"Uh-huh-huh."
The Nine-Spirit Bird landed on a corner of the eaves, and its crow sounded a bit like a woman acting coquettishly.
This made Jiang Wuji a little unsure of the national master's taste. Would a woman really like such a big, loud bird?
The color of its feathers is like that of a peacock, especially its tail, but its body is not as big as a peacock's, and its wingspan is about the same as that of an eagle.
Sima Qing raised his hand in the air, and the bird was quite smart. It actually pecked off the rope on its ankle and let the things fall down.
"Both letters...are for you."
Seeing the words "Jiang Yindao personally expresses" on the envelope, Sima Qing frowned into the Chinese character Sichuan.
Although he was not familiar with the Imperial Preceptor, he still knew something about the Imperial Preceptor's temperament.
Arrogant and aloof, he would rarely interact with "mortals" like them. After being a sword holder for so many years, he had only seen the Imperial Master from a distance once.
The Nine Spirit Bird looks docile, but it is not an ordinary bird. I heard that it has killed many masters by pecking it.
Apart from the Imperial Master, only the Empress and King Luo could make the Nine Spirit Bird deliver the message.
The person in charge of escorting the Queen Mother this time was Commander Qiu, followed by Sima Qing. It turned out that these two letters were both addressed to Jiang Wuji...
Why two letters?
"Go and read it in the house." Sima Qing handed the letter to Jiang Wuji.
The people present were all Jiang Wuji's seniors. Maybe they were afraid that Jiang Wuji would be embarrassed to be alone, so he said one more thing.
Jiang Wuji understood the idea, clasped his fists and took the letter into his house.
Judging from the handwriting on the envelope, it was written by two people. One of them belonged to King Luo. Her handwriting was very delicate. Jiang Wuji could recognize it at a glance, so he opened it to read it first.
"The Queen Mother was assassinated, Long Yan was furious, and I was also shocked."
"Although there is no danger and the Queen Mother is fine, I am still afraid. The thief is daring and the assassination will be investigated to the end."
"Sima Jindao wrote a letter saying that Tingshui Marquis found out that the matter was related to Dongding King Pei Shijie. This man has made great achievements in guarding the border for many years and has won the trust of the ministers in the court. If there is no ironclad evidence in hand, he may be accused of imposition."
"However, I have discussed with the Holy One for several nights and have made a plan, so there is no need to worry about this Pavilion Water Marquis."
"Marquis Tingshui is indispensable for the assassination. He will be rewarded when he returns to the capital."
"However, I still need to remind you that Tingshuihou is a man of great talent in civil and military affairs. He is a rare talent for Dali. He is a man who can rise and fall in rivers and lakes, hiding dragons and crouching tigers. I hope Tingshuihou will pay more attention and come back safely."
After talking about business, King Luo wrote a short paragraph about personal matters.
"Today, my king's practice is not going well. Even though I have the guidance of my master, I am still far from satisfactory."
"If you think about it carefully, Ting Shuihou's restraint method is indeed more effective with half the effort."
"However, this method is very useful for everyone. You might as well give some advice when you return to Beijing."
"..."
"The female CEO is different. She obviously wants to flirt with me, but she has to have something to do with martial arts training."
"But did Sima Qing not mention my poisoning?"
Jiang Wuji folded the letter, and the image of lifting a fat-headed fish appeared in his mind uncontrollably.
"Suddenly I really want to go back to the capital..."
The second letter was a little surprising, it was from the Empress.
Compared to Fathead Fish, the content of the Empress' letter is extremely brief.
"I believe King Luo will make it clear to you about the assassination. I will wait for you to return to the capital to understand the Tribulation Statue."
"The Young Master of Hantian Clan has chosen a day to rejoice. If the Wu family does nothing, go and take a trip. Remember to bring back some snow lotus."
"Jiang Kaiyang died in the empty valley of the snowfield. You can go and have a look."
After reading the letter from the empress, Jiang Wuji felt like he had two heads and one big head.
The first is Hantianmen.
Hantianmen is the largest force in Jiangzhou besides the Wu family. Judging from the letter, there seems to be a conflict between the Wu family and Hantianmen.
But the important thing is, what does it mean to bring some snow lotus back?
Snow lotus is so expensive, how much should I bring if I “bring some”? Anyway, give me a number...
In the end, the adoptive father's file only said that he died from a two-headed python that emerged from the cabin during the encirclement and suppression of the Red Lotus Sect, without mentioning the specific place.
"Empty Valley..."
Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose, vaguely feeling that the empress's last sentence contained other meanings.
I'm afraid there will be a lot of things going on during this trip to Jiangzhou...
After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Wuji wrote two replies and asked Jiulingque to take them back.
…
At dusk, the glow is brilliant.
The abbot hosted a banquet for Jiang Wuji and others. The courtyard was filled with singing and dancing, and there was endless talk and laughter.
"The Marquis of Tingshui is really a young talent! The empress told me for a day that the Marquis of Tingshui first solved the financing case, and then took over the Shuiyun Villa, and eradicated the traitors for the court first, and protected the empress in the back. After returning to the capital, the Lord decided There is a big reward, and fame in the world is just around the corner!"
The abbot's flattery made Jiang Wuji a little embarrassed, but what he said was true...
"My lord, the emperor has promoted me to serve the imperial court, so I should do my best." Jiang Wuji answered in an official manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Humble! Humble! Hahaha..."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the abbot is happy tonight. Coupled with his easy-going temper, everyone is informal and the place is lively.
Zhu Yao, who longed for the life of a heroine, kept eating, and her originally flat belly bulged significantly.
The fat-headed phoenix in the high seat put on airs and acted like a queen mother. She spoke and behaved dignifiedly, completely different from the cute sweet girl who was obedient in private.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was tipsy.
After getting drunk, Jiang Wuji asked, "Does the abbot know about Hantianmen's happy event?"
Hearing this, the father-in-law, who was grinning just a second ago, suddenly darkened his face, and the Queen Mother beside her also frowned, as if she was disgusted by this topic.
But this was something arranged by the empress. Even if he asked, Jiang Wuji couldn't just pretend it didn't happen.
The abbot threw the wine glass on the desk, not concealing the anger welling up in his eyes.
"The Hantian Clan Young Master's birthday is on the same day as mine! How could I not know about this!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wuji couldn't help but be stunned.
The reason why the Queen Mother returned to her parents' home was to celebrate the birthday of the husband of the country. She had also talked with Yang Hongshan and the others this afternoon. There were still about ten days until the birthday of the husband of the country.
Unexpectedly, the happy event of the Young Master of Hantian Clan was also held on the same day. This...
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wuji understood why the abbot was angry.
All the powerful forces in the world want to save face, and the Wu family is no exception.
It stands to reason that not only the famous figures in Jiangzhou, but also prominent figures from other states would come to celebrate the birthday of the state leader.
The scene was far from comparable to that of Yun Zhiyang.
The birthday is fixed, but the happy day can be chosen.
Hantianmen set the time on the same day, obviously deliberately forcing some people to make choices.
Either go to congratulate the Wu family on their birthday, or come to my Hantian Sect to say happy birthday.
But the Wu family has the art of refining weapons, so how could Hantianmen dare to clamor against the Wu family?
Seemingly sensing Jiang Wuji's doubts, the abbot poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Gu Binghe said that there will be many delicacies based on snow lotus at the banquet, and everyone who comes can enjoy it."
That's it... Jiang Wuji took a sip of wine.
If you flatter the Wu family, you may not be able to get the magic weapon.
But if you go to Hantianmen's wedding banquet, you will definitely be able to eat ice crystal snow lotus...
If nothing else happens, many people will choose to go to Hantianmen, which will bring shame to the abbot.
The father-in-law was angry, and everyone was embarrassed to continue drinking.
Seeing that it was getting late, Commander Qiu took the lead to leave. Soon, only four people from Fengtiansi and the Wu family were left at the banquet.
After a long time, the abbot's anger subsided a little. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Wuji and asked, "I heard from the empress... Marquis Tingshui is very thoughtful and has many clever plans."
"Can you... help me?"
Jiang Wuji didn't want to help the father-in-law to earn face, but when he saw the empress dowager's water-cut eyes, his words of refusal were stuck in his throat.
Alas... Sure enough, the hero is in trouble with the beauty.
