C281 Before departure (1)

"This ?" Let me think about it! " Fourth Uncle's words came to a halt again. He muttered to himself for a long time before spitting out a sentence.

"Alright, but Fourth Uncle must be fast!" Xiahou Junyu replied unhappily, although he knew that everything he said was nonsense, he could not help but urge, hoping that Fourth Uncle could come up with a decision quickly.

"I know that! "Oh right, did you say where this silver came from and where it would be sent to?" Fourth Uncle casually asked his nephew.

"Is Fourth Uncle suspecting that there is a problem with this matter?" Xiahou Junyu was not given this gift for nothing. After all, he was the heir to the family, and hearing that, he understood the situation, and was aware of the problem, he asked.

This matter is in itself a problem, would the Surveillance Council possibly go to such lengths to deal with some ordinary merchants? Even if this amount of silver was not small, if the other party's background was not big, then the local Surveillance Council s could settle the matter. It was still the type of all-out attack!

"That's right, any businessman would not choose to transport such a large amount of silver in one go. If something were to happen on the road, the losses would be huge, and the owner would definitely not be an ordinary businessman. Furthermore, it is impossible for ordinary merchants to be targeted by the Surveillance Council in such a high-profile manner, so I think that the source of this silver is most likely related to the powerful nobles in the imperial city!" Fourth Uncle slowly spoke out the whole story.

"Then what should we do?" Xiahou Junyu asked worriedly.

"Our family will help you. This way, we won't offend that powerful official in the capital. Secondly, we can protect your examination results in the Surveillance Council, so that you won't lose because of this!" Fourth Uncle firmly told his nephew as if he had made a decision.

"Nephew thanks Fourth Uncle!" Xiahou Junyu excitedly stood up and saluted.

"I will immediately send a letter to your father. This matter still requires his help. Otherwise, your fourth uncle wouldn't have that much of face!" Fourth Uncle knew the seriousness of the situation. It was not something that he could resolve with a single sentence, so he spoke to his nephew.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Xiahou Junyu was overjoyed, this matter would eventually come to an end. As long as he settled this matter, then he would have the qualifications to act arrogantly in front of them. Thinking about that, Xiahou Junyu couldn't help but want to laugh crazily, he seemed to see Zhao Yiyang kneeling in front of him, wagging his tail while begging for mercy. He wanted to slap's face and say, "Boy, play with me, you're still too inexperienced!"

Xiahou Junyu was still in the midst of fantasizing, his Fourth Uncle did not look at Xiahou Junyu who was snickering on the side, and turned to walk towards the study room, he was already impatient to give Xiahou Family the master cultivation book, this matter seemed to be related to his nephew's competition for the rights to be the successor of the President of the Council, but in reality, it was closely related to the imperial court. Maybe he could use this matter to successfully rope him into the position of being a noble in the imperial court, and no matter if it was for the clan or the Ninth Prince who was actively preparing to seize power, it would be a miraculous matter for the entire clan.

The middle-aged man called 'Fourth Uncle' was actually very excited. If this matter could be successfully handled through his own hands, then his position in the clan would probably take a big step forward. When he could be transferred to the imperial capital, he would be able to rely on his relationship with the Ninth Prince s.

It seemed as if they were both busy with the same thing, but their goals were different, but at least for now, they were both on the same side. In the current situation, the external enemies were the most troublesome, and unless the external enemies were eliminated, the internal conflict of the family would never reach a point where it could be resolved in an open way.

? ?.

The next day, outside Boxer Mansion.

"Brother Tian, sister-in-law, you two don't have to worry. I promise to take good care of Ol 'Three and his future wife!" Situ Qingyun cupped his hands towards Situ Qingtian and his wife, and solemnly promised.

"Don't be so talkative, as an uncle, you don't look like an uncle. Even I'm worried that Little San has been led astray by you!" Situ Qingtian reprimanded his little brother. His awe-inspiring voice had the air of someone reprimanding a grandson.

"Who's the bad one?" Situ Qingyun lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"What are you muttering about?" Situ Qingtian looked at his younger brother who was lowering his head and speaking unwillingly, but he could not hear what he said clearly.

"I said that I will teach him well, so that his trip will not be in vain!" Situ Qingyun lifted his head once again, his face was already filled with a smile, and answered his brother's question humbly.

"Qing Yun, Ol 'Three must keep this trip a secret. He will tell you the details, and you don't have to take extra care of him to prevent others from suspecting you!" How could Murong Fenghuang not see through her brother-in-law's thoughts? She did not point it out, and started on the main topic of conversation, speaking with a low voice.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law!" Right, why hasn't Third Bro come out yet? It's about to start! " Situ Qingyun nodded his head and replied seriously. At the same time, he looked at the sky and asked Murong Fenghuang.

"Oh, it should be soon!" Murong Fenghuang replied casually. She knew that her son was very punctual at times and at times, he was completely unaware of what "late" meant.

Thinking about his own son, Murong Fenghuang felt gratified but also helpless. Be it in terms of intelligence or skill, even a five year old like him would not be weaker than someone from any other gangs in the martial arts world. Murong Fenghuang even had a faint feeling that his own little son's intelligence was not inferior to that old cunning fox from the Surveillance Council.

If these were placed on the body of an old man or an adult, it would not be surprising, but if all of these people gathered on the body of a five-year-old child, it would be shocking enough. If this news was spread out, people in the world would probably treat Gongsun Zhaitian as a monster.

The thing that he could do nothing about was that his son's way of thinking was too unfathomable, making him unable to comprehend it. Even though Murong Fenghuang thought that her IQ was extremely high, she was still unable to see through her own son.

"Sister-in-law, you're not the one who packed Ol 'Three's luggage, right?" Situ Qingyun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked softly beside Murong Fenghuang.

"No!" Murong Fenghuang decisively shook her head, and firmly rejected. Most likely, if she dared to say "Yes," this brother-in-law of her wouldn't be able to leave.

"That's good!" Situ Qingyun patted his chest, and exclaimed 'so close!'

"What is it? The luggage that I pack is shameful, or what? " Seeing Situ Qingyun's relieved expression, Murong Fenghuang was unsatisfied and asked a question in reply.

"No, I'm just sighing with emotion. My sister-in-law's luggage is ingenious and meticulous to the point that it makes one's hair stand on end!" Situ Qingyun hurriedly had a face full of smiles, as he 'fawned' and explained.

"Heng, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! But this time, it really wasn't me who took care of them, it was Lan Er and the Leng Jia girl who were too busy to stop. " Murong Fenghuang had never planned to chase after Situ Qingyun, but she warned his brother-in-law with a serious look in her eyes, and then said to him.

"Then ?" Just as Situ Qingyun was about to speak up with a smile on his face, he was interrupted.

A Guard Army Warrior held onto his blade's hilt and walked quickly to Situ Qingyun's side. He knelt on one knee, and with a difficult to speak expression, he said: "Open ? "Reporting to the great general!"

"What is it? It is unbecoming of you to speak haltingly. " Don't just look at how Situ Qingyun and the rest of the family did not speak seriously, the army was extremely imposing, and he immediately asked with a serious face.

Situ Qingyun had always been a strict ruler, especially those who reported matters to him. They could only report things with a firm tone, and could not appear any indecisive words in their words, nor could they speak or stutter. In particular, they were not allowed to add any of their own emotions into it. This janitor disciple was reporting things to him in such a stuttering manner, it was obvious that he had joined in on his own subjective judgment. This had broken Situ Qingyun's rules, how could he be so amiable towards him?

"Yes, your subordinate knows his wrongs!" The janissary immediately understood his problem, and admitted his guilt.

"What happened?" Situ Qingyun did not want to further investigate this matter. Firstly, this person was not reporting the military news, and the crime was to be avoided; secondly, the army had not started, so he did not want to create trouble for himself, bringing with it the unlucky trip to the Boxer Mansion. Thirdly, he had not left the Boxer Mansion yet, so what was unpleasant to hear, was not the time for Situ Qingyun to say anything.

"The servants in the general's residence are busy at the back ?" The soldier reported in a clear voice, but his tone gradually became weaker until he was completely silent.

"Busy about what? Speak clearly! " Situ Qingyun bellowed.

"Busy with the luggage!" The janissary said straightforwardly.

"Baggage? What luggage? Didn't I say to be as casual as possible this time? " According to his nephew's arrangements, the most important aspect of the trip north should be the word 'speed', and they even had to go as far as to compare speed with some power. Although his nephew did not say who that power was, Situ Qingyun knew that this was not a simple matter. Therefore, other than carrying weapons and food for each of them, Situ Qingyun was not allowed to bring anything else this time. Furthermore, the entire army had to focus on the cavalry.

Fortunately, Situ Qingyun had brought a few people this time. Other than the infantry, the rest were all cavalry. They were even equipped with heavy cavalry units. Of course, during the march, their heavy armour was taken off and escorted by the transport troops.

"This subordinate doesn't know either. It's just a bunch of servants busy moving the luggage!" He really didn't know about this, and it was even the captain who ordered him to report to the general.

"A group of servants? "Whose luggage?" Situ Qingyun muttered to himself.

"This subordinate does not know!" The janissary believed that this was what the general had asked him, but he still lowered his head and replied.

"Bring me there!" "Brother Tian, sister-in-law, let's go take a look!" Situ Qingyun waved his hand, allowing the man to lead the way, then spoke to the two siblings by his side.

"En!" Situ Qingtian nodded his head, and then led his wife to follow behind his brother. He was also curious, what could actually make his brother's personal guards that were not afraid of death become so secretive.
