Actually, whether it is Qiao Yan or Xiao Yanzi, their biggest flaw is——
No matter what his identity is, he will definitely have a meaningless... quarrel with Guan Hongye, just like an quarrel with two children.
She sighed and interrupted their conversation: "Your Highness, don't worry about me. Master Qiantose has asked someone to follow me. You know what Dongchang is capable of."
Shangguan Hongye rolled his eyes at her with a gloomy face: "You think I'm worried about you. If you're going to die, wouldn't it mean that the prince is proud of you for nothing!"
After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
Good intentions are regarded as donkey liver and lungs!
Ming Lanruo looked at his back in confusion: "What's wrong with this man?"
They were originally here to attend the murderous Hongmen Banquet. Why did Shangguan Hongye, the unprofitable guy who didn't get up early, look really worried about her?
Qiao Yan looked at Shangguan Hongye's back indifferently, wondering what else could be wrong with him, it was just a shame.
Shangguan Hongye looked down upon the little empress who once had her pearl covered in dust, but now that she has lost it, she starts to miss her.
That thief Shangguan Hongye is thinking about his dazzling little girl again, but that idiot probably doesn't know his own feelings yet, so he behaves so awkwardly and slutfully.
But he would not say these words.
Qiao Yan said calmly: "Didn't he make it very clear? The little empress is still of great use value to him."
He calmly applied eye drops to Shangguan Hongye.
By the way, it deepened the bad impression of that idiot in Ming Lanruo's eyes.
Ming Lanruo smiled calmly: "That's right."
Hasn't His Highness King Qin always been like this? She worked so hard to climb up, and her current status is naturally different in his eyes.
She didn't hesitate any longer and looked towards the island in the distance, telling Qiao Yan the speculations Shangguan Hongye had just mentioned.
Qiao Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes behind the mask: "After we go to the island, you and I will try to be inseparable. The island... I will take a closer look after my subordinates go up there."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "Okay."
When they arrived at the island, Magistrate Tang got off the boat with a smile, and the work of welcoming him was bustling with activity, plus the hustle and bustle of guests from all walks of life.
The storm that happened on the ship just now was unprecedented.
Ming Lanruo, Shangguan Hongye and the others got off the boat and saw lush trees, flowers and grass all around, which looked like a paradise in the cave.
It was an eye-opener for those of them who came from the capital. After the celestial phenomena changed dramatically this year, the seasons were distorted, and the originally lean season was postponed to early June.
The growth of all things has been delayed, and even the capital city does not have such beautiful flowers and plants, not to mention being so far north, where the snow originally only melted in May.
"The temperature on this island... seems to be higher than elsewhere, more like what it should be like in normal June." Ming Lanruo looked around and said softly.
Qiao Yan naturally noticed everything. He was calculating something silently, and his fingertips hanging by his side were calculating quickly and calmly.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a peach grove with lush flowers. The peach blossoms were as bright as clouds.
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but be amazed when she saw it: "It's so beautiful."
Magistrate Tang smiled and said: "Everyone, this is the ten-mile peach grove of my little girl Bijun. Last time she collided with His Highness King Qin and Concubine Ming, and then specially placed many charcoal basins in the peach grove. It happened to be that today the ten-mile peach grove was in full bloom.
The flowers are blooming, and I wish you all good luck every day and a bright future."
Ming Lanruo's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she smiled: "It turned out to be Miss Tang Er's handiwork. It's really majestic."
If you want to use a charcoal pot to promote peach blossoms, you don't know how many charcoal pots are needed to do it, and it must be smokeless silver charcoal, otherwise the whole forest will be filled with the smell of charcoal smoke.
Is this Tang Zhifu really afraid that they don't know that he is so rich that he can rival the country and make the royal family ashamed?
The extremely suspicious Emperor should really come and see what the officials who really want to rebel look like!
Shangguan Hongye's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said calmly: "Miss Tang Er is indeed interested."
It will take a lot of time to use charcoal pots to encourage peach blossoms to bloom, and they must be arranged long in advance.
Tang Bijun was obviously celebrating the birthday of the prefect of Tang Dynasty to encourage the blooming of peach blossoms. Now he was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, but he was spending so much thought specifically to apologize to them.
However, he had no intention of revealing this, and just paid attention to the surrounding situation.
The group of people walked deep into the peach forest.
Magistrate Tang was asked by the housekeeper to make other preparations, leaving his eldest son, Ruan family, and his own children to accompany Shangguan Hongye, Ming Lanruo and the others.
Ming Lanruo looked at the peach blossoms blooming, picked up a petal at random, and said softly: "The flowers are blooming under the brocade, the rich wine and meat are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. The Tang family really interprets these words well."
The Tang family has spare money and manpower to do the business of opening a ten-mile peach blossom forest. The victims of the slums on the streets exchange their children for food, and there are also those victims who have disappeared somewhere...
Calling them beasts is an insult to beasts.
"They use charcoal pots to encourage the ten-mile peach forest and these exotic flowers and plants to grow, not just to show their wealth." Qiao Yan suddenly said coldly.
Ming Lanruo was a little curious: "Why is that?"
Qiao Yan stretched out his hand and kneaded the formula with his long fingers, with an unpredictable look on his face: "A, B, B, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui, there are ten heavenly stems. Yin and Yang have their own positions. The odd number is yang, and the yin is in the even position. Send troops to conquer Anbang.
Qimen, seeking wealth and settling down to see Dunjia."
Ming Lanruo was a little stunned. She felt that the person in front of her had the feeling of a mysterious alchemist.
"Master Chitose hangs out with the group of Taoist priests who practice Taoism and make alchemy every day, so you people are talking about it all day long? What are you talking about?"
Shangguan Hongye didn't understand and glanced at him impatiently.
Qiao Yan said indifferently: "What I mean is that this entire island is the formation of Qimen Dunjia. The flowers and trees on the island are arranged according to the formation of Qimen Dunjia. Even the position of the water flow in the lake is part of the formation.
"
As he said that, he glanced at King Qin: "If someone hadn't opened the door of life and let us in, if someone like King Qin, who didn't understand anything, broke in privately, we would have died if we entered the door of death by mistake.
"
Shangguan Hongye, who was ridiculed for his ignorance, suddenly looked a little ugly: "You..."
"Qi Men Dun Jia?! In other words, they use charcoal basins to stimulate flowers and trees in order to activate the formation?!" Ming Lanruo frowned upon hearing this.
She didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in the Tang Mansion who knew how to use machine formations!
No wonder, this island seems to have flaws in its defenses, but in fact it is full of traps!
Shangguan Hongye calmed down: "So, I'm afraid that your and my previous plans will change. If there are many agencies here, once our people go to the island to inquire about the situation and get confused, not only will they be in danger, but they may also alert the Tang Prefect.
Centaur!"
If the disappearance of Ming Guogong is related to Tang Zhifu, and Tang Zhifu colludes with the prince, then if they fall out, Tang Zhifu will definitely kill them!
Ming Lanruo thought for a while: "There are many birthday guests today. They will definitely close many formations on the islands to prevent guests from accidentally falling into traps. Therefore, our people should be careful, and we may not be unable to find out the news!"
Qiao Yan added calmly: "I will protect the little empress, you don't have to worry. I know a little bit about Qimen Dunjia. Although the formation on this island is mysterious, you can break it as long as you find the formation eye. If it doesn't work, you can break it."
You can break out even if you find a way out."
Shangguan Hongye heard this and looked at Ming Lanruo looking at Qiao Yan. He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Yes, you are really capable. I hope to find out the news later. Don't underestimate the enemy in the formation!"
"
After that, he rolled his sleeves angrily and walked away first.
Ming Lanruo's eyes flashed and she looked at the tall, slender man beside her. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is there anything else you don't know? Can you tell fortunes?"
Now think about it, when Cang Qiao took her to the flower market and dressed up like a Taoist priest, it was not against the law at all. It was partly because he really knew what he was doing!
She remembered that there were many bookcases in Cang Qiao's room, and one of the large cabinets contained books on Qi Men Dun Jia, Five Elements and Bagua, numerology and other books related to alchemy and Taoism.
At that time, I just thought that he was learning something about Taoism to please the emperor.
Now it seems that he has been concentrating on studying and preparing for rebellion. Otherwise, how could he learn anything related to military affairs.
Qiao Yan looked at her and smiled slightly: "There are many things that I don't know how to do, such as eating, or just getting started, so please give me some advice."
