Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 20 Qinglian Sect

Zhao Xiyan took Su Qingshu out for a walk that day, and the two got closer.In the tight days, Zhao Xiyan was busy all the time, Su Qingshu became more healthy and bold enough to often go to Zhao Xiyan's study to serve him tea and water.Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Xiyan took Shi Jiang into the gambling house at this time of night. He told his own soldiers that if he didn't come out for an hour, he would attack and take people.Today, Zhao Xiyan was wearing black clothes inlaid with gold trim, with only a jade crown on his head, and rode a maroon horse to the brightly lit gambling house.As soon as he entered the gambling house, he saw that Zhu Juren, who did not accomplish anything but failed to do so, yelling, and he felt very contemptuous in his heart.Shi Jiang seemed to see Zhao Xiyan's dislike for Zhu Juren, his eyes met Zhao Xiyan's, and he signaled him to be more careful not to cause complications.Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang entered the gambling house with their front feet, and the rear feet of the personal soldiers were buried nearby, and they rushed in when the time came.

Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang purposely lost some money in the gambling house, taking advantage of these people being directly on top, avoiding the people in the gambling shop, and went to the room in the west wing in the dark.Shi Jiang found the bed by lighting a fire pocket. After touching it for a long time, he didn't know how to get down. He tried various methods but all failed.Zhao Xiyan looked at the bottom of the bed and found two dents. He picked the trough and lifted it up vigorously. Unexpectedly, the bed board moved, and there was indeed a hole underneath.Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang were looking at the sunken place on the bed, there was a light inside, and if there was a light, there must be someone.Shi Jiang jumped down first without hesitation, and Zhao Xiyan followed suit.Zhao Xiyan thought in his heart that Shi Jiang still knew the way of officialdom very well, his future was unknown, and he understood the principle that officials should go first and the royal family go second.The two slid down from that entrance, passed a deep road, and landed back and forth.The underground is brightly lit everywhere, and the two of them are also surprised to stand here, what they see in front of them are all stones.The two stood in place and looked around. At this moment, a woman came. This woman's appearance was not very good, but Zhao Xiyan had never seen a coquettish charm in more than ten years of life.The red clothes with half-exposed breasts, the charming eyes and fiery red lips.Zhao Xiyan looked away when he saw the half-covered breasts.

"Yo, such a good-looking young man came, and he's shy, so cute."

"My sister is polite." Zhao Xiyan took Shi Jiang to greet her.

"Little brother is still so gentle, and my sister's name makes me very comfortable. I don't know if my little brother is also so gentle on the bed. My sister still likes to be rough."

"My sister was joking. I haven't asked my sister how to call her yet?"

"You little handsome guy looks so cute, sister, my □□ mother, Chunxiao's spring."

"Sister Chunniang, the two of us are bothering you."

"Tell me, what are you two here to buy? My sister sees that you are handsome, so I will give you a good price."

Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang were very puzzled. Could it be that the Qinglian Sect was engaged in underground business?

"Dare to ask my sister, what are you selling?" As soon as Zhao Xiyan said this, Chunniang's face changed.

"The two of you don't know what is sold here. It seems that you are not here to buy things! What is your intention in breaking in. Come here, get it for me!"

As soon as Chunniang said this, ten thugs ran out and attacked them both with swords.Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang didn't have time to make up any excuses, so they had to fight with this group of thugs.Fortunately, the two of them were prepared and brought weapons today, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they would be ordered to go out today.The two faced the ten members of the Qinglian Sect, and these ten members spared no effort to take their lives. Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang fought hard, but they only had the strength to parry, but they couldn't hurt these thugs a single bit.Zhao Xiyan broke through with great difficulty, only to see that Shi Jiang was already wounded, and Zhao Xiyan rushed back to fight those thugs in order to save Shi Jiang.I don't know how long they fought, but both Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang were covered in paint, and they were sweating, and the saltiness of the sweat soaked the fresh wound, and it hurt to the bone.Even so, only one thug was killed, and nine thugs had to be faced.Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang felt that their right arms were going to be crippled, and when they were about to be overwhelmed, a cold female voice called out to stop the fierce fighting.The nine thugs and Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang stopped their hands, and Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang held their swords in place panting.I saw the woman with the cold voice sitting on the table and slowly approaching, the woman's temperament was as cold as the voice.Chunniang and the congregation all knelt down to welcome the woman.

"Let's not kill these two."

"Master, I'm afraid the two of them have ulterior motives, and the subordinates think it's better to kill them."

"Don't worry, it's useful to keep them, and send them to the church later. Chun Niang, you must learn to capture them alive in the future, and don't kill people all day long."

Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang were pushed away and entered the den of Qinglian Sect.The leader invited Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang to sit down, and also invited them to drink tea.But Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang were too wary, and they didn't even touch the cup.

"What do you two come to my Qinglian sect?"

"I just entered by mistake, and I hope the leader will let us go back."

"Is that so? Both of you can break into such a hidden institution in the casino?"

"This..." Zhao Xiyan was blocked, and couldn't find an excuse for a while.

"I really went in by mistake. Please forgive me if I offended you." Shi Jiang was worried that King Duan would lose his life here. It would be nothing if he died. If King Duan died, what would happen to the people of Daqi if the crown prince ascended the throne.

"Don't talk too much, let's report your family first."

"Here in Xiaxi, a person from the capital, his family has practiced medicine for generations, and he came to Suzhou just for fun. Unexpectedly, he got into your sect by mistake. I hope the sect master will forgive me."

"Under the stone speech tree, people from Suzhou."

"The two of you are really talking nonsense and don't make drafts, and you didn't inquire about where the Qinglian Sect is before you come. All lies will be exposed in front of the Qinglian Sect."

"I can't wait"

"I really don't understand or I don't understand, Your Highness Duan Wang?"

"you……"

"And you, Master Shi of Shi Zhi County."

"It's true that this king is King Duan, and he is indeed the magistrate of Shi County. Dare to ask the leader, how did you know our true identity?"

"Not only do I know the true identities of the two of you, but I also know that His Royal Highness Duan Wang came to Suzhou this time for my Qinglian sect, right? In fact, my leader has been waiting for King Duan here for a long time, and I know that His Highness Duan Wang is coming today. This religion."

"This king is the king Duan, how did the leader know that I would come today."

"How could my leader not know? The imperial court sent you, Prince Duan, to destroy my Qinglian sect. His Highness Duan Wang thinks, what will happen to my leader?"

"The leader naturally treats me very well."

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is here to destroy our Qinglian Sect, and this leader has to treat the prince very well. Doesn't the prince think it is too ridiculous?"

"It's not ridiculous, what's so ridiculous. The imperial court sent me to bring Qinglian Sect, but it's my king's business if I don't do it right. They can't control me."

"What is the meaning of the prince's words?"

"This king has been puzzled for a long time. Only the leader can give this answer. I wonder if the leader can answer one or two questions?"

"My lord, please speak."

"Many officials submitted their memoirs, saying that there are many Qinglian sects, and they are evil cults attempting to rebel. The officials of the court all agreed to destroy the Qinglian sect. This king has been in Suzhou for a while, but except for that Zhu Juren, no one has ever I don't see any other Qinglian believers. I am very puzzled in my heart."

"The Qinglian Sect attempted to rebel, thanks to these old guys who could make it up. I, the Qinglian Sect, just took some of their things in my hands. This thing is a matter of life and death, so they teamed up and wanted to kill my Qinglian Sect." Teach them and get rid of them quickly."

"what?"

"handle."

Zhao Xiyan pondered over the two words and thought for a while. "What exactly does Qinglian Sect do?"

"If you don't do anything, it's nothing more than robbing the rich and giving to the poor. It's okay to collect some little secrets from big people."

"These secrets can be a matter of life and death, I'm afraid it's not easy."

"My lord, I'm not afraid to tell you. The Qinglian sect has the secrets and identities of many people in Daqi. That's why I know the identities of you and Master Shi."

"So that's the case. Thank you, Master, for answering your doubts." Zhao Xiyan finally understood why those old cabbage clappers in the court hall said in unison that they were going to destroy Qinglian Sect. I'm afraid they were not clean.

"The lord must have heard about Zhou Wei."

"Yes, it is rumored that the Qinglian Sect is the leader of the scholars who have failed in previous convictions."

"Zhou Wei is nothing more than the lover of a traitor from the Qinglian Sect. He is recruiting troops in the name of my teaching outside. This is the one who intends to rebel. Don't catch me wrong, my lord. The Qinglian Sect has means to collect information, but You can't arrest people clearly. Otherwise, if you get exposed, then it's game over, my lord, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zhao Xiyan heard the meaning of the female leader, it was Zhao Xiyan who arrested Zhou Wei and went back to work.First, he helped the Qinglian Sect solve a problem, and second, Zhao Xiyan was able to do business well.Zhao Xiyan still couldn't believe it, so he discussed it clearly with the leader.The information of the Qinglian Sect is too powerful, if it is used by others, it may be unstable.Zhao Xiyan proposed to the leader that in the future, the Qinglian Sect should not participate in the court party struggles, do not do things that shake the country, do not bully the weak, and do not frame loyal ministers.Zhao Xiyan proposed that when he returned to Beijing, he would find a way to find a place for the Qinglian Sect to build a mountain villa, and allocate tens of thousands of taels of money to build the villa, so that there is no need to hide it underground in the future.The leader of Qinglian Sect agreed to Zhao Xiyan's condition, and she asked Zhao Xiyan not to announce the existence of Qinglian Sect.In fact, Qinglian Sect Master wanted to kill Zhao Xiyan and Shi Jiang to avoid future troubles, but Zhao Xiyan was a prince after all, he was the son of the current emperor, and he had just been crowned Prince. If he died in Suzhou, the court would probably not let Qinglian Sect go.Zhou Wei and that traitor might have filed a complaint early, and the Qinglian Sect might not be able to please the Qinglian Sect if the imperial court tried their best to wipe them out.Now Zhao Xiyan is also a kind and flexible person, such conditions are very good for Qinglian Sect.The Qinglian Sect can't stay underground all the time, it can only grow stronger if it moves to the ground.

Zhao Xiyan put forward such a condition and was willing to ask for his own money. Apart from being afraid of the turmoil in the country, he was also afraid that one day the crown prince would be the first to recruit the Qinglian sect. He was afraid that there would be endless troubles.Instead of asking the prince to call for peace first, Zhao Xiyan came to call for peace.Zhao Xiyan left the wrench and the handwriting as evidence, telling Qinglian that if something happened in the future, he could send someone with the wrench to look for him.The leader of Qinglian Sect also brought a token and handwriting to Zhao Xiyan, and this token was Zhao Xiyan's trust in finding her.

"I haven't asked the leader's name yet."

"Yan Fengjun"

"It's the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it's the season of falling flowers. It's a good name for Master Yan. My king's name is Zhao Xiyan."

"My lord, I don't need to say it, I know it all."

"That's right, how could the leader of Qinglian sect not know? This king has been bothering me for a long time, and the hour is approaching. If I don't go out, I'm afraid that the soldiers will rush in. I'm leaving, leader Yan."

"My lord, go slowly." Yan Fengjun followed the court etiquette, and she looked at Zhao Xiyan's back, thinking in her heart, if someone else came today, she would have died long ago.This king Duan has a great chance of becoming a great treasure in the future. His mother's family is a military officer, and his wife's family is a prime minister.Why doesn't the Qinglian Sect turn around at this time?Could it be possible to hide in this dark place forever?In this way, it doesn't matter how much silver you earn.

The author has something to say:

Cooperation is not so easy to achieve, the little prince should be careful.
