There was one carriage when he came to Fufangyuan, and two when he left. Fufangyuan sent a carriage to escort Xia Lingpei there.
Bu Xun, who was sitting upright in the carriage in front, looked at Guan Fangyi, who was sitting on the right, and then at Niu Youdao, who was sitting on the left, and suddenly asked nonchalantly: "What do you want to do?"
Niu Youdao turned around and said in surprise: "What?"
Bu Xun slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.
The two carriages arrived directly at the foreign hotel and stopped outside the gate. After a while, the official in charge of the place came quickly. Bu Xun sat in the car and opened the curtains and gave a few words. The official agreed one after another, and then personally led Niu Youdao, Guan Fangyi and Xia Lingpei inside to make arrangements personally.
Xia Lingpei looked around, looking curious and a little uneasy.
He rarely had contact with the outside world and was always under the care of Yu Cang and others. Basically, it was the first time he left the group of people in Fufangyuan. It was unprecedented for him to leave alone. From time to time, I secretly glanced at the teacher I just taught in front of me, feeling that he was a little too young.
Bu Xun, who was watching from behind the car window, slowly let go, and the car curtain gradually covered the deep gaze inside the car.
After settling down in the guest courtyard, Niu Youdao stood alone under the eaves with his sword in hand. The rain stopped, the sky gradually cleared up, and there were still occasional drops of water dripping from the eaves.
Guan Fangyi arrived later and whispered side by side: "I checked, it's not a monk."
Niu Youdao: "Contact the people in Wuliang Mountain, meet with the monkeys, and send back the unused birds first."
Guan Fangyi now understands the purpose of his return, and she is convinced by him. There are so many tricks, and he is really brave to be able to play like this.
Despite this, her worry did not diminish and she asked, "Does it make sense to accept this student? Can he blackmail Yu Cang?"
Niu Youdao: "You have kept this orphan and widower by your side for many years. You used to think it was loyalty. Now that you know Yu Cang's identity, do you still think it is loyalty? The identities of these people cannot be seen in the light, and irrelevant people can avoid them. Just avoid it. It’s impossible to bring two useless burdens around. It’s suspicious no matter how you look at it. My student’s father is not well-known, but he can become a sworn brother with someone like Yu Cang. I’m afraid it’s not easy.”
Having said this, Guan Fangyi felt a little suspicious after thinking about it, and asked: "Who do you think it could be?"
Niu Youdao: "I don't know. I'm not a god who can calculate things. But just wait and see. If it's not important, they will wait for three days to expire. If it's important to them, they won't be able to give me enough." Time plays tricks, and there is a 10% chance that he will come to me today!"
Guan Fangyi said worriedly: "If Xiaoyue Pavilion is forced to attack, the defense of the foreign hotel may not be able to guard against the Xiaoyue Pavilion group. You are here alone, aren't you afraid of danger?"
Niu Youdao: "Do you think Bu Xun is a vegetarian? He didn't understand at first. If he didn't notice something was wrong later, could he still be the commander of the school affairs desk? Can he still help in the bloody battle for imperial power? Is Haoyuntu in charge? My dominance over Yucang in Fufangyuan was just for him to see. If he doesn't doubt my purpose of recruiting disciples for the second time, and if he still believes what I said before, then he is really a ghost. This is The surroundings are probably surrounded by Bu Xun’s spies, and Yu Cang is probably being targeted by him as well, so please let Xiaoyue Pavilion move rashly and give it a try.”
Guan Fangyi suddenly realized and understood that this game seemed to be just a simple use, but in fact it was ingenious. The tricks in the game were repeatedly intertwined, making this place seem to be in danger, but in fact it was difficult to invade. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You're such a ghost."
Scolding comes after scolding, in fact, I know in my heart that this is a typical case of putting oneself to death and surviving. Most people have no time to avoid this risk, so how can they dare to take the initiative to get into danger? Playing this game requires not only finesse, but also enough composure. It takes courage to control it.
It was clear, and she felt at ease.
Thinking back, if Niu Youdao had not taken this step, he would probably have scared her to death if he had told her in advance. This kind of thing would cause an accident if he was not careful. It was simply life-threatening, and she might have strongly opposed it.
…
The imperial palaces of the Jin Dynasty were rarely magnificent and were mostly black in color.
In a hall, a middle-aged man with eyebrows on his temples and a full beard stood in front of a map. He was dressed in black and had a burly figure. He stared at the map with twinkling eyes.
This person is none other than Tai Shuxiong, the emperor of Jin.
An eunuch held a piece of paper and read loudly behind him: "... Since the death of Shang Jianbo in the Yan Kingdom, the morale of the army is unstable, chaos abounds, and the court is gradually weakening. It will only wait for the day when the king is weak and the ministers are strong. It was a time of great chaos. Emperor Yan was incompetent, favored treacherous sycophants, and was jealous of his capable ministers. He was powerless to save the country. Therefore, the four eastern kingdoms were all waiting for slaughter, so there was nothing to worry about! The country was defended. The king was stupid and lost his ambition in playing with things. The scholar-bureaucrats wanted to be comfortable. Shao Guanzhi defended the country. Although he is rich, he is actually fat and weak, and is vulnerable to a blow! Emperor Qi is a hero, but he is old. All the princes are ready to make a move, and they all have hidden intentions of replacing him. Something will happen soon."
"Your Majesty wants to conquer the world, and the defense of the country is a granary, so he must take it. To sweep across the four eastern countries, Qi's horses and horses are indispensable. If you want to conquer the world, you must first take the granary to feed yourself. There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters. In the land of granary, Xuanwei female Ji Sichen, this is a good opportunity to offer a stunning beauty to seduce Lord Wei and drive a wedge between Lord Wei's siblings. It will definitely cause chaos in one fell swoop. In the place of cavalry, capable people can be sent to encourage the prince's ambition. Once the time is ripe, the two kingdoms will Everything is in chaos. Your Majesty's army can go straight to the granary. Haoyun wants to attack the outside world but must first settle down inside. He has no time to worry about the defense of the country. The defense of the country is at your fingertips! The Eastern Four Kingdoms are not coordinated internally and are unable to advance westward hastily. The state of Qi is unable to support itself and cannot withstand the advance of your Majesty's troops. Your Majesty You can take advantage of the situation and sweep it all in one go."
"The three countries are connected together. There are dangers in the desert in the northeast and dangers in the plateau in the southeast. All we need to do is send a large army to stop the key roads and defend according to the dangers, taking advantage of the right time and place. Even if the four countries want to invade, they are powerless. The granaries are in hand and the iron cavalry is in hand. We have enough troops and food in hand, and we only need to take a short rest. After two or three years of internal coordination, the army will be able to find a good opportunity to march eastward..."
Tai Shuxiong, who was staring at the map with twinkling eyes, suddenly turned around and snatched the watch from the eunuch's hand.
"..." The eunuch's reading voice stopped suddenly. When he looked up, he saw Tai Shuxiong holding the watch in both hands, pacing back and forth, lowering his head to read the detailed strategies on the watch.
The more Tai Shuxiong read, the more excited he became. He found that this was not just talk on paper. He had deep insights and practical skills. He couldn't help but said to himself, "What a plan for Jin to conquer the world. No wonder he can use one state to fight against South Korea in the north and Yan in the south." , He is truly an extraordinary person!”
After a while, Tai Shuxiong suddenly raised his head, holding the watch in his hand, waving his sleeves, and shouted: "Open the middle gate, and the lonely king will greet him personally!"
The eunuch was startled and stepped forward to dissuade him: "Shao Pingbo has a notorious reputation. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"If he is a wolf, and the lonely king is a tiger, what is there to be afraid of? If he can help the lonely king become the hegemon of Shangsong, how can the lonely king turn a blind eye and open the middle door!"
Taishu Xiong's voice shocked the hall.
About half an hour later, a group of people escorted Shao Pingbo's master and servant to the main entrance of the Weiwei Palace.
Buzz! As the two sides of the main entrance of the palace where the emperor traveled separated, Tai Shuxiong dressed in a black cloak and stepped out with a group of retinue behind him.
Outside the palace gate, Tai Shuxiong and Shao Pingbo stood face to face, their eyes facing each other.
Shao Pingbo bent down and bowed, "Shao Pingbo meets your Majesty!"
Tai Shuxiong looked at this young man with gray hair on his temples, and stretched out his hands to help him, "The lonely king and you hit it off as soon as we met, so why should we be polite!"
After saying that, he grabbed Shao Pingbo's wrist, turned around, and personally pulled Shao Pingbo into the palace.
Shao Pingbo was frightened and struggled twice. Tai Shuxiong strode forward but refused to let go.
On the contrary, Shao Pingbo struggled twice because of the imbalance of blood and Qi, which made him cough.
Tai Shuxiong looked back, stopped, reached out and took off his cloak, swung it in front of everyone, and put it on Shao Pingbo's shoulders with his own hands.
Shao Pingbo was really flattered by such generous treatment and refused repeatedly, "No, Your Majesty!"
"Whatever the lonely king says is fine. Do you want to listen to what the lonely king says?"
Tai Shuxiong persisted, but Shao Pingbo was too kind to refuse.
Wrapped in the Jin Emperor's cloak, and entered into the palace by the Jin Emperor himself, in full view of everyone, it was a magnificent sight, which really moved Shao Pingbo, who had been running for his life like a lost dog recently, and made his eyes red.
Shao Sansheng, who was following behind, couldn't help but wipe his tears with his sleeves raised. He was the only one who knew best how difficult it was for the eldest son to have exhausted all his efforts along the way. Emperor Tian lived up to his hard work and finally succeeded!
…
In Fufang Garden, Yu Cang stood on the attic, looking at the graceful figures wandering back and forth by the pond.
The sudden departure of her son, something that had never happened in so many years, made Zhuang Hong, a mother, very uneasy.
Dugujing came upstairs and reported in a low voice: "Master, I sent someone to investigate carefully. The foreign hotel is not accessible. There are many more people secretly. Someone recognized that there are three disciples of the three major sects. Maybe they are It’s a trap, I’m afraid it won’t work if I try to force it.”
Yu Cang's cheeks twitched, "It seems that Bu Xun is really hiding his thoughts. Ten of the people on our side have also been targeted by him. Bu Xun acts on behalf of heaven and has overwhelming power. The three major sects have to give him some credit." , the power he can use is too huge. In this capital, almost no one can be his opponent. Let the people below act carefully and not show their feet. Bu Xun should not have evidence, otherwise he would not be so quiet. As long as we don't Chaos, he doesn’t dare to mess with me.”
"Yes!" Dugujing agreed, "What should we do now? The young master's life will be in danger at any time in his hands. Once something happens to the young master, the consequences will be disastrous. We can't explain it to those old ministers!"
Yu Cang took a deep breath, "I'll go see him in person!"
Not long after, several people on horseback escorted a carriage out of Fufang Garden and went straight to Tongfang Garden, which is the foreign hotel.
The reason why the foreign guesthouse is named Tongfangyuan means that foreign guests are treated equally.
Mr. Yucang is famous, so after saying hello, it is no problem to enter Tongfang Garden. The horse and carriage will enter together.
A guard from Tongfang Garden went ahead to Niu Youdao to say hello.
After Niu Youdao retired from service for Shang Ping, he smiled at Guan Fangyi beside him and said: "The people are here, don't wait any longer. It seems that my eyesight is not bad, and I really caught a big fish!"
Guan Fangyi said cautiously: "Don't be happy too early, be careful if someone forces you to do it."
Niu Youdao chuckled, "Don't show your face and go and guard my student. If Yu Cang dares to mess around, you will take the hostage immediately. I want to see if he dares to alert Bu Xun to judge."
