It said slowly: "I roughly know your temperament, but not bad, but it is not a compassionate heart. This is a good thing. If you are just kind-hearted and do not understand the worldly feelings, you will not be able to save my empress. I also know that you like fair business, it is okay. Five hundred years, although I have nothing to do all year round, as long as it is the personnel affairs in Liangzhou City, I dare not say that everything is known to you. Seven or eight out of ten are always there. Where is the treasure of family tradition, where is the silent artifact, who is talented and seems mediocre, but actually has the resources to practice... like the children in Yuanjiapu yard, and no one cares about it for the time being, belonging to the remains of the sea, Liangzhou City... To be precise, it appeared in Liangzhou City and is still in Xiliang, and there are still many talents and beautiful jades at present!"

Xie Shiji stood at the door and could only see Chen Qingniu's back, but she dared to pat her chest to ensure that the master's board had his eyes lit up at this time.

This time it did not hide it, and poured beans on the bamboo tube, and all the requests and rewards were said, "As long as you can convince Liang King Zhu Hongying to close the City God Pavilion, even if it only takes ten days, my concubine will wake up temporarily. If she can completely block the City God Pavilion, she will have no worries. The difficulty of the two is very different, and if you do it, the rewards will be very different."

Chen Qingniu asked, "For five hundred years, you can't even close the gate of the City God Pavilion for one tenth?"

It seemed to be hit by the vital points, and it was furious. It jumped on the scroll of "Xiongzhenlou" and said furiously: "I am a lonely ghost, how can I get close to Liangzhou City's previous city lords? Either the vassal kings with a country's ambition, or the governor who is in charge of the military and the fighting, or the governor who is infectious for a long time! I can't connect them even if I get close to them! Besides, for five hundred years, there have been few monks in this Liangzhou City, but those old immortals who are entrenched here are all cunning and have a difficult cultivation. I only say that the shopkeeper behind Liulifang, a stinky woman named Fan from Qing'eshan, appeared secretly in secret for some reason.

In the city, I must have forced me to retreat and not go out before I will give up. I also turned the Liulifang into a forbidden area and did not allow me to get close. What can I do? There is also the old bald donkey in the Herbic Collection Temple, whose robe and bowl Buddhism have been passed down from generation to generation. I don’t know when, but the Herbic Collection Temple has set its sights on me. Every time I am morning bell and evening drum, I must target me to destroy my cultivation. If I dare to deliberately hide and avoid the Sanskrit, monks will come to me on the same day, and they will not fight or kill me. They just tell me the Dharma in person, and they will be inseparable from the shadows! In addition, the disciples of the Five Yang Sect, Lu Fazhen, have begun to pester and fight again in recent years..."

When it came to the sadness, the puppet even began to lift his arms to wipe his tears.

Chen Qingniu whispered: "As a puppet, there are no tears on your face."

The painted puppet became more and more sad, sitting on the ground, crying loudly, and flapping limbs, of course, they could only be howling.

Chen Qingniu thought for a while and hit the nail on the head, "If it were just closed for one tenth of a year, what's the difficulty? For example, I suggested to the vassal king Zhu Hongying that I would pay for the vassal residence and work together to repair and renovate the City God Pavilion, wouldn't it be enough? Is there anything hidden in it?"

The puppet puppet rolling on the long ink scroll stopped crying and seemed very guilty.

Chen Qingniu rubbed his eyebrows.

The painted puppet smiled dryly and said, "The vassal residence needs to ask the court's Ministry of Rites to receive an imperial edict, and the governor of Liangzhou, who was guarding the Mu side, read it in public, and formally rebuked the City God Pavilion in Liangzhou City, so that it temporarily loses the qualification of the court's righteous god. It is not difficult or difficult to restore the qualification after one tenth... "

Before he finished speaking, it knew that something was going to be wrong. He lifted up the scroll to protect his body, poked out a head, and looked up at the expressionless young monk.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qingniu did not show the anger he imagined, but asked calmly: "Is it finished? Is there any missing?"

It stood there on the spot, shook its head carefully and said, "It's gone, it's really gone."

The next moment, it wrapped around the scroll and rolled sideways to avoid it.

Sure enough, Chen Qingniu slapped heavily on the table. Under the palm of his hand, there were pages that were supposed to be sandwiched in the book. Silver fire was splashing wildly, colorful, and more than a hundred fonts on the page burst open.

The puppet whined and said, "Whoever is surnamed Chen, don't bully people too much!"

Chen Qing smiled at the cowhide and didn't laugh, "Ha, my hand slipped again, sorry."

The puppet pushed the scroll away, stood up, straightened his back, took a deep breath, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "What I can separate my soul and attach to the puppet, first, these five puppets themselves were first made of souls and were created by the emperor, and they were extremely good, especially the last emperor, which naturally gave resentment, which was most suitable for puppets to cling to. Second, the bamboo sea in Yuanjiapu gathered most of the yin energy in Liangzhou City. I used a secret method of ghost cultivation to absorb yin energy, which could increase my cultivation drastically, and then be careful to hide. Therefore, after the soul was divided, my cultivation was based on

The monks in the Medicine Collection Temple would not notice the secret of my clone leaving the city. If you can help save the Empress and help us restore our freedom, as long as it can be done, I will respond to all my requests. But in the ugly words, you must not threaten the Empress. She has a strong personality and is very likely to be burned with you. But I can promise you now that in addition to my soul and spirit, I am willing to be your slave for ten years. In addition, the secret treasures, heavy weapons and geniuses in Liangzhou mentioned earlier will fulfill their promises."

Chen Qingniu smiled and said, "If you do business, talk about business, and don't be honest, you won't be able to become a century-old brand. You have not been so sincere until now."

It felt relieved, "Have you agreed?"

Chen Qingniu nodded and shook his head: "I agree for the time being, but I will regret it at any time."

It was distraught, "How can you be so merciless?! My empress is so miserable and pitiful, so you don't have any sympathy or compassion?"

Chen Qingniu reached out to flip the book.

It was terrified, and kneeled down with a plop, gritted its teeth, and said hatefully: "Okay! That's all!"

Chen Qingniu stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, picked up the national sword and hung it on his waist again, "Happy cooperation."

The painted puppet turned his head and looked at the back, questioning: "Then it's a matter of determination, it's hard to chase after all?"

Chen Qingniu turned his back to the table, and did not turn around. He just raised his arm and snapped his fingers, just answering.

Chen Qingniu sat cross-legged on the bed, Xie Shiji moved a chair and sat at the door, and the two of them breathed in and practiced.

The lonely and painted puppet was busy in his luggage alone, silently tidying treasures, and careful care, and really looked like a competent slave. Some of the untieted red ropes and threads were pulled tightly by its hands and feet and ground.

Extremely hardworking.

Suddenly it shuddered, and it turned out that a roar resounded through the inn. Someone whispered: "Dog! How dare you insult my Longshan Harrier?!"

It jumped to the window railing, pressed one side of its ear tightly against the window paper, and made a statement of eavesdropping.

This virtue... is not very much like a shrine branch that endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, but rather like a market woman who likes rumors.

Chen Qingniu was indifferent.

Even Chen Qingniu did not move, so Xie Shiji naturally ignored it.

The brocade box where the puppet is located is a gift from the princess to the courtyard. Whether she knows about the puppet, whether the initiator, or whether someone is used to frame it, will directly determine Chen Qingniu's subsequent arrangements and responses.

After listening to the corner of the wall for a long time, it felt bored, so it jumped back to the table and continued to toss those treasures. It was absolutely unwilling to touch the five Confucian classics. The rest were like eight bamboo sticks tied into a bundle, ancient inkstones of the Anonymous Monk, and so on. As for the other four puppets originally wrapped in cotton cloth, they were temporarily placed side by side by side by side by side by side by painting. They should be nourishing the yin objects with the clouds on the scroll.

There was a growing sound of footsteps on the other side of the corridor. It hurriedly covered many items in the luggage, jumped to the ground, trotted all the way, bypassing Xie Shiji, one by one and one chair, and continued to sound seriously as if it was wall.

Someone in the corridor outside the house said without any lowering his voice and said angrily: "That thief, the postmaster, is too bullying! We have been staying in the inn so many times, but we have not lived in the hall before, but this time we have no house?!"

Someone persuaded him: "Tang Yu, what's so strange about this kind of official style? There are opportunities to deal with them in the future."

The young man who was called Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I know, but I know, but it's the first time I fall on my head! I can't swallow this tone!"

A lazy voice laughed and said, "Are you not searching for assassins outside the city? I asked me to kill the postmaster without knowing it. If you ask us, I will only say that it was the work of the assassins in the city, wouldn't it be?"

Someone majesticly scolded: "Don't make a fuss!"

Someone asked in confusion: "The storm in Liangzhou City spread to the military town outside the Pass so quickly?"

The lazy voice sneered: "You families are unable to cover the sky with one hand in Liangzhou City, so don't let others take this opportunity to beat us into the water dog?"

"Yu Benzhen, do you deserve a beating?"

"Yeah, don't accept it?"

"Shut up! After handing over military affairs to the General's Mansion tomorrow, I will immediately rush to Longshang. During this period, no one is allowed to act without permission. Did you hear it?!"

The troubles in the corridor outside the house fell into silence with the vaguely sound of closing the door.

The puppet returned to the table, sat on the edge, with his legs hanging outside the "cliff", looked at Chen Qingniu, gloating: "It seems that there are the Song family members who are implicated by you?"

Chen Qingniu asked: "What is the foundation of the Song family?"

The puppet thought for a while, "What else can you do if you grow a native nest? In the northwest, if you want to become a powerful man, you can study hard by hard work."

It quickly added: "However, Song Fengfan once had the eldest son of the seeds of study. He went out to study in his early years. Later, it was rumored that Song Mengxiong's brother, after returning home, was unable to think about it, so he jumped into the lake and committed suicide. At that time, it was a big fuss in Liangzhou City."

Chen Qingniu asked curiously: "What do you say?"

The puppet who has seen five hundred years of ups and downs shook his legs and said in a serene way, "If I remember correctly, the study seed should be Song Menglin, and it is indeed an outstanding figure with the talent of Liangzhou's cultural heritage. In Guanhai Academy in the Great Sui Dynasty, I became a Confucian gentleman. I just returned from my studies and was about to go to Beijing to take the exam when I got news that his long-loving woman's long-loving woman's third son Zhu Zhenbao was humiliated to death. In the end, the poor woman's body was not found. Song Menglin was a weak scholar, and he was unable to ride a horse, and he could not hold a bow and carry a knife. He only had some reputation in the Great Sui Dynasty Shilin, and his family background was far from Zhu Zhenbao, so he had to give the woman to the suburbs.

A tomb of clothing was built outside... I had nothing to do at that time. One night I sneaked into the inner courtyard of Song's house and saw Song Menglin arguing with his father in the study. But Song Fengfan dared not to compete with Zhu Zhenbao, the son of the vassal king. Besides, Zhu Zhenbao's mother was a rich family. The old man tried his best to persuade Song Menglin not to get into a stubborn strait. There were so many good women in the world, why bother to care about a dead grass? Song Menglin agreed, and that night he secretly left the mansion and went to the vassal residence to smash the door, wanting to meet Zhu Hongying, and then instructed Zhu Zhenbao to entrust the vassal residence to the vassal residence, which made Song Menglin covered in bruises, especially his mouth was covered in blood. Perhaps he warned him not to talk nonsense."

Its tone was quiet and said calmly: "That night, I couldn't leave the city. I saw him standing against the wall of the city gate and sitting all night. As soon as the sky was dawn, the city gate was opened, and the scholar limped out of the city. That day, news came into the city. The eldest son of the Song family was rafting at night, and he fell into the water after drinking..."

Chen Qingniu was a little surprised.

Therefore, the death soldiers of Anzhi from the Great Sui Dynasty were killed by Song Fengfan, and even if they could not succeed in assassinating Zhu Hong, they would still make both sides feel trepidated and difficult to let go. Maybe they could even instigate the Song family to rebel against the Great Sui Dynasty.

In recent years, Zhu Hongying has particularly valued Song Mengxiong, and has advanced rapidly on the border and climbed rapidly in the officialdom. Even the rumors that he intended to take the second son of Song as his son-in-law have never been strongly curbed by the vassal residence. Zhu Hongying has never been able to compensate the Song family here.

Chen Qingniu asked: "Baogao Sect is located on the border between the Suzaku Great Sui Dynasty. As a giant of the Zong generation, even if the seat is at the bottom, it is not comparable to ordinary gangs. Was the marriage between Baogao Sect and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry an instructed by Emperor Zhuque or Zhu Hongying himself made a plan?"

The puppet said angrily: "This kind of important matter that is the top secret in the vassal king's mansion. How can I identify the truth and the false?"

Chen Qingniu nodded slightly, agreeing.

Chen Qingniu's understanding of the vassal king Zhu Hongying has been constantly elevated from his initial contempt to his current fear.

Chen Qingniu still remembers that before leaving Liangzhou City, he had a private meeting with Zhu Hongying.

It was Zhu Zhenying's thread, and she and Princess Liang Cui Youwei were present. In addition, Zhu Hongying only let his close companion Mr. He stand in the distance. This is the "good family" among the aristocratic families.

Zhu Hongying punished himself with a straightforward penalties and apologized: "The assassination of Shanghu is the king who has implicated Master Chen."

Chen Qingniu also drank a glass of wine, then waved his hand and smiled, "It is also the fate that this catastrophe should be in his destiny. It has something to do with the prince, but it has nothing to do with it. The catastrophe is so mysterious, I am most afraid that it will not arrive, especially it is just hanging outside the life and the life gate. I also like it the most to pass through it without any danger. The various life and death barriers of thousands of monks are mostly like this. If I become serious, I will thank the prince."

Zhu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "So that's it. I have been taught."

Afterwards, Chen Qingniu said he wanted to go outside Xiliang Pass to experience it, ranging from half a year to two years. Zhu Hongying naturally agreed, but he was curious to ask Chen Qingniu if it was a military monk, so Chen Qingniu took it vaguely. Zhu Hongying was so experienced that he stopped asking for the bottom of the matter. After discussion, Chen Qingniu took the initiative to stay in Liangzhou for 20 years, and half of it went out to play in the city to try to let the master assassin bite the bait and take the bait.

Zhu Hongying asked, "Even if the assassin is extraordinary, he may not be so bold, right?"

Chen Qingniu smiled and said, "If even the prince thinks so, then the assassin has an opportunity to take advantage of it. Of course, I will have a chance to fight back."

Zhu Hongying laughed loudly, "I let Mr. He hide in the dark. Even if I can do everything possible to make me and the royal palace, I will not ruin Master Chen's careful layout."

Chen Qingniu did not refuse and raised his glass to toast, "I am so grateful."

But after that, the assassin never showed up.

This storm can only be described in one sentence for the time being.

After that, Chen Qingniu left the garden of the vassal prince's mansion and returned to Yuanjiapu. There were two small episodes. One was that Zhu Zhenying, who was accompanying him, asked curiously why he had to trick the brothel servant who led the way to board the boat. He said fifty taels of silver rewards to sixty taels. In this way, according to the words and style of the madam Nan Yan on the boat, the servant would suffer a lot and would have to be beaten up. Chen Qingniu did not keep it in hiding, and said three sentences to her, which was to explain the reason.

"A stranger's mind is good or bad, what does it have to do with me?"

"But I'm not smart enough, but I like to be clever and I can't survive."

"I hope that the brothel servant who is not very sensible behind you and me will understand this truth. After all, I am just experiencing myself. Don't be proud of it. In the future, I will be worse than him."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhenying looked incredible.

The general meaning is that you are already a guest at Guanyin, and you are still so leisurely? Why do you live so cautiously?

In her opinion, that servant was so insignificant that he crushed his fingers to death.

The grace of heaven was so great that the thunder was furious. Both were by her and hers, as they wanted.

Chen Qingniu was too lazy to say anything to her at that time. Everyone was his own life and could not force her.

The subsequent episode was a gift sent by Cui Youwei. At that time, Chen Qingniu also carefully investigated it and found no abnormality. He never thought that there would be such a big "surprise".

———

The puppet said for no reason, "After hearing about the tragic incident of Song's eldest son, did you not feel any ups and downs?"

Chen Qingniu glanced at it.

It sat up angrily and returned to the scroll of the bag and was pretending to be dead. It was probably dissatisfied with Chen Qingniu's iron heart.

There is no shortage of lucky people in the world, and there is no shortage of bitter things in the world.
