After the group of jugglers cleaned up the stalls, they drove the carriage all the way north, and finally stopped in front of a house. After entering the house, they first took some raw meat to feed the boa constrictor, and then lit a fire to cook. It seemed that there was nothing unusual , that piece of black cloth was locked in the bedroom, obviously extremely important.
Shang Yunze took Mu Qingshan with him, jumped off the wall, and landed firmly in the small alleyway outside.
"Why did you follow in secretly?" Mu Qingshan looked at him, "Didn't you say that the other party is fine?"
"It's not that there is no problem, it's not certain whether there is a problem, but even if there is really no problem, it's not good to rush there." Shang Yunze said, "It's always right to find out first."
"What about now?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"The other party obviously regards that roll of cloth as extremely important." Shang Yunze said, "It's not convenient for me to show up, but Uncle Wang can."
Wang Zhi is the owner of the brocade workshop under Tengyun Castle. Apart from the ordinary brocades, he is also very interested in other fabrics. It is not abrupt for him to ask.
"En." Mu Qingshan nodded, "Then go back?"
"They're all out, what are you doing back so early, and your lord is busy too." Shang Yunze's tone was very calm.
Mu Qingshan's ears turned red again, what's so good about saying this over and over again!
"Let's go." Shang Yunze was in a very good mood, "I haven't had a good time in Wangcheng yet, I just have free time, let's have a good time."
That's okay... Mu Qingshan held hands with him obediently, and the two of them walked out of the alleyway together.
Everywhere in Wangcheng is full of flowers, so there will be plenty of things to play and eat, and Mu Qingshan grew up in Cangwu City since he was a child, so he naturally finds everything strange. The two ate and drank from noon, and wandered around until night fell when the lights came on, and then they happily returned to the brocade workshop.
Wen Liunian was lying on a small recliner in the courtyard, looking at the stars to enjoy the cool air—if it was the usual, it would naturally be served with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, but this time because of a stomach problem, he had to recollect it silently Try the taste of ham shortbread.
"My lord, we are back." Mu Qingshan greeted, holding a snack bag in his hand, and pinching mille-feuille candy in the other hand.
Wen Liunian asked: "Is it delicious?"
"Not tasty." Mu Qingshan shook his head.
Wen Liunian: ...
Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"When the lord recovers from his illness, the head of the family will naturally buy it." Mu Qingshan said, "Then I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Wen Liunian reluctantly watched Melaleuca out of the small courtyard, and then continued to look at the stars.
"Rest?" Zhao Yue squatted beside him.
"Guess what I'm thinking?" Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue said: "Thousand layer candy can only be eaten when the stomach is healthy."
"Who said I was thinking of Melaleuca Tang." Wen Liunian sat up a little bit, "If that mysterious man is really Qingqiu, I'm afraid that the purpose of this visit is not just to sneak attack you."
"Why are you still thinking about this?" Zhao Yue frowned slightly, seeing him swallowing at the moon earlier, he was still thinking about pomegranates and moon cakes.
"The emperor called me into the palace a few days ago, and said that the other party's big fanfare was to openly provoke the court." Wen Liunian said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, maybe it is really for this reason."
"Qingqiu wants to anger the emperor?" Zhao Yue took a blanket from one side and helped him cover his body.
"The emperor doesn't know that he is Qingqiu." Wen Liunian said, "The three songs that the other party wants to hear are said to be written by Miss Baihe to King Daming back then, and they have nothing to do with Qingqiu, so when I heard this The news will definitely regard him as the Daming King back then."
"So?" Zhao Yue asked.
"So this time, I'm afraid something big will happen." Wen Liunian said, "Qingqiu pretends to be the King of Ming Dynasty, and wants to anger the Emperor in the Royal City. What do you think will be the consequences?"
Zhao Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"For so many years, the imperial court has never given up on chasing and suppressing King Daming. Adding this incident, what do you think will happen to the emperor?" Wen Liunian said, "I'm afraid that he will kill the grass and roots at all costs."
"Qingqiu wants to use the emperor's hand to completely remove King Daming?" Zhao Yue said.
"I'm afraid it's not just that." Wen Liunian said, "Do you still remember that when Li Jiao was suppressing the bandits in Cangmang City, Li Jiao once mentioned the current Emperor's uncle, the Sea Dragon King Chu Heng? connect."
Zhao Yue nodded.
"When I chatted with the emperor in the past few days, I also asked him a few times intentionally or unintentionally." Wen Liunian said, "Chu Heng is very much like the second Great Ming King."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yue frowned slightly.
"After the mysterious disappearance of King Daming, his subordinates also disappeared overnight. The East China Sea defense line that was finally stabilized was once again precarious. Fortunately, Chu Heng was ordered to go all the way from the king's city to the East China Sea at that time, so that the stability and peace of one side could be re-maintained." Wen Liunian said, "For so many years, Chu Heng has already established his own influence in the East China Sea. Although there is no movement on weekdays, if he intends to become an enemy of the imperial court, it will be a great trouble for the emperor."
Zhao Yue said, "I don't know much about officialdom, but according to folk rumors, Chu Heng doesn't seem to be a treacherous person."
"The rumors are not accurate." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, judging from the Emperor's intentions at the time, it seems that this is not so simple, the water is quite deep."
"You suspect that Qingqiu wants to join Chu Heng in attacking the emperor?" Zhao Yue said.
"It's just a suspicion, let me tell you alone." Wen Liunian said, "This is the most reasonable guess.
Zhao Yue rubbed his side face with his thumb: "Don't be too tired."
"Just thinking about a few things, and not practicing martial arts or chopping firewood, so it's not tiring." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, if we figure out the clues earlier, this matter will be resolved sooner."
Zhao Yue picked him up horizontally: "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning, take a good rest."
Wen Liunian said, "I can't sleep."
Zhao Yue: ...
Wen Liunian's expression was very innocent.
Zhao Yue put him on the bed: "You can't bear it."
Wen Liunian blinked: "I just want you to have more soothing incense."
Zhao Yue froze slightly.
Wen Liunian innocently asked: "Did the master think of something else?"
Zhao Yue turned over and got out of bed, and added some tranquilizing medicine to the incense burner.
It is clear that I am... Why do I have to be molested by this nerd every now and then
Wen Liunian scratched his face, feeling very good.
Inside the palace, Chu Yuan was listening to Xiang Lie's report: "A juggler of unknown origin?"
"Yes." Xiang Lie nodded, "No one in the royal city seems to know the origin of this group of people, and the red python is even more evil, but this group of people is very law-abiding, and there is nothing unusual about it."
"If nothing unusual, you wouldn't tell me specifically." Chu Yuan shook his head, "Tell me, what's the matter."
"The emperor is really wise." Xiang Lie said, "But it's not a bad thing. When those jugglers are performing, they will wrap their bodies with a black cloth. The general has seen it twice from a distance. The cloth It looks soft, but in fact it is extremely tough, and after being swallowed by the giant python, it does not feel wet, and the people wrapped in it are also safe and sound."
"Oh?" Chu Yuan became interested, "Is there such a magical fabric?"
"It's definitely not comparable to ordinary golden silk soft armor." Xiang Lie said.
"So? What's Aiqing thinking?" Chu Yuan asked.
"If it can be made into a close-fitting soft armor, it should be able to protect our great Chu soldiers on the battlefield." Xiang Lie said.
"That's right." Chu Yuan said, "But since we want to talk about business with good words, let Wen Aiqing handle this matter. If you add ten more mouths, I'm afraid you can't talk to him alone."
Xiang Lie smiled and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't say anything, the general will push this matter to Lord Wen."
Chu Yuan nodded: "Let Sixi go deliver the decree tomorrow morning." If we go now, I'm afraid it will disturb another couple of lovers.
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Liunian's body was finally half healed, and he stopped lying on the bed dizzy, but went to the dining room with the big guys to have breakfast. But before Zhao Yue could mix the noodles for him, the housekeeper knocked on the door again.
"Eunuch Sixi again?" Mu Qingshan asked.
The butler nodded: "Exactly."
Lu Zhui quickly took a look at Mr. Zhao's family, so that when he lifted the table, he could get out of the way quickly, so as not to be splashed with soup—he was just sick and came to call. How many files and memorials are there in the palace
The dark guard asked intimately: "My lord, can you lie back on the bed and pretend to be sick, and rest for two more days?" With us surrounded by the couch with sad faces and choked up, Eunuch Sixi would definitely not have any doubts, maybe there will be dozens of taels left behind. Silver to buy tonic for adults.
"No need." Wen Liunian took Zhao Yue's hand, "Let's go together."
Watching the two of them leave the dining room together, Lu Zhui finally breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, he was able to have a good breakfast.
Mu Qingshan said from the bottom of his heart: "My lord is really amazing."
"Why?" Shang Yunze helped him pick out the egg yolk from the bowl.
"The boss is so tall, he knows martial arts, and he listens to the adults in everything." Mu Qingshan bowed his head and drank the porridge.
Shang Yunze laughed: "Don't I listen to you in everything?"
Mu Qingshan froze for a moment, then blushed.
There are others at the table!
Lu Zhui ate pickles calmly, there were lovers everywhere, and it was superfluous to be caught in the middle.
Uncharacteristically, the hidden guards did not watch, and continued to fight and scramble for tea and eggs. Compared with my young master and palace lord, this kind of pettiness is really far behind.
I've been used to it for a long time.
