The two chatted for a few more words, and then Wang Wenzuo stood up to say goodbye. Liu Yuanzhen actually sent him out of the house, which was a rare courtesy considering the gap between their official positions. When he returned to Jin Mansion, it was already dark, and the food brought from the kitchen was a little cold. Wang Wenzuo didn't care so much. He took some hot soup to make rice and filled his belly. He was recording the events of the day when he suddenly heard When someone knocked on the door outside, Wang Wenzuo thought it was Hei Te Changzhi, Ding Hui and the others, so he shouted without looking back: "The door is not closed, open the door and come in to talk!"

The rotating door shaft made a creaking sound, but there was no sound of words or footsteps. Wang Wenzuo suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was the first time for Hei Te Chang Zhi and others to come to Chang'an (Ding Hui and the others were also prisoners in Chang'an), so by Jin The servants of the house took them out to play. When I came back, they had not come back. If they had just come back, there would be no movement at all.

"Who! Ah! Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be the slave family?" Xiaoman said with a smile: "Why, the slave family is not welcome?"

"This is not a matter of welcome or unwelcome!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly felt a little headache. Women are already in a lot of trouble. Beautiful women are ten times more trouble. That is, women who are pretty and have some ability are a hundred times more trouble: "Why are you here? ? Does Liu Neifu know about this?"

"You refused to ask for the slave family from Liu Neifu, so the slave family had to follow you here!" Xiaoman said plausibly: "As for Liu Neifu, where the slave family goes is his own business, why should I tell him?"

"This -" Wang Wenzuo was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know how to refute the other party's words. As a former modern person, Wang Wenzuo really couldn't say that you were the singer bought by Liu Yuanzhen, so he couldn't. If you run around by yourself.

"But my place is full of men, and there is no place for women to live!"

"Your yard is so big and there are so many empty rooms, why don't you have a place for me to live?" Xiaoman patted the long sword on his waist: "You also said that my swordsmanship is very good, enough to protect my own safety!"

"This has nothing to do with swordsmanship!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "You are so beautiful, do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Xiaoman replied in confusion: "Isn't it bad to be pretty? Do you like ugly people? This is the first time I have seen a man like you!"

"It's not that I like ugly people! You still don't understand! I'm in the public eye right now. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. The more beautiful you are, the more conspicuous you are. You will be discovered and spread out within a few days at most. Liu Yuanzhen will immediately know it's you as soon as he hears about it!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "At that time, I can only hand you over, Xiaoman, you think things are too simple."

"Ah? What should we do?" Xiaoman was a little anxious when he heard it: "How about you go to Liu Mansion and ask for me now?"

"It's useless!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "I guess the people in Liu Mansion have discovered that you have escaped now. If I go to get you now, it can't change the fact that you are a runaway slave. Liu Yuanzhen can give you to me, but absolutely You won’t send a runaway slave out, this goes against his family motto!”

"Then, what should I do?"

"Do you have any other place to live in Chang'an? It's nowhere Liu Yuanzhen can't find! It only takes ten days and a half."

"This -" Xiaoman twisted the end of his braid, thought for a moment and said, "The only way to go is to go to General Cao. If it only takes more than ten days, you should be fine!"

"General Cao? You mean your swordsmanship teacher? Can he do it?"

"There should be no problem! Teacher Cao likes me very much, and he has a good reputation in the workshop. As long as someone asks for something, he will not refuse!"

"Well, he is a folk knight!" Wang Wenzuo nodded. He walked to the bookshelf and took out a money bag and handed it over: "There are five coins in here. You should keep it first and use it when you need it." , don’t be stingy!”

"Well!" Xiaoman took the money bag and his eyes flashed: "Thank you very much!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded and sent Xiaoman out through the side door. He waited until his figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley before he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "It's really trouble falling from the sky. It obviously has nothing to do with me! It's really unlucky. ah!"

When he returned to his residence, Wang Wenzuo was no longer in the mood. He simply lay down on the bed and looked at the mottled patterns on the ceiling, feeling a little upset. Although he was in Chang'an at this time, his heart was always in Baekje. After all, his future foundation, planning, and blueprint were all in that land east of the sea. But from the moment he set foot back to Chang'an, he was involuntarily drawn into the whirlpool of power. This reminded him of the "Law of the Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics" mentioned in a book he read on the Internet before traveling. In this world, imperial power is like those extraordinary characteristics. Even if he has consciously wanted to leave Chang'an as soon as possible, his efforts have failed. But instead, it made me get closer. This feeling was really unpleasant.

"If you want to leave Chang'an, the sooner the better!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly shouted loudly, as if to himself and to someone in the dark.

The gods and Buddhas seemed to have heard Wang Wenzuo's prayer. At noon the next day, he got the news. The next day, the Holy Admiral personally summoned Jin Inwen and others to inquire about the Baekje war. This made Wang Wenzuo a little excited and a little nervous. After all, he was about to meet the person with the highest power in the world.

Seeing Wang Wenzuo's expression, Jin Renwen thought that the other person was worried about losing his etiquette, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sanlang. You can follow me closely tomorrow and just do as I want!"

"Thank you, Brother Renshou!" Wang Wenzuo nodded gratefully: "But I heard that the saint is not in good health!"

"Yes, the saint suffers from wind disease and is often dizzy!" Jin Renwen smiled. This is not a secret in Chang'an City: "But it only lasts for a while, and it will pass after a while. Even if we encounter it, we will The most we can do is wait outside!"

"Fengji?"

"It's a disease. It's said to be caused by bad winds. That's what it looks like!"

"Then there's nothing the palace doctor can do?"

"Hahaha!" Jin Renwen laughed: "This wind disease is not a minor illness. How can it be so easy to cure? Besides, in a big country like the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of states and counties have political affairs newspapers. Even if you are a good person, You are tired and sick, let alone a sick person who wants to get better. It is difficult and very rare!"

"Why don't you entrust the government affairs to others, and rest for a few years? It's not too late to handle the government affairs after you recover?"

Jin Renwen didn't answer. He looked at Wang Wenzuo quietly, and finally said with a smile: "You can see the emperor tomorrow, and you will understand then."
