Butler Yang walked into the lobby with eager steps and handed the wax-yellow envelope in his hand to Yang Tianchang, who was sitting on the main seat and humming leisurely: "Master, Huaizhou Secret Letter."
Hearing this, Yang Tianchang suddenly came to his senses. It had been more than two months since the killer was sent out, and the journey from Kyoto to Huaizhou was only half a month. This period was enough for Tang Ji to die thousands of times, but he
I haven't received the good news yet, so I quickly took the letter, opened it, and started browsing.
[Huang Qing was captured and the others died. The matter concerns King You, so act with caution. 】
There were only seventeen simple words on it, but Yang Tianchang became frightened and shouted to Butler Yang: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Huang Qing is a master? Why was he captured? How could King You be involved?
"
Steward Yang bent down his rickety body and said: "For the record, head of the family, it is said that Tang Ji had a good relationship with King You, and the two of them also opened a bookstore together. Tang Ji even had the protection of an expert, which led to the failure of the assassination attempt.
"
Hearing this, Yang Tianchang knocked on the table angrily: "Trash, they are all trash."
Butler Yang stood aside silently, and waited until his anger subsided before continuing to ask: "Master, do we still want to continue to fight?"
"What the hell, get those trash back here." Yang Tianchang cursed angrily. If Huang Qing was captured alive, he might betray the Yang family and involve King You. If he takes action again, it will only cause more trouble. If the news reaches the old man,
, it’s not easy for him to explain, he just hopes that the boy named Tang can be more honest, and it’s best to stay in Huaizhou for the rest of his life!
At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the city.
A man with a Chinese character face was kneeling on a soft mat behind a low table. He was wearing an orange satin robe. He was not tall and average-looking, but his movements were very elegant. He poured the brewed tea into a cup and raised it to his nose.
Before drinking, take a gentle sniff.
Seeing the middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe approaching, Li Qin smiled and said, "Is the imperial edict to recall King You set out?"
Counselor Qin Xianzhong nodded slightly, clasped his hands, saluted and said, "Your Highness, we have already set off."
"Alas, I don't know what my father means. I am the eldest son, and I claim to have done well in all aspects. But my father first supported my third brother to check and balance me, and now he wants to call back my fourth brother.
, do you think the court is not chaotic enough?" Li Qin put down the jade tea cup in his hand and sighed quietly.
Qin Xianzhong's eyes showed a trace of cunning, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "What does the prince mean?"
"Well, let's go ahead and let the fourth brother stay in Huaizhou with peace of mind." Li Qin's expression did not change, but there was a little ruthlessness hidden in his smile. He slowly put down the teacup and touched his forehead: "The third brother just came back from the south for half a day.
Within a few months, he pulled out several of my king's chess pieces one after another. It seems that he still learned something after going out, but it is not enough..."
...
"Ah owe!"
In Ji Ran's bookshop, Li Yu, who was holding "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", sneezed and rubbed his nose in confusion: "It's strange, I covered myself with a quilt last night."
Immediately, he turned his attention to Tang Ji, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, flipping through books. He originally wanted to find him and learn some writing methods, but unexpectedly, this guy stood in front of the bookshelf for the whole day. He couldn't help but wonder what he was reading.
, and moved his head closer.
After a while, Li Yu asked casually: "Jiang Zhan? Does he have anything to do with Sister Jiang?"
Tang Ji was shocked. According to the records in the books, Jiang Zhan was the last champion, and also served as the general of the country. He was a favorite of the late emperor, but he led the army in the thirteenth year of Dingwu, that is, eighteen years ago.
He rebelled and was eventually suppressed and beheaded. The late Emperor did not punish the nine tribes because he had made great contributions to protecting the country. He banished the men to the army and the women to the teachings. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Jiang Ran and Jiang Zhan have a certain connection, so he does not plan to let anyone do it for the time being.
People know that, and he coughed lightly: "There are so many people named Jiang in the world. I just encountered a bottleneck in writing novels recently. I want to check more information and study."
Li Yu rolled his eyes and showed an expression of "I believe you are a ghost", but he did not ask further questions. He wrote down the name and planned to ask Song Xiao to investigate it when he had time.
Soon after, when he saw Tang Ji putting the books back on the shelf, he followed him with a silly smile: "Tang Ji, you have brought Sister Jiang home now. The business of our bookstore is also good. We have both beauty and money. Yes."
Shouldn't we consider fame and power, such as becoming an official in the court?"
"Have you forgotten that I am the most talented man in Huaizhou, and I have gained fame. As for the power, don't you have it? The top leader in Huaizhou, King You, is my good brother, so why don't I walk sideways in Huaizhou?" Tang Ji stepped on
Stairs, he replied casually.
Li Yu pretended to sigh sadly and murmured: "It's a pity that I can't protect you anymore."
"Why?" Tang Ji paused and asked curiously.
Li Yu frowned and leaned on the handrails on both sides of the stairs: "There is news from Beijing that my father plans to call me back. How will I live without you in the future?"
Seeing him looking at her lovingly, all the goose bumps on Tang Ji's body grew out. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his arm. He didn't expect that a sunny boy would say such disgusting words. He shouldn't say these words to Song Yao.
?
But having said that, Tang Ji still has many tasks ahead. He has to deal with the Lin family in business, pay off the money he owes this guy, investigate the mystery of his and Jiang Ran's life experience, and learn top martial arts from Sun Yufu.
Of course, there is also the next step in the development of his relationship with Jiang Ran... Therefore, he will be very busy next and will not have time to accompany Li Yu to Kyoto.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and patted Li Yu on the shoulder: "Take care and have a safe journey."
After saying that, he continued walking to the second floor.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then raised his foot to catch up: "Tang Ji, you can't do this, we are good brothers, you don't know how boring Kyoto is..."
...
After a busy day, Tang Ji dragged his exhausted body back to Ji Ran's house. He walked all the way to the back hall and looked at the yard a few more times, but did not find the voices of Jiang Ran and Jiu'er, so he asked the maid: "They are
Woolen cloth?"
The clever little maid naturally knew who the "them" he was talking about was, and she bowed and replied: "Master, Miss Jiang and Jiu'er are taking a bath."
Hearing this, Tang Ji's eyes lit up. He returned the jigsaw puzzle to Jiang Ran in the morning, and pretended to be a child to ask for other toys, but was rejected. He thought about looking for opportunities in the future, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
He brought it to the door, coughed slightly, and ordered: "Go prepare the dinner."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the backyard.
The little maid touched her head, looked at his back, and murmured: "The dinner is ready..."
Tang Ji ran all the way to Jiang Ran's room, looked around, then opened the door and walked in. Unexpectedly, his actions were caught by two figures turning in from the corridor.
Jiu'er covered her mouth and sighed: "I didn't expect Mr. Tang to have such a hobby!"
