In a pavilion, several lights illuminated the room.
Shao Pingbo, who was busy writing before the case, would clench his fists and cough from time to time, and then resume writing after coughing.
Shao Sansheng came over, helped him change into hot tea, and looked at what was written on the table. A line of headlines stood out: Jin Tu Tian Xia Zhu!
Then look at Shao Pingbo, who coughs from time to time, with a worried look on his face.
He knew very well that the eldest son's body was suffering from the root cause of the disease and he needed to be nursed back to health without worrying too much.
When I was in Beizhou, I had Master Shu to help me with the treatment and the elixir nourished me, so the problem wasn't that big.
After leaving Beizhou, it is not so convenient, especially after arriving here.
Looking at the eldest son’s white hair on his temples under the light, and the heart-wrenching coughing sound from time to time, he was already like this, still consuming his mind and energy, and he couldn’t bear it, so he advised: “Eldest son, your health is important, you just just
Come on, don’t worry so much, let’s take a rest first!”
Shao Pingbo stopped writing again and coughed twice, then shook his head and said: "Time waits for no one. We have no basis for a foothold here, and it may not be safe here. The news of our coming here cannot be kept secret for too long. If it is delayed, it will easily lead to trouble."
Before dawn tomorrow, this watch must be presented to Tai Shuxiong, and it must be seen by Tai Shuxiong as soon as possible!"
Tai Shuxiong is the current emperor of Jin.
Shao Sansheng hesitated to speak. If he didn't have confidence in this eldest son, he really wanted to ask, Tai Shuxiong is not a mediocre person who can be easily bewitched. Can he really gain a foothold in the Jin Kingdom with just one appearance?
?
Under the lamp, Shao Pingbo coughed again, collected his thoughts for a moment, and then continued to write at his desk...
It was daybreak, and it had been raining all night.
There is a haze between heaven and earth, covering the vast capital city of Qi State.
At the gate of the city, traders and footmen were coming and going, and cars and horses were coming and going.
After the disguise, Niu Youdao walked alone from outside the city with a sword on his back, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. His pace was neither fast nor slow, calm and unhurried, not affected by the weather, and had a somewhat elegant charm.
The drizzle soaked the roads outside the city and made them muddy, while the stone roads inside the city were washed clean.
Under the eaves of a shop in the city, Guan Fangyi, who had disguised herself, was hiding from the rain and waiting for Niu Youdao's arrival.
She entered the city first and contacted Wuliangshan's eyes and ears here. One reason was to have people meet Niu Youdao to help take care of the birds. She also wanted Wuliangshan to quickly contact people from various places to help Niu Youdao connect with various places.
re-established.
The news from Dachan Mountain is very important. Niu Youdao must grasp the progress of things in Beizhou as soon as possible to prevent changes.
Once there are changes, he must respond immediately.
It has to be said that the intelligence network Niu Youdao invested a large amount of money to build when he was not very rich has increasingly shown Niu Youdao's foresight. The large amount of money invested every year can best reflect the effect at this time, so that
Niu Youdao can contact various places as soon as possible.
Wuliangshan, which had sufficient financial support, also calmed down, and the nature of the sect, which was struggling to survive and compete for profit, completely changed.
Seeing Niu Youdao walking in the rain, Guan Fangyi also held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked over, walking alongside him, and whispered, "It has been arranged and will be delivered in half an hour."
Niu Youdao hummed.
Guan Fangyi asked: "Where to go?"
Niu Youdao: "We'll know when we get there."
Guan Fangyi: "What on earth are you going to do? It's just the two of us. I'm very scared. Do you know?"
Niu Youdao: "You will know when you get there."
"Bitch!" Guan Fangyi spat softly, her teeth itching with hatred.
…
In Fufang Garden, a simple old man holding an umbrella carried a cloth bag and walked to the gate of Fufang Garden, looking around.
A man immediately appeared at the door and asked, "What are you doing?"
The old man picked up the cloth bag and said, "Someone asked me to give this gift to Mr. Yu Cang."
The man frowned and asked, "Who gave it to me?"
The old man turned around and said, "I was following you just now."
The man walked out of the door and looked at the street where the old man was looking. Occasionally there were people coming and going, but nothing unusual was seen. He turned back and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me!"
The old man was obedient and handed the things over.
When the things were handed over, the man grabbed his wrist. After casting a spell to investigate, he found that he was indeed not a monk, but just an ordinary person, so he let go of his hand, took the cloth bag, and waved the old man away.
He also knew that since the person behind the scenes was determined to hide his identity, nothing could be found out from this old man.
Carrying the cloth bag, he entered and turned into the pavilion on one side. The man opened the cloth bag and checked. It was impossible to put everything into Mr. Yu Cang's hands.
Especially things with unknown origins must be clarified first.
The cloth bag was opened, and there was a lacquer box inside. Open the box carefully to prevent any mechanism inside.
Once the box was opened, it was safe and without any settings. There was something unexpected inside, a human head!
There is another letter.
The man frowned, took the letter, and then raised the head to look at it. After reading it, he was shocked. He clicked the box and walked away quickly.
…
Outside the palace, Niu Youdao stood with an umbrella, waiting for someone to come in and report the news.
In the far corner, Guan Fangyi hid and watched. She didn't know what Niu Youdao meant by running back to the palace. Did he need to ask the Qi court to help him destroy it?
How could the Qi court do such a thing? Some of the evidence counts, but to outsiders, it doesn’t count when presented with it. You say those killers who are Yu Cang are Yu Cang’s people?
Who is Yu Cang? How could the Qi court act rashly?
Besides, wouldn't you be asking for trouble if you do this? The matter involves serious matters, can Qi State let you go? It's not like you don't know the pros and cons.
Guan Fangyi felt that Niu Youdao couldn't be so stupid, so she couldn't figure out what medicine Niu Youdao was selling in his gourd.
A guard came out from the palace gate and led Niu Youdao in.
Inside, another eunuch led Niu Youdao to the same simple townhouse room as last time, where the palace guards rested.
After waiting in the house for too long, there was a sound of footsteps, and Bu Xun showed up and walked in.
Bu Xun came quite quickly this time, because he was also wondering why he came back not long after he left, and why he came here again?
"What's going to happen to you? Is Shao Pingbo still hiding in the city?" Bu Xun asked when they met.
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards the person behind him.
Bu Xun raised his hand and dusted it off, and a group of followers immediately retreated.
There were two people left in the room, Niu Youdao chuckled: "Shao Pingbo? You've been gone for so long, I advise you not to hope to catch him anymore."
Bu Xun walked to the side, sat down on the bench, put his hands on his knees and said, "You won't come to me if you are fine. Tell me, what else do you want to use me for?"
Niu Youdao also walked to the side and sat down: "Use? This is too ugly to say. In Qi Jing, no one dares to take advantage of you."
Bu Xun: "Don't go around, come when you want, leave when you want. This palace has almost become your home. If you talk about things directly, if you can't make sense, I have to show you some color."
"In such a big family, we really don't have the blessings to enjoy. We don't need colors, and I don't have a dyeing room." Niu Youdao laughed, then suddenly his smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "General manager, I was wrong.
"
Bu Xun was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully: "It's not like you to come here in the morning and admit your mistake when we meet. Why is there such a mistake? What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao: "I shouldn't lie to you."
The corner of Bu Xun's mouth twitched. He couldn't believe the honesty of the other party. He suddenly felt like a weasel giving New Year's greetings to a chicken, but he still couldn't help asking: "What did you lie to me?"
Niu Youdao: "Actually, those two poems were written by me."
"..." Bu Xun became speechless and asked, "Does it matter what you wrote? Didn't you already reject Mr. Yucang? Why, do you really want to be a teacher for the prince and grandson?"
Niu Youdao: "If you are really willing to leave the prince and grandson to me for training, you are not afraid that I will teach you wrongly, and I have no objection. Chief Manager, what I mean is that I thought about it carefully on the way. Mr. Yucang is highly respected and capable.
The reason for choosing me is to give me face, and to have this opportunity to get acquainted... To put it bluntly, I regret it, I am willing to be the teacher of Mr. Yu Cang's nephew."
Bu Xun couldn't laugh or cry, "How about you go back on your word like this? Doesn't it make it clear that you were lying to him before? Besides, if you are willing to do it, go for it. It's not like you don't know the road to Fufang Garden, so you can find it yourself.
You know Fufangyuan better than me, right? Why did you come to the palace to find me? Do you really think I have nothing to do and have plenty of time to chat with you?"
Niu Youdao: "You really have no objection?"
Bu Xun was surprised, "What can I say about your affairs?"
Niu Youdao: "Okay, Chief Manager, I'll go on my way right now. I apologize for disturbing you. Please take my leave!" After saying that, he stood up, cupped his hands and left.
"Wait!" Bu Xun waved to him, stood up, and said suspiciously: "You came to me just to ask me for this? Why does it sound wrong to me?"
Niu Youdao smiled dryly and said, "I'm not afraid that Mr. Yucang will misunderstand you."
"Misunderstood me? Misunderstood me for what?" Bu Xun was surprised.
Niu Youdao explained: "Look, it was because you were present last time that I didn't agree? This time you were not present, so I agreed. Isn't it easy for people to misunderstand?"
"..." Bu Xun was speechless. After understanding the meaning of his words, Yu Cang would misunderstand that Bu Xun or the palace was obstructing him.
Thinking about it, it seems that this is really what happened. He let this guy run away alone, and some things may not be clear.
Not long after, a carriage left the palace, accompanied by some plainclothes guards.
Bu Xun left the palace again and had to accompany Niu Youdao to Fufang Garden. Bu Xun, who was swaying slightly in the carriage, was a little confused. He glanced at Niu Youdao from time to time. Why did he feel like he was in the palace of Qi State?
The manager became someone's errand boy?
Not far from the palace gate, Niu Youdao said again: "Stop."
Bu Xun said angrily: "Do you have too many things to do?"
"There is someone else." Niu Youdao explained, opened the curtains, and waved to Guan Fangyi in the distance.
Guan Fangyi arrived, and after being blocked for a while, she got on the carriage. When she saw Bu Xun sitting there, she immediately sat aside cautiously.
Having stayed in Qijing for many years, I certainly know how powerful Bu Xun is. It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is inferior to ten thousand people in Qijing. I am subconsciously frightened by Bu Xun's power.
"We are all our own, there is nothing to hide, just take it off." Niu Youdao gestured to Guan Fangyi to take off the mask.
Bu Xun snorted slightly, seemingly saying, who is your friend?
However, as soon as his eyes touched Guan Fangyi's true appearance after she took off the mask, she pursed her lips again and said with a strange air, "You two are really inseparable!"
