After listening to Mo Ying's words, Xiao Yong frowned. The lady had sent him a secret message before, asking him to keep an eye on Tang Ji secretly and provide help when necessary. However, he was busy with the Jianghu Conference and didn't pay attention to it for a while.
Fortunately, that kid was not only safe and sound, but also solved Li Wenquan. I originally thought that would be the end, but who knew that the other party did not stay in Yingzhou to govern the newly established Tingxi Protectorate, did not return to Kyoto, did not go to the border to participate in the war, and instead ran away.
Come to Liuxian County, is that kid doing it for...
While he was thinking, Mo Ying continued: "Tang Ji will not come to Liu County for no reason. It seems that he also wants to get involved in the Jianghu Conference."
Speaking of this, his eyes showed a cold light.
"When I left Kyoto, the master told me that no one could interfere with the Jianghu Conference. However, the master had admired Tang Ji before, and the junior sister and the boy had a good relationship... Forget it, I
It's better to send a secret letter back and wait for the master to make a decision."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Changye's eyes suddenly widened.
Tang Ji, is that pretty boy Tang Ji? The newly appointed military governor of Tingxi?
Where did the Wu family invite this giant Buddha?
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"How far is Shuozhou from Kyoto, and how long does it take to get back and forth? Don't you have a clue in Protector Mo's mind? Since the Lord has previously told that no one should interfere with the progress and holding of the Jianghu Conference, let's talk about Tang Ji's intervention.
He represents the Ningguo court, what else do you need to report? Just kill him."
There was no warmth in Mu Xing's words. A lot of snow accumulated on his black hat attached to his clothes, but it drifted away the moment he walked in the door.
You Lan, who was following him, played with her fingers and added calmly: "Hey, that Mr. Tang is so talented, and I still want to tease him. Protector Mo, if you don't have the determination, just let me go. How about that?"
?”
Seeing the two of them, Mo Ying quickly bowed and saluted: "I've seen Protector Mu and Protector You."
Although they are both called protectors, Mo Ying knows that these two people have much more seniority than him, and they have been exposed to many things that he is not qualified to know.
Then, he glanced at Xiao Yong behind him, and seeing that he didn't move, he shook his head and continued: "It is true that I didn't think about this matter well. However, after all, Tang Ji is the Jiedu Envoy now. If he is in Liu County
If something goes wrong, the court..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Xing continued to say expressionlessly: "I'm a little curious, you are so kind to a woman, why would the Lord send you here? The war in the northwest is not even over at this time, so how can you care?
Shangliu County, otherwise there would be no movement at all after the news of the Jianghu Conference spread out for so long. Even if Tang Ji was an official valued by Emperor Ning, it would have been a long time to trace the cause of his death. By then, the Jianghu Conference would have ended long ago.
.”
After saying that, he glanced at Mo Ying again from the corner of his eye.
Mo Ying took a deep breath and immediately replied: "Yes, I know what to do."
"Yes." Mu Xing replied in a low tone, then glanced at Xiao Yong behind him with his peripheral vision, then turned and left.
"Hey, Ice Cube, wait for me." Youlan put away her hand, fiddled with her hair, and then quickly chased out.
As soon as the two of them arrived outside, Mu Xing whispered: "Send someone to keep an eye on it. If Mo Ying or Xiao Yong intends to let Tang Ji go, take action before them."
"I know!" You Lan replied softly, and then cast a charming look at him, but the latter did not take her seriously. Looking at Mu Xing's back, she hummed and stamped her feet: "Humph,
Sister will take you down sooner or later!"
On the other side, inside the room, Xiao Yong raised his hand to drive Chen Changye out, and then sat down on a chair on the side: "You are both protectors, there is no need to talk down to them."
But Mo Ying shook his head: "Everything is based on the master's orders. They are right. I thought too much, and you, too, should not have faced the two guardians with that attitude."
Xiao Yong yawned and didn't take his words seriously at all. After sitting for a while, he got up and walked towards the gate.
"Where are you going?" Mo Ying looked at him and asked.
Xiao Yong replied casually: "Go out for a walk."
Hearing this, Mo Ying narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you not to go to Tang Ji, otherwise it would be tantamount to betrayal."
Hearing his words, Xiao Yong was slightly displeased. He originally liked a free life. If it weren't for the lady's instructions, he wouldn't have come to the northwest for this muddy water trip. He looked ahead and said, "I'll say it again,
I only take orders from Miss, whether it is your World Chamber of Commerce, your messy Dharma Protector, or your Lord, it has nothing to do with me. I can help you, but I will not be bound by your rules."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing this, Mo Ying was a little upset and stood there for a moment before calling his men in.
...
It was getting late and the snow was much lighter. We were in the courtyard of the Wu family.
"Well, these mutton skewers taste really good. I didn't expect you, Lao Cheng, to be so good at it!"
In the small pavilion at the end of the corridor on the right, a bamboo curtain blocks the flying snow outside. There are charcoal basins and a simple temporary barbecue grill placed in the pavilion. There are many sizzling and oily barbecues on it. Hua Yuan'er
There were already many bamboo sticks placed in the small wooden jar in front of him. After finishing the mutton in his mouth, he threw another one in and gave a thumbs up to Cheng Tie.
Hearing this, Cheng Tie scratched his head: "This is nothing. If we were in Kyoto, the skewers would be much more delicious than this."
After saying that, he handed a freshly grilled skewer to Li Qingmei: "Here, plums, have a taste."
Hua Yuan'er took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then looked at Tang Ji who was in a daze next to him: "What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder if my wife encountered any danger on the road, or if she was blocked by heavy snow." Tang Ji supported his chin with one hand, and the skewers in the other hand had been cold for an unknown amount of time, and he answered casually.
"Can you be a bit promising? You are a third-grade official after all. Why can't you do without women?" Hua Yuan'er pouted and shook his head, then sighed and continued: "I thought you were thinking about how to destroy the Chen family.
!”
"Haha, if you destroy the Chen family, wouldn't you be the one who gains the most?" Tang Ji exposed him directly.
Hua Yuan'er giggled twice and then asked: "Hey, I heard that you are going to use your power to help the Wu family?"
Tang Ji handed the kebab in his hand back to Cheng Tie, then took another one and took a bite of the meat: "Well, I have given an order to the governor of Shuozhou, asking him to thoroughly investigate the county magistrate of Liu County immediately, and he will do the same in the future.
The government will also strengthen cooperation with the Wu family."
"Didn't you say that your identity cannot be revealed? In this case, Uncle Wu should react quickly." Hua Yuan'er added.
"Isn't that your future father-in-law? It doesn't matter if you know, and..."
Halfway through Tang Ji's words, he saw a large piece of snow falling on the eaves of the house next to him. Just as he was about to look up, he saw a man wearing a heavy cotton coat had fallen down first. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and picked up a piece of toast.
He threw the string over: "Brother Xiao, long time no see."
Xiao Yong took it smoothly, raised it to his mouth and took a bite: "Well, have you forgotten what I said to you when I left Kyoto?"
"To be honest, I really don't want to come to the northwest, but there is nothing I can do about it, alas~" Tang Ji let out a deep sigh, and then joked: "You are not here to kill me, are you? In that mutton skewer
But it’s been poisoned, so don’t act recklessly, or we’ll both die together.”
Xiao Yong was not in the mood to joke with him and stood there with a serious face.
Seeing this, Tang Ji also put away his smile, spread his palms and said, "Let's go, let's talk inside."
Xiao Yong walked over, but suddenly realized something, turned around and asked, "Did you know I was coming?"
