Opening an office in Taila

"Your proposal is really crazy." After walking out of the palace, the old Taoist priest said ashamedly.

"I don't think there's any problem. Besides, didn't the Emperor agree? Oh, and I want to thank you for helping me. Thank you for using this opportunity to get a construction team to rebuild the orphanage."

"It's just a small matter. I don't want anything right now anyway, so I might as well help him. Well, consider it as compensation for you. I really trouble you to come here. If it weren't for you, Xiao Yichen probably wouldn't have come with us to Yumen Pass, and the evil demon's chance of killing him would be much smaller." The old Taoist priest patted Song Yufeng's shoulder and said, "But you have to keep an eye on the millet. It's a hot potato."

"Don't worry, I have more than one hot potato on my hands." Song Yufeng smiled helplessly: "Oh, by the way, there is one thing I'm curious about. I killed the Imperial Guards. The Emperor didn't care because my strength far exceeded that of the Imperial Guards. I also killed a major general, who is at least a fourth-rank official. Why didn't His Majesty pursue it? He didn't even mention it."

"You mean that guy named Sha? That's easy to explain. A fourth-rank official, a major general, only brought such a small number of men into Longmen. Even if they were a covert operation, it's still too few. Don't you find it suspicious?"

"So, it is true..."

"Hey, if you ask me, you should pay less attention to what's happening in politics. This is not something you can interfere with right now."

"Nothing much, I just really want to improve."

"Look, you're in a hurry again! Take your time. The emperor is willing to let you return to Longmen now, isn't it to keep an eye on Wei Yanwu? If you do well, you might get a promotion."

"So, when that thousand-man army entered Longmen, Wei Yanwu was worried they were coming to overthrow Longmen. There's no need to take him so seriously."

The old Taoist priest immediately looked at Song Yufeng with a look of ass, and then she said: "You were deceived by that old fellow Wei Yanwu. He is the brother of the current emperor! Moreover, he was the one who gave up the throne and voluntarily gave it to the current emperor. His swordsmanship is at the master level. Do you think such a person would worry about being overthrown by a mere thousand-man army?"

Song Yufeng was stunned. Then he asked him to clear out the Yan State troops stationed in Longmen? Was he worried about being held accountable by the central government?

There's a problem. Could it be that... Wei Yanwu deliberately sent me to my death?

So, are Wei Yanwu and Xiao Pi connected?

Yes, who delivered the letter that Xiaopi was reading at that time to him?

If this is really the case, Wei Yanwu can't escape.

Song Yufeng suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. After all, these were still speculations and there was no actual evidence.

"Okay, then it's time for us to start our journey home. New Year is coming soon. I'm here in advance to wish you a happy new year." Song Yufeng said to the old Taoist priest.

"Well, Happy New Year and have a safe journey." The old Taoist priest smiled, then waved his hand and left.

Song Yufeng then went to the airport, where Shu and Old Man Xiao were already waiting on the aircraft.

"Song Yufeng, why are you doing this?" Shu asked on the aircraft.

"Why do you do this? Well, how should I put it? I simply feel that Simuitai is a bit too inhumane. They just finished a great war, but they want to take you back to Dahuang City like a prisoner. Please, even if you are working hard, you should have your own vacation! What's more, you are someone who has made outstanding contributions to the agriculture of Dahuang City! There is no such thing! Factory owners don't oppress workers so much that they have to work year-round, right? Besides, Sister Shu, aren't you tired? After countless years of farming, hasn't your physical condition declined? The string is too tight, and sooner or later it will break. You should think more about yourself."

Sister Shu smiled and said slowly, "It's still different. Workers are oppressed by factory owners because they create value for them, but they themselves don't feel happy. But I'm different. I work, but it's the people of Dahuang City who enjoy the benefits. I'm very happy."

Sister Shu paused, but then she held Song Yufeng's hand and said, "But I am indeed a little tired. Maybe I should take a break. Thank you, Song Yufeng."
