Chapter 319: Let Him Fly Freely
Just when Shao Xi asked Cheng Baiqiu what was the beauty of the star color stone? In the dark room in Yuanzhou, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing, and the momentum exuded by the black-robed man made Gao Cai who was standing behind him dare not take a breath, just stood behind him with his hands bowed, just waiting for the master's lecture.
"This Shao Xi is really not simple, he has only been in Kyoto for less than four months, and he has turned Yujiang County and Southern Zhao Kingdom upside down within two months. Now that the private army of Yujiang County has been exterminated, and the entire clan of Zhao Huajun, the county guard, has been dealt with by him, you just sent news again, Nanzhao actually united with Han Zeng to squeeze Fu Zuoliang out of the Nanzhao court, we still underestimated him at the beginning, this person really has some ability. I said a long time ago that someone like Fu Zuoliang is not suitable for us to work with, he is too high-profile, and a person who does not know how to be tactful and flexible will end up like this sooner or later. ”
Gao Cai stood behind the black-robed man, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "What the Lord said is exactly, we did underestimate his ability at the beginning, but now it seems that this person is very valuable to win over, he has the ability to make such a big move in Yujiang County and Nanzhao, if he can really use it for the Lord, it will definitely play a key role in the Lord's major affairs in the future." ”
The black-robed man shook off the sleeves of his robe, and the movement of the slightly pale hand turning the animal object was slow and rhythmic, as if he was thinking about something.
"The private army of Yujiang County was suppressed, and Fu Zuoliang of Nanzhao was expelled from the court, these powers should be a test of his ability, if this person can really be used by me, he can do more things in the future. By the way, I asked you to check if anyone surnamed Shao in Yingzhou City matched him? What's wrong with you? ”
Gao Cai heard his master ask about this, and hurriedly replied: "Previously, the slave suspected that this person was the Shao Jinbao of Yingzhou City, and after a few months of investigation, a young man named Shao Jinbao was not found in Daliang City. The slave speculated that after leaving Yingzhou City, this person had changed his name to Shao Xi when he entered Daliang, and the Spring Festival had already ended, and Shao Jinbao's name was not seen on the published list, and Shao Jinbao had not returned to his hometown in the dark pile on the other side of Yingzhou City, so it can be basically concluded that this young man named Shao Xi is Shao Jinbao of Yingzhou City, but his name was changed to Shao Xi. As for the practice of martial arts, there is no way to investigate, after all, we have not paid attention to this person before, and we don't know whether he secretly practiced martial arts in Yingzhou before. ”
Hearing this, the black-robed man's movement of turning the object in his hand suddenly stopped, and he let out a soft breath, as if he had let go of some kind of worry in his heart, and then resumed the rotation of the object in his hand.
"That's good! As long as we make sure that he is not the same child as he was, we can avoid a lot of unpredictable things, and it is always right for us to be careful in everything. The child should have grown up to this age by now, and if he changed his name and changed his surname and sneaked back to Kyoto to take revenge for what happened back then, it would add a lot of unnecessary trouble to us, and now that this possibility has been ruled out, then we need to put more effort into him, this person is indeed a usable talent. ”
Although he was only standing behind the black-robed man, Gao Cai nodded in agreement with the black-robed man's opinion, and at the same time, there seemed to be a worried look on his face.
Although the black-robed man didn't turn to look at Gao Cai, he seemed to know what Gao Cai was thinking at this time.
"You're worried that the matter of Yujiang County's private army and the matter of Fu Zuoliang of Southern Zhao Kingdom will make him notice something strange and suspect us, right? Something should be done about this, and the destruction of the evidence will be left to you! Also, you haven't been under any suspicion over the years, have you? ”
Gao Cai bowed and secretly raised his eyelids to glance at the black-robed man in front of him, and replied in a cautious and soft tone: "Lord, please rest assured, the identity of the slave over there is relatively public, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion. ”
"Well, you've done your best over the years, and it shouldn't arouse their suspicion, but you still have to be more careful, if you are exposed, I will also be exposed, and you should know better than anyone what the consequences will be, I don't think I need to remind you more. Now that Fu Zuoliang has been expelled from the court, you still have to keep in touch with the south, and you can't take it lightly, and remember to do it well before I told you. ”
"The slave understands that the slave will do his best to do everything the master explains, and will never bring any trouble to the master, please rest assured that the master is the slave! Slaves are loyal to their masters and will never do anything to be sorry for their masters. ”
"That's good! The connection with the east must be maintained without interruption, and since it is a mutual use, it is natural to show sincerity to each other, and to continue to give regular benefits, and when we are about to act, I will order people to send them such things, and when we see them, it is a signal to take action, and to remind them to be careful, and not to make any mistakes in the preparation of so many years. ”
Gao Cai reminded the black-robed man with some unease: "The thing in the lord's mouth is not unique to this world, what if something goes wrong?" In case they happen to receive the same thing as we have, and mistakenly think that we are sending a signal to take action, wouldn't we have exposed ourselves in advance? Please be cautious about this matter. ”
"Hehe......"
The black-robed man sneered, and said with a slight mockery in his tone: "Do you think I will be so stupid that I can't think of the hidden dangers that you can think of?" Although this thing is not unique in the world, the mark I made on this thing is the only one in this world, so using this rare thing and adding the only mark in this world can prove that it was given by me. This kind of thing is not something you should worry about, just do the things I explain to you, and you don't care about the other things, you go down! ”
Gao Cai didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the ridicule of the black-robed man, but quickly bowed and bowed and quietly exited the dark room.
The black-robed man stood there alone for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and finally sighed softly and whispered to himself: "Shao Xi, why do you always think this person is so special? Why is there always an indescribable sense of familiarity? Why does it always feel like something is wrong? Where exactly am I ignoring something? Or did you hide too far and never let me know what you had discovered? ”
After thinking for a while, the black-robed man didn't seem to find the answer he was looking for, so he shook his head and turned around and left the secret room.
He had to hide his identity and minimize his meetings with Gao Cai as much as he did today.
Shao Xi's appearance is a surprise for him, but it is also a hidden danger full of unknowns, if Shao Xi can't use it for himself, then it is very likely to become the biggest threat to himself.
In his opinion, Shao Xi is too smart, if he can't do everything thoroughly, Shao Xi will find out his identity sooner or later.
But even so, he still underestimated Shao Xi, and the shock that Shao Xi brought him in the future will be far beyond his imagination.
……
When Shao Xi knew that the star stone that Cheng Baiqiu gave him was so precious, the disgust in his heart had long been gone, and at this time, he was holding the colorful stone hanging around his neck in the palm of his hand and looking at it repeatedly, this is a treasure that can help him improve his martial arts cultivation! Compared with the glass bead that he gave to Cheng Baiqiu, which was just good-looking, this is an incomparably precious gift.
"Miss Cheng, this gift is too precious, I really don't know what kind of gift to use in return, I don't know what other wishes the girl wants to fulfill? As long as it can be done, we will do our best, and we will never shirk. ”
Cheng Baiqiu smiled and shook his head.
"You are at the critical moment of breakthrough right now, don't think about those who don't have it, let's hurry up and cultivate! Hopefully, we will be able to complete the breakthrough before tomorrow. I'm afraid that you can't help me realize my wish, as long as you can help me recover the bones of Guan Senior in the future, it will be the best reward. ”
Shao Xi arched his hand to Cheng Baiqiu and said: "This matter is something we have promised the girl before, so naturally we have to do our best, but today the girl gave me such a precious gift, I promise the girl that no matter how difficult this matter is, I will definitely help the girl find the bones of Guan seniors, so that the girl can fulfill her wish for the teacher." Not much to say, if you go down to cultivate, you must break through to the seventh grade and advance to the 'Transformation Qi Realm' before tomorrow. ”
Cheng Baiqiu didn't say anything more, just turned around and left silently, and at this time there was an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.
Her wish is to hope that Shao Xi can stay, stay by her side and never leave, but how could Shao Xi help her realize this wish? How could he be so selfish to let Shao Xi give up all the responsibilities he was carrying, stay on this island to accompany him, and lose the freedom to roam the rivers and lakes and display his ambitions? You can't be so selfish, you can't let Shao Xi feel even a little bit of pain for yourself.
She also knew that she couldn't keep Shao Xi, Shao Xi was not the kind of person who would give up her ideals for a little comfort in front of her.
It's like no matter how beautiful a canary is, how nice it is, how much you like it, you shouldn't put it in a cage. If you really love him, let him go and let him live the life he wants, and selfishly keeping him by his side is not really good for him, but a kind of captivity, a kind of torture.
Cheng Baiqiu doesn't want to be that kind of person, she doesn't want to lock Shao Xi up to her like a canary, Shao Xi may fly far away, but as long as he flies freely and happily, that is the most sincere and pure love she can give him.
And the only thing I can do for him is to help him fly higher, farther, and more freely.
