Chapter 216

Slap!

There was a sound of falling on the courtyard wall, and Tao Yan'er, who was leaning over the desk and writing lines of beautiful handwriting, looked up at Lu Shengzhong, who was sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Tao Yan'er put down her pen, got up and left the case, went to the courtyard, and picked up a ball of paper.

This is not the first time she picked up similar paper balls.

She didn't open the paper ball, went back to the house, walked to Lu Shengzhong, handed out the paper ball, Ying Yu said softly: "Brother."

Lu Shengzhong opened his eyes, received the ball of paper, spread it out, and put the stone in the paper ball aside.

Knowing that whenever this was not the time for her to observe, Tao Yan'er turned around and walked away, avoiding to the courtyard.

Going back and forth in the courtyard, she didn't know what Lu Shengzhong was doing, nor what Lu Shengzhong was going to do, but for an intelligent woman who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, from Lu Shengzhong's cunning behavior, she had already realized the dark turbulence in the calm.

After pacing back and forth for a while, with her hands on her abdomen, she raised her picturesque face and looked at the clear sky. There were birds flying in the blue sky. It was so cheerful and free, which made people yearn for it.

Lu Shengzhong wandered around in the house, looking at the secret letter in his hand, walked to the case and sat down, his eyes moved, and fell on the beautiful handwriting on the paper on the case, and read the handwriting briefly, it was a poem with the artistic conception of traveling.

The handwriting is beautiful, which made Lu Shengzhong quite emotional. I am afraid that ordinary ladies don't have this kind of skill. Those brothels put a lot of effort into these high-class actors in order to make money.

He pushed aside the paper with beautiful handwriting, picked up a pen and translated the contents of the secret letter.

After reviewing and memorizing the instructions in the secret letter, he lit a fire and burned the secret letter and the translated content together in the pen wash. Fang shouted, "Swallow."

Tao Yan'er, who was outside the house, came in and stood by the case and looked at him.

After a little silence, Lu Shengzhong asked, "Will Wu Tiannan come today?"

Tao Yan'er: "Should come, I told you that today we will compete in chess."

Just as the words were finished here, there was already a knock on the door in the courtyard outside, and Wu Tiannan's voice, "Brother Tao!"

The two 'brothers and sisters' looked at each other, and they really said it.

Lu Shengzhong slightly lifted his chin toward the ashes in the brush wash, then got up and left, and walked out the door and replied, "Here we are."

Tao Yan'er quickly moved the brush to wash it.

The courtyard door opened, Wu Tiannan with a smiling face held a food box in his hand, and said cheerfully: "Brother Tao."

After saying hello to Lu Shengzhong, they entered the door. They were obviously very familiar with each other.

Lu Shengzhong closed the door and turned around and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Wu Tiannan brought up the food box: "The delicious food and wine at Babaozhai is almost time for dinner, so I won't have to do it for Yan'er."

Lu Shengzhong: "You don't have to be so polite."

Wu Tiannan: "Brother Tao is too polite, a fellow from the big hometown."

Lu Shengzhong chuckled, shook his head, and said nothing.

When they entered the room, they saw Tao Yan'er sitting upright and writing. Wu Tiannan was infatuated with her soft and graceful style. When Tao Yan'er looked up, Fang hehe said, "Your sister is working hard?"

Tao Yan'er put down her pen, stood up and saluted, "Brother Wu."

Wu Tiannan put down the food box, walked closer to see the handwriting on the case, clapped his hands and praised: "Sister Yan'er is so talented!"

Tao Yan'er reserved and shy said: "Brother Wu is absurdly praised, it's just arty, it can't compare with Brother Wu's family."

"It's not flattery, it's really a good literary talent, look at this word!" Wu Tiannan pointed at the handwriting on the paper and shook his head again and again, "I'm ashamed of myself!"

Lu Shengzhong sighed: "Don't brag about it. Yan'er, Tiannan brought some food, let's serve it up."

Tao Yan'er bowed slightly to Wu Tiannan, turned around and hurried away.

After a while, the dishes and dishes were set on the table.

At the table, after the three of them toasted, Lu Shengzhong suddenly asked, "Brother Wu, why do you often stay in the capital city of Beizhou, don't you need to go back to Pingchuan?"

Wu Tiannan was slightly startled, slowly put down his wine glass, shook his head, and sighed, "I won't talk dark words in front of Brother Tao and Sister Yan'er. You probably know the situation in Beizhou. The situation is a bit special. After the cracking of the land in Yan State, Yan State couldn't control it, and South Korea didn't dare to push too hard. So the people who can really make decisions on this ground are in the capital city of Beizhou. I have been active in this capital city for a long time, and I also want to rely on my connections to find a suitable errand to do."

Lu Shengzhong snorted, "Lingfu is the county magistrate, can't Pingchuan County arrange a good job for you?"

Wu Tiannan: "Pingchuan County is a barren land. How could the best job be any better? My ambition is not in Pingchuan, but in this Beizhou city."

With a high-minded look, he glanced at the reserved Tao Yan'er's reaction.

Lu Shengzhong nodded slightly: "So that's it! Everyone knows that the Shao family is the master of Beizhou. Your father is the magistrate after all. Why don't you ask your father to see Shao Dengyun?"

Wu Tiannan suddenly smiled wryly: "The county magistrate is a high-ranking official in Pingchuan County, but it's nothing in this Beizhou capital city. Beizhou state herdsmen are something my father can see whenever he wants."

Speaking of this, as if afraid that the other brother and sister would underestimate him, he raised his head and said: "But I have found a way, and I have established a relationship with the son of the state shepherd. Given time, there will be results."

Lu Shengzhong was about to lead the conversation here, but he didn't want Wu Tiannan to say it himself, which saved him the trouble of beating around the bush. He asked lightly, "I heard that Shao Dengyun has three young masters. I wonder which young master Wu brother has followed?"

Wu Tiannan: "Second Young Master and Third Young Master."

Lu Shengzhong oh, "How did I hear that the eldest son Shao Pingbo is the real power figure in Beizhou?"

Wu Tiannan was a little embarrassed. He wanted to cling to Shao Pingbo, but he had to cling to him. They didn't pay attention to him at all, and argued: "The eldest son is too busy, and we don't have the chance to meet for the time being. When there is a suitable opportunity, I will naturally ask him."

"Not right!" Lu Shengzhong shook his head slightly.

Wu Tiannan was surprised: "Brother Tao, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Shengzhong said: "Shao Pingbo may be facing a catastrophe, I advise Brother Wu not to get into trouble, it's better to stay away from him."

Wu Tiannan was even more surprised: "Brother Tao, why did you say that?"

Lu Shengzhong seemed to hesitate a little, as if he didn't know what to say, and finally said: "Accordingly, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I know Brother Wu, and I'm from the same hometown, so I might as well tell Brother Wu a little bit, but it's from me, it's in your ears, it's over, you must not say that I said it, I don't want to cause any trouble, otherwise my brothers and sisters will have to stay away, and won't see Brother Wu again."

"Brother Tao thinks I'm a talkative person?" Wu Tiannan glanced at Tao Yan'er, patted his chest and assured him: "Brother Tao, it's okay to say, I will never implicate Brother Tao."

Tao Yan'er glanced lightly at Lu Shengzhong, not knowing what he was going to do.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Shengzhong said slowly: "Although I don't know much about the affairs of Beizhou, I do know a little about the affairs of the cultivation world. There was a nursery rhyme about the king of Beizhou before. I wonder if Brother Wu has heard of it?"

Wu Tiannan repeatedly said: "Of course I have heard that this matter is obviously aimed at the eldest son, but everyone only dares to discuss it in secret, not openly. Could it be related to this matter?"

Lu Shengzhong nodded, and asked again: "Brother Wu, have you ever heard of Tang Yi, the head of the Shangqing Sect?"

Wu Tiannan chuckled, and then seemed to feel that it was too insignificant in front of Tao Yan'er, he put away his smile, nodded and said: "I heard, I heard that the eldest son likes this head to show his love repeatedly."

Lu Shengzhong: "That's the problem. This Tang Yi is a married woman. Her husband's name is Niu Youdao. She is also a practitioner. She is the entourage of the mage next to King Yongping of Yan State. He is also a capable person. Is it a trivial matter to take away his wife? Because of this, Niu Youdao and Shao Pingbo got involved. The rumor came from Niu Youdao.

Wu Tiannan was dumbfounded and relaxed when he heard the story of the Ice and Snow Pavilion incident that was arranged but not far from the truth. He would never have the chance to hear such things. For him, the Ice and Snow Pavilion is far away from the sky, and it can almost be regarded as a place where gods gather.

Tao Yan'er remained silent, but her mood was complicated. She had a feeling that she was looking for nothing.

She couldn't figure out what Lu Shengzhong was going to do, but she realized that Lu Shengzhong finally showed his hideous face today...

Leaving here, Wu Tiannan, who was walking on the street, was worried about gain and loss. He knew that a huge opportunity was in front of him, but he was a little afraid to get involved in this kind of thing.

After hesitating again and again, Wu Tiannan clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, and strode away...

Outside Beizhou Governor's Mansion, Wu Tiannan waited for a long time. Someone came out from the door and greeted him before the guard let him in.

In a corner of the street, Lu Shengzhong, who was secretly watching all the way, saw it with his own eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up. He was planning to let Tao Yaner marry him as a lure condition, but it seemed that it would not be necessary. This guy Wu Tiannan was more 'savvy' than he imagined.

Lu Shengzhong turned around quickly and left, came to a restaurant in a street, went in and asked for a jar of wine, a piece of paper folded into small pieces, slipped it into a clerk's hand by surprise, and then walked away with the wine.

When he returned home, he brought back a carriage.

Jumping out of the carriage, pushing the door and entering, went straight to the bedroom, walked to Tao Yan'er who was lying quietly on the couch, pointed to her, and released the restraint on her body, and said indifferently to Tao Yan'er who got up: "Let's go!"

After a while, the two brothers and sisters went out, Tao Yan'er got into the carriage, and Lu Shengzhong drove away, all the way out of the city...

In the Governor's Mansion, Wu Tiannan waited in a hall for a long time, only to see brothers Shao Wubo and Shao Fubo arriving slowly.

The two brothers looked at Wu Tiannan with some distaste in their eyes, thinking that this guy was a little ignorant, and knowing each other is acquaintance, is the governor's mansion a place you can come to casually?

If it wasn't for hearing that there was a great gift, the two brothers wouldn't let him enter the mansion at all.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master." Wu Tiannan nodded and bowed there.

The two brothers sat down in the hall, Shao Wubo remained silent, Shao Fubo raised his eyebrows and said: "Didn't you say the important ceremony? Where is the important ceremony?"

Wu Tiannan looked at the servants at the door, hesitantly said: "It's no small thing to be respectful, the two young masters..."

Shao Fubo waved his hand impatiently, and asked the servants to step back, "Can you take it out now?"
