"You don't say it now." Duan Ling said, "I won't have a chance to say it in the future."
"You talk first." Wu Du said, "I think you are just greedy for the master's good work, and you have to be obedient to wait on the bed. In the future, you will be old and fading, and it is estimated that you will go to others."
As soon as he said this, it was Duan Ling's turn to flush red.
"I... uh." Duan Ling said hurriedly, "If you don't teach me, I didn't understand it at all. I think about it..."
Duan Ling actually thought about it seriously, and after a while, Chao Wu Du said, "That day on the city wall of Tongguan, I just... um, it should be that time."
Wu Du was inexplicable, and then remembered that day when he was wearing armor, he rushed back to save him all the way, and he was still injured, and he simply didn't want to mention it again.
"It's your turn." Duan Ling said, "When is it?"
Wu Du thought for a while, and was about to answer when the wonton was served.
"Please use it slowly." Lang Junxia said.
Duan Ling was taken aback and made a subconscious defensive action, but Lang Junxia was still silent and put down the wooden plate.
A bowl of noodles, a bowl of wontons, and a letter were placed on a wooden plate.
Duan Ling is no longer like before. He was nervous when he saw Lang Junxia and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm leaving." Lang Junxia replied calmly. Wu Du took the letter and glanced at him with a hostile expression. Lang Junxia went downstairs. After a while, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and he actually left.
Wu Du opened the letter, frowning as he read the letter.
"What's wrong?" Duan Ling asked a little uneasily.
"In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Ye Mu Kuangda will set up a banquet." Wu Du said, "I don't know what he wants to do if I want to invite the prince and his ministers to the banquet."
Lang Junxia's letter should have been sent to the owner of the No. 1 stall in the world, and then forwarded to Li Yanqiu. He still didn't know that Duan Ling and Wu Du had returned to the Mu Mansion.
When Duan Ling heard the news, a mid-autumn feast in which the old emperor set fire to his ministers in the history books immediately appeared in his mind, and he thought fortunately that he returned to Mu Kuangda, otherwise he would not be able to find out what happened at this time.
"Go back and inquire about the situation." Duan Ling doubted what plans Mu Kuangda and Han Bin had planned, but first of all, he had to know who was coming to the banquet.
In the East Palace, Cai Yanfang took a nap and was in a trance. There was a post by Mu Kuangda on the table.
"This is not in line with the rules." Cai Yan read Mu Kuangda's invitation and said, "The late emperor is still in suspension, and all the celebrations in the palace will be suspended. He is so bold."
"Actually, it's in line with the rules." Feng Duo replied earnestly, "When Emperor Wu died, the late Emperor of the Mid-Autumn Festival still held a banquet on the grounds of 'comforting the ministers and stopping the grief'. Before His Highness ascended the throne, it stands to reason that he must Civil and military officials once had a 'sorrow meeting'."
"The minister minister issued an edict in the name of the queen mother." Feng Duo added, "It happened to be on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, there was still mourning in the false care palace, the queen mother hoped that she would be quiet, the Mid-autumn night banquet was changed to the shepherd's house, the prince moved the car, and the minister minister was the host. It's reasonable to say that it's reasonable."
"Who will go?" Cai Yan asked.
"My minister asked Wuluohou Mu to go out to inquire." Feng Duo replied, "Xie You must be present, Han Bin should also be there, the cabinet's three treasures... Su Clan may go, and the rest will respond, presumably They are Huang Jian and others."
"Wang Shan's whereabouts are unknown." Cai Yan paced repeatedly and said, "It really makes me uneasy."
Feng Duo: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, even if Wang Shan shows up, he can't do anything when he is the prime minister of the night. As long as Wang Shan shows up, we will take the initiative."
Cai Yan asked, "Where do you think he might be?"
"I guess when the assassins ambushed that night, Wu Du was seriously injured." Feng Duo replied, "That's why they didn't dare to act rashly, one person against a hundred people, even with the emperor's armor on his body, it is impossible to completely protect his entire body. Retreat. On the bright side, Wu Du may have died of serious injuries."
"What will Mu Kuangda say?" Cai Yan thought that Mu Kuangda would not do meaningless things, and to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it is very likely that he had to stabilize himself and pretend to be loyal.
Cai Yan is still optimistic about the current situation. Ever since Feng Duo knew his identity, it has become slightly different from before. Everything is planned and then moved, maybe it should not have been hidden from him.
Although Feng Duo still failed to get rid of Duan Ling and Wu Du, at least it bought them time.
Feng Duo thought for a long time and said, "There is a 70% chance that it is allegiance to His Royal Highness."
"What about the other 30%?" Cai Yan asked.
"The other 30% is evidence that he has that we don't know." Feng Duo replied with a frown, "but the possibility is very small. Unless he intends to act immediately, it is unwise to reveal the last reliance now. Your Highness. , Forgive me to take the liberty, you and Wuluohou Mu have been clear about what happened back then?"
"That's right." Cai Yan said, facing this question, he was still a little uncomfortable, avoiding Feng Duo's gaze. Although he knew that telling him was his only way out, the more people who knew about it, the more danger there was.
What is even more difficult is that once Feng Duo has mastered his details, he has a sense of crisis that he will be caught at any time.
"In those days my grandfather, my father, my mother..." Cai Yan said solemnly, "The Cai family has 117 members, exiled and executed..."
When Feng Duo heard this, he was instantly shocked.
"Are you from the Cai family in Guanzhong?" Feng Duo whispered.
"Yes." Cai Yan said, "it's your sister's distant relative, the Cai family. Emperor Liao was caught in a countermeasure, and under the persuasion of Han Weiyong of the South Academy, he beheaded my Cai family. My brother took me with him that year. Escaped from Zhongjing, went to Yelu Dashi, and the wind was full of chasing soldiers..."
Cai Yan fell into the memory of the past, and Feng Duo stood silently by the side, and after a long time, the sound of footsteps, Lang Junxia came back.
"How is it?" Cai Yan looked up at Lang Junxia.
"Xie You, the commander of the Black Armored Army, Su Clan, a cabinet scholar, Cheng Yuan, a cabinet clerk, Han Bin, the Great General of the North, Yao Fu, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Zheng Qin, the Prefect of Shandong." Lang Junxia replied.
With so many people, Mu Kuangda should not be able to play any tricks.
"Where's Zheng Yan?" Cai Yan thought of a forgotten person. Since Li Yanqiu's death, Zheng Yan has been a little lost. Although he spends most of his time in the East Palace, he rarely speaks. Later, Cai Yan saw that he had never come out of this matter, so he let him do whatever he wanted, and it was fine to relax in the city, but he could not leave Jiangzhou.
"He often drinks at the first stall in the world these days." Lang Junxia replied.
Excusable, Cai Yan hardly ever doubted Zheng Yan's actions. At most, he thought that he was sent by Yao Fu, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and would he still go to that side. But Yao Fu rarely saw Zheng Yan during this time, so he dispelled his doubts.
"Who should I see next?" Cai Yan asked, cheering up.
"Yao Fu." Feng Duo replied, "We now have the support of Xie You and Han Bin, and now we will come to Yao Fu."
"Who should I see next?" Duan Ling asked on the way back to Mufu.
Wu Du thought for a while and replied, "Now that we have Xie You in our hands, are we going to see Yao Fu?"
Yao Fu didn't know that Li Yanqiu was still alive. Although Duan Ling was reluctant to speculate with the greatest malicious intent on human nature, in Yao Fu's eyes, Li Yanqiu was dead.
Whoever he supports may become the new emperor. Duan Ling believed what Li Yanqiu had said earlier that Zhao Kui moved the capital to Xichuan because he was afraid of Huaiyin waiting for Yao Fu. Although the Marquis of Huaiyin was amiable on the surface and harmless to humans and animals, it was definitely not that simple.
Sooner or later, the Li family will eradicate Yao Fu, a local tyrant, and complete the final centralization of Dachen Jiangshan. Yao Fu is also very clear in his heart, it depends on how the two sides do the transaction.
Today's Jiangzhou is like a game of chess, he and Cai Yan are constantly playing the game. Cai Yan had everything he wanted in his hands; while Duan Ling had only the four major assassins in his hands at first, and now he has Xie You.
"According to what you explained, I said it all." Duan Ling replied.
"What did he say?" Mu Kuangda asked.
"He's not surprised." Duan Ling knelt before the table drinking tea and said, "Or, I don't see his surprise."
Mu Kuangda replied: "Xie You is a man of his own accord, and most of the time he is neither happy nor sad. On the day of His Majesty's death, this fellow didn't shed half a tear, and he didn't even bother to pretend."
"When I was talking, he almost killed me." Duan Ling replied.
"Just to try you." Mu Kuangda got up and said, "What else did he say?"
Duan Ling replied: "He said he could crush me at any time, let me be careful... I said it doesn't matter if I'm in prison now..."
Mu Kuangda waved his hand, he didn't care how Duan Ling came back alive at all. This apprentice had a good luck in escaping death. Swinging to and fro against the wall. Maybe one day he will return to the west, this kid is still alive and well.
"In the end he let me go." Duan Ling said, "He said that I have the power to save the driver, so spare my life, let me leave Jiangzhou, and go back to Yecheng as soon as possible, otherwise next time, when the disaster of death comes, he will not will save me."
"He finally knows." Mu Kuangda replied.
"He will definitely know." Duan Ling said.
Li Yanqiu was assassinated at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. It was impossible not to tell Xie You when he came back. Based on this, it is speculated that Xie You may have received an order to deal with Mu Kuangda—perhaps because there was no evidence, or because it was not yet time.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Kuangda said, "Our goal has been achieved, I will invite him over on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"what?"
Although Duan Ling had received the news from Lang Junxia, he still pretended to be surprised.
"Go down and rest." Mu Kuangda said, "I'll tell you again if I have something to do."
Duan Ling and Wu Du had to retreat, and the Mu Mansion had already started to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Before I knew it, so many days had passed. Duan Ling wondered if he should meet Li Yanqiu on the Mid-Autumn Festival night this year. Will he be drinking alone in the courtyard
