Qi Yu feels that he is really getting younger as he lives longer. Not only is he full of energy, but his endurance has also increased.
This grinding process actually lasted all night long.
well……
It's really time for me to take stock of myself.
In this cold weather, simplicity and quickness should be advocated. How can it be prolonged?
What to do if you catch a cold due to cold?
Quickly, hide under the quilt to keep warm.
Just when he was about to sleep contentedly, he heard Huang Fei's voice suddenly coming from the yard.
"Master Qi, I encountered a sudden situation, and I would like to ask you to give me some advice."
"Oh? Wait a moment..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu quickly put on his clothes and hurriedly walked out.
However, just after taking two steps, he turned around reluctantly and said, "Madam, you go to sleep first, don't stay up late waiting for me."
Liu Quan had long been accustomed to this. She smiled calmly to express understanding and said: "My husband is busy, but don't think about your wife. It's freezing outside, so be careful not to catch a cold."
"Um……"
After saying goodbye to his beloved wife, Qi Yu went straight to the courtyard.
But they saw Huang Fei standing there very seriously.
"If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly."
"Lord Qi, the few smart workers we sent out have all gone without return. Not only that, not even a single feedback message has been sent. Based on my rich experience analysis, they are probably in danger now.
.”
"What's the worst?"
This needs attention!
If the craftsmen were really poisoned, it means that King Jing Xian and others currently hold a force organization with offensive capabilities.
I really underestimated him before.
The horse's stumble this time was a wake-up call, and we need to be more vigilant in the future.
"From now on, we will recall all the spies outside so that they will not be in danger again. After I finish my work for the past two days, I will go there to check it myself."
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true! At present, the enemy is in darkness and we are clear. It is indeed not appropriate to act arbitrarily before the actual situation is clear."
Qi Yu nodded and said: "Next, you go to the Yongchuan government office and ask them to dispatch more government officials and try their best to maintain local security. Now that the New Year is approaching, we must let the people live a peaceful Spring Festival.
"
Huang Fei responded, and then said: "Don't worry too much about the government office. Since Mrs. Da came to Yongchuan Mansion, the magistrate who knows how to handle things has immediately raised the security alert. However, since you have reminded me, I will inform you again.
Just give them a shout."
After a pause, he added: "What Huang is really worried about is the unveiling ceremony of the National Lady's Memorial Archway the day after tomorrow. On that day, there will definitely be a sea of people and a lot of excitement. However, this noisy atmosphere also brings trouble to those who are in the dark.
'They' have created the conditions for making trouble. If they take advantage of this opportunity to make big plans, it will be difficult to fully prevent it."
This concern is not unreasonable.
The large number of people is certainly lively, but it also brings considerable difficulties to security.
Otherwise, cancel this event?
Absolutely not!
It's only once in a lifetime that the two lovers return to their hometown in Ning under the aura of the country's ladies. They can't just give up on it because of some theoretical concerns, right?
If this spreads out, how can they say that Taoism is noble in the future?
Moreover, I have asked the prefect of Yongchuan to issue a widespread announcement, sincerely inviting the neighbors within the jurisdiction to come and watch the ceremony. If I cancel it, it will be a serious breach of trust.
If a person has no faith, he will not stand firm.
If he had committed a dishonest act, how could he have the dignity to be called Shaobao?
No matter what considerations are taken, this grand event must be held as scheduled. It can neither be canceled nor delayed.
In this case, it is necessary to make more preparations to meet unexpected needs.
"Quickly send a message to the Qiongzhou Prefecture Army lurking outside the city, instructing them to disguise themselves and disperse throughout the venue on the day when the lottery is announced. If there is an emergency, they will immediately be at my call.
"
"Okay! Huang will do it now!"
After Huang Fei left, Qi Yu did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but stood there and thought.
At present, there are eight princes secretly causing trouble, and a female spy suspected of being Fusang is plotting evil. Both of these are shrouded in mystery, but we can't get even the slightest hint of the truth.
The current situation is indeed as confusing as Huang Fei said.
Suddenly!
Qi Yu suddenly had a bold idea: Is there any correlation between the two?
Forget it, no more guessing, everything will become clear when the truth comes to light.
Objectively speaking, these things cannot scare Qi Dalang, who has experienced many battles.
If you can escape the stormy waves in the imperial city, you won't accidentally capsize in a small ditch, right?
there is always a solution to a problem.
Let's take advantage of each other.
…
This day finally arrived, the traditional Chinese festival - the Little New Year before the end of the year.
According to the customs passed down from our ancestors, this day is for cleaning the house and worshiping the Kitchen God.
There is nothing special about cleaning the house, as long as it is clean and tidy, it is pretty much it. But now, with so many followers around, it is not necessary for the whole family to do it.
However, Ms. Zhou insisted on cleaning herself and made it clear that she did not need anyone's help.
Others couldn't resist, so they had to let her go.
Regarding worshiping the Stove King, there are some things to pay attention to.
As the saying goes, men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the stove. This kind of traditional festival ritual is usually done by the men in the family.
However, the Qi family is an exception.
Every New Year's Eve, Liu Quan would involuntarily pay homage once or twice, and he would also chant this and that to the water ghost, and at the end, he would end his prayer with the sentence "Thunder God, please don't take him in".
Qi Yu has long been accustomed to this matter.
As expected, as soon as the sacrifices were placed, Liu Quan was the first to approach.
What was different from previous years was that this year she actually asked the Kitchen God to consecrate a silver longevity card.
"Madam, consecrating things is a Buddhist teaching. Taoism does not have this theory."
"It doesn't matter. Isn't my mother often nagging that the gods and bodhisattvas in the sky are neighbors on the left and right? They look up and don't see each other when they look down. When they communicate with each other, don't Taoist gods learn it?"
this……
All right!
Seeing that he was becoming more relieved, Liu Quan showed a satisfied smile.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the warm scene when her husband put jewelry on her for the first time.
So, she took this as a reference and said: "Today, let my wife wear this silver medal on you, so that the Kitchen God can bless you with a long life."
After saying that, Liu Quan hung the object around her husband's neck.
In fact, Qi Yu really wanted to tell his wife that the Kitchen Lord was only responsible for the fire and the pot, and he could not overstep his authority and exercise the power of the Lord of Hell to control people's longevity.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Not only that, he also showed a confident expression.
