prince's rivers and lakes

Chapter 211 Phoenix Yu Fei
This post station is the place where officials from other places finish sorting out, take a rest, and communicate with Yousi Yamen before entering Beijing.

Sometimes because of some procedural and etiquette needs, I even spend several months here - the longest record is that in the third year of Yuanfeng, Tang Yequ, the governor of Jiangnan Province, went to Beijing to plead guilty, but was rejected by an imperial decree. A whole year was wasted in the middle.

Later, this station was even jokingly called the Jiangnan Small Yamen, and official documents from the Jiangnan Provincial Yamen were sent here in an endless stream for Tang Yequ to process.

There are too many people coming and going in the post station, and there are many people who live there for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be various needs, and post prostitutes also came into being.

Since it is possible to operate a flesh and blood business in the post station, it naturally belongs to the official background like the Jiaofang Division.

It's just that the girls of the Jiaofang Division are under the management of the Ministry of Rites, but these post prostitutes are from the Ministry of Officials. Some people say that the officials are jealous of the income of the Jiaofang Division, and some people know the inside story, saying that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is going to the Jiaofang Division. When he was angry, he simply got a post prostitute out.

This is of course nonsense. If you want to whore, you have to rush to various post stations in the city, which is obviously too embarrassing for the pampered Lord Shangshu.

Qin Shou'an is more aware that the post prostitutes are in charge of the father-in-law or female officials in the palace, and they are all spies.

Some officials doubted the identity of the post prostitutes, and would say something about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in their dreams, trying to curry favor with the palace.

Some of them didn't know it, and they talked nonsense without any scruples. In the end, they didn't know what was going on until the black hat fell off.

The teacher of the Yu Tuan took out the document for changing horses, and the postmaster hurriedly led the tired horse to the stable to change horses.

"This beauty, are you going on the road with my husband? You see, the night is dark and windy, the road is difficult, and it is easy for people to turn their backs on their backs." A thin man with a lightning scar on his forehead approached with a smile.

"You man, don't talk nonsense. There are constant bonfires on the straight road. Why is the night dark and windy, and the road difficult?" Master Yu Tuan was a monk, and felt that the other party was smiling, and his words and deeds were frivolous, but he didn't think it was disobedient. Take a few steps back to avoid the heavy alcohol smell on the opponent.

"Then you can come and rest for a while... I have good wine and good food here. Wouldn't it be nice to call your husband over and eat and drink together?" The scarred man pointed to the tea booth, where everyone was drinking and eating meat together , a whole beef leg was roasting beside the stone table, the charcoal fire was blazing, and the roasted beef leg was emitting oil.

These people dressed in different clothes, apparently some were traveling together, while others gathered temporarily to eat and drink.

They took a small knife, cut off a piece, dipped it in small ingredients and stuffed it into their mouths. People in the Jianghu have good teeth, eat meat and drink, and then chew the stewed beef tendon next to it finely, and enjoy it.

"Thank you..."

Master Yu Tuan was about to refuse, thinking that His Highness must have not had dinner yet, and he was on his way non-stop. After all, he was just a child who could not reach the ninth rank. Like Heiji Baiji, he had not grown up in the eyes of Master Yu Tuan Old age is the age that needs care and pity.

"Then I'll use some beef."

After finishing speaking, Master Yu Tuan unsheathed her long sword from her waist, and waved it like snow. A few flashes of lightning flashed in the air, and peeled a bamboo outside the tea pavilion into a peeled bamboo stick.

Under the stunned gaze of many Jianghu guests, the Yutuan master made a few more sword strikes, cut a large piece of beef and stacked it on a bamboo stick, then picked it up and walked out of the post station, walking towards the station where the horse stopped under the shadow of the roadside tree. Qin Shouan.

"Your Highness, let's have something to eat first." Master Yu Tuan raised the bamboo stick high up.

Qin Shouan saw Night Breeze parting her gauze curtain, Master Yu Tuantai's beautiful eyes were full of concern and anticipation, she took it first, but still thought it was a little funny, where did she get such a big beef skewer? ah?

It is completely possible to open a Lanzhou beef noodle shop.

The group of people from the rivers and lakes were horrified when they saw Master Yu's superb swordsmanship just now, and they followed out to see this scene. They just wanted to say that this little lady is really virtuous, but one of them saw Master Yu's under the veil. face, could not help exclaiming: "Master of Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery, may I ask if you are the master of the Yu Tuan?"

The characteristics of the yoga group masters are quite obvious and unusual.

The teacher of the Yu Tuan took off her round hat and nodded slightly.

"It's a crime, the little one deserves to die!" The man with the scar quickly apologized, then slapped himself hard on the left cheek, slapped himself dizzily, and sat staggeringly on the ground.

Other people from the Jianghu hurriedly put their palms together to salute. This Ji Jingzhao Temple is only a royal temple, not a Jianghu sect, but its reputation is no less than those of those Jianghu sects. All kinds of rewards are used to help the poor, and they are highly skilled in medicine, and they don't receive a penny for medical treatment.

Such a highly respected monk, no matter how rebellious the Jianghu people are, must maintain some respect, especially those who are active in Longyin City and its vicinity, and they know that the martial arts realm of these masters is unfathomable.

The teacher of the yoga group smiled back.

Everyone saluted and raised their heads, their eyes fell on the noble young master who was still on the horse, and they couldn't help wondering, what kind of person must it be to sit on the horse so carelessly, and accept the meat from the teacher of the Yu Tuan so calmly?
"Fu...fu lord!"

Finally someone recognized the court clothes of the Fujun of the Kyushu Prefecture, "See the Fujun!"

I knelt down.

The man with the scar was sweating profusely and almost fainted. He didn't have any intention of doing anything wrong, but he just thought that he met a beautiful woman on the road and wanted to meet a young couple...

It's okay to know that the beauty is the mistress of Ji Jing Zhaojian Nunnery, but this man is actually the governor of Kyushu Prefecture!

"Get up..." After Qin Shouan finished speaking, he saw that everyone got up, but one of them had his forehead pressed to the ground, trembling all over.

The identity of the governor of Kyushu Prefecture is not so terrible for people like Feng Yaoguang and Fairy Jiayun from the Seven Star Sword Gate of the ancient bottle, but for people from ordinary backgrounds without the support of a big sect and a strong background, That's no different from a chicken tile dog meeting a real dragon.

"Your Majesty, just now Haribo..." Someone next to him immediately explained, and pleaded for mercy: "I also ask your Majesty to order us brothers to deal with him! Guaranteed that he will never dare to talk dirty again in the future."

"Master Yutuan is not unhappy...get up, it's okay." Of course Qin Shou'an would not be so stingy, but just urged earnestly:

"Elders, children and women in the Jianghu, if you can't touch them, don't touch them. Especially women, be careful that she punches you, you may not be able to bear it, ruin your reputation, and sexual death in the Jianghu is also possible."

Although he didn't understand it very well, Haribo also knew that the Fujun didn't mean to blame him, so he stood up and nodded to listen to the teaching.

The postmaster brought the horse over, respectfully handed it over to Mrs. Yu Tuan, but secretly laughed in his heart, what a bunch of idiots, they hold the post pass in the palace, you can play with the status of the official?
It's a pity that these two seemed to be very generous, and they didn't beat up the group of guys who made the tea pavilion full of smoke.

Master Yu and Qin Shouan continued on their way. Qin Shouan ate a few mouthfuls and then handed the bamboo stick to Master Yu.

Teacher Yutuan showed some charming smiles, but she refused to eat in front of Qin Shouan. Instead, she took off her round cap, turned her head to face him, and took a small bite.

"Master, like us riding a horse, we can stuff our mouths with big mouthfuls of meat." Qin Shouan knew that Yu Tuan's master had excellent lip and tongue skills, and even if his mouth was full of beef, he could easily use all the organs in his mouth. parts and muscles, chew slowly and flexibly.

"Hmm..." Master Yu just snorted, then turned around and handed back the bamboo stick to Qin Shouan.

He looked at the rest of the beef and rolled his tongue out. Master Yu Tuan happened to turn her head to see this scene, her cheeks suddenly flushed with a light pink, and she quickly ate the beef in her mouth while reciting the Heart Sutra silently.

"By the way... Hei Ji and Bai Ji, they will definitely not be so obedient, I guess they are a few miles behind us." Some pictures of that night appeared in the mind of Master Yutuan, and hurriedly used that Two people to divert attention.

After all, whenever one thinks of them, whether it's Yu Tuan Shitai or Qin Shou'an, they will involuntarily frown, and don't have any thoughts about charming things.

"Last time I heard from the owner of the mountain that she pinned her hopes on their special physiques, so that three great masters could appear in Riyue Mountain at the same time." Qin Shouan didn't hold much hope for this, as the physiques of Hei Ji and Bai Ji were indeed very good. They are more than usual, but when it comes to talents, I feel that they are still somewhat inferior to Qin Shouan.

Qin Shouan still doesn't have the confidence to reach the realm of the great master, let alone these two people who don't want to think about normal things all day long?

If they become great masters, no one will care about them anymore. Qin Shouan can't even imagine how the world will be messed up by them.

"Take your time... Master is in his prime, and the status of the great sect in the world does not necessarily depend on more great masters." The teacher of the Yu Tuan said quite proudly. Yueshan is still very high.

Riyue Mountain and Tiandaomen have always been neck and neck giants in the rivers and lakes. When the relationship between Riyue Mountain and the palace became more and more close, the disciples of Tiandaomen became the governors of Kyushu Prefecture. Balance again.

"By the way, why did Bai Ji call you the Seventh Senior Sister?" Qin Shouan couldn't believe it, the Yu Tuan Shitai was only ranked seventh in Riyue Mountain?
Although the order of seniority is not based on strength, it clearly shows that there are at least seven powerful ninth ranks like Yutuan Shitai in Riyue Mountain.

Song Yuanqiao is not the one with the highest martial arts among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, but Chong Huamei should be the one with the highest martial arts among the second generation disciples of Riyue Mountain.

"In addition to Senior Sister in the palace, we also have Second Senior Sister and Third Senior Sister sitting in Riyue Mountain. With Master's deterrence, other elders will not ignore Second Senior Sister and Third Senior Sister. It’s fairly organized, and it’s all thanks to the two senior sisters, they’ve worked harder than the rest of us.”

The teacher of the Yu Tuan said with some shame that each of them performed their own duties at first, and never thought about who worked harder, but recently the teacher of the Yu Tuan often had some wild dreams, and seemed to be disturbed by what happened that night, and she still hasn't calmed down. And the other senior sisters seemed to take it as usual, and didn't look forward to it like the masters of the Yutuan...

Such a change of mind made Yutuan Shitai sometimes wonder whether he should change places with the two senior sisters and return to Riyue Mountain to calm down the cracks in his mood, so as not to become more and more indulging in the relationship between men and women.

It's just that I didn't expect that the task of picking up His Highness today would be handed over to her again. The corner of Yu Tuan Shitai's eyes softly enveloped the handsome and young His Highness, she seemed like those young nuns in the nunnery.

The two chatted all the way, and it was already midnight when they arrived at Jingjing Zhaojian Nunnery.

For Qin Shouan, who used to rush on the road without sleep, this kind of journey was really nothing.

There is no moon tonight, only starlight shrouds the Kunlun Mountains and the Silent Zhaojian Nunnery that covers the foot of the mountain and climbs up the mountain.

Qin Shouan jumped off his horse, and his own sergeant led the horse away. He noticed from ten miles away that the security around the area had become extremely tight tonight.

He even saw the banner of the commanding envoy in front of Gui Xianren's Hall. This master, who was considered "invincible in Dragonsong City" by his father Qin Heng, had already left the palace and stationed nearby.

Undoubtedly, the news of the Mountain Lord's birth also reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, and the Mountain Lord must have been relatively weak when he gave birth, and his kung fu was no longer at its peak. Enemies from the rivers and lakes came to the door.

For example, the great master who was forced to retreat by the mountain lord on the night when the Tang family in Junhai destroyed their family many years ago.

Does this also mean that the Empress Dowager knew that Qin Shouan had a baby with her best friend?
Hey, in fact, after the mountain owner has a big belly, he can't hide it.

As for those foreign pilgrims who protested against the Empress Dowager's monopolization of the Silent Zhaojian Nunnery, they thought that they would not go if they did not go to the nunnery to offer incense, and the temporary shacks had also been relocated ten miles away.

Qin Shouan sensed the vigilant and cautious gazes in various dark places and locations suitable for setting up sentry posts. He was lucky. Most of the experts in the palace had called out a lot of them. Rubbing will most likely be discovered by the masters in the palace.

"Your Highness, this way please." Master Yu Tuan still had a calm expression and a gentle smile.

As a master at the pinnacle of the Ninth Rank, even in the face of Guixian, his mood will not fluctuate... The only thing that can make Master Yu too disturbed is what happened that night and His Highness in front of him.

"Please." Qin Shouan nodded, and suddenly raised his head to look towards the northwest corner of the Kunlun Mountains.

Where is Guanhai Tingtao Cliff, it is also halfway up the mountain where Qin Shouan and Xiao Riyue went together, and now in the starry sky behind that place, there seems to be a nebula that is illuminated red by the vast universe.

The red light scattered, wrapped countless stars, and covered most of the sky. Even the eternally bright galaxy, under that piece of red light, became much dim and empty.

"This red light... looks like a phoenix spreading its wings..." Qin Shouan said to Master Yu Tuan with some uncertainty.

"I don't think it looks like...it is a phoenix, which is a good omen for the birth of our little princess."

Master Yu looked too far away, and the scene of watching the sea and listening to Taoya cave emerged in his mind, the mysterious ancient bronze coffin, and the phoenix pattern made of blood-colored crystals...
