Zong Rui sat alone for a while, and someone came out of the darkness.
"Is this what you mean by tacit understanding?" Zong Rui said with a bit of ridicule.
The Xuanyi Jianghu man sat down and became unsure.
"Perhaps he is particularly cautious?" Xuanyi said.
Zong Rui shook his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
He really didn't want to continue this scene, but he had to do it again.
Because of this drama, my father even stayed away.
Because he represents the entire clan, it would be too cautious for him to come forward.
And if you do it yourself, even if something goes wrong, you can still blame it on someone else, and there is still a way out.
But things didn't go so well, Zong Rui felt a little worried.
This Yang San looks like he is in need of food and salt. Could it be that they guessed wrong?
"Don't be so anxious. Everyone else is already at Baimen Gorge. Just wait and see." Xuan Yi said.
Zong Rui sighed. He didn't want to waste it at all. His family's situation was already very delicate. If this matter was leaked, God knows what trouble it would cause.
If there is something fatal in someone else's hands, they don't want to get involved.
But things have reached this point, so we can only bite the bullet and continue.
Only by getting the things back can we continue to be their loyal ministers and generals with peace of mind.
When the man in Xuanyi returned to his temporary residence, a shadow faintly emerged.
"No results tonight," he said.
The shadow didn't move.
Xuan Yiren continued: "You can't expect the results to come out right away. If the truth is what we guessed, he will be very careful not to let others see it."
After a while, Shadow's hoarse voice sounded: "You should pay attention to the woman next to him."
The man in Xuanyi was startled for a moment: "You said that woman who accompanied him here? What should we pay attention to? Isn't she just a concubine?"
"Concubine?" Shadow said coldly, "She has mysterious skills, but you didn't even notice it. Do you think she will be an ordinary concubine?"
"What?" Xuan Yi was shocked.
When Yang Shu came, he saw a woman in the car, but he didn't pay attention at all.
The shadow continued: "Do you know what this woman has done? Six months ago, she led a caravan deep into the Hu land and instigated eight tribes of the Northern Hu tribe to kill each other, causing the Tianshen Mountain to become a river of blood. After that, she was chased for thousands of miles by the new Hu leader Su Tu
She was killed but returned safely in the end. Do you still think she is an ordinary concubine?"
Xuan Yiren murmured: "A while ago, he went to Beitianmen with great fanfare and risked offending Liang Zhang. Was she the one who responded?"
"That's right."
The man in Xuan Yi calmed down and said, "In this case, our guess is very likely! Such a master is willing to be used by him, how can his identity be ordinary?"
"And the Zong family, how could they not know about such a big thing happening to the Hu tribe? But they didn't remind us a word, which shows that they don't have much trust."
The man in Xuanyi said proudly: "Does this need to be said? Once this matter is over, the Zong family will definitely not be able to stay. My secret message has been sent to Liang Zhang. I believe he will be happy to replace the Zong family."
"Every step is considered good, don't make any mistakes."
On the other side, Yang Shu took Ning Xiu back to the guest house.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Mingwei nodded, meaning that the place had been cleaned up and she could speak with confidence.
Yang Shu then asked: "Brother, the Zong family didn't do anything to you, right?"
"No." Ning Xiu paused and said, "I didn't want you to come originally, but I can leave and others can't. I can't escape this trip anyway, so I might as well let you come."
Yang Shu heard something: "Do you think there is a problem?"
Ning Xiu nodded slowly: "Someone deliberately lured you here."
"What you mean is that you're not from the Zong family?"
"It's the Zong family, but there are others." Ning Xiu said, "I have been in the Zong family these days, and I feel that there is a profound scholar in the house, and his skills are not weak."
"Good intentions or bad intentions?"
"He never showed up."
Yang Shu knocked on the table and thought carefully.
"Zong Rui wasn't angry at all when I spoke like that. It shows that our previous guess was right. We had other motives for bringing me here. So, what are you trying to do?"
Apart from the secret of his life experience, he really had nothing for the Zong family to pursue.
But what does the Xuanshi hiding in the Zong family mean?
At this time, Ah Xuan's voice came from outside: "Young Master, the maid of the Zong family brought you a late-night snack. She said that Young Master Zong saw that you didn't use it much just now, and she was worried that you didn't have enough to eat."
Mingwei chuckled: "You feel right at home! Since it was the Zong family that brought you here, let's wait and see what happens next and see whether the drama is about the Zhao family's orphans or the painted skin."
…
Early the next morning, Zong Rui went to see Yang Shu in person.
Unexpectedly, he drank a whole pot of tea outside and watched the sun rise before there was any movement inside.
Mr. Yang, dressed fairly neatly, came out yawning, with a peach blossom face and a bright spring scenery.
"Morning!" he greeted casually and lazily sat down in the chair.
Just as Zong Rui was about to speak, a maid walked out quickly, bowed and saluted, and handed over a jade pendant: "Master, Miss Ming asked your slave to bring something."
"Oh." Yang Shu took it naturally, tied the jade pendant back to his waist, and asked Zong Rui, "Master Zong, are you okay with coming here so early?"
Zong Rui looked at his hands. They had long knuckles and fair skin, so the fingertips were stained with a little rouge, which was particularly obvious.
In addition, the maid mentioned the word "Ms. Ming" earlier, and it was already clear what he was doing before.
Zong Rui frowned unconsciously.
He was also a son of an aristocratic family. As the eldest son of the clan, he married a wife early. Since his family members were not allowed to leave the capital, he also had two concubines to serve him. He was not disgusted with this kind of thing.
But, it doesn’t seem right to indulge in beauty on someone else’s territory and when the other person’s intentions are unclear, right?
"It's rare for Young Master Yang to come to Baimen Gorge. I would like to show my friendship to the landlord. Please take a look around."
"Watching you train troops?"
Yang Shu said it casually, but Zong Rui thought about it seriously: "We are going to the military camp now. The training time has passed, why not tomorrow?"
"I'm just talking casually." Yang Shu said lazily, "Come all the way to see a group of big men. There's nothing wrong with me!"
"..." Zong Rui asked tentatively, "What about the girl?"
Yang Shu showed a fascinated expression, but quickly corrected his expression and said, "There's nothing interesting to see."
Oh. Zong Rui glanced at the next door.
The topic cannot be continued, what should I do?
Zong Rui thought for a while and had no choice but to use a trick.
"As for Senior Brother Ling, the young general would like to talk to Young Master Yang. We are both in the northwest, so there will inevitably be friction. Let's talk it over first to avoid trouble in the future, don't you think?"
Yang Shu slowly took a sip of tea and looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Zong, are you finally going to draw a path?" (To be continued)
