After talking about exploring the situation in Fengming Mountain, Lingyi said again:
The guards at Fengming Mountain are not as fixed as they were seven years ago. Not only do they wander around, but their guard changes are irregular. It is difficult to detect the situation inside. It would be a warning to others, so they have to leave people to guard the several places they must pass when going down the mountain. The villages and towns near Fengming Mountain also sent people to stay on guard.
An Zhixian praised: "You have done an excellent job. So many people must go out to buy food. It is better to stay here without risking exploration."
Ling Yi agreed and talked about the current situation in Zhangzhou:
"The people sent by the King of Jin to the Zhangzhou fiefdom were divided into three parts. Some were kept in the open, and some were watched by us and the Han family. The most secretive part spread out to explore various forces, big and small officials in Zhangzhou, called The famous companies, including us and Wuwei Pavilion, are all within their scope of investigation."
An Zhixian: "I know the news, and I also sent a letter back to let them be more careful."
Ling Yi: "There is also Wuwei Pavilion. In the past few years, people have left Zhangzhou in twos and threes and dispersed to various states. The number of people is too small and irregular, so it is extremely difficult to trace. The people found so far have all started doing business in various states. Tea House Wine shops, inns and brothels, grain shops and cloth shops, and those who run academies, they just do whatever is needed in the local area, all without any rules."
"People who quietly left Zhangzhou these days have begun to gather in Tai'an. They are all in inconspicuous places. Some have sneaked into the villages of officials outside the city to work as rough messengers, and some have worked in some shops. As associates, there are two others who sneaked into the palace through some unknown means."
An Zhixian: "It doesn't matter. Isn't it the same with Tianjimen and Mingye Pavilion? Just keep an eye on them. As long as they don't hinder us, let them go."
Seeing that An Zhixian knew what was going on, Ling Yi asked if he could tell Feng Xiaoran so that the Tianji Sect would also pay attention to Fengming Mountain.
An Nanfeng glanced at An Zhixian's face, then smiled and said:
"Young Master Feng has been having a bad temper with his master recently. Let's talk about it in two days."
After asking about the reason for the two people's temper, Ling Yi blinked and stared at An Zhixian: Well, actually, Master, he is not very young, so it is understandable...
In the longevity palace.
The Queen came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and Chen Momo said: The Queen Mother is tired and needs to take a nap. He left the queen to dry in the hall and drank tea for an hour.
The queen was angry in her heart, but her face looked calm and composed, as if she would not leave until she saw someone.
When the Queen Mother saw that the Queen had been treated coldly and still insisted on seeing her, she faintly woke up and took her time to put things in order, which took another half an hour.
When they met, the queen saluted respectfully and could find no fault. Although the queen mother hated the people in the Duke's palace because of her cousin's death, she still maintained her identity and did not do anything to embarrass them. She called them up and asked them straight to the point what was going on.
The queen smiled dignifiedly and kindly:
"Mother, my son and I came here today because I want to ask for a favor from my mother for Cheng Qian."
The Queen Mother asked in confusion: "Prince? The prince has his back to the Duke's Mansion, and he can get everything he wants. How can he need any favor from this old lady of the Ai family?"
Ignoring the gun and stick in the Queen Mother's words, the Queen smiled more gently and virtuously:
"My mother's words made me very frightened. Chengqian's current status is all due to the love and respect of his father and grandmother. Even my natal family owes their present dignity to the grace of God. How can I say that Chengqian is the one who is today?" It depends on the government."
