I run a newspaper in ancient times

Two months later, in the early morning, Master Yun, who was finally able to leave northern Xinjiang, arrived in the capital full of joy. Since he was "distributed" by Li Li, he never moved his nest again, which really suffocated him.

After entering the city gate, Master Yun looked around.

"Master!" Sure enough, Yunxi, a caring little apprentice, had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time. When he saw him, he greeted him alive and well, and then there was a burst of greetings.

"Good boy." Master Yun patted the little apprentice's head, his face was full of love, but his eyes were looking towards the end of the street.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Master Yun cleared his throat and said, "I haven't been to Beijing for a long time, look what's different from ten years ago."

"But this is the lower capital, haven't you never been here before?" Yunxi wondered.

Master Yun rolled his eyes at him, thinking why he didn't have any eyesight when looking at Ji Ling, and finally he said awkwardly: "Where's your senior brother?"

"At this point, of course I went to court." Yunxi said as a matter of course, and then suddenly said, "You won't wait for the elder brother to pick you up, will you?"

Master Yun: "..." What about the eight sedan chairs that were agreed to be greeted in person?After all, he is the majestic regent's master, so there must be some ostentation, right?

Seeing this deceived expression, Yunxi said with some pity: "Master, you can believe the kind words of the elder brother, he doesn't use a sedan chair when he goes out by himself."

Master Yun has old arms and legs, and suddenly feels very bad. This unfilial apprentice, when he needs him, is full of good words, and if he is cheated, he will turn out the face of a heartless man. Master Yun is a girl full of longing. broke in half.

With an unhappy expression on his face, he pushed the little apprentice away, snorted, and said with a bit of backbone: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Yunxi saw that he was about to shake his sleeves and leave, so he couldn't help apologizing carefully on behalf of his senior brother, "Don't go, senior brother is really busy, you think the second senior brother is fighting with Da Xia now Opening up, the court is all supported by senior brothers, getting up early and greedy at night, eating well and sleeping well, being a high-ranking official is not easy!"

Master Yun looked at Yunxi's sincere face in surprise, and wondered: "Don't you always say that your elder brother bullies others? It doesn't hurt to treat you like a spinning top, so why suddenly keep saying good things for him? "

Of course, I would leave the messy work to your old man earlier!

Hearing this, Yunxi cracked the corners of her mouth, smiled more sincerely, and said innocently, "Have you ever said that?"

Master Yun snorted twice.

Yunxi rolled her eyes, "It must be an occasional small complaint. The elder brother is actually very kind to me. He gave me a house and a sister, and gave me pocket money from time to time. There are also various medicinal materials for me to use. The huge palace, I can go wherever I want, but I'm happy, I should do some work for him. Besides, senior brother is a person who does big things, we have to be considerate of him."

This was a thoughtful and caring heart, he put his arms around Master Yun's arm, and said coquettishly, "You must be hungry, right?"

"That's right, I missed you two along the way, and didn't take a good rest and eat. Listen, it's all an empty plan. If you don't eat any more, you will starve to death!" Master Yun patted his stomach.

Yunxi immediately said guiltily: "Then let's find a better restaurant and cleanse you up!"

Master Yun stared: "What are you doing in the restaurant, you have to pay for it yourself, and go to the rich."

Yunxi asked in surprise: "Which big family? Do you still have acquaintances in the capital?"

Master Yun rolled his eyes at him, poked his forehead and said, "Stupid, is there anyone in this world who is bigger than your elder brother? No matter how good the chef in the restaurant is, how can he compare to the prince's mansion? You have a good eye, and you don't even have a daughter-in-law." Well, money has to be saved up."

Yunxi: "... Oh." It makes sense.

Although Li Li was not there, and did not greet him at the gate of the city in person, it was obvious that he had been ordered.

As soon as Yunxi appeared at the door with a strange old man, the tall vermilion front door studded with floating nails was opened, and the butler lined up neatly on both sides of the door with his guards and servants, shouting in unison and loudly: "Welcome! Master Yun returns home."

Prince Yi's Mansion is the Prince's Mansion with the highest standard. It directly occupies four streets. In front of the gate is a wide street with four horses driving side by side. Usually, there are quite a few people passing by. The sound suddenly came out through the open gate, making people The pedestrians passing by stopped suddenly.

I don't know what kind of important person came to be greeted by the palace with such a high standard. I'm afraid it's just like the empress dowager's visit in person. It's really curious, and what I saw was an old man, whose clothes were quite plain and a little gray flutter.

"This is our prince's master." The guard guarding the gate explained to him.

So it turned out that his eyes were filled with awe, even if Master Yun was dressed in a simple bunt, he seemed to be unfathomable.

Prince Yi's master must be an expert.

While everyone was still watching, a spy from all walks of life who was watching back and forth on this street hurried back to report to the master: Prince Yi's master is here!

The little resentment that Master Yun came along the road disappeared immediately, with one hand behind his back, the other was smiling and stroking his beard that was braided into a dirty little braid, his raised eyebrows were all raised up, his face Showing satisfaction, this ostentation was enough for his vanity to burst, under Yunxi's embarrassed gaze, he raised his hand like a dog: "There is no need to be polite."

Following Li Li into the palace from east to south, the butler was specially entrusted by his master to take good care of the old man, so he went up to greet him respectfully, and while leading the way to the yard, he greeted his master and said, "Master Yun, you have come a long way. Come here, servant Feng Cheng, it’s really hard work. The prince originally planned to go to the city gate to meet him in person, but he has no choice but to have important matters in the palace, and the important tasks in the court cannot be separated from him, so he has to ask Mr. Yun to do it for him, please don’t get angry.”

"Don't be angry, my disciple is a person who does great things and cares about the world, we have to be considerate." Master Yun said with a smile.

Yunxi rubbed his nose: "..." It seems that he said the words.

"Master Yun is really reasonable and reasonable. He really deserves to be the prince's mentor. It's strange that he can teach such an all-round talent in civil and military affairs as Mr. Izumo. He is young and handsome, and the prince respects him very much. He always misses you."

Seeing that Master Yun's eyes could no longer be seen on that face of Master Yun, Yun Xi pretended to be modest and said, "It's easy to say."

"You must be tired and hungry all the way, right?"

Master Yun waved his hand and said politely, "It's okay, okay."

Yunxi: "..." Who will starve to death without eating?

However, the butler said considerately: "Master Yun, the morning food has been prepared. It's a bit simple, but it's all easy to eat. You should pay attention to using it first, wash and change clothes after use, and take a good rest to get rid of fatigue. Yours The courtyard has already been tidied up, everything is ready, and you can live there at any time. When the prince comes back from court at noon, I will clean up the dust for you, what do you think?"

That was nothing more appropriate, Master Yun waved his hand: "You can arrange it."

It was simple to say, but when the breakfast with all kinds of colors was set out, Master Yun almost burst into tears.

"Hey, this prince with real power is different. Back then... tsk tsk."

Thinking about when he was in the palace with Li Li, this kid had to rely on him to take care of him. After he left the cold palace, although his life improved a bit, he was cautious and didn't dare to make it public. He had dealt with everything before. Master Yun even behaved with his tail between his legs, for fear of attracting attention. When has he ever enjoyed the luxurious treatment of a real nobleman?

Look at this breakfast, there are dozens of different patterns, different, really different.

After the servants delivered the meals, they went down one after another thoughtfully, leaving the master and apprentice pair for breakfast.

Yunxi looked at his master's sucking and sucking appearance, and said a little horrible: "You are exaggerating, didn't you eat something good along the way?"

"Your elder brother summoned me, so why would you dare to delay as a teacher? Didn't you come here just after you arranged the things around you?" After finishing speaking, Master Yun entertained Yunxi, "Eat quickly, don't waste it, there are so many, As a teacher, I can eat it all by myself." Then he sighed again, "Oh, it's not good for a prince to be so extravagant and wasteful every day. Along the way, I saw poor people who can't get enough to eat. It's a sin..."

Yunxi disagreed with this.

"It's just today, big brother, I'm showing you a show. If you eat like this every day, you won't be paralyzed. If you are not in a hurry to rest later, I will take you for a stroll. Don't look at the large area of ​​the mansion and the large backyard. They are all empty, and no one has repaired the courtyard for the female relatives, and they probably don’t plan to repair it. It’s just that the people who live here are more particular, and the eldest brother doesn’t waste money, he just lives exquisitely.”

"Hey, you kid learned a lot by his side." Master Yun teased.

Yunxi raised her chest: "Of course, if you can't learn the strategizing of the senior brother, nor can the second senior brother use soldiers like a god, it's okay to catch someone in a hurry. Since you have arrived in Beijing, then the matter of protecting the senior brother I leave it to you, I have to leave for a while."

"where to?"

"Daxia, catch someone named Jiang Zhi." Yunxi didn't hide anything in front of Master Yun, and the latter was stunned when he heard the name. The ins and outs were strung together, and he couldn't help muttering, "It's not easy for these two children. If Zhiyuan knows about it, he might go crazy."

"Probably knew it, the senior brother didn't hide it from him."

Master Yun nodded: "Then you must catch him when you go, and your two senior brothers will be in love with you for the rest of your life."

Yunxi responded obediently: "En."

After Li Li left court at noon, he skipped the yamen and returned to the palace. He was very satisfied to find that the news of Prince Yi's mysterious master going to Beijing was spread all over the streets and alleys.

Li Li and Master Yun had communicated through paper for so many years, and when they reunited after a long absence, neither of them had tears in their eyes, but they were filled with emotion.

After having a sumptuous lunch with them, the three of them drank tea and talked in the gazebo by the lake.

"Master, what is the extent of the investigation over there?"

Master Yun sighed: "The genealogy of the Fan family has been dug up, so we should know about it. I told a few 'old friends' where I am going. In order to avoid them, I had to go to Beijing to join you, the prince's apprentice."

This news was not much different from Li Li's expectations, and it didn't surprise him. He just nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's the trouble? It's what you and Zhiyuan plan to do. It's the time of war. Can Jiang Zhi be found?" Master Yun asked worriedly, "Will I cause trouble for you by coming here like this?"

Li Li glanced at Yunxi as soon as he heard it, and the latter smiled and said, "I, I told Master."

Li Li didn't blame, but said with a faint smile: "Trouble can be avoided, and there is no need to hide. Now that the war has just started, there will be a big battle when winter comes. Daxia can't afford it, and Zuo Xiang can't afford it. They want to win, and we can find people."

He said to Yunxi: "Go away tomorrow and follow their messenger."

Yunxi was taken aback: "Messenger?"

Li Li nodded and said: "Of course, Master's going to Beijing today is a lot of news. Those who are always paying attention must have known about it. Soldiers are precious, so why should I send a message tomorrow? Just follow the vine."

"Then I'll squat on the eaves of Zuo Xiangfu tonight?"

"No, go to Qinghua Building and watch."

"What? Isn't that a brothel?" Yunxi said with wide-eyed eyes.

Li Li nodded, and asked back: "Yes, what's the problem? Since ancient times, brothels have been full of ghosts and ghosts, and there are many spies from all walks of life. Daxia has a stronghold there."

Yunxi blushed immediately, and said coyly, "That's so embarrassing, they're all girls..."

Li Li was puzzled: "What's the matter with you? I didn't ask you to open a room to find a girl to talk about your ideals in life. Why are you dreaming?"

Yunxi: "..." Can you speak?Yunxi glared at her senior brother resentfully.

Master Yun sneered and rubbed the little apprentice's head, and asked, "Could it be the oiran? Does it look good? Is Yunxi at a disadvantage?"

Li Li nodded: "That must be pretty, the fantasy object of many men's spring dreams. But our goal is not her, but the second girl named Qingqing, she is the head of the meticulous work, you just go and stare at her, Whoever she meets and whoever leaves Qinghua Building, you follow."

Master Yun was a little puzzled when he heard this: "A Li, do you think someone like Yunxi can track all the way to Daxia without being discovered?"

It's not that he buried his apprentice, but as a spy, the most important skill is anti-tracking. It's hard for a martial arts master to be followed easily.

Yunxi nodded heavily: "Senior brother, I'm likely to lose track and miss a big deal."

Li Li served a sip of tea leisurely, and when he saw this dazed-headed green, he smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't count on you, so I just made a fool of yourself. This is a spy that Daxia put on the surface, and he has a lot of love for my story." It’s used to set up a maze, if you get lost, or even get fake news, they can rest assured, but leave you alone, you should go to Daxia immediately.”

"clear."
