Chapter 81: Wishful thinking

Before Yang Yun reached the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Wang Ji rushed to hear the news.

"Well, how can she thank you? But a generous gift? Wang Ji asked impatiently.

Yang Yun replied angrily: "Next time there is such a thing, explain the situation first, this late at night, lonely men and widows are in the same room, aren't you afraid of ruining Sister Ling's reputation?" ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "What is this, the master fairy wind bones, mental toughness, what is a little female test?" Besides, this is what my sister meant, and I'm just conveying it on my behalf...... Hey, is there something going on between you? ”

Wang Ji looked like he wanted to listen to the gossip, as if he wished that Yang Yun and Wang Qian had some "secrets".

Yang Yun laughed angrily, pointed at Wang Ji and wanted to scold a few words, and finally said dejectedly: "Your sister wants to give a gift, but I didn't accept it." ”

Wang Ji sighed: "My sister is also a piece of heart, and the master doesn't have to shirk...... My sister is careful and arrogant, but in recent years, life has not been very satisfactory, brother-in-law...... Alas! How so? I don't know what to say, I don't have any ambitions, it's not unreasonable for my father to look down on my brother-in-law, he is nothing but the son of a late general who marched to the west......"

Wang Ji mentioned his brother-in-law with a little regret, which made Yang Yun realize that maybe Jiang Mingchong really didn't have much ability. In this way, it is natural for the wife to act for her husband, and even use the power of her mother's family to help her, hoping that her husband will become a dragon.

Yang Yun finally understood why Wang Qian wanted to give him a gift, shook his head and said: "This matter has been revealed, and I will mention it again in the future, I will go back." ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "It's a pity that my sister gave a gift over there, and the master confiscated it." In fact, there is also a gift here, but it is an apprenticeship. I also know that it is not so proper to worship His Holiness as a teacher, so I want to give a gift to you, and take the master as a teacher...... I hope that the master will not shirk. ”

Yang Yun didn't think about it, and waved his hand: "You don't have the talent to cultivate spells, no matter how reluctant you are, it's in vain, please be smart!" ”

……

……

At midnight, the banquet had not completely dispersed, and a military meeting was being held in the Jiedu Embassy Hall.

There were not many attendees, all of them were Wang Yu's cronies.

Hanging on the wall behind him was a military topographic map of Huiye City, and Wang Yu's expression was serious.

Bai Qiyuan, as Wang Yu's chief staff, is expressing his opinion: "...... To capture Huiye City, it is not easy to attack from the outside to the inside, besiege the city to send reinforcements, eliminate the living forces of Tibet, or plot against the defenders in the city, there is a chance of victory. As for the fire charm, it is difficult to use it in attacking fortifications, as the true disciple of Wuzun said at today's banquet...... The situation is compatible. ”

Gongsun Jian questioned dissatisfiedly: "Why Mr. Bai, with your resourcefulness, you can't pick up people's teeth, right?" ”

Bai Qiyuan was not annoyed, and shook his head slightly: "What he said is the truth, and there is some truth in analyzing the facts." But I have a question, how could he know so much about the military at his age and since he was a child? ”

Gongsun Jian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Yu reaching out.

Wang Yu asked, "Do you think that Wuzun real master and apprentice can be reused?" ”

"I don't understand the meaning of the commander." Bai Qiyuan was stunned.

Wang Yu said: "In the previous battle of Jinchuan, the fire charm did play a certain effect, which is an irrefutable fact...... Since Wuzun Zhenren can take out the fire charm, he must also have more magic weapons involving Qimen Dunjia, which may help Ben Shuai pacify Huiye City and drive the Tubo people back to the plateau. ”

Gongsun Jian was anxious: "Jie Shuai, how can you listen to the words of those mountain and wild Taoist priests?" What else will they do besides being abducted? ”

Wang Yu glared at Gongsun Jian with a stern gaze, as if to say, you didn't say that when you recommended Qinghe to me.

Bai Qiyuan smiled at Wang Lian, who was silent next to him, and asked, "I wonder what Miss thinks about this?" ”

Wang Lian glanced up at her uncle, lowered her head and said, "I don't understand this, I don't have an opinion." ”

Wang Yu said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Lian said at this time: "The last general thinks that although Wuzun Zhenren is old, he seems to be ...... He didn't have much ability, but he was his disciple...... More insightful than him, the martial arts real person at the banquet did not make outstanding remarks......"

Wang Yu looked at Bai Qiyuan again: "What does Mr. Bai think?" ”

Bai Qiyuan said with a smile: "The imperial court has not yet given instructions on the military marshal's capture of Huiye City, and it is too early to say that the city will be broken, so it is better to wait for the end of the Jiannan Dao Gate Dharma and then decide whether to ask this pair of masters and apprentices to help...... During this time, you can send someone to find out the truth. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Yu nodded, "According to what Mr. Bai said, arrange for people to keep an eye on the master and apprentice to see how much information they have hidden from Ben Shuai." ”

……

……

A few days after the celebration banquet of the Jiedu Embassy, Yang Yun obviously felt that there were a lot of ill-intentioned eyes around him.

He immediately realized that he was being watched.

Yang Yun had expected this, and it was not too strange, it was an eternal truth that the gun shot the first bird.

Whether it is Wang Yu, or the officials in the city, or the people in the family and the Daomen, they are all interested in him and Songmei.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Yang Yun usually only walks back and forth between the workshop and the house, two points and one line, and does not even go to the fairy building, sends wine to An Lun and Yarou to take people there, and reconciles the accounts and asks the second daughter to take the account books back.

However, no matter how cautious Yang Yun was, something bad still happened - Songmei went out to gamble for money, fought with people in the gambling house, and almost got into trouble with the government.

Fortunately, Songmei has the identity of a Taoist priest and has an official background, and the other party is just a splash in the streets, and he doesn't dare to provoke it, so the matter is stopped.

Yang Yun rushed to the Mid-Levels Inn, and Songmei had just come back and was sitting there sulking.

"Aren't you not allowed to go out and cause trouble? How to be disobedient? Yang Yun unceremoniously gave a lesson.

Songmei sighed: "A good apprentice doesn't know anything, and it's just a momentary itch to be a teacher...... That kid actually dares to do a thousand in front of me, how can he be let go as a teacher? ”

Yang Yun frowned: "Listen to this, are you taking the initiative to pick quarrels and provoke trouble?" ”

Songmei realized that she had committed Yang Yun's taboo and stopped talking.

Yang Yun snorted: "Fortunately, I didn't go to the government, otherwise it would be known that the dignified Wuzun real person is actually a gambler, and he doesn't admit it if he loses, how do you say it should end?" ”

Songmei sneered: "What's so difficult to end? It's just a lesson to a scoundrel in the market, thinking that the teacher's ability is more than enough. ”

Yang Yun sneered: "Now that outsiders are in charge, Wuzun Zhenren is a master outside the world, and the Taoism is unfathomable, if people know that you are a good gambler, and you are beaten to the ground, how can you believe in your identity?" If you want to eat with a mouthful of food, you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear. ”

At this moment, the voice of a Songmei disciple came from the door: "Master, there are people in the official mansion downstairs who want to see you." ”

"Huh? How would the people in the government know? ”

Songmei looked a little nervous.

Yang Yun said solemnly: "Don't go down, I'll take care of something...... But I want to warn you, don't blame me for being ruthless! Speaking of this, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his mental power was released, and the table in front of him suddenly fell apart, and scattered to the ground with a "bang".

When Songmei saw this situation, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe, and swallowed her retort hard.

……

……

Yang Yun went downstairs, but it was Wang Ji who brought people over.

"I heard that His Holiness is in some trouble, so let's see if there is anything I can do to help." The king's book is straight to the point.

Yang Yun blinked his eyes in confusion, and asked rhetorically, "The family teacher has just come back from going out for a walk, what can he do?" Tell me what you know. ”

Wang Ji smiled, obviously because the Jiedu envoy sent people to keep an eye on the master and apprentice of "Wuzun Zhenren" and felt that it was difficult to speak, and finally said: "I heard the Shu County official say that the incident happened in the gambling house, and I didn't ask how it was specific." ”

Yang Yun pretended to be abrupt: "That's the matter of the market, it has nothing to do with the family teacher, don't worry about it." ”

Wang Ji still wanted to ask, but when he saw Yang Yun's indifferent attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, he didn't dare to ask more.

The two had a brief conversation, and Wang Ji led people away.

Yang Yun returned to the room on the second floor again and told him of the king's intention, Songmei was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head, and only after a while did she whisper: "The people in this official mansion are also well-informed, and they even know about my visit to the gambling house." ”

Yang Yun's face was also ugly: "If you are Songmei, you only represent yourself, no one cares where you have been, even if you go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, it will only be a joke." But now you are taking the name of a family teacher, you must take the responsibility of maintaining this name, you think that the gods do not know, in fact, they only need to go to the gambling house to inquire, and they know everything about you. ”

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone."

Songmei looked regretful.

Yang Yun threatened: "Now it's just that someone is following and investigating you, if you want to secretly disadvantage you, do you have a life to live until the festival is held?" ”

Songmei's eyes widened: "What's the matter?" Do they still want to kill the killer? ”

Yang Yun sneered: "You are in the way of other people's wealth, of course others will not let you go...... The fire charm made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and I successively taught many people in Qinghe and Yizhou Daomen, creating a certain reputation, and it was easy to make money, which naturally caused the Daomen to be jealous and even hold a grudge. ”

"I won't talk about it, it's not as simple as facing one or two challenges, you are nominally my master, and they will only deal with them with a higher standard...... If the master is more than enough to deal with, but do you think you can deal with the plots of several cultivators at the same time? ”

"This ...... This ......"

Songmei became frightened, her face turned pale, and she trembled and said, "Okay...... Good apprentice, or you will apprentice my grandson...... Yidan sent it back, and with her by his side, he could at least protect the safety of his teacher...... Even if you don't go out as a teacher, those people will come to you. ”

Yang Yun shook his head and said: "As long as you stay in the inn, you can be sure that you are safe, and the government will come forward to settle everything for you, whether it is a Taoist or a person in the market, no matter how presumptuous you are, you will not dare to make a mistake in front of the government, but as long as you leave the door of this inn, anyone can target you......"

"Actually...... You think you behaved very well in front of the envoy of Wang Jiedu that day, but you do not know that many people have hated you, for fear that you will take their place in front of the envoy of Wang Jiedu. ”

"Alas!"

Songmei sighed heavily again and said, "I received a few invitations here for the teacher, inviting the palace to hold a festival, it seems that the teacher can't go." ”

Yang Yun shouted and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Songmei looked evasive: "It's just a small matter the size of sesame mung beans, you have a reward from the government, of course, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but for the teacher, you only want to be able to feed your poor junior brothers, and you want to go to the gambling house to make a lot of money to redeem it...... Ahem, it's all the teacher's fault, and I'll tell you if I have something to do with the teacher in the future. ”

Yang Yun had a kind of indisputable resentment, but he wouldn't really tear his face with Songmei.

Originally, he casually found a liar who pretended to be a real person of Wuzun and gave him a round of his origin, expecting the liar to act according to the rules, which was impossible.

Yang Yundao: "I have given you money before, and I will give you a sum afterwards, and help you create a great name in Yizhou and even Jiannan Road!" If you want to make money, you can only wait for me to leave Chengdu, and no one cares how you want to toss after the incident, but as long as I am in Chengdu for a day, you have to follow the rules I set! ”

"But I'm the master......" Songmei muttered.

Yang Yun said disdainfully: "You are just a Taoist priest who pretends to be my master but has no real skills, and now you are hired by me, if you don't do what I say, I will expose your identity and let you be a street rat, and everyone will shout and beat you." ”

Songmei kept her face silent, angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to confront Yang Yun.

……

……

The festival is approaching day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it's dog days, the hottest time of the year.

The business of the liquor store was surprisingly good, the chilled sour plum soup was initially just a gift, and then it was sold to diners as an ordinary drink, and in the end, many people lined up at the door, just to drink a sip of cold drinks, which seriously affected the conduct of other businesses, Yang Yun had to change his course and opened a separate take-out window, selling this iced sour plum soup, which could sell thousands of copies a day, and was basically driven by the big families in the city to come and queue up to buy it, in order to relieve the heat and cool down.

The "advertisement" made by Wang Ji at the banquet that day had a great promotion effect, and no one in the big families in the city knew that there was wine and sour plum soup in the fairy building.

Knowing that fine wine is not a tribute, it is not exclusive to the Jiedu Embassy, but a folk brew, and the number of people who come to taste it is increasing, and more people begin to beg the fairy building to sell the wine to the wine shop like selling sour plum soup.

On this day, Song Qi brought his six sons to send money to Yang Yun, and when it came to this matter, Yang Yun's attitude was extremely resolute: "Never sell alone, this matter is not negotiable." ”

Song Qi said: "Owner, this is a lucrative business...... Now there are so many people who come to buy alcohol that they are depressed and leave when they hear that they can't sell it alone. Once this wine is sold, it will not be a problem to make money every day. ”

Yang Yun said angrily: "You also said that their purpose is just to buy wine, they buy the wine, and they can consume it at any wine store, and some big wine shops can even sell it at a higher price, so who will patronize our wine shop?" Do you think you can retain guests just by stir-frying and innovative steamed dishes? ”

"This ......"

Song Qi was dumbfounded and couldn't answer for a while.

Yang Yun said: "There is a certain amount of wine brewed every day, from the initial supply of two jars to the current daily supply of five jars, it is the limit, and it can only be sold in limited quantities, and whoever comes to the wine store to consume will sell it to whom." Set the rules well, make a lot of money, and others can only stare dryly. ”

Liuzi remembered one thing and said: "The owner, a few days ago, someone went to the backyard to steal wine and was discovered, after investigation, it was assigned by several wine shops in Fuchunfang, and the Chengdu County Government has intervened, and I don't know how the case has been investigated." ”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Stealing wine is fake, stealing the secret recipe is real, but the wine is sent from elsewhere, what can they steal in the backyard of the Immortal Building?" Thought that if you brought back the sake, you would be able to figure out how to make it? It's just wishful thinking! ”
