Li Ye returned to the post house and immediately found Zhou Yicheng and asked, "Who is Angel?"
Zhou Yicheng smiled and said: "She is the priestess of Dayun Temple. She is a very nice person. She treats the poor and helps orphans and widows. It is impossible for her to steal horses!"
"Zoroastrianism still has female priests?" Li Ye asked again.
"At first there were none, but men were worried about their wives and daughters going to temples for fear of being defiled by priests. Later, there were female priests who specialized in preaching to women and treating diseases."
"She has many subordinates? She also has subordinates who are highly skilled in martial arts." Li Ye asked again.
"Maybe not!"
Zhou Yicheng scratched his head and said: "Everyone knows that she only has two assistants. I have seen them both. They are both middle-aged women and there is no young one."
"That's strange. I saw dozens of her subordinates, all young women, some in white and some in black. They all covered their faces with gauze scarves."
Zhou Yicheng looked confused. He had never heard of what Li Ye said. Li Ye knew that there would be no results from asking, so he sighed and said, "Thank you very much, Zhou Yicheng. I'll go and find out more."
"I'm so sorry!"
Zhou Yi Cheng bowed, turned around and left. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Li Ye: "When the young master said it, I remembered a rumor."
"What rumors?"
"There are rumors that Angel is a member of the Holy Maiden Society."
"What is the Society of Saints?" Li Ye asked with a smile.
"The Holy Sisters is one of the three major forces of Zoroastrianism. The Illuminati is a force on the Persian side. The Zoroastrian forces on the Sogdian side are divided into two, one is the Mutt Order and the other is the Holy Sisters."
"Are priestesses and saintesses the same thing?"
Zhou Yicheng shook his head, "The priestess was actually created by the Mutt Society to fight against the Saintess Society. Later, the priestess became the mediator between the two major forces, but many priestesses were won over by the Saintess Society.
, the two factions have been fighting secretly, it’s quite complicated.”
Li Ye nodded, "I understand, thank you!"
Zhou Yicheng left, and Li Ye sat in the room thinking about the ins and outs of this matter. He gradually figured out two things. The ten caliphate gems were not only peeked at by Abbas the Great Eater, but also by other forces.
, such as the Society of Saints.
King Murdo's sister Alain is probably also a member of the Saints' Society, so the Saints' Society knows about these ten gems.
Another thing is that among the wives and daughters of Murdo or Arole, there are also members of the Saints' Society, so the Saints' Society knows that the thing is in their hands.
Li Ye walked to the window with his hands behind his back and gently stroked the ten gems in the small leather bag on his chest. How many countries and dignitaries were fighting for these top treasures, the Boer War for diamonds, and the Heshi Bi.
war, I wonder if those women will believe that the gems in the gold box are real?
At noon, Zhou Yicheng hurried over and handed a letter to Li Ye, "Someone just sent it!"
Li Ye opened the letter, and there was only one line on it, "Please come to the Snow Mountain Tavern, Little Golden Room."
Just looking at the name of the Snow Mountain Tavern, Li Ye thought it was a tavern. After asking, he found out that this was actually the largest and most luxurious tavern in Suiye, located on the most prosperous and lively Atami Street in Suiye City.
The Snow Mountain Tavern is different from the restaurants in the Central Plains. It is completely composed of independent buildings, just like the independent domes on the grassland. It is surrounded by walls and has almost twenty single houses.
A Turkic waiter led Li Ye to a splendid hut in the middle, "This is the little golden house. Distinguished guests, please come in!"
Two plump young Hu Ji stepped forward, holding Li Ye's arms on the left and right, and walked towards the house. The house seemed to be built with gold bricks, shining inside and outside, up and down.
It shines with brilliant golden light and is inlaid with countless broken gems.
Walking into the inner room, the high dome was also shining with golden light. The floor was covered with thick and soft Persian carpets. There were several large pillows placed above the steps. Lying was a young and beautiful woman with a veil on her body.
Wearing a thin layer of gauze and a colorful skirt, the skirt is studded with sparkling gems.
Behind her stood eight young and beautiful maids, who also wore veils on their faces and thin gauze on their bodies.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore. I returned the dagger to you in the morning." The young woman spoke fluent Chinese with a very soft voice.
Li Ye stared at this woman blankly. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she became. An idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out, "Why is it you?"
He finally remembered that she was the woman he met at Jinshan Castle, Absi's wife, Princess Geluolu. The romantic debt he had left behind when he was hot-headed, he thought he would never cross paths with her again in this life.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, we actually met him again in Suiye City.
The young woman immediately sat up and said coquettishly: "You just think about it now, have you forgotten me a long time ago?"
Li Ye had a headache for a while, and she was the woman he least wanted to meet. According to the rules of the grassland, if he killed Arbus and took possession of her, then she would be his woman.
Of course, he is not a grassland person and does not have to follow this rule, but the problem is that the other person's first time and his own first time all happened to her.
Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder I looked so familiar to you this morning."
"Fortunately, you haven't completely forgotten me!"
The young woman waved her hands, and all the maids around them retreated. She stood up and walked forward, threw herself into Li Ye's arms, hugged him tightly, pressed her face against his chest, and looked up at Li Ye, her jewel-like eyes twinkling.
Bright light.
"I've been thinking about you!"
The bold and passionate confession, the white and plump body, the fragrant hair, and the charming smile made Li Ye a little intoxicated.
Suddenly, a slender and graceful body flashed in Li Ye's mind. He bit his lip hard. The pain made his passion subside, and he gently pushed the other person away.
Li Ye smiled lightly and said: "You don't even know my name. I killed your husband and three hundred of his men, and forced you to do so. What do you want from me?"
In an instant, the charming smile on the young woman's face disappeared. She took two steps back and said coldly: "Am I that lowly in your heart?"
Li Ye shook his head, "That's not what I meant!"
The woman sneered: "Do you think I seduced you for another purpose? To get your gems? The bulging items on your chest should be ten real gems!"
Li Ye still shook his head, "You're overthinking it. The gold box is sealed, how can I change it?"
The young woman snorted disdainfully, "Only those idiots from the Saintess Society would believe it. They are so self-righteous that they think you don't know anything. The moment you put the gold box on the plate, I understood that you had already put the real gems."
After it was replaced, you re-sealed the gold box, wasn’t it? You couldn’t just hand it over without looking at anything!”
Li Ye took off the small leather pouch from his neck and said with a smile: "You are right, this is a real gem. If you want it, I can give you one."
The woman smiled slyly and said, "You want to bribe me and drag me into the water?"
"Forget it! What color do you like? There are four colors: red, blue, green and yellow."
The woman sighed, "You killed Absi and took possession of me. According to the rules of the Geluolu people, I am your woman. In the eyes of us Geluolu people, this is a matter of course. We don't even have a father."
You force me to remarry, why do you look down on me so much?"
"Let's talk about gems first!"
Li Ye quickly changed the subject, "Only you will I give her this gem."
This sentence made the young woman feel a little more comfortable. She thought about it and said, "I want red gems!"
Li Ye took out a rose ruby and handed it to her. The woman's eyes lit up. She took the gem and held it in her hands. Her eyes were filled with intoxication. She murmured to herself, "How can there be such a beautiful red color?"
"What is the Saint Maiden?" Li Ye asked again.
There was a sadness in the woman's eyes, "I thought you would ask my name first?"
Women's leaping thinking always catches people off guard. Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "If you are willing to tell me."
"You want to know?"
Li Ye nodded, and the woman said softly: "My name is Pogo Jinshan Ling, but you don't need to know that my family members all call me A Ling, and you can also call me that."
