Hong Yao seemed to communicate silently with an invisible person, and Gu Yu pretended not to notice, only feeling that there was an extremely hidden breath in the air that was fleeting.
The street outside was already boiling. The killing of the young master of the Huang family was enough to become a big news, and it was like a turmoil for a while.
Shao Le stomped and ran upstairs, fat and panting, and poured himself a glass of wine, "Oh, oh, I'm scared to death, I have to suppress my shock!"
Gu Yu rolled his eyes at him, and just about to take out a few red coins, his hands stopped again, and he exchanged them for a few silver beads circulating in the Qiyuan Kingdom and threw them to the girls, saying: "Go down first, you don't need to wait."
"Thanks, thank you son!"
The girls were already trembling, bowed and retreated, and Hong Yao was no exception, showing a terrified expression.
The old bustard encountered an indiscriminate disaster, but he didn't dare to drive anyone away, so he just froze. Gu Yu and Shao Le didn't take it seriously at all, they stayed in the room to eat and drink.
"That red medicine may belong to the Seventh Princess."
"Seventh Princess?"
Shao Le was stunned for a moment, but also realized, and said: "She was married to Yan Zhou back then, and it is said that she was very favored. Even if the two countries were at war, she was not contemptuous. Now that Yan Zhou's situation is unknown, is she secretly developing power?"
"It's not in the dark, it should be on the bright side. I heard that she is well-rounded in Qiyuan, has a wide network of contacts, and has accumulated a lot of influence. Although she is a subjugated princess, this status is still very useful."
"Oh? Could it be that she still wants to ascend to the top and lead the army to restore the country?"
"Why can't it work? With a righteous reputation, at least the teacher will definitely go to seek refuge, plus the survivors of the old country scattered all over the world, they must not be underestimated." Gu Yu said.
Although Qi Yuan has completed the unification of the Three Kingdoms, he always has a precarious feeling just like the seven kingdoms returning to Qin in reality.
Due to the existence of the Tongtian River, large-scale immigration is naturally restricted, so the integration of people will be an extremely long process. Almost all the monks and low-level officials in the country were transferred, and they were all sent to Zhenyang and the old land of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty. There were no talents to fill the vacancies in the country, so the standards had to be lowered again and again, so that the flies and dogs came to the position one after another.
The unification of the hegemony made Qi Yuan hurt, and a large number of high-level monks perished. It was originally a Jinglu and a fugue, but now he can be the master of Jinglu during the out-of-body period. Lack of strong supervision and management at the local level, the natural society is in turmoil, and the market is corrupted.
And the most important thing is that Yan Zhou has been recuperating since five years ago and has not come out yet.
Rumors are increasing day by day. Some say that Yan Zhou is dead; An opportunity for all parties to take advantage of.
It was in this chaotic situation that Gu Yu and Shao Le dared to venture into the customs to explore the mystery of the achievement of heaven and man!
So they sat on the Diaoyutai without any fear, and the townspeople were surprised to find that this not-so-high-end brothel had suddenly become a key place.
Not long after the news of the murder in the street was released, the people from the yamen came to find them, and then retreated respectfully.
The next day, the military came.
On the third day, Jinglu came.
On the fourth day, a mess of people came to visit.
Except for the earliest yamen, none of them came to pursue accountability, and there were two big words in and out of the words: win over!
Gu Yu and Shao Le are both pseudonyms, claiming to be Qiyuan Loose Cultivator, out of body realm, wandering in the grassland, happened to meet the caravan, and entered the customs together.
No one will go to the bottom to find the truth, what they value is whether they can use it for themselves.
…
The capital, the imperial city.
The imperial city here is different from any dynasty, because the king is a monk, or the most powerful monk. They seldom go to court, do not need the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, do not need to play and enjoy, and do not need delicacies... So it is really like a pure place to live.
"Empress Empress!"
"Empress Empress!"
Amidst a series of kowtows from the servants, a woman in palace attire came outside the red wall in a chariot. She has a beautiful appearance, with an inherent nobility, as if she was born to stand in the clouds and be admired by all.
The seventh princess of Zhenyang, Mingyu!
This is the back mountain of the imperial city, a place of meditation built by hollowing out the mountainside, guarded layer by layer, the outer door is closed, it is the place where Yan Zhou retreated.
"My lady, please stay!"
A personal guard stopped the chariot, Mingyu looked at him, and asked as usual: "Does Your Majesty have any instructions today?"
"No instructions."
"Well, good guard."
"yes!"
Afterwards, the chariot returned, as if only to ask this short sentence. And it was this sentence that she had been asking here for two years since she came here every day.
All the way people backed away, and the chariot returned to the palace. Mingyu first changed into ordinary clothes, and then was served by the maid, who removed the red hairpin ornaments all over her head.
"Your Majesty, the people in the north sent back news that the Taoist Mangshan intends to cooperate and can get in touch further. But I think that he is only doing it for the sake of heaven and man, and he is not sincere."
The maid pulled out a jade hairpin, and casually said a secret anecdote that putting it outside would cause turmoil.
"The cooperation of interests is not stable, but sometimes it can be reassuring. As long as he doesn't get the exercises, at least he won't be our enemy. Is there any news from the south?"
"No, it was probably killed by someone from the National Teacher."
"National Division… "
Mingyu snorted coldly, this is her biggest opponent at the moment, a first-rank Taoist official in the imperial court, who is in charge of Zixu Temple, which is equivalent to Zhenyang's Daolu.
When she married back then, she was a master of the fugue stage, and she was better than before after more than ten years of precipitation. This national teacher is also similar, in the absence of Yan Zhou, he is already one of the best masters in the country.
"The two lords, Shouxuan and Zizhen, brought back the gift."
"The national teacher went to the back mountain last night, but he didn't see His Majesty either."
"Shou Fu is old and has the intention of retiring from old age and returning to his hometown."
"The Tuoya tribe in the west destroyed Yirentai, and the grassland was unified..."
A piece of anecdote came out from the mouth of the court lady, Mingyu listened expressionlessly, but at the end she became a little interested, "Tuoya? I heard that this person is very brave and resourceful. Get acquainted."
"Hee, I also think she is very similar to you, maybe she will become a good friend!"
The palace maid took off the ornaments and helped her comb her hair with a comb, when she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Danling Bian Town recently reported that two suspicious casual cultivators killed Mr. Huang, and our people are also going to recruit them. The other party intends to take refuge."
"How is your cultivation?"
"It's all out of the body."
"Is there any trace before?"
"There is no trace, it seems to appear out of thin air."
"Um… "
Mingyu thought for a while, then said: "Arrange to the attracting hut first, let's wait and see."
"Attraction house?"
The palace maid covered her mouth and pretended to exclaim, "That's going to pass through the territory of the national teacher. They just refused the other party's recruitment, and I'm afraid they will be killed."
"Whether to kill or not depends on their fate. If they are alive, we will see each other."
