Chapter 255 Receiving the Red Pavilion (3)
The Sky Cliff is thousands of miles away from the capital and eight hundred miles away from Xiliang.
The Hong Pavilion is not as powerful as Yun Qianyue imagined, like the legendary Beggars' Sect. The Hong Pavilion is not many, but everyone is carefully selected, outstanding and cultivated. Everyone has an excellent skill. Although there are not many people, they are spread all over the world. Each city is only one or two, but it is usually organized by ten or hundreds of people. Everyone swears to be loyal to the Hong Pavilion.
The people of the Red Pavilion took the instructions of the Pavilion Master as the imperial edict. The Pavilion Master had seven elders under them. The seven elders were in charge of seven small pavilions, and the seven small pavilions were intelligence, secret spies, secret stakes, martial arts, punishments, and financial resources. There was also a department that surprised Yun Qianyue, that was, there was an army in the Red Pavilion. Although there was only 10,000 troops, it was enough to shock Yun Qianyue.
Because she knew that the royal family did not allow civilians or organizations to privately raise troops. Even the vassal kings in various places did not have real power in the army. There were generals stationed in the vassal kings to dispatch their troops and were fully in power under the command of the emperor, in order to prevent the vassal kings from causing trouble.
She couldn't help but guess who her mother was? She actually kept the army privately?
After her mother passed away, the seven elders found a substitute to retire, namely Hua Sheng and seven others. Hua Sheng was in charge of information, and was at the top of the seven. The seven reported to her every day that all aspects of information came from various places. Hua Luo was in charge of secret spies, Ling Lian was in charge of secret stakes, Cang Lan was the most skilled in martial arts among the seven people, in charge of martial arts, Yi Xue was in charge of punishment, Feng Yan was in charge of financial resources, and Feng Lu, the youngest, was in charge of that army.
Yun Qianyue filtered the information she received in her mind and lowered her head to ponder. She thought that her mother must have an unusual identity. The main pavilion of Hong Pavilion is located at the junction of Tiansheng and Nanliang. What is the purpose of it?
The seven people looked at Yun Qianyue in thought, all looking at her quietly, no one disturbed her. Although they had known that the rumors were wrong, the little master could not be a playboy who could not read the big words and not recognize the arrogant and domineering people, seeing Yun Qianyue today was beyond their imagination. While admiring, they also had a little more closeness and love.
After a long time, Yun Qianyue looked up and asked Hua Sheng, "Do you have any records of all things in the Hong Pavilion in your hands?"
"Go back to the little master, some! But on the Sky Cliff, I originally wanted to bring it to the little master, but I was eager to come and forgot to bring it. I once saw it and could tell you a rough idea. Otherwise, I would tell you about the deeds of the Red Pavilion to the little master over the years?" Hua Sheng looked at Yun Qianyue.
"No need. Just wait for when you will go back to Motian Cliff and bring it to me." Yun Qianyue glanced at Tiansai, put the night pearl in her hand into the brocade box, and asked again: "When did you come to the capital and where are you staying now?"
"The seven subordinates came to the capital two days ago. Now they are sitting in Yanliu Tower!" Hua Sheng said.
"Yanliu Tower? That simple Yanliu Tower?" Yun Qianyue was stunned.
Hua Sheng nodded, "Yanliu Tower is mixed with fish and dragons, which is convenient for people to hide their eyes and ears. The subordinates were disguised when they left. In addition, Yanliu Tower is the industry of Hongge, so they are more at ease."
Hongge also operates brothels! Yun Qianyue thought about this and felt that the best place to collect information was brothels, and as Hua Sheng said, mixed with fish and dragons, which was convenient for people to hide their eyes and ears. She asked in confusion: "Is Su Su also a member of Hongge?"
"Back to the little master, yes!" Hua Sheng nodded.
"What's going on with Nan Lingrui and Su Su?" Yun Qianyue didn't expect that Su Su, who was always talking about Nan Lingrui, turned out to be from Hongge. She was confused about Nan Lingrui.
That day in Zuixiang Tower, she saw that the fan that Nan Lingrui was holding was painted by the world's number one painter, but two days ago, she saw that the jade fan was her painting method. She thought she hadn't seen it clearly before, but now she thought about it, but she was not. Her eyes were not that bad, and she never remembered everything from seeing it. Moreover, Nan Lingrui's fan was definitely the same fan! This is what puzzled her.
Could it be that the fan is actually both positive and negative? On one side is the painting method of the world's number one painter, and on the other side is her painting method?
"Captain Rui of Nanliang went to see Su Su inexplicably! There is nothing else to listen to Su Su singing and playing the piano every day. My subordinates have also asked Su Su, and Su Su didn't know what the Prince of Nanliang meant at the moment!" Hua Sheng said.
"Su Su said about Nan Lingrui's fan, what's the difference?" Yun Qianyue asked again.
"I have never said it!" Hua Sheng shook his head.
Yun Qianyue frowned.
Hua Luo looked at Yun Qianyue and asked, "My little master, what's wrong with this Prince Rui of Nanliang? Is it bad for you?"
"No! It's just that Nan Lingrui has some things about me, I don't understand yet! It's not a big deal. I'll ask." Yun Qianyue shook her head and looked at the few people, "How long are you going to stay in the capital?"
Hua Sheng was stunned, "Isn't you going to let us stay by your side?"
"No need yet. There are too many people staring at me, and everyone around me is familiar with me. If you suddenly appear by your side, you will definitely bring attention to investigate in secret. It is not good for you to be by my side. I don't want people to know about your relationship with me at the moment." Yun Qianyue said.
The seven people nodded in unison. Hua Sheng said, "We will follow the instructions of the little master!"
"How long have the Seven Elders retired? How long have you taken over the Red Pavilion?" Yun Qianyue asked.
"The Seven Elders retired last year. After we came out of the Seven Aristocratic families, we have been practicing martial arts with the Seven Elders and have been familiar with things from the Red Pavilion since we were young. The Seven Elders are not a peaceful master. They take us around for most of the time every year, and they actually spend very little time staying on the Sky Cliff. However, the Seven Elders have never brought us to this Tiansheng Capital City." Hua Sheng said.
"Oh?" Yun Qianyue looked at Hua Sheng, "You have never been to Tiansheng Capital?"
"Yes! The seven elders have never set foot in Tiansheng Capital since their master passed away." Hua Sheng said.
Yun Qianyue nodded, thinking that the seven elders were probably afraid of being hurt by the scene. She thought that since these seven people have been following the seven elders since childhood and are extremely familiar with the Hong Pavilion, it means that the Hong Pavilion is now under their control, so they no longer have to be familiar with the Hong Pavilion. After that, they thought, "This is it! Although you can't follow me, you can stay in the capital for a longer time. There are still a few days left to be the Qiqiao Festival. After the Qiqiao Festival, the old emperor's fifty-fifth birthday will be, and the days ahead will be very lively. You can also take the opportunity to play."
"Okay!" Feng Lu immediately smiled happily.
Although Hua Sheng and others did not scream like Feng Lu, they nodded happily between their eyebrows and eyes.
"Let's go! Go and burn paper for my mother, and then we go down the mountain!" Yun Qianyue stood up and patted the dust on her body.
"My little master, you don't need to burn paper. You don't know that when my master buried Yunwu Mountain, she was removed by the seven elders on the second day. My master's tomb was not in this Yunwu Mountain at all!" Hua Sheng said: "I want you to come every year and stick to the twelve zodiac signs. I don't want to be suspected! I also want to wait for my subordinates for twelve years to find my little master here."
"Hmm? Where is my mother's coffin? It's on the Sky Cliff?" Yun Qianyue had never thought about this.
"I was not on the Sky Cliff, there was only one painting of the master. The seven elders had never told us. The subordinates didn't know where they were." Hua Sheng shook his head.
The rest of the people shook their heads together.
"I have been burning paper for so many years with me." Yun Qianyue pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled. After saying that, she took out the prayer talisman embroidered by the queen and shook it, and sighed: "I am sorry for my aunt! And my little maids are all red in their eyes and can't waste it! Since my mother's tomb is not here, it's her death day, so let's burn it here!"
After the words came, she took out a flint from her arms and ignited several prayer talismans.
The seven people immediately lined up and bowed to the burning prayer talismans!
Yun Qianyue quietly watched the prayer talisman burned to ashes and said to the seven people: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain!"
"Yes!" The seven people nodded in unison.
Yun Qianyue lightly tapped her toes and used her light skills along the way she came to float down the mountain. The seven people immediately looked at her light skills with admiration, looked at her, and quickly used her light skills to follow her.
It is said that going up the mountain is easy and difficult to go down the mountain, but Yun Qianyue felt that going down the mountain was extremely relaxed, and her mood was incomparable to the past. This trip to Yunwu Mountain gave her great gains, no less than the joy of forcing the old emperor to abolish the ancestral teachings outside the Meridian Gate that day.
Half an hour later, Yun Qianyue got down Yunwu Mountain first. She did not leave immediately, but waited for the seven people behind her.
After a stick of incense, seven people went down the mountain one after another.
The first one is naturally Canglan, who has the best martial arts skills, the second one is Hua Luo, the third one is Hua Sheng, the fourth one is Feng Yan, the fifth one is Ling Lian and Yi Xue side by side, and the last one is Feng Lu.
After this comparison, Yun Qianyue immediately divided the martial arts level of seven people. She smiled and nodded to several people. Just as she was about to fly away again, Hua Sheng suddenly grabbed her sleeve and whispered: "My master, there are people at the foot of the mountain!"
"Hmm?" Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes.
"It is a black carriage, which seems to be the carriage of Prince Jing of Prince Rong's Mansion." Hua Sheng said.
Yun Qianyue looked along Hua Sheng's gaze, and she saw a carriage faintly listening to the north corner of Yunwu Mountain. Through Yunwu, she couldn't see clearly. The carriage was silent. If Hua Sheng reminded her, it would be difficult for her to notice. She frowned. How could Rong Jing's carriage be here? Hasn't he already welcomed the Seventh Prince back to Beijing? She waved her hand to several people and whispered: "You go down the mountain later, I'll go over and take a look! When I leave first, you will leave separately."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
Yun Qianyue walked towards the foot of the North Mountain. As soon as she took a step, Hua Luo suddenly whispered: "If you are... if you go out in the future, it is better to wear a veil..." The sentence was divided into two paragraphs. After the words, he immediately turned his head and his face turned slightly red.
