Cultivation: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds
Chapter 512 Duan Xuan's Scheming!
"I'm afraid you won't see our postmaster. Just... half an hour ago, our postmaster was killed." The man said tremblingly.
Wei Chunqiu was in a fit of anger, and when he heard what the man said, his anger disappeared immediately, and a curious smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Your postmaster was killed? What, the law and order in Yunzhong City Is it so bad? Although the postmaster is not a high-ranking official, he is also an official appointed by the court, so he can be killed if he says he can kill him?"
The guy wept and said, "The one who killed our post chief was none other than the newly conferred young prince! As for our post chief's official who is as big as a sesame seed and mung bean, for the young prince, he can kill if he doesn't say so."
"Young man?" Wei Chunqiu was taken aback for a moment, with a trace of confusion on his face.
Duan Xuan interjected, "This young Marquis, named Xu Yaoting, is the only grandson of Dingshan King Xu Wenchuan of the Qingyun Empire. A few days ago, the Qingyun Emperor decreed that Xu Yaoting was named a Young Marquis, and his father was named King Ningbei! Family, two kings and one lord, the power is so great that no one can surpass it!"
Wei Chunqiu looked back at Duan Xuan, although he hated Duan Xuan very much, he had to admit that Duan Xuan actually had some skills.Just like the news that Xu Yaoting was canonized as a young man, Wei Chunqiu didn't get the slightest bit of news, but Duan Xuan already knew it in such detail.For this alone, Wei Chunqiu dare not say that he is better than Duan Xuan.
Ignoring Wei Chunqiu, Duan Xuan casually asked the guy, "Why did the young man kill your postmaster?"
Compared with Wei Chunqiu, who is fierce and vicious, Duan Xuan is much more amiable, and the guy's panic-stricken mood immediately became more at ease, and he spoke more fluently, sighing, "Speaking of which, our postmaster is really Bad luck."
"Unlucky?" Duan Xuan couldn't help laughing, could he be slaughtered by the young man if he wasn't unlucky?
"Yes, a few people came to our post today, claiming to be the general and princess of Tiandu Kingdom..."
The guy had only spoken halfway, and Wei Chunqiu immediately jumped up, staring straight at the guy with sharp eyes like a knife, and asked sharply, "Are those girls Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu?"
"Yes, yes, they are indeed two beauties..."
"Where are they now?" When Wei Chunqiu heard this, he couldn't wait any longer, grabbed the guy by the skirt, and lifted him up from the ground.
Duan Xuan didn't expect that when he asked casually out of curiosity, he would get news about Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, and his expression was very excited.At the same time, he secretly blamed himself, why he didn't think of it earlier, as Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, when they arrived in Yunzhong City, the first choice of accommodation must be the hotel.
"They...they claimed to be the generals and princesses of the Heavenly Capital Kingdom, but they couldn't produce any proof of their identities, so we, the postmaster, decided that they were liars, and drove them away after humiliating them... "
"Drive away!?" Wei Chunqiu originally thought that Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu had been caught, but he didn't expect such a result, and immediately roared angrily. People shudder.If Wu Rengui has a spirit in heaven, he should feel lucky.Otherwise, if it falls into Wei Chunqiu's hands at this time, not only will he die, but death will be ten times more painful!
Duan Xuan was much calmer than Wei Chunqiu, and he opened his mouth and asked the guy, "The young man killed your post chief because you drove away the envoy from Tiandu Kingdom?"
The guy wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said in a nasty voice, "Should...it should be, our postmaster and the young Hou Su don't know each other, and we don't have any enmity."
Duan Xuan nodded, casually took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, threw it to the guy, waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business here, you can step back."
When the guy heard this, he grabbed the gold as if he had been pardoned, and retreated like flying, without even daring to turn his head.
"That's unreasonable! That bastard postmaster really deserves to die, if it wasn't for him, the two girls Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu would have already fallen into our hands." Wei Chunqiu said angrily.
"Mr. Wei, please calm down first. Even if the postmaster didn't drive Wan Youqi away, we can't do anything in this post." Duan Xuan poured Wei Chunqiu a cup of tea and said with a smile.
"Fart! Why can't we do it? There are so many of us, how can we run away from them?"
"Mr. Wei, have you forgotten that this is Yunzhong City, the territory of the Qingyun Empire." Duan Xuan was really not used to cooperating with someone like Wei Chunqiu who was a firecracker.
"What happened to Yunzhong City? What happened to Qingyun Empire's territory? Even if I killed Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, what can they do, dare to touch you and me?"
"That might be." Duan Xuan sneered, and said faintly, "Xu Yaoting just killed the postmaster because the postmaster here drove Wan Youqi and the others away. Don't you think about it? What does it mean?"
"What does it mean?" Wei Chunqiu's mind was not sluggish, but he was too annoyed at this moment, unable to think deeply at all, so he blurted out and asked.
"It means that in the Qingyun Empire, there are quite a few people who sympathize with Tiandu Kingdom, and the Xu family is the representative of these people! With the current power of the Xu family, if we rashly move Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, The consequences will be disastrous."
Wei Chunqiu had to admit that Duan Xuan's words were reasonable, but still unwilling to admit defeat, he snorted coldly and said with disdain: "What's so unimaginable? Could it be that the Xu family dared to kill us?"
"Why not? With the strength of the Xu family, and in Yunzhong City, they killed us silently and without leaving a trace. Who would know? Even if someone knows, do you think the emperor may be killed because of you and me? For the sake of the government, break the original plan and start a war against the Qingyun Empire in advance? Mr. Wei, although you don't like to hear some words, I still want to say that in the face of the big situation, you and I are as light as a feather!"
Wei Chunqiu couldn't help shivering at Duan Xuan's words, although his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but it was rare that he didn't lose his temper again, and sat down dully.
"Then what should we do now?" After a while, Wei Chunqiu finally couldn't help asking.
Duan Xuan knew that he would ask this question, smiled slightly, with a gully in his chest, and said, "The Xu family is powerful, but it may not be able to cover the sky with one hand! Let's find someone, I miss him You must be happy to help us deal with the Xu family!"
"Who is it?" Wei Chunqiu asked impatiently.
"Big Situ He Zhen!"
Wei Chunqiu's face immediately showed confusion again, Duan Xuan couldn't help feeling a little contempt in his heart, from Wei Chunqiu's point of view, he was good at fighting and killing, but in fact, he had no strategy in mind.At best, it is a golden thug.
"He Zhen originally belonged to the sect of the national teacher Qiu Wanli, but some time ago, Qiu Wanli attempted to usurp the throne and was suppressed. Although He Zhen saved his official position by killing Qiu Wanli, his situation is not as good as before. , urgently need support. Moreover, this person is the most at odds with the Xu family, so it would be a perfect fit to ask him to be our spokesperson."
"But how should we support He Zhen?"
There was a wicked smile on Duan Xuan's face, and he said, "What's so difficult about this, it's nothing more than four words - coercion and temptation! Give money to those who love money, give money to those who love women, and catch those who don't love anything. Threat. I think it won't be long before a large number of officials will be gathered around He Zhen, and by then, He Zhen will have the capital to contend with the Xu family."
Seeing Duan Xuan's appearance of lifting weights lightly, Wei Chunqiu couldn't help being shocked, looked at him and asked, "You shouldn't have thought about these things long ago, have you?"
Duan Xuan glanced at him, and said with a bit of mystery, "You think the eldest prince sent me here just to get Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu? Hehe..."
Duan Xuan kept his secret with a smile, but Wei Chunqiu was terrified when he heard it, and his expression changed again and again.The arrogance and contempt that was always shown intentionally or unintentionally in front of Duan Xuan before has long since disappeared without a trace.
And this is exactly what Duan Xuan wants.Wei Chunqiu always thought that he was the one closest to the First Prince and the most favored, that's why he dared to be so contemptuous to Duan Xuan.But now, when he learned that the distance between Duan Xuan and the eldest prince was closer than he imagined, this sense of superiority immediately collapsed.
"Then...Master Duan, Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, let's just ignore it for now?"
Calling Mr. Duan is tantamount to a letter of surrender from Wei Chunqiu to Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "As long as the Xu family is settled, the life and death of Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu is not a matter of a word between you and me?"
"Yes, yes, that's the truth! Hahaha...Master Duan, you are really clever!" Wei Chunqiu gave Duan Xuan a thumbs up.
This Wei Chunqiu is a villain through and through, Duan Xuan's heart is full of contempt when seeing his arrogant appearance.But Duan Xuan, who is scheming, will never show it.
"However, I didn't expect that both of Wan Youqi lost their official documents. They were in such a mess that they couldn't even live in the posthouse. Hehe...Speaking of it, it's all thanks to you, Mr. Wei. "
When Duan Xuan said this, Wei Chunqiu immediately became flamboyant, and laughed and said, "That's right! At that time, I chased them all the way, and I chased them all the way to the sky! They couldn't even save their lives. How could they care about those messy things?" thing?"
Duan Xuan nodded, his face was full of admiration, but he thought disdainfully in his heart, "That's all you have, otherwise, the eldest prince would have kicked you out."
"Come on, Master Duan, it's getting late, let's have dinner first! Rest tonight and go find He Zhen tomorrow!"
After hearing Wei Chunqiu's greeting, Duan Xuan realized that it was completely dark outside, and the dishes on their table had been served for a long time.Duan Xuan picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when he suddenly thought of Ke Yu who hadn't come back yet.
An indescribable worry arose in Duan Xuan's heart, which immediately counteracted his good appetite.With a wave of his hand, he called a bodyguard and ordered, "Go out and look for Ke Yu. If you have any news about him, report it immediately!"
Wei Chunqiu was in a fit of anger, and when he heard what the man said, his anger disappeared immediately, and a curious smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Your postmaster was killed? What, the law and order in Yunzhong City Is it so bad? Although the postmaster is not a high-ranking official, he is also an official appointed by the court, so he can be killed if he says he can kill him?"
