Returning to the Clouds

After the spring planting, the martial arts imperial examination began.The seven years of Yongjia, but I don't know how many people's hearts are full of haze.

In the middle of winter, Jiang Pan secretly brought Gui Yun to Beijing again.

Gui Yun always thought that Jiang Pan was some kind of powerful official, but actually Jiang Pan was just an idle official at home.But the Jiang family's roots are huge, and the Jiang family's children outside are all outstanding people, so the family naturally has no possibility of decline.

In particular, the Jiang family has always been the emperor's people, and they are also the emperor's pocketbook, so naturally they have never been underestimated.

Different from the business-friendly policy of the previous dynasty, the founding monarch of the Great Rong Dynasty was a wealthy merchant in the martial arts world.Unlike ordinary emperors who wantonly changed their previous experience after they came to power, Tai/Zu did it with a clear conscience.And everything he has done has successfully changed the world's outlook on being a businessman.

Da Rong is a truly "prosperous" dynasty, whether it is military force, financial resources or culture, it is unprecedentedly prosperous.When Ming Shiyue reigned, all nations had already come to court.The weather of a big country can be seen.

Naturally, the Jiang family is not just a businessman, otherwise Jiang Pan would occasionally act as if he didn't care about anything.

Jiang Pan and Gui Yun went to Beijing, but this was done in secret.On the surface, the two of them went south to enjoy the scenery.

Gui Yun asked the reason many times along the way, but was perfunctory.All he could know was who Jiang Pan wanted him to meet.

The road to Beijing has never been smooth. Even though Jiang Pan's arrangements were thorough enough, it is still unknown when his whereabouts were revealed.Along the way, Jiang Pan and Gui Yun experienced several assassinations, and they narrowly escaped them all.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Pan smiled and tore off the hard steamed buns and chewed them in his mouth.

Already in the outskirts of the capital, this night can only be done like this.They have thrown off the last pursuit and entered his territory, so they don't need to be more cautious.Therefore, the riverside can also light a fire and have a warm meal.

The steamed buns that were baked just now tasted really good. Jiang Pan had the most satisfying meal since going to Beijing.Although in the past, he would not even glance at such food.

Gui Yun felt a little cold. He looked at the river, hesitated a few times, and said, "I'm not afraid. But sir, why are we leaving like this?"

In Jiangpan's pride, why did they leave like this?Why did they want to enter the capital?Obviously, Jiang Pan said very early on that the martial arts exam will start, and the power change will inevitably lead to chaos, so why did they take the risk of entering Beijing now?

"Some things, if you make a promise, you must keep it. I, Jiang Pan, promise a thousand gold." Jiang Pan remembered the promise he made to Ming Shiyue back then, and now it's time to fulfill it.

Gui Yun knew that Jiang Pan was changing the subject again, but he couldn't ask a second time after asking once.Just hugging Xiruan tightly, this is the proof that they walked in front of the public after entering Beijing.But at present, it seems that Jiangpan has no plans to use it.

Jiang Pan has a title, but he has no real job.Gui Yun knew that he was a great talent, why did he do this, but he could only think that it was Jiang Pan's request.Deeper, he can't guess at all.

It's like he never thought that Jiang Pan would take him to Beijing with him in such a mess.

It's because he has never participated in Jiang Pan's past...so he knows nothing, and he doesn't know how to protect Jiang Pan at all.

When it was just dawn, Jiang Pan hurriedly took Gui Yun and followed the crowd into the capital.Immediately after, the riverside took Guiyun into an inn without stopping, burned incense and smoked clothes, took a bath and changed clothes, and after everything was taken care of, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he only threw down a tael of silver, and walked through the street with Guiyun In the alley, Gui Yun was so dizzy that he went into a different courtyard.

The yard seemed to have been vacant for many years. In the corner of the yard, there was a huge pagoda tree, and the fallen leaves on the ground were piled up layer by layer.

However, there are people here.

Gui Yun was caught off guard by a few tall men in front of the door who blocked him. He could only watch as Jiang Pan used his jade token to the group of people and walked into the door smoothly. That comforting smile and quieted down.

"Ahem, you're finally here." The man leaning against the corner of the table seemed to have been ill for a long time, his face was like gold paper, but his cheeks were stained red because of the cough.

Jiang Pan saw that his phoenix eyes were still sharp, but his body had collapsed, and he felt disappointed, and said, "I'm here, but you lost your bet. These years, you are not as smart as you said."

"That's right, you're right...cough cough..." The man seemed to be very tired, and he closed his eyes slightly, "Come closer to me, I'm tired."

When Jiang Pan walked in, the man smelled the smell of low-quality incense on his body, and shook his head slightly, without guessing, he knew how hard the journey was.

Jiang Pan didn't say much, and the man had already handed him a piece of jade: "From now on, Sheng'er will be handed over to you. I have already dealt with all the people who have met you, so I can leave here with peace of mind."

"Do you know..." Jiang Pan squeezed the square jade buckle in his hand. This custom-made little jade buckle was made according to his son's preference, and it was a status symbol.And he couldn't imagine how bloody it would be if the man said it lightly.

The man knew what he was going to say, so he only said: "Some people's sacrifices can only bear infamy in the end. He is already the best by your side... cough cough... I can't do more .You go first, I'm leaving too."

Jiang Pan put away the jade buckle, gave the man a dagger, turned and left.

The man looked at the dagger in his hand, still depressed in his heart.

There are some things that cannot be done cleanly.He would not choose such a method to seek completeness.

In the eighth year of Yongjia, in spring, Great Rong Shizu Ming Shiyue collapsed.

The author has something to say:

Well, Jiang Pan is the Emperor's man, that's right.

As for Gui Yun's identity, let's guess
