Spoiler: Before departure(2/2)
Dongfang Liren snorted softly, looked at the sleepy bird again, raised his hand and touched his head:
"Be good when you go out and don't ask for food when you see anyone."
The bird rubbed its head against the palm of its hand, then jumped onto Ye Jingtang's shoulder and waved its wings:
"Ji~"
"grumble!"
Ye Jingtang got off the carriage, got on his horse, looked at the tall Queen standing outside the carriage, raised his hand and waved, then he grabbed the horse's belly and ran towards the end of Wangfu Street.
Hoof-clack, hoof-clack——
Dongfang Liren stood outside the carriage and watched. He originally wanted to maintain a dignified expression, but when the horse was about to turn the corner, his red lips moved slightly and he shouted:
"Night Terror Hall, be careful all the way."
Ye Jingtang turned around and waved his hand from a distance:
"I know. Your Highness, please be careful along the way. See you in Wuzhou."
As he spoke, the horse turned the corner of the street, leaving only the sound of horse hooves getting further away.
Dongfang Liren's eyes moved and he stared for a long time. When the sound of horse hooves disappeared, he took a breath and returned to the carriage...

On the other side, Wuzhou.
At dusk, the sun shines brightly like blood in the sky, shining on the official road along the Wujiang River.
The convoy that had been coming from a long way was moving slowly, led by more than ten warriors, looking at the scenery along the river, with a bit of uncertainty in their eyes as if they were unfamiliar with the place.
The leader of the Qinglian Gang, Yang Guan, was dressed as a martial artist, riding a horse and carrying a broadsword. Compared with his submissive expression in the capital, his expression was obviously more confident that "there is someone above". His subordinates looked unsure.
He looked so comforting and said:
"In the capital, I was single-handed and couldn't give up three points to others. It's different in Wuzhou. Wuzhou is my hometown. My Yang family is considered a wealthy family here. Sanjue Valley is the top wealthy family in Wuzhou. My master
The Sanjue Immortal, he is a figure that even the Eight Great Leaders would give a thumbs up to when they meet him..."
Yang Guan's words were obviously boasting, but they were not outrageous.
The territory of the Wei Dynasty was too vast, and no matter how powerful the Jianghu sects were, they could only rule one side.
In Wuzhou, there is no single dominant force like the Bakui, and it is far away from the capital, so resources can be shared equally among all the forces.
It is never a joke to be poor in literature and rich in military affairs. With sufficient resources, the number of first-class factions in Wuzhou is far greater than that in other places. The Jianghu forces outside Wuzhou are generally called the "Twelve Sects of Wuzhou".
Among the twelve sects, the four most powerful are 'Sanjue Valley, Tiehe Villa, Tianyue Tower, and Wushan Sect'. The other eight are second-rate, but they should not be underestimated.
The Three Jue Immortal Guang Hanlin is the head of the Three Jue Valley. Although he is now older and his martial arts is not considered top among the masters and has gradually been relegated to the second line, it was not simple when he was young.
Everyone in the world knows that Sanjue Immortal was taught by Fengguan City, and the way he was taught was that Guang Hanlin went to Tiannan to challenge Fengguan City.
Realizing that he was far behind the number one in the world, Guang Hanlin ran to challenge Xuanyuan Chao, Liu Qiansheng, and Lu Jieyun, hoping to become the Eight Great Leaders.
Although he lost all three battles and gained nothing, he was able to master both internal and external skills, and could compete with Ba Kui twice in combat, fists, kicks, and body skills. Guang Hanlin still became a legend in the world, the "Three Wonders Immortal"
'The name also comes from this.
Yang Guan was Guang Hanlin's registered apprentice. His family paid money to become a disciple, but he didn't learn much, but his status as a master and apprentice remained.
In the past, in Yunzhou, people like Ye Jingtang and Cheng Shilu could not give face; but in Wuzhou, if they dare to spank Yang Guan, that would be a slap in the face of the Sanjue Immortal!
Yang Guan returned to his hometown, thinking that he would have a backer and no longer have to worry about being stepped on, and his spine felt a little straighter.
When he arrived at the huge valley along the Wujiang River, Yang Guan didn't even take a sip of water. He carried a gift box and hurried to the headmaster's residence in the back mountain of Sanjue Valley.
Wuzhou is famous for its Wushan Mountains and Wujiang River. It is full of mountains and ridges and is rich in various medicinal materials.
The main source of income for the Sanjue Valley to maintain the sect's livelihood is to collect medicinal materials. Guang Hanlin has been in business all his life, and now his family business is quite large. The entire valley looks majestic, even with a misty fairy aura.
Yang Guan trotted to the waterfall at the back of the valley, where he could see the gray-haired Guang Hanlin drinking tea by the pool. He quickly ran over and kowtowed:
"Master! I miss you so much!"
Guang Hanlin shook the small teacup gently and glanced casually:
"You were doing well in the capital, why did you come back?"
Yang Guan trotted up to him with the gift box in hand: "The capital is not a place for people to mingle. When I reported my name as master, no one paid any attention to me. Even the young leader of a third-rate sect dared to threaten to break my legs..."
Guang Hanlin waved his hand slightly: "Okay, I'm bothered by the teacher, go and have a rest."
"Why is Master upset? But Master is not satisfied with Master?"
Yang Guan sat down next to him, picked up the gift box, and when he opened it, there was a row of pills inside:
"This is the nectar pill prepared by Divine Doctor Wang in the capital. It is strong and does not harm the body. Ordinary people cannot buy it..."
Guang Hanlin frowned, covered the medicine box and put it aside:
"Do you need this thing for your master? What a waste of courtesy... Something happened to King Wu, it seems to be a crime of treason. There is a lot of chaos in Jianyang City now, and Wuzhou may be about to change."
After Yang Guan was beaten by Cheng Shilu, he packed up his things and ran away in despair. He really didn't know about this and asked:
"The fall of King Wu has nothing to do with Master?"
"Guan Yujia of Tiehe Villa is close to King Wu. There is a high chance that he will be punished this time. Guan Yujia just sent a message in the afternoon, asking me to hold some kind of martial arts conference to discuss countermeasures. Weishi went to make trouble.
Sao, if you don’t go, you will be watching from the other side. If Tiehe Villa survives this disaster, there will be no small trouble..."
Tiehe Villa's official jade armor is now the leader of the twelve gates in Wuzhou. Yang Guan knew the importance and thought about it and said:
"I was hanging out in the capital, and I got to know an adult from a black government office. He treated me like a bitch, so we had some friendship..."
"This matter is not trivial, even the six evil spirits cannot suppress it..."
"I don't know Liu Sha. It is said that he was the best friend of Prince Jing of the dynasty. Not only is he handsome, he is also very capable and scary. If Master can spare tens of thousands of taels of silver as a stepping stone..."
"Tens of thousands?!"
"Prince Jing's connections may not be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Why don't master get some century-old ginseng and I can send them over first to get a taste of it?"
"Oh... go ahead, go ahead..."
…

Just figured out the outline.
