Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1285 Chongnuo Sect
Listening to Du Xing talking about how Cheng Qi's house was very close to Youran Ju by taking the secret passage, it was separated from Youran Ju by a street on the ground, so one had to take a long detour to avoid arousing suspicion. Lin Jinyan nodded in satisfaction.

After explaining the various mechanisms along the way, they arrived in front of a stone gate. Du Xing pressed down the jade inlaid in the middle of the stone gate. After waiting for a while, a beautiful woman opened the stone gate from the outside, and the fragrance of various flowers instantly filled his nose.

Several people were welcomed into the house by the woman, and what they saw were blooming flowers of various colors, arranged in an orderly manner all over the house. A pair of bird cages hung high on the beams, and in each cage there was a lively and cute bird. The scene of birds singing and flowers blooming made people feel good.

"Miss Lin, how are you? I am Xiaoshuang, your subordinate. I am here as your mistress under the order of my master. I will live here from now on and pass on messages to you and your master."

Hearing this, Lin Jinyan withdrew her gaze from the room, stepped forward to help Xiao Shuang up, and looked at her face kindly:

"You are a beautiful girl. We will have to deal with each other frequently in the future. No need to be polite. I see the things over there. Was Miss Xiaoshuang making perfume powder just now?"

Xiao Shuang, who was bowing solemnly, smiled when she saw Lin Jinyan's friendliness and spoke frankly:

"My mother makes rouge and powder. I have been influenced by her since I was a child and have learned a little bit. When I was gathering information in the past, I also used this skill as a cover."

Lin Jinyan: "The girl is beautiful and skillful, it is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers."

After some pleasantries, Lin Jinyan asked about the business.

Xiao Shuang replied respectfully, “The master said that although no one knows about this place, he also needs to reduce the number of times he and the young lady appear nearby at the same time to avoid arousing suspicion.

Therefore, if it is not necessary to have a face-to-face meeting, he will not ask the young lady to meet, and let his subordinates convey the message on his behalf to avoid putting the young lady in danger."

Lin Jinyan: "Young Master Cheng has thought it through, has he passed on any message this time?"

Xiao Shuang: "Yes. The master said thank you young lady for helping to rescue several people from the Qi family and settled them in Pingzhou. The sea caravan discussed with young lady has set off for Xuanzhou. In order to avoid attracting attention, they will still transport marine products to and from Kyoto, but two large ships will be left in Xuanzhou each time for young lady to use. This caravan has a small number of people, and no one outside knows that it belongs to the Cheng family. No one is watching, young lady, don't worry."

Seeing Cheng Qi arrange things so well, Lin Jinyan felt relieved:

It really is easier to deal with smart people.

When she was leaving, the secret door opened and the bird in the cage flapped its wings and chirped non-stop. Lin Jinyan raised her eyebrows, looked into Xiaoshuang's complacent eyes, and praised her again without hesitation.

On the way back home, Lin Jinyan was thinking about something that had puzzled her for many years:
Pingzhou is the territory of Tianji Sect. Tianji Sect has taken good care of her over the years. She sent Qi's family to Pingzhou with the intention of testing them.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, but the Tianji Sect was still ignoring and indulging me, just like they had done countless times before. Was this indulgence just because of the bet made that year?
The Tianji Sect really keeps their promise...
-
Never sleep.

When An Zhixian learned that Lin Jinyan had gone to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, he realized that his identity could probably no longer be concealed.

Not only Lin Jinyan, the Grand Tutor also invited Pingyang Hou to Qingyun Temple to investigate what happened back then. If that was the case, Pingyang Hou got the news from both sides on the same day. As long as he thought about it and checked it a little, he would know what Lin Jinyan was investigating...

It seems that I can no longer hide it...

The current situation forced him to make a choice. With a long, heavy sigh of helplessness, An Zhixian turned around and instructed Zhu Qing:

"Go out and buy some expensive and eye-catching gifts for visiting the Grand Master."
