.
"If my innocence is lost, Xiao Teng will find out..." She was a little flustered, and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, he can't tell." Jiang Lan said.
"I was wrong……"
"No, you're right."
……
After a cup of tea.
"Cough cough..."
Ye Zhiyan picked up the tea, coughed and rinsed her mouth, there was still an abnormal glow on her flawless face.
Jiang Lan looked as usual, completely ignoring her grinning expression.
Ye Zhiyan's heart is high and arrogant, rebellious like an eagle, and will not surrender easily, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to grind slowly.
"Just now the summons jade talisman has been flashing, Xiao Teng should have received the summons..."
Jiang Lan glanced at the messenger jade talisman on her body and said.
Ye Zhiyan just picked it up and glanced at it, then threw it back in annoyance, but after thinking about it, she continued to pick it up, and sent back some messages asking Xiao Teng to prepare some cultivation resources for her.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan seemed to smile, and with a big wave of her hand, there was a glistening Sumeru ring and a Sumeru bag on the tea table in front of her.
Ye Zhiyan gave him a puzzled look, as if she didn't expect him to be so generous.
"Is it my compensation..."
She poked her divine sense over, glanced at it casually, but quickly retracted what she said.
Pills, exotic spirit stones, some rare treasures of heaven and earth that can repair the soul, and many magic crystals that are listed as taboo items in Daxia.
One after another, the magic crystals are piled up there, the size of a fist, crystal clear, wisps of purple mist filling and winding around, magnificent like stars, without any blemishes.
Ye Zhiyan has been dormant in Jingyang City for many years, not daring to reveal that she is a demon, let alone inquire about information related to the demon.
Because the laws of Da Xia are like this, regardless of the reason, once one is involved in collusion with the demons, he will be punished as treason.
Therefore, Ye Zhiyan can only cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and absorbing spiritual stones, which also makes her progress extremely slow.
After all, she is a demon, and the best way to practice is naturally to absorb the magic energy from the demon realm, or practice with magic crystals.
It's a pity that things related to the demons are listed as taboo items in Daxia, and they will be destroyed directly if they are seen.
She hasn't seen something like a magic crystal for a long time...
And these magic crystals in front of them are deep in color, flawless in texture, and crystal clear. Even in the Demon Realm, they are extremely rare top-quality magic crystals.
With Jiang Lan's status, it must not be easy to get these things.
"It seems that you don't like it, so forget it. I have carefully selected these, and I think you will need them."
Seeing Ye Zhiyan standing there in a daze, Jiang Lan smiled faintly, and stretched out her hand to take back the Sumeru ring and the Sumeru bag.
"Young Master Jiang is so kind, how can I refuse..."
Seeing this, Ye Zhiyan directly blocked her hand below, preventing Jiang Lan from taking it back.
She could tell that Jiang Lan came here tonight, besides asking her to send a message to Xiao Teng, she also gave her these things.
The pills, alien spirit stones, and magic crystals are what she needs most at present.
If I hadn't posted those few words of complaints and complaints just now, I guess nothing will happen later...
"It's really duplicity." Jiang Lan shook his head lightly.
Ye Zhi calmly accepted the Sumeru ring and Sumeru bag, then looked at him and said, "Where did Mr. Jiang get these magic crystals?"
"Do you want me to continue providing it for you?" Jiang Lan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
In the treasure house of Xiangguo Mansion, there are almost all kinds of natural and earthly treasures.
Although magic crystals are scarce and listed as taboo items, they are not unavailable.
In addition, there are many things related to the demons.
Although Daxia hates the demons on the surface, it doesn't mean that there are really no demon-related things, but no one dares to take it to the surface easily and attract verbal criticism.
"The magic crystal is very important for me to restore my cultivation strength. The stronger my cultivation strength is, the better it is for you, Young Master Jiang?"
"I can also do more things for you." Ye Zhiyan looked at him and said, with a serious expression on his calm and graceful face.
She really cares about and needs the magic crystal.
In the whole Great Xia, probably only Jiang Lan dared to take out so many magic crystals in such a grand manner.
Before that, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"It makes sense. I just happen to know a lot of things related to the demons, and some ancient artifacts of the demons..." Jiang Lan nodded as if approving.
Ye Zhiyan stared at him with bright eyes.
"But if I'm looking for these things so blatantly, I think I'll be regarded as a demon breeder soon..." Jiang Lan shook her head again.
Ye Zhiyan wondered if he is now?
But she also knew that if she intentionally collected things related to the demons, it would be easy to be suspected.
"Speaking of these, it's actually about whether I listen or not..." She said quietly.
"Yes, tonight is barely obedient."
"..."
Ye Zhiyan felt that his lifeblood was somewhat under his control.
……
The next day, at Xu time.
Night falls.
Xiao Teng, who was dressed in a strong outfit, took advantage of the night to hide his figure and hide his breath, and quietly left Zhenbei Palace.
On his handsome face, he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.
After a few days, Xie Jianjia finally sent him a message, because he was afraid that he would be worried all the time, so he invited him to a private meeting in Osmanthus Garden to talk about his thoughts, and told him not to tell anyone.
Although Xiao Teng knew that Xie Jianjia was fine, but before seeing her, he was somewhat worried.
And Xie Jianjia was really smart and understanding, and offered to meet him to dispel his worries and worries.
For this reason, Xiao Teng inquired about the location of the Osmanthus Garden early on, and followed Xie Jianjia's advice, without telling anyone about it, and planned to go to the appointment alone.
He also knows that Xie Jianjia has a special status now.
According to Daxia's law, she should have been tortured at the Canglan Sword Sect and washed her sword day and night, so it is inconvenient to disclose any news related to her.
Not long after, Xiao Teng smelled the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air.
A courtyard with high walls appeared in front of him.
He made sure that there was no one following him, so he pushed open the door and walked in, passing through the pavilions and arches, to the inner courtyard.
"Cough cough..."
A coughing sound came from the courtyard ahead.
Xiao Teng heard the sound and left, only to see Xie Jianjia, who he had missed for a long time and hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting there, as if waiting for his arrival.
She was wearing a pure white plain gauze dress, her appearance was beautiful, her eyes were like lacquer, her nose was like jade, her hair was like a waterfall, her hair was in a bun, and she had a green jade hairpin on her head. A touch of grace and luxury and coolness.
However, it seemed as if he was choking on the tea, his eyes looked sullen, and his face was flushed.
"Jianjia..."
Xiao Teng took the initiative to speak and walked over with an excited and joyful expression on his face.
Ye Zhiyan had already noticed his arrival, and she couldn't help swallowing the tea that she wanted to spit out.
"Brother Xiao Teng..." She got up to greet her with a faint smile on her face.
"It's good that you have nothing to do. When I saw you being robbed that day, I was worried for a long time." Xiao Teng sat down on the stone bench opposite her.
Ye Zhiyan poured tea for him, and said with a slight smile, "It's Jian Jia's fault for worrying brother Xiao Teng."
Xiao Teng waved his hands again and again, "Jian Jia, what did you say, that you didn't protect you well, that's my problem, how could it be your fault?"
Ye Zhiyan smiled, and did not continue on this issue.
"Brother Xiao Teng was invited to come here today to report your safety."
"I was rescued by the people of Naxianmeng now. I can't show my face in the public right now. I hope Brother Xiao Teng can understand you." She said.
Xiao Teng nodded, he was very clear about this.
Xie Jianjia was able to contact him and let him come to a private meeting, in his opinion, he had enough trust in him.
"Jian Jia, if you are in any trouble, if you need help, just ask, and I will definitely help you." Xiao Teng's eyes were full of affection and tenderness.
With a shy face, Ye Zhiyan hummed lightly, and said, "With brother Xiao Teng's words, I feel relieved."
Seeing her blushing complexion, Xiao Teng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her tender white hand that was placed on the stone table...
Seeing this, Ye Zhiyan hurriedly stood up and shrank back, making Xiao Teng's actions come to nothing.
"Brother Xiao Teng, I'm sorry, I..."
Xiao Teng was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Jian Jia, I lost my temper, I forgot that you are not that kind of frivolous woman..."
Having known Xie Jianjia for so many years, the two of them have never had any intimate behavior.
He originally thought that he could take this opportunity tonight, hold Qi Rouyi, and kiss Fangze, but it seems that the time is not ripe enough.
"I'm sorry, brother Xiao Teng, my father, brother, and all the relatives of the Xie family, they are all still sent to the border areas, life and death are unpredictable, I really don't have any extra thoughts to put on the love of my children... " Ye Zhiyan said guiltily.
"I was the one who was abrupt, it's not your fault." Xiao Teng expressed his understanding.
Ye Zhiyan said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Teng, can you wait for me for a while? Now the Naxian League has promised me that as long as I do things for it, I will definitely help the Xie family clear their grievances and return to their posts..."
Didn't make it up, I still owe [-] words
(End of this chapter)
The man's name is Qi Qingxuan. Although he is the third master of the Qi family, because his mother is only a concubine, he is not welcomed in the Qi family.
In the early years, his mother had served as a maid in the palace, with a beautiful face, which was favored by his father.
But after marrying his father, his mother's old problems recurred. She said that she committed a crime in the palace and was punished. There was something wrong with her spiritual sea, and she became old and faded not long after.
Just raising Qi Qingxuan until he was more than ten years old, he was depressed and passed away.
So even though Qi Qingxuan is the son of the head of the Qi family, his status is very average.
Although it is not said that he is not as good as a servant, but compared with the young master who was accompanied by other maids and guarded with him since childhood, he is much worse.
Some time ago, the eldest young master of the Qi family and a group of friends visited Jiyun Temple and ordered the maids to dress in clouds and clouds, loose Taoist robes, hairpins with flower crowns, and heavy makeup. There was a great commotion in the entire Yangchun City Come.
In contrast, Qi Qingxuan, who is also the young master of the Qi family, is extremely poor and poor, and there is not even a servant in the courtyard.
But fortunately, Qi Qingxuan has gotten used to it over the years.
The monthly routine is enough for him to buy some ordinary books and scriptures to read, but it is a little difficult to start practicing.
He has mediocre qualifications and no support from his mother behind him. If he wants to cultivate, the monthly resources of spirit stones will be a huge expense, not to mention the expenses of boiling his bones, purchasing magical instruments and exercises, etc.
The Patriarch of the Qi family has more than a dozen concubines, Mei Ji, and many heirs, so he would not say that he set his sights on an ordinary heir.
It is even more impossible for the family to waste resources on a member of his family who is doomed to have no future.
"For ordinary people, it is almost impossible for them to embark on cultivation. The cultivation methods and resources are all in the hands of the great immortal sects and aristocratic families."
"In Yangchun City alone, almost all other big and small families have to rely on the breath of the three big families and obey the words of the three big families. Without the promise of the three big families, they cannot practice advanced exercises..."
"In the long run, it will only fall into an endless loop. Talented and well-established monks need to work for the three major families and the major immortal sects for resources."
"And these forces will not take these foreign monks seriously, they will only treat them as coolies, and they will not be able to bestow advanced exercises, so they will not be able to break through to a higher level and have been stagnant."
"It's too difficult to get ahead..."
Qi Qingxuan sighed softly in his heart. After so many years, he can be considered to have recognized the fate of all the poor and low-level people like him.
If he has the ability to change all this, he will definitely let the major families and immortal sects hand over their cultivation methods.
Then establish a school in the true sense, exempting students from the resources and exercises required for practice. As long as they are talented and rooted, they will be able to stand out, serve the court, and become kings and nobles.
It's a pity...he has no ambitions, but he can't do anything at present.
"My mother was used as a concubine during her lifetime, but after her death she was not even eligible to live in the ancestral hall."
"At the beginning, she asked me to study the She Ji Jing hard, but even after I read it well, what's the use of memorizing it backwards?"
"Sheji is something the emperor considers. I am just a poor man. Even if I am familiar with these things, what can I do?"
Qi Qingxuan put down the scroll in his hand.
Although the courtyard is not big, it is quieter and no one disturbs him. This also allows him to read the many scriptures and books requested by his mother with peace of mind over the years.
So even though he has no cultivation base, he still has an elegant and scholarly atmosphere on his body, with a poetic and bookish atmosphere in his belly, and a pure and extraordinary aura exuding his whole person.
"Wei Gong, tell me, what is the use of these scriptures?"
Qi Qingxuan asked suddenly, looking at a short figure at the side of the courtyard.
If he didn't ask aloud, even if someone entered this courtyard, they wouldn't be able to detect that figure.
It was an old man with no white beard, childlike face and white hair, and a very ruddy complexion.
Dressed in an ordinary off-white robe, his eyes were always half-closed and half-open.
The whole person seems to be integrated with the environment of the courtyard, which is hard to find.
"It is naturally useful to read these scriptures well."
"Third Master, you don't need to worry, it's just that it's not time yet."
The old man seemed to smile when he heard the words, but his voice was a little hoarse and soft, not like the voice of an old man of this age.
Qi Qingxuan was not surprised by this, on the contrary he was very used to it.
The old man's name is Wei Gong, he used to be a eunuch in the palace, and he and his mother were old acquaintances.
When he was in the palace, his mother helped Duke Wei.
Many years ago, Duke Wei returned home from the palace and came to Yangchun City to inquire about his mother's whereabouts and wanted to repay her kindness. After learning that his mother had died of illness, he decided to stay by his side to take care of him.
Wei Gong is not an ordinary person, but has a cultivation base, according to what he said, it is the level of the four realms according to the secluded realm.
Over the years, Qi Qingxuan was not bullied because of Duke Wei's protection.
Sometimes when he finished reading the scriptures and ancient books around him, Duke Wei would go and find some books for him, but he never taught him anything related to cultivation, he only wanted to let him cultivate his heart and mind, and understand the principles of governing the country and the world.
Qi Qingxuan was a little confused at first, but he gradually got used to it later, and didn't ask any more questions.
"The time is almost here, and it's time for me to go to the appointment."
At this moment, Qi Qingxuan looked up at the sky, got up and tidied up, and put away all the books on the table in front of him.
Then he straightened his clothes, said something to Wei Gong, and went out of the courtyard.
When Wei Gong saw this, he seemed to be used to it, so he didn't ask.
During this period of time, Qi Qingxuan will go to the appointment on time at Si time every day.
At the gathering a few days ago, he got acquainted with a friend, and the two hit it off immediately, exchanging calligraphy, painting and literature, discussing family and country affairs, and it seemed like they would never see each other again.
Since ancient times, there have been elegant gatherings and banquets in Daxia. "One meeting every ten days, or finding an alliance every month", get together, meet friends through literature, visit mountains and rivers, and harmonize with poetry and prose.
Although Qi Qingxuan did not cultivate himself, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his vision and conversation are extraordinary. Among the literati in Yangchun City, he can be regarded as a celebrity.
He left from the back door of Qi Mansion, walked towards West Street, walked along the road, and soon arrived at the destination of this trip, West Garden.
The scenery in the middle is quiet, with pines, cypresses, bamboos, small bridges and flowing water, which is a great garden.
In a pavilion, there was already a figure waiting for him there.
It was a fair-faced and handsome young man, dressed in a large moon-white robe, with picturesque eyebrows, and his hair was tied between the hair crowns. The book boy and maid behind him behaved gracefully and gracefully.
"Brother Shang, I've been waiting for a long time."
After Qi Qingxuan arrived, he saluted first and sat down opposite.
The person in front of her is named Shang Mingyu, although she is dressed like a man, but judging from her figure and face, it can be seen that she is a woman, but they both call each other brother, Qi Qingxuan didn't say anything.
"I've met Brother Qi." Shang Mingyu smiled slightly, her lips were red and her teeth were white.
The book boy behind him stepped forward at the right time and handed Qi Qingxuan a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Today, I came to Brother Qi to ask what is the way to be a king..." Shang Mingyu said bluntly, without concealing her identity as a daughter, her voice was soft but clear.
Qi Qingxuan's complexion remained unchanged. Generally speaking, when it comes to this kind of topic of the monarchy, literati avoid talking about it, for fear of causing disaster, but Shang Mingyu in front of him is very interested in it, and has repeatedly raised it come out.
He could also see that the other party had an extraordinary background, and he had also done a lot of research on this path.
During this time, I have been asking him about his knowledge in this area from many directions.
Qi Qingxuan didn't hesitate to teach him, he wanted to show his knowledge, he didn't want his hard study for many years to be useless.
This Shang Mingyu also thinks highly of him.
"Why is the way of the king? In my opinion, it is how to benefit the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. From the Shang Dynasty to the Great Xia today, it has been like this since ancient times..." Qi Qingxuan said.
When mentioning the Shang Dynasty, he noticed that Shang Mingyu in front of him looked interested, but he didn't care too much.
The predecessor of the Great Xia was actually the Shang Dynasty. It is said that in an even older period, there was a country called the Yu Dynasty...
This consultation and conversation lasted until Chen Shi, when the sun was in the middle.
During this period, Shang Mingyu never interrupted Qi Qingxuan, and he nodded to express his approval of his various opinions, and his eyes were unabashedly admiring.
"Brother Qi is in a corner, but there is a gully in his chest, like a dragon trapped in shallow water. I believe that brother Qi will one day emerge from the abyss..." Shang Mingyu praised.
Qi Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Brother Shang is absurd."
"Brother Shang has been thinking about my different problems every day for so many days. There must be a reason. Brother Shang might as well just explain why he came here."
Hearing this, Shang Mingyu smiled and said, "Brother Qi is really smart. If that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. I come from overseas countries. I have heard about the power of the Great Xia, and I am in awe and longing for it."
"This time I come to Daxia, not only do I want to travel and appreciate the local customs, but I also want to meet many celebrities and talents..."
"You want to recruit me? But I have no cultivation." Qi Qingxuan was slightly surprised.
"It's not a solicitation."
Shang Mingyu shook his head and said, "I feel that Brother Qi has an extraordinary aura, like a dragon hidden in the abyss, so I intend to rely on Brother Qi, and I want to help Brother Qi to achieve great achievements."
"The considerations of the past few days are precisely because of this."
Hearing this, Qi Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Shang Mingyu in front of him in disbelief, as if to make sure if she was joking.
But her expression was extremely serious, without any meaning of joking.
There was a sense of extreme tranquility in those clear eyes.
"I'm just an ordinary person, how can He De ask Brother Shang to help me?"
Qi Qingxuan's temperament is also absolutely incomparable to others, and he quickly calmed down this time, and said in a deep voice.
Shang Mingyu looked at him and said, "Brother Qi is definitely not an ordinary person. When ordinary people talk about the affairs of the monarchy, they have already been overwhelmed by the worldly principles. How dare they talk about it?"
"Not to mention being like Brother Qi, who speaks calmly and calmly, I think Brother Qi is also very ambitious, and he is unwilling to be stuck here..."
Qi Qingxuan's complexion changed again and again, and he turned his head to look around, only to find that Xiyuan had become quiet at this time.
The rest of the scribes have also left.
There are only him, Shang Mingyu and his book boy and maid in front of him here, otherwise how dare she say such words.
This kind of achievement is no different from... rebellion.
Shang Mingyu seemed to know that his heart was torn and shaken, so she didn't say much, she just said to give him a few days to think about it.
If Qi Qingxuan agrees, she will do her best to assist her, trying to win the merit of being a dragon.
Carrying such complicated and vibrating emotions.
Qi Qingxuan didn't know how he left the West Garden and returned to the remote courtyard of Qi Mansion.
"Dragon's luck in the Great Xia is bleak, and the sky is chaotic, which is the sign of the disaster star..."
"In this small city of Yangchun, there are people with dragon aura. Could it be that Daxia has really run out of aura, and a new dragon will be born to eat the old dragon. For me, this is an opportunity."
After Qi Qingxuan left, Shang Mingyu fell into deep thought, with some kind of thought shining in his bright eyes.
Generally speaking, one who has dragon spirit close to one's body is either an heir of the royal family, a nobleman of the sky, and one's fate is unspeakably precious.
But the current Emperor Xia has never been married, and he is dedicated to governing, and has no heirs.
Due to various reasons, all the descendants of the former emperor died tragically, leaving only the present Emperor Xia alone.
In other words, the dragon energy in Qi Qingxuan's body was conceived the day after tomorrow.
This kind of omen is not ordinary, the fate of the dragon is determined by heaven, this is because the heavens let him fight for this world, and he has the capital of the emperor.
"If I didn't have the ball of ambition, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see the dragon aura contained in it. It is hidden but not visible, it can be called a hidden dragon..." Shang Mingyu thought to himself.
When two dragons fight, one must be injured. Now the dragon luck of Daxia is bleak, and it is time to decline.
Although Qi Qingxuan, a potential dragon, has aptitude, his strength and resources are too weak. If he is born early, he will only be swallowed by the old dragon in vain.
So before Qi Qingxuan can grow up to be able to compete with the old dragon, she plans to secretly help him grow.
When the two dragons are fighting to the death, it will be the best time for her to restore the country.
……
At the same time, in Jingyang City, inside Xiangguo Mansion.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Jiang Lan was rubbing a bronze mask in her hand.
As several forbidden fluctuations flashed across it, the originally plain and simple bronze mask suddenly became a little hazy and simple.
"This appearance can actually scare people..."
He put on the bronze mask, tied his hair casually, and the misty mist spread. His expression and temperament did not need to change. Even if Emperor Xia stood in front of him at this moment, he would be stunned for a long time.
After making sure that no flaws would be revealed, Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction and put away the bronze mask.
Before going to Yangchun City, he planned to do another thing first.
Otherwise, when the matter over there is resolved, it is estimated that this side will not be able to catch up.
Ye Zhiyan has been with Song Youwei during this time. Before Jiang Lan didn't know the whereabouts and whereabouts of Emperor Xia, and was worried that he would meet Emperor Xia directly if he pretended to be the leader of the Naxian League.
So he didn't care about her.
Right now, just before Nanshou's rehearsal, Ye Zhiyan can get in touch with the people of the Naxian League first, so that Xiao Teng can help Jiang Lan do some things better.
Before leaving the Xiangguo Mansion, Jiang Lan followed the usual practice and went to Yuxianfang first to ensure that his whereabouts were under the attention of interested people.
After Xu time passed, his figure quietly disappeared in Yuxianfang.
As the imperial capital, Jingyang City covers a very large area, divided into inner and outer cities. After leaving Yuxianfang, Jiang Lan went straight to the outer city.
Emperor Xia secretly established the Naxian League. In order to ensure that the news from all parties can reach her in a timely manner, she has kept multiple strongholds in each county.
And in the outer city of Jingyang City, she also left a very important stronghold, and the person in charge of it was even more highly regarded by her, and she had been working for her many years ago.
The outer city is vast and full of pavilions and palaces. In the area near the mountains to the west, there are even large mansions and villas.
According to the memory in the original plot, Jiang Lan appeared in front of a villa named Bihuzhuang.
The villa covers an area of tens of miles, and the area is not too large, but there are ancient trees and verdant trees in it, and the scenery is beautiful.
And the owner of the villa, named Hu Sanniang, is a strong man of the fox tribe, with a strength of six realms.
At this moment, it seems that there is an aura appearing in the villa. In one of the attics, a beautiful woman who is wearing a light gauze and sitting cross-legged on a soft bed for cultivation opens her eyes.
It doesn't have the characteristics of the fox family, but its pupil color is slightly purple.
"Who appeared in the village at night? If you want to find me, why don't you let me know?"
Hu Sanniang showed some doubts, the other party came and did not cover up the movement, indicating that she intended to let her notice.
Because of the special nature of Bihu Mountain Villa, sometimes many allies will come to visit her, but no matter who they are, they will report in advance.
"Ok?"
"This breath?"
Suddenly, Hu Sanniang noticed something, surprise and disbelief appeared on her pretty face.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly put on an outer garment, got up from the pavilion, and rushed to the main hall of the villa.
In the main hall, the lights are bright.
When Hu Sanniang came, there was a slender figure in a blue silk dress and a bronze mask, with his hands behind his back and his back to her, as if waiting for her in the hall.
There seems to be a misty mist around this slender figure, as if it does not exist in this world, revealing a lofty and ethereal meaning.
"The ally..."
Hu Sanniang looked at this figure, and hurriedly said respectfully, her eyes were full of respect and excitement, and she didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.
Although she didn't know why the late night lord came suddenly, but as someone who had followed him for many years, she could recognize him at a glance.
Because of being entrusted with important tasks these years, she needs to stay in Bihu Villa all the time.
Even this time, due to some reasons, he was not able to go to the inner city to report the matter of the real half-immortal.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen the leader for a long time.
"I came to the village just now, and saw that your daughter has already broken through the three realms of the Spirit Sea Realm. She is hardworking and hardworking, and she looks a bit shy."
"I think when I first saw her, she was just a sick little fox. Over the past few years, she has fallen into this appearance..."
Jiang Lan still had her hands behind her back, but her words contained some emotion.
"Leader, did you see Meier just now? She has been thinking about you..."
When Hu Sanniang heard this, bursts of gratitude also appeared on her face, and then she seemed to think of something, her pretty face flushed slightly, but bursts of sadness flashed in her eyes.
When she met the alliance leader many years ago, she was severely injured, and her husband was also killed by the enemy, and was chased and killed by the enemy, so she had to take her daughter to escape all the way.
At the critical moment, the leader in front of her passed by and rescued her.
Later, he not only helped her avenge her great revenge, but also gave her many miraculous medicines, which solved her daughter's old health problems and many other problems.
For so many years, their mother and son have been able to rely on the care of the lord to have a stable life today.
She is very grateful to the leader of the Naxian League, but she still has some admiration in her heart.
It's a pity that she is already a married woman and has a daughter, so she is very self-aware.
The leader is not very old, but his strength is unfathomable, his money is generous, and his family background must be extraordinary. How can she be worthy?So I can only bury those feelings of admiration deep in my heart.
"I just entered the villa and took a look at her."
Jiang Lan smiled, and with a light wave of the palm on his back, a bottle of elixir appeared in front of Hu Sanniang, and said, "This is a bottle of crimson bead elixir, which is of great benefit to the practice of the fox people. Originally, I It was prepared for you, but I didn't expect that you didn't come to see me this time about the Immortal Immortal's cave."
"Crimson Pearl Pill..."
"Thank you allies."
Hu Sanniang felt grateful.
She also hurriedly explained, "It's not that Sanniang doesn't want to come to see the leader, it's just because she noticed that people from the Blood Immortal Cult suddenly appeared in Jingyang City, and she needs to tell people to keep an eye on their tracks, so it's not easy to leave the village."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said, "I know, thank you for your hard work."
Hu Sanniang also knew that it was impossible for the lord to come to find her in person just because of this bottle of medicine, especially in the middle of the night.
"Leader, you came to find my concubine in person, what do you want to order?" She asked respectfully.
"People from the Blood Immortal Sect are investigating the matter of the Naxian League during this period, do you know?" Jiang Lan asked.
Hu Sanniang nodded and said, "I already know about this matter. The Blood Immortal Sect is not only investigating the Naxian League, but also intends to find out your identity as the leader. I have ordered people to deal with some people from the Blood Immortal Sect..."
"Then do you know who I am?" Jiang Lan looked at her, as if suddenly interested.
Hu Sanniang hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't dare to find out your identity, leader."
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I came to you because I have something for you to do, and only you can do it now."
"After xu o'clock tomorrow night, you go to the Osmanthus Garden in the inner city, bring a woman here, and place her here."
"I understand." Hu Sanniang kept the information firmly in mind and did not dare to ask any more questions.
She has followed the leader for a long time, and understands his habits. He doesn't like others to ask too much, and he only needs to do what he ordered.
Jiang Lan nodded and asked again, "San Niang, do you still remember Jihu Mountain?"
Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, but then she revealed her nostalgia and emotion, and said, "I naturally remember that it was the first time I met you, the leader, and it was also there that you rescued me and Mei'er."
She didn't know why the leader suddenly asked this.
But about Jihu Mountain, only she and the leader of the Naxian League probably know about it.
Even her daughter Hu Mei'er may not have the memory of that time.
"Just remember it. If there is anything to do next, I will use Jihu Mountain as a secret to ask someone to explain it to you."
"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight."
"In today's Naxian League, there are not many people I can really trust. I hope Sanniang will not let me down." Jiang Lan said.
"The concubine understands, please rest assured, the leader."
Hu Sanniang was startled, and realized the meaning of Jiang Lan's words.
It means that in the next period of time, the leader will not show up easily.
Moreover, the reason why he came to find himself in person was probably because traitors and inner ghosts had already appeared in the Naxian League.
"During this period of time, I heard that many noble disciples in Jingyang City have been attacked and killed..."
"Compared with the Blood Immortal Sect, the Naxian League is indeed a bit too small and fragile."
She felt sad for a while.
The Naxian League was established only a few decades ago, but the Blood Immortal Sect has dominated the land of Kyushu for thousands of years. It has set off a boundless bloody storm and made all the immortal sects tremble and fear.
After Jiang Lan left Bihu Villa, she didn't return to Yuxianfang immediately.
He planned to go to Ye Shiyan's side first.
He was not worried about any accidents on Hu Sanniang's side, because Hu Sanniang never suspected him from the beginning to the end.
Moreover, because of the existence of the secret code Jihushan, Hu Sanniang would actively suspect that there was a problem within the Naxian League.
Therefore, the leader had no choice but to personally find her who was trustworthy and entrust her with important tasks.
It was also for this reason that it was impossible for Hu Sanniang to mention this matter to anyone.
And because she held a high position in the Naxian League, many of her actions represented the leader in some way, and the rest of the members naturally couldn't think too much about it.
Emperor Xia had a lot of affairs, so how could he meet Hu Sanniang alone? Even if he had doubts afterwards, he would guess that there were some traitors in the Naxian League.
And Jiang Lan can then use this code to make Hu Sanniang do many things for herself.
Osmanthus Garden is located in the inner city.
A very quiet mansion full of sweet-scented osmanthus.
When Jiang Lan appeared in it, Ye Zhiyan was meditating and practicing in the room, wisps of purple mist floated around her, like ghosts one after another.
With her eyes closed, she has a beautiful appearance, a jade nose, exquisite facial features, and black hair hanging down to her waist.
With the breathing in and out, the full head of hair seemed to be blown by the night wind, and it kept fluttering behind him, but it seemed like a group of demons were dancing wildly.
Seeing Jiang Lan's arrival, she stopped her exercises and opened her eyes, her eyes were cold and casual.
"Song Youwei isn't here tonight?"
Jiang Lan asked casually, when she came in just now, she didn't feel Song Youwei's breath.
"It's said that the Blood Immortal Sect has something to do and is plotting something." Ye Zhiyan also replied casually.
"Let Xiao Teng come here to have a private meeting with you before midnight, and I'll give you another place to live by the way." Jiang Lan looked at her slightly pale face and ordered.
Ye Zhiyan didn't ask any more questions, and directly took out the Jade Talisman of Communication, looked at Jiang Lan and said, "What else do you want to say to him?"
"You don't need to say anything, just let him know that you are safe now."
Jiang Lan said, and casually put a bottle of elixir in front of her, "This is Yangshen elixir, take advantage of tonight to recover from the injury, otherwise Xiao Teng might notice something abnormal tomorrow."
Before being imprisoned in Tiansi, all the Sumeru rings and Sumeru bags on Ye Zhiyan's body were confiscated.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is impoverished now.
Otherwise, after these few days, he wouldn't still be wounded and look pale.
"Young Master Jiang is really generous. He is willing to give me the pill at this time..." Ye Zhiyan looked at the pill in front of him, and there was a sense of resentment in his heart for no reason.
Although she and Song Youwei live here together, Song Youwei is not a very kind person. Seeing that she is injured, she will not take the initiative to give her healing pills or the like.
Because of her self-esteem, Ye Zhiyan didn't bother to ask such a junior for the elixir.
And her soul was seriously injured by Jiang Lan at that time, and most of it was almost broken...
After these few days, even [-]% did not recover.
She thought that Jiang Lan would give her some pills, but he didn't mention it at all. It was only today that she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be useful. She was worried that there would be some flaws in the plan, so she thought of giving her the pills of nourishment.
This guy is so realistic.
Jiang Lan ignored her full of resentment, and just said, "Be more obedient, the pill is indispensable to you."
"Now I am obeying Mr. Jiang."
"You let me sit, I dare not stand..."
Ye Zhiyan still had resentment, directly in front of his face, poured out a few pills, and then swallowed them all at once.
Only then did I feel a warm breath dissipate, infiltrating the sea of consciousness that was somewhat cracked and dry.
The soul also began to recover slowly, and the face that was originally pale and bloodless also had some rosy luster.
"Really?" Jiang Lan glanced at her.
"Yes..." Ye Zhiyan looked at him calmly.
As an ancient power of the demon clan, although she was forced to be enslaved by Jiang Lan, it didn't mean that she was really willing to submit to him.
She knew that Jiang Lan wanted to keep her to control Xiao Teng.
Although Xiao Teng is only the son of King Zhenbei, Ye Zhiyan has been in the imperial capital for so many years, and he also has a vague understanding of the power behind him, which is far more than that, and also involves the line of the national teacher and the line of the royal family.
Jiang Lan has a big plan, deliberately attack Xie's family and take her down.
Before he completes his plan, he won't do anything to her.
"In that case, then take off your dress and let me see if you are really obedient or not." Jiang Lan said casually.
"..." Ye Zhiyan suddenly regretted the complaints and resentments just now.
"It seems that it's just lip service."
"Do you want me to help you, or come by yourself?" Jiang Lan didn't seem to care what she was thinking, just looked at her indifferently.
"I just said casually just now, Mr. Jiang, don't take it seriously, you can do anything else if you want me..."
Ye Zhiyan tried to explain, but her pretty face turned pale, and she felt an indescribable pain coming from the soul of Zhihai.
Then his cultivation base suddenly disappeared, and he was directly sealed.
She just froze there.
"If my innocence is lost, Xiao Teng will find out..." She was a little flustered, and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, he can't tell." Jiang Lan said.
"I was wrong……"
"No, you're right."
……
After a cup of tea.
"Cough cough..."
Ye Zhiyan picked up the tea, coughed and rinsed her mouth, there was still an abnormal glow on her flawless face.
Jiang Lan looked as usual, completely ignoring her grinning expression.
Ye Zhiyan's heart is high and arrogant, rebellious like an eagle, and will not surrender easily, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to grind slowly.
"Just now the summons jade talisman has been flashing, Xiao Teng should have received the summons..."
Jiang Lan glanced at the messenger jade talisman on her body and said.
Ye Zhiyan just picked it up and glanced at it, then threw it back in annoyance, but after thinking about it, she continued to pick it up, and sent back some messages asking Xiao Teng to prepare some cultivation resources for her.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan seemed to smile, and with a big wave of her hand, there was a glistening Sumeru ring and a Sumeru bag on the tea table in front of her.
Ye Zhiyan gave him a puzzled look, as if she didn't expect him to be so generous.
"Is it my compensation..."
She poked her divine sense over, glanced at it casually, but quickly retracted what she said.
Pills, exotic spirit stones, some rare treasures of heaven and earth that can repair the soul, and many magic crystals that are listed as taboo items in Daxia.
One after another, the magic crystals are piled up there, the size of a fist, crystal clear, wisps of purple mist filling and winding around, magnificent like stars, without any blemishes.
Ye Zhiyan has been dormant in Jingyang City for many years, not daring to reveal that she is a demon, let alone inquire about information related to the demon.
Because the laws of Da Xia are like this, regardless of the reason, once one is involved in collusion with the demons, he will be punished as treason.
Therefore, Ye Zhiyan can only cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and absorbing spiritual stones, which also makes her progress extremely slow.
After all, she is a demon, and the best way to practice is naturally to absorb the magic energy from the demon realm, or practice with magic crystals.
It's a pity that things related to the demons are listed as taboo items in Daxia, and they will be destroyed directly if they are seen.
She hasn't seen something like a magic crystal for a long time...
And these magic crystals in front of them are deep in color, flawless in texture, and crystal clear. Even in the Demon Realm, they are extremely rare top-quality magic crystals.
With Jiang Lan's status, it must not be easy to get these things.
"It seems that you don't like it, so forget it. I have carefully selected these, and I think you will need them."
Seeing Ye Zhiyan standing there in a daze, Jiang Lan smiled faintly, and stretched out her hand to take back the Sumeru ring and the Sumeru bag.
"Young Master Jiang is so kind, how can I refuse..."
Seeing this, Ye Zhiyan directly blocked her hand below, preventing Jiang Lan from taking it back.
She could tell that Jiang Lan came here tonight, besides asking her to send a message to Xiao Teng, she also gave her these things.
The pills, alien spirit stones, and magic crystals are what she needs most at present.
If I hadn't posted those few words of complaints and complaints just now, I guess nothing will happen later...
"It's really duplicity." Jiang Lan shook his head lightly.
Ye Zhi calmly accepted the Sumeru ring and Sumeru bag, then looked at him and said, "Where did Mr. Jiang get these magic crystals?"
"Do you want me to continue providing it for you?" Jiang Lan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
In the treasure house of Xiangguo Mansion, there are almost all kinds of natural and earthly treasures.
Although magic crystals are scarce and listed as taboo items, they are not unavailable.
In addition, there are many things related to the demons.
Although Daxia hates the demons on the surface, it doesn't mean that there are really no demon-related things, but no one dares to take it to the surface easily and attract verbal criticism.
"The magic crystal is very important for me to restore my cultivation strength. The stronger my cultivation strength is, the better it is for you, Young Master Jiang?"
"I can also do more things for you." Ye Zhiyan looked at him and said, with a serious expression on his calm and graceful face.
She really cares about and needs the magic crystal.
In the whole Great Xia, probably only Jiang Lan dared to take out so many magic crystals in such a grand manner.
Before that, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"It makes sense. I just happen to know a lot of things related to the demons, and some ancient artifacts of the demons..." Jiang Lan nodded as if approving.
Ye Zhiyan stared at him with bright eyes.
"But if I'm looking for these things so blatantly, I think I'll be regarded as a demon breeder soon..." Jiang Lan shook her head again.
Ye Zhiyan wondered if he is now?
But she also knew that if she intentionally collected things related to the demons, it would be easy to be suspected.
"Speaking of these, it's actually about whether I listen or not..." She said quietly.
"Yes, tonight is barely obedient."
"..."
Ye Zhiyan felt that his lifeblood was somewhat under his control.
……
The next day, at Xu time.
Night falls.
Xiao Teng, who was dressed in a strong outfit, took advantage of the night to hide his figure and hide his breath, and quietly left Zhenbei Palace.
On his handsome face, he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.
After a few days, Xie Jianjia finally sent him a message, because he was afraid that he would be worried all the time, so he invited him to a private meeting in Osmanthus Garden to talk about his thoughts, and told him not to tell anyone.
Although Xiao Teng knew that Xie Jianjia was fine, but before seeing her, he was somewhat worried.
And Xie Jianjia was really smart and understanding, and offered to meet him to dispel his worries and worries.
For this reason, Xiao Teng inquired about the location of the Osmanthus Garden early on, and followed Xie Jianjia's advice, without telling anyone about it, and planned to go to the appointment alone.
He also knows that Xie Jianjia has a special status now.
According to Daxia's law, she should have been tortured at the Canglan Sword Sect and washed her sword day and night, so it is inconvenient to disclose any news related to her.
Not long after, Xiao Teng smelled the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air.
A courtyard with high walls appeared in front of him.
He made sure that there was no one following him, so he pushed open the door and walked in, passing through the pavilions and arches, to the inner courtyard.
"Cough cough..."
A coughing sound came from the courtyard ahead.
Xiao Teng heard the sound and left, only to see Xie Jianjia, who he had missed for a long time and hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting there, as if waiting for his arrival.
She was wearing a pure white plain gauze dress, her appearance was beautiful, her eyes were like lacquer, her nose was like jade, her hair was like a waterfall, her hair was in a bun, and she had a green jade hairpin on her head. A touch of grace and luxury and coolness.
However, it seemed as if he was choking on the tea, his eyes looked sullen, and his face was flushed.
"Jianjia..."
Xiao Teng took the initiative to speak and walked over with an excited and joyful expression on his face.
Ye Zhiyan had already noticed his arrival, and she couldn't help swallowing the tea that she wanted to spit out.
"Brother Xiao Teng..." She got up to greet her with a faint smile on her face.
"It's good that you have nothing to do. When I saw you being robbed that day, I was worried for a long time." Xiao Teng sat down on the stone bench opposite her.
Ye Zhiyan poured tea for him, and said with a slight smile, "It's Jian Jia's fault for worrying brother Xiao Teng."
Xiao Teng waved his hands again and again, "Jian Jia, what did you say, that you didn't protect you well, that's my problem, how could it be your fault?"
Ye Zhiyan smiled, and did not continue on this issue.
"Brother Xiao Teng was invited to come here today to report your safety."
"I was rescued by the people of Naxianmeng now. I can't show my face in the public right now. I hope Brother Xiao Teng can understand you." She said.
Xiao Teng nodded, he was very clear about this.
Xie Jianjia was able to contact him and let him come to a private meeting, in his opinion, he had enough trust in him.
"Jian Jia, if you are in any trouble, if you need help, just ask, and I will definitely help you." Xiao Teng's eyes were full of affection and tenderness.
With a shy face, Ye Zhiyan hummed lightly, and said, "With brother Xiao Teng's words, I feel relieved."
Seeing her blushing complexion, Xiao Teng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her tender white hand that was placed on the stone table...
Seeing this, Ye Zhiyan hurriedly stood up and shrank back, making Xiao Teng's actions come to nothing.
"Brother Xiao Teng, I'm sorry, I..."
Xiao Teng was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Jian Jia, I lost my temper, I forgot that you are not that kind of frivolous woman..."
Having known Xie Jianjia for so many years, the two of them have never had any intimate behavior.
He originally thought that he could take this opportunity tonight, hold Qi Rouyi, and kiss Fangze, but it seems that the time is not ripe enough.
"I'm sorry, brother Xiao Teng, my father, brother, and all the relatives of the Xie family, they are all still sent to the border areas, life and death are unpredictable, I really don't have any extra thoughts to put on the love of my children... " Ye Zhiyan said guiltily.
"I was the one who was abrupt, it's not your fault." Xiao Teng expressed his understanding.
Ye Zhiyan said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Teng, can you wait for me for a while? Now the Naxian League has promised me that as long as I do things for it, I will definitely help the Xie family clear their grievances and return to their posts..."
Didn't make it up, I still owe [-] words
