Chapter 278 I don’t think I heard that Senior Brother 9 proposed to get married…
After all, Yong'an Hou was a member of the imperial court. He quickly came to his senses, clasped his fists again and said, "Master Si."
Although the Qinglong Guard is the most mysterious government office in the imperial court, up to now, none of their civil and military officials can reveal more information about the Qinglong Guard. Even after learning that his daughter is the leader of the Qinglong Guard, many people came to him to inquire, but he could not explain it.
But they all knew that the Qinglong Guard was a powerful government office that was personally controlled by the emperor and was one level higher than the officials.
Once upon a time, many people wanted to make friends with him because his daughter was the leader, but he did not dare to hold his daughter back and was cautious in his words and actions.
Now, the real leader of the Azure Dragon Guard is this Ninth Senior Brother Taoist Priest, whose surname after returning to the secular world is Si, so...
The most appropriate and correct title is: Lord Si!
Yun Xuanmo smiled, clasped his fists and bowed, acknowledging the title.
They, the Qinglong Guard, seldom deal with court officials. Their main duty is to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits. They see the official one level higher in order to make things easier for them, as it is more useful than the Shangfang Sword.
What’s more, the leader of the Azure Dragon Guard holds the Emperor’s sword!
They do not need to introduce their identities to any officials, and any officials must cooperate with them unconditionally.
Therefore, others could not get any information about Qinglong Guard, and did not know where the Qinglong Guard's office was. They only knew that the leader of Qinglong Guard was Longtou.
Therefore, when the name of Yuntang, the leader, spread, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion looked at him with admiration, and some powerful people wanted to make friends with Marquis Yong'an.
The two imperial yamen that are above all the powerful yamen, the Imperial Guards in the open and the Blue Dragon Guards in secret.
Now, the leader of the Qinglong Guard was right in front of him. After Yong'an Hou greeted him, he was still in a daze for a long time until he sat down.
The waiter had served hot tea again, and also brought a plate of cakes and a plate of southern snacks.
Yuntang sat next to Yun Xuanmo on one side of the couch, and Marquis Yong'an sat on the other side. Yuntang took a piece of cake and ate it slowly. He waited until his father calmed down before he spoke slowly.
"Father, I will be leaving with Senior Brother Nine in a while. We will depart from Qingfeng Palace to the Western Territory in the evening."
"I have prepared New Year gifts for Prince Cheng's Mansion, my two uncles' families, and Duke Chen's Mansion, as return gifts for the gifts they gave me a while ago. I asked my second brother to write the gift list, and you can help me deliver it."
"If there's anything, I'll talk to you after I come back after the New Year. If there's anything else you need my decision on, just tell me now."
When Yong'an Hou looked at Yun Tang, his eyes would definitely pass by Yun Xuanmo. Seeing that he didn't look very old, he couldn't help but ask, "Tang'er, are you going to the Western Territory with your ninth senior brother?"
Yun Tang nodded, but explained: "It should be said that Ninth Senior Brother accompanied me. After all, I am also the leader of the Azure Dragon Guard and have my own responsibilities."
She explained this way because she didn't want her father to think that it was her Ninth Senior Brother who asked her to go. After all, if she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she would still be a Marquis's daughter. She was afraid that her old father would complain about being away during the New Year and blame her Ninth Senior Brother.
Besides, this trip was actually their sect’s business. Ninth Senior Brother had recovered well, so if he wanted to go, Yuntang didn’t stop him.
Marquis Yong'an was not clear about the reason, but he knew it was not something he could stop, so he put down the teacup and saluted Yun Xuanmo.
"Tang'er grew up in Qingfeng Temple since he was young. I heard that he was brought up by Lord Si. Jiang has no right to ask about the affairs of Qingfeng Temple and Qinglong Guard, but as a father, I can only ask Lord Si to take good care of Tang'er."
Yun Xuanmo quickly returned the greeting and nodded seriously: "I will definitely do it."
Yuntang didn't expect that her father didn't even use "this Marquis" but called himself "Mr. Jiang". She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This attitude was so humble. Was he afraid that Senior Brother Nine would not take care of her?
She is a celestial master...
Forget it, her father has the attitude and awareness of a father, and she should appreciate it.
At this time, Yong'an Hou took out a few banknotes and said, "Tang'er, your father didn't know you were in such a hurry to go out. Here are the three thousand taels I prepared last night. I'll pay you first, and the other..."
"Here are two thousand taels, given to you by your father. If you need money outside, it will at least help you out."
Marquis Yong'an placed five thousand-liang silver bills on the couch and pushed it across the table, saying with a smile.
He did not mention the fact that Yuntang earned Princess Kangning 200,000 taels from just two pills last night, he only talked about his own side.
Six marrow cleansing pills for only five hundred taels each, which is definitely a very reasonable price.
After all, those dozens of young men were disciples registered under the name of Yun Xuanyuan in the Imperial Guard Camp. With this relationship, there was a reason why they charged five hundred taels, which was not expensive. They were just taking advantage of it.
As for whether the marrow cleansing pill is effective or not, he would know after using it last night. He broke out in a foul-smelling sweat, and felt refreshed after washing off all the dirt on his body.
All the old injuries he had incurred when he was a general had healed, and his energy was even stronger. He also picked up a weapon and practiced martial arts for an hour before resting.
He did not feel tired at all before daybreak. Instead, he was full of energy and breath. He practiced some boxing and then washed up and went to court.
Just for the powerful effect of the medicine, he would give an extra two thousand taels to express his gratitude as a father and the head of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Thank you very much, father." Yuntang did not refuse the two thousand taels. He leaned over and took the several silver bills on the table and put them into his sleeves.
Yun Xuanmo looked at all this and didn't know what to say.
Marquis Yong'an did not continue discussing this matter, but instead started chatting with Yun Xuanmo.
Ask some questions such as: when did you join Qingfeng Temple, whether Tang'er was obedient when he was a child, when did you come to the capital, whether the Qinglong Guards often go on missions and have to leave the capital frequently, whether there is any marriage proposal...
As they were discussing, the question came to the topic of marriage. No matter how calm Yun Xuanmo was, he couldn't help but be stunned. How should he answer this question now?
Fortunately, Yun Tang immediately answered the question. She tilted her head and muttered in confusion, "I don't think I heard that Senior Brother Nine proposed getting married..."
Yun Xuanmo's expression froze again, and he finally glanced at Yun Tang with displeasure, and said softly: "Our Heavenly Master's marriage is not as simple as just talking about marriage, there are many rules."
Having said this, Yun Xuanmo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and stopped talking.
Yun Tang glanced at Senior Brother Nine and nodded, “When other senior brothers got married, they were not Heavenly Masters yet, so the rules were simpler.”
Therefore, the Taoist priest has to ask the heaven for help before getting married, just like matching the horoscopes in ordinary marriages. If they are compatible, a Taoist marriage certificate will be signed, the betrothal gift will be given, and the heaven will be informed, and then the marriage can take place.
There are also Taoist etiquettes for offering betrothal gifts, and it is not a matter that can be solved with just ordinary gold and silver.
Yun Tang has been reincarnated for nine lifetimes, focusing on spiritual practice. He has never come across an example of a Heavenly Master getting married, so he doesn't know much.
After hearing this, Marquis Yong'an started to wonder in his mind, did Tang'er's ninth senior brother propose marriage or not?
Yong'an Hou suddenly looked at Yuntang and asked, "Tang'er, your father asked you about your marriage before, and you said that the emperor would arrange it. So... has the emperor made any arrangements?"
Yuntang was stunned by the question and looked at Yong'an Hou blankly, wondering why he was asking about her again?
