Yingyang Kingdom is located in southern Xinjiang, a small subsidiary country next to Dalu.Zhu Mingjiao is located at the junction of Yingyang and Dalu, and has many activities in the southern part of Zuojiang County of Dalu and the territory of Yingyang, and has to maintain a friendly relationship with the royal family of Yingyang.

The Golden Valley Festival Sacrifice is the largest festival in Yingyang. It is held every three years. According to the custom, the leader will bring the priests to participate.

But Ji Minggui is doomed not to be present at this festival.

Su Xin received Prince Canghong, but it is difficult to explain the civil strife in the sect easily, let alone tell frankly about Ji Minggui's death.Zhu Mingjiao is very powerful, and Ying Yang has been afraid of it for a long time. Now that the leader of the sect has died for no reason, he is afraid that Ying Yang will take advantage of the chaos and do things that are not good for the sect.

So Su Xin said that the leader went to the Central Plains for business, and now most of the church is presided over by his wife.

Ji Minggui was born with a wild nature, and it was not the first time he went to the Central Plains, so Cang Hong didn't notice the strangeness, he just said to Su Xin: "Then please ask the wife of the master and the priest to go with me, so that I can have a business with my father."

Su Xin nodded in agreement.Presiding over the Golden Valley Festival is an old custom, and it is common for the wife to do it for the leader when the leader is away.

"This time I come here in person, but there is actually one more merciless request. My father heard that the leader went to the Central Plains a few years ago and retrieved the long-lost gold bottle of sacred objects in the religion. My father once heard my grandfather talk about the Holy Spirit when I was young. Since my grandfather passed away, my father’s desire to see the sacred object has become stronger and stronger. Now that my father is dying, and the sacred object has been recovered, I wonder if your religion can satisfy my father’s wish?”

The holy relic is of great importance, Su Xin didn't agree in a single word, he only said that he would discuss with several pavilion masters, and then ordered his attendants to take Cang Hong to his residence, and leave with him in a few days.

Shen Tingyun has already woken up, Su Xin went to tell the other party about the Gu poison, and told Shen Tingyun not to stay too far away from Qi Shiyu.Shen Tingyun was silent for a long time, Su Xin originally thought that the other party was concerned that his internal energy could not be fully recovered, so he spoke out to comfort him, saying that he would definitely search for ancient prescriptions in the future and find a way to relieve the poison.

Shen Tingyun shook his head, and said: "I think, what virtue and ability do I have, that I can get Qi Junlang, who has no relatives and no reason to me, to help me many times. He actually did this for me. I don't know how to repay him."

Seeing the words and deeds of Qi Shiyu and Sang Zi, Su Xin felt that Shen Tingyun and her could not really have no relatives and no reason, and maybe even had a close relationship in the past, but she dared not say too much for fear of saying the wrong thing.

In order to distract Shen Tingyun's attention, Su Xin told Shen Tingyun about going to Yingyang Kingdom.

"According to the usual practice in previous years, we will stay in the capital for about seven days." Su Xin said, "It's just about the holy relics, and I have to discuss it with Sangzi."

Shen Tingyun felt a little uneasy, and asked, "But I didn't take much part in the church's affairs before, even if I went to Yingyang Capital, I wouldn't be able to help much."

"Madam doesn't need to help, but just make an attitude and tell the other party that Zhu Mingjiao attaches great importance to Ying Yang and dare not neglect."

Shen Tingyun felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and asked Su Xin where Qi Shiyu had gone, and hurriedly got out of bed to look for someone.

Qi Shiyu came to Ji Minggui's grave again.

"Thank you for saving him." Qi Shiyu whispered towards the grave.Even though he felt a little bit jealous, he didn't blame Ji Minggui for taking Shen Tingyun as his own.The little guard is so good, he should be liked by others.

Now that Shen Tingyun can still stand in front of him perfectly, Qi Shiyu is already satisfied.

It's just... If Yu Hanyi knew the news of Ji Minggui's death, he would feel very sad.

Qi Shiyu took off the porcelain bottle from his waist and spilled the soil in the bottle.

"This is the soil of the capital. It's useless for me to hold it now. I'll give it all to you. It's His Majesty who is with you." Qi Shiyu said, "As for him, thank you for taking care of him for me when I'm away. Now I When you come back, you should return him to me."

When Shen Tingyun found Qi Shiyu, he was very puzzled when he saw that he had thrown the porcelain vase that he usually regarded as a treasure under the tree.

"Why don't you want it?" Shen Tingyun asked.

Qi Shiyu raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled warmly: "I just think that things should look forward now. You said the same thing before, drinking too much hurts the body, and a little inattentiveness also hurts the people around me. No more drinking."

Shen Tingyun was extremely surprised, and immediately thought about the Gu worm on his body, and hurriedly asked Qi Shiyu why he wanted to help him.

Qi Shiyu said: "Back then in the Gu forest, you sacrificed your life to save my life, and now I give you your life back, it's not unusual."

Qi Shiyu spoke frankly, but Shen Tingyun was faintly disappointed.He couldn't tell why he was disappointed, but he just felt empty, as if Qi Shiyu's answer was not what he wanted to hear.

A few days later, Shen Tingyun, Su Xin, and Qi Shiyu took a group of attendants and religious relics, and went to Yingyang Capital together with Cang Hong.

Yingyang is a small country, and its capital is not too big. Because it is located in the southern border, there are many forests and poisonous insects. The palace is also a combination of various small buildings on stilts, which is far from the red walls and green tiles of the Central Plains.

"Please invite a few distinguished guests to follow the attendants to rest first. The Golden Valley Festival will be held in three days. Someone will personally take you to the altar during the introduction." Cang Hong called a few guards and assigned them to Shen Tingyun and others. People say that they are at their disposal.

"Father will entertain everyone after the ceremony. After the banquet, he will send someone to escort you back."

Shen Tingyun's residence was not far from Qi Shiyu's, and because Su Xin was a girl, she was arranged in a small building on the other side of the garden.After packing his bags, Shen Tingyun went to Qi Shiyu's residence, invited him out, and the two of them walked around the palace together, and went to find Suxin on the way.

Towering ancient trees are everywhere in the palace, and many palaces are built by trees. Qi Shiyu has never set foot in a foreign country, and this is the first time he has seen it.

The two walked through the garden, familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment, and asked the guards about the royal families living in each palace.

Different from the Central Plains Palace, the Yingyang royal family lived in the palace no matter whether they were adults or not.They were in the place where the princes lived, and there was a lake separated from the king's harem. It was heavily guarded on weekdays, and few people could set foot in it.

In the corner of the garden, where plantains are overgrown, there is an inconspicuous small building, heavily guarded outside the building, which looks very mysterious.

Qi Shiyu felt that there was something different here, so he tentatively asked the guards about it.

The guards kept secret about Jiaoxia's small building, they only said that there were nobles living in it, and His Royal Highness instructed that no one should approach it.

What kind of noble person will be confined in the corner of the imperial garden?

Qi Shiyu felt something wrong in the guard's attitude, and knew that there must be something strange in it, and it was very likely that it was hiding the secret of the Yingyang royal family.But he knew the truth that the more you know, the faster you die, so he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly changed the subject, and walked through the small building with Shen Tingyun to find Su Xin.
