"Qingyi, you young people should exercise some restraint."
"Sanniang..." Qingyi blushed instantly. She just yawned when she got up in the morning, so what?
Last night, she stayed in Luo Xing's room for too long and was discovered by Hu Sanniang.
"It's okay, Third Master's wife is joking with you." Luo Xing appeared behind Qingyi at some point and gently hugged her shoulders.
There is no intention to avoid outsiders at all.
Since we are about to announce our relationship, we should simply do it openly and openly, there is no need to hide it.
Hu Sanniang shook her head and recalled that she and Meng Yi were like this back then. In fact, they both came from their youth.
Pack your things and get ready to go.
Because of the large number of people, the "remnants of the previous dynasty" and the heavy cargo, the team naturally couldn't move fast, but with the road, the speed was still much faster than in the mountains.
Not long after setting foot on the official road, they saw a team coming towards them. The leader was Jiang Jingzhao, the head of Jinzhou Branch of Nanya whom they had seen before. Behind him were a large number of Nanya Ti cavalry, wearing bright clothes and angry horses. This person has a calm momentum and exudes a powerful aura, which can reach four to five hundred people.
The Nanya Jinzhou Branch probably does not have such an elite team.
They should be people from Luojing Nanya headquarters.
Sure enough, when everyone came to the team and dismounted, a person came up from behind Jiang Jingzhao. Isn't it Yan Shaoqing, the head of the Lin Department of Nanya Jing'an Division?
The Forestry Department is in charge of policy making and operation. All work plans of Jing'an Division are designated by the Forestry Department. At the same time, the Forestry Department is also responsible for all operations of Nanya.
It can be said to a certain extent that the Forestry Department of Jing'an Division is Nanya's purse. The imperial government's allocation only accounts for one-third of Nanya's total funds, and the remaining two-thirds are the operating income of the Forestry Department. .
When Ye Hongyi was in office, the Jing'an Department listened to his words. The position of the head of the Forestry Department was naturally very important. It was not a big problem to place the management position in the Forestry Department.
But after Zhuo Chunfeng came to power, the Jing'an Department had too much power and became the dominant force. Sooner or later, the management of the Forestry Department would be placed under the jurisdiction of San Si Tang.
The head of the Lin Department is a person left by Ye Hongyi. In Nanya, his status in the Yehou family is second only to Yao Wenzhong, the commander of the Jing'an Division.
Although there are two commanding officers in the Jing'an Division, they are both on duty and not on duty. They are just given a place to provide for their retirement.
The Jing'an Department needs to centralize power, so it adopts this method.
Therefore, in essence, Yan Shaoqing, the head of the Forestry Department, is the second-in-command of the Jing'an Department, and the rest are the heads of the various departments, namely the Wind Department, the Fire Department and the Mountain Department.
What could make Yan Shaoqing, the chief of the Forestry Department who had never left Beijing, leave the capital and come to Jinzhou, the bitter cold state capital in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Yan Shaoqing, Secretary of Nanya Jing'an, has met His Royal Highness Princess Liuli and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" Yan Shaoqing saluted Ye Liuli and the Fourth Prince Ye Kai.
The princess and the prince are both of the first rank, while his boss is only of the fourth rank, which is too far away. How dare he be rude? If someone grabs his tail and makes a small report, it will give Zhuo Chunfeng an excuse to wear small shoes for him.
"Master Yan, no courtesy."
"The princess and the fourth prince are suffering. I have brought a carriage and asked your two highnesses to rest on the carriage." Yan Shaoqing bent down slightly and said.
"That's fine." Ye Liuli nodded.
"Are these puppets?" Yan Shaoqing was shocked when he saw a long queue, all composed of puppets.
"Yes, they were all found in the tomb of Taoist Chi. Captain Luo discovered the method of manipulation and used them to bring out what was hidden in the tomb." Ye Liuli explained.
"Luo Xiaoqi has met Mr. Yan."
"Okay, great." Yan Shaoqing saw Luo Xing with a friendly smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Yan." Qingyi came forward cutely and called out in a low voice.
Senior brother?
Luo Xing was slightly startled. Qingyi and Yan Shaoqing actually had such a relationship. Why had she never mentioned it to him?
"Teacher has retired, and you can finally call me senior brother in an upright manner." Yan Shaoqing chuckled.
It is true that some relationships in Nanya are not easy to make public. If the fact that Yan Shaoqing is Ye Hou's disciple is made public, it will definitely be labeled as nepotism.
In fact, how could Ye Hongyi safely hand over Nanya's money bag to an outsider? It would be more appropriate to hand it over to his own disciple.
"Senior brother is not in Luojing, why did he come to Jinzhou?"
"Senior brother has been promoted, and now he is in command of others. He is promoted from the third rank." Yan Shaoqing chuckled, but there seemed to be a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
It rises brightly and falls darkly.
Zhuo Chunfeng wants to gain financial power, so naturally he cannot let Yan Shaoqing continue to be the head of the Forestry Department. But if he is here, there will be more resistance to many things. Moreover, Yao Wenzhong is still in charge of the Jing'an Department, and he has not established absolute authority in Nanya. prestige.
It was a troubled time now, and he did not dare to make too big a move that would affect the overall situation. Emperor Yongxi would not let him go.
They are all smart people, and they know what is going on as soon as they hear it.
This result is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.
"Maybe I haven't been out of Beijing for a long time. This time I just took this opportunity to go out for a walk and relax." Yan Shaoqing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is very happy to know that you have brought back millions of taels of gold and silver from Taoist Chi Taoist's tomb. He will personally receive you in the Daming Palace and reward you heavily." Yan Shaoqing said.
"Really, that's great." Qingyi said happily.
But Yan Shaoqing could see that the joy on Qingyi's face was not that strong. She probably didn't have that much expectation for a big prize.
"Your Highnesses, please leave your property and prisoners to your subordinates for escort."
"Yes." Ye Liuli naturally had no objection. Moreover, it had been discussed along the way, and he would hand over the things as soon as the people from Nanya arrived.
There are still necessary procedures.
The handover of property and prisoners had to be made and counted, which took a lot of time. Fortunately, there were professional staff, all of whom were Yan Shaoqing's own.
Taoist Chi's treasures are mainly made of gold, fifty taels of gold ingots each, and there are more than 10,000 ingots here. The silver is not much, and it is mainly used in casting utensils. However, these utensils are all from thousands of years ago and have exquisite shapes. It has a very high historical value, and its value exceeds itself.
There are also pearls, agate and other things.
There are not many jade stones, because jade can be used to make jade talismans and is of higher value, so it was naturally collected by Luo Xing himself.
Then there are various martial arts secret books and collections of books. The value of these is impossible to estimate. Anyway, Hei Zhongling has memorized the contents. It is not a loss to exchange these secret books for some merit points.
In fact, the most valuable ones are the puppets. Each one is worth ten thousand gold. There are more than one hundred puppets here, which are worth more than one million gold.
But it’s not that private ownership of this thing is impossible, but it consumes too many resources and cannot be maintained.
If you can’t even afford it, then what are you doing with it? Are you leaving it at home to eat dust?
You might as well hand it over. He handed over even such a valuable item as a puppet to the court without hesitation. Do you still have reason to suspect that you have secretly hidden something?
The problem is, with so many pairs of eyes, in full view of everyone, even if he can hide something, how much can he hide?
I'm afraid not many people know about the meson space ring, and only a very small number of people can afford it, but Luo Xing is definitely not among that small group of people.
"One hundred and seventeen puppets, thirty-one second-grade combat puppets, and the rest are all third-grade puppets. Why are there no first-grade puppets?"
"The material cost of a first-grade combat puppet is terrifying. To build such a puppet, the maintenance and usage fees are even more terrifying. It would be more cost-effective to directly hire a first-grade grandmaster..."
"That's true!"
"With so many puppets, Nanya can save a lot of manpower, and the defense force will be greatly increased!"
"You're overthinking it. At most ten of these puppets will be kept in Nanya, and the rest will be sent to the palace."
"Is this our Nanya's trophy?"
"Nanya still belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty has already decreed that all the things you get from the tomb of Taoist Chi during this trip will be handed over and then you will be rewarded!"
"Isn't this the previous rule?"
"You tell His Majesty the rules. Your Majesty's words are the imperial edict. The rules..."
As expected, the emperor's eating appearance is really ugly, which is in line with his usual character. The court is very short of money now. How can it fight a war without money and food?
Martial arts secrets and puppets can enhance strength and foundation, so he will naturally not let them go.
As for the official hat, does the emperor lack it?
Maybe he can still get a title this time, Luo Xing thought to himself, but it would be hard to say if he would be promoted. If he was promoted, he would be on an equal footing with the young Marquis Su Rui.
Qingyi got on Ye Liuli's carriage, and Luo Xing could only ride his "Xiao Qing" slowly hanging at the end of the team. Anyway, the mission of this trip has been completed, and the rest is not what he, a little captain, should care about.
Why not take this opportunity to study the "Purple Sun Book" in your mind? This technique can definitely become the fundamental technique of a sect now. This is the secret technique handed down from generation to generation of Ziyang Sect, a sect that has existed for a thousand years. This sect After being destroyed by Taoist Chi, everything in the sect was taken over by Taoist Chi. Therefore, Taoist Chi's primitive accumulation of wealth was also full of blood.
As for why Taoist Chi wanted to destroy the Ziyang Clan, let’s not investigate it now, it’s meaningless.
This "Purple Sun Heavenly Book" is practiced by absorbing a wisp of purple sun heavenly fire. It is extremely strong and extremely powerful. However, this technique is difficult to practice. It is suitable for men to practice, especially those with pure Yang bodies.
Luo Xing is naturally not a pure yang body, but he can also cultivate, but after practicing, his power may be slightly inferior.
If this Purple Sun Heavenly Book is cultivated into a ray of Purple Sun Heavenly Gang, it will have infinite power. The one inside will turn into a ball of coke from the inside out.
This purple sun fire is conceived in the first ray of sunshine in the morning. It is not a simple matter to feel it, find it, and absorb it.
"Shichiro, why are you walking behind alone?"
"What's up, Brother Tieniu, be quiet back there. Anyway, I'm not the team leader now. Just follow the team and don't get lost." Luo Xing was interrupted by Duan Tieniu's call.
"Those who inspected Si Tianlan Sect have parted ways with us." Duan Tieniu said.
"We don't agree with each other, so just leave." Luo Xing said nonchalantly.
"Qi Lang, you don't know that we got so many good things from Taoist Chi's tomb. Once the news gets out, there will be constant troubles along the way." Duan Tieniu said.
"It doesn't matter, we now have many people and many experts, so why be afraid of these little thieves who are not afraid of death!" Luo Xing laughed.
The ones dispatched by Nanya are the Tiqi from the Jingan Division Fire Department, which is the most powerful team. The three hundred Tiqi are almost on the same level as His Majesty's Black Feather Guards. If someone comes to stroke the tiger's beard, I just needed to sharpen the steel knife from Nanya Fire Department.
