Outside the gate of Mingde, because they were about to enter the city, the speed of the carriage and the horse team slowed down. Li Ye reined in the horse's reins, looked up at the majestic city walls and towers full of mottled traces of time, feeling a little emotional for a moment.
Speaking of it, it wasn't that long since I left Chang'an last time, but no matter how I said it, I was away from home and fighting outside. No matter how turbulent the bloody achievements of the north and south are, there are times when people feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Now returning to his hometown of Chang'an, Prince An's Mansion in the city came to mind, recalling those simple and high-spirited years, recalling those familiar faces, Li Ye still couldn't calm down.
"Why is Mr. Li in a daze?"
Miss Xu next to her was lively, with a non-malicious teasing smile on her face, "Could it be the first time I saw Chang'an, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak?"
Li Ye Zhenger said: "No matter how many times I see you, standing in front of the gate of Chang'an City, the shock will never decrease."
They didn't ride together again today, and the girl named Xu Ruyun on the left and right was not afraid that Li Ye would run away. They had repeatedly confirmed last night that this guy who called himself Jinyang Li Congjing did not have half a degree of cultivation.
Hearing what Li Ye said, a strange color flashed in Xu Ruyun's bright eyes, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
There were people coming and going outside the Mingde Gate. Although it was much worse than in previous years, it was still lively. Entering the city and stepping on Zhuque Street, Li Ye saw familiar buildings and things. Although he had a lot of emotions, he hid them well.
As an existence similar to Li Ye's Tsing Yi Yamen, the people from Huanyinfang still did not dismount after entering the city. After half an hour's journey, the convoy entered a mansion next to King Qi's Mansion, and stopped in a yard after a short detour, and everyone got off their horses one after another.
A woman in blue and strong clothes who had been waiting here came forward, "I have seen the second commander."
Naturally, they greeted the woman in the carriage. The so-called second command is not the second command, the second itself is a surname. After the second commander got off the carriage, he ordered Xu Ruyun: "Take him to Xiaoxuan and wait there. If Sheng Ji is willing to see him, then bring him here."
Xu Ruyun naturally took orders, and then the thoughtful girl asked, "What if Shengji doesn't want to see him?"
The second commander glanced at Li Ye, and a gleam of coldness flashed through his eyes as clear as a pool of water, "That means his fate is not good."
Xu Ruyun looked awe-inspiring and said nothing more.
Of course Li Ye knew the meaning of this sentence, because he knew exactly what Huanyinfang was. As the main opponent of Tsingyi Yamen in Guanzhong, Song Jiao often mentioned him in front of Li Ye.
Huanyinfang takes Sheng Ji as the highest commander, and has nine commanders under its jurisdiction. Among them, Sheng Ji and the top three commanders are all real people. It is rumored that Sheng Ji is closer to the realm of Yangshen Zhenren, and she is Li Maozhen's direct confidant.
In the eyes of outsiders, Huanyinfang is just a place where Li Maozhen collects beautiful women and seeks pleasure. In fact, it is an intelligence and assassination agency, showing traces of imitating Tsingyi Yamen everywhere.
Li Ye followed Xu Ruyun around the mansion, and finally came to a simple and secluded courtyard. He met a lot of people along the way, although there were indeed many women, and most of them were beautiful, but it was not like there were no men as rumored outside.
"You just rest here, don't run around, and wait for my summons." After Miss Xu led Li Ye into the yard, she turned and told him, with sympathy in her eyes, "I still have things to do, I can't stay here with you..."
After hesitating for a while, she added with a sense of relief: "If you are lucky enough, your fate may change today, and you won't have to work hard to run a pharmacy anymore."
Li Ye cupped his hands: "Thank you Miss Xu."
Miss Xu didn't say any more, and after glancing at him, she lifted her foot and left.
After walking out of the courtyard, Miss Xu felt a little strange. She hadn't figured out what was wrong with Li Ye before, but now that she realized it, the other party seemed too calm and calm all the way, as if she had put life and death aside.
"Are you accepting your fate? It's wise." Miss Xu sighed secretly.
There are monks guarding Huanyinfang outside the courtyard, and Li Ye didn't intend to run away. Fortunately, when Miss Xu was about to leave, she ordered tea and cakes, so Li Ye wouldn't be too boring.
He waited for a long time in the hall in the courtyard, but no one came to take him away. Seeing that the sky was completely dark, just when Li Ye thought that Sheng Ji was not interested in him at all, Miss Xu appeared again.
"Shengji promised to see you, hurry up to take a bath and change clothes, and come to see me later!" Miss Xu quickly entered the yard with the good news, and her expression was quite joyful when she said these words.
Li Ye looked at his current appearance, and felt that it was not an exaggeration to take a bath and change clothes.
After Li Ye took a bath, he changed into a plain robe with a cloth towel and appeared in front of Miss Xu. The latter, who had been waiting in the yard, couldn't help but stare at Li Ye for a while, and suddenly her pretty face flushed. Hastily withdrew his gaze.
She coughed twice in embarrassment, "I can't tell, you are really pretty..."
Li Ye was speechless.
When Miss Xu went to see Sheng Ji, the other party whispered to him on the road: "Sheng Ji is the chief commander of Huanyinfang, and I don't have much chance to see her on weekdays. Except for the nine commanders, the others even She doesn't even know what she looks like... Sheng Ji can see you this time, it should be because of King Qi's order to test you, you have to be very energetic and careful, our Sheng Ji is cold It's very, a disagreement kills..."
After being nagged all the way by the other party, Li Ye only felt his scalp tingling, as if he had returned to his childhood when his mother gave him advice.
Why did Shengji from Huanyinfang want to see him, or why Li Maozhen asked the other party to test him, Li Ye still had a clue in his heart.
In the eyes of these people, he has only one characteristic: he looks very much like King An. Then he has only one purpose: impersonating King An.
That's right, let Li Ye pretend to be himself.
If there is nothing wrong with this matter, Li Ye believes that in the near future, people in the world will know that King An Li Ye did not go to the Immortal Realm, but stayed in the mortal world with some strange supernatural powers, and has formed an alliance with Li Maozhen.
Afterwards, the "Fake King An" who has undergone a round of intensive training in Chang'an will be escorted back to Pinglu by Li Maozhen's people. Wang Jian's soldiers and horses.
Through a series of campaigns and the cooperation of the "Fake King An", in the process of occupying the Central Plains, Li Maozhen will gradually take other feudal towns that originally belonged to Li Ye under his command, digest all his forces step by step, and finally become the leader of the Central Plains. The largest princes in the world, the Central Plains, and Hebei, and then unified the world.
A bold plan.
But it is also a reasonable and imperative plan.
If Li Maozhen is not willing to be suppressed and annexed by Gao Pian and Wang Jian.
When I think that I am about to pretend to be myself and be told what I am like by others, I will learn my own words and deeds day and night, and I will know the portraits of those civil servants and generals under my command, and I will eventually be sent back to Pinglu with great hopes to cooperate with others. Li Ye finds his own power interesting.
The more I think about it, the more interesting it is.
So much so that Li Ye couldn't help laughing out loud.
This smile immediately aroused Miss Xu's dissatisfaction. She stared at her big shiny eyes and lowered her voice to teach: "Why are you laughing? You still have the heart to laugh! Do you know that whether your life can be saved depends entirely on tonight?" Did you listen to what I said?! Oh, stop laughing!"
Miss Xu looked like she hated iron for being weak, and was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet.
Li Ye had already held back his laughter, but when he saw Miss Xu's serious appearance, he almost couldn't hold back.
It has to be said that the female nun of Huanyinfang in front of me is quite kind.
"Miss Xu, don't worry, I will remember what you said, and I will definitely pay attention." Li Ye coughed twice and saluted solemnly.
Everyone has arrived in front of an elegantly decorated and brightly lit three-story building. There are bursts of sound of strings, pipes and bamboos, fresh and elegant, with a lingering aftertaste.
Miss Xu originally wanted to tell Li Ye a few more words, but someone had already walked over in front of the door.
"This is Mr. Li? Come with me." The tall female cultivator said lightly.
The other party's status is relatively high, Miss Xu didn't dare to disobey, so she could only give Li Ye a cautious look.
Li Ye straightened his clothes in a pretentious manner, raised his head and chest, with a generous appearance, and walked into the heavy building with the tall female cultivator. But in fact, by this time, Li Ye's cultivation had slowly entered this body, so he didn't panic at all.
Unlike the kind and lively Miss Xu, the nun leading the way is obviously cold-tempered. She didn't say anything along the way, but walked in front silently, led Li Ye upstairs through the hall, and walked into a spacious private room in the north.
On the way, Li Ye also met a group of retired singers.
As soon as Wu entered the door, Li Ye smelled the fragrance of powder which was not too strong or too weak. The decoration of the room is indifferent but elegant and luxurious, and the decoration is obviously feminine. Whether it is the pattern and color of the carpet or the fancy pattern of the curtain, it makes him, a straight man of steel on this earth, a little uncomfortable.
"Reporting to Shengji, Li Congjing brought it here." The tall slender female monk saluted to the north in the hall.
Through a beaded curtain, Li Ye vaguely saw a woman reclining on a low couch full of flowers inside, with her head propped on her arm and her demeanor languid, as if she hadn't even opened her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up. It is completely invisible.
Even though it was already the season of Zhongqiu, the other party was still wearing a thin neon dress with half-exposed breasts, and the long skirt was a six-flower skirt. The style of this skirt in the Tang Dynasty is like a flower with six petals. The six pieces are separated from each other and are only connected at the thighs. If you are not careful, a large piece of skin will be exposed.
At this moment, because of the reclining posture of the other party, even through the bead curtain, Li Ye could still see the slender snow-white calf of the other party stacked on top of each other.
"Go down."
Sheng Ji waved her hand, her voice was more lazy than her gesture, but there was a hint of flattery but not greasy, and she also carried a bit of majesty.
"Yes!" The tall slender female cultivator obeyed the order and stood up, not forgetting to close the door when she left.
Li Ye sighed in his heart that this Sheng Ji was at least 1.7 meters tall, but he saluted solemnly on his face: "I have seen Sheng Ji."

Sheng Ji spoke quietly, and Li Ye didn't know how to answer the first sentence.
She asked, "Does it look good?"
