After seeing everyone off, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan got up and went to the study.
Luo Junyao didn't ask who Mr. Chonghua was. Judging from Xie Yan's attitude, she thought she should have guessed it.
The two of them stepped into the study and saw a familiar person sitting in the study. However, he had already changed into a lining, and his original bald head with scars was covered with black hair. He was wearing a khaki gown.
, the color that looked a little too young didn’t feel out of place on him.
When the two of them entered the door, he was sitting with a book and reading. He raised his eyes and glanced at the door when he heard footsteps.
The smile between his eyebrows was faint, but it carried a different kind of wantonness and evil.
Luo Junyao frowned slightly. She didn't know whether this adjective was appropriate for the man in front of her, but the middle-aged man sitting in the study was really different from what she had seen before. She almost didn't recognize that this was the nurse.
The eminent monk in charge of Guochen Temple.
It is said that the Yao family in Xinzhou has been a famous family for generations and has a scholarly reputation.
Although the man in front of him is already quite old, and there are already slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, the elegance and pride of being a noble son from a top aristocratic family can still be seen in his gestures and facial expressions.
"Don't you know me?" Master Mingguang put down the book and looked at Luo Junyao with a half-smile.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes, smiled at him and said, "The technique is good."
"What technology?" Master Mingguang was confused and confused for a moment.
Luo Jun said: "The technology of making wigs." There is no flaw at all. If you don't get closer, no one will be able to tell that the enviable black hair of the person in front of you is a fake.
Master Mingguang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and snorted softly: "No big, no small."
Xie Yan led Luo Junyao and walked in, "What's the matter with you coming here like this? Are you planning to return to secular life?"
Master Mingguang said calmly: "It's nothing serious. You haven't come to see me for several days, so I had to come into the city to see you. That dress is still a bit intrusive after all."
Neither Luo Junyao nor Xie Yan would believe this.
In the past twenty or thirty years, I had not seen Master Mingguang think about his nephew many times, and now it has only been a few days since they last went to Huguo Zen Temple.
Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao to sit down, lowered his eyes and said, "Are you here for Luan Yisi? The information is very well-informed."
Hearing this, Master Mingguang's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "So, Mingyin Pavilion is really related to Luanyi Si?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "For all these years, you haven't even figured out whether there is a relationship between Mingyin Pavilion and Luan Yisi?"
Master Mingguang snorted and said coldly: "Do you think Xie Bian would let me get involved in these things? Do you think Mingyin Pavilion is so easy to investigate? There were already some clues a few years ago, but who knew that the old guy in Mingyin Pavilion suddenly suddenly
died!"
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan and then at Master Mingguang, but hesitated to speak.
Master Mingguang glanced at her and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
Luo Junyao was not polite, "Why didn't Emperor Gaozu let you get involved in these matters? Why did my uncle have to leave home back then?"
Luo Junyao has always felt it was strange. The royal family obviously knew that the eldest son of the Yao family was alive and became a monk in the Huguo Zen Temple, but Princess Mu, who was one of the only remaining bloodlines of the Yao family, did not know. Master Mingguang seemed to also
It doesn't look like he has lost all hope and has seen through the world of mortals.
In the years since he became a monk, he has rarely met Xie Yan, it seems more like he was forced to do so.
It has been many years since the Yao family in Xinzhou fell. Even back then, the Yao family had no intention of fighting for power. The eldest son of the Yao family may indeed inherit the coveted connections and legacy of the Yao family, but a family that has been destroyed is not so feared that it needs him.
To the point where you can only survive by hiding your name, right?
Master Mingguang chuckled lightly, looked at Luo Junyao and said, "Little girl, you are not stupid at all. How can you think of this?"
Luo Junyao was depressed and didn't want to answer, so why bother attacking him personally?
Master Mingguang looked at Xie Yan with a smile and said: "Why don't you give this little girl to me, and my uncle will help you teach you for two years to ensure that the regent princess will reach a higher level?"
Xie Yan glanced at him warningly and said, "If you want to recruit a disciple, find someone else."
Master Mingguang sighed and said, "You are just too deeply poisoned by Xie Bian's legacy."
After saying that, he changed his tone and answered Luo Junyao's question, saying: "Xie Bian insisted on letting me become a monk and refused to let me get involved in these things because he was afraid that I would kill all the people. What happened later...probably because he was afraid that I would teach him bad things.
My nephew."
He spoke in a relaxed and leisurely manner, but Luo Junyao felt that there was a dark wind.
"Who did you kill?"
Master Mingguang said: "People of Shangyong."
"..." Luo Junyao opened his eyes wide and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was as handsome as a grandson. It took him a while to fully digest his words.
Emperor Gaozu did not allow Master Mingguang to participate in the secular world and forced him to become a monk incognito. Was he afraid that he would kill all the people in Shangyong?
Master Mingguang smiled and said: "You don't think that I became a monk after the Yao family fell, right? I stayed in the temple for several years, but I was officially ordained as a monk in the thirteenth year of Taining. Oh... Bai Kuan was also in that year.
dead."
Is this really a monster monk?
The "Monk" smiled very kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, little girl, I was more murderous in the early years. Now, after reciting Buddha's name for so many years, I have already lost all four elements."
"..." All four are empty, what are you still doing here?
Master Mingguang no longer frightened the little girl, and sighed: "In the early years, Xie Bian kept a close eye on me, so I had no choice but to recite the Buddha's name peacefully. Later, he died, and his son was also very annoying. He would run around every day.
After talking to me for a while, he was more annoying than his father. I thought he was my nephew. They are dead, and I can only find time to do something in the past few years."
Luo Junyao thought to himself: I understand, this man was probably a strategic-level nuclear weapon back then, the kind that would cause the entire Shangyong to fly into ashes and be annihilated.

Xie Yan looked at Master Mingguang thoughtfully and asked, "Did you give the Jinluan Talisman to Mingyin Pavilion?"
Master Mingguang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since you think Mingyin Pavilion is related to Luan Yisi, why don't you think that it is something they already have?"
Xie Yan said: "I did think that the Jinluan Talisman originally existed in Mingyin Pavilion, but then I thought about how the people in Mingyin Pavilion said they got it by accident a few months ago. This may not be a pretext. Now it seems that they are also there
Find the other half, if that half of the Jinluan Talisman has always been in their hands, and the Jinluan Talisman is really important, they won’t start taking action now."
Master Mingguang smiled and said nothing, and Xie Yan said: "So, what is the use of the Jinluan Talisman? I guess it is not used to order the Luanyi Division."
Master Mingguang smiled and said: "No matter how loyal the organization is, it will not be able to give orders with just a token after thirty or forty years."
"So?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.
Master Mingguang said: "Actually, I don't know either."
"..." Xie Yan and Luo Junyao both looked at the man in front of them, as if to determine whether he was joking.
Master Mingguang spread his hands and said: "I really don't know, if you know, what will I do if I throw the Jinluan Talisman out? I guess only Luanyi Si himself knows this secret. But... this kind of thing has only been done by a few people throughout the ages.
The answer is that Yu Ji did have the ambition to conquer the world back then, and what was hidden in the Jinluan Talisman was either money or soldiers."
This soldier does not refer to people but to weapons.
If you want to rebel, you will naturally need soldiers and horses, and an army needs weapons. Now that the world has settled, it is not easy to bypass the official government and build weapons that can equip an army.
"Why is the Jinluan Talisman in your hand?" Xie Yan asked.
Master Mingguang raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said leisurely: "What about this... More than twenty years ago, when I was wandering out, I encountered a little kid who was being chased. I rescued him. Later I found out that this little kid was not only interesting, but also seemed to be...
He was an ungrateful person, so I took half a piece of something that was barely valuable from him as payment."
Xie Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, "Yu Chen."
Master Mingguang seemed to have thought of something interesting, and said with a smile: "I feel sorry for General Cui. If I hadn't only taken half of the things back then, I would have taken them all.
If you kill him, maybe there won't be so many problems."
Although he said he was sorry, there was no look of guilt in his eyes and face, and there seemed to be a bit of interest.
Xie Yan was silent, and Master Mingguang looked at Luo Junyao, "My nephew and daughter-in-law, do you have any thoughts after hearing so many stories?"
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and said: "Uncle, when you went out and met Yu Chen who was being hunted, you got half a piece of Jinluan Talisman from him? He didn't know you, and he didn't know that it was the Jinluan Talisman of Luanyi Division.
?That’s why for so many years, no one has looked for that half piece of glass, and no one has troubled you? Don’t you know Yu Chen, and neither does Bai Jingrong?"
Master Mingguang laughed and said, "I don't even know Bai Kun, how can I know Bai Jingrong?"
Luo Junyao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, no matter how powerful Bai Jingrong is, she was originally just the eldest lady of the Bai family. It was impossible for her to come into contact with Luan Yisi during Yu Ji's lifetime, and naturally it was impossible for her to know Jinluan Fu.
.Then...how did you meet uncle?"
It seems that Master Mingguang and Bai Jingrong are actually about the same age and background. If Bai Jingrong doesn't know Jinluan Fu, Master Mingguang shouldn't either, unless he has some other luck.
Also, if Yu Chen had a complete Jinluan Talisman on his body back then, why did Master Mingguang only take half of it?
Master Mingguang looked at Luo Junyao with a smile and said: "How I know it, I can't tell you now, you can think about it yourself."
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes, leaned on Xie Yan's shoulder and ignored him.
She has little interest in guessing riddles.
Master Mingguang didn't care when he saw this, and turned his attention to Xie Yan, "Zhifei, what did you think of?"
Xie Yan asked: "When the Yao family was destroyed, was it related to Luan Yisi?"
Master Mingguang's eyes turned cold, and his originally somewhat lazy posture gradually straightened up.
Looking at his appearance, Xie Yan did not ask any further questions, nodded and said: "It seems to be related."
Master Mingguang snorted lightly and said calmly: "Zhifei, after enduring it for so many years, I am worthy of Xie Bian's kindness in saving my life and his help to the Yao family. My uncle has spent a lot of money in the past few years.
After a while, we have almost gathered the people. I'm afraid a lot of people will die this time, so don't hinder your uncle like your uncle and cousin. Otherwise..."
Xie Yan was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "In the affairs of the Yao family back then, the powerful people of Shangyong were involved."
Master Mingguang smiled and said nothing.
Xie Yan said: "I understand."
Master Mingguang left quickly. Before leaving, he only left one sentence, "If you have something to do, send someone to Fengya Tower in the west of the city to find me. I haven't been at the Huguo Zen Temple recently."
After seeing off Master Mingguang, the study became somewhat silent.
Luo Junyao leaned in Xie Yan's arms, raised his eyes to see his somewhat solemn expression, and held his slender hand comfortingly.
Xie Yan looked down at her and hugged her even more. The two of them leaned together without speaking for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed before Luo Junyao said softly: "It was my uncle who led Bai Jingrong and Yu Chen to Shangyong Lai, as well as Mingyin Pavilion and those people last night..."
It wasn't just Bai Jingrong's people who tried to snatch the Jinluan Talisman last night. There were at least three other people besides the Qi people. Even they didn't figure out who they were for a while.
And the eldest young master of the Fang family in Yingzhou probably did not get killed because of his unlucky publicity, but was guided by others.
Xie Yan said softly: "Don't be afraid, shake it, it's okay."
Luo Junyao said: "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you."
Master Mingguang obviously had monstrous murderous intentions, and Xie Yan was not only the grandson of the Yao family, but also the regent of Dasheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Can he really let Master Mingguang kill Shangyong Imperial City until it is a river of blood?
"Is it really just because of the Yao family's wealth that the Yao family was destroyed back then?" Luo Jun asked with a frown.
Xie Yan's voice was distant and he said softly: "Mr. Song just now said that the Fang family in Yingzhou was the richest in the world, but... very few people know now that the Yao family was truly the richest country in the world. Yao Yao thinks why King Mu married Yao Yun in the first place.
?Why did the Bai family marry the Yao family in Xinzhou? Is it really just because they have similar family backgrounds?"
Luo Junyao said, "I really haven't thought about it. I thought..."
Xie Yan laughed softly and said: "It is said that the Yao family is a family of scholars. If they say it too much, I am afraid that even the people who say it believe it. After hearing it too much, people in the world will take it for granted that the Yao family only has a rich heritage and a rich family history.
That’s all. In fact, the Yao family’s power covered the three states of Xin, Hui, and Qing at that time. At the end of the Dongling Dynasty, they were the largest maritime merchant in Dongling and owned the largest ocean-going fleet in Dongling. At that time, the Yao family traded overseas every year.
Exclusively 60%. The Fang family of Yingzhou today was just a small subsidiary family under the Yao family. Even now, the Fang family’s wealth is not even 30% of what the Yao family once was.”
Luo Junyao thought about it in his mind and objectively experienced the so-called wealth that can rival a country.
"So, when the Yao family was wiped out, who was involved?" Luo Junyao asked, "Is it really just because Gaozu didn't let his uncle take revenge because there were too many people involved and the impact was too great?"
Xie Yan was silent for a long time and said: "There is indeed this reason, but... I'm afraid the Xie family is also involved."
Luo Junshao was shocked, "But uncle is towards Gaozu..." Although Master Mingguang's tone sounded very dissatisfied with Gaozu, there was not much hatred in it.
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant, I meant... The Xie family, or the entire Dasheng, also benefited from the destruction of the Yao family. Conquering the world requires a lot of money. At that time, not only the Bai family was short of money, but also the Xie family
We’re also short of money.”
"The Yao family is so rich that they can rival the country. They just want to live in peace, but they didn't expect..."
Xie Yan held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the biggest mistake of the Yao family is that they have no ambition and no power to protect themselves."
In troubled times, with great wealth but no weapons. Surrounded by wolves, the Yao family is like a piece of delicious meat that is tempting to gnaw.
At this point, the head of the Yao family back then probably also needs to bear a lot of responsibility.
