Liu Xiaomu, like a gull, flew gently into the Shendu Garden and returned to the beam of Wangchun Palace.
She raised her eyebrows and looked, and saw that the prince Li Shi, who had just spoken so righteously and wanted to recruit her, was nowhere to be found. Also missing was Li Changyuan, who had not said a word from beginning to end and pretended not to know her.
However, as soon as Prince Li Shi left, the guests in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. The passionate atmosphere just now disappeared. The guests were beating drums and passing flowers, pushing cups and changing cups, and making noisy, arrogant drunkenness, which was even worse than before. The beautiful maid next to them
Their jade fingers are flying, their colorful sleeves are attentive, and they thoughtfully add wine and vegetables.
Liu Xiaomu glanced at them a few times and then ignored these sanctimonious people. A pair of phoenix eyes looked left and right, carefully searching for Tianzhu Dancer Xiaoman.
Within two breaths, I saw that charming figure among the crowd in the corner of the hall. He was mixed with a group of dancers, singers, and musicians. He lowered his eyebrows and stood silently, as if he was watching.
Waiting for new instructions.
However, after Tian Prince Consort's "interlude" just now, when Henan Yin Xiaojing arranged dance music again, he deliberately avoided Tianzhu dance performers to avoid further trouble.
After two more sticks of incense, all the guests were tired. Xiao Jing stood up, cupped her hands and said with a smile: "It's a small banquet in spring. I'd like to thank you all for joining us. I would like to thank you! The friendship of colleagues is not just about banquets. Colleagues."
The love should be better than before!"
All the guests stood up, cupped their hands, and thanked each other. The banquet finally came to a successful end.
After seeing off the guests, Xiao Jing returned to the empty hall and looked at the people in the church who were standing respectfully in the corner of the hall: "Everyone has worked hard tonight! Deputy Ambassador Luo, there are still some untouched food and drinks at the banquet, so I will give them to you."
, You Jiao Fang, just save it for midnight snack!"
At this time, a man in a green robe took two steps forward, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for the food!"
When the man in green robe raised his head, Liu Xiaomu, who was leaning on the beam, suddenly shrank: Luo Changqing?
The dim yellow glass lamp still radiates light and heat.
In the empty Wangchun Palace, Luo Changqing's respectful reply still echoed in the palace.
Suspicion arose in Liu Xiaomu's heart: Hasn't this Liyuan boy been living in Chang'an? When did he come to Luoyang and become a clerk in the foreign education workshop?
The questions in his mind were unanswered for the time being. Liu Xiaomu was not in a hurry. He looked at Xiaoman dressed as a dancer from Tianzhu, and each of the others in the studio brought cheese, raw fish and dumplings, gourd chicken, 100-year-old soup, pepper-roasted lamb leg and more.
With the same food and wine, they lined up in two queues and went out in unison.
Luoyang Diplomatic Square is divided into left and right teaching squares, which are under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple in the palace. They are both located in Mingyi Square, only one mile away from Wangchun Gate in the east of Shendu Garden.
Liu Xiaomu turned around and walked out of the main hall, and followed the queue of people in the teaching hall. Then he went all the way east, out of the Wangchun Gate, and after a slight turn, he came to the Xifang Gate of Mingyi Square.
The gate of the workshop had been closed for a long time. The bad guard who was guarding the door was very sleepy, but he was woken up by the people in the workshop. He cursed and got up to open the door. Seeing that it was Luo Changqing who led the team back, he calmed down a little and silently let everyone in.
Bolt the workshop door.
The Left Jiaofang is located in the north of Mingyi Square and specializes in dance skills and acrobatic arts. The Right Jiaofang is in the south of Mingyi Square and is especially good at singing and instrumental music. Therefore, when everyone in the Jiaofang returns to the workshop, they each perform their duties.
They were divided into two groups and each went back to rest.
Liu Xiaomu followed Xiaoman and Luo Changqing all the way. After they entered Zuo Jiaofang's house and went back to their rooms to rest, they jumped from a roof and went straight into Xiaoman's house.
Xiaoman was sleepy and exhausted. She was about to lie down with her clothes on when she heard a strange "squeak" sound from the window sash. She was shocked! However, she reacted quickly. With a push of her hands and feet, she rolled off the couch, leaving the silver on her bun.
The hairpin, the wooden hairpin has been clamped between the fingers, and it shoots out with a "swish"!
Liu Xiaomu was hanging in mid-air, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and as he waved his fragrant sleeves, those silver hairpins and wooden hairpins were relieved of their strength and fell to the ground. The phoenix eyes said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad! Pretty smart!"
Xiaoman felt no sleepiness at all, and immediately knelt down on one knee, holding his palms together in the shape of flames: "Welcome Holy Aunt! Tonight, Holy Aunt came to the rescue, Xiaoman is very grateful!"
Liu Xiaomu sneered, and invisible sound waves rang out, making people feel a little heart-stopped: "Ha! If I don't take action, you have to take action yourself. Wouldn't it be exposing your martial arts skills? What I'm curious about is that as the Protector of our religion, you
, do you like to show off and show off so much?!"
Xiaoman's heart trembled, and he quickly knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Holy Aunt, please don't misunderstand me! What Xiaoman did is all Zoroastrianism, and it is not a dissolute act. I beg Holy Aunt to listen to my explanation."
Liu Xiaomu sat down on the small table by the window, crossed his arms and said, "Talk!"
Xiao Man then raised his head and said: "The Luoyang General Altar of Self-sect and Taiwei Palace are secretly wrestling with each other to find the 'Rushui Sword'. The brothers in the teaching have fought many times with the hawks and dogs under Taiwei Palace, and both sides have suffered casualties. Xiaoman
Not long after I came to China, I heard a few days ago that Taiwei Palace secretly sent people to sneak into Shendu Garden at night to search, so I wanted to investigate.
However, the Royal Forbidden Garden is not open to ordinary people. So Xiaoman performed a dance at the Heshang Wine Shop to first impress the people in Luoyang Gongmen, and then found the believers in the church and asked him to arrange for me to enter the Shendu Garden.
Show off your skills. In this way, you can go in openly and wait for opportunities to investigate."
"If the prince-in-law doesn't have sex after drinking, this plan is not bad. So, what did you find out?" Liu Xiaomu teased, and his tone softened slightly.
"The eagle dogs of Taiwei Palace only search near Ningbi Pond. They are skilled and unscrupulous. They must have secretly colluded with the guards of Shendu Garden to sneak in repeatedly without being discovered." Xiaoman said firmly.
"Do you have any evidence for your speculation?" Liu Xiaomu showed a playful smile.
"Xiaoman once knocked out a few people and threw them on the path of the night patrol, and then secretly observed them. But those guards turned a blind eye and walked around one after another!" Xiaoman said angrily.
"Interesting! It seems that the palace envoy in Taiwei Palace is very capable! Even the guards of the Royal Forbidden Garden opened the door for him." Liu Xiaomu said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter! In that case,
Then withdraw 70% of the believers arranged on the Tongyuan Canal side and keep an eye on Shendu Garden. By the way! Those Taiwei Palace hawks and dogs are called "Hu Ben Guards" and are Wang Jin's private soldiers.
I wish Hong Zhiye will rule. You might as well check more about the details of these people."
"Xiaoman accepts the order!" Xiaoman clasped his hands to make a flame, bowed before standing up, and respectfully held the plate of flower-embellished glutinous rice cakes he had just brought back, waiting for Liu Xiaomu to taste it.
Liu Xiaomu picked up a piece and said while eating: "Now it seems that there are five forces in Luoyang City: Prince Li Tuo, Wei Bo Zhentian, Wang Jin of Taiwei Palace, Henan Yin Xiaojing and Jianghu Rangers, who want to fight with me.
The teachings are striving to find the 'Rushui Sword'. It's a good thing that this sword has not been released, but once it appears, it will definitely be a bloody storm.
My aunt had been to Taiwei Palace the day before yesterday. Henan Yin Xiaojing and Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace, had already made a plan to prevent the Zoroastrian saint from entering the temple on March 15th in the west of Luoyang City.
As for how to break the situation? You must decide on a countermeasure in advance."
Xiaoman nodded and said, "Xiaoman has made a note of it. I will go to the Zoroastrian Temple tomorrow morning and tell Mage these things so that I can make arrangements early."
"In addition, Wang Jin will also lay a secret hand in the west of the city to intercept and kill the fleeing believers. This must be guarded against!" Liu Xiaomu patted the residue on his hands and said in a cold voice, "Who is outside the door? Come in and talk!"
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and Luo Changqing walked in slowly: "Xiaoman, don't worry about what happened today... Miss Liu! I haven't seen you for many years, how can you be here...
…”
"The Zoroastrian Holy Aunt appears here! Protector Luo, please don't be rude!" Xiao Man shouted to stop without waiting for Luo Changqing to finish.
Luo Changqing was shocked and turned pale. He knelt down on one knee, made a flame with his hands, and recited devoutly: "The command of the Lord of God is passed on to the Holy Aunt. Eliminate evil and spread good, and bring prosperity to the king's land. The holy fire is blazing, and the evil will be wiped out!"
Free all our people and free them from all suffering!"
Liu Xiaomu said indifferently: "No courtesy! Luo Changqing, although you and I are old acquaintances, since you have joined our Zoroastrian religion, we should respect each other in an orderly manner. There is no need to mention old things again!"
Luo Changqing stood up and said respectfully: "Remember the Holy Aunt's teachings!"
Liu Xiaomu muttered: "Welcome the Holy Lady and rekindle the Holy Fire. It is of great significance to our thousands of Zoroastrian brothers and sisters! The Luoyang Gongmen were worried that the growing power of our Zoroastrian religion would affect their implementation of administrative decrees and increase taxes, so they deliberately obstructed it.
This matter was not meant to last forever, but the Taiwei Palace instigated it, causing the Zoroastrian Church and the Luoyang Gongmen to gradually become hostile, and now they are even more powerful. Therefore, there is no need to hold back when the time comes. If there is any stubborn obstruction,
, just kill him!"
Xiaoman and Luo Changqing both bowed and responded: "What the holy aunt said is absolutely true!"
Liu Xiaomu nodded slightly: "I have been in seclusion for ten years and have not appeared. Recently I learned that our Zoroastrian religion has the eight guardian Dharma Kings of 'Heaven's End, Earth's Dimension, Sun's Sun, Frost's Moon, Divine Fire, Chishui, Jianmu, and Xuantu'.
It should be enough to deal with the situation at hand.
Xiaoman, you have just been to Chang'an, and the leader of the Zoroastrian Church should be well prepared, so you can just follow his arrangements."
Xiaoman once again clasped his hands to make a flame: "I will obey the Holy Aunt's decree."
After Xiaoman finished speaking, he stood up. Liu Xiaomu's figure had already faded and disappeared quickly.
Luo Changqing then sighed and said: "It turns out that she is my Zoroastrian saint! It is reasonable and unexpected. It is a pity that among the eight protectors, I am only the newly named 'Xuan Tu Dharma King', not as good as you, 'Shuang Yue'
The Dharma King is even more respected. I only hope that he can do more good deeds for me in the future."
Xiaoman smiled charmingly: "In our Zoroastrian religion, when we grant guardians, the most important thing is good deeds and merits. They are not ranked based on seniority like the public servants do. Therefore, the guardians ranked at the top, regardless of their age, are all people who have made great contributions and are convinced by the public.
.Xiaoman is the youngest, but he is in a high position, and he is as timid as you!"
Luo Changqing could only smile bitterly: "The world is unpredictable and opportunities are unpredictable, Shuangyue Protector does not have to be too modest... This fluent Chinese alone makes many brothers in the sect unable to catch up."
Xiaoman smiled but didn't answer. The lights in the house gradually dimmed, blurring her beautiful appearance.
