There were no handymen in the door, so Zhang Yan used paper talismans instead. This thing is also very useful after changing its size. It can be used for cleaning, pruning, construction, no matter rough or fine work. And with Zhang Yan's current cultivation level, it won't take much mana.
Shen Wujiu was used to seeing paper talismans for a long time, so he was very upset when he saw a paper man serving him tea. The "deacon" looked surprised, and even though he tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't help it.
Zhang Yan smiled and handed over the ghost-shooting bell to Shen Wujiu. This is a daily affair between Duoyashan and the various human nations. This is where ghosts come from, and nothing can be done carelessly. It's just that in the past, Wang Nian was responsible for docking Shen Wujiu, but now that Wang Nian and the others are not in the mountains, Zhang Yan is left busy.
This shows that the shortage of people in Duoya Mountain is already very urgent.
After dealing with the matter of the ghost-catching bell, Shen Wujiu talked with Zhang Yan about the fact that all countries were pleading to increase the output of bone-strengthening pills.
In Shen Wujiu's words, the bone-strengthening pill is now ten times more expensive. It is the biggest and best opportunity for high-level warriors to break through the difficulties of more than ten or twenty years. Many warriors are willing to spend all their money in exchange for a bone-strengthening pill but cannot get it...
"You can talk to Wang Nian about the Bone Strengthening Pill when he comes back. I haven't refined the Bone Strengthening Pill for a long time." How can Zhang Yan have time to waste on Bone Strengthening Pill now? Besides, what does the demands of those warriors have to do with him? He doesn't care if he wants nothing but nothing.
Apart from these two things, Shen Wujiu had nothing else to say. After apologizing, he left Dengyun Palace and went outside, leaving the rest of his time to the "deacon" and himself. Have fun walking around Dengyun Temple.
Every time I come to Shenwujiu in Duanya Mountain, I feel very comfortable. Just standing quietly here and breathing will feel very comfortable.
As for what will be said in Dengyun Palace, Shen Wujiu is not curious at all. The more you know about many things, the more trouble you get.
After Shen Wujiu left, the deacon who had been sitting silently on the chair made a move. He got up from the chair, bowed to Zhang Yan in a polite manner, and then began to introduce himself again.
"I am Li Yuanping, the chief deacon of the Nanyuan Kingdom's royal family. I have no choice but to take the liberty of coming to see Mr. Zhang. Please don't blame me."
Royal? Zhang Yan's mind changed a little, and he roughly guessed what the other party was here for. After all, among the matters in charge of the Imperial Household Archdeacon, there is only one thing that can be related to the cliff mountain.
"Haha, you don't have to be polite, Deacon Li. Are you here because of Yang Rui's marriage?"
In addition to helping the emperor manage the money bag, another important task in the royal family's internal affairs is to manage the marriages of the royal descendants. Of course, they don't care about everyone's marriage. They only care about the marriages of important royal members.
Seeing Zhang Yan clarifying his words directly, Li Yuanping quickly responded and said at the same time: "Mr. Mingjian, the marriage between the Thirteenth Prince and Princess Huayue has been delayed for four years. Not to mention the marriage, even the engagement ceremony has been delayed. It has not been held until now. Whether it is for the credibility of Nanyuan Kingdom or the face of Huayue Kingdom, this is extremely inappropriate.
But now the Thirteenth Prince turns a blind eye to the imperial edict, and now he doesn't even show his face. The royal family was really helpless. Your Majesty blames himself for not being able to teach his son well, and has no other choice. Now he can only come here to ask for help. I hope that he can order the Thirteenth Prince to return to the palace and at least go through the engagement ceremony first, right? "
As Li Yuanping spoke, he almost bent his waist to the ground, let alone sit back on the chair.
Uneasy! Even though Li Yuanping has great power as the Grand Deacon of Nanyuan Internal Affairs, it also depends on who he talks to. He didn't dare to straighten up his back when talking to the emperor, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhang Yan even more.
In addition, if Huayue Kingdom hadn't really pushed him to death and the Thirteenth Prince couldn't be found, Nanyuan Kingdom would never have asked Zhang Yan. Moreover, sending a great deacon to see Zhang Yan actually left room for leeway. If Zhang Yan felt offended, Li Yuanping could be taken out at any time and asked to be killed by Zhang Yan to vent his anger. There would still be room for maneuver later in the negotiation.
Li Yuanping himself knew this, and knew that if Zhang Yan frowned on Monday, his life might be in danger, so it was strange that he was not worried.
Will Zhang Yan be offended by this incident?
Of course not. Yang Rui is Zhang Yan's disciple, and he is an entry-level disciple, so he can be called "Master". The word "father" explains everything.
Therefore, Zhang Yanben felt that he had reasons to participate and intervene in his apprentice's marriage. It just depended on whether he was willing to do so.
Moreover, Zhang Yan can completely understand the helplessness of the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family. How many children of the royal family are truly free to marry? Maybe it has never happened before. I am used to using marriage as a way for the royal family to get along with foreigners. Whether it is a hand-in-hand or a subordinate marriage, marriage is a very good way, even if it is only in name.
But the marriage thing obviously didn't work when it came to Yang Rui.
It's all bullshit to say "the wings are hard". Zhang Yan knew very well that what Yang Rui resented was not the marriage itself, but the involvement of the world and himself. What he was running away from was not "getting married", but "trouble" that would interfere with his practice. This is the essence of the problem. It's a pity that the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family doesn't understand this essence.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan replied: "Deacon Li, what is the attitude of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom on this matter? What if Yang Rui is determined not to get married?"
Ranwen
"This...if sir opens his mouth, I believe that the Thirteenth Prince will not refuse." Li Yuanping suddenly felt uneasy. Although Zhang Yan only said one sentence, it was already revealed that Zhang Yan had a dispensable attitude towards the marriage of the Thirteenth Prince. It also means that the opinion of the Thirteenth Prince is the main one.
Shaking his head, Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Whether or not the apprentice gets married, I, as the master, can't force him into the bridal chamber, right? Not to mention marriage.
Let's do this, I will find Yang Rui and ask him what he thinks. No matter what his plan is, I will let him go back to Yuanding Imperial City. It is really not an option for him to escape like this. "
The first half made Li Yuanping's heart sink, but the second half brought him back. So he hurriedly saluted him again and said, "What you said, sir, is absolutely true! It would be best if the Thirteenth Prince is willing to return to the palace, and we will not bother you again, sir."
At this point, things are settled. Li Yuanping did not dare to stay longer and quickly stood up to leave. Then he exited the hall and prepared to go down the mountain with Shen Wujiu.
However, Shen Wujiu was unexpectedly stopped by Zhang Yan.
"Master Shen, please stay. I have something I would like to ask Master Shen for help with."
Shen Wujiu was stunned for only a moment, and then he immediately trotted to Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "What did you say, sir? If you have something to do, just give me the order. I will definitely comply with it."
