Chapter Seventy-Three: Waiting for an Opportunity

After the fine and dense light rain moistened all things, as the rising sun appeared in the sky again, the countryside of Chang'an City turned into midsummer, and the sudden rise in temperature dispersed the humidity of the past few days, directly reducing the number of merchants and soldiers in the streets and alleys, and at noon it reached the point of empty streets.

On Zhuangyuan Street, Liu Yunlin, the deputy envoy of the Investigation Department, walked out of the restaurant, with a three-point smell of alcohol, and behind him was Tang Jiao, the head of the Tang family in Youzhou, who was dressed as a scribe in a robe.

Tang Jiaoqi, like Hua Jingting's evaluation, is more like an official who takes a career than a Jianghu guest. The purpose of entering Beijing this time is to receive the title of Ten Wukui and raise the reputation of the Tang family in Youzhou to a higher level. However, how to seal this Wu Kui is obviously a university question, the emperor writes two words casually and in front of the people of the world are two different things, since Tang Jiao came to the capital, he naturally wants to show up to watch him compete with others, and then 'Longyan Dayue' gives a Wu Kui. The person who is going to fight this alone must also be suitable, otherwise the court will bring Gonggong Jia out to compare with him, and this person will lose a lot of money.

Therefore, Tang Jiao has been visiting everywhere to make some connections during the time he has been in the capital, trying to sort out the affairs of the martial arts as much as possible, and even visited the Xiao Mansion on Kuishou Street once, and he has long forgotten about the humiliation on the road.

At this time, Tang Jiao had a bit of a friendly smile on his face, as if he was treating an old friend, walking beside Liu Yunlin, whose status in the rivers and lakes was not at the same level at all, and said, "...... Lord Zhang was injured by the thief Zhu Liuye, and my Tang family has been secretly tracking, if I find the fish that slipped through the net, I will definitely personally bring the head to the capital to let him ...... the law."

Liu Yunlin's expression was kind, and he waved his hand: "Lord Zhang is injured and recuperating at home, I am in charge of the selection of Wu Kui, the Tang family master has been famous for many years, there must be one of these ten Wu Kui, as for the saint to come to observe in person, I naturally dare not say this lightly, I have already sent an excerpt to the palace, and there will definitely be a letter in the near future." ”

Tang Jiao's face suddenly became a little eager, and he raised his hand and clenched his fists: "Then there is Deputy Envoy Lao Liu." ”

"Where, where...... ...... as it should be"

Liu Yunlin smiled and chatted a few words, then turned over and walked out of Zhuangyuan Street. After turning around the street a few times and making sure that there was no one following behind, he entered a courtyard near Guozijian again......

Know, know, know—

Xia Cicada made a slightly harsh sound in the peach blossom forest of Guozijian, and the originally bare peach forest had already been transformed into a courtyard full of greenery.

Song Yu stood under the eaves of the teahouse, hiding from the scorching sun, while holding a pen and gently sketching on rice paper.

After a while, Liu Yunlin dressed up as a pawn, carried two baskets of rice paper into the peach blossom forest, came to the teahouse, and took off the hat used to shade the sun on his head:

"Lord Wang, it has been arranged, Liu Pingyang and Han Zhongyu, the two adults, can hand over the fold to the saint at any time, please leave the palace, you see?"

Song Yu's eyes were focused on the scroll, and his expression was flat:

"The Lock Dragon Gu likes the cold and fears the heat, the weather is very hot, and the cold poison is bound to be more ferocious. It has been nearly two years since the poisoning, and the poison has almost entered the lungs, and it is difficult for the spirits to suppress it anymore...... It's just that Xu Buling rarely goes out recently, and he can't tell if it's poisonous. You have to find someone to test one or two first, as long as you are sure that you can't suppress the cold poison and are cornered, you will throw things out, and at the same time ask the imperial brother to leave the palace. ”

Liu Yunlin nodded: "No." ”

Song Yu was silent for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the Bell and Drum Tower of Guozijian - there was a scholar lying on the huge carved dragon hitting the pillar to read and enjoy the shade.

"Mei Qusheng has any changes recently?"

Liu Yunlin shook his head: "Since Mei Qusheng returned to Chang'an, under the supervision of the two lords of Beizhi and Liu and Han, except for the opening of the Longyin Pavilion, he has had no other contact, and thousands of people have watched that day, and they have not said anything special...... It's Xiao Qi, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, who met Xu Buling a few days ago......"

"Xiao Qi is very intelligent, but this matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family, there are very few things that can be understood, and I can't see anything. Seeing Xu Buling, I am afraid that he also noticed that something was wrong...... It's better to do it as soon as possible, if the Xiao family also intervenes in this situation, the situation will be chaotic......"

"No! Humble this will arrange ......"

Liu Yunlin bowed slightly and retreated quickly......

---------

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of April, and after a while it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the time of the year when the yang energy is at its highest, just like the sun at noon, so May is also called 'poisonous May'.

In the palace of King Su, Xu Buling meditated in the cool and comfortable stone pavilion of the back house, calmed down, and carefully regulated his qi and blood.

It is not good to detoxify too quickly, just like a river that has been blocked for more than a year and suddenly moves away the stones blocked in the river, the original river has shrunk and dried up, and it is suddenly washed away by the turbulent torrent, and if it is not regulated, it is easy to break the muscles and bones. After coming out of the Xiao family's house last time, Xu Buling didn't go out again, and quietly recuperated at home.

Lock Dragon Gu likes cold and fears heat, it is quieter when it is cold, and it is as fierce as a flood beast in the hot summer, and it almost killed him when he was poisoned last summer, but it was Aunt Lu who brought him a lot of ice cubes to use as air conditioners, so he survived the difficulties. Weichang

Now that the lock dragon Gu has been unlocked, there will no longer be that kind of pain of ten thousand ants devouring the heart, and it is easy to secretly leave Beijing, but it is obviously not advisable to escape.

What Xu Buling wanted was to be 'above board' and be sent out of Chang'an by the emperor.

Relying on martial arts to sneak out, he can only stay in Suzhou City as a shrunken turtle in the next life, which is not what Xu Buling wants.

Therefore, the plan still has to be carried out according to the plan, the matter of detoxification obviously cannot be spread, and recuperating at home can be regarded as a scene on the spot, lest the mastermind behind the scenes see that the lock dragon Gu has been solved.

As for the queen mother's baby, she has been very peaceful recently, and she has stayed in the palace honestly to care for the elderly, and she has not made a post to ask Xu Buling to detoxify in the past.

According to Xu Buling's guess, it should be what Xiao Qi said to the Queen Mother after that night, and it was impossible to admit it, otherwise the Queen Mother would have rushed over and cut him off. It should have just been said on the side, so that the Queen Mother baby smelled that something was wrong, so she honestly stayed and didn't mess around.

Xu Buling's poison has almost been resolved, and if it is solved again, it will be gone, so he didn't go to the Queen Mother at night...... The main thing is that I don't dare to go, the last time it was too ridiculous, and I'm a little sorry for the Queen Mother.

And Xiao Qi's reaction is also very in line with the identity of a strong woman, she swallowed the secret loss stubbornly, without showing any strange expression, and began to continue to deal with the tedious affairs of the Xiao family that day, as if she had forgotten about the loss. But he must have avoided snakes and scorpions, and they haven't seen each other since that day.

Now at a critical juncture, Xu Buling is not good to have too much to do with the Huainan Xiao family, and he can only wait for An An to return to Suzhou steadily, and then he can solve this misunderstanding, which is not bad for him.

Miss Xiao is one year younger than Aunt Lu, and she is only twenty-seven. He is now nineteen years old, and it shouldn't be a big problem to be a few years old, just get married, it's just that Aunt Lu is not easy to explain......

Thinking of this, Xu Buling frowned, and had a headache - King Su Xu You is his son, whether it is his body or memory, it is impossible not to admit it.

His grandfather Xu Lie was old and had a son, and his father Wang is currently in his forties. Twenty-two years ago, like him, he came to Chang'an City to study.

And his mother, Princess Su, was a young lady of the Lu family in the East China Sea, who was only sixteen at the time, and was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, playing with Aunt Lu, who was seven or eight years old, and burned yellow paper.

After that, his mother came to the capital, and was caught up by his father, who was soft and hard, and according to the time, it should be the first to get on the bus and then make up the ticket. Because his mother was a princess for a few months, she gave birth.

Aunt Lu heard that his mother came to the capital, so she rushed to the capital to play, and as a result, they met a few times, and they passed each other, the year he was born, Aunt Lu was only ten years old, and then married the queen mother and Xiao Qi's eldest nephew.

Although they are not related to each other by blood, and the age difference is not big, if he and Xiao Qi get married, they will naturally be tied together.

Mrs. Su Wang Guan Lu is called Yimei......

He called Mrs. Lu his aunt......

Mrs. Lu called his wife aunt......

King Su called his wife his daughter-in-law......

Mrs. Lu called King Su ......

Mrs. Lu called him ......

Thinking of this, Xu Buling shuddered, and could already imagine the aggrieved appearance of Mrs. Lu holding scissors and standing by the bed in the middle of the night......

Do you want Aunt Lu to withdraw from the marriage......

What about the......

Too young doesn't count?

Somewhat reluctantly......

In the stone pavilion, Xu Buling rubbed his forehead and unknowingly fell into a dead end......
