His pupils were watery and his long eyelashes were trembling.
The bright eyes seemed to be filled with mist again, making people feel pity in their hearts.
Yang Zhaoxi was surprised by the sharpness of the woman in front of him, but also regretted that he had made a mistake with his words. He had made her worry for nothing. He smiled quickly and said: "This time I am going with my master Changyuan Zhenren, there is not much risk. You can just
Even if you can’t trust senior brother’s peerless swordsmanship, you should still know the powerful methods of Master Changyuan!”
Tan Qing looked at him with piercing eyes: "Senior Brother Yang, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, but you are always so brave... It makes Qing'er frightened every day. Does this matter have to be done by you? Could it be that you are the one responsible for this matter?
If you can't sit still, just stay in this yard, teach the little monkey, and train the big bird. If you feel bored, you can play chess, acanthus, Shuanglu, throwing pots, etc. Qing'er can do it!
I will accompany you to relieve your boredom... I just hope that senior brother will not put himself in danger again..."
Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears.
Yang Zhaoxi was immediately at a loss: "Junior Sister Qin, don't cry. It's really not what you think. You are just a 'middleman'. You also know that the prices of goods in Luoyang City have soared recently, the three cities are in depression, and many ordinary people are
We have long been unable to afford rice, and the number of people dying of illness and starvation is increasing day by day. If Hu merchants still go on strike, there will be civil unrest among the people, and then the government will come back to suppress them, and there will probably be more casualties..."
"But... what does this have to do with you?" Qin Qing sobbed, "The wars between Hu and Han have always happened, and Zoroastrianism and Taiwei Palace are not fighting each other in a day or two... You go to mediate alone.
, isn’t it like seeking skin from a tiger? If something unexpected happens again, who will save you then?!”
When Yang Zhaoxi saw her crying so hard, her heart softened. She naturally stretched out a hand to wipe her tears, but she opened it with a wave of her hand. Then she turned away and shrugged her shoulders, but she cried even harder.
.
Yang Chaoxi sighed and said: "The person who came forward to mediate this time is actually His Highness the Crown Prince. My teacher Li Changyuan and Henan Prefecture Yin Xiao Jing are the ones who lobby all parties and mediate in the middle. However, His Highness the Crown Prince is of high status and honor.
Although I can't understand the matter, due to the status of the crown prince, it is difficult to take action directly. Although my master and Mr. Xiao were officials in the same dynasty as Wang Jin, they have different political views. If they act as 'middlemen', neither Taiwei Palace nor Zoroastrianism will be affected.
Not convinced.
Therefore, it is necessary for a 'middleman' who is neither a member of the public nor a Zoroastrian to bring the leaders of the two parties together to talk face to face, make terms for each other, and take a step back so that Zoroastrianism can take care of the overall situation.
Order Hu merchants to resume trading, and also order Taiwei Palace to rein in its minions and release the captured Zoroastrian believers and people from the Qin Mansion."
Hearing him mention "people from the Qin family", Tan Qing burst into tears, sniffed and said, "Well, just for this reason... they chose you to be the 'middleman'? But... But if Wang Jin revealed it on the spot
After the case is over, Zoroastrianism will be killed, how can you escape... 嘘嘘..."
"Junior sister, don't worry, I definitely won't!" Yang Zhaoxi looked at Chu Chu's pitiful back and continued to comfort her, "At that time, my master Chang Yuan, Lord Yin Xiao of Henan, and even the military generals camped in Luocheng will be present to bear witness, Tai Wei
How can the palace have no scruples?"
Tan Qing just cried to the wall and ignored Yang Chaoxi's explanation. He was anxious and scratched his head, but he didn't know how to coax the woman in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "Creak--", and the door was pushed open, but it was another woman who walked in. The figure was bulging, and the fragrance filled the room. Even the exhausted Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but feel refreshed.
.
Tan Qing's sobs stopped abruptly, she turned around suddenly and said coldly: "Li Xiaoman! Just push the door open and come in uninvited! Are all the people in your Zoroastrian religion so unruly?!"
Xiaoman smiled sweetly: "I knocked on the door! But I only heard one crying, one coaxing, and no one answered me for a long time, so I had to come in first. In case you girl Tan is really 'bullied' by Mr. Yang, I won't be able to tell you
Heavenly Protector explains."
After hearing this, Qin Qing's face suddenly changed from red to white, and even his ears burned red, but he was choked and unable to speak.
Yang Zhaoxi was immediately embarrassed. Then she realized that in her desperation, most of her body was pressed on the couch. Tan Qing lowered her head and wiped her tears from a foot away... It really looked like she had done something embarrassing, and Junior Sister Tan was ashamed and angry.
A difficult situation.
So he hurriedly defended himself: "Xiaoman, don't talk nonsense! No matter how good the character of Xiaodao is, you can't believe it?"
Xiaoman snorted softly: "Ha! I don't know whose young master was in that iron cage yesterday. He was not ashamed or ashamed... I don't know how happy he was!"
Yang Chaoxi was also choked and speechless at the moment. Tan Qing had already reacted: "Li Xiaoman, Senior Brother Yang and I are innocent. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will twist your tongue with a sword! Now please
go out!"
However, Xiao Man was not in a hurry. He made a flame with his hands and made a holy fire salute to Yang Zhaoxi: "Mr. Yang, Holy Aunt invites you to go to the main hall to talk. She said that Master Changyuan is here and she must see you well.
.”
Yang Zhaoxi hurriedly jumped up from the couch, bowed to Tan Qing inexplicably, and said "I'll take care of you with peace of mind" before exiting the guest room. By the time he closed the door, he was already sweating profusely.
Xiaoman looked at his embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
At first, she still covered her mouth and chuckled, then gradually she covered her belly and threw her head back to laugh. She laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and tears flowed down her cheeks. The drops fell on her chest and wet her collar.
The shirt was red and the fragrant silk was wrapped around it... The tears gradually became a torrential force, diluting the vermilion powder and blurring the blush. There seemed to be infinite sadness deep inside, but there was no trace of crying.
Yang Zhaoxi saw her laughter gradually subsided, but she was trembling all over, knowing something was wrong. She was walking towards the front yard, but she suddenly stopped: "Xiaoman, what are you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the delicate body in front of him move, and she immediately threw herself into his arms. A pair of jade hands slapped him randomly. Although there was not much force, it disrupted his mood all at once, and he was so confused that he collapsed... His arms were stiff.
In mid-air, I had nowhere to put my hands. I didn't know whether to push her away or pat her on the shoulder to make her not feel so sad.
Xiao Man stayed in his arms for a long time before his cheeks turned red and he raised his head. He waved his sleeves to wipe away his tears and said slightly uneasily: "I'm sorry... Young Master! I soiled your robe... I'll see you later."
After passing Saint Aunt and the others, go back to the room and change, and Xiaoman will wash it for you..."
Yang Zhaoxi saw that her makeup was drying but she was still cautious, and she felt a pain in her heart. She said softly: "Xiaoman, you, please don't pay attention to this first... Go back to the room to freshen up, and don't call Sister Hu Ji."
Only when my sister sees it..."
Xiaoman's eyes were as deep as water, and she stared at his eyes seriously, and after looking at him again and again, she burst into laughter, nodded heavily, and then turned around and left.
Just when Yang Zhaoxi felt a little sad and was about to calm down and go to the front yard, Xiaoman's skirt suddenly swayed and his body turned quickly. In a flash of lightning, a slender lip was printed on his left cheek.
A tingling sensation instantly spread on his cheeks and quickly invaded his whole body, causing him to freeze on the spot. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the little man had already escaped a few feet away with his light embroidered shoes.
He quickly got into the guest room again.
In the main hall of the front yard, on the north side, Liu Xiaomu and Li Changyuan are sitting respectively.
On the left and right of the hall are the three guardians of Tianji, Diwei, and Shenhuo, as well as the nine missionaries of Guangming, Zhengyi, Xuanyi, and Shengyan. They all stand respectfully and do not dare to show any disrespect.
Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu made a flame with his hands, and said with a heavy expression: "Honorable Saint! After my house was raided by the armored guards, there were three more big Hu merchants in the city in the past few days, and their homes were raided and captured by the armored guards.
Being imprisoned in the private prison of Taiwei Palace, I'm afraid it's going to be very bad at this time..."
Liu Xiaomu's eyes sank slightly, and she said solemnly: "This incident was also expected. The armored guards raided your Qin Mansion before, just to scare the tigers. The purpose was to frighten the Hu merchants and Hu people in the city so that they would not dare to harbor Zhu.
However, they did not expect that all the barbarian merchants in the city went on strike, which caused the price of goods in the city to skyrocket, and the people were in dire straits. Later, many officials and wealthy households also began to complain.
As soon as this incident came out, people naturally came to Wang Jin's door to find trouble. Even those who did not dare to provoke him openly would probably send letters to Chang'an and ask fellow officials in the court to report the matter to the saint. Presumably, people from all walks of life must have been there recently.
Under the cross attack, Wang Jin was already very annoyed. But he would never give in to me, the Zoroastrian Cult, so he ordered the armored guards to continue killing chickens to scare the monkeys, so as to force some barbarian merchants to resume the market and drive down the prices of goods as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
After hearing this, Qin Xiangchu's worry did not subside and he continued: "Does the holy lady have a strategy to break the situation?"
Liu Xiaomu looked at the divine fire protector, and then said to Tan Xiangchu: "The divine fire has been arranged to rescue the captured cult members and your family members. However, the dungeon is extremely well guarded, which will not only scare the snakes, but also affect the lives of the people in the prison.
We need to move the tiger away from the mountain and lure away most of the dungeon guards before we can proceed."
At this time, Li Changyuan on the side spoke: "You heroes and poor Taoists, I came here because I want your sect and Taiweigong to turn their feud into friendship and stop fighting each other, which will bring disaster to the Hu people and the Han people. We have been lobbying for these days.
Zhou Xuan has also made a good plan, which is to ask the leader of your teaching and Wang Jin to meet and discuss in Shendu Garden on a certain day, so that they can give up and clear up the past grudges, so that Luoyang can return to peace."
"Bah! What kind of good thing is that Wang Jin? How can you sit down and discuss with us? I'm afraid you colluded and dug the trap, waiting for us to jump in?!" After hearing this, Zhu Yanli, the protector of the Divine Fire, couldn't help shouting angrily. Others
When the guardians and missionaries saw this, they also sneered at him.
Liu Xiaomu had expected such a reaction from everyone, so he glanced at Li Changyuan teasingly, and then said slowly: "Both parties will benefit from cooperation, and both will suffer from fighting. The good strategy Mr. Li just mentioned is the magic way to break the situation this time."
Seeing that the leader of the teaching had calmed down, Liu Xiaomu continued,
"The peace talks with Taiwei Palace are a great opportunity to 'lead the tiger away from the mountain'. If Wang Jin is willing to give in, it would be the best. The brothers and family members in the dungeon can all be rescued without a single blow. If Wang Jin fights
I have made up my mind to take advantage of the peace talks to wipe out our Zoroastrianism in one fell swoop. I will definitely bring most of the armored guards with me. One will be by my side to protect them, and the other will increase the chance of victory during the siege. This way
Come, the dungeon will be guarded empty, and then Shenhuo and the others can attack in one fell swoop and rescue the prisoners."
Only then did Tan Xiangchu understand the meaning of the Holy Aunt. He immediately knelt down on one knee, raised his hand to his head and said, "The Holy Aunt's wonderful plan is admired by Heaven! The lives of the whole family of the Tan family depend on the blessing of the Divine Lord."
Liu Xiaomu nodded slightly, with a bit more caution in his eyes: "That's the plan. But how to lay out each link and how to cooperate among each other requires careful consideration and careful consideration! Don't let one omission lead to ruin.
It’s a good game!”
At this time, Zhu Yanli suddenly raised his hands and made a flame and said: "Holy aunt, you still remember that day, the mail guards surrounded Dongqiu, trying to recruit our sect. Now that the seven-day limit given by Wang Jin has passed, I'm afraid that Taiwei Palace will not return."
There will be big moves.”
Liu Xiaomu muttered: "Diwei, your subordinates have been keeping an eye on this matter. Is there any news?"
Faye Sanqiu, the local protector, also performed the Holy Fire Ceremony immediately: "In addition to searching for people from my Zoroastrian religion in recent days, Taiwei Palace has also raided and arrested Hu merchants. Overtly, it was to put pressure on Hu merchants to force them to resume trading. Secretly,
But it was a cunning act of plundering and plundering the wealth of Hu merchants. In addition, Wang Jin invited many eminent monks and masters in Luoyang City to debate scriptures and teach Zen in Taiwei Palace every day. There is no other abnormality."
Liu Xiaomu turned her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Wang Jin has always worshiped Buddhism, so there is nothing wrong with inviting some monks and nuns to come. It's just that he is too greedy! Diwei, Fan Taiwei Palace wantonly suppressed Hu Shang, and took the opportunity to
Collect as much evidence as you can about the crime of lining your own pockets, and just hand it over to Master Chang Yuan."
After saying that, he looked at Li Changyuan and said, "Sir Li, we and other religious people don't know much about the impeachment in the court. Whether these criminal evidences are sent to the Censor's Office or to the Procuratorate, please listen to your Excellency."
Li Changyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The holy aunt must have wanted the imperial court to remove Wang Jin from his post before he would give up?"
Liu Xiaomu raised his eyes slightly: "If I hadn't been worried that killing officials would cause trouble to Zoroastrianism, I would have crushed this Wang Jin's bones to ashes long ago."
Li Changyuan cupped his hands, but had nothing to say. The guardians and missionaries in the hall all cursed Wang Jin for his usual behavior.
At this moment, everyone saw the corner of the Holy Aunt's mouth curling up, but her eyes were staring outside the main hall, as if they had seen something ridiculous, so they all turned their heads to look:
Yang Chaoxi was seen walking in with a solemn face and calm steps. He folded his palms and raised his hands to greet everyone. However, there was a bright red lip mark on his left cheek, which made him look very gorgeous in front of everyone.
The people with active thoughts immediately looked at Qin Xiangchu. He was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, then his face dropped like water, he looked at Yang Chaoxi and said angrily: "Young Master Yang! Mr. Qin has always respected your moral character and martial arts... but you
What's the explanation for the rouge mark on the left cheek?!"
Yang Zhaoxi was stunned. She wiped her left cheek with her hand, and saw two dots of bright red on her fingertips. Her face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
I wanted to say something in defense, but I found that all the words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't spit out a single word.
