After meeting the fourth prince, He Li and Gao Liu took people out to the Xicheng Market.
Most of the big farms of the Ling family are some distance away from Bianjing. The two small farms on the outskirts of Beijing usually send enough things to Beijing, but now they are not enough. This time, the two of them brought over a thousand guards, plus those brought by Lamu and the original mansion, the Dingguo mansion was crowded with more than 2,000 people, and the demand for food suddenly expanded. several times. And Han Bian and all the shopkeepers were busy handling the goods brought by Lamu and Su Hexiang, and had no time to manage these chores in the mansion. Yan Qi has always been only responsible for security, and during the Chinese New Year, when gossip is flying around in various mansions, Yan Qi shows Ling Qingyu the collected information every day as an after-dinner joke. The end of the year is approaching, and more things are needed, so they have to bring people to the top, no matter good or bad, just buy things according to the list.
When they arrived at Bianjing Xicheng Fair, Guan Xiao, Fang Nianyuan and Meng Su had already collected a batch and were arranging a vehicle to send them back. When they saw the two coming, they went up to ask about the situation.
"The fourth prince is shit, not even the second prince." He Li said lightly, and then looked at a flower shed at the entrance of the market. It was snowing heavily, and the various flowers in the shed were still in full bloom. .
"Brother Li, it has been snowing heavily for the past two days, and there is a shortage of vegetables in the city. I think it's better to take people out of the city to bring in some." Guan Xiao smiled and said, seeing He Li staring at the flower shed, "Why? , Brother Li, does anyone want to send flowers?"
"Well, if you take people out of the city, the snow is okay today, but it will be troublesome if it doesn't stop for a few days." He Li said as he approached the flower shed and called out: "I want all the flowers here, how much is it? "
A young woman came out from the inside, and said in surprise: "My guest, our flowers are not cheap, we want all of them..." The eyes were on those few people who had almost collected all the things in the market with their silver tickets. They glanced at them and said, "I'll sell it to you for five thousand taels of silver."
Guan Xiao and Gao Liu whistled, and said with a smile, "This is money grabbing. Brother Li, there is also a greenhouse in the mansion, and the flowers you grow are no worse than these. Don't waste your money."
"Two thousand taels," He Li took out a bank note from his purse, and said with a smile, "You can buy it for two thousand taels, and forget it if you don't sell it."
The woman was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that this person is not just a bum who only knows how to spend money, but the price she saw was accurate, so she stopped raising the price and said with a smile: "I will sell it to this official for the sake of auspicious Chinese New Year. "
"For the head of the family?" Seeing the pots of brightly colored flowers being loaded into the carriage, Meng Su approached He Li and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." He Li nodded. The greenhouses in Duke Dingguo's mansion are full of rare and precious varieties. Ling Qingyu prefers these flowers that are vigorous and blooming, and put them in the room. , she will be very happy.
"No?!"
"Yes, Uncle Wu, you see, they were all bought by the military master over there."
"Those people outside, stop for me!"
The voice from the meat stall inside made He Li and the others stunned for a moment, and then saw a group of menacing servant-like people rushing out.
"What's the matter?" Wang Zuo shouted loudly with a straight face.
The person in charge who was the leader in front of the group of servants didn't expect that there were not a few military masters outside, but a group of military masters, all of whom looked murderous, and immediately fell down, cupping their hands and saying: "This military master, We are members of the Wu family, Madam wants to eat pork kidneys today, can you ask the military master to accommodate us and give us some."
Pork kidney? Wang Zuo looked at the big basket of pork kidneys, thinking that this would not be a difficult task, and just about to speak, he heard He Li's cool voice asking: "The Wu family? That Wu Feiren's Wu family?"
"Yes, yes, military lord, you know my young master too?" A smug smile appeared on the steward's face, his waist straightened, and he said: "Our young master has just been promoted to a fifth-rank censor. This year our old lady You can go to the palace to see the ladies. If you are sensible, let’s give the young master a few words when we go back. The military men work so hard, and the boss will be sent out to do these jobs in this weather. When our young master is free, tell your boss How about a better place?"
"Our things will not be given to the Wu family if they are eaten by dogs." He Li got on his horse and said to Wang Zuo, "Take the things back."
The steward's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You are so rude, I told you that I think highly of you, why don't you let my young master pass a post to Commander Fan, and you will be rewarded! Ah! Master Fan !” Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of guards patrolling over from the street, and the steward waved and shouted.
"Steward Wu, what's the matter?" Commander Fan was not in a good mood today. It started snowing early in the morning, but he had to leave Xiao Taohong's warm bed in Tianxiangyuan to lead a patrol. He wanted to finish the patrol earlier. He went back early, but was stopped by someone on the way. If it wasn't for the housekeeper of the Wu family, he wouldn't have bothered.
"Master Fan, look at these military masters, they have snatched away all the food we ordered. That's what our wife must eat today, do you see?" As he spoke, the steward stuffed a bag of money into Commander Fan's hand.
He weighed the hanging money in his hand, and Commander Fan felt a little better. Although it is said that the boss above has joined the backstage to make their lives easier, it is better than nothing. Thinking of this, he shouted to Wang Zuo and the others with pride, "Which battalion are you from? How dare you do such a thing? Show me your badge!"
"The ability to talk nonsense is not small!" He Li snorted coldly, immediately leaned over to look at the steward, glanced at Commander Fan again, and asked, "Which battalion are you from?"
Commander Fan turned around angrily, and was about to yell at him. Although he was no more than a seventh-rank captain, the ranks in the army were strict, and the rank of a senior officer crushed people to death. How dare an ordinary soldier dare to challenge him? !
At this time, there was a wind blowing, and the cloak on He Li's body was blown up, revealing the military officer's uniform. Although the man on the horse had a smile on his face, Commander Fan felt a chill in his heart, and he knelt down as soon as his feet softened. Come down and say: "Young one, see the general!"
He Li raised the whip in his hand, pointed at the steward and said, "It was you who wanted to steal our things, but you turned black and white, it's been said so, if we don't do something, it's really embarrassing Come on, Wang Zuo, don't beat him to death, it's too bad luck for someone who celebrates Chinese New Year." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Commander Fan and just beat his horse and left.
"Brother, let's go." Gao Liu walked up to Commander Fan, patted him on the shoulder, twisted his wrist after speaking, took off the cloak and handed it to the guard behind him, and punched him directly.
Watching the man in the uniform of a fifth-rank general start his attack in the most direct and rude way, those big men rushed up one by one and beat up the steward of the Wu family, Ding, and Commander Fan put the money in his hand into the box. In his arms, he took someone and hurried away.
"Commander, don't we help the Wu family?" A soldier following behind asked in a muttered voice. The Wu family is also considered a new rich man in Bianjing. They have always been used to showing off their power in this common people's market. How about seeing them being beaten up today
"You know what! How many third-rank generals are there in Dazhou? That must be General He Lihe who came back to renew his post! Are you fighting with the people from Heishuiguan? Can you beat them?" Commander Fan spat, Then he quickened the pace of leaving.
"No way? The bazaars here are all civilians. Besides, there are generals who come to the bazaar to buy things by themselves?" The soldiers behind asked very puzzled.
"Hey, although the people in Heishuiguan can fight, they are notoriously poor!" Another soldier directly helped him to solve his confusion.
fart! Poor guy, the last time General Yang was buried, the armor and weapons of those soldiers who came to the funeral were not of the same grade as them. Commander Fan spat in his heart again, and turned his head to look at the street where the fight was going on. Those carriages are the hallmarks of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and Mrs. Yang is the only one who can order the generals to come for purchases. Speaking of which, if she can go to General Yang's army, it would be worthwhile for her to join the army. It's better to do these dirty jobs here in Bianjing.
Ling Qingyu stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, looked at the half-opened courtyard, hesitated a little, then opened the door and walked into the small courtyard.
In the morning, someone sent a letter in, signed by Zhao Yinfeng, asking her to meet here, and there was only one sentence in it that forced her to come. It said, I can tell you everything I know about the Zhao family's army.
The small courtyard was not big, and it was cleaned cleanly, but the doors of the surrounding rooms were all locked, while the door of the main room was half open, and there was no one in the quiet courtyard.
"Master!" Ying Jiu blocked Ling Qingyu's footsteps, and was about to go in first, but Ling Qingyu held her hand.
Shaking his head, Ling Qingyu said, "You stay on guard outside." Although this yard is really weird, but I don't know what to rely on, Ling Qingyu just believes that Zhao Yinfeng will not harm her.
Pushing open the door of the main room, turning around the main hall, and opening the curtain of the bedroom, a chuckle was heard from inside, and then a low voice said: "Are you really not afraid of being deceived? What if the letter wasn't written by me at all? Or I Did you just trick you into coming here?"
Hearing the voice inside, Ying Jiu let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword, then turned around and closed the small courtyard door, swept her body, went up to the roof, looked left and right, then returned to the courtyard, leaned against the front door the door of the room.
Compared with the white snow outside, the bedroom is as warm as spring. Zhao Yinfeng sat on the head of the bed with his upper body upright, his long legs half-supported, playing with a prop in his hand, looking at her with eyes filled with tears. banter.
"Then General Zhao doesn't bring any entourage, isn't he afraid that I will harm you?" Ling Qingyu raised his eyebrows as he took off his hood, took off his cloak and put it on the only chair in the room besides the big bed.
Zhao Yinfeng laughed softly, and said: "I said you can take my life, what am I afraid of you?"
"What are you going to tell me?" Ling Qingyu asked after sitting on the chair.
"Recently, there have been several waves of people sneaking into the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and the old man pulled them out. Now the old man is looking for the person behind the scenes." Seeing Ling Qingyu's face changed slightly, Zhao Yinfeng lowered his eyes and said: "Although those people are killed once If he found out, he committed suicide, and didn't even give the old man a chance to interrogate, but if he sends people in like this, he will be exposed one day."
Ling Qingyu's expression froze. Since the autumn hunt, Yan Qi and Ying Shisan have been busy again. Although they don't know how to ask, they also know that the rumors about the prosperity in Bianjing in the past two months are inseparable from them, especially On top of the two princesses in Hei, through the information, they can roughly guess that Yan Qi and the others are infiltrating very quickly. Unexpectedly, they actually used such a strong method.
"If you want to know something, just ask me directly, as long as I know, I will tell you," Zhao Yinfeng put down the object in his hand, put his head in his hands and leaned against the bed, the smile on his face faded a little Said: "The old man and Zhao Mingliang are not good people, don't mess with them, you can't afford to mess with them."
"Why did you guess it was mine?" Ling Qingyu said with some self-mockery. Compared with those who have been in the court for decades, they are as simple as children, and their power is naturally far inferior to these aristocratic families, or is it too big
"I didn't guess it was you, I just hope it's not you." Hearing what she said, Zhao Yinfeng's expression darkened slightly, and he said: "The Zhao family is currently on the strictest precautions, and they will be very nervous at the slightest sign of trouble. If they know it's you, they won't show mercy."
Ling Qingyu took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
Zhao Yinfeng smiled immediately, and his face became as bright as the sun, and said: "What do you want to know, just ask me, although I don't know what the Bianjing family is doing, but the troops dispatched by the Northern Fourth Road still know of."
"What conditions?" Ling Qingyu asked, brushing the snowflakes from the corner of his clothes.
"Come here." Zhao Yinfeng beckoned, and when she got up, he patted the bed rail beside him and said, "Sit here."
Sitting by the bed rail, Ling Qingyu raised his head and asked, "What the hell are you trying to do?"
"I have a problem, and I can only help you to solve it." Seeing Ling Qingyu's disbelief, Zhao Yinfeng said with a smile: "After I came back last time, I went to find another woman, but there was no response, I want to see, Is it because I can't do it?"
Ling Qingyu's face turned black, this kind of thing is private, right? You can find a doctor to find a brother, why are you looking for me? Even though he thought so, his eyes turned around unconsciously, and when he looked down, he saw a big tent!
Zhao Yinfeng also followed her gaze, then nodded and said: "Sure enough, I will be with you."
Ling Qingyu got up and left. As soon as he picked up the cloak, he heard Zhao Yinfeng say from behind: "Even if dozens of your subordinates die, you won't be able to get what you want. Moreover, I have heard people mention it, A very beautiful man appeared in Bianjing, that man looked very much like the assassin who assassinated Wang Yi a few years ago."
Ling Qingyu suddenly turned around and stared at him, Zhao Yinfeng's heart was chilled by that gaze, and a little sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It seems that that person is very important to you, so let him not show up. He has already been targeted, and if he is captured, I'm afraid he won't be given the chance to commit suicide, but I heard from those people that they want to kill him directly."
"Who is it! Who are those people?!" Ling Qingyu stepped forward, resting his knees on the bed rail, approaching Zhao Yinfeng and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yinfeng rolled up her hair with his fingers, and rolled it around his fingers in circles. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he said with a charming smile: "I tried it many times later, and even the **** can be used I did it, but it’s useless, what should I do? My body seems to only respond to you.”
Ling Qingyu stared at him deeply for a while, then suddenly lowered his head, bit his crimson dogwood, and when Zhao Yinfeng gasped and let out a comfortable sigh, he said: "Why don't you just want me to fuck you? Well, I'll satisfy you, but after I'm done, you have to answer whatever I ask you!"
"it is good…"
Hearing the sound coming from the room, Ying Jiu's hand clenched the hilt of the sword unconsciously. After the autumn hunt, they all held back their stomachs, and their actions were indeed too hasty, but...
The groans inside became louder and louder, mixed with Zhao Yinfeng's increasingly unseemly screams, Yingjiu left the door and stood in the middle of the yard unknowingly, feeling her lower abdomen began to swell and was strangled to death Tight, hurriedly restrained his mind, bit the corner of his lips, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
But Zhao Yinfeng's yelling was really unbearable to the ear, and one can imagine what kind of crazy things he was doing based on the content. Yingjiu's face was flushed, and he simply split open the small kitchen in the corner of the yard with his palm. door, found firewood, and drew water from the well to boil hot water.
"Qingyu..." Lie on the bed panting heavily, Zhao Yinfeng stretched out his arms to hug Ling Qingyu, who was so weak beside him, stroked her back, and said, "When you really want my life, just like this, don't Stop it, let me die."
Ling Qingyu squinted at him and said, "I don't want it. I'm too tired. Tell me, who is that person?"
Turning over, he hugged her into his arms, spread out the quilt that was pressed under him as a cushion and covered him, Zhao Yinfeng said, "Do you still remember Dong Ya Nei? The youngest son of Prime Minister Dong, then Nian and Ren Dongqing wanted to snatch that extra boy from you? Ren Dongqing recognized the man and told Dong Yanei that Xiang Dong had some gangsters under him. He was very clever and was not caught by them. What Dong Yanei said was that he was going to find Dong Xiang's personal hidden guards to attack him. As far as I know, Dong Xiang's personal guards are the two elders of Kongtong, and their martial arts are very strong. If they make a move, I'm afraid your subordinates will have a hard time escaping."
"How do you know these things?" Ling Qingyu asked unconsciously.
"I came back the day before yesterday, and a few friends came to me for a drink. Dong Yanei and Ren Dongqing were in the next room, and I overheard it because they mentioned a porter's business, and the Zhao family was cleared out. The two spies came from the same porter." Gently stroking her head with his palm, Zhao Yinfeng looked at her sideways and said, "There are complex forces in Bianjing, you have only been in Bianjing for half a year. , even if you have strong financial resources, how much foundation can you have? There are some things, don’t do them anymore, when the time comes, you will burn yourself, and your hundreds of Yang Zhao’s personal guards can’t stop you, and the people in Heishuiguan are separated from me. Far, there is no way to save you."
The sincerity in his words made Ling Qingyu a little dazed, and he opened a pair of clear eyes and looked at him quietly.
Zhao Yinfeng smiled slightly, and said: "I have already drawn the deployment plan of the 20th Battalion of the Zhao Family Army recently, but now that the old man and Zhao Mingliang are frequently transferred, I don't know how long this map will be useful. If there is a chance , you should leave Bianjing, go to Heishuiguan or Jiangnan, I’m afraid there won’t be much peace here in Bianjing.”
"Why are you telling me this?" Ling Qingyu lowered his eyes and asked. Cheng Jia said that Zhao Yinfeng looked impulsive and reckless and acted like a rogue, but how could it be possible for a person who has been on the battlefield since he was twelve years old and has basically maintained an unbeaten record. Will there be scheming and resourcefulness
Holding her tighter, Zhao Yinfeng pressed a passionate kiss on her forehead, and said in a low voice: "If I say that I like you, do you believe it or not?"
