Wu Zhi rubbed his sore shoulder and shrugged: "This woman is not a good person anyway. She is very calculating. I'm afraid she has never been honest with others in her life."
"Since she wants to pretend that the two of us are very close, then let's just let the matter be settled."
Su Dongpo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that he could not dissuade Wu Zhi, so he simply ignored him.
Just as Wu Zhi said, Xiao Yiqing, the third prince's concubine, is not an easy woman to get along with. If the two of them really fight, it's unclear who will win.
He, Old Su, is quite old, and he doesn't want to get involved in this young man's fight.
"By the way, why did you want their house just now?"
Although Wu Zhi appears to be a romantic person on the surface, he has taken four beauties like flowers and jade in one fell swoop.
But Su Dongpo, who knew the truth, thought Wu Zhi was a man who was particularly responsible for his feelings.
Wu Zhi will not provoke a woman at will. Likewise, if this woman has feelings for him, he will never ignore her.
No matter what outsiders say, he remains stubborn and sticks to his heart.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Dongpo looked at Wu Zhi with special eyes. Looking at today's world, there are very few such extraordinary men.
Therefore, Su Dongpo was sure that Wu Zhi would not marry those women into his family at will, as he had just said to Xiao Yiqing. As a result, the family house would not be enough, and he would need to buy the house next door for expansion.
Lao Su was a senior that Wu Zhi admired very much. Not only for his attainments in literature, but also for his character.
Therefore, Wu Zhi had nothing to hide in front of Lao Su.
He mentioned the tunnel under Xiao Yiqing's house very directly and conclusively.
"The entrance to that tunnel is actually in the yard next door?"
As soon as Su Dongpo heard the special word "authentic", he immediately stood up from his chair. His face looked a little nervous, and he hurried up and grabbed Wu Zhi's hand, pulling him to go out.
"Quick, quick, take me to see the tunnel!"
Wu Zhi was confused by his teacher's strange behavior: "Teacher, why are you so excited?"
"I want to confirm whether this tunnel was dug by the five rats on Skyfall Island back then?"
Wu Zhi did not tell Su Dongpo that the tunnel was dug by the Five Rats. He did not expect that Old Su would be so nervous when he mentioned it casually.
"Teacher, how do you know that the Five Rats of Skyfall Island dug tunnels under Tokyo City?"
"How could I not know!?"
Su Dongpo let out a long sigh.
"The minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time was my confidant. The late emperor sent him to search for a secret tunnel under Tokyo City, but he kept going back and forth for several years and still couldn't find it."
"This close friend of mine will never forget this incident until his death. He feels that he has failed the late emperor's entrustment. Before he died, he asked me to find someone to find this tunnel. If I can see this tunnel, it will be considered a blessing to him.
The spirits of the dead have been given an explanation.”
Wu Zhi touched his nose, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing here.
However, Su Dongpo was not an outsider, so he actually took him over the wall to the yard next door.
This Xiao Yiqing is really fast and furious in doing things, and she does what she says.
Only then did he agree that Wu Zhi was willing to give away the house, and as soon as he got home, he had his people start mobilizing to move.
When their family was in chaos, Wu Zhi took Su Dongpo to the entrance of the tunnel.
The two of them went down the stairs, and the temperature around them also dropped as they went deeper.
When the two came to the flat ground, Su Dongpo couldn't help but marveled at the tunnel in front of him that could allow a carriage to drive at will!
