But Yang Ling also knew that if he was tough enough to refuse, he might arouse the suspicion of the old emperor, so he had no choice but to bow and say, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Xia Guang didn't care much about his politeness or not, with a wave of his hand, ten black-clothed people came up from the shadows, they appeared silently, when they were just hidden in the shadows, Yang Ling could always feel their existence, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and he didn't bother to guess.

But it is no exaggeration to say that these people are all first-class masters, especially the stealth kung fu.

Compared to these, the few shadows around Yang Ling are really trivial.

But Yang Ling didn't keep a master by his side, in fact, it was also because he avoided suspicion, with his current embarrassing identity, leaving too many masters around him was to arouse suspicion.

Xia Guang pointed to a tall black-clothed man on the left hand side and introduced, "This is the Shadow Head Feather." Those people are the wind, thunder, wood, ......clouds, "shocking words, these ten people, in addition to the name has a shocking word, the tail word is actually a variety of simple natural landscapes, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, flowers, birds, fish, insects and the like.

Yang Ling nodded: "Got it." The troublesome father-in-law thanked the emperor on behalf of Yang Ling. It's getting late, so I won't keep my father-in-law. Surprise Yu, please send your father-in-law back safely. ”

Xia Guang didn't have anything else to say, Yang Ling asked Jing Yu to send him on the spot, but he didn't refuse. In his heart, he is even more mirror-like, this Yang Ling is not ignorant of etiquette at all, it seems that he really has a prejudice against His Majesty the Emperor in his heart. It's no wonder that whoever it is, his mother died unexpectedly, and he was living in exile and struggling to survive, and it was impossible for him to have no knots in his heart.

Although Xia Guang has a cold face, his heart is not very hard.

Xia Guang got into the carriage parked at the mouth of the alley, and Jing Yu personally sent him there.

Yang Ling glanced at the nine shadow guards standing in a straight line, and said lightly: "There will be all of you in the future." ”

There was no other word, pushing the door and going inside, the newly appointed little man in the porter was also a small shadow, jumped out and saluted Yang Ling, Yang Ling excused him from speaking, and said, "You should rest early." ”

Xiaoying's porter actually stood in the door all the time, Xia Guang didn't need him to accompany him, he felt very embarrassed, he didn't know whether to accompany or not, so he had to stand in the door and wait.

Thinking about the shadow that he has always hidden in the shadows, he is really unaccustomed to showing his face at first glance.

Fortunately, Yang Ling didn't blame him.

Although Yang Ling has always been cold and indifferent, he rarely gets angry at his subordinates. On the contrary, he has always been cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is very protective of his subordinates.

The nine shadow guards outside looked at each other and looked at the night, it was already too late, everyone had gone into the house to sleep, and even the concierge was resting, what were they going to do?

Their photo head is also going to give it away!

After looking at each other a few times, they had to find their own places to squat for the time being.

Yang Ling returned to the room, finished washing under Ah Er's guidance, and was about to lie down, when he suddenly felt the breath of Long Yingwei under the eaves at the back of the house, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and said to Ah Er: "You go to find two quilts and send them to the two under the eaves at the back of the house." ”

When Ah Er heard this, he pursed his lips and snickered, went to the wing room and hugged two quilts, and sure enough, he went to the back of the room, "Two, our lord reads the hard work of the two, although the weather is already warm, it is inevitable that the night will be cold and cold, let me send two quilts to the two, and cover the quilt to make it less hard." ”

Two shadow guards hidden in the shadows: "......" What is this called? We have a work ethic. Since we started as shadow guards, we are the ones who eat and sleep...... Why are you embarrassing us?

Ah Er put down the quilt, poked and sneered, and left without looking at the place where the two were hiding.

Counting the emperor's group of dragon shadows, Yang Ling calculated, there were no less than three groups of people around him. The emperor dialed it, Lu Xiaoxiao dialed it, and the other set was the people who were tolerant, and these people sent by them were all very skilled, as for the people sent by the princes, for him, it was actually not worth mentioning.

Even when he went out tonight, there were no less than five or six people following him, Yang Ling did not startle the snakes, and let them follow, until he entered Mu Nanyun's wine shop, these people were thrown off.

The reason, naturally, Mu Nanyun's liquor store security work is doing a good job. Mu Nanyun's liquor store is a membership-based liquor store that integrates modern concepts, and if you are not a member of the liquor store, you cannot enter the liquor store, and those who can handle the membership of the liquor store must be a person with a head and a face.

Every day in the future, I'm afraid it will be such a day when it seems to be free but is actually completely restricted in movement, Yang Ling is not unable to get rid of these people around him, it's just that he feels that there is no need to move these people now.

Yang Ling didn't move, but Qu Xiaobai had already begun to stride forward.

Although she was busy for most of the night, Qu Xiaobai still got up very early the next day, and after finishing her business in the morning, she called Ah Wu into the study alone in the afternoon, and explained to Ah Wu that she wanted to change her route to Di Yi and go to the capital from Di Yi.

After Ah Wu listened, there was only one thought in his churning heart: Little master, you really dare to think about it.

"Little master, please forgive your subordinates for being blunt, you ...... Have you forgotten that the Lord burned the grain and grass of the Diyi army, and also abolished one of the arms of the Diyi marshal Aroqiu, the Diyi people hate us to the bone, more than they hate the Mu family army! If you go, it doesn't matter if you don't get skinned and torn apart! ”

Ah Wu immediately raised objections.

This was within Qu Xiaobai's expectations. She was actually worried about these, but there was a wolf on the left and a tiger on the right, so she couldn't be allowed to retreat. Going straight into the capital or bypassing Diyi, she prefers the latter in comparison. In her modern philosophy, countering violence with violence is indeed a method that needs to be adopted when it is absolutely necessary, but simply countering violence with violence will only have the effect of countering the extreme, and will not solve the fundamental problems between the two countries.

Rigidity and softness are both benevolent and powerful, or to put it in layman's terms, a slap in the face to a sweet jujube is fine, the ultimate peace is the goal, surrender or annexation, is the selfish desire of a certain person or some people, not the demands of the people of the two countries. Qu Xiaobai thought to himself that although he couldn't represent the Great Liang Dynasty, he also wanted to do something for himself and the people in the border areas.

But she knew that these words could not convince Ah Wu, for Ah Wu, his responsibility was to protect her safety, and her safety was the most important thing compared to anything.

Therefore, Qu Xiaobai changed his words: "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, Ah Wu, do you know why?" ”

Ah Wu drilled into her sleeve: "Why? ”

"Because, only profit is eternal."

"That being said, what benefits can we allow Diyi? How much benefit does it take to offset the hatred they have for us in their hearts? ”

Qu Xiaobai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, "Ah Wu, Di Yi people are different from King Jingnan, and they are also different from those beetles in the court, King Jingnan is for his own selfish desires, and those people in the court are also for their own personal pockets, but Di Yi, burning, killing and looting, is just because they lack food and clothing." I can make the people of their country exchange their labor for food and clothing, and you say, they are willing to hang their heads on their belts and go to the cool to burn and loot? ”

Ah Wuyi didn't know what to say for a while. In his opinion, his little housewife does have the ability, but if he wants to give these skills to the enemy, how can he ensure that they don't turn around and kill the people of Daliang after they are full of food and drink?

After thinking about it, Ah Wu took a deep breath and said, "Little Mistress, Di Yi is cruel in life, if they become stronger......"

Qu Xiaobai's eyes revealed a cold light, "Then we will become stronger than them." At least, in our lifetime, let them not dare to act rashly! ”

Ah Wu couldn't convince Qu Xiaobai, but was a little hesitant by Qu Xiaobai's words, but he didn't dare to accept it in one bite, and only said: "The little master's body has not fully recovered, and the little young master has not yet reached the full moon, so this matter should be considered in the long run." ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "I have to think about it in the long run, so I came in to discuss this matter with you, Ah Wu, come and see, I drew a map." ”

Qu Xiaobai spread out the map that he had spent a lot of effort on the table, Ah Wu approached and looked at it, and was shocked, "This is ......"

"These are the two roads to Luojia, the royal city of Diyi, which I have decided after several considerations, you see, if it is you, which way do you think is the best way to take?"

Ah Wu calmed down his shocked mood while looking at the map carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, "Little master, are you...... Where did you get this map? ”

Although he knew that he shouldn't ask such a question, Ah Wu still couldn't suppress his curiosity and desire to learn.

Qu Xiaobai knew very well in her heart that there were some things that she couldn't hide if she wanted to, and she didn't bother to make up lies that took too much effort, so she followed the convention: "Teach each other, what's the matter, do you have any different opinions?" Or do you think there's something wrong with the map? ”

Ah Wuxin said, this reckless wasteland on the border is majestic and high-mountain, Tangtang River, and no one has entered the entire Daliang Dynasty, so how can he dare to say that there is a problem with the map? Can...... It didn't tell him which master had gone in and drawn this map so detailed that it was inhuman!

Qu Xiaobai suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I want to say that I have been there in a dream, this is a map drawn based on a dream, do you believe it or not?" ”

Ah Wu's legs were weak, and he almost didn't kneel down in front of Qu Xiaobai.

Little master, are you serious? Can things in dreams be done accurately? Or are you simply lying?

Qu Xiaobai took the opportunity to explain to him: "I often have some strange dreams, strange to say, the skills I learned in the dreams are really useful, such as the skills of bartending taught to Chen Xiaoshao, the medical skills taught to the little divine doctor and Lao Yun, and the farm tools made by Chen Dashao and Chen Xiaoshao...... I can't remember what else I've been taught, but anyway, I learned it all from my dreams. ”
