After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 176 Another business trip
When Jiang Zhengqing came back in the evening, he quickly came to the guest room to meet Taoist Guangcheng. He had been to Fusang Temple last time and knew Taoist Guangcheng, but at that time he didn't think Taoist Guangcheng was very capable. Since Yuan Qi came back, , constantly giving him surprises, he realized that Daojun Guangcheng was very capable, otherwise he would not have been able to teach such a powerful disciple as Yuan Qi.

So this time the attitude towards Guangcheng was different. Jiang Zhengqing personally accompanied him for dinner and asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of exquisite vegetarian dishes.

When Taojun Guangcheng saw the delicious food on the table, he planned to stay in Jiang Mansion for a long time.

The two chatted happily, complimented each other, and praised Yuan Qi to the heavens and the earth. Yuan Qi was in a good mood and felt that the vegetarian dishes on the table were actually not bad.

The next day Yuan Qi went to set up a stall under the big locust tree, and Daojun Guangcheng took Yuan An to another Taoist temple to catch up with old friends.

Mr. Qian Hou, who had not seen him for many days, suddenly came over and brought his found son with him.

Mr. Qian sat across from Yuan Qi with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Little friend, I'm here again."

Yuan Qi saw the young man behind Mr. Qian and asked, "Does your son remember what happened when he was a child?"

Mr. Qian put away his smile and felt a little regretful: "That's not true, but it feels familiar. I took him to the places he used to go to when he was a child. He met his childhood playmates and seemed to remember one or two things. It’s like he didn’t think of anything, but it doesn’t matter, he’s used to it.”

The young man also bowed to Yuan Qi with a half-smiling smile, very humble and polite.

"That's good, congratulations to Mr. Qian." Yuan Qi saw that the young man was much bolder and less timid than when he was in Yangzhou, and he had the air of a powerful young man.

Bai Youhui saw Lord Qian from a distance and came over to join in the fun: "Seventh sister, are you here for business again? You already said you would take me to expand my horizons, can I follow you this time?"

Yuan Qi looked at Lord Qian: "Master Qian, are you looking for me for something?"

Mr. Qian recognized Bai Youhui and had a good relationship with the Bai family. After the two of them exchanged polite words, he said, "Young Master Bai, if you don't mind it being unlucky, just go with him. I'm here to find you for one of our disciples. He It was the prefect of Jiyang. A strange thing happened in a village under his jurisdiction. A plague broke out in this village ten years ago. When it became prosperous, literati liked to go there, and they were happy to go there and never came back. He sent people to look at it, but the people he sent didn't come back, so he went to look for it himself, but it turned out that there was no one there at all. "

Mr. Qian was very puzzled: "It's really strange. He wrote to me twice and told me about this matter before I paid attention to it, so I wanted to invite my little friend to take a look. Is it convenient for me?"

Yuan Qi was bored in Kyoto and hadn't left Kyoto to play for a long time, so she asked: "I want to go to Jiyang, will you go?"

Bai Youhui smiled: "Go, my grandfather was very satisfied with the last errand and gave me several days of vacation. I just had nowhere to go. Feng Zhaolin and Mao Hongji didn't have time to go out recently, so I went with you. ”

After saying that, he sent the boy behind him to talk to Mr. Bai.

He then said to Mr. Qian: "Uncle Qian, please don't find me annoying."

Qian Hou is also very easy-going: "My dear nephew, you're welcome, let's get in the car together."

Yuan Qi closed the stall and climbed into the carriage with Bai Youhui.

Bai Youhui was a talkative, so he started chatting with Qian Wenbing who didn't like to talk. In terms of family background, Bai Youhui was much higher than the Qian family, but he didn't have any airs. He was as familiar with Qian Wenbing as his younger brother. It didn't take long for the two to become familiar with each other, and Qian Wenbing became more talkative, telling Bai Youhui stories about his childhood in Yangzhou.

Qian Houye was pleased to see his son talk more, and he was very grateful to Bai Youhui. To tell the truth, since his son came back from Yangzhou, he has not spoken much. Although he calls his father and mother and respects his parents very much, I couldn't get close to him, and he didn't have many friends. He felt lonely.

This is the first time I have said so many words to someone at once. Yuan Qi used the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch again. The journey from Kyoto to Jiyang was only four to five hundred miles, and he arrived at the gate of Jiyang city at noon.

Bai Youhuigu and Qian Wenbing had already made an appointment to play together when they returned home.

Bai Youhui was overjoyed: "Seventh sister, how come you arrived in Jiyang so quickly? Did you use any magic?"

Yuan Qi nodded: "Yes, this is called shrinking the ground into an inch, a little trick."

Bai Youhui patted Qian Wenbing on the shoulder: "Brother, have you seen it? This is my seventh sister. Is she capable? I don't know if you have seen it before. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen this kind of magic in my life."

Qian Wenbing was quite proud. He said proudly: "Last time Miss Seven and her parents went to Yangzhou to find me, I had already experienced it on the way back. It was indeed magical. It took half a day to travel a thousand miles."

Bai Yougui snorted: "It's not interesting enough, so you won't call me."

The three of them entered the city gate and went straight to the prefect's Yamen.

Jiyang is very prosperous, surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to the sea on one side. The seafood here is very rich, including all kinds of fish, shellfish, dried fish and kelp. Qian Wenbing and Bai Youhui saw many things they had never seen before.

"Seventh sister, look at the many delicious foods. Let's go out to eat seafood later. I'll treat you." Although Bai Youhui comes from a wealthy family and has eaten a lot of good food, there are also many things that he has never seen or eaten before. He was very excited.

Yuan Qi is also a foodie and agreed immediately.

Qian Wenbing was also very excited: "There are also seafood in Yangzhou, but it is different from here. I have never seen that eight-clawed one."

Soon we arrived at the prefecture of Jiyang.

Yuan Qi thought that Qian Houye's protégé was at least ten or twenty years younger than Qian Houye. Who knew that he was about the same age as Qian Houye, in his thirties, and had a beard, and looked quite mature.

The prefect of Jiyang is called Zhang Jing, and he is very smart and capable at first glance.

"Why is the teacher here? I didn't go out of the city to greet him. It's really rude." Zhang Jing led the teacher inside and said polite words. Yuan Qi knew as soon as he heard that he was an official official and his polite words were impeccable.

He also asked about the situation of Yuan Qi and others.

Zhang Jing did not look down upon Yuan Qi just because he was young. Since the teacher specially brought him here, it meant that he had real abilities.

Bai Youhui and Qian Wenbing followed quietly at the back, looking around at the Jiyang Magistrate's Yamen.

Along the way, Yuan Qi also discovered that Jiyang is a very good place. There are no evil spirits in the clear sky and the yamen is even more peaceful.

Zhang Jing's appearance is also that of a prosperous official, and although this person is shrewd, he is a good official and has no evil spirit at all.

"Teacher please, Taoist priest please." Zhang Jing politely invited the two of them into the room. After a simple lunch, he told Yuan Qi about the strange incident.
