Dear, suggest that the villain usurp the throne?

System: [Can you pay attention to your personal image? 】

Lou Qingyan: [Crack, click, what's wrong? 】,

System: [If those nagging subordinates of yours see you cracking a handful of melon seeds every day when you have nothing to do, and leaning on the balcony to listen to the quarrel downstairs, I think their worldview will collapse. 】

Lou Qingyan: [Life, don't be so nervous all the time, every day Liangyu looks like someone is going to kill him, I feel annoyed when I see it.The subordinates want to see their boss look mighty and domineering, so I will play that role.Carrying burdens when no one is around, and worrying about things all day long, are you tired? 】

System: [This is not the reason for you to lie down and knock melon seeds on your stomach. 】

Lou Qingyan: [Kacha Kacha. 】

System: [What did you intentionally provoke Lu Jin a few days ago?Didn't you all make up your mind not to tease him? 】

Lou Qingyan: [Isn't there nothing I can do? 】

Ever since Lou Qingyan's auxiliary panel opened the phased task package, his whole person has changed.

Gift packs have two effects.

One is to allow him to summon Fushi with almost no side effects, and the other is to enable the function of "task progress observation bar" for him, and this function allows Lou Qingyan to clearly and intuitively see how much his usurping mission has been completed.

Since Lou Qingyan established the North Star Pavilion, the North Star Pavilion has been growing all the way, and the task observation bar has also been advancing all the way, reaching 50%.

But when the task bar reaches 50%, no matter what Lou Qingyan does, no matter how much Beixing Pavilion expands, this value remains unchanged, as if frozen.

Later, by chance, Lou Qingyan triggered a side mission and got a reminder.

It turned out that his mission could not be advanced because his Beixing Pavilion had been rejected by the royal family of Xia Kingdom.As long as his sphere of influence does not involve the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, the quest reading will never advance.

Lou Qingyan figured that since he had the capital in his hands, it would be a good idea to return to the capital of Xia Kingdom, so he came back alone.

He intentionally released some news to lure Eleven over to get himself and Lu Yu on the line.

However, Lou Qingyan couldn't think of what to say to Lu Yu.Anyway, Lu Yu couldn't find him for a while, so the owner of the pavilion, who has been idle recently, became interested in teasing him.

Suddenly, there was movement outside the door.

Lou Qingyan nimbly rolled over from the couch, gathered the melon seeds, scattered them, and casually took the purple feather coat hanging beside her, she didn't put it on properly, but simply draped it over her shoulders.

He stepped barefoot on the finely woven tatami mat, held the feather robe with one hand to prevent it from falling off, and pushed open the paper door with the other hand.

"What happened to you again?"

Everyone outside the door was stunned.

When Lou Qingyan opened the door and came out, she immediately restrained her leisurely and aloof temperament, her face was serious, and an unquestionable temperament emerged from the slight laziness and casualness.

System: [I think you are more suitable for face-changing. 】

Lou Qingyan: [Shut up. 】

It was Eleven and Liangyu who were making noise outside the door.The two of them restrained their movements when Lou Qingyan came out, from a huddle to a trembling little daughter-in-law.

Liang Yu: "Pavilion Master, this man always sneaks up. I'm not at ease. I said a few words to him, and he started fighting with me."

Eleven: "Didn't your pavilion master tell you all? I'm not an enemy. Who is disgusting to look like an enemy?"

Liangyu: "You."

eleven:"……"

Seeing this situation, Lou Qingyan knew that Eleven had received a reply from Lu Yu, so he let Liangyu go down and let Eleven enter the house.

"Did His Majesty ask you to bring a message?"

After entering the house on Eleventh, he was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty has agreed to have a business relationship with the Pavilion Master."

Lou Qingyan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Yu to be so talkative: "Oh? Then what is His Majesty planning to entrust me with?"

Eleven pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.

Lou Qingyan: "..."

When he saw Eleven's expression, he knew something was wrong.

"Your Majesty said that he wants to entrust the Pavilion Master to find the owner of Fengguan for him."

"Who does he want to marry? Let him marry by himself. What does it have to do with me? I'm not their royal matchmaker?"

"What does His Majesty mean, the pavilion master should know." Eleven said flatly.

Lou Qingyan didn't speak, and turned to look at the balcony.

This room is facing the lake, and there is a terrace facing the lake on one side of the room, from which you can see the lively street scene outside.

The candlelight in the room was dim, but the warm and noisy light from outside flooded into the room and shone on his face.

Eleven sighed: "It's been so long."

"Yeah, it's been three years. I thought his obsession wasn't that deep anymore." Lou Qingyan shook her head mockingly, and looked back at Eleven, "Forget it, I'll find another way to connect with the royal family. Bar."

"No."

"why?"

Eleven turned his head without looking and said: "Your Majesty said that there is no one in the world who can refuse his business, and he must accept you for this entrustment. In order to ensure that the phoenix crown can be delivered to you safely, he will personally come to see you." trip."

"..." Lou Qingyan, "I'll go first, you can do whatever you want."

Eleven: "He said, if you dare to leave the capital, you won't want Beixing Pavilion's business in Xiaguo."

"He's avenging himself!"

Eleven paused: "It's obviously not revenge, but courtship."

"Please shut up!"

Lou Qingyan closed her eyes and covered her forehead.

He walked away like that three years ago, and took Lu Yu's credit for killing King Yan as an advertisement for Beixing Pavilion's prosperity, so he was ready to fight Lu Yu.

Who knows, after three years, the first sentence Lu Yu said to him has not changed.

Eleven seems to be pouring oil on his heart: "He still said it."

"Say what?" Lou Qingyan spoke very quickly and in a hurry.

Eleven said: "Back then, when the draft was made like that, the Queen Mother was disheartened. She wanted to accept you, and everything was being prepared. Who knew that something like this happened later, and everything was put on hold."

Lou Qingyan half-closed his eyes, turned his head to look at the scene outside: "Didn't you come to persuade me to leave at that time?"

"Yes. I don't regret doing it."

"What about now? Send a message for Lu Yu to find me back, what do you think?"

Eleven didn't know how to answer, he hesitated, his eyes turned wildly.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the balcony and poured into the room, blinding his eyes.When he opened his eyes, Lou Qingyan was no longer in the original place.

Eleven turned his head in surprise, and found that Lou Qingyan was actually standing on the railing of the ledge, his purple feather coat was swaying by the night wind from the water alley.

Eleven looked up at Lou Qingyan in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"I still feel that you did the right thing three years ago, and I should really leave." Lou Qingyan laughed, "Don't worry, I won't go back. But I do have business to look for Lu Yu, to meet him It doesn't matter. It's okay if he wants to entrust, everything will be arranged according to the rules of Beixing Pavilion, and we don't need to meet later."

After speaking, he lightly jumped off the platform.

"I'll give you that bag of melon seeds. Dingweixuan's craftsmanship is hard to come by."

Eleven hurried over and leaned over the railing to watch.

Below the platform is the river that runs through the capital.This section of the river flows through the village. There are not many large cargo ships, but there are many painting boats and Uppong boats.After Lou Qingyan jumped off the platform, he landed directly on an ordinary boat.

The boat picked up Lou Qingyan, did not stop, and sailed leisurely to the distance.Liang Yu was wearing a bamboo hat and held the pole for him on the boat.

Eleven knew that he would never find Lou Qingyan again.

He turned his head and found the bag of melon seeds on the tatami, and shrugged in disbelief.

According to the rules of Beixing Pavilion, all clients must visit Beixing Pavilion's mobile reception in that city alone with a deposit and necessary clues.

Such mobile receptions are very difficult to find because they have no fixed location and can only be found by familiar people or by chance.

Beixing Pavilion's mobile reception in the capital is exactly the boat on that river.

On the fifth day of every month, among the densely packed boats on this river, there is a person in purple clothes sitting in one of them.

The most recent day is the fifth day of May, which is the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, there are many more boats and boats on the river than in the past.There are also many lotus lanterns on both sides of the river, and the warm candlelight illuminates the river orange and warm.

Lou Qingyan pressed his hat and mixed in the crowd celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival.

There are special reception boats on the river today, and everything is running smoothly according to the rules.

He didn't have to come today.If he didn't want to, Lu Yu would never find him.

System: [Who said not to come and wait for him in person?Isn't there a dedicated receptionist?Why are you worried? 】

Lou Qingyan: [What are you talking about?Why can't I hear you? 】

System: [Oh, man. 】

Lou Qingyan: [Oh, a robot. 】

From a distance, he saw two figures at Huafang Pier.They wore the robes of ordinary scholars and looked very ordinary.But that gesture of raising hands and feet could not fool Lou Qingyan.

They bent over, as if they were putting something in the river.

The distance was too far, the figure in Lou Qingyan's eyes was as small as two grains of rice, but he was sure that it was Lu Yu.

he's changed.It turned out that his shoulders were not so thick, and he didn't have such a sharp feeling on his body.

System: [What, the revival of old love? 】

Lou Qingyan: 【Stop joking.I have been a senior brother for many years to him, but he only has two months of memory for me.If he can't let go, can I still not let go? 】

System: [Wipe the red marks at the corners of your eyes. 】

Lou Qingyan: […]

System: [Three years have passed, and you are still that stubborn Lou Qingyan.The degree of stubbornness is maintained at the same level as the possibility of you being hanged from a tree. 】

Lou Qingyan smiled to herself: [Then don't tell me.At least I still feel that time has diluted him, and I don't have a psychological burden to do the task. 】

If there is a phenomenon in the system, it is probably shrugging wildly: [Speaking of which, you asked Eleven to bring him to see you. If he is really determined to let you find the owner of Fengguan, what should you do? 】

Lou Qingyan: [No, according to the plot of the original book, he has recently encountered trouble.Although he has some resistance to Beixing Pavilion because of my relationship, the reputation of our work is not covered.With his serious character, he will not waste this rare opportunity, at least he will entrust another matter. 】

According to the plot of the original book, strange rumors have recently appeared in the imperial tomb, and many royal children guarding the tomb died.This matter should have belonged to the scope of work of the original Lou Qingyan, the shaman. After Lou Qingyan left, the successor astrologer only had the ability of astrology, and was helpless in matters involving witchcraft.

The ending of this incident in the original book finally became a thorn in Lu Yu's heart that could not be eliminated.

That's why Lou Qingyan came to the capital at this time. He could predict that if Lu Yu had the opportunity, he would entrust Beixing Pavilion with the case of the imperial tomb.

System: [Then if he entrusts two things at once, why not bring Feng Guan? 】

Lou Qingyan: 【Then stay. 】

System: [I knew it! ! 】

Lou Qingyan said the second half of the sentence: [I will return it to him on the day I succeed in usurping the throne. 】

The system's ecstatic voice suddenly fell like a kite with a broken string: 【...You really are very ambitious. 】

Suddenly, Lou Qingyan stopped talking with the system and turned her head in surprise.

He felt someone was watching him.

His gaze wandered among the bustling crowds on both sides of the river, and finally, Lou Qingyan's eyes met a figure the size of a grain of rice in the distance.

Lu Yu is looking in this direction?

But they were too far away, Lou Qingyan couldn't confirm the figure's face, let alone the line of sight.

Lou Qingyan quickly lowered the veil, lowered her head, and squeezed into the crowd.So far away, he shouldn't be able to see it.

The sound of the beating heart drowned out the noise of the crowd.

He soon reached a place where Lu Yu could not see, and he was relieved.

"Mom, I want to release Zhenlian too!"

Lou Qingyan came back to his senses and found that it was a child holding his mother and pointing at the river with one hand, as if there was something interesting to do.

He turned his head and looked towards the river.

There are many lotus lanterns burning near the edges of the river.The lotus lamp is very beautiful and conspicuous.Lou Qingyan took a closer look at this time and found that among the lotus lanterns, paper lotus flowers were quietly floating. From time to time, a burst of water rushed through, washing away the lotus flowers with the current, and drifting in the river.

Lou Qingyan walked to the river and looked down at those lotus lanterns.

There is no such Dragon Boat Festival tradition in his hometown in reality, it should be the custom of the world in the book.Every Dragon Boat Festival, people will write what they say to the person they miss the most on oiled paper, then fold it into the shape of a lotus flower and put it in the river.

It is said that the person who misses the most can hear this sentence.

Lou Qingyan walked to the river and squatted down.

Beside him, the child's babbling voice was still ringing: "Mom, can we talk to Dad?"

"Okay, what does Dabao want to say to Dad?"

"When will Dad come back, Dabao misses him!"

Lou Qingyan turned her head.On the other side, a blushing girl shyly went to the river, put down a Zhenzhen lotus, turned around and ran away.

It should be for my lover, probably behind my parents' backs.

Lou Qingyan stood up, smiled and shook her head

He has no one to wish on.

Suddenly, a strange desire caused his eyes to glance at a true lotus flowing down from the upper reaches.

After staying in this world for a long time, he has seen too many unnatural things, and dealing with gods and ghosts is not a minority.

At this moment, he could actually feel the traction of a coincidence of fate.

He picked up the true heart lotus from the water, and gently shook off the water drops.

The oiled paper is unfolded.

A kind of sandalwood that is familiar but deeper and richer than in memory floated out as the oiled paper unfolded, and under the gentle breeze, it meandered away over the warm yellow river.

"I know you're here."
