After lying down in the bathtub with the lingering fragrance, I washed myself and put on a dry robe. I felt that my whole body felt comfortable and lighter.

Zuo Lingquan finished cleaning up the bathing room and turned to the dining room. His two daughters had already finished eating.

Jiang Yi was in the room, looking left and right in front of the mirror. When she heard the sound of opening the door, she flashed to a blind corner of her field of vision without turning her head. Tang Jingxun's house was burned down and she had to sleep here tonight. At this time, she was in the house.

After making the bed and seeing him come out, I looked over and seemed to have something to say.

Zuo Lingquan entered the Linggu half-step, and could go without eating or drinking for a long time. He also did not have a meal, and went directly to Tang Jingxun's room.

The room is a guest room in the house, not too big, but fully furnished and elegantly decorated.

Tang Jingxuan wiped the dusty tables and chairs. Jiang Yi was not here, and the depression in her heart was also revealed on her face; she frowned, as if she had lost her money. Although she did not sigh, she was more energetic and optimistic than before.

He looks too depressed.

Zuo Lingquan saw this scene and comforted him softly: "The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. Sister Tang, don't worry too much about the shop. I'll find a few people to renovate it tomorrow, and it can reopen in a few days."

.”

Tang Jingxun wiped the chair clean and motioned for Zuo Lingquan to sit down. He sat on the other side and sighed softly:

"How can you think so quickly? The shop that has been in it for more than ten years was burned down in a fire. The tables and chairs were okay, and there were several jars of old vintage wine inside. It will definitely be useless after this fire.

No. How can a wine shop open if there is no wine? It’s not the same as doing it elsewhere..."

Ramble.

Tang Jingxun lives a careful life by himself, and Zuo Lingquan naturally understands that he cares about these things. He sat down next to him and listened quietly, while he kneaded the little bird dumplings huddled on the table.

After Tang Jingxuan chattered for a while, he slowly stopped talking and his eyes were a little evasive. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Zuo Lingquan raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Sister Tang, just say what you want to say, but what is missing?"

Tang Jingxun shook his head and tightened his clothes slightly:

"There was a big fire just now. I seemed to be scared. Well... what was I doing when you came in?"

Zuo Lingquan looked calm and explained:

"It was raining heavily, and I ran in. It was too dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. I heard Sister Tang crying in the corner, so I took off my robe and put it on Sister Tang. Sister Tang seemed to be wrapped in a quilt at the time, but I don't know the details.

See clearly.”

When Tang Jingxun came back to take a shower, she realized that she was wearing pajamas and pajamas underneath. Although she didn't show much flesh, she would definitely be able to see everything if she got caught in the rain.

Zuo Lingquan looked normal. Tang Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Thank you today. I don't know how to thank you and Her Royal Highness for your help."

"As friends, there is no need to say these kind words."

Zuo Lingquan looked at the sky and realized that it was probably past midnight, so he stood up and said:

"It's too late, Sister Tang, go to bed early. I'll stay at the house tonight. If you need anything, just call me."

The house is very big, and there are no maids or servants in it. It must be a bit scary to live alone at night. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan stayed to keep vigil for her, Tang Jingxuan naturally felt relieved and stood up to say goodbye...

In a room not far apart.

Under the dim candlelight, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the tea couch, closing her eyes and concentrating as if she was practicing, but her ears were carefully paying attention to the movement in the distance.

It's a pity that Jiang Yi's current cultivation level is not high, and there is a certain distance between them, so the voice of his voice fades in and out, and he can't hear the details clearly.

What are we talking about this late at night...

A man and a woman are alone in the same room, and they don't even know how loud they speak. Is it because they are afraid that I will hear...

Jiang Yi was thinking wildly in her mind, and gradually heard the sound of footsteps approaching from far away. She quickly sat upright for a few minutes, pretending to be practicing seriously.

Soon, footsteps entered the house; then, the sound of the door closing sounded...

Squeak——

??

Jiang Yi hurriedly opened her eyes, looked at the handsome man in white who was closing the door, and said in a deep voice:

"What are you doing with the door closed?"

Zuo Lingquan made a move, which was a little funny:

"We talk behind closed doors, what else can we do?"

He didn't stop. After closing the door, he came to sit on the other side of the tea couch, picked up the teapot and poured two glasses of water.

Jiang Yi didn't know why, her heartbeat was a little faster, and she was a little panicked. She changed from sitting cross-legged to sitting sideways, and moved further away, showing a little caution:

"what do you want to say?"

Zuo Lingquan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing Jiang Yi's appearance, he was a little funny:

"If the princess doesn't go back to the palace, she's waiting for me in the house at night. If she doesn't have something to say to me, could she be doing something else?"

"..."

Jiang Yi blinked her eyes, and it seemed that this was really the case - she did have something to say to Zuo Lingquan, so she waited here, but she had just eavesdropped for a long time and forgot about it.

Jiang Yi coughed lightly, put on the calm air that an eldest princess should have, leaned on the tea couch, and thought about her words:

"I have heard about Cheng Jiujiang's incident today; you helped Qihuanggu stand out at the meeting today. Do you know how Qihuanggu responded to this matter?"

Zuo Lingquan was not stupid. When he heard this, he naturally understood the meaning - Cheng Jiujiang provoked Qihuang Valley in public today, and the Imperial Master did not show up, so he had to rely on him to settle matters. Afterwards, Cheng Jiujiang was still able to walk away; although it failed to prove that the Imperial The teacher is ill, but it can also explain many problems.

Jiang Yi had long guessed that the Imperial Master was ill, and I'm afraid it was confirmed in her mind at this time. Asking Qihuanggu how to deal with it, instead of asking him to confirm whether the Imperial Master was true or false, she was probably worried that she would fall into trouble after getting a definite answer from him. A dilemma; deep down in my heart, I still hope that Qihuang Valley can live up to expectations and resolve this current predicament on its own.

But Qihuang Valley has no way to deal with it. Judging from the current situation, it is no different from waiting to die.

Zuo Lingquan's heart was towards Qihuang Valley where Wu Qingwan was, and he didn't want Jiang Yi to fall into a dilemma. He hesitated and responded:

"Whoever becomes the national advisor is the same to the princess and the court. They can just deal with these matters by themselves. There is no need to worry about it."

In the final analysis, the position of national preceptor is just a thug hired by the imperial court. The imperial court is the employer and should take a neutral position. Whether it is Yue Pingyang, Cheng Jiujiang, or even foreign monks, the imperial court should treat them equally and give them money. It’s the same, whoever is more powerful should use whom.

The meaning of Zuo Lingquan's words was to tell Jiang Yi to leave it alone and let Qihuang Valley and Fuqishan fight on their own. Who loses and wins depends on their own abilities.

Jiang Yi understands this truth. She feels that without the imperial master, Qihuang Valley has no chance of winning, so she is so worried. However, there is no point in her worrying. As a princess, she can't help at all.

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment and finally shook her head:

"You have to practice hard. As long as you become a true immortal, I will not worry about these mundane things."

When it came to cultivation, Zuo Lingquan thought of Wu Qingwan's "Green Lotus Sutra" again. He and Jiang Yi could legitimately practice both, but it just had no effect on themselves, so they could only help Jiang Yi improve her cultivation.

Zuo Lingquan originally wanted to mention it, but after thinking about Wu Qingwan's advice, he finally gave up the idea temporarily and nodded:

"Know it."

Jiang Yi had nothing to say. She felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. After looking at the window, she moved to the soft edge to put on her shoes and said goodbye:

"I'm going back first. If you stay here tonight, you have to pay attention to your sense of propriety... inch..."

Jiang Yi was leaning forward to speak when she suddenly saw a pair of boots and the hem of her robe appearing in front of her eyes.

She trembled in shock, stood up quickly, leaned back, and said nervously:

"what you do?"

The lights in the room were dim, and the soft beauty in red shrank back slightly nervously, her lips pursed and her eyes panicked. I'm afraid no man would be tempted to see her.

Zuo Lingquan stood in front of him, leaned down slightly, put his hands on the armrests and the small case, blocking Jiang Yi's path, and said with a smile:

"We just left after chatting for a few words. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Dongdong——dongdong——

The heart beats like a drum.

Jiang Yi couldn't hide the panic in her eyes, she shrank back a little, tried to look majestic, and said in a deep voice:

"You are so presumptuous! Get out of my way!"

Zuo Lingquan curled his lips and glanced from top to bottom:

"You can get out of the way, subject to conditions. Princess, you know how to do it, right?"

?!

Jiang Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously embarrassed, but a little afraid to get angry. She tentatively pushed Zuo Lingquan's chest with her hand:

"Zuo Lingquan! Get out of my way, I...I'm angry."

Zuo Lingquan looked down at the frightened Jiang Yi and raised his eyebrows:

"How about I do it myself?"

Jiang Yi's chest rose and fell a few times. She couldn't defeat Zuo Lingquan, so there was nothing she could do against Zuo Lingquan. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Why are you so untrustworthy? We agreed to do it just this once..."

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were calm:
To be continued...
