Longkodo entered the corner gate, and all the guards around him were stopped. Only one person followed the guards and walked forward.
After passing through countless doors and turning around several corridors, I arrived at the Fourth Master's courtyard, which I had visited before.
The yard was not brightly lit. There was a teenage boy wearing a cloak standing in the corridor, directing people around. You could still hear his voice coming faintly, "...keep your voice down, don't make any noise."
Elder brother and third elder brother. No matter what the reason is, guard the houses of the two elder brothers for me. If something goes wrong, be careful of the guy eating on your shoulders."
Only then did Longkodo realize that he was being presumptuous. He suddenly remembered that every time he passed through a door, someone seemed to be passing by him. Now that he thought about it, he was checking whether there was anything dangerous on him.
I originally thought that I would be 100% able to get on the Fourth Master's ship this time, but now I am a little unsure.
The young man I saw just now must be the eldest brother of the fourth master's house. Those words were not meant for the people below to hear, but were specifically meant to knock him down.
It is said that this grandson of the emperor is deeply favored by the emperor. Now it seems that there are indeed many good things about him.
The study is still the same study, and the decorations are still the same. The daffodils in the corner have been replaced by half-open plum blossom branches.
The fourth master didn't come slowly. He only raised his hand after entering the door, "Sit down. It's colder." He said to Su Peisheng, "Make a cup of the cold-repelling tea prepared by Fujin."
The tea made by Si Fujin himself is already regarded as the standard by which the disciples of the Fourth Master judge their importance in the heart of the Fourth Master.
If things go well, the fourth master may reward you with a cup of tea like this. If things don't go well, you can drink a cup of ordinary tea, which is considered good.
Such rumors have already appeared in the capital.
Longkodo was stunned for a moment after hearing Fourth Master's instructions, and then relaxed.
But he knew in his heart that just now the eldest brother was a powerful killing stick, and now the fourth master gave him sweet dates. This combination of kindness and power almost scared him to the point of holding his breath.
"Thank you Fourth Master for the reward." Long Keduo restrained his arrogance and became more disciplined.
The fourth master knew this well. At least it was definitely not a bad thing for him. Otherwise, with the past temperament of the third master of the Tong family, he would not have been so eager to do it.
So, he was not in a hurry at all.
But the fourth master is not in a hurry, and Longkodo cannot be in a hurry. "Is this servant here to ask what the fourth master means?"
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and said, "That's very polite."
He didn't express his position, nor did he say anything tendentious. He didn't even ask.
But Longkodo said quickly: "The emperor asked me to pay attention to my sixth uncle, me..."
This sixth uncle refers to Tong Guowei.
There was no unnecessary expression on Fourth Master's face. He knew what Longkodo meant.
The emperor asked Longko to pay more attention to Tong Guowei, because he wanted to capture Tong Guowei, but he also didn't want to kill the Tong family with a stick. After all, he was still the emperor's maternal family.
But when Longko came to ask himself, it wasn't that he really didn't know what to do. He came to surrender completely.
I think Lai Longkodo knew the quarrel between Lao Ba and Tong Guowei. The emperor wanted to capture Tong Guowei, which meant that it would not be good for Lao Ba.
If the eighth child is eliminated, then there really isn’t much suspense about the remaining people.
Although it is true, it is still difficult to predict until the matter is settled. But it cannot stop Longkodo's determination to follow the dragon's merits.
Fourth Master gently blew the... soy milk in the tea cup?
Yes! When I opened the lid of the tea bowl, I discovered that there was soy milk inside. Fujin must have gotten up, grinded the soy milk himself and asked someone to bring it over.
He took a sip and it tasted the same as always.
To be fair, Fourth Master doesn't like Longkodo. But if he doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that he can't be put to good use.
The fourth master said solemnly: "The emperor's errands should be handled well."
This is a nonsense statement that cannot be more nonsense.
But for Longkodo, it was tantamount to representing Fourth Master's acceptance.
The Fourth Master did not reprimand him for disclosing the Emperor's errands in private, so he accepted him.
After being sent out with gifts all the time, Longkodo's heart was still bubbling.
Lin Yutong was wrapped in quilt, dozing off and waiting for Fourth Master to come back. About half past two, he really came back.
"What are you doing up?" Fourth Master tucked Lin Yutong into the bed, "Go to sleep. Nothing happened? Longkodo must have smelled something terrible, so he came here to show his merit."
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, "What does this mean? Could it be..." The emperor already had an intention.
"Are you overthinking it?" Fourth Master's voice came faintly, "I have thought about it too. But I am more worried that this is another trap."
"What I mean is that I'm afraid that the emperor is testing you." Lin Yutong frowned. He said in his heart, the emperor is really amazing. Now all these princes and elder brothers are scared out of their wits. No one knows what the emperor means.
Really. Even the fourth master is only worried now that he might accidentally fall into the emperor's trap.
The fourth master turned over and said, "The emperor dared to use Longkodo, so he must know this person in detail. So, wouldn't it be possible that the emperor didn't know that he had shown kindness to me several times? This time, such a task will be carried out even more
Call him. This is obviously unfavorable news to Lao Ba. With Longkodo's character, if he finds out, can he not sell it to himself? Then, will the emperor not know that he is coming? Therefore, I am a little afraid. I am afraid of the emperor.
Is Longkodo intentionally used to let him deliberately leak the news to me? This is just to see if he will jump out impatiently. To see if he will think that the end of Lao Ba is around the corner, and
Reveal what the Emperor thinks is his true face."
"So..." Lin Yutong rubbed the fourth master's frowned eyebrows with some distress.
The fourth master grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, "So, how should we live our lives? We can't tell the emperor clearly about Long Keduo's visit. That would be too false. We also have to tell the emperor. It's impossible to hide such things.
I have an ulterior motive. Try to deal with it as lightly as possible. Don’t hide it, and don’t explain it in detail. It’s better to be more candid.”
Lin Yutong felt exhausted after listening to it.
Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong into his arms, "Go to sleep! Go to sleep. These things are nothing to be honest about. No matter how big the temptation is, as long as you are unmoved and can stand firm, nothing will go wrong. At least you can live in peace.
Passed."
Before Li Yutong fell asleep, he thought, Master, you still underestimate yourself.
There was a fuss in the middle of the night, and the whole family got up late the next day.
While we were eating, Su Peisheng came in and said, "Master, Master Jiu is here."
"Who?" Lin Yutong dropped his chopsticks. The sun must be out in the west. Why is Master Jiu here?
Of course, Su Peisheng knew that it wasn't that his master didn't hear it, but that he just couldn't believe it.
He wouldn't be so indifferent and would repeat it again.
The Fourth Master nodded lightly, "Please invite the Ninth Master to the study."
Su Peisheng looked strange and said, "Master Jiu said that he hasn't had breakfast yet."
Is this what Mao means? He wants to come in and have breakfast with his fourth brother?
I don’t know if I’m hooking up with the wrong tendon! Fourth Master’s brows were so furrowed that he could kill a mosquito, “Then please come in. I can’t afford to have breakfast.”
Lin Yutong stood up. Speaking of which, she was also a member of her own family. She was a serious sister-in-law, not a shady concubine. It was nothing to come to the main courtyard.
But if you sit still, it would be a bit careless.
Master Jiu came in and saw Master Four sitting on the kang. He pointed at the position opposite and asked him to go there.
It’s really perfunctory.,
"Is something wrong?" Fourth Master asked.
"It's okay." Master Jiu grabbed the chopsticks, endured Master Fourth's annoying black face, and started eating.
The Fourth Master looked at Lao Jiu who stuffed a crystal dumpling into his mouth, and thought to himself, what's wrong with this? Why did you come to me if nothing happened?
Master Jiu looked at the Fourth Master with troubled eyes, he will have to stay here today... (. )
