Chapter 150 You Have to Learn to Shut Up

"Master, it's windy and snowy outside, please put on some clothes." Eunuch Feng held the cloak and carefully put it on Yuan Zhuo, but Yuan Zhuo didn't care much.

Standing inside the door, staring intently at the three people walking out, there was a faint smile on their faces.

Eunuch Feng stood behind Yuan Zhuo and followed Yuan Zhuo's gaze. Seeing that Yuan Zhuo was looking at the three people walking out, he asked in confusion, "The slaves are stupid, will they agree to the master's proposal? If they resist to the end, wouldn't it be..."

"They will agree!" Yuan Zhuo said with certainty, clasping his hands behind his back, without concealing his disdain for the three people outside.

Eunuch Feng has already flattered you, so he will stop immediately, "Master declares."

"What a slave!" Yuan Zhuo laughed loudly and seemed to be in a much better mood. He smiled and joked, "My eldest companion is getting more and more naughty. I thought I would ask to the end."

"A slave is stupid and ignorant, how can he understand military and state affairs? A slave just listens to his master's orders and does things."

It wasn't until the three of them disappeared outside the palace gate that Yuan Zhuo turned around and walked inside. Eunuch Feng quickly closed the door and waved to the eunuch on duty to change the charcoal fire.

After Yuan Zhuo sat down under the altar, he took the tea from Eunuch Feng and explained, "These people may look like gods, but they are not gods after all!"

"As long as those fields are still in their hands, they will only think that I am borrowing them, and I have to pay them back, and they can't run away..."

"Oh, they have forgotten the saying "All the land in the world is the land of the king." Those fields are not theirs, but mine! Can a martial artist still be able to hold a sword after cultivating the fields for several years?"

Yuan Zhuo's smile was gone when he put down the tea cup, and he said to himself longingly, "Peace in the world... is not far away. Twenty years of dormancy is worth it!"

Eunuch Feng knew very well that he could not speak at this time, so he held the tea cup and stepped aside without saying a word.

...

On the Shengjing Foreign Official Road, several carriages drove south. Although there was heavy snow in the sky, the carriage still maintained a very fast speed, regardless of the feelings of the people in the carriage.

In the leading carriage, Zhao and Lu Wenyu sat opposite each other. Since setting off, Zhao has either been sleeping or in a daze. After all, Lu Wenyu is sitting next to him and his space cannot be exposed.

"Muzhi, how does the mountain compare with the capital?" Lu Wenyu asked as if he was out of words.

Isn’t this nonsense? You’ve been freezing for half a month in the mountains, and how do you compare with the capital? Zhao Jiu's eyebrows were drooped. He really couldn't cheer up after sleeping for a long time. He said feebly, "The capital is good."

After saying "Cherish words like gold", I closed my eyes. In such idle and boring days, I can only sleep.

But Lu Wenyu didn't seem to want to let Zhao Ji go. She raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, trying to attract Zhao Ji's attention.

"Fifth Master, if you are bored, just go to bed. We two eldest men, and I don't have a Longyang habit, so don't worry."

Then he said, "Let me make it clear first that I can't lose even a penny of my money. This is what we discussed before we came here. Let me be honest, Mr. Wu, the money you have to pay for your life..."

After a pause, Zhao said decisively, "You can't be greedy!"

Lu Wenyu's mouth twitched. Does this kid have anything else in mind besides money? The three words are inseparable from the silver, as if he is just an empty shell, and the three souls and seven souls are all silver.

"Don't you, kid, have other things besides money in your eyes?" Lu Wenyu asked in confusion.

"And gold!"

"..." Lu Wenyu was completely speechless. He was 100% sure that this kid was a puppet controlled by money.

The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely awkward for a moment. Lu Wenyu adjusted his mood and asked seriously, "After that boy from Tianshi Mansion came down the mountain, the mountain has been so calm that it was scary. You must have seen something..."

"I saw something, but I don't know if it's right or not. But since you've already gone up the mountain, I guess my guess is pretty much right." Zhao said calmly, there was no need to hide this. Lu Wenyu is not a fool. The mountain has been calm for so many days, so he can't miss any clues.

Lu Wenyu nodded. He was not surprised that Zhao could see something. It would be abnormal if other people saw something wrong.

He really didn't want to kill more people.

"They know too?"

"Hmm..." Zhao knew of course that they were referring to those people. He nodded and asked, "Do you want to kill them? One thousand taels per person, they are innocent."

"Hahaha" Lu Wenyu laughed out loud at Zhao's serious look, and asked with a smile, "Do you think it's much harder for me, a great master, to kill them than to kill a few chickens?"

"Aren't you afraid of dirtying Master Wu's hands?"

Lu Wenyu didn't take such random excuses to heart and asked curiously, "How did you see that? I remember I didn't say anything..."

"No, you actually said everything, but you didn't say it clearly and plainly."

"Oh?" Lu Wenyu became interested, sat up straight in the carriage, and looked at him in confusion.

Zhao just stared at Lu Wenyu motionless, and said something very incomprehensible, "You are too powerful, it is unreasonable."

Just because of this? Lu Wenyu was shocked. He also understood that this was a bit unreasonable, but just because of this?

Seeing that Lu Wenyu didn't speak, Zhao continued to explain, "You are worth more staying in the capital than escorting us. It is not normal to sacrifice one's roots and pursue the bottom. In addition, the emperor would actually agree to a child's play oath not to fight. Do you think it is normal?"

"So, in summary, there is only one possibility: the oath of non-war is just a reason to transfer you. As for the purpose, you will know when you arrive in the capital."

After listening, Lu Wenyu nodded in approval and said, "The emperor was assassinated..."

"Good reason."

"Hahaha, you are smart!" Lu Wenyu couldn't help but praise him. This kid really understood it at once. He simply asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I won't go up the mountain?"

"It's just making more money. What's there to be afraid of? Doing business is afraid of making more money?" Zhao Jue leaned against the carriage leisurely and said indifferently.

"Don't talk nonsense, understand? Sometimes you have to learn to shut up if you want to make money."

After Lu Wenyu said this, he stopped talking and leaned against the carriage to read a book, as if nothing had happened just now. Zhao Jue was also happy to be idle and continued to practice with his eyes closed. You could hear a pin drop in the carriage.

The carriage traveled during the day and hid at night for six consecutive days.

Finally, on the seventh day, it returned to the capital and stopped at the Jinyiwei Yamen in the evening.

The middle and high-ranking Jinyiwei were already waiting in front of the yamen, and even some of the thousand households and hundred households without errands were there, and it was crowded with people.

Lu Wenyu and Zhao, who had been sitting all the way, were the first to get off the carriage, and someone among the waiting people immediately opened an umbrella to shield the two from the snow.

"Fifth Master and Lord Zhao are back, and you have worked hard in the wind and snow. The brothers have already prepared a welcoming banquet. If Fifth Master hadn't come back, we wouldn't have been able to eat."

"Okay, let's all go in. We're tired all the way, so we have to take a shower and change clothes first." Lu Wenyu smiled and greeted everyone, and then ordered, "Come on, a few people, arrange accommodation and food for the young men in the carriage."

Several thousand households and hundred households took the order to do it, and Zhao followed behind Lu Wenyu, feeling emotional in his heart.

"Finally back!"
