[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

"Knock knock."

I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at the door, "Excuse me?"

"I am Kui Huangyi."

"Please wait a moment." I stood up and put away the paperwork on the table, covering all the important documents, and then walked over to open the door, "Sorry for the long wait."

Kui Huangyi glanced at me and crossed his arms, "You know how to pack things, but don't you know how to pack yourself?"

Is there anything wrong with not dressing up? "It's night now, and it's always a headache when you put your hair up." I moved in sideways, "Try to put on makeup once, and you should know how painful it is to put on makeup every day."

"Don't complain when you're lazy."

I complained indiscriminately?I closed the door and looked at him angrily, "Master Kui, do you want me to put on makeup for you right now?" I imagined how Kui Huangyi would look like putting on makeup, and burst out laughing.

He lifted his robe, stepped on the floor, and sat down on the edge of the tea table, "Has your brain finally become completely useless?"

"Yes, you can just say whatever you want." I went to make tea for the guests.After I brewed it slowly, I offered him a cup, and I also held a cup for myself, sitting on the other side of the coffee table, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I will enter the border of the Blue State tomorrow, I want you to cover me."

really.How could Kui Huangyi have no purpose in coming to my company?I smiled and said, "Master Kui, did you cause trouble in Lanzhou?"

"No, I just don't want to be known that I went back to the Blue State."

"Investigate first, then visit secretly?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Then I don't care." I don't want to be used stupidly, and I don't want to contribute unless I say what it is.

Kui Huangyi raised his cup and glanced at me, "Do you really want to listen?"

"Don't scare me," I laughed, put the hot teacup on the tea table, turned sideways to face Kui Huangyi, "If you really can't tell me, you won't tell me. "

He also put down the teacup and looked at me slightly sideways, "I can say a part, but I don't think this is what you want to hear."

"Just pretend you haven't heard it before." You have to figure things out.

He glanced at me expressionlessly, "Idiot, why are you laughing when you say this?"

"Hey?" Hey, I'm not the type to smirk, "It's just that I'm in a good mood today." I couldn't help laughing out loud, "Do you want everyone to be like you? Sneer? Stern? Or just use Staring? Sure enough, the troubled expression is the funniest."

When Kui Huangyi heard this, he stared at me coldly, "If you are bold, you don't know if you will be good at it."

I shrugged my shoulders and said with a smile, "Ministers don't dare."

He stared at me for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

I covered my mouth and laughed, "Hahahaha~ Sure enough, the troubled expression is the funniest."

"Forget it!" He turned his face away, "I went to Lanzhou just to check things, I didn't think I would make trouble now, and it wouldn't involve you. I will cover up my identity, so you are satisfied?"

"I didn't say no to help."

"Put that up for me. Difficult guy."

"Yes, I accept Aoi-sama's compliment without hesitation."

"Who praised you? Your face has also grown?"

"Yes, I don't know if I can have the cheek to ask Aoi-sama to tell me again, what do you want to find out?" The room fell silent, we looked at each other, the candles on the table swayed in the night wind, shaking our eyes. The shadow is also swaying.I turned my eyes away first, "Master Aoi, I think you already know my personality very well. I don't have any curiosity, but I just want a safe environment." If you don't want to hear it, you can pretend that you don't know it, but I should grasp it well. Otherwise, if the situation is imminent, but the eyes are darkened, that would be really bad.It's useless to always hide in the turtle shell to cover your ears and steal the bell.

"Then you shouldn't have stepped into this world in the first place." He said coldly.

"But what should I do?" I straightened my sleeves and smiled, "I've already stepped in."

After a while of silence, he suddenly said, "Have you thought about stepping down?"

what did he say?I looked up at him in astonishment.

"Let's just say it casually," he stood up, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, "it's not up to you to choose. I went to check on the Lan family. Since you are interested in developing in Lanzhou, it's just right."

"Should I say that I'm not surprised that you are eyeing the Caiqi family? The upstart of the aristocracy, Aoi-sama." I sighed, "Why do you always choose the most dangerous path?"

"It seems that you have another source of news in the court." Kui Huangyi turned around and looked at me.

"It would be terrible if the information is blocked." Even if I didn't come from time travel, I would have my own way to find out about the dispute between the aristocratic faction and the National Examination faction.

He sneered, "You know the situation so well, then you should know why I chose them. The Caiqi family is powerful, and they always rely on their privileges to ignore the laws and regulations. Even the imperial court needs to care about them. The local power must be taken back, so that the imperial court can Do more."

"That shouldn't be too hasty. Looking at it now, to be honest, I don't think the imperial court can do more than the local nobles at all. The tea house is indeed miserable, but hasn't it also produced an outstanding leader? Others You can’t deny that Caiqi’s family has cultivated a lot of talents. As a nobleman, you should also be very clear that compared with ordinary people who may not be able to recognize many words, you have learned from good officials, and you have been influenced by your ears and eyes since childhood. There are too many advantages. Before you clear the Caiqi family, should you think about who will take their place? The consequences of a power vacuum can be as chaotic as you can imagine.”

"You mean it won't work without Caishichi's family?"

"From what I'm seeing now," I looked him in the eye, "I'm sure I'm right."

We looked at each other again for a while, and the first person to turn his eyes away was Kui Huangyi.He folded his arms and leaned his back against the window frame.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." He lowered his voice.

I sighed lightly, I was indeed a little worried about him.Different from state shepherds, high-ranking officials in the capital, and nobles, the Lan family, as the head of the nation's nobles, is so powerful that it cannot be shaken by one person, a moment, or even a generation.

"I won't get involved in this game," I said.

"I know."

"Then why are you encouraging me to develop towards the blue state?"

He didn't answer.

"Master Aoi, people are not pawns. They have legs, so they will escape."

"I won't make things difficult for you."

I couldn't help but say to him, "Anyone who believes in you is an idiot." Obviously, he came to me just now to cover for him.Zheng Youshun dragged me into the tea house, Kui Huangyi also seemed to have a bad stomach, and all the officials were rotten people who were full of lies.

"Are you scared?"

"The scariest thing in the world is not knowing how to be afraid."

He paused, walked over, paused again, then stretched out a hand to press my shoulder, with a little force, "I have a sense of proportion."

I smiled wryly, "Is a neurotic like you called measured?" In fact, I can trust Kui Huangyi's wrist.

"I stole the title of madman, so what's your name?"

I raised my head and glared at him.

"Knock knock! Miss, it's me, Licorice."

Kui Huangyi withdrew his hand, and I raised my voice, "What's wrong?"

"Sorry for bothering Miss, but it's getting dark now, I want to ask if you want to settle down?"

"No, not yet." I didn't feel sleepy yet, "You and the others go to bed first, don't wait for me. You have to continue on the road tomorrow morning, you guys have a good rest."

"Yes, shall I make the bed for Miss first?"

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Licorice pushed the door open and entered, then looked at Kui Huangyi standing beside me in astonishment.She suppressed her words and went to make the bed with a look of dissatisfaction.I smiled secretly to see how long the licorice could last.Kui Huangyi sat down, glanced at me, and said nothing.

"Miss," Licorice turned around and walked over, bowing to me, "I'm going down now, please rest early."

Can you bear it?I smiled and nodded to her, "Okay, thanks for your hard work."

Licorice Xiangkui Huangyi also blessed his body, when he was about to get up and leave, he finally couldn't help it, and said with a dark face: "Master Kui, please go back and rest early."

"Hmm." He just hummed.

Licorice's face tended to be ferocious, "Really? It's hard to travel at night, why don't I turn on the light first and send Aoi-sama back?"

"No need."

Her face finally turned into that of a dominatrix, "Aoi-sama, you must have been negligent when you were away from home. It doesn't seem very good to be seen in and out of Miss's room."

"yes."

Licorice was driven mad by the succinct Kui Huang Yi.I covered my mouth with one hand and my belly with the other, laughing and falling to one side.

"Miss." Licorice pursed her lips and looked at me.

"...Hahaha...Okay, Licorice," I straightened up and said with a smile, "Master Aoi and I are old acquaintances, so don't worry about details."

"...Yes, Licorice is overstepping." Saying so, Licorice still gave Kui Huangyi a dark look before turning around and leaving the room door wide open.

"Hahahaha..." I couldn't help laughing.Dare to show Kui Huangyi's face, Licorice, you girl has a future!

"It looks normal, but the result is always like this." Kui Huangyi whispered angrily, "Idiot, is there a maid like you?"

"It's none of my business at all!" I waved my hands in denial, "I don't deny that I like their tempers very much, but it's what they grew up on their own. I'm not such an evil person in the F/E Department!"

"..." Kui Huangyi was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Go to a brothel?"

"... Not much, I have to discuss business." It is true that there is no shortage.But it has nothing to do with me being able to "tune/teach" such things.Really, three-dimensional people should understand what I'm talking about.

He let out a breath, "Don't you want to sleep?" Seeing me nodding, he stood up, "Let's go play a game of chess."

"Hmm. Hey...how did you go outside?"

Kui Huangyi said sullenly, "Go outside. Go and bring an extra coat."

I laughed again.Ah, it's really not easy to make him notice that he can't walk into my room casually. "I said," I took out a wooden folding chessboard, and Kui Huangyi reached out to take it, "Is it a little late to notice now?"

"It's not that you and your maid are messing around, is there any need for this?"

The next day, our group finally walked into the boundary of Lanzhou.Stopping and stopping, I visited various shops, and Kui Huangyi disappeared from time to time to go about his own business.

On this day, Kui Huangyi disappeared again. Liu Jiahe, who was in charge of the Zhang family's documents, and I listened to the reports from his subordinates, and he asked me to consider letting the Zhang family develop without Kui Huangyi.

I pondered for a while, then nodded, "Actually, I also feel that it is inappropriate to cooperate with Mr. Kui. Such a character is really not suitable for us." Kui Huangyi's actions have become more and more sophisticated, but his bold style has never changed.The risk of what he does is too high, and if he misses one day, the consequences will be disastrous.It's just... "However, he seems to be dangerous in doing things, but there is still a sense of propriety, we'll wait and see." It doesn't hurt to continue working together for a while.

"Yes, miss, I understand."

We moved on to discuss other matters.

Along the way from Chazhou to Lanzhou, just by looking at the people in the market, you can clearly distinguish the degree of development of the two places.The closer it is to the capital of the Blue State, the more prosperous the economy will be, and the people will become even more elegant.

"Compared to Guiyang, the people of Lanzhou are more like the people under the foot of the emperor." Walking casually on the streets of Lanzhou, I sighed to Kui Huangyi next to me.

He rarely said a good word for Guiyang, "Guiyang is a place that military strategists must contend for. It has been devastated by wars in the past dynasties, and it is different from Lanzhou, which is in a peaceful corner."

In Caiyun Kingdom, Guiyang, blessed by the Eight Immortals of Caiyun, is really a special existence. "Speaking of which, Master Aoi, do you believe that there are really Eight Immortals guarding Guiyang?"

He glanced at me, hands behind his back, "It is impossible to deny the existence of miracles, but I don't believe it."

"Don't deny it but don't believe it?" I thought about it and understood.Also, whether the Eight Immortals really exist or not has nothing to do with us.Just thinking about the Eight Immortals, they will not perform miracles to help us.What's more, Zixian seems to be that nasty Grand Master Xiao from Guiyang... I laughed out loud.

"how?"

"It's nothing," I smiled and waved my hands, "I just think that if there really are Eight Immortals, they must have pretty bad personalities." Fate always plays tricks on people.

"Whether you want to break your bad head or not," Kui Huangyi led me into a jewelry store, took a glance inside, picked up a pearl hairpin, and inserted it into my head precisely. on his head, "Clean up yourself before we talk."

"Madam, your relationship is not only good, but your husband's eyesight is also really good!" The clerk walked over with a smile on his face, "Look, this is the best blue state pearl." He tried his best to sell it to us with.

I took a look at the bronze mirror in the store, and I have to say that Kui Huangyi's taste is really good.I'm not gorgeous enough, I can't wear too eye-catching colors, and the off-white pearls with low-key brilliance suit me just right.

Having said that, he was too skillful in the gesture of giving the hairpin to the woman... I turned my head to look at him maliciously, Kui Huangyi didn't even give me a corner of my eye, paid the shopkeeper and left straight away.Seeing that the hairpin was on just right, I didn't take it off, turned around and followed his footsteps.I looked sideways at him.I don't know if he will be angry if I make fun of his personal affairs?

"Just say whatever you want," he said coldly.

I couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Master Kui, the second floor of Chong in Lanzhou, do you want me to invite you?" Of course, the second floor of Chong is the largest brothel in Lanzhou.I remember that he used to win even the oiran of Heizhou.

Kui Huangyi's expression remained unchanged, but his men grabbed one side of my cheek, "Shut up."

...Sure enough, having fun for a while is not a good idea.I slapped his hand away and gave him a look, he turned his hand and slid down the silver hairpin on my head.

"Too Su."

"Do you want gold?" I couldn't laugh or cry.Is it necessary for him to always care about my clothes?I think it's good that I don't always wear gold hairpins like before, but he even comes to bury my taste in ordinary after-dinner strolls.

He glanced at me, "Aren't you angry?" He put his hands behind his back, "That open-mouthed clerk."

"It's true. If others say no, it won't become no." It's not true, and it won't become true after all.

"It's terrible to say."

"Why do you care about gossip and gossip? Rumors stop at the wise." I stretched out a finger and said with a smile.

He squinted at me, "Three people make a tiger, and a tiger can hurt people."

I said, "Then it would be good to be the one who controls the tiger?"

"You're the one being bitten now, idiot."

I smiled and shook my head, chatting nonsense with him, and walking side by side to a scenic spot here.

After more than half a month, we finally came to the state capital of Lanzhou, the beautiful water capital, Yulong City.

For several days in a row, I went to visit the Lanzhou All-Commerce Federation here, but no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. If we want to talk about the Chazhou Special Economic Zone, I am afraid it will take some time.That day, when I was returning to Zhangfu with a headache, I suddenly saw Kui Huangyi hiding in my room covered in blood.

I looked at him and opened my mouth, but no words came out.
