Upon hearing this, the little ghost realized that he was left behind by them, and suddenly burst into tears, tears falling down like broken threads.

"It's useless to cry any more. Your grandfather is dead and won't come back again. From now on, just follow me well." Ji Ziyang straightened out the words to him.

"I don't want it, I don't want it...you are bad people, you are lying to me! Grandpa will not die!" The little ghost struggled harder in Man Xiaojue's hands, and cried even more sadly.

"Master, wouldn't it make him more sad to tell him that, the child is still so young." Xiaomu interjected.

"It's because they lost their loved ones at such a young age that they have to be sensible early. If a child without father and mother is still used to being a person who doesn't know the world, that's sad. What will he use to gain a foothold in this world in the future." Ji Ziyang was doing it for his own good. If he had been timid back then, there would be no possibility of climbing to the top later.

Whether in the past or the present, this is a cannibalistic world.

"Ah Wu, take him down, let him give his grandfather a ride, and tell him to see what kind of world he is in." Ji Ziyang ordered, and Ah Wu went out with the child in his arms.

The few people present were very emotional, Man Xiaojue and Ji Ziyang naturally needless to say, Xuehe's father had already gone with the old Zhen Beiwang, his mother had also passed away, and Daxiao, who was a shadow guard, was an orphan.

When Ah Wu brought him back, the kid was listless, his eyes were red, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he didn't say a word. He didn't respond to anyone who talked to him. For a while, the kid didn't know where to go for a walk.

Ji Ziyang ordered people to carry the little ghost into the house, sat in the yard for a while, and then sent Xiaomu out. Only Ah Wu and Ah Liu were left in the yard to accompany him.

"What's going on with Zhang Zhiyuan?"

"Everything is going well, some news channels have been opened up, but it just cost a lot of money." Ah Wu said.

Ji Ziyang nodded, money is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is to get things done: "Let's go, go to Zhang Zhiyuan's place to have a look, I haven't gone to drink tea for a long time."

"Yes, princess."

Ji Ziyang left as soon as he said, and went to the genius doctor's yard before going out, and pestered the old man to draw him a portrait of red glazed flowers. Luo Lao also drew it with the help of that and a little memory, only the general appearance .

But something is better than nothing, knowing a little is probably a little more hope.

The Pinxuan Tea House on South Street was still the same as usual, there were neither too many nor too many guests, and neither was there a lot of eyeballs nor a quiet courtyard.

In the tea house, the shopkeeper is still the old shopkeeper, and the waiter is also the same as the waiter, but seeing Ji Ziyang's arrival is more respectful than before, the situation and people's hearts will quietly change with certain things.

Xiao Er led the people to the private room where he often sat, took out a blueprint from his arms, and said: "Master, this is the layout of the dark room, you look at it first, I will make tea for you. "

Now the shopkeeper and the waiter of the teahouse are already his people.

"Go." Ji Ziyang deliberately showed his face at the window, so that those eyeliners can see it, so that they can stay outside with peace of mind, but people outside the layout of this building will not know.

Ah Wu and Ah Liu also came over.

According to the blueprint, the room directly below the private room on the second floor is the entrance to the dark room. The room is small and hidden, just inside the stairs. In the past, there were only some utensils that were not used in the teahouse. Entrance, just right.

Ah Liu replaced Ji Ziyang and sat here by the window drinking tea, enjoying food and listening, the window was closed with a gauze curtain, people outside could just see his shadow, but couldn't see his face clearly.

Ji Ziyang stepped on a certain piece of ground in the private room according to the instructions on the picture, and an entrance appeared, with a ladder directly leading to the hut directly below.

Arriving at the hut below, the upper entrance just happened to be closed, Ah Wu’s eyes showed a sense of admiration, Zhang Zhiyuan sent someone to send the drawings to the princess for reference when he was going to make revisions here, Ji Ziyang added some of his own ideas by the way, directly from the The private room above will not attract the attention of people drinking tea outside.

This hut has been cleaned, very clean, there is nothing superfluous, only an ink painting on the wall is left, implying that the button for the entrance is behind the ink painting, with a light press, the wall and the wall color are almost integrated The little door opened.

This passage is just enough for two people to pass through.

A small candlestick was pressed every five steps on the walls on both sides of the passage, illuminating the originally dark road. The further Ah Wu walked with Ji Ziyang, the more he admired the princess.

After walking a certain distance, there is a ladder going underground. When you reach the bottom, the place is bigger and the candles are brightly lit.

Both sides of the wall are covered with mahogany shelves, and some scrolls are placed on each of them. A person behind the desk in the middle is working hard to sort it out, and some scattered paper rolls on the ground are also everywhere.

I can't get down a bit, Ah Wu coughed.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked up and saw Ji Ziyang standing up immediately, looking at the mess all over the floor, he smiled awkwardly: "Brother Ziyang."

"How is it organized?" He was already very satisfied with this appearance at the beginning.

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiyuan showed pride, the rows of shelves had been sorted, and there were all kinds of news.

Ji Ziyang followed him around in front of those shelves. These were all marked in detail. State affairs, family affairs, Jianghu affairs were indeed classified into categories, and they were divided into levels according to priority.

The top of the shelf is more important, and the bottom is less important.

"Brother Ziyang, you are looking at this. I have designed several hidden compartments here." Zhang Zhiyuan led him to look at the next wall.

When I pressed my hand on a certain brick in the wall, several rows of hidden grids were revealed.

"Some conspiracy information from other countries can be classified here, which is very safe." After all, the business of collecting and selling information is still very dangerous. Once those secret military information is stolen, you will be killed. Therefore, anyone who endangers himself, Naturally, the more hidden the better.

"Well, it's very thoughtful." Ji Ziyang smiled and patted him on the shoulder to show his satisfaction.

Beside him, a wooden shelf was slightly smaller than the others, and it was also filled with books and scrolls, but nothing was marked.

"what is this?"

"I collected these by the way. They are just some anecdotes and strange records. I don't know if they will be useful in the future." Zhang Zhiyuan explained.

"It's always good to know more," Ji Ziyang nodded, and took out a copy. It described some witchcraft techniques. He had never touched these things before, so he was dubious. I didn't quite understand, so I threw it to Ah Wu who was behind me.

The page that he flipped open happened to record Lovesickness Gu, but he didn't see it, if he could read a few more pages today, maybe he wouldn't have made such a decision.

It's just that everything is unpredictable.

Ji Ziyang took out the painting that the genius doctor had drawn, and handed it to Zhang Zhiyuan: "This is the red glazed flower, please help me find it."

"Yes, I will try my best to find it." Zhang Zhiyuan patted his chest to assure.

Ji Ziyang trusted him, and said: "You must know about Gu Tao. If he can really bring back those contacts, I will let you get involved. News sources from all over the world need channels and manpower. His Those merchants may not be good candidates, and they can expand their business with useful news in the future."

Ji Ziyang spoke out his thoughts, and Ah Wu and Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up immediately.

At that time, they wanted to expand this business. Although they all thought that Wang Hao had a good idea, some contacts could not be obtained. Now, in this way, the combination of the two and mutual benefit can be said to be a win-win situation.

"Okay, good idea!" Zhang Zhiyuan laughed from ear to ear.

Back at the palace, Ji Ziyang called Xuehe, Ah Wu, and Ah Liu to discuss together in the study, and secretly sent the silver earned during this period to the Canglan country military camp.

Although this amount of money is only a drop in the bucket for raising an army, there will only be more money in the future.

After listening to the plans one by one, Xuehe and the other two are completely respectful of Ji Ziyang, they are extremely thoughtful, and they only think about their lords, no matter how many exquisite people in the world, the king and concubine of Zhenbei, they only recognize one person, then It was Ji Ziyang.

It is now, and it will be even more so in the future.

Ji Ziyang pondered for a while, what should be done is done, what is left?After thinking for a while, he said again: "Every time we go, we will store grain and grass along the road for future use. The stronghold of grain and grass must be kept secret."

"But Wangfei, how the prince will march is still undecided, isn't it too early to collect grain and grass at this time?" Ah Wu said.

"Make arrangements early so that there will be no shortage of supply." Xue He agreed with Ji Ziyang's approach.

"Yes, and we must plan one step ahead of the prince. No matter which way he goes, we must store food and grass nearby. In this way, even if the matter of the food and grass is discovered later, the marching route will not be exposed. If the prince wants to change the route , and you don’t have to worry about these trifles.” He had already thought of the benefits of doing so.

"The princess is really thoughtful and thorough!"

After the discussion, they each dispersed. Ji Ziyang sat in the study for a while, unconsciously remembering the scene when Ran Mofeng was drawing pictures for him in the study that day.

His face was reddish, his body became a little hot, and he always felt that the peace Gu he gave him was not so reliable.

After a busy day, when he returned to the yard, he heard a burst of yelling. Man Xiaojue didn't know when he came back, he was full of fat and powder, and he was teasing the little ghost, but unfortunately the little ghost ignored him at all.

"What's your name? Man Xiaojue asked me no less than ten times, but he just kept his head down and didn't answer.

The servant girls saluted Ji Ziyang one after another when they saw Ji Ziyang.

"Master, this child hasn't eaten all day," Xiao Mumu stepped forward and said, "Not only did he not eat, he didn't even drink water."

"If you don't know how to pity yourself, what's the use of others helping you? It's a waste of my thoughts to keep you. If you insist on following your grandfather to that Huangquan Road, I won't stop you."

Standing in front of him, Ji Ziyang reprimanded him. This appearance was exactly the same as his lonely expression after being abandoned. If you don't wake him up, how will you survive in the future.
