Chapter 725 Someone Is Watching
Gong Liangliao's face gradually darkened, and he did not answer Liu Ji's question immediately.
He picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, finished his dinner, took the handkerchief handed by Liu Ji and wiped the corners of his mouth, then he began to analyze:
"He must want to lead you into the court and involve you in the muddy water of Kyoto. Yao Niang can't be alone. You'd better not fall into his evil plan."
Gong Liangliao remembered something and asked Liu Ji: "Has your wife been to the Princess's Mansion?"
Liu Ji nodded first, then asked in surprise: "Teacher, how do you know?"
The old man has never left Puyuan, but he is so well-informed!
Gong Liangliao laughed at himself. He didn't want to know, but Si Kongjian had to come to him every day to talk about it. I'm afraid he doesn't know the current situation in Kyoto.
But there is no need to tell San'er about this.
"Don't worry about how I know this. Just go back and tell your wife that if you have to join a sect, neither the princess nor the prince are good candidates."
Liu Ji asked nervously, "Who should you join?"
Aren't the princess and the prince fighting now? Who else can you join?
Gong Liangliao didn't answer, and reminded, "Don't contact Si Kongjian or the Black Cavalry before the case of Prince Feng is decided."
Liu Ji: "Why?"
"You don't need to know." It's useless to know.
Gong Liangliao didn't have any hope for his little apprentice's brain. There's no need to let him worry about it.
As for why, of course, it's because Qin Yao is the only one in Kyoto who can deal with the master beside the Holy Queen.
Gong Liangliao waved his hand, "It's getting late, go home quickly, don't keep your wife waiting for a long time."
Watching Liu Ji scratching his head and leaving with a puzzled look, Gong Liangliao retracted his gaze and looked up at the small sky above his head, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and deeper.
He now couldn't understand what Si Kongjian was going to do more and more.
The previous incident with Wusheng made him realize that Sikong Jian had another master, but now he was ready to suppress the case of Prince Feng with all his strength.
Which side did this man stand on?
Was he standing in the middle?
Gong Liangliao sighed lightly, took out the counting sticks, and decided to count the chips of both sides and confirm it again.
The result was - count the balls, I won't live long, do whatever you want!
Because he stayed in Puyuan for a while, when Liu Ji returned home, dinner was already on the table.
It was a good time to come. After a simple wash and change into light clothes, it was just right to eat at the table.
The children excitedly talked about the grand occasion of the delegation they saw in the teahouse today. While eating, they asked the person involved what it felt like to have his father take charge of welcoming the delegation.
Liu Ji: "Ups and downs, dangers everywhere, step by step, as if walking on thin ice."
The four brothers and sisters were stunned: Huh?
Liu Ji looked at the four similar stupid faces, sighed and shook his head, pretending to be deeply moved:
"The world of adults is far more complicated than what you see. Learn slowly, and you will understand it when you grow up."
Erlang immediately turned his face away and looked at Qin Yao with respect.
A mother is still good. She never said that they would understand it when they grow up. She always answered questions. If she couldn't answer, she would not fool them, but lead them to find the answer together.
Da Lang looked at his father, "Perfunctory."
The twins nodded heavily and strongly agreed.
Liu Ji was immediately angry and raised his hand to make a slap. Suddenly, the four little ones immediately became honest, finished dinner quickly, and went back to their rooms to make up their homework.
I played all day today. If I don't work harder, I will be miserable when facing the teacher's questions tomorrow.
Seeing the children leave the table, Liu Ji immediately moved to Qin Yao's side and told her about the small conflict with Si Kongjian this afternoon and Gong Liangliao's warning.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. Gong Liangliao's instructions sounded a bit contradictory.
'If you have to join a sect, neither the princess nor the prince are good candidates.'
Do you think she will definitely choose to join a faction?
'Before the case of Prince Feng is decided, do not contact Sikong Jian or the people of the Black Cavalry.'
Is it possible to contact anyone other than them?
Liu Ji was very anxious, "My wife, I don't want to wade into muddy waters. I just want to take good care of my teacher in his old age."
His life now is so comfortable, he eats well, drinks well, and wears well, and no one dares to bully him.
He just waits for the next spring imperial examination, and with the help of his teacher, he can pass the exam and get a second-rank Jinshi, and get a seventh- or eighth-rank official to enjoy himself. He doesn't care about going to the Honglu Temple to serve the ghost King Chan.
Liu Ji had to admit that Sikong Jian's brain was indeed better than his.
Not only did he not have the right to refuse the other courtyard, but he couldn't mess it up, so he could only do it well.
Once it is done, others will think that it was Sikong Jian who promoted him, and he owed Sikong Jian a favor.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
"My wife, what do you think I should do?" Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao who was lost in thought for help.
Qin Yao came back to her senses after a while, as if she had an idea in her mind.
"You don't want to be unsuccessful, but you can be blameless. Don't think too much. Sikong Jian doesn't think much of you, a small follower."
Sikong Jian was plotting against her.
Liu Ji felt so sour in his heart that he responded with "Oh."
He thought to himself, why not ask Awang to get some poison and poison Sikong Jian to death.
His little thoughts were written on his face. Qin Yao saw through it at a glance and raised her hand to point to the backyard: "You are so idle, go and tutor Sanlang's homework."
Liu Ji snorted, and dared not resist. He honestly picked up a small stick, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to be a majestic old teacher, and went to the backyard.
"Is there still no news from the Wang family?" Qin Yao asked Yin Le who was chopping wood in the yard.
Yin Le has been visiting the Wang family frequently recently. The old lady of the Wang family always asks her to go over and do needlework together and chat. Every day, she either gossips with neighbors at the fruit stall at the corner of the alley or stays at the Wang family to eat and drink.
Of course, she did not forget her master and brought her many snacks made by the old lady of the Wang family, which were delicious.
"No." Yin Le shook her head. "I have noticed these days. The old lady sends people to the city gate every day to check, and there is not even a letter."
"But the old lady is kind and says that no news is good news. It seems that she has gotten used to it."
Qin Yao thought to herself that it was not okay to not get used to it. Wang Jin's position was easy to offend people. He was doing a job that put his head on the waist of his pants. If the family members were not in a good mood, they would not be able to live.
After asking Yin Le to keep paying attention, Qin Yao was about to get up and go to the well to fish watermelon to eat, when Awang suddenly appeared.
What's wrong? Qin Yao asked with her eyes.
Awang pointed to the alley opposite the front door with a serious expression, "Someone is watching our house."
Qin Yao's heart trembled, and she winked at Yin Le.
Yin Le understood, immediately put down the axe in his hand, picked up a bucket of used dirty water, and went out the door.
"Splash" a bucket of water was poured into the ditch in front of the door. Taking advantage of the time to pour the water, she quickly observed the surrounding situation and saw a head that quickly retracted at the opposite alley.
She quickly suppressed her surprise and picked up the empty bucket and returned to the yard. (End of this chapter)
