However, he is also a layman and an incompetent person. Gu Shixiong is indeed conceited, but if he really stands up, why would he let Gu Shixiong handle it like this? After all, he was useless.

Yuchi Yan took a few deep breaths before suppressing his grief and anger. After venting his anger, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and he felt a little powerless even to speak.

"Forget it, this king is too excited. Elder Gu, don't take it to heart." When he turned around, he had already put on a helpless wry smile.

Gu Shixiong accused Yuchiyan, but was pierced by Yuchiyan. At this time, he was a little guilty. Seeing that Yuchiyan took the initiative to admit his mistake, he handed over the steps again.

"It's an old man, isn't it? I just saw that you were very emotional, and I didn't say anything when I was in a hurry. I was really worried that the matter would be heard by people with a heart and affect our future plans." Gu Shixiong lifted the robe and knelt down and kowtowed. , "Also ask the lord to forgive the sins of old age."

"What's wrong with the boss. It's because this king is too reckless. After eating a closed door today, he couldn't bear to get angry. It really shouldn't be. He said something and didn't say something when his emotions were out of control. , I hope the boss won't mind."

Yuchiyan helped Gu Shixiong up with both hands and reflected on himself.

Gu Shixiong's heart was very hot, thinking that although Yuchi Yan was not as capable as Pang Xiao, he was also an honest and pure-hearted person, much stronger than that of the Taishanghuang at that time.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If the Great Yan Dynasty had been in power from the beginning, Yuchi Yan was in power, and the generation of Shun Jun and the Demon Empress was eliminated in the middle, perhaps the Yan Dynasty would not have perished.

Gu Shixiong was also full of sighs when he thought of the events of the old year.

Thinking of the person in front of him being pushed by his own father to carry the pressure, not only handing him a mess, but also secretly hiding all the money, if this matter is left on his own, I am afraid that he will not be angry.

Thinking of this, Gu Shixiong was not so disappointed with Yuchiyan anymore. On the contrary, there was a little more inexplicable guilt.

"Okay, okay, we are a family, forget it after the quarrel, and now we have to plan what to do next." Gu Shixiong said with a smile.

Yuchiyan also nodded and said, "That's right. This time, we went to visit Mr. Liu, but we closed the door. I think it must be their big shopkeeper who is already dissatisfied with us and wants to give us some warning."

"I think so too." Gu Shixiong finally found the way he spoke when he was an official in the court.

He was just looking at Yuchiyan's failure, and he had contempt in his heart, so he criticized Yuchiyan when he spoke.

But thinking back, when I was an official, even if I had dissatisfaction in my heart, why would I dare to show it in front of the emperor? It turned out that he also made the mistake of seeing people serving dishes.

Gu Shixiong reflected in his heart, what he said would naturally make Yuchiyan feel like a spring breeze.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. Sitonghao wants to deal with Pang Zhixi for some reason, and in the old capital, there is no other person who is more suitable to cooperate with them than us.

"Your Highness is prestigious among the people, and the foundation of the people is so good, even if the Sitong account is to support orthodoxy, it will cooperate with us.

"Now it's just a moment of dissatisfaction, just because they have a few stinky money to give us a face. But you also know, what does A Duwu count in front of power? Even if he has a four-way number Rich all over the world, can someone in power take over his home with a single word? They are just making a statement, and the prince doesn’t have to take it to heart. They are also afraid that when the prince regains power in the future, they will be used to open the knife first.”

Gu Shixiong's analysis was straightforward, and Yuchiyan felt a lot more at ease. Fang Cai's anger has completely disappeared, and he nodded frequently: "Elder Gu is right. Then, what should we do next?"

"According to the old opinion, we don't have to rush too much. Let's inquire carefully first to see what's going on with Pang Zhixi, and then it's not too late to make a decision."

"It's so good." Yuchiyan patted Gu Shixiong's bony arm, "With Mr. Gu here, this king can rest easy. Mr. Gu must protect himself, and he will need to rely more on Mr. Gu to help Dayan in the future!"

Gu Shixiong was happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face that he didn't dare.

At this moment, the spies arranged by Gu Shixiong came back.

"Your Highness, Master Gu, we have already investigated clearly. The shopkeeper of the Sitong number visited the Pingnan Army Camp yesterday evening and met with Prince Zhongshun."

"What!" Gu Shixiong and Yuchi Yan were shocked.

They had just eaten the closed door of Mr. Liu, the staff of the big shopkeeper of the four-way number, but they learned that the big shopkeeper actually went to see Pang Zhixi in person. I wish I could plunge myself into the cold water and calm down before giving up.

Yuchi Yan took two steps back, and sat on the armchair with a thud, and murmured with dull eyes, "How could this be, how could this be!"

Gu Shixiong quickly cleaned up his mood and continued to ask the spy: "You can inquire clearly, what is the purpose of the people from the Sitong number to be loyal and obedient to the prince?"

The spy said: "I have already inquired clearly, it seems that it is because of silver."

"Silver? Could it be that Sitong Hao doesn't plan to let Pang Zhixi pay back the money he owed earlier?"

The spy bowed his head and shook his head: "The villain doesn't know."

Gu Shixiong waved his hand to signal the spy to step back, and then murmured in a low voice: "This is very strange, Sitong had always been posing to deal with Pang Zhixi before, why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Yuchi Yan also frowned: "I thought that Yang Zhifu still didn't pay the money, and he would definitely push the matter back to Pang Zhixi. If the Sitong account was really for the money this time, the debt was written off. Isn't everything just as Pang Zhixi intended!"

The master and servant fell into deep suspicion at this time.

What kind of character is the big shopkeeper of Sitong, and what is it for

Could it be that the Sitonghao took a fancy to the status of such a powerful person as Pang Xiao, and wanted to find a backer in the court

The two looked at each other, and invariably both compared Yuchi Yan's current situation with Pang Xiao.

I have to say, if the Sitong number is really to find a backer, then the current Pang Xiao is really the best candidate.

Yuchi Yan's mood just improved a little, and once again fell to the bottom.

After Pang Xiao returned to the barracks, Qin Yining always felt empty. Even with two children in company, I still feel that the house is too quiet. Unlike Pang Xiao at home, there is laughter everywhere.

After coaxing the child to take a nap, Qin Yining went to read a book in the warm pavilion.

Bingtang came in with a tray, put a white porcelain cover on the red wooden table, and said with a smile: "Princess, this is soothing, you can take a nap after eating, right?"

Qin Yining smiled and said, "I'll be eating later." She patted the seat next to her, "Sit down, let's talk."

Bingtang smiled and put down the tray, sat sideways next to Qin Yining, and took the stretcher from the needle and thread dustpan and embroidered it.

Qin Yining asked with a smile, "Have you said anything to Huzi this time?" He said softly, "What did you promise?"

"Oh, why did the princess learn those little hooves, and talk about others behind their backs?" Bingtang blushed and stuck the needle on the stretcher, don't turn away from looking at her.

Seeing her shy appearance, Qin Yining couldn't help laughing and said: "What's so shy? We are the same age, and I'm already a mother, how can I keep you by my side to serve tea and water? Not to mention. You were not a maid originally, but Miss Qianjin."

She took Bingtang's hand, "I kept you by my side back then, and I didn't have a better identity to give you, so I could only grieve you as a maid, but now, although the situation is relatively tense, I don't need to continue to grieve you anymore. I think Hu Zi is a kind person, and he is sincere to you. I think if you can make Hu Zi a wife, the prince will promote him in Haosheng in the future, and I will not worry that he will not be able to earn you a pair of phoenix crowns in the future. Xia, what do you think?"

Although Bingtang was shy and wished she could find a hole to drill, but there were no outsiders here, Qin Yining treated her with sincerity, and was thinking about her everywhere.

She was willing to be a maid by Qin Yining's side. When Qin Yining didn't know her, he dared to go to Prince Ning's mansion to save her regardless of his own safety. Although this was a misunderstanding, Prince Ning told her privately at the time that Qin Yining was a responsible and kind person. There is no way in the future, and she will never let her suffer by following her for a lifetime.

Now it seems that King Ning saw it right, and she didn't make a wrong choice. Qin Yining really treats her like a sister. She doesn't promise her to anyone at will without holding her own master's status. Instead, she comes to discuss with her in private, and she always considers her happiness as a starting point.

Bingtang's eyes gradually filled with tears.

When Qin Yining saw that he asked a question, he actually made someone cry, and couldn't help being shocked: "Don't cry, is that bastard bullying you? Or did he do something wrong behind your back, and you don't want to marry him? "

Qin Yining thought, those rough men in the army will inevitably have some bad habits on them. Is her thinking too hasty? When you look back, you should ask Pang Xiao carefully, and find out everything about Hu Zi.

When Bingtang saw Qin Yining's brows furrowed and her eyes cold, she knew she had misunderstood, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, he didn't bully me, and it's not that I don't want to... I just think that the princess is too kind to me."

Hearing this, Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, "I was taken aback by you. But I have to carefully investigate Deng Jinhu's net worth when I look back, but I can't marry you into an unreliable person. Isn't there doing business for you? I saved a lot of money before, and I will ask him to send you the account book. Even if the wedding date is uncertain, these must be prepared first."
