Shi Yuling sneered disdainfully: "So what if we investigate? Can Xuanji Pavilion still succeed?"
Shi Xiang's brows were tight and his calm look made people very protective: "Looking at the purpose of punishing the evil envoys, I want to share 60% of the profits before I am willing to intervene. If we fail to succeed, do we really want to share the profits with them?"
"It's useless for Xuanji Pavilion to ask for cinnabar. Even if it succeeds, it will be sold to us." Shiyan doesn't want to talk about this; "You guys go back to the inn, I want to go shopping."
"Are you going to hook up with a man again?" Shi Yan just pretended not to hear.
This was her first time to visit the Ming Dynasty. It was very quiet at night, and even the air was fresher than in southern Xinjiang.
She was walking alone on the street, when a few naughty men walked towards her, teased her with a few erotic jokes and left.
"The children of Na Liao don't even dare to bully good women." Shi Yan looked at the backs of the men leaving in amusement.
"Are you a good woman?"
Suddenly there was a sound in the darkness. Shiyan looked over and saw a young man walking out of the darkness.
"Wuhen? Why are you here?" Xiyan was a little surprised, and ran over quickly, pulling him to a secret place: "The Ghost Pavilion was taken away by the Xuanji Pavilion, I thought you had died in the hands of the Xuanji Pavilion
.”
Wuhen didn't want to talk about his own affairs at all, and looked at Xiyan condescendingly: "You want to plot against Xuanji Pavilion?"
Token frowned in displeasure: "Are you following me?"
Knowing that she wouldn't tell, Wuhen kindly reminded: "Don't get yourself involved."
He originally didn't understand how he could be involved in Zizang Xuanji Pavilion when he was just on a normal mission.
At first he thought someone in the Ghost Pavilion was trying to mess with him.
But after seeing what Xuanji Pavilion did to Ghost Pavilion, he quickly figured it out.
I'm afraid that this frame-up was self-directed and staged by Xuanji Pavilion from beginning to end, and the purpose was to provide an excuse to eradicate the Ghost Pavilion.
If you can't afford to offend him, it's better to hide away.
"Since you are still alive, then come with me. The Gu clan is in a bit of a mess right now, but I can still find a place for you to stay. How about that?"
"No need, I already have a boss."
Shi Yan was surprised and said: "Who is it? Xuanji Pavilion?"
"Wander slowly by yourself, see you later." Wuhen didn't want to say, and the figure disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Shi Yan was left alone, a little confused: "I'm going to stop this, no one can tell me about my boss? Didn't he take refuge in the Xuanji Pavilion? It's impossible. The Xuanji Pavilion is very active in the Ming Dynasty. Who can protect you except the Xuanji Pavilion?
Zhou Quan? Could it be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
But that's not right. If Wuhen had taken refuge with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he move freely outside?
He couldn't think of it, and Shiyan didn't bother to think about it. The relationship between her and Wuhen was very subtle. If they were friends, they were a little stranger than friends.
It was as if Wuhen was unwilling to reveal anything to her during this meeting, and she was unwilling to reveal anything to Wuhen.
But if they were strangers, they were more intimate than strangers. She didn't want Wuhen to die, and Wuhen didn't want to see her die.
She once met Wuhen, who was at his most despondent, at her most miserable moment.
Su Qing was still drawing drawings, and the table next to him was piled with books.
Bailiyu opened the door and came in. Su Qing looked up at him and ignored him.
"This is...a water channel construction drawing?" Now that her drawing had taken shape, Baili Yu could see what she was drawing.
Su Qing hummed and suddenly smelled a familiar aroma.
She almost reflexively leaned into his chest and smelled it.
"where have you been?"
Meeting her questioning gaze, Bailiyu actually felt a little nervous.
It is obvious that he has not done anything well, so how can he feel as nervous as if he was being interrogated by his wife in a foster care room?
Also, the smell on her body is very light. He just picked up a little bit after taking a walk. She can smell it?
"Ahem, I went to see those people from the Gu tribe." Bailiyu didn't dare not tell the truth and said, "Those maids are all Gu people."
"Gu man? The same thing as the monster that entered the palace to assassinate me?" Su Qing instinctively did not doubt him.
Bailiyu nodded: "This time it's a finished product. I don't know how its combat power compares to that monster before. I haven't fought against them."
"What are the people from the Gu tribe doing here with the Gu people?"
Seeing the worry flashing in her eyes, Bai Liyu thought carefully and guessed what she was worried about. His mood was a bit subtle: "I have informed the commander of the imperial army to step up the protection of my father's safety, and the Duke has also arranged manpower."
Su Qing's eyebrows relaxed a little and she smiled at Baili Yu; "Thank you."
Bailiyu: "..."
Why are you being polite to him?
"Instead of saying thank you, you should think more about it." Bai Liyu walked towards the inner room, taking off his clothes.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Qing asked puzzledly.
"In addition to having a father, you also have a husband." Looking at the man's unruly and seemingly resentful eyes, Su Qing smiled knowingly: "Husband, I'll get you some water to wash up."
"Go." Baili Yu was not polite.
Su Qing went out to fetch water, and Ning Liu came forward with Wuhen.
"Princess, this person said he has something to report to you."
Su Qing asked Ning Liu to go down. Seeing that Wuhen's face was not very good, he wondered: "Not found?"
"Their target is Xuanji Pavilion, and this time they are here for Xuanji." Wuhen's expression was not very friendly: "Their business cooperation with Xuanji Pavilion is a trap."
He would not tell Su Qing that he deliberately wanted to quietly enter and leave the Three Princes' Mansion to give Su Qing a show of strength.
As a result, Ning Liu was caught without even entering the yard.
"I understand, you can go back and rest."
Wuhen took a leisurely look at Su Qing's back, then turned around and Ning Liu came forward again.
"Please." Very polite.
Wuhen gave him a cold look: "Did you smell the blood on my body?"
"It smells like medicine."
In fact, it is the smell of blood, but the smell of blood on Wuhen's body is very light. If he can detect it even if it is so light, he must be a person who is very sensitive to the smell of blood.
And such a person's identity cannot be just an ordinary yard servant.
Wuhen's intuition is very sharp, so of course Ning Liu wants to mislead him.
...
Chunlan came back from Sanli Village and brought a letter to Su Qing. It was a letter sent by Yuan Ruo, who had gained the trust of General Guanzhong and was now working for him.
Also, the generals in Guanzhong have taken refuge in Bailimao.
He found that they were making moves, but he had not found out what they wanted to do specifically.
The days passed, and finally the day of the auction arrived.
Many forces came this time, and even the people from Beast City came to Kyoto again the day before the auction started.
The venue for the auction has been prepared since the drought, and it is still Shanshui Manor.
The style of Shanshui Manor is high-end yet elegant, and besides the imperial palace in Kyoto, only Shanshui Manor has enough space to accommodate the people who come to the auction.
