Perhaps he was overworked on this journey and had to travel for days. After Boyi finished saying that, Yu Qiansi felt that his shoulders were much lighter. During the next five days of the journey, apart from diagnosing Wang Song's pulse and preparing medicine, he stayed in bed.
In the carriage, I slept in darkness.
When the Holy Driver arrived at Longyuan, it was already dusk.
Yu Qiansi then put on his riding clothes in a daze and rode his horse to follow the guards and the men of the Criminal Division.
The imperial mausoleum is located in the southeast outside Longyuan City.
Even if the light is dim, you can see a steamed bun mountain in the distance, hidden at the end of the sky, as if someone had made a rubbing from the painting outside Longyuan. However, the person who made the rubbing was not very good at cutting it neatly at the top of the mountain, leaving behind
A flat incision.
Boyi rode up to her and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Entering the Longyuan realm is the Lan family's sphere of influence. Don't forget what I said before."
Watch out for the Lan family.
Yu Qian looked around, nodded and whispered: "The terrain here is indeed somewhat interesting. The dead trees and bushes, the narrow paths and official roads, seem random and natural, but they all imply the arrangement of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Stars. When needed, just
Moving different things can have different effects."
It can even become a killing array.
Hearing this, Boyi's heart sank: "I heard that the ancestors of the Yi family, one of the four families, designed the drawings for Emperor Gaozu. I wonder if the Lan family will use them."
If the Lan family also knows how to use the formation, even the masters of the Imperial Guard and the Punishment Division may not be able to match it.
Entering Longyuan, wouldn't it be like entering the palm of the Lan family?
Yu Qiansi didn't take it seriously. The Imperial Guards who were opening the way stopped, and the Holy Driver also slowly stopped.
It should be an hour away from the imperial mausoleum, so why did it stop halfway up the mountain?
She waved her riding whip and walked around to the front of the team, followed closely by Boyi.
A group of people dressed in gray clothes stood on both sides of the road with altars offering incense.
The first man was a man in his twenties, with a broad face, deep eyebrows, and dark skin. He looked like a woodcutter wearing the wrong scholar's long shirt.
"The twenty-seventh generation of the Lan family, the acting patriarch Lan Shu, together with the Lan family members, respectfully welcome the Holy Master."
"Acting patriarch?" Yu Qiansi stood on the horse and looked at the surrounding terrain: "This place is still some distance from the imperial mausoleum. The Lan family is ordered to guard the imperial mausoleum, how can they leave without reason?"
"I dare not deceive you. The former patriarch has not returned from his travels. Since receiving the holy order, Lan Shu has been consulting the classics and preparing to welcome the holy king. I just found out a few days ago that according to the ancestral system, an altar should be set up here.
To offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth. I was preparing to leave after setting up the altar, but I didn’t want the Holy One to come. I was afraid of disturbing the Holy One in a hurry, so I could only stop and wait.”
Boyi approached Yu Qiansi and explained softly: "The Lan family can leave the imperial mausoleum after asking for permission."
I just don't know if it's still the same person I met when I was a child, or if he went to Yunyou with Jiang Jiqing's approval.
Yu Qiansi then nodded to Boyi, and Boyi turned the horse's head and went to the driver's office to inform him.
After a while, the palace people all lit up the big lamps, casting a warm light on this mountain col, like a snake snaking around.
Three clusters of whips sounded, and Yu Qiansi dismounted his horse together with everyone else, and stood with the imperial guards on the left and right, covering the entire road like a human wall.
Two palace men bowed and held lanterns to guide the way, followed by the emperor and his ministers.
When Jiang was clear, he walked slowly to the altar. The Lan family members bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting "Long Live the Mountain".
"Get flat."
Lan Shu then stood up, walked around the altar, and handed three sticks of incense to Jiang Jiqing.
"Your Majesty, your servant Lan Shu——"
Jiang Jiqing took the three sticks of incense from Lan Shu: "Thank you for your hard work."
With a voice that could not hide the tiredness of Green City, Jiang Ji calmly interrupted what Lan Shu wanted to say, turned to look at his side, and said to Lan Shu: "Bring over three more sticks of incense."
Lan Shu then looked at Jiang Jiqing's side. In the shadow of the candlelight, a woman stood quietly.
It was Su Niang who was all wrapped up in a cloak.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites behind him were extremely horrified when they heard what Jiang Jiqing said.
Lan Shu also stayed in place, but when she saw clearly that the emperor's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of anger, she quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, this servant is frightened. According to the great etiquette, only the queen of the palace can be with the emperor.
"Sacrifice."
This time, the courtiers unanimously spoke out and tried to dissuade her. Both the Qingliu Party and the Duke of Qi Party were wary of this woman of unknown origin. What's more, this woman is not even a concubine in the harem, so how can she be with the emperor?
Sacrifice together?
Especially the courtiers who have some relationship with Queen Zheng are not very good-looking.
Yu Qiansi was watching the wonderful scene with her arms folded, when Boyi quietly appeared beside her, shaking his head and sighing: "Why did he behave like this?"
Yu Qiansi raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled with interest: "I do think that this acting patriarch of the Lan family is somewhat interesting."
Boyi glanced at Lan Shu and understood what Yu Qiansi meant.
How could Lan Shu, who was thousands of miles away, tell at a glance that the woman next to the emperor was not the queen?
Or is it that the Lan family already knew about the attack on the holy driver, and was even more aware of the emperor being rescued by a village woman?
No matter which one, it is not something that the tomb keeper should be concerned about.
There was an ongoing argument in the compartment, and Su Niang finally begged the emperor to take back his life with a trembling voice. Jiang Jiqing reluctantly lit the incense, paid homage, turned around, held Su Niang's hand, and returned to the carriage with a cold face.
"I wonder if Your Majesty treats Su Niang sincerely..." Seeing Jiang being so clear, Boyi's words became even more worried.
"You choose your own path." After Yu Qiansi mounted his horse, he only left the emperor, who was pretending to be affectionate, with the corner of his eye. Instead, he kept staring at Lan Shu, who was leading the way for the imperial guards.
"Bo Yi, are you ready for the person you want to find?"
Boyi knew that Yu Qiansi was talking about Tufuzi.
The terrain of the imperial mausoleum is complex, and ordinary local masters who wander around at will may be surprised.
He looked back and forth and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he rode his horse and approached Yu Qiansi.
"Don't worry, I have some general knowledge of the situation of the imperial mausoleum. I have already found a suitable candidate before coming here. I believe he will arrive soon. I will inform him after we make a plan."
Yu Qiansi nodded and then thought that the candlelight in the dark night could not reach them riding horses.
"You weren't discovered, were you?"
If you want to find a local master, you have to go to the ghost market. But Yunzhong Jun looked at him with eager eyes last time and did not welcome people from the official family.
When Boyi heard this, he laughed happily, with a hint of naivety in his voice.
"I used someone else's identity to buy wedding stickers from Yunzhong City, so it should be fine."
"I know you're doing things properly, but you still have to be more careful, especially if you are a capable native."
Boyi said "Yes": "I have carefully inquired about this candidate. This person was adopted by a Kun Taoist since he was a child. He was originally a businessman, but later he went to help the Tufuzi for the sake of his daughter who was born with deficiencies at home.
We opened the tomb just to ask for some money to treat our daughter's illness. I agreed to take away the precious medicinal materials in the tomb."
Most of these medicinal materials are rare tributes and do not have royal marks. It is a rare opportunity for this person.
