Chapter 301 Shen Gongbao leaves
'Su Daji' watched Ji Fa leaving with tears in her eyes.
When Jifa's figure completely disappeared from her sight, the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Her face regained its calm and composed expression, as if the fragility just now was just an illusion.
Su Daji gently played with the round fan in her hand and murmured to herself:
"It seems that I have to think of a way to secretly go to the front of the two armies to take a look. It took a lot of effort to deal with Ji Fa, and I can't let all my efforts go to waste just because these two places are separated."
"Now," she paused, as if thinking about something, "let's go discuss it with Ximei and Zijin first, and then make a decision."
After saying this, Su Daji activated her spiritual power, transformed into a beam of white light, and flew out of the mansion.
She was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky, and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
……
Chaoge City, the Imperial Master's Mansion. Pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, and the eaves and corners sway gently in the breeze.
The gurgling water gurgles out from the rockery, winding around the winding path, and finally gathers into a pool of clear water, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the beautiful scenery around.
In this picturesque scene, Luo Shu is sitting in an exquisite pavilion, wearing a gorgeous robe with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending to earth.
On the stone table in front of him was a set of exquisite tea sets. The purple clay teapot was steaming and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, filling the entire pavilion and interweaving with the surrounding natural breath, forming an indescribable harmony.
Luo Shu gently picked up the teacup. The teacup was small and exquisite, with a landscape pattern painted on the cup, like a miniature landscape painting.
He took a sip of tea gently, his brows slightly raised, as if he was savoring the universe in the tea, and as if he was savoring the ups and downs of life.
"Good tea."
Luo Shu praised softly. His voice was clear and magnetic, as pleasant to the ear as a mountain spring.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the silence. Luo Shu looked up and saw Shen Gongbao walking into the pavilion.
"Master Luoshu, it's so relaxing! Drinking tea and reading alone in this quiet place is one of the greatest pleasures in life."
Shen Gongbao's voice contained a hint of laughter, but it could not conceal the unique depth and majesty.
Hearing this, Luo Shu curled up a faint smile, waved his sleeves, made a gesture of invitation, and signaled Shen Gongbao to take a seat.
Then he stood up, picked up the purple clay teapot beside him gracefully, tilted it gently, and poured a cup of warm tea for Shen Gongbao.
Then she gently placed it in front of him. The fragrance of tea instantly spread, interweaving with the night to form a peaceful picture.
"Uncle Shen, that's not true. I am just taking advantage of Yuan Hong and the others going out to take a walk. I have finally managed to steal a few minutes of leisure time."
"On weekdays, they are always around me. It's rare to have such a quiet time."
Luo Shu said as he sat back in his original seat, his tone was somewhat helpless, but also revealed his indifference and enjoyment of life.
Shen Gongbao picked up the teacup, took a sip, his brows relaxed slightly, and he seemed quite satisfied with the taste of the tea.
He slowly put down the teacup, looked at Luo Shu deeply, and said slowly:
"It's strange to say. That day you came to Chaoge with me, and I didn't see Yuan Hong and others following you. How come they came here overnight?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised a mysterious smile. He shook his head slightly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes:
"Uncle Shen, you don't know that this nephew has a treasure in his hand, which he obtained by chance."
"This treasure can carry people and objects, and can travel thousands of miles across space in an instant. Yuan Hong and his companions followed us here by using this treasure."
At this point, Luo Shu paused for a moment, as if recalling something. He took a sip of tea and continued:
"It's just that after arriving in Chaoge, I was delayed because I had to go to the palace to meet the king and deal with many affairs. It was only in the past few days that I thought of them."
Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he didn't care. He just sighed in his heart that Luo Shu had a deep blessing. He leaned forward slightly and said slowly:
"I see. No wonder they've been running outside every day these days. It looks like they've been bored."
"Haha, maybe. Hey, Uncle Shen, I haven't seen you in the past few days. Where have you been?" Luo Shu asked with a smile, with concern and curiosity in his eyes.
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, twirled his beard lightly, and said:
"I've never been to Chaoge before, so I just walked around to get familiar with the environment. After all, I'm a newcomer here, so I have to get to know the local customs first."
He paused and continued, "By the way, Junior Brother Luoshu, I am going to leave Chaoge today."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked in confusion:
"Why is that?"
Shen Gongbao smiled lightly and explained, "Before coming to Chaoge, I was planning to visit Jiulong Island."
"But I didn't expect to meet you, my nephew, on the way. Afterwards, we came to Chaoge City together, and the king appointed me as the liaison officer in front of the battlefield."
"Since I have assumed this position, I must do what I should do. I am going to invite all my friends to come and help Da Shang. This will also allow the king to see my strength."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu nodded slightly, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, as if he could see into the deepest thoughts in people's hearts.
He spoke slowly, his voice gentle and sincere:
"Uncle Shen's words make sense, and I understand. After all, recruiting talents for Dashang is the top priority."
Having said this, Luo Shu paused for a moment, as if considering his next words, and then continued:
"In that case, I will not try to persuade you to stay. But before that, I would like to use this cup of tea instead of wine to serve Uncle Shen."
As he spoke, Luo Shu handed the brewed tea to Uncle Shen. Steam rose from the teacup, carrying a light and elegant fragrance.
Shen Gongbao looked at the Luoshu in front of him, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He took the teacup, took a sip, and said:
"Okay, thank you, nephew."
After a while, the casual conversation between Shen Gongbao and Luo Shu was like light catkins in spring, rising with the wind and slowly falling down, bringing a bit of leisure and comfort.
Afterwards, Shen Gongbao bid farewell to Luoshu and left Chaoge.
After Shen Gongbao left, Luo Shu sat alone in front of the tea table, stroking the warm teacup in his hand. The aroma of tea lingered around him, as if building a quiet barrier for him, isolating him from the noise of the outside world.
He took a sip of the tea. The taste was bitter yet sweet, just like the various aspects of life. Luo Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He thought that there was nothing for him to do for the time being, so why not assist King Di Xin of Shang in rectifying the administration of officials?
