Qiu Yizhi was shocked when he heard this and thought: With Yuchi Lianghong's shrewdness and martial arts skills, how could he be easily followed? Then he winked at his brother, who was an outstanding martial artist, and said softly: "Brother, let's go and have a look."
Yuchi Lianghong nodded silently, immediately stood up from his seat, quietly jumped to the door, opened the door cautiously and took a look, immediately burst into laughter, but said to Ruan Wenlong: "Mr. Qian, it turns out that these are your three The kids are eavesdropping here."
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but Ruan Wenlong said angrily to the three children: "Go, go, the adults are talking here, what are you kids eavesdropping on?" As he said that, he took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to them. Give them, "Here, use these copper coins to buy candies. Don't spend them randomly."
Ruan Wenlong's three children took the coins and jumped out of the yard.
Qiu Yizhi watched them leave, nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Ruan Qian's family happiness is really enviable!"
Ruan Wenlong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Oh! Didn't the villain just tell His Highness? If this battle continues, the villain will no longer be able to support his wife and children."
"That's why I'm here!" Qiu Yizhi took over the words.
"What do you say, Your Highness?" Ruan Wenlong asked.
Qiu Yizhi heard that Ruan Wenlong was attracted by her words, so she took a sip of tea slowly, and then slowly said: "General Ruan Qian, this official position, haha, although this official position is very small, the responsibilities and powers are very effective. Don’t you want to run a good business here?”
Ruan Wenlong was surprised when he heard this: He is an expert here - the so-called "business" is just using this feather-like command arrow to let businessmen jump in queues, evade taxes, and send some prohibited items through customs - this happened just now I had already spoken to King Youyan, his adopted son, why did he bring it up again in the blink of an eye
He thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "This little power in the hands of a villain is just to provide convenience to passing merchants and earn some reward money. How else can it be run?"
Qiu Yizhi replied: "Mr. Ruan Qian said it well! If you provide convenience to those merchants, you will get real gold and silver. If you provide convenience to my foster father, Prince Youyan, you will get unlimited future!"
Ruan Wenlong was startled when he heard this. The hand holding the tea bowl couldn't help but shake violently. The water in the bowl spilled all over the table. His voice was trembling just by hearing his words: "Your Highness, this is not a joke. Nothing else can be done." It's easy to say, this is a big deal. If this thing is revealed, I will be dead and my wife and children will be killed too!"
Qiu Yizhi heard what he said, but it turned out that he was a family man. With concerns about him, he also had something to grasp, so he smiled and said: "President Ruan Qian is just now thinking about establishing a clear relationship with me? It's a pity that this plan is not successful. Well, it’s too late!”
Ruan Wenlong saw Qiu Yizhi in front of him, although his face was gentle, but his words revealed endless murderous intent. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He could only hold his breath and listen to Qiu Yizhi as he continued: "I have a bad memory. In this short year, During this period, I passed through Tongguan four or five times. Every time, thanks to Mr. Qian’s care, I walked smoothly and brought a lot of good things to Beijing... "
"What good stuff?" Ruan Wenlong interjected.
Qiu Yizhi "hum hum" sneered twice: "Perhaps Mr. Qian has heard about how Prince Youyan left the capital city in the first place?"
"It is said that it happened to be a lightning strike that collapsed the Jianchun Gate, allowing the prince to escape." Ruan Wenlong suddenly lowered his voice mid-sentence, "Because of this, everyone said that the prince is the real dragon... The real dragon emperor, Ji People have their own destiny.”
"Hahaha!" Qiu Yizhi smiled heartily, "These are just the ravings of foolish people in the countryside. I used gunpowder to blow up the Jianchun Gate. As for where the gunpowder came from... I was the one who blew it down. It was hidden in the car of Zhou Cijing, a senior official, and was sent to the pass by Mr. Qian. "
"This... this..." Ruan Wenlong was so flustered that he couldn't even finish his sentence. "Your Highness never knew that a villain would make such a big noise. How can the villain afford the punishment?"
Preparing explosives to blow up the capital city gate was originally Qiu Yi's quick wit when he was desperate, but his words made it sound like he had planned it in advance. However, the cause and effect were not proportional at this time. It was just that Ruan Wenlong was not very smart and was frightened by Qiu Yizhi, so he did not discover the flaw.
But Qiu Yizhi laughed again and said: "At that time, I was just prepared, but I didn't expect that it would be of such great use. I couldn't help but implicate Mr. Qian. When the court investigates, Mr. Ruan Qian can't help but ask about his negligence. Whether it’s due to his duty or the crime of instigating the enemy to commit rebellion, I’m afraid that a knife in Caishi’s mouth would be considered an advantage, so he must be executed without delay in order to comply with the laws of the Han Dynasty, right?”
Ruan Wenlong was frightened by Qiu Yizhi and lost consciousness several times. He finally regained consciousness and finally found that he had been pinched to death by Qiu Yizhi for no reason. So he slumped in the chair and said: "Your Highness has really hurt me. He's gone..." But he couldn't speak anymore.
Qiu Yizhi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian's words are quite biased. Master Ruan's actions are a heinous crime in the eyes of the imperial court. If it were done by my adoptive father, he would be a man of all powers. It’s all thanks to the earth.”
Ruan Wenlong was happy and surprised after hearing Qiu Yizhi's words, and said hurriedly: "The villain just did some small things unintentionally, how dare he take credit in front of the prince? If the prince can see that the villain is afraid, For my sake, give me some silver to help me tide over the difficulties, I will be very grateful."
Everyone Qiu Yizhi talks to on weekdays is not smart and clever. Even someone like Zhao Chengxiao, who is honest and honest, is also a thoughtful person. But Ruan Wenlong has no ambition and a dull mind, so he can't understand Qiu Yizhi. The words within the words.
Therefore, Qiu Yi had no choice but to make her words clear: "Mr. Ruan Qian, don't be short-sighted. If Mr. Qian can defect to the prince and work for the prince with all his heart, then promotion and fortune will be just around the corner! I dare not say it if I am too high. Your official title cannot escape you, I can guarantee this!"
"What? General Zhonglang?" Ruan Wenlong cried out.
Among the ranks of military attachés in the Han Dynasty, those above Zhonglang Jiang were generals. Their treatment and ceremonial life were very different from those of lower-level officers. Ruan Wenlong is now only a thousand-year-old general. He is still two levels short of captain and inspector before he is a lieutenant general. Without the help of noble people, he may never be able to become a general in his life.
When Qiu Yi saw Ruan Wenlong's appearance, he smiled and said, "That's natural. If I can say a few more kind words to my adoptive father while he's happy... then I'm afraid the general's future will be even more limitless!" He had quietly changed his title.
However, although Ruan Wenlong was greedy, he was still somewhat cautious. He took a breath of cold air and said: "What your Highness said is certainly true. But I can't say it nicely. The prince is making trouble now. His arms can't twist his thighs. Why?" Can you defeat the imperial court?"
Qiu Yizhi sneered: "Mr. Qian is right, 'the arm cannot twist the thigh', but has Mr. Qian ever thought about who is the arm now? Who is the thigh? I'm afraid Mr. Qian also knows the situation in the past month." , my adoptive father was so powerful that he defeated 150,000 imperial troops with less and more, and fought all the way to Tongguan. Who dared to stop him? Even if Zheng Yao appointed the old general Bai Wenbo as his commander, he would only dare to be one. It can be said that the only person in the court who can fight against my adoptive father is Marshal Dai Luanxiang, but he was also relieved of military power by Lord Zheng Yaohun, and—"
Qiu Yizhi deliberately lengthened his tone, only for Ruan Wenlong to ask impatiently: "And what?"
"And Marshal Dai was rescued by me while he was being escorted to Luoyang!" Having said this, Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but smile on his face.
"What! Your Highness is serious about what he said!" Ruan Wenlong asked in shock.
Qiu Yizhi replied calmly: "What kind of person is Marshal Dai? How dare I talk nonsense here?" He then pointed at Yuchi Lianghong and said, "This is the current leader of the martial arts alliance, Great Hero Weichi. Many things depend on the power of Hero Yuchi. If Mr. Qian doesn’t believe it, you can ask him.”
In just a few words, Ruan Wenlong was frightened repeatedly by Qiu Yizhi and was already numb, so he asked: "You, are you really the hero Yuchi?"
Yuchi Lianghong cupped his hands and said very freely: "What's so great about Yuchi Lianghong? What's the use of trying so hard to pretend to be him? If I'm not talented, I'm just Weichi Lianghong."
Ruan Wenlong has been working in Tongguan for a long time, and has seen a lot of the three religions and nine schools. Of course he has heard of Yuchi Lianghong's name, and also knows that he is known as the best martial arts in the world, and he is the Taishan Beidou in the world, but he did not expect to be so young.
Ruan Wenlong finally sighed and said: "Since it is the hero Yuchi who speaks, it must be true. It's just that the villain can't imagine that someone as extraordinary as the hero Yuchi has also taken refuge in Prince Youyan?"
Qiu Yizhi heard that his words were not very respectful, so he hurriedly took over and said: "My adoptive father is ordered by heaven, and people's wishes are the same. Not to mention the great hero Yuchi, even Dai Luanxiang, Marshal Dai, also intends to serve for my adoptive father. Why doesn’t General Ruan give up the secret and surrender immediately?”
Ruan Wenlong lowered his head and pondered. There were only two ways before him:
One is to ignore Qiu Yizhi and immediately report it to the superiors. However, if he passed through Tongguan several times and confessed under the three punishments and five codes, he would inevitably be held accountable. Even if the merits and demerits are balanced, and one life is saved by chance, his advantage will naturally be gone.
The second is to seek refuge with Zheng Rong, King of Youyan. If Zheng Rong succeeds and becomes emperor, then he will be able to support him, and then the small title of Qian Zongzong will no longer be in his eyes. If Zheng Rong was completely defeated, then he would also fall into a place of eternal destruction along with him.
This is an extremely difficult multiple-choice question!
Ruan Wenlong pondered for a long time and raised his eyes to see the three people in front of him: Qiu Yi was young, promising and unfathomable; Yuchi Lianghong was handsome and powerful in martial arts; even Zhao Chengxiao, the most unspectacular person, was powerful and loyal. Top talents like this all serve under King Zheng Rong of Youyan.
But what about the court? Leaving aside the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, what Ruan Wenlong saw with his own eyes was that they were all shameless people who were greedy for money. Even one or two talented people with both ability and political integrity were framed and squeezed out. How can these people compete with Prince Youyan
Thinking of this, Ruan Wenlong finally made up his mind, stood up suddenly, knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Yizhi and said: "I have made up my mind, I will go to the prince! Please make a recommendation for me, your highness!"
Seeing that she had finally convinced him, Qiu Yizhi felt relieved. She immediately picked him up and said with a smile, "My adoptive father also heard about General Ruan's military deeds. I'm just a commoner. How dare I use it indiscriminately?" What about the word "recommend"
Ruan Wenyuan said, "Don't dare, don't dare," and then added: "It was just a villain's unintentional act before. In fact, the prince has no great merit. I hope that your highness can teach me some skills, so that the villain can become the prince." Follow the work of dogs and horses." (To be continued)
