Chapter 1684: Subverted her cognition
As expected, Yu Zhilan and Xuanyuan Jin were discussing something.
The others have already dispersed.
"Why don't you take a rest?" Xuanyuan Jin asked Tang Bao.
Tang Bao shook her head.
Now that her senior brother's affairs are involved, how can she have the mind to rest?
"Master, what news have you heard these days?" Tang Bao asked Yu Zhilan directly.
She believed that someone as smart as her master would definitely not do nothing when he arrived at the border of southern Xinjiang.
After hearing Tang Bao's words, Yu Zhilan said, "The Southern Border's divine sacrifice day is approaching. When that day comes, the high priests and saints of Southern Border will all travel to the capital of Southern Border to participate in the divine sacrifice."
Yu Zhilan paused, then pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's said that the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang and the Saintess were childhood sweethearts and were engaged. However, they later turned against each other, and as a result, Southern Xinjiang was subtly split into Eastern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang, forming two opposing factions."
"The Saintess reigns supreme in the Eastern Frontier, the High Priest reigns supreme in the Western Frontier, and the King of the Southern Frontier is merely a lucky charm, possessing no real power..."
Yu Zhilan learned the word "mascot" from Tang Bao.
Tang Bao listened carefully to Yu Zhilan's explanation.
She already knew many of these things.
However, when Yu Zhilan said that the Saint of Southern Xinjiang had a daughter, she was still a little surprised.
Although she knew that the high priest and the saint of Southern Xinjiang could get married, she did not know that the saint of Southern Xinjiang had given birth to a child.
"Whose child is this? The high priest's?" Tang Bao asked in surprise.
Yu Zhilan nodded.
Tang Bao: “…”
Sister Pomegranate has another sister!
Tang Bao subconsciously thought of Princess Mingli, now Queen Mingli.
By the way, Sister Pomegranate’s sisters all have high status.
Thinking of this, Tang Bao couldn't help but wonder if Sister Pomegranate would be stimulated and also want to compete for the position of high priest?
If that is the case, this trip to southern Xinjiang would be even more unusual.
Tang Bao thought again, Sister Pomegranate is straightforward, has no ambition, and no desire to compare, so she probably won't care about these things.
However, Tang Bao thought of the necklace on Shi Liu's neck again.
That necklace is a token of the successive high priests of southern Xinjiang.
Now that the necklace is on Sister Pomegranate, does it mean something?
All these thoughts flashed through Tang Bao's mind in an instant.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will be the next Saint." Yu Zhilan continued, "It is said that the Saint of Southern Xinjiang has decided to pass the title of Saint to her daughter on the day of the divine sacrifice."
Tang Bao sighed inwardly: Many customs in southern Xinjiang have overturned her cognition.
She originally thought that a saint served the gods and was a messenger of God. She had to be pure and innocent, and could not be involved in love, let alone get married.
Not only can they get married, but they can also have children.
Not only that, the position of saint can be hereditary.
Of course, the same is true for the high priest. The position can be passed down from generation to generation, and there is no restriction on gender.
Tang Bao had to admit that her inherent thinking limited her imagination.
"Shi Liu's identity shouldn't be revealed. We'll act accordingly after arriving in Southern Xinjiang," Xuanyuan Jin pondered. "To disregard the agreement between Southern Xinjiang and Western Qin, secretly supplying Xiaoyao Powder to Western Qin in an attempt to overthrow the government, this person must be of extraordinary status and have considerable influence within Western Qin..."
"Brother is right. Let's follow our previous agreement and pretend to be merchants buying medicinal herbs." Tang Bao said, "Master, you are the head shopkeeper, brother, you are the eldest young master, and I am the willful young lady, your sister, secretly following you out for fun."
As for the others, they were maids, guards and servants.
Anyway, Princess Linghua and others have already gotten used to these characters.
Tang Bao was not worried at all that they would be exposed.
In short, as long as Yu Zhilan doesn't act out of character, there will be no problem for anyone else.
"Cousin." Xuanyuan Jin suddenly said.
Tang Bao: “…”
Startled.
I don't understand.
"You are my cousin." Xuanyuan Jin said.
Tang Bao: “…Oh.”
What is the difference?
Tang Bao was a little confused.
Aren’t they all sisters?
However, no one objected to Xuanyuan Jin's words.
Yu Zhilan glanced at Xuanyuan Jin lightly and said nothing.
A few people agreed to set off early tomorrow morning, and later told everyone except Palace Master Yunfeng.
Palace Master Yunfeng never expected that she would be abandoned when she woke up.
"Old man, is this you who did this?!"
Palace Master Yunfeng looked at Divine Doctor Hua with anger on her face.
He stretched out his hand and twisted Doctor Hua's ear.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Doctor Hua cried out in pain, "Ouch," and cried out that it was unfair.
"Ahhh... Ah Feng, I just woke up too. How could I have known that those bastards would despise us two old people as a burden and sneak away..."
Doctor Hua screamed and tried to save his ear while putting the blame on Tang Bao and others.
Unfortunately, Palace Master Yunfeng didn't believe it at all.
"Stop talking nonsense! Those children are all filial and would never do such a thing as leaving without saying goodbye!" Palace Master Yunfeng said angrily.
As soon as Palace Master Yunfeng finished speaking, a guard came in from outside the door and reported, "Your Excellency, the princess left a letter for you."
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Yunfeng released Doctor Hua's ear and asked the guard to bring the letter in.
Doctor Hua's heart skipped a beat and he rubbed his ears, looking guilty.
My little disciple won’t betray me, right?
Palace Master Yunfeng opened the letter, and Divine Doctor Hua immediately leaned over.
Fortunately, Palace Master Yunfeng did not smack his head away.
Tang Bao's letter clearly stated that in order to prevent their entire army from being wiped out on this trip, Palace Master Yunfeng and Doctor Hua were to stay at the border so that they could provide timely reinforcements.
After reading the letter, Doctor Hua felt completely relieved.
This girl still has a conscience!
Doctor Hua's beard curled up proudly and his eyebrows twitched.
Then, an expression of grievance appeared on his face.
"Ah Feng, I'm really sad. It turns out that in your heart, I am such an unreliable person... Woo woo..."
Doctor Hua wiped away his non-existent tears and continued to cry.
"Wuwu... Fuya is not only my disciple, but also my descendant. I would rather die than let her take any risks. Ah Feng, how could you doubt me like that... Wuwu..."
Palace Master Yunfeng: "...Alright, alright, I was wrong about you."
Palace Master Yunfeng showed a trace of unnaturalness on her face. She hesitated for a moment and threw a handkerchief to Doctor Hua.
"You are so old, what's the point of crying? Wipe it off quickly!" Palace Master Yunfeng said in a bad mood, but her tone was much softer. To Doctor Hua's ears, it sounded like the sound of nature.
"Oh! Great!" Doctor Hua held the handkerchief and said happily, "Ah Feng's handkerchief smells the best."
After saying that, he put it to his nose and sniffed it.
Palace Master Yunfeng blushed.
The guard's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, then quickly took his leave.
