C163 reason of absent-mindedness

Just as Gongsun Ze Tian was bringing Leng Nuohan and Lan Er back to the Situ Family's residence, Wu Daode's convoy wasn't too far away from the decimetine.

The decimetine in the south of Fengyang City City was constructed on a flat spot on a high ground. The pavilion was not big, and could fit five to six people.

The reason why the pavilion was built so high up in the sky was probably to send friends to send off their wives. Only by standing high up in the sky would one be able to send people farther away and stare at him for a longer period of time.

"Outside of the pavilion, by the ancient path, the grass and grass are as clear as the sky." Perhaps only this kind of mood could be compatible with the sadness and desolation one would feel when sending a friend away.

To reach this pavilion, there was only one road leading up to it. Other than this road, the other areas were all steep soil slopes, and these steep hills were impossible for the horses. The goods could not go up and down from them, and the only route was through a gentle slope.

When Wu Daode and his men drove the carriage to the flat ground of decimetine, they found dozens of black clothed people with bamboo hats and long blades by their waists already waiting for them at decimetine.

There was only one person sitting in the pavilion, and the others were all around protecting him. Wu Daode knew that this person was the Duke.

Wu Daode let the merchants who accompanied him to wait at the bottom of the slope. Without permission, no one was allowed to come up. But he still kept Qian Jincheng.

After Wu Daode dismissed the crowd that was not related to him, he walked towards the pavilion. On the way, Wu Daode noticed that the gazes of the black-clothed people would drift towards him from time to time. Although they did not obstruct him, the feeling of being watched by others really gave him a creepy feeling.

"Sir!" I am honored! " Wu Daode came to the side of the small pavilion, but did not enter, and instead bowed and said.

"Sir Wu, you were almost late!" The seated person did not stand up, and spoke to Wu Daode arrogantly.

"My apologies, I've waited for a long time, but there was a bit of trouble in the city just now. Fortunately, it was a good thing that it was not dangerous." Wu Daode felt a chill in his heart as he explained.

"No one noticed?" The one who was sitting upright asked.

"No!" Wu Daode bowed and replied respectfully.

"Sir Wu sure has some skills!" Sitting upright, he revealed a smile for the first time and praised.

"There is no need for that. I still need the help of Your Highness and the Prince. I hope that I can return to my original position as soon as possible!" Wu Daode said while laughing, because this was also a part of their transaction.

"Sir Wu, please calm down! This matter is not urgent, nor can it be rushed! " Only then did the man in the pavilion get up, and walked to Wu Daode's side, and patted his shoulder as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, this subordinate knows!" Wu Daode was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and repeatedly nodded as he replied.

"Have you brought all the silver?" The man nodded his head in satisfaction and asked as he looked at the dozens of carriages in the distance.

"All here! There's absolutely no mistake or mistake! " Wu Daode pointed to the cars filled with silver and said.

"Hmm, not bad. How much can this box cost?" The man nodded his head again, and asked Wu Daode who was at the side.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver per box for a total of twenty-five boxes. Adding them together, the total is five hundred thousand taels of silver. Please check!" Wu Daode immediately led the man forward, and opened his mouth to report in detail.

"That's good too, we can't stay here for too long, I need to hurry up and do some things for the prince!" As he spoke, he walked towards the convoy that was filled with silver taels.

"According to our agreement, this..." Wu Daode quickly stopped him, and seeing that the other person was looking at him with a puzzled expression, Wu Daode felt a little embarrassed as he said this to the other person.

"Yes, I know. First, you have to clarify my identity. This is the letter you exchanged with the Prince. You can use it as proof. Sir Wu, you can read it." That person had a sudden realization. For a transaction with such a large amount of silver, the King could not personally come here, and other people would not be able to prove the identity of the other party, so this method was set by the Duke in advance and approved by Wu Daode. Otherwise, if all his previous promises were to be annulled, the Prince would have to pretend that he had not received the silver before.

"Thank you, master!" Wu Daode took the letter, and bowed to the man once again.

Wu Daode did not care about that man anymore as he continued walking towards the carriage. He was only checking the contents of every letter and his own notes, these letters were all from him to the Duke, and he had already preserved all of them, so he was afraid that the Duke would take some silver and not do anything for him.

He had yet to kill Qian Jincheng, and one of the reasons was because he still had a few things he needed to take care of, and the other thing was that he was afraid that the Duke would kill him to silence him, so he kept Qian Jincheng, and the locations of those few letters, other than himself, belonged to his trusted aide.

Wu Daode thought that if the King sent people to kill him and take away his five hundred thousand, then the Master Qian would be able to deliver all those letters to the Surveillance Council. If these letters were to be obtained by the Surveillance Council, even if he had the noble identity of a Duke, at that time, even if he didn't die, he would still be skinned off.

And at this time, within the Situ Family, Gongsun Ze Tian and Leng Nuohan had already returned to their temporary residence. The two did not go to the front hall to greet guests, but had instead returned to Gongsun Ze Tian's bedroom.

"Qiong Yu, what you did today was really disappointing me. You shouldn't have made such a serious mistake!" Gongsun Ze Tian's words were sharp. Although it was not an insult, it was clear what he meant by reprimand.

For the usually gentle and refined Gongsun Zaitian, this tone indicated that he was extremely angry.

"This subordinate deserves to die, please punish me!" Qiong Yu said as she knelt on one knee, looking like she was willing to accept the punishment.

"Did you know that you almost ruined the whole plan today because of your mistake?" Gongsun Ze Tian's anger did not decrease as he retorted with a question.

"This subordinate deserves to die!" Qiong Yu changed to one knee on the ground, then both knees.

"Damn it, damn it! You just know how to say damn it! Did you really summarize why this happened today? " Gongsun Ze Tian was extremely angry, he had a kind of hatred for Qiong Yu.

"I ?" Qiong Yu wanted to say that he deserved to die, but she just started off and could not finish her sentence.

If there was anyone in the world who was worthy of her giving her life and all of her life, it would be Gongsun Zedong. If one were to say that Qiong Yu only wanted to avoid disappointment in this world, it would be Gongsun Zaitian.

It was not because Qiong Yu fell in love with Gongsun Ze Tian, but because when Qiong Yu had nothing left to live for, there was still someone who could pull him out of that thirty thousand feet of quagmire. Just when she was about to die from grief and indignation, she told herself that she could restore her appearance. When she was feeling helpless and indecisive, she would tell him the reason he wanted to help him take revenge!

Qiong Yu felt that she wasn't the most pitiful person in her life. At the very least, she had met him, and even though he was still a child, Qiong Yu had never treated him as a child. She had always treated him as her teacher in life, and she had a feeling that as long as she followed by his side, he would bring her to a completely different world. Perhaps that was the place she had always wanted to find, but could not find the way.

"Alright, Wu Chi, let's end it here. There's no point in talking any further. I think Sister Qiong Yu must know what she did wrong!" Leng Nuohan consoled them from the side.

"Sigh, enough, I'm too lazy to blame you. Your illusion class will begin tomorrow, this time if you study hard, I will cripple you if I find that you're not studying hard!" Do you understand? " Hearing Leng Nuohan's words, Gongsun Ze Tian calmed his mind and said.

"This subordinate understands, and thanks Pavilion Master!" Qiong Yu was especially happy when she heard that Gongsun Ze Tian was willing to teach her illusions. She had actually thought that they would drag it out until they went to the Capital.

"Alright, hurry up and rest!" Gongsun Ze Tian shook his head and told Qiong Yu.

"Yes, Pavilion Master. Oh right, this letter was obtained from Qian Jincheng's description! " Just as he was about to get up, Qiong Yu once again knelt on one knee, with both hands presenting a bunch of letters, he handed them over to Gongsun Ze Tian.

"Oh? The efficiency of this matter was not bad! Alright, let's go and rest. Leave the letter here, I'll take a look first! " Gongsun Ztian took the letter but did not immediately open it. Instead, he indifferently threw the letter to the side and continued instructing.

The reason why these letters were treated slowly was not because they were unimportant, but because they did not have much use at this stage. However, once the time was ripe, these letters would become the last straw that would overwhelm the camel. Not yet.

"Yes, Pavilion Master, your subordinate will take his leave." Qiong Yu turned and left.

Qiong Yu was unlike Qiu Canghai, who lived in the Listening Rain Pavilion. Because she had to be in charge of Gongsun Ze Tian's safety and related intelligence, she lived in the Situ Family.

"This woman ?" Watching Qiong Yu turn around and leave, Gongsun Ze Tian sighed and said.

"What's wrong?" Leng Nuohan asked suspiciously.

"Don't you think she has something on her mind?" Gongsun Ztian said.

"Mm, I've found out. She doesn't want to say it, and you don't have to force her. I think that moment of absent-mindedness might be related to someone." Leng Nuohan pondered for a moment, before replying.

"What did you see?" Gongsun Ze Tian's brows were knitted tightly as he asked Leng Nuohan.

People like Gongsun Ze Tian and Leng Nuohan were already intelligent people, sometimes, words did not need to be said clearly, the two of them could understand what the other wanted to say.

"In the instant that Qiong Yu was stunned, I noticed that in the few places where she could see, the only suspicious people were a man and a woman. However, they quickly disappeared into the crowd." Leng Nuohan once again fell into deep thought. She thought about the entire process of 'watching a show' today, carefully identifying any possible suspects, and then slowly spoke out.

"Oh? This actually happened? Lan Er, go and call Qiong Yu back! " Gongsun Ze Tian immediately thought of two people when he heard Leng Nuohan mention a man and a woman, and these two people were extremely important to Qiong Yu.

"Yes, young master!" Lan Er accepted her orders and went to find Qiong Yu.

"What did you think of?" Leng Nuohan did not know about Qiong Yu's past, so he asked puzzledly.

"In this world, the only people who can make that girl lose her mind are her former master and her mistress. These two people are the ones who hurt her the most. Sigh, she is also a pitiful person." He did not want to say more because it was related to a person's privacy. Although he already knew about all of this, he did not hear it from the person involved, so Gongsun Ze Tian still respected Qiong Yu a lot. He did not want his wounded subordinates who were already riddled with scars to become even more injured.

However, to Leng Nuohan, Gongsun Zaitian did not treat her as an outsider at all. Thus, she could roughly tell him about the matter.

"The wounds on Sister Qiong Yu's face?" Leng Nuohan seemed to have thought of something, and asked puzzledly.

"Hm!" "That's right!" Gongsun Ze Tian nodded as a response.

"Then why did you call her back? Are you afraid that she might be unable to bear it and go seek revenge?" Leng Nuohan was also worried, and asked once again.

"No, I'm afraid that she will regret not seeing the unfortunate moments of both of them!" Gongsun Ztian firmly shook his head and said darkly.

"Do you know where those two went?" Leng Nuohan was even more shocked, he had only mentioned the two of them before this man found out where they went.

"Perhaps, we should be at the banquet hall of our Situ Family by now! It seems like we'll have some fun again! " Gongsun Ztian said with a face full of ridicule.
