Xuanyangfang, Xue Zhai.
Because Xue Bai went to the palace for a banquet, Qing Lan invited Nian Nu to come over and teach her singing. She had always been resentful that Xue Bai disliked her singing and dancing, and she wanted to scare him after she learned it.
Yan Yan was too lazy to learn this and claimed to be in poor health, so she just sat on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, eating snacks and listening to Nian Nu singing.
After each song, they drank some fruit juice and chatted. It seemed like they had held a small banquet, but the atmosphere was better than the royal banquet in the palace.
"Niannu, you sing so well, why don't you join a pear garden and become a disciple of a saint?" Yan Yan couldn't help but wonder, "I heard that the musician who played matchmaker for you at that time has now been named a beauty."
"The slave family does not seek wealth, but wants to live a simple life."
Yan Yan took a sip of fruit juice and spoke without restraint, saying, "It's just a pity that you have such a good voice that you didn't sing to the princes, generals and ministers. Only a few of us can hear it tonight."
Nian Nu hurriedly said: "The slave family would rather sing to the lady."
Her words immediately made Yong'er wary. Yan Yan was very happy, and hurriedly pulled Nian Nu's hand, asking her to stay and talk tonight.
"My husband has told me that he doesn't know when he will come back. Even when he comes back, he sleeps in the guest room. How about we keep talking at our daughter's house?"
"Okay, okay." Niannu responded delicately.
They chatted about the new opera for a while, and when the time came, Yan Yan yawned and prepared to go to bed.
Niannu couldn't help but wonder: "Madam, won't you hold the lamp for Xue Lang?"
"He will carry the lantern himself and ignore him."
Yan Yan muttered in response, and soon her breathing became even.
On the contrary, Nian Nu was worried that it would be inconvenient for Xue Bai to come back. One moment he thought of the curfew in Chang'an and he might not come back in the middle of the night; the other moment he thought of the saint's banquet and he was always allowed to walk under the curfew.
But after sleeping until dawn, just as Yan Yan said, Xue Bai did not return to the main room. Hearing Qing Lan say that he returned home in the middle of the night, he was afraid of disturbing Yan Yan's sleep, so he rested in the guest room in the outer courtyard. He was still awake at this time.
Chang'an City is mostly filled with wives who revolve around their husbands, but Nian Nu is rarely seen like Yan Yan. At least as far as she knew, every time Xue Bai was about to come, Mrs. Guo Guo was always waiting thoughtfully.
Nian Nu didn't dare to stay any longer and left immediately.
Yan Yan got up to wash up after a while, listening to Yong'er chattering in the process.
"My wife, you don't take your husband seriously, don't you? She doesn't leave a light for him at night..."
"If I want to wait for him, he will worry about me instead. What a good thing."
"Have you noticed, Madam, that Niannu was sent by Mrs. Guo to inquire about Xue's residence?"
Yan Yan smiled and asked a question, "Don't you think it's interesting? Isn't it just like the details of the stories my husband told me?"
Yong'er didn't think it was interesting. He just felt that his wife was a little too heartless. She only cared about her own happiness, but she didn't seem to care about her husband that much. This "care" is the kind of care between men and women.
It must be because he is still young and does not understand the relationship between men and women... Yong'er thought like this, and felt helpless when dealing with Yan Yan.
The next moment, Qing Lan rushed in and reported in a somewhat joyful tone.
"Madam, Du Erniang is here and has given you a lot of silk and satin."
"I'll go meet her in the hall."
"Second mother and husband will discuss some business matters first."
Only then did Yan Yan become concerned, and whispered to herself: "Brother only talks to Du Erniang because he deliberately avoids me."
"What did the lady say?"
"Please invite Du Erniang to have breakfast together." Yan Yan smiled.
~~
Xue Bai opened his eyes and saw Du Jin sitting by the couch. This scene seemed familiar, so he smiled and said, "I thought I was back at Du's house."
"drunk?"
"The song ends in high spirits, and one must return drunk."
"I heard from Grandpa that something happened again at the royal banquet last night."
"Yes, I always cause trouble. Li Longji should dislike me." Xue Bai said, "But just by solving these countless small troubles one by one, they will not cause big troubles in the future."
"Who's causing trouble for you?"
"Wu Huaishi."
Xue Bai first gave an overview of what happened, and finally said: "Yao Siyi relied on the emperor's favor to take bribes, bend the law, and be arrogant and domineering. This is not terrible. On the contrary, it is Wu Huaishi who is friendly and approachable on the surface, but is ruthless when he stabs behind his back." .”
"Yao Siyi didn't recruit Wu Huaishi in the end?"
"No move." Xue Bai said, "It can be seen that Yao Siyi is more afraid of offending Wu Huaishi than getting offended."
"It's dangerous to have such an enemy in the palace," Du Jin said. "His few words may ruin your life. You must find a way to get rid of him."
Xue Bai smiled and said: "With my second mother supporting me, he is dead."
Du Jin patted him and said, "I'm not joking with you. I really intend to kill him."
Xue Bai held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and said, "I know, after what happened yesterday, Ge Nu also plans to kill Zhang Bian."
"Are you, Li Tengkong and Li Yuetu really innocent?"
"Yeah, you see, I respect myself so much that I can't even criticize my political opponents." Xue Bai made a rare joke.
"Humph, is this your self-respect?" Du Jin moved away and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, you rest for two days, I will count the time... You will have to work hard for a few more days."
"good."
Having said this, Du Jin's expression became solemn.
She guessed that Du Xu was infertile. As for her, when she was the crown prince Liangdi, the eldest son Li Chu was already born in the East Palace. Li Heng also knew that she had scheming intentions and deliberately alienated her, so she never thought that it would be difficult for her to have children.
But since she decided to have a child with Xue Bai in Yanshi County, she had been struggling for so long but there was no movement. In addition, Xue Bai had married Yan Yan, which made her a little worried.
But this matter cannot be forced, so she quickly recovered her mind and asked: "Have you met Princess Boping?"
"See you."
Mentioning this matter, the two of them couldn't help but lower their voices.
"After an accident like Yao Siyi's, it wasn't discovered, right?" Du Jin asked.
"Li Longji should know that Li Yuetu went to see Wei Shi, but he hasn't thought about it yet that I want to see Princess Boping... But, he may think about it in the future."
"Is it worth taking such a big risk?"
"It's worth it. According to Princess Boping, she saw those guards beating Li Qian to death with her own eyes."
"Who else was present at this matter?" Du Jin asked.
To impersonate the emperor's grandson, they'd better find an insider willing to perjure themselves. This incident made Du Jin very excited and temporarily forgot her troubles.
"She didn't remember the names of the generals of the Imperial Guard, but she mentioned a key figure." Xue Bai said: "King Ruyang, Li Jing."
"The emperor's son?" Du Jin asked, "Why him?"
The so-called "Emperor Rang" Li Xian, whose original name was Li Chengqi, was Li Longji's eldest brother. After Tang Ruizong ascended the throne, Li Xian refused to become the crown prince and gave way to Ping Wang Li Longji, which led to the later Kaiyuan rule.
Li Xian and Li Longji had always had a deep brotherhood. In the 29th year of Kaiyuan, Li Xian passed away. At this point, Li Longji lost all his brothers, and this was also the reason why he changed his name to "Tianbao".
"Shortly after the longevity king Li Xuan was born, Li Longji adopted him to Li Xian."
"I have heard about this." Du Jin said, "It is said that it is not that the saint does not like this son, but that he loves Concubine Wu Hui too much. Concubine Wu Hui had three children who died in infancy, so after Li Chan was born, the saint thought that The palace was not suitable to raise him, so he was adopted by Li Xian. When he grew up and was in good health, the saint took him back to the palace and named him the 'King of Longevity', in order to wish him a long life."
"Yes, Li Jin has been in Prince Ning's Mansion since he was a child and has a deep friendship with Li Xian's sons." Xue Bai said, "So Concubine Wu Hui has always brought Li Xian's sons as helpers. When investigating the case of the three common people, Li Jin was the one who handled the case. One of them must have been instructed by Concubine Wu Hui to ensure that Li Xuan became the crown prince. However, Princess Boping asked me, 'Did King Ruyang save you?'"
"In other words, although Li Jing was on Concubine Wu Hui's side at the time, he had kind thoughts towards Li Ying's children?"
"That should be the case. More specifically, Princess Boping doesn't know. We still have to investigate."
"I'll send someone to find out." Du Jin said.
"This matter is not urgent. I've done a lot. Once Li Longji notices it, I'm afraid he will think that I went to Yeting for an ulterior purpose." Xue Bai said, "Right now, the key is to develop my strength by leveraging Li Linfu's momentum. , have you brought the objects built in Luhun Villa?"
"A group will arrive in Chang'an today..."
~~
Eagle Dog Shop.
This is where saints kept eagles and dogs. Important figures in the palace who committed crimes would be imprisoned here.
The morning after the Tai Chi banquet, Wu Huaishi entered the Eagle Dog House, walked past the huge cages, and stopped in front of the last large wooden cage. He looked up and down and said, "It's quite spacious."
In the wooden cage, Yao Siyi was still sleeping. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes immediately and rolled and crawled to the fence.
"General Wu, I didn't betray you."
"Don't worry." Wu Huaishi said, "I understand what you mean, and I will protect you."
He sighed leisurely, and then said: "It's not a big deal, it's just framed Xue Bai, it's not a premonition."
We are both old men in the palace, and we both know that in the heart of a saint, the sin of prophecy is much greater than that of subordinates trying to frame each other.
Yao Siyi said: "I have thought about it carefully. Once Xue Bai calls out 'the dirty palace', the saint can only judge him to be innocent. This has nothing to do with whether the saint believes him or not, but it is the only way to judge this case. That’s why I ended up here.”
"Yes, this is exactly the truth." Wu Huaishi said: "I have long advised you to file a complaint with the saint first."
"I regret not listening to General Wu."
"Let me ask you." Wu Huaishi said: "Since Xue Bai and Princess Hezheng are innocent, why did he follow her to Yeting?"
"Innocent?"
Yao Siyi still didn't believe it and murmured: "But Ye Ting has nothing. Apart from having a tryst with Princess Hezheng, what else can he do?"
Wu Huaishi asked: "Did they go to see Webster?"
"General Wu also knows that Princess Hezheng goes to see Wei Shi every year." Yao Siyi said, "For the sake of serving the saint for so many years, please give me a lighter sentence."
"You are also an old man next to a saint. How can I punish you severely for this little thing? I have brought food and wine. You can use it first. After the news has passed, I will find you another job."
"Thank you, General Wu."
The wine and food were pushed into the wooden fence, which was different from the food usually fed to the dogs. After all, Yao Siyi was a eater, so naturally he could not entertain him with ordinary wine and food.
"Let me tell you, the saint no longer trusts Xue Bai. He was forced to express his position in order to settle the matter as soon as possible." Yao Siyi drank the wine with surprise in his eyes. He first praised: "General Wu has taken it. Come entertain me with good wine... Believe me, this case is not over yet, sooner or later the saint will find other reasons besides Xue Bai."
Wu Huaishi listened to this silently with a smile, thinking that Yao Siyi was right.
There is no way a saint would judge someone for being an unclean person, so at the Tai Chi banquet last night, Xue Bai only had to make the matter clear, and the saint could only smile and praise him as a gentleman. He had no choice.
We have to wait until time has passed and the rumors of "dirty and chaotic palaces" have completely disappeared, then it will be time for the saint to truly judge.
"The saint still trusts you." Wu Huaishi looked at Yao Siyi and sighed with a smile: "But if you are left to stir up trouble, when will things calm down?"
Yao Siyi was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook, but not a drop of wine fell.
He subconsciously put his fingers to his throat and dug at it.
"vomit!"
Before he could spit it out, he had stopped moving... Thinking back to Wu Huaishi's last words, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. The saint wanted his slave to die, so he had no choice but to die.
This is not because the saint has exhausted his kindness to him, but because he can only save the saint's face by dying.
Wu Huaishi squatted in front of the wooden fence for a long time, watching Yao Siyi's face gradually turn gray before he stood up.
"Let's go back and deliver the message."
After leaving Yinggufang and returning to Xingqing Palace, I saw that Gao Lishi was not in front of the emperor today, and another eunuch replaced Gao Lishi.
"General Yuan." Wu Huaishi stepped forward, bowed, and said, "The man named Yao is dead."
"Ah, what a bastard, you dare to use the same name as me." Yuan Siyi sneered.
Nowadays, the saint has set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Supervisor is a third-rank official, which is jointly held by Gao Lishi and Yuan Siyi. It can be seen that Yuan Siyi is very favored by the saint and is almost regarded as the successor of Gao Lishi.
It can be seen that even Gao Lishi, who is inseparable from the saint, may be replaced at any time.
Yuan Siyi has been in the palace for a long time, but it was only more than half a year ago that he was promoted to the rank of General of the Prison Gate Guard, and then to the rank of General, and served as the Provincial Supervisor. His character was not as smooth as Gao Lishi's, he was arrogant and favored, and his relationship with the courtiers was not good. He was especially close to An Lushan. The saint trusted An Lushan, so he also trusted Yuan Siyi.
"It must be that the person named Yao couldn't bear the name, so he just hit the wall." Wu Huaashi joked.
"Did you ask anything?" Yuan Siyi asked.
"No." Wu Huaishi said, "Yao did not send anyone to follow Princess Hezheng. We only know that she went to see Wei Shi. But who else she met in Yeting Palace has not been found out yet."
"General Gao knows," Yuan Siyi said, "Every time Princess Hezheng goes to Yeting, she will buy some items for General Gao to send to various palaces in Yeting."
"That's strange." Wu Huaishi whispered: "Why did General Gao tell the saint that Xue Bai only accompanied Princess Hezheng to fulfill his filial piety out of the righteousness of a friend and the heart of a loyal minister?"
"He always does more things than less things, but we can't let the saint be kept in the dark. You should investigate this matter carefully."
"Don't worry, General Yuan."
Wu Huaishi was about to resign, but Yuan Siyi called out to him again.
"By the way, the saint and the noble concubine plan to play "The Legend of White Snake" again. Please take care of this matter."
"White Snake? This song has never been sung in the palace."
Yuan Siyi showed a kind smile and said: "The saint said that the concubine likes this drama more, so you can arrange it."
~~
Xue Zhai.
In the guest room, Xue Bai and Du Jin chatted for a long time. When their mouths became dry, Qing Lan's voice came from the courtyard.
"Mr. Lang, a visitor has arrived, claiming to be Wu Huaishi from the palace."
"he?"
After hearing this, Du Jin in the room frowned and said, "Other people don't know, but Wu Huaishi knows that your tryst with Fan Nuzhen will be a disaster sooner or later."
"Don't worry, this man is good at stinging, and he will bite me on the neck when he gets the chance." Xue Bai said, "He must be asking me to apologize when he comes today. Can you make a bet?"
"Who dares to bet with you?"
Du Jin occasionally acted coquettishly in front of Xue Bai.
Since he was disturbed, Xue Bai went to the outer hall to see Wu Huaishi, but he did not let Du Jin listen behind the screen.
…
"General Wu is here. I was wronged last night, so I have to thank General Wu."
"Xue Lang is too polite." Wu Huaishi said, "I told General Gao that Xue Bai is the most honest and forthright person, so he must be innocent."
"Really?" Xue Bai smiled, saluted and thanked him, and said, "It's a pity that Yao Siyi promised me the official position."
Wu Huaishi saw that he said two sentences in a row without mercy, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that many people wanted to be friends with this guy but ended up becoming life-and-death enemies. It was really difficult to get along with him.
It can be seen that when he was in Yanshi at that time, Lu Linghao must have tolerated him in every possible way, but he was still eliminated by Xue Bai.
"Haha, don't worry, Xue Lang. With Xue Lang's status in the eyes of the saint, promotion will be a matter of time." Wu Huaishi smiled and said, "The saint even praised you after the banquet. You have the style of an upright gentleman."
"real?"
"Of course it's true!" Wu Huaishi said with a straight face: "The sage said that you have good conduct when it comes to women, which shows that you are reliable."
After that, he lowered his voice, became closer to Xue Bai, and said: "There is another matter... Yao Siyi is dead, Xue Lang will treat it as if he died to apologize to you, and the matter will be over from now on."
"Is it really over?"
"I came today to tell Xue Lang some good news. The saint wants to arrange another production of "The Legend of White Snake" in the palace. This matter requires a lot of trouble from you, Tai Le Cheng."
Xue Bai was surprised.
He didn't understand. Could it be that because of last night's trouble, Li Longji knew that he was not a womanizer, so he trusted himself more?
"It's just... I'm afraid I can't find anyone to play Fa Hai."
"Xue Lang, please don't laugh."
~~
Behind the screen, Du Jin listened for a while and realized that the business was over. She vaguely felt someone looking at her, turned her head, and saw a figure in an attic in the backyard.
That's Yan Yan.
Du Jin then walked over there and climbed to the attic, where she saw Yan Yan holding a long copper tube, looking carefree.
"Second sister is here. The silk satin you gave me is very beautiful."
"I have something to discuss with Xue Bai at the shop." Du Jin said, "Qing Lan said that it was your idea to give Xue Zhai's money to me for interest?"
"My grandpa said that all government agencies rely on profit for food. I have to thank my second sister for this. I can eat a lot more good things."
Du Jin walked to the railing, looked at the pavilions and pavilions of Xue's house, and whispered: "I am in charge of the money for his work. Do you also leave the money at home to me?"
Yan Yancai ignored her implication and pursed her lips in response.
In the distance, Xue Bai was sending Wu Huaishi away.
She then pointed at the long copper tube in her hand and said, "That palace official always smiles every time he comes. He has a good relationship with my husband."
"You are still young and don't understand the dangers of the human heart."
"Second sister knows a lot about official affairs, right?"
Du Jin glanced sideways at Yan Yan and saw that she was still childish, but she could see her cunning. This little girl was clearly a patient of Li Tengkong, but she ended up marrying Xue Bai. How could it be what she seemed on the surface? So simple?
She would not be soft-hearted because of her young age, and decided to take advantage of these two years to give birth to Xue Bai's eldest son.
"There is no way." Du Jin said: "My grandfather's vision and talent are far inferior to yours. I can only work harder than you."
After answering like this, she looked at Yan Yan, smiled, turned around and got off the platform.
Yan Yan watched her back walking away, and when she wasn't paying attention, she waved her fist. He muttered in a low voice: "Who are you looking down on? Do you really think that I married my brother because of my parents' orders?"
Not long after, I saw Xue Bai turning back from the front door, but there was a woman walking side by side with him.
Yong'er was shocked and said anxiously: "Madam, who is that?"
Qing Lan understood these things, came over and explained a few words, and finally said: "Nian Nu is a singer, Xie Aman is a dancer."
"That's really singing and dancing..."
~~
"You shouldn't come today, just in case anyone thinks that you took me out of the Taichi Banquet."
"Don't worry, no one thinks you have been to Chengxiang Hall." Xie Aman looked at Xue Bai and complained a little: "Who doesn't know that you, Xue Lang, are a gentleman, and you are calm in your affairs."
Xue Bai heard her sarcasm and said calmly and humbly: "I just respect myself, not worth mentioning."
"whispering sound."
Xie Aman was angry and funny, glared at him, and then said: "If I don't want to make trouble with you, I came here on the orders of the noble concubine to let you re-arrange the Legend of White Snake. After all, the last performance has not been finished yet. "
"The saint doesn't mind?"
"How can a saint be frightened by an assassination?"
Xue Bai actually asked not this, but whether Li Longji still minded that he had saved Yang Yuhuan to the Palace of Eternal Life and spent the night together.
But Xie Aman didn't understand, so he dropped the topic.
"Also, I'm here to warn you today." Xie Aman suddenly straightened his face and said with a serious expression: "In the future, you should have no contact with Fan Nu. Since she chose to enter the palace, she should Abide by your duty. You must not lose your integrity and lose the trust that the imperial concubine has in you. Otherwise, when you both die, the imperial concubine will not save you again."
"This matter was originally a misunderstanding. I will stay vigilant in the future and will not be deceived like that again." Xue Bai asked, "Is anyone still investigating this matter?"
"No, it's all over. The saint specifically told General Gao not to check. The imperial concubine has one last message for you. There are only four words, 'Jueying's Banquet'." Xie Aman asked: "Do you understand what it means? ?"
If Xue Bai didn't understand, she would be willing to explain.
Unfortunately, Xue Bai could understand that it was about the king of Chuzhuang having a banquet with his ministers. Late at night, they were drinking heavily. Suddenly the lights went out. Someone touched the beauty of the king of Chuzhuang. The beauty cut off his crown tassel as a mark, but the king of Chuzhuang ordered All the ministers had to cut off their crowns and tassels before they were willing to light candles. Three years later, Chu and Jin fought, and a Chu general made great achievements. It was the man who touched the beauty that year.
"Your concubine thinks that saints should imitate King Chuzhuang?"
"Of course I know you were wronged." Xie Aman said, "The saint praised you several times."
This was the second time Xue Bai heard this today. Since the content he heard twice was the same, it must be that the romantic emperor had really put the past behind him.
~~
Li Linfu heard about the subsequent progress of the Taichi Banquet and thought that the saint was just not pursuing the case for the time being.
He saw more keenly that this matter was very different from the banquet of Jueying. The saint did not order all the ministers to Jueying like King Zhuang of Chu. Instead, he executed the "beauty" who complained, thinking that it was a false accusation. As if it never happened.
In other words, the saint cared much more than King Zhuang of Chu.
Li Linfu did not speak directly to Xue Bai, but said: "You have always behaved like a gentleman, so I saved you. In the future, you should be more careful. If you make such mistakes again, no one can save you." .”
Li Tengkong, who was standing aside, heard this and glanced at Xue Bai, secretly thinking that he was not a gentleman at all. He hugged and hugged her again and again, but in the end he claimed to be a gentleman in public, which was really shameless.
Xue Bai said casually: "The right prime minister is wise and can turn the tide, and he can really fix the sea god's needle."
Li Linfu knew that he was perfunctory, but he still couldn't hide his pride when he thought of his performance at the imperial banquet.
Thinking about it again, Xue Bai used the "magic needle that fixes the sea" in the story as an analogy. In the end, this magical needle became a monkey's weapon, which is really unpleasant.
Now is not the time to argue about these trivial matters. He patted his knees and said: "If Zhang Qian is not eliminated, there will be troubles in the future..."
here we go again.
Even when Suo Douji was seriously ill, he still remained determined to fight.
Xue Bai did not think it was necessary to get rid of Zhang Bian now. Instead, he felt that there was no harm in having more different voices in the court.
However, Li Linfu did not treat him sincerely, and he was too lazy to talk to Li Linfu. He only said: "Then let's find a way."
"Um."
"Let's talk about Nanzhao." Xue Bai said: "I made some weapons and recommended some talents to Wang Zhongsi. Would you like to have a look with me, right minister?"
"Just hand it over and see what it really is."
"It's difficult to deliver the weapons. It will take three days. Please go to the general station outside the city to watch."
Li Linfu has been very tired recently. He waved his hand and said calmly: "Juro, when the time comes, you will be a father."
"Here."
"Go ahead."
Li Linfu didn't wait to get sick and felt a little tired, so he sent them away.
"That's right." Xue Bai said: "I haven't got a clue yet about the princess marrying An Qingzong."
"What did you think about it?"
Xue Bai said: "If you want to make a princess, let the emperor's daughter. The princess of Ji'an is the saint's favorite niece..."
"Cough cough cough."
Li Linfu coughed a few times, waved his hand and said: "The Lord of Ji'an County has greatly improved the Anqing Sect."
Xue Bai made a joke and had to admit: "I don't know much about the clan. I only know that the saint prefers his niece the most."
"Juro, go and list all the county heads and clan girls who may be granted the title of princess, and show it to Xue Bai."
"Here."
In this way, Xue Baicai and Li Xiu returned to the outer study.
Li Xiu pulled the rope hanging the bell again, called the mute slave, and made a few gestures.
Xue Bai glanced over casually, and with the rough mute language he had learned recently, he could tell that he was talking about "retrieving the royal family list."
The mute slave made a few gestures, probably saying "I need the key to the Thirteenth Library on the Right" or something like that.
After a while, the paperwork came.
As everyone browsed, Xue Bai noticed that some information about Ruyang King Li Jing was also among them.
And the moment the page turned over, he squinted his eyes and saw that the sentence "Zong Zheng Shaoqing in the 25th year of Kaiyuan" had been crossed out on the old paper.
It can be seen that Li Linfu knew to some extent what happened back then...
~~
It's strange that Xue Bai recently felt at ease whenever he sat in the study of Youxiang Mansion.
What he has to do now is very clear. Officially, he will give Wang Zhongsi some weapons to help him fight the Nanzhao battle; secretly, he will take advantage of a rare opportunity to find out the details of the three common people case. .
But he was also vaguely uneasy, feeling that some dangers had not passed, but were just hidden.
