Chapter 81: Since Zhang is such a poor guy, let’s raise pigs!
Chapter 81 If you are so unskilled, go home and raise pigs!
On the image.
The man in the bamboo hat swung his sword as fast as lightning, and each blow hit Luo Qing's non-vital parts.
Every knife strike contained a violent rage.
The elders had different perspectives. Although none of them saw the face of the man in the bamboo hat, they all remembered his sword skills.
After watching.
Bai Yuji closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a long time.
She finally opened her eyes and came to a firm conclusion: "It's the Feng family's Piaoye Knife in Lingnan, but this man's sword is not as free and easy as the Piaoye Knife. Instead, it contains endless anger. What kind of grudge does he have with Luo Qing?"
Everyone looked at each other.
He Xifeng whispered, "This person once tried to protect Qin Yanying and even wanted to take the blame for Qin Yanying. He must be someone familiar with the Qin family."
"He has a relationship with the Qin family, there is no doubt about that."
Bai Yuji looked solemn: "But I can be sure that Qin Yanying definitely doesn't know this person. From the perspective of the Qin family, we can't analyze this person's origins."
He Xifeng lowered her eyelids and said nothing more.
In fact, from the very beginning, she could feel that Bai Yuji did not want to direct this hatred towards the Qin family.
And the reason is very sufficient. The Qin family itself is a aunt and nephew held hostage in Beijing, and there is no master accompanying them at all. The existence of this person is unreasonable.
The man in the bamboo hat was following Qin Yanying less than half a mile at the time, and he rushed over immediately after the accident.
Rather than being a friend of the Qin family, it would be more accurate to say that he was someone who was following and monitoring Qin Yanying.
Of course, it should be benign surveillance.
Bai Yuji thought for a long time and continued, "The Feng family's Falling Leaf Knife is famous for its fast blade skills, but because the supporting skills are not strong and the lethality is not great, there has never been a master rising up, and the entire family can only hide in Lingnan.
This man in the bamboo hat has a cultivation level of at least the fourth rank, but there are only five people in the Feng family who can reach this level, and they all hold important positions in the family. So this person cannot be a member of the Feng family, and he just uses the Falling Leaf Blade as a supplement to his sword skills.
When killing Luo Qing, it was firstly to conceal his identity and secondly to vent his anger, so the moves he used were the Falling Leaf Knife, but not the Falling Leaf Knife's techniques.
However, the Falling Leaf Blade is the Feng family's inherited sword technique after all, and it is not easily passed on to others. At most, one or two moves will only be used to exchange with good friends.
The only ones who can fully use the sword technique are the Feng family and..."
"Who?"
"Who?"
"Who?"
everyone asked in unison.
Bai Yuji's face was somewhat gloomy, and he slowly gave the answer: "Gongshu's puppet!"
Everyone: "..."
Bai Yuji exhaled lightly: "During the days in Zhennan Prefecture, I have inquired about a lot of information about the officialdom. I heard that there is only one person in the Feng family who is an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry. He does not usually mingle in the officialdom and often goes to Gongshu's house to discuss Taoism with his friends."
"This……"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. If that was the case, then the man in the bamboo hat could only be a puppet endowed with spirits by Gongshu Jia.
Can……
How can a puppet look like a real person?
wait wait wait!
The second elder squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The puppet in the Princess's mansion..."
"There is no one else except him."
Bai Yuji let out a long breath: "I have seen Qin Muye's puppet. If you put your mind into it, you can use it as a second body. The one who controls the puppet to kill people may not be the puppet master himself.
But the puppet that killed people must have been made after he went to Gongshu Mansion. I heard that the puppet maker was discussing Taoism with Gongshu Xia during this period, so there should be no puppets for sale.
I don't know why he wanted to attack Luo Qing, but I can be sure that he either wanted to do it himself or was instructed by the princess to do it."
Everyone was silent.
Both statements are possible.
Luo Qing has visited many puppeteers, and it is hard to say who he has any grudges against, so it is normal for him to fight.
Li Xingluo has shown considerable goodwill towards the Qin family in recent days. The attitudes of both sides towards the evil official are enough to explain everything, so it is reasonable to help Qin Yanying.
Suddenly such a huge enemy appeared.
Everyone present was at a loss as to what to do.
He Xifeng was silent for a while, and then advised: "Princess! We are in Kyoto, mainly to seek the welfare of Nanzhao. I know that you grew up with Luo Qing, but the power of the princess is quite large. If you rashly provoke her... please consider the overall situation!"
The other elders looked at each other and said nothing.
They were also very angry about Luo Qing's murder.
But if revenge for Luo Qing would offend the princess, then they would have to consider it.
The profit is zero.
The price is too high.
But they didn't dare to say anything. Although Bai Yuji had always been very restrained in this matter, Luo Qing was indeed one of the few Nanzhao survivors who grew up with Bai Yuji.
Bai Yuji was silent for a long time, then he exhaled softly: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Xu Yuyao didn't expect that a remembrance Gu would bring up so many things.
She gave this thing to Bai Yuji just to bring them closer.
Fortunately, Bai Yuji is rational enough. Provoking the princess at this stage will not benefit anyone.
She whispered: "Yuji, you..."
"I'm fine!"
"It's okay!"
"Big sister! Thank you for the gift."
Bai Yuji put away the Memory Gu and said with a smile, "It's so late, you should go back and rest! Also, if you want to find me in the future, just use the Gu to send a message. After all, our Nanzhao has been destroyed. If you are caught in the territory of Qian, you will be treated as a traitor. Don't let you get implicated."
"Okay!" Xu Yuyao seemed to be thinking about something, but she quickly covered it up with a smile: "I also wanted to give you the gift quickly, but I saw that you and Qin Muye were shopping, so I found Elder He. Yuji, don't blame her."
Bai Yuji smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about this, just have a good rest!"
"Ok!"
Xu Yuyao nodded and quickly disappeared into the formation.
Inside the secret room, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Bai Yuji stared at He Xifeng for a long time. He Xifeng was slightly hunched over, with his head lowered and not saying a word.
a long time.
a long time.
Bai Yuji said slowly: "This won't happen again!"
He Xifeng didn't think so: "Princess, the eldest girl is one of us, I..."
"The eldest sister is naturally one of us!"
Bai Yuji said sternly: "But you must also know that she is now a Baiyue person. She is bound by her own ties and cannot act entirely in the interests of the Nanzhao people. She can be of one mind with us, but the Baiyue people will not. If the Baiyue people were to do so, would our people just hide on a mountain and starve all day long?
You must not forget that when Nanzhao was massacred, Baiyue was among those who stood by and watched.
The Baiyue were also among those who divided up the Nanzhao city!
If you, the Great Elder, can't even tell what is a human being and what is a country, then you should go back to the mountains and take care of the people!"
He Xifeng: “…”
The second elder also said: "First elder, the princess is right. You really didn't think about what happened today."
The fourth elder also sighed: "Yes, Great Elder! In fact, we all know that every time we face a big event, only the princess can make the most rational choice. I feel that during this period of time, you... have lost your sense of proportion."
"That's it!"
Bai Yuji waved her hand and said, "Don't mention what happened today anymore, but please keep it in mind and take it as a warning. The eldest sister is indeed our benefactor. Although the elder's behavior was inappropriate, it was also reasonable. Don't blame her. Go back and rest. The elder will talk to me for a while."
"Then we're leaving!"
After hearing what Bai Yuji said, the elders felt relieved and took their leave one after another, disappearing into the formation.
Bai Yuji looked at He Xifeng and said, "The Great Elder has something to say, but it was inconvenient for him to say it just now?"
He Xifeng sighed, "It is indeed my fault for letting the young lady come here. I apologize to the princess here. But... Princess, do you know why I keep losing my temper?"
"Why?"
"Because I feel that the princess has lost her sense of proportion in her relationship with Qin Muye."
He Xifeng looked a little sad: "Nanzhao just won a great victory over Qin Muye today. If I had said it just now, the other elders would have unanimously opposed it. Now there are only you and me. Even though I know it will make the princess unhappy, I have to say it.
Since the fall of Nanzhao, I have been serving the princess. I understand the meaning of every move of the princess.
I know that the princess's actions will indeed help the tribe gain benefits.
But I would like to ask Princess to think back, has your desire for revenge faded?"
"Isn't it right to help the tribe members to gain benefits?"
"Then there's no need for revenge? Princess, isn't this what Qin Muye wants?"
"..."
Bai Yuji was silent for a moment, and then asked a question that Qin Muye had asked before: "Great Elder, if you can only choose between revenge and the people living in peace and contentment, what would you choose?"
He Xifeng didn't even think twice: "I want both!"
Bai Yuji asked back: "Then do you have this ability?"
He Xifeng was silent: "..."
Bai Yuji said in a deep voice: "Now these two things are both on me. I am the one who makes the choice, and I don't think I can do two things at the same time. Therefore, there should be no second voice in our team. Do you understand what I mean?"
He Xifeng was silent for a long time, and the whole person was depressed: "Got it!"
Bai Yuji stood up and said, "If there is a next time, I will send you back to the mountain. The other elders should have no objection. Also, take a good rest these days. You don't have to come to my wedding."
"Princess, princess..."
He Xifeng panicked and tried to keep Bai Yuji, but found that Bai Yuji had already gone far away.
……
Zhennan Mansion.
After Bai Yuji returned to her residence, she found that Qin Muye was not in the house, so she went to the front hall to look for him.
Before I even got there, I heard some commotion at the gate.
"Move inside!"
"Be gentle, it's expensive!"
"Come on, come on, raise your hands..."
A group of Annan guards were excitedly moving things into the mansion. Big and small boxes were piled up in the courtyard like a city wall.
Judging from their footsteps, the things in the box must be heavy.
Qin Muye was pouring tea on the side: "Brothers, hurry up and move the things. Come over for tea after you're done! Your young general is weak and can't help you move things. I can only be your waiter."
Hearing this, all the Annan guards laughed. Being poured tea by the major general was indeed a treatment that not everyone could enjoy.
Bai Yuji walked over, took the teapot, and asked curiously, "What are you moving in the middle of the night?"
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried about me? So he asked the puppet master in the Princess's Mansion to make a batch of puppets for me to use in the imperial examinations of all races, and gave me a 10% discount."
"10% off... so much, it must be a lot of money, right?"
"We've emptied our family fortune. When you marry me, we can go begging on the streets together."
"Pooh!"
Bai Yuji spat lightly, and then realized something: "By the way, Muye, that puppet master... do you know the real person?"
Qin Muye suddenly became alert: "Why are you asking this?"
