Chapter 43 Cutting Weeds and Roots
Second floor.
Lu Yan and Shangguan Haitang sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
After collecting the reward, Fang Daping came to Lu Yan with a heavy copper plate and broken silver on a tray and said, "Mr. Lu, this is today's reward, a total of four hundred and twenty-six yuan."
Lu Yan nodded slightly and said, "Let it go."
When Fang Daping put down the tray, Lu Yan casually grabbed a handful of copper plates from the tray and handed them to Fang Daping, saying, "This is yours."
Fang Daping accepted the reward, thanked him, and did not leave immediately.
He looked at Lu Yan, hesitant, as if he had something to say.
Lu Yan glanced at Fang Daping and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Fang Daping took a deep breath, gathered up his courage, and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to leave!"
After saying these words, the look on Fang Daping's face couldn't help but become very decisive!
Lu Yan looked at the look of determination on Fang Daping's face, then picked up two pieces of silver from the tray and handed them to Fang Daping.
Fang Daping looked at the scraps of silver handed over by Lu Yan, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I think the money is short, I... I don't want to stay in Qixia Town anymore!"
These days, Fang Daping spends time with Lu Yan day and night. On the surface, Fang Daping is calm, but in fact, he is tortured on the inside.
Whenever someone saw him and pointed at him, he seemed to hear these people laughing at him and mocking him.
As a disciple of the Songshan Sect, his arrogance caused the Songshan Sect to embark on the path of destruction.
But after the Songshan Sect was destroyed, he had to live next to the enemy who destroyed the Songshan Sect. This was too painful for him!
Lu Yan shook his head and said, "I give you two more pieces of silver. They are for your expenses, not wages."
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Fang Daping showed surprise on his face and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you willing to let me go?"
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Let's go."
…
In front of the gate of Qixia Town, Fang Daping carried his luggage and looked back in the direction of Tongfu Inn, with a complicated expression on his face.
He lowered his head and glanced at the two pieces of silver in his hand, gritted his teeth, and suddenly reached out and threw the two pieces of silver on the ground.
"I only want what I deserve. I don't want what you give me!"
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"
"Ten years later, I will definitely come back to you to avenge the Songshan Sect!"
After saying these words, Fang Daping turned around and walked towards the official road.
boom!
Without any warning, a thunder suddenly fell from the clear sky!
…
Inn, second floor.
Shangguan Haitang looked at Lu Yan who suddenly drew and retracted his sword, and heard faint thunder coming from outside the city. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "Did you kill him?"
Lu Yan nodded frankly and said, "If I don't kill him, do I have to wait for him to come back from his studies and seek revenge from me?"
If Fang Daping is willing to stay by his side and be a servant with peace of mind, then he will naturally not take action against Fang Daping.
But Fang Daping had hatred in his heart and was thinking about leaving him all the time and then coming back to take revenge on him.
Although Fang Daping hid it very well, how could he hide it from him?
So today Fang Daping took the initiative to leave, so he gave two broken pieces of silver as a gift, and attached his own energy to the broken pieces of silver to lock Fang Daping's position.
Originally, he planned to wait for Fang Daping to go far away before taking action. He never thought that Fang Daping would lose the two pieces of silver just after he left Qixia Town.
As a last resort, he suddenly drew his sword and killed Fang Daping from the air with a thunderbolt.
Lu Yan looked at Shangguan Haitang and asked, "Do you think what I did was wrong?"
Shangguan Haitang shook his head and said: "If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows."
Lu Yan smiled slightly and poured a cup of tea for Shangguan Haitang. Understanding each other is rare in life, and having a like-minded person by your side who understands you is truly a blessing in life.
Thumping.
Suddenly, a homing pigeon flew from the window and landed on the windowsill.
When Shangguan Haitang saw the pigeon, he reached out to grab the pigeon and untied the secret message from the pigeon's leg.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, she couldn't help frowning and said: "The envoy from the Izumo Kingdom is about to come to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. My foster father urgently called me back to investigate the envoy from the Izumo Kingdom."
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to leave immediately?"
Shangguan Haitang nodded and said: "It is extremely urgent and we must set off immediately."
…
Qixia Town, at the gate of the city.
Lu Yan looked at Shangguan Haitang, who was dressed in men's clothing, with a subtle look.
"I didn't expect to see you off again so soon. As I said, be careful on the road."
Shangguan Haitang nodded, but this time she did not get on her horse immediately, but took out a month-old white purse from her sleeve and put it on her belt.
She lowered her head and glanced at her purse, then said to Lu Yan: "I put the note you gave me last time in here."
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Okay."
Shangguan Haitang took a deep look at Lu Yan and said, "The hibiscus is not as beautiful as Haitang's makeup, and the wind blows in front of the window and the clouds on the temples are fragrant. I want to know what the next sentence is?"
Lu Yan shook his head and replied, "I'll tell you next time we meet."
…
Forbidden City.
Cao Zhengchun entered the palace and met the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of Izumo Kingdom Karasuma and Princess Toshihide are about to enter the capital. I think that in order to show the magnanimity of the Ten Family, someone with a sufficiently distinguished status should be sent to greet them."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, then who do you think it is more appropriate for me to send?"
Cao Zhengchun replied: "The Iron Brave God of Dragon Guard Villa is your uncle, so he should share your worries for your majesty."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "In that case, then you should go to Hulong Villa and give me my decree."
Cao Zhengchun did not leave after hearing this, and said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Cao Zhengchun replied: "Earlier, I reported to Your Majesty the storyteller Lu Yan and the Sword God Ximen Chuixue for a battle at the top of the Forbidden City. I proposed that the Lord Iron Dan should handle the matter. Recently, I received the news that Iron Lord
Shangguan Haitang, the No. 1 Dauchi secret agent under the command of the Dangshen Hou, has always lived in Qixia Town, and has a close relationship with that storyteller..."
When Zhu Houzhao heard what Cao Zhengchun said, he couldn't help frowning and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I dare not say anything."
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "If I want you to say it, just say it! Just forgive your innocence!"
Cao Zhengchun raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "I think that Shangguan Haitang is just a small secret agent in the big house, and he should not have the guts to approach the storyteller who dares to challenge the majesty of the Tian family. There may be someone behind this.
It’s a signal, but I don’t know whether it’s to investigate the storyteller or to make friends with the storyteller.”
