Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

In this era, the women of the Jiaofangsi (a type of government-run entertainment institution) were a highly educated and cultured group among women.

He was proficient in all the arts, including playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and prose.

Yang Yingying briefly recounted her past with Zhou Min, frankly stating that she was a kept woman outside the marriage, and that Zhou Min would only meet with her once every so often.

"Some time ago, Lord Zhou suddenly came to me and gave me something. He said that he might be in danger soon and that if something bad happened to him, I should hide immediately and find a way to leave Yunzhou and give this thing to Lord Yang, the governor of Qingzhou."

"Not long after, I received news of Lord Zhou's passing..."

Yang Yingying's tears fell in a steady stream, and she sobbed uncontrollably!

"The woman was both sad and frightened, and dared not stay any longer, so she hid at the house of a sister and asked her to find out information."

"After hiding for a while, that woman told me that Master Zhao's caravan was going to Qingzhou soon, so I borrowed twenty taels of silver from her, bought a horse, and left Yunzhou with the caravan..."

The rest is history.

As Yang Ying 3.0 was speaking, everyone was observing her expression.

At least for now, no abnormalities have been found, and there is no indication of any forgery.

Zhou Min never revealed his identity as a night watchman's undercover agent until his death, even though the other party was a trusted friend of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya.

This shows that Zhou Min is a competent spy.

As for why Yang Yingying was sent to Qingzhou to find the Hermit of Ziyang, instead of other neighboring states, the reason is quite simple.

Yang Gong was a graduate of Yunlu Academy, and thus not aligned with the officials of the court. Although the great scholars of Yunlu Academy were witty and humorous, their character was still trustworthy.

Governor Zhang frowned. "You suspect that Zhou Min was murdered?"

Yang Yingying nodded vigorously: "Isn't it obvious? Please, Your Excellency, do justice for my husband."

"Alright, I agree. Take out what Zhou Jingli left you at the end."

Yang Yingying immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Yang Yingying straightened up, reached into her bosom, took out half a jade pendant, and presented it with both hands: "This is what Lord Zhou gave to me that night."

All eyes were on the jade pendant.

It was a semi-circular jade pendant, translucent green in color. It was supposed to be a round piece of jade, but it was cut in half by a sharp tool.

Su Nan took it and stroked the jade pendant.

However, it was unclear what was going on at the moment.

As an experienced undercover agent, Zhou Min would certainly not leave behind any obvious clues.

"Let's head to Yunzhou first."

Governor Zhang then instructed his soldiers: "Continue onward to Yunzhou."

The group carried the surviving merchants and their goods, and the caravan continued its journey, heading towards Yunzhou along the official road.

Chapter 80: The Women Read the Letter, the Origin of Baidi City

Dafeng, Kyoto.

The sun was shining brightly, and the air was warm and inviting.

Huaiqing practiced swordsmanship in the elegant garden, his body covered in fragrant sweat, his skin flushed slightly.

It's hard to imagine that a pampered princess like her would pursue a martial arts path.

After finishing his sword practice, Huaiqing sat down in the pavilion, waiting for the palace maids to prepare hot water while he opened a letter from the Qingzhou post station.

This letter came from southern Jiangsu and was just delivered.

It's truly remarkable that Su Nan, who traveled all the way to Yunzhou to investigate the case, still remembered to write a letter to himself.

Huaiqing smiled as he opened the envelope and poured out the letter.

Along with it, a petal emitting a faint fragrance also fell out.

Huaiqing picked up a flower petal, held it to his nose, and smelled it.

"Qingzhou Cold Lotus".

"..."

Huaiqing is well-informed and naturally recognizes which flower petals these are.

She then unfolded the letter and began to read it slowly.

When Huaiqing read about the case that occurred at the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office, his expression turned somewhat grim.

This case is by no means accidental; there must be many more thefts occurring within the Grand Canal Administration.

Huaiqing thought for a long time... and finally could only sigh helplessly.

These are not things that a princess like her can manage.

Upon reading the end of the letter, Huaiqing's eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, washed by clear ripples yet not becoming seductive..."

Huaiqing smiled knowingly.

This article is very well written.

Huaiqing was in high spirits and carefully put away the letter and flower petals.

She suddenly thought of something.

I wonder if Lin'an has received any letters from southern Jiangsu.

Most likely they are.

Huaiqing's mood suddenly soured.

……

Shaoyin Palace.

Lin'an and Gangzi were playing Gomoku, and the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Just when Biao Biao thought she was about to win, Gang Zi noticed in advance and cut off the dragon.

Fortunately, Biao Biao made a brilliant move and won the game.

"Hahaha, I've won!"

Biao Biao jumped up happily, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Life has never been so wonderful.

So playing chess is actually this simple! Maybe I'm a natural-born master!

"Your Highness, a letter has arrived."

Just as Biao Biao was celebrating her victory, a palace maid of the 15th rank walked over with an envelope.

"letter?"

"What letter?"

The framed frame looked puzzled.

The palace maid said, "It's a letter from Su Zhexian from Qingzhou."

Upon hearing this, Biao Biao's eyes lit up immediately.

A letter from Mr. Su!

"Quickly, give it to me!"

Biao Biao eagerly took the letter from the palace maid, immediately opened it, and poured out its contents.

The petals of the red lotus fell out along with the letter.

Biao Biao sat in the chair, holding the letter, and read it silently.

She quickly became completely absorbed in the letter.

Because the letter contained many short stories, Biao Biao couldn't take her eyes off it.

As she looked, Biao Biao's expression changed; sometimes she closed her eyes, and sometimes she looked down.

The main problem is that the short stories written by Su Nan are terrifying.

Biao Biao wanted to continue reading, but she was also a little scared.

"Gangzi!"

"You lot, stand beside me!"

Biao Biao mustered her courage and called over a few people to bolster her spirits.

……

While Huaiqing and Lin'an received their letters, the other women also received letters from Su Nan.

Inside Prince Yu's Mansion.

The monarch of Pingyang basked in the warm sun, holding a letter in his hands, his face full of a happy smile.

No matter where Brother Su goes, he will never forget her.

Pingyang often feels lucky to have met someone from southern Jiangsu.

She should have been betrothed by her father long ago, but the appearance of Brother Su made her father change his mind.

"I wonder when I'll be able to travel across the land with Brother Su..."

Pingyang gazed at the warm sun in the sky and murmured softly.

Star Observation Tower.

Chu Caiwei drooled as she read the letter.

There were so many delicious foods on the way to Yunzhou!

Chu Caiwei was on the verge of tears, feeling that she had given too much.

"Senior Sister Caiwei, the letter is all wet with your saliva."
