Firefly candles are full of orange light, and the elegant room is filled with the fragrance of books.
Xiaoman also found a bench and sat down, listening quietly to what Tan Xiangchu wanted to say. On the right side of his bun, a silver step trembled in the candlelight.
Tan Xiangchu pondered for a moment, and then told Xiaoman in detail what he had recently learned about the cause and effect of Cui's siege. Compared with what Xiaoman learned from Cui Wan, there were more outrageous details.
For example, how Cui Luo was scorned by Yuan Zhongwu in Taiwei Palace, and how he was verbally bullied by Yuan Zai at the Yuan Mansion night banquet... These unknown inside stories can only be found in Zoroastrianism in Taiwei Palace and Yingchuan Farewell.
Only the best in the industry can take risks and make discoveries.
Even the number of the Yingwu army guards sent by Yuan Zai to besiege the Cui Mansion and the names and surnames of the servants and guardians were written in Sogdian script on Ge and linen strips, and were secretly passed on to Qin Xiangchu. Therefore, if the discussion is correct,
Only Qin Xiangchu knew the most detailed information about Taiwei Palace and Yingchuan Bieye in Zoroastrianism.
Qin Xiangchu's voice was not loud, but in the quiet night when the wind was soft and the insects were chirping, it was like beads splashing on a jade plate. The words were clear and the sentences were clear:
"... We, the Zoroastrian Church, tried our best to drive Wang Jin back to Chang'an. Who knew that the tigers would be driven out of the front door, but the wolves would come in at the back door! The traitor Yuan Zai actually came to Luoyang to replace Wang Jin on the pretext of the marriage of his third son.
Fighting for the 'Rushui Sword'... Obviously, we underestimated the plans and ambitions of Yuan Zai, Wang Jin and others.
The two of them pretended to be a saint, and wanted to accept this magic weapon for the sake of the peace of the country. In fact, they had the intention of "forming factions with ministers and swaying the emperor". They wanted to use the rumors of "Rushui Sword" to win over and bribe the courtiers.
The imperial court is in control to control the vassals, towns and state capitals all over the world. Once the treacherous plot succeeds, he will be a saint, and I am afraid that he will have to follow the trend of the two of them in order to achieve anything.
Although our Chinese Zoroastrianism is not as authentic as the Taoist sect, we cannot tolerate the misbehavior of these treacherous ministers and officials. They try to imitate Huo Guang and Wang Mang and subvert the duties of "junjun, minister, minister". That's why we had a secret fight with Taiwei Palace King Jinming before.
We are rushing to find the whereabouts of the 'Rushui Sword'. It is not a sword, but I just don't want this divine sword to fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives."
Although Xiaoman was a foreign woman, she had read a lot of classics and historical records about China when she was under the protection of her adoptive father. Therefore, she felt contempt for the disobedient people recorded in the history: "That's
The rebellion in Jizhou only subsided for a few years. In this Yuan Dynasty, Wang Jin and his like had healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and they wanted to disrupt the government. Such unsubordinate behavior is different from Qi Huan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Cao Cao and others in the late Han Dynasty."
Tan Xiangchu nodded repeatedly and said with deep understanding: "At first, Tan didn't believe it either. But recently I found out that Yuan Zai actually conspired with Wang Jin to spread rumors in Chang'an and Luoyang. It was said that His Highness the Crown Prince was bewitched by Li Changyuan and wanted to
"Seizing power with a borrowed sword" made the courtiers in the two capitals very uneasy, so they forced the prince and Li Changyuan away.
Therefore, most of this 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' has fallen into the control of Yuan Zai, and Henan Mansion and Xiangshan Temple are just the planners on the surface. That's why Mr. Tan reported it to Leader Wang and other guardian brothers.
I suggest that Zoroastrianism should also send some people with excellent martial arts skills to the square platform to try their skills. Not to seize swords, but to capture some Yuan clan eagles and dogs, so that Yuan Zai can only win the bamboo despite all his efforts.
It's all a waste of water'!"
After hearing this, Xiaoman's beautiful eyes lit up and he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "This is a very good plan by the Protector of Tianji! Such an upright conspiracy, even if Yuan Zai knew that we, the Zoroastrian Cult, were deliberately doing it, we could only take action head on.
As for winning or losing, Yuan Zai must care more than us..."
Seeing that the words had come to this, Qin Xiangchu finally straightened his face, clasped his hands together and said, "Sister Shuangyue, after all this talk, I only need your attitude towards one thing."
Xiaoman also knew that he had reached the key point, and immediately returned the courtesy: "There is no need to be polite as a protector of Tianji. As long as it is beneficial to our Zoroastrianism and can curb the ambition of the traitor Yuanzai, Xiaoman will never refuse!"
Qin Xiangchu looked slightly relaxed and continued: "Sister Shuangyue must have noticed the current situation in the religion. Leader Wang is trying to catch a duck and become the acting leader reluctantly.
However, he was originally obsessed with medicine and had no great talents or strategies. Although his brothers in the religion respected him, they had little fear of him. However, although the several guardian Dharma kings also had outstanding intelligence, strong martial arts and high ambitions, they tended to
It’s also hard to be convinced.
So Tan asked everyone, and although they all agreed with this method, no one was willing to take the initiative to go there. Even Tan felt that his power was not enough to convince the people, and his kindness was not enough to win people's hearts. So let me tell you.
After leaving, everyone felt that only the 'Saint Girl' was the one whom everyone wanted, and could make everyone in the church be sincerely convinced, without any hesitation.
Therefore, at the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' two days later, Sister Shuangyue will have to lead the best warriors in the religion as a saint again to compete with the heroes of the world at the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference'. At that time, all the Lily Guards will accompany her.
Go and protect Miss Shuangyue."
After hearing these words, Xiaoman couldn't help but feel sad:
Sure enough, as soon as the holy aunt left, many of the sect's protective Dharma kings and missionary envoys began to secretly set up their own mountains and form cliques. They still looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were doing their own thing. The acting leader Wang Bing basically
It is not as profound as many protective Dharma kings, so it is impossible to effectively control and restrain them.
Therefore, what Tianji Protector Tan Xiangchu said about "it is difficult to convince the public" is just an excuse to cover up his fault. Although the position of Zoroastrian leader seems attractive, not only is Wang Bing not interested in it, but Tan Xiangchu himself also lacks interest.
But those who are interested in the position of leader are not worthy of the position...
When Qin Xiangchu saw Xiaoman's expression change and his smile disappear, he also knew that everyone had gone too far. He felt a little worried and did not dare to look at Xiaoman's eyes again.
The candlelight danced, and there was silence in the room. Something called embarrassment, as if incense was burning, was getting thicker and thicker in the study.
Xiao Man suddenly raised his eyes and said with a sweet smile: "Since it is 'the one everyone expects', if Xiao Man doesn't respond, wouldn't he be ignorant of the promotion? I will take the lead on this matter. I also ask Brother Tianji to tell Master Wang and other guardians to get it done as soon as possible.
Give me a copy of the list of experts who are accompanying you, so that Xiaoman can know what to expect."
It turned out that just when Xiaoman was like falling into the ice cellar, he suddenly thought that Yang Zhaoxi, with his master's orders, would go to the "Shendu Martial Arts Conference" to compete on stage and compete for the divine sword. But he had already made up his mind to get it.
She rushed there to watch the battle. Since the sect had this intention at this time, why didn't she just go with the flow and agree? As for how many Yuan's eagle dogs she could stop in the end, all she had to do was try her best.
When Qin Xiangchu heard this, he jumped up from his chair, clasped his hands to make flames, and said with great joy: "The saint understands the righteousness! I would like to express my thanks again to the protector of Tianji!"
Xiaoman also stood up and was about to leave. But he heard a noise outside the window and several torches dangled and floated towards them.
The first person seemed to be the housekeeper of the mansion, and he shouted to the study from a distance: "Master, master! Something bad has happened! In the woodshed in the backyard, four masked men in black broke in and started fighting with some distinguished guests in the mansion!"
"Woodhouse?" Tan Xiangchu was stunned, obviously he still hadn't recovered.
"No! It should be the nun from Qiyun Nunnery who came to the door. Let's go quickly!" As he spoke, Xiaoman slipped on his embroidery shoes, stepped on the bookcase, knocked open the window screen, and jumped out.
Tan Xiangchu did not hesitate, followed closely, and jumped up. The two of them went one after the other, and within a few breaths, they disappeared from the butler's sight.
The eastern sky is about to dawn, and the blue clouds are turning white.
But Jing Xizi Tang Juan and Yue Xizi Tan Qing, two senior sisters, talked all night long, and only fell asleep when the rooster crowed.
However, not long after her eyes closed, Tang Juan had a dream. In the dream, she saw that the Fang family's courtyard was empty. She shouted all over the courtyard, but no one responded. By accident, she ran to the well platform in the backyard, looked down, and felt all over her body.
The hairs on my face suddenly exploded:
All the masters and servants in the courtyard were filled at the bottom of the well, with their bodies broken and their arms broken. The little Fang Zijian sat cross-legged on it, looking up to the sky and wailing, the sound was heartbreaking and heartbreaking...
Tang Juan was woken up immediately, only to find that she was sweating coldly, panting heavily, and still felt thrilling. Tan Qing, who was on the opposite couch, was breathing evenly and long, and even murmuring in her sleep was a bit sweet, but she didn't know what kind of sweet dream she was having.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning drums could be heard faintly in the city, giving people unlimited hope.
Tang Juan couldn't bear to disturb Tan Qing's sweet dream, so she immediately tiptoed, put on her skirt and shirt, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked out of the room.
I walked along the corridor and headed to the main hall in the front yard. I didn't see Master Yuan Yizi, and I don't know if he left the temple early or if he hadn't gotten up yet. Because I was really thinking about my child Fang Zijian, I hurried to the person who was on duty today.
Zhi Ke Nu Guan said goodbye. Then she walked quickly and headed straight back to the north of the city.
The Luo River is rippled, and the reeds are rolling in the waves.
A rising sun shattered on the Luoshui River, scattered into the waves, and the floating light swept away the gold.
Tang Juan had no intention of admiring the scenery. She only took a quick glance, then hurriedly passed by the Xinzhong Bridge, then turned right and went straight to the south gate of Tongtuofang.
Yawenba
The Wutou door of the Fang family's house has been opened, and the night servant is carrying a basin of wash water. When he comes out of the door, he raises his hand and throws it out. Suddenly, he sees the young mistress Tang Juan rushing back from outside in a hurry. She doesn't look at him and just keeps her head down.
I entered and wanted to stop, but it was already too late.
Tang Juan saw that the situation was not good and reacted quickly. Suddenly she jumped up into the sky, like "pulling onions on dry land", jumping five or six feet high from the ground. She pushed her foot on the wall of the left courtyard, and her body jumped up to more than three feet.
Immediately, he dodged the washing water gently and skillfully, and jumped into the courtyard.
When everything in the courtyard remained the same, Tang Juan felt relieved. She wiped the hot sweat from her forehead and temples and walked around to the backyard.
At this time, Fang Zijian would still be soundly asleep on the couch. If she, as a mother, had not persuaded her in every possible way, she would not have gotten up early to read the Bible.
However, when she rushed back to the house early this morning and came outside the east wing where she and Fang Qidou lived, she saw an incredible scene:
Fang Zijian was standing in front of the house, fully dressed, with a red-purple scented handkerchief covering his eyes, playing hide-and-seek with several strange women in gorgeous clothes. His round, white hands kept dancing in the morning light.
Waving it, a cheerful laugh came from his mouth.
Tang Juan suddenly felt something was wrong, her almond-shaped eyes showed a rare solemnity, and she asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?!"
