so, for whom
"I won't participate this year, but this news cannot be leaked for the time being." Chu Jiangnan stopped and looked at the four people in the room. His eyes finally fell on Dong Dali: "The training program is still the same as before, and there is no need to be deliberately, just as usual."
"I understand." Dong Dali responded respectfully.
"Master, if this is the case, the Five Mountains Sect should be the hottest gang this time." Ji Wushuang frowned, finally understanding why they gave them a gift of 500,000 taels of gold at once.
However, it is absolutely impossible for the owner of the manor to withdraw from the conference for a mere 500,000 taels of gold.
Although the four of them didn't say it, they also knew that there must be another reason behind it.
"The conference will be held in five days." Duanmu Ran looked at Chu Jiangnan and said again: "In this martial arts conference, the disciples of the Five Mountains Sect seem to be higher than other gangs in overall qualifications. However, the subordinates found out that their people had contact with people from the Yue Kingdom half a month ago."
Chu Jiangnan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Let's talk."
"One of the masters of the Zhuque Sect in Yue Kingdom went to Liujiang half a month ago and had secretly met Master Yue. After that, Master Yue spent a lot of money to ask the owner to withdraw from the conference competition. My subordinates guessed that there must be great benefits behind it, so Master Yue would spend too much money."
Before Chu Jiangnan asked a question, he continued: "The imperial city ordered people to send a letter to Shaolin Hongyuan a month ago, hoping that he could assist in protecting the construction of the Liufang River embankment. I heard that the court intends to let this term of martial arts leader and the government officials supervise the construction of the river embankment."
"The geographical location of Liufang River?" Qiqi looked at Duanmu Ran and did not think that it was wrong to interrupt him at this time.
The people who can be called here by Chu Jiangnan are all their own people. Since they are their own people, they should ask if they don’t understand. Otherwise, she will miss a lot of information and cannot guess the conspiracy behind those people at the first time.
Duanmu Ran looked at her, and a little light flashed in her eyes, saying everything: "The Liufang River is located on the border between Chu and Liang. The Liufang River embankment was destroyed by floods several months ago. I heard that it was because of the cut corners during construction, and even the river bank broke the dike, causing countless casualties to the people along the river."
"The court investigated for two months and killed several important officials who participated in the construction of the river embankment, but the rebuilding of the river embankment has not yet been resolved. This time, the emperor intends to let the new leader of the martial arts alliance participate in this time, hoping that the Jianghu gangs and the court can work together to supervise each other, and rebuild a solid section of the river embankment so that the rural merchants in the Yanhe area can develop again."
Qiqi just listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he asked again: "So, the Liufang River is still at the junction of Chu and Liang. The river embankment is destroyed. Then, the navy guarding the Yanhe area..."
"Miss Mu seems to have no idea about the situation of Chu State." Duanmu Ran looked at Chu Jiangnan, and saw that he did not stop him. He knew that he had full trust in the junior sister. He said: "Chu State and Liang State have signed a ceasefire agreement before, and have been friendly and diplomatic relations in recent years. I have never heard of any trouble. However, there seems to be some abnormal movements in the Liang River area recently. This time the emperor asked the people in the rivers and lakes to participate in this matter. My subordinates guess that he intends to win over the people in the rivers and lakes and rebuild the water army in the rivers."
Let the people in the martial arts world be used by the court. This kind of thing actually exists in all dynasties and generations. With limited national strength, this is a good strategy, but it is just a bit risky.
The King of Chu was willing to take this risk. It seemed that he would make a big move next, wanting to preserve his power for himself.
Duanmu Ran said something very right. She really doesn't understand the situation of Chu State. Even if she knows that the King of Chu has plans in her mind, she doesn't know what he is calculating.
However, the Five Mountains Sect is expected to win at this conference, and the leader of Yue may become the leader of the martial arts world. He must have known the meaning of the King of Chu, so he would not hesitate to ask his senior brother to withdraw from the competition.
He wanted to take over the task of rebuilding the river embankment, but he went privately with the martial arts people from Yue Kingdom...
Qiqi rubbed the corner of his eyebrows and looked at the man beside him.
However, Chu Jiangnan remained silent and kept silent.
Others don’t know whether he is the Prince of Nan, but judging by this situation, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Duanmu Ran.
"Although rebuilding the river bank is a big project, you can get a lot of benefits in the middle, but this time it is the rebuilding of the court and the leader of the martial arts world. According to the emperor's attention to this matter, it is unlikely to get the magnificent benefit if he needs to be." Duanmu Ran still looked at Chu Jiangnan with a somewhat solemn expression: "The subordinates think that Master Yue is afraid that it is not just for such a little benefit."
Having said that, except for Dong Dali, everyone else heard it clearly.
Chu Jiangnan pondered for a moment before saying, "Send someone to visit Yue Kingdom to see if the arrival of the Lord of Zhuque Hall means Emperor Wu Yue, or if there is someone else behind it."
At that time, he and the fourth emperor also unanimously believed that they were Emperor Wu Yue, but the news that was passed back in the past two days seemed not that simple.
If it were Emperor Wu Yue, things would be difficult to handle, but if it were other princes...
The royal family dispute has been around for a long time, and if it were other princes, this would be easier to deal with.
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Duanmu Ran responded and stopped talking.
The more Qiqi listened, the colder he felt. The number one farmer in the world was not just the number one farmer in the world. The senior brother never cared about the battle between the royal family, but why is he so obsessed with this matter? Or... for whom?
Prince Xuan, who should have accompanied Mu Ruyun to travel around, appeared here, and Prince Nan cared so much about the affairs of the two countries...
Next is Ji Wushuang's report on the recent business situation outside, and Tang Sui, who has not spoken, briefly reported the implementation of several major tasks in recent times. The owner of the manor rarely came back. Everyone talked about these things with the key points.
Although Qiqi pretended to be in her mind, she remembered everything they said.
The senior brother asked her to come here to listen, not to let her stare in a daze.
One hour later, the four of them left one after another. When Qiqi saw Chu Jiangnan stand up, he also stood up and walked out of the door with him.
Outside the door, the sun is already shining brightly. Under the sun, the scenery is bright everywhere, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Chu Jiangnan seemed to be interested in going out to see some of their big shops in Wangyue City. Qiqi could not escape at all. Wherever he went, she had to follow him.
Putting aside all other reasons, she could not be too far away from him just as his attending doctor.
In fact, she still has a lot of things to talk to Duanmu Ran. After just over an hour of observation, she had already reached the point where she couldn't let go of Duanmu Ran.
This guy is really a good news. He can know any news, as long as it is not too perverse or too insignificant, he can know about the most important news.
However, Qiqi believed that he just didn't have the energy to inquire about those little news. If such a person was asked to inquire about something, he would definitely be able to complete the task well.
"Do you want to send him to your dormitory tonight and let you send him?" Even Chu Jiangnan saw that Qiqi liked Duanmu Ran. Seeing her staring at the slender back, he couldn't help but knock on her head again.
If the fourth emperor brother saw this reluctant look, it would be strange if he didn't piss him to death.
"It's good." Don't think she dares not. She dares not?
Isn’t it just that a lonely man and a widow stayed in the same room in the middle of the night and talked and chatted? She was not a pedantic ancient person like them, so she didn’t think anything was there.
"I am your junior sister, I am my own. If I ask him for news, will he take me some money?" She asked, still looking at Duanmu Ran who was walking in front and about to disappear from her sight, and did not forget that they were doing news transactions.
"It depends on what news it is." Duanmu Ran will naturally know everything about the villa, but if it is something else, it is hard to say.
Qiqi pursed her lips, knew what he meant, and stopped asking.
As soon as he left Wuxia Pavilion, two delicate female voices suddenly came from the front: "Miss Mu is finally out."
Two beautiful figures came from both sides. The woman in red clothes came to her first. She looked at Chu Jiangnan and saluted her, then smiled at Qiqi and said, "We have been here for a whole morning, and finally waited until Miss Mu came out."
"I've seen Miss Mu." Another person in yellow dress looked at Qiqi after saluting Chu Jiangnan and smiled gently: "There were too many people in the front yard last night, and we didn't treat Miss Mu well, so please forgive me."
When a woman talks, the man shouldn't have interrupted, but seeing that Qiqi's eyes were full of doubts, Chu Jiangnan said indifferently: "These two are the wives of Lord Ji."
The two leaned towards him again. The two smells of different but equally pungent powder came, which made Chu Jiangnan, who had always resisted this kind of smell, unable to help but frown with a thick eyebrows and a hint of impatientness.
Qiqi already felt his impatience, but it was a bit difficult for Ji Wushuang to refuse these two wives.
Before she could speak, Ji Wushuang, who was walking in front of her, had already come to the front and smiled awkwardly, "It's two subordinates who are ignorant. The little girl is ignorant and disturbs the girl. Please forgive me."
After last night, when I saw Qiqi today, he had already claimed to be subordinate like he was facing Chu Jiangnan.
Qiqi knew that after last night, everyone began to regard her as a villa. With the title of junior sister of the owner, she could be considered half of the master.
But it's just half the master.
She smiled and said, "It turned out to be two sisters-in-laws. I didn't know each other just now, sorry."
After taking a step back, she retreated to Chu Jiangnan. She still had a smile on the corner of her lips, but there was a clear distant look in her eyes: "I wonder what happened to the two sisters-in-law looking for Qiqi?"
The two of them are so enthusiastic, I'm afraid it's not because of her relationship with Chu Jiangnan, that these two people want to win over some relationship with her.
Not to mention that the senior brother doesn’t like this kind of relationship-making, she herself is also very resistant.
The two of them could see clearly this distantness, and they thought about it in their hearts, but their faces were the same warm and gentle expressions.
