The raft set off again, and this time the danger came and went quickly. When they came back to it, they couldn't help but be afraid.
"Has the hatred between the northern and southern branches of Anhe Daomen reached this level?" Hou Zi was very curious.
Lan Ruo's wonderful eyes turned to his face and said, "This Uncle Hei is looking for you, senior brother. Don't get confused."
The two of them watched Hou Zi search for the gangsters skillfully, "Third one, add three, one for each person, you pick first."
...One day later, the raft sailed into Sanjiang Mansion, which was theoretically completely safe. Although Anhe Taoist sect has been divided into two branches, it is still far from being clearly differentiated. These Taoists are still causing chaos throughout Anhe country.
Jump, even if they are not themselves, they cannot completely differentiate. The lower the level, the more blurry it becomes. In addition, there are still many who have not made a final decision.
Hou Zi was arranged by the two girls in a manor, which was the property of the Wen clan, but the original Wen clan members who did not know how to advance or retreat had long since disappeared.
I heard that the Taoist is very busy. She is the de facto number one person in the Three Realms of Tongtian in Bei'an and Yiyi. She has too many responsibilities placed on her, so she is not sure of her whereabouts.
He waited for three days, and if it didn't come, he could only say that there was still no luck.
His current identity is still a bit sensitive. In the Shanmen system, he can be regarded as a feudal official on the outside side. His contacts with Bei'an and Yiline are not too unscrupulous, so he can only use his private identity.
He was assigned to guard and handle matters in Pingliang Prefecture, not to contact external parties with Anhe Taoist Sect; within the scope of his authority, he could incidentally investigate the fact that Pingliang Prefecture's Central Military Office colluded with heretics, but there was a limit here that he needed to figure out.
On the third day, his last day in Sanjiang Mansion, he stood alone on the Wangyuan Tower in the city and paid his respects.
As I was gazing into the distance, a familiar voice came from behind me.
"I heard that you were almost killed by the leader of the Wu clan's underworld? You also implicated two of my closest disciples?"
Hou Zi turned around with a smile on his face, "As an old friend, would it be more polite for the fairy to take off her veil?"
The Taoist woman snorted and removed her veil. She always felt uncomfortable in front of this guy, an inexplicable feeling.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
"Can't you just come to see me if you have nothing to do? Let's chat and talk about our feelings. We haven't seen each other for decades. If we delay it any longer, our youth will be gone."
The Taoist woman glanced at him, "What does my youth have to do with you?"
Hou Ting looked at the face in front of him that was both happy and angry. It had not changed in any way due to the change of time. He sighed in his heart that there was actually some change. It was the remnant of time and experience deep in his eyes.
"There are two things that force me to come over and see you."
Hou Zi was very serious, "One is what you promised me. Regarding the truth about the murder of Taoist Chongling, I think I have the ability to know the truth now. You can't let me guess by myself. Once I guess wrong, it will be very troublesome."
One more thing, regarding the business dealings of Nan'an and Wu sect in Pingliang Prefecture, especially the Geng concentrate mine, I have been ordered to rectify the order of cultivation in Pingliang Prefecture. This is an unavoidable hurdle. I would like to hear your opinion.
.”
The Taoist woman glanced at him and said, "You are really unyielding. It would be inappropriate to leave this kind of thing to an outsider..."
"I'm not an outsider! I'm also a native of Anhe. Taoist Master Chongling promised me that he would take me back one day."
The Taoist lady was speechless, "You are just trying to justify yourself. You are claiming that there is nothing real. I asked you to come back a long time ago but you didn't come back. Now you are using this as an excuse. Do you think I am stupid?"
Hou Zi smiled softly, "This is no joke. Not only Taoist Chongling promised me, but also others."
The Taoist woman looked suspicious, "Who is it? Dare to make such a promise?"
Hou Ting smiled and did not answer, but raised a finger and pointed upward. Taoist A was a little helpless.
"Well, I hope you're not talking nonsense!"
A carved boat floats across the river, with the boatman silently taking punts and the singer singing softly. It is the most common sightseeing boat in Sanjiang Prefecture and the most popular among literati. However, the time is not right now and it is still a little early, so the boat seems empty.
.
The Taoist woman jumped lightly and was already standing on the bow of the boat, followed closely by Hou Zi.
The water surface is like a mirror, the wind god stands tall, and the two immortal figures make the boatman dare not say anything. But in a place like Sanjiang Mansion, where people are used to seeing cultivators, they are not surprised.
"... In the case of Taoist Chongling, there are three most important figures. Two are Taoist Anhe, and one is a monk from the Wu family. They are both already in the golden elixir realm and live in seclusion. You need to go twice as long to find them.
careful……"
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. This kind of thing is fun when you take your time. It's like hunting. Let them escape and struggle desperately. I will follow behind..."
The Taoist lady sighed, "You are no longer the same person you were in these years in Shanmen."
Hou Zi shook his head, "No, I've always been like this, and I've never changed. It's like this in Yanmen, and it won't be any different if I stay in Anhedaomen."
"We know something about the Wu clan's control of Geng concentrate through the Chamber of Commerce, and it has a direct relationship with Nan'an He. In fact, many casual cultivators in the Zhongjun Mansion in Pingliang Prefecture have more or less connections with Nan'an He.
I will tell you everything I know about the relationship, and I hope you can coordinate actions with us. After all, we also need such a business line..."
The carved boat slowly rowed across the river, and the two had an in-depth communication on the information they had mastered. As the most promising Tongtian monk in Bei'an and the lineage, Taoist Taoist herself has also been involved in many upper levels of Anhe.
The same is true for Hou Zi, who is guarding one side and is now on the same level as the Taoist Taoist in terms of status, no difference at all.
"Are we going to do it soon? Isn't it too hasty?"
Hou Zi did not hide it from her. In both public and private matters, this woman was the person he trusted most. "For the time being, we have to take another look. The key is not the businessmen and lackeys of the Zhongjun Mansion who are cheating on others. The key is the Langzhong people in the Mu Shuai Mansion."
Aboriginal people, this is my biggest headache, I need to be careful..."
The Taoist man understood what he meant, "Knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger? Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys? That's not bad. You can't offend everyone."
After thinking for a while, he still explained a little, "Although the situation of Anhe Daomen is divided into two branches, the north and the south, they are still torn apart. No matter which side is trying their best to control the risk of civil war, so the differences remain for the time being.
Conceptually, because of this, it is difficult for us to provide practical help when you do it."
Hou Zi nodded, "Understood, I am also from Anhe, and I don't want the Anhe country to be in chaos. I hope that some external influence can be used to promote reconciliation between the two parties at some time in the future, or that there may be an agreement between the Yanmen and the Wumen.
Clear results.”
The Taoist is a little apologetic, but from the perspective of everyone being peaceful, these concerns are not excessive.
