Chapter 128: Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and Southern Xinjiang
Ye Ling stopped, with traces of tears still on his face. He just glanced at Liu Yuntian, then asked coldly: "I am the prince of Daliang, do I need to inform you where I am going?!"
Liu Yuntian crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised one hand to stroke his chin.
His eyes fell on Ye Ling, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "This... is not necessary, I... am just a little curious."
Then a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He walked up to Ye Ling, reached out and gently wiped his face, and asked jokingly, "Your Highness, have you just cried?"
Ye Ling dodged quickly and took a step back, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "What does this have to do with you?!"
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed Liu Yuntian's shoulder away and walked towards the palace.
Liu Yuntian stood sideways, looking at Ye Ling's back, with a faint smile still on his lips.
He murmured to himself: "An opportunity to open up the country's destiny..."
There was a mysterious and deep light in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something important.
As Ye Ling left, Liu Yuntian's figure gradually disappeared from the spot.
......
It's already o'clock in the morning.
After Liu Yuntian had arranged all the new civil and military candidates this year, he slowly let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on the couch.
He reached out, picked up a memorial, and began to read it carefully.
Manager Jin stood quietly by the side, holding a newly made snake-tooth wolf-hair whisk in his hand, as motionless as a sculpture.
Liu Yuntian suddenly raised his head, glanced at Manager Jin, and asked casually, "Didn't I ask you to serve His Majesty? Why do you still have the leisure to come to my place?"
Upon hearing the voice, Chief Steward Jin took a step forward and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Lord Liu, His Majesty is currently discussing matters with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private, and has dismissed us... But please rest assured, Lord Liu, we have arranged spies over there, and if there is any movement, they will be reported back immediately."
Liu Yuntian smiled gently, closed the memorial in his hand, and placed it on the table, then said: "There is no need to be so cautious, give the mother and son some space, let them have a good chat... After all, after this is done, our Crown Prince... I am afraid he will never have a chance to live in this world again..."
After saying this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
But Manager Jin's expression was as calm as a lake, without any ripples, as if nothing in the world could cause ripples in his heart.
As the words fell, Manager Jin retreated quietly to the corner and stood there quietly like a shadow.
Liu Yuntian slowly stood up while rubbing his temples, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and thought.
He turned around and looked at Manager Jin. After a moment of silence, he said, "Take care of this place first. I'm going back to Old Kyoto."
After saying this, he paused for a moment.
Then he sighed softly and added, "The climate here is not very good. I am not used to living here. After the people have moved here and settled down, I will take the troops back."
Manager Jin replied respectfully, "Yes!" His voice was steady and powerful, showing his unconditional acceptance of Liu Yuntian's order.
Liu Yuntian nodded slightly, then walked away. It seemed that Manager Jin was already accustomed to this scene.
Without being too surprised, he just took the new whisk and started to clean the place where Liu Yuntian had just sat. After finishing, he respectfully left the empty room.
......
After returning to Kyoto, Liu Yuntian walked leisurely on the street.
The capital city at this moment has changed greatly compared to before. There are now many more monks walking on the streets of the capital city.
Among them, there was no shortage of people who spotted a familiar figure.
It was the female bandit that I met when I settled in a small country in the southwestern border.
People who were fooled by Liu Yuntian's ability to compose a poem in twenty steps.
What he didn't expect was that this person actually came to Northern Xinjiang.
I thought that with their bandit-like nature they would not dare to come to Northern Xinjiang. After all, under Liu Yuntian's rule, there was no room for bandits to survive in Northern Xinjiang.
"Mr. Liu! You're back!"
At this time, Qi Xing came running over and greeted in a low voice.
Liu Yuntian nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You have good ears and eyes. You knew it when I just came back."
Qi Xing scratched his head in a naive manner, "It was the Jinyiwei boys downstairs who said they spotted you on the street."
Then he continued strolling behind Liu Yuntian.
When passing by the female bandit, the two looked at each other, but only for a moment, and then they looked away.
The female bandits continued to be busy. Liu Yuntian took a special look at what they were doing, and it seemed that they were transporting wood.
When Liu Yuntian first met the female bandit, she was wearing a mask and was missing an arm.
Gu Suo thought Liu Yuntian recognized her, but she did not recognize Liu Yuntian.
Liu Yuntian turned his head, looked at Qi Xing and asked, "Who is that woman?"
Qi Xing hurriedly turned his head to take a look. "He is from Southern Xinjiang, a descendant of an aristocratic family. He practiced in a second-rate sect for a while, but was too playful to concentrate on his practice, so he came out to explore the world."
Then he pointed at the two bandit-like followers behind her and said, "Those two are her junior brothers. They were tricked out by her. Don't be fooled by their big and strong appearance, but they are only fourteen years old! The three of them... are a little silly... and a little childish."
Fourteen? !
Liu Yuntian couldn't help but open his mouth, recalling the momentum of two tall, muscular, scarred, and foot-picking men who stopped him in the city of that small country...
And now tell Liu Yuntian that these two are only fucking fourteen years old? !
If you said these two were fugitive murderers, Liu Yuntian would believe it!
Then he thought of something, Liu Yuntian stopped and looked back.
"Another noble family from Southern Xinjiang?"
His heart suddenly grew heavy. This noble family in southern Xinjiang was so powerful that this young female descendant alone had the cultivation level of the early stage of Golden Core.
He also joined a second-rate sect.
You have to know that when Liu Yuntian sent Qi Xue to a second-rate sect, the Neon Sect put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to arrange things.
In addition, Qi Xue had good talent, so she was fortunate enough to enter a second-rate sect to practice.
But with just a glance, Liu Yuntian had already figured out the other person's strengths and weaknesses.
Her talent is much inferior to Qi Xue's, but the fact that she has achieved Golden Elixir at such a young age shows the strength of the power behind her.
In addition, there is a monster like Fang Qing, who, although he has no cultivation, is extremely intelligent and also comes from a family in southern Xinjiang.
This southern Xinjiang... is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
