Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 121 The terrible Yuheng, undercurrent surges!
The words fell.

The corners of the old man's and Yuan Baihe's mouth twitched.

Good guy!
It turns out that this is something our ancestors and little Sizi used to do often, and it has become a conditioned reflex.

Good guy!
It turns out that this is something Qin Changye and Xiao Sizi used to do frequently, and it has become a conditioned reflex.

"Ahem, it's okay."

The old man coughed and then said, "Your Highness, are you still tired? Do you want to come in and rest for a while?"

He repeated the previous question because he felt that Xiao Sizi did not hear it clearly at that time.

Xiao Sizi thought about it and nodded vigorously, her beautiful twin ponytails swaying in the wind.

"Yes! Sizi definitely wants it! Sizi got up so early today, I'm almost dying of sleep!"

"Old man, if possible, Sizi wants to go to the second brother's room to rest. Hey! Wait, that's not right. The second brother has prepared a new house for Sizi. Hehe, then, old man, can Sizi go to that house?"

Little Sizi clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkling.

The old man smiled and said, "Of course you can. That is the house that His Highness prepared for you. You can go there whenever you want."

"Wow, yay!"

Little Sizi happily made a victory gesture on the spot.

So lively and cute.

The old man couldn't help but sigh.

Subsequently,

He looked at Yuan Baihe beside him and said calmly, "Baihe, you can take His Highness Xiao Sizi over there."

Yuan Baihe bowed slightly and nodded, "Okay, Taoist Priest, I understand."

She led Xiao Sizi to the house.

The old man looked at their backs as they left, and only hoped that his granddaughter would take good care of His Highness Little Sizi today, because they needed to do something big today.

After he could no longer see the two, the old man whispered, "Where is the Guardian?"

The words fell.

People wearing flying fish costumes walked out from secret places around.

As soon as they appeared, they held their knives and bowed, saying, "Master!"

The old man nodded and said calmly: "Go ahead, arrange everything, it's time to act."

"Take the things and go and give them to the ancestor! Yuheng is going to take action. He wants to stop the meeting between the ancestor and Kaiyang, and you must ensure the completion of this mission."

"Yes!!"

They quickly dispersed and went to carry out the old man's orders.

After doing all this,
The old man came to one of the courtyards in the east yard. As soon as he walked in, he saw a melancholy man with broken hair on his forehead wiping his sword.

That person was Wei Yang.

"Master, you are here."

Without even turning its head, you can tell who the person is.

He judged by the sound of footsteps.

Everyone has their own unique footsteps.

"Yes, in today's operation, Weiyang, you are the most important."

"To be on the safe side, Weiyang, I'm afraid... I'll have to trouble you to be the most eye-catching bait."

The old man's eyes were filled with guilt.

Wei Yang said indifferently: "It's okay, Taoist priest, I am doing this for our ancestors. I have made this decision a long time ago. You don't have to worry about it."

"So now, is everything ready?"

The old man nodded and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for you."

Wei Yang's eyes suddenly flickered.

"I didn't expect that I was the one who delayed the plan. This is my fault."

"I'll go right away."

Quickly sheathing the sword, Wei Yang walked towards the planned destination.

After he passed the old man, the old man followed him and left together.

Go round and round.

Come to the west courtyard of Wangyun Inn.

It can be seen that there are several guards of Wangyun Inn standing with knives in hand. They are in an orderly manner, and several of them are escorting an ox cart.

The ox cart was fully loaded and covered with white cloth, as if there were many things hidden under the cloth.

Originally, the guards of Wangyun Inn were looking around, but when Wei Yang and the old man came in, they immediately focused their attention on the two of them.

Wei Yang looked at many eyes without any emotional ups and downs.

He examined the guards of Wangyun Inn and snorted, "Let's go! Go to meet the ancestor!!"

........................

South of Chang'an City.

Shopping street.

This is just one of the thousands of commercial streets in the south of Chang'an City, but even so, it is very bustling.

There was a constant stream of vendors coming and going, and the place was full of noise.

"Hey, Lao Liu, your wontons are not good. I've eaten the wontons at Wangyun Inn, and they are much better than yours."

"Yes, yes, there is really no harm without comparison."

"That's outrageous! This tastes terrible!"

At an open-air food stall, many diners expressed their dissatisfaction.

The owner of the food stall was a kind-looking middle-aged man who looked amiable, but when he heard the news about the Chuhe Restaurant, he instantly got furious.

"Wangyun Inn? So annoying! Aren't their wontons only becoming delicious recently?!"

"Even if they taste good, so what? How much are the wontons at Wangyun Inn? How much are they here? Don't you understand? You want to buy new shoes with the money you would have spent on old ones? You are dreaming!"

"Roll, roll, roll, eat if you want."

The shop owner had a very bad temper and actually started to drive away the diners who slandered his wontons on the spot.

Some diners were driven away, while others said they would not say anything more, and the shopkeeper then allowed them to stay.

The shopkeeper did not confiscate the money of those diners who were driven away. The wontons that were originally prepared were not eaten, so the shopkeeper simply poured them on the ground and fed them to the dogs.

"correct."

Suddenly, the shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something. He looked around at the diners and said unhappily, "If anyone hears me saying good things about Wangyun Inn again, I will kick you out."

"And I will remember your appearance. Next time you come, I will never cook for you."

The shopkeeper spoke very confidently.

There is no need to worry about diners running away.

It seems that he is not a businessman who makes money or loses money, but does business as fate dictates.

Anyone who says something good about Wangyun Inn will be driven away. This kind of hatred can be said to be very great.

The diners who have already stayed have said that they will abide by the rules.

This made the shopkeeper's face look much better, and he went back to make wontons.

But after a while, a special pigeon landed on his shoulder, and the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly.

He put down his work, walked up to the diners, and said loudly: "Everyone, today's wontons are free of charge. Let's go. Something urgent happened here."

He started to drive away the diners without saying a word and confiscated all their money.

Although the diners were dissatisfied, they did not make a fuss as they were not charged and they got to eat the wontons for free.

After driving all the diners away, the shopkeeper quickly packed up his stall and went home.

His house is not far from here, just a few steps away.

When he reached the front door of his house, it opened from the inside and a woman came out.

Looks sad.

"Madam, why are you out? Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time?!"

The shopkeeper seemed a little surprised.

The woman rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I didn't sleep today, and I didn't dare to sleep. Do you think I could sleep for what I have to do today? I have been waiting for you to come back. When I heard the sound of our stall, I knew you were back."

The shopkeeper touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "That's true. Actually, it would be better if you slept. In this way, you don't have to leave Chang'an City today."

The woman stepped forward and knocked on his head, full of resentment, "What are you talking about! What? You want to leave me alone? That won't do. We said when we drank the wedding wine that we must go together wherever we go."

The shopkeeper sighed and said with some sorrow: "I said so back then, but now that you are facing the moment of real choice, I still hope that you can be safe."

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think...if you die, I will be happy if I am alive? That will make me miserable. It is better to die. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Time is urgent. Hurry and push the things in."

As the couple talked, they helped push the stall into the house.

en route.

The woman's hand kept stroking the stall, her eyes lingering.

"How long have we been using all the utensils in this stall?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Six years."

The woman sighed and said, "Six years... It really seems like it was just yesterday."

"Old ghost, do you think we still have a chance to come back? Continue...running our small business, living a simple and worry-free life."

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he stepped forward and held the woman in his arms. He looked up at the sky outside and said seriously, "Yes, our son Xiaoyuan is also waiting for us to come back."

"When we finish our business and return to Chang'an City, we will bring Xiaoyuan back and enroll him in a private school so that he can pass the imperial examination and get a good academic record."

"Speaking of which, none of my ancestors for three generations have been educated. It seems that my bloodline is not very good. Hahaha, I don't know if this brat Xiaoyuan can do it. In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't read. I can teach him how to make wontons."

"How's the saying? Oh, yes, it's about fathers and sons fighting together."

The woman hit the shopkeeper hard and said angrily, "You bastard, don't you know how hard it is to make wontons? Xiaoyuan will not make these crappy wontons with you. Now that the imperial examination is out, poor scholars also have a chance. He will definitely be able to pass the examination and enter the court."

This is a kind of confidence in his son, confidence without any reason.

The shopkeeper patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, ma'am, you are right. Look at my head. Our Xiaoyuan is so smart. He will definitely pass the imperial examination. Okay, don't be angry."

After a while of coaxing.

The woman's face looked much better.

"It's about time, shouldn't we set off?"

The woman looked up at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Not yet."

finished,

He then handed the note he had taken from the pigeon's leg to the woman.

The woman glanced at him for just a moment and then looked away.

There were only four words written on it.

【Three quarters after noon.】

And now, it is one quarter past noon.

"There are still two quarters of an hour left, Old Ghost. Do you have anything to tell Xiao Yuan? If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back after this trip."

The woman spoke up to remind him.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Ah, Madam, I really don't have any reminders. I just hope that if we are gone, he can grow up well and marry a wife who is like his father, that is, like me. This will definitely make his life complete."

Hearing this,

The woman raised her lips slightly, but quickly retracted them and said seriously: "You are so rude!!"

"As a father, you don't even worry about whether he will have enough to eat and clothes to wear after we leave, or whether he will learn bad things from bad people. You don't care about these things. You are really not a qualified father."

"Hmm? Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that I haven't told Xiaoyuan where our savings are. I'll write it down now."

The woman rushed into their room.

The shopkeeper saw it but did not stop it. This had become the norm. Every day the woman would always remember something and need to remind Xiao Yuan and then go and supplement it.

The woman went to write a letter.

The shopkeeper came to the backyard, where there was a heavy ox cart, fully loaded and covered with black cloth.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and opened the black cloth.

With a "rustling" sound, the black cloth was removed, revealing the inside of the ox cart.

It's a lot of wooden boxes!

Crowd together!
The shopkeeper opened one of the boxes and found that it was filled with money that was almost overflowing.

"My dear, my husband and I are ready to leave and give you...what you need."

"As for the opponent you may encounter on the way, Yuheng, my husband and I will stop him...stop that terrifying Star Envoy."

This couple, although they disparage Wangyun Inn outside, are actually its residents.

The shopkeeper opened a few more wooden boxes and made sure they were full of money before closing them and covering everything with black cloth.

Return to the room.

I found that the woman had already written the letter and was looking for something on the ground.

After groping for a long time, she finally found a mechanism.

The mechanism slowly opened,

There isn't much space inside, just enough to store some small items.

The woman put the letter in.

The shopkeeper saw it all and was not surprised.

This agency is where the couple recently passed information to Wangyun Inn. Many letters were placed in it every day, and then the next day the letters in the agency would disappear as they were taken away by the special intelligence department of Wangyun Inn.

Why not take it in person?

that is because.

The intelligence department of Wangyun Inn is more mysterious than the guardians. Even if they are from Wangyun Inn, they don’t know it.

I am afraid…….
Only a few people like the old man Sishe know their true appearance. What's more, even the old man's core confidants don't know. Only Qin Changye knows and they only serve Qin Changye.

Put the letter away.

The woman stood up and leaned against the shopkeeper's arms, her eyes soft as she said, "I have written down all the places where the money is hidden. Even if we encounter an accident or His Highness falls, that money will allow Xiao Yuan to use it for the rest of his life."

The shopkeeper hugged the woman and said with a smile: "Madam, you are a little pessimistic. Who is the ancestor? How could he fall?!"

The woman curled her lips and said unhappily, "Isn't this the case? It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, our ancestor's opponent is that terrifying Yu Heng."

The shopkeeper was about to speak, but seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the weather outside and said, "Madam, it's almost time. We... should also set off to avoid delaying His Highness's important affairs."
