Dongshi, the backyard of Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
Zhou Qingwan walked slowly to the second floor of the bamboo building with her skirt hanging around her ankles, and knocked on the door of the room at the entrance of the stairs: "Master."
An echo soon came from inside the house: "Come in."
Zhou Qingwan opened the door and walked straight into the room. Suddenly she found a middle-aged man with dark skin and a thin body standing beside the black gauze curtain. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior Brother, when did you come back?
"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the occasion again, put away her smile, stood aside and gave a salute, and then asked: "Master, what do you want to do with your apprentice?"
The figure behind the black curtain picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Where is Xiao Yong?"
Zhou Qingwan blinked her eyes and replied softly: "He has been secretly protecting Tang Ji these days, but my junior sister has already said hello to him."
Hearing this, Mo Ying turned to look at her and asked doubtfully: "Who is Tang Ji?"
Before Zhou Qingwan could answer, a voice came from behind the black curtain again: "A lot of things have happened in the year since you left Kyoto. I'll find out more about it from Wan'er later. As for Xiao Yong, that brat Tang Ji already has a relationship."
A master in the master realm protected me, and Hua'er even sent him there. Alas, he only listens to Hua'er's orders. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Hua'er for a long time."
Zhou Qingwan smiled: "Junior sister will be back by the end of the year."
"Yes." The man behind the curtain nodded, and then said to Mo Ying: "How is it over there in Jiang Guo?"
"Don't worry, Master, everything has been arranged." Mo Ying bowed and replied.
"Well, Ningguo has been peaceful for too long, so it's time for chaos." The man behind the black curtain sighed, sat on the soft mat and stared blankly for a moment, put away his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Okay, Mo Ying, you go all the way down first.
Rest, and when the arrangements are made for the master, you can leave with Xiao Yong."
"Yes." Mo Ying cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
Zhou Qingwan glanced at the other party and then said: "Master, if there is nothing to do, I will leave."
"Well, after Xiao Yong leaves, he will send a few Tianyi Guards to keep an eye on the Tang family, so that the girl Hua'er won't worry about Tang Ji's safety." Another voice of explanation came from behind the black curtain and it became quiet.
"Disciple understands." After Zhou Qingwan answered, she withdrew and carefully closed the door. She turned around and found Mo Ying still standing at the top of the stairs. She snorted softly: "Senior brother, you didn't tell me when you came back.
Have you changed your mind?"
Both of them felt much more relaxed when they left the room, and a smile appeared on Mo Ying's face: "Master is anxious to see me. I was called here just after I entered the city."
"Okay." Zhou Qingwan nodded slightly, then walked up and hugged Mo Ying's arm: "Let's go, you've been working hard all the way, I'm going to order some food and drinks to welcome you, we haven't had a drink together for a long time!"
Mo Ying lowered his eyebrows slightly and walked downstairs: "By the way, who is Tang Ji, Master said?"
"That little guy is quite an interesting person..."
...
In the side hall of Shen Mansion, Shen Di found out the details of Tang Ji's article and gave him guidance on many methods and techniques for writing articles. However, seeing that he looked absent-minded, Shen Di couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, that's what the article said.
Here it is."
A few years ago, he also taught many new science students. Among those young people, none of them pricked up their ears and listened carefully. They never put down the pen in their hands for fear of missing something. When they looked at Tang Ji, they either dozed off or rolled their eyes.
, if he hadn’t understood the other party’s temperament, he would have thought that his abilities had declined!
Tang Ji was indeed not interested in these docile contents, but when he heard the last words spoken by Shen Di, he immediately became energetic, drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will leave now." !”
"Hey, I just said that I don't want to talk about articles!" Shen Di waved his hand for him to sit down, and then said: "Is there anything else you want to say about the military management in the northwest?"
Tang Ji shrugged helplessly: "Prime Minister Shen, I've already told you everything I need to tell you. It's really nothing..."
Halfway through what he said, he felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and the scene in front of him became blurry. He put his head against the low table to support it. Before he had time to think about whether Shen Di was giving him a drink, he felt dizzy. The tea was drugged, so he fell down in a daze.
"Tang Ji?" Shen Di noticed something strange about him and looked a little nervous. Just when he was about to get up to check, he felt weak all over and screamed in his heart, but he also fell on the table the next second.
Seeing this, the faces of the four maids in the hall changed drastically. The master and Master Tang only drank tea, how could they faint?
Two of them walked to Shen Di and Tang Ji and shook them. Seeing that they didn't move, they planned to go out and call for help.
Soon, two guards standing outside the house walked in, and one of them asked: "What's going on?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the woman in red standing by the wall pillar took out a dagger from her sleeve, ducked and killed all the three nearest maids, and then walked quickly towards the two guards.
"You, you are so brave, you dare to commit murder in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" The guard who spoke earlier was slightly frightened. He stepped back and wanted to pull out his sword, but as soon as his hand touched the handle of the sword, it was on his neck. A trace of blood appeared, and then he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes blank.
Another guard was about to shout for help, but unfortunately he was dealt with before he could make a sound.
The woman in red twisted her neck and looked outside the house through the side window. When she saw no one was around, she quickly walked back to Tang Ji, put him on her shoulders, and helped her walk to Shen Di.
After a moment, she positioned Shen Di and Tang Ji in the right position, put the bloody dagger into Tang Ji's hand, and pointed it at Shen Di's heart. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she was about to stab her. At that moment, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice coming from outside.
"I thought you were going to kill them, but I didn't expect that you wanted to frame them up. You could have hidden the corpse outside, so that when it happened, you could set up a scene where Tang Ji killed seven people in order to assassinate Shen Lianlian. However, behind the scenes, The person who instigated you to do all this is really stupid. Since you hate Tang Ji, don’t you have the opportunity to kill him, so why do you have to go to such trouble? "
The woman in red frowned and didn't care to think. She raised Tang Ji's hand and stabbed Shen Di. But at this moment, a stone flew in from outside the house and hit her wrist directly, causing the dagger to also It fell to Tang Ji.
She gritted her silver teeth and said angrily: "Who are you, get out of here!"
"As you wish." The light voice came in again, and in the blink of an eye, an invisible shadow rushed into the room quickly, sat down where Tang Ji was sitting, picked up a tea cup calmly, and poured it into the room. I drank a cup of tea, but soon vomited it out: "Pfft... Sure enough, it becomes astringent when it gets cold."
