[The Wind Rises in Luoyang] The Extraordinary Branches of the Festival

After leaving Fashan Temple, there was no trace of Gao Bingzhu.Baili Hongyi asked Shen Fei to find his whereabouts, or someone who was acquainted with Gao Bingzhu.

Gao Bingzhu's whereabouts are secretive, not to mention who would admit to being acquainted with a wanted criminal?Shen Fei's inquiries naturally came to nothing.But Shen Fei met someone on the way.

Princess Jiale.

"Looking for Gao Bingzhu's acquaintances and friends?" Jia Le laughed, "Your Erlang really found you a good job."

"Come with me, I'll take you to meet one."

Jia Le took Shen Fei to Ji Shan Bo Fang.

"The shopkeeper of this Bofang is called Yao Niang, who is Gao Bingzhu's old friend," Jia Le said with a smile, "You go and shout a few words."

Shen Fei really yelled twice, "My lady! My lady! Where's Gao Bingzhu?"

My mother's complexion changed.Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw Jia Le sitting in the lobby with a big horse and a golden sword, and couldn't help saying: "Oh, who am I! It turned out to be Princess Jia Le! It's really a distinguished guest, and it's a shame to welcome him. Jia Le Why did the princess think of me to come to sit and sit? Presumably he also came to gamble and have fun?"

Jia Le smiled and said, "Don't spoil my reputation. I heard that there is a wanted criminal here, so I'll drop by to have a look."

My mother came down from upstairs and gave a slight salute, "I'm open for business here, where did some wanted criminal come from? Princess, please don't listen to one side..."

Jiale waved his hand, "Come on, why are you pretending to be obedient in front of me. Isn't Gao Bingzhu your old friend? I met Mr. Pei Tingchang of Dali Temple at your place a few days ago. Things, not only I know, Dali Temple also knows."

My mother's face was as usual, and her heart suddenly jumped, "Oh, look at what the princess said, I am a lady doing business, so I have to treat guests well. What can I do?"

My mother flicked her handkerchief, "It's all gone! Jishan Bofang doesn't welcome guests today."

In a blink of an eye, all the people in the lobby left.

My mother seemed to glance around inadvertently, "The princess seems to be very interested in this little place like mine? How many times has this been here?"

Nongyue wanted to fight between the two, thinking to the princess, if this girl is really the killer who kills without batting an eyelid, the combination of slaves and Fufeng may not be able to withstand it!Did she just look at her to greet a helper?Is it too late for us to leave now?

Jia Le waved a pink round fan, and said with a smile: "Who told you to have Gao Bingzhu here? Ah Yue has a thin skin, so I'm too embarrassed to come in and look for him. So my friend came in and helped her find him!"

"Ah Yue?"

"Mr. Yuehua of the Inner Guard Mansion! My mother, you don't even know about your rival in love? Do you want me to call her in to meet you?"

Shen Fei lowered his head, hiding his bewildered face.

This princess is really lying without drafting, what Yuehuajun?There is not even a guard outside!

Bailang hurriedly jumped into the room through the window.I accidentally sprained my foot.

"What are you doing in such a panic?" Gao Bingzhu was thinking about how to sneak into the Palace of Princess Yongchuan to inquire about it, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Ambassador! Something is wrong! The princess is fighting with my mother from Jishanbofang!"

Gao Bingzhu got up and left.

He didn't even need to ask which princess.Besides Jia Le, the devil incarnate, who else could there be?

Jishan Bofang.

Things were not as exaggerated as Bailang said.The rumors spread like this, but the two parties involved are "talking to each other" in a "friendly manner"!

"You're talking about you, my mother, I'm not talking about you," Jiale said with a look of hatred, "If you like Gao Bingzhu, you should start early! No, Mr. Yuehua also likes it, can you What should I do? Can you rob him? Have you ever robbed Lord Yuehua from the Neiwei Mansion?"

Yao Niang has been in the rivers and lakes for more than [-] years, but she has never met Jia Le.She wasn't angry, she wasn't laughing, she wasn't killing her, she wasn't killing her, she was extremely depressed for a moment, and she felt a bit of pain in what she said.

The moment Gao Bingzhu rushed into Bo Fang, Jia Le raised his hand to support Fu Fachai.

Fufeng drew his sword and stabbed My Lady with a "chuckle"!

Yao Niang seemed to fight back, but suddenly twisted her body, and the sword stabbed into her left arm.

"My mother!" Gao Bingzhu rushed over to support her.

"Princess! What are you doing?!" Gao Bingzhu roared.

Jiale smiled regretfully, "Oh, am I helping you? On the one hand is the Yuehua Lord of the Neiwei Mansion, and on the other is the female shopkeeper of Jishan Bofang. I am afraid that you will not be easy to choose, so I will help you. Is it better than you stepping on two boats?"

Gao Bingzhu choked, "My business has nothing to do with you!"

Jia Le: "Who said I want to take care of your business? I'm helping Ah Yue..."

"She will let you kill people?" Gao Bingzhu sternly said.

Jia Le was full of surprise, "Who said I was going to kill someone? Who did I kill? Gao Bingzhu, don't spout blood. I'm not trying to help you..."

My mother stared at her fiercely.

"Test and test my mother's feelings for you!" Jiale shook her fan and laughed, "You see, when my mother sees you, she doesn't even bother to hide her sword, and her heart and eyes are all about you. Gao Bingzhu, you are so lucky Oh! Why don't you just marry Ah Yue and take Yao Niang as my concubine."

"My mouth is full of nonsense!" Gao Bingzhu said angrily.He was about to take Yaoniang to bandage the wound, but was stopped by Jiale again.

"What are you doing again?! Do you want to see my mother bleed to death?"

"This little injury is nothing to my mother. Come with me, I have something to do with you."

"You aimed at my mother just to make me appear?"

"Otherwise?" Jia Le took it for granted.Then he said to my mother: "My mother, you have so many people who serve you, do you mind if I take him away?"

"It's quite a coincidence. I was worried that Fufeng's attack was not serious. Seeing that the sword was stabbed in the heart, who knows that my mother is in good health..."

"Gao Lang!" My mother suddenly shouted, "Since the Princess has come up with such a way to find you, there must be something important. I'm fine, you go with the Princess immediately."

Baili Hongyi was waiting for Shen Fei's news in the mansion.Shen Fei didn't wait, but Liu Qiniang did.

Seeing Liu Qiniang entering the mansion with big and small bags, Baili Hongyi: "..."

"Baili Erlang, our Lord Xunshan asked us to send Qiniang here. Lord Xunshan is going to travel far to seek medical treatment, so please ask Erlang to take care of Qiniang for a few days." The visitor put down his luggage and left in a hurry.

"Your uncle wants to travel far away?!"

"Erlang," Liu Qiniang said softly, "Uncle is not in good health, and he is going to Zhoushan to practice meditation to recuperate. Let me...Erlang won't mind?"

Qiniang wants to live in?Liu Xiang wants to run away?

For a moment, Baili Hongyi didn't know which one to deal with first, so he saw the fifth uncle hurriedly said: "Erlang, there are rumors on the street that the princess is making a big fuss in Jishanbofang!"

Baili Hongyi was taken aback for a moment, then walked away.Which princess could it be?

"Erlang! Erlang!" Liu Qiniang shouted, "Erlang, where are you going?"

Baili Hongyi waved his hands without looking back, "You settle down by yourself."

Jishan Bofang.

"You are a gentleman, undressing and bandaging a lady, is it reasonable?" Jiale said sternly, "It's not a husband and wife. Well, Nongyue, you go and help."

"No need!" My mother said, "I have someone to take care of me. I can't afford the princess's maid." Saying that, she went upstairs slowly.

Gao Bingzhu wanted to chase after him, but Jiale knocked on his fan, "Let's go. Do you still want to watch him take off his clothes?"

Gao Bingzhu was extremely angry, "I didn't know Princess Jiale was so vulgar!"

Jiale Yile, "Don't you know now?"

Gao Bingzhu was speechless for a while, turned around and left.

Jia Le fan patted Shen Fei, "Follow me! Isn't your Erlang looking for him?"

Shen Fei cupped his fists, "Thank you Princess. Then I'll go."

Before Baili Hongyi arrived at Jishan Bofang, he was stopped by someone.

It was Gao Bingzhu.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Yes," Baili Hongyi said hastily, "but now I'm going to Jishan Bofang..."

Shen Fei followed, "Erlang. What did Erlang go to Jishan Bofang? We just came out of there."

"Where's Jiale?"

"Oh, the princess asked me to chase Gao Lang, so I came out first."

"Is she all right?"

"What's wrong with her?" Gao Bingzhu interjected with a cold face, "When you meet her, it's someone else's business."

Baili Hongyi looked at him.Gao Bingzhu said impatiently: "Don't ask, go home and ask Shen Fei. Didn't you have something to do with me?"

"You mean, she knows your identity?"

"Yes. She has been to Bofang a few days ago. Today, she came to test frequently. The subordinates suspect that she has already guessed."

"Since that's the case, find a chance to get rid of it. Make it clean and don't leave any clues."

"Yes, envoy Zhang Qiu."

King Dongchuan reacted faster than everyone else.Hearing that Jia Le caused trouble, he immediately sent someone to arrest him.

Before Jiale could walk out of the gate of Jishanbofang, people from Dongchuan Prince's Mansion arrived.

"Princess, get in the car."

A small dilapidated house in Bailang.

"Han Dongqing gave you something before he died. What was it? What else did he tell you? Did you go to see Lian Fang last night? What clue did Lian Fang give you?" Baili Hongyi asked a series of questions.

"You asked Princess Jiale to find me?" Gao Bingzhu asked back.

Baili Hongyi glanced at him, "No. I'll ask Shen Fei to find you."

Gao Bingzhu paused, "Since you found it, let's run some errands."

When Baili Hongyi returned home, he saw Liu Qiniang planting flowers in the yard.

"These are Erlang's favorite flowers. Erlang is happy when he sees them, so I am happy."

"He's just a heartless gentleman! Did Qiniang ever do what these servants did before? Qiniang is in this mansion, cooking, planting flowers and tidying up the room. How has Erlang ever looked at it?"

"He's not unintentional. Isn't he busy with his father-in-law's business recently?"

Baili Hongyi left quietly.

Originally wanting Qiniang to help her heart retreated.

If he wanted to enter the Palace of Princess Yongchuan, he had to ask Qiniang to take him there, or invite Lord Yuehua, or invite Jiale.

Jiale was grounded again.Qiniang... He couldn't let Qiniang deepen the misunderstanding.Then there is only Yuehua-jun.

Shen Fei was very surprised when he saw Liu Qiniang, "Erlang, Lord Xun Shan asked Qiniang to come? He dares to let Qiniang come?"

He still has the face to let Qiniang come? !

"This matter has nothing to do with Qiniang," Baili Hongyi said, "Just treat her as you did before."

"Don't be harsh." Baili Hongyi added.

"Yes," Shen Fei cupped his fists and said, "But Erlang, it's not a problem for Qiniang to be here! Not only her reputation, but your reputation is also affected."

"Do I still need any fame?" Baili Hongyi said indifferently.

"Why don't you need it?" Shen Fei asked urgently, "Erlang will still marry a wife in the future!"

"I have no intention of getting married, nor of carrying on the family line."

When Bailiyan was here, Baili Hongyi was dissatisfied with being used as a marriage tool, and he said this with confidence.Now that grandpa has passed away, it is somewhat against his will to say this.

Grandpa definitely hoped that he would marry a wife and have children.

Then Shen Fei said inexplicably, "What about the princess?"

The question was inexplicable, and the hearing was even more inexplicable, "What does this have to do with Jiale?"

Shen Fei looked at Baili Hongyi again and again, but said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, what are you going to Jishan Bofang with Jiale today?"

The son, King Chu Dongchuan, was called by the sage to admonish him.A sage is far harsher to his descendants than to his granddaughter.At least that's the case for King Dongchuan.

He didn't give way to Jiale.

For Princess Yongchuan and Wu Siyue, I love her even more.

King Dongchuan panicked and kowtowed, "Grandmother, my grandson must strengthen the rectification, and give grandma a sensible Lianfang as soon as possible."

"Jiale's grandson will definitely be disciplined strictly."

"Forget it," said the saint, "I want a clean and capable Lian Fang. As for Jia Le, you don't have to be too harsh. It seems that I have treated your brothers and sisters harshly."

Wang Liandao of Dongchuan didn't dare.

"It's Jia Le's age, so it's time to take care of her." The saint said, "With her husband guarding her, you can also concentrate on Lian Fang's affairs."

"You don't need to bother about this matter, I will take care of her for her. Just do your thing with peace of mind."

King Dongchuan was sweating coldly, so he had no choice but to agree.

Baili Hongyi was wrong.If he wanted to ask Princess Yongchuan about charcoal, the only people he could invite were Liu Qiniang or Wu Siyue.

The relationship between Jiale and Yongchuan is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface.Jia Le took him there, but nine times out of ten he couldn't find anything.

Jia Le was grounded anyway, so it's useless to say these things.

Shen Fei said: "If you want to find Lord Yuehua, why didn't Gao Bingzhu go find it himself, instead of looking for Erlang?"

Aren't the two of them lovers and concubines?Poor Shen Fei thought with Jia Le's poisoned head.

Baili Hongyi: "Maybe he's still a wanted criminal, so he's inconvenient to move around."

"Princess Yongchuan?" Wu Siyue was surprised.

"Yes," Baili Hongyi was calm and indifferent, "Can you help me to ask?"

Yong Chuan once complained to Jia Le that she dared not go out to play in the palace, but she still came out.

Not only came out, but also happily bought cleansing mud at Nanshi Yunifang.

Two maids dressed as guards followed her left and right.

This is why Jiale can travel with a swagger.When Jia Le went out of the house, he always had to disguise himself, either as a young gentleman or in an inconspicuous way; even Fufeng and Nongyue were treated like ordinary servants.Those who are not interested will never see it.

Unlike the two in front of me, dressed in black, they looked like expert guards.

The two "masters" urged Yongchuan to return to the East Palace, but Yongchuan refused to listen, "What's the rush? I'm going to meet Ah Yue in a while! I want to go back to you."

Princess Yongchuan is also smart, as soon as we met, he said: "Ah Yue asked me, there must be something. Otherwise, why would you think of playing with me when you are a busy person? Tell me, what can I help?"

Wu Siyue said: "The princess said so, so I will ask directly."

Yong Chuan said briskly, "Well, let's ask."

"I heard that Zhuangzi, the princess, bought a lot of charcoal. I don't know what to do?"

"Oh, the housekeeper is responsible for all the affairs of the Zhuangzi. But Lord Xunshan bought my Linchuan Bieye a few days ago, maybe he bought the charcoal." Princess Yongchuan said bluntly.

The uprightness of Princess Yongchuan made Wu Siyue heave a sigh of relief.

For some unknown reason, Princess Jiale hinted that Princess Yongchuan was suspicious.

When she heard Baili Hongyi's words, she also thought of Princess Jiale's words in her mind.

Now it seems that it was just a false alarm.

Wu Siyue thinks so, but Jia Le doesn't think so.

If she heard about it, she would think it was too coincidental.One is a coincidence, two or?

Sure enough, after Linchuan Bieye was discovered, Jiale made such remarks.

"Isn't this obviously abandoning the pawn to protect the car? Even if Linchuan Bieye is under the name of Duke Xunshan, it is still under the name of Yongchuan Princess. If Wu Siyue doesn't ask, who knows that Linchuan Bieye belongs to Liu Xiang? Everyone I thought it belonged to Yongchuan."

Nong Yue said: "Princess, isn't Princess Yongchuan just like Baili Gong, a victim who was kept in the dark?"

Jia Le: "That's not the same. One is being deceived as a scapegoat, and the other is being ignored as an umbrella."

"Liu Xiang and Duke Baili took Liu Xiang and gave up Baili; Liu Xiang and Princess Yongchuan took Yongchuan and gave up Liuxiang. The choices are different, how could it be the same?"

Nongyue: "Princess, I heard that the crown prince was assassinated that year, which was related to the Spring and Autumn Dao. Princess Yongchuan will still work for the Spring and Autumn Dao?"

Jia Le pondered for a moment, "Maybe... the prince was assassinated in a fake way?" He directed and acted a play for the saint?

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the reinforcements to come, just take the prince and escape, but leave the murderer alone, right?

If they were a gang, it would make sense.

Fufeng and Nongyue looked at each other.

Jia Le, a conspirator, said: "Think about it, the crown prince wants to hand over the throne to his Yue family, the sage was furious and kicked him off the throne. If it wasn't for this bitter trick, wouldn't he not even be able to keep the crown prince?"

"After all, he is not the only son of a saint."

Her father is still there!

"Nowadays, the sage is very old, and no one knows how the country will be arranged after her old man. It is not surprising that the prince's family has a rise in the Spring and Autumn Dao."

Nongyue was speechless and said: "Princess, thanks to the cleanliness of our house, you must never say this in front of outsiders from now on."

Fu Fengdao: "Princess, if Lian Fang hadn't lost his love and desire, you should have joined Lian Fang."

"Tch! Desperation and desperation..." Jia Le sneered as he shook his round fan.

Wu Siyue, Gao Bingzhu, and Baili Hongyi left the city together and headed straight for Linchuan Bieye in the suburbs.

The people in Linchuan Bieye Zhuangzi are very strange.If you don’t drink the water in the river, you have to go far to fetch water; if a child wants to tell the truth, he will be stopped by adults.

Eighty percent of them were sealed.

"They should smelt copper upstream, so the water downstream cannot be drunk." Baili Hongyi said.

The three of them touched the upper reaches, and indeed they found the copper smelting workshop.

Xunshan Gongfu.

Outsiders will definitely feel weird when they see this scene.

Xunshan Gong Liu Xiang stood with his head bowed; his bodyguard Yuan Fei sat with a big horse and sword, drinking tea leisurely.

Liu Xiang: "Linchuan Bieye has been exposed. Fortunately, we have prepared for it, and the secret will not be leaked."

Yuan Fei: "You don't need to worry about this. You just need to do what you promised."

Liu Xiang hesitated, "Since the secrets of Shinto will not be revealed..."

Yuan Fei glanced over, "What? You want to go back on your word? Don't worry, I know Qiniang is the one you worry about the most. As long as you do what you promised, Qiniang will be safe."

Liu Xiang was forced to die.

This is what he promised.Once exposed, commit suicide to keep the Shinto secret.

"Liu Xiang is dead?" When Baili Hongyi heard the news, he didn't know what it was like.The matter of the copper mine has not been clarified yet, and Liu Xiang is already dead.

"Yes, in the Xunshan Duke's Mansion." Wu Siyue said, "He didn't go to Zhoushan, nor did he travel far. He has been in the Xunshan Duke's Mansion. He lied to Qiniang. Maybe he knew that he would die in advance, and he was in advance. Qiniang has made arrangements."

"I didn't expect him to entrust Qiniang to you," Wu Siyue looked at Baili Hongyi, "What are your plans?"

"He was certain that I wouldn't do anything to Qiniang." Baili Hongyi squeezed his fists, "How did he die?"

"Take poison and commit suicide." Wu Siyue said.

"What did he say before he died?"

"'You gang of dying people are still trying to find out the truth. You should take a good look at this world, the world that is about to overthrow.'" Gao Bingzhu said.

He went to Xunshan Duke's mansion to inquire about the whereabouts of Chunqiu Dao and the hand-halberd killer.Liu Xiang said that he was Chunqiu Dao, and then told him such inexplicable words.

"What does he mean by that?" Baili Hongyi asked.
