In the guest room, Liu Ruyan was sitting on the shore making tea.
She presented the poured tea soup in front of Shen Yanchu and said slowly: "Since you ascended the throne in Dali and just left like this, what are the consequences?"
As the tea mist steamed, Shen Yanchu said calmly and calmly: "Prime Minister Gao will take care of the affairs of the court for the time being. This man has suffered a lot at my hands and won't be able to make any big waves in the short term."
Liu Ruyan looked at him seriously.
She also knew a thing or two about Shen Yanchu's methods. The opponents he had dealt with had to shed a layer of skin even if they didn't die, and he had a special ability in dealing with people.
"The Golden Feather Guards are left in the palace, and the puppet dead soldiers are placed outside the palace. The leaders of each department have already ceased their activities. Compared with Dali's political affairs, now I care more about the Bai people hiding in the dark." He finished drinking the tea and played with his knuckles. Holding the cup of tea, he said, "This person has a weird mind. Maybe he has known us a long time ago, or maybe he is hiding among you and me."
Liu Ruyan was startled and looked at Bai Zhi and the others downstairs.
"You said before that there was a spy in the Cang Ming Sect. Have you found out the spy?"
He nodded: "That group of people has been eradicated, but they still refused to reveal the mastermind behind it until their death."
Liu Ruyan was puzzled: "Even your Burning Heart Technique doesn't work?"
The Burning Heart Jue can detect seven emotions and read people's hearts. Shen Yanchu tried it at that time, but it didn't work: "Perhaps because they are related to Wangfeng Tower, they know the method of restraint."
"Wangfeng Tower has spies all over the place and is familiar with world affairs. As for how to restrain the Burning Heart Art, it's not surprising that they know it." She pondered, "By the way, do you still remember the scholar we placed in Wangfeng Tower?"
"Remember."
She took out a letter and put it on the table: "The scholar has written. He has successfully formed an alliance with Qin Chuan. Soon, Qin Chuan will find out the whereabouts of the financial owner."
Shen Yanchu read ten lines at a time and put the letter into the candlelight: "It was in vain that Wangfeng Tower stole the world's affairs, plotted against Qin Chuan, and eventually backfired."
The next day.
Bai Zhi went to the bank to exchange the remaining old coins for Song and Yuan Tongbao, and then went to Dongshi to buy a carriage.
Starting from Liaozhou, passing through Xingzhou, Dezhou, Binzhou, arriving at the port of the Yellow River, and further on, is the Bohai Sea.
Bai Zhi took care of her on the way, and the injuries she suffered earlier have healed.
During this period of travel, news came from the hinterland of China: Xiazhou Jiedushi was deprived of his military power when he went to Beijing for pilgrimage, the five vassal territories were annexed by the Song Dynasty, and the Duke of Xia defected to the Liao Kingdom, completely breaking with the Song Dynasty.
Slight Heat, the weather is getting hotter.
Shen Yanchu rented a house with three entrances and three exits by the river, intending to stay there for a while.
At the mouth of the river, we work as the sun rises and rest as the sun sets, so our life is quite leisurely.
This place is adjacent to Penglai, and there are many people who believe in alchemy. It is quite popular to go to the street and walk around, from gold and stone to elixirs, from alchemy furnaces to fairy books.
A few people arrived here for the first time. When they passed by the market, there were all kinds of health care products sold along the street, such as Ji-building pills, body-tempering pills, a pillow of Sophora angustifolia, and a Liang Mengyu bed.
"What do you want, young master?"
Gong Shuyu stopped in front of the stall.
Gongshuyu, named Huaian, means life is like a dream. A pillow in Huaian is also called Nanke and a dream.
"How did you sell this pillow?"
"Young master, you have good eyesight. With this Sophora japonica pillow, you can sleep soundly and deeply, and your sleep will bring you health and longevity. I'll charge you eighty cents for it!"
He was speechless: "How can a sleeping pillow made of bamboo strips be worth this price?"
The stall owner solemnly said: "Young master, you don't know something. Our bamboo pillows come from a bamboo forest opened in the back mountain by Taoist priest Xuanji. That Taoist priest Xuanji became an immortal in half a step. The bamboo contains immortal energy, which is extraordinary. Eighty cents is really not expensive."
Gong Shuyu thought it made sense, so he paid the copper coins, picked up the pillow and left.
People are coming and going in the market.
When Liu Ruyan saw the "Huai'an pillow" for the first time, she was curious: "It's just a bamboo strip pillow, does it really work?"
Gongshuyu hugged the pillow and said as he walked: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I bought it to try it first."
"Young lady, you are very beautiful. Do you want to try the beauty tea brewed by our family's secret method?" The tea lady came towards me carrying a tray with a cup of tea.
Liu Ruyan looked around and saw that there were many girls passing by on the street, but this tea seller only called her.
The tea girl held up the cup with a smile and invited her to taste it: "The young lady's appearance is outstanding, just like the Luo Shen descending to earth. She is so envious of the slave family. It's a pity that this woman's beauty is fleeting. If you want to keep your beauty forever,
, you might as well buy some beauty tea.”
She held Liu Ruyan for a while and said.
At the end, Liu Ruyan picked up two boxes of tea bags and continued walking with Gong Shuyu.
Not far after the two of them walked out, they met Dong Qingxian carrying a bag of fairy books.
Dong Qingxian smiled warmly: "The magic methods described in the book are very interesting. I want to buy it back and try it."
Ling Yun came from a distance, saw everyone there, and hurriedly put the body tempering pill he just bought into his arms.
According to the Immortal Chief's explanation: Mortals have one hundred and eight apertures, but those who learn martial arts have no clear mental apertures. If you take the Body Tempering Pill, you can open up the mental apertures, and humans and immortals can merge into one, and everything will go smoothly.
Ling Yun had encountered a bottleneck in martial arts practice for many years, so he wanted to improve his physique and break through several levels of martial arts.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Yanchu walked slowly and stood directly opposite Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan's sharp eyes saw him hiding something in his sleeve pocket, it seemed...a booklet.
"What did you buy?" She stepped forward and stared at his sleeves.
Shen Yanchu stood with his hands behind his back, not wanting anyone to take a closer look: "It's just metaphysics and Taoism."
It was a hot summer day and the bright sun made the tips of his ears reddish.
She frowned and looked at it for a while, secretly thinking that he was used to being arrogant and arrogant and didn't bother to lie. Maybe she just saw something wrong.
After a while, Angelica dahurica hurried over.
"I just went to the shop to buy medicinal materials, so I wasted some time."
Shen Yanchu took a step and left: "The house has been tidied up. Let's stay together for now."
Shen Yanchu rented this place to wait for someone, but he didn't know why his uncle chose the river mouth?
Calculating the time, his uncle still had more than a month to arrive here. There were some things he planned to tell his uncle face to face.
——He wants to marry Mrs. Liu as his wife. This is his only wish, and he hopes his uncle will fulfill it.
The house is located in Ning'anfang and has three small courtyards.
Shen Yanchu and his subordinates lived in one courtyard, Liu Ruyan lived in one courtyard alone, and the others shared the same courtyard.
This time we were going to stay for a long time, so Ling Yun took care of everything and even hired a few helpers for this purpose.
The days in Hekou were leisurely, and Shen Yanchu got up a little late in the morning. He didn't see Liu Ruyan after breakfast, so he just assumed that she also got up late.
Walking outside the room, a girl sat leaning against the window. She was a slender figure. She wore a large-sleeved shirt with a light blue shawl. She wore a hairpin with begonia flowers in a high bun. She dressed in the mirror and had mother-of-pearl on her forehead.
"Yu Meizi".
"Are you going out?" Shen Yanchu looked at each other through the window.
Liu Ruyan stood up Yingying, her beautiful features and eyes were just like in the painting.
She picked up a dough fan and stepped out of the threshold: "It's so stuffy in this room, I want to go for a walk in the East Market."
The next moment, Shen Yanchu stopped in front of her: "I'll accompany you..."
Before he finished speaking, the flower surface of the round fan fell across his face, and the girl opposite teased: "I'm going to buy some things for my daughter's house, do you want to go with me?"
He hesitated for a moment, his eyelashes fluttered, and he coughed a few times: "Suddenly I remembered that Ling Yun had something to do with me. Please go and come back as soon as possible."
