- "Yong Shi·Jinghai Gongzhuan"〗
The night was hazy, Lin Bi was standing in front of the guest room window, looking at the dim starry sky. A middle-aged guard behind her was reporting the information she had discovered.
"During the chaos in the Xitang, all the guests and our entourages were surrounded by Donghaihou's subordinates to death. Donghaihou's training is really extraordinary. Yue's big ship was destroyed by Donghaihou's navy. It's very powerful, we went to see it, the sea is full of corpses and debris of the rudder and sails, if the ship is not repaired properly, I am afraid it will not be used."
Lin Bi sighed: "After all, this is the territory of the East Sea Marquis, unless an army comes to attack, and more than a hundred people want to make trouble, it's just a matter of taking chestnuts from the fire. If it wasn't for Yue Qingyan's use of the long-lost Tongxin Gu, I'm afraid it would be impossible at all. Having the upper hand, speaking of which, Ben Gong admires the people who planned the plan. If they succeed, they will not only control the East China Sea, the Hai Clan, and the Yue Clan, but also cause heavy losses to Dayong and Nan Chu. There is no real benefit, but there is no loss. I think those people still want us to take the opportunity to attack Dayong. A good marriage is not only a kiss, but also a talented man and a woman. Who would have thought that the bride would hide murderous intentions? This behind-the-scenes mastermind is really deep and scheming. If King Qing, Donghai Hou and his son, and Lu Can die together, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in an instant, and it will be difficult to find someone who dares to raise Tongxin Gu for them. Qing Yan's talent is said to be very strict with the Gu Master when training the Concentric Gu. However, what shocked me the most was Jiang Zhe's response. It was only a short half-month period, and this person mobilized everything. The resources that can be mobilized and the salary will be drawn from the bottom of the pot, so that the Yue brothers and sisters will no longer have the heart to die, and they can deal with the most unbearable situations with one control of Feitian Shenhuo. With so many people coming from the East China Sea, it is difficult to judge whether they are enemies or friends, but this person has We all follow his plan. Mr. Xiu, what do you think we can do to get rid of this man's threat?"
The middle-aged guard hesitated for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Master sent us this time, originally hoping to help His Highness to eradicate dissidents, but the current situation, the East China Sea has been disturbed, I am afraid it is difficult for us to start, We have also seen that Li Shun. This man has great martial arts, and we cannot resist. Except for the master, I am afraid that no one will be able to win, and even if he is reluctant to assassinate, I am afraid that he will not be able to kill Jiang Zhe himself. His resentment is too deep, this man has a sinister heart, if he vows to take revenge, we will not be worth the loss."
Lin Bi sighed: "I also know the truth, but if this person returns to officialdom, he will be our enemy. I'm very worried that Ting Fei will fall for his tricks."
The middle-aged guard said proudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general is unparalleled in the army and has our protection. No matter what conspiracy and tricks, as long as we ignore it, we will be fooled. The battlefield is a dignified fight. This man can What role does it play, and I don't think they will be much better. I heard from the county master that King Qing Li Kang Qi Wang Li Xian probably already hates him to the core. There are obvious signs of discord between the brothers. What about Dayong self-destructing the Great Wall?"
Lin Bi sighed and was about to speak when Lin Tong's voice came from outside, "Little sister, what are you doing here?"
Lin Bi's heart moved, and she listened carefully, and a young girl's tender voice came from outside: "Rou Lan has been ordered by her father to invite Princess Jiaping and Princess Hongxia to visit Jinghai Villa."
Lin Tong's hesitant voice came from outside: "Little sister, who is your father?"
The little girl said proudly, "My father's surname is Jiang Mingzhe."
Lin Bi was not shocked, but felt relieved. She had long suspected the identity of this little girl, but unfortunately, Beihan only knew some important things about Jiang Zhe's intelligence, but he was very vague about Jiang Zhe's private affairs, so Lin Bi could not Okay. Hearing this, she pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Miss Rou Lan, Lin Bi is very honored to have been invited by Your Excellency, and will definitely go to the meeting."
Rou Lan said happily: "That would be great."
Lin Bi took a closer look and saw that Rou Lan still had a few posts in her hands, so she asked with a smile, "Do you still want to send posts, little sister?"
Rou Lan said: "Yes, there are also posts by General Lu Can, His Highness King Qi and His Highness King Qing."
Lin Tong said: "Rou Lan, you are so young, why don't you let others send it over?"
Rou Lan tilted her head and said, "This is a task that daddy gave Lan Lan, of course Lan Lan can't let others do it."
Lin Bi looked at Xiaoroulan's innocent and serious face, and couldn't help but smile, and said to herself, "I should meet Jiang Zhe too if I can raise such a lovely daughter."
Under the same starry sky, Lu Can's heart is full of worries. Fu Yulun has now been placed under house arrest, and killing this person is just an effort, but thinking that this person is Shang Xiang's quick son-in-law, Lu Can is a little hesitant. .
When he was about to set off, Lu Can received a letter from Jiang Zhe, chatting a few words in his heart, telling Nan Chu that a high-ranking official wanted to plot the East China Sea, took the opportunity to frame himself, and asked Lu Can to find the place where the Yue clan was under house arrest. A possible place, and Lu Can's subordinates found the Yue clan suzerain in the forbidden army camp. After many years of fighting, Lu Can today is no longer so naive. He will not do anything to harm the interests of Nanchu because of Jiang Zhe. At that time, after thinking about it, he felt that although Shang Weijun had intentions to murder, he would not do anything to harm Nanchu's interests. Since he already knew in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to save his life, and if things are successful, then the benefits Nan Chu will get will also make Lu Can very excited. But after thinking about it again and again, Lu Can found that he had to be Jiang Zhe's pawn. Since Jiang Zhe has obtained the information, he will definitely set a trap in advance. At that time, Nan Chu will definitely fail and anger Donghai. heavy. Moreover, Shang Weijun has relied on the power of Fengyimen's remnants to be arrogant and arrogant in the past two years. Although Fengyimen has become a rat crossing the street, it is still a powerful force. Fengyimen is a great force to Nanchu. A double-edged sword, if used well, can fight against Dayong, but if it is not used well, it will bring disaster to Xiao Qiang. So Lu Can still rescued the hostages of the Yue clan according to Jiang Zhe's suggestion. Although they were placed under house arrest by the embargoed army, with the strength of the Lu family in the Nanchu military, Lu Can still let Lu Can rescue the people, and also blocked the news. . Moreover, Yue Wenhan, the current principal of the Yue clan, also accepted his favor. The Yue clan would not take refuge in Dayong too easily, and in the face of the Yue clan, Donghai could not be too hostile to Nan Chu. Although the Yue clan was still unreliable by the time Tuqiong Dagger appeared, but relying on Dayong and stumbling on Nan Chu's back probably wouldn't do it. Speaking of which, Nan Chu did not suffer, but Lu Can felt depressed and uneasy in his heart. Mr.'s plans became more and more unrestrained. In the future, when Dayong and Nan Chu were hostile, would he be able to deal with it? After thinking for a long time, Lu Can said in a low voice, "Sir, you have always liked the idea of alienation, I wonder if it is possible to alienate you and the Dayong court
He stood up and walked to the guest room next to him. There were two guards at the door of this guest room, which was where Fu Yulun was under house arrest. When Lu Can walked in, he saw Fu Yulun sitting on a chair with a pale face. As soon as he saw Lu Can coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "General, the lower officials are all under the orders of my father-in-law, please beg General Forgive me."
Lu Can's face was indifferent, and he said, "Get up, I know you can't be the master, but this is the case. What do you think I should do with you?"
Fu Yulun said in horror: "I just ask the general to spare his life, but if you have an order, all the lower officials will obey."
Lu Can smiled slightly and said, "I want you to go back and tell Shang Xiang that I, Lu Can, have no intention of fighting for power with him, but I can't allow anyone to bully him. I know that the remnants of Fengyi's clan are hidden by Shang Xiang, and I don't care about Shang Xiang. How to do it, but I want you to remind Shang Xiang that Feng Yi Sect has always been a rebel and can be used, but it must be guarded against, if Shang Xiang uses them to eradicate dissidents, I am afraid that Nan Chu will become their world in the end."
Fu Yulun was overjoyed, knowing that his life was finally saved, and hurriedly pointed to the promise of the day that he would definitely advise Shang Weijun. Lu Can sighed in his heart, thinking, if I kill this person, I'm afraid that there is only one way to go. Although this person may retaliate in the future, he can't be a monk right now.
Walking out of Fu Yulun's room, Lu Can said to the guards beside him: "Take good care of Mr. Fu, and don't let him come into contact with outsiders." Before returning to Nanchu, Lu Can did not want others to influence Fu Yulun and make him Changed the promise to ease the conflict between the Lu family and Shang Weijun.
Just after walking a few steps, she saw a little girl jumping in, holding a big red post in her hand, followed by two guards from Donghai, she smiled when she saw Lu Can: " Senior Brother Lu, Lan Lan has sent a message for Daddy." She looked at this young man curiously, she had already learned from others that this young man was Daddy's first disciple, so she took advantage of sending the message to see this senior.
Lu Can already knew that this girl was his teacher's daughter. Although he didn't understand how his teacher had such a daughter, it didn't prevent Lu Can from looking for his teacher's shadow from this girl. He gently stepped forward, stretched out his arms to pick up Rou Lan, and took a closer look. This little girl was Lingxiu Huimei, although she was young, she already had a bit of a teacher's spirit between her brows. Rou Lan asked curiously, "Senior Brother Lu, are you also a general who leads troops to fight?"
Lu Can showed a sincere smile and said, "Yes, I have also brought soldiers."
Rou Lan made a face and said, "I thought the generals were as majestic as Brother Lin's father, but Princess Bi is as beautiful and Senior Brother Lu is so gentle. It turns out that the generals don't have a specific appearance."
Lu Can smiled again, put down Rou Lan, put away his feelings, took over the post, and said lightly after reading: "Please tell the teacher that Lu Can is inconvenient to come to congratulate, and please forgive me."
Rou Lan asked strangely: "Senior Brother Lu, why don't you go? My little brother is very cute, don't you want to meet him?"
Lu Can smiled bitterly. If he really went, he would probably cause countless criticisms. Although he didn't care, how could he lead the troops if he made such a talk at this time? Shang Weijun couldn't justify accusing him of the matter in the East China Sea. After all, the remnants of Fengyi Sect could not appear in Nanchu in name, but if he went to visit Jiang Zhe himself, the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy would not be explained clearly. But how could he tell this little girl about these things, so he could only say lightly: "Please tell me sir, Can I wish my little brother a long life, please forgive Can for the inconvenience of visiting the door."
Rou Lan said obediently: "Oh, I will tell Daddy when I go back." After that, she left Lu Can's residence again.
Lu Can looked at Rou Lan's back and thought to himself, what is the purpose of Mr.
With a faint wry smile, Lu Can knew in his heart that whether he went or not, he would not be able to eliminate Shang Weijun's suspicions and suspicions about him. Let's see what Jiang Zhe is going to do, even if he falls into a trap, it's better than knowing nothing. An idea suddenly popped into his mind, he vaguely knew that Shang Weijun and Beihan had a secret alliance agreement. He never asked about these things before, but this time he met an important figure in the Beihan military in the East China Sea, Princess Jiaping, If I can reach a consensus with her, then it should be good for Southern Chu and Northern Han. Although it is a bit rude to ask for a meeting late at night, Princess Jiaping will not shut herself out, and no matter what the result is, people will misunderstand me. There is an agreement with the Beihan military, which is only good for himself. Looking at the misty night, Lu Can's heart was very bitter. In the past, he only wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country and perform his duties. He never thought that I, Lu Can, would also work hard, just to save my life for one day.
In the other guest house, Li Xian was wearing a loose robe, leaning on the soft couch, with his hands behind his head, seemingly relaxed, but there was a trace of sadness on his eyebrows, he was not a slow person, King Qing was full of He could clearly see the hatred and jealousy in his eyes, this time in the East China Sea, he overwhelmed King Qing's limelight. Li Xian was always uncertain whether this third brother was gloomy or extreme. Although the assassination of Concubine Ji showed Li Kang's determination and courage to take revenge, but the master of Fengyi Sect and the dignified concubine, such an assassination was a bit of a joke, and this incident also showed that Li Kang was not calm and extreme. side. But Li Xian had doubted in his heart that if Li Kang did not carry out such a reckless assassination, would he have the opportunity to guard Dongchuan, and Li Kang put his hatred between himself and Fengyimen in the clear because of his status as a prince , Fengyimen is inconvenient to deal with him, if Li Kang has three strengths and two weaknesses, then Fengyimen is the biggest suspect. So over the years, although President Li Kang has been suppressed by Fengyi Sect, he is not only safe, but his power is still growing steadily. If Li Kang had really thought of these things long ago, then Li Kang's scheming is not something that can be described as "deep".
Moreover, Li Xian also understands his current situation. If the emperor's brother Li Zhi has a little bit of suspicion and fear, then it must be a pattern of attacking in groups. At that time, he will lose his military power, and it is still light. I am afraid that there is only a possibility of confinement until death. , At this time, he has offended his third brother, Li Kang, the king of Qing, who is now the most honorable prince in the court. In fact, Li Xian knew very well that as long as he went to see Li Zhi in person and seriously pleaded guilty and surrendered, it would not be impossible to reverse the current predicament, but as long as he thought of bowing to Li Zhi, Li Xian felt a burst of depression in his heart. The older brother of the past is now the Emperor Dayong, the Supreme Being of Ninety-five. If he bows his head to him, wouldn't he also become a scumbag for the sake of Gouquan's life and wealth? The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. Li Xian thought to himself that he needed to see Jiang Zhe sooner. He faintly felt that the only person who could get him out of this deadlock was the weak scholar.
Thinking of Jiang Zhe, Li Xian felt a warm feeling in his heart. This person, when Nan Chu first met, he was cold and wary of himself, but for some reason, he always felt that this young man's weak physique was hiding something that made people feel uncomfortable. The power of fear, the second time we met, this man met himself in a narrow way, and he saved his life, although nine times out of ten, it was because he wanted to escape from Yong Jun. Although he was grateful and let him go, the regret in his heart was very deep. Then Jiang Zhe was brought back to Dayong by his brother, undressed and pushed food, and wanted to recruit him, but Jiang Zhe agreed to his invitation. At that time, he was an incredible surprise, but in the end it was a farce with anger When he left Prince Yong's Mansion, he wanted to kill him, but then he was seriously injured, but the first thought that came to his mind was to save his life. Later, the prince and King Yong sweared each other, the hunting palace changed catastrophically, and he was placed under house arrest. He held Jiang Zhe hostage for various reasons, whether it was to save his life or take him as a hostage, but he was saved in the end. He had no intention of repaying his life, so when he was placed under house arrest by King Yong afterwards, he never hoped that Jiang Zhe would save his life. However, this person is the kind of dripping water in return for the spring. First, he let himself be the hostage of Fengyi's sect master with him, so that he had the opportunity to "condemn his crimes", and then Beihan took the opportunity to attack, and this person also left a message to recommend him. Only have the opportunity to wear the shirt again. Li Xian has long regarded Jiang Zhe as a friend who can be made friends. Although this man has a deep heart, he is a person who values love and righteousness. If he regards you as his own, then there is no need to worry about being betrayed by him. Therefore, this time, he risked being impeached and went to the East China Sea, hoping to get the help of this person to get himself out of the current situation. Before breaking the Northern Han Dynasty and pacifying the Southern Chu, he Li Xian would not be reconciled to being impeached like this. Framed, the big man should be wrapped in horse leather and die in the battlefield, how can he die in a prison and be framed by a villain.
While Li Xian was worrying about gains and losses, the guard beside him came in to report: "Your Highness, Miss Rou Lan sent a message for Mr. Jiang, inviting His Highness to go to Jinghai Villa to attend the young master's birthday banquet."
Li Xian's spirit was shocked, and finally a formal invitation came. He smiled and said, "Let Rou Lan come in."
Rou Lan walked in, saw Li Xian, and bowed obediently on the ground to meet him. The last time we met on the boat, the identity of King Qi had not been revealed. Naturally, no one told Rou Lan the identity of King Qi. I had seen King Qi in the middle of the school, but Rou Lan was still young at the time, so she naturally didn’t remember King Qi’s appearance. Now her identity is clear, Rou Lan came to see Li Xian this time. Raised, and went in and out of the palace many times, he was very familiar with these etiquettes, and saluted and kowtowed very smoothly and naturally.
Li Xian smiled and said: "Rou Lan, get up quickly, you are now Chang Le's daughter, you should also call me uncle, how can you be so polite." After speaking, he lifted Rou Lan to his lap and asked: "Are your father and mother in good health? I heard that they already have a son. Both of them are weak. I don't know if your little brother is in good health."
Rou Lan said excitedly: "My little brother is very strong, and he doesn't like to cry. My grandfather said that my mother is taking good care of herself, and my little brother is very strong. My father and the princess are both very good, and they often go out to sea by boat, but Daddy's hair has turned light gray, according to my grandfather, it's because of the drug, but in the future, Daddy won't have to worry about the recurrence of the old injury."
Li Xian asked curiously, "Who is your grandfather?"
Rou Lan flashed her big eyes and said, "Don't you know that uncle, the grandfather's surname is Sang, and both father and mother treat him as a grandfather."
Li Xian said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Sang, the medical saint, and I want to come here. When Suiyun left the capital, it was almost the same, not to mention that he was terminally ill. Sure enough, only Mr. Sang could save him."
Rou Lan shook her head and said, "Master said, Daddy himself can be cured, but it will take a few more years, and the effect will not be so good."
Li Xian asked unintentionally, "Did your father invite King Qing?"
Rou Lan said: "Uncle Shun said that His Royal Highness King Qing is His Majesty's messenger. It would be rude for me to send a message, so Shun Shun went by himself."
Li Xian smiled knowingly. It seemed that in Jiang Zhe's mind, King Qing was just an outsider. Thinking that King Qing would attack him in the future, he also had a strong backup.
At this time, out of the corner of Li Xian's eyes, he saw a small figure hiding in the doorway, hesitating to come out. Li Xian couldn't help laughing. Although Lin'er showed a cold and impatient attitude, it seemed that he still wanted to Getting close to Xiao Rou Lan, but now it's too late, Rou Lan has to go back to rest, Li Xian can only pretend not to see it, and ask Rou Lan a few more gossip, and let Rou Lan be sent back. After sending Rou Lan away, Li Xian is full of expectations. It seems that the meeting of Jinghai will bring him a satisfying harvest.
In the new house, Yue Qingyan was very uneasy. After drinking the wine, Jiang Haitao went to take care of the aftermath, and Yue Qingyan also knew that she could not consummate the house until her poison was solved, but she felt that Jiang Haitao was in The look in the new house is always a little cold, and I can't help but worry. At this time, Xue Qiuxue walked in, saw Yue Qingyan's panicked expression, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm so nervous, I'm here to help you undress, the bridegroom is inconvenient to come today, and my aunt said let me accompany you, lest you alone."
Yue Qingyan reluctantly smiled, and with the help of Xue Qiuxue, she removed the hairpin and phoenix crown. She said uneasy: "Sister-in-law, do you think Xiang Gong is still angry with me?"
Xue Qiuxue laughed and said: "Silly boy, since the little Marquis didn't refuse to marry you in person, he just likes you in his heart, but before you entered the bridal chamber, let the groom pass out on the ground. After that, the man has been married, and the bridegroom is relieved, and he can't help but think of the old account, these men, there is no one who does not love face, isn't your brother angry with me just because I asked General Pei for help?"
Yue Qingyan shyly said: "Sister-in-law, brother is jealous, if you didn't come up with a way, I'm afraid that our family will be separated and die, and brother won't be in trouble with you for too long. I remember when my brother pursued you, but it was bad. Take out my heart and show it to you."
A hint of shyness and sweetness flashed in Xue Qiuxue's eyes, but then she looked straight and said, "Qingyan, there is something your brother asked me to tell you, now the crisis of the Yue clan has not passed, and most of Yue Wujiao's best friends have died. In the East China Sea, but there are still his people in the Yue clan, and the suzerain and the others are in the hands of Lu Can. We have inherited Lu Can's favor. This favor will be repaid sooner or later. After all, Dayong and Nan Chu cannot coexist peacefully. Our Yue family has to make a choice. This time, your brother will take over the position of the suzerain, and the clan will be purged, and Nanchu's power in Nanmin will also increase. Although your brother has reached an agreement with the Hai family to get After obtaining the ship chart and chart, we were also forced to cede part of the shipping business to Hai Shi. In this way, it is impossible for us to overwhelm Hai Shi for more than ten years. Your brother is not worried about this, but when he is big When Yong and Nan Chu went to war, the Hai clan could follow Donghai wholeheartedly, but we had to sway left and right, and in the end, I am afraid that the strong man would have to break his wrist in order to save the Yue clan, so the road ahead for the Yue clan will be very difficult."
Yue Qingyan said anxiously, "So what does my brother want me to do?"
Xue Qiuxue said firmly: "Qingyan, your brother said that as long as you do one thing, he will be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family with peace of mind, don't do anything for the Yue family that will harm the Jiang family, and don't fight for anything for the Yue family. Interests, this is a man's business, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a daughter and a sister, now you are the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and you will be the mother of the child in the future, you have to think about the Jiang family in everything you do."
Yue Qingyan's clear eyes were full of tears, and said, "Sister-in-law, but I can't watch my brother suffer!"
Xue Qiuxue comforted: "Silly child, have you forgotten that the Jiang family and the Yue family are in-laws after all, as long as you get their respect and love, they will naturally take care of the Yue family for you. If you lose your husband's love and importance, Then you can't help Yuejia, so remember, you just need to be a good wife, and Yuejia is not so easy to be defeated."
Yue Qingyan nodded fiercely and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Qingyan will not be used by anyone again. If the Jiang family holds grudges and refuses to help the Yue clan, at most Qingyan and the Yue clan will live and die together. I will never do anything against women's ethics."
Xue Qiuxue smiled and said again: "We have also received an invitation to participate in the meeting at Jinghai Villa, and then you will accompany Haitao to visit his teacher, and your poison will also require him to find a way, so You can rest well, that person's status is detached, if you get his appreciation, your status in the Jiang family will be very different."
A look of longing flashed in Yue Qingyan's eyes, and she said, "Sister-in-law, I also want to see Mr. Jiang and Princess Changle. I heard that they are a pair of immortals?"
Xue Qiuxue smiled and said, "Then you'll be able to see it soon, but don't forget, that man is resourceful and resourceful, and he can be called the most terrifying person in the world."
