The corner gate was right in front of him, and the light from the lantern could not allow Master Thirteen to see clearly the expression on Twelve's face. He said with a bit of regret: "The son wants to be raised but his relatives are not there, and the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Twelve

Brother, it is a blessing to be able to call you 'Eniang' when you go home."

Twelve's nose felt sour, he nodded heavily, took a deep breath and said: "Thirteen, stay here. What happens next... depends on fate..."

Thirteen didn't go out, and Master Twelve didn't even use a lantern, and left again in the dark. Then Thirteen turned back, put the booklet in his own, and hurriedly sent it over eight hundred miles away.

It was already midnight by the time I went to bed.

But the Fourteenth Master who is not involved is afraid that he will go to bed later than the Twelve and Thirteenth ones. The person who is following the Twelfth Master cannot wait until he is sure to follow the Twelfth Master and make sure that he has returned home before he can go back and report it?

After all this trouble, Shi Shi didn't sleep a wink all night.

But after spending the whole night with him, he at least understood what he was doing. But as for him, he stayed with her all night and didn't know anything.

Unjust or not?

When Fourth Master received the urgent report from Thirteen, he was already on his way back to Luang.

He was leaning on the soft pillow, holding Tongtong's letter in his left hand and Thirteen's report in his right hand. There was no superfluous expression on his face, except for his deep eyes, which made it impossible to see the slightest thought.

In the letter, Tongtong only listed the information she got one by one. As for the conclusion, she did not give any extra words. She suspected that Hongli had committed regicide? The Fourth Master shook his head. Tongtong was cautious about this matter.

.

To say that Hongli had never had that idea, Fourth Master didn’t believe it. But to say that Hongli dared to do that? Fourth Master didn’t believe it! It wasn’t that he had too much trust in Hongli’s character. It was because he knew that he could become the later Emperor Qianlong.

So stupid, if something happens to him, not just Tongtong, but Thirteen, there is nothing he can do. What's more, Prince Naoki and Prince Ri are here! Who can suppress these people if they want to?

Helping Hong Han go up, he would not watch such an unfaithful and unfilial person rise to power. Just one rich chaplain wants to overthrow the world? Ma Qi is not a fool. He is an old man who has experienced three dynasties. He has such a belly

There are so many twists and turns.

Hongli can understand this truth after a little thought. He will not do something that looks tempting, but is actually a step into the abyss. As for what he wants to plot from it? It's hard to say now, Fourth Master

Putting Tongtong's letter aside, he picked up the urgent report sent by Thirteen again.

Wrapped in the skin of thirteen, there are dense folds of twelve inside.

Twelve hasn't had much errands in the past few years, and he has had to deal with several people. He usually receives a greeting card, or congratulates him on a happy occasion. This is all possible. It will also be sent to the imperial court, but this kind of book is basically

It was sifted away in Tongtong's hands, and she had to approve it by herself, or simply stamp it with the seal, and it was done.

Therefore, he has not seen any trouble in Twelve in the past few years, and Twelve has not made trouble in anything important.

The fold now submitted through the Thirteenth is actually a plea for apology.

Now, he didn't hide it anymore. He told what he thought and what he did in the book one by one. He also explained everything he had committed.

He said that he almost caused a catastrophe due to selfish motives. Thinking of Huang Ama's teachings, he repented. Now he shuts himself up and thinks about his mistakes, and is willing to accept any guilt.

After seeing Twelve saying that the blueprint had been completely destroyed and had not fallen into the hands of anyone or any force, he still sighed.

When he saw Japanese people coveting the drawings again, Fourth Master frowned slightly. In fact, this was something that had been expected. With good things, there will never be less people who covet them. But what are the Japanese people doing?

Is it official from the Japanese country or some 'robbers' and 'pirates'? Laojiu kept reporting overseas news, and the Europeans had arrived at the doorstep. Not only did Britain begin to rule India, but it also caused famine in India.

In order to make money, Indian companies imposed exorbitant taxes. Under their rule, the land tax in eastern India nearly doubled, resulting in successive years of famine. This year's Bangladesh famine alone killed 10 million people, accounting for almost one-third of the total population.

1. From last year to this year, the British have been hoarding rice, almost all of it, and refuse to sell it unless they pay appallingly high prices. This has caused the death of so many people. Lao Jiu said it quite loudly at the time.

Wei lamented, "...Isn't that nonsense! Before this, India's wealth was not inferior to that of the Qing Dynasty, but what about now?" His tone was quite frightening.

The fourth master closed the book, and now Guangzhou is no less prosperous than the capital. There are also a lot of foreigners gathered, all kinds of people, with various purposes. In the past, it was difficult to meet a foreigner in the capital.

It was even more difficult. Except for some clergy who could be invited to the palace to become the emperor's guests, there were almost no other people. But now it is different. In the outer city of the capital, in a slightly remote place, a road has been formed.

Foreigner Street. Businessmen from all over the world gather there, which is quite a scene.

The Toyotomi Tavern mentioned in Twelve is among them.

He didn't reply to Tongtong's letter, and he didn't approve of Shisan's book. Let's talk about it after he gets back. It could really turn the world upside down.

He picked up Lao Qi's secret report from under the table, replied with a few words, asked Su Peisheng to send it, and stopped caring about it. After sitting for a long time, he stretched his arms and legs, turned his face, and was blown away by the wind.

Looking out from the middle of the curtain, I saw several maple trees not far from the roadside, which were bright red, and the maple leaves were already red.

The Fourth Master called the two men to stop the chariot, and the others behind them could not move forward. The Ninth Master followed the Holy Driver, and was chatting with the Tenth Master when he saw the Long Live Master getting off the dragon chariot and beckoning them over.

Master Jiu got off the horse and spread his legs to shake before starting to walk. He said angrily that riding in a car on such a road is more comfortable than riding a horse. This man is fat. Even in autumn, his thighs are prone to swelling.

Sweat, rub it again, and whoever feels it will know the feeling. Master Shi couldn't bear to see him like this, "It feels like it hurts."

The ninth master wanted to call him, but when he saw that the fourth master was still waiting, he didn't argue with him. He passed by and smiled: "Long live the master, why did you tell me to call my brother? Why are you down here?" Qiufeng Keye

Very.

The fourth master invited the two of them, "Why don't you bring something for your younger siblings at home?"

What to bring?

Master Shi chuckled: "I hunted some good skins and brought them back to Fujin."

Master Jiu said to himself that it was not as good-looking as the light he bought. He felt disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't say that to Lao Shi. What if Lao Shi brought the same thing to his wife? He couldn't bear to say anything, but he accepted what Master Four said.

, "Brother Chen also brought it, it's just a few combs." After saying that, he took it out from his arms and showed it to the fourth master, "Look at it, it's a good thing."

It's really good stuff.

The material of this comb is very special, it is part of the yak's tongue. The wild yak's tongue has a layer of teeth that can easily lick hard plants. The herdsman cut off the wild yak's tongue and dried it in the sun.

When using a comb, a woman can comb from a head of green hair to a head full of silver hair. The "meat comb" neither deforms nor keeps teeth. There are many such combs in the palace, all of which were brought as tribute. Tongtong never uses them, saying that she feels weird about it.

of.

The fourth master praised the two of them, saying that he was more responsible for the country because he was responsible for his family. It was nonsense to say that he was someone who didn't even care about his parents, wife and children, and that he loved his family, country and the world.

Master Jiu and Master Ten said yes.

One thought, if according to this standard, Huang Ama would have failed first. She said that the old man loved them and loved their mother-in-law, hahaha! It’s okay not to say it.

One person thinks that this is an excuse for him to accommodate his wife. Look, it is so hypocritical.

Regardless of what the two thought, the Fourth Master warmly invited them, "I'm going to pick maple leaves for the Queen to make bookmarks for, will you come?"

I've already called you, can you not go?

The two of them followed in a hurry. Master Jiu thought to himself, the queen is still reading. Besides flipping through the account books, the one in my family only does abacus beads and bookmarks? Why do you want this? Master Shi thinks, my Fujin will definitely say, still

It's better to feed sheep for real food.

This kind of elegance is really not appropriate in their home.

But the fourth master was in high spirits. He didn't want the fallen leaves on the ground, but went up to the trees to pick fresh ones. Some were all red, some were all yellow, some were half red and half yellow. He picked them here and there, and asked Zhang Tingyu and others to pick them up on the curb.

It was frightening to watch. Leng knives were thrown at Master Jiu and Master Ten one by one, as if it was their fault that they could not dissuade the emperor.

After finally getting a box and being satisfied with it, the fourth master once again took a look at the wild chrysanthemums in the field. He asked Su Peisheng to bring over the sweet white porcelain tea bowl painted with gold and wanted to transplant a small wild chrysanthemum into it.

Master Jiu felt heartbroken when he saw it. Your tea bowl could buy a lot of wild chrysanthemums from the Qing Dynasty.

Who is the prodigal son and the prodigal son of that one? It’s quite embarrassing for the fourth child to become a prodigal.

The fourth master here walked leisurely, and when he had free time, he wrote inscriptions and paintings on maple leaves, all of which were intended to be given to Tongtong. But the twelve over there did not receive any reply. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After waiting for two days, there was still no reply from Fourth Master. He had not even gone out to meet Thirteen and ask what was going on. That night, Aunt Yun came again.

"Don't worry, the trial of the White Lotus Sect will be very troublesome. Your people won't be executed so quickly, so there's no need to be in such a hurry..." Twelve rubbed his brows and tried to comfort the other party as calmly as possible.

Yun Gu shook her head, "Your emperor's chariots are back, how long can we have?"

"What does the Emperor's return or not have to do with your plan?" Twelve-suit asked inexplicably.

Yun Gu chuckled lightly, "Why do Twelve Masters pretend to be confused with us? There is a saying that the night is long and the dream is long. Once there are variables, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Variables?" Twelve picked up the teapot and poured himself a drink. "What do you mean by variables?"

"People who are not of my race must have different hearts!" Yun Gu said bluntly, "The fourth elder brother and the twelfth prince are both variables among variables. Just as you warned me, you are the emperor's elder brother of Emperor Kangxi.

It's there. It's hard to tell where your heart is headed. There is also Fourth Brother, whose thoughts are even more unpredictable than yours."

Master Twelve snorted, "Then let's put it this way, we really don't have any need to cooperate. People who want to cooperate with me will come to you sooner or later. We don't have to keep you between us. What do you think?

"

Yun Gu choked, then laughed again, "We have a basis for cooperation with Master Twelve, and we also have a basis for cooperation with them. They are just like us, they are more willing to trust us than you."

"I believe this." Master Twelve put away his leisurely expression, "Tell me, time? Place?"

"Tomorrow at noon, Toyotomi Tavern." Yun Gu turned around after saying that, but when she was about to go out, she turned around again and said, "Master Twelve, I'm afraid I have to say congratulations."

"Where does joy come from?" Twelve raised his head and looked at Yun Gu with squinted eyes.

"There is a girl named Qiaoer next to Fujin. In the past two months, Fujin arranged for her to serve the twelfth master." Yun Gu Qiao smiled sweetly, "But it really corresponds to the word 'Qiao'. This girl is also a talented person."

Fortunately, I am pregnant now. My sister Xiaer is not liked by Master Twelve, but fortunately, Qiaoer is still blessed..."

The smile on Master Twelve's face suddenly froze. Xia'er, who was arranged by Aunt Yun to come in, managed to steal the jade pendant without asking her to come close. However, he was extremely careful, but Fujin didn't expect it.

There was a flaw there.

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much."

Yun Gu laughed, put her hat on her head, stood up and left.
