When Xia Hongsheng woke up, the sun was already shining into the house through the window. got up and dressed and opened the door to go out, the bright sunlight shone directly on his face, which made Xia Hongsheng squint his eyes.

"Childe can you rest?" A voice came from the side, and when I turned my head to look, I saw Youji standing there, wearing a long crimson dress in the dazzling sunlight, smiling.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Okay." Did the girl send someone out? This matter needs to be struck while the iron is hot, if the interval is long, it will be difficult for the name of the Red Lotus Fairy to spread. ”

"Tell the son to worry, with the guidance of the son, the concubine already knows what to do." You Ji nodded: "After I came back last night, the concubine body has been arranged, and the people sent have set off overnight." ”

"That'll be fine." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "The girl is already scheming, and she is not as good as the girl." What the girl lacks is only the direction and ideas, as long as the girl points out the direction, clarifies the idea, and believes that the follow-up planning and arrangement, the girl will do better than in the next. ”

"Childe is too modest!" You Ji shook her head, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "I don't know if the son has leisure, and the concubine wants to take the son to meet someone." ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned: "What person?" ”

"Childe will know when he goes." You Ji smiled and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Childe doesn't want to see him, who is arranging me to do things behind my back?" ”

This is to meet the big boss behind the scenes! Xia Hongsheng said in his heart, then nodded with a blank face, and went out with Youji.

The two arrived in the backyard and entered the back hall, and Youji took Xia Hongsheng in, and after sitting down, they didn't hear anyone. The sound arrived first, and a burst of laughter came from behind, and then a person walked into the back hall, arched his hand to Xia Hongsheng, and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Xia Gongzi for a long time, and his literary style is superb." He is also proficient in the way of things, and he has long wanted to see him, and today he finally got his wish. ”

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at the viewer and saw that he was wearing a bronze mask, and he couldn't see his appearance at all. Xia Hongsheng didn't return the salute, let alone get up to greet him, but just turned his head and glanced at it lightly, then lowered his head again and picked up the teacup and drank it, ignoring the visitor.

"Childe. This is the Lord. Yuhime reminded him beside him.

"What's big? What kind of people? Xia Hongsheng looked at Youji, as if the person was not present, and said with a smile: "There is a good saying in this, people have names, ghosts have ghost surnames, even if they are adults, they must have a name after all, so I am still Lord Xia in Chang'an!" I don't even dare to show it to people. also went to grab the world with Li Shimin, but this courage and bearing are a big difference! Yuhime girl. I don't think you should follow him, just set up your own door, and when the time comes, you can be an empress with my assistance. ”

Xia Hongsheng's words made Youji's face change greatly, and he hurriedly looked at the masked man: "My lord......"

The masked man raised his hand, and then smiled, "Young Master Xia." It's not that a certain family is unwilling to show its true face, but there is something unspeakable. This long face has long been burned in the fire, and now it has grown together with the mask, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take it off in this life. ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand and arched. He said to the man, "I see, that's a good way to go." ”

That being said, Xia Hongsheng's attitude didn't show the slightest politeness, and he still sat there motionless. The masked man didn't care, but still smiled: "Xia Gongzi is really ingenious, and the extermination of locusts is even more miraculous, comparable to a miracle. I'm really curious, could it be that Xia Hongsheng is really an immortal disciple? ”

"If this adult has something to say, don't say more." Xia Hongsheng put down the water glass and said directly.

The masked man looked at Yuhime, and the masked man sat down, and then asked, "Since Childe is also a straightforward person, that's fine." Then so-and-so asked directly, why did Childe drive the locust god to throw itself into the fire? Gongzi has the ability to drive locust gods, why not drive those locust gods directly to Chang'an and into the Taiji Palace? ”

Xia Hongsheng glanced at the masked man with a smile and said, "If this adult has such a secret technique, will he let others know how it is carried out?" Besides, why should I tell you? ”

"You!" After all, the masked man couldn't withstand Xia Hongsheng's ridicule, and suddenly stood up.

"Childe, if it's convenient, please look at the concubine's thin face and let me know!" Youji saw that the man was finally angry, and hurriedly said to Xia Hongsheng, and a little pleading could already be heard in his tone.

Xia Hongsheng then withdrew his mocking smile, and turned to the masked man and said, "Although I promised to help you, it was only because of Miss Youji. I've said before that I'm just helping Miss Yuhime, and I'm only going to be Miss Yuhime's staff. Just because I can give advice to Miss Yuji doesn't mean I'm willing to surrender to you. So you don't have to try to woo me, you don't have to try to control me. What are the aspirations of other people, and what does it have to do with me? As for who Miss Yuji is willing to help, that's her own business, and it has nothing to do with me. I thought that I could explain these things clearly, so that this adult would not waste his mind on the body of the subordinate in vain in the future. As for the matter of driving the locusts, since it was Miss Yuji who asked, there was nothing to hide. It's not such a clever means, and it's not a miracle of immortal law. It's just that locusts have the habit of moving towards the light at night, and wherever there is light, they will go. I ordered the villagers to start a fire in the field, and I made people run around the field by beating gongs and startling the locusts, and the locusts were attracted by the fire, and naturally they flew there, and they were burned by the fire. Doesn't the girl smell moths to the fire? It's the same thing. ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, the masked man took a few deep breaths, and then said in a calm voice: "I see." In this way, the method of driving the locust god is not immortal magic. Childe is really talented and can know things that the world does not know. ”

"I know a lot more." Xia Hongsheng smiled at the masked man: "I know astronomy, I know geography, I have walked up and down for 5,000 years, and I know 80,000 miles inside and outside." Why is there a change of day and night, how are there four seasons of change, why is the moon cloudy and sunny, why is the sky windy, snowy, sunny and rainy...... The reason of all things in nature is infinite, and I only know the surface. I have already pointed out the road to you, how to operate in the future, I am not as good as you, if you have any doubts, and let Miss Youji ask. If I had changed to someone else, I would have disdained to talk about it. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng stood up, and didn't care about the Youji and the masked man in the back hall, so he left the back hall by himself and walked towards the courtyard again.

You Ji watched Xia Hongsheng leave in amazement, suddenly turned around and hurriedly saluted: "My lord, my subordinates don't know why Xia Hongsheng is like this, please forgive me, my subordinates ......"

"Don't say it." The masked man's voice was very gloomy, and he took a deep breath: "That Xia Hongsheng has a great talent, and he is young, and it is inevitable that he will be a little crazy. He covets you, and naturally he is polite in front of you. And I ordered him to be held hostage, so naturally he was angry. I won't blame you for that. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Yu Ji nodded and said, "Then the subordinate will retire first." ”

The masked man nodded and let Yuhime out. After Yuhime left, the masked man slammed his fist on the desk.

said that Xia Hongsheng was here, but he was in a very good mood on the way back. Knowing that Youji was going to take him to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, Xia Hongsheng knew that he had been hoping to get another opportunity.

After knowing that although Youji had a high status in this group of remnants, she was not the mastermind behind the scenes, Xia Hongsheng had a thought. coincided with the locust plague, and when You Ji told Xia Hongsheng that it was a punishment from heaven for Li Shimin, Xia Hongsheng took You Ji to destroy the locusts, and took the opportunity to establish the reputation of the Red Lotus Fairy of Youji, so that they could use the locust extermination to win people's hearts. Being able to take the opportunity to collect people's hearts is a good thing for this group of chaotic parties, you can find Xia Hongsheng's way, the further back you go, it is not this group of chaotic parties that has gathered people's hearts, nor is it the leader, but actually Youji who was established by Xia Hongsheng as the image of the Red Lotus Fairy. Today, Xia Hongsheng directly said that he would only help Youji and would not pay attention to others, so that the person who controls everything behind the scenes will inevitably have a gap with Youji. Xia Hongsheng didn't believe that the black hand behind the scenes would be so generous and willingly handed over to Youji the gang of chaotic parties that he had been operating for many years. Therefore, by exterminating locusts to help Yu Ji win the hearts of the people, he treated the masked man like that in the back hall, in the final analysis, it was all to sow discord between Yu Ji and the masked man.

There are many places where locusts are exterminated, and when there is a big movement, the local officials will definitely report it to the imperial court. Xia Hongsheng can roughly think of what the local officials will write about, what locust plague fell from the sky, and people drove the locusts to throw themselves into the fire, a red lotus fairy known as the place where the Taiqing Daode Tianzun Immortal Residence, and the disciple Yunyun who sat down in the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Li Shimin saw this, used his brain to think about those movements, and then contacted this apphation, could he not guess that this was the movement he made here? Naturally, someone will be sent to investigate.

In this way, not only can the imperial court know their situation here, but also can leave hidden dangers within this group of chaotic parties. Sooner or later, Youji will grow bigger and bigger by winning the hearts of the people, and the two will be separated, and they will begin to compete with each other for control of this group of rebels and those cultists, and when the time comes, send spies to infiltrate and provoke each other, so that they can be separated from the inside without the help of the court. In this way, it kills two birds with one stone. (To be continued......)
