Chapter 102: No remuneration

Views:

After breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't go out in a hurry, but went to Xu You's place.

Xu You and Fang Shuoyang had already woken up. When Long Xiaoyuan entered, Xu You was changing Fang Shuoyang's dressing.

"Do you need to change the medicine so soon?" Long Xiaoyuan asked.

Xu You said: "Well, the imperial doctor said to change it first this morning, and then tomorrow."

"That's it." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "That's fine, you go first."

As Long Xiaoyuan said, he and Shi Qingzhou came out first, and sat outside for a while.

Soon, Xu You came out with a cane, which was found for him by a servant.

The reason, of course, was Xu You's injured leg.

After Xu You came out on crutches, he looked at Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou. "Brother, Brother Shi, why did you come here so early?"

"I'm here to tell you, you and I will go out with Brother Shi later, if you have anything to do here, wait until I come back."

"Well, I see." Xu You nodded immediately.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't stay long, knowing that there was nothing wrong here, they went back and changed their clothes, and then went out through the secret passage in the palace.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went outside. After changing their clothes, the two of them are now dressed like ordinary people, even the clothes on their bodies are not good. I don't know where I want to go with this outfit.

Long Xiaoyuan was also puzzled, so he naturally asked. "This outfit... Where is the light boat taking me?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "It's a farm in the suburbs, and the people who come and go there are farmers."

"Ah, so that's the case." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. understood. "In that case...we won't be conspicuous if we dress up like this?"

"Yeah." Shi Qingzhou nodded, "Let's go like this."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went there, perhaps because of their attire, not many people noticed them on the way.

However, what surprised Long Xiaoyuan was that Shi Qingzhou led him all the way there!

"Why walk there instead of taking a carriage?"

Shi Qingzhou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I thought you wanted to walk over."

Um, why did he want to walk over there? Long Xiaoyuan was also stunned, what caused his queen to have such an illusion

Long Xiaoyuan looked at his queen, and then found that his queen turned red!

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help being even more surprised.

Under this surprise, Long Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of a possibility. That is…

"Qingzhou, do you want to take a walk with me?"

Shi Qingzhou's face turned even redder when he heard the words, and he guessed what his queen was thinking. At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan's mood became very good. It turned out that his queen wanted to be alone with him, and wanted to go outing with him!

Haha... Suddenly, Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou who was blushing in embarrassment, and couldn't help reaching out to hold the other's palm. Shi Qingzhou blinked, and his eyes flickered slightly. But his face turned even redder.

Long Xiaoyuan almost kissed her, but considering that it was outside, in the end, Long Xiaoyuan held back.

He didn't want to do such an eye-catching thing.

However, it's okay to secretly use the large sleeve robe to hold hands...

So, next, without deliberately hurrying, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou secretly held hands, and then walked to the not-too-distant suburb.

Such a slow posture is actually quite different from that of ordinary peasants.

Therefore, it can barely be said that it is not very eye-catching, but it is not without flaws.

Some people, with noble status, just put on a rough coat, but the temperament is there, so how can it be so easy to hide

Long Xiaoyuan smiled softly: "Qingzhou, do you think those people have noticed us?"

Shi Qingzhou shook his head slightly. "I don't know. Top killers can hide their killing intent. I don't feel the killing intent yet but it doesn't mean they didn't pay attention to us."

"Is that so..." Long Xiaoyuan murmured, "Then let's go on, the shadow guard followed secretly, right?"

"Well, at least thirty people." Shi Qingzhou said.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded, "This way I can feel at ease."

Shi Qingzhou couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Um."

The two walked for a full hour and a half before reaching the suburbs. Long Xiaoyuan admitted that he didn't exercise enough. After walking for an hour and a half, although Bin didn't seem to be in a hurry, he seemed exhausted! tsk tsk...

Shi Qingzhou glanced at the people around him. "Tired?"

Even if Long Xiaoyuan was tired, he would not admit it in front of Shi Qingzhou! He is a man! Save face!

So, Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "Not tired!"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly, he is a martial artist, how can he not feel that the people around him are breathing hard, but in fact, walking is also good for people's health, and since the other party said they are not tired, then they are not tired , he has nothing to argue about, doesn't he

Finally, the two arrived at the farm. "Qingzhou, is the farm here owned by the Shi family?"

"No." Shi Qingzhou shook his head, paused slightly, and said, "It's a branch of Tianji Building."

"Tianjilou..." Long Xiaoyuan's eyes widened sharply, "Is it the Tianjilou in Jianghu?"

Actually, what Long Xiaoyuan really wanted to say was: What! Sky secret building! It is rumored that the one who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world is located in Tianji Building

You know, in that novel, Shi Qingzhou married the daughter of the owner of the Tianji Building as a noble concubine!

He has just tossed a woman named Zhou Wan, who was destined to be the queen of Shi Qingzhou, out of marriage, and will not be with his family Qingzhou, and now there is another Tianjilou

damn it! Alarm bells rang in Long Xiaoyuan's heart!

Shi Qingzhou didn't realize the real thoughts in Long Xiaoyuan's mind, so he nodded when he saw that the other party knew about Tianjilou.

"Yes, it is the Tianji Building in the rivers and lakes. The headquarters of the Tianji Building is not here. This is just a branch of it. But because this is the imperial city, the Tianji Building also attaches great importance to it. I am also a coincidence. I have established friendship with a law protector in the Tianji Building, and sometimes some information will be obtained from here according to the method of getting news in the building... You should know that the Tianji Building calculates the secrets and sells news, right?"

The corners of Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Of course he knew what the Tianji Building was for, and it was even more awkward because he knew it!

This Tianjilou is indeed an organization that sells information, but I heard that this Tianjilou is also very good at fortune-telling... Long Xiaoyuan doesn't believe in fortune-telling, but in the novel, it is written that the Tianjilou's fortune-telling is very accurate .

Because of this, coupled with the Tianzi of the daughter of the owner of the Tianji Building, in the end, Wu Xiangyuan, the beauty of the Tianji Building, finally became a couple with Shi Qingzhou.

Wu Xiangyuan from Tianjilou... In that novel, Shi Qingzhou liked her very much!

no! no! We must not let his Qingzhou meet that Wu Xiangyuan!

Long Xiaoyuan looked as if he was facing an enemy, his body tensed up, but Shi Qingzhou didn't notice.

Shi Qingzhou just stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon, a young man came out to open the door.

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly at the other party. "Plains wear, green water flows."

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed respectfully. "Guests please."

Long Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't understand what was going on with this charade.

The two shadow guards appeared aboveboard, as if they were Shi Qingzhou's guards.

A group of four followed the boy into the farm, Long Xiaoyuan knew why Shi Qingzhou said that the people who came and went in this farm were ordinary peasants.

Because there is a hidden hole in the farm, I saw a road leading to the west inside the farm, and at the end of that road, you can see many farmlands.

Now, there are quite a few peasants there.

However, there is still a road to the east. Now, they are actually taking the road to the east, and people like Shi Qingzhou and others are walking on this road.

It means that although he wears the clothes of the common people, he does not look like a common people.

Among them, Long Xiaoyuan, who has no eyesight, can tell that he is from the Jianghu.

So, Long Xiaoyuan gently pulled off Shi Qingzhou's clothes.

"Qingzhou, these people..."

"They are all here to buy news." Shi Qingzhou said softly.

Long Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. "so many people?"

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Yes, Tianji Building sells all kinds of news, naturally there are many people."

"So you didn't get caught by the court?" Long Xiaoyuan was surprised.

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "They will not sell news that is not good for the emperor. They still have some brains. No matter how strong they are, they will not be stronger than the imperial army."

"Huh..." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "So that's how it is... Then, what you said just now was a code?"

"It can be said that I'm here to find someone, and my password just now was just to tell the boy who I'm looking for, and now he's taking us there directly to meet someone."

"Who are you looking for here?" Long Xiaoyuan asked again.

Shi Qingzhou said softly: "The protector here, Zou Qingyuan."

"Dharma protector..." Long Xiaoyuan murmured. Zou Qingyuan... But there doesn't seem to be Zou Qingyuan's name in that novel

But it's okay to think about it, the current plot has long since changed beyond recognition, and it's nothing without Zou Qingyuan.

There is no such thing as Dongye Kingdom and Beiguo in that novel. Although there is a mention, it is just a passing paragraph. In the novel, the main thing is Shi Qingzhou. The queen, three concubines and four Zhaoyi in Shi Qingzhou's later harem were all just titles.

Those titles don't even stand for anything concrete.

Where is it like now... everything has become concrete.

Moreover, the dead men who appeared are so powerful, who is behind the scenes is still unknown, there are too many possible people. He sits on the throne... If it weren't for Shi Qingshan and his son, he would have been pulled down by someone else long ago!

While thinking wildly, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou had already arrived at a side room under the leadership of the boy.

"Your honored guest please stay here later, and I will invite the protector to come here."

Shi Qingzhou nodded slightly, very politely. "OK."

After the boy left, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but asked, "Are you being too polite to that boy?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Even the most ordinary boy in the Tianji Building is a good scout for news. Don't look at him as a boy, but when he goes out to investigate information, he looks different. There are no idlers in the Tianji Building, so it's just the most Ordinary boy, you look inconspicuous at all, but you have your own special abilities. Since we are here to find news, we naturally need to pay attention to it, so as not to accidentally offend anyone, and we are not afraid of people coming to find out , but when people come to Yin, they are always unpredictable and disgusting, aren't they?"

What Shi Qingzhou said was very sensible, Long Xiaoyuan naturally agreed, and was simply amazed in his heart.

The people in the Tianji Building are so powerful, tsk tsk, the people in the Tianji Building that was mentioned in that novel are so powerful

Long Xiaoyuan felt unbelievable and at the same time felt... the sense of crisis in his heart was even heavier.

In such a Tianji building, Shi Qingzhou pays so much attention to any servant in it, damn it, if he meets Wu Xiangyuan inside, it won't be...

no! I must keep an eye on people all the time, and I must not make any mistakes!

Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan secretly stared at Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou felt that the people around him seemed a little strange, and wanted to say something, when a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door.

Then, a handsome young man walked in with a smile.

That young man was about the same age as Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan, but he had a very strong aura about him, and he looked very forthright.

That young man is Zou Qingyuan.

When Shi Qingzhou saw Zou Qingyuan coming in, he first let go of Long Xiaoyuan's little anomaly, and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Zou, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here to be safe."

"Haha, Brother Shi, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be a senior brother. This is really surprising to Brother Wei."

"Brother Zou..."

Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan chatted word by word.

Long Xiaoyuan discovered for the first time that Shi Qingzhou could be so talkative!

If he wasn't here, if he wasn't convinced that this was his Qingzhou, he couldn't have imagined that this was his Qingzhou!

Long Xiaoyuan felt very surprised that Shi Qingzhou was talking and laughing happily with others like this, but also a little... unfamiliar.

Shi Qingzhou seemed to have forgotten about Long Xiaoyuan, just talking nonsense with Zou Qingyuan, Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou's side face, and fell silent.

He couldn't help thinking about that novel, and thinking that Shi Qingzhou had taken all the power in the world into his pocket.

In the novel, there is no sign that Shi Qingzhou has such an ability, right

Shi Qingzhou in the novel is actually very popular in all corners of the country. If he didn't have the ability to talk to people, how could he be so successful

In the novel, Shi Qingzhou ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor... If he had no ability, no means, how could he be so successful

It's just that the former Shi Qingzhou showed the appearance of an elegant gentleman in front of him...

But, is that the real Shi Qingzhou

Or, is it actually Shi Qingzhou who suppressed his own nature

Is what Shi Qingzhou reveals now is his own nature? Is this the real Shi Qingzhou

Unconsciously flipping through these in his mind, Long Xiaoyuan felt that his head hurt a little.

Because, he found that he couldn't tell the difference.

The Shi Qingzhou in the rivers and lakes, the Shi Qingzhou who appeared in this Tianjilou Zhuangzi... seems to be another completely strange person!

Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan didn't even notice that the conversation between Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan had come to an end!

Naturally, they didn't realize that the two had gone outside!

Shi Qingzhou went out two steps and found that no one followed, paused, and called back. "Far?"

Long Xiaoyuan still didn't respond, the shadow guard who was behind Long Xiaoyuan touched his elbow slightly, which brought Long Xiaoyuan back to his senses.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan naturally saw Shi Qingzhou planning to go outside.

Long Xiaoyuan was startled, and hurriedly followed.

Zou Qingyuan seemed to have noticed Long Xiaoyuan's appearance just now, and he glanced at Long Xiaoyuan. asked with a smile. "Brother Shi, this is..." Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Friends."

Seeing that Shi Qingzhou didn't want to explain more, Zou Qingyuan immediately understood, and laughed again and again: "Okay, brother Shi's friend is naturally my Zou Qingyuan's friend, please, please."

Long Xiaoyuan didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and then met Shi Qingzhou's doubtful eyes, Long Xiaoyuan blinked, but didn't say anything.

Since Long Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, it was inconvenient to ask at this time, so Shi Qingzhou followed Zou Qingyuan and walked outside.

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan went out together, followed by the shadow guard.

Then, Zou Qingyuan took them to another wing room, but there were a lot of books in this wing room.

Walking in, Long Xiaoyuan didn't know why they came here.

What Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan were talking about just now, in fact, he didn't listen much at all, so naturally he didn't know what they were doing here...

After Zou Qingyuan walked in, he went straight to a bookshelf, and then he took out a stack of bamboo slips from the bookshelf.

The materials here include bamboo slips and book slips, all of which are mixed.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan saw Shi Qingzhou take out a painting from his arms.

Long Xiaoyuan recognized at a glance that it was the jade pendant brought by Fang Shuoyang from Tianyin Castle.

But when did his light boat actually draw the appearance of this jade pendant? Why doesn't he know

Then I thought, oh, it should be painted when he went to the morning court today.

This painting was indeed painted by Shi Qingzhou when Long Xiaoyuan went to the early court.

Zou Qingyuan took the bamboo slip, and then took Shi Qingzhou's painting... After a while, he walked to the bookshelf on the other side.

Zou Qingyuan was obviously looking for something, after about a quarter of an hour, Zou Qingyuan said: "You guys wait for me here for a while"

"Okay, no hurry, brother Zou take your time." Shi Qingzhou smiled.

Zou Qingyuan smiled heartily, and left.

After Zou Qingyuan left, Shi Qingzhou immediately looked at Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "Huh? Canoe?"

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "What are you thinking..."

Is this the second or third time I heard his Qingzhou call him that

However, such an intimate title is actually here.

Long Xiaoyuan felt... a little bit unpleasant.

However, it was just a little bit, Long Xiaoyuan saw Shi Qingzhou asking himself, and said: "I didn't think about it, what's wrong?"

"I think you are absent-minded." Shi Qingzhou said.

"Eh..." Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "nor… "

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips and said lightly: "Let's talk about it when we go back."

"Huh..." Long Xiaoyuan let out a long breath. "Okay, let's talk about it later."

While Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were waiting, the latter stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.

Shi Qingzhou blinked, but in the end he didn't ask Long Xiaoyuan not to walk around.

Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to look at other people's secrets or anything, he walked to the bookshelf, but he didn't reach out for the collection of books and those bamboo slips.

Long Xiaoyuan seemed to be only interested in those bookshelves.

Then, when Long Xiaoyuan was observing those bookshelves for a long time, Zou Qingyuan finally walked in.

"Brother Shi, there is news."

Shi Qingzhou's eyes light up slightly. "Oh? Brother Zou has news so soon? Who does this jade pendant belong to?"

Zou Qingyuan reversed his carefree expression just now, then closed the door carefully, and looked at Long Xiaoyuan with an extremely dark gaze.

Shi Qingzhou understood what the other party meant, and immediately said: "Brother Zou, it's okay to say."

Zou Qingyuan nodded. "Since that's the case, I'll just say that this jade pendant belongs to the royal family of Dongye Kingdom."

The royal family of the Eastern Ye Kingdom? Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou's eyes widened suddenly.

Zou Qingyuan nodded with a serious expression. "That's right, I'm absolutely sure. This is an item from the Eastern Ye Kingdom's royal family."

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan looked at each other.

Then, Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Thank you brother Zou for the notification, we have to go, if we pay, how about the old rules

Zou Qingyuan shook his head. "This time, Brother Shi will not be paid."

"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. puzzled. "Why?"
