Chapter 297: At the height of the sun, he dominates the world
Liu Dashao, father and daughter, were dumbfounded as they looked at Liu Lianniang, who was holding her father's legs with an awe-inspiring attitude of generously volunteering for justice, and did not react for a long time.
Especially Young Master Liu was confused. He secretly asked himself several questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
"Sister Yue'er, sister Yunxin, what are you doing? If you don't run away, it will be too late. Lian Niang's arms are so small that she won't be able to hold on for long.
You run away quickly! Leave me alone."
Young Master Liu reacted to another shout from Liu Lianniang, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at Liu Lianniang, who was hugging his legs tightly with both hands to keep them from letting go. The corners of his eyes twitched fiercely a few times.
What the hell is this? Why do you treat this young master like a villain who is about to wipe out the three of you sisters?
Sisters Liu Luoyue and Liu Yunxin also recovered from their astonishment. They looked at Liu Lianniang with strange expressions as she hugged her father's legs and looked at them with a look of determination. She didn't know what to say.
We just went down to the river to catch fish, and we didn’t do anything outrageous. Sister, why don’t you be so grandiose?
"Sister Yue'er, sister Yunxin, you two are running away? You standing there motionless like this seems like Lian Niang's behavior is very sentimental!"
Sisters Liu Luoyue and Liu Yunxin looked at each other with complex expressions, and looked at Liu Lianniang with an angry face: "Then we really ran away?"
Liu Lianniang's exquisite eyes tangled and she nodded heavily: "Run, it's better to be beaten alone than three people together."
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Lianniang's pitiful appearance with a strange expression, and directly stretched out his hand to scratch the little girl's armpit.
"Kekeke... sister, run away, Lian Niang may be confessing soon... soon... kekeke... hahaha..."
Looking at Liu Lianniang, who was twisting and turning on her legs like Bai Suzhen had drunk realgar wine but resolutely not letting go of her legs, Mr. Liu increased his speed again.
"Run? If I don't say anything, how dare the two of them try to run? If they can run away, can the monk run away from the temple?"
Liu Lianniang didn't even have half a cup of tea. She was so weak by her father that she knelt down in front of Young Master Liu and looked at her two sisters.
"Lian Niang can't bear it anymore, I really can't bear it anymore.
You won't run if I ask you to run, now it's fine, the whole army has been wiped out, right?"
After a while, the three sisters lined up in a row, holding their ears with both hands and squatting pitifully aside. From time to time, they glanced resentfully at their father, who was sitting on the recliner and silently sipping tea.
As the cup of tea was slowly being consumed, Young Master Liu was about to tease the three little cotton-padded jackets about how they felt, when suddenly several strange whistles came from the Penglai Restaurant next to him.
Young Master Liu, who was playing with the teacup with a smile, looked calm, put down the teacup, stood up slowly, and glanced at the three little cotton-padded jackets.
"Looking at your good attitude in admitting your mistake, my father will spare you this time. Take your things and go home quickly. If you let my father know that you are wandering around in the wind and rain again, you will be punished for both offenses."
The three sisters, who were secretly muttering to themselves how long their father would punish them, heard their father's words and looked at their father in surprise, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.
"What are you doing standing still? Go home quickly. When you get back, don't forget to take a hot bath and make some ginger soup to get rid of the cold. Don't catch a cold!"
The three sisters stood up in a hurry, put on raincoats and bamboo hats, and looked at Young Master Liu suspiciously when they mentioned their fish-holding device.
"Dad? Are we really going back home?"
Young Master Liu glared at the three little cotton-padded jackets angrily: "If you don't want to leave, just keep squatting. As a father, I have plenty of time to spend with you.
Who hasn’t squatted enough yet? Then squat down and wait..."
Before Mr. Liu finished his sentence, the cute little Liu Luoyue took the two girls' wrists and disappeared into the shanty, running towards the Liu Mansion despite the wind and rain.
Liu Mingzhi watched the figures of the three little cotton-padded jackets gradually become hazy in the wind and rain. He picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the side and walked towards Penglai Restaurant with a solemn expression.
On the fifth floor of Penglai Restaurant, Liu Mingzhi put away his oil-paper umbrella and pushed open the private room of Tianzi No. 1 and walked in. Looking at Suzaku Liu Mingzhi who was standing in front of the window with a cautious look, he walked over directly.
"Qier, what happened?"
Suzaku hurriedly rushed towards his young master, took out a document from his sleeves that were slightly wet by the rain, and handed it to Liu Mingzhi.
"Young Master, the brothers below have sent a letter to report that a large number of spy agents are gathering towards the capital recently. As for their purpose, the brothers have not yet found out because time is too short."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and took the document in Suzaku's hand and looked down at it. After a moment, Liu Mingzhi gently closed the document in his hand with confusion in his eyes.
"What's strange is that Spy Shadow's spies have been dormant since the fall of the Li Dynasty. Even if they appear occasionally, they are just a flash in the pan. They will not give me the chance to capture their hiding place.
What is the purpose of this large-scale dispatch of spy agents without any warning?"
When Zhuque listened to what Mr. Liu was talking to himself, he frowned and sighed.
"I'm afraid the person who came here is evil! There was no sign at all before, and they suddenly mobilized on a large scale to gather around the capital. It is impossible to say that there is no purpose at all."
"Maybe, since we can't find out their purpose now, we can only take advantage of them.
Let the brothers be careful and secretly monitor every move of these spies. If there is anything wrong, allow them to kill first and report later, capture or directly kill those spies who make any unusual moves."
"Que'er understands. Que'er will immediately send orders to all brothers after returning."
"By the way, have you found any traces of the Shadow Master from these spy agents?"
"No, they are all just ordinary spy agents at the moment."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and remained silent for a long time. He gently took off the tobacco bag from his waist and sighed.
"I understand. You should go back and deliver the order first. Master, I want to be alone for a while."
"Yes, Que'er is resigning."
Suzaku picked up the umbrella on the side and climbed out of the window, disappearing silently into the wind and rain.
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and read the contents of the document again, lifted a chair and placed it on the window sill before sitting down.
Taking out the fire stick and lighting the tobacco leaves, Mr. Liu squinted his eyes and stared at the pouring rain outside the window, puffing away the mist quietly.
The spy agents suddenly appeared and gathered in large numbers towards the capital, making him feel caught off guard.
…
In Woniu Mountain, a hundred miles west of the capital, in a cave with all the living expenses, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, two people were kneeling in front of a bamboo table in silence, silently tasting the tea in their hands.
.
One of the two people sitting drinking tea is a person who is completely covered in black robes and cannot see any appearance. We can only guess from the wisp of gray beard that is slightly exposed when he is drinking tea that he should be a man of quite a lot of age.
old man.
As for the person opposite the man in black robe, he is an old Taoist priest who, although he does not cultivate his words, has a calm and unfathomable temperament.
The old Taoist priest looked at the bottomless tea cup of the man in black robe opposite him, and casually lifted the teapot on the side to pour him tea.
However, when the teapot was lowered vertically and only a few drops of tea dripped down, an indescribable bitter smile appeared on the old Taoist's face.
Seeing this, the man in black robe silently put the tea cup aside, and a hoarse voice came from under the black robe.
"Shen Xiang, the tea you should drink has been finished. It's time for you to tell me the hexagram I asked for."
The old Taoist put down the teapot with a complicated expression and gently stroked the whisk in his hand.
"Why bother? Everything has its own destiny. Some things are better not to be known than to be known."
"I understand the good intentions of the gods, but I have tried my best to find the gods just to get an answer. Please tell me the hexagram I am looking for."
The old Taoist stared at the man in black robe opposite him for a while with unwavering eyes, and then slowly said eight words.
"As the sun rises in the sky, the king reigns over the world."
After saying this, the old Taoist closed his eyes silently, as if he was about to see off his guests.
The man in black robes across from him suddenly shook, and his fists clenched. He raised his head and glanced at the old man opposite who closed his eyes and stood up gently.
"Thank you very much. I will take my leave."
"Now that you know the answer, do you still want to do this?"
The man in black robe paused in front of the cave door, raised his head and stared for a while at the thunder and lightning, the dark and windy sky, and walked quickly towards the wind and rain without hesitation.
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. As a human minister, Li Gan will not hesitate to die even if his body is broken into pieces!"
The slightly hoarse but powerful words of the black-robed man echoed in the wind and rain, and were then drowned by the violent wind and rain.
It was as if the man in black robe had never appeared.
