Chapter 0095 The mystery in the letter
At this time, Di Yan thought for a while and said, "If Brother Li must investigate this matter, I think I can start with my master. After all, it was my master who asked me to go to Chang'an to help, and she must know who the person behind the scenes is."
Li Zhen was excited, and in fact he thought of Aunt Gongsun. Di Yan said that it was Aunt Gongsun to repay a favor. In fact, Aunt Gongsun was the shortcut, but Li Zhen also knew that Aunt Gongsun could never tell them who this mysterious person was?
"But your master is willing to tell you?" Li Zhen asked hesitantly.
Di Yan shook her head, "Of course my master won't say it, but I know she received a letter at that time. She just looked at the letter and told me about going to Chang'an. As long as we can find this letter, we may know who this person is?"
"Is the letter still possible?"
"That's because you don't know my master. She attaches great importance to old friends' love. She never throws away old friends' belongings. We all know that she has a room dedicated to storing old friends. It's in her bedroom. I went in a few years ago. There were a large box filled with various letters, which were as many as thousands. That letter must be in it."
"Can you find that letter from thousands of letters?" Li Zhen asked a little disbelief.
Di Yan smiled, her bright eyes flashed with confidence, "As long as I give me a quarter of an hour, I will definitely find that letter."
Li Zhen walked a few steps behind his hands. He had a plan in his mind and said with a smile: "My sister Qiu Niang still needs to ask for help in this matter."
A word reminded Di Yan that she forgot to ask Li Zhen about Zhao Qiuniang last time, "I forgot to ask you, how could you know my senior sister?"
"This matter is a long story, let's talk as we go."
...........
In the Nanyuan Martial Arts Hall, hundreds of disciples held wooden swords in their forehands and fought each other. The wide martial arts hall was filled with shouts and fighting.
Li Zhen was not interested in the training of warriors around him. He was all in the letter. He told Zhao Qiuniang what he had entrusted, but Zhao Qiuniang did not reply, which made him secretly anxious.
He couldn't help but say, "Sister Qiu Niang, just help me!"
Zhao Qiuniang wore a white warrior uniform, her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, no makeup on her face, a short-clad top, and a large bloomer legs under her, making her look more delicate and concise.
Although Zhao Qiuniang did not use any makeup on her face, her charming eyes were still fascinating. She glanced at Li Zhen and her junior sister Di Yan beside her, and secretly inferred the relationship between them in her heart.
Although it is normal for men and women in the Tang Dynasty to interact, it is very common for a young couple to have sex in public, which does not mean that they have any special relationship.
However, with Zhao Qiuniang's delicateness and sensitivity, she could still capture the faint feeling of the two of them. Both of them had a good impression of each other, but they didn't say it out loud.
If it were someone else, Zhao Qiuniang would definitely make jokes about them unscrupulously, but Zhao Qiuniang knew that Li Zhen’s eldest sister Li Quan didn’t like Di Yan very much, so she should not be troubled by herself, which annoyed Li Quan.
Zhao Qiuniang pretended not to know anything, glanced at Li Zhen with a charming look and said, "Why do you only ask Qiuniang for it, but you never say how you plan to repay Qiuniang? How can you ask Qiuniang to help you?"
Li Zhen scratched his head. He had indeed promised Zhao Qiuniang many things, but he did not do anything. For example, he taught her disciples to ride and shoot, but he had said it for a long time but never implemented it, which really made Li Zhen a little embarrassed.
"Sister Qiu Niang, please help me again this time! I will definitely help you next time."
"It's next time again, you always ask Qiu Niang to do a loss-making business. How can this be done? Why not do this? You should practice swords with my disciple now. How about your affairs, I will discuss with my junior sister?"
Without waiting for Li Zhen to answer, Di Yan smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't let senior sister make things difficult for you, just agree!"
"You little girl, what does it mean to make me embarrassed? Will I make things difficult for you? This is a matter of his sincerity."
Although he spoke to Di Yan, Zhao Qiuniang's charming eyes were always with Li Zhen.
Li Zhen had no choice but to agree, "Okay! I will give my life to practice swords with Sister Qiuniang's disciples."
Zhao Qiuniang gave him a blank look, "What does it mean to sacrifice your life? Will my disciple eat you?"
She waved to dozens of female disciples in the west and said, "Girls, Master has found you a sword-making opponent. You don't have to be polite, just take out your skills and greet him."
A large group of young female disciples rushed up and surrounded Li Zhen. Yingying and Yanyan laughed in a roar. Di Yan glanced at Li Zhen who was helpless, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny. She followed Zhao Qiuniang and quickly walked into the inner room.
The two sat down in the room. Zhao Qiuniang poured Di Yan a cup of tea that had just been fried and said with a smile: "I asked him to teach the female disciple, the junior sister won't feel uncomfortable, right?"
Di Yan blushed and muttered in a low voice: "What are you feeling uncomfortable about me? Who is he teaching? What does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Qiuniang smiled and said, "Since it's not your business, I'll be planning to hire him as a long-term coach, who specializes in teaching my female disciples. Alas! The male coach teaches female disciples, and the female coach teaches male disciples. I find it more energetic. This is a good idea."
"Senior Sister, let's not talk about this matter!" Di Yan was young and had a thin face, and she looked embarrassed and angry in her eyes.
Zhao Qiuniang was just joking with Di Yan. Seeing that her face was almost overwhelmed, Zhao Qiuniang smiled and said, "I'm just talking about it. I can't afford to hire someone like him. I won't talk about it anymore. Tell me the important thing. How can I help me?"
Di Yan cheered up and said a few words to Zhao Qiuniang in a low voice. Zhao Qiuniang pointed at her and smiled, "If Master finds out later, he will have to beat me to death. You said, I will help you so much, how can I compensate me?"
Di Yan said angrily: "This is his business, you go find him! I am also helping him."
"Okay, let that brat compensate!"
.........
Although Aunt Gongsun accepted hundreds of female disciples, she was actually regarded as a disciple, but there were only five people, and Zhao Qiuniang was one of them.
Di Yan was favored by her only because of her talent and excellent skill in light body skills. However, because of Di Yan's father, Aunt Gongsun did not regard Di Yan as her disciple.
In the afternoon, Zhao Qiuniang found her master, Aunt Gongsun. She would have five disciples to go to the master tomorrow and beg her to attend the ceremony.
The ceremony of the military is always a major event for learning martial artists, especially Zhao Qiuniang's apprentice is the apprentice of Gongsun. Gongsun wants to give this face, but she cannot stay for a long time, just to reveal it, and it will not be long.
During this period, she has been devoted to refining new snow frost pills. This new snow frost pill can restrain the diluted golden poison. She has no energy to go out at all. She only agreed to go to her martial arts hall because Zhao Qiuniang begged her.
The next morning, when Aunt Gongsun had just left her residence, Di Yan appeared in the master's dormitory, and asked the master's personal maid with a smile, "Min'er, where is the master?"
.........
Half an hour later, Di Yan returned to the wine shop and handed the letter to Li Zhen, "It's this letter!"
Li Zhen was overjoyed and quickly wanted to take the letter, but Di Yan shrunk the letter and smiled with her lips pursed, "I risked my life to help you get the letter. How should you thank me?"
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Qiu Niang has already said what you said first."
"oh--"
Di Yan responded a long time and looked at him with a smile, "What are the conditions you promised to senior sister? Teach her female disciples to practice swords?"
"This...is not. The key is that it is unrealistic. I will participate in the martial arts next year and help Brother Sun find out the case and ask him to give an explanation to the above. I don't have time to teach her disciples to practice swords. I just promised to teach her disciples to ride and shoot. A few days will be enough."
Di Yan smiled at her eyebrows and handed the letter to him, "Since you are so busy, I won't want your thanks for the time being. Now you can read the letter!"
Li Zhen took the letter and opened it and looked carefully. He saw that only one poem was written in the letter.
The dust of the past is gradually fading away,
The villa is in the dark at dusk.
The geese in Luoyang came late,
Please report the clear romance.
The writing is very vigorous and written like flowing water. The signature below the letter is "Men Under the Moon". Li Zhen was a little stunned. He looked through the letter back and forth, and there was no word except a peony flower on the letter's skin.
Di Yan also looked up curiously, frowned and said, "What kind of letter is this? It has no head or tail, but I heard from the Aluo Gu who wants to kill me, and it seems that it is their leader."
Li Zhen read the poem several times, and he probably understood a little, "The past is gradually fading away", which refers to the old things that many years ago, and implies the favors that Mrs. Gongsun owe back then.
‘The Yuexia Villa is at dusk and dawn’ means to indicate the place and tell Gongsun where to send someone to? Yuexia Villa is a place name in Chang'an.
"The geese in Luoyang Palace are flying late" is the identity of the writer. Could it be that the letter was sent from the palace? However, the letter is vigorous and not like a woman's writing, which makes Li Zhen a little confused.
At this time, Di Yan pointed to the last line of poem and said, "Brother Li, this Luo Palace should not refer to Luoyang Imperial Palace, but to Shangqing Palace in Beimeng, so it is called Shangqing Yao."
Li Zhen woke up and said that if it refers to Shangqing Palace, it would make sense. Isn’t Di Yan’s master aunt the old Taoist nun?
In addition, Di Yan once told herself that her master Ziyi Zhenren is also a Taoist nun, and Aunt Gongsun has a deep connection with Taoism.
The Shangqing Palace in Beimeng is the most famous place for Taoist priests to practice in Luoyang and is also a royal Taoist temple. This letter may indeed be written by Taoist priests, but Taoist priests will not covet any relics. There must be a real master behind this.
Although Li Zhen said this, he felt that the letter seemed to have other profound meanings, but the clues in the poem had already come out. Yuexia Villa and Yuexia People, Li Zhen could infer that the villa that Di Yan went to for the first time was Yuexia Villa.
"Brother Li, are we going to Chang'an?" Di Yan asked in a low voice.
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "It seems that we are going to Chang'an again."
