I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

On the way to Bianjing, there was not much to say.

Although Lin Xuan and his party were rebels, except for Lin Chong, none of them had tattoos or gold seals on their faces.

Lin Chong's case was easy to deal with. Huang Shang prepared a pair of poisons to burn off Lin Chong's flesh, and then applied the wound medicine.

Lin Chong himself was also dark, and when his skin grew back, it was no longer obvious.

In the general environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Shang's third-grade civil servant petition was still very useful.

Everyone put on a little makeup and pretended to be Huang Shang's family members, and the journey was smooth.

Even when entering Bianjing City, Huang Shang showed off and confessed, and the gatekeeper immediately let him go.

***

In a large mansion in Bianliang, Tokyo

When he was in Qingfeng Mountain, Lin Xuan arranged for his innocent subordinates to buy it early in the morning.

After leaving it aside for half a year, it finally came into use.

"Today is the day of Xiu Mu. All civil and military officials are not going to court. According to usual custom, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu should be at home."

Lin Xuan sat in the middle of the inner hall and said with a smile: "We can get started when Wu Yong and Hua Rong come back."

At this time, Tong Guan was still leading troops to fight against Xixia.

Lin Xuan gave up on him.

Although this guy is a eunuch, he is actually a sect of his own, and even Cai Jing doesn't pay much attention to it.

If you keep it, you might be able to keep it in check with the civil servants.

It would be better if Cai Jing died and the civil servants had no one to talk to, and they would create some trouble in order to fight for power and gain.

There is no need to do anything too outrageous. Even if we only get a New Deal v3.0 or something like that, it will consume a lot of national power.

"Teacher Lin, just be patient for a moment longer, and Sajia will accompany you later to kill Gao Qiu's bird."

Lu Zhishen patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and said carelessly.

"I've gotten through these days, and I'm not in a hurry."

Lin Chong nodded, clenched the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, and spoke in a low voice.

"The master, the post has been sent to Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's house. They were both very happy and gave us some silver rewards."

At this moment, Wu Yong and Hua Rong each took a silver ingot and walked into the hall with smiles.

In the morning, Lin Xuan asked Huang Shang to write two posts, asking Wu Yong and Hua Rong to send them to both sides.

One, in the name of Gao Qiu, expressed that he wanted to go to the Taishi Mansion to ask Cai Jing for a calligraphy treasure as a birthday gift for his father.

This is a reasonable request.

After all, there are four popular fonts in the world today, which were created by Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Jing.

These four "Su Huang Mi Cai" are also known as the four masters of Song Dynasty.

The first three have passed away one after another.

Today, Cai Jing is recognized as the number one calligrapher, and his reputation in the calligraphy circle is even better than that of Song Huizong, who created the "thin gold style".

The other was to invite Gao Qiu to the Taishi Mansion in the name of Cai Jing to teach his grandsons on the Cuju skills.

Cai Jingnai was the first civil servant in the dynasty, and he took the initiative to invite Gao Qiu, a military attaché, to visit him. This was already considered a great honor.

Cuju is a sport, although it is not very elegant.

However, I can't stand the current emperor's liking.

Nowadays, it has become a mainstream entertainment activity among scholar-bureaucrats and nobles.

As for Gao Qiu’s Cuju status...

A thousand years have passed, and when others criticize the national football team, they will still criticize Gao Qiu.

What is an international superstar?

"Has Gao Qiu gone out now?"

Lin Xuan nodded and asked.

"Well, Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he saw Old Thief Cai's post and hurried down to take a shower and change clothes."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Xiaosheng waited outside the door for two sticks of incense, and then saw Gao Qiu going out. He should have almost arrived at the Grand Master's residence at this time."

"Well, how are the preparations made by the Taoist priest?"

Lin Xuan nodded and looked at Gongsun Sheng.

"When you take action, if you activate the Royal Forest Army, Xiaodao will automatically cast a spell to activate the celestial phenomena, causing sand and rocks to fly."

Gongsun Sheng was confident: "If no expert takes action, after the incident is completed, Xiaodao will be able to use the Dunjia Talisman to send everyone outside the city."

"Very good, then I'll trouble the Taoist priest."

Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's almost time, everyone, let's set off now and follow the follow-up plan."

After pondering several options, Lin Xuan finally chose this one.

After all, no one is familiar with the terrain of the inner courtyards of Taishi's Mansion and Taiwei's Mansion, and they have no idea where Cai Jing and Gao Qiu sleep at night.

A senior official of this level must be very sensitive to assassinations.

Not to mention the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, the defense must be extremely tight.

It wouldn't be surprising even if we get a few substitutes.

Although this "cool plan" is simple, it does not have any big loopholes. It is difficult to see the problem at a glance.

After all, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one has been so bold as to attack the Taishi Mansion in the capital.

In the same way, even if you borrow Gao Qiu's courage...

He didn't dare to send a substitute to see Cai Jing!

***

The Song Dynasty had a developed economy. Even if the common people had little money, corrupt officials could make real money.

Powerful ministers will basically build mansions, which are not only grand in scale, but also splendid in interior decoration.

The mansion of Cai Jing, a wealthy man, covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. There are pavilions on the mountain, brocade stone roads and artificial lakes at the foot of the mountain.

Famous flowers and plants, strange pines and rocks are densely covered, and the dancing pavilions and terraces are well-proportioned and luxurious to the extreme.

"At this time every day, the master will drink tea alone in the pavilion in front. Lieutenant Gao will go on his own, so we don't dare to disturb him."

Although Gao Qiu's status is not as good as Cai Jing's, he is still a real palace commander and Taiwei, so the servants of Cai's family naturally dare not neglect him.

After a while, he was led to a nine-curved wooden bridge on Jinghu Lake.

At the end of the wooden bridge is a small and exquisite pavilion, where an old man can be seen immersed in tea sets.

"I have met Grand Master Cai."

Gao Qiu took small steps, trotted up to Cai Jing, and bowed deeply.

"Lieutenant Gao, please have some tea."

Hearing Gao Qiu speak, Cai Jing finally raised his head, a smile appeared on his old face, and pointed to the tea in front of Gao Qiu.

He heard Gao Qiu coming early in the morning.

However, for the sake of being a great master...

I can only pretend to be ignorant and immerse myself in tinkering with the tea set.

After all, Cai Jing is an old man in his late seventies.

After a while, my neck became sore and uncomfortable.

Hearing Gao Qiu's words, Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed into a more comfortable position.

"Thank you, Master!"

Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he saw Cai Jing making tea with his own hands. He quickly picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp: "This is really a peerless tea!"

"???"

Cai Jing's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and his smile stiffened.

His tea is old tea made using ancient methods. The first water is used to wake up the tea.

In other words, the first soup is for rinsing the mouth, not for drinking at all.

After all these years, this is the first time Cai Jing has seen someone express a dull expression.

It's hard to stop him.

"Why don't you drink, Grand Master?"

Gao Qiu put down his teacup, looked at Cai Jing, and smiled flatteringly.

"..."

Cai Jing sighed secretly and drank the tea in front of him.

Cai Jing still pays attention to etiquette.

As a guest, you drink like this, so if you don't drink it yourself, it's really not the way to treat guests.

There may be some psychological effect, Cai Jing only felt bitter in his mouth and felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

snort! He is indeed an ignorant and vulgar person!

"Captain Gao, since my father's birthday is coming soon, what do you think I should write for him?"

After all, Cai Jing calmed down his mind and asked in a friendly manner.

"It's just a simple task for a low-ranking official. How dare you bother the Grand Master to personally give him a calligraphy treasure?"

Gao Qiu thought it was Cai Jing's reward for him. He was overjoyed and said quickly: "Grand Master, you can do whatever you want."

He was not a filial son. He was always keen on fame and wealth. He could only provide his family with good food and clothing, but he was too lazy to care about anything else.

For a while, Gao Qiu couldn't remember when his father would celebrate his birthday.

However, this is actually not important.

Cai Jing was a very popular minister and his calligraphy was famous all over the world. It was a very honorable thing to get a job.

My dad...

As long as he didn't die suddenly, he would still live a long life.

When the time comes, just show it off.

"Write a random one? Then... that's okay."

Cai Jing was a little confused and asked puzzledly: "The captain just said that it takes a little effort, what does that mean?"

"The Grand Master is really a noble man who forgets things. Didn't he say that he would send someone down to teach Sun the art of Cuju?"

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Grand Master, I will do my best to teach you."

Cai Jing: "???"
