"Second Young Master, what's wrong! Lu Yanjing beside the Great Elder is missing!"
Taiyuan, the ancestral home of the Wang family!
A man with a hooked nose ran into a desolate courtyard in a panic. After entering the house, the young man in his house bowed.
"Lu Yanjing? What does it have to do with me if he disappears?"
The young man was reading a book. Hearing this, he raised his head and said calmly.
This person is Wang Renyi, Wang Renbiao's half-brother, and the hook-nosed man is his loyal servant Xiao Qing!
Ever since I learned the day before yesterday that none of the elders of the Wang family had gone to Qizhou to congratulate the newly married Wang Renyi, Wang Renyi, who had always been in a decadent state, finally saw hope and the hope of turning around. From then on, he began to pay attention to Looking at his appearance, even though he was wearing old clothes, his temperament at this time had returned to the calm, calm and unpredictable temperament he had before!
"Second Young Master, Lu Yanjing is the commander of the secret guards around the Great Elder. He will never leave the Great Elder's side unless there is something important. Therefore, my subordinates speculate that the Great Elder may have sent him to Qizhou!"
Xiao Qing clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.
This guy is different from his brother Xiao Ying who is simple-minded. He is very smart in doing things. Because of this, Wang Renyi attaches great importance to him. In terms of attitude, Wang Renyi is also more polite to Xiao Qing than to Xiao Ying. There are so many!
Of course, this is also because Wang Renyi is currently in a state of frustration!
"Qizhou? Are you saying that my grandfather sent Lu Yanjing to Qizhou to congratulate Wang Renbiao on his wedding?"
After hearing this, Wang Renyi reacted instantly. His eyes narrowed and he suddenly stood up and said.
Xiao Qing lowered his head and bowed: "This is just my subordinate's guess, and I just learned the news this morning. I haven't found out the specific whereabouts of Lu Yanjing yet!"
He is just a servant in the Wang family, and he is also the servant who takes care of Wang Renyi, the imprisoned second son of the eldest son. With his status, it is very inconvenient to inquire about the information. He can only inquire in secret, otherwise he will be discovered by others. If you doubt it, you will be in big trouble!
"You haven't found out yet?"
Wang Renyi frowned immediately, and there was some displeasure on his face. Xiao Qing lowered his head at this time and couldn't see the expression on Wang Renyi's face, but he could feel Wang Renyi's suppressed anger, and he quickly clasped his fists road:
"Master, please give me some time. Within half a day, I will be able to investigate clearly and give you an explanation!"
"...Get up and talk!"
Wang Renyi was silent for a moment, his tone gradually became gentle, and he said.
Only then did Xiao Qing dare to stand up.
Just listen to Wang Renyi continue to say: "I can't blame you for this matter. Now that you and I have been abandoned by the clan, it is really inconvenient to do things. There is no need to investigate Lu Yanjing's whereabouts now, because he has probably already After going to Qizhou, there is no use in further investigation. The top priority is to find a way to get me out. If I am locked in this cage all day long, even if I have great ambitions, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to use my fists!"
"Get out? Second Young Master, do you want to escape from Siguo Yuan?"
Xiao Qing was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.
The so-called Siguo Courtyard refers to the dilapidated courtyard they are in now. This is where the Wang family specializes in imprisoning disciples who have made mistakes in the clan but are not worthy of death. At the beginning, Wang Renyi secretly ordered the bandits to kidnap Han Yuxi and Wang Yu. In order to calm Li Zexuan's anger, Li Zexuan promised that Wang Renyi would be imprisoned in the Wang family's ancestral home for life.
"Of course I can't escape, I want to go out openly!"
Wang Renyi's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked, "Is there anything happening recently with the Second Elder?"
Xiao Qing didn't understand why Wang Renyi asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "It is said that the eldest elder strongly advocated not punishing the eldest son for marriage. These days, the second elder has led several other elders to resist the eldest elder. , as for what the second elder is doing now, I have no way of knowing... Oh, by the way, I also heard a piece of news in the city this morning!"
Perhaps in order to prove the value of his existence, Xiao Qing remembered something at this time and quickly added.
"Huh~? Say it!"
Wang Renyi looked at Xiao Qing with interest and said.
Xiao Qing turned his head and looked outside the house. After confirming that there was no one outside, he stepped forward and closed the door. Then he leaned in front of Wang Renyi and said, "Sir, my subordinates are in the city today to inquire about the relationship between His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Yanhuang Academy." Dozens of gentlemen and students will arrive in Taiyuan Mansion soon!"
"King Li Tai of Wei? Teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy? What are they doing in Taiyuan?"
Wang Renyi frowned and said curiously.
Since the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy went north to Bingzhou and Yunzhou to establish telegraph relay stations, it was considered a top-secret task of the academy (this was also to ensure the safety of the teachers and students of the academy), so not many people knew about this matter. Wang Renyi He has been imprisoned in Wangjia Siguo Yuan, so naturally it is even more impossible to know!
Xiao Qing whispered: "What is the specific purpose of this group of people, this subordinate does not know, but according to the traveling merchants on the street, someone saw the Yanhuang Academy's carriage at the boundary of Fenzhou a few days ago, and there were people from the capital. The merchant recognized that King Wei was among them! There are dozens of carriages from Yanhuang Academy, and they are expected to arrive at Taiyuan Mansion in the next two days!"
"Dozens of carriages?"
When Wang Renyi heard this, he frowned and remained silent for a while. No one knew what he was thinking about at this moment. Xiao Ying could only stand aside quietly. After a while, Wang Renyi finally said: "No matter what they came to Taiyuan for, , dispatching such a large battle is definitely not a trivial matter. When they come to Taiyuan, if you are brave enough to investigate, this may be an opportunity for us!"
"Opportunity? Master, do you want to...?"
Xiao Qing's expression moved slightly and he asked tentatively.
"On how to proceed, we need to understand the purpose of King Wei and his party before we can make detailed plans. Just find out the matter for me!"
Wang Renyi waved his hand and said calmly.
"Yes! I will do my best!"
Xiao Qing solemnly cupped his fists.
Then, he thought for a while and added: "Oh, by the way, sir, my subordinates saw four or five Turks in Yihefang today. They stayed at Tongfu Inn, although they were disguised as Han people. , but my subordinates have been at the border before and can still tell them apart!"
At the end, Xiao Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud in his eyes.
"Turks in disguise..."
Wang Renyi pinched his chin with his hand. After pondering for a long time, he smiled and said: "It's getting more and more interesting! It seems that Taiyuan is about to stage a good show. Before that, I must find out what this damn place is about." Courtyard! Xiao Qing, this afternoon, if you find a way to get the second elder to come to the courtyard to think about it no matter what, tell him that I have urgent matters that are related to the life and death of the Wang family! Do you understand?"
Xiao Qing's heart trembled, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I understand! I will definitely live up to the trust of the young master!"
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
