After a while, he pressed his palm on the futon, stood up, and said with a smile: "Qixi, put on your raincoat, let's go!"
Immediately, he put the large-sized human raincoat on his body, and after a quick glance, he found that Qixi was behind, already wearing a smaller coir raincoat, looking at him eagerly.
"Okay, it's time to go." Qi Ku almost blushed, but he had been practicing Buddhism for many years. Apart from other things, he said that he had already mastered his shameless skills, otherwise he would not have been able to sneak into a temple. They also ate and drank everywhere.
After locking the door of the temple, Qiku grabbed Qixi's little hand and stepped into the wind and snow.
They walked very fast, and although there was wind and snow blocking them, it did not cause much interference to them.
…
The golden and jade-filled hall of the Ji family is warm and very comfortable.
The charcoal here is special refined charcoal, well ventilated and almost non-toxic.
But Zi Yan is still not satisfied.
Expensive charcoal wood costs a lot of money to burn for one day. Even so, it is still far inferior to the heating provided by Yang Ruoqing in Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
Nowadays, even the palace is building new heating equipment. In a sense, a city like Sixiang City, which is some distance away from the capital, is lagging behind.
Zi Yan sat on the armchair, eyes half-squinted, she was waiting for someone.
After about a stick of incense, two figures walked in from outside.
The leader of the young man is quite tall, but his face is still a bit childish. There is a smile on his handsome face. The man in black standing behind him stands like a pine tree, motionless, but his eyes are like an eagle, always ready. may break out,
"Sister Ziyan, I'm here." The young man said with raised lips.
"Xingchen, come and sit down and take a rest. It's windy and snowy outside. You've been traveling for so long and you're tired." Zi Yan stood up and greeted.
It was Luo Xingchen who came. He did not come back to Changping Village this time, but after settling down the Wuchao Lake navy, he hurried to Sixiang City to see Zi Yan.
"Okay, I'll sit down for a while."
After Luo Xingchen sat down, he said to the man behind him: "Uncle Ye Yi, sit down too. Sister Ziyan's territory will not be in danger."
"I'll just stand, don't worry." Ye Yiyi said a few words, then stopped talking.
"Just sit down for a while when you come. The Ji family is quite safe. Besides, how can you protect the stars if you don't take a good rest," Zi Yan said.
Zi Yan had heard about Ye Yi, and she didn't dare to underestimate him.
Ye Yi is an old man who follows Luo Fengtang and is very skilled in martial arts. This time it was Luo Fengtang who called him back to protect Luo Xingchen.
Yoruichi didn't answer, just stood still.
"Forget it, Sister Ziyan, you can't persuade him anymore. I think only dad can persuade him to have such a stubborn temper." Luo Xingchen said a little helplessly.
"Sister Ziyan, let's talk about Yinshan. I heard a soldier from Yinshan say that there are iron mines there, and there seems to be a lot of them. There are tribes from Daxia who came with iron. Merchants exchange, but they do it very secretly. If my soldiers here hadn't happened to see the transaction once, no one outside would know about it."
Luo Xingchen picked up the tea cup in his hand, which was filled with Pang Dahai, which he liked to drink. He took a sip and felt refreshed.
"Isn't there enough steel for shipbuilding?" Zi Yan said.
"Yes, the nearby steel plant can no longer dig out good iron ore. If we can't find new ore sources, the process will be slowed down." Luo Xingchen was a little helpless.
"It's not a good time to look for a new mine. The Ji family's caravan was robbed and killed by horse thieves in Yinshan. It was also the middle of winter, and the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. The road into the mountain was difficult to pass..." Zi Yan frowned. road.
"Perhaps there is no need for the highway that others have used. My soldier is from the nearby village of Tianji City. There is a trail through the mountain that you can walk on." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
"Have you told your wife and the general about this matter?" Zi Yan did not dare to make any independent decisions. This matter involved Luo Xingchen's safety.
After all, in terms of age, Luo Xingchen is only in his teens and has not yet reached adulthood. No matter how talented and precocious he is, it is impossible for him to be able to master everything.
"I sent them a letter. I can make the decision on this matter myself, not to mention Uncle Ye Yi, he can protect them." Luo Xingchen said.
"Let's do this. After I finish the meditation meeting and the Taoist Dharma meeting, and then we set off together, how about you change the appearance of the stars and wait for some time during these days?" Zi Yan said.
"Yes, there's no rush. It's okay to leave within half a month." Luo Xingchen nodded.
"Okay, come to my room and I'll paint your face."
Zi Yan smiled and led Luo Xingchen into her room from behind.
As for Ye Yi, she stopped him at the door and refused to let him in.
What does it look like when a grown man breaks into a woman's boudoir? As for Luo Xingchen, he is still a child, and what is their relationship? There is a close sibling relationship, so what if you bring your younger brother into the boudoir.
After saying this, Yoruichi just stood outside the door and waited.
In the room, Luo Xingchen sat in front of the dressing table.
There were many bottles and cans on the table. Seeing Luo Xingchen reaching out to pick up a bottle, Zi Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "This bottle contains poisonous scorpion powder. It will be poisonous if it touches the skin."
"Where's this bottle?" Luo Xingchen extended his finger to another bottle.
"This is centipede powder!"
"Your place is full of these poisons. You learned the wrong way from Sister Yu'er."
Luo Xingchen sat obediently, not daring to touch the bottles and jars on top.
Zi Yan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xingchen, please close your eyes first and wait for me to draw your face."
"good."
Luo Xingchen closed his eyes as told.
Soon, he felt the coldness on his face. From time to time, a paintbrush was scratched on his face, and various creams were smeared on his face. After a while, he heard the sound of purple smoke in his ears.
"Okay, take a look, are you satisfied with how it looks now?"
Luo Xingchen opened his eyes and saw his current appearance in the mirror. Judging from his appearance, he had indeed undergone a huge change.
The eyebrows, nose, and even the shape of the face have all undergone some changes. After all the parts have been fine-tuned, the combination looks strange.
He was originally handsome, but he still looks good now, but his sharp edges make him look a few years older and more mature, and he looks almost twenty years old.
Luo Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.
With his current appearance, it would be best if others could not recognize him.
"Sister Ziyan, will you find the person you are looking for if you hold a Zen meditation meeting and a Taoist Dharma meeting?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"I hope I can find him. I have been separated from him for many years. After the Blood Sword Sect was destroyed, I completely lost news about him." Zi Yan said.
