The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 189

[Chapter 21 1 Night Fish and Dragon Dance]

Although the oiran competition on Xuanwu Lake is at its peak, most of the interested are the children of officials and wealthy merchants, but the lantern festival that night is suitable for all ages. This night, whether it is high-ranking officials or ordinary people, it is a night of brocade clothing, and the whole world celebrates.

The city of Jianye is full of light and colorful, and all kinds of beautiful lanterns compete for each other. The lights and nights add radiance to each other.

The wealthy and noble families go to great lengths to show off their splendor, competing for luxury and wealth. Gold, silver, glazed, and pearls are decorated into luxurious lanterns. There are also many people on the high platform in front of the door, making people perform a hundred arts on the stage. The acrobatic show was brilliant, attracting crowds, and some people set up a colorful booth in front of the door, with lantern riddles hanging inside, and brocade gold and silver as colorful gold, causing countless men and women to frown and think hard.

Among the crowd, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu walked on the street hand in hand. The two received awards in the court today, and both were awarded the rank of sixth-rank school captain. Although they are only vacant positions, it is impossible for them to really take the lead. Soldiers, but this is a rare honor after all. Naturally, the two of them didn’t know that this reward was just a perfunctory reward from the imperial court, and it was also a compensation to make up for the reward that Lu Can deserved.

Both of them are not afraid of the sky and the earth, coupled with their high martial arts skills, so they did not bring their generals and sneaked out of the Zhenyuan Palace.

Shi Xiu came to Jianye for the first time and was unfamiliar with the streets here. Lu Yun was worried that she had lost her way and there were too many people on the road, so she kept holding her hand to prevent her from getting lost.

After walking for a while, Shi Xiu was dizzy when he heard a few men sighing and talking, but it was talking about a wealthy family who set up a ring in front of the door. If he can shoot money with arrows, he will give this lamp as a gift.

These men are all good at bows and arrows, so go up and try your luck.

Shi Xiu was naturally not interested in recruiting relatives, but she perked up her ears as soon as she heard that the archery took the lamp. After listening for a while, she said to Lu Yun: “Brother Yun, let’s try it, we can’t guess the riddle.” Lu Yun was also very interested when he heard it, so he took Shixiu to the direction those people said.

After walking for less than a pinch of incense, I saw the arrow.

It was a wealthy family with high walls and deep families. There was an open space in front of the door. A flagpole was erected a hundred steps away from the gate. A red light hung on the flagpole, and a piece of money hung under the light, which was fluttering in the wind. , next to the gate is a colorful shed, separated into two rooms by gauze curtains, the outside is hosted by a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, and there is a long table in the shed with carved bows, feathers and arrows on the table.

As for the eight-treasure glazed lantern that is the color head hanging on the gate, it is an octagonal palace lantern. The palace lantern is composed of sixty-four pieces of glazed wafers, which are all connected with gold and silver threads, and there are pearls and jasper decorations. The red candle flickered, becoming more and more crystal clear.

Just the bright pearl the size of a pigeon egg on the top of the treasure lantern is already invaluable. No wonder there are many people gearing up for it.

Although Nanchu Chongwen is light in martial arts, archery is also one of the six skills of scholars. There are many people who dare to go forward to try shooting, but they need to spend 10 taels of silver first, which makes many people stop.

Lu Yun speculated for a moment, the flagpole was specially prepared, it was ten feet high, the money was light and small, it was hung under the lamp with only red silk thread, and it swung to and fro in the cold wind from the high place.

If you shoot arrows from bottom to top, such a distance and such a target, it is really very difficult, even if you can’t guarantee that you can hit the money, but the notice on the color booth says that one of the three arrows can hit the money. There are seven or eight points to grasp.

At this time, Shi Xiu’s eyes were already bright and he said, “Brother Yun, did you bring any money?”

Lu Yun was about to persuade Shi Xiu not to be in the limelight, but his eyes were facing each other, the radiance in Shi Xiu’s bright eyes made Lu Yun’s heart soften, and said, “You try it first, if it doesn’t work, I will try again. The one who won the palace lantern.” Shi Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, “If I miss, can you hit it?” Lu Yun was at a loss for words.

There is nothing wrong with Shixiu saying this.

So he smiled wryly and stuffed a silver tael into Shixiu’s hand.

Shi Xiu took the silver taels and walked to the color booth. The eyes of everyone in the audience lit up. Shi Xiu was wearing a white shirt. She was handsome, with confidence on the corners of her eyebrows. I am afraid that those famous ladies who rarely go out will also be flustered.

She stepped forward to get a carved bow and three feathered arrows, and dropped the silver taels. After walking to the white line, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at the money dancing in the wind. The bow was bent like a full moon, and she focused on the arrows.

Everyone in the audience watched with bated breath, wanting to see if the handsome young man could shoot money with arrows. After a while, Shi Xiu still did not shoot arrows. Some people in the crowd began to laugh and relax, thinking that this young man was just bluffing.

At this moment, the bowstring slammed, and a feathered arrow flashed away. With a low sound, the feathered arrow had passed through the square eye of money, and everyone had not yet reacted. The second feathered arrow had already crossed the sky, red silk thread. From the interruption, the money fell to the ground. At this moment, the third feather arrow broke through the air, and was piercing the money on the arrow.

There was silence all around. On this night of the Yuan Dynasty, such silence seemed very strange. Shi Xiu smiled slightly, put away the bow and arrow, a smug smile appeared on his reddish face, and the surrounding applause sounded.

Shixiu gave the crowd a bow, turned to look at the middle-aged man who was twisting his beard in a daze, and said with a smile, “Is that eight-treasure glazed lantern belonged to me?”

The middle-aged man was bitter and unspeakable. While he was hesitating, a silver bell-like voice came from behind the curtain: “General Manager Gao, since this young man shoots money with arrows, it is natural to give palace lanterns.”

Shi Xiu was stunned for a moment. Although she had already seen a number of figures behind the curtain, she could not have imagined that the one who spoke was actually a woman. Thinking of the gossip that she had just heard, this family set up arrows and meant to invite relatives. The person behind is the lady of this family, so I can’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although she likes to wear men’s clothes and doesn’t treat herself as a woman, she is a normal girl after all.

I couldn’t help but look back at Lu Yun. Lu Yun was also applauding Shixiu’s archery skills. He didn’t learn much these days, but he only saw Shixiu’s true skills today.

Seeing Shi Xiu’s look for help, he stepped forward and said with a smile: “Since the master has said so, why doesn’t this manager go to fetch the lamp?”

As soon as Lu Yun stood next to Shi Xiu, the eyes of the audience lit up again. Although Lu Yun was not as handsome as Shi Xiu, his life experience and the influence of his father made him stand out. He is not a group of heroes, and Lu Shi and Lu Shi stand together against each other, making them more and more extraordinary.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and ordered his family to fetch the palace lanterns. He was about to come forward to talk, when the curtain was raised, a fifteen- or six-year-old girl in brocade came out. She was wearing light fur and brocade boots. Like a spring flower, the eyes are flowing like a spring wave with affection, making everyone take a deep breath.

She stepped forward and gave Lu and Shi a light salute: “Little girl Ji Lingxiang, I have seen two young masters, and 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. The hand of a wicked person, isn’t the bright pearl throwing darkness?” Her words were extremely fast, but the words were clear, making it sound like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

Even Shi Xiu, as a woman, was moved in her heart when she heard it. Even though she felt that she was a bit arrogant, she did not want to argue with her.

However, Lu Yun said as usual: “When the lady hung the lamp, she didn’t say that she would ask her fortune. Since we have already shot down the money, the lamp should belong to us. If the lady wants to breach the contract, I’m afraid that all the elders and villagers will not. I agree.” As soon as these words came out, even though the onlookers were fascinated by the girl’s beauty, they also talked a lot, and some people said lightly: “This young lady, you can’t count the words, you ask people’s identity, you don’t like this. A little boy, right?”

The face of the girl in the brocade changed, she was beautiful and had a powerful backstage, so she always wanted the wind and the rain, and no one was rude to her. Today, Lu Yun robbed him and attracted the scoundrel. Taunting, he couldn’t help but be furious, and a cold murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

In fact, although Lu Yun is young and energetic, how can he have no sense of beauty, but he has met girls like Jiang Roulan and Shi Xiu, the master of Zhaohua County, so he has no turbulence in his heart for Ji Lingxiang.

In terms of appearance, Jiang Roulan and Ji Lingxiang are only in the middle, but in terms of bearing, they are worlds apart. Roulan has both a gentle and kind nature, and also has the pride of the royal family that looks down on the world, that kind of pride It’s not the appearance on the outside, but the self-confidence and self-esteem that goes deep into the bone marrow. Even if it is as delicate as water, there are hidden waves under the water. That is Jiang Roulan.

Although Lu Yun didn’t really understand Rou Lan yet, the few times they met, he had already reflected Rou Lan’s shadow in his heart. Although it was as elusive as the bright moon, it was difficult to get rid of his admiration and love.

Although Shixiu is not as good as Ji Lingxiang in appearance, she is heroic and heroic, and she has no weak and rigid attitude of women, but she has another kind of arrogance, not to mention that they have been fighting side by side for many days.

In contrast, although Ji Lingxiang is beautiful and charming, she is arrogant and arrogant. Her temperament is not as good as soft blue, and her affection is not as good as stone embroidery. Ordinary teenagers may be dazzled by her beauty, but in Lu Yun’s eyes, she is like a clay sculpture. Puppets, no life at all.

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 easily folded. The steward packed it in a red brocade box and handed it to Shixiu.

After Shi Xiu took it, she walked out with joy. Lu Yun followed her with a smile on her face. Neither of them looked at the brocade-clothed girl, but walked out without saying anything.

When the audience saw that the palace lantern had been taken away, they all dispersed, leaving only the brocade-clothed girl who was still standing in front of the color booth with her silver teeth clenched. Attracting Lu Yun to come is a plan that has long been made. It was started the moment he found out that Lu Yun was out of the house. For this reason, people deliberately used words to attract Lu Yun and Shi Yujin to come.

Who knows that although someone came, it was Shi Yujin who took the light.

This brocade-clothed girl didn’t know that Shixiu was a woman, but only knew that she was Shi Yujin, who was as famous as Lu Yun. In fact, in her opinion, the personable Shi Yujin was more in line with her heart, but the master’s order was to let herself use The arrow grabbed the lamp and approached Lu Yun, but 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 core, and she also secretly worried whether the master would blame her.

Seeing her dejected expression, the manager Gao said in a low voice, “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 elder sister can go better and win the top court, the master is overjoyed, or he won’t blame me. Now the master is very angry, I’m afraid it will be a bad time this time.”

The middle-aged man said in a low voice, “Third miss rest assured, the first one has already ordered the removal of the person who ruined our affairs. Liu Rumeng is just a helpless and weak woman, and sooner or later it will fall into our hands.”

Ji Lingxiang didn’t say anything. Although she was young, she was not naive, nor did she think this matter would be resolved so easily. Besides, no matter what the outcome was, it had nothing to do with him. She was just worried about how she could get through this hurdle.

“The wheel of Falun turns in the sky, and the voice of Brahma comes up from the sky. The light of the lamp tree is a thousand lights, and the seven branches of flowers and flames are blooming. The shadow of the moon is suspicious of flowing water, and the spring breeze contains plums in the night. The lights are bright, and the bustling Royal Street is below. From the half-open and half-closed windows, there is a moving song, even in such a noisy night, the singing is so clear and audible.

In the elegant room upstairs, a beautiful girl with towering clouds and veils played the piano and sang softly, her voice was like a dream.

In a corner of the room, two men smiled and listened, each accompanied by two charming girls.

At the end of the song, a middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, “Good song, good lyrics, Brother Song is really good in writing, no wonder he helped Miss Liu win the position of the oiran, but I’m afraid he offended others?” Another young man with a cold expression Drunk-eyed and hazy said: “Brother Shang has been thinking too much. If someone really blames me for this trivial matter, I will avoid it for a while at most. If things change, not many people will remember this matter. But Brother Shang’s mood seems to be today. Very good, are you interested in watching my jokes?”

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, when my father called his staff to discuss matters recently, he often gave me words of encouragement. Credit, don’t worry, don’t dare to say anything else, I will be able to persuade them not to make trouble with you on Yueyingxuan’s side.”

Yu Lun smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said: “Actually, Ling Zun also hoped that his son would become a dragon, so in the past, he gave a lot of encouragement to Brother Shang. Brother Shang is a talent in charge of the court. Liang Xiang, I think Ling Zun just thinks that Brother Shang can accept the younger brother’s humble opinion and can use the camera, so he encouraged Xiongtai more. And General Lu is the Optimus Jade Pillar of Southern Chu after all. A little restraint, lest he go astray, I’m afraid I haven’t seen it in Shang Xiang’s eyes.”

Shang Chengye’s expression was high and he said proudly: “Of course, my father will not take that Lumen Shuzi in his eyes, and this person has colluded with Dayong’s important minister, Jiang Zheduo, my traitorous minister of Southern Chu, if you don’t think about it. This person has the heart of the army, I am afraid that my father will punish him long ago.”

Yu Lun’s heart moved, and he deliberately said: “Oh, Brother Shang, did you mean that the Marquis of Chu who married Princess Dayong? Although Song also thinks that this person is not very arrogant, but he can achieve today’s achievements, presumably not. Ordinary generation, I heard that this person once helped Emperor Yong to win the heir, and also helped King Qi to pacify Han. This kind of ability is rare in the world. General Lu was able to retreat from the Yongjun three-way army by himself. This kind of ability is extremely rare. Ordinary. No wonder everyone said that the two of them had a friendship of master and apprentice, but General Lu, as a general of Southern Chu, should be righteous and kill relatives.”

Shang Chengye slapped his palms and said, “That’s right, that Jiang Zhe lived up to the kindness of the king, betrayed the country and joined the enemy for the sake of prosperity, wealth, and honor, and then married the king’s wife. It is really absurd. Although Lu Can was educated under his family, the Lu family is from the Nanchu family. It should be righteous to kill relatives, but Lu Can not only defended Jiang Zhe in many ways, but even let his son go to Chang’an, which is quite suspected of collaborating with the enemy. If it wasn’t for his credit this time, my father would never let this matter go. And the Jing family in Jiaxing belongs to Jiang Zhe’s mother’s family. My father intends to get rid of the Jing family, and Lu Can is also a hindrance. It really makes no sense.”

Yu Lun smiled and said: “This must be because Master Xiang is too impatient. General Lu has always been strict with the world with rewards and punishments, and he will definitely not agree to kill people for no reason. But after all, it is also Jianghou’s mother’s family, isn’t Xiangye afraid of offending this person?”

Shang Chengye said contemptuously, “If it wasn’t for General Lu, my father would have already attacked the Jing family. Although Jiang Zhe is famous, he was probably boasted by the Dayong royal family for the sake of Princess Changle’s face. My father has also seen it before. If he is really talented, how can he not see that this person may have some conspiracy and tricks. He may have contributed a lot in the matter of winning the heir, but if he can help Li Xian to destroy the Northern Han, I don’t believe what he can do as a literati who has no power, I’m afraid he is just monitoring Qi King Li Xian for Emperor Yong.”

Hearing this, Yu Lun already knew that the upper management of Nanchu really did not think highly of Jiang Zhe, and he could also guess that this might be a way for Shang Weijun and others to maintain morale by belittling the enemy, but he only looked at Lian Shangcheng. Ye didn’t know much about Jiang Zhe’s talents, and he knew that Shang Weijun and others might not think much of Jiang Zhe. He was taught by Jiang Zhe in the past, so he naturally knew the harm of such underestimation of the enemy, but he naturally wouldn’t. Wanting to reverse Shang Chengye’s perception, he just smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, if Xiangye makes people do it slowly, I think it will be effective. The Jing family is also a noble family, and there must be unworthy children. , even if General Lu intends to maintain it, can he still make it difficult for one or two people and Xiangye?”

Shang Chengye’s eyes lit up and he thought about the feasibility of this method. After thinking about it for a long time, he showed a smug smile. He thought that using this method would not only satisfy his father’s wishes, but also secretly attack the Lu family. If his father knew about it, he would definitely Very satisfied.

After seeing this, he knew that Shang Chengye had already entered the Internet, so he deliberately changed the subject. He was very proficient in rhythm and poetry, and he was very knowledgeable about some anecdotes. Shang Chengye quickly forgot the episode just now and just concentrated on having fun. stand up.

In the middle of the night, the people on the street outside were gradually dispersing. Shang Chengye had already lost his strength to drink, so he helped the beautiful woman into the inner room to have fun, but Yu Lun stood by the window and looked at the sinking moon. His expression was gloomy. In the dead of night, it was always difficult for him to get rid of the loneliness in his heart, so on weekdays he often indulged himself until dawn, but tonight was different. He knew that there were people watching him in the dark, and those people had already begun to drive away passers-by. Lest he have the opportunity to mix into the crowd and escape, and he just wants to give them a chance.

He took out a hangover pill from his waist and took it. He secretly performed the gong several times, and felt that his energy and mind had stabilized.

He gently pressed the window lattice, and his body fell on the street like a flying geese, like a flower falling to the ground, quietly and silently.

There was a whispering voice in the dark, and after a while, in the vast morning mist, a figure of a woman in blue appeared. The woman was covered in a light veil. Although she was only walking slowly, she had a noble and graceful temperament. The two maids in strong suits followed closely behind them. Neither of these two girls covered their faces, revealing their delicate and beautiful faces. At first glance, they knew that they would not be over twenty years old, but their domineering sword aura made people uncomfortable. I can’t believe that these two have not yet reached their twenties.

Yu Lun looked at the three women, Junyi’s face showed a cynical smile, and said, “So Yueyingxuan has such a beautiful female swordsman, Song Mou really admires it, but I don’t know how much the girls are worth?”

The two girls had awe-inspiring murderous aura on their faces. Although the woman standing in the middle had her face hidden under a veil, her eyes also revealed an icy murderous intent. She said coldly, “Song Yu, since you like slick tongues. , then if this seat kills you, it will not be regarded as indiscriminate killing of innocents.”

Song Yu smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when he saw the woman in green with a wave of her hand, and the two girls were already pounced on with their swords, their swords gleaming, revealing endless murderous intent. The two girls had outstanding swordsmanship and cooperated very well. With a tacit understanding, Song Yu was in a hurry for a while.

The two girls were in high spirits, and they even shot killers, forcing Song Yu to step back.

The woman in Tsing Yi nodded lightly, and seemed quite satisfied with the swordsmanship of the two maids.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Song Yu stumbled and fell backwards. The two girls swung their swords and slashed down at the same time. At the critical moment, Song Yu’s figure was like a swimming fish and slipped from the two swords. Going out, at the same time, he pointed at the folding fan in his hand, and two black light flashes sunk into the throats of the two girls at the same time. The two girls shuddered at the same time and fell down, while Song Yu was already standing aside as if nothing had happened.

The woman in Tsing Yi was shocked, her eyes turned on the two girls, and she said coldly: “What a vicious hidden weapon, killing people with a smile, Your Excellency is so vicious.”

Song Yu showed a touch of arrogance on his face, and sneered: “Song has killed countless people, and he has never had the heart to pity Xiangxiang and cherish jade. These two girls are the lessons from the past. Will the girl still fight against Song?”

The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly, “Your Excellency is so arrogant. When this seat became famous, I’m afraid you hadn’t even graduated yet. Look at the sword.” Before the voice stopped, a sharp sword had already pointed to Song Yu’s chest, and Song Yu’s body followed suit. The sword flew back, and the two seemed to have cooperated ten thousand times before, but there was no gap between the sword and the sword.

When the sword was about to run out, the folding fan in Song Yu’s hand protruded. This trick reached the top of the mountain. The woman in Tsing Yi was caught off guard and returned the sword to block it. Song Yu took advantage of the situation to attack, and the two fought hard in the mist.

The woman in Tsing Yi’s swordsmanship is wonderful, reflecting the sinking moonlight, the sword light is like snow, and the dazzling streamer Feihong shrouds the figures of both of them.

On the other hand, Song Yu’s body was light, dancing endlessly in the sword light, the folding fan in his hand suddenly opened and closed, every movement was so clear and smooth, unrestrained and elegant, without a trace of murderousness, but as long as the woman in Tsing Yi showed a slight flaw , his moves will become ruthless and ruthless, silently passing through the sword net of the woman in Tsing Yi, directly attacking the key points, forcing her to return to the sword to protect him.

After fighting for a hundred and ten moves, the two were still evenly matched. The more murderous intent in the eyes of the woman in Tsing Yi, she had already made a name for herself more than ten years ago.

At this moment, on the other side of the tall building, there was a soft shout: “Stop.” Then a purple shadow flew down and was separating the woman in Tsing Yi and Song Yu. The two looked intently, but the person who came It 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, which was very dazzling.

Song Yu had a flash of light in his mind, and he had already thought of the identity of this old man. This man was the master of Mianli Zangzhen Euroning, who was hired by Shang Weijun himself.

He is Shang Weijun’s henchman, and he didn’t expect to appear here. Thinking of this person’s identity, Song Yu made a respectful demeanor and didn’t dare to say a word.

The woman in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, as if it was a little difficult to decide.

The old man said lightly: “Miss Xie, this person is a close friend of Young Master Shang, and Master Xiang knows him quite well. Everyone is working for him, so why kill each other? You tell Ji Shouzuo and Yan what I mean. Number one, they’ll understand.”

The woman in Tsing Yi finally let out a long sigh, retracted her sword, bowed her head, and then turned to leave. After a while, several middle-aged women appeared and took the bodies of the two girls away.

The old man sighed softly and said, “Qing Ben beautiful, how can you be a thief, I never thought that a famous disciple in the past would be reduced to this level today, it is really a pity and a pity. Song Yu, this old man has already noticed that you, in the name of the ruthless son, You have been involved in numerous major cases in Southern Chu. Some people call you the number one killer in the south of the Yangtze River, but you disappeared a few years ago. I didn’t expect you to live in seclusion in Jianye. What’s your purpose in approaching my son?”

Song Yu didn’t panic in his heart, but he showed panic and murderous intent on his face when his identity was revealed. He cautiously said: “Senior Ou is trying to punish evil and promote good? Although Song used to kill people, he is now a gold medalist. Washing hands in a basin, as for the relationship with the monk, it is not intentional.” He could feel the old man’s eyes fixed on his face, if he showed any flaws, he would definitely incur a thunderous blow from the old man.

However, what he said was not false. His relationship with Shang Chengye was indeed unintentional, but now he was using it to complete the task.

As for the leak of the killer’s identity, he did it intentionally, which can explain his unpredictable whereabouts for more than ten years.

Sure enough, the old man smiled and said, “This old man doesn’t care about these errands, he just feels a little pity, Song Min, you were originally a talented young man, but unfortunately you became a killer. Now that you have turned your back on your wrongdoing, you can return from your lost path. The old man has already checked, you and your son Sure enough, it was unintentional to get acquainted, but even if you are interested in approaching the young master, it is not a mistake to ask for a step in the life. The prime minister attaches great importance to you, and has already taken your case away, and no one will be there from now on. It is not difficult to find that you are a ruthless son, and you just want 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, and he seemed to be very grateful for Shang Weijun’s kindness, he bowed deeply and said, “Wansheng is ashamed, I have failed Xianyan. The teaching is just that Song traveled all over the world, and he has no idea of fame and fame. He also asked the senior to convey his wishes to Xiangye. However, Shang Gongzi regards Wansheng as siblings, so Wansheng has the intention to do something for the son. If Xiangye thinks it is inappropriate, It’s just that I won’t meet Master Shang in the later life.”

The old man’s eyes flashed, then became soft, and said lightly: “So it is, you have no desire to become famous, and the old man is not strong, but you have to keep yourselves safe, and you can’t be so ruthless. On the face of the old man, they let them go. If they know that you are no longer under the protection of Shang Xiang, you will inevitably suffer tragic revenge. Since you and the young master are destined to know each other, you can take care of it, and you have to do it yourself. ”

Hearing this, Song Yu sneered in his heart, knowing that the old man was forcing him to serve the Shang family. If he wanted to get out and leave, he was afraid that he would be killed, but he had expected this situation, and he deliberately showed a look of panic. , leaned over and bowed, and said, “Thank you for your teachings, Senior, Song Yu, thank you.” When he raised his head again, the purple-robed old man was nowhere to be seen.

Song Yu smiled slightly, but a trace of melancholy came back to his mind. He took over the task and approached Shang Chengye. Through this person, he influenced Shang Weijun’s decision. The danger of this task is unknown, but he was alone at the beginning. Naturally, there is nothing to fear, but now he has concerns, just hope that Liu Rumeng will not be implicated.

Song Yu couldn’t have imagined that at this moment, a graceful man was looking at him through the bead curtain, until after Song Yu’s figure disappeared, the man sighed softly and said to a middle-aged man behind him, “Such a person is here Jianye is stranded, why didn’t we find out.”

The middle-aged man said with sincerity and fear: “The first seat, there is no way to do this, our Chentang’s power in Jianye was suppressed by Yihuangtang, and naturally the news is not working, if it is not for our spies to find out that the first seat has invited Xie Hufa. Come on, don’t you know about this?”

That graceful man was Wei Ying, and he said coldly: “This Song Yu has an extraordinary bearing and a deep mind, and seeing that he has the ability to help Liu Rumeng win the position of the oiran, he knows that this person is very intelligent, such a person It should be recruited, but Ji Shouzu wants to kill people to vent his anger, which is really short-sighted.”

The middle-aged man did not dare to speak, but remained silent. Wei Ying sneered, “It’s a pity that this man is still in Shang Weijun’s hands, so I can only treat him as an enemy, and send someone to pay attention to him and report back from time to time.” The middle-aged man kept his promise, and Wei Ying’s eyes flashed coldly. He always felt that this young man would bring him a lot of trouble, but if he shot him, he might anger Shang Weijun. He sighed lightly and said, “The enemy is already ready to move, but here is just a fight, it’s really chilling, alas!”
