Just when Shao Xi was jokingly asking Cheng Baiqiu what was the beauty of the star colored stone? The atmosphere in the dark room in Yuanzhou seemed a bit depressing. The aura emanating from the man in black robe made Gao Caiqia, who was standing behind him, afraid to take a breath. He just stood with his hands bowed behind him, just waiting for his master's call. Discipline.
"This Shao Xi is really not simple. It has been less than four months since he left Kyoto, and he has turned Yujiang County and Nanzhao Kingdom upside down in two months. Now that the private army in Yujiang County has been wiped out, the county guard The entire Zhao Huajun clan has been dealt with by him. You have just sent news that he actually teamed up with Han Zeng to exclude Fu Zuoliang from the Southern Zhao court. We underestimated him at the beginning, but this person really has some abilities. I have said a long time ago that people like Fu Zuoliang are not suitable to cooperate with us, he is too high-profile, and a person who does not know how to be diplomatic will end up like this sooner or later."
Gao Cai stood behind the man in black robe and quickly bowed and replied: "It's exactly what the Lord said. We did underestimate his ability at the beginning. Now it seems that this person is very valuable to win over. He has the ability to win over us." There is such a big commotion in Yujiang County and Nanzhao, if it can really be used by the Lord, it will definitely play a key role in the Lord's major events in the future."
The man in black robe shook his sleeves and turned the objects in his slightly pale hands slowly and rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something.
"The private army in Yujiang County was suppressed, and Fu Zuoliang of Southern Zhao was expelled from the court. These powers should be a test of his abilities. If this person can really be used by me, he can do more things in the future. By the way, I asked you to check if anyone with the surname Shao in Yingzhou City matches him? How did your check go?"
When Gao Cai heard his master ask about this, he quickly replied: "I previously suspected that this person was Shao Jinbao from Yingzhou City. After several months of investigation, no one named Shao Jinbao was found in Daliang City. Young man. The slave speculated that this person had changed his name to Shao Xi when he entered Daliang after leaving Yingzhou City. Moreover, the spring period had already ended, and Shao Jinbao’s name was not found on the published list. There was no return of Shao Jinbao in the report, so it can be basically concluded that the young man named Shao Xi is Shao Jinbao from Yingzhou City, but his name was changed to Shao Xi. As for the martial arts practice, there is no way to investigate, after all, before We have not paid attention to this person, and we don’t know whether he secretly practiced martial arts in Yingzhou before.”
Upon hearing this news, the man in black robe suddenly stopped turning the object in his hand, let out a soft breath, and seemed to let go of some worries in his heart, and then resumed turning the object in his hand.
"This is good! As long as we confirm that he is not the child from back then, we can avoid many unpredictable things from happening. It is always right for us to be careful in everything. The child from back then should have grown to this age now. If the name is changed, it will be hidden. If we return to Kyoto to take revenge for what happened back then, it will add a lot of unnecessary trouble to us. Now that this possibility has been ruled out, we have to put more effort into him. This person is indeed a useful person. talent."
Although he was just standing behind the man in black robe, Gao Cai nodded in agreement with the man in black robe, and at the same time there seemed to be a look of worry on his face.
Although the man in black robe did not turn around to look at Gao Cai, he seemed to know what Gao Cai was thinking at this time.
"Are you worried that the private army incident in Yujiang County and the incident involving Fu Zuoliang in Southern Zhao Kingdom will make him notice something strange and suspect us, right? Some measures should indeed be taken in this matter, and the destruction of evidence will be left to you. Let’s do it! Besides, you haven’t received any suspicion over the years, right?”
Gao Cai bowed and secretly raised his eyelids to glance at the man in black robes in front of him, and replied softly in a cautious tone: "Please rest assured, my lord, the identity of the slave over there is relatively public, and it is not easy to arouse people's suspicion. No one would have thought that I have been the Lord’s servant all these years, so this slave will handle this matter carefully.”
"Well, you have worked hard there over the years, so you should not arouse their suspicion, but you still have to be more careful. If you are exposed, I will also be exposed. What will be the consequences? You know it better than anyone else, so I don’t think I need to remind you any more. Even though Fu Zuoliang has been kicked out of the court, you still have to keep in touch with Nanbian and don’t take it lightly. Remember to do the things I told you before."
"I understand that I will do my best to handle everything my master has given me. I will never bring any trouble to my master. Please rest assured, my master! I am loyal to my master and will never do anything like this." I’m sorry about the Lord.”
"That's good! The connection with the east side must continue to be maintained and cannot be interrupted. Since we are using each other, we must naturally show sincerity to each other. Regular benefits must continue to be given. When we want to act, I will order someone to do that. Send them things. Seeing the things is a signal to take action, and you must also remind them to be careful. There must be no mistakes in so many years of preparation."
Gao Cai reminded the man in black robes with some uneasiness: "The things the Lord mentioned are not unique in this world. What if something goes wrong? What if they happen to receive the same thing as us? By mistaking the signal sent by us and taking action, wouldn’t we have exposed ourselves in advance? Lord, please be careful about this matter.”
"hehe……"
The man in black robe sneered, and said with a slight sarcasm in his tone: "Do you think I am so stupid that I can't think of the hidden dangers that you can think of? Although this thing is not unique in the world, the mark I made on it But it is the only thing in the world, so using something rare in the world and adding the only mark in the world can prove that it was sent by me. This kind of thing is not something you should worry about. Just do what I tell you. Now, don’t worry about other things, just go down!”
Gao Cai did not dare to show any dissatisfaction with the black-robed man's ridicule, but quickly bowed and quietly exited the darkroom.
The man in black robe stood there alone for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something. Finally, he sighed softly and whispered to himself: "Shao Xi, why do you always feel that this person is so special? Why is there always a kind of An indescribable sense of familiarity? Why do I always feel like something is wrong? Did I overlook something? Or did you hide it too deeply and never let me know what you discovered? "
After thinking for a moment, the man in black robe didn't seem to find the answer he wanted, so he shook his head and left the secret room.
He must hide his identity and minimize meetings with Gao Cai like today.
Shao Xi's appearance was a surprise to him, but it was also full of unknown hidden dangers. If Shao Xi could not be used for his own use, then he would most likely become the biggest threat to him.
In his opinion, Shao Xi is too smart. If he cannot do everything carefully, Shao Xi will discover his identity sooner or later.
But even so, he still underestimated Shao Xi. The shock that Shao Xi would bring to him in the future would far exceed his imagination.
…
When Shao Xi knew that the star stone given to him by Cheng Baiqiu was so precious, the disgust in his heart had long since disappeared. At this time, he was holding the colorful stone hanging around his neck and looking at it repeatedly. This is a treasure that can help you improve your martial arts! Compared with the beautiful glass bead that I gave to Cheng Baiqiu, this was an extremely precious gift.
"Miss Cheng, this gift is too precious. I really don't know what kind of gift I should give in return. I wonder what other wishes you want to realize? As long as I can do it, I will do my best. No excuses."
Cheng Baiqiu smiled and shook his head.
"You are at the critical moment of breakthrough now. Don't think about what you have or don't have. Just hurry up and practice! I hope to complete the breakthrough before tomorrow. I'm afraid you can't help me realize my wish. As long as you can in the future Helping me find the remains of Senior Guan is the best reward."
Shao Xi raised his hands to Cheng Baiqiu seriously and said: "We have promised the girl before, so naturally we have to do our best, but today the girl gave me such a precious gift, I promise the girl no matter how big the matter is, It's difficult, I will definitely help the girl recover the remains of Senior Guan, so that the girl can fulfill her lifetime wish for the respected master. I won't say more, I will go down to practice, and I must break through to the seventh level and advance to the transformation before tomorrow. Qi Jing'."
Cheng Baiqiu said nothing more, just turned around and left silently. At this time, he felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness in his heart.
Her wish is that Shao Xi can stay, stay with her and never leave, but how can Shao Xi help her realize this wish? How could I be so selfish and ask Shao Xi to give up all responsibilities and stay with me on this island and lose the freedom to travel around the world and express his ambitions? I can't be so selfish, and I can't let Shao Xi feel even a little painful for myself.
She also knew that she couldn't keep Shao Xi. Shao Xi was not the kind of person who would give up his ideals for the sake of immediate comfort.
It's like no matter how beautiful a canary is, how sweet its cry is, or how much you like it, you shouldn't keep it in a cage. If you truly love him, let him be free and let him live the life he wants. Keeping him by his side selfishly is not really good for him, but a kind of imprisonment and torture.
Cheng Baiqiu doesn't want to be that kind of person. She doesn't want to keep Shao Xi close to her like a canary. Shao Xi may fly far away, but as long as he flies freely and happily, then she can give him everything he needs. His most sincere and pure love.
And the only thing I can do for him is to help him fly higher, further, and fly more freely.
