"I'll look for it." Haozhen rummaged through a pile of documents in front of the case, found a book of decrees, and handed it to him.
Hao Yunsheng took the book and flipped through it quickly. It was indeed the emperor's order. The general meaning of it was that Qi State had a vast territory, and it would take a lot of time for Hao Zhen to count the imperial property across the country. In order to avoid setbacks and facilitate deployment, he directly sent Zhang Xingrui and others The people moved out of the west courtyard and put it directly under the control of Haozhen.
In other words, with this decree, Zhang Xingrui has become a real person of Haozhen and is no longer under the control of Haoyun Sheng.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Hao Zhen said from the sidelines: "Don't you know about this, Uncle Emperor? Give it to me. It stands to reason that the official documents will have arrived in the West Courtyard."
Hao Yunsheng closed the notebook with a tense expression. He really didn't know about this. The official document should have arrived at the West Courtyard. He probably didn't see it on the way. It wasn't an important matter. The West Courtyard wouldn't be alone. Send him a message about something trivial.
The key is that most people in the West Hospital don't know Zhang Xingrui's true identity. He is not close to Zhang Xingrui usually. The transfer of several small personnel should be summarized and sent to him along with other matters a little later.
What really made him confused was whether it was early or late. What did the emperor mean by assigning Zhang Xingrui to Haozhen now? Did the emperor know something? Otherwise, why was the timing so coincidental? Was he trying to beat him
"How did I hear that this is the person you requested from His Majesty?" Hao Yunsheng asked coldly.
Hao Zhen said seductively: "Uncle Emperor, where did you hear this nonsense? There is absolutely no such thing! If Uncle Emperor doesn't believe it, go check it out! Besides, it's too late for me to think it's troublesome. What do you want from Uncle Emperor's people? This must be someone." If you are making trouble, please ask your uncle to tell you the truth!"
Hao Yunsheng threw the book in his hand back on the table, "I will find out of course." After that, he turned around and left.
"Uncle Huang!" Hao Zhen chased him all the way out of the tent. When he saw Hao Yunsheng walking towards his mount and getting on his horse, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Uncle Huang didn't even take a sip of tea when he came here. Where are you going?"
Hao Yunsheng: "Get out of the way, I have something else to do."
Haozhen: "Uncle Emperor, you said Zhang Xingrui is missing, is that true?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask? He is yours now, you can find a way to go there yourself." Hao Yunsheng turned his mount to avoid him, whipped his whip backwards, and quickly rode away, following Chase.
Soon, hundreds of riders rumbled away again.
Hao Zhen watched with a calm expression.
In fact, the emperor's decree was indeed invited by him, but he did not come forward, and he would not easily come forward to get involved in the matter. Naturally, some of the courtiers would come forward to state the matter to the emperor, and what they stated was probably what was stated in the decree. Meaning, the pros and cons were obvious, and the emperor agreed.
He couldn't handle the operation of this kind of thing, so there was no such thing as him reporting it. As soon as Hao Yunsheng opened his mouth, he knew he was deceiving him.
He turned around and walked towards another tent.
When the curtain was lifted, there was a person sitting at the desk handling official business. It was none other than Zhang Xingrui.
There are two ghost cultivators on both sides to accompany and guard.
Seeing Haozhen, Zhang Xingrui quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
…
A golden wing fell from the sky and landed in the villa.
Soon, Lu Lijun emerged from a room, climbed onto a tall building, and handed the letter to the ghost mother standing by the railing with both hands, "Master, I am safe. I have arrived under the command of King Haozhen of England, and I have also received Qi Jing's order." .”
The ghost mother took the letter and opened it. After reading it, she looked relieved, tilted her head and said, "Please come over, Niu Youdao."
"Yes!" Lu Lijun responded and left.
In another pavilion, the man in black robe placed a stack of gold tickets on the table and stretched out his hand towards Niu Youdao opposite, "Where's the thing!"
Niu Youdao grabbed the gold ticket and handed it to Guan Fangyi beside him to count. He took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve and threw it over like something dirty, with a clang.
There were still ink marks left on the bronze mirror from last time. The man in black robe picked it up and looked at it. He also dug out the rubbing pattern from last time and compared it carefully. Finally, he picked up the bronze mirror and shook it, "If this thing is fake, , you know the consequences.”
Niu Youdao: "To be honest, I don't know if the thing is real, but it is indeed what Dongguo Haoran gave me. It must not be fake."
"Humph!" The man in black robe snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Niu Youdao called out to him, tilting his head and motioning towards Guan Fangyi's hand, which meant that the account hadn't been settled yet.
The man in black robe said coldly, "Don't worry, money is indispensable."
Sure enough, Guan Fangyi quickly stopped and nodded, "Five million is correct."
Originally it was 10 million, but after the two parties talked back and forth, Xiaoyue Pavilion agreed to all other conditions and was only willing to pay 3 million. In the end, both parties gave in and the deal was completed for 5 million!
Man in black robe: "Can I go?"
Niu Youdao stood up with a smile and said goodbye, "Please! But please bring some words to your Majesty. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other. The past is over. You don't have to be enemies. One less enemy will make things easier. In fact, Being friends is also a choice. I like to make friends. People and things in the world are feared by everyone and respected by everyone. Everything affects the whole body. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. If you are expensive If you don't mind, we can establish a direct communication channel with each other to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Just like that, sir, please help me bring the message."
The man in black robe's eyes flashed, as if he was memorizing these words, but he didn't say much. After a moment of silence, he turned around and strode away.
Seeing that things were over here, Duan Hu, who stopped Lu Lijun, came over and announced, "Master Dao, Lu Lijun wants to see you."
Niu Youdao hummed, "Please!"
Duan Hu came out and called for help. Lu Lijun came and entered the pavilion, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Tao, the head of the family wants to see you."
"Okay, you go back first. I'll come over as soon as I'm done with the little things here." Niu Youdao stretched out his hand to signal.
Lu Lijun nodded and turned around.
Niu Youdao said to Duan Hu again: "Let Gongsun Bu come."
"Yes!" Duan Hu left.
Niu Youdao turned around and found that the money in Guan Fangyi's hand was gone, and there was only a round fan in her hand that she was shaking.
Niu Youdao said directly: "Click two million."
Guan Fangyi covered her sleeves with a fan in her hand, "You can easily spend millions and millions, how can you spend so much money? With your way of spending, no matter how big the family fortune is, you will lose it. I will help you with the money first. You keep it safe so that you don’t burn bridges. Men are more ungrateful. Women need more money to feel at ease, don’t you think?"
Having said that, I finally ordered two million.
After a while, Gongsun Bu arrived, and Niu Youdao pushed another two million on the table, "Here are two million, take it."
Gongsun Bu was surprised, "Master Tao, what is this?"
Niu Youdao: "You have many people, so you need expenses. However, the manpower in Wuliang Mountain is still not enough. Recruit some reliable disciples at the right time. I need a larger information network. You can slowly develop the power of Wuliang Mountain. These are all It costs money.”
Gongsun Buguai is embarrassed. He just gave him one million a few days ago, and he needs to take another two million. It would be a bit embarrassing to accept it. However, developing manpower does require expenditure. In the end, he can only say "ok" and accept it. .
Niu Youdao pointed to Guan Fangyi on the side, "In the future, the news channels in Wuliang Mountain will not keep any confidentiality to her, and she will be directly involved. Also, she has a wide network of contacts and is relatively clear about many things. The news network As for how to arrange it, discuss it with her more and listen to her opinions.”
Hearing that the news channel here would not keep any secrets from her, Guan Fangyi blinked her bright eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Gongsun Bu immediately bowed his hand towards Guan Fangyi.
Guan Fangyi nodded slightly and smiled.
There was nothing else to do, so Gongsun Bu took his leave.
"What are you looking at me for?" When Niu Youdao looked over, Guan Fangyi covered her sleeves again, as if the five million just now were her money.
Niu Youdao: "Your people will take over the defense of the villa from today on. I will give you the money and leave the defense to you. I have entrusted my life and property to you."
What kind of trust is this? Guan Fangyi felt happy when she heard this, but on the surface she still tilted her head to the side, shook her fan, and said in a strange way: "It seems like I like trouble."
"Also, after I give you the money, we will all come to you for our cultivation resources in the future."
"Why are you treating me like a mother?"
Niu Youdao ignored the chirping behind him, turned around and left.
He went straight to the Ghost Mother. When he saw the Ghost Mother on the balcony, he flew up and asked with a smile: "Is something wrong?"
Ghost Mother: "I'm ready to go back."
Niu Youdao smiled, "Is the news implemented? Brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
The ghost mother squinted at him and said coldly: "You are quite capable of controlling Haoyuntu's will!"
Niu Youdao knows this very well. He doesn't have the ability yet. If a monk from outside the country dares to interfere in the political affairs of Qi, Haoyuntu will not condone it. It is all operated by Haozhen, who is immersed in this way. It was done really quietly.
"Eldest sister laughed. But when Hao Yuntu suddenly issued this decree at this moment, both Xiaoyue Pavilion and Hao Yunsheng were shocked. They should understand that the matter has happened and is irreversible. Hao Yuntu came forward to protect Zhang Xingrui. , it’s not worth killing Zhang Xingrui for revenge and angering Hao Yuntu. In addition, with the protection of the King of England, they dare not touch Zhang Xingrui easily. But for you, eldest sister, it is not necessarily the case. Although they will not risk huge Yinshan was captured by force, but if the eldest sister fell into their hands, they would not be polite to the eldest sister. However, if the eldest sister is willing to publicly publicize that we are sworn siblings, Xiaoyue Pavilion will still give me some face. .”
The ghost mother seemed to have heard a big joke, "Xiaoyue Pavilion gives you face? If I preach this, I'm afraid I will die faster! Well, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I will leave later."
Niu Youdao persuaded her to stay, "Sister, why don't you take some more rest? I've been busy recently and haven't had time to treat you properly."
"No need, I'm not used to staying here."
"In that case, I won't force it. It's the younger brother's fault for the long journey and the eldest sister traveling back and forth. Zhang Xingrui will look at the situation. If the eldest sister thinks it's appropriate in the future, she can let Zhang Xingrui's family come to my place. I will do my best to protect her. .”
Regarding his words, the ghost mother said calmly: "I was going to go out for a trip recently, and I want to go to Yunshan Mountain, so I thought it was just a way..."
Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, then interrupted: "Duyun Mountain? Duyun Mountain in the Star Picking City area?"
"Are there still a few people in the world who can't cross Yunshan?"
"Why are you going to Duyun Mountain, eldest sister?"
"Yunji, the owner of Duyun Mountain, has been my sister for many years. Go and meet her. If you pass by and have something happen, you can call her by my name and she will help you if she can. Why do you look at me like this?" The mother noticed that Niu Youdao suddenly looked at her strangely.
This ghost lady and Yun Ji are actually sisters? The corner of Niu Youdao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a vague smile: "It's nothing. What a coincidence. I am familiar with Yun Huan, Yun Ji's son, and have some friendship."
"Oh! It seems that I am doing something unnecessary."
"No, no, I have remembered the eldest sister's thoughts."
