Gui Yuan

Chapter 60

Beidi.

Tao Ji received a letter from Ning Qing a few days ago, in which he said that he had left for Dongyi and was not in the imperial capital recently.Thinking about it carefully, he really hasn't had a good rest these days, one thing after another, it seems that he is also overwhelmed.

Tao Ji walked to the window and took in most of the scenery of the palace.

Right now is just an eventful autumn, just like the eve of the rain, maybe the sky will change at some point.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the palace man said: "Third prince, the second prince said that he has something important to say, so he went to Baode Hall and sent someone to invite you to go with him."

It's all right, I don't know what kind of tricks Bucky is planning again.

"understood."

As soon as Tao Ji entered the Baode Hall, he saw Bach's self-satisfied, villainous appearance: "Hey, Tao Ji is here."

Tao Ji responded, saluted Bu Na first, and then asked, "I don't know what the second brother wants to say?"

Butch raised his eyebrows, ignored him, and directly bowed his hands to Boona, "Our father ordered us to find the whereabouts of 'Mr. Bei' earlier. It took a lot of time and manpower, but my son finally lived up to my father's expectations and found the whereabouts of 'Mr. Bei'." I'm here to tell you."

Buna was very interested, and straightened his body to listen carefully to the details.

Tao Ji asked in surprise, "Have you found someone?"

"I'm not the younger brother of the third king. It's been so long since I can't find anyone and I seem to be fine. I'm so worried that I can't sleep every day." Bach satirized him, and he was in a good mood, and said to Bu Na respectfully, " Fortunately, Erchen's subordinates are quite capable, following the clues, searching like cocoons, and finally found someone."

Tao Ji had originally thought that he was looking for the wrong person, but unexpectedly he said, "That person's name is Su Changyuan, and I have checked his background, and I found unexpected results!"

"Oh? What harvest?" Buna asked.

"This Su Changyuan was actually the military supervisor of the former Daxiang. Now he lives in the border mountains between Beidi and the northern border of the Great Wei Dynasty. He rarely shows up on weekdays. Fortunately, my son has already set his eyeliner near the border, watching a few suspicious candidates from other places. After following for a few days, I really found out. This Su Changyuan met one of them and handed him a box, and Erchen's subordinates immediately took it down, opened the box and saw that it was indeed a wooden kite."

Bucky managed to get ahead of Tao Ji for the first time. He was very excited, but he was afraid that they would not believe him, so he hurriedly added: "Later, I sent someone to visit his house, and found several unfinished wooden kites, and a lot of wooden kites made of wooden kites. The material, presumably foolproof."

Bu Na didn't expect that this time Bach would take the lead, and he said happily: "You have made a contribution to this matter, and you will be rewarded in the future."

He lowered his eyes and put down the teacup, and ordered: "Bring me up and let Gu have a look."

Su Changyuan was brought up by someone, and he didn't seem to be short of arms or legs. He wanted to come to Baqi to please Buna, even if Su Changyuan didn't show good face, he treated him politely and didn't attack him.

Bu Na arranged a place for him, and let the palace people serve tea and snacks, intending to show their favor, and did not put on a high-ranking score.

From the beginning to the end, Su Changyuan didn't even look at Tao Ji. Tao Ji knew that he was trying to avoid suspicion, but since Buna wanted to find 'Mr. Bei', he was ready. The truth will not follow the clues to find yourself, it is just a matter of time.

Bu Na smiled and said: "Gu has heard about Mr.'s reputation for a long time, and I have been thinking about what it would be like to be able to make a wooden kite. I am lucky to meet you today, and it is considered a fulfillment of Gu's wish."

Su Changyuan didn't like flattery, and knew that Bu Na was a duplicity, so he couldn't really believe what he said, so he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to beat around the bush, it's better to cut straight to the point. The second prince kidnapped the old man, why? Is it that easy to meet up?"

Butch said angrily: "What's the matter, it's obviously invited by a good student!"

Bu Na interrupted him, and said with a smile: "He is young, and his speech is bound to be rough. There is something wrong, sir, please don't blame me."

"Mr. Gu is here because of your excellent craftsmanship." Buna took out a wooden kite from the drawer, carefully held it in his hand, and admired it fascinatedly. Wouldn't it be more helpful for me to use Beidi."

Su Changyuan sneered, his voice was not loud but it was very obvious in the empty hall.

Bu Na was not annoyed, and put the wooden kite back into the box, as if he had seen through his worries, and said with a smile: "Mr. was originally an official of Daxiang, so naturally he doesn't like Beidi, but compared to Beidi, Mr. should hate the current Great Wei is the one, so why not join forces with Gu, not only helping Gu's great cause, but also avenging the destruction of the country."

It turned out that Tao Ji also knew some of Subor's origins. Over the past dynasties, the overthrow of the royal power caused troubles caused by the restoration of former officials, but Su Bo never mentioned it. Since he didn't want to talk about it, Tao Ji didn't ask.

Listening to Buna's words now, it seems that there is something unknown hidden in it.

Su Changyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty just wants me to help develop firearms. If you don't dislike me being old and frail, I have nothing to refuse, but I just have one request."

"Sir, please speak."

"I've lived to this age, and I don't like being controlled by others."

Buna immediately understood what he meant, and promised: "This is natural. During the development of firearms, all relevant people should follow the arrangement of Mr. Zhang."

Only then did Su Changyuan agree.

Until he left, Tao Ji didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Butch looked like a peacock showing off his might, and he didn't forget to look at him proudly before leaving.

Tao Ji returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart, and found a wooden kite parked on the desk. This wooden kite was different from others. It had a small red hibiscus flower on its stomach, which he specially used to communicate with Su Yunyue.

He took out the letter and looked at it, then left the palace.

Wangcheng Street was very lively, Tao Ji walked a street among the crowd, turned around and went into an inn.

According to what was written in the letter, he found the Tianyue Room and knocked on the door. The door just opened a crack, and Tao Ji walked in.

He held Su Yunyue's shoulder nervously: "Did Su Bo ask you to come?"

"Yes, grandpa is afraid that I will be implicated, so he asked me to avoid the limelight." She looked at Tao Ji worriedly, "how is grandpa?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine now." Tao Ji patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. Seeing that her face was not looking well, she thought it was because she was too worried.

"I haven't seen you in the past few days. Your complexion is much worse. I will try my best to help Subaru. You live alone in the inn, so you should pay more attention to your body."

Hearing this, Su Yunyue said shyly, "I've been getting shy lately, and that's why I look bad."

After listening for a long time, Tao Ji finally came to his senses, and said happily, "You, you have it?"

She nodded: "It's been more than a month."

Tao Ji was ecstatic, hugged her and laughed for a long time, then calmed down: "You can raise your baby at ease, I will protect you."

From this moment on, he finally had the real feeling of having a family. He had a grandfather, a wife, and a child was about to be born.

After more than ten years in Beidi, he is no longer alone.

-

Back in Huangzhou, I planned to go to Longzhu Temple to find Wuyou, but He Guan poured cold water on them first.

"Abbot Wuyou got up to go to Nanman the day before yesterday. You may have to wait for a while to see him."

Fei Tian wondered, "It's such a coincidence. Could it be that he guessed that we were going to look for him and took the opportunity to run away?"

He Guan waved his hand: "How could that be? Abbot Wuyou and Master Huikong from Dongyi went to Nanman to preach scriptures and preach the Dharma, and they go every year at this time. I wonder what the lords want to find Abbot Wuyou?"

Wei Yao said: "It's nothing, I just admire the abbot's reputation and planned to visit Yi Er, but it was so unfortunate."

"So that's how it is. The abbot will come back in about ten days and half a month, and the adults can still run into each other." He Guan said with a smile.

It was late at night when they arrived in Huangzhou, and the inns were closed or full. At Lin Suiqiong's invitation, they lived in Lin's mansion, and later moved out without further ado.

According to Ning Qing, although they suspected Wuyou, Lin Suiqiong had a close relationship with Wuyou, and now Wuyou is not around, so perhaps he would gain something from him.

This stay will last for ten days, and the few of them are already familiar with the way after wandering around the Lin Mansion these days.That day Ning Qing and Wei Yao hadn't gotten up yet, seeing their doors were closed, they didn't know what they were doing, Lin Rong went to the small kitchen to find something to eat, while Fei Tian wandered around the yard.

Going around, he saw smoke in a house not far away, and he was curious, so he walked over and saw that this place looked like a ancestral hall.Lin Suiqiong was burning paper money by himself, and the pile of paper money beside him was as high as half a person, and he just threw a few into the brazier without saying a word.

He found Fei Tian at the door, and shouted, "Mr. Fei."

Fei Tian wanted to leave without making a sound, but he suddenly stopped him and had to go into the house.

"Master Lin, what are you doing?"

"Today is the fifteenth day. I will burn some paper money to the boatmen and merchants who died." He said, and threw some paper money into the brazier.

Fei Tian was attracted by the paper money in his hand, and asked: "The style of this paper money is so special, I have never seen it before."

Lin Suiqiong took one for him: "It's a custom in my hometown to write prayer scriptures on paper money, and then fold it into ingots or boats."

Fei Tian looked at the dense scriptures on the ingot and sighed, "It's so complicated."

Lin Suiqiong looked a little sad, "Among the dead people, some of them had been with me for almost ten years. Now that something happened suddenly, all we strangers can do for them is nothing more than expressing comfort."

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Fei Tian couldn't say anything, he just felt that the Patriarch of the Lin family was really kind and righteous, no wonder so many people in his subordinates were willing to follow him.

As soon as Ning Qing opened the door, before she finished her breakfast, she heard commotion outside, and He Guan's voice was heard from a long distance away.

He Guan quickly rushed into the house, panting for breath while holding the door open, his clothes were a little messed up.

Wei Yao glanced at him, asked Lin Rong to invite him in, and asked, "What's the hurry, Mr. He?"

He Guan drank a few cups of tea, finally calmed down, and said anxiously: "It's a big deal!"

"Abbot Wuyou has been detained in Nanban!"
