Hearts in tune

In the following days, the Prince Kang's Residence remained peaceful. In the entire Flame Capital, only a dozen or so busybodies wore masks of the Golden Boy or Jade Maiden Mask to try and stir up trouble. Some were quickly caught by the Martial Prohibition Bureau and given dozens of lashes, while others were discovered by chivalrous heroes and almost became targets of their chivalrous deeds.

With his day off approaching, Ding Songyan was planning to visit Commander Han Shun in his dreams when, while on duty at the side gate, he saw a military Director from the Martial Prohibition Bureau arrive.

"Is this Xiaoming Sect, the young hero of the Ding Songyan Sect?" the Director asked very politely.

It doesn't seem like something happened to me... Ding Songyan, without hiding his surprise, bowed and said:

"It is I."

Fan Chunlin and others also spontaneously began to verify Ding Songyan's identity.

"There's a letter for you; Junior Minister Zeng asked me to give it to you," said the Director the Martial Prohibition Bureau.

What is the relationship between Zeng Shaoqing of the Department of Martial Arts and me? Ding Songyan took it in confusion and immediately saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope:

To Junior Brother Ding

A letter from my Senior Sister? How did it get forwarded from the Martial Prohibition Bureau? Ding Songyan suppressed his doubts and solemnly thanked the Martial Prohibition Bureau Director delivered the letter.

He didn't rush to read it, but instead tucked the letter into his pocket.

As soon as Ding Songyan raised his head, he found Li Baima, Wu Mo, and Fan Chunlin staring at him with curiosity.

"Brother Ding, whose letter is this? If it's inconvenient to say, then you don't need to answer," Fan Chunlin asked.

"It's my Senior Sister's," Ding Songyan with a soft laugh.

Wu Mo and the others let out a long "Oh," but then decided not to investigate further.

Li Baima then asked:

"Your Senior Sister joined the Martial Prohibition Bureau?"

Otherwise, why would it be Junior Minister Zeng of the Martial Prohibition Bureau who handed it over?

"No," Ding Songyan casually guessed. "Perhaps Junior Minister Zeng and her father were old friends, and he brought the letter to Flame Capital when he passed through Changhua Prefecture."

Changhua... Fan Chunlin and the other two felt that this place sounded somewhat familiar.

After his shift ended, Ding Songyan did not return to the Side Courtyard, but went straight to Tiger Tail Alley.

"Changhua Prefecture... I remember now!" Li Baima said suddenly as he stepped into the Side Courtyard.

Seeing Wu Mo and Fan Chunlin looking at him, he lowered his voice and said:

"The Dowager Consort is from the Changhua Zheng Family."

The "Imperial Consort" refers to the mother of Prince Kang, the Former Emperor's Noble Consort Zheng.

"The Zheng Family of Changhua..." Wu Mo suddenly realized, "The Senior Sister sister Brother Ding mentioned is that Miss Zheng the Xiaoming Sect?"

Zheng Zhuxi would visit the Prince Kang's Residence's Mansion during festivals. Although Fan Chunlin and the others had never met him, they had heard of him.

"Is Father the one who Chancellor of the Menxia?" Fan Chunlin suddenly remembered.

He Huo Ran as soon as he finished speaking.

"What's wrong?" Li Baima asked, puzzled.

Fan Chunlin said with a complicated expression:

"I've heard other guards mention that Miss Zheng is also a great beauty, not much less so than the famous ' Rivers and Lakes Beauty Register '."

This Ding brother is not only highly skilled in Martial Arts and has an admirable style, but he also has such great luck with women?

His Senior Sister Zheng wrote him a letter, Twelfth Madam used him as a cover, Miss Zhang would ask about him, and "Unstained Green Lotus" Ji Hanyi had even met him before...

Wu Mo immediately felt envious.

Among them, As-Peerless Sect, there were few with decent looks, both men and women.

Cheap Wine Shop.

Twelfth Madam Luo was busy greeting guests, immediately turned sour when she saw Ding Songyan enter.

"What would you like to eat and drink?" the Manager asked, glancing sideways.

Ding Songyan said with a smile:

"I'll order later. I'd like to borrow your space, Twelfth Madam."

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with Zhuhuo as he carefully surveyed his surroundings, not even sparing the passing dogs.

"You 'Ghost Tricks something, what's this time?" Twelfth Madam Luo asked, both amused and annoyed.

She was fluent in Various Prefectural Dialects, Ghost Tricks" means "tricks and tricks".

"May I borrow the East Wing Room?" Ding Songyan, stopping short of asking directly.

Thinking of the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Mask hidden in the East Wing Room, Twelfth Madam Luo had an epiphany and sighed:

Go ahead, go ahead.

Ding Songyan was actually worried that Demoness Ji was spying on him, so he went to Twelfth Madam Luo, a reclusive master, to open the letter, and then hid the letter and the Facial Mask together.

After passing through the Rear Courtyard and entering the East Wing Room, Ding Songyan sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the Trunk, and began to read his Senior Sister's letter:

Junior Brother:

"Your two letters arrived one after another, which surprised and delighted me greatly."

"I wanted to reply that day, but for some reason, I found it difficult to put pen to paper. It wasn't that I had nothing to say, but I always felt that I was either writing too much or too little. I wrote a lot, and I also abandoned a lot."

"It wasn't until I heard that the man with the Golden Boy Mask had killed the ' Evil Through and Through ' Sun Feiyang that I snapped out of that strange state and wrote this letter in one go, or at least I wrote this part in one go."

"Although I was not strong enough to kill Sun Feiyang, I have little regret because ' Golden Boy ' did it for me. I am even happy about it."

"I haven't forgotten the words in my dream that day, and I think you haven't either, junior brother."

"If we travel the world together in the future, we should be able to leave behind many stories of chivalry and justice."

"I'm almost ready to figure out that problem. When I heard that ' Golden Boy ' killed ' the Evil Through and Through ' Sun Feiyang, I was happy for you. I also know what's on your mind and understand your hardships."

"Over the past year, I have often thought of you, and I dream of you from time to time, dreaming of the things we experienced in the past and the future scenes we once imagined."

Sometimes you say one thing and mean another, making me angry; other times you deliberately tease me, making me feel embarrassed and annoyed. But for some reason, you make me feel close to you. What I remember most are the things you did that made me happy, peaceful, joyful, and proud...

Junior brother, have you ever thought of me?

"It would be good if you could look into the Emperor Technique, but people's opinions are a fearsome thing. I believe you, but I'm afraid it will damage Twelfth Madam Luo's reputation and bring her trouble. She is a lone woman wandering outside, and there are many inconveniences. We should be more understanding."

"I asked my Father about Twelfth Madam Luo, but he had never heard of her."

"...

"I've written so much without realizing it. Just then, Junior Minister Zeng of the Martial Prohibition Bureau Arts Bureau happened to pass by Changhua Prefecture and came to visit my father. I plan to ask him to help me take this letter to Flame Capital, which will be much faster than going through Hongxin Trading Company."

"Even if my father doesn't get Reinstatement after the New Year, he should still make a trip to Flame Capital. I will definitely go with him, hoping to see you."

Zheng Zhuxi.

As he read, Ding Songyan smiled slightly.

He could tell that his Senior Sister's emotions were much stronger than usual in this letter, and she seemed hesitant to speak.

"Senior Sister was lucky to have asked Junior Minister Zeng to deliver this letter instead of going through Hongxin Trading Company. Otherwise, I was really afraid that Demoness Ji would see the letter before me, and then I wouldn't be able to see it..."

"We can't reply through Hongxin Trading Company either. Although Demoness Ji may not be that perverted, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

How should we send it to Changhua?

"Yes, secretly ask Xie Five for help, through the Xie Family and the Fang's Banks channels..."

Ding Songyan quickly came up with a plan.

Changhua Prefecture, Zheng Family.

"In recent days, quite a few 'golden boys and jade girls' have appeared in Yanjing, but they're all just busybodies who love to follow trends," Zheng Ziming said to his daughter with a smile, holding a letter in his hand. "However, there are also some very powerful ones among them. The jade girl who killed 'Purifying Altar Dragon King' Huo Minglou is one, and the male jade girl who attacked Hu Zhaohui of the Treading Sea Gang is another."

These messages, delivered along with the Gazette, took four or five days to travel from Flame Capital to Changhua. Only letters concerning important matters of the Zheng Family and the Xiaoming Sect were delivered quickly using methods such as Carrier Pigeon Message and Mechanical Flying Bird, ensuring Zheng Ziming was informed promptly.

Zheng Zhuxi, whose black hair was simply tied up, was stunned.

She wasn't surprised that some busybodies were following the trend of the "golden boy and jade girl" pairing, but what about the male jade girl? And what about the jade girl who could kill "Purifying Altar Dragon King" Huo Minglou?

She took the letters from her father and carefully read them:

So far, of all the Jade Maiden who followed the trend, only the person who attacked Hu Chaohui of the Treading the Sea Gang" was a man...

This... this kind of thing seems like something a junior brother would do...

The Martial Arts is also very similar to the "Book of Returning to Silence"...

Why did he wear Jade Maiden Mask to attack Hu Chaohui of the Treading the Sea Gang"?

Further ahead, there was only one follower, the Jade Maiden who killed "Pure Altar Dragon King" Huo Minglou...

My junior brother was afraid I'd misunderstand, so he deliberately used Male Jade Maiden" to tell me that the previous one wasn't a real Jade Maiden, but a fake one?

She has the ability to kill the "Pure Altar Dragon King," and also has a certain relationship with her junior brother. She's happy to wear the Jade Maiden Mask and pair up with the Golden Boy...

A name suddenly flashed through Zheng Zhuxi's mind:

"Ji Hanyi!"

Zheng Zhuxi's heart jumped into her throat, extremely worried about Ding Songyan.

She subconsciously wanted to tell her father, Zheng Ziming, about her suspicions and ask him to seek help from colleagues in Flame Capital, but then she changed her mind and abandoned the idea.

My junior brother's current situation is unknown, but he doesn't seem to be in immediate danger. If I rashly ask for help for him, it might harm him and even arouse suspicion from my Father and cousin... Junior brother, reply quickly! I need to see what your letter hints at so I can know how to help you. Hmm, I also need to gather all sorts of information about the Golden Boy to help assess the situation... Luckily, I asked Junior Minister Zeng to deliver the letter this time, otherwise it might have been intercepted by the demoness. Hongxin Trading Company has fixed dates for its transactions and can't guard against experts... Zheng Zhuxi's thoughts were in turmoil, and she thought of many things.

She quickly made a decision and looked at Zheng Ziming, saying:

"Father, I have a request for you, but it involves the secrets of the Xiaoming Sect, so I cannot go into too much detail, and please do not tell anyone."

"What is it?" Zheng Ziming, quite surprised.

Xi'er was perfectly fine just now, why is she suddenly bringing up the secrets of the Xiaoming Sect?

None of the news coming from Flame Capital mentioned Xiaoming Sect...

Seeing his daughter remain silent, Zheng Ziming couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't you know what kind of person your Father is, and what kind of practice the ' Book of Utmost Sincerity ' is?"

"Okay, I promise."

Zheng Zhuxi then said:

"This matter concerns my junior brother, Junior Brother Ding."

"He is walking the path of Martial Arts, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One, One Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Laws; he is constantly searching for various Martial Arts and integrating them into his own knowledge..."

Zheng Zhuxi briefly explained Ding Songyan's Martial Arts Philosophy, laying the groundwork for asking her Father to help her junior brother in a while.

Seeing Zheng Ziming's surprise and doubt, Zheng Zhuxi changed the subject and said:

He often felt guilty about his Mother's situation, regretting that he hadn't found a skill in Art of Numerology beforehand and hadn't noticed it in time.

"This time, he has entered Flame Capital and ventured into dangerous territory. I would like to ask Father, to allow him to read the ' Book of Utmost Sincerity,' so that he will not be involved in any methods of Opening Orifices Organ Dressing organs."

Zheng Ziming's expression calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"He was the one who killed Sun Feiyang?"
