Chief Steward Qiu took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, in every dynasty, the forces of the underworld should not be underestimated.
If used properly, it can be loyal to the emperor and help the emperor do many things.
Especially when it comes to things that have to be done but cannot be done openly, it is most appropriate to send them.
Princess Ying is also very smart, and she might be able to make her gang bigger and stronger in the future and help the emperor share his worries."
The emperor was moved and nodded in agreement.
Fearing that the Emperor would go back on his word, Concubine Jia asked Chief Steward Qiu to contact her elder brother Qiu Jiang that day and ask him to enter the palace the next day and take Princess Ying away with him.
After receiving the letter from General Manager Qiu, General Manager Qiu's elder brother Qiu Jiang had already arrived in the capital and stayed in an inn.
He also knew the purpose of having him come to the capital. If the princess could really join his sect, it would be a good thing for the sect.
Their family used to be very poor, otherwise Qiu He would not have been sold and became a eunuch. Fortunately, he was smart enough and became the chief eunuch twenty years after entering the palace.
His elder brother Qiu Jiang became a disciple of Lanling Sect and became the head of the sect after his master passed away.
These two brothers are both considered to be great figures.
Qiu Jiang was a man from outside the palace and was not allowed to enter the palace, but with the emperor's permission, he came in to see Qiu He.
Qiu He told the emperor that Concubine Jia wanted Princess Ying to marry into the Lanling Sect, and the emperor agreed. Even if Qiu Jiang wanted to refuse, it was impossible for me.
Besides, Qiu Jiang didn't want to refuse at all.
He brought Princess Ying back to the mountain. At that time, he already had nine disciples, seven boys and two girls.
The senior brothers and sisters, knowing that Mo Xinying was a princess, added the word "Lanling" of their sect in front of her name, and everyone liked to call her Princess Lanling.
Mo Xinying also liked everyone calling her that, and over time, no one mentioned her real name anymore.
Princess Lanling was seven years old when she went up the mountain. Her two senior sisters, one named Chen, was two years older than her and was nine years old at the time.
One of them was named Guo, three years older than her and was ten years old at the time.
Princess Lanling got along well with her senior brothers and sisters at first, but ten years later, when she saw that Senior Sister Chen and Senior Sister Guo were becoming more and more beautiful, jealousy began to burn her heart.
She only allowed the seven senior brothers to be nice to her and not to be nice to the two senior sisters.
She decided to get rid of her two senior sisters.
One morning when she was practicing swordplay, she made a "mistake" and stabbed Senior Sister Chen in the chest with her sword.
In order to ensure that she stabbed Senior Sister Chen to death, she stabbed it hard, and then suddenly pulled out the sword.
Her action was seen by senior brother Shen Xiao who happened to come up to practice sword.
Princess Lanling burst into tears and ran to find her master Qiu Jiang, saying that she had lost her grip while practicing sword skills and had injured Senior Sister Chen.
When Qiu Jiang and his disciples came up, Shen Xiao was trying his best to treat him, shouting loudly:
"Junior sister, junior sister, I am the senior brother."
But the person in his arms closed his eyes forever and could never respond to him again.
Shen Xiao always liked Junior Sister Chen. When he saw his master coming, he knelt in front of his master and said that Junior Sister Chen was deliberately killed by Princess Lanling.
Because they have been practicing sword skills together for many years, they have become very accurate and it is not the time to use wooden swords for the first time.
Lanling burst into tears and said that she did not intend to kill Senior Sister Chen, and she felt very guilty about what happened.
She was willing to pay for Sister Chen's life.
After she joined the Lanling Sect, the emperor allocated a large sum of money to them every year.
Qiu Jiang was not a very upright person to begin with, so he would not harm Princess Lanling's life for the sake of a dead disciple.
But the eldest disciple Shen Xiao insisted that he saw with his own eyes Princess Lanling deliberately stabbing Junior Sister Chen to death.
Qiu Jiang was furious at the time. He scolded Shen Xiao and then expelled him from the sect.
The junior brother and another junior sister in the sect were afraid of the master and did not dare to offend Princess Lanling. No one stood up to speak for Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao was driven down the mountain.
That night, Princess Lanling, along with seven brothers and one sister, went down the mountain to kill Shen Xiao.
Fortunately, Shen Xiao was a skilled martial artist and a smart man. He had anticipated that they would come to kill him, so he escaped.
After recounting his experience, Shen Xiao sighed, “After I escaped, I found this valley and lived in seclusion here for many years.
Later, he accepted two more apprentices. "
When Lin Tiancheng heard Shen Xiao say that he had accepted two apprentices, he suddenly remembered his two apprentices and asked, "Brother Shen, where are those two guys?"
Shen Xiao said: "They are in the fields, picking some fruits and vegetables."
Qin Nian looked at Shen Xiao and asked:
“Senior Shen, Princess Lanling came here and is still living in the town. Could it be that she knows that you are living in seclusion here and is looking for you again?
After all these years, she's still holding it against you? It was clearly her fault back then."
Shen Xiao's eyes were filled with surprise: "How do you know she lives in town? Did you run into her again?"
“Yes.”
Su Bi told Shen Xiao about meeting Princess Lanling, fighting with her, and pushing her off the cliff.
"She fell off a cliff a few days ago? Let's go and take a look."
After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he got up and left the house, taking Lin Tiancheng and the other two with him to search carefully along the cliff.
After searching for more than ten miles, they saw A Tao's body, which was rotten beyond recognition, or rather his body remains, but they did not see Lan Ling.
The dead are the most important. Shen Xiao and Su Bi moved some stones and buried A Tao's body.
“After Princess Lanling entered the sect, she was deeply loved by the headmaster, who probably taught her all the martial arts of his master.
With such strong internal strength, he should have grabbed the vines and escaped."
Su Bi snorted coldly: “Even if a person who has done many evil things escapes to the horizon, she cannot escape her own inner demons.
Although it is unclear why she came here, if she fails to achieve her goal, she will definitely come back.”
When they returned to the thatched cottage again, Shen Xiao's two disciples also came back. They were very happy to see Su Bi and Qin Nian.
A few young people gathered together and had endless things to talk about.
Shen Xiao used the west wing as a kitchen. There was a large water tank in the kitchen, which was made by Shen Xiao himself using red clay.
Their daily drinking water is extracted from the Subi River.
In order to repay Shen Xiao for saving Lin Tiancheng's life, Qin Nian poured a lot of spiritual spring water into the water tank.
Dinner was prepared by a few young people. It was millet rice stewed in an iron pot, and the dishes were stewed potatoes with eggplant and stewed bacon with beans.
They cleared a piece of land on the mountain and grew millet and vegetables, as well as corn, sorghum and wheat.
Food is not a problem. If you hunt prey and can’t eat it, you can make it into bacon and keep it for later consumption.
Shen Xiao took a bite of rice and his brows twitched.
After taking another bite of rice and a mouthful of stewed potatoes and eggplant, the doubt in his eyes deepened.
He looked at Lin Tiancheng beside him: "Brother Lin, do you think today's food is particularly delicious?"
Lin Tiancheng nodded: "Of course I do.
This is nothing to be surprised about. From now on, your two apprentices will cook. They are clumsy and the food they make will certainly taste bad.
Today’s dish was made by Xiao Nian Nian. She used to run a stew restaurant, so naturally she is an excellent cook.
Brother Shen, eat more, otherwise after we leave, your two apprentices won’t be able to cook such delicious meals. "
