Chapter 167 A Weird Old Man!

Hearing that, they quickly lowered their heads and followed Chushi WeiMing out of the yard!

Qiao Shu saw this in the dark at this time, and she couldn't help thinking that Yang Zijin seemed to have an unusual relationship with Chushi WeiMing.

Seeing Chushi WeiMing going out, Yang Zijin also got up and went back to her room.

Entering the room, she couldn't help feeling restless. Where did Shuo Ling and Mo Li go?

Was there something wrong? Thinking of that, Yang Zijin decided to ask Xiao Mu.

When she went out of the door again and was about to ask by herself, she decided to ask Runyu to accompany her.

If something happened on the way, her unskilled kung fu would be of no use!

Then she turned around and knocked on Runyu's door.

"Who?" She heard Runyu's voice from the room.

Yang Zijin replied, "Runyu, it's me."

For a moment, Runyu's door was opened.

"What's the matter with you, Your Highness?" Runyu looked at her and asked.

At this time, Yang Zi said with a smile, "Well, I want to go out, so I want to trouble Young Master Run to accompany me."

"OK." Runyu nodded his head without thinking.

Yang Zijin remembered that Xiao Mu was assigned to the city gate of Jiandu, and then she and Run Yu walked towards the city gate.

At this time, Mo Li had already arrived in State Sui, inquired about the whereabouts of the craftsman all the way, and finally knew that the man's name was Liang Cheng. After inquiring all the way, Mo Li came to a village.

Just arriving at the village, Mo Li saw several people chatting near the entrance to the village.

At this time, those people also saw Mo Li and realized that he was a stranger. One of the old men asked, "Young man, where are you going?"

Hearing that, Mo Li got off the horse and led the horse to those people. At this time, he replied, "Sir, does Liang Cheng live in this village?"

"Liang Cheng? Are you talking about the craftsman that we called Old Liang?" Upon hearing this, the old man frowned slightly and then asked Mo Li.

Hearing that, Mo Li couldn't help but smile and say, "So, you know him, right? Where does he live?"

The old man shook his head at this moment, and then asked, "Young man, do you have something to ask him?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Liang's handcraft is very good. I want to ask him to help build things. Sir, could you please tell me where he lives?" Then Mo Li nodded and asked again

The old man sighed after hearing that, and then said, "I can tell you where Old Liang lives, but he has a strange temper. It is difficult to ask him to do something. Good luck!"

The old man said and reminded Mo Li.

At this moment, Mo Li smiled and said to the old man, "Sir, just tell me where Mr. Liang lives. I will solve it myself."

Mo Li said and looked at the old man.

"You are so determined, then I will tell you. Go along this road and turn when you reach the third fork in the road. Old Liang lives in a thatched cottage in the west." Then the old man said.

After knowing the route, he thanked the old man, turned and got on his horse, and headed for the direction that the old man said.

Following the direction pointed out by the old man, he really found the thatched cottage.

In order to show sincerity, Mo Li got off the horse before he came to the thatched cottage, tied the horse to a big tree, and walked to the cottage.

When he walked in, he found that it was not too much to call this place a paradise.

Both sides of the hut were full of green vegetables, and there was a small stream on the east side of the hut with a bridge on it.

The style of the bridge made Mo Li admire Liang Cheng, whom he had never met before!

So he took a few quick steps and came to the thatched cottage.

Seeing that the door was not locked, and then Mo Li stood there and called him in a low voice, "Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, are you there?"

Mo Li called twice, and no one responded in the room!

So Mo Li went into the house and saw Liang Cheng sleeping, then he sat aside and waited for him to wake up.

Yang Zijin and Runyu also arrived at the city gate of Jiandu at this time.

When Xiao Mu saw Yang Zijin, he greeted her. "Hi, Your Highness, Mr. Run."

Yang Zijin nodded, then asked him, "Xiao Mu, do you know where Marquis Shuo and Mo Li went?"

"His Highness and Mo Li left the day before yesterday and rode out of Jiandu." At this moment Xiao Mu said.

Hearing that, Yang Zijin quickly asked, "Do you know what they went out to do?"

"Your Highness, I really don't know." Xiao Mu said, scratching his head embarrassedly.

Yang Zijin nodded after hearing that, and then said, "I see."

Then she turned and walked away.

She can't help thinking where they went. They even didn't leave a message. Shuo Ling, I would fix you when you came back, since you made me so worried.

Runyu seemed to know Yang Zijin's thoughts and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I think Marquis Shuo will be fine."

"I don't care whether he is fine or not. Let's go back quickly." Yang Zijin said at this moment and speeded up the pace.

Runyu saw this, smiled, and shook his head, then followed her.

As for Mo Li, he had waited for almost an hour when Liang Cheng just turned over on the bed, and then stretched and opened his eyes.

When Mo Li saw Liang Cheng wake up, he quickly went forward and gave a bow. "Hello, Mr. Liang."

"Who are you? Are you staying here for a while?" Hearing the voice, Liang Cheng sat up quickly and saw Mo Li standing in front of the bed.

He was a thin old man with silver hair and a long beard, and he was watching Mo Li standing in front of the bed.

At this time, Mo Li replied, "My name is Mo Li, and I have been in for a long time. I saw you were taking a nap and I did not dare to bother, so I waited here."

"Then why do you come to me?" Then Liang Cheng asked Mo Li.

Hearing that, Mo Li quickly replied, "I heard that you have superior skills. I came here to ask you to be responsible for building the dam!"

"Building the dam? Which dam?" Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng asked Mo Li.

At this time, Mo Li said quickly, "It is the dam in Jiandu!"

"No way!" Immediately as Mo Li said, Liang Cheng refused without thinking.

Hearing that, Mo Li was confused, and then asked him, "Sir, why? Building a dam is a good thing for the people, why..."

"Maybe you don't know the reason, so I'll tell you. I have established a rule that I never accept the offer involving the government." At this moment Liang Cheng said to Mo Li.

After hearing that, Mo Li still wanted to say something, but only heard Liang Cheng say again at this time, "I think you are polite, so I did not drive you away like others, who might be driven out once they went in. In any case, I would never take the job of the government. You can go now."

Seeing he was so determined while speaking, Mo Li had to give up at present.

Then he gave a salute to Liang Cheng, and then said, "Goodbye, sir. Please forgive me."

Liang Cheng turned around, and no longer looked at the Mo Li.

After leaving the hut, Mo Li couldn't understand why Liang Cheng didn't take the job of the government.

Maybe something had happened during this period, so Mo Li decided to find out before coming to visit.

...

Yang Zijin and Run Yu returned to the courtyard and saw Shen Yang and his fellows from the imperial hospital in the courtyard, including Qiao Shu.

"Mr. Shen, what's up..." Yang Zijin then stepped forward and asked.

When Shen Yang heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was Yang Zijin. He said with a smile, "Now the plague in Jiandu has been brought under control, and there are still some people who have not recovered, but they are all getting better. There is nothing serious. So we would like to tidy up and report to Marquis Shuo, but he has not come back. Your Highness, do you know where he has gone?"

"I don't know. If you are anxious to return to the Imperial City, I will tell him when he comes back." Yang Zijin shook her head and then said.

Shen Yang said at this time, "It doesn't matter, and then we'll wait for His Highness to come back. Anyway, there's nothing needed to do these days."

Hearing that, Qiao Shu couldn't help but gulp. If they left now, she could not reply to Lan Ruojing when she went back. Now Lan Ruojing had known her secret, so it could not be delayed. It seemed that she should start her plan as soon as possible.

Mo Li first came to State Sui to find a merchant selling grain, but he visited many stores and was told that almost all grain had been sold. There was a little left.

Finally, Mo Li had to buy the existing grain from each grain shop, and then contacted the local bank called Sijin, asking them to send this batch of grain to Jiandu.

After everything was arranged, Mo Li returned to the village where Liang Cheng lived.

When he came to the village and did not walk too far, he accidentally met the old man once again, who showed him the direction last time.

Then he dismounted and went to the old man. "Sir, do you remember me?"

"You are... oh, I know. You are the young man who asked for directions last time. Did Old Liang agree? "

"No." Mo Li shook his head and said.

The old man said with a smile, "I knew he wouldn't agree."

"Why are you so sure?" Hearing that, Mo Li asked.

The old man said at this time, "Young man, your dress indicates that you are an official. Is it right?"

Hearing that, Mo Li looked at him and nodded.

"I knew that the old man would not work for the government." The old man said with a smile at this moment.

Mo Li was confused and then asked the old man, "Why?"

"It's a long story." The old man looked at Mo Li and said.

Hearing that, Mo Li quickly asked, "Sir, can you tell me the reason?"

"Before you came here, there were some people from the government who asked Old Liang to build a dam to control the flood." The old man said to Mo Li at this moment.

Mo Li couldn't help but frown after listening. He asked, "You mean he has repaired the dam before?"

"Yes, but..." The old man said, paused, and sighed.

Mo Li quickly asked, "Just what?"

"At that time, Liang Cheng was still very young, and his designs were very practical. Later, when the government heard about this person, they came to him." Then the old man went on to say.

Mo Li asked again at this time, "What happened later?"
