Zongwu: I am Ma Dayuan's disciple, Master's wife, you are so hot

Duan Mingyuan shook his head: "I can ask my wife to do it."

"Then please Mr. Duan to entertain us. I just happen to have something I want to ask you."

……

in the hall.

Duan Mingyuan sat in the main seat, while Shen Xin and Liu Ruoxin sat below him.

There were tea, snacks and all kinds of snacks, but Shen Xin had no intention of touching them. When going out, one had to be more vigilant. Even if nothing happened, one had to be careful.

Now that Shen Xin and Liu Ruoxin have just extorted five thousand taels of silver from Duan Mingyuan, they must be more prepared.

Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst!

"Master Duan, what is your relationship with the Duan family of Dali?" Shen Xin asked.

"There is some connection. There are many people with the surname Duan in Dali, but not all of them can be related to the Huang family. But as for me, strictly speaking, the person sitting on the dragon throne now and I are still distant relatives." Duan Mingyuan did not hide it. He also planned to use this opportunity to add a layer of golden body to himself.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Duan is a royal relative." Shen Xin complimented with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruoxin, who was sitting next to Shen Xin, kicked him angrily.

If you have something to say, just say it now. Why are you wasting time?

Now that Duan Mingyuan has been controlled, there is no need to be polite to him!

Duan Mingyuan saw this and said with a smile: "Young Master, if you have anything to say, please speak up. As long as I know something, I will tell you everything I know."

"Mr. Duan, I wonder if you have heard of the Valley of Eternal Youth!" Shen Xin nodded and went straight to the point.

To Shen Xin's surprise, after he asked this question, Duan Mingyuan was fine, but Liu Ruoxin's mood changed drastically. She looked at Shen Xin in surprise and doubt, with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.

Shen Xin even felt that she was a little restless.

But in the end, Liu Ruoxin was fine.

At this time, Duan Mingyuan also shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, sir. I haven't heard of the place you mentioned."

"Haven't you heard of the legend of the Eternal Spring Valley?" Shen Xin was a little unwilling to give up.

At one point, he even suspected that Duan Mingyuan was lying to him.

But Duan Mingyuan's expression certainly didn't seem like he was lying.

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, if the existence of the Eternal Spring Valley could be known by just anyone, I'm afraid that there would be no need to wait for Xiaoyaozi to find out, as the Eternal Spring Valley would have been occupied by various imperial courts long ago.

Shen Xin originally wanted to confirm from Duan Mingyuan whether the Valley of Eternal Youth really existed.

If it exists, I will definitely go and see it if I have the chance.

Shen Xin was thinking of picking up a bargain!

But he didn't expect that Duan Mingyuan got nothing, but Liu Ruoxin's attitude gave him the answer!

Five thousand taels of silver were quickly delivered, but Liu Ruoxin's mind was obviously not on this at the moment, so Shen Xin could only accept it on her behalf.

Afterwards, Shen Xin and Liu Ruoxin said goodbye and left Duan Mansion directly.

Not long after walking, Shen Xin stopped when he came to an open space.

"How do you know about the Eternal Spring Valley?" Liu Ruoxin held the hilt of the sword with one hand and looked at Shen Xin with complicated eyes.

She got along very well with Shen Xin, and if possible, she didn't want to fight with Shen Xin.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, Shen Xin cooperates obediently!

Chapter 26: Longevity God Marquis Jiajing

"You came to Dali just for the Eternal Spring Valley?"

Shen Xin looked at Liu Ruoxin who had her hand on the hilt of the sword, and based on her previous emotional changes, he had already guessed her purpose.

"I don't want to fight with you. Tell me what you know about the Eternal Spring Valley." Liu Ruoxin gritted her teeth. They had just known each other for less than a day, but Shen Xin undoubtedly left a deep mark in her heart.

Otherwise, Liu Ruoxin wouldn't have wasted her time talking to Shen Xin, and wouldn't have been so entangled.

"Don't make the atmosphere so tense. Let's find a place to have a good chat, okay?" Shen Xin looked at Liu Ruoxin and forced a smile.

At this moment, Liu Ruoxin felt extremely guilty. She lowered her head silently, not daring to look at Shen Xin.

But her hand, which had been on the hilt of the sword, had moved away.

Shen Xin was not as fragile as he appeared. He was just taking advantage of this opportunity to trick Liu Ruoxin.

In Shen Xin's opinion, the secret of the Eternal Spring Valley is both important and not so important.

The key point is that he doesn’t even know where the Valley of Eternal Youth is!

The two found an inn nearby, booked a room, and moved in.

After Shen Xin entered the room, he sat down by himself and told Liu Ruoxin what he knew: "My information comes from my master. He once told me the story of the Eternal Spring Valley and said that the Eternal Spring Valley is in Dali, but my master didn't tell me where it is exactly."

"That's all?" Liu Ruoxin asked.

"If I knew more, I wouldn't have to ask Duan Mingyuan. It's just a legend whose truth or falsity is unknown, and I was just trying my luck." Shen Xin spread his hands and looked at Liu Ruoxin with helplessness and grievance.

"Now, let me tell you, why are you so nervous about the Immortal Changchun Valley?"

"My name is Liu Ruoxin."

Shen Xin nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Half out of guilt and half out of trust in Shen Xin after getting along with him, Liu Ruoxin sighed and explained her identity in Shen Xin's expectant gaze.

"I am from the Ming Dynasty. I am the adopted daughter of Wang Zhi, the governor of the Western Factory, and I am also the head of the Western Factory. This time I came to Dali on the orders of Emperor Jiajing to investigate the matter of the Eternal Spring Valley."

"Jiajing?" Shen Xin was a little confused. The emperor who devoted himself to practicing Taoism and did not attend court?

In this world's Ming Dynasty, is he the emperor?

"Yes, Prince Jiajing devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and wanted to achieve immortality. Half a year ago, the prince found a book of miscellaneous notes from somewhere, which mentioned the matter of the Eternal Spring Valley. After that, I was sent here."

Liu Ruoxin nodded. Since she had already said it, there was nothing to hide.

Shen Xin was a little surprised. When he heard the name Jiajing, he thought he was the emperor, but he didn't expect that he became a prince in the blink of an eye.

But he is just a prince, how can he command Wang Zhi?

The emperor couldn't do anything about it. The Western Factory was a special authorization of the emperor, and it could execute people first and report later. How could the emperor sleep well with such a knife handed over to a prince?

"Why should you, the Western Factory, listen to a prince?" Shen Xin directly asked his doubts.

Liu Ruoxin was not surprised that Shen Xin didn't know these things. As a man of the world, it was normal for Shen Xin not to understand the situation in the court, not to mention that he was not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Western Factory was not established by the current emperor, but by the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, the Western Factory fell into the hands of the late emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Wan Guifei."

"Concubine Wan was favored by the late emperor, but now that the late emperor has passed away, her power is like rootless water. The current emperor is also closer to Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory."

"In order to protect itself, the Western Factory and Concubine Wan also wanted to secure her position in the harem, so they had to seek external help."

"So, we went to find Wanshou Shenhou!"

The identity of Jiajing, the Marquis of Longevity, is that of Jiajing in this world.

"Why not look for Tiedan Shenhou?" Shen Xin asked.

Jiajing is quite famous in history, but he has almost no reputation in the world of martial arts. Compared with Jiajing, Zhu Wusi is undoubtedly a more powerful backer.

"My foster father said that Zhu Wusi is a traitor who pretends to be loyal and will not accept us. Moreover, Concubine Wan will not allow the Western Factory to join Zhu Wusi."

"At first, Zhu Wusi wanted to marry a commoner woman, which caused quite a stir in the court. Concubine Wan once tried to stop Zhu Wusi from marrying that woman, and thus became enemies with Zhu Wusi."

understood!

Zhu Wusi wanted fame, so it was impossible for him to accept the Western Factory.

Moreover, Concubine Wan, who controlled the Western Factory, had a grudge against Zhu Wusi, so it was impossible for her to bring the Western Factory to join him.

"So, you have been in Dali for almost half a year. What have you learned about the Valley of Eternal Youth?" Shen Xin asked with a smile.

Liu Ruoxin rolled her eyes at Shen Xin. If she had gained something, she would not have been so unwise just now. She even wanted to fight with Shen Xin at one point.

Moreover, if she really gained something, she would never tell Shen Xin.

"In the Dali Palace, we found some information about the Eternal Spring Valley, but the exact location was not recorded. However, we did get more detailed information about the Eternal Spring Valley."

"The book says that there is a fountain of youth in the Eternal Spring Valley, and there is also a scripture that teaches people how to achieve immortality." Liu Ruoxin said, carefully observing Shen Xin's reaction.

Seeing that Shen Xin was not surprised, Liu Ruoxin knew that he was aware of all the information she had given him.

"Did your master tell you all this?" Liu Ruoxin was a little unwilling.

"Ah."

"So what else did your master tell you about the Eternal Spring Valley?"

"No." Shen Xin replied.

"You're lying," Liu Ruoxin exposed him directly, "You didn't even think about it and just said no. You must know other news."

"So, you want to capture me and torture me to extract a confession?" Shen Xin did not deny it, but asked Liu Ruoxin.

Now that Liu Ruoxin has calmed down, and her guilt has not yet dissipated, how could she possibly fight with Shen Xin?

"If you tell me what you know, I will agree to one of your conditions." Liu Ruoxin smiled slightly. She did not intend to use force, but chose to play to her strengths.

"Any conditions are fine?" Shen Xin looked Liu Ruoxin up and down and said with a smile.

"Any conditions are fine." Liu Ruoxin nodded.

Shen Xin put his hand on his chin. He didn't think Liu Ruoxin would be so disrespectful to him. She agreed so readily now and would not regret it later. But if he really wanted to take her body, he was afraid that there would be many twists and turns.

This is indeed the case. Liu Ruoxin certainly knows what Shen Xin wants, and she is not going to go back on her word.

But who said that she had to fulfill Shen Xin's conditions immediately after agreeing to them?

She just needs to delay until she returns to Ming Dynasty!
