Shangguan Wenxiu was originally entertaining guests at home. When the article "On the Young People of the Yu Dynasty" was passed to him, he immediately forgot that there were many guests in the living room.
He read the article carefully, and his old eyes suddenly lit up. He slammed his hands on the tea table, stood up, and said three words in a row: "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!"
Then he left the room with the article and walked away, leaving the group looking at each other in confusion.
Shangguan Wenxiu went to Qin Bingzhong's home.
Such a wonderful article, of course I should share it with people I get along with!
Just like a tea lover, once he has a cup of good tea, he will of course want to share it with someone who knows how to appreciate tea.
How could those common people know the exquisiteness of this article? In this huge city of Shangjing, only Old Qin can appreciate it.
At the same time, the six major clans in Shangjing also learned about this article. After reading it carefully, some of the heads of the six major clans fell into deep thought, some smashed their cups, and some made some decisions in their hearts.
Fu Xiaoguan was completely unaware of the impact of this article. Yan Xiwen and others sent him back to the Fu Mansion, where he slept until dark.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun sitting beside him.
"Both my father and mother really liked that article, especially my mother. After seeing it, she said... I wasn't wrong after all. This Fu Xiaoguan will definitely become the backbone of Dayu! Hehe, this guy really is very interesting."
Dong Shulan put the article down, feeling equally delighted, but muttered, "He's got some talent, but he lacks self-awareness. This is the second time he's been drunk, and he can't hold his liquor, and he didn't even take me with him. I heard Yan Xiwen and the others made him drink over thirty cups of wine after this article came out! He's so drunk, ah, I need to keep a closer eye on him from now on."
"Hey, drunkenness is bad for the body. He also has a brain disease. Don't let it relapse. I'll make him a bowl of ginseng soup."
Yu Wenjun stood up as she spoke. Dong Shulan looked up at her in astonishment. "No... you can make soup? The soup you make is terrible. I'd better do it."
Yu Wenjun raised his eyebrows, a look of pride on his face. "I've been studying diligently with Mother for a few days, and I promise I won't be like before. Just wait and see."
Dong Shulan thought about it and let Yu Wenjun go. She sighed and turned around to see Fu Xiaoguan's eyes staring at her.
"Does your head still hurt?" Dong Shulan walked over and sat in front of the bed and asked.
"My head doesn't hurt anymore, but my heart hurts."
Dong Shulan was shocked. Drinking alcohol could cause heartache? What should she do?
"Ah... I'll go find a doctor."
"Don't!" Fu Xiaoguan grabbed Dong Shulan's hand with a wicked smile, "Just rub it for me."
As he spoke, he placed his grasped hand on his chest. Hmm, it wasn't very comfortable. Then he stuffed his hand into his clothes. Dong Shulan believed it and gently rubbed Fu Xiaoguan's chest. She leaned over and asked while rubbing, "Are you feeling better?"
"Mm, it feels good...don't stop."
Dong Shulan's face was closer to him, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid, falling on Fu Xiaoguan's face. He was suddenly confused, and pulled Dong Shulan down, hugged her in his arms, and covered her with a quilt.
Dong Shulan's face flushed red, and she whispered in embarrassment, "You bad guy! Wen Yun is here, let go!"
“No!”
“Ah…don’t…well…”
After dozens of breaths, Dong Shulan swallowed her saliva and stood up shyly. She straightened her clothes and hair, glared at Fu Xiaoguan, her heart beating wildly.
Fu Xiaoguan got up from the bed with renewed energy and raised Dong Shulan's chin. "Madam, would you like to take a bath together?"
"roll!"
Fu Xiaoguan went to take a shower, and Dong Shulan burst out laughing. She walked out of the room and stood in the flying snow, letting the snowflakes fall on her face, rest between her brows, and melt into her heart.
The coolness penetrated my heart, and the icy feeling finally extinguished the fire in my heart.
This bad guy almost fell, you have to be careful!
The lanterns in Qingxin Pavilion were already lit, and a table of people were gathered around eating dinner.
Su Su's bright eyes looked at Yu Wenjun and Dong Shulan from time to time, and then she thought of Yan Xiaolou, whom she met at noon - when Fu Xiaoguan was drunk, the girl named Yan Xiaolou was so anxious that she was about to cry. After the group sent Fu Xiaoguan back to the Fu Mansion, it was Yan Xiaolou who helped him untie his clothes and belt.
She originally thought that there was something going on between Fu Xiaoguan and Yan Xiaolou, but now it seems that there is nothing going on. Instead, Yu Wenjun seems to be quite close to Fu Xiaoguan. She personally made a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice for Fu Xiaoguan, and also picked up dishes for him three times.
Another pair of dogs!
Sister Shulan actually had no reaction to this. Could it be that... these two women had reached a consensus in private?
If this Fu Xiaoguan was her man, humph! Su Su imagined that she would definitely drive away all the bees and butterflies that flew towards Fu Xiaoguan!
This guy is quite charming. Sister Shulan is already so beautiful, and this Yu Wenjun is actually on par with her. And that Yan Xiaolou, that stinky man, actually captured their hearts with those incomprehensible poems and articles. This world is really unfair!
Su Jue ate his meal in a proper manner, even his gaze fixed on his own bowl. Su Rou raised her narrow eyes and glanced at Sixth Junior Sister, who finally fixed her gaze on Fu Xiaoguan. Could it be that Sixth Junior Sister, though already fourteen, was as innocent as a blank slate, and wouldn't even consider the word "love"?
Fu Xiaoguan didn't notice it. He was very hungry and was happily eating and drinking soup. Suddenly, he looked out the door.
A pitch-black bird covered in snow flew in from outside and landed on Su Jue's shoulder. Fu Xiaoguan stared at the bird. He had never seen it before, but he recognized it. It was a crow!
Su Jue calmly put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched out an arm, and the crow jumped onto his arm. He took a small barrel from the crow's leg, and then took off the crown. The crow jumped into the crown. Su Jue put the crown on his head, raised his hands to straighten it, and then took out a piece of paper from the small barrel, took a look at it, and frowned.
Fu Xiaoguan, Yu Wenjun and Dong Shulan all looked at Su Jue's tall hat and opened their mouths in astonishment - what the hell, this hat can actually be used as a nest for a bird!
Su Jue also looked at Fu Xiaoguan and explained, "It's just for convenience. Take a look at this."
Fu Xiaoguan really wanted to ask how the crow ate, drank, defecated and urinated. He took the note and looked at it, then immediately frowned.
The note read: "After investigation, the Disaster Remover, Lü Feng, is dead, along with three of his men. Each was stabbed in the throat with a single sword strike, but the wound is not a sword wound, but a hole, suspected to have been caused by a bamboo pole, as Zhu Gan is in Shangjing. The whereabouts of Zhu Gan and Shisan Niang are unknown and await investigation."
"At noon on the 30th, Susu and I went to the South Gate Tavern for lunch. Lu Feng, the Disaster Eliminator, was injured by Susu, and his men claimed they were coming to the capital to rescue Liu Sanbian and his three companions. Liu Sanbian has a daughter named Liu Jiumei, known in the martial arts world as the Smiling Fox, a master of martial arts and a ruthless mind. Shisanniang once owed Liu Jiumei a huge favor, and since she and Zhu Gan had come to the capital, I assumed they were going to do the same thing. It's just... why did Zhu Gan kill the Disaster Eliminator and his men?"
Su Jue spoke very seriously, and Fu Xiaoguan also listened carefully.
There is still no news from Xilou. How did Su Jue know about it?
He looked at Su Jue, who smiled calmly: "Daoyuan was born in troubled times, and Master has already made plans."
"You mean... the world will be in chaos?"
"That's not my opinion, it's the master's opinion."
"What does he think?"
“…He was looking up at the sky.”
"..." Fu Xiaoguan didn't know what to say. Su Jue thought Fu Xiaoguan didn't believe it, so he added: "But... Master's opinion is not wrong."
Fu Xiaoguan became interested in the abbot of this Taoist temple. This person was no ordinary person. Fu Xiaoguan only recently learned that the world was going to be in chaos because His Majesty was going to make a big move and would not hesitate to let the Yu Dynasty be in chaos for a few years to eliminate all hidden dangers that might endanger the safety of the Yu Dynasty.
The master of the temple had actually seen this a long time ago and had made a plan based on it. This plan was probably similar to that of Xiyu Tower.
"Do you think their target will be me?"
Su Jue nodded. "It's not easy to rescue Liu Sanbian and the others, but if we can capture you and use you to threaten His Majesty, I think His Majesty will not be willing to use your life to exchange for the lives of those bandits. This way the success rate will be higher."
"Does the government know that four people died there?"
Su Jue nodded, "The new Jinling prefect, Ning Yuchun, has already sent detectives to investigate."
Fu Xiaoguan narrowed his eyes, and after a few breaths, he said, "From tomorrow on, I will be traveling alone. You can just follow from a distance."
"no!"
Dong Shulan immediately denied it.
"That's too dangerous. What if they don't kidnap you but instead assassinate you?"
Su Jue nodded and said, "We believe this is most likely a trap, designed to trick you into thinking they're kidnapping you in exchange for Liu Sanbian and the other two. After misjudging you, you'll undoubtedly decide to use yourself as bait. Once we move away, the assassins will have a good chance of killing you directly, and that's exactly what they're aiming for."
Yu Wenjun was a little confused. Is it really that dangerous? "How about I ask my father to send a team of guards to protect you?"
Only then did Su Su realize that this girl was actually the emperor's daughter. She was even more confused. Could this Fu Xiaoguan... be the illegitimate son of an emperor from another country?
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't worry. Starting tomorrow, I will be showing off in Shangjing City. If they just want to kidnap me, then they are Liu Jiumei's people. If they want to kill me, then they are from a certain force."
"I already know one of the forces, but now I need to verify whether there are other forces."
"I don't like being stared at by people hiding in the dark. Big Brother, I have a favor to ask of you. Have your people check out that dilapidated temple at the top of Confucius Temple!"
