"Sometimes, the background is not very important." Yun Duanhun patted him on the head, "Recalling the past events of more than 20 years ago will only add to the sadness, it is better to forget about it, so that the already Those who go can sleep in peace."
"You really can't say it?" Wen Liunian moved towards him again, his eyes twinkled and said, "Why don't you tell me secretly, and I promise not to spread the word."
Yun Duanhun still shook his head.
Wen Liunian sighed while resting his cheeks.
"Don't ask about other things?" Yun Duanhun returned the cloth bag full of peanut candies to him, "It's not easy for you and me to meet once, if you miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will meet next time gone."
"After capturing Qingqiu, will senior go back to the East China Sea?" Wen Liunian asked.
Yun Duanhun nodded: "It's just me going back alone. Since you are an official in the court, Ah Yue will naturally stay here."
"Affected by the previous emperor, the emperor now has a deep misunderstanding of senior." Wen Liunian asked again, "Did senior ever think about finding an opportunity to clarify all this?"
Yun Duanhun shook his head: "I haven't cared about worldly affairs for more than twenty years, and I won't get entangled in such trivial matters."
"Senior thought it was a trivial matter?" Wen Liunian frowned slightly.
"I have made up my mind to spend the rest of my life in the East China Sea. If I hadn't worried that Qingqiu would harm Ah Yue, I would not have come to Chu by boat." Yun Duanhun said, "Since I don't plan to come here in the future , why should you care about what the Chu family thinks of me; let’s take a step back, even if I said it, the Emperor Chu would never believe it.”
"That's true." Wen Liunian continued to give him sweets, "Is senior's kung fu very high?"
Yun Duanhun nodded: "In today's martial arts, if someone can beat me with dozens of moves, he can be called a first-class master."
Wen Liunian said from the bottom of his heart: "Senior is really not humble at all."
"Then what about Mr. Wen's literary talents?" Yun Duanhun raised his eyebrows.
Wen Liunian stroked his imaginary mustache, and said cheekily: "Very good, very good."
Yun Duanhun laughed.
Zhao Yue looked down from the tree, what are the two talking about, so happy.
"I know what you want to ask." Yun Duanhun said, "If the three big acupoints hadn't been blocked at a young age, Ayue would have been a prodigy in martial arts. I would find a way to help him get rid of his stagnation."
"Is there a way?" Wen Liunian asked.
Yun Duanhun nodded: "There will definitely be."
"That's good." Wen Liunian said, "Palace Master Shen and King Qijue are all in Wangcheng now. They are all first-class masters. If you need their help, there should be no problem."
"You can't be careless about healing, and it's not something that can be achieved with more experts. You must first think of a perfect plan." Yun Duanhun said, "Before that, there is no need to rush too much, and there are more important things to do."
Wen Liunian guessed: "Qingqiu?"
Yun Duanhun nodded: "The person who assassinated King Qijue that day was taken away by me."
Wen Liunian was not surprised at all, and said while eating candy, "I guessed it."
"According to their confession, Qingqiu wanted to take the opportunity to stir up disputes between Qijue Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, so that he could escape while taking advantage of the chaos." Yun Duanhun said.
"So, Qingqiu should still be in Wangcheng at this time, and he won't be able to get out for a while, which is barely good news." Wen Liunian squeezed his chin, "But according to his timid character, if he wants to come to that group No one will know where he lives."
"Indeed." Yun Duanhun nodded, "Not only did he not know, but he had never even met."
"So you can be willing to work for him?" Wen Liunian was puzzled.
"If you make a big promise, there will be people who are greedy for wealth and glory." Yun Duanhun said, "Besides, when he followed me in the early years, he also learned a lot of tricks, so he must not be underestimated."
Wen Liunian said: "But senior didn't hide his whereabouts when he came to Wangcheng this time, are you afraid of being recognized by him?"
Yun Duanhun shook his head: "Since I left Chu State more than twenty years ago, I have completely changed my face. Now even if I stand in front of Qingqiu, he will not know who I am."
"No wonder." Wen Liunian suddenly realized, "It's completely different from the folk portraits."
"Can you lure him out?" Yun Duanhun asked.
"It seems that I should ask this question." Wen Liunian said, "Qingqiu was taught by seniors, and I am not familiar with him."
Yun Duanhun said: "But the Emperor Chu has entrusted the whole matter to the Lord."
Wen Liunian twitched the corner of his mouth: "Senior is quite well informed."
"How about it, tell me about your plan." Yun Duanhun said.
"Qingqiu is too cunning and extremely cautious. The previous series of actions by the court have already made people panic." Wen Liunian said, "Leaving aside the fact that Fengshou Mixing is secretly following us, the most likely clue is right there. on a juggler."
"Those people who committed suicide by taking poison?" Yun Duanhun asked.
"It's definitely not suicide, and they won't commit suicide so easily." Wen Liunian said, "Master Ye has already checked, and they have feigned death due to Gu insects. Either they are thinking about throwing themselves into chaos After the burial, someone will come to the rescue; or they want to wake up in a few days and wait for an opportunity to escape, no matter what the possibility is, we should have the opportunity to meet the accomplices of these people."
"Three nights have passed now, but those people are still in the mass grave, neither woke up nor rescued." Yun Duanhun said, "In a few days, even if they didn't die before, they should starve to death."
Wen Liunian suddenly frowned.
"I just said the worst possibility." Yun Duanhun comforted, "You don't have to be too depressed."
"The one who is secretly staring at the mass grave now is the President of the Imperial Forest Army sent by the emperor." Wen Liunian said, "Although I am in charge of this case, Commander Xiang will definitely be present when the case is tried, maybe even Even the emperor will be there."
"So?" Yun Duanhun asked.
Wen Liunian took back the candy that was going to be given to him: "Senior asked the question knowingly."
Yun Duanhun's hand stopped in mid-air, and said with a smile: "I promise you, I will definitely not let the imperial court have a chance to intervene in this matter."
"Very good." Wen Liunian finally handed over the sugar bag.
"It's getting late, you should go back." Yun Duanhun patted the sugar residue on his hands, "A Yue will come here to practice martial arts every night, if you have anything to say or ask, just let him pass it on." Can."
"En." Wen Liunian stood up, "Thank you senior for tonight." After taking two steps, he turned back, "Wait, there is one more thing."
"Anything else?" Yun Duanhun joked, "But the candy has already been eaten, what do you plan to exchange this time?"
"I owe it first." Wen Liunian walked in front of him.
"What do you want to ask?" Yun Duanhun asked.
Wen Liunian said, "Cough!"
Yun Duanhun: "..."
What does this mean
"That, when practicing." After a moment of silence, Wen Liunian glanced around, "I really can't, can't that, huh?"
Yun Duanhun couldn't hold back his laughter.
Wen Liunian looked at him angrily, what's so funny, this kind of thing is very important.
Yun Duanhun said: "Yes."
"..." Wen Liunian was unwilling, "How long will it take?"
After thinking about it, Yun Duanhun said: "According to Ah Yue's aptitude, it won't be too long."
Wen Liunian finally breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it won't be too long.
Then I heard Yun Duanhun continue: "About three to five years."
Wen Liunian: "..."
Senior, please say it again, I didn't hear you clearly just now.
Yun Duanhun patted him on the shoulder, turned and left the woods.
Zhao Yue jumped down from the tree: "Are you finished talking?"
"En." Wen Liunian had a sad expression.
"Why do you look unhappy?" Zhao Yue frowned, "Are you angry?" It shouldn't be, he has always been the only one who is angry with others.
Wen Liunian continued: "Yes."
"Don't agree to help you?" Zhao Yue guessed.
Wen Liunian said, "I agree."
"Then why are you still angry?" Zhao Yue pinched his cheeks, "I only wanted Master to do this, but now that he has agreed, shouldn't he be happy?"
"I asked senior how long you want to abstain from sex." Wen Liunian said.
Zhao Yue's expression froze: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You need to ask about this kind of thing." Wen Liunian emphasized.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then how did Master answer you?"
"It will take at least three years." Wen Liunian's voice was faint.
"He lied to you." Zhao Yue patted the sugar residue on his body.
Wen Liunian: "Huh?"
"It won't take three or five years, and it's not like I haven't done it before." Zhao Yue held his hand and kissed him, "Master is just afraid that I will be obsessed with sensuality and miss the business, and just talk nonsense."
"Really?" Wen Liunian opened his eyes wide.
Zhao Yue said, "If I really go crazy, how can I play with my life?"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wen Liunian was startled and furious.
"Once there are too many things, I forget them." Zhao Yue replied honestly.
Wen Liunian said angrily: "If I had known this, I would have saved the candy and ate it myself!" As a martial arts senior, he not only contradicted what he promised, but also lied everywhere, which is really very, very unkind.
"Let's go, go back." Zhao Yue said.
Wen Liunian stood still: "Back!"
Zhao Yue shook his head: "You have to walk more, sitting all day long is not good for your health."
Wen Liunian simply squatted down.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to surrender again: "Good, good, back."
The shadow guards of the palace outside the woods saw the two coming out from a distance, and they all showed expressions of "as expected".
It's all out...
Luckily we didn't follow through.
"Sir." In the small courtyard at the other end, Wu Ying and Wu Feng were blowing the wind on the roof. When they saw him, they both jumped down, "Why did you come back so early tonight?" In the past, it was only at dawn that the days ended.
"I didn't teach Ah Yue martial arts tonight, but chatted with Mr. Wen for a while." Yun Duanhun sat at the table, "We discussed together how to lure Qingqiu out."
"Is there a clever plan?" Wufeng asked.
"Qingqiu is cunning, and now he can only take one step at a time." Yun Duanhun ordered, "Go and pour me a glass of water." After eating too much peanut candy, his mouth felt a little dry.
"Yes!" Wuying ran into the room like a wind, originally wanted to make hot tea, but later saw sour plum soup on the table, so he poured a cup and brought it out, "Sir."
Yun Duanhun took a sip just after taking it, he felt a sharp pain in his teeth, and immediately vomited it all up.
"Sir." Wuying was taken aback, "Are you okay?"
"What is this?" Yun Duanhun felt his eyes darken.
"Sour plum soup, I boiled it myself." Wuying hurriedly said, "Just now Wufeng drank more than half of the pot."
"Go and pour some warm water." Yun Duanhun was miserable.
"Okay, okay!" Wuying hurriedly poured warm water out.
After rinsing his mouth, Yun Duanhun finally felt more comfortable in his mouth, but there was still a dull dull pain, so he was quite annoyed—he was already quite old, how could he share sweets with that brat
"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Wuying was still worried.
Yun Duanhun said: "Toothache."
"Next time don't give your sour plum soup to sir." Wufeng patted him on the head.
Wuying honestly agreed: "It's okay if I'm wrong."
"It has nothing to do with you." Yun Duanhun waved his hand, "It's fine, don't worry about me anymore."
"Sir, are you really okay?" Wuying said cautiously, "It looks like it hurts, why don't you find a doctor and get some medicine."
Yun Duanhun felt powerless.
It doesn't hurt to look at it.
It really hurts.
"I'll go get the doctor!" Wu Ying turned and ran outside.
"Come back!" Yun Duanhun said.
"Toothache is fatal." Wuying said earnestly.
"Leave this matter to Wufeng." Yun Duanhun said, "You have other tasks."
"What is it?" Shadowless asked.
"Go to the mass grave and watch." Yun Duanhun whispered a few words in his ear, "Have you ever understood?"
"Yeah!" Wuying nodded, and walked out the door with a saber in hand.
Yun Duanhun's toothache intensified.
Wufeng had no choice but to go to the medical clinic in the middle of the night, and spent three times the consultation fee to bring the doctor over. After rinsing his mouth with water, he did not see any relief of the symptoms, and the needling was useless. At the end, the doctor said helplessly: "I can only use folk remedies."
"What folk remedy?" Yun Duanhun asked.
The doctor picked up a small handful of Shuzhong Dahongpao Sichuan peppercorns from the back kitchen, and told him to bite on the painful spot, and wipe it off with a handkerchief if it drools.
Yun Duanhun was quite tired.
Feng Wu's eyes were also full of sympathy.
If the soldiers of the East China Sea saw that the God of War was reduced to sitting on the bed and wiping his saliva, they would probably be quite embarrassed.
But at this moment, the culprit was completely unaware, and was still concentrating on molesting the Zhao family.
"If you don't sleep, it will be dawn." Zhao Yue patted him.
"I don't have to go to court in the morning, and my parents are not here, so I can sleep until noon and then get up." Wen Liunian lay in his arms, "I'm not sleepy."
"Now that King Qijue has arrived in Wangcheng, will the emperor entrust you with the business and trade between the two countries?" Zhao Yue asked.
"I'm not superhuman, and having a youth is already a headache." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, I don't know much about trade, so this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Fortunately." Zhao Yue squeezed his chin, "I still have to worry about everything."
"Senior also said tonight that the most urgent thing is to find Qingqiu." Wen Liunian sat cross-legged on the bed, "Now we have three clues, one is the guy from Harvest Rice, and the other is the group of jugglers who pretended to die. The third is Axiu, the proprietress of the pastry shop who mysteriously disappeared in Panjia Town. These three things seem to be independent of each other, but they are all related to Qingqiu in secret, and they are not completely clueless."
"Furthermore, I don't need to sleep tonight." Zhao Yue pinched his face, "Speaking of these things, my eyes are shining."
"Is there?" Wen Liunian was puzzled.
Zhao Yue pulled him into his arms and covered him with a quilt: "Sleep!"
"Not sleepy at all." Wen Liunian tried to struggle.
Zhao Yue turned over to hold him down, bowed his head and kissed him.
Master Wen was honest in an instant.
This trick is really, very, easy to use.
In Panjia Town, Mu Qingshan has already got up and is lighting a fire in the kitchen.
"There are cooks in the government office, why do you have to do it yourself." Shang Yunze squatted beside him.
"It's different." Mu Qingshan said, "Today is your birthday, so you must eat longevity noodles in the morning."
"It's not a big deal." Shang Yunze shook his head with a smile, "I'd rather you sleep a little longer."
Mu Qingshan rolled up his sleeves and kneaded his face.
"It's really virtuous." Shang Yunze sat beside him and watched.
The sister-in-law of the Mu family married from Shanxi to Cangmang City, so she can make good pasta. Mu Qingshan has been close to her since she was a child, so she has naturally learned a lot - the movements of kneading and rolling noodles are extremely deft, and in a short time, she can cut thin noodles slowly. One end was turned on to cook, and the other end was started to cook soup. Soon, a large bowl of soup was served on the table. There were not only vegetables and meat, but also a golden poached egg.
"Madam is really capable." Shang Yunze took the chopsticks and smiled.
Mu Qingshan put down his sleeves and sat opposite him, he said with some guilt: "This is not my home, and I have nothing to give you, I can only cook a bowl of noodles."
"That's a mistake." Shang Yunze said, "There are so many things you can give me."
"What is it?" Mu Qingshan was puzzled when he heard it at first, but after meeting his meaningful eyes, he quickly realized it, so his face became fierce, "Taste the noodles!" Don't let your imagination run wild.
Shang Yunze raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of soup.
The taste is very delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"Delicious." Shang Yunze nodded, "After eating this bowl of longevity noodles, I can live a long life with you."
Mu Qingshan grinned, reaching out to help him wipe his mouth.
"Lord Shangbao, Mr. Mu." Just after finishing a bowl of noodles, County Magistrate Pan Taipan came to look for him in person, looking a little anxious.
"What's the matter?" The two stood up.
"Just now a villager came to report that he had picked up a hairpin on the mountain road outside the city." The magistrate said, "I recognized that Pan Zhen usually wears it, so I rushed to inform the government."
"Oh?" Shang Yunze said, "Have you ever asked Yang Dafu to identify it?"
"I've seen it, and it's indeed Pan Zhen's." Pan Tai said, "When the two got married, they had a set of gold jewelry, and this is one of them."
"Which mountain path?" Shang Yunze asked.
"It's the abandoned official road in Panjiashan. The yamen guards have rushed over." Pan Tai said, "Do you two want to go together?"
Shang Yunze nodded, and took Mu Qingshan out of the city to check what happened.
Since the weather has been very dry these days, and this official road has been abandoned for a long time, the ruts on the road are clearly discernible. After seeing it, an experienced old government official said: "The soil dug out by the wheels has not been completely dried, so you should go to three days."
"Looking at the ruts, it should be a pony carriage. You can't go too fast on this kind of road." Shang Yunze said, "I'll go after it, and please go back and tell Mr. Pan, so I can protect Yang Dafu."
"Yes!" The yamen servant nodded, "Master Shang, be careful."
Shang Yunze took Mu Qingshan onto his horse and galloped forward.
