Peng Chong was confused when he got these eight words and didn't know what it meant. He pondered over and over again when he got home and chatted with his wife.

Mrs. Peng said: "I heard that there is a place in the west of the city called Huang Lao Tai Qingguan. It is a first-class and quiet place. There are many alchemists practicing. Could it be that this Taiqing?"

After hearing this, Peng Chong remembered it in his heart. After finding a free time, he went to the west of the city.

Along the way, I saw green mountains, clear streams, and the scenery was very pleasant. Peng Chong was in the city for a long time, and occasionally came out, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

After walking several miles of mountain road, I came to a quiet place. In the valley, several houses were arranged in a row, surrounded by low earth walls, covered with green trees and scattered houses, like a fairyland.

Peng Chong entered Taiqing Temple and saw a temple that was first enshrined in some unknown gods. A person who looked like a Confucian scholar came out to receive him. He claimed that he was the master of Taiqing Temple, and led Peng Chong to visit the temple.

There are dozens of alchemists living in this Taiqing Temple, some of whom practice the body and some of whom are all outsiders. Peng Chong talked to them, trying to see if there were any strange figures. After hovering for a long time, he felt nothing had gained, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.

At noon, Peng Chong was having food in the temple. After preparing for a while, he rushed back to the city. Suddenly, he saw the servant who was delivering water and food in good shape and did not look like a slave. He asked, "Who are you?"

The servant said, "The villain is a man from Nanyang. He fled here due to war. He had not met his relatives and lived here. He was just a servant who swept the servants and made a living."

"Oh? Nanyang people, where are they?"

When he heard that he was from his hometown in Nanyang, Peng Chong became interested and chatted with his servant about the scenery in his hometown. He was indeed from his hometown. When he met, he became more and more friendly. When Peng Chong asked about his name, his servant said, "The villain's surname is Yang, his name is Taiqing, and he has no words."

Peng Chong's heart moved. In this Taiqing Temple, he met a person named Taiqing. Did he actually respond to the sentence: "If you want peace, you must have Taiqing?"

He asked, "Do you want to leave this Taiqing Temple and follow Mr. Peng back home?"

Yang Taiqing immediately knelt down and said, "If you can serve the prefect, the villain will be willing to do anything."

Yang Taiqing was taken back to the prefect's mansion, and first of all, he was only engaged in some work of sweeping and carrying water in the courtyard. In a few days, he was favored by Peng Chong because of his neat hands and feet, and was obedient and clever, and asked him to serve him closely. He was promoted and became more respectful and cautious, and Peng Chong loved him very much.

It's strange that since Yang Taiqing entered the mansion, there has been no stolen murder in the mansion. The prefect's mansion has gradually become peaceful. Mrs. Peng also feels calm. She has had a nightmare occasionally, but then she has never been there again.

As expected, when he met Taiqing, his family and his house were peaceful, he was content with Yang Taiqing. Not only did Peng Chong live a more smooth life, but he even sent troops to attack Youbeiping very smoothly. He narrowed the two counties and included them under his own rule.

Peng Chong took him with him wherever he went. For a moment, Yang Taiqing became the confidant of the prefect, a celebrity in Yuyang County, and officials from all over the country also rushed to meet him and looked at him with different eyes.

What Peng Chong even more admired was that Yang Taiqing was a very nostalgic person. Because of the kindness of Taiqing's Guanzhu's inviting, he would go back to Taiqing to visit the Guanzhu whenever he was upset. Sometimes he still did some cleaning work in the Guanzhu, and did not boast about his status and underestimate others.

"He is too clear to his person, with excellent talents and strong virtues, and is very grateful to me. He is really my lucky star!" Peng Chong often said this.

However, like many things in the world, some things are not what they see on the surface, and some people do not show it.

It was another rest day, and Yang Taiqing rode back to Taiqing Temple alone. When the servants in the temple saw him, they were very respectful and no longer shouted and drank casually like before.

"The host has a guest and is meeting guests in the room, but he said that you will see him immediately as soon as you come." A child servant said with a smile on his face.

Yang Taiqing went directly to the main room of the audience and knocked on the door with his fingers, two long and two short.

The door opened silently, and one hand called it inside. Yang Taiqing pushed the door in, closed the door, and immediately bowed down.

"Captain, you are here!"

The Taiqing Temple Master stood by, sitting upright on his head, and turned out to be Wu Yuan, the director of the Han Intelligence Bureau. His official position in the court was "Supporting State Captain"

Wu Yuan nodded and asked, "What are Peng Chongke's plans recently?"

Yang Taiqing said: "Peng Chong has sent someone to go south with gifts to get along with Zhang Bu, Fuping Huosuo and others to strengthen his power. He also wants to send troops to Shanggu and attack and capture the counties."

Wu Yuan said: "The Tongma Emperor has sent guerrilla general Deng Long to lead more than 10,000 people north to meet with Zhu Fu in Ji County. If they are allowed to join, the thief will be strong."

Yang Taiqing said: "The villain will look for an opportunity to offer advice to Peng and attack him separately."

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Taiqing, Peng Chong loves you very much and will definitely promote you. You will be at a high position in the future, but don't forget the kindness of Your Majesty."

Yang Taiqing kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The lieutenant was promoted by the lieutenant, and he was appointed by the lieutenant to be a family of old and young people, and had no worries about food and clothing. The lieutenant never dared to forget the lieutenant's great kindness and virtue, and swear to repay the lieutenant to die."

Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everything you is given by Your Majesty. The first thing you must remember is Your Majesty's great kindness, not Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu is just doing the job for His Majesty."

Yang Taiqing agreed with singularly that in his heart, he knew Wu Yuan's power, his life and family were all controlled by Wu Yuan. As for the extremely kind Emperor Jianshi, it was the sun in the sky, and it was beyond reach. The so-called kindness of Your Majesty is the kindness of the captain.

Yang Taiqing was indeed from Nanyang. He was originally a minor official in the Han Intelligence Bureau. Wu Yuan specially placed him in Youzhou Cao in order to invade Peng Chong, and used Taiqing Temple as bait to catch Peng Chong.

The theft incident in Peng Chong's house was originally done by Zimi and others. They were greedy for money and robbed themselves. Because they had a nightmare with Mrs. Peng, Peng Chong and his wife hesitated. Zimi deliberately cut down the trees in the courtyard and stole some messy things beyond the precious things to confuse people's eyes and lead the matter to evil spirits.

In the first half of this incident, it was just a slave in the mansion that caused trouble. In the second half, the Han Intelligence Bureau, Youzhou Cao, intervened. The master of Taiqing Temple was originally the leader of Youzhou Cao. He had been paying attention to Peng Chong's mansion and secretly found Zimi's conspiracy. Seeing that this matter was quite useful, he took action one after another, killed Zimi and the other two stolen slaves, pushing the terrifying incident of the Taiguan Mansion to a climax. In a mysterious way, he introduced Peng Chong into Taiqing Temple and inadvertently recommended Yang Taiqing to him.
