Soaring the Heavens

Text Chapter 2081 Tong Lianxi

Xiahou Chengyu took his seat and said a few words on behalf of the Heavenly Power. Then the fairies shuttled between the inner and outer seats, and the nectar and delicious food were served.

The Queen of Heaven drank from afar, and everyone drank together, which was considered the official start of the banquet.

During the banquet, Xiahou Chengyu barely looked at Yun Zhiqiu after the first two polite words to him. He only talked and laughed with Mei Niang beside him, which seemed to be ignoring Yun Zhiqiu.

And none of the Heavenly Emperor's concubines who could get close to him on both sides talked to Yun Zhiqiu. Most of them had no relationship with Yun Zhiqiu. Those who could have some relationship with the Southern Army had no trustworthy connection with Miao Yi at present. Those concubines who surrendered to the emperor and paid tribute to the palace were also excluded because of their lost backgrounds. They could not sit close to this side. Yun Zhiqiu was obviously treated coldly under the watchful eyes of the crowd, but Yun Zhiqiu raised his cup calmly, as if he didn't care.

Xue Linglong, who was sitting below, saw all this and was anxious. She was thinking about turning back to remind Xu Tangran that the prince had entrusted Xu Tangran with the task of presenting the concubine to the palace. Today's incident obviously made the princess lose face.

Soon, the choreographed song and dance came on stage, attracting attention.

In the main hall of the palace, all the ministers were present, and there was also singing and dancing. The monarch and his ministers were having fun together. Xu Tangran was in high spirits and found a high-class feeling.

In the garden, there were beauties like clouds, the scenery was endless, and the new nobles were blooming.

After the delicious food, the bells and drums echoed, and the banquet ended. The courtiers, led by Qingzhu, and the beauties, led by Xiahou Chengyu, left the palace and began to visit the imperial garden. Men and women had different routes.

Xiahou Chengyu brought all the women into the Sanqianli Fairy Peach Garden, which was not open to the public at ordinary times, so that everyone could watch it at will. The fairy mist in the garden was curling, and the fragrance of fruit was refreshing.

Yun Zhiqiu searched around quietly, locked on Tong Lianci, and prepared to find an opportunity to approach.

Unexpectedly, Tengfei's favorite concubine Zhu Youmei approached calmly, as if they had met by chance, and bowed, "My Lady Princess."

Yun Zhiqiu smiled and nodded. If Su Yun hadn't reminded her, she would have really treated it as a chance encounter, knowing that something was going to happen.

Before she could say anything, Zhu Youmei had already approached her and apologized, "I was not disciplined well before and offended the Princess. Please don't be offended, My Lady Princess."

Yun Zhiqiu was surprised and said, "Youmei, why do you say that? When did you offend me?"

Zhu Youmei smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's all my fault. I found a few servants to take care of the other courtyard in advance, but I didn't expect two ignorant servants to break into the other courtyard of the palace without permission and disturbed the Lady Princess."

Yun Zhiqiu was surprised, "There is also this matter, how come I don't know it?"

Zhu Youmei pushed away the branches in front of her, "It seems that the Lady is really generous and didn't take it to heart. In fact, I didn't know it before, but later I found out that someone down there went to I asked the servants who disturbed the palace and found out that the servants were named Cao Wanxiang and Tian Zhijun. Cao Wanxiang was the ex-husband of General Murong, the favorite general of the queen. In order to get the throne, he divorced his wife and abandoned General Murong to marry Tian Zhijun. Ying Jiuguang's conspiracy failed. The couple surrendered to my prince. I took them in with good intentions, but they dared to disturb General Murong. It was my fault for not disciplining them. The queen must not take it to heart. "

Yun Zhiqiu: "Oh! Youmei was talking about them. I thought it was a big deal. Such people are not worth mentioning. It's better not to talk about it." She didn't want to discuss this. If it was really as Su Yun said, Murong Xinghua didn't express his attitude, and she didn't need to care about the two little people and kill them.

"The queen is really generous." Zhu Youmei smiled and praised. Since Yun Zhiqiu said not to mention it, she would not mention it again. However, since she had already started a conversation, she would not give up easily. She took the initiative to find a conversation: "I heard that Niu Tianwang Mansion is beautiful. I have never been there. Today, I saw the queen and couldn't help thinking about it. I have to ask for a favor from the queen. I wonder if I can go to see it when I have time?"

Yun Zhiqiu: "It is the old house of the Haowang Mansion. There has been no change. If Youmei is interested, she is a distinguished guest who cannot be invited. Naturally, we welcome her."

Zhu Youmei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since the queen said so, let's ask for good luck. It's better to rush the day than to rush the day. After the garden celebration is over, I will take advantage of the queen's light and go with Dao. How about it?"

Yun Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

What came to mind was that when I met this woman that year, this woman looked up to the top and was neither cold nor indifferent. Now, every word she said was flattering. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It's really the fickleness of the world.

However, it was a good thing to have nice things to hear along the way. However, Zhu Youmei didn't seem to want too many people to see her and Yun Zhiqiu walking too close, so she found a reason to leave on the way.

This fairy peach garden is vast, with ancient peach trees blocking the way and fairy mist curling. It is not suitable to find people, but it is also a good place to talk about things away from people's eyes.

There is still a lot of time before the meeting outside the peach garden, so Yun Zhiqiu secretly instructed Feihong and Xue Linglong to search for Tong Lianxi in several ways.

After a while, Xue Linglong sent a message that she had found her.

When Yun Zhiqiu arrived, he saw Tong Lianxi sitting in a pavilion, chatting and laughing with a woman. Yun Zhiqiu instructed Xue Linglong to go over and meet her, and asked her to find a reason to send the other woman away, and at the same time asked people to watch around, and then walked out of the peach forest and walked straight into the pavilion.

Seeing Yun Zhiqiu approaching, Tong Lianxi quickly stood up and saluted, "Princess."

"It turned out to be Lianxi!" Yun Zhiqiu seemed surprised, and quickly extended his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and at the same time invited him to sit down, "I was bored when I saw the pavilion, so I came to sit down. I didn't expect to run into Lianxi, it's really fate."

Tong Lianxi smiled reservedly and sat beside him. He was gentle and dignified. He didn't look like someone with a cheerful personality who didn't talk much and would only reply to Yun Zhiqiu's questions.

Yun Zhiqiu tried her words and made a few observations, and she basically believed the demon monk's words. She had met Jiang Yiyi. She compared the Jiang Yiyi in her impression and found that the child's pity and Jiang Yiyi were the same between her eyebrows. Sure enough, there are some similarities. With Jiang Yiyi's handsome appearance, his sister's beauty is naturally not much different. No wonder she became Luo Mang's favorite concubine.

As his thoughts circulated, Yun Zhiqiu suddenly sighed, "When I saw Lianxi, I wonder if it was my misunderstanding. I always felt that Lianxi was like an old friend of mine. He looked a bit like me. My old friend's surname was Jiang, from Jianghu. I wonder if you recognize Lianxi?" When he said this, he paid close attention to the subtle changes in the other person's expression.

The fingers on Tong Lianxi's sleeves shrank obviously, and her eyes flickered violently, but there was no big reaction on her expression. She was very calm. She raised her head and looked around, and asked, "Is the princess alone?" She finally realized. That's wrong. With Yun Zhiqiu's current status, how could a newly wealthy man like the moon be just one person wandering around? It was obviously not what the other party called a chance encounter, but a deliberate chance encounter.

Yun Zhiqiu had already noticed something, and said with a smile: "A person is pure, and Lianxi seems to be a person who likes purity. It just so happens that our sisters are chatting in peace, and no one will disturb them. What do you think?"

Tong Lianxi stood up slowly, bowed and gave her a gift, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I might disturb your Majesty's elegance, but I still have to accompany Princess Guang, so I won't disturb your Majesty's purity." After saying that, she left with an elegant figure. .

Yun Zhiqiu stroked his sleeves and said slowly: "My old friend surnamed Jiang has been looking for his sister but couldn't find it. Then he found me and asked me to help find him. In order to help me, I spent a lot of money. It’s so hard to find some clues.”

Tong Lianxi's body was already frozen at the exit of the pavilion, unable to move an inch, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Yun Zhiqiu glanced sideways and continued casually: "It seems that my clues are wrong, and I'm afraid I will disappoint my old friend again."

When Tong Lianxi turned around again, her expression had returned to calm. She stared at Yun Zhiqiu and said, "I don't understand what the princess means. Does the princess want me to help find someone?"

Yun Zhiqiu secretly thought, as expected of someone who has been trained by the Heroes Association, he is very guarded and won't let go easily. He really won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. He stretched out his hand and said, "If you are willing to help me with this, you might as well sit down and talk slowly."

Tong Lianxi slowly walked back to her original position and sat down.

Yun Zhiqiu secretly sighed. It was a pity that Jiang Yiyi was cautious back then and didn't keep any letters from his sister. Otherwise, he could just check the seal directly and there would be no need for such trouble. Ask: "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"

Tong Lianxi said: "I am all ears."

Yun Zhiqiu thought for a while and sighed: "My friend's surname is Jiang. He has a sister. The brother and sister depend on each other. He said that his sister liked to eat candied haws the most when she was a child, but he always had no money to buy it. One day Qunying would suddenly appear. , took them away. The brother and sister separated after they stepped into the threshold of practice in the group of heroes. They have never seen each other since. He does not know what his sister will look like when she grows up, what she is doing, and where she is. The only way to confirm The way the other party survived was to receive letters with the seal from the other party every once in a while. Because his sister was in the hands of the Heroes Association, he was forced to do something. He changed his name to Jiang Yiyi and became the world. He is a thief who everyone wants to punish, and he helps some people do some shady things. He is also extremely worried about his sister being forced to do so, so he asked me to rescue his sister."

Tong Lianxi burst into tears when she heard the previous words, and she burst into tears silently. Apart from her brother, not even the Heroes Club knew about her fondness for eating candied haws when she was a child. When Yun Zhiqiu mentioned this, she had basically confirmed it. It turned out that the other party was indeed entrusted by his brother.

But when she heard the name 'Jiang Yiyi', she couldn't help but tremble. It was true that this thief was so famous back then that he had to guard against her even when she went out. More importantly, she already knew that the thief died tragically. His fate seemed to be that Niu Youde died in the hands of Niu Youde when he was the head of the ghost market. He suddenly raised his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "You killed him?"

Yun Zhiqiu stared at her and said: "We didn't kill him. What you heard were just rumors. Someone is covering up the truth. They don't want people to know that Jiang Yiyi and Qunying will be related, and the truth is often inconsistent with the rumors. If not, I would How do you know this story, and how can you be entrusted by him to help him find his sister for so many years? Is there anyone who entrusts an enemy to do this? "

Tong Lianxi choked and shook her head: "Who killed him?"

Yun Zhiqiu said indifferently: "Want to know the truth? But who am I to tell you? I'm just asking you for help. You don't seem to need to know too much." (To be continued.)
