Oracle of Terra

When he was young, he studied with him in the palace, and he could be regarded as a member of the royal family. Since he was a child, he liked and admired someone, but because the person he admired did a ridiculous thing, so he liked it. The person, followed that person all the way and left, and he also left, all the way to the border of Dayan, all the way lost what he thought in his heart, the things he longed for, the things he fancyed, were all like this entry. The wine in the throat is ordinary, bitter and dry.

And in the end, like a walking dead, he returned to the capital. He originally thought he would die, but the current emperor, a former classmate, allowed him to be an official and let him live an idle life, but he didn't. Know whether you are living or dead.

"Master Ning, what's the matter?"

"It's about that Longmen guy, or rather, about that guy's niece."

After the man heard this, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, but immediately became cloudy again, like a pool of stagnant water.

"It has nothing to do with me. Even today, there is no need to test me."

"I don't dare to speculate too much about your Majesty's suspicions, but before now, Master Jingzhe, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, brought back an interesting piece of news, which made His Majesty very concerned."

"News? Is there any news that His Majesty cares about? Is it that the one from the Longmen is planning to raise his troops, or is it the incarnation of the two year old beasts that you lost?"

"................."

The man's sharp words made Ning Ciqiu speechless for a while, and she remembered that this person who used to be in the capital was also a person with good hands and eyes, and many connections. Although those connections and some relationships were still useful, he didn't intend to Use it again, but now it seems that some things will still reach his ears.

"The incarnation of the Sui Beast, although our Ministry of Rites also has part of the authority, it is still the task of Si Sui Tai. What I want to talk about is about the niece of Longmen. I heard that Duke Wei betrothed her to someone."

"................................"

The man's expression was a little dull, but it changed back immediately.

"Who?"

"A man named Lin Xinian. Of course, I used my own method to investigate. This man is a bit suspicious and I can't find any trace."

"That's a blindfold, so His Majesty is interested in a man who can't be traced?"

"No, what His Majesty is interested in is the wedding of his niece, and by the way let that lady come to Beijing to enjoy the glory and wealth."

"Prosperity and wealth...with your hands tied and your son as a pledge?"

Ning Ciqiu felt a pressure. This blue-haired man who looked a bit downcast seemed like a burning flame at the moment.

"You worry too much, but this time, His Majesty intends to hold the wedding in the capital. Although it doesn't need to be solemn, as a family member, I hope Lord Chen will be there."

"I see. If you have nothing to do, please leave Master Ning, Mr. Chen, I still want to be quiet."

"It's annoying."

Ning Ciqiu saluted, then left the box and returned to the car parked under the restaurant.

And the precious wine vessel in the hands of the man sitting on the edge of the balcony also turned into shards.

"Wei Gong, Wei Gong, why do you want her to swim in this muddy water?"

His right hand was full of wine and blood, but it was painful, but it had long been unable to revive his dead heart.

——At the same time · Longmen

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stay still. To be honest, uncle, I am a little bit old, but I am not as good at sports as young people."

The sloppily dressed man pressed his hat and looked at the desperate smugglers in front of him. His friend was far away in Shangshu and entrusted him with a job. Although the content was suspicious, it was an old friend's entrustment after all. He didn't make any suspicions, but in fact, he still felt a little troublesome after getting started.

The smugglers from the inside of Dayan had to pass through Longmen to go abroad, and start their smuggling business towards Ursus. Of course, it is not so easy to escape from the local area of ​​Longmen.

What's more, he has a group of reliable young people.

"I said uncle, are the things these guys guard really that valuable?"

"Ghost knows, don't ask me, I just accepted the entrustment, and ah, remember to be careful when you start, you got that person into the hospital by you last time and lay down for three months before he can go to the ground normally."

"Hey, isn't that the wrong dose? I just wanted a slight anesthesia."

"Don't make a mistake this time, otherwise I don't want to carry people to the Guard Bureau."

"Anyway, it's Hum and Sister Huaihu who are contributing. Why are you complaining, uncle?"

"Isn't this for the sake of the physical strength of the employees?"

The two chatted like no one else was there, and the blocked smuggler naturally couldn't ignore this situation.

"You two!? Think I don't exist?!"

This tall film man looked powerful, but his whole body was covered with bruises visible to the naked eye, as if he was constantly rolling, crawling and falling all over the place.

"Sorry, sorry, I chatted a little too much with my kid, I didn't estimate your mood, but comrade smuggler, it's time to get caught and hand over the goods? To be honest, I don't want you to become this bad guy Although the kid's test product won't die, but he can't get out of bed for a month or two, the feeling of incontinence shouldn't be too good, right?"

"you?!"

Hearing the sloppy man's description, the smuggler's face was a little cloudy.

"Stop talking nonsense with this guy, uncle, hurry up and clean up, I have to go back to watch the emotional theater in the evening."

"Oh, that's right, [The Temptation of Returning to the City] is about to start broadcasting."

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

In the end, the humiliated and furious smuggler could only charge towards the two of them with a long knife in his hand, but at that moment, a copper coin fell on his forehead.

"what?"

The balance was lost, and then the flying needle with the special medicine pierced the body surface.

"Well, I hope the cargo is all right."

Looking at the smuggler lying stiff on the ground, the scruffy man in the hat touched him, and finally found his target product - a wine cup, which seemed to have a pattern of some kind of beast painted on it.

"This is the goods. Is there anything magical about it? Uncle."

"Who knows, this thing is obviously the least valuable thing in which batch of antiques, but it's being carried around by this guy. It's very strange in itself."

Looking at the black wine cup, Lao Li, the director of Li's Detective Agency, wiped it casually and put it in his pocket.

"In short, the work is over, just throw this guy at the gate of the Guard Bureau."

"Then come on your own, I'm going back to watch the emotional theater."

"Ah? Wait, brat, you just threw things at me... you ran so fast."

Looking at the office staff who ran away in a flash, the slovenly-looking director of the detective agency also scratched his head helplessly, and when he was about to help the man up like this, he stopped.

"I said, everyone is not at home watching TV at night, why do you have to come and find me, a poor detective?"

It was a shadow, or a person, wearing a black poncho in a dark alley, shrouded in it, and it was hard to imagine how this person could see his surroundings clearly.

"Wei Gong welcomes you, Mr. Li."

"Can I not go?"

"Then I'm afraid I can only be rude."

"It's worth it...I'll go, I'll go! Don't do it yourself? Really, why is it that the prefect of Shangshu entrusted me to find antiques, and the governor of Longmen asked me for something, trouble, really trouble."

Old Li glanced at the smuggler lying on the ground.

"I said Mr. Shadow Guard, he..."

"We will deal with it ourselves. As for how to deal with it, sir, you don't have to ask."

"Ok."

After psychologically offering incense to the smuggler, Lao Li followed all the way to the highest level of the Longmen Guard Bureau.

"Welcome, Mr. Li."

"I said, Chief Wei, why can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"

Looking at the majestic and energetic tall dragon man in front of him, who was completely incomparable to himself, Lao Li's tail swayed slightly, looking a little at a loss.

"Tomorrow, I'm afraid Mr. Li will go to Shangshu."

"Ah this..."

Old Li involuntarily glanced at his pocket, he really didn't know what kind of rare item this wine cup was, or was it troublesome?

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'm not interested in the things in your pocket. That thing is a trouble, and I don't want to provoke it yet."

"Uh...can I ask what the trouble is?"

"Go and ask Mr. Liang who entrusted you with the work. I won't reveal too much. In other words, the less I know, the better."

"It doesn't sound like peace."

Lao Li suddenly felt a little thirsty, and at this time he couldn't help but think of a convenient guy, a convenient friend who can basically handle most things clearly with seven hundred Longmen coins, but it's a pity that the other party has gone Ursus is in office.

"This time Mr. Li is invited to come here because of some personal matters of mine."

"Private affairs...Although private detectives will always engage in some more personal commissions, I don't think my small temple can accommodate Mr. Wei's private affairs, right?"

The old carp could only smell a whiff of trouble.

"It's not a difficult task. Mr. Li's commission to go to Shangshu is the same. I want to ask you to send something to a local person in Shangshu."

"Who?"

"A potter named Bai, here are the things."

Wei Yanwu took out a rolled painting as he spoke.

"Uh... send calligraphy and painting?"

"Well, that potter can be regarded as an old friend of mine. I always send some things over during festivals. Although I was supposed to visit the door in person, I have been unable to do so recently, so I can only ask Mr. Li to bring this I went to the painting and calligraphy."

"It...it doesn't matter, where does the white potter live?"

"You can ask the prefect of Shangshu, your classmate, Mr. Liang."

"Why do I think this is going to be another trouble?"

Old Li looked at the calligraphy and painting in his hands with some hesitation, and weighed them, but it was indeed just a calligraphy and painting.

"Just send the painting, and no one will bother you halfway."

"I'll take it as it is."

Putting the scroll inside his coat, Old Li scratched his head.

"Mr. Wei, are you really going to be all right?"

"will not."

"I'm leaving."

No tea, no snacks, Lao Li is eager to leave this place where it is difficult to breathe, and return to his warm office to enjoy a short leisure time.

After Lao Li left, Wei Yanwu sat back at his desk, looking at the letter he didn't really want to read.

"Still worried?"

"Wen Yue....Yeah, he is still distressed, he wants me to compromise, or he wants 'peace of mind'."

"So, do you want him to 'peace of mind'? Yanwu, just let Xiao Chen pass by like this?"

"How could it be, but this letter involves another person. Without him, this letter itself is just a declaration, announcing the final time limit. If it is within this period, that man will not come to Longmen , then, it's time for me to fight."

"Then the painting that Director Li just sent?"

"The man gave it to me, the incarnation of the Sui Beast. Although I have heard of some connections between Si Suitai and them before, I didn't expect that woman to be the incarnation of the Sui Beast. If so, I can understand him How those achievements were achieved."

"But Yanwu, ascending to the throne with the power of the year beast is definitely not the right way."

"Are you trying to persuade me?"

"No, I'm just telling you that even if it's not the right way, we have no choice now."

"Yes, but it's not completely impossible to retreat. At least with Talula around, Huijie should be safe. As for whether Master Tian is willing to help me, that's another matter."

Under the night of Longmen, the road is constantly extending, but the messenger who shoulders all this, the man named Li, still doesn't understand what kind of curtain will be unveiled on his delivery mission.

But at this moment, as another protagonist of this drama, our Mr. Te is falling into his own endless hell.

"White teeth, white teeth...I feel that I have no meaning to live."

The amount of the deposit was almost only three digits left, and Telles Kasdale fell into the first money shortage since he became the Duke's staff unexpectedly.

In the past, he obviously had surplus money sent to Longmen to honor the elderly every month, but now, in addition to the savings in Sochi Bank that will automatically knock down Longmen every month, his savings in Casimir have bottomed out .

And they all turned into beautiful clothes and shoes for women and some nice eye-catching products, is it worth it?Of course worth it!But this does not mean that Telles will feel that his current situation is considered good.

"Do you want money from the Mao Chamber of Commerce..."

Telles thought about it, the small coffers of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce should be several hundred times richer than his own, right?There shouldn't be any retribution for taking a little bit by yourself, right?

Anyway, what's theirs is theirs...
