Yi Xiaodao was sitting on a large bluestone on the top of the mountain, holding an unknown wild fruit in his mouth, playing with a dead straw in his hand, and looking at the thatched cottage on the mountainside without blinking.
He Yue'er didn't come out of the thatched house for several days. If the smoke hadn't been coming out normally these days, Yi Xiaodao would have been unable to hold back and go to find out.
A lotus petal floated past his eyes, and the "Si Qing" on Yi Xiaodao's waist suddenly began to vibrate uncontrollably. Yi Xiaodao held it down, and "Si Qing" slowly calmed down.
A girl suddenly appeared from the side, baring her teeth and claws and saying: "Ah! Did it scare you?"
Yi Xiaodao bit off a large piece of pulp in one bite, and a large amount of juice flowed out. He said calmly: "I knew you were coming before you even moved your sword. What did you do to 'Siqing' that night?"
"Oh, it's so boring. You can pretend that I'm not scared and cooperate with me to make me happy..." Fu Qing pouted and said reluctantly.
Yi Xiaodao was silent for a moment, placed the wild fruit on the big bluestone, and covered his heart with his hands: "Ah! It scared me to death! What a ghost in broad daylight!"
Fu Qing kicked over: "Fuck you! It's too perfunctory!"
Yi Xiaodao chuckled, picked up the wild fruit and continued to chew: "How are Li Dingxing and the others doing?"
"Them? They held a funeral for Xue Mang and the little fat man, and appeased the Donglu gangs. The gang members who promised to contribute in this battle and the Donglu army who defected before the battle were rewarded with ten taels of silver each. Confucius contributed the most and was rewarded with a silver reward of 500,000 taels. Each gang was so happy that they almost elected him as the King of Donglu. They are now leading the Nanhuai Army, Shangwu Camp and Huizheng Camp on their way back to Nanhuai. Lin Jun has returned to the capital." Fu Qing told him everything he knew.
Yi Xiaodao's expression finally changed: "Confucius is giving a reward of five hundred thousand? Confucius is not short of money at all, so what's the use of giving them a silver reward? How can he get so much money at ten taels of silver per person? Nanhuai Army, Shangwu Camps and levying camps require money to maintain them. Not to mention that he was exempted from the Nanhuai tax for one year, even if he handed it over, it was also handed over to the Daqi court. Is he unable to survive? "
Fu Qing rolled her eyes at Yi Xiaodao: "Do you think everyone is just like you, picking at So So Sou? After all, he belongs to the Nanhuai Wang family, so he is naturally generous. But he also said that this is the most stingy reward he has ever given!"
"Go to Kong Men and ask him to send orders to all gangs to get their money back!" Yi Xiaodao gritted his teeth and said.
Fu Qing snatched the wild fruit from Yi Xiaodao's hand and opened his mouth to bite it, but Yi Xiaodao snatched it back and took another one from his arms and threw it over.
Fu Qing wrinkled Xiaoqiong's nose, took the wild fruit and took a big bite. Her eyes were so sweet that they bent into a line: "Feng Nan from Nanhuai had already led people to transform the warships of the Eastern Japanese. Fan. That day, Wang Xuan led his troops to pursue the Japanese in a hurry, and the Dong Japanese did not pay attention. When they reached the sea, the Nanhuai army dug through the Dong Japanese warships, and the Dong Japanese fled to a nearby island, where Wang Xuan led his men. It’s going to be a fierce battle to catch up!”
"What happened next?" Yi Xiaodao knew that she wouldn't say this for no reason, and Yi Xiaodao was still more interested in it as it related to Wang Xuan.
"Later? Later, of course, the Japanese soldiers were defeated. Those who were killed were killed and those who drowned were drowned. Wang Xuan discovered on the island that it turned out to be the place where the Japanese people hid their gold and silver treasures. I don't know how much they cost. Anyway, it was Great harvest, hehe." Fu Qing smiled naively.
Yi Xiaodao's anxious heart finally relaxed a little: "Okay! Okay!" Apart from compliments, Yi Xiaodao didn't know what to say. There was no better news than hearing "I'm rich."
"And the body of your master Si Wangnan was taken away by people from Penglai. I think there is some connection. My father told me not to go near Laoshan, so I didn't dare to go." Fu Qing quickly gnawed a wild fruit After finishing, he stretched out his hand and started groping in Yi Xiaodao's arms again.
Yi Xiaodao grabbed two wild fruits from his arms, stuffed them into Fu Qing's arms, and said angrily: "No more, they were picked from the fruit tree over there!"
Fu Qing grabbed another wild fruit and gnawed it. Looking at the hut below, he asked, "Do you plan to keep it like this forever?"
"I don't know." Yi Xiaodao confessed.
"What did your master tell you before he died?" Fu Qing reminded.
"There is a great calamity in Daqi, so let me practice martial arts diligently..." Yi Xiaodao murmured.
Fu Qing was so angry that he stamped his feet: "You're so stupid, forget it! Your master told you not to follow his old path! I know even if I'm not here! Are you just sitting here, wasting time, trapped by love?"
"Then what should I do?" Yi Xiaodao asked blankly.
"Either you go down and have a peaceful chat with her, or you go back to Beijing to meet the emperor and see what you can do for the common people of Daqi! A man's ambition should be like a mighty river, running eastward to the sea! " Fu Qing persuaded.
Yi Xiaodao lowered his head: "Let me think about it, I'm very confused now..." Suddenly he remembered something, raised his head and asked: "Hey, won't you ask the Prime Minister in return? Don't worry, I will ask for credit from His Majesty, I dare not say a guarantee What, at least no one will cause trouble for the prime minister."
Fu Qing pouted, but this time she looked really disappointed: "I just remembered to ask me now..."
"Aren't you by my side? As long as I'm here, I won't worry about you." Yi Xiaodao said straightforwardly.
Fu Qing felt sweet in her heart when she heard that, she turned away and smiled secretly, and then replied with a straight face: "My father said that your future will be unlimited, so let me follow you closely, which is also a sign of loyalty to the imperial court." , ask Xiangge for information about the rivers and lakes, and you can use it as much as you like.
Of course, Fu Qingsong never said this. Wen Xiangge was based in the world and relied on the detailed information about the world. How could he tell everything without reservation? Fu Qing didn't even know that she had fallen in love with Yi Xiaodao. She just wanted to use Wen Xiangge's Jianghu information as a bargaining chip so that she could stay by his side. The huge Wen Xiangge was given away by her so easily.
"Pavilion Master Shi is really thoughtful..." Yi Xiaodao had mixed feelings in his heart. He asked Xiangge what Jianghu's information meant. He knew it very well. It was much better than the scattered fragments that Hu Lishan knew. Yi Xiaodao was shocked by everything Hu Lishan said in the prison, let alone now that he had the powerful help of Wen Xiangge.
Seeing that Yi Xiaodao was dumbfounded and didn't say a word, Fu Qing took out two small bells from his arms and handed them to Yi Xiaodao: "Here, this is the messenger bell for us to ask the Prime Minister. You just need to ring it." Shake this and I will appear in front of you."
No matter how stupid Yi Xiaodao was, he understood Fu Qing's intention at this time. He looked at the little bell and didn't reach out to pick it up for a moment. Fu Qing was so anxious that he stuffed it into Yi Xiaodao's hand: "Don't think I don't know, Kong Bao , Gao Cui, Dongfang Zhong, every time you meet a master of martial arts, are you scarred? Don’t be sentimental. If you die, how will I explain to the elders at the Prime Minister’s Pavilion when I go back!"
Yi Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he was overthinking it. How could someone like the prime minister's daughter be so interested in a poor country boy like him? Although he is now a minor official, does it matter whether he is promoted or demoted, or is it a matter of the emperor's word?
Yi Xiaodao took the small bell and held it cold. Two small lotus flowers were painted on the two small bells, which were very delicate and delicate. The more Yi Xiaodao looked at it, the more he liked it, and his depressed mood was relieved a lot. He put the bell in his arms and said, "Okay, I've written it down. If you can, Miss Fu, say hello to Pavilion Master Shi and Senior Fu for me."
Fu Qing stuffed the last wild fruit into his mouth and gnawed: "I'll give you some good news. The man who married He Yue'er is Ge Cifeng, the crown prince of Chu Xiang. Not yet married. It's ridiculous to say that the wedding and grafting team, musicians, and the auditorium were all paid for by He Yue'er."
"Not yet? Then they..." Yi Xiaodao just wanted to hear the key information at this time, and he no longer cared about who paid for it.
"On the day of the wedding until late at night, after all the guests who had paid for the invitation had dispersed, He Yue'er was protected by a hundred guards and returned to this thatched house. Since then, He Yue'er has only occasionally gone down the mountain. Wandering around in Wancheng, I didn't have a blind date with Ge Cifeng. The marriage between the two seemed like...a deal, made for someone to see."
Yi Xiaodao was ecstatic, it turned out that it was just a game, and He Yue'er was still perfect!
"I understand. Where is Ge Cifeng now? Is he still in Wancheng?" Yi Xiaodao asked, staring at Fu Qing closely.
Fu Qing spread his hands and said: "This is what I want to tell you. He has left Wancheng, and once he returns to Chu Xiang, regardless of how he decides, even the King of Chu Xiang will have no scruples. Hunan and the imperial court are about to start a war."
This is the unanimous opinion of the Prime Minister. Since the treasure is bet on the imperial court, we must do our best to protect the imperial court. Not just asking the Prime Minister, no one in Eastern Shandong and Nanhuai, from the high officials of the imperial court to the common people of Li, wanted to see the imperial court collapse at this time.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the thatched house, a little hesitant, and Fu Qing continued to persuade: "Don't worry, that little girl will not do anything wrong. Of course there is someone in the court to protect her. Although I don't know who it is yet, But I’m sure that if we take action, you will never be that person’s opponent!”
The words of love reminded Yi Xiaodao of seeing the man in black who crashed out of the window that night. Sun Hong, the captain of the Hundred Guards who was not assisting the guard at that time, was also present, but she did not know the identity of the other party, only that she was a woman.
Now that I hear Fu Qing's words again, I feel much more at ease. Wen Xiangge's Jianghu Top 100 list is not fake. It can be regarded as the official Jianghu ranking list. Yi Xiaodao also agrees with this.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the capital now, what about you?"
"I will go wherever you go, but I am a restless person. I may be in the capital today and in Dingliao tomorrow. What do you care about me?" Fu Qing also felt that he had revealed too much to Yi Xiaodao, and his intentions were with Yi Xiaodao. Keep a sense of mystery in front of you.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "Okay, your abilities are unpredictable, and I'm not worried about you. But girls should be more careful when they are alone. If anything happens, come to me at any time."
Fu Qing didn't respond, threw a lotus flower, and disappeared. Yi Xiaodao had become accustomed to this and was no longer surprised. He finally looked at the thatched house halfway up the mountain, stood up, and headed towards the capital.
As soon as Yi Xiaodao left, a lotus petal appeared on the spot. He left and returned, standing there, pursed his lips and snickered: "You still care about me, you look silly~"
