Tang Zibo was taken aback for a moment, and stared deeply at the blank paper that Ayers handed over.
After thinking for a while, he unfolded the paper in his hand. A map was scribbled on it, and even the handwriting was not easy to read.
He looked down for a while, then folded the white paper according to the original pattern, and raised his eyes to look at Aes meaningfully: "What does the special envoy mean?"
Aies smiled and said: "I know the prince is also looking for these four famous paintings. Since we have the same goal, why don't we help each other?" At the end, he added as if to strengthen his persuasiveness, "What's more, we have the same paintings. An enemy, the lord and I both know that as long as Xue Mu is not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult for us to achieve great things."
Tang Zibo looked at him steadfastly, as if he wanted to see some flaws in his face, but it was a pity that Aies' eyes were very sincere, so sincere that people felt that doubting him was an intolerable thing.
Tang Zibo snorted in an inaudible way. The foster father wanted to get rid of Xue Mu because he was the right-hand man of the current emperor. If something happened in the future, Xue Mu would be the biggest resistance. As for Aies... I think Xue Mu blocked him Invasion of Da Cheng's iron hooves
Such a wolfish ambition can be said so seriously, but it is not ordinary shameless.
But he couldn't deny that Xue Mu was indeed their common enemy right now. He looked at Aeus calmly, and asked with a faint smile, "I don't know what conditions the special envoy has?"
A gleam flashed in the long and narrow eyes of Ayers: "I only hope that the prince can help me ascend the throne of the Dongganluo Kingdom on the day of great success."
Tang Zibo pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, before saying in a deep voice: "I will report this matter to my adoptive father as soon as possible, and please ask the special envoy to wait for the good news."
Aies' eagle eyes slightly curved: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Tang Zibo nodded, and then asked anxiously: "However, the special envoy will not fool me with a fake map, will he?"
Aies said: "This map was given to me by Du Juan himself. If Brother Guangyuan doesn't believe it, I have nothing to do."
Tang Zibo pondered for a moment, then smiled at Ayers and said, "The special envoy is so sincere, how can I not believe it."
The two reached a consensus, and after talking nonsense for a while, Aes got up and said goodbye. After he left, Tang Zibo immediately wrote a book to his adoptive father who was far away in Lingnan, conveying the original meaning of Aes to him, and also mentioned the fake Liu Qinghuan by the way.
When the carrier pigeon flew out of Chang'an City, Aies also just arrived at the mansion. Yi Jin was sitting in the garden playing with the birds, and when he saw him come back, he casually asked, "How is it?"
Aus frowned slightly, as if he was thinking: "Do you think they will really follow the map to find it?"
Yi Jin laughed lightly, looked at him and said, "The King of Lingnan has "Cinnabar Plum Winter", as long as he gets the half of the map on "Magnolia", he can find half of the treasure, even if he knows it may be If there is a fake, he will definitely try it.”
"Then if that half map is real, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?"
Yi Jin thought for a while and said: "It's okay, if he can really launch a coup, it will be beneficial to us and will not cause any harm."
Aus nodded, and followed him to tease the birds in the yard.
In Yongning Hou's mansion, Liu Qinghuan has been very honest these days. After the lock on the bedroom door was broken by Xue Mu, she did not replace it with a new one. Except for the day when Xue Mu first moved in, Xue Mu never attacked her at night after that.
The two of them are living in peace here, but Ning's over there is in a panic. Seeing that Xue Mu had lived in the main house for half a month, but there was no movement at all, she almost wondered if there was something wrong with her son.
"Liangchen, why don't we just prescribe the medicine directly."
Liang Chen's hand that was pinching Ning's shoulders stopped abruptly, and then pulled the corner of his mouth a little stiffly: "No, it's not very good." See how anxious the old lady is, Hou Ye is going to use any means!
Ning stood up angrily: "It's even worse to let them go on like this!"
Calculating the time, Liu Qinghuan has been married into the Hou's Mansion for more than three months, and the marriage has not been consummated. Do you really want to kill her!
Liang Chen comforted Ning Shi gently and softly for a long time before she temporarily dispelled the idea of taking medicine. Looking at Ning's angry side face, Liang Chen volunteered to check on Lord Hou's tone.
When seeing Xue Mu outside the main room, Liang Chen tactfully expressed the old lady's desire to drug them, Xue Mu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Liang Chen in surprise. With just one glance, Liang Chen's face turned red.
Liang Chen ran away, and Xue Mu, who was left behind, walked into the main room frowning, looking as if he had encountered some kind of problem.
Liu Qinghuan was eating golden custard. Seeing Xue Mu coming in, she warmly greeted him to eat together: "Master Hou, this is the golden custard that was just steamed in the kitchen. Do you want to try one?"
Xue Mu lowered his head and glanced at the golden custard with rich milky fragrance in her hand, his eyes flickered slightly: "Is this sent by Liang Chen just now?"
"Yeah." Liu Qinghuan took another bite of the soft golden soufflé, feeling her heart soften, "Liang Chen's craftsmanship is good, let's send Chitao Qingzhi over there sometime to learn."
Xue Mu walked to her and sat down, looking at her strangely.
"What, what's the matter?" Liu Qinghuan felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and swallowed the golden souffle in his mouth with difficulty.
Xue Mudao: "From now on, you'd better not eat whatever Aniang brings you."
"Why?"
"Liang Chen told me just now that Auntie wants to give us medicine."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Qinghuan covered her mouth and coughed violently. Seeing this, Qing Zhi quickly poured her a glass of water.
Liu Qinghuan drank a few sips of water, and finally let her breath go: "Master Hou, you can't slander A Niang like this."
Xue Mu looked at her sympathetically: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
"Do you feel hot?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Seeing that her face was getting redder and redder, Xue Mu looked at her with more caring eyes: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it, you can come to me at any time."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Is this playing hooligans!
Xue Mu looked at her and suddenly laughed softly. Liu Qinghuan realized that she was being teased, and looked at Xue Mu angrily: "You lied to me?" As a liar, he was actually lied to by others, it was unbearable!
Xue Mu shook his head: "Aniang really wants to drug us."
Liu Qinghuan frowned: "Then what should I do?"
Xue Mu thought for a while and said, "Consummate the house."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She is now sure that this is playing hooligans.
Nian Tang came in from the door, glanced at the two people sitting in the room, and said to Xue Mu: "Master Hou, Peng Peng got into a fight with someone in front of the main hall."
Xue Mu's brows twitched, and he put away the smile on his face: "What's going on?"
Nian Tang said: "A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came outside the main hall and said he wanted to challenge Lord Hou. Peng Peng stopped him, and the two started fighting."
Xue Mu's reputation in Dacheng is great. From time to time, young and middle-aged men who rely on their martial arts will come to the Hou Mansion to challenge him, and some will come to learn from teachers and want to gallop with him on the battlefield. If the nursing home of the Hou Mansion can't solve it, it will be Peng Peng or Nuo Yan.
In short, over the years, many people have come here for fame, but none of them have really fought against Xue Mu.
Although Xue Mu was no stranger to this incident, it was the first time Liu Qinghuan heard about it, and found it very fresh: "There are still people coming to the Hou Mansion to challenge Lord Hou, how brave you are."
Xue Mu glanced at her sideways and said, "You seem to really want to see it?"
Liu Qinghuan stared at him with shining eyes: "Is it possible?"
Xue Mu stood up from the bed, and said to Nian Tang: "Go and see." Being able to shake hands with Pengpeng shows that there is still some real material.
Liu Qinghuan put down the golden soufflé she took a bite out of, and hurriedly followed.
There were quite a few people around outside the main hall, most of them were the guards of the Hou Mansion, and of course there were also quite a few maids from the mansion, who were staring intently at the two people who were fighting fiercely, and from time to time burst out a cry or two.
The two were about the same age, and they used swords. Xue Mu stood aside and watched for a while, and knew that the boy was not Peng Peng's opponent.
Liu Qinghuan also watched the fight between the two with relish. Although the young man was dressed plainly, his moves were fierce, but he was a little impatient. Because it was in the Hou's Mansion, the guards and maids around were all cheering for Peng Peng. In comparison, the young man who came to challenge seemed a little weak. Only a purple-clothed girl standing near Liu Qinghuan kept cheering for the boy.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times, the girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with big and energetic eyes, she was probably a childhood sweetheart of a teenager.
At this moment, when a "clang" was heard suddenly, the noisy crowd around fell silent for an instant. Liu Qinghuan turned her head and saw that Pengpeng's sword had slashed at the young man's sword, cutting the sword in the young man's hand in half.
The young man's face suddenly became a little ugly, Peng Peng put the sword into the sheath triumphantly, and glanced at him: "Next time, come back with a better sword."
That haughty look made the boy's face flush with anger. He gave Peng Peng a hard look, then looked in Xue Mu's direction, and ran out angrily. The girl in purple behind called his name and chased him out.
Pengpeng walked over triumphantly, Liu Qinghuan shook his head in disapproval: "You don't need to pay for cutting off his sword? He doesn't look like he has much money, and you still ask him to change it for a better sword. "
Pengpeng: "..."
Xue Mu hooked his lips, and said to Pengpeng, "Go and do something for me."
Pengpeng was startled: "It's not that I'll do it if I lose money."
Xue Mudao: "Go and find out who that boy is."
Pengpeng and Liu Qinghuan glanced at him at the same time. Seeing that he didn't want to lose money, Pengpeng said with confidence: "Understood." After speaking, he chased him out.
After Xue Mu ordered Pengpeng, he also walked back. Liu Qinghuan looked at his back and slowly clenched his left hand.
In the palm of her hand was the ball of paper that the girl in purple secretly stuffed into her hand just now when Peng Peng broke the boy's sword.
