After a change of thought, he said angrily: "Master Zhao has really found a good subordinate. When you see Uncle Qin, you don't even come down to see him face to face."

"Haha, you are a young man. It's normal to be a little arrogant." Although he said it in an understatement, the fleeting shadow between his eyebrows showed that the old man's mood was not as indifferent as he said.

Isn’t it just a matter of showing off when you go out?

It's a bit too much to throw face away like this. Although Qin Yuxuan made it clear that he threw Tang Yun over as a pathfinder, he is a big shot and he is targeting you to give you face. Who do you think you are?

It's hard to hear, but it's undoubtedly true.

Neither Qin Yuxuan nor Zhao Yi took Tang Yun seriously. In their eyes... this guy was just a pawn, and there would be plenty of replacements if he died.

Uncle Qin was secretly angry, but after years of ups and downs, he still kept a calm expression on his face. He silently watched Tang Yun leave the scene behind him. He suddenly turned around and mounted his horse: "Master, let's go. It's business to catch up with the young lady as soon as possible."

"

"Tang Yun is really going too far." Qiu Dingyue was still indignant. He glanced at the other party's face from the corner of his eye from time to time, and his mood suddenly improved a bit.

Because Uncle Qin's impression of Tang Yun is getting worse and worse, and Uncle Qin represents Qin Yuxuan, so the worse he makes Tang Yun miserable, the more satisfied he will be with Uncle Qin...

——

Qiu family.

As a well-known big family here, there are people in the court to ensure safety, so naturally they sit firmly in the position of the leader of Longyang County. Although they are only one of the major forces, they still have a lot of say.

A long time ago, Qin Yuxuan worked in Longyang County. At that time, Qiu Dashang had many contacts with him, and the entanglement of interests was very deep.

It was precisely thanks to the Qiu family's planning that Qin Yuxuan accumulated enough political achievements. With the operation of the Qin family's connections, he was transferred from Longyang County and Qingyun returned to the capital.

Later, Qin Yuxuan returned the favor and paved the way for the Qiu family. It took thirty years for his ally Qiu Dashang to also go to the capital and establish a firm foothold.

This is an unclear network of interests, and once this thing becomes complicated to a certain extent, it will evolve into a new name - friendship.

Qin Yuxuan's generation is already quite old, so as to prevent the two families from drifting apart, the marriage between Qiu Dingyue and Qin Yuanxue is a new bond between the two families.

After Qiu Dingyue's letter was circulated among the Qiu family, everyone had some plans in mind.

To be fair, is this Tang Yun's fault?

of course not.

If it weren't for Qin Yuanxue's unintentional act, then Tang Yun would be the pawn who came to pave the way on behalf of Zhao Yi. The Qiu family could even help Qin Yuxuan a little for Qin Yuxuan's sake.

But now.

Qin Yuanxue is one of his own after all. If one of his own makes a mistake, can it be called a mistake?

At most, he is young, ignorant and naughty.

So we can only throw the blame on Tang Yun and kill this guy.

The woman coughed lightly and said calmly: "I'm just a little pawn. How can I raise an army and mobilize a large number of people? I don't know if I think there is no one in my Qiu family."

The man opposite said: "Qiu Yueyuan, you seem to be thinking too simply. The key is not Tang Yun, but that he and Xiaoxue are together."

Qiu Yueming rolled her eyes and answered the question without thinking: "Just find a reason to distract her. Besides, Ding Yue has already sent a letter, saying that he will catch up with them and take Xiaoxue away in advance."

The few people in the middle looked at each other, and one of them laughed and said: "Tang Yun is easy to handle, the key point is how to use this person to kick Wang Xin out.

When Zhao Yi comes here, you will join forces with him to make another contribution, and then people from the capital will open up the relationship, and a cyclical situation will naturally form.

If it succeeds, not only will it not affect the plans of the Qin family and the Qiu family, it will also further benefit us, killing two birds with one stone."

Qiu Yuemiao looked at the young man with a look of helplessness on his face: "But Wang Xin is not easy to handle."

Hearing this, several people laughed and said, "Don't forget, in Wang Xin's eyes, the people standing behind Tang Yun are Zhao Yi, Qin Yuxuan, and... us."

Qiu Yueming suddenly understood, her solemnity gradually disappeared, and she smiled: "So as long as you follow the trend, Wang Xin will take the initiative to kill Tang Yun.

There’s no need to rush this process, since Zhao Yi still has a year to come, we can gradually add to Wang Xin’s problems, and we just have to master this speed.”

The young man smiled and said, "It's really a good way to achieve multiple goals with one stone."

No one noticed that when the young man spoke, the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched, and the veins were bulging.

Yangzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Yunlu sent away the last guest with a smile, finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the house.

His son Zhao Xing handed over the tea with some confusion and asked: "Father, why do you want to deal with the Chamber of Commerce? We have just established a foothold here."

The smile on Zhao Yunlu's face gradually faded. He took the tea cup and took a sip. He didn't want to say more: "You are still young and don't understand."

Unexpectedly, the son who was obedient in the past was like a persistent little tree. He didn't move even half a step and said loudly: "It's because the child doesn't understand that I asked. I don't want to become a reckless man who only knows how to practice."

.”

"You really want to know?" Zhao Yunlu was stunned for a moment, touching his son's eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he asked him to sit down.

Zhao Xing nodded without hesitation: "I think."

Zhao Yunlu said calmly: "Then let me tell you, we have to leave because Tang Yun left."

"Why? I heard that Mr. Zhao just sent him out for a trip, and he will come back sooner or later." Zhao Xing was a little confused and asked to get to the bottom of it.

Zhao Yunlu said: "He will not come back. He will either die or soar into the sky. What's the point of coming back to a place like Yangzhou Mansion?"

At this time, a soft chuckle like a silver bell suddenly came from outside the house: "Do you think he will die there, or fly to the sky?"

Zhao Yunlu said subconsciously: "I prefer the latter."

Then, he suddenly reacted and looked up at the source of the sound.

But I saw a beautiful woman wearing a black skirt and a small coat coming in. Her skin was like gelatin, which could be broken by blowing a blow. She had an oval face with willow eyebrows and a charming face. She would not say that she would be the king of a country, but she was not far off.

.

"Who are you?" Zhao Yunlu frowned and stood up, looking outside.

"Don't worry, they didn't find me."

Tang Yanyue found a seat and sat down with a smile, her eyes swept over the two of them, and finally stopped on Zhao Yunlu's face: "Tell me, are you planning to find Tang Yun?"

"Yes." Zhao Yunlu vaguely felt the cold breath coming from the other party's body, and his expression became more solemn.

Tang Yanyue took a sip of tea and frowned: "How about you take me for a ride?"

Zhao Yunlu asked hesitantly: "You and your Excellency..."

"I said we were friends, do you believe it?" Tang Yanyue raised her eyebrows and interrupted him with a smile.

"..." Zhao Yunlu looked away from her and nodded without conscience: "Believe it."

Believe it or not.

Could this woman be the love debt Tang Yun incurred?

On the other hand, Zhao Xing, who was silent, looked suspicious, as if he had noticed something, but was a little unsure.

official ~

Looking at the towering city not far away, Li Xiao said softly: "Sir, we are here."

Tang Yun opened the curtain and his eyes fell on the three huge words, his eyes filled with undisguised passion: "It is said that dragons and snakes are mixed together in Longyang County, which can be described as extremely chaotic.

The total number of big and small forces is no less than dozens, and there are only ten or twenty of them who can reach the stage. This is different from the backwaters of Yangzhou Prefecture, so there will be something to play in the future."

Li Xiao asked: "Sir, which door should we enter through?"

This kind of county town has seven gates on one side, and the three middle ones are closed and will not be opened except for war.

The other four are also strictly classified. For example, merchants go to the far left, ordinary people enter from the second left, scholars and scholars enter from the first right, and officials enter from the second right.

In order, there is no chaos.

The main reason for this division is that it is easy to distinguish. It prevents the soldiers guarding the city from making blind moves, provoking the wrong people, and making a mess.

Tang Yun raised his chin to the second person on the right and said with a smile: "Of course, enter through the door you should enter."

With the Qiu family's intelligence network, it is absolutely easy to find out his whereabouts. There is no point in hiding his identity. On the contrary, it weakens his momentum.

Although Tang Yun had the intention to be stubborn, he would never start cheating without seeing him in person. Whoever is smart must at least fight in the ring first to know, right?

The horses neighed and the hoofbeats sounded crisply, pulling the carriage slowly towards the second city gate on the right. The emblem of the Zhenwu Pavilion on the carriage was extremely eye-catching, shining with a dazzling dark gold in the sun.

When the token was taken out, the soldiers naturally did not dare to stop it. After putting the carriage in, a soldier's eyes darkened, he found an excuse to ask someone to take his place, and hurried towards Qiu's house.

Tang Yun told them calmly: "You guys stay in this inn first, and I'll go to Zhenwu Pavilion."

"Yes, sir." Xiaoyun responded quickly.

According to the regulations, Tang Yun had to go to Zhenwu Pavilion to report as soon as possible. This was a business matter that could not be delayed.

What's more, he is very curious about the situation in Longyang County. He needs to understand it from all directions, without blind spots, and in a 360-degree spiral.

…

"He's arrived?"

"so slow!"
