On the tiger table incense case, the royal gift of ambergris was offered early, and a cloud of dark fragrant smoke lingered in the huge hall.The main gate of Tsukiji was already opened, and several beautiful servants led the round envoy off his horse and walked forward.Outside the door of the main hall, a handsome man dressed in a cloud-white python-pattern robe stood respectfully by the door with his hands tied.

"His Royal Highness, you are safe here." The envoy smiled and cupped his hands at the man before he entered the door: "Your Highness looks the same as ten years ago and is still as handsome and heroic as before."

"Wang Shilang and this king have been separated for more than ten years, so there are naturally some changes." Prince Gong welcomed him in, and said loudly: "The journey of the official is hard, why don't you take a rest first?"

The fat envoy was obviously a little moved, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Your Highness should accept the order first, it will delay His Majesty's affairs, even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to lose."

Prince Gong took a look at the heavy wooden box in his hand, it contained the emperor's will, the authority to obey no matter what.He was only in a daze for a moment, and then agreed: "Don't embarrass Wang Shilang, let's declare the decree."

After finishing speaking, the man lifted his robe and knelt down, and the attendants behind him also knelt down quickly.

Just listen to the middle-aged man singing loudly:

"When the sky is in order, I am ordered by you. The emperor's edict said: Gong Wangwei's calm filial piety can touch the world, sincerity, obedience and aspirations. He is specially bestowed with a hundred miles of northern land and a thousand taels of gold. This is my honor."

In this way, almost all of the northern lands, from Xiazhou in the east to Luoshena in the west, fell into his pocket. Wei calmly showed an inexplicable smile on his drooping face.

"His Royal Highness, accept the order." The envoy presented the bright yellow silk jade scroll in his hand, and said enviously: "Your Majesty is the first to receive such a generous reward from His Majesty."

Wei took the imperial decree calmly and respectfully, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Such an imperial decree that seemed to make his brothers jealous, the murderous intent hidden behind it should not be underestimated either.

"Wang Shilang is tired from traveling and traveling. Let's take a rest for one night today. The desert scenery is magnificent and magnificent. I don't think Mr. Shilang has seen it before in Shangjing. Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you and go to watch it with you." Wei calmly handed over the imperial edict The attendant behind him led the envoy to the depths of Tsukiji.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the sweat on the forehead of the short and fat man, and his expression was a little strange, so he became suspicious.

When he reached the secret place, Prince Gong suddenly pushed back the attendants around him, and said in a soft voice: "Wang Shilang might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Ah! Your Highness Prince Gong..." The envoy was startled by his sudden words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty really has something to say, it's the Holy Majesty's oral order."

"Wang Shilang is so courageous, he dared to hide even his oral instructions." The man raised the corners of his lips and said jokingly: "Since there is no one else here, this king will not pursue it for the time being."

"That's right, that's right, Your Highness has a lot of them. I'll just say it, I'll say it." The short and fat man wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and while peeking at Prince Gong's expression, he said cautiously: "The order of the Holy One I'm telling you, if you can't find what he wants within half a month, then...just sit in the crown prince's place!"

After speaking, the envoy hurriedly took a few steps to the side, fearing that His Royal Highness Prince Gong, who was in a moody mood, would be furious and affect himself.

The air was silent, the short and fat envoy raised his head tremblingly and glanced at the handsome man in front of him, only to see a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and he felt bad in his heart.

His Royal Highness Prince Gong seems to be angry...

"Your Majesty actually said that?" The man rubbed his clean chin, and said playfully, "Couldn't Wang Shilang be bluffing me?"

What the short and fat man said was heartbreaking. Hearing this, the short and fat man was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground: "Your Highness has learned from you, this official is strict, just, self-denying, and has served His Majesty for more than [-] years. Don’t dare to have any dissenting intentions! Your Majesty has recorded every word and every word of his words, so how dare this humble minister speak nonsense and pretend to convey the holy meaning?”

The smile on Wei Congrong's face remained unchanged. After seeing the short and fat man was scared out of his wits, he showed kindness and said: "My lord, the sun and the moon can learn from the world, and the world can show you. This king is just asking casually. Don't panic. It's just that , I don’t understand what this oracle really means?”

"This..." The man's expression was very sincere, as if he completely trusted the official in front of him.The envoy didn't doubt him, looked around and said in a low voice: "I don't know very well, I only know that the dragon is not in good health recently. I urgently need some kind of elixir."

"Oh, I will definitely do my best to find the elixir for my father," the handsome man said loudly, and then his voice was inaudible, and he said with a sigh: "I only hope that he can live until then."

"What did Your Highness say?" The envoy walked a few steps ahead, so he didn't hear the second half of his words clearly.

"No, it's nothing." Prince Gong said with a smile, "The servant can rest here."

"Yes, I thank Your Highness for your kindness." Although the envoy felt a little suspicious, he still entered the room after saluting.

The tall and handsome man looked at the closed door and remained silent.He only stood there for a moment before turning around and leaving. In the quiet night, only the sound of the man's own breathing was particularly noticeable.

At some point behind him, several men in gray clothes jumped down, closely following the man's footsteps all the way.

"Is there any news about the mother pearl?" Wei Congrong asked casually as he walked forward.

"Reporting to the master, the mother pearl has been confirmed to be in a small town a few miles away from Ajiye." A man wearing a mask respectfully reported, he paused and added: "But before the detailed location was found, the spies lost There was no trace, he might have been killed."

"Since it's been discovered, let's kill it if you kill it." The man walked into the hall, turned around and sat on the chair, and asked calmly, "You lost the mother pearl too?"

"Yes." Although the tall man didn't show any dissatisfaction, the man in gray shuddered and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "This subordinate is incompetent."

"Forget it, since we have found his trace, there is no need to procrastinate any longer." Wei calmly blew on the tea foam floating on the surface, and said indifferently: "It is always a weight, and it is safe to hold it in your hand first. "

"Master, there is also a piece of news from people in the palace, which has not yet been verified." The gray-clothed man took out a small oil-paper bag from the bamboo tube in his sleeve, and after reporting the most important news, it was his turn. This kind of thing that has not been verified to be true or false, but it is also extremely important.

"Huh?" Wei Congrong answered casually, holding a tea bowl in one hand and lazily flipping through the book in his hand with the other.

"It is rumored that the crown prince has left the palace to go to the desert." The gray-clothed man read the message on the oiled paper rigidly: "The purpose is the mother pearl, and the East Palace is under martial law."

The tea bowl was placed on the porcelain plate on the table, and the crisp sound of collision broke the silence in the huge room.

Wei Congrong raised his eyes, glanced at the subordinates in front of him, sneered and said with a sneer: "Huh? He was decisive, and he just gave up the arrangement of the court for many years. This king remembers that the father gave the crown prince the end of last month. It’s a good job to send a salt inspector.”

"Returning to the master, His Highness the Crown Prince entrusted his errand to His Highness Fifth." The man in gray obviously had a detailed understanding, and analyzed: "It seems that the news that His Highness the Crown Prince went to the desert is very likely to be true."

"Not necessarily." The man on the high seat pondered for a moment, thought of something, and said with a smirk: "I have a close relationship with Congzheng, my brother is here as a guest, how can I not give him some entertainment?"

The men in gray clothes below were a little restless when they heard the words. They naturally understood what the man meant, and they were afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would never return.

The person who reported the news just now hesitated for a while, and persuaded: "Your Highness, it's better not to make things too extreme."

"Forget it, I have my own decision in my heart." The man waved his hand: "Let's pass on the order and hunt down Wen Shuqiu with all our strength. It doesn't matter whether a person lives or dies. You must bring back all the pearls."

"Yes."

It was just a simple command, and the killers in the ghost face would risk their lives for this command. At this time, Wen Shuqiu didn't know what kind of bad luck he was about to face. Packed up the bag and started on the road again.There is still a long way to go to Ajiye, only the sooner he gets that notebook, can he feel at ease.

"Brother, are you leaving?" The little boy held the door frame and raised his face to look at the thin and gentle young man in front of him.

Wen Shuqiu bent down, stroked the boy's half-length hair, and said with a smile, "Yes, I still have things to do."

"Can you take me with you?" The child held back for a long time, then said blushingly, "The boss doesn't treat me well at all. He always makes me work and doesn't give me food."

The shopkeeper who was settling accounts in front of the cabinet jumped angrily and cursed: "You are talking nonsense! When will I miss you?!"

"Look at him, he's still pissing me off!" the child said aggrievedly, his eyes quickly filled with steam: "Brother, can I walk with you?"

The young man froze for a moment, then smiled more gently: "No way."

"Why?" the child asked puzzled.

"Because Qianwen doesn't really want to leave." The young man nodded the child's thin and thin chest: "Brother can hear what the child is saying in his heart. What Qianwen said clearly here is that he wants to stay and take care of the shopkeeper. .”

"You little heartless one, I shouldn't have pitied you and adopted you." The shopkeeper scolded, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Sir, let's take this monkey away and let him stay here. I'm afraid my inn will be torn down in three days."

The little boy stared blankly at the white hand, lowered his head and didn't know what to say.

"I know why you want to go with me." The young man shook his head and whispered, "Do you want to find that person?"

The child nodded silently.

"However," the young man withdrew the gentleness between his brows, and said solemnly with some pity: "When you look at the mountains and rivers, you should feel pity for the people in front of you."

The old shopkeeper of the inn is no longer young. Although he often quarrels with children, young people can also hear his weakness from his sluggish back voice.Qianwen was still young, and the old shopkeeper didn't want him to stay in the inn for the rest of his life, so he drove him out vigorously.In fact, the child also knows in his heart that the old man is good, but he refuses to give in.

Thinking of this, the smile as soft as the warm spring breeze climbed up the corner of the young man's lips again, and he rubbed the child's hair heavily: "A man, what's the point of crying and crying? The people in front of you are the ones behind you!"

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Old Yan [jokingly]: Oh——a man, what do you mean by crying, right Qiuqiu?

Qiuqiu: Shut up!
