Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the visitor in surprise, why did he call her name? Even if they send invitations, they shouldn't be sent to her. According to what they showed before, Jiang Yichun is the envoy, and Li Jin is assisting.

Jiang Yichun also looked at him suspiciously, what did the emperor mean?

The person who came to deliver the letter spoke Chinese very well. He saw the confusion between the two and said with a smile: "Every year at this time, a women's poetry gathering is held in Kyoto. Women from noble families in Kyoto participate, and the poems must be written in Chinese. Do it. So His Majesty the Emperor wants to ask Mr. Bai to be a judge. I think no one is more familiar with the poetry of the Central Plains than you."

Bai Ruozhu has no interest in this kind of poetry competition. Most of them are a group of women competing for beauty. Although it is okay for her to be a judge, it is very boring to think about it.

"I..." Just as he started speaking, Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought of something and agreed as soon as the topic changed.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your trust. I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

The messenger put forward the invitation, briefly mentioned the time and place, and then took his leave.

"Do you think there is a chance to find out about Yu Huan?" Jiang Yichun quickly guessed her intention.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "According to the information from the spies, the businessman's wife is from Fusang, and the daughter next to him looks like Yu Huan. According to Yu Huan's age, most of them want to go out to meet people or even discuss marriage. Like this She may participate in the poetry meeting, and even if she doesn’t participate, she may be able to collect some clues from the Fuso woman.”

"Then be careful when the time comes and take Feng Lanying and Yi Zi with you."

Men were not allowed to attend most of these women's gatherings, so Jiang Yichun was a little worried and asked Bai Ruozhu to bring two helpers to be safer.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at him, "Don't worry, the shadow ninja thing is quite a big deal, and they probably have too much to take care of themselves recently."

…

At the same time, people sent by the Emperor and General Akamatsu arrived at the secret gathering place of the shadow ninjas. This place is deep into the mountains, and it is indeed secretive. Unfortunately, they were a step too late. When they arrived, there was no one left, and the place became a completely abandoned place.

Probably because they were afraid of leaving clues, the cave had been burned by fire, and everything was scorched, and even the walls of the cave were dark.

"You run really fast. Go out and check for clues." The person leading the team said.

General Chisong was led by Lu Zhi. He did not immediately go out to look for clues, but took a closer look at the cave. After all, the other party will definitely leave after setting the fire, and there may be places in the cave that cannot be burned.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to find some medicinal residues buried in the ground. Chisong had people collect them and planned to take them back to the doctor for a look.

The people on the Emperor's side did not find any clues, and finally had no choice but to return in vain, but it is basically certain that there used to be a secret shadow ninja team here, and now they have disappeared.

It seems that the night when the shadow ninja was killed by Bai Ruozhu and the others, they moved quickly.

Bai Ruozhu and the others quickly received the news from Matsuda. It was expected, but they were still a little disappointed.

In a blink of an eye, the day came when it was time to go to Zhaoti Temple again. In order not to be exposed, Bai Ruozhu did not bring the mechanism box, but took the tips bag to see Master Puru.

"That's it?" Puru was excited and nervous when she saw something, and her hands were shaking a little.

"Yes, it's hidden inside a bronze Buddha. The exterior of the bronze Buddha is a little melted by the heat. Please read what's written inside." Bai Ruozhu pointed at the brocade bag.

Puru opened the kit tremblingly and took a quick look at the contents. His face became more and more solemn. Probably because he was afraid that he had read it wrong, he read it carefully twice before finally confirming it completely. .

He sighed faintly, "How could I be involved with the Emperor? This, this is really..."

Obviously Puru, like Bai Ruozhu, does not want to get involved in royal matters, but Puru has promised his master and will not really refuse to do it.

"It seems that I must meet His Highness the Second Highness." Puru said again.

"Master, your injury has not healed. It's best not to work too hard. If possible, try to find an excuse to invite His Highness over." Bai Ruozhu suggested, but she thought about it and then said, "We won't be there then. After all, we He’s a foreigner, so it’s not good to interfere too much.”

Puru opened his mouth to persuade him to stay, but after thinking that what Bai Ruozhu said made sense, he nodded and agreed.

Bai Ruozhu gave him some more burn medicine before saying goodbye and leaving.

On the way back, Bai Ruozhu told Jiang Yichun about Puru's plan. Jiang Yichun thought about it and said, "No matter whether the second prince can ascend the throne or not, let's try to avoid this matter."

"Okay, tomorrow is the Tang Feng Poetry Festival, and I'm too lazy to worry about other things, so as not to miss the opportunity to find Jade Temple and the others." Bai Ruozhu said.

On the morning of the second day, Bai Ruozhu changed into official uniforms, and Yi Zi and Feng Lanying appeared dressed upside down. The two looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise, because the official uniforms looked impressive, but they were not very beautiful. , like men's clothing.

"Ruozhu, aren't you? We are going to compete for the beauty of Fusang's women. Are you wearing this too seriously?" Feng Lanying pouted and said.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "You little girls can just go and compete for beauty. I have three children, so I can help you hold the battle."

"This..." Feng Lanying shook her head, and finally had no choice but to let Bai Ruozhu go, but she didn't know that Bai Ruozhu's serious official uniform almost became a popular style of clothing among the women of Fuso State.

The three of them took a carriage. Jiang Yichun and the others wanted to send them there, but Bai Ruozhu refused, making them look like delicate flowers. Wasn't he looking down on them too much?

The carriage headed towards the Tang Feng Poetry Meeting. Speaking of which, this poetry meeting can be called "Tang Feng". It can be seen that the original Central Plains culture was transmitted from the Tang Dynasty, but in this intertwined time and space, it is unknown that the Tang and Fusang Dynasties When did they meet, and how long has it been since now?

As we get closer to the venue, there are more carriages on the road, and there are also women on foot, all wearing exquisite and gorgeous kimonos, and they all walk very dignifiedly.

Soon a guard stopped the carriage and said a lot of Fuso words. Bai Ruozhu and the others were still confused. A woman wearing a kimono and a maid next to them smiled and said in Chinese: "The carriage can't go any further. It starts here." On foot.”

Bai Ruozhu and the others got out of the car and thanked the girl. The girl looked at them in surprise and asked, "Are you the envoys of the Central Plains? What is the name of your country... Danliang Kingdom?"

"Exactly." Bai Ruozhu nodded with a smile.

"Then which one of you is Master Bai?" The girl's eyes lit up, as if she had seen the idol she admired in her heart.
