After finishing her work today, Elizabeth put on her clothes and wanted to go for a horse ride on the pasture. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Tie Mo walking over with two people. Elizabeth shook the horse's reins and ran over quickly, impatiently.
Shouted: "Hey, stop, I said before that the funds are a bit insufficient, when will you approve it?"
Tie Mo's eyes were dizzy and he couldn't help but hide away. He secretly thought to himself, "What kind of batch should I approve? With your speed, how much money can you spend?"
"We'll talk about this later. Where is Dai Qimeng?"
"She is cooking in the east courtyard!"
It can be said that in the entire armory, there were only two young women, Dai Qimeng and Elizabeth, so they were very familiar with each other. Elizabeth didn't think much about it, she just thought about how to get more money from Tie Mo, so she forgot about the horse riding and walking.
When he got there, he followed Tie Mo towards the east courtyard, muttering about money as he walked, which made Tie Mo very annoyed.
Arriving in the east courtyard, as Elizabeth said, Dai Qimeng was really cooking in front of the stove. Dressed in a floral cloth jacket and wearing silk on her head, she looked like a peasant woman. Dai Qimeng held a spoon, her expression was extremely serious, and she was beautiful for a while.
A look of confusion flashed across his face, then he picked up the small porcelain jar next to him and sprinkled a spoonful of seasoning into it. Tie Mo's scalp went numb when he saw it. Is that salt? Can you eat it if you put so much salt in it?
He turned his head, looked at Elizabeth with a strange expression, and asked seriously: "Has she cooked before?"
"No, I just learned to cook recently, and I was just thinking about coming over to try it with her after riding a horse. I heard that today I made mutton stick bones, which are delicious!" Elizabeth didn't know the secret inside, and she licked her expectantly.
He licked his lips. Tie Mo coughed twice in embarrassment. Dai Qimeng's cooking skills only deceived Elizabeth, a foreign idiot. Even looking at her cooking skills made her tremble with fear. To eat, it also requires courage.
Hearing the sound of coughing, Dai Qimeng turned around instinctively and saw that it was Tie Mo and the others. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she almost unconsciously hid the salt shaker behind her, "Hey, why are you doing this, Superintendent?"
The time has come, but what orders do you have for the Ordnance Depot?"
Tie Mo stared at the meat in the pot with strange eyes, and said with a meaningful smile: "Miss Dai, your cooking skills are very good. Haha, I am not looking for you today about the Ordnance Department, but because I have other things to discuss.
Talk, what, let’s just stand here and chat?”
When mentioning cooking skills, Dai Qimeng's face turned even redder. He quickly put down the salt shaker and raised his hand to signal: "I'm sorry, I'm rude. I'm here to invite the supervisor. I just happened to get some good tea from Mr. Sun. Let's drink and chat."
"Well, I see that the meat is almost cooked. Why don't you invite me to try it?" Tie Mo deliberately joked, which made Dai Qimeng feel embarrassed. She rolled her eyes in a coquettish way, turned around and walked back into the house.
Tie Mo then walked in, and several guards stood guard outside knowingly, but Elizabeth, a foreign girl, didn't understand these rules, so she raised her legs and followed him in.
Sometimes Tie Mo also admires the woman Dai Qimeng. No matter where she goes, no matter what environment she is in, this woman seems to be able to take good care of herself. Just like now, she can take care of an ordinary room.
Simple yet elegant, the three of them sat at the square table. Dai Qimeng made tea with his own hands. Even Elizabeth drank it with gusto. Dai Qimeng was a very particular woman. As long as she was with her, she always felt very happy. Of course, the chef
Art is her only regret.
After pouring a cup of tea, Dai Qimeng asked softly: "Supervisor, can you tell me what happened now? I think I have a good idea."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. You should be aware of the recent turmoil in the city, right? I checked, and found out that the people behind the incident were the remnants of the Jin Chan Sect. Thinking of what happened in Yuci County, I felt a little strange, so I
I came to ask you to see if there are any omissions!" Tie Mo looked at Dai Qimeng with a complicated expression. Although some words were not stated clearly, I believe Dai Qimeng, a smart woman, can understand it.
Sure enough, Dai Qimeng frowned slightly and her expression changed. She sat quietly on the soft cushion, like a quietly blooming peony. After a while, she followed Tie Mo's words and continued: "Supervisor,
Do you mean that the trouble caused by the Jin Chan Cult has something to do with the slave family?"
"Whether it matters or not, Miss Dai knows best, doesn't she? At least, Tie doesn't think that the Jin Chan Cult dares to rebel and cause trouble in this area of northern Shanxi. He must have a plan. After thinking about it, he has something to do with the Jin Chan Cult.
The only one I have contacted is you, Miss Dai, right?"
After listening to Tie Mo's words, Dai Qimeng smiled slightly. The various amorous feelings were quite charming. Even Elizabeth, who was also a woman, was a little moved, not to mention Tie Mo, a hot-blooded man. She turned the tea cup with her delicate hands, and raised her eyebrows.
A faint hint of surprise flashed across his mind, "Supervisor, are you so sure that you have something to do with the slave family? What if you are wrong?"
Tie Mo did not answer directly, but instead smiled, "So what if I'm wrong? To put it bluntly, as long as Tie Mo wants, he can wipe out the remnants of the Jin Chan Sect at any time. However, if he doesn't mess with things
Clearly, there is a hidden danger after all, and I don’t want someone to come and make trouble all the time, what do you think?”
Dai Qimeng smiled and nodded. Instead, it was Elizabeth, holding the tea cup, looking at this and that. Until now, she didn't understand what the two were talking about. The two talked a lot, but it seemed like they didn't say anything.
.
"Supervisor, I believe you also know the origin of the Golden Cicada Sect. The Golden Cicada Sect, Maitreya Sect, Jade Buddhism, Holy Fire Sect, etc. are actually branches of the White Lotus Sect in the past, and they all belong to the White Lotus Sect. At that time, Emperor Taizu defeated the Tatars.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that the founding of the Ming Dynasty was the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect. The Red Scarf Army was the followers of the White Lotus Sect, but after the founding of the country, everyone knew what happened. Emperor Taizu knew how big the threat was from the White Lotus Sect, so he banned it
Teachings, gradually the White Lotus Sect could only be hidden underground. As time passed, changes occurred within the White Lotus Sect. Because of different ideas, they embarked on different paths. Some people established the Maitreya Sect and regarded themselves as the successors of the White Lotus, while others
That’s what Jin Chan teaches.”
"Although the two came from the same White Lotus Sect, they have never dealt with each other. However, whether it is the Maitreya Sect or the Golden Chan Sect, they have never given up the idea of merging. Especially now, the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and refugees are everywhere.
It is a good time to start a rebellion, and some people have even stronger ideas of merging. However, merging is not that easy. However, the White Lotus Sect had a sacred object called the White Lotus Heavenly Fire Order, but it was later lost. Now, Jin
The Cicada Sect and the Maitreya Sect have made an agreement that whoever can get the White Lotus Heavenly Fire Order will be the master."
Dai Qimeng spoke in detail, and Tie Mo listened very seriously, "So, Miss Dai is related to the White Lotus Sky Fire Order?"
Dai Qimeng did not deny it, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It is indeed related to the slave family. Does the supervisor still remember why Niu Jinxing asked the slave family to go to Yuci County? In fact, he should have another purpose, and he wants to find out from the slave family.
Clues to the holy object. Rumor has it that my father once saw the holy object when he was still alive."
"Oh? Did Mr. Dai really see the holy object back then?" Tie Mo squinted his eyes. Although he was asking, he felt in his heart that he should have seen it. If they were not sure, those people in the Jin Chan Sect would not go to war.
, those who went to northern Shanxi to make trouble, after all, the danger of making trouble in northern Shanxi was too great. Just as Tie Mo thought, Dai Qimeng nodded without hesitation, "Of course I have seen it, but this thing was accidentally picked up by my father.
It was obtained in a cave. At that time, my father did not know the importance of this object. He felt that this object was very strange, so he made a rubbing of it. As for the original object, it was broken due to inconvenient transportation."
"You don't have to believe it, Superintendent. There is no need for you to lie about this. At that time, my father just regarded the holy objects as ordinary jewelry and put the holy objects in the box. However, when passing through Mangshan Mountain, the box fell off the carriage and the holy objects were also stolen.
It broke into several parts. My father didn’t think much about it at the time. Later, after he got involved with the Golden Chan Cult, he realized how important this object was. Originally, no one should know about it, but the bad thing is that my father had made a rubbing of the sacred object.
Drawings, so some people felt that the holy object was in the hands of my father. Those people from the Jin Chan Sect came to Zhangbei to cause trouble. They probably came to the slave family. They should think they can get the White Lotus Heavenly Fire Order from the slave family!"
Tie Mo carefully observed the expression on Dai Qimeng's face. After watching it for a long time, he was not sure whether it was true or false. This woman was really too smart. I'm afraid she had already known that the troublemaker was a remnant of the Jin Chan Cult, but she still kept
She didn't say anything. If she didn't know, how could she have managed to organize her thoughts so smoothly in such a short period of time?
"The White Lotus Heavenly Fire Order is meaningless to this governor. Whether it is really broken or fake, it is just a tool. Miss Dai, since Mr. Dai left a rubbing of the sacred object back then, I guess you must also
Have you seen it? If you are asked to copy a fake, can you do it?" Tie Mo smiled with a ruthless look in his eyes. Since the White Lotus Sky Fire Order is so important to those people, he might as well take the opportunity to hook more people out.
Since the Jin Chan Sect has been able to hide some people in northern Shanxi for so long, what about the Maitreya Sect? Tiemo has reason to believe that there must be people from the Maitreya Sect hiding in northern Shanxi. Sooner or later, these hidden dangers will cause him trouble. Instead of
Let these people hide in the dark, it is better to fish them out. The White Lotus Sky Fire Order, the Golden Chan Sect will not hesitate to do this, and I believe the Maitreya Sect will also be moved.
Dai Qimeng figured out what Tie Mo was planning in an instant. At this time, she had to admire Tie Mo's courage and skill. He was indeed a hero who had fought out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In such an instant, he made the most effective move.
decision.
"It's just a fake. Of course the slave family can do it, but the slave family can't guarantee that they can deceive those people!" Dai Qimeng didn't think this fishing plan was very clever, because it was too obvious. Holy objects appeared in northern Shanxi, and this was Tie Mo.
His lair. It is extremely difficult to snatch sacred objects in a place like this. Those people from the Maitreya Sect are much more careful than those from the Jin Chan Sect. Will they be fooled?
"Miss Dai, you only need to get a counterfeit for me. As for the rest, you have your own arrangements. As long as this thing is really important to the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, then they will definitely be moved. Don't forget
Now, the Golden Cicada Sect is already taking action. From a certain perspective, the fact that the Golden Cicada Sect is so serious is also telling the people of the Maitreya Sect that the holy objects are really in your hands."
Dai Qimeng smiled and nodded without saying anything more. Since Tie Mo had already decided, she just had to do as he was told.
The chaos in Zhangbei is still going on, and it seems to have become more serious in the past two days. Although the officers and soldiers went everywhere to put out the fire, they could not cure it. After putting out the fire here, another fire started to break out there. In short, those who made trouble also learned to be smart.
.In this tense atmosphere, the work of the ordnance station is proceeding in an orderly manner, and there seems to be no impact here.
At noon, Dai Qimeng hurried back to her residence holding a brocade box. Someone greeted her along the way, but she just nodded lightly. In the brocade box, a piece of jade as white as snow was placed inside. The jade was like a blooming green lotus.
The center of the lotus is not a flower core, but a burning flame. Here is the legendary karma fire from heaven, which burns all evil in the world.
Looking at the White Lotus Sky Fire Order in front of her, Dai Qimeng felt uneasy. She didn't know whether her action this time was effective. If the news couldn't be spread, it would be meaningless. However, she couldn't do it too conspicuously, otherwise it would be useless.
People will believe it.
Xinlanfang, Zhangbei Nancheng, is a famous wealthy area in Zhangbeicheng. The houses here are vast and full of high walls and green tiles. Lin Qingyue did business in Zhangjiakou in his early years, and later purchased a house in Xinlanfang.
.In his opinion, the location here definitely has room for appreciation, and you can definitely make a profit by buying it.
As evening approached, Lin Qingyue was sitting in the hall drinking her favorite candied date porridge. Chen Qiu, an official, walked in from outside with an anxious look on his face. He opened his mouth but said nothing. Lin Qingyue frowned and waved.
He waved his hand and said to the servants in the room: "You have nothing to do here, please go down."
After the servants retreated, Lin Qingyue asked: "Have you found out? What do those people in Jin Chan's teaching want to do?"
"Envoy Lin Zuo, my subordinates have gotten some information. The Jin Chan Sect's big move this time seems to be directed at the Holy Sect's Sky Fire Order. Just now, An Qi, who was lurking in the Ordnance Station, also sent news that Dai Qimeng has something in his hand.
It looks a lot like the Sky Fire Order!"
"Holy object!"
A trace of surprise flashed across Lin Qingyue's face. She put down the bowl and frowned. The importance of the Sky Fire Order does not need to be described in detail. In the past, whoever held the Sky Fire Order was the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Now
, the Jin Chan Sect and the Maitreya Sect were dissatisfied with each other, and they had already secretly agreed that whoever takes the Sky Fire Order would be the master. No wonder the Jin Chan Sect rushed to cause such a big mess in Zhangbeicheng, it turned out that they came for the Sky Fire Order.
The Sky Fire Token is in Dai Qimeng's hands? Are the previous rumors true?
The temptation of the Sky Fire Order was really fatal. But Lin Qingyue remained patient and did not lose her reason. If the Sky Fire Order was false, and she acted impulsively and made trouble, the Maitreya Sect's many years of foundation in northern Shanxi would be wiped out.
Lin Qingyue was actually a little undecided about what to do next. The matter of the Sky Fire Order was so important that even he, the left envoy of the Holy Cult, did not dare to make a decision easily.
