Gu Qingyan and the others met Beiming on the road, so they stopped for a rest. Beiming wanted to talk to Gu Qingyan about something, so they came to the side.

"Where is Xijue?" Gu Qingyan asked without seeing Xijue.

Beiming replied: "Xijue will take the newcomers back to Peach Blossom Stream first."

The newcomers he spoke of were the new disciples who were about to enter Shimen, and most of them were between nine and twelve or thirteen years old.

"There is a girl." Beiming said. The girl was none other than Yiyi who was rescued some time ago.

Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "Remember to tell your second brother that she is his friend's daughter after all."

After saying this, Beiming told Gu Qingyan everything he had found out in the deep valley bamboo forest, and mentioned Ye Jinliang, the prince of Yong'an. Gu Qingyan frowned and murmured: "You can't be calm."

But looking back, it's no wonder that Taohuajian has been pushed step by step to confirm that he will go to Biluo Palace recently. In addition to the sudden roster, the wind in the world is also blowing, all thanks to him Youzhutang.

Now I understand why Zhao Qiyue and Situ Haoyang came here one after another. Those who want to contact are not the people below who can talk to them.

"Not returning to the city?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Nangong and Zhao Qiyue of Shuangying Building asked Ye Jinliang to contact them. Gu Qingyan was not worried. After all, Yuhua Building was not just a decoration there. It was easy to stumble in secret. Baili Mo had already given the order.

But instead of returning to the city, Zhao Qiyue said he was already in place, which had to make Gu Qingyan alert.

"The three of them have already seen it once, and there is nothing unusual around here." Baili Mo walked up to Gu Qingyan at some point and said to her.

Even so, Gu Qingyan told Beiming to pay more attention.

After a short rest, the group set out again. Before they reached Peach Blossom Stream, Hanyan had already returned to Qingquan Villa.

After sending Han Yin back to the house to rest, Han Yan went to find Han Zhuo: "Father, mother."

Han Zhuo was wiping his sword in the sword pavilion. He Jing happened to bring tea in and saw Han Yan coming. Han Zhuo put down his sword and the family of three sat at the tea table and talked about the situation in Qingluo Temple.

Hearing that Gu Qingyan and Situ Haoyang met head-on and were injured, Han Zhuo asked a few questions, but Han Yan said it was nothing serious and left it alone.

The three of them discussed Su Tanxue. Han Zhuo sighed softly and said, "Tanxue has reached the age of leaving the court. She is not like Qing Yan. After all, she is still a young lady who has never left home. Your mother

I’m also looking for a good son-in-law for her.”

Regarding Su Tanxue's marriage, these two adults also discussed it. They had a conversation with Su Tanxue at the beginning and was rejected by Su Tanxue. At that time, Su Tanxue was still an extremely cautious and reserved girl. These two

It's not tough.

Later, I felt that this matter could not be decided by just the two of them. After all, Su Guyun was still alive, but he was wandering around on his own. No one knew his whereabouts. Qingquan Villa also sent people to look for him, and finally found him. No one wanted to

After returning, we only had intermittent contact. I had to ask Su Guyun about this child's marriage.

Han Yan just listened to the two elders thinking about it, and wondered whether he should tell the elders about Situ Haoyang now and let them prepare mentally.

After thinking about it for a while, he might as well forget it. After all, he couldn't tell how things would develop now, so he might as well talk about it later.

The topic turned to Han Zhuo about going to the Shimen Trial in Peach Blossom Stream this year to watch the battle. Han Zhuo didn't say much, but told Han Yan to remember to remind him to bring him the gift he had prepared for Xing Ming when he came back.

He Jing said from the side: "Shaolin invited me the first two times, so when we go, don't you have an excuse not to go?"

Han Yan replied: "If the child doesn't get this gift from dad, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year." With the gift, Han Yan made a detour.

He Jing looked at Han Zhuo, and their eyes met, as if she had seen through it but would not tell him.

Gu Qingyan and his party returned to Peach Blossom Stream. Gu Ning and the others had also left not long ago. Qingquan Villa, which had been bustling for a few days, returned to its original life.

The same is true for Su Tanxue. Gu Qingyan has gone back, and the only person who talks to her is the maid Guo'er, and the others are elders. Su Tanxue can't talk to Han Yan about some whispers between girls.

As for Situ Haoyang, Su Tanxue heard that Situ Haoyang was there at Qingluo Temple, but did not see him. The last time they met was on the day of grandma’s birthday. In Su Tanxue’s world, Situ Haoyang came and left silently.

Quietly...

Guo'er made the bed, turned around and saw his young lady sitting in a daze by the window. She called out softly a few times, but Su Tanxue didn't respond, so Guo'er had no choice but to get closer: "Miss, Miss."

Su Tanxue came back to her senses, turned around and saw Guo'er behind her: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Su Tanxue's reaction, Guo'er said, "Miss, you've been tired from traveling. My servant has already made the bed. Please take a rest, Miss."

After Guo'er said this, Su Tanxue felt a little sleepy, so she let Guo'er take care of her and changed her clothes, then lay down to rest.

A light and elegant aroma gradually penetrated the heart and spleen. Su Tanxue remembered that she had not had such a spice before, so she asked softly: "Guo'er, this spice seems different from the past?"

After Guo'er listened and smelled it, she found that she had taken the spices from the place where they usually kept spices. She couldn't explain the reason: "My slave took it from the place where spices are usually kept."

Su Tanxue waved her hands and said, "That's all." She turned over and closed her eyes.

This spice seemed to have a soothing effect. After a while, Su Tanxue fell asleep peacefully, quietly shedding her tiredness.

Xu Shaolin went to Qingzhou this time to take a look at his tea business. Qingzhou is a place with green mountains and green waters, and mountains and mountains. The natural environment has supported a group of tea farmers. Xu Shaolin gathered these people, circled a mountain, and built a

There is a tea garden, and the annual production and sales are pretty good. It rained a few times this autumn. When there was a lot of rain, the tea trees grew first. Who would have thought that there was a frost not long ago, and it continued for many days, and a batch of

The tea tree couldn't bear it any longer, and the subordinates thought about everything about the harvest. At the same time, they reported this to their superiors. After Dongli got the letter, he reported it to Xu Shaolin, who then made a trip to Qingzhou on the way.

As soon as I arrived in Qingzhou, I heard the manager in charge of the tea garden explain the situation and the current solution. The tea buds and seedlings had been lost a lot. Since they were already lost, there was no other way. Xu Shaolin prepared some materials to appease the tea farmers.

He also gave some silver coins to make up for the loss.

Then he turned around and ordered the stewards to get a large amount of straw and spread it on the weeds. On the one hand, it would keep the weather warm. On the other hand, even if there was another frost, the frost would be on the straw to reduce losses.

Fortunately, most of the tea in autumn and winter is reserved for storage, so the order quantity is also small. Xu Shaolin checked the business of several tea houses near Qingzhou and found that there were some with surplus, so he came here first.

After Xu Shaolin handled these matters and returned to Taohua Stream, Gu Qingyan and the others had already arrived.

Xu Shaolin thought that Zongyue, Baili Mo and Gu Qingyan would all be involved in the inventory, so he asked Dongli to call the three of them to meet in his study room in Qiwu Courtyard to discuss the matter.

After Dong Li returned, Zong Yue and Baili Mo came in one after another, but Gu Qingyan was nowhere to be seen. Xu Shaolin asked Dong Li, "Where are the four girls?"

Dongli replied: "The fourth girl is at Shimen and has sent someone to send a message. She will come back later."

After Dong Li finished speaking, the three people ignored Gu Qingyan for the time being. Anyway, Gu Qingyan had always been willing to listen or not listen to what the three of them wanted to say.

"These are all the accounts of Taohuajian over the past year. You two dozen can start reading them today." Xu Shaolin said, pointing to the account books piled up on the desk at hand.

Since Xu Shaolin took charge of Taohuajian, three people have reviewed all their accounts and then started to make plans for the next year. Just looking at the accounts is enough to keep them busy for a while.

Gu Qingyan didn't like these calculations, so at times like this, she stayed at Shimen and concentrated on "torturing" these shadow guards.

Zong Yue was forced to get used to the account books, and after being tortured several times, he became accustomed to it.

All the accounts have been reconciled by the accounting office. Before the three of them gathered, they had already confirmed whether all the accounts were true and settled the accounts. This relatively reduced the workload of the three of them.

Anyway, I can't finish this account in a while, so Baili Mo told the two of them some information collected by Yuhua Tower recently.

Including the current situation in the west, those sects that have confirmed that they are going to Biluo Palace, and those who are more concerned about Taohua Stream recently.

"Shaolin, what do you think?" Zong Yue asked Xu Shaolin.

Xu Shaolin tapped his fingertips on the table and said thoughtfully: "Can Situ Haoyang's recent whereabouts still be traced?"

Baili Mo shook his head. After Qingluo Temple, the secret agents he sent out either couldn't come back or there were no traces.

Not to mention Situ Haoyang, even Zhao Qiyue later disappeared, leaving only an empty yard in the deep valley bamboo forest.

"Mo, from now on we will strengthen the defense of all Taohua Streams. Yue, aren't you going to the town for a free clinic? Let the villagers release the exact news that Taohua Stream will leave for Biluo Palace after the New Year." Xu Shaolin arranged for the two of them.

Judging from the reports from Xi Jue and Beiming, Fu Tu wants to instigate other sects to conflict with Tao Hua Jian, so that Tao Hua Jian can focus on external affairs.

Gu Qingyan is Taohuajian's weakness and their best breakthrough point. Maybe Fu Tu wants to make something out of Gu Qingyan.

As for Qingquan Villa, he and Han Yan discussed it. Since Situ Haoyang's target is Su Tanxue, this should be left to Han Yan himself.

Zong Yue revealed to Han Yan Situ Haoyang's poisoning methods, hoping he could prevent them.

"Where were you talking?" Gu Qingyan entered the room, and several people were talking about this matter.

"I came just in time. How is the situation at Shimen?" Xu Shaolin asked.

Gu Qingyan sat down, took a sip of tea first, and then said, "Second brother, come with me when you have time."

The three of them looked over with slightly doubtful eyes, and Gu Qingyan continued: "Second brother, among the new children, there is a girl named Yiyi. It is up to you to decide whether to let her stay."

Shimen rarely accepts girls. Firstly, it is because girls cannot easily resist Shimen’s training. Secondly, most of Shimen are men. There is something inappropriate about being with girls. Thirdly, in the past, Gu Ning felt that if it wasn’t special, Shimen

The trip was too torture for the girl. After all, not everyone can be like Gu Qingyan.

After Zong Yue heard this, he could only say that he would go and have a look at the time before making a decision. He didn't know why Yiyi was among these children.

"Nothing else?" Baili Mo asked.

"No more." Gu Qingyan replied simply. So far, she has not found anything strange about Shimen, and she can't expect anything strange from Shimen every day, as it will cause trouble for herself.

Xu Shaolin hummed, no other situation was the best, but he did not forget to tell Gu Qingyan: "You also know Fu Tu's style, don't neglect it."

Gu Qingyan responded and remembered what Beiming told her about No Return City, so she asked Baili Mo: "Third brother, how much do we know about No Return City? Beiming heard Zhao Qiyue say that No Return City is in place.

.Do you know what it means?"

Baili Mo explained to Gu Qingyan: "The City of No Return specially trains a group of killers, who usually travel at night. It is said that as long as they are given money, they can do any killing job. Compared to our hidden guards, they are more ruthless and cold-blooded.

, only obey the orders of the benefactor. If the mission fails, you will commit suicide directly. This is similar to a dead soldier."

Gu Qingyan responded with an ooh, and was thinking about something else.

Xu Shaolin smiled helplessly at the other two people. They had no other choice about Gu Qingyan. This girl often had her own ideas, but she would not say them out until the last moment. This also trained the three of them.

The ability to adapt temporarily.

The four of them gathered together to review everything about Peach Blossom Stream, the inventory, and the trials. Gu Qingyan looked at the account books and waved her hands repeatedly, telling them to let the three of them solve it themselves. After saying that, she was about to run away, but in the end
