Flowing Cloud

Chapter 13

It's winter now, but no matter how cold the wind is, it won't be able to blow into the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.Wanhua Valley is located in a deep valley in the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains, and it is like spring all year round.The owner of the valley, Dongfang Yuxuan, whose real name is Fang Yuxuan, is a person from the East China Sea. He traveled to this valley and was blessed with unique advantages, so he established Wanhua Valley here.Later, it invited famous people from all over the world, and became famous, becoming one of the most elegant Tang Dynasty.

At this time, there are clusters of flowers on the bank of Luoxing Lake, and two people are talking with each other on a stone table.

"Dead game." Qi Jin threw the sunspots in his hands back into the chess basket, he was satisfied with a draw.He is not good at chess, if he hadn't played against Pei Yuan all these years, he might not have improved.

Pei Yuan just smiled and said nothing, his eyes scanned the chessboard, half of which was black and white, and the situation has become a stalemate, but it is not yet a deadlock.The corners of Pei Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and the situation reversed instantly when Baizi was placed on the plate and swallowed half of the sunspots.

Qi Jin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect the other party to have this ultimate move.

"I lost."

"Although I am better than you in chess, but in this game, it is Zi Xuzi who turns his hands into clouds and rains his hands."

Qi Jin knew that he was dissatisfied with his involvement in political affairs and being close to courtiers.The imperial court is like a puddle of muddy water, and even if it touches a little bit, he can't get rid of it alone. In his eyes, he may have already sunk into the quagmire, but there are some things that he can't say.

"You're still mad at me for getting too close to Eunuch Gao." Although Qi Jin asked the question, he said it plainly, and he was criticized for being close to the court.Chunyang is not like Tiance Mansion, they are people who practice Taoism and don't mess with vulgar things, but now he has committed a big taboo, let alone that person is an eunuch.

Since ancient times, there have been eunuchs who are scourges. Everyone in the world looked down on eunuchs, even Qi Jin didn't want to see them in his previous life.

It's just that this time he and Gao Lishi became friends. Although Qi Jin's motives were not pure at first, and the two were just taking advantage of each other, but after making friends, he had to say that Gao Lishi did have the capital to be the number one celebrity in front of a saint.He is not bad in the six arts of a gentleman. He is quick-witted and tactful but not lacking in decisiveness. If this kind of person has not entered the palace, I am afraid that he must have a place in the court.

Pei Yuan was noncommittal, his sister's family was assassinated because of the plots in the court, and he also lost the intention to enter the court.It doesn't matter that Qi Jin has a good relationship with the imperial court. For example, Tian Ce, Cang Yun, and Changge are all closely related to the imperial court. Even Wanhua Valley has many officials with official positions.

The bad thing is that the person Qi Jin made friends with was Gao Lishi, the favorite minister of the pilgrim, and Gao Lishi was an eunuch.Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, dare not damage them, let alone being an eunuch.Everyone in the world looks down on eunuchs, because that person is no longer yin or yang, and has lost the foundation of being a human being. Even those who rely on eunuchs to climb up are cast aside in their hearts.

Pei Yuan is just an ordinary person, plus he has read a lot of poetry and books, so he naturally looks down on him in his heart, but it's a pity that his friend and eunuch get too close for fear of ruining his reputation.

He knew that Qi Jin paid so much attention to the court's movements, and there were some small actions in private, but he had no selfish intentions, and it was nothing but for Chunyang.

Since Xie Yunliu's incident, the imperial court is not as respectful to Chunyang as before, and even small soldiers dare to shout in the palace.There were also signs of division within Chunyang, but fortunately, Lu Zhenren suppressed it in time.Later, Qi Jin was appreciated by the sage and made friends with Tiance, and Chunyang gradually regained his vitality through this.

"Uncle, uncle." A clear and clear child's voice came from a distance, it was a girl in a floral blouse, and she looked extremely cute when she was under three or four years old.

As soon as the little girl came, she tugged on Qi Jin's sleeve and watched eagerly. Qi Jin just smiled wryly, and usually prepared some snacks on him, but today he heard that this girl was traveling with Miss Yuqing and forgot about it. He came back so early.

"Zhi Lan, don't make trouble with your Uncle Qi."

This little girl is Gu Zhilan. Back then when Gu Yuntian's family was hunted down, Qi Jin rescued them, but it was a pity that Mrs. Gu worked so hard all the way and became pregnant again and finally couldn't hold it in Wanhua Valley. Gu Zhilan was Mrs. Gu desperately gave birth.After the death of his wife, Gu Yuntian was disheartened and settled down in Wanhua Valley.Pei Yuan was informed by Qi Jin that the matter was related to the court, and his family moved here to prevent any changes.

"Zhilan has grown a lot taller." Touching the girl's hair, Qi Jin recalled the scene when he and Gu Zhilan first met. At that time, she was already a young girl in the prime of her youth. The heart was tied and could no longer break free, but now it can never go back.

"Uncle." Gu Zhilan felt a little aggrieved that he didn't get anything from Qi Jin, so he yelled and threw himself into Pei Yuan's arms to act like a spoiled child, and stayed in Pei Yuan's arms for a long time.Pei Yuan saw that it was getting late, and then looked into the distance, and sure enough, Yu Qing was looking over here, presumably the two of them passed by here, and the little girl ran over when she saw it.

Over there Yu Qing looks here from time to time, if other people must think that Gu Zhilan is looking at Gu Zhilan, he knows what Yu Qing is thinking, but the Goddess has Meng Xiang Wang Wuxin.

Pei Yuan patted Gu Zhilan on the head and said, "Go and play with your sister Qingyu."

"En." Gu Zhilan responded and obediently ran to Qingyu not far away.

Not long after Gu Zhilan left, a goshawk hovering in the air suddenly landed on Qi Jin's shoulder.This eagle was domesticated by Wanhuagu full-time to deliver letters, and because of Gu Zhilan's presence, it was allowed to hover in the air.Taking off the secret letter and unfolding it, Qi Jin smiled. Pei Yuan followed Qi Jin's gaze and saw that the cloth strip simply said, Tianzi Peak, Xuanyinzi, Divine Strategy, Encirclement and Suppression.

Pei Yuan didn't know about Xuan Yinzi, but he was certain that Yu Chunyang had a close relationship.

"Xuan Yinzi couldn't surpass his master because of his swordsmanship. He became obsessed and reverted to a child during his practice. He would reincarnate every other Jiazi and turn back into a child. It took nine or eighty-one days to recover, but his body would lose five years each time. , so Xuan Yinzi hated the master, thinking that it was all because of the master."

Qi Jin only said so much, but Pei Yuan couldn't understand the note in line with Qi Jin's words just now.

I'm afraid that Xuan Yinzi pretended to be Xie Yunliu and did evil on Tianzi Peak. He thought that he was a traitor to Xie Yunliu, so he encircled and suppressed him.But I don't know how much the friend in front of me has done in this matter.

As soon as Xuan Yinzi's incident happened, I'm afraid that the story of Xie Yunliu saving the deposed emperor and becoming a demon would be brought up again in the Jianghu.After all, although many people have seen that Chunyang disciple injured Lu Zhenren, everyone is puzzled.Chunyang did not send anyone to arrest Xie Yunliu, and the two also love each other like father and son, so why did they fight each other?Regardless of whether it was Xie Yunliu who did it back then, I am afraid that many people will suspect Xuan Yinzi now.

"I don't want to talk too much about you, I just hope you don't lose your mind." Pei Yuan knew that no matter how much he said, he would not be able to shake the person in front of him, so he let out a long sigh and walked away.

"Qi Jin wrote it down."
