Now the Wu and Ji families are said to have both contracted tuberculosis and are trapped in the Wu and Ji mansions, not allowed to travel.
The people are now determined not to go to the direction of these two families and stay away from them.
They can't get out.
But his people couldn't get in.
What a great Ji family!
What a great Wu family!
The emperor gritted his teeth and almost wanted to eat Wu Weian alive.
But Wu Weian was far away in Liangzhou, and he had lost Beishan and the Xie family. Liangzhou was no longer under his control, and he was no longer able to reach it.
*
Late at night, Wu Weian placed seven night-shining pearls as big as pigeon eggs in front of his desk, and carefully carved a human skin mask under the night-shining pearls.
In a few days, the prince will set off to return to the capital, and he will be escorted all the way by Ji Minghao and the disguised Ji family soldiers.
Wu Weian was made for the Crown Prince and Ji Minghao.
Ji Yunxi came in from outside and was about to ask him how he was doing when she was confronted by the seven bright night pearls.
They're all hers.
She always kept it in a secret compartment beside her bed so that she could use it when she got up at night.
Ji Yunxi was quiet for a moment, then stood behind him and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you think it's too bright?"
Wouldn't he go blind if he looked like this?
Wu Wei'an didn't even raise his head as he carefully sharpened the tiny tip of the pen bit by bit: "No, it has to be this bright."
Ji Yunxi: “…”
Her eyes turned slightly and fell on the rosewood box beside her.
There were originally several human skins inside, but only the last thin piece was left.
But there was a lot more change.
Ji Yunxi roughly calculated it and it was about one hundred taels.
She tutted, "You only have one left."
Wu Weian's hand trembled, and he almost ruined the mask he was drawing halfway.
He stopped writing, raised his head, and looked at Ji Yunxi seriously: "Madam, at this time, don't say such disturbing words to me."
Someone was approaching, and Ji Yunxi looked outside.
The window was closed at this time, so I couldn't see who it was, but I thought the only person who would come here at this time was probably Yuan Guanshi.
Ji Yunxi lowered her brows and reached out to move the silver coins in the Huanghuali wood box, as if she were lightly turning an abacus, and said leisurely, "But you have saved up one hundred and fifty-two taels."
The manager outside the window paused and his ears pricked up instantly.
Wu Weian: “…”
Ji Yunxi smiled slightly: "Yes, your daughter's dowry is just around the corner."
She left this sentence and turned to walk towards the bed.
Wu Weian: “…”
She is clearly making trouble for his daughter's dowry!
Manager Yuan called out from outside the window, "Young Master."
Wu Weian withdrew his gaze, closed the rosewood box, hid it at his feet, and then opened the window on one side, but only a little.
As soon as the window was opened, Manager Yuan, who was peeking inside, closed his eyes instantly.
This is too dazzling!
Wu Wei'an looked at the sinister and cunning old face outside and sneered: "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Manager Yuan stepped back half a step and bowed respectfully, his face wrinkled with loyalty. "Sir, the three guardians have sent a message by carrier pigeon and have arrived in Shangjing."
Wu Weian nodded, this was about the time he expected.
He reached out and took out a note that had been written long ago from under the night pearl, and handed it to Yuan Guanshi through the small gap.
As the manager Yuan reached out to take it, the window was closed with a snap.
He stared at the window silently for a long while: "Sir, there is one more thing."
Wu Weian didn't reply.
"Sir," said the steward, "my brothers in the Liangzhou area have suffered from the floods and their families have been devastated. Life is really hard now. They have come to me specifically to ask for the money they owed us. What do you think?"
During the flood in Qinghe County, Manager Yuan saw everything the young master did.
If he says so, you will probably agree.
I think that after this flood, the young master's heart is no longer as cold and hard as before.
But Manager Yuan waited for a while, but his young master still didn't speak.
Yuan Guanshi said again: "Sir, I have calculated it, and it is not much, about one hundred and fifty taels."
Wu Wei'an: "Get lost."
Manager Yuan: “…”
Wu Weian no longer had the heart to draw masks, as this was clearly his favorite job.
He put down the special pen and suddenly looked towards the bed.
Ji Yunxi had a very faint smile on her lips, but she didn't have time to hide it.
Wu Wei'an took a deep look, then said to Manager Yuan, "Tell them to wait a little longer."
"One month at the earliest, one and a half months at the latest." Wu Weian tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes reflecting the light of the seven night pearls. "I will pay it back then."
Having said this, Manager Yuan could not say anything else and just took the order and left.
Ji Yunxi, who was lying on the bed, listened and raised her eyebrows.
In one to one and a half months, the prince will be able to reach the capital city.
And that day in Qinghe County, before the rising sun, Wu Weian told her that when the crown prince arrived in Shangjing, it would be the time for him to ascend the throne.
It's obvious what this means.
And the meaning of what Wu Weian said to Manager Yuan at this moment was very clear.
When the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, he will no longer want these expensive chess pieces.
He wants to run away.
After all, the people behind him don't know who he is.
He made all the contacts through one level at a time, and only a few people at the top knew that he was Wu Weian.
Wu Weian put away the things, held the seven night pearls to the bedside, and put them back into the secret compartment one by one.
Ji Yunxi asked, "Are you sure this can be accomplished within a month to a month and a half?"
Wu Weian lifted the quilt and lay down: "Yes."
He tilted his head to look: "Madam, don't you believe me?"
Ji Yunxi: "After the task is completed, you will just abandon me. Who would dare to believe you?"
