Only then did Shui Jing realize that he didn't intend to talk to them here, but to let others wait here, and only one person negotiated with him.

Several people looked at Shui Jing, and Shui Jing nodded slightly to indicate that they would stay later, and followed Fuqiu.

After entering the room, Fuqiu closed the door smoothly, and the two sat opposite each other at the desk.

"Speak." Fuqiu said.

Shui Jing has always been straightforward, seeing Fuqiu's reluctance to make false greetings at this time, he naturally wanted it, so he frankly told the purpose of the trip, and also informed the current team and future division of labor plans.

After hearing this, Fuqiu was silent for a moment, and concluded: "You want to infiltrate 'your own people' into the interior of Daluan, and eventually replace them?"

Shui Jing nodded, waiting for Fuqiu to continue asking.

In fact, Shui Jing was not sure to answer his next question properly, and even Fuqiu casually asked, "How does this benefit me", it was enough to make Shui Jing speechless.

Everyone on his list except Fuqiu either has a sworn feud with Daluan, or can achieve their own goals in the process of dealing with Daluan, or is as pure as a stone and willing to follow. water mirror.

But Fuqiu is different, he has no enmity with Daluan, and he has no friendship with Shui Jing. If dealing with Daluan is good for him, at most it is gaining a place in the court. When the Sang Kingdom fell, he could have directly recommended himself to Daluan with his ability in water and soil management, but he chose to spend all his wealth and live here in seclusion, obviously not interested in that "seat".

In this way, Shui Jing really couldn't find any benefit for him in dealing with Da Luan.

After a while, Fuqiu finally spoke, but what he asked was a question that had nothing to do with the matter: "What's your name?"

Shui Jing was startled, and then said truthfully: "Shui Jing."

Fuqiu nodded, and asked again: "Where is your home?"

Shui Jing hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth, and said, "The end of the North Sea."

He thought that Fuqiu would at least show some surprise when he heard the answer, but unexpectedly Fuqiu just looked at him with interest, and continued to ask: "How old are you?"

Shui Jing really didn't know what was the point of his asking these questions, and he was really difficult to answer this question, not because he didn't want to tell the truth, but because even he himself couldn't remember the exact age.

Fuqiu saw that his face was troubled, and he smiled indifferently, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said, "Forget it, I have one last question."

Shui Jing nodded: "You say."

Fuqiu tapped the table with his fingertips one after another, and said, "How does this benefit you?"

Shui Jing never expected that when Fuqiu finally mentioned "benefits", he would ask "for you" instead of "for me", and was caught off guard for a while.

He couldn't help following Fuqiu's question to recall his original intention, and recall the reason why he decided to start this project in the first place.

Thinking about it, he slowly turned his head and looked out of the window, just in time to meet Xie Wuyi's gaze from the side of the stone table.

The falling flowers are flying like snow.

Like waterfall blue silk, light robe and slow belt.

The former boy is no longer young now, the contours of the corners of his eyes and brows are becoming clearer, but the clarity and determination in his eyes are as clear as they were when he first saw him.

Shui Jing's gaze became softer, and the corners of her lips slightly bent inadvertently.

Fuqiu looked out the window following Shui Jing's gaze, and when he saw Xie Wuyi who was looking at Shui Jing, he seemed to understand something suddenly, and said, "Is it for him?"

"Hmm." Shui Jing admitted frankly.

All sorts of schemes and calculations, in the end, the "benefits" he did were nothing more than making the person in his eyes get what he wanted.

If he is happy, then everything is worth it.

Shui Jing withdrew her gaze, looked at Fuqiu and said, "But what else do you want to ask?"

Fuqiu chuckled lightly, "It's gone."

After that, he got up from the desk and said, "Let's go."

Shui Jing asked suspiciously, "Let's go?"

Fuqiu spread his hands, and said with a natural expression: "Didn't you come to persuade me to go with you?"

Shui Jing was at a loss for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You... agree?"

Fuqiu raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?"

Shui Jing blinked in disbelief, and said, "Why?"

From just now to now, Fu Qiu just asked Shui Jing a few innocuous questions, as if he was more interested in Shui Jing than the plan to deal with Da Luan.

Can he make a decision with just a few questions and answers?

Shui Jing was really confused.

Fuqiu smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Everything in the world does not have a reason. If you have to find a reason, you can regard me as a man of temperament. I met you today and I am very close. I am willing to help you , so good?"

Shui Jing couldn't laugh or cry, she just felt that although this matter was an unexpected joy, it was also ridiculous.

He stood up, took two steps and couldn't help asking: "You don't have any luggage to pack?"

Fuqiu raised his eyes and looked around the room, and said indifferently: "It's all external things, so don't worry about it."

The two walked out of the house side by side, the four people at the stone table saw them coming out, they all stood up from the table and looked at them, as if they were waiting for the result.

Shui Jing glanced at Fuqiu, and said to them: "Okay, let's go, we will be our own people from now on."

The four of them were a little surprised, Shui Jing told them earlier that Fuqiu was not easy to win over, but now it's only a cup of tea, and he has already become "one of our own"?

When going down the mountain, Ulanda deliberately lagged behind a few steps, leaned close to Shui Jing and said in a low voice, "God, how did you convince him?"

Before Shui Jing could answer, Fuqiu turned around and said, "Since you are curious, why don't you just ask me?"

"I'm not familiar with you" was clearly written on Ulanda's face, but he still moved to his side and said, "OK, OK, let me ask you, how did God persuade you?"

Shi Buyu also seemed to be quite curious about this "newcomer", moved slightly to his side, and looked up at him.

Fuqiu put his hands on Shi Buyu's shoulder like an old acquaintance, and said to Wu Landa: "I hit it off with the god, since he asked me, I should gladly agree."

He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said these words, Shi Jiu and Xie Wuyi both paused when they heard it, and turned their heads to look at Shui Jing.

Shui Jingtan shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

In fact, just now when Ulanda called out "Shenzun", Shui Jing was observing Fuqiu's reaction. Those people who heard this name before would be somewhat curious, but Fuqiu did not respond to these two words. After accepting this title, he followed Ulanda and called him "God Venerable" like a follower.

Shui Jing recalled every word Fuqiu said from the time he stepped into the small courtyard to the moment, and felt that Fuqiu's attitude towards him was not like that of a stranger he had never met, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart: Could it be that I Had friendship with him, but I forgot?

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Xie Wuyi suddenly stopped, as if he was about to speak.

Shui Jing wondered, "What's wrong?"

Xie Wuyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to see Yanque."

"Yanque?" Shui Jing was a little surprised, "Is she in Sangdi?"

Xie Wuyi nodded: "It's in Sandu."

Shui Jing didn't expect Xie Wuyi to send Yanque to Sangdi, let alone the most prosperous Sangdu.

Up to this time, all seven people on Shui Jing's list have been found. According to the original plan, they will first meet with Zhong Zangchan and Chi Ruogu, and then Jing Luan will bring the saltsmiths to Bai Maitianguan where the Huo family army stationed on the border of Hebei.

Shui Jing hesitated for a moment, then said to Shi Jiu: "You follow the original route, I will accompany him there."

After the soldiers were divided into two groups, the four of Shijiu headed westward to the temporary residence of the Zhong family brothers and sisters and Chi Ruogu, while Shui Jing reconciled with Xie Wuyi and headed south to Sangdu.

Halfway through the journey, Shui Jing couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did you choose Sangdu when you sent Yanque away?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Master, do you still remember who made up the sheet music back then?"

Shui Jing recalled briefly, and remembered that Xie Wuyi said that the person who repaired the score of "Question and Return Period" seemed to be Xiu Niang who fled from Sangdi to Yudu.

Xie Wuyi said: "Back when the Sang Kingdom was destroyed, a large number of embroidered women fled to Yudu. After the situation in Sangdi stabilized, they always had the idea of ​​returning home. When I sent Yanque away, I gave Aunt Zhou a sum of money, which was enough for them Opening an embroidery workshop in Sangdu will not only make the two of them have no worries about food and clothing, but also enable those embroiderers to return to their homeland."

Shui Jing nodded. He knew that this choice must be the result of careful consideration. Firstly, Sangdu would be far away from the predicament, so that he would not be affected by the chaos of the precarious situation.

It was already late when the two arrived in Sandu, but after all, this place was once the capital of a country, and its prosperity is unmatched by other places. Even at night, the streets and alleys are still very lively, with people coming and going.

At this time, it has been more than two years since Yanque left Yudu, and the two planned to inquire about the city a little bit, asking if there is any embroidery workshop that was newly opened in the past two years, but when they mentioned the embroidery workshop, they were asked All the people pointed to somewhere without even thinking about it, and answered "Yunyanxiu Mansion".

The "Yan" in the name of this embroidery mansion does seem to be somewhat related to Yanque, but judging from the reactions of those people, it is known that this embroidery mansion is quite famous in Sangdu, and it must have a large property, but the two of them are not very friendly I dare to believe that it was opened by Aunt Zhou and Yanque.

Following the direction pointed by others, Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi quickly found the embroidery mansion.

On this bustling street, this shop is indeed one of the most outstanding. Its facade spans six shops, with a nanmu plaque hanging on the lintel, with four gold characters "Yunyanxiufu" written on it. There are six red lanterns lined up in a row, those who don't know may think that a happy event is being prepared here.

The shop is brightly lit, and there is a bead curtain hanging on the door. Through the cracks in the curtain, dozens of embroidery frames can be seen arranged vertically and horizontally. There is an oil lamp in front of each frame, and the embroiderer sits behind the frame, holding her needle and thread with her head down and concentrating on completing each piece. Embroidery.

Different from other shops, there is a small case beside the door of this shop. On the case are thick books like ledgers. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sits behind the case, resting her chin with one hand and Flipping through those booklets casually, it seems that I am bored to pass the time.

The two of them didn't know what the purpose of the girl sitting outside the door was, but since there was such a case outside the door, there must be a reason for it.

Thinking about it, Shui Jing didn't directly trespass, looked down at the girl and said, "Girl..."

"The one who got the goods?" The girl interrupted Shui Jing's question without even raising her eyelids, and continued flipping through the booklet in her hand casually.

Shui Jing said: "No, we..."

"Order?" The girl interrupted again, bowed her head and said to herself, "This month's order is full, I want to place an order and come back next month, so I won't deliver it."

Shui Jing was slightly taken aback, a little helpless and a little funny.

He had heard that "the big shop bullies the customers" in the world, but he had never experienced it himself. Now, from the arrogant look of this girl's indifference to the customers, it can be seen that the business of this shop is really booming.

Shui Jing was about to speak again, but Xie Wuyi gently pulled his sleeve to stop him, lowered his head and whispered to the girl, "Qing Luo."
