"Your brain..."
Eunuch Jia shook his head and said word by word, "Mr. Ding'an said there are two types of people in the world who deserve special attention. One is those who use their brains to do things. These people are good at planning, and their plans are as subtle as a snake, lurking thousands of miles away. These people always plan big things, and they don't act lightly, but when they do, it's with thunder and lightning."
The other type is people who focus on one thing. They are determined and never give up, and they strive to achieve perfection in what they do.
The terrifying thing about these people is their seriousness, like an assassin who walks in the shadows or a swordsman obsessed with swords. These people devote their entire lives to what they love, and they are able to achieve the pinnacle of excellence in their respective fields.
Ding Anbo said that apart from these two types of people, the rest, even those at the Saint level, were not to be feared. The most foolish among them were people like you, who should have been holding a knife but instead wanted to hold a pen, and even thought they could write a good article.
He calls people like you...idiots!"
Song Qingtian's expression suddenly changed. He didn't understand what "silly pen" meant, but he vaguely felt that it sounded like an insult.
Eunuch Jia's expression was very calm at the moment. So, it seemed that he had probably already made arrangements in the palace.
This operation was so cautious, how did he know?
…
…
Three quarters of an hour at Chou time.
Dieyi Palace, pavilion in the front yard.
Fu Xiaoguan was cooking a pot of wine. Emperor Xuan and Empress Shang were all there, and Xu Xinyan was standing behind him.
"It's too late to stop the news now..." Fu Xiaoguan poured a glass of wine for Emperor Xuan and Empress Shang, and said, "But in my opinion, this is not a big deal."
As he spoke, he looked up at Queen Shang, whose expression was somewhat gloomy. He smiled faintly, "Mother-in-law, why should you worry about such a trivial matter? Just kill those martial arts masters and that's it. As for the rumors, if he kills enough of them, the rumors will naturally die out."
Emperor Xuan took a deep breath and said, "These damned villains, you are in full control of this matter. Those who deserve to be killed, behead them all!"
"I obey your command. They won't last much longer. Your Majesty, I have a suggestion for you."
"Go ahead."
"It's impossible to prohibit the practice of martial arts in the Jianghu. Why not take this opportunity to establish a martial arts management bureau, perhaps called... the Six Gates! Your Majesty will issue an order requiring all Jianghu members of the Yu Dynasty to register at the Six Gates in various locations, obtain badges, and travel the Jianghu..."
"Those without badges will be considered refugees, and the government can arrest and imprison them directly. This way, those in the underworld will have rules, and the use of force to violate the law will not happen again."
Emperor Xuan's eyes lit up. He didn't understand why it was called the Six Gates, but he understood the meaning. "Excellent! I will issue an imperial decree tomorrow morning on this matter."
Suddenly, several gunshots rang out in the silent palace. Fu Xiaoguan did not even look up. He held up the wine glass and drank it all.
It seems that the people from Jianlin have arrived, but after the gunshots, they probably can't leave.
Empress Shang looked up at the night sky, then suddenly looked at Fu Xiaoguan and said, "If I really am the Second Elder of Cemen, what would you do?"
Fu Xiaoguan also looked at Empress Shang, and raised the corner of his mouth. "I don't know anything about the Second Elder of Cemen. I only know that your Majesty is my mother-in-law."
Queen Shang smiled, and the gloom on her face disappeared.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Fu Xiaoguan was full of tenderness, just like the warm night breeze in early summer.
"I didn't misjudge you."
"My master whom I have never met...is he really the grand elder of Cemen?" Fu Xiaoguan asked curiously.
Queen Shang shook her head, "He is not."
Fu Xiaoguan was slightly startled, "Then who is it?"
Queen Shang took a sip from her wine glass and asked, "Is this important?"
"Uh... my fat dad said none of this matters."
"That's enough. Cemen no longer has a Grand Elder, and the key to the treasure... has long been lost. I have been trying to find the whereabouts of the treasure and the key for many years, but I still can't find them. Instead, it was you who went to the southwest to fight and spread the news, so..."
She raised her eyes to look at Emperor Xuan and said, "So you are truly a lucky general of the Yu Dynasty!"
"I hope that the relationship between you and His Majesty will be close, that between ruler and subject, and between father-in-law and son-in-law, and that you can create a peaceful and prosperous era for the Yu Dynasty."
Fu Xiaoguan quickly bowed and said, "This is my duty as a son-in-law. With your majesty's trust, I will certainly help you share your worries and relieve the country's worries."
Fu Xiaoguan naturally understood Queen Shang's good intentions, but could the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and between the father-in-law and the son-in-law, really be close?
This is no longer important.
At this moment, Huo Huaijin hurried in. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the five bandits have been shot down, three dead and two seriously injured."
"Thoroughly investigate the families of these thieves and execute their entire clan as an example to the world!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Huo Huaijin turned and left. The matter was settled, and Fu Xiaoguan also stood up and said goodbye.
He returned to the Ding'an Earl's Mansion. The mansion was already quiet, but there was a person sitting in Taoranting.
She is Zhang Pei'er!
Fu Xiaoguan sat opposite Zhang Pei'er, looked at her tired face, smiled apologetically, and boiled another pot of wine.
"Thanks to you for sending the news, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Zhang Pei'er smoothed her hair from behind her ears and glanced at Fu Xiaoguan uncomfortably. "I've been working non-stop for three days and three nights to get here, and you can't even say thank you?"
Fu Xiaoguan smiled awkwardly, "We...are pretty familiar with each other, so thank you seems a bit strange...How have you been these days?"
Zhang Pei'er looked up at the moon in the sky and grinned bitterly. She suddenly felt her nose a little sour and tears welled up in her eyes but did not flow out.
"It's okay... I remember two years ago, in the carriage outside Linjiang Academy, you said I was too young. I've grown two years, at least two years older."
Fu Xiaoguan didn't know what to say. He had just arrived in this world and his thoughts were somewhat incompatible with this world. He didn't expect that his refusal would cause Zhang Pei'er to jump into the river.
"I'm sorry about that."
Fu Xiaoguan poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Zhang Pei'er. Zhang Pei'er took it and drank it all in one gulp. "You really are sorry for me!"
“…”
"Last year, I heard that something happened to you in the Wuchao Snow Mountain. I left the mountain and went to Linjiang. Linjiang is still the same..."
Zhang Pei'er took a deep breath. "I didn't go home, but I did go to the Fu Mansion and look at the door lintel. I also went to Linjiang Tower and sat in the seat you once sat in. I had a meal alone. Then I went to Banshan Academy and looked at the Wind-Moving Stone."
"I really thought you were dead, but I didn't expect to see you again in Pingling."
Zhang Pei'er withdrew her gaze and fell on Fu Xiaoguan's face. She looked at it very seriously and suddenly said, "If you were really dead... it would be great!"
