Chapter 111: Plan Ahead

The lobby of the teahouse is divided by wooden screens, and you can hear anything next door clearly.

I only heard that there seemed to be a few scholars next door, and they were discussing the current government politics with relish.

"This King Wu is said to be a little romantic, but there are not a few heroes throughout the ages, King Wu has outstanding political achievements, better than those sons of today's saints, I think it must be King Wu in the end."

This was said in a vague way, and he probably wanted to say, 'In the end, the throne must be passed on to King Wu.' But he was afraid to speak out, for fear of provoking sin.

"I don't think so." Another scholar interrupted him. "I don't know about the rest, but I heard from a friend who works on an errand in Shangshu Bureau that although His Royal Highness King Liang has always been weak, he is very approachable, and he has done a good job of being sent by His Majesty.

"I think you're just hearsay, who in Kyoto doesn't know that our Royal Highness King Liang can't do anything, and he will be sick."

"As far as you know, I've heard of King Qi'......"

Zhuo Chen leaned on the back of the chair and drank tea, listening carefully to the group of rabble next door who seemed to break apart and crumpled several brothers in his family and discussed it, as if the future throne was decided by a few of them.

He smiled, "I didn't expect Zhuoqun, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, to be quite popular." ”

Hearing that there was no sound over there, he applauded through the screen, "Okay! The head of analysis is the Tao, and I think the same as you. ”

Who knew that a group of scholars over there heard that someone echoed them, and they didn't seem to be happy, and one of the scholars opened his mouth with his neck tilted.

"Your Excellency understands this, too?"

Mo Shihuan was pinching a piece of crispy mung bean cake with slag to eat, and halfway through eating, he suddenly heard the scholar opposite say this, almost choking the cake residue into his nose and eyes, and resisted the urge to laugh.

Anyway, no one can see anyone through the screen.

The two of them glanced at each other, and she raised her voice with a smile: "My brother is a reckless man, and he doesn't understand this, but he just listens to your insights and feels like thunder, so you don't have to worry about him who hasn't read a book."

The "reckless brother" on the opposite side looked at her knowingly, suddenly stood up and got closer and said with a smile: "My sister is right, I said too much."

"You!"

As soon as Mo Shihuan saw him leaning over, he suddenly stood up and hurriedly retreated, his white porcelain-like face was blue and red, and he raised his hand to push him away, "Get closer, and I'll let you taste the newly developed sword that I recently developed." ”

Pei Chengzhi hurriedly coughed beside him, and the two of them suddenly distanced themselves.

She unnaturally adjusted the hem of her skirt, and pretended to buckle the table calmly with her hand and said, "I also drank the tea, I have to ask you something, and you answer truthfully."

Chen Zhuo's slender fingers rubbed the edge of the tea cup, took a breath, raised his head to look at her, and said, "You say."

Mo Shihuan looked at Pei Chengzhi: "I want to ask about Pei Yuanzhi, according to my inference, he is also a descendant of Mr. Pei, how much should he know about the jade key."

"You should ask the person sitting next to you about the news of the jade key, it's better to ask him than to ask me, and then talk about it." He spilled the cold tea and poured himself a hot cup again, spreading his hands: "I don't want to care about this."

Mo Shihuan frowned and looked at Pei Chengzhi again, only to see Pei Chengzhi nodding and shaking his head, revealing a look that was afraid to disappoint you.

"I'm afraid my eldest brother can't give you clues, and you know that it's not a good plan to provoke him and his group of squishy people."

Indeed, Pei Yuanzhi didn't seem to want to know anything about the clues to the jade key except for wandering around the major Goolan tile houses and teahouses in Kyoto all day long, and then making a bunch of friends with chickens and dogs.

Pei Chengzhi continued: "If my eldest brother knew where the jade key was, he would have told his group of fox friends and dogs all the time, so why pretend to be confused now."

It was drizzling outside, and the wind was blowing in with some moisture, making people feel a little cold, Zhuo Chen pulled his robe and took a sip of hot tea patiently: "Did you get any clues from Pei Yuanzhi?"

"That's right."

Mo Shihuan poured another cup for Zhuo Chen and handed it over, "I saw a method in the books recorded by the Wu clan before, generally this very precious thing will have two keys when it is stored. ”

Pei Chengzhi suddenly asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhuo Chen raised his hand and took the words: "She thinks that the two keys may have something to do with Pei Yuanzhi, I wonder if Mr. Pei left him something, such as seals and the like?"

Mo Shi nodded happily, stretched out two fingers, and dropped another one.

"So I said, if you check Pei Yuanzhi, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will know the news about the jade key, or it may be that he has clues about the jade key but he doesn't know. The most important thing now is that if another token is on Pei Yuanzhi's body, will King Wu also know this clue, we have to find Pei Yuanzhi before them, otherwise it will be useless after checking for so long. ”

Pei Chengzhi thought for a while and shook his head, "No." ”

Thinking about it now, the clouds that had gathered like a mist were suddenly blown away, and he, King Wu and all kinds of people who coveted the clues of the jade key were like seeing the hydrangea on the high platform at the end of the horse race, and it was clearly placed there, and the next thing was to see who ran fast and who got it first.

Mo Shihuan sighed: "Whether we guess accurately or not, we have to find someone first......"

"Why did you suddenly start to know so much about the Wu Clan?" Zhuo Chen asked her unexpectedly, his long narrow eyes narrowed slightly to look at her face.

She suddenly felt choked by such a question, and was quickly stunned for a moment, and then took out a pale face.

Bowing his head: "The records of the Wu clan are all about all kinds of strange scriptures and strange arts, and there is no other way I can only find clues in the estimation of the Wu clan." If I had found out about my mother through the clues of the jade key, maybe my mother would have ......."

"Alright, I got it. When you go back, the king will immediately order his subordinates to find someone, you just have a good rest, you are too tired these days. ”

Zhuo Chen looked at the handful of hair on the top of her head that had risen at some point, and couldn't help but want to reach out and rub it, but remembered that there was an outsider, and proudly withdrew his finger and pointed at Pei Chengzhi: "You've been following for so long, why can't you change it?"

Mo Shihuan helped his forehead: "People are helping us, why are you suddenly driving people ......?"

The rain fell a little urgently, and the three of them looked at the rain outside the window and thought about all kinds of thoughts, and the twilight rain gradually stopped.
