After a while, he pressed his palm on the futon, stood up, and said with a smile: "Qixi, put on your raincoat, let's go!"

Immediately, he put the large-sized human raincoat on his body, took a quick look, and found that Qixi was behind, already wearing a smaller coir raincoat, looking at him eagerly.

"Okay, it's time to go." Qi Ku almost blushed, but he has been practicing Buddhism for many years. Apart from other things, he has already mastered his shameless skills, otherwise he would not be able to get into a temple.

They also ate and drank everywhere.

After locking the door of the temple, Qiku grabbed Qixi's little hand and stepped into the wind and snow.

They walked very fast, and although there was wind and snow blocking them, it did not cause much interference to them.

…

The golden and jade-filled hall of the Ji family is warm and very comfortable.

The charcoal here is special refined charcoal, well ventilated and almost non-toxic.

But Zi Yan is still not satisfied.

Expensive charcoal wood costs a lot of money to burn for one day. Even so, it is still far inferior to the heating provided by Yang Ruoqing in Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Nowadays, even the imperial palace is building new heating equipment. In a sense, a city like Sixiang City, which is some distance away from the capital, is lagging behind.

Zi Yan sat on the armchair, eyes half-squinted, she was waiting for someone.

After about a stick of incense, two figures walked in from outside.

The leader of the young man is quite tall, but his face is still a bit immature. There is a smile on his handsome face. The man in black standing behind him stands like a pine tree, motionless, but his eyes are like an eagle, always there.

may break out,

"Sister Ziyan, I'm here." The young man said with raised lips.

"Xingchen, come and sit down and take a rest. It's windy and snowy outside. You've been traveling for so long and you're tired." Zi Yan stood up and greeted.

It was Luo Xingchen who came. He did not come back to Changping Village this time, but after settling down the Wuchao Lake navy, he hurried to Sixiang City to see Zi Yan.

"Okay, I'll sit down for a while first."

After Luo Xingchen sat down, he said to the man behind him: "Uncle Ye Yi, sit down too. Sister Ziyan's territory will not be in danger."

"I'll just stand, don't worry." Ye Yiyi said a few words, then stopped talking.

"Just sit down for a while when you're here. It's quite safe here in the Ji family. Besides, how can you protect the stars if you don't take a good rest," Zi Yan said.

Zi Yan had heard about Ye Yi, and she didn't dare to underestimate him.

Ye Yi is an old man who follows Luo Fengtang and is very skilled in martial arts. This time it was Luo Fengtang who called him back to protect Luo Xingchen.

Yoruichi didn't answer, just stood still.

"Forget it Sister Ziyan, you can't persuade him anymore. I think only dad can persuade him to have such a stubborn temper." Luo Xingchen said a little helplessly.

"Sister Ziyan, let's talk about Yinshan. I heard a soldier from Yinshan say that there are iron mines there, and there seems to be a lot of them. There are tribes from Daxia who came here with iron.

Merchants exchange, but it is done very secretly. If my soldiers here had not happened to see the transaction once, no one outside would know about it."

Luo Xingchen picked up the tea cup in his hand, which contained his favorite Pang Dahai. He took a sip and felt refreshed.

"Isn't there enough steel for shipbuilding?" Zi Yan said.

"Yes, the nearby steel plant can no longer dig out good iron ore. If we can't find new ore sources, the process will be slowed down." Luo Xingchen was a little helpless.

"It's not a good time to look for new mines. The Ji family's caravan was robbed and killed by horse thieves in Yinshan. It was also the middle of winter, and the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. The road into the mountain was difficult to pass..." Zi Yan frowned.

road.

"Perhaps there is no need for others to take the highway. My soldier is from the nearby village of Tianji City. There is a trail leading through the mountain that can be walked there." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.

"Have you told your wife and the general about this matter?" Zi Yan did not dare to make any independent decisions. This matter involved Luo Xingchen's safety.

After all, in terms of age, Luo Xingchen is only in his teens and has not yet reached adulthood. No matter how talented and precocious he is, it is impossible for him to be able to master everything.

"I sent them a letter. I can make the decision on this matter myself, not to mention Uncle Ye Yi, he can protect me." Luo Xingchen said.

"Let's do this. After I finish the meditation meeting and the Taoist Dharma meeting, and then we set off together, how about you change the appearance of the stars and wait for some time during these days?" Zi Yan said.

"Yes, there's no rush. It's okay to leave within half a month." Luo Xingchen nodded.

"Okay, come to my room and I'll paint your face."

Zi Yan smiled and led Luo Xingchen into her room from behind.

And Ye Yi, she stopped him at the door and refused to let him in.

What does it look like for a grown man to break into a woman's boudoir? As for Luo Xingchen, he is still a child, and what kind of relationship are they? There is a close sibling relationship, so what if he brings his younger brother into the boudoir?

After saying this, Yoruichi had to wait outside the door.

In the room, Luo Xingchen sat in front of the dressing table.

There were many bottles and cans on the table. Seeing Luo Xingchen reaching out to pick up a bottle, Zi Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "This bottle contains poisonous scorpion powder. It will be poisonous if it touches the skin."

"Where's this bottle?" Luo Xingchen extended his finger to another bottle.

"This is centipede powder!"

"Your place is full of poisons. You learned the wrong way from Sister Yu'er."

Luo Xingchen sat obediently, not daring to touch the bottles and jars on top.

Zi Yan covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Xingchen, please close your eyes first and wait for me to draw your face."

"good."

Luo Xingchen closed his eyes as instructed.

Soon, he felt something cold on his face. From time to time, a paintbrush was scratched on his face, and various creams were applied on his face. After a while, he heard the sound of purple smoke in his ears.

"Okay, take a look, how it looks now, are you satisfied?"

Luo Xingchen opened his eyes and saw his current appearance in the mirror. Judging from his appearance, he had really undergone a huge change.

The eyebrows, nose, and even the shape of the face have all undergone some changes. After all the parts have been fine-tuned, the combination looks very strange.

He was originally handsome, but he is still good-looking now, but his sharp edges make him look a few years older and more mature, and he looks almost twenty years old.

Luo Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.

The best thing is that no one can recognize her as she is now.

"Sister Ziyan, will you find the person you are looking for if you hold a Zen meditation meeting and a Taoist Dharma meeting?" Luo Xingchen asked.
