No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 384
"Six sons!"

The voice of Persian businessman Li Li was both surprised and happy.

Li Li, who had just returned from Zhu Lingxu's house, looked at Wei Shaoxuan who suddenly boarded the carriage halfway. His green bean-like eyes widened and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the starry sky outside the car window.

The Persian businessman rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

Zhu Lingxu was about to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow and invited him to discuss important matters. Li Li just finished the discussion there and left Zhu Lingxu's mansion in the city.

His carriage drove quietly through the streets of Chaisangfang in the night.

As a result, on the way to Yunmengze, Wei Shaoxuan, who had been out of contact for a long time, suddenly boarded the carriage and appeared in front of him.

"You... why are you here?" After a pause, the surprise faded slightly, and joy took over Li Li's face:

"You are finally back. The villain has had a hard time looking for you."

Wei Shaoxuan looked like he had not changed much from before. He had a black iron token with the word "Wei" hanging on his waist. After boarding the carriage, he looked calm and composed, sat down in front of Li Li, reached over and lowered the curtain.

Wei Shaoxuan did not look at Li Li, patted his sleeves, then directly picked up the brown pottery teapot on the small coffee table in the center of the luxurious and spacious carriage, and poured a cup of hot tea.

He took a sip, and in front of the Persian businessman who was looking at him curiously, he let out a long breath: "Huh——"

Wei Shaoxuan didn't reply, and Li Li was a little embarrassed.

There was a brief silence in the car.

Not seen for a long time, Li Li's green eyes carefully looked at the feminine young man opposite him who had returned in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the secret guards following Li Li's carriage, after being surprised, finally noticed that someone was boarding the carriage halfway, and they all showed up and rushed over, and the carriage slowly stopped.

"who?"

"Boss Li, are you okay..."

The guards asked with concern.

Li Li glanced at Wei Shaoxuan, who was sitting in the car and watching him calmly. He turned his head, and a withered hand full of five fingers inlaid with ice jadeite and gold and white jade rings stretched out the curtain and looked out the window at the secret guards silently. He waved.

The secret guards retreated one after another.

Li Li turned around with a smile on his face:
"Congratulations, Sixth Young Master. After more than half a year of experience, your spiritual energy cultivation has become more and more advanced. Just before you got into the car and sat down, neither the villain nor your subordinates noticed your heroic appearance. It's so amazing...

"But, Sixth Young Master, are you back from Yunmengze...how did you find the villain?"

Wei Shaoxuan smiled: "After coming out, I received a letter from my father."

Li Li frowned: "A letter from the prince?"

"Huh, do you think you are the only one under my father's command in Jiangnan? Monopolizing all our family's resources here?"

He chuckled, his voice a little louder.

"No, I don't dare." Li Li quickly lowered his head and wiped his sweat.

Wei Shaoxuan came back from Yunmengze and seemed to have learned a good tea ceremony, and now he was making tea by himself.

Opposite him, the Persian businessman was embarrassed for a moment, looked around, and quickly found a topic to talk about:
"By the way, Mr. Wei, you are back. Where is Mr. Qiu, and the most important thing... the tripod sword."

Lower your voice:

"The prince is waiting for the young master and Ding Jian in the capital. The planned Great Zhou Songde Tianshu and the four Buddha statues are about to be built. Except for the unexpected rebellion in Guizhou and the need to re-select the site, it will not slow down the plan. …

"Your Majesty is waiting for the new cauldron sword now, and wants to give His Majesty a surprise. This is the real God's blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is much more reliable than the missing jade that makes it perfect."

"Oh? Are Tianshu and the others waiting for the Cauldron Sword..." Wei Shaoxuan nodded and muttered to himself.

Li Li's eyes became suspicious: "This... Young Master doesn't know?"

Wei Shaoxuan raised his head and smiled: "Of course I know, but... I didn't expect it to be so urgent."

Li Li sighed:

"Well, you don't know something. When you didn't come back, the situation in the palace was not good for more than half a year. Before Li Zhengyan's rebellion came out, the only thing the prince could count on was this. Now he has won the position of chief military officer of the Jiangzhou Road March. , military success is in sight, but we have regained a victory and can breathe a little."

Wei Shaoxuan nodded and suddenly said:

"Actually, I not only know this, but I also know that someone is more anxious."

"who?"

"His Majesty."

When Wei Shaoxuan uttered these two words, Boss Li was in awe.

"Why, you can't think of it? Isn't it obvious?"

The feminine young man said calmly:
"Li Zhengyan is causing trouble in the southwest with great momentum. Regarding the giant Buddha here in Jiangzhou...well, of course His Majesty is also very anxious. The sooner it is completed, the better.

"Just before I entered the city, I went to see the two peaks. Rumor has it that the construction of the giant Buddha is still in full swing. I think the female officer sent by His Majesty to supervise it is already urging it."

Li Li was stunned for a moment, his eyes showing admiration:

"Sixth Young Master is really good at predicting things. His guesses are really correct. He saw the situation clearly right after he came back... I thought that Young Master was busy with Yun Mengze's affairs and had no time for him to take care of...

"When the Sixth Young Master said this, I felt that His Majesty should indeed be a little anxious.

"It is related to the secret of the tripod sword and the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Your Majesty fully supports the prince's construction of Tianshu and Sifang Buddha statues. However, your majesty probably does not know yet that the prince and the Sixth Young Master can obtain a new tripod sword, and does not know the prince's full plan.

"But it still concerns the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. No wonder so many palace ladies were sent here. It seems that not only the palace of Prince Xunyang is guarded, but the giant Buddha in Jiangzhou is also very important. His Majesty must have arranged it in advance, just in case."

"The secret fortune of the Cauldron Sword, the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom..." Wei Shaoxuan muttered to himself and nodded.

Li Li saw that the smile on the face of the feminine young man became brighter, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so happy, Master..."

Wei Shaoxuan didn't look at him, took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely:

"This time, after dormant in Yunmeng Ze for more than half a year, the group of Yunmeng female cultivators were really difficult to deal with, especially the eldest daughter Xue Zhuzhu. But fortunately, with the help of my foster father, I took the opportunity to obtain the Immortal Medicine Sword Art. Ha, this Returned with a full load.

"Don't worry, Ding Jian has been brought back to the capital by his adoptive father and is on the way."

"That's good, that's good!"

When Li Li heard this, he immediately beamed with joy:
"Next time the prince writes, I don't need to press you anymore. Hey, Sixth Young Master, you don't know that you and Ding Jian have not returned before. I am helpless. I have issued a military order in front of the prince. If I can't find you, I will raise my head. Go see the prince."

Wei Shaoxuan glanced at Li Li, who had a bitter smile on his face, nodded gently, and said with a smile:
"I also left Yunmengze, received the latest letter from my father, and after asking the messenger, I found out that the matter was so urgent, so I asked my adoptive father to take Dingjian back as soon as possible.

"As for you, I learned a little bit about the affairs of Prince Xunyang's Mansion, Wang Lengran, and Zhu Lingxu from the letter. I came here specially to wait for my father. As the general manager of Jiangzhou Road March, he will arrive soon. , meet again then.”

"Sixth Young Master is wise."

Wei Shaoxuan patted the Persian businessman on the shoulder:
"It's all thanks to you. Li Li, after tonight's incident, I will reward you well."

"what?"

The reward was so sudden that Li Li was a little confused.

Wei Shaoxuan said seriously:

"Without the ink dragon pill you provided last time, it would be difficult to obtain the sword secret in Yunmengze this time. It's a good thing. It can not only save lives at critical moments, but also kill people."

He bared his white teeth.

"I see."

Li Li nodded, his expression still curious, and he opened his mouth to ask.

Wei Shaoxuan suddenly interrupted: "But there is one thing, Li Li, did you fail to do it well?"

"What's the matter?" Li Li was nervous.

"I have heard from the messenger that I am responsible for the affairs of Prince Xunyang's Mansion. Li Li, didn't I ask you to help me reply to the letter and tell my father that Prince Xunyang's family has no ill intentions and can we fight for it? Didn't you send this son to me?" His words fell on deaf ears and were not brought to him?
"What does it mean to play the game at night?"

Li Li quickly shook his head:

"The villain has told the prince a long time ago about the sixth young master, but the prince has other opinions and said that there is no need to let them all return to the capital.
"Since the Sixth Young Master likes his cousin Guo'er, and the lineage of King Xunyang has some value and cannot be cut off, then just leave some widows and daughters to return to the capital. This will give His Majesty an explanation and allow the Sixth Young Master to marry the daughter of King Xunyang. , it can be regarded as an intermarriage between the divorced and the Wei to ease the situation, so there is no need to all come back and raise tigers..." Wei Shaoxuan suddenly became speechless and nodded seriously:
"It has to be the father."

Li Li sighed sadly:

"It's a pity that Guo Yu and Meng Shouguang are useless. Ouyang Lianghan luckily saw through them. It's been a long time to plan and fall short. It's really hateful!"

"Wei Shaoxuan" raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the Persian businessman who had a dissatisfied and angry expression on his face. He thought for a while and decided to say something fair:
"This Ouyang Lianghan is actually quite smart. Well, he is probably half as good as me."

Li Li nodded bitterly: "So, it's just a half-full bucket of water, wandering around blindly!"

Wei Shaoxuan: "..."

Li Li quickly added:

"What the villain is saying is that I am lucky enough to have half the wisdom of the Sixth Young Master, and I have been blessed throughout my life. But when I succeed, I wish that all the half-empty water in the bucket would be sloshed out, and I would make faces all over the place. Humph, this guy really needs to learn how to learn the Sixth Young Master." Young Master, as a rare sword wielder, keeps a low profile and hides his clumsiness.

"It seems that what the noble son said is true. How can such a humble scholar compare to the cultivation of the Sixth Young Master from a high family?"

"Li Li, Li Li." Wei Shaoxuan sighed and patted the Persian businessman on the shoulder:

"You have a bright future with your mouth, and you really deserve a reward."

Li Li smiled sarcastically: "Thank you very much, sir."

Wei Shao

Li Li argued:
"The reason why the situation was broken seems to have been found recently. Ouyang Lianghan and the Xunyang Palace seem to have bribed Qin Heng, the captain of Guoyi of the Zhechong Palace under Wang Lengran. It is impossible to say that this person was so bold that night, he not only participated in the operation, but also secretly reported the news."

"Ah."

Wei Shaoxuan nodded slightly, wondering if it was okay, lowered his eyes and asked:
"But in this game, I am a little curious about something. How did we get the Hetian jade medal from King Xiang Lilun? It was really Uncle Liang Wang who took advantage of King Xiang's unpreparedness at the banquet for the princess's birthday and exchanged words with each other. Can I get it in exchange for a token?"

Li Li couldn't help but said dumbly: "Uh..."

Wei Shaoxuan changed the topic and curled his lips: "In other words, do we have a deal with the Prime Minister's Palace that we can weigh for a while?"

"Sixth Young Master, are you talking about cooperation?"

Li Li understood the implication, scratched his head and replied:

"Actually, I don't know much about this. I heard from the prince that this deadly situation was planned by a counselor in the palace of His Highness Prince Liang.

"The Hotan Jade Tablet was given directly to the villain by someone from Prince Liang's Mansion. I don't know the details of how it was obtained."

"The counselor of King Liang, ha." Wei Shaoxuan nodded: "What a poisonous man, interesting."

Li Li flattered him and said, "You are only half as good as the Sixth Young Master."

Wei Shaoxuan smiled and said,

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "I'm here this time to inform you of something important."

"Sir, please speak." Li Li's expression suddenly became serious.

Wei Shaoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "While Yun Mengze was looking for sword techniques, I saw a group of unexpected people."

"Who?"

"Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi and others."

Boss Li was stunned.

Wei Shaoxuan squinted his eyes, as if recalling something, and continued:
"Li Zhengyan brought a strange picture scroll over, as if he was looking for some kind of peach blossom garden. It was suspected to have some connection with Yunmeng Jianze Yue Nu. I don't know what the deal was.

"I guess it may be related to an unknown tripod sword.

"I'm afraid Li Zhengyan holds a tripod sword, which is related to the safety of his father who leads the army and the Jiangzhou front army.
"I want to see Zhu Lingxu, and I have some things to tell you.

"Take me to see him quickly."

"Tripod Sword!"

Li Li didn't have time to think too much and nodded vigorously:

"As ordered!"

The Persian businessman lowered his voice and ordered the groom outside:

"Quickly, go back the way you came..."

After half an hour.

Chaisangfang, Zhu Lingxu's new residence, in a private study.

Wei Shaoxuan drank tea leisurely and waited, while Boss Li sat beside him.

"Sir, wait a moment. Zhu Lingxu has just gone to bed. He has been notified and will be here soon."

Wei Shaoxuan nodded and asked casually:

"Who was that hunchbacked old monk standing at the door just now? He looked interesting."

Boss Li answered truthfully like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube:

"This Tutu monk was once the gatekeeper of the Miyin Temple. He was extremely talented when he was young and was considered one of the Buddhist disciples of Tantric Buddhism. Later, something happened and he became an abandoned disciple. He became an ascetic Tutu, begging for food... He was accidentally killed by the palace last year. To recruit, the prince called him Miyin Toutuo."

"What is the cultivation level of this Miyin Tutuo?"

"Sixth grade." Boss Li whispered, and then added: "King Kong."

Wei Shaoxuan smiled and nodded:
"it is good."

Putting down the tea cup, he patted the Persian businessman on the shoulder with praise on his face:

"You are quite considerate in your work. Zhu Lingxu is really the key to the current situation. He is leading the charge for our family. We really need to pay attention to safety."

"Young Master is unaware of something. The main reason is that Ouyang Lianghan is too cunning and has to be more careful."

When Li Li mentioned the four-character name, he gritted his teeth:
"Look now, this Ouyang Lianghan is determined to assist the Xunyang Palace and fight against us."

"My lord, come here."

Wei Shaoxuan picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said without raising his eyelids:

"The conspiracy of the poisonous men in Prince Liang's palace has something to it, but it's not very interesting.
"I also have a plan to teach people to die without a burial place."

Li Li's eyes lit up: "Young Master is a great talent, I would like to hear the details."

Wei Shaoxuan smiled slightly, blew into the tea and said:

"Let's keep it a secret for now." He let it slip.

He raised his hand and supported his chin as if out of habit, but Li Li next to him didn't pay attention.

However, after getting along with each other for a while, Li Li, who was good at observing words and expressions, could clearly feel that after returning from this experience, the Sixth Young Master's aura had reduced a lot, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

People can't even notice the fluctuations in spiritual energy cultivation, a bit like the unfathomable Mr. Qiu.

However, Mr. Qiu's cultivation level is too high, just like a high mountain. He is at the foot of the mountain, with floating clouds covering his eyes.

The Sixth Young Master was different. It was clearly a raging river, but it disappeared without a trace. The river dried up. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it had turned into an underground river, hiding the water.

I don’t know what kind of great opportunity the Sixth Young Master got in Yunmengze. Could it be the magical power of the Immortal Medicine Sword Technique...

The Persian businessman said to himself while serving tea to the effeminate young man in front of him.

At this time, Zhu Lingxu rushed over. Under Boss Li’s warm introduction, he respectfully handed over:

"Sixth Young Master, I have admired you for a long time and you are here late at night. What are your orders?"
