Taoshouzhai big boat, in the hall.

After leading the two guests from afar, Yu Nianyuan quickly picked up Li Shu's back collar before the eldest sister Xue Zhongzhu went crazy, and lifted her helplessly out of the door, waving her short legs.

The master and apprentice left the hall to Xue Zhongzhu and the two guests.

In a small room at the back of the hall, Yu Nianyuan came back and brought back a bowl of fish soup to comfort Li Shu.

Yu Nianyuan turned around and left, called the proprietress of Taoshou Zhai and gave some instructions.

Not long after, the defense on the merchant ship became increasingly tight, and the figures of Yue girls coming and going were in a hurry.

After enjoying the wind and rain at the bow of the ship for a while, Yu Nianyuan counted the time, turned around, and walked into the hall again with his bare feet tied with a red rope...

Participate in secret meetings.

About two quarters of an hour later.

Yu Nianyuan left the secret meeting hall again.

Holding a bowl of delicious and milky white sturgeon soup in one hand, she walked into the small room at the back of the hall where the well-behaved disciples were.

"Master! Did I make Master Uncle angry again? Her eyes were so scary just now..."

Li Shu rushed over, hugged Yu Nianyuan's thigh, and buried her face in her thigh, with a look of reluctance on her face.

Yu Nianyuan lowered his head and touched Mr. Zha's little head. At the same time, he handed out a handkerchief to signal Li Shu not to wipe her nose on her thigh.

"Master..." Li Shu looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head to wipe her nose with water.

Yu Nianyuan's face was calm. He poured a bowl of fish soup into the empty bowl in front of Li Shu and drank half of it.

"Although your uncle is busy with important things, he never forgot to ask me to bring you another bowl."

"Is it a gift from my uncle?"

Li Shu held the fish soup bowl in both hands and asked curiously:

"Master, why are you so courteous to me when you have nothing to do? Isn't it what you said is either adultery or theft?"

Yu Nianyuan:......

The gentle female gentleman in white suddenly felt that she did the right thing by not letting her disciple stay in the hall for too long.

At this time, I heard some slurping sounds of soup.

Yu Nianyuan lowered his head and glanced at his good disciple.

I saw Li Shu holding a bowl bigger than her face in both hands, raising her head and finishing a large bowl of white sturgeon soup in one breath: "Suck, suck, suck~"

She put down the empty bowl and panted slightly. The edges of her mouth were covered with milky white soup stains, and she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Yu Nianyuan took back the handkerchief, wiped Li Shu's nose, and said:

"I'm really flattering you today. You ate more than the guests."

The little lolita who stood in front of the boss held an empty bowl in her hands, licked her lips, and asked eagerly:

"Master, there is one left, when will it be put into the pot?"

Yu Nianyuan asked back: "I caught one for my master in the tank this morning, and you still looked unhappy, didn't you?"

Li Shu sniffed, tapped her chin with her index finger, and whispered:

"I was afraid that Dabai and Xiaobai would be separated before. Master, let me tell you, they have such a good relationship. On weekdays, they spin circles together in the water tank every day, which makes my head spin. Such a good relationship

, do you think we can break it up? I can’t bear to part with it.”

Mr. Zha's little loli sighed, paused in her words, and took the fish soup bowl handed over by her master. She lowered her head and took a sip from the edge of the bowl. The corners of her mouth turned white. She waved her little hand and made a decision:

"Forget it, Xiaobai is gone, how can Dabai live alone? The two of them go together, and they have someone to take care of them on the road. To use the words in the book taught by Master, it means...it means...stay together and fly together, and retire to the world."

"Shut up, I didn't teach you how to use it this way. This is not a two-way trip, it's a two-way trip."

"It's all the same..." Li Shu grabbed the hem of the gentle lady in white and shook it: "Dabai, when will master take action, I will be prepared."

"Ready to eat?"

"No, it's preparation for sadness."

"Ah."

Yu Nianyuan shook his head, was silent for a while, and whispered:

"We have to wait until Uncle Qi returns home. This is what your master specially left for her to recuperate."

"When will Uncle Seventh come home? Does she like the blindfolded eldest sister?" Li Shu asked innocently.

Yu Nianyuan remained silent.

She walked over, opened the window, and looked towards Jiangzhou.

The room was quiet for a while.

Yu Nianyuan heard Li Shu's weak voice coming from behind him.

"Master, I'm sorry, I won't make fish soup anymore. It won't matter how long I wait..."

"No."

Yu Nianyuan suddenly interrupted:

"We will take your seventh uncle home right away." After a pause: "We will definitely take her home."

Under Li Shu's bright eyes, Yu Nianyuan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the hall where the secret discussion was taking place.

…

"Mr. Wei came all the way from the southwest and avoided many obstacles. It was a hard journey."

"It's not hard work, it's because the queen has worked hard. The incident involving the Xingzi Lake Giant Buddha was also thanks to the queen's intervention, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Xuezhongzhu's face was cold and he didn't answer.

In the hall, after master and apprentice Yu Nianyuan left, only Xuezhongzhu and two men in coir raincoats and bamboo hats were left.

The latter two had already taken off their bamboo hats and raincoats, shook the rain off their bodies, and sat down together opposite the candle in the snow.

In front of the three of them, each had a bowl of delicious and milky sturgeon soup.

However, the white sturgeon soup in front of the candle in the snow did not move at all.

The other two men in coir raincoats and bamboo hats lowered their heads silently, drinking soup to warm their bodies.

Xuezhongzhu looked at the two of them with a pair of green eyes and a cold gaze.

In other words, he was just looking at one of them, the middle-aged man named Mr. Wei who was taking the lead.

She turned a blind eye to another man who seemed to be his deputy based on the seating order.

This Mr. Wei was wearing a washed white shirt, with a thin face and pale lips, as if he had caught a bit of cold. From time to time he took out a white handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed.

The deputy man following behind him was younger, plain-looking, a bit stuffy. He was also wearing a shirt, but he had a strong build. He looked less like a scholar and more like a military attache of the border army.

The Menghulu man was carrying a cylindrical cloth bag behind his back, which seemed to be wrapped around a scroll.

If Ouyang Rong were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize the two of them.

Wei Shaoqi and Du Shuqing.

The two of them followed Li Zhengyan and raised the flag to rebel.

Wei Shaoqi was privately called sir by Li Zhengyan.

As for Du Shuqing, if what Khufu and Ouyang Rong described is correct, he was involved in secret activities when Cai Qin and other 1,500 soldiers rebelled...

Wei Shaoqi took a full bowl of fish soup from Du Shuqing and took a sip. He raised his head and looked at the indifferent Xuezhongzhu with bright eyes:

"I heard that on that day, the eldest female monarch and the noble sect's hidden master turned the tide and intercepted the Buddha's head on the street, thwarting the conspiracy of the false emperor Baozhou..."

Xuezhongzhu didn't seem to want to mention that incident at all, and interrupted with a wave of his sleeves:

"The collapse of the Xingzifang Buddha and the annihilation of thieves have nothing to do with this sect, or it is not directly related... I will not mention this today."

Wei Shaoqi suddenly showed a strange smile that said, "I understand." When he saw this scene, next to the cushion of the candle in the snow, a snow-white long sword named after his best friend made a "clucking" sound and started to tremble.

Wei Shaoqi and Du Shuqing couldn't help but look sideways.

Xuezhongzhu first closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his green eyes, and tried his best to calm down in a dignified tone:

"Mr. Wei, it took a little longer than MiXin expected to arrive."

"There was a delay on the way."

Wei Shaoqi smiled and said in an understatement:

"Qin Jingqin's Xuanwu Camp is really annoying. I passed them several times on the road, but fortunately, I have been to this area of ​​Jiangzhou with Shu Qing, especially Shu Qing, who has a photographic memory, is proficient in terrain, and is good at

He is a natural-born military strategist who can make maps... He is very familiar with this area, so he was safe all the way."

"That's good."

Only then did Xuezhongzhu take a look at the young man Menghulu who could be praised by Mr. Wei.

Du Shuqing sat upright, taking off a cylindrical cloth bag from his back and placing it horizontally on his knees, without squinting.
