Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 385: Master Miaoyu is as cold as a fairy! How to change a person's fate!
Miaoyu looked at the old nun in front of her blankly.

The master in front of him has really changed a lot compared to before.

Moreover, her own destiny was already bumpy. Even though her master was an extremely skilled in divine divination and had calculated her future prospects for her countless times, he usually got nothing in the end.

Miaoyu originally thought that today she would still only get a few vague words about going north to seek shelter from the noble.

But who could have thought that today, when the master was deducing the innate divine numbers, he actually vomited a large mouthful of blood as if he had suffered the backlash of some terrifying and powerful force.

Just when Miaoyu was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

The old nun seemed to have suddenly realized something, and her tone was relieved. She said, "I don't have much time left. When I pass away, you must not move rashly. Just stay here quietly. You will have your fate soon. Other nuns will handle my affairs. Remember! Remember, Amitabha!"

With her hands clasped together, the old nun chanted a Buddhist name, her face showed a compassionate look, and then she suddenly nodded, and there was no movement afterwards.

Miaoyu's mind buzzed.

With a trembling voice, he said, "Master...Master?"

The old nun didn't make any movement.

With an ominous premonition in her heart, Miaoyu stretched out a slender finger and gently placed it on the old nun's wrist.

The next moment, Miaoyu's sad cry was heard from the nunnery.

"master."

Not long after, this city on the outskirts of Suzhou city held a funeral ceremony openly.

........................

After receiving Lin Ruhai's order, Jia Yucun arrived outside the city of Suzhou under the escort of a team of 100 people.

Along the way, Jia Yucun was attacked many times.

Although Luofu occupied Jinling and launched a large-scale attack on cities, the major cities were certainly unable to withstand Luofu's military force, and many cities were even conquered based on orders.

But when the country is overthrown, how can there not be even a few loyal people?
The loyal ministers of Daqing, who were unable to fight against the invincible Luotian Army under Luofu, could only resort to means such as terrorist attacks, assassinations and sneak attacks on Luofu's subordinates.

In addition, those small groups of troops that were broken up simply occupied the mountains and became kings, which also plunged the social environment in the Jiangnan region into chaos.

For an official like Jia Yucun, who was highly respected in Luofu, he would naturally have to be escorted by soldiers when he traveled to other places.

As soon as he arrived outside the city of Suzhou, Jia Yucun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how many assassinations and ambushes he encountered along the way. Whether these attacks were due to the large number of bandits in the Jiangnan region or were specifically targeted at him, Jia Yucun had no way of knowing.

Because anyone who dared to attack him on his way to Suzhou would almost certainly die at the hands of the hundred-man team around him.

The strength of these people really made Jia Yucun dumbfounded.

Often, a dozen people are able to chase thousands of enemies and make them flee madly, and just a dozen people can wipe out an army of a thousand people.

Even Jia Yucun had never heard of such a powerful team.

Now that he has finally arrived in Suzhou City, Jia Yucun is becoming more and more anxious to complete his mission so that he can rise to the top and become Luofu's confidant overnight.

You have to know that this team was just assigned to him by Lin Ruhai at random.

Just when Jia Yucun was about to head straight for Suzhou City,
There was a noise coming from far away. When Jia Yucun heard the sound of music, his heart suddenly tightened.

Along the way, what he encountered were not only open assassinations, but also various disguises that were simply breathtaking.

The ceremonies of getting married, holding funerals, etc. are truly eye-opening.

Now I have just arrived outside Suzhou city, and what a coincidence, I have encountered another unexpected incident in handling a funeral.

Jia Yucun subconsciously suspected that someone was trying to assassinate him again.

The reason why Jia Yucun is so hated is that, on the one hand, he gradually appeared in Luofu's sight and was gradually valued by Luofu, and on the other hand, what Jia Yucun did was too hateful.

Almost 80% of the vested interests in Daqing lost everything because of Jia Yucun's targeting.

Among them are local gentry as well as various powerful people who are the foundation of Daqing.

While Jia Yucun was being valued in Luofu, he naturally became an almost open target.

Several soldiers vigilantly headed towards the direction where the sounds of music came from.

But after a while, when several soldiers returned again, they brought good news to Jia Yucun.

This funeral was real and not a disguised attempt to assassinate Jia Yucun.

After learning the news, Jia Yucun breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw that the sky was gradually getting darker. If he entered the city at this time, he might be targeted and ambushed again. Even with the protection of these incredibly powerful soldiers, he was still a little worried.

So, Jia Yucun suggested that they go to the family who was handling the funeral first, give them a gift and ask for a place to stay for one night.

However, when he, under the guidance of the soldiers, arrived at the place where the zombies were being dealt with, Jia Yucun was stunned.

In fact, when he heard the sounds of music and drums, he thought it was the people living near the city of Suzhou. But when he really came over, he found that the funeral was actually being held in a nunnery for an old nun.

It is no wonder that Jia Yucun was a little surprised. After all, nuns are still Buddhists. Their funeral rites are naturally different from those of ordinary people. Buddhists have always taken a light view on life and death.

But now there comes the issue of arranging funeral for an old nun.

If a soldier had not personally gone there to confirm that the funeral was real and that someone was not using it as an excuse to target him again, he would have doubted whether this old nun was a monk or not.

After discussing it in the nunnery and presenting a gift, Jia Yucun was not held captive by the nunnery, but was personally introduced to a family next door by a nun.

After resting for a night in a farmhouse next to the nunnery, early the next morning, Jia Yucun and others were preparing to go to Suzhou City.

Jia Yucun glanced in the direction of the nunnery inadvertently, and the next moment, he suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Outside the nunnery, there were two young girls. At a quick glance, Jia Yucun thought that the girl with a Miaochang bun on her head and wearing a moon-white jacket with plain sleeves, had black hair as black as ink, and was in no way less beautiful than the eldest daughter of the Xue family.

If the eldest daughter of the Xue family is the epitome of fair skin and smooth bones, then this young girl with a bun is the epitome of a cool and fairy-like girl.

Even the girl next to this young lady is a pretty girl.

I didn't expect that there would be such a beauty in the wilderness.

Although Jia Yucun is not a good person, he does not feel any psychological burden at all about being ungrateful.

But perhaps because he had been dismissed from his post and investigated, Jia Yucun cared more about power than women.

At this moment, the reason why he was suddenly attracted by these two girls when he was about to go to Suzhou City was entirely because, at the moment when he was amazed by these two girls, a whimsical idea suddenly popped up in Jia Yucun's mind.

Before, he was not clear about the conflict between the head of state and the four major families, and as a result, he almost formed an alliance with the Xue family.

Although he later helped the eldest daughter of the Xue family to get her to the palace, the previous events might become a grudge in Luofu's heart.

Since the head of state is full of vigor and vitality, can I use such a beautiful girl and send her to the palace to restore my position in the head of state's heart?
With this thought in mind, Jia Yucun suddenly gave up his plan to go to Suzhou immediately and instead went to the farmer's house where he had stayed last night.

"Brother Xing." Jia Yucun clasped his fists and saluted, then got straight to the point: "May I ask where those two girls are from?"

Following Jia Yucun's instructions, when the old farmer saw the person Jia Yucun was asking about, his face suddenly turned ugly. He said, "You are about the same age as me. Could it be that you would have some inappropriate thoughts about a girl like this?"

Jia Yucun was embarrassed for a moment and quickly explained that he had no such intention.

However, when he saw the old farmer's face full of vigilance and suspicion, Jia Yucun had no choice but to tell the old man vaguely that he was going to introduce these two girls as a noble person.

The old man, who had been planning to drive Jia Yucun away, was stunned when he heard the title of nobleman.

He had already witnessed Jia Yucun's power last night. He was accompanied by nearly a hundred guards.

What kind of person is it that even such a big shot is called a noble?

With a thought in mind, the old man said, "Brother Shi Fei, you also stayed at my house for a night. Can you tell me how valuable the noble person you mentioned is?"

Seeing Old Man Xing's persistent questioning, Jia Yucun frowned in dissatisfaction, then stretched out a finger, pointed to the sky, and said, "It's indescribably precious! Now, Brother Xing, can you tell me what the identities of these two girls are?"

Looking at the sky in the direction Jia Yucun pointed out, Old Man Xing suddenly had an idea. He seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "Could it be... Could it be that Luo Tian Emperor?"

Although Old Man Xing lived near Suzhou, he happened to see Suzhou surrender without a fight and change its flag. Only then did he realize that Jiangnan had changed.

Daqing no longer has the final say in Jiangnan, as the one above him now is Emperor Luotian.

Jia Yucun looked at Old Man Xing with a little surprise. He didn't expect that even this country bumpkin knew about the existence of the head of state.

Jia Yucun did not respond directly. After all, this kind of thing cannot be made public.

Even if it is done, it must be done quietly. Otherwise, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the head of state?

I had handled the Xue family's affairs badly before, and perhaps even my impression in the head of state had been greatly reduced. How could I leave a reputation of being dissolute for the head of state in this countryside?

"Brother Xing, don't ask too many questions. Just tell me where these two girls are from." As he spoke, Jia Yucun casually took out an ingot of official silver from his bag.

Old Man Xing could tell at a glance that this was an ingot of official silver weighing five taels.

Old Man Xing once again had a higher opinion of Jia Yucun, as he was willing to take out five taels of official silver just to inquire about the news of the two girls.

He calmly put the official silver into his sleeve.

Old Man Xing then said cunningly, "Of these two, one is my daughter, and the other is Master Miaoyu who is practicing in the nunnery with her hair uncut." Now Jia Yucun knew why Old Man Xing thought he had ill intentions when he asked about the identities of the two girls just now. It turned out that the pretty girl was actually Old Man Xing's daughter.

In that case, Old Man Xing can be considered a party involved.

Jia Yucun then took the opportunity to talk and took Old Man Xing aside, whispering something to him.

Old Man Xing's eyes widened instantly, his eyes full of surprise, and he patted his chest to make a promise.

After a few words of communication.

Old Man Xing ran straight towards Miaoyu and her daughter.

"Xiuyan, Master Miaoyu." The old man came to the two women with an excited look on his face and said, "I want to congratulate Master Miaoyu first. You will be able to enjoy happiness with my daughter soon."

Miaoyu seemed to be very disgusted with this old man Xing. She frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Xing, my master just passed away. How can I enjoy happiness?"

"I'm just not good at talking." Old Man Xing shamelessly bent down slightly, as if he was bowing and saying, "The master has passed away and has gone to the Western Paradise to serve the Buddha. But if you stay in the human world, of course you want to live a good life."

"Dad, what do you want to say?" The girl next to Miaoyu looked at her father angrily.

That's right.

This young girl was none other than Old Man Xing’s daughter, Xing Xiuyan, who was listed in the second volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

Old Man Xing is the cousin of Jia She's wife, Lady Xing, named Xing Zhong.

Unfortunately, although Old Man Xing's cousin was the concubine of the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion, they were quite poor. Even the room where they let Jia Yucun stay was actually rented from a temple.

"You two are going to enter the palace to become queens." Xing Zhong said with a grin, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Dad, what are you talking about!?" Xing Xiuyan was suddenly startled.

As a queen in the palace, can you say such things casually?
Compared to Xing Xiuyan, he was simply afraid of the majesty and cruelty of feudal imperial power.

Miaoyu, however, showed a look of horror in an instant because of Xing Zhong's words.

Just before the master passed away, he used the innate numerology to predict his future and told him to stay in the nunnery and live in peace, hoping there would be results soon.

But things happened so quickly.

You know, even the master’s funeral hasn’t ended yet.

Miaoyu knew Xing Zhong's character, but she didn't believe that this guy had the guts to joke about entering the palace and becoming a queen.

"Who said that?" Xing Zhong said proudly, "This is your chance! Lord Jia went to Suzhou on official business under the order of the new emperor. He happened to stay at our house last night. Lord Jia arrived at dusk and didn't see you two. But just when Lord Jia was about to leave for Suzhou, he noticed you two. The new emperor has few concubines. This is your chance."

Ever since he learned from Jia Yucun the reason why Xing Zhong was inquiring about Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun, Xing Zhong really wanted to send his daughter to the harem of the emperor of the new dynasty right away.

As for Miaoyu, it was just a matter of catching rabbits while picking grass.

After all, Xing Xiuyan is his noble daughter. If she really enters the palace and wins the favor of the emperor of the new dynasty, then for the rest of their lives, the couple can enjoy honor because of their daughter. They can go from a poor family to become relatives of the new dynasty.

Compared to Xing Zhong's delusion, Miaoyu's eyes instantly showed a look of horror when she heard his words.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at the coffin of the old nun that had not yet been buried.

In Miaoyu's heart, her master would be retaliated and die when she predicted another way for him to survive.

And the last divination was to let himself stay in this nunnery.

Now it seems that everything has come true so quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Miaoyu asked, "Uncle Xing, is this Lord Jia really here on orders from the Emperor of the New Dynasty?"

"Is this true?" Xing Zhong swore, "Didn't you see the guards around Lord Jia? They all fought their way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses."

After making a gesture of beheading, Xing Zhong said, "This is a good opportunity for both of you, Master Miaoyu. I know you are aloof, but the emperor of the new dynasty is a man of his word. Since he values ​​you, you can't refuse. It's better not to be stubborn!"

In fact, if possible, Xing Zhong would rather Miaoyu not be favored.

Although he didn't want to admit it, between Miaoyu and his daughter, Miaoyu was much better than his daughter, both in terms of appearance and other aspects.

Xing Xiuyun was indeed beautiful, but at best she was a pretty girl from a small family. Miaoyu, on the other hand, was as cool and pure as an angel, and was indeed more attractive than his own daughter.

But no matter what, the ones chosen now are his daughter and Miaoyu.

Xing Zhong had no room to comment on this. If he wanted his daughter to live a good life, he could only try his best to get Miaoyu to agree.

Seeing Miaoyu's complicated expression, Xing Zhong thought that Miaoyu didn't want to agree.

But just when he was thinking about what excuse to use to persuade Miaoyu.

The next moment, what Miaoyu said made Xing Zhong stunned in place.

"Can Xiuyan and I follow Lord Jia to the capital after Master's burial?"

Although Luofu has not yet officially established a kingdom.

But from the moment Luofu captured Jinling and conquered cities in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone understood that the new dynasty to be established by Luofu would inevitably make Jinling its capital.

Therefore, for those who are now under the rule of the new dynasty, the capital they enter is naturally no longer the northern capital, but Nanjing.

Xing Zhong was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise: "Miao... Master Miaoyu, are you agreeing?"

Miaoyu nodded calmly and said, "Xiuyan can't escape this, right? This is the fate of us. I just hope that the emperor of the new dynasty is not a cruel monarch."

"Don't worry." Xing Zhong didn't care whether the emperor was cruel or not. After all, in his opinion, being able to become a relative of the new dynasty meant endless wealth and glory.

Xing Zhong was already getting impatient at this moment.

"Then Xiuyan, remember to help Master Miaoyu bury the teacher as soon as possible. I will go and talk to Master Jia now."

Seeing Xing Zhong hurried away, Xing Xiuyan looked at Miaoyu in surprise and said, "Master Miaoyu, why are you..."

The reason why Xing Xiuyun called Miaoyu "Master" was not just because Miaoyu practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut. You have to know that although Xing Zhong was the cousin of Lady Xing, the concubine of Jia She, the heir to the eldest house of Rongguo Mansion, the Xing family had already fallen into decline.

Even Xing Zhong and others rented a house in a nunnery for their residence.

Miaoyu can almost be regarded as Xing Xiuyan's real master. Xing Xiuyan learned to read and write from Miaoyu.

"This is my fate." Miaoyu sighed quietly, her tone filled with confusion about the future, and said, "The reason why the master passed away was actually because he used the innate numerology to predict my future, but the result was a backlash. But before the master passed away, he once told me to stay in the nunnery. Someone will come to find me soon. That will be my only chance to change my fate!"

Now Xing Xiuyan understood.

As someone who almost grew up with Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyun certainly knew that Miaoyu was born into a noble family and, logically, should have been a lady from a wealthy family. However, she was sent to a nunnery at a young age. It was really because of her rough fate.

He had no choice but to become a monk in order to resolve the problem.

In this world dominated by incense and Shintoism, such things are actually not uncommon.

For example, Jia Baoyu, the darling of Rongguo Mansion, would recognize someone like Ma Dao Po as his godmother. In some remote areas, in order to avoid the death of a child, people would even recognize all kinds of strange things as godparents.

A big tree, a stone, or even a mountain, a lake, or a river is regarded as one's godfather or godmother.

What's worse, some people simply recognize the land god around the village as their godfather and the land goddess as their godmother.

Miaoyu's situation is special. Such means can't change her destiny at all. She has to seek help from an old nun in the nunnery who is very good at divination.

Of course Xing Xiuyan knew that Miaoyu's fate had not changed.

Otherwise, with her overall demeanor, she would have returned to secular life and become a lady from a wealthy family long ago.

Now, in order to change the fate, it is reasonable for Xing Xiuyan to fulfill the previous request of Lord Jia to become the harem of the emperor of the Xin Dynasty.

After all, is there anything that could change a person's fate more than being associated with the emperor of the world?
You know, the emperor on earth can enthrone gods.

Even the gods in heaven and on earth need to be canonized by the emperor. Entering the harem to serve the emperor will certainly change one's destiny.

After Xing Xiuyan understood Miaoyu's thoughts, Miaoyu sighed and said to her: "Xiuyan, I need to tell you in advance that the imperial palace has always been a dangerous place. That Lord Jia once stayed at your house for a night. If it is possible, entering the harem is definitely not a good thing."

Xing Xiuyan smiled bitterly and said, "Master Miaoyu, do you think I have any choice?"

Miaoyu was startled at first, but then she sneered when she thought of Xing Zhong's impatience. She looked at Xing Xiuyan with a bit more pity and said, "It seems that you and I will have to go to Beijing together soon, and support each other in the palace of the new emperor in the future."

As for entering the palace to serve the new emperor, neither Miaoyu nor Xing Xiuyan had the opportunity to choose.

As for Jia Yucun, after receiving a positive answer from Xing Zhong, he left behind several powerful soldiers to serve as guards for Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun, in order to prevent any accidents from happening during the time when he was solving the problems in Suzhou City.

Then Jia Yucun hurried to Suzhou.

With Jia Yucun's ruthlessness, he solved the Suzhou problem in just ten days.

Of course, what Jia Yucun really solved was not the problem, but the people who caused these problems.

In just a few days, countless wealthy families in Suzhou City suffered from Jia Yucun's harm.

Under the absolute violent suppression, within a short period of time, there was no voice of resistance in Suzhou City.

After solving the problem in Suzhou, Jia Yucun couldn't wait to return to the nunnery on the edge of the city and personally escort Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun's family to Jinling.

That’s right, for Xing Zhong, how could he miss this good opportunity to enjoy life in Beijing?
