443 Cause and effect
In order to save physical strength in the next round of the game and only sent a substitute lineup to play, the Liuyun team was naturally not a splendid opponent, The two sides circled the maze for more than two hours, and finally met under the expectation of the crowd, and then the two sides quickly started fighting, and quickly ended the battle after the fight, and worked together to quickly end this disgusting battle.
"Which of you wins?" On the way to the Preparation Hall, Wu Ting was still thinking about Yan Qiyuanchang and Xiao Chen's bet.
"It was a draw. "Yan Qidao.
"Oh, what a coincidence. Wu Ting looked at the three people with a smile, and bit the word "Qiao" emphatically, "No one released the water, right?"
"It's really possible to say that," Yan Qidao said, "This is against the spirit of the martial arts! I saw Xiao Chen's feet slipping on purpose anyway." β
Xiao Chen: "...... No, not on purpose. β
"Classmate Yuan was deliberately muddy. Yan Qi glanced at Xiang Yuan.
"It's the mud in your hair that has slipped down, okay!" Yuan Chang shook his head like a big hairy dog, and the mud splashed immediately.
"So you really didn't release the water?" Yan Qi glanced at Xiao Chen and Yuan Chang.
Yuan Chang: "No!"
Xiao Chen: "Hmm. β
"Okay, I'll admit it, I released the water," Yan Qi spread his hands, "So I'm still a step ahead, and I'll leave it to you two." β
Xiao Chen: "......" fell for her routine again......
Yuan Chang: "I admit that I used twelve percent of my strength, compared to Xiao Chen's ten percent of my strength, I still lost two percent, so give me your armor." β
"......" Wu Ting looked at him with a "You have fed the dog" gaze.
After Yan Qi came out of the preparation hall, he got a letter sent by the person surnamed Du, saying that the mud on his body was not easy to wash in the preparation hall, and he felt uncomfortable, and he wanted to go back to the house to clean it up first, and he wanted to see Min Xuewei another day......
Yan Qi is not easy to force, but fortunately, knowing the other party's surname, it is not difficult to find out his address.
While the inter-academy martial arts competition was in full swing, the comprehensive martial arts delegation from Damo had already arrived in Kyoto, and the β‘β‘ had begun negotiations and consultations on the form of the comprehensive martial arts competition between the two countries.
For a time, the whole of Beijing was filled with tension and excitement about the approaching war.
Young Master Yan Jiu and Xiao Chen were continuing their arduous investigation of their backgrounds.
Young Master Yan Jiu even went to Xiao Mansion again and had a face-to-face communication with Xiao Tianhang.
"I was in the province at the time, and I was completely unaware of what was happening in Beijing. Xiao Tianhang said to Young Master Yan Jiu, "King Shou has always acted calmly, and he has never seen him show any enthusiasm for the throne, but if he has no intention of taking the throne, it is a bit hypocritical, as long as he is an aspiring man, who doesn't want to stand at the top of the world and use the power in his hands to achieve a grand ambition? Not to mention that he is a royal bloodline, compared with other princes, he is indeed a wood show in the forest, he himself may not be unaware, so it is inevitable to think about major events in his heart. β
"So is there anyone in the Bu family who seems to be uneasy about the status quo and ambitious?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu.
"If it's up to me, I'm afraid that you want me to be biased, but I really don't think anyone in the Bu family dares to have such courage to plan that thing," Xiao Tianhang looked at him, "What's more, as you said, King Shou is the most powerful contender for the throne, in a position like his, it is the best policy to wait and see what happens, and the Bu family is not stupid, why bother to take the thorny path if you don't take it?"
"So I suspect that there is something hidden in King Shou's incident," Young Master Yan Jiu said bluntly, "Throughout history, it is not uncommon to see unjust cases and tragic deaths of losers due to the seizure of the throne, so there is reason to suspect that there was a great suspicion of King Shou's competitors at that time." β
Xiao Tianhang pondered for a long time, and said: "I haven't thought about the possibility you said, because I was in the province at the time, and when I was allowed to return to Beijing, everything had already subsided, and all the clues and evidence were erased and covered up intentionally or unintentionally...... Now it's the first time in many years, and if you want to verify it, I'm afraid it's like looking for a needle in a haystack......"
"I want to know, what is the character of the second master of the Bu family?" Young Master Yan Jiu decided to ask carefully, and chose the second master of Bu as the starting point, one is because his widow and orphan are still alive, and the other is because he is the concubine of the Bu family, although Young Master Yan Jiu does not discriminate against concubines, but he cannot let go of all possibilities because of this.
"Seriously, the second master of the Bu family, Bu Xingchi, is a gentle person," Xiao Tianhang fell into recollection, "The temper is excellent, and he always smiles warmly when he meets people, and vaguely remembers that the second master of the step family said that since he got married, he has never seen this second master angry, although I often go to the Bu family, but there are few opportunities to see him, I heard that most of the time the second master is reading books in the room, and what he reads is not an orthodox article, similar to medical books, but he does not treat people, he specializes in some animals, what cats, dogs, rabbits, Parrot thrush and the like, the old lady said that he didn't do his job, and he didn't change it, just laughed and went his own way. It stands to reason that such a person should have no ambitions, but because I don't know much about them, and the human heart is the most unpredictable, it is difficult to make conclusions. β
Young Master Yan Jiu's eyebrows raised slightly: "You said he would be able to heal parrots?"
"Yes," Xiao Tianhang sighed, "The parrot raised by Xinghe taught him to save him several times, and Xinghe regarded that parrot as his life, so he always joked that he owed his second brother several life-saving graces, and when his second brother was old in the future, he would definitely provide for him." His second brother smiled and said, "There is no need to support the elderly, if I go to Lord Yama in the future to order a meal, I will be grateful to take care of your second sister-in-law and your two nephews for me......."
Young Master Yan Jiu stared at the teacup in his hand for a long time, and then said, "No wonder." β
"What?" Xiao Tianhang looked at him.
"Second Master Bu's wife, do you know anything about this person?" Young Master Yan Jiu continued to ask
"Step Er Grandma, I've seen less of this person, but I've heard rumors about her......" Xiao Tianhang hesitated slightly, as if he felt that conveying gossip was not in line with his style, but he looked at the calm and intelligent eyes of the young man in front of him, as well as his appearance like Yan Qi, which made him really unable to refuse his request, and it could even be said that he had been faintly hoping that the thing he suspected was true, if that- if that-
Pressing down a little bit of his excitement, Xiao Tianhang solemnly said to Young Master Yan Jiu: "It is rumored that when the second grandmother Yang was not out of the cabinet, she was very interested in Xinghe, and her family was also willing to synchronize the family to climb this family, but Luohua was ruthless, Xinghe was willing to give up his sister and refused to marry her, so the Yang family retreated and married the second master of the Bu family, and became the wife of the concubine of the Bu family as a concubine.
"After the sister-in-law got married, I was a little worried that the Yang family would target her, so I asked her privately several times if she got along well with the concubine, and the sister-in-law said, whose concubine can be completely selfless? The implication is that the Yang family is not close to her, and then after more than a year, when I asked her again, the sister smiled and said such a thing:
When the sister first entered the door, the Yang family was a little cold to her, and she also avoided the galaxy - after all, there were rumors outside, and she didn't see much intimacy with her husband Bu Xingchi, and she went to the room every day to ask for peace, and it was common for the husband and wife to go one after the other, and they didn't even want to walk side by side, and even heard the maid in the courtyard of the second room say that the Yang family often didn't know why the synchronizing Xingchi had a cold face and was awkward, and refused to pay attention to him for several days, but Bu Xingchi didn't care.
"And slowly more than a year has passed, the two people in the second room don't know when there have been some changes, go to the room to ask for peace is no longer one after the other, but come and go side by side, Yang's face is also more, no longer see Buxingchi cold face, often can see her in her arms with Buxingchi's cured cat rabbit outside basking in the sun, to the housekeeper also seems to be a lot warmer, and a particularly obvious change is that Yang no longer avoids the galaxy, and there is talk and laughter when they meet, as if they don't care about the rumor at all......
The sister said that this alone is enough to see that she has let go, has no mustard in her heart, and acts naturally and openly. I can only slightly agree with this, and I dare not be sure, after all, it is still the same sentence - people's hearts are unpredictable. But all in all, the brothers and sisters of the big long house of the Bu family still get along very well on the surface, as for what kind of thoughts they have with each other, the sister has never talked to me, I am afraid that I am worried, and I, an outsider, naturally do not ask more, so at present, I can only provide you with these. β
Young Master Yan Jiu was speechless for a while. If there is no conspiracy theory according to this statement, it is really just an unintentional move by Aunt Yang to put the heavenly stone in Yan Qifang.
And, Yan Jinglan's series of small actions, is it just his own heart?
After being silent for a long time, Young Master Yan Jiu decided to put aside the matter of Aunt Yang's three first, and returned to the matter of King Shou's rebellion, and asked Xiao Tianhang, who was secretly observing him: "At that time, who were the princes who could compete with King Shou?"
"Today's saint is one," Xiao Tianhang said in a low voice, "However, judging from the tone of Xinghe's occasional words, this one doesn't seem to be interested in that position at all. β
"Is this possible?" Young Master Yan Jiu raised his eyes slightly, "Supreme power is at your fingertips, can there be any man in this world who will not be tempted?"
"Not really," Xiao Tianhang smiled. In history, there are more than one or two emperors who don't want to be emperors, people often love to spend other people's bellies with their own hearts, but they don't know that the same rice raises a hundred kinds β‘β‘of people, and they think that incredible things are just as common in others, and they regard them as supreme things, and they are regarded as supreme things in others, and they are regarded as nothing in others, so children, never judge the merits and demerits of others by their own standards, and never use their own experience to judge the behavior, words and deeds of othersοΌβ
Young Master Yan Jiu got up and bowed: "The junior has been taught." β
Xiao Tianhang smiled warmly and motioned for Young Master Yan Jiu to sit down: "It was me who nagged a few more words, and I got down to business." The current one, no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, it seems that he has no interest in the position on his head, so he went to the Splendid Academy incognito through the rules set by the previous emperor, and refused to return to the Royal Academy once he went. In the years when I was studying in Jinxiu, I soaked with the stars every day, and I had to go out to play in the mountains and rivers every holiday day, if you were the top, which one would you prefer compared to the two sons?"
The answer is obvious, if the emperor wants to let the country flourish in the hands of his son, of course, he will choose the more capable and self-motivated one.
"Of course, if this one has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time, then it's two words. Xiao Tianhang added meaningfully.
So now back to Young Master Yan Jiu's speculation, if it is the current emperor who is competing for the throne with King Shou, then the uncle is facing the problem of choosing one of the two, and he did choose the current emperor, which will also mean that he really betrayed Bu Xinghe and wiped out his friend's entire family with his own hands.
"King Shou's rival, is it only the current emperor?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu unwillingly.
Xiao Tianhang pondered for a while, and said for a long time: "In fact, there is another person, but it is impossible to think about him." β
"Oh, who is it?"
β¦β¦
Yan Qi is also a man of action, since he learned of Min Xuewei's whereabouts, he didn't wait long and took the initiative to find the door, accompanied by Yuan Chang, who claimed to be a bag bearer, although Yan Qi did not bring a bag.
However, with the comrade of the bag bearer, he still saved a lot of trouble, put on the identity of the uncle of the country, and was directly invited into the Du Mansion.
When Yuan Chang was in front of the upper room and was accompanied by the Du family to drink tea, Yan Qi saw Min Xuewei in the small courtyard behind.
Even if she was wearing the clothes of the subordinate, it did not hide her beautiful appearance, but she lost a lot of weight, and her face looked a little dull because she had not eaten well for a long time, but no matter what, even if she was a cheap slave, she still did not lose her original style, and stood there lightly, looking at Yan Qi and smiling shallowly.
"Can you still hold on?" Yan Qi asked her. There is no need to say much to the smart people.
"It's okay," Min Xuewei smiled again, "It's much better than my cousin who was sold to the Qinglou." β
"Do you need my help?" Yan Qi didn't pay much attention to what she said, and the smart Min Xuewei must be able to understand what she meant.
"No need. Min Xuewei looked at her gently, "As a lowly person, it's the same wherever you go, and your fate in this life is already doomed." β
"I think I can buy you and settle you in the outer village, although life will be a little harder, but it is better than being tortured here. "Yan Qidao.
Min Xuewei thought about it seriously, suddenly smiled, and said, "If you can, then please leave it to you." β
What Yan Qi appreciates is her free and simple, not angry and entangled because of what happened to her, nor is she too pretentious.
"Then go back and pack up, maybe I can take you away today." Yan Qi's crispness is not much better than her.
Min Xuewei also went back to the room to pack her clothes, Yan Qi went to the front and went to the room, called Yuan Chang aside, and whispered a few words, Yuan Chang only said, "Leave it to me." So he went directly to the old lady of the Du family.
Half an hour later, Yan Qi had already taken Min Xuewei to stand outside the gate of Du Mansion.
"Yuan Chang will take you to his villa to settle down first," Yan Qi and Min Xuewei said, "I'll go to the Taipinghu Mansion to find Master Qiao to go through all kinds of procedures for you, if nothing else, you can set off to go to my mother's Zhuangzi to marry the day after tomorrow, and I will find someone to send you there. β
Min Xuewei smiled lightly: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, if you can't pay it back in this life, you will pay it back in the next life." β
"Okay, I'll treat you to good tea in the next life. Yan Qidao, "Let's go, I'll go to Taiping Mansion." β
Min Xuewei didn't move immediately, her lake-like gaze stayed on Yan Qi's face for a while, and she opened her thin lips lightly for a while, and said: "When I noticed you, it wasn't because I thought you were different, but there was something that I couldn't erase in my heart, this thing was too bizarre, I couldn't verify it in person, and then I met an opportunity to get to know you, so I thought about one for temptation, and the other for friendship, but after making friends, I understood your personality, and then I stopped tempting." Today, I am afraid that you and I will not meet again in this life, and I don't know how this incident will affect you, before I leave, I want to tell you that if you are not interested, it will be fine. β
"Say, since it's something you care about, it won't be meaningless. "Yan Qidao.
"This matter," Min Xuewei looked at her, "has something to do with your uncle Yan Zike." 166 Reading Network
