Chapter 20: At your own risk

Under the guidance of the ceremonial guard, Queen Qingping and his party went to the Imperial Royal Family Mansion. The Royal Family Mansion was located in Xicheng District, located in the area of ​​the Wanghou Family. (The Holy Hall) was just a few streets next to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although Queen Qingping was the third princess of the Empire, she was already the Queen of Daye at this time, and in terms of history, she was actually considered a native of Daye. At this time, the imperial royal family still needed to arrange the arrangements, and even after reporting them layer by layer, they would be arranged by the emperor to receive the time. Everything was in accordance with the rules of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that the emperor still did not mean to meet the queen directly.

The banquet that day was held at the Prime Minister's Mansion. After the queen was placed in the house, Li Yan personally came to pick up the queen and moved the horse. Through the followers, he had known about the banquet at Liu Shulou. In addition to Zhao Su, Lu Zixuan and others, there were also Zhang Yi, a powerful doctor in Shengjing City, and Qi Jianming, the four major clans, and other senior figures of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Apart from the close maids who came back, it was obvious that Yang Ze was not among the invitations. This is of course expected. Although the Prime Minister had said something kind to him before, at most he had the skills to control his subordinates. At the banquet at the level of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one in their Da Ye was qualified to occupy another seat except the Queen or Master Hanzang.

Yang Ze is no exception. But of course, there will be problems with the queen's safety. Just looking at the elite guards brought by Li Yan and the family and guest ministers of the Prime Minister's Office, it is enough to ensure the safety of the queen's banquet.

The courtyard arranged by the royal family for Princess Qingping was treated at the level of a monarch. It had one main courtyard and three side courtyards. Yang Ze, Zong Shou, Wen Quan and his party came to Da Ye and settled in the side courtyard. It was said that it was a side courtyard, but it was actually larger than an ordinary high-gate courtyard, which was enough to accommodate many people from Da Ye’s place.

After entering the empire, I felt the superiority and power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This time, the elites of Da Ye were accompanied. Although they did not feel ashamed of themselves in the face of the empire, they were still somewhat embarrassed when they entered Shengjing City. Yang Ze became their center of gravity and pillar at this time. Speaking of which, this trip escorted the King Qingping to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and performed political tasks. Any political task was inevitable. Once they took a wrong step in this turbulent imperial capital of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Queen Qingping and royal blood could survive, but they could inevitably become dead souls under the sword in a blink of an eye. Therefore, at this time, Yang Ze, who had the highest status among the people, became the person that everyone could rely on the most at this time.

They were quite confident in Yang Ze, not only because of his identity, but also the strength that shocked Da Ye when he was fighting against the Seven Jue Dharma King in Shanglin City.

Faced with the support and trust of everyone, Yang Ze felt a little pressure. After they entered the empire, they were the smallest force, and he himself offended the Seventh Prince of the Song Family. Now he needs to worry about self-protection, let alone rescue the eldest brother and second brother who are in trouble, and the distant Situo. But it’s better not to think about these troubles for the time being.

After entering Shengjing, the Queen was safely placed in the royal family and accompanied Han Xue and the four of them were successfully completed. They were about to return to the Lancang Cultivation Academy, which was located in Wangshan to the south of Shengjing City, to hand over the task.

The four of them had been together for more than ten days, and they became friends after getting along. When they were separated, they left contact information. Chu Wei, Tao Ziyi, Baisen and others had a good relationship with Zong Shou. When they were separated, they felt a little sympathetic about this cheerful and honest fishing village boy. "

Han Xue hesitated for a while, and her breasts were tall and tender. Her handsome eyes looked at Yang Ze, with a pink face and a little beautiful. She said, "You can settle here first. In a few days, we will take you to visit Shengjing City. There are many beautiful scenery here."

Baisen, Guo Ziyi, and Chu Wei stared at Han Xue in surprise. She said this for the first time! This was the first time she took the initiative to invite a man. Although she was accompanied by a group of people, she did not simply ask Yang Ze alone. However, the change in her attitude had changed a lot.

She had seen Yang Ze's attitude towards the local people in a small place. She saw Da Ye's simple clothes, and saw that he did not have the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and saw that he was covered in gray, as if he was everywhere, without eye-catching light... In short, with these picky arrogance and prejudice.

But from the moment she saw Yang Ze attacking the Song Fence ship, her impression of the young man in front of her had greatly changed. It can be said that he had a deeper impression on her than the young master Song Qi who came over. Seeing the invitation she made separately, Chu Wei, Bai Sen, and Tao Ziyi all showed some strange colors. But then she thought, it was better than her belonging to the young master Song Jingxin, so that they would regret it even more.

Seeing the four cultivators leaving, Zong Shou did not forget to grin at Yang Ze and quipped, "Brother, the skill you showed on the Song Valve ship is so beautiful, which has greatly changed Sister Han Xue's impression of you. It seems that she is very interesting to you!"

Then he stuck out his tongue and avoided it as Yang Ze glared at him fiercely. Seeing his monkey-like appearance, Yang Ze couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, when you enter the prosperous Tang Dynasty, you will be in a whirlpool. Don’t have any more headaches like this.

The lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion were smudged in the night sky, like a big lantern. The night banquet was still underway.

There was an additional guest in the inner courtyard of the Princess's Courtyard of the Royal Family Mansion.

The visitor was a middle-aged man wearing a black rustic shirt suitable for traveling at night. There were traces of wind and frost on his face. At this time, he was holding a cup of hot tea, starting his hand flat, siping it carefully, maintaining a high degree of self-discipline all over his body. His calm eyes were staring ahead without a focus. But he seemed to be in deep thought.

Yang Ze received news from the visitor and had already driven out of the room, walked through the corridor, entered the inner hall, and saw the visitor. The man had suddenly stood up and bowed, "In the fourth year of Yuanque of the Tianjian Department, he was appointed as the director of the Third Department of the Imperial Supervision Department, and has met Lord Third Crown."

Yang Ze hurriedly saluted and said in surprise, "Now, outside our mansion, we are still under the surveillance of many pairs of eyes. Is it because Lord Shen is seen by someone? Then I can't explain it clearly."

Shen Chang bowed slightly, "Don't worry, the third prince. I've found the queen's place before. I have already made detailed investigation and preparations. I can avoid all the eyes and ears outside and come and go freely."

Shen Chang is the Daye Tianjian Department, which has the highest status and status in the empire. The Daye Tianjian Department, through the efforts of all parties, finally sent Shen Chang to the current position of the empire more than ten years later. This is what Daye has done. The Imperial Supervision Department is a giant who supervises the investigation and arrest of soldiers, horses, money, grain, tax, and tax officials in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "" As Shen Chang's identity, he led the Daye Tianjian Department's secret line in the empire, and he was indeed the most competent person, and he has done such a thing for more than ten years. From his prime of life to his cautious words and deeds now, he is a proper person.

Looking at this middle-aged man, Yang Ze was relieved. He had read the information of Chen Chang. More than ten years ago, Chen Chang came from Daye's Qiu Taoist Court, and Daye secretly cultivated outstanding talents. He loved each other with a princess. Based on his original life, he could have lived a comfortable life as a noble wife, but he resolutely separated from the princess and was willing to bury the dark line and enter the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He reached this point step by step. Yang Ze didn't know what kind of power he could bury for decades and willing to give up all his life in the past.

It seemed that everyone in the Tianjian Department gave Yang Ze a reason to look at him differently. Thinking that he actually took on such an important position and the responsibilities he had to bear on his shoulders, he felt more and more that Da Ye's Emperor Dezhao was indeed hidden in a heart like a profiteer under his honest appearance.

"I have already arrived this time because of what the third prince told me. Yang Que and Yang Wenyuan in the prince's mansion can be confirmed at this time that they are in the Lancang Cultivation Academy."

"The Empire is at Gaolancang Cang Cultivation Academy?" Yang Ze's brow frowned slightly, "What happened."

Being in the Lancang Cultivation Academy certainly does not mean that the two of them practice in the Cultivation Academy, because they are both practicing and free and easy to enter and exit. It is obvious that the two of them are restricted in the Cultivation Academy because of some things. They are under house arrest or... imprisoned.

"I still can't recognize it clearly. I only know that three months ago, a very shocking thing happened in the Cultivation Academy. However, the Lancang Academy belongs to the category of imperial practice, and the Censorate has no right to interfere. In addition, this incident was quickly suppressed by the Lancang Academy, so it was not exposed. Therefore, this matter is very likely to be related to the two elder brothers of the Third Crown."

Although Yang Ze thought that his two elder brothers were now under house arrest and suffered in an unknown corner of the Shengtang Cultivation Academy, he felt like a fire inside and had to act calmly, and nodded immediately, "I have confirmed their location and have a clear mind in my heart. This is a great progress. I hope that Lord Shen will continue to investigate the matters about them, and I hope that when there is news, I will immediately repay me."

Chen Chang, who had been exploring and observing Yang Ze, nodded at this point, "I think the two of them will not be in danger of their lives for the time being. The third prince does not need to worry about this matter. I will find out the truth as soon as possible!"

Chen Chang remembered something and said, "This time he escorted the queen back to Beijing. The third son fought against the Song clan ships, showing off his skills has caused a lot of sensation. No one dared to underestimate me, Da Ye, and even made the news that the queen returned to Beijing have become the focus of the current capital... But the other party is the Song clan. Although it is just the ship of Mr. Song Qi, this Mr. Song Qi, like other sons of the Song clan, does not show up often, and is also a person with less influence in the Song clan. However, the prince's move will probably cause dissatisfaction between the Song clan and some people in the capital. If it is not necessary, it is best not to leave the West Street, even if he wants to go out, he should bring more people."

After saying that, Chen Chang said goodbye and left, jumped out of the villa from a secret place in the southeast corner, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Through this first contact, he had already had a general impression of Yang Ze. As the most important secret leader of Da Ye in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago, and had already left his personal life, death, honor, disgrace, and safety aside. He even had no choice but to break off his relationship with the princess whom he was in love with. Only six years ago, he received news from Da Ye that she had married a marquis who was very good to her.

For Chen Chang, even though he burst into tears overnight, he still had to reply to the most thorough rationality and calm the next day. He still shouldered the heavy responsibility of Da Ye's secret line and brought a lot of powerful information to Da Ye. Such a person naturally had higher requirements for the new Tianjian priest. Even if he was entrusted with someone, no matter whether this was Da Ye's instruction, he would never have allowed the many hidden lines he had established for more than ten years to spread to the other party without reservation.

When I saw you today, in addition to bringing information from Yang Ze, what is more important is to carefully observe what is surprising about this young and jealous priest in the Heavenly Superintendent.

But so far, it is still a fair rule. He knew about his elder brother and second brother. Although there were emotional fluctuations, he was very calm and still knew how to start from the overall situation... This is very good. At least it made Chen Chang feel a little relieved, because he would not be unable to calm down at a critical moment because he spent all his efforts to consolidate in the empire.

At least I had a good impression. This is Chen Chang's evaluation of Yang Ze.

Of course, Yang Ze didn't know the other party's evaluation, but knew that this Tianjian leader was in the dark line of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and had good practice. Although he was cautious in his words and actions, he had a sense of arrogance in his bones. Any talented person had this sense of arrogance, not to mention that due to his age and experience, the other party might not be able to obey him completely.

This shows how it is said that the other party only calls himself "third son" rather than "the master of the priest".

In the following days, Queen Qingping had a banquet almost every day. Every time, the royal family and the Prime Minister's House would come to protect the trip. The queen attended the banquet often, which was the family banquet of the top figures of the empire. There were not many people participating in the banquet, but everyone who attended the banquet was a big figure of the empire's senior. This was obviously a contact with Queen Qingping as a senior official in the empire to find out the true purpose of her trip. She was also the queen, who used her own influence to seek some help.

Of course, the imperial emperor still had no intention of issuing an edict to receive the queen from beginning to end.

What kind of attitude did the prosperous Tang Empire have towards them, Da Ye, still need the recent opinions among the senior officials of the empire and the resolution of the emperor to finally know.

Compared with the huge escort forces in the empire that protected the queen to travel to the banquet, Yang Ze and his party seemed to have almost nothing to do. They escorted the queen into the empire, and after entering the empire, they seemed to have completed their own mission. In addition, the queen attended the banquets that were small but elegant but enough to stir up the high-level imperial officials, and Da Ye had no qualifications to accompany them at all. They seemed extremely leisurely.

However, this also made Yang Ze think carefully about their next actions in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the prosperous Tang Dynasty had already entered winter, and it would occasionally snow, and snow trees and silver flowers became a different scenery in the imperial capital.

There is a street outside the Princess of the Royal Family Palace. Because it is located in the prosperous West City, it is very prosperous. People in the villa can often see the grand scenery of the street outside the courtyard. Even in the snow, there are still people in the carriage and pedestrians, which makes their courtyard appear pure.

Snow melts, snow falls, and seven days pass in a blink of an eye.

The morning was bright and Yang Ze walked in the yard. He had just woken up from a night of meditation. He stretched his body and thought that Qishan Luoxiong and others had arrived at the prosperous Tang Dynasty one step earlier than them. But now it is not the time to contact them. Everything has to be done after Queen Qingping’s recent visit to the high-level officials of the empire has reached a conclusion before they can prepare for their next actions.

At this time, he happened to see the noodle shop on the street opposite through the courtyard gate. The young man entered the noodle shop at this time and sat in the position with the best view of their villa.

Yang Ze frowned, originally going to ask someone to close the door, but at this time he moved. Ling Zongshou and others stayed in the yard, and he stepped out alone and walked into the noodle shop.

The owner of the noodle shop did not know who the young man who would come here to eat his bowl of noodles on time every day. However, he had long been told by people wearing the official uniform of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that every time this young man came, the noodle shop did not need to be cleared, but no one was allowed to chat with the young man.

Fortunately, this young man doesn't seem to know many people, so the people who come to eat noodles can hardly communicate with him.

So when he saw Yang Ze step into the noodle restaurant and come to the young man, although the owner of the noodle restaurant did not think it would be a heinous thing to talk to the young man, he naturally did not want to offend the official official who had told him, so he would come and take Yang Ze to another empty table.

But Yang Ze was unmoved, blocked the boss and still came to the young man who was eating noodles to stand still.

The young man finally seemed to notice the abnormal movement, raised his head and looked at him.

Every face to face.

Yang Ze's eyebrows slightly spread out, showing a clear and confident look.

Although the young man was wearing a very ordinary dress, a blue shirt, a burqa, a deer leather boots and cotton pants. His hair was tied with a bun and dragged down his shoulders and back with a very well-educated manner. The young man was obviously much older than Yang Ze. Although he was wearing an ordinary dress, there was an inexplicable elegance between his eyebrows. When he looked up at Yang Ze, there was a strand of noodles with shiny oil and spicy noodles hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps the young man who looked a little funny because of the other party's reckless behavior had never been so disobedient, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He frowned and quickly sucked the strand of noodles into his mouth and swallowed it.

I saw a smile on the corner of Yang Ze's mouth and a voice sounded, "Every time, you will eat noodles here on time. This is the first mistake. It's okay to eat noodles as a disguise, but you always choose this position. I don't know that the place where you think the best surveillance field is also the place that exposes you the most thoroughly. This is the second mistake. The third mistake is that although you dress very ordinary, you are not in a crooked manner, so you can't forget it after a glance. So people like you are not suitable to be a spy at all. These three mistakes show how you failed."

Yang Ze pointed at the table with his fingers, making a loud noise, "So no matter who is instructing him, no matter which force you are, I will remind you to put away such inequality surveillance methods! Otherwise, please bear the consequences."

After saying that, without waiting for the young man to react any more. Yang Ze felt that he had finished speaking, so he turned around and left.
