I took the liberty to come here today, so please bear with me if I offend you."
"Your Majesty, where are you? Please come this way."
The two of them arrived in front of a quiet room one after another. Zhou Fang lightly knocked on the door and called in a deep voice: "Lord of the House."
Shi Xianqiao's voice came from the room: "Zhou Fang, what's going on? Who are you with?"
"Master, King Dingtian is coming outside the door."
Shi Xianqiao let out a surprised sound, and the door opened. Shi Xianqiao looked at the two people outside the door in surprise, and laughed loudly: "I don't know that the prince has come to my humble residence. I am sorry to welcome you from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."
"
"Master Shi is serious, I came here uninvited and disturbed Master Shi."
"Where, my lord, please sit down inside and talk."
Li Luo nodded with a smile and gave Zhou Fang a step. Without being too polite, he walked into this quiet little room. The room was not big, but the decoration was very elegant. Most of them were books, and there were few common things like pearls and jade.
A long table on the east side of the house is filled with silk books and account books. The building is prestigious, but not everyone can sit in the seat of the building owner.
Seeing Li Luo looking around the room with great interest, Shi Xianqiao glanced at Zhou Fang very quickly, with an inquiring look in his eyes. She didn't know what the purpose of his sudden visit was. Zhou Fang shook his head gently.
Li Luo shook his head, not knowing why Li Luo came here.
"Your Majesty, sit down. Zhou Fang, there is still some Chuxue Plum Blossom Tea that you asked someone to bring back last time. Take some out of the jar over there." Shi Xianqiao smiled and said, "The disciples in the building like to drink a lot. Tea
But I drank less. The plum blossom wine that Zhou Fang brought back from Wanmei Garden where he went with the prince has long been gone. These guys hang around the door every day, trying their best to steal wine, but in the end they still didn't keep it until you came back."
Li Luo and Zhou Fang looked at each other and smiled. Plum blossom wine is the best wine, and it is also the top grade from Wanmeiyuan Peak. No wonder these heroes in Banfenlou covet it so much.
Li Luo smiled and said: "Fortunately, I asked Brother Zhou to open a jar first and taste the wine, haha. There are some old Qingzhou people working in my house. I will send someone to bring some jars over later.
.”
Shi Xianqiao was startled. Although Li Luo spoke casually and naturally, he did not hide his closeness. For a moment, Shi Xianqiao felt a little uneasy and weird. However, there was no strange color on his face, and he was still chatting and laughing.
Zhou Fang brewed the tea and brought it over. The fragrance of the tea overflowed, and he was intoxicated by the smell. Even the steady owner of Banfenlou couldn't help but take a deep breath of the tea and praised: "Good tea, really good tea.
, the plum blossom tea served on Wanli Yunxue Mountain is one of the best in the world, but it’s a pity.”
Shi Xianqiao's words of regret are regrettable that Wanmei Garden will disappear from the world. Even if someone can climb Chaomu Mountain and enter Wanmei Garden in a few decades, Wanmei Garden at that time will no longer be Wanmei Garden.
The Plum Blossom Fairy from Cangyang Jiahe must be gone too.
"It is indeed a pity that Wanmeiyuan not only produces fine products such as plum blossom tea and plum blossom wine, but also hides a secret about the world. Mr. Shi, your experience in the world is far better than mine. I wonder if you have heard of anything?"
"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating." Shi Xianqiao paused slightly and said in a deep voice, "I have indeed heard about Wanmeiyuan for a long time. Banfenlou also had some friendship with the Wangmei He family. There are thousands of connections between the He family and Wanmeiyuan.
Lao Cheng knows something about the relationship between Wan Lun and Wan Mei Yuan. It is not like the He family Wan Mei Yuan rumored in the world. This time Zhou Fang came back to tell Lao Cheng the ins and outs of Wan Mei Yuan. It was exactly the same as my guess. The He family was just a member of Wan Mei Yuan.
The gatekeeper, but the real owner of Wanmei Garden is someone else, and he is a secret clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. As for its origin, I dare not make any assumptions."
Li Luo looked far away, remembering what happened in Wanmei Garden. The talisman of Wanmei Garden, the formation of plum blossom trees after the ninth level, the one in the middle of Wanmei Garden looks like a ghost ship, but it is smaller.
There are many palaces and the big stone in front of the clear water pool outside Yunding Tiangong. Now Li Luo's name is also on it. Also engraved on it are the two names Lianshan and Guigu. Li Luo is surprised but feels like
Of course it's the same.
"To be honest with the prince, I secretly sent people to trace the origin of Wanmeiyuan, but there was no useful information. However, by chance, I learned that there seemed to be such anonymous ancient clans in other places in Dagan, and it was not just Wanmeiyuan.
One place."
Li Luo was startled, and his heart sank slightly. He saw the Ten Thousand Plum Gardens in Chaomu Mountain, the Yeshuang Town far away in the south of the sky, the ancient tombs of aliens under the Immortal Peak, the ghost ship in the East China Sea that had been glimpsed, and the Western Region that had been cut off.
The Mu Kuo Kingdom, which has inherited its heritage, seems to have a hint of aloofness hidden in it, a mystery that is both strange and familiar, making people unable to focus on it, but unable to take it lightly.
"I see. I wonder if the ancient clans discovered by our seniors are recorded in the Dagan books?" Li Luo asked calmly.
"No." Shi Xianqiao shook his head regretfully and said, "These clans are extremely low-key and secretive. I just noticed some clues, but except for the known Wanmei Garden, I have not actually found the whereabouts of these clans, their names.
I don't know even more, but," Shi Xianqiao paused, glanced at Li Luo who was listening carefully, and continued in a deep voice, "I have a suspicion."
"Oh, please give me some advice, senior."
"I suspect that the Tang family in Shuzhou may be a clan that originated from ancient times, but there is no evidence, it is just my guess."
Li Luo was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. If the Tang family was an ancient tribe, although he still didn't know whether it was bad or good for these tribesmen to live in seclusion in Dagan, Li Luo felt a chill in his chest for no reason and just felt
There was a bit of coolness in my heart.
"Senior, have you ever heard of a man named Lianshan in Jianghu?"
"Lianshan?" Shi Xianqiao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. Where did the prince hear this name?"
"That day when I was on the ghost ship in the East China Sea, I saw traces of the word "lianshan" carved on a board in the cabin. Maybe it was the name of a place, maybe it was the name of a person. I can't tell for sure. I just thought about my predecessors.
He is well-informed, maybe he has heard of it, but he doesn't know." Li Luo did not mention the conversation between Wanmei Garden and Cangyang Jiahe or the name carved on the stone. Li Luo always had a vague feeling about it.
I feel like the fewer people who know about this, the better.
Shi Xianqiao sighed and replied harmoniously: "I have never heard of this name, but it sounds like the name of a mountain."
“I have checked the books on the geography of Dagan mountains and rivers, and there is no recorded peak with this name among the four borders of Dagan.
