Tang Yi didn't know if Ximen Qingkong, who was like a piece of wood, saw everyone's eyes and understood everyone's eyes, but she saw it and understood it.
Whether he likes it or not, Tang Yi knows that today's Ximen Qingkong has really become a big joke.
Maybe it's not just a joke, but also a lot of sympathy and pity. She herself is a person of sympathy and pity.
She didn't know if Ximen Qingkong, the number one master on the alchemy list, needed such sympathy and compassion.
But she really doesn't think it's necessary for Ximen Qingkong to appear here. Not only should she not appear here, the best way is to leave Xuan Wei's side, leave completely, and never appear next to Xuan Wei again.
In that case, maybe everyone just thinks that this man paid in vain and did not get the results he wanted.
But if he is still around Xuan Wei, it will really become a joke. Everyone will think he is a joke when they see him. His aloofness will not make people sympathize, but will only attract more jokes.
She couldn't imagine how Ximen Qingkong would face everyone who saw him in the future if he continued to stay by Xuanwei's side, everyone he saw day and night...
On the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, the bridal chamber was quiet and quiet. A newlywed couple sat side by side on the couch. The man's face was expressionless, and the woman whose face was covered by a bead curtain was also indifferent.
Outside the bridal chamber, Ximen Qingkong still stood guard outside.
Tang Yi, who was not far away, watched this scene quietly.
In the bridal chamber, Xuanwei raised her hand and took off the phoenix crown herself.
Hao Cheng slowly looked back at her, and she looked back at him.
This was the first time he saw Xuan Wei's true appearance. He was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised. He had heard that Xuan Wei was beautiful, but it was still a bit beyond his expectation.
Beautiful! She is indeed beautiful, very beautiful. She does not look as old as the rumors say. She still looks young. She just has a very mature temperament, which is not comparable to that of a young woman. She is well maintained!
Xuan Wei stood up and walked to the table, put down the phoenix crown, turned around and faced the man sitting on the couch and said: "Many things have to be done out of necessity, and I have wronged you. Don't worry, I will make it up to you in the future."
"Compensate? How to compensate? Compensate with glory and wealth? I know what you are doing. I have no choice. I don't dare to resist. I can only obey your arrangements." Hao Cheng raised his hand and patted his side, signaling to her.
He sat over and said, "You're not bad looking, and you don't have a certain style, which won't turn off my appetite. You are familiar with the matter of men and women, and I am also familiar with it. We are all familiar with the road, so don't mess around and come to the bridal chamber."
Xuan Wei had no intention of moving, "Jin and Wei are fighting. We can't waste a moment. I still have many things to deal with. You should rest early." After that, she turned and left.
The door opened, and Xuan Wei, dressed in new clothes, came out, nodded slightly to Ximen Qingkong, "Let's go!"
Ximen Qingkong followed her away, and Tang Yi, not far away, witnessed all this.
Hao Cheng, who was sitting on the couch in the room, closed his eyes and said nothing, and sat quietly all night.
From that night on, Xuan Wei never entered his room again and lived in another courtyard in the palace.
…
In the thatched cottage courtyard, Guan Fangyi hurried to Yuan Gang's yard, went directly into the living room, closed the door, turned around and asked, "Is there news from Master Tao again?"
Yuan Gang nodded and showed the letter to her. Although the other party couldn't understand it, he just wanted the other party to verify it.
Guan Fangyi really couldn't understand it, so she just checked the handwriting, raised her eyes from the paper, and asked, "What are your instructions from Master Tao?"
Yuan Gang: "First of all, the changes in the situation of all parties caused by the battle between Jin and Wei. The focus is on the response strategy of the prince's side. A briefing must be made and circulated to the Taoist Lord."
Guan Fangyi nodded: "What else?"
Yuan Gang: "There is also Shao Pingbo..."
"Shao Pingbo?" Guan Fangyi said in shock, "Master Dao is still thinking about him in the Holy Land? He really has a leisurely mind."
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao has confirmed that Shao Pingbo was the mastermind behind this shocking incident in the Wei Kingdom."
"Ah? It's him!" Guan Fangyi was surprised. This sudden change caused great harm to Weiguo. Shao Pingbo had been hiding for so long and there was no movement. When there was movement, he made such a big move. It was really shocking.
"No wonder Master Dao refuses to let him go. I don't know how many families he will destroy this time. This man is indeed a scourge. Master Dao is thinking about him, so he still wants to get rid of him, right?"
Yuan Gang: "Yes, keeping this man will be a great harm. Master Tao means that we should take the opportunity to get rid of him."
Guan Fangyi muttered: "It is good to get rid of him, but this guy is very difficult to deal with. Master Dao himself could not get rid of him. He hid behind the Jin State and was protected by the power of the Jin State. Even Dao Dao
I can't do anything to him while I'm here, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us."
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao naturally has considerations, and he will not let us do things that are impossible to do. Master Dao judged that Shao Pingbo had been dormant for so long before taking action, and he would not be willing to fail. There is a high possibility that he would personally command the rebellion.
The method of causing chaos will definitely not end as soon as it is launched. There will be follow-up. It is very likely that he himself has left Jin. Once he leaves Jin, he will be in the capital of Qi if he is not in the capital of Wei. Wherever there is trouble, Shao Pingbo may
Where."
"If Shao Pingbo has left Jin, now would be a good time to take action."
Guan Fangyi hesitated: "Even if Master Dao's judgment is accurate, Shao Pingbo is responsible for the rebellion and will definitely hide his whereabouts. It is not easy to dig him out with our power, and the Jin State must have sent considerable force to protect him.
, I’m afraid our power won’t be so easy to attack.”
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao knows this. We don't need to do this ourselves. The battle between Jin and Wei involves the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Jin..."
Guan Fangyi suddenly realized something and interrupted: "That's right! Wei Guo and Qi Guo will definitely not let him go if they find out. The two countries will use their national power to deal with it, which is much safer than us."
Yuan Gang nodded, "I will contact Xuan Wei, who will be in charge of the Wei State side. You are familiar with Qi Jing, and you will contact Haoyuntu, who will be in charge of the Qi State side. Remember, this matter must be kept confidential, and try to avoid letting people know that it is related to us. You can't
Let the people in Wuliang Mountain know."
"Okay!" Guan Fangyi responded.
The two continued to discuss the details and quickly acted on their own after the discussions were completed.
…
On the vast grassland, when the 100,000-strong marching army was taking a temporary rest, the general came quickly as soon as a message was sent. He handed a letter to the general of the army, Ba Yuancheng, and loudly reported: "General, Your Majesty has an urgent edict! King Haoyun of the West Courtyard
Sheng and King Haoqi of Jin have conspired to rebel and are leading the rebels to besiege the capital. The capital is in danger. Your Majesty ordered the generals to speed up their firepower and rescue them!"
"What?" Ba Yuancheng, who was gnawing on the roasted lamb, was so surprised that the bones in his hands fell to the ground. He stood up suddenly, snatched the letter and checked it.
A group of generals sitting around the fire were also shocked and stood up one after another.
After reading the letter, Ba Yuancheng stamped his feet and beat his chest and said: "I have known for a long time that the King of the West Courtyard is wrong, and I don't want to really cause chaos. The army immediately set off and rushed to the capital to rescue him. Hurry!"
"Wait a minute!" A general stopped him and said in a deep voice: "General, calm down, why do my subordinates feel something strange about this matter? There are three major factions around the capital, and there are three major factions to protect them. How can the rebels easily cause chaos? This matter will
Is there no fraud? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to withdraw the troops rashly?”
Ba Yuancheng frowned and quickly ordered someone to send over the original secret letter. He carefully checked the emperor's seal and found that there seemed to be no problem.
After everyone saw it, they thought there was nothing wrong with it.
"The King of Xiyuan and the King of Jin are plotting rebellion at this time, and they are afraid that the Jin Kingdom is cooperating behind them."
"If the capital really does something wrong and puts His Majesty in danger, I'm afraid we will be punished and die."
"I just think there is something fishy happening at this time. Everyone, if we withdraw our troops at this time and our Qi State does not rush to rescue in time, the Wei State will be in danger. Once the Wei State collapses, our Qi State will probably fall into a hard war."
"If our country of Qi has too much time to take care of itself, how can we care about the defense of the country? General, if you delay the rescue, you are rebelling against the decree!"
After the generals started talking, Ba Yuancheng stamped his feet and ordered: "Ask the marshal urgently for confirmation! The army retreated, and at the same time, quickly contacted the capital to confirm whether the information was correct!"
Following the order, the resting army quickly set off.
On the way out, in accordance with the order, in order to distinguish themselves from the rebels, the soldiers all wore white cloth on their heads.
…
There was peace inside and outside Qijing. Shao Pingbo, who was in the courtyard pavilion, held a secret report and snorted coldly, "Marriage? The prince of Qi marries Xuan Wei? Haha, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Weiguo, these two sides are really going to any lengths."
Shao Sansheng said: "Isn't Ximen Qingkong, the number one master on the alchemy list, Xuan Wei's lover? How can Ximen Qingkong agree to such a thing?"
Shao Pingbo: "The number one master? It is said that he carries a sword and follows a widow's butt all day long. How high can such a man be? He is just a common man. What else can he do besides fighting to the death? Ximen Qingkong
…”
He tapped his fingers on the table and squinted his eyes slightly, "I want to see how deep the love between these infatuated men and women is to stabilize people's hearts? Hum, Shao will give them a big gift. I hope this top master on the Dan List can
Save your life!"
At this moment, someone ran up to the attic and handed over a letter, reporting: "Master, someone suddenly threw a letter outside the door. The letter stated that it was for the Master."
Is it for Shao Pingbo? In other words, does anyone know that Shao Pingbo is hiding here?
Shao Pingbo and Shao Sansheng were startled at the same time, and Shao Sansheng immediately asked: "Who is it?"
The visitor said: "As soon as the letter appeared, we immediately went out to check it. People were coming and going on the street. We don't know who threw the letter."
Shao Sansheng immediately said to Shao Pingbo: "Young Master, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Shao Pingbo, who was deep in thought, raised his hand to stop, and reached out to ask for the letter.
Shao Sansheng said: "Be careful of fraud, let me check it first."
Shao Pingbo didn't talk nonsense to him, and directly reached out and pulled the letter into his hand. When he saw the handwriting on the envelope, he found that it was indeed addressed to him.
He immediately tore open the envelope and took a look at it with shaking hands.
After reading the letter, he slowly closed it and waved to signal those who came to report the letter to leave first. Then he said to Shao Sansheng: "Open the courtyard gate and welcome the distinguished guests."
Shao Sansheng tried to ask, "Who is it?"
Shao Pingbo glanced at him coldly, "If someone comes in, don't stop them, just bring them here."
Shao Sansheng shut up, asked no more questions, bowed slightly, and quickly turned around and left.
