Chapter 457: Progress

Not bad. ”

At this time, Zhai Liulang not only did not avoid this question, but also gave a positive answer immediately.

And it was this answer that also made Dongfang Shuo see his sincerity.

"I'm not going to ask you who you are, and I'm not interested in this list. At this point, Dongfang Shuo's voice paused slightly, and at this time, his eyes became a little sharper, "I just want to know, if I promise 'you', then what do I need to do?"

"'We' ambition is to make heaven and earth the same, that is, to give all subjects in the world the opportunity to become officials and knights, at least so that the children of ordinary people have the opportunity to be in high positions. Zhai Liulang said, "To tell you the truth, my father is just a petty official in the imperial city, and my grandfather is just an ordinary pawn in the city." ”

Dongfang Shuo's eyes moved slightly.

"So, you want to get rid of the generations of ministers headed by the Sima family, right?" he asked.

The corners of Zhai Liulang's mouth hooked, but he didn't say anything.

"It's something that benefits the people, and I can accept it. The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked slightly, and he picked up the wine bottle in his hand, "But I may not really have the kind of magical power you think, I hope you don't put all your hopes on me alone." ”

Seeing Dongfang Shuo lifting the wine bottle to himself, Zhai Liulang also immediately pushed the wine bottle to Dongfang Shuo.

"Then, this bottle of wine wishes us success. ”

When the words fell, Zhai Liulang looked up to the sky to drink first.

And Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, and also brought the wine bottle to his mouth, and gradually sent the wine into his mouth.

To be honest, this wine made Dongfang Shuo feel bitter, he still didn't quite adapt to the drinks in Xuzhou, or simply said that he was not used to any drinks.

He prefers tea to wine.

And before he drank all the bottles, Qiuhou, who was sitting next to him and never said a word, glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally at this moment.

In Qiuhou's eyes, there was a faint hint of deep meaning.

As a general who has been on the battlefield, her keen insight has made her aware of the hypocrisy exuded by Dongfang Shuo.

Intuition told her that Dongfang Shuo still had a secret in his heart.

"Now that Dongfang Shuo has come to the Imperial City, after today's banquet, I will report to Your Majesty. At this time, Xu Changsheng, who was sitting diagonally opposite Dongfang Shuo, suddenly spoke, "If nothing else, Your Majesty will issue an edict tomorrow to order Dongfang Shuo to enter the palace and accept the reward." ”

But at this time, Dongfang Shuo put down the wine bottle.

He looked at Xu Changsheng and said, "Lord Xu, before that, isn't it time to settle another matter?" Although Uncle Zhai's matter has been resolved, it seems that my matter has not been resolved from beginning to end, right?"

"I almost forgot about my memory. ”

Xu Changsheng patted his head, glanced at Dongfang Shuo, and then looked at Zhai Liulang and Qiuhou again, "But about the incident ten years ago, compared to me, who lived in the palace and stayed out of the matter, these two still understand better, let these two tell you." ”

As soon as his words fell, Dongfang Shuo's eyes immediately fell on Zhai Liulang and Qiuhou.

At this time, Qiuhou was still eating by himself, but Zhai Liulang looked at Dongfang Shuo.

"Dongfang, if you want to know anything, just ask, just the four of us here, if I knew what happened ten years ago, I would know everything. Zhai Liulang's words still showed his full sincerity to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, and asked, "What I want to know is very simple, that is, ten years ago, why did you summon the city lord in the remote area into the imperial city?"

This is also the core problem.

As long as you know why the old city lord of Yuwei City came to the Imperial City, then all the problems can be easily solved.

But just after his question was asked, Zhai Liulang's face was obviously stunned for a moment.

And when Dongfang Shuo looked at Xu Changsheng again, Xu Changsheng also showed a bit of a dazed look.

On the scene, Duduqiu Hou still stayed out of the matter and ate food by himself.

"Uh...... Ten years ago, there was a storm in the Imperial City, and I knew a lot about it, but I didn't know when a city lord from the edge area was summoned into the Imperial City. At this point, Zhai Liulang looked at Xu Changsheng as if he had thought of something, and said, "Since it is called into the imperial city, it should be related to the affairs in the palace, does Lord Xu know?"

But Xu Changsheng also shook his head: "Ten years ago, I was just a palace attendant, who entered the palace and who left the palace, I had no right to ask at that time. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help frowning, and sighed lightly at the same time.

"So, the news that the spy sent back to the city is fake, just to let me come to the Imperial City to participate in this banquet, right?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

After Xu Changsheng paused, he said: "Originally, I thought you were going to ask about something related to that, so I planned to let Lord Zhai answer you, but it's a pity that ......"

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo sighed again.

"That's fine. I'm bothering you about this, and you've already found a lot of useful things for me. ”

At this point, he smiled and thanked him.

But at this moment, Xu Changsheng said again: "However, if the thing you are looking for is related to the palace, I can go back today to check it for you." Ten years ago, the entry and exit documents related to the lord of the city should still be well preserved. ”

These words suddenly made Dongfang Shuo lift his spirits again.

The clues that were originally broken seem to be connected again.

"Then there's Lord Rausch. ”

"Help others to the end, but what you promised me at the beginning, you must also do what you say. ”

"Don't worry, it will. ”

Dongfang Shuo should take a bite.

As long as he can solve the system task, he is naturally a hundred willing.

While Xu Changsheng promised to help him investigate this matter, he also promised to help Xu Changsheng find an inheritor.

Naturally, he made a statement that day, and the inheritor was Ah Yu.

So what Dongfang Shuo has to do is to move Ayu and make him the heir of Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng, as the head of the imperial palace, and is also a great power in the refining period, his life is so rich that I am afraid that even ordinary families in the imperial city can hardly be compared with it. Being able to get his inheritance is also an opportunity for Ah Yu.

"Then it's almost time for the meal to end. ”

At this time, Qiuhou suddenly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

When Xu Changsheng and Zhai Liulang heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.

Dongfang Shuo, on the other hand, got up with Qiuhou, and he said, "Since that's the case, then it's almost time for me to leave." ”

"Dongfang, do you have a place to live, why don't you stop here with me?"

Zhai Liulang said.

However, without waiting for Dongfang Shuo to answer, Qiu Hou said first: "With my father-in-law in the imperial city, it is no better than bothering Lord Zhai." ”

Dongfang Shuo has a black line.

"Uncle Yue...... It's usually used to refer to men......"
