Young man, please stay

Chapter 286 Regent

Hearing the words "Yu Xin Jue", Su Yupan's expression changed slightly, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and looked at Nangong Zhuo:
"If Qin Lang wants to learn the Yu Xin Jue someday, I can teach her."

"Hehe~ Stop pretending, little junior sister~"

Nangong Zhuo stood up, walked around Su Yinping, stood on tiptoe, put his arms around Su Yupan's neck from behind, and whispered in her ear:

"By now, you should have guessed it, right? If Qin Lang really wants to learn your "Yu Xin Jue", ordinary teaching methods will not work~"

"..."

The empress's eyelashes trembled, her pretty face flushed with guilt, and she twisted her shoulders to shake Nangong Zhuo off:

"It's meaningless to say all this nonsense. We can talk about the future later. Qin Lang now has two internal skills, but it may not be what Master said."

“So we need someone to verify it!”

"Oh! ... So what if I don't prove it?"

Nangong Zhuo patted the empress on the shoulder:

"Oh, little junior sister, think about it, who else in the world can verify it except you? You can't ask the legendary senior sister, right?"

"..."

"And I still say the same thing. You, stop pretending. You clearly want to verify it~"

"You're talking nonsense! Who would want to..."

"Hey? Are you all here?"

A voice interrupted the two sisters. Qin Lang, who had finished his shower a little later, also came. He gave the women present a simple and honest smile, but what he received was unfriendly looks from the sisters Su Yinping and Su Yupan.

"..."

Qin Lang naturally understood the reason without further explanation.

Everything was fine at home, but now there's a woman of unknown origin. It would be strange if the princess would be nice to me.

I can only say that it is fortunate that the one who caught the adultery was the "sister-in-law", otherwise it would have been even more serious.

Qin Lang continued to walk over with an apologetic smile, and then saw the little clan leader blinking her big eyes and acting cute and naughty. He immediately changed his face like Sichuan Opera, walked over and pinched her cheeks habitually:
"You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?"

"Oh no! You unfilial thing! Let me go now!"

"? What did you call me?"

"What! I am your senior sister! You little bastard, not only are you disobedient to me, but you are also committing treason. Do you think you are right?!"

"I'm sorry, I have many senior sisters, but I am only filial to Senior Sister Mu."

“Tsk… You really treat her as your mother… Ouch, it hurts, it hurts——!”

……

Su Yupan was already accustomed to this kind of scene, but it was the first time for Su Yinping to see Qin Lang and Nangong Zhuo playing around. In just a short while, her impression of Nangong Zhuo changed a bit.

"By the way, isn't Jin'er here?"

"Jin'er has something to do, I sent her to the palace."

"In the palace? What for?"

"It is also routine to monitor Linglongzi together with Benlei."

"Linglongzi... the old Taoist priest from Wuliang Mountain?"

Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the old Taoist priest seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to enter the palace at that time.

"Well, after meeting me, he is now temporarily staying at Qingshuyuan... This is also the quirk of those big-name people. Whenever they go down the mountain to the palace, no matter what the matter is, they have to stay at Qingshuyuan for a few days. They say that Qingshuyuan has good feng shui and they want to absorb qi or something like that."

At this point, Nangong Zhuo couldn't help but interrupt:

"Hmph, I don't know whether Qingshuyuan has good feng shui or not. I only know that it is close to the imperial mausoleum and has a very gloomy aura. No one lives there now, except for those ghostly people who like to stay there..."

……

Su Yupan and Nangong Zhuo kept calling Qin Lang "bull nose", which reminded Qin Lang of Mu Xuanli's tone when they were in Tianshan. Several times when he mentioned Wuliang Mountain, he also called it "bull nose" with disgust on his face.

From this, it can be seen that Yao Chi’s disciples do not seem to have a good impression of Wuliang Mountain, which is mostly due to what they have heard from their master.

……

"Baby…"

"Cough cough!"

Qin Lang shouted smoothly, and the empress suddenly coughed and gave Qin Lang a fierce look. Qin Lang glanced at the princess who pretended to be expressionless while eating cakes, and quickly stopped talking:
"Your Majesty, so what on earth did that old Taoist priest come down the mountain for?"

"It's nothing, actually. It's just for the vision that day."

"Vision? Could it be..."

"Yes, it was the vision you had when you activated the Zhuo Xin Jue."

Just as Nangong Zhuo said, because it was Yao Chi's unique internal skill, the strange phenomenon Qin Lang produced at that time could not be traced except to Yao Chi disciples, so Linglongzi met Qin Lang face to face, but did not know that Qin Lang was the source of the strange phenomenon. The reason why Linglongzi went to Beijing was because he sensed the strange phenomenon in Beijing from Wuliang Mountain.

Naturally, the empress would not reveal Qin Lang's situation. She sent Linglongzi away without knowing anything and let him rest in Qingshu Courtyard.

"I see... But since Linglongzi doesn't know the source of the vision, why is he interested in it?"

"It's not surprising that Wuliangshan has always been interested in such mysterious things. Moreover, according to Linglongzi, this strange phenomenon alarmed the immortals."

"Fairy?"

Qin Lang couldn't help but recall that the old Taoist priest had inexplicably asked him whether he believed in the existence of immortals in the world...

"The so-called immortals are the Three Pure Ones worshipped in the Taoist temples. Anyway, whenever those idiots make a move, they always mention the names of immortals. They are even more sour than the bald donkeys in the Chanzhen Temple."

"That's it..."

Qin Lang understood. It seems that Wuliang Mountain has some elements of sorcery.

……

After that, the topic of the tea party became much lighter.

It had been a long time since Qin Lang had sat down so leisurely and chatted with his close relatives. With Nangong Zhuo's occasional jokes, before they knew it, even the princess hadn't expected that they had been chatting until the evening. Her mood, which had been a little sour because of Nangong Zhuo's arrival, also became particularly good.

--------

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

At the same time, in the suburbs of Beijing, Xianghua County.

Xianghua County is more like a village than a county.

In fact, the stone archway at the entrance of Xianghua County has always been inscribed with "Xianghua Village". The reason why this small village with a population of only 50 people is called "county" by the people is that it is richer than ordinary small villages.

Otherwise, the archway at the entrance of the village would not be made of stone.

It was carefully crafted by stonemasons from the capital.

The reason why Xianghua Village is rich is a local specialty of the village that is famous throughout Beijing.

……

"Hey, sir, please come in! Someone come! Lead the horse! ... Sir, you are tired from the journey, would you like to have a rest or stay in a hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel for one night."

In the evening, a young man in white came to the inn at the entrance of the village with his entourage. The innkeeper was very discerning. Seeing that the young man was incredibly handsome, with a face as smooth as cream and skin as white as jade, he looked just like a woman. He guessed in his mind that he must be a young man from a wealthy family in the capital.

Of course, it is more likely that it is a rabbit god raised by a rich family's son.

"What food do you have now?"

The young master spoke in a low voice, but it was obvious that he did it on purpose. Xianghua Village is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and the shopkeeper has seen many of them:
"We have marinated venison that we just made today. Fried tofu with marinated shrimp oil is also our specialty. The other one is of course the [Drunken Flower Shadow] from our Xianghua Village. Sir, come and have a pot now. It will be a good start for you to sleep comfortably at night, right?"

"Well, just these three. Let's go for all three."

"okay!"

"Wait, give me two pots of Zui Hua Yin, one pot of fifteen years old, and one pot of five years old."

"Hey!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this young man, who looked delicate and tender, could drink such an impressive amount of alcohol.

More importantly, this young man could name the years with the two most unique flavors of the village specialty, Zuihuayin wine, which meant he definitely drank a lot of it, further confirming his wealthy status.

When doing business, it doesn't matter who you are working with, so it is naturally best to be able to entertain distinguished guests.

"Please wait a little longer, sir. Our restaurant just received many officers and soldiers earlier. We may need to prepare the ingredients in the kitchen now."

"It doesn't matter, go ahead."

……

The young man in white naturally didn't mind, because no one knew better than him where the "officers and soldiers" mentioned by the shopkeeper came from.

"Master Bai."

"Ok?"

The attendant at the same table was actually equally handsome, with the same “feminine appearance” as the young man in white, but because he was standing quietly to the side, the shopkeeper didn’t pay attention to him. When he spoke, his voice was as light and pleasant as a lark:
"We are finally going back to Beijing, why don't we follow the main group?"

"If I go back with great fanfare, I will have to deal with all kinds of troubles right away. Investigating the immortal disaster is tiring enough. Now that I'm back, I just want to have some peace and quiet for a while."

"Oh…"

……

If an ordinary person heard this conversation, they might not understand the situation.

However, if someone like Qin Lang was present at the scene, when he heard [Investigating Immortal Disaster Matters], he would understand that this young man in white was none other than the regent of the current dynasty.
