When Tong Baimei told, Zhu Qigu listened silently. After talking about the city being broken, hundreds of officials attending the Tian Palace to discuss matters, and welcoming the new crown prince, Tong Baimei said: "I witnessed the battle of breaking the city, and the officials entered the palace to discuss matters.
I have not seen it, but it is said that the corpses of your brother and the emperor were in the palace at that time. No one touched it. All the officials present witnessed your brother's death with their own eyes. There is no doubt that the usurpation of the throne will backfire. Junior sister, if you want to take this revenge,
If you want revenge, to be fair, you should take revenge from the True Master Hall. No one is the murderer of your brother, he committed suicide himself!"
Zhu Qigu remained calm and continued to ask, "What happens next? Senior brother, please continue."
Tong Baimei then went on to talk about the fire at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the return of the White Crane, the ascension of Patriarch Longyang, etc. These were all things he had seen with his own eyes. Although he was not good at words, he still felt a sense of magnificence at the scene.
After listening, Zhu Qigu pondered for a moment and asked: "What happened before the fire in the Ancestral Temple? How did Heavenly Master Shao become immortal?"
Tong Baimei shook his head: "I don't know this. They say that Master Shao spent his whole life cultivating to break the red formation, so he became an immortal and saved millions of people."
Zhu Qigu asked again: "Then do you know where this red formation came from?"
Tong Baimei said: "Don't they all say it is related to Bai He's return? Some people say it is Bai He's calamity."
Zhu Qigu shook her head: "It's just a rumor, not entirely true. Have you ever heard of any true master of the True Master Hall who personally confirmed it?"
Tong Baimei thought for a while and said: "It has never happened before...doesn't the teacher know? Uncle Dongfang is the heavenly master sitting in the Baojing Pavilion. Please ask the teacher to come forward and we will know."
Zhu Qigu said sadly: "If Yang Cheng wants to tell me, how can I come to Baimeigang like you? He just doesn't want to tell... In fact, he could just tell me lies, but he doesn't want to
Lie to me..."
Seeing her like this, Tong Baimei sighed and persuaded: "Junior sister, it's better to keep an open mind about anything. The teacher doesn't want you to stand up for Mr. Zhu. His death is your own fault. This is justice.
It can’t be avenged unless it’s a personal vendetta!”
That night, Zhang Xian came back after hunting a wild boar. The top management of Baimei Port was still Tong Baimei and the three of them. They treated Zhu Qigu to a meal of Hengduan Mountain's specialties. In addition to setting up a bonfire and roasting the wild boar whole, they also picked the wild boar.
A lot of unique and delicious mushrooms are cooked into the soup.
Zhu Qigu is a great alchemist and a very famous female cultivator in the spiritual world. She once caused a bloody storm in Xixia. The glazed palace lantern in her hand can emit the light of seven treasures, which makes Buddhists talk about it. She also has a noble status in the imperial family, and is also a member of the imperial family.
Zhang Xian and Lou Huanqiu deliberately curry favor with the wife of Chu Yangcheng, the newly-minted Heavenly Master who is known as the most talented Taoist sect. They fully displayed the wild cooking skills they have developed in the past few months, making Zhu Qigu very satisfied with her meal.
Especially the wild boar, which was skewered on a bonfire and roasted until its skin was charred and its flesh was yellow. Oil dripped continuously, splashing into the fire and making a sound. Looking at it made me feel happy, and hearing it made me salivate.
Zhu Qigu ate happily, tearing off a piece from time to time and stuffing it into the child's mouth. The child kept smacking his lips and exclaiming how delicious it was.
Tong Baimei looked at Zhu Qigu and the children beside her through the smoke and fire, and a warm feeling arose spontaneously. It would be great if it could always be like this.
Unfortunately, such a moment was too short, and it was destined not to last long. Zhu Qigu stayed in Baimei Port for three days, and after subduing a highly cultivated spirit wolf with them, she was ready to leave.
"I made an agreement with Lan'er that she will stay in Baimei Port for another month and please take good care of her, Senior Brother."
Tong Baimei was stunned: "What does junior sister mean?"
Zhu Qigu said: "I haven't been back to the Central Plains for several years. I plan to go back for a visit. The journey is hard, and I'm afraid Lan'er won't be able to bear it, so I'll leave her here first."
Tong Baimei said: "Are you still determined to give up?"
Zhu Qigu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether we give up or not, I just want to go back and have a look."
Tong Baimei was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his head: "I will keep an eye on the child. Don't worry, I won't give up this old life, and I will never let anything happen to her."
Zhu Qigu said: "Senior brother is taking care of you, so I can rest assured."
Tong Baimei asked: "When will you come back?"
Zhu Qigu shook her head: "It's hard to say. If I haven't returned in one month, please ask senior brother to send the child back to Yunji Island." Then she handed over a chart: "This is the location of Yunji Island. Thank you for your hard work, senior brother.
"
Tong Baimei took it and rubbed the chart without saying anything. Zhu Qigu said: "After all, you are a teacher, so let's go and have a look. Yangcheng...has been very sad about you..."
Tong Baimei finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you, I will send the child back when the time comes. I would also like to advise junior sister, after all, we are husband and wife. If there is something we can't get over, do we have to run away from home?"
Zhu Qigu smiled and shook her head: "You finally recognize that Yang Cheng and I are husband and wife."
Tong Baimei sighed: "The matter has come to this, the child is so old, what can I do even if I don't recognize him?"
Zhu Qigu said: "Senior brother, I'm really happy that you can say that. If you have time, go to Yunji Island to see your teacher more often. He misses you very much."
Tong Baimei asked: "When will you set off?"
Zhu Qigu glanced at Lan'er, who was playing with Lou Huanqiu next to her, and said, "Midnight, otherwise the child will make a fuss. When she wakes up tomorrow, tell her mother to buy candy for her."
Zhu Qigu boarded the ship in the middle of the night, and Tong Baimei watched the ship sail away. Looking at the palace lantern on the bow of the ship that was blooming with light and pointing the direction, she felt extremely complicated. She returned to the wooden building and took the sleeping Lan'er into her room.
He covered her with a thin quilt, sat next to her, and looked at her cute and delicate face. His thoughts flew back to so many years ago.
After more than ten days of sailing, Zhu Qigu's boat docked at Longjiang Pier. Looking at the majestic cross-river bridge in the distance, she was very shocked. She even spent a couple of silver to offer incense and worship at Jiangdu Temple.
.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, some dropped a penny and bowed to worship, and some spent money to offer incense like Zhu Qigu. The custom in the temple did not ask many questions, just bow. If you have less money, they will not stop you from crossing the bridge. If you have more money,
I won't make up for it either.
Zhu Qigu walked back and forth on the bridge before getting off the bridge and entering the city with still unfinished thoughts.
During the great changes in the capital in the 29th year of Jiajing, the one who fought against his elder brother Zhu Xianxian was his cheap godbrother Zhao Zhiran. Zhu Qigu knew that this was not a personal feud, and she also knew that her brother had brought the blame on himself. No wonder Lou Guan, but she always felt a little knotty in her heart, so she
He hesitated to go to Jiming for the time being to see his younger brother who was flourishing in the capital.
Prince Qi's mansion had been confiscated, but her eldest princess's mansion was fine, so she quietly entered the mansion. The servants were still on duty, indicating that the court and the clan still treated her as before, and did not care about Zhu Xianjian's rebellion.
It involves her.
Perhaps, this is also related to the preservation of the cheap brother Zhao Zhiran, Zhu Qigu thought.
Of course, no one noticed her entering the palace. At midnight, she came out of her sleeping tent, jumped over the high wall, and ran towards the palace.
