Although the Oiran Competition on Xuanwu Lake is very popular, most of the people who are interested are the children of officials and wealthy businessmen. However, the lantern festival that night is suitable for all ages. On this night, both dignitaries and ordinary people are all dressed in brocade at night, celebrating the construction of the city.
The city is full of lights, all kinds of gorgeous lanterns compete with each other, and the lights and night complement each other. The streets are even more bustling with traffic. The wealthy people try their best to show off their splendor, compete for luxury, and decorate with gold, silver, colored glaze, and pearls and jade.
They have become luxurious lamps that shine with treasure, and many people put up a high platform in front of the door, where they perform various acrobatics, which are wonderful and attract a huge crowd. Some people also set up a colorful shed in front of the door, with hanging hangings inside.
The riddles on the lanterns were played, and brocades of gold and silver were placed as prize money, causing countless men and women to frown and think hard.
Among the crowd, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were walking hand in hand on the street. The two of them received awards in the court today, and both were awarded the rank of sixth-grade captain. Although it is only a false position now, it is impossible for them to really receive it.
Soldier, but this is a rare honor after all. The two of them naturally did not know that this reward was just perfunctory by the court, and it was just compensation to make up for the reward that Lu Can deserved. Naturally, they were overjoyed, so they met to see the lanterns. Both of them were not afraid of anything.
Because of his temperament and his strong martial arts skills, he sneaked out of the Zhenyuan Palace without any generals. Shi Xiu came to Jianye for the first time and was not familiar with the streets here. Lu Yun was worried that she would get lost.
There were too many people, so I kept holding her hand to prevent her from getting lost.
After walking for a while, when Shi Xiu was dazzled, he suddenly heard the sighing conversation of several men, but they were talking about a wealthy family setting up a ring in front of the door. It is said that the lottery is an eight-treasure glazed lamp. If someone
If you can shoot money with arrows, you will give this lamp as a gift. It is said that if you are of similar age, your daughter will be betrothed to the person who wins the ring. These men are all good at bows and arrows, so they go up to try their luck. Stone embroidery is naturally good at attracting brides.
She was not interested, but when she heard about shooting arrows and seizing lamps, she pricked up her ears. After listening for a moment, she said to Lu Yun: "Brother Yun, let's go try it. We don't know how to guess riddles." Lu Yun was also quite impressed after hearing this.
Interested, he took Shi Xiu and walked in the direction mentioned by those people. After walking for less than an hour, he saw Jian Lei.
It was a wealthy family with high walls. There was an open space in front of the door. There was a flagpole standing a hundred steps away from the door. There was a red light hanging on the flagpole, and a piece of money was hanging under the light, floating in the wind.
, a colorful shed was set up next to the gate, divided into two rooms inside and outside with gauze curtains. The outside room was hosted by an extraordinary middle-aged man in Chinese clothes. There was a long table in the shed, with carved bows, feathers and arrows on it. As for the function
The colorful eight-treasure colored glaze lantern is hanging on the door. It is an octagonal palace lantern. The palace lantern is composed of sixty-four colored glaze wafers, connected in series with gold and silver threads, and decorated with pearls, jasper, and red candles.
Swaying, it becomes more and more crystal clear. Just the dove egg-sized bright pearl on the top of the lantern is already priceless. No wonder there are many people gearing up next to it. Although Southern Chu worships literature but not martial arts, archery is also one of the six arts of scholars.
, there are many people who dare to step forward to test-fire, but the test-fire requires ten taels of silver first, which stops many people.
Lu Yun guessed that the flagpole was specially prepared and was ten feet high. The coin was light and small, hanging under the lamp with only a red silk thread, and it floated back and forth with the cold wind at high places. If it were from the bottom up.
Archery, with such a distance and such a target, is indeed very difficult. Even I can't guarantee that I can hit the money. However, the notice on the colorful shed states that one of the three arrows can hit the money, so I have seven or eight points.
grasp.
At this time, Shi Xiu's eyes were shining brightly and he said: "Brother Yun, have you brought any money?"
Lu Yun was about to persuade Shi Xiu not to be in the limelight, but when their eyes met, the dazzling light in Shi Xiu's bright eyes made Lu Yun feel soft and said: "You try it first, if it doesn't work, I will try again, and it will definitely work."
The one who won the palace lantern." Shi Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I can't hit it, can you hit it?" Lu Yun was speechless. The two of them were equally good at archery, but Shi Xiu said this.
Wrong. So he smiled bitterly and put a piece of silver into Shi Xiu's hand.
Shi Xiu took the silver coins and walked towards the colorful booth. The eyes of the onlookers were bright. Shi Xiu was wearing a white dress. She had a handsome appearance, with confidence in her eyebrows and eyes. She was so handsome and young. If she hadn't looked too old,
She was afraid that those ladies from well-known families who rarely went out would be flustered. She stepped forward to get the carved bow and three feather arrows, dropped the silver coins, walked behind the white line, squinted her eyes and looked at the money dancing in the wind, and turned
The bow was like a full moon, and he was concentrating on setting up an arrow. The spectators held their breath and watched, wanting to see if the handsome young man could shoot money with an arrow. After a while, Shi Xiu still didn't fire the arrow. Some people in the crowd began to joke and relax, and they all
I felt that this young man was just bluffing. At this moment, the bowstring sounded, and an arrow disappeared with lightning. There was a low sound, and the arrow had passed through Qian's square eye. Before anyone could react, the second arrow
The arrow had already crossed the sky, the red silk thread was cut off, and the money fell to the ground. At this moment, the third feathered arrow came through the sky, and was piercing the money on the arrow. Without stopping, it penetrated
On top of the flagpole behind.
There was silence all around. On this Shangyuan night, such silence seemed particularly strange. Shi Xiu smiled slightly, put away his bow and arrows, a proud smile appeared on his reddish face, and earth-shattering cheers rang out from all around. Shi Xiu said to
He bowed to everyone, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who was twirling his beard in a daze, and said with a smile: "That eight-treasure glazed lamp should be mine, right?"
The middle-aged man felt unspeakably bitter in his heart. Just as he was hesitating, a voice like silver bells came from the curtain behind him: "Manager Gao, since this young master shoots money with an arrow, it is natural that he should give the palace lantern as a gift."
Shi Xiu was slightly startled. Although he had already seen several shadowy figures behind the curtain, he did not expect that the person speaking was actually a woman. Thinking of the gossip he just heard, this family had set up an arrow contest with the intention of attracting brides. Presumably the curtain
The person behind is the young lady of this family, and I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although she likes to wear men's clothes and does not treat herself as a woman, she is a normal girl after all. She can't help but look back at Lu Yun, who is also thinking about
Shi Xiu secretly cheered for his archery skills. He had competed with each other these days, but today he saw Shi Xiu's true ability. Seeing Shi Xiu's look for help, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since the master has said so, the manager
Why don’t you go get the light?”
As soon as Lu Yun stood next to Shi Xiu, the eyes of the onlookers all brightened up again. Although Lu Yun was not as handsome as Shi Xiu, his life experience and the influence of his father gave him an outstanding bearing. The same white clothes made him even more handsome.
He was outstanding in martial arts, and Lu and Shi stood together, contrasting each other, making the two of them even more extraordinary.
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and ordered his family to get the palace lanterns. Just as he was about to go up to talk, the curtain opened and a fifteen or six-year-old girl in brocade clothes came out. She was wearing light fur brocade boots, luxurious clothes, delicate and bright.
Like spring flowers, her eyes moved like spring waves with affection, making everyone take a deep breath.
She stepped forward and said to Lu Lu and Shi Er lightly: "My little girl Ji Lingxiang has met the two young masters. I don't know what they call them. Although I want to give this palace lantern, I also want to give it to an innocent family. If it falls into
In the hands of evildoers, aren't pearls cast into darkness?" What she said was very fast, but her words were clear, making people feel like pearls falling on a jade plate. Even Shi Xiu, as a woman, was filled with emotion after hearing this.
Even though he felt that she was a bit arrogant, he didn't want to argue with her.
Lu Yun looked as usual and said: "Miss, when she hung the lantern, she didn't say she would ask about her net worth. Since we have paid the money, the lantern should be ours. If Miss wants to break the contract, I'm afraid all the fellow villagers will also not do it."
Promise." As soon as these words came out, the onlookers, even though they were fascinated by the girl's beauty, also talked a lot, and some people said frivolously: "Young lady, you have to keep your word. When you ask about her identity, you are not interested in this person.
A young man, right?"
The face of the girl in brocade changed. She was beautiful and had a powerful backing, so she always wanted to win the wind and rain. No one had ever been rude to her. Today, Lu Yun snatched him away and attracted the gangsters.
He was mocking, but he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and a cold murderous look flashed in his eyes.
In fact, although Lu Yun was young and full of blood, how could he have no feeling for beauty? However, he had met girls like Jiang Roulan and Shi Xiu, the princess of Zhaohua County, so he didn't have any trouble in his heart towards Ji Lingxiang.
In terms of appearance, Jiang Roulan and Ji Lingxiang are only between brothers, but in terms of demeanor, they are worlds apart. Roulan has a gentle and kind nature, but also has the pride of the royal family that looks down on the world.
It is not an external appearance, but a self-confidence and self-esteem that goes deep into the bones. Even though she is as delicate as water, there are rough waves hidden under the water. That is Jiang Roulan. Although Lu Yun has not really understood Roulan yet, he has met her several times.
, has already cast a soft blue shadow in his heart. Although it is as far away as the bright moon, it is difficult to let go of the heart of admiration and love. Although Shi Xiu is not as good as Ji Lingxiang in appearance, she is heroic and brave, not as weak and rigid as women.
Although Ji Lingxiang is beautiful and charming, he is somewhat arrogant and arrogant, and his temperament is not as good as that of Ji Lingxiang.
Soft blue, the friendship is not as good as Shixiu. An ordinary young man might be dazzled by her beauty, but to Lu Yun, she is like a clay puppet, completely lifeless.
At this time, the steward had already brought the palace lantern. The palace lantern was very delicate. After taking out the candle, it could be folded up easily. The steward put it in a red brocade box and handed it to Shi Xiu with both hands. After Shi Xiu took it, he was filled with joy.
Walking out, Lu Yun followed her with a smile on his face. Neither of them glanced at the girl in brocade clothes, but just talked and walked out.
When the onlookers saw that the palace lantern had been taken away, they all dispersed, leaving only the girl in brocade clothes still standing in front of the colorful shed with her silver teeth clenched. Her face turned pale, and she set up an arrow challenge here.
To attract Lu Yun, this was a plan that had been made long ago. It was launched the moment Lu Yun was discovered to have left the house. To this end, people specially used words to attract Lu Yun and Shi Yujin to come. Unexpectedly, although they came, it was Shi Yujin who ended up taking the lamp.
This girl in brocade clothes didn't know that Shi Xiu was a woman. She only knew that she was Shi Yujin, who was as famous as Lu Yun. In fact, in her opinion, the elegant Shi Yujin was more in line with her wishes, but the master's order was to let her use the
The arrows and the lanterns approached Lu Yun. Fortunately, Lu Yun's talent and appearance were not bad. But what she never expected was that Lu Yun turned a blind eye to her. Such humiliation made her hate Lu Yun to the bone, and secretly worried whether her master would blame her.
Own.
Seeing her gloomy expression, the senior manager whispered: "Miss Third, don't worry. Even if this doesn't work out, the boss won't blame you."
Ji Lingxiang sighed softly and said: "If the senior sister can go smoothly and win the number one oiran title, master will be happy and may not blame me. Now master is very angry and I am afraid that this time will be difficult."
The middle-aged man whispered: "Third Miss, don't worry, the leader has given orders to get rid of the person who ruined our major affairs. Liu Rumeng is just a helpless and weak woman, and she will fall into our hands sooner or later."
Ji Lingxiang remained silent. Although she was young, she was not naive, nor did she think this matter would be solved so easily. Moreover, no matter what the outcome was, it had nothing to do with him. She was just worried about how she could get through the current situation.
"The sky turns, and the sound of Sanskrit comes from the sky. Thousands of lamps and trees shine, and seven branches of flowers bloom. The shadow of the moon is like running water, and the spring breeze contains night plums. The golden ground is burning, and the bells are on the glazed platform. (Note 1)", the bright moon tower is high, and the lamps are shining.
Brilliant, below is the bustling Imperial Street. From the half-opened and half-closed window, moving singing came out. Even in such a noisy night, the singing was so clearly audible.
In the elegant room upstairs, a beautiful girl with tall clouds and tall hair, wearing a gauze, played the piano and sang softly, her voice was dreamlike. In a corner of the room, two men listened with smiles, and they were each accompanied by two charming girls.
At the end of the song, a middle-aged man clapped his hands and said: "Good songs, good lyrics, Brother Song is really good at writing. No wonder he helped Miss Liu win the position of oiran, but maybe he offended others?" Another young man with a cold expression
With drunken eyes, he said: "Brother Shang is worrying too much. If someone really blames me for this trivial matter, I will avoid it for a while at most. I think things have changed and not many people will still remember this matter. But Brother Shang seems to be in a mood today.
Very good, do you want to see my joke?"
The middle-aged man laughed, pushed the beautiful woman in his arms away, and said to the young man: "Brother Song, thanks to your strategy, my father often gave me words of encouragement when he convened his staff to discuss matters recently. With your words
Don’t worry about the credit, don’t dare to say anything else, I will definitely be able to persuade them not to embarrass you at Yueyingxuan.”
Yu Lun smiled faintly when he heard this and said: "Actually, your father also hopes that his son will succeed, so he encouraged Brother Shang a lot in the past. Brother Shang is a talented prime minister who is in charge of the court. If the prime minister can adopt good advice and make decisions when the opportunity arises, he will be the best."
Good Chancellor, I think your father feels that Brother Shang can accept my humble opinion and apply it accordingly, so I encourage him more. After all, General Lu is the pillar of strength in Nanchu, and your father just wants to give him some encouragement.
Just put a little restraint on him to prevent him from going astray. I'm afraid my humble opinion has not been seen in the eyes of the Prime Minister."
Shang Chengye looked giddy and said proudly: "Of course, my father will not pay attention to the emperor of the Lu family. Moreover, this man has colluded with the important minister of Yong Dynasty, Jiang Zhe, the traitor of Nanchu. If he hadn't thought about it,
This man still has a military spirit, I'm afraid my father will have him punished long ago."
Yu Lun's heart moved and he said deliberately: "Oh, Brother Shang is talking about the Marquis of Chu who married Princess Dayong. Although Song also felt that this person had no integrity, he must not have achieved what he has today.
For an ordinary person, I heard that this man had helped Emperor Yong seize the throne, and also helped the King of Qi to defeat the Han Dynasty. Such ability and ability are rare in the world. General Lu was able to retreat the three armies of Yong's army by himself. Such ability and ability are also extremely rare.
It’s ordinary. No wonder everyone says that the two of them once had a master-disciple relationship, but General Lu, as a general of Southern Chu, should exterminate relatives in a righteous manner."
Shang Chengye raised his hand and said, "That's right. Jiang Zhe betrayed the emperor and surrendered to the enemy for the sake of glory and wealth. He also married the emperor's wife. This is really treason. Although Lu Can was hired by his family, the Lu family belongs to the Nanchu family.
It should be upright to eliminate relatives, but Lu Can not only defended Jiang Zhe in many ways, but even sent his son to Chang'an, which is quite suspected of collaborating with the enemy. If it had not hindered his achievements this time, my father would never let this matter go.
.And the Jing family in Jiaxing belongs to Jiang Zhe’s mother’s family. His father intends to get rid of the Jing family, and Lu Can is also obstructing it. This is really unreasonable.”
Yu Lun smiled and said: "This must be because the Prime Minister is too impatient. General Lu has always been strict about rewards and punishments. He will definitely not agree to killing people all over the house for no reason. But Brother Shang, although the Jing family has cut off contact with Jiang Zhe,
But after all, it is Jiang Hou’s mother’s family, so isn’t the prime minister afraid of offending this person?”
Shang Chengye said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the sake of General Lu, my father would have attacked the Jing family long ago. Although Jiang Zhe is famous, he was probably bragging about it for the sake of Princess Changle's face.
My father has seen it before. If he is really talented, how could he not see that this person may have some conspiracy and tricks. He may have indeed contributed a lot to seizing the legitimate son, but if he can help Li Xian destroy the Northern Han Dynasty,
I don't believe that what he, a weak scholar, can do, I'm afraid he can just monitor Qi King Li Xian for Emperor Yong."
Hearing this, Yu Lun already knew that the upper echelons of Nanchu really didn't think highly of Jiang Zhe. He also guessed that this might be a way for Shang Weijun and others to maintain morale by belittling their enemies. But only Lian Shangcheng looked down on him.
Ye doesn't know much about Jiang Zhe's talents, but he knows that Shang Weijun and others may not think highly of Jiang Zhe. He was taught by Jiang Zhe in the past, so he naturally knows the harm of such thoughts of underestimating the enemy, but naturally he will not
Wanting to change Shang Chengye's perception, he just smiled and said: "In that case, if the prime minister makes people take it easy, it will definitely be effective. The Jing family is also a family, and there must be unscrupulous children. If anyone is found guilty, he will be punished.
, Even if General Lu intends to defend, can he still embarrass the prime minister because of one or two people?"
Shang Chengye's eyes lit up and he thought about the feasibility of this method. After thinking for a long time, he showed a proud smile. He thought that this method could not only satisfy his father's wishes, but also secretly attack the Lu family. If his father knew about it, he would definitely do it.
Very satisfied.
Upon seeing this, Yu Lun already knew that Shang Chengye was hooked, so he deliberately changed the subject. He was very proficient in music, poetry, and told some anecdotes very clearly. Shang Chengye also quickly forgot about the episode just now, and just concentrated on having fun.
stand up.
It was late at night, and even the crowds on the street outside were gradually disappearing. Shang Chengye was already too drunk and helped the beautiful lady into the inner room to have fun. However, Yu Lun stood in front of the window with the wine, looking at the bright moon setting in the west.
His expression was gloomy, and it was always difficult for him to relieve the loneliness in his heart in the dead of night, so he usually indulged in sex until dawn, but it was different tonight. He knew that there were people watching him in the dark, and those people had already begun to drive away passers-by.
In order to prevent him from having a chance to blend into the crowd and escape, he just wanted to give them a chance. He took out a sobering pill from his waist and took it. He secretly practiced the power several times and felt that his energy and mind had stabilized. He pressed the window lattice lightly.
, the body fell to the street like a flying goose, like a falling flower falling to the ground, quietly and silently.
A soft whisper came from the darkness, and not long after, a figure of a woman in green clothes appeared in the vast morning mist. The woman's face was covered with gauze. Although she was only walking slowly, she had a noble and graceful temperament.
Two well-dressed maids followed closely behind them. Both girls did not hide their faces, revealing their delicate and beautiful faces like flowers. It was obvious at a glance that they were no more than twenty years old, but their overbearing sword aura made people uncomfortable.
I can believe that these two are not yet in their twenties.
Yu Lun looked at the three women, with a cynical smile on his handsome face, and said: "So there are such beautiful female swordsmen in Yueyingxuan. Song really admires them, but I don't know how much these girls are worth?"
The faces of the two girls showed awe-inspiring murderous intent. Although the face of the woman standing in the middle was hidden under the gauze, her eyes also showed cold murderous intent. She said coldly: "Song Yu, since you like to be glib.
, then if I kill you, it won’t be considered an indiscriminate killing of innocent people.”
Song Yu smiled slightly and was about to speak, but he saw the woman in green waving her hand, and the two girls had already pounced on them with their swords. The swords were shining, revealing endless murderous intent. These two girls had outstanding swordsmanship and worked very well together.
There was a tacit understanding, and Song Yu was a little confused for a moment. The two girls were in high spirits, and they even launched a series of assassins, forcing Song Yu to retreat repeatedly. The woman in green nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the sword skills of the two maids.
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Song Yu stumbled and fell backwards. The two girls slashed with their swords at the same time. At the critical moment, Song Yu's body looked like a fish and slipped out from under their swords.
, at the same time, he pointed lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and two black light flashes penetrated the throats of the two girls at the same time. The two girls' delicate bodies trembled at the same time and fell down. Song Yu was already standing aside as if nothing had happened. The woman in green had a look on her face.
Zhen, his eyes turned to the two girls, and he said coldly: "What a vicious hidden weapon, killing people with a smile, you have such a cruel heart."
Song Yu showed a hint of arrogance on his face and sneered: "Song has killed countless people and has never shown mercy. These two girls are a lesson learned from the past. Are you going to fight Song again?"
The woman in green said coldly: "Your Excellency is so arrogant. When I became famous, I'm afraid you haven't even started yet. Look at the sword." Before her voice stopped, a sharp sword was pointed at Song Yu's chest, and Song Yu's body followed.
The sword flew back, and the two of them seemed to have cooperated for thousands of times before. There was no gap between the human sword. When the sword was about to reach its end, the folding fan in Song Yu's hand protruded. This move was so wonderful that the woman in green
Unprepared, he returned his sword to block him. Song Yu took advantage of the situation to attack, and the two fought hard in the mist. The woman in green had a wonderful swordsmanship. Reflecting the setting moonlight, the sword light was like snow, and the dazzling streamer and flying rainbow covered the two figures.
They were all shrouded in it. And Song Yu's figure was light and fluttering in the sword light. The folding fan in his hand opened and closed. Every movement was so clear and smooth, free and elegant, without a trace of murderous intent. But as long as that
If the woman in Tsing Yi shows a slight flaw, his moves will become ruthless and ruthless, passing through the woman in Tsing Yi's sword network silently, directly attacking her vital points, forcing her to return her sword to protect her. After fighting for hundreds of moves, the two of them still can't.
They were evenly matched, and the murderous intent in the green-clothed woman's eyes grew stronger. She had become famous all over the world more than ten years ago, and she never expected that today she would be forced into a tie by a young man seven or eight years younger than herself.
At this moment, a soft shout came from the tall building on the other side: "Stop." Then a purple shadow flew down and separated the woman in green and Song Yu. When the two of them looked at each other, they saw the person coming.
He was an old man in purple clothes. He had a stern appearance and a majestic expression. Although he did not carry any weapons, his hands were as white as jade and were very dazzling. An idea flashed in Song Yu's mind, and he had already thought of the identity of this old man. This man was Shang.
Weijun personally hired a master who hid a needle in his body, Yuu Ning. It was said that this person's martial arts were unfathomable and he was said to be close to the innate state. He was a close confidant of Shang Weijun. He did not expect to appear here. Thinking of this person's identity, Song Yu made a decision
With a respectful expression, she didn't dare to say a word. The woman in green frowned slightly, as if she was having trouble making a decision.
The old man said calmly: "Thank you, Miss, this person is a close friend of Mr. Shang, and the Prime Minister also knows him quite well. We all work for the Prime Minister, why should we kill each other? Tell Chief Ji and Yan what I mean.
Chief, they will understand."
The woman in green finally let out a long sigh, sheathed her sword, saluted, turned and left. Not long after, several middle-aged women appeared and took away the bodies of the two girls. The old man sighed softly and said: "
You are a beautiful lady, but you are a thief. I never thought that a disciple of a famous family in the past would be reduced to this situation today. It is really a pity. Song Yu, I have discovered that you have committed countless major crimes in Southern Chu in the name of a ruthless young master.
Some people call you the number one killer in the south of the Yangtze River. You disappeared until a few years ago. I didn't expect you to live in seclusion in Jianye. What is your purpose in getting close to my son?"
Song Yu was not panicked in his heart, but on his face he showed panic and murderous intent after his identity was revealed. He said warily: "Senior Ou, do you want to punish evil and promote good? Although Song once made a career of killing people, he is now a gold medalist.
Wash your hands, as for making friends with the monk, it is not intentional." He could feel the old man's eyes staring closely at him. If he showed any flaws, he would definitely receive a thunderous blow from the old man. But there was nothing false in what he said.
, his association with Shang Chengye was indeed an unintentional act, but now he was used by him to complete his mission. As for the leak of the killer's identity, it was intentional, which can explain his unpredictable whereabouts for more than ten years.
Sure enough, the old man smiled and said: "I don't care about these noisy things, I just feel it is a pity. Song Min, you were originally a young talent, but unfortunately you became a killer. Now you have changed your ways and returned to the right path. I have already made inquiries about you and the young master."
Sure enough, you didn't intend to get acquainted, but even if you intend to get close to the young master and seek a career advancement, it is not a mistake. The Prime Minister attaches great importance to you and has ordered your case to be removed. From now on, no one will
Now that I realize that you are a ruthless young master, it is not difficult for you to gain fame from the right path."
Song Yu had a strange look on his face, as if he was found out by the old man because of his youth. He was a little embarrassed. He also seemed to be very grateful for Shang Weijun's kindness. He bowed deeply and said: "I am ashamed to be born late. I have failed Xian Yan."
The teaching is that Song is wandering around the world and has no desire for fame. He also asked his senior to convey Wan Sheng’s wishes to the Prime Minister. However, Mr. Shang regards Wan Sheng as a brother and sister, so Wan Sheng is determined to do his best for him. If the Prime Minister feels that it is inappropriate,
I won’t meet Master Shang again if I’m late in life.”
The old man's eyes flashed, and then he softened, and said calmly: "I see, since you have no intention of fame, I don't want to force you, but you have to stay on your own terms, and you can't be so ruthless again. This time, for the sake of
For my sake, they let go. If they know that you are no longer under the protection of Shang Xiang, you will definitely suffer brutal revenge. Since you and Master Shang are destined to meet each other, you should be more confident and take care of yourself. "
When Song Yu heard this, he sneered in his heart, knowing that the old man was forcing him to work for the Shang family. If he wanted to escape and leave, he would probably be killed. However, he had anticipated this situation and deliberately showed fear.
, leaned over and bowed, and said: "Thank you for your teachings, senior, Song Yu." When he raised his head again, the old man in purple had disappeared. Song Yu smiled slightly, but a ray of melancholy came to his heart again, and he accepted the task.
, approaching Shang Chengye, and influencing Shang Weijun's decision through this person. The danger of this task is obvious. But at the beginning, he was alone and naturally fearless. But now he has concerns, and he just hopes not to implicate Liu Ru.
Dreams are good.
Song Yu never expected that at this moment, a graceful man was looking at him through the bead curtain. It was not until Song Yu's figure disappeared that the man sighed softly and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "Such a man is here."
Jianye was detained, why didn’t we notice it?”
The middle-aged man said with sincerity and fear: "Chief, there is nothing we can do about this. Our Chentang's power in Jianye has been suppressed by Yihuangtang. Naturally, the news is not good. If our spies hadn't discovered that Chief Ji had invited Protector Xie
Take action, you still don’t know about this?”
The graceful man was Wei Ying. He said coldly: "This Song Yu has extraordinary bearing and deep scheming. When I saw that he had the ability to help Liu Rumeng win the position of oiran, I knew that this person was extremely intelligent. Such a person
He should be recruiting people, but Mr. Ji wants to kill people to vent his anger. It is really short-sighted."
The middle-aged man did not dare to speak, but remained silent. Wei Ying sneered and said, "It's a pity that this man still fell into Shang Weijun's hands, so I can only regard him as an enemy. I will send people to keep an eye on him and report back from time to time."
The middle-aged man promised repeatedly, and Wei Ying's eyes flashed coldly. He always felt that this young man would bring him a lot of trouble, but if he killed him, he might offend Shang Weijun. He didn't want to fall out with Shang yet, so he could only
He sighed softly and said: "The enemy is already ready to make a move, but here they are just fighting each other. It's really chilling, alas!"
