At the door of the room were three pairs of curious eyes, motionless as they stared at Ye Xiayou and Wage Wangyou who entered the courtyard one after another.
Obviously they didn't see what they wanted to see, and they couldn't be happy after seeing what they wanted to see.
Everyone seems to be overflowing with curiosity.
The room is also simple and not so elegant. Everyone finds a place to sit one by one.
There is no need for polite greetings, even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, how much friendship is left unsaid.
He Qingshan, a world-famous storyteller, spoke first. She had an indescribable and intimate relationship with the Ye family, especially the two or three generations above and below, so she was not shy about speaking. The two of them had been at each other's throats since the first time they met when they were children. It was like they were enemies in the previous life, and they never had a good conversation with each other.
It’s hard to imagine that this storyteller who is a daughter has a completely manly temperament when getting along with others, and is very carefree.
While taking off the attire and make-up that was so fake that it would have been mistaken for the real thing if Xiaocha hadn't followed him in the middle of the night, He Qingshan asked: "What have you two been doing during this time? If you say you are gone, you will be gone. My brother in the gang." I can't even find him, so I thought I was going to the mountains to become a monk."
Ye Sangen, who had a close relationship with He Qingshan, didn't pay much attention to what he was saying. He said sarcastically: "I don't have the ability to come up with such an excuse. Where else can the two of us go? Why don't you talk to God about going to the mountains?"
Listening to the two people quarreling again, Ye Xiaer interjected and explained: "Afraid of being followed by someone with intentions, we made a long detour in Guozhou. We arrived in Shangzhou again, and then went back to the East-West Official Road in Gyeonggi Province. This was the delay. It took more than ten days.”
Regarding this well-known second young lady of the Ye family, He Qingshan still did not dare to behave too much even though he had not seen him for three years. He completely lost the dignity he had when talking to Ye Sangeng just now. He Qingshan smiled and said: " I just said that the second young lady is so smart and resourceful that even our beggar gang can’t find her. She is indeed the second young lady. She is amazing and I admire her."
Such unabashed flattery earned Ye Sangen and Xiaocha a big eye roll.
He Qingshan, who saw such an expression on the third night of the night, didn't take it seriously and was very proud, "We brothers of the Beggar Clan are spread all over the world and have good ears and eyes. As soon as you showed up yesterday, we received the news as soon as possible, and we traveled all the way from Songshan to Rush here, this is strength."
Ye Sangen curled his lips, "You can pull him down."
The two people were about to start bickering again, but they stopped immediately after Ye Xieyou coughed slightly. Apparently, the two people's nonsense regardless of time and place annoyed the second young lady of the Ye family.
Indeed, Waka Wangyou, who had come from afar, sat aside in embarrassment, feeling a little embarrassed. Although he could not see her at night, it was not the style of a country with great etiquette to ignore guests like this.
He Qingshan, who was never idle for a moment, realized his mistake. He turned to look at the Prince of Fuying East Palace and spoke again, "This guy met me in Taicheng and asked to see you by name. Not to mention the reason, in line with the principle of friendly exchanges between the two countries, and the righteousness of the chivalrous people in Jianghu who draw swords to help when encountering injustice, I will not say anything..."
"Shut up."
Ye Xiayou softly uttered two words, and the storyteller who always spoke as if he was telling a story obediently shut up.
After hearing what He Qingshan said, in the middle of the night, he turned to look at this old friend who he had only known for a few months. However, after experiencing life and death several times and sharing joys and sorrows for several months, the friendship was naturally beyond the comprehension of others.
So Ye Sangeng, whom he hadn't seen for seven years, just asked: "Is something wrong?"
"have."
"oh?"
"event."
"oh."
One question and one answer, simple.
The room fell silent again.
Except for Xiao Cha, who was looking at this and that, and didn't know why, the few people in the room were all smart people, so they naturally understood what Wage Wangyou's silence at this time meant.
Naturally, as a person in the game, He Qingshan sighed and said in a strange tone: "I am doing a thankless job. I am traveling around the country to make money for the rest of my life. I have to carry a blind man so far, and in the end I have to pay for it." Everyone is on guard against me. It’s really inhumane and unreasonable. What am I planning? Xiaocha and I are free and easy..."
"Okay, okay." Ye Xiayou was once again annoyed by the noise, "Why are the words so dense?"
He Qingshan, who was still dissatisfied, curled his lips and said, "If you don't keep me here, you will have a place to keep me. If you don't keep me anywhere, I will go home and open a butcher shop."
As he spoke, He Qingshan stuffed the faces on the table into his arms, and said aggressively, "Xiaocha, let's go, just think that we made friends accidentally, and all the friendship we have made over the years has been wasted."
He Qingshan walked out without looking back. Ye Sangen did not speak. Ye Xiayou listened quietly to this woman's performance. Even Xiao Cha, who had been with her day and night, did not follow her. It was obvious that everyone was interested in this storyteller. I don't really care about playing hard to get.
Hege Wangyou, on the other hand, couldn't bear it. He naturally knew the relationship between He Qingshan and the Ye family. When he was sent as an envoy to Dazhou, he stayed in the capital for several months and went in and out of the royal palace on Panshan Mountain that was no less tightly guarded than the palace. They were all accompanied by this storyteller who was still unknown at the time, which shows his status in the Ye family.
Therefore, Wage Wangyou tried to smooth things over and said: "It happened for a reason. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's a big matter and involves a lot. I just don't want to get involved too much, so I don't want you to be involved in this matter."
No matter from his tone or look, he could tell that something was unusual. He Qingshan, who had already walked to the door, looked at the slightly solemn atmosphere and said cautiously: "Then I'm leaving, Xiaocha, hurry up , let’s go.”
"no."
The person who spoke was still Ye Xiayou. Whether it was his long-standing reputation or the previous interactions, He Qingshan, who was deeply in awe of the second young lady of the Ye family, suddenly had a bitter look on his face, as if he was a stranger to this person. Anyone who has had too much contact with a woman will be afraid of the other person's aura. It has nothing to do with anything else. It's just pure fear, without any reason.
Anyway, after He Qingshan thought about it, in his mind, only the only bald female monk in Dazhou dared to quarrel and quarrel with this woman. Even the patron king who sat there without talking and was angry and self-proclaimed, all avoided this woman. the meaning of.
He Qingshan reluctantly said: "Why."
Ye Xiayou said forcefully: "Sit down."
The tone was strong and brooked no refutation.
He Qingshan's reluctance has turned into grievance.
Xiaocha gloated and joked softly, "Curiosity will kill you."
He Qingshan was unwilling to do so and muttered: "What's the point of being able to manipulate a weak woman all day long?"
The unabashed whispers naturally fell on the ears of several people in the room. Ye Sangen once again sarcastically said: "You are still a woman, and you wish you were more manly than men..."
But after Ye Xiayou slightly tilted his head, Ye Sangen shut up in a wise manner.
Turning to Hege Wangyou again, Ye Xiayou asked: "Tell me, what is it?"
I don't know if he was thinking about how to answer, but Waka Wangyou was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Do you know this person, Hui Hui Doman?"
But before anyone in the room could answer, Hege Wangyou added: "His name in Dazhou is Chao Shenzhou."
Apparently this name stunned a few people.
Fuying, a small country across the sea from the Great Zhou Dynasty, has admired the culture of the Central Plains since ancient times. All dynasties only sent envoys across the sea to the west.
More than thirty years ago, the emperor of the small kingdom of Fuying, the ancient emperor Xiong Yan of the ancient tree, sent a delegation of a hundred people to visit Dazhou. Doman, who was only in his early twenties and in high spirits at the time, was one of them.
After spending nearly ten years, this Fuying native changed his name to China and traveled around the Great Zhou Dynasty. He visited the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, visited all the famous people in the world, learned a lot of economics, absorbed all the outstanding learning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and gathered the best of hundreds of schools of thought. His achievements and reputation are comparable to those of everyone in the world.
It is precisely because of this young man from Fuying that the hundreds of schools of thought contending for thousands of years in the Great Zhou Dynasty have another miscellaneous subject. This means that in addition to the familiar three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, the Yin-Yang family, farmers, military strategists, Mohists, Legalists, and doctors are all present. Jia Jia and other unknown sects were all roughly involved in miscellaneous studies, and Daoman, a miscellaneous scholar, was the number one scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
So much so that at that time, some young elites in the Great Zhou Dynasty followed suit and learned a lot of things.
So much so that when he bid farewell to the Zhou Dynasty and returned to Fuying, the late emperor Wu Jiandi, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, was reluctant to let this talented scholar go overseas, and even promised him a high official and generous salary to retain him.
It shows how famous this person is.
After that, he returned to Fuying and ended this extremely magical legend.
How can people not be surprised when hearing about such a legendary figure in Fuying, a master who once founded a doctrine in a foreign country?
To be honest, Ye Xiayou's knowledge, tracing back to its origins, is inextricably linked to this short-lived miscellany.
Ye Xiayou said: "Why are you talking about him for no reason?"
It can still be seen from the expression that Waka Wangyou, who was full of worries, pondered over and over again, and finally made his words clear.
"Chaoshenzhou came to Dazhou last year with the intention of overthrowing Dazhou's regime."
One stone stirs up thousands of waves, which is earth-shattering.
Except for Xiao Cha who didn't quite understand the significance of it, Ye Sangen and He Qingshan were still immersed in the impact of these words. Ye Xia'er had already turned his thoughts around and suddenly asked in a confused manner: "Jiugong Who is Yan? What are the identities of General Ling, Ningzhiyu and Chao Shenzhou?"
Wage Wangyou, who didn't expect such a question, was stunned when he heard it, "Do you know each other?"
From this reply alone, even if there was no need to explain it, it seemed that the two siblings had thought about it thousands of times and understood it instantly.
Hege Wangyou added: "Jiugong Yan is the wife of Pao Hui Daoman, and General Ling and Ningzhiyu are the apprentices of Pao Hui Daoman, but between them..."
Naturally understanding the ethics inherited from the thousands of years of history and culture of China, Wage Wangyou didn't know how to explain to these people the relationship that was constantly being cut and messed up, and finally he could only mutter: "It's very messy. "
It’s just that Ye Xiayou and Ye Sangeng, who had never cared about their relationship, are becoming more and more surprised the more they think about it. What happened over a month ago, starting from meeting Jiugongyan in Fenshuiling, to the overall situation and plan mentioned by Jiugongyan on Wudang Mountain, has finally begun to unfold. What General Ling Ningzhiyu and the two did in Phoenix City, those unrelated clues were connected together at this moment, and they were all intricately connected to the Chao Shenzhou that was famous in the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, their plans in the watershed and Phoenix City are not yet clear, but the Fuying people from China, who are called Chao Shenzhou, have played a big game in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Naturally, they didn't know what the two siblings were thinking. Hege Wangyou continued: "There is news that they first established the Jiuju sect of the Protestant religion in Dazhou, believing in Fuying evil god, and then began to cultivate a kind of spirit that can cause people to die. The hallucinogenic herb, called Nankezi, controlled both physically and mentally, and then invaded and occupied the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The more he listened, the more frightened He Qingshan was. He really regretted playing hard-to-get. His shoulders slumped, as if he was about to cry, "Have you read too much of the story and made it up to be true?"
The joke that was obviously not funny at all caused the storyteller to accept the fact that she least wanted to accept.
Ye Mingeng looked solemn and said: "This matter must be reported to the court. This is not as simple as that group of mysterious people chasing you back then."
"The hunt for me back then was planned by Fuying Daoman and Fuying General Matsuo Chansheng." Waka Wangyou said, "There was also secret support from Queen Lifeng Luoying, whom my father, the Queen, came to canonize."
Several people in the room took a breath of cold air.
Is this preparation for rebellion or preparation for invasion? From the general to the queen, they have already emptied the Fuying imperial power, so why did they start to invade?
"Hao Hui Daoman, who has been regarded as the emperor's advisor by the late emperor for several years, has joined forces with the general and the queen to control 70% of Fuying's military power. My father is now under house arrest in the palace. I came to Zhou this time to fight for the family. In a situation where no one can survive, we sacrificed many warriors to break out of the siege. We only wanted to use the strength of the Zhou Dynasty to restore the prestige of our country."
Ye Xiayou had a gloomy look on his face, and he spoke after a long time, "What should Brother Feng and Brother Yi do? If the imperial court sends troops to exterminate this group of thieves, but Brother Feng and Brother Yi haven't come back yet, what should we do?"
It was the first time that Ye Xieyou, whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, showed some panic.
Ye Sangen frowned and said with a rare reproach: "Tell me what you are doing all this."
Knowing that he had not thought carefully at the time, Ye Xiayou accepted his brother's accusation calmly, but still muttered: "I definitely have my own plan."
Ye Sangen waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, tomorrow Hege will go to the palace to see the saint and explain the matter. We will go back to Panshan to discuss it with our families."
Obviously they didn't know what the two siblings meant. Before He Qingshan, who was full of doubts, could ask, Ye Xiayou spoke first: "I'm not going home, I have something to do."
"You've got something wrong with you."
This was the first time he had swore at his sister, and Ye Sangen said angrily: "What else do you want to do? Now this matter is no longer a simple Jianghu complex, it has become an issue between countries. How many times have Yue Qingfeng and Brother Yi been raped by you?" After saying this, you haven’t realized the seriousness of the problem? What else are you going to do? Can you be more careful?”
Ye Xiayou just kept silent.
