eighteen.
Ming Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
study.
Located on the dragon table, apart from some stacked memorials, a human skin mask was placed on the table.
At this moment, if Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and the girls were in this room, they would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the person sitting in front of Long An in this room was none other than Gong Ziyu whom they met a few months ago.
But the difference is that at this time, Gong Ziyu is no longer wearing the white shirt he wore in the past, but is wearing a dragon robe.
Her white hair was also dyed as black as ink, and then tied up with a golden crown.
Whenever Gong Ziyu finished reviewing a memorial, he would pass it to Ming Yue Xin beside him. After Ming Yue Xin glanced at the memorial, he would determine whether it should be placed somewhere on the table or not. It fell conveniently into the wooden barrel made of golden nanmu below.
Apart from the two people, Bai Xiaosheng was also present in the room at this time.
What he was wearing was also the attire of a eunuch.
However, Bai Xiaosheng's smooth and neat white beard did not match the eunuch's clothes.
After a long time, after handing the newly annotated memorial to Ming Yue Xin, Gong Ziyu put down the brush in his hand and let out a breath unconsciously.
Looking up at Bai Xiaosheng who was sipping tea and eating some dried fruits, Gong Ziyu shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, you are probably the only minister who watches the emperor reviewing memorials while enjoying tea leisurely next to him. !”
Facing what Gong Ziyu said, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty wants to do everything himself, so why should I disturb your Majesty's pleasure?"
With that said, Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the wooden barrel that was already half full and said, "However, nearly 30% of the memorials in the past few days have been thrown into this wooden barrel, which is a bit wasted!"
Hearing this, Gong Ziyu said slowly: "If you use it to make fire at night, it can be regarded as making the best use of it."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "It's a good place for these memorials."
After a pause, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Gong Ziyu and said, "I thought that after Zhu Wuwu died, you would clear out all the people under Zhu Wuwu's command."
Gong Ziyu shook his head and said: "Zhu Wuli has been collecting intelligence at Hulong Villa over the years, but the focus is on collecting the handles of the civil servants and generals in the court. Zhu Wuli's so-called subordinates are just blackmailed by Zhu Wuli with their handles. Just take care of some of the black sheep, but if we kill the others too, I'm afraid there will be too many empty seats in the court, which is too much."
"When the time comes, when Brother Chu lets the beauties around him take over, I'm afraid he will inevitably have a headache."
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "You really care about this little friend Chu."
Gong Ziyu chuckled and said: "The most important thing between friends is heart-to-heart communication. If this were not the case, Brother Chu would not have told me about the bad guy and Ling Donglai from the Song Dynasty before taking action against Zhu Wuli, so that I could be on guard in advance. "
Afterwards, Gong Ziyu stood up and walked to Bai Xiaosheng, sat down, looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said: "Your Baixiao Pavilion has covered the intelligence network in the Tang Dynasty and Qin Dynasty in recent years. Regarding the situation of that bad person, is it possible?" Is it true that as Brother Chu said, there may be masters who have reached the realm of heaven and humanity?"
Facing Gong Ziyu's question, Bai Xiaosheng said without hesitation: "I don't know."
After pondering for a while, Bai Xiaosheng continued to speak: "I do know something about the bad guys, but according to the news from Baixiao Pavilion, this bad guy came after Li Clan took control of Chang'an City and proclaimed himself emperor. He just showed up, originally I thought this bad guy might be someone from the Li clan who secretly established it."
"But according to what Chu Xiaoyou said, if this bad guy can successfully recruit people like Ling Donglai, no matter what the conditions are given? The background of this bad guy is far beyond what ordinary people think, and even... Above the Northern Shaolin of the Great Song Dynasty."
In response, Gong Ziyu breathed out softly and said: "It seems that these years, I have been somewhat blinded by the plans of the Ming Dynasty, and I never thought that there is such a force in this world."
However, at this moment, a special sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Hearing the sound, Bai Xiaosheng stood up slowly and walked outside the door.
A moment later, after Bai Xiaosheng returned to the room, there was already a note in his hand.
After taking the note handed over by Bai Xiaosheng and glancing at it, Gong Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Chu has already left for the Tang Dynasty?"
Bai Xiaosheng, who sat down again, picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "It seems that this bad guy makes even that little friend Chu feel uneasy."
Gong Ziyu glanced at the note in his hand, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that Brother Chu is hiding deeper than I thought!"
Listening to Gong Ziyu's words, Bai Xiaosheng didn't know what Gong Ziyu meant.
Chu Qinghe is now heading to the Tang Dynasty, obviously for the bad guy.
But now the situation of this bad guy is unknown, and even Gong Ziyu and Bai Xiaosheng feel a little frightened after considering the information Chu Qinghe gave them before.
But under such circumstances, Chu Qinghe dared to go to the Tang Dynasty.
With the way Chu Qinghe acted and talked in the past, if he didn't have a certain confidence, how could he dare to go to the Tang Dynasty with all the beauties and maids around him so blatantly?
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Bai Xiaosheng said: "Although I don't know what kind of trump cards Chu Xiaoyou has, with Chu Xiaoyou's nature, I'm afraid this bad guy will be in a lot of trouble next."
Gongziyu on the side smiled softly, then raised his hand and sucked the human skin mask on the table into his hand. Gongziyu said to Mingyue Xin: "Stop being busy, I'll leave the rest to you." Come on, Bai Lao! Let’s go for a walk in the Imperial Garden.”
Bai Xiaosheng's hand holding the tea cup stiffened for a moment, then he glanced at the pile of memorials left on the table and said helplessly: "Is it appropriate to leave so many things to an old man like me?"
Gong Ziyu smiled and said: "After all, Bai Lao lost the last bet. According to the bet, before I hand over the Ming Dynasty to Brother Chu, Bai Lao must wear the clothes of this series of eunuchs and help me deal with the affairs of the court. In government affairs, Bai Lao has always been willing to admit defeat and will never default on his debt."
Although Bai Xiaosheng and Gong Ziyu had not followed Chu Qinghe to the Song Dynasty before, neither of them knew about some things.
But on the way to the Song Dynasty, Chu Qinghe and others did not hide their whereabouts in disguise.
It is not difficult to collect the traces of Chu Qinghe after entering the Song Dynasty.
Coupled with some other information, the sudden evacuation of the Great Yuan Kingdom after the destruction of Northern Shaolin, and the actions of the Xiaoyao Sect behind it, it is not too difficult to deduce some of the things behind it with the cleverness of Gong Ziyu and Bai Xiaosheng.
Naturally, not long after Chu Qinghe returned to the Ming Dynasty, Bai Xiaosheng and Gong Ziyu already knew that the current Song Dynasty seemed to have remained unchanged, but in fact it had changed hands to Chu Qinghe.
This is also the reason why Bai Xiaosheng now puts on eunuch clothes and runs to the palace to stay.
It was entirely because he lost his previous bet with Gong Ziyu.
After hearing what Gong Ziyu said, Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said: "I thought that Ling Donglai was coming. It would not be easy for the Yuan Kingdom to take the Song Kingdom into its hands. Who would have thought that Ling Donglai would be here at this critical moment?" Donglai will be taken away by others, allowing Chu Xiaoyou to successfully capture the Song Dynasty."
Gong Ziyu smiled and said: "What Bai Lao said is inappropriate. It may be no more difficult to make the Great Yuan Kingdom retreat than to deal with Ling Donglai."
Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and then laughed dumbly and said: "That's right! If you just attribute the reason to Ling Donglai's absence, it is indeed a bit far-fetched. I just don't know how Chu Xiaoyou used the Meng Chi from the Great Yuan Kingdom. He who walks willingly retreats.”
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng's thoughtful expression, Gong Ziyu said, "It's up to you, Bai Lao, to think about this slowly. If you figure it out, just let me know."
After saying that, after putting on the human skin mask and re-disguising himself as Zhu Wuwu, Gong Ziyu walked outside with Ming Yue Xin in the same disguise.
Bai Xiaosheng, who was left behind, stood up helplessly and walked to the dragon case, continuing to deal with the small mountain of memorials on the table.
Until noon, looking at the quiet room, thinking of Gong Ziyu who went to the imperial garden to accompany the beautiful woman, and thinking of himself now alone in the room busy, as a lonely old man, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt something in his heart. A bit melancholy.
"As I get older, I can no longer stand the loneliness."
However, at this moment, the door of the study room was suddenly opened and then closed immediately.
Hearing the sound, Bai Xiaosheng raised his head and looked at Sun Baifa, who was holding a chicken leg in the room and his mouth was full of oil. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised on his face: "Why are you here?"
Faced with Bai Xiaosheng's question, Sun Baifa said vaguely: "Your big dragon leader sent a message a few days ago asking me to accompany you."
After saying that, Sun Baifa, who seemed careless a second ago, also focused on Bai Xiaosheng.
"Um?"
The moment his eyes fell on Bai Xiaosheng, Sun Baifa suddenly stiffened, and even the chicken drumstick in his hand couldn't help but fall to the ground.
A few breaths later, Sun Baifa ducked in front of Bai Xiaosheng, stared at the eunuch clothes Bai Xiaosheng was wearing, and said in shock: "This clothes, old bastard, have you been castrated?"
When these words came out, Bai Xiaosheng's face suddenly darkened.
However, before Bai Xiaosheng could speak, Sun Baifa suddenly let out a long sigh, and then put the greasy hand that had just held the chicken drumstick on Bai Xiaosheng's shoulder and patted it.
"Senior brother, since you can't do it now, you will go to a brothel in the future. After I'm done, I'll disguise myself as you and call another girl to help you go shopping."
After finishing speaking, after a pause, Sun Baifa added: "But you have to pay for the second girl."
Looking at Sun Baifa, whose face was full of sadness but whose eyes were shining, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt that it was not bad to be a lonely old man sometimes.
At least I can calm my mind, instead of being easily overheated at my age.
After thinking about this for a while, Bai Xiaosheng's foot under his clothes suddenly tapped lightly on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, several rays of true energy shot out from the ground and directly hit Sun Baifa's acupuncture points.
In the study, a hemp rope was already wrapped around the beam of the roof, and Sun Baifa, whose acupoints had been tapped, was tied up and hung in the air.
Bai Xiaosheng, whose face was flushed and angry, used his true essence to turn into a long whip and hit Sun Baifa's body one after another.
Every time the whip was struck, Sun Baifa on the ground would be whipped so hard that his body would shake and he would utter words such as "Ah!" "Take it easy!" "It hurts".
At the entrance of the courtyard where the study room is located, the guards who were originally stationed seemed to be deaf, and did not react at all to the sound of whipping and screams coming from the study room behind them.
Tang Dynasty.
Located south of Yanchuan.
Two specially-made carriages drove slowly on this road.
In the first carriage driving ahead, Dongfang Bubai, Jellyfish Yinji, Yao Yue and Lian Xingju sat opposite each other in the carriage, with their true energy flowing in their bodies.
Sometimes the power of heaven and earth is gathered from the surroundings and then enters the carriage.
However, unlike Chu Qinghe, Jellyfish Yinji, and Qu Feiyan, they all changed their faces.
Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue still maintained their original appearance and did not change their appearance.
In the carriage at the back, Chu Qinghe was left alone, lying on the blanket, his head on the soft pillow and his legs crossed.
Huahua was sitting steadily on Chu Qinghe's raised legs.
Sometimes he would fall off his lap and immediately jump back onto Chu Qinghe's lap, which didn't make him feel bored.
Driven by the carriages one after another, the two carriages drove into the Yanchuan County of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Qu Feiyan's head suddenly poked his head in from outside the carriage and asked, "Master, why didn't we need to disguise ourselves when we went to the Song Dynasty last time, but we had to disguise ourselves this time when we came to the Tang Dynasty?"
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe closed his eyes and said slowly: "The main purpose of going to the Song Dynasty last time was to collect medicine. Even if I met Pang Ban and Meng Chixing later, there was no necessary conflict, but This time I came to the Tang Dynasty to look for trouble."
"And the specific situation of the bad guy is still unclear. Without knowing the other party clearly, there is no need to expose everyone."
What's more, the Tang Dynasty is different from the Song Dynasty, where warriors are in decline. People like Ding Chunqiu can dominate a party and make people in the world fearful.
As for the Tang Dynasty, although the Li clan established the Tang Dynasty in recent years, strictly speaking, the other three clans are still there. They can only be said to have replaced the Sui Dynasty, rather than unifying the Tang Dynasty.
In such a chaotic situation, martial arts naturally prevailed.
In the Tang Dynasty, the four great clans all had extraordinary backgrounds, including top forces such as Cihang Jingzhai and Yinkui Sect.
In terms of masters, they are even better than the Ming Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, Chu Qinghe didn't want to be too ostentatious.
After all, Chu Qinghe came here to solve trouble this time, not to create new troubles.
During this chat, Qu Feiyan and his girls, who were driving, had already seen Yanchuan County in the distance.
In a short while, as the carriages galloped, both carriages entered the city.
After entering a restaurant, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, who had not yet changed their appearance, stepped off the carriage, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in amazement.
After entering a private room on the second floor, after casually ordering some special dishes and sending the waiter to leave, when Xiao Zhao poured tea for the others and walked to Lianxing's side, Jellyfish Yinji suddenly spoke. :"give it to me!"
After hearing what Jellyfish Yinji said, Xiao Zhao handed the teapot to Jellyfish Yinji without thinking.
On the other hand, Jellyfish Yinji sighed after taking the teapot: "Sister Lianxing, naturally I have to pour the tea myself. What do you think, sister?"
As she spoke, Jellyfish Yinji looked at the tilted kettle.
But there was a bit of obvious resentment in the eyes looking at Lian Xing.
It's the sadness of being deeply hurt by someone you trust.
Noticing the smile of Jellyfish Yinji, Lianxing looked away with a hint of shame.
In response to this, Jellyfish Yin Ji couldn't help but sigh again, and then from time to time during the meal, she would bring vegetables to Lian Xing, and she would also sigh.
Lian Xing, on the other hand, ate without saying a word.
It wasn't until Yao Yue's eyes fell on Jellyfish Yin Ji that Jellyfish Yin Ji dragged her cheeks with one hand and poked the food in the bowl sadly with her chopsticks.
Taking the situation of the two women into his eyes, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He obviously knew what was going on between Lianxing and Jellyfish Yinji at this time.
The last time I went to the Great Song Dynasty, it was okay to have only Jellyfish Yinji who could toss around me.
Just go out for a walk as dusk approaches, and then savor "the sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea."
But this time there was more Dongfang Bubai who came out. Not to mention the two girls Yao Yue, even Lian Xing's identity was different from when he was in the Great Song Dynasty.
In this way, the situation becomes completely different.
Just like yesterday, it was obviously just Jellyfish Yinji who got into the mood and took Chu Qinghe out for a walk.
During the process, the three girls of Dongfang Bubai also followed.
Considering that he could not treat others favorably, Chu Qinghe could only grit his teeth and treat everyone equally.
Afterwards, the mountains are endless, the water is endless, and the day rises and the night returns.
The four girls, Qu Feiyan, had to wait for more than an hour.
If Chu Qinghe, Jellyfish Yinji and the girls hadn't already been accustomed to being together for half an hour or an hour when they were out, the girls would probably have to worry about whether Chu Qinghe and the others had encountered any threats.
Among the women, Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai had never gone out with Chu Qinghe, so they naturally didn't understand the reason why Chu Qinghe and Jellyfish Yinji suddenly left yesterday.
The only person who can know what Jellyfish Yinji and Chu Qinghe will do when they leave is Lianxing, who has the best relationship with Jellyfish Yinji.
Naturally, it was obviously a matter between two people, but in the end three more people intervened.
You can imagine how Jellyfish Yinji feels in her heart.
Although it didn't reach the level of betrayal, it still made Jellyfish Yinji feel a little sad.
This is also the reason why Chu Qinghe will be alone in the second carriage today.
I'm just worried that the scenery is so good that I'll be moved by it.
After a while, after several people had eaten something, Chu Qinghe said: "After we finish eating, we will find an inn to stay in Yanchuan County first, and then take a walk around it!"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Jellyfish Yinji and the other girls didn't know what Chu Qinghe meant.
It was obviously about to take bait.
