Ye Qing left the mansion and rode with Zhou Ling for a moment.
The bustle of Zhongyuan Festival has not ended. The red light of the temple fair shines half of the sky. The brothels and restaurants follow the gusts of night wind, and fragrant soft words come from the Hongfang District in the distance.
In the northern district, where officials reside, there are fewer people and there are soldiers patrolling. The public security is very good, but when there are no large or small cars crowded, compared to the festive scenery outside, it appears too deserted.
Amidst the quietness of the surroundings, only the autumn wind washes away the air. Ye Qing looked back at the leaning tower of the Governor's Mansion, lost in thought.
Seeing Zhou Ling silently following, Ye Qing remained silent and only pondered in her heart, "Speaking of the Yu family this time, it seems that the governor also feels the urgency of the situation and wants to gather strength and mediate hatred. After all, we are representatives of the top young generation in Yingzhou
But this matter is too heavy to be undone, and without any benefits, how can we reconcile it
Ye Qing was not worried that the governor would suspect the promotion of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
From an upper level perspective, this is just a trivial matter. Even the most meticulous censor in the Imperial Censorate's office can only record a sum of "borrowing the emperor to make profits" during supervision. As a new top scorer without a formal position, regardless of their future prospects, they have not yet taken office and have not joined the two major political factions of the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince. What is the benefit of biting Ye Qing?
There is no political benefit at all!
Even if the emperor saw it, it was just a smile.
At this moment, Ye Qing secretly felt proud and said, "I can see clearly. Although there was cheating, I didn't join those two, it's just a vast sea and sky. Otherwise, every move would have been magnified with a magnifying glass. How could I have blatantly seized the opportunity now
Young master, shall we go back to the branch for the night or where else
Now... "Ye Qing smiled, or went to see the legendary thing, and casually ordered," Let's go to the Yingzhou Ancestral Temple. Don't worry, we'll be back soon
Okay
Lingling, have you heard of... sealing the earth? "Ye Qing twisted her horse's head and gave a sudden smile as she spoke.
"What is that?" Zhou Ling did not understand. Ye Qing continued to laugh and did not answer. On Zhongyuan Festival, the night lights were like the day, the dragon and lion dances kept the city awake all day.
The two of them rode over on horseback and left the official residence. Along the way, they were bustling again.
Some wealthy households on the roadside hung colorful lights high, and the sound of crackling firecrackers gradually filled the ears, exuding a warm and joyful atmosphere. Pedestrians avoided the firecrackers one after another, and the road became congested.
Ye Qing had no choice but to dismount and lead, slowly following behind.
Following the flow of people passing in front of the ancestral temple, Ye Qing deliberately circled around halfway. The temple is built on the north side of the state capital, within the coverage of the state capital's legal formation. It has high walls and deep courtyards, and is covered in dense forests of locust trees. It has a restraining power fluctuation, which is enough to guard against surveillance and has a warning effect.
But under the operation of the four levels of Head's power and the reflection of the telepathic horn, the sea of hearts condensed like a mirror, with scattered starlight floating up and down, revealing a clear atmosphere. Unlike the blue of the previous mansion, it was a cold and pale red inside.
After half a circle without seeing any changes, Ye Qing turned around and left. She estimated that it hadn't started yet, and after calculating the time, it was just these few days.
Zhou Ling followed silently, puzzled by the purpose of making half a circle like this. She could tell from her observation that there was a strict security guard inside.
The area of the prefectural government is filled with civil servants above the rank of crimson robe. In the past, when I went to see my adoptive father, I didn't dare to show off! "Zhou Ling thought to herself, glanced at her own son, and followed him into the sea of lanterns.
Even with the usual eye-catching performance of the Black Dragon Horse, in this lively atmosphere, the taller and larger floats parading through the streets were filled with greetings, cries of sales, and laughter... Just two drops of water merged into the stream, and there was nothing unusual for a moment.
On the way back, even though Ye Qing was preoccupied, she could not help being affected by the atmosphere. She stopped in front of a small stall and took advantage of the wind to hang two bright red lanterns. Against the light red light, there were all kinds of happy Paper Cuttings, delicate and complicated: "Do you want to buy Lingling?"
Ah? "Zhou Ling followed all the time, then snapped out of her senses and turned to look at the street vendor. In fact, it was just average level with few bright spots, so she shook her head.
Ye Qing's mind was not here, so she remembered to ask casually and continued walking, "Let's go back
Mmm. "Zhou Ling's footsteps were much lighter, and she occasionally glanced at Ye Qing's profile along the way. She could tell that her young master was absent-minded.
Or perhaps there was an important matter at the ancestral temple just now... "Zhou Ling thought to herself, calming her mind. She never asked much about things that the young master didn't say.
Another group of scholars dressed in bright clothes rushed over, discussing recklessly which brothel to visit at night. Those who were knowledgeable saw that the Black Dragon Horse was extraordinary and turned to their companions for a few words before turning around and saying, "Dare to ask, brother
I saw Ye Qing wearing a dark green robe, a soft square scarf, dressed in an ordinary scholar's attire, but couldn't conceal his noble aura. He also had a beautiful and heroic maid accompanying him, or a prince from a certain mansion traveling in a low-key manner, afraid to approach and talk, and his unrestrained laughter was much quieter.
Ye Qing smiled slightly and greeted them, looking towards them with a hint of pity in her heart. Originally, she had another opportunity for the imperial examination, and in her past life, she was also from a small or humble family. She could still participate in the palace examination in the 16th year of the Pingjing reign, but now it seemed difficult to say.
Or perhaps the imperial court will still insist on holding the imperial examination, but along the way, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the war is chaotic. How many people are still brave enough to take the exam? It is too difficult for small clans and poor families to pass the imperial examination. Even if they are willing, their families dare not take this risk... or I am the last one
At the end of the night, firecrackers were blaring and lights were like dragons. The whole city did not need to rest. Such a lively Zhongyuan Festival gave people an illusion that it was time to return to the earth.
There are too many and crowded people on the street, and they walk very slowly. When they return to the branch of the state city, it is already midnight, which is nine o'clock on Earth.
This branch is located in a good area, and the steward in charge of its maintenance is a member of the clan. At this moment, he came up and said, "Master, we have tidied up and entered the best courtyard for rest
Mmm
The steward smiled again and said, "It's relatively plain, the decoration is just ordinary, and the master will only stay for one night
Okay
Ye Qing doesn't care, there aren't many rules when going out, even if there are, he's not in the mood now.
In autumn, it's night again. A tent is hung in the room, a brocade blanket is laid on the ground to keep warm, and a brazier is lit in the corner. High quality animal charcoal not only has no smoke smell, but also a faint aroma, revealing the prosperity of the prosperous era.
After a simple wash, there was a rustling sound of undressing outside the tent. The girl was somewhat shy and half concealed, with a faint glow of candlelight reflecting her youthful and alluring figure on the screen. Another round of drums and gongs passed outside the courtyard.
Ye Qing closed her eyes with a slight smile.
Young master? "She peeked into the tent as if she was asleep, then breathed a sigh of relief and crawled into bed with her bellyband.
Practicing martial arts to a deep level made it easier for her to control her body. She had no worries and usually fell asleep as soon as she lay down, but this time she couldn't sleep for some reason.
Take a careful look at the person next to you, your heart pounding as you turn back. Your gaze wanders for a moment, lost in thought as you gaze at the dusty patterns on the roof of the bed. The hustle and bustle of the streets outside is endless, with waves of lively red light passing through the high walls, courtyards, and paper windows, casting a colorful glow of joy onto the veil.
The girl lay in the tent quietly watching, listening, the memories of several years ago came back, and I haven't seen such a bustle for a long time... I remember when I was small, let my brother hold hands, and sold Paper Cuttings at the night market
Ye Qing, however, closed his eyes and remained focused. He turned to the page of the White Jade Book City in Chuanlin's notes, and the purple certificate appeared, with the brilliance of information flowing slowly.
The Book of Documents: Wang Gong: The king conferred the Five Colored Soil as his society.
When feudal lords were established, they would cut off a piece of land and give it to establish a society
In ancient times, when feudal lords were enfeoffed, they were granted land and power by wrapping them in soil with white thatch.
This is sealing soil.
Yingzhou did not establish feudal lords. When establishing the prefectural government office, the emperor symbolically bestowed a piece of soil and welcomed it to the center of the prefectural city, where a temple was built for worship.
This soil is not a spiritual object, it is just an ordinary soil block, but it symbolizes Yingzhou and actually has great significance. However, during peacetime, it is not very important to pay attention to it - it is just ordinary soil, just a symbol for worship, and has no practical use in daily life.
But later decryption revealed that this is actually a key node under the Heavenly Court system.
The temple is dedicated to the worship of the people of Yingzhou, and is associated with the people of the entire state. It is a node of each state, forming a network in the underworld. When they gather in the imperial capital, there is a piece of "Xitu" in the temple, which is actually soil. However, this is the earliest sealed soil in existence. It is said to have a history of nearly a million years and was personally worshipped and refined by the Qing Emperor. It will be passed down from dynasty to dynasty.
This may just be a deified promotion of the imperial lineage, but Ye Qing knew that this fiefdom had undergone special changes during the Great Tribulation and was the most crucial item at its core.
In a previous life, it was rumored that some states and small fiefdoms had demons from other regions who seized this item. When a solar eclipse occurred, they used the secret technique of qi luck to steal the sky and change the sun, causing irreversible changes.
Some have fallen into the abyss, while others have transformed into outer realms. As the effects gradually become apparent over the next decade, it is evident that the benefits are immense.
Qi luck, sealing soil, or corresponding permissions for secret methods
Ye Qing decided to follow the path of practicing the Five Virtues together and constantly deduced this matter in his Chuanlin notes. He came up with an idea that, based on the information in the Purple Book, it was feasible.
With this level of certainty, Ye Qing prepared for this matter six months ago by writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and pushing the Black Emperor's Sky to the fourth level.
If it weren't for the early arrival of the meteorite, we would have been able to proceed safely in half a year, but now there is no time to wait... At most, there will be a solar eclipse in a few days, or tomorrow? The variables are getting bigger and bigger now, and we can't trust the time limit of our past lives
The book was a great success in the Yingzhou area, but the blockade has not been broken for a long time. It is very difficult to plot the "blockade" of Yingzhou... The key is to be silent and not arouse suspicion, otherwise if we fail, it will startle the snake.
Ye Qing knew that with the governor's ability and means, no one could have a second chance.
Any insider or bribe taking takes time, or the overall situation is in hand. The previous hidden clues have only been half done and cannot be taken seriously.
How many plans have been disrupted by a meteor shower
Ye Qing sighed. If it were someone else, they knew it was unreliable and could only launch it hastily. But with Ye Qing's teachings and foundation in hand, how could he leave this matter of life and death to luck?
I can't say for sure, I'll have to do it myself. "I gradually made up my mind and my eyes became sharp." It's not too late
Lingling? "He called softly.
The girl turned around without any defense and met her eyes that were shining with strange light. Her gaze froze and she struggled a bit. Ye Qing said again, "It's okay, you go to sleep
Out of trust in the young master, her breath slightly increased and then calmed down, gradually becoming gentle.
In a moment, a shadow could leave the door.
