Yizhou.

Zhujiazhuang.

"This is actually the headquarters of the Southern Witch Cult. It's really incredible."

When Wan Yiren first heard the news, he looked shocked.

You must know that Zhujiazhuang is a well-known Zhuangzi in Yizhou, and the Zhu family is also a famous family. Many of them have been successful in becoming scholars, and they belong to the group of people who have been favored by the emperor.

Zhujiazhuang's interests are basically the same as those of the imperial court.

Going against the imperial court would do no good to Zhujiazhuang.

But the Zhu family did it without hesitation, and the entire Zhu family has become a branch of the Southern Witch Cult.

In the reception room of Zhujiazhuang, Wan Yiren and Yang Huchen were received by the owner of the village.

Zhu Dayang, the owner of Zhujiazhuang, had met Wan Yiren before. At that time, Zhu Dayang was a powerful man in Yizhou, and Wan Yiren was the county governor of Yizhou.

In terms of status, the owner of Zhujiazhuang is far from the owner of a county.

But now times have changed, and if Yiren is no longer the princess, the owner of Zhujiazhuang will still be the owner.

"Sir Wan, Mr. Yang, the presence of these two gentlemen at my humble residence really makes our village shine brightly."

Zhu Dayang was white and fat, wearing the outer clothes of a wealthy official, and saluted Wan Yiren and Yang Huchen.

"No, no, Master Zhu is so polite."

Wan Yiren was just saying pleasantries, but in his heart he felt a trace of pity for him.

He has a cooperative relationship with the Southern Witch Cult. Even though he is no longer the head of the county, fundamentally, both parties are still on equal footing.

Zhu Dayang is different. He was controlled by the Southern Witch Cult using a new type of longevity ointment.

On the surface, everything seems fine, but Wan Yiren knows the consequences better than anyone else.

If Ren only used it once, it was used on the garrison general Wang Junying.

He saw with his own eyes that the garrison general Wang Junying went from being unruly to kneeling on the ground begging him for longevity ointment. The tearful scene made Wan Yiren feel chilled in his heart, and he truly understood what it is to be in control of the body and mind.

Therefore, cooperation is cooperation, and he has always been wary of the Southern Witch Cult.

After exchanging pleasantries with Master Zhu, the three of them entered the living room together.

The conditions of the Zhu family's living room are quite good. There is a cold wind outside, but it is very warm inside. In addition, all kinds of tea, fruits and vegetables are prepared.

Originally there were several maids kneeling on the side.

At Wan Yiren's request, Zhu Dayang waved the maids away.

As a result, there were only three of them left in the room.

"Master Wan, you already know what the elder means, right?"

Without outsiders present, Zhu Dayang no longer had to hide anything.

"Know."

Wan Yiren nodded.

"The elder mainly wants us to do two things. The first is to control the high-level officials, which is mainly handled by Mr. Wan. The second is to disrupt Yizhou and ruin the plan of General Luo Fengtang's march next spring."

"These two things require our full cooperation to achieve them."

Zhu Dayang said seriously.

"How can we do it? I thought about spreading rumors to prevent Luo Fengtang from recruiting troops, but his prestige is too high for rumors to work."

Wan Yiren frowned.

Both of the things Elder Canaan wants to do are difficult to solve, and he has not seen a single breakthrough point so far.

"The elders have their own arrangements, we just need to cooperate."

Zhu Dayang smiled, and there was a bit of mystery in his smile.

"How to cooperate?"

Wan Yiren frowned.

Zhu Dayang didn't speak, he took out a luggage.

Put your luggage on the table.

"There is something you need in here, but this cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

Zhu Dayang suddenly looked solemn and said.

Wan Yiren and Yang Huchen looked at each other, and then opened their bags.

The luggage was only as big as a palm. After opening it, there were seven small jade bottles inside.

The mouths of the jade bottles are all sealed with wooden corks, and a peculiar fragrance can be smelled from the outside. It is conceivable that the contents inside are likely to be some kind of medicine.

"how to use?"

Wan Yiren asked.

He only asked about the usage, not the origin and purpose of the item. This is the cunning side of his human nature.

"When the time comes, pull out the plug, and you will understand."

Zhu Dayang said.

After this matter was said, they did not talk about similar topics again, but focused on other aspects.

In this way, they had a lot of fun talking and laughing.

…

Teahouse.

Zi Yan sat in the box and waited for a while.

Then I saw Silver Eyes coming in from outside in a hurry.

"Have you made contact there?"

Zi Yan asked.

"Contact is complete, Rongshan Village brought a post over."

Silver Eyes turned his hand and placed an invitation on the table.

The invitation is an ordinary piece of paper, but the person writing on it is extraordinary.

Zi Yan glanced at it and knew that this post was written by Zhang Tianyi, the leader of Rongshan Village.

"Okay, you pass the general's reply and say that the general will go to worship the mountain on time on the agreed date."

Purple smoke.

The people of the Gu family have returned to the mountains. In winter, things are very busy in the mountains, and there is also an extreme shortage of food. If Wei Lanfeng, the new governor, had not sent people to collect food and transport it to the mountains, a large number of the indigenous people in the mountains would have died this winter.

Weak, sick and disabled.

Although it is said that the indigenous people have been surviving like this for many years.

But even so, they still can't face it all calmly, and every time they encounter it, their loved ones will be heartbroken.

"Okay, sir, I'll answer you right away."

Silver Eyes stood up and prepared to leave.

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

Zi Yan added.

"How has the Gu family's food supply been replenished?"

"The Gu family basically has enough food. It's not a big problem to survive the winter...but the Gu family is not the only indigenous people in the mountains..."

Silver Eyes said.

"Isn't it the ancient fashion to hold meetings of the indigenous people?"

Zi Yan asked.

"Yes, the head of the Gu family is planning to hold a joint meeting in five days. All the indigenous tribes in the mountain have sent people, usually either the head of the tribe himself or the high priest of the tribe."

Silver Eyes said.

The high priest has a very high status among the indigenous tribes, basically second only to the tribe leader. In minority tribes, his authority is even greater than that of the tribe leader.

"It opens in five days. Let me go over and participate, representing the imperial court."

Zi Yan thought for a while and said.

"Sir, do you want to tell him in advance?"

Silver Eyes said.

"No, I will set off now to go to the Gu family. You mainly need to keep in touch with Rongshan village."

Purple smoke.

Originally, she had no intention of going to the Gu family, but when she thought about it carefully, if she didn't go, if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't be able to deal with it on the spot.

Or maybe she went ahead of time to nip the unrest in the bud.

There is no way, the Aboriginal meeting is really too important to Luo Fengtang now.
