Chapter 53: Zhang Wuji invited
Back to Tianfu, the sky is still a little hazy, but the east has begun to shine a glimmer of light, the servants saw the eldest prince come back, one by one hurriedly bowed and saluted, although the eldest prince of Tianyan has never bullied them, but the shadow of the famous tree of people, Tianyan's many evil deeds in Kyoto, is still extremely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Tianyan didn't pay attention to it, and slowly walked towards the backyard, but was stopped by a servant girl who lowered her head and shouted: "Childe, Madam said, let you go home and go to her." “
Tianyan didn't reply, and went back to his small courtyard directly, and learned that Tianyan had returned, and Tudou and Zi'er also returned to the small courtyard as soon as possible.
In the backyard, a few maple trees rustled in the breeze, and Tianyan sat quietly on the grass in the garden, frowning slightly.
"In other words, Chunyue Lou Mingyue is indeed connected with the eldest prince Zhao Gao?" Tianyan said in a low voice.
Tudou also put away the hippie smiling face of the past, and said seriously: "According to the intelligence, Zhao Gao has repeatedly assigned Gou Bujiao to go to the Spring Moon Tower and Mingyue Joint, and from the current situation, it should be." “
Hearing this, Tianyan fell into contemplation, according to the inference, the assassination of him must be related to Mingyue, but whether the other party wants to drag Mingyue into the water, or whether Mingyue did it, is still confusing, but the possibility of the former is bound to be higher.
But now that Zhao Gao and Mingyue are actually involved, the previous inference is a little untenable, or is it that the mastermind is Zhao Gao, and Mingyue is a chess piece that Zhao Gao put on the bright side and abandoned?
"Childe, the whereabouts of the ancestor of the Sun family are also unknown at present, the half-step Heavenly Gate Realm cultivators are too much of a threat to our secret guards, if we forcibly look for them, maybe they will expose us to the table, you see, do you need to use some other means?" Tudou asked in a low voice.
Tianyan stroked his forehead, the half-step Heavenly Gate Realm ancestor of the Sun family, although the threat was not small, he didn't know his true identity, so it was not a big problem at the moment.
"It's okay, let him go first, he has lost the opportunity to step into the Heavenly Gate Realm, and he can deal with it slowly in the future. After Tianyan said that, he asked again: "How is Boya's situation now?" “
"Childe, rest assured, Boya is no longer in serious trouble, and in another month, he should be able to recover. Tudou continued: "It's just that Ling Xiuxiu was the last time you asked us to investigate, and we didn't find out her identity. “
"Huh?" Tianyan was a little surprised, Ling Xiuxiu's embarrassment when he left, he saw it in his eyes, just with Ling Xiuxiu's affection for him, he would also want to help that girl once, but Tianyan didn't expect that the girl's identity was not even found out by Qi Tiange.
"Keep looking, just let me know as soon as you find anything new. Tianyan waved his hand and motioned for Tudou and Zi'er to go down first.
Zi'er Potato and the two glanced at each other, they could see a little helplessness in the latter's eyes, but they were helpless, they both knew very well that what Childe didn't want to say, they couldn't ask, this seemingly young boy had too many secrets hidden, just like a black hole that couldn't see low, mysterious and dangerous.
After Tudou and Zi'er left, Tianyan sat on the grass for a while, until the sun rose in the east and the sun pierced the sky, then he slowly got up and walked towards the lobby.
In the lobby, Ah Ya'er sat quietly on the main seat and drank tea, Tianyan walked into the lobby lazily, randomly chose a position and collapsed on it, looked at Ah Ya'er with a decadent look, and said helplessly: "Mother?
Ah Ya'er glanced at Tianyan angrily, but after seeing the long sword behind Tianyan, she was slightly stunned, and then quickly returned to normal, and said indignantly: "It's not that you stinky boy doesn't have a good way all day long, the princess looks down on you, and you have to hold a competition in the palace, only by passing the eyes of the princess, can you really become a concubine." “
"And this?" Tianyan heard this, and suddenly came to his senses, and the whole person sat up from the chair, looked at Ah Ya'er with blazing eyes, and said: "Then I can't go anymore, so let the princess cancel the marriage contract." “
The emperor can marry the princess to such a scoundrel as him, just to tie up the heart of the heavenly family, and Tianyan does not intend to hand over the happiness of this life to a political exchange.
"Don't even think about it. Ah Ya'er slowly put the teacup back on the table, refused, and said: "Your family affairs are set by your father and the emperor personally, this test is just a formality, the most important thing in this competition is actually the most important thing is to choose a horse for the second princess Zhao Lin, that is to say, you even have the opportunity to choose one between the two princesses, but you categorically did not choose this option, understand?"
Hearing this, Tianyan slumped back in his chair again, revealing a loveless appearance, but if he looked closely, he would find that his brows were tightly knit on his depressed expression.
Emperor Zhao Yang was even willing to use the happiness of his two daughters to bind the Heavenly Family, the reason was nothing more than the intrusion from the border barbarians, and the royal family still needed Tianlie. But behind Qi Tiange's investigation for so many years, it is indeed very clear that Zhao Yang is ready to attack the Heavenly Family, and Zhao Yang's move is obviously a little abnormal.
Seeing that Tianyan was no longer speechless, Ah Ya'er thought that Tianyan had acquiesced to this arrangement, and was extremely happy in her heart, took out an emerald green bracelet from her arms, walked to Tianyan's side with a smile, and said: "This is your mother's dowry, and whoever you fancy when the time comes, you will give the bracelet to whomever you like, but I can warn you, if you provoke me in the palace, don't blame me for telling your father all about you." “
Tianyan put the bracelet in his arms without raising his head, and walked out of the lobby, leaving only a lazy voice: "I know my mother, when will I go?"
Ah Ya'er looked proud, and shouted at Tianyan: "Tomorrow, don't delay time." “
Tianyan: "......"
In the early morning of the next day, Tianyan slowly walked towards the direction of the palace, but this time he only wore the long sword given by Nie Yun, and left the thirteen in the heavenly family, not to mention the weirdness of the thirteen, that is, the sensitivity of Jian Yi's identity, Tianyan did not dare to wear it into the palace.
Along the way, Tianyan saw that countless dignitaries and nobles were also heading to the palace, and those unbeatable high-ranking officials in the past also nodded slightly when they saw Tianyan, and then quickly dodged.
Tianyan was also happy to be pure, and the less contact he had with others, the better it would be for him, but when Tianyan walked to the city gate, he was suddenly stopped by a voice.
"Tianyan Gongzi, are you interested in having a drink with the old man?"
Tianyan turned sideways, looked for the sound, and saw an old man in cloth clothes lying in a corner of the city gate at the moment, with a straw hat on his face, and he was pretending to sleep with Erlang's legs crossed.
The moment he saw the old man, Tianyan's heart suddenly tightened, because the old man was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was named the person who looked like a cloth cloth, Zhang Wuji.
A good prime minister actually came to guard the city gate, and had to drink two drinks with a gentleman, he may not believe it when he says it.
Tianyan shook his head, bowed to Zhang Wuji, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the prime minister is here, Tianyan is terrified." “
Hearing this, Zhang Wuji took off the straw hat covering his face, revealing a face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles, sat up and looked at Tianyan, and said, "What are you afraid of?" Come on, come on, sit down and drink two cups of green tea with me, how about playing this game of chess before leaving?"
Looking at Zhang Wuji's expression, Tianyan was a little unsure of the old man's thoughts, since the establishment of Qi Tiange, he has been committed to collecting intelligence from all sides, but the old man in front of him, the intelligence seems to be bland, as if there is nothing else except the side he shows, but the more this is the case, the more Tianyan feels that this old man is a little unfathomable.
"The palace held a recruitment test, Tianyan was impatient, for fear of disturbing Prime Minister Yaxing, and the prime minister might as well change someone. Tianyan gave up his hand and directly refused Zhang Wuji's invitation.
Zhang Wuji waved his hand, looked at Tianyan with deep meaning, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry! The old man is not in a hurry, if Tianyan Gongzi gives the old man face, he is naturally not in a hurry, you are right." “
