Chapter 697: Old Man, Get Down to Business

Shangguan Yu recuperated in the inn for a few days, and took this opportunity to leave Bai Ling alone, and no one noticed anything abnormal.

After searching for two days, there was still no trace of Shang Lao, so Bai Ling simply waited for the rabbit and waited in Cining Palace.

Sure enough, every time the Queen Mother needed to take the black pearl as a medicine, Shang Lao would appear in Cining Palace.

However, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty will inevitably be present, and Shang Lao is also sitting in a soft sedan chair, under the heavy protection of the Imperial Forest Army, in and out of Cining Palace.

Resisting the urge to take Shang Lao away immediately, Bai Ling waited in the space all the time, and followed Shang Lao immediately.

To Bai Ling's surprise, Shang Lao was not locked up in the palace, or even in the capital.

After the soft sedan chair was carried into the imperial study, it was carried out directly from the secret passage, all the way to a seemingly inconspicuous Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, which was the place where Shang Lao was under house arrest.

After the merchant was about to rest and waved away the people in the house, Bai Ling appeared.

"Master, I can be regarded as finding you." When Bai Ling saw Shang Lao, he suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour.

Although Shang Lao's treatment in the Western Han Dynasty was very high, Shang Lao must have been very unaccustomed to the loss of freedom.

"Haha, I knew that my good apprentice would definitely find me." Shang Lao stroked his beard, laughed quietly, and stretched out his finger to point to the top of his head.

Bai Ling knew that there must be a master sent by the emperor guarding outside.

"Master, I'll find a way to get you out as soon as possible." Bai Ling knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he had to make a long story short: "Everything is fine in the Medicine King Valley, I have already discussed with a few elders, and invited the masters of the rivers and lakes to lurk in the Western Han Kingdom." ”

"Girl, don't act rashly, I can't leave for the time being." Shang Lao was aggrieved, "The emperor of the Western Han Kingdom, if you want me to make a poison for him, I don't know what the purpose is, but it's definitely not a good thing, I must stabilize him first, otherwise I'm afraid that I will implicate the Medicine King Valley." ”

"Master, Medicine King Gu has been implicated."

Bai Ling smiled bitterly, it was not good to hide it at this time, so he had to tell what happened in the Medicine King Valley.

Seeing that Shang Lao was on the verge of rage, he hurriedly took out a pot of wine and said, "Master, you take a sip of wine, suppress the shock, we can't be angry, and if you startle the people outside, your apprentice will be trapped here, who can save you out!" ”

"I deceived people too much, and I even wanted to blackmail my disciple to do such a cruel thing! Is it really my Medicine King Gu so easy to deceive? Shang Lao's voice was extremely low, but the anger made people feel it clearly.

After pouring a few sips of wine, Shang Lao realized that it was Bai Ling's own wine.

"If you have the heart, you know that the master is hungry for this, and the next time you come over, remember to bring more. Okay, it's not too early, let's go quickly, don't delay my old man's sleep. ”

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, what Shang Lao originally wanted to say, he could only hold back, lest Bai Ling be trapped here.

He casually took a Medicine King and gave it to Bai Ling, and Shang Lao instructed: "This is the secret medicine of the Medicine King Valley, even if I am transferred, as long as you take this Medicine King, you can find me." Don't explain much, you will know after taking it. ”

"Well, take care, master." Bai Ling hurriedly walked to the back of the bed and dodged into the space.

At the moment when Bai Ling disappeared out of thin air, he heard a knock on the door.

"What do you command?" The man outside the door asked.

"Command your mother! Hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, don't disturb Lao Tzu to sleep! Shang Lao scolded irritably, sat on the bed, and drank stuffy wine.

Something happened to the Medicine King Valley, but as the owner of the valley, he was not there, so he was simply sorry for the disciples and grandchildren.

After drinking a pot of wine, Shang Lao got up and came to the last place where Bai Ling stood.

After a careful search, I didn't see anything unusual, and there was no secret passage.

Thinking about Bai Ling's appearance again, it seems to be so abrupt......

"Could it be...... Ling'er is the one the ancestor is waiting for? Elder Shang twisted his beard and muttered to himself.

After Bai Ling was sure that Shang Lao was not in danger, he drove the space to leave, and he didn't hear Shang Lao's words.

After returning to the inn, Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu entered the space, discussed it, and decided that the two of them would go to see Shang Lao together tomorrow night.

For some things, it is more beneficial for them to have more clues.

And it is not easy for Shang Lao to stay in the Western Han Kingdom for a long time, in case he refuses to cooperate, or the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty feels that he has no use value, he will definitely kill people.

At dawn the next day, Shangguan Yu and Bai Ling went out again.

Since he has used the identity of the Duan family, he naturally has to make a full appearance and negotiate business matters with the other party.

The pearls that I gave to the other party last time were actually destined to be done.

After receiving the deposit, making an appointment to count the goods, and then paying the balance in full, this transaction will not change again.

"After the silver and goods are delivered, let the people of the caravan transport the jade back to the Eastern Han Kingdom first." After changing the medicine for Shangguan Yu, Bai Ling spoke.

Shangguan Yu's injuries are not serious, and the wounds have scabbed over after a few days of recuperation.

"Do what Ling'er says." Shangguan Yu has no opinion on these matters.

Bai Ling didn't want to implicate the innocent, and Shangguan Yu naturally didn't want the people of the Duan family to be lost here.

And the two of them stayed, in the name of inspecting business, it was convenient to move around, and they had no scruples.

"Let Nian Xia and Jian Qiu go to rent a small courtyard in a while. Since you have to stay for more than a month, it is always inconvenient to live in an inn. Bai Ling said again.

"It's fine." Shangguan Yu thought so.

There are people from three religions and nine ranks in the inn, and every time someone stares at Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu has the urge to beat people.

However, Shangguan Yu will not say this, when he goes out, he always can't avoid it, and he meets people of all shapes.

And Shangguan Yu couldn't speak, so he asked Bai Ling to put on a veil, for fear that Bai Ling would laugh at his careful eyes.

The couple reached a consensus, and things were naturally much easier.

By the time the caravan left, the two had already stayed in a rented courtyard, and it was much more convenient to leave at night.

Naturally, the two have found Shang Lao's whereabouts, and the most important thing is to meet with Shang Lao.

"I can't drink your wine, I'm incompetent as a master." Elder Shang drank the wine brought by Bai Ling, and asked only half a word about why they could come and go freely.

"The master remembers to owe me a makeup gift, and you can make up for it when you go back." Bai Ling said cheekily: "Although I haven't been to see the master's private treasury, there must be a lot of treasures in the master's house, right?" ”

"Well, those things will be yours sooner or later, what you like, pick it yourself, even if you move out, the master has no opinion." Shang Lao didn't care much about these things outside his body.

"I'm serious, don't regret it, master." Bai Ling's eyes were bright, a little brighter than the lights.

"Why did you fall in love with this money addict?" Shang Lao looked at Shangguan Yu and shook his head.

"Ling'er is the best woman, including her appearance of being a wealth fan." Shangguan Yu said proudly: "The Han Wangfu raises the Zixiao Army, which is very poor. ”

"Tut-tut, you kid is calculating, and you married a God of Wealth. In the future, I will hand over the Medicine King Valley to this girl, but I will not be able to make ends meet. Shang Lao sighed.

"Come on, old man, don't beat around the bush, let's get down to business, unless you want to be locked up here all the time." Bai Ling mercilessly interrupted Shang Lao's nonsense, and asked Zhengse: "Master, what is the effect of the poison that the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty has configured, and is it being developed?" ”

"Phew! Then the emperor's child, if you don't tell me what to do, why should I develop it for him? If you have the ability, it's my whole life! Shang Lao snorted, not respecting the king at all.
