Song Yang followed the team back to the post house. Mr. Hu deliberately found an opportunity to praise him in a vague way. Although he was not clever in dealing with Jingtai's "theory of national subjugation" in the palace, at least he did not lose Nan Li.
However, after all, Song Yang still mentioned that "Nanli will perish and the imperial court will be destroyed". These rebellious words, Mr. Hu could not actually implement them and praise him as "well said".
The Southern Liqi soldiers were also very excited about the series of events that happened in the Golden Palace today. The people watching the excitement never thought it was a big deal. They talked happily with each other. Song Yang was the only one who didn't care at all.
, after returning to the inn, close the door and quietly rest.
Almost at the same time that Song Yang returned to the post house, the Uighur delegation also returned to their residence. The chief officer carefully reported the matters in the palace to Samer Khan. It was okay to bet on the prince, but at worst Samer Khan would put himself on trial.
Go, but the prince who was gambling on the country could not make the decision. He immediately ordered the chief officer to prepare to return to the country to ask the Khan for instructions. The matter was too big to be explained clearly by flying geese to send letters.
Then, Samer Khan said to his chief officer: "It doesn't matter that the fight has been delayed. You can do two things for me today: tell Madijang, Kuna, and Asha to pack their bags and prepare to set off with me;
We will also find disguisers, and the four of us will have to look like Han Chinese."
The three he named were the most capable among the ten Uighur heroes. Among them, Axia was a woman. Her mother was Han and she was proficient in Chinese. The Uighurs also had their own spies and secret agents in Jingcheng, and there were many capable people among them. It was difficult to disguise themselves.
Difficult matter.
Both things are not difficult, but the chief officer is a little hesitant: "The Khan sent a letter before, asking you to return to the country after the first grade. And your body... where are you going?"
"You don't need to know where I'm going, I have to go." Samer Khan shook his head: "Your health is okay, it's getting better and better, Song Yang's medicine works. When you go back, tell Father Khan that I'm going to chase someone.
This treasure, if we can get it, Tubo Fanzi and Quanrong Jackal will die!"
After saying that, he waved his hand again and urged: "Hurry up and do it. My trip must not be leaked except to my father."
The chief officer immediately swore a poisonous oath in the name of the holy fire, and went down to prepare for the prince without asking any more questions.
Song Yang rested in the post house until it got dark, then he walked out and went to visit Li Mingji in Guan Guan Fengyue Fang.
After the meeting, he got straight to the point: "I would like to ask Mr. Li to help me find out something: Is the Imperial Master in Jingcheng?"
Unexpectedly, Li Mingji immediately shook his head and refused: "I can't ask. The Imperial Master is mysterious and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Don't talk about me. Even if Fatty Xie is resurrected, Chang Tingwei, who is now in charge of him, may not be able to find out where he is.
Please give up on the teacher’s whereabouts."
Just after saying a few words, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Gu Zhaojun came uninvited. Behind him was a girl dressed as a maid. No need to ask, this was the maid who brought tea and tea prepared by Lao Gu. Only this time she came with him.
It's not 'Big Nine'.
When Gu Zhaojun saw that Song Yang was there, he immediately smiled and said: "That's just right. Before I came, I sent a message to Nan Rong to ask you to come here to meet me." After saying that, he didn't need to be greeted by the host and found a chair to sit down by himself.
: "It's a complete surprise. I thought you would get the dragon bird back today, but I didn't expect that the first-level competition was postponed."
Song Yang shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry. In these more than a hundred days, I have a few extra months of work, and I can do something."
"Arson?" Gu Zhaojun raised his eyebrows.
Li Mingji also responded with a smile: "Speaking of it, it's not unusual for such a big fire to require several months of preparation."
Song Yang suddenly laughed and glared at Gu Zhaojun: "I tell you, I really don't like Nan Rong!" After saying that, he turned to look at Li Mingji: "A Yi Guo is the same." Nan Rong and A Yi
Guo, there was Lao Gu, a confidant, and a party official. With them by his side, Song Yang couldn't hide anything.
Li and Gu probably knew more about the details of the preparations for the 'Yangong Fire' than Song Yang himself.
The red fox and the old fox also looked at each other and smiled, both looking very happy. Li Mingji spoke first: "I didn't expect that there is a wizard like Taoist Fire next to you. Since you are a wizard, you'd better be more considerate and don't let others
They took her away." As he said that, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Gu Zhaojun with his beautiful eyes. After all, Li Mingji was a member of the party, and after all, she was Song Yang's person, so naturally she would not compete with Song Yang again.
Gu Zhaojun still smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't do this kind of thing easily, and with this Huo Taoist, it's not worth causing some trouble between me and you." He then changed the topic back to
Setting the fire: "Song Yang, don't say I didn't remind you that this fire is very expensive. You have to prepare money first, a lot of money."
Song Yang was puzzled: "Money? What do you mean?"
"Didn't Taoist Fire Master say that this fire should be lit from the outside in?" Gu Zhaojun asked back first, and after Song Yang nodded, he continued: "It means that the fire will be lit outside the palace... You
Take a look at the buildings around the palace? The Tongtian Drum Tower, the Suzaku Bell Tower, the Wandai Emperor Temple...anywhere is not heavily guarded. If you go to these places to set fire, I'm afraid it will be no easier than setting fire to the palace directly."
With that said, Gu Zhaojun asked the maid behind him: "Where's the picture?" The maid took out a finely drawn picture of the streets and alleys of Jingcheng and placed it in front of Song Yang. In fact, Song Yang could understand what the other party was saying without looking at the picture.
good.
"Although Taoist Huo is still designing around the palace, it is not difficult to imagine that in the future he will go further and push back the scope of arson... For example, if Taoist Huo designs a fire that burns down the palace,
One is the Suzaku Bell Tower, but there is no way to sneak into the tower to set fire. What should I do? The only way is to follow the old method and treat the bell tower like the Yan Palace, and then choose the fire point from its periphery.
." Gu Zhaojun cleared his throat, and the maid behind him was obedient and immediately touched the tea and fed him.
After moistening his mouth, Gu Zhaojun continued: "So, the place where the fire is set will gradually 'spread' outward, until every 'fire point' can allow us to send people to calmly light the fire... It's just some strange things."
Important residences and shops. I can't say exactly how many there will be. One hundred, three hundred, or eight hundred? Anyway, there will definitely be no shortage of places you want to burn."
Song Yang smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows. What Lao Gu said was confusing, but the truth can still be understood. This fire is also like a 'pyramid'. It needs to be burned layer by layer, from the base to the tip. First,
Hundreds of houses and shops in the outermost area caught fire, and the fire spread to the yamen, ancestral halls, and towers around the palace, and then had a chance to burn into the palace.
"Not talking about the Fire Taoist, Guigu Blind Man and his others' design calculations on the table only talk about the final ignition. The Fire Taoist can set fire, but he can't set the fire by himself. There are hundreds of fire points waiting for him to light it.
In the tenth room, the first fire may have been extinguished long ago. So you have to prepare in advance. Not only must you prepare manpower, but you must also pile up firewood at the fire point, reserve kerosene, etc. When the time comes, give the order and go everywhere.
A fire broke out at the same time... No matter whose house or shop, can you make these preparations?" Having said the most difficult thing clearly, Gu Zhaojun's tone became much more relaxed: "The safest way is to
The fire Taoist has bought all the places chosen so that he can prepare calmly...I said this fire is very expensive, right?"
Jiang is very old. Gu Zhaojun didn't know much about the arson than Song Yang, but he thought more deeply. If he wanted to make it happen, he had to prepare a lot of money.
Song Yang was convinced and at the same time, he gasped: "How much will it cost?" After saying that, without waiting for the other party's answer, he asked Lao Gu again: "How much can you lend me?"
Gu Zhaojun immediately shook his head: "I am a tenant!"
Li Mingji simply didn't wait for Song Yang to ask, and said directly: "I may be able to help with the manpower needed to set the fire, but the money... can buy hundreds of Jingcheng houses. If I were so rich, would I still be a rebel?
Do you still need to open a brothel?"
Gu Zhaojun laughed again: "It's not that I won't help. Think about it, a large amount of money suddenly poured into Jingcheng, and the crazy purchase of land in just a few months will definitely attract people's attention... I can do this.
I'll do it for you, and I'll make sure it's quiet and not noticed by outsiders. The key is... do you have money? If you don't have money, remove the stall as soon as possible, firstly, the fire Taoist will not have to work in vain, and secondly, it will save you from visiting later.
I am excited but disappointed."
Song Yang frowned, hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he took out a cat's eye gem from his arms: "Do you think this is valuable?" From the box of precious treasures left to him by Imperial Doctor You, Song Yang chose a cat's eye as a reminder.
Always carry it with you.
The maid took the gem and placed it in the palm of her hand before showing it to Lao Gu. Her delicate white hands held the bright gem, which looked indescribably beautiful.
Gu Zhaojun looked at it carefully for a while and nodded to Song Yang: "Same, but this one is too far behind...unless you have a lot."
Song Yang took back the gems and responded: "Almost a box, not all of them are gems, there are also jade and other things."
Gu Zhaojun was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "So you are the rich man. How big is the box?"
"It's no problem to fit you in." After saying that, Song Yang looked at the figure of the water maid and continued: "If you squeeze a little, you two can fit in."
Gu Zhaojun was really shocked and blurted out: "A box as big as a coffin?"
Song Yang smiled and nodded: "It's not as long as a coffin, but it's much taller than an ordinary coffin."
This time it was Gu Zhaojun's turn to take a breath, and turned to look at Li Mingji. The latter's expression was also very strange, as if he was regretting, "If I had known he was so rich, I wouldn't have given him half the discount."
After being surprised, Gu Zhaojun lowered his head and thought for a while. When he spoke, he looked solemn and lost all his usual relaxed energy. He first said seriously to Song Yang: "10%." After a moment of pause, he explained without Song Yang asking:
"If there is such a big box of treasures, it should be enough. If the jewelry is realized, it will still be through my hands, but I will charge a 10% commission."
After saying that, as if afraid that Song Yang would disagree, Gu Zhaojun added: "It is not easy to realize cash. The market price of treasures is uncertain. If such a large amount enters the market, the price will definitely drop sharply. You don't have much time to slow down."
Sell it slowly... I have a way, I don't dare to say I will make a profit, but at least I won't lose too much. In the end, it will be in your hands, which will be much more affordable than the 10% commission; also, the origin of these things is unknown,
If you take it out rashly, it may cause serious trouble, and only I can ensure that it is realized safely. The commission of 10% is already the price of my parents. Even if my own son comes to me, it will not be lower."
The previous words are all very pleasing to the ear, and the 10% commission is indeed extremely cheap compared to the price of 'money laundering' that Song Yang was exposed to in the previous life, but the last sentence is really a bit awkward. But what Gu Zhaojun wants to say is not finished yet.
: "There is also a 10% commission for the house collection in Jingcheng. This matter is too risky and cannot be done in vain. But don't worry about the other thing. I make money in the open, whether it is cashing in jewelry or buying houses and land.
I won’t mess with your accounts.”
Song Yang nodded happily, and even didn't forget to say to Gu Zhaojun: "Thank you, I appreciate it."
After talking about the business, Gu Zhaojun relaxed again and said with a smile: "Where does the thank you come from? I do the work, I make the money, it's natural, no thanks." But Song Yang shook his head: "I don't mention the commission, just the commission.
If you are willing to do this business with me, you are helping me, so of course I want to thank you. Besides, even though I don't understand the market, I can understand that the two and ten percent you want are very cheap."
Gu Zhaojun was no longer polite, but pointed with his chin at the maid he had brought, and asked Song Yang somewhat abruptly: "What do you think of her?"
"It's good, but... why did you change the person? Where's Dajiu?"
Gu Zhaojun replied calmly: "You still remember, around the New Year, I encountered an assassination in Nanli...Xiao Zhong was with me at that time."
Song Yang was stunned: "She..." In that attack, Gu Zhaojun himself was seriously injured, and the people around him naturally suffered heavy casualties, and Dajiu was just a maid and did not know martial arts.
Sure enough, Gu Zhaojun nodded: "That's why I replaced her to serve me." As he said that, Lao Gu suddenly laughed: "I never put my servants in my eyes, and it's not like I didn't kill anyone around me with my own hands.
But people with the surname Gu have the spirit of Gu, and no one else can touch me. I didn’t even protect the maid who has served me for several years... I can’t afford to lose this face, and I will always get it back. That’s why you said thank you.
, take it back."
At this time, Li Mingji on the side interrupted the topic and smiled at Song Yang: "I suddenly figured out something... This time you spent money to buy a house and land just to set fire to it. It is indeed a wealthy family.
Origin."
Song Yang didn't think so before, but when she said it, it turned out to be true. He smiled and said, "Those things are left by relatives. Now take them out and burn a fireworks display for him that will shock the world..."
He can see it."
Then Song Yang turned to look at Gu Zhaojun: "The box is still at Yanziping. You and I will set off as soon as possible to transport it over."
Gu Zhaojun nodded and said, "Wait for me for two days. Such valuable things must be escorted by good hands. I need to recruit people."
We talked about money matters, and after we finished talking, Gu Zhaojun was not in a hurry to leave. The topic changed again, and it came to today's 'Yipin Lei' bet. Gu Zhaojun mused: "The bet on the prince... the son of the emperor... Jingtai is crazy
It’s enough, but I’m not stupid, it’s a beautiful bet.”
Li Mingji did not pursue the deeper meaning of his words. She paid more attention to another aspect of the bet: "Dare to place a big bet, which shows that Jingtai is sure of victory. Are the warriors he selected really so strong?"
Song Yang was the most confident about this and immediately responded: "It is indeed very strong. As far as I know, there is a great master among the warriors selected by Yan State... This is not surprising. The key is that this great master is not their chief general."
." Luo Guan's cultivation is just a hair away from Chen Hui's. He is also at the level of a great master, but he is not yet a general. This shows how powerful the warriors of the Yan Kingdom are.
Li and Gu looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes, and this surprise was not only because of the lineup of Yan Kingdom warriors, but also why Song Yang knew such confidential information that even they could not find out.
But what Song Yang really wanted to say was the next sentence: "With the general present, Yan has a sure chance of victory; but if the general is absent, can Jingtai still win?"
Gu Zhaojun was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Song Yang did not hide any information he got from Su Hang and told the two "conspirators", but he did not tell the source of the information.
For Gu Zhaojun, there are many more surprises tonight than usual... Jingtai suddenly increased his bets, forcing envoys from various countries to postpone the first-class competition for several months. The most fundamental reason was that Yan went to
The leader of the competition is not here and has gone out on temporary errands.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Gu Zhaojun's old eyes became. After a while, he raised his head and looked directly at Song Yang: "What kind of emergency mission will it be?"
Just like Song Yang's reaction when he first heard the truth, the reason for the 'delay' couldn't be simpler, but no one could guess it. Just because Yipinlei made a sensation in China, it was so important that no one could think of anything else that could compare to it.
The first-level competition is even more important, as it allows 'the first master in Dayan' to temporarily give up the competition and do this.
Lao Gu's question was something that Song Yang had pondered over and over again in the past two days. He responded: "I can't guarantee that I will guess it right, but there is only one reason I can think of..."
Flood epidemic, especially the corpse of the imperial physician.
As long as it is in hand, it is a 'sharp weapon' that is expected to conquer the world. Only that corpse has enough weight for the leader of the Yan Kingdom to temporarily abandon the first-class battle and fight with all his strength to take it back first.
"One more thing," Song Yang continued: "How powerful is the general of the Yan Kingdom, so that the great master can only assign him as an assistant... You Li told me that when he was twenty-five years old, he
After entering the realm of Yi-zi Grandmaster, he can be regarded as a top talent in martial arts, but there is another person who comes from the same sect as my uncle, but he is better than him in every aspect..."
Li Mingji understood his guess, frowned and said: "National Preceptor?"
Song Yang was noncommittal: "Last point, I'm also not sure I'll be right...who is the most suitable person to chase the corpse?"
The body of Dr. You is both a treasure and a poisonous monster. If it is handled carelessly, it will wipe out thousands of lives and injure both the enemy and ourselves. The process of retrieving the poisonous corpse involves chasing, escaping, fighting and many other difficulties and dangers. Who can
Guarantee that this baby will always be so 'stable'?
In the team sent by the Yan people to seize the corpse, there must be a Qi Sect master who is familiar with the nature of the corpse and proficient in poison... Looking at the entire Middle-earth, the people who know the most about the flood epidemic, besides the national master, there are
who.
At this point, Li Mingji also suddenly realized, and said to Song Yang: "No wonder you asked me to help find out the whereabouts of the national master when you arrived."
Song Yang nodded: "I suspect that the national master is in Nanli now, and I suspect that he is the general of the Yan Kingdom..."
One thing I realized in hindsight was that I should have thought of it as early as when I was in Hongcheng. The treasure with such a serious relationship would probably attract the national master to take it back personally. But no one can figure everything out in advance.
, at that time, Song Yang was in mourning, and he could barely spare some thought on how to retrieve the remains of his relatives from Nan Li, and then there were some vague thoughts of revenge that were difficult to put into practice for the time being, but they were soul-eating and bone-destroying thoughts of revenge.
Ignored that aspect.
Until I heard Su Hang mention the truth behind the postponement of Yipinlei...
Li Mingji asked: "What if the Imperial Master is in Nanli? Do you have a way to find him and deal with him?"
"You have to give it a try... If you think about it carefully, there is no chance." Song Yang waved his hand without explaining anything more, indicating that the topic would end here: "I will leave for Nali as soon as possible to see if there is anything else.
Opportunity to deal with the Imperial Master."
Li Mingji nodded and asked, "What about Tan Guide? When will your miracle doctor friend come?"
Song Yang rolled his eyes... and smiled: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about Duke Zhen. Let's wait and see. Anyway, it's troublesome for everyone Li."
At this time, Gu Zhaojun suddenly said to him: "This is a problem, but it is not without its benefits. You should pay attention to it yourself."
It is indeed a problem. Song Yang is like this. Every time an important thing comes up, he will devote all his attention to it. He will think about it more and more thoroughly, but at the same time he will ignore other things. Maybe this can be regarded as willful.
Well, the advantages and disadvantages of this 'problem' are equally obvious. Song Yang thought for a moment, it might not be easy to change his temper like this. It would be great if someone could match him with a smart 'secretary'.
Contrary to the last time they gathered at Luoshuang Pavilion, this time after Song and Gu said goodbye and left, Gu Zhaojun hurriedly left Fengyuefang to gather people to prepare for the trip to Nanli; Song Yang strolled to Lanruo Temple, and Su
Hang was not here, so he didn't delay much. He just asked his grandma to give her a message: Song Yang has not been in Jingcheng recently, so don't miss him.
After returning to the post house, he chatted with Ayiguo and Nanrong for a few words, and told him that he was about to leave for a long distance. The two women had to worry about the plan of arson here, and Ayiguo took care of it.
, but Song Yang still trusts Nan Rong more.
After everything was explained, Song Yang went back to the house and fell asleep. At midnight, he suddenly felt a slight tingling on his eyebrows. The taste was very familiar. Song Yang woke up and was overjoyed. He jumped up. This was really what he wanted.
Whatever came, he was worried that he couldn't contact Luo Guan, so the other party took the initiative to come to his door.
Same as the previous meeting, Luo Guan took him in a hurry and went to the deserted house again. He smiled a little apologetically at Song Yang: "Last time I saw Hong Xiu, I couldn't keep my mood for a while.
Past events... As a result, the more I talk about it, the more excited I become. There is something I forgot to ask you. If you want to meet that miracle doctor friend, it’s not enough just to know your master. She is not interested in meeting his old man’s friend."
Song Yang immediately shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with Senior Chen Hui. It's because of my relative named You Li..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Guan said: "I understand this, but just saying that you are Youli's relative is probably not enough. It would be best to have a token."
Song Yang frowned: "Isn't it enough that I know 'butterfly blue'?"
"If you don't know my master, Butterfly Blue is enough." Luo Guan smiled: "Don't get me wrong, that miracle doctor friend has a weird personality and hasn't seen anyone since eighteen years ago. I don't want to go to this trip in vain.
of."
Song Yang stopped being pretentious and reached out and took out a pill of 'Not Hungry' from the medicine bag and handed it to Luo Guan: "This is called 'Not Hungry'." Then, Song Yang said a few more things about 'Not Hungry'.
Hungry's formula, and finally said: "I don't know all about its formula, but what I have said should be enough to prove that I am Youli's junior."
Luo Guan put away the pills and repeated the remaining prescription. After confirming that it was correct, he said: "I will leave the capital to invite her. It will take twenty days at the earliest to come back. Just wait for my news."
Song Yang could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "I can't wait any longer. I have something to do and I have to leave Jingcheng. It would be great if Sanyue could come back. But there is something I want to ask you. If that miraculous doctor friend can really come to Jingcheng with you, can he
Can't you ask her to help see a patient first?"
Needless to say who the patient was, Luo Guan came to his senses: "Zhen Guo Gong? That's it. I will tell you. Whether she comes or not, whether she comes for treatment or not, it's all up to her. Zhen Guo Gong is still leaking frost."
Right, remember to say hello to the boss there in advance to avoid misunderstandings later." Song Yang nodded in agreement, and he was not surprised that the other party knew where the old commander was hiding.
Luo Guan is the great master. On the night of the fire in the Zhenguo Palace, Ye Feifei took the old commander away, and Song Yang ran to the long street to fight. Luo Guan had this time, enough to track Tan Guide's whereabouts first, and then come back to follow him.
Song Yang......
Then, Song Yang asked for leave from Lord Hu, saying only that he was going to visit a friend in a distant place in the Yan Kingdom. The specific time was not clear, but he would definitely come back before the First Grade Competition in the autumn.
There are still a few months until the 'next' first-level competition. It is not worthwhile to return to China during this period. Master Hu has already released the messenger bird to inform the DPRK of the affairs of the Golden Palace. At the same time, he requested Fenglong and temporarily stationed the envoy in Jingcheng and other places.
If we return after autumn, this request will definitely be agreed to. Anyway, if you have free time, the Qi Shi can do whatever they want. Master Hu does not have too many strict requirements. He just asked Song Yang to be careful in his words and deeds and never cause trouble. Later, he also gave
A lot of money.
After waiting quietly for two more days, Gu Zhaojun was ready, and Song Yang set off. After leaving the city, he walked around in a few circles. After making sure that no one was following him, he rushed to the pre-arranged place to meet Lao Gu and headed towards Nanli.
Rush there.
The journey was tiring, but Song Yang was always excited... I really hope that the Imperial Master is still in Nanli!
