Shangguan Yu rested in the inn for a few days. Taking this opportunity, Bai Ling left alone and no one noticed anything unusual.
After searching for two days, there was still no trace of Mr. Shang. Bai Ling simply waited and waited in Cining Palace.
Sure enough, every time the Queen Mother needed to take black pearls as medicine, Mr. Shang would appear in Cining Palace.
However, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was bound to be present, and Mr. Shang also entered and exited the Cining Palace in a soft sedan chair, under the heavy protection of the imperial guards.
Resisting the urge to take Mr. Shang away immediately, Bai Ling kept waiting in the space, and followed Mr. Shang away when he was about to do so.
What surprised Bai Ling was that Mr. Shang was not imprisoned in the palace, or even in the capital.
After the soft sedan was carried into the imperial study, it was carried directly out of the secret passage and all the way to a seemingly inconspicuous village on the outskirts of Beijing. This was where Mr. Shang was placed under house arrest.
Bai Ling didn't show up until Mr. Shang was about to take a rest and had driven away the people in the house.
"Master, I finally found you." When Bai Ling saw Mr. Shang, he suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.
Although Mr. Shang received a very high salary in the Western Han Dynasty, he must have been very unaccustomed to losing his freedom.
"Haha, I knew that my good apprentice would definitely be able to find me." Mr. Shang stroked his beard, smiled softly, and pointed to the top of his head.
Bai Ling understood that there must be experts sent by the emperor to guard the outside.
"Master, I will find a way to rescue you as soon as possible." Bai Ling knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he could only keep the story short: "Everything is fine in Yaowang Valley. I have discussed with several elders and invited martial arts masters to lurk in the Western Han Dynasty.
country."
"Girl, don't act rashly. I can't leave just yet." Mr. Shang felt aggrieved. "The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty wanted me to make a poison for him. I don't know what the purpose is, but it is definitely not a good thing. I must first stabilize it."
Stay with him, otherwise I am afraid that Yaowang Valley will be implicated."
"Master, Yaowang Valley has been implicated."
Bai Ling smiled bitterly. It was hard to hide anything at this time, so he had to tell what happened in Yaowang Valley.
Seeing that Mr. Shang was on the verge of a rage, he quickly took out a pot of wine and said: "Master, take a sip of wine to calm down the shock. We can't get angry. If you scare the people outside, your apprentice will be trapped here."
, who can save you?"
"You've gone too far to bully someone. You even blackmailed my disciple to do such a cruel thing! Do you really think that I, Yaowanggu, are easy to bully?" Mr. Shang's voice was extremely low, but his anger was clear to everyone.
Can feel the Tao.
After taking a few sips of wine, Mr. Shang realized that the wine was made by Bai Ling himself.
"You're serious, I know the master is hungry for this. Remember to bring more when you come here next time. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go quickly, don't delay my old man's sleep."
Hearing footsteps outside, Mr. Shang could only hold back what he wanted to say, lest Bai Ling be trapped here too.
He casually took a pill of Medicine King and gave it to Bai Ling. Mr. Shang told him: "This is the secret medicine of Medicine King Valley. Even if I am transferred, you can find me as long as you take this Medicine King. Without further explanation, you can
You’ll know after taking it.”
"Well, take care, master." Bai Ling quickly walked behind the bed and ducked into the space.
The moment Bai Ling disappeared into thin air, there was a knock on the door.
"What are your orders from Mr. Shang?" the person outside the door asked.
"Tell your mother! Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep!" Mr. Shang cursed angrily, sat down on the bed, and drank wine.
Something happened in Yaowang Valley, and as the owner of the valley, he was not there. It was a shame for his disciples and grandsons.
After finishing a pot of wine, Mr. Shang stood up and came to the last place where Bai Ling stood.
I searched carefully and found nothing out of the ordinary. There was no secret passage or anything like it.
Thinking about Bai Ling's appearance again, it seems so sudden...
"Could it be that... Ling'er is the person our ancestors are waiting for?" Mr. Shang muttered to himself, twirling his beard.
After Bai Ling confirmed that Mr. Shang was not in danger, he drove the space to leave, but he did not hear what Mr. Shang said.
After returning to the inn, Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu entered the space, discussed it for a while, and decided to go see Mr. Shang together tomorrow night.
For some things, it would be more beneficial for them to have more clues.
Moreover, it was not easy for Mr. Shang to stay in the Western Han Dynasty for a long time. If he refused to cooperate, or if the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty felt that he had no use value, he would definitely kill him and silence him.
At dawn the next day, Shangguan Yu and Bai Ling went out again.
Since he is using his identity as the Duan family, he naturally has to put on a good show and discuss business matters with the other party.
Those pearls I gave to the other party last time, in fact, this transaction was destined to be completed.
After receiving the deposit and making an appointment to inventory the goods, the balance will be paid in full, and there will be no further mishaps in this transaction.
"After the money and goods are settled, let the caravan transport the jade back to the Eastern Han Dynasty first." Bai Ling said after changing Shangguan Yu's medicine.
Shangguan Yu's injury was not serious. The wound had scabbed over the past few days of recuperation.
"Do as Ling'er said." Shangguan Yu had no objection to these matters.
Bai Ling didn't want to implicate innocent people, and Shangguan Yu naturally didn't want the Duan family to suffer here.
Moreover, the couple stayed here in the name of inspecting the business, so it was convenient for them to move around without any worries.
"I will ask Nian Xia and Jian Qiu to rent a small courtyard later. Since we are going to stay for more than a month, it is always inconvenient to stay in an inn." Bai Ling said again.
"That's fine." Shangguan Yu agreed.
There were people from all walks of life in the inn. Every time someone stared at Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu had the urge to beat them up.
But Shangguan Yu wouldn't say this. When you go out, you can't avoid meeting all kinds of people.
Shangguan Yu couldn't speak, so he asked Bai Ling to wear a veil, fearing that Bai Ling would laugh at his pettiness.
Once the couple reaches a consensus, things will naturally be much easier to handle.
When the caravan left, the two of them had already lived in a small rented courtyard. It would be much more convenient to leave at night.
Naturally, the two of them have found the whereabouts of Mr. Shang, and the most important thing is to meet with Mr. Shang.
"I didn't get to drink your wedding wine. As a master, I am incompetent." Shang Lao drank the wine Bai Ling brought and didn't ask a single question about why they could come and go freely.
"Master, just remember that you owe me a makeup gift, and you will have to make up for it more heavily later." Bai Ling said shamelessly: "Although I have not visited the master's private treasury, the master must have a lot of treasures, right?"
"Well, those things will belong to you sooner or later. You can choose whatever you like. Even if you empty it, the master will have no problem with it." Mr. Shang didn't care much about these external things.
"I took it seriously, master, don't regret it." Bai Ling's eyes were bright, even brighter than the lights.
"Why did you fall in love with this money man?" Mr. Shang looked at Shangguan Yu and shook his head.
"Ling'er is the best woman, including her money-obsessed look." Shangguan Yu said with deep pride: "The Prince of Han's palace raises the Zixiao Army, and they are very poor."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you kid is really good at scheming. You married a God of Wealth and went back. If you leave the Medicine King Valley in the hands of this girl, you will have to make ends meet." Mr. Shang sighed.
"Come on, old man, don't beat around the bush. Let's get down to business quickly, unless you want to be locked up here forever." Bai Ling mercilessly interrupted Mr. Shang's nonsense and asked seriously: "Master, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty asked for configuration
What does the poison do? Are you working on developing it?"
"Bah! Why should I develop it for the emperor if he doesn't tell me what it will be used for? If you have the ability, it will depend on me for the rest of your life!" Mr. Shang snorted, not showing any respect for the king. (To be continued)
