Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 389 Explained
There was a moment of doubt in her mind, Jiang Shaoyan shook her head, and put all the doubts behind her.

As if he had made up his mind to pluck some hair from Jiang Shaoyan's iron rooster, Taoist Ziguang specially prepared some meat food made of game from mountain hunters in the pavilion outside during the evening meal.

Although there is no special cook in this temple, whether it is because the mountain game is delicious or because the Taoist priests in the temple are trained in their daily reception of rich and powerful households, the roasted wild pheasant tastes very good.

Jiang Shaoyan ate slowly, listening to Ziguang Taoist talking and laughing about the "excellent scenery" of Jiulongling.

Of course, when it comes to Jiulongling, one of the names that cannot be avoided is Chen Rang.

"Although it is said that the heroes of Taoism don't ask where they come from, and it is an old story, it is a fact that our Jiulongling Fengshui is excellent," Taoist Ziguang is "able to speak" and can control even rich and powerful people who do not cooperate Live in a place, not to mention that Jiang Shaoyan and Ji Chongyan are already compatible.

Ji Chongyan reached out and poured himself a glass of "immortal wine" brewed from the "merit pool water" of Tianquan Temple, took a sip, squinted his eyes, and smiled at the Ziguang Taoist who was talking about Chen Rang.

The matter of Chen Rang and Chen Xian will make a big fuss in Taoist Ziguang's mouth. In short, he just wants to rely on the Chen family's concept of power.

It's just that after talking for a long time, the iron rooster still doesn't pull out a dime, just eats silently, but this time, Mr. Ji will occasionally respond with a smile.

But the response from Mr. Ji, who is quite good-looking, is useless!Ziguang Taoist sighed faintly, looking at the wide-open back door of Tianquan Temple from time to time.

Those two who went down the mountain to inquire about the news probably won't come back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!Right now, I don't know who this fat lady is, what are her hobbies, how can she match what she likes?

Sighing quietly, two little Taoist priests trotted and appeared at the back door of Tianquan Temple at this moment. The two of them walked in a hurry, and the rather elegant Taoist robes they wore when they greeted guests in the morning were covered with dust. The boots are also full of mud, obviously they took the trail and walked back to the mountain road.

The Ziguang Taoist priest who was roasting a piece of venison suddenly changed his face when he saw the two young Taoist priests suddenly appearing: Didn't they go down the mountain to find out about the past of the fat lady?Why are you back now?

This is just down the mountain to the foot of the mountain and then turned back, right?
Naturally, the two little Taoist priests couldn't explain anything in front of "Mr. Ji" and "Mrs. Ji", but walked up to Taoist Priest Ziguang anxiously, and said, "Guan... Guanzhu!" I couldn't help but glanced at the two "distinguished guests" who were eating meat, and stammered, "The talisman that I just wrote was snatched away by wild cats in the mountains. The temple master should go and have a look!"

Talismans are things Ziguang Taoist uses to make money. Of course, they will not be placed randomly, let alone be snatched away by wild cats in the mountains.

This is just a rhetoric.Taoist Ziguang's heart skipped a beat, he put down the venison in his hand, got up and said to Jiang Shaoyan and Ji Chongyan with a smile, "You two honorable guests, come as you go!"

Jiang Shaoyan still didn't say anything, but Ji Chongyan nodded towards him with a smile, and said with a smile: "The temple master can handle the important things by himself, and the two of us will do things like barbecue by ourselves."

Taoist Ziguang greeted him a few more times after hearing the words, then turned around and left in a hurry with the two young Taoist priests.

After Taoist Ziguang left, Jiang Shaoyan, who was eating a small piece of venison with a stick in his hand, put down the venison in his hand, and said to Ji Chong: "Those two little Taoist priests should be sent down the mountain by Taoist Ziguang to spy on me. identity."

Now that I came back halfway, I think I found the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, Ziguang Taoist will doubt their identities.

"Leave this to me." Ji Chongyan said "Yes", and brushed a layer of honey on the roasted venison in his hand. After the skin of the venison became crispy, he took the venison off, and then cut it into pieces. Put the flakes on the plate, pushed it in front of Jiang Shaoyan, got up and said, "Miss Jiang Si, I should go to meet Ziguang Taoist priest."

In this play, he is the one who mainly contacts Taoist Ziguang.

Jiang Shaoyan gave a "hmm" and told him: "Be careful!"

The face of the person set off by the dim light of the bonfire was extraordinarily soft. When the girl said this, she instinctively raised her eyelids, and the gentle look of her eyebrows and eyes made Ji Chongyan pause for a moment.

A picture buried in the bottom of my heart was suddenly drawn out at this moment.

Grandfather and grandmother have been in love all their lives, and there has never been a third person between the two.Although as we get older, we don't stick together all day. , my grandfather has entertainment among his old friends and colleagues, and occasionally goes out to fish, play chess and so on; my grandmother also often goes to Buddhist temples to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha. Counting, except for rest at night, the two of them are together during the day all year round. Not much time at home.

But if grandma is at home, whenever grandpa wants to go out, grandma will always say "be careful".

One year, the snow in Chang'an was really heavy, and even most of the yamen only went to the yamen to report in shifts, and most officials only worked at home.But a colleague of my grandfather who had a life-saving friendship passed away that year.On the last journey, my grandfather always has to send it off, so I have to go out of the city and up the mountains together with him.

Grandma was worried, but she also knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped.

At that time, he was drinking the warm soup stewed by his grandmother at his grandmother's place. He saw his grandmother tie a thick fox fur cape on his grandfather, and forcefully stuff the hand warmer into his grandfather's hand.

The grandfather who had been strong all his life was like a child at that time, his face was flushed, and he complained, "I think back then, when we fought against the enemy on the battlefield, we would wear armor and lie on the snow at night. What is this..." He took the hand warmer without hesitation, and couldn't hide the smile on his brows.

He had heard a lot about his grandfather's behavior of "not saying what he meant", but he didn't care much about it.

He knew about the harmonious relationship between his grandparents after generations, but he didn't feel much about it.After all, at that time, he had never met this girl who made his soul tremble at the sight of him. He only knew about the relationship between men and women in the world, but he had no feeling or experience.

Besides, the relationship between the parents closest to him didn't make him feel that there was anything good, one was too stupid and stupid, the other was too sentimental and incompetent.Other than that, there is nothing else.

But at that moment, looking at the silver hairs on his grandmother's temples in the wind and snow, the soft and gentle eyebrows touched his heart for a moment. Everything has changed between the no longer young grandfather and grandmother for so many years, but there is something But it hasn't changed since the beginning.

He was envious for a moment, looking at the girl's raised eyebrows, and for a moment he seemed to see her looking at him when he was getting old.

Looking down, his mood improved a lot inexplicably, Ji Chongyan nodded to Jiang Shaoyan, and strode into the Tianquan Temple.

After Ji Chongyan left, Jiang Shaoyan raised her head, stretched out her hand and patted her chest as if her heartbeat had missed half a beat, and felt emotional: No wonder the old man often said to "look at the beauty under the light", just now Xiaobaicai's eyes are really amazing Don't dare to look at him!
With no one around and nothing to do, let’s get serious about eating meat.Jiang Shaoyan took a deep breath, and was taken aback when she looked down at the evenly sliced ​​venison slices.

The chopping of this plate of meat is not as good as the little noon difference that she "exercises" a little bit of kitchen knife skills every day.

Are these martial arts masters so good at cutting vegetables and meat?
I don't know if this venison is delicious or because of the blessing of "Ji Shizi cut it himself", Jiang Shaoyan only thinks that this plate of venison is extraordinarily delicious, unconsciously... a bit full!

Putting down the chopsticks, Jiang Shaoyan leaned on the back of the chair, looked past the Tianquan Temple, and looked at the sporadic lights in the mountains.

In the daytime, the fairyland is indistinctly celestial, but at night it looks inexplicably strange.

……

……

There are officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain!Taoist Priest Ziguang was terrified by this news, thinking that it was going to expose the old story of Tianquan Guan's change of master, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it should not be.

This happened many years ago. If the Taoist priests in the temple on the other side have any opinions on the replacement of their Tianquan temple, they should have reported to the officials earlier. He came to the door with a knife.

But those few Taoist priests didn't care about it, except for not giving them a good face, it seemed that they had nothing to do.

Last month, he used the money he earned from Tianquan Temple to "help" those Taoist priests!
As long as the "immortals" have not cultivated to become real, they have to eat. No matter how "noble" the Taoist priests are, they will not say a word in the face of such assistance.

Then the officers and soldiers... Priest Ziguang jumped in his heart, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked the two little Taoists who rushed back to report: "Where did the officers and soldiers come from? Are they from the Jinling Mansion?"

There are also acquaintances among the guards in Jinling Mansion, and they may be able to inquire about them.

As soon as these words came out, the two little Taoist priests who reported the news shook their heads together, and one of them said: "It's not from the government office, it seems to be someone from the military camp.

The barracks... Priest Ziguang, who was still a little apprehensive, completely let his heart drop.

The military camp doesn't care about the case, so it shouldn't be for him.

However, many officers and soldiers came here for no reason... There are not many people in Jiangnan Road who can mobilize so many officers and soldiers!Besides a few generals in the barracks, who else can transfer officers and soldiers?
Taoist Priest Ziguang is a very "worldly" Taoist priest, and he often goes down the mountain to walk in the "mortal world", so he has also heard about the recent incidents in Rijiang River.

Except for a few generals who have been training troops in the barracks all year round, there seems to be only a few who can mobilize officers and soldiers!No, not a few, there should be only one Jiangnan Road today!His majesty's nephew who followed the jade-faced judge from Chang'an to Jiangnan to investigate the Ye Mingzhu case.

Some things are unexpected, but when I think about it... I heard people say that this son who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth was born very good, and judging by the appearance of that young master Ji, no matter how picky he is, he can't say "bad" Here comes the word!By the way, I almost forgot, that His Majesty's nephew is the eldest grandson of Duke Anguo, and the family of Duke Anguo's mansion seems to be Ji...

Is there such a coincidence?how is this possible?Ziguang Taoist gasped, his face changed suddenly, he opened his mouth, and was about to say something to the two little Taoist priests who didn't know why, when he heard a voice from outside.

"Guardian!"

Taoist Ziguang turned pale: I really mean Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!There is nothing wrong with his ears, so he can tell which voice it is from!

But at this time, the son who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth is already outside, and now is not the time to explain this to these little Taoist priests.Taoist Ziguang took a deep breath, stepped forward and opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, he met the eldest son who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Taoist Ziguang gave a dry laugh, and said, "Ji...Ji Gongzi." Uh, even though I told myself to calm down, I still couldn't help but stutter.

Taking advantage of the stammering stall, Ziguang Taoist took a deep breath, and quickly waved his hands to drive the two little Taoist priests who looked like gooses away.

For this elder son who came up to the mountain out of nowhere, he had to raise a hundred hearts and deal with it carefully.

After all, it was the son of the world who suddenly wanted to go up the mountain to seek Taoism, and it was impossible for him to bring so many officers and soldiers here without incident. What if this one is really unhappy and directly shovels his view of heavenly power?
"Ji...Master Ji, if you have anything to say, please come in!" Taoist Ziguang made a "please" gesture.

As soon as the little Taoist priest he sent out came back, the elder son came to the door by himself, and it was estimated that this was what he was going to talk about.

Sure enough, he just sat down, and before he poured tea, this person spoke.

"Ji Chongyan." Ji Chongyan paused, and then revealed his identity. Seeing that Taoist Ziguang's hand holding the teacup trembled, and "caringly" helped him stabilize the teacup, he continued, " The one who went up the mountain with me is the Fourth Miss of Dongpingbo's Mansion."

Ziguang Taoist heard the words and thought: Although others are in the Jiangnan Road, they don't know much about the dignitaries in Chang'an City, Dongping Bo's Mansion does not have the power of Anguo Gong's Mansion, and everyone outside Chang'an knows it.

But after all, she is also a young lady of the uncle's house, with an unusual status, but she has an "extremely round and beautiful appearance", which is a bit too expensive.

Taoist Ziguang got up in a panic, made an unruly bow, and continued to stutter: "See... see the prince."

"It's okay, sit down!" Ji Chongyan paused, glanced at Taoist Priest Ziguang whose hands were still trembling, and said "comfort", "The two of us went up the mountain just to come to the temple for a short stay, there is no other meaning."

There is really no other meaning, that is, there are many more officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.Taoist Ziguang thought: Also, the two of you, the prince of the state and the lady of the uncle's house, came up to our Tianquan Temple for no reason and didn't know what to do.

As for the reason for coming to Tianquan Temple...

"What I told you in the letter before is true." When Ji Chongyan said this, he paused, and his ears felt hot.

real?real?Priest Ziguang, who was already shocked when he saw this couple, was dumbfounded again at this moment.When he came back to his senses, his expression was even more subtle.

On the contrary, he admired that young lady of the uncle's mansion, she dared to strike at the eldest son in front of her, and she really succeeded in attacking, she even became so charming!
Thinking of this, Taoist Ziguang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and asked Ji Chongyan: "My lord, do the Duke and His Majesty know about this? That is Miss Bofu, this identity... will not be given to others. To be a concubine..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Chongyan. He suppressed the smile on his face, and that gorgeous and extravagant face looked inexplicably chilling and displeased: "I will be with Miss Jiang Si! The Ming media is getting married, there will be no more The third person." Like grandfather and grandmother.

After all, ignoring Taoist Ziguang's still shocked expression, Ji Chongyan paused and spoke again: "The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are here to protect us, just in case..."

Ziguang Taoist: "..." This... is actually not incomprehensible, as your majesty's nephew, it's okay if the scene is a little bigger, he secretly said.

"This time I go up the mountain, I just want to do what we want to do with Miss Jiang Si, and I don't want to make any extra trouble." Ji Chongyan stopped here and looked at Taoist Ziguang, "Speaking of this, I want to ask You, your view of heaven...do you have old grudges with other views?"

ah?What does this mean?Taoist Ziguang was puzzled: How could this prince suddenly say such a thing?
