When Liao Chuxiu took Feng Qiao to Linshui Pavilion, Helan Mingquan was talking to someone.

Before he even entered the door, he could hear the sound of laughter coming from inside.

The surname of the shopkeeper of Linshui Pavilion is Ye, who is called Ye Bo, who once followed the old man Weng to the north and south, and had a lifelong friendship with him, and later after Shao Jin entered Beijing, the old man Weng let Ye Bo follow him into Beijing, and now he is in charge of all the business of the Weng family in Beijing.

When he saw the two of them, Ye Bo hurriedly saluted.

"Master Hou, madam. ”

Liao Chuxiu called Ye Bo, and reached out to help him get up before asking, "Who is Grandpa and inside?"

Ye Bo smiled and said, "It's Yongxin Hou." ”

Yongxin Hou?

Xu Yu?

Liao Chuxiu and Feng Qiao glanced at each other, that Xu Yu was an old minister of Emperor Yongzhen, and he followed Emperor Yongzhen when he was the prince, and even worshiped hussars after Emperor Yongzhen ascended the throne.

The Yongxin Marquis Mansion is very low-key, Xu Yu has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and he rarely appears in the court, but he is really the most trusted person of Emperor Yongzhen.

When the Yanghui rebellion, Xu Yu was the supervisor of the army, accompanied by the supervision of Liao Chuxiu's southern expedition, and took over the southern expeditionary army with the divine machine and the second battalion of Feiyu, and later recalled that Yuntai collapsed, and when Emperor Yongzhen was seriously injured and dying, it was Xu Yu who went out of the city to lead the troops back to Beijing, defend the Beijing division, and pacify the chaos in Beijing.

If there is the most trusted person of Emperor Yongzhen in the army, then that person is not Chen Pinyun, not Dong Nianzhi, not Helan Mingquan, but only Yongxin Hou Xu Yu.

When Helan Mingquan left Beijing under the pretext of leaving the palace before, he had already made it clear to the palace that he had set off to return to Hefu County, and now he was still stranded in Beijing, which was already a bully, but why did he meet Xu Yu here?

"Do you want to go in?" Feng Qiao asked.

Liao Chuxiu shook his head: "Wait first." ”

He didn't know if Xu Yu came here because Helan Mingquan invited him, or if he himself noticed Helan Mingquan's whereabouts, if it was the latter, Xu Yu would definitely be wary of Helan Mingquan, and if they met again at this time, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no other incident.

Liao Chuxiu gave two orders to Ye Bo, and then took Feng Qiao to the compartment to wait.

The two stayed for half an hour before Ye Bo ordered someone to spread the word, saying that Xu Yu had left.

Liao Chuxiu and the others came out of that side and went to the wing where Helan Mingquan was.

Helan Mingquan was making tea, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and when he saw the two of them, he suddenly smiled on his face: "You are here." ”

Liao Chuxiu stepped forward and called his grandfather.

Feng Qiao was no stranger to Helan Mingquan, and he also called someone obediently next to him.

Helan Mingquan laughed loudly: "You girl, I liked it when I looked at it, and I tried my best to let you call me grandpa, but now I listen to it like this, or this grandfather is more pleasing to the ear." After speaking, he glanced at Liao Chuxiu, "It's unproductive, I wrote to me three years ago to let me see my granddaughter-in-law, but it took so many years to deceive this girl." ”

Feng Qiao's face was slightly red when she heard this, she had long known from Liao Yihuan that Liao Chuxiu had tricked her into going to Helan's house to deliver a letter a few years ago, and now when she heard Helan Mingquan mention it, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, when she went, she really only thought it was to deliver a letter.

Liao Chuxiu didn't care about Helan Mingquan's words, he has such a cruel father-in-law, he can marry his daughter-in-law is already capable, what is three years?

He pulled Feng Qiao to sit opposite Helan Mingquan and asked, "Grandpa, how did Xu Yu find here?"

Helan Mingquan said lightly: "He didn't find it, I brought him here." ”

He has been marching for decades, and although he lost his internal strength three years ago because of that battle, his years of experience have not been in vain.

He has been cautious since he entered Beijing, and later crossed the clear road after returning to Beijing under the pretext of leaving Beijing, in this case, how could he leave traces and be noticed by others?

If it weren't for his own willingness, who in this capital would know his whereabouts?

Liao Chuxiu frowned when he heard this, and Feng Qiao also looked at Helan Mingquan in puzzlement, obviously neither of them understood why he would take the initiative to provoke Xu Yu.

Liao Chuxiu couldn't help but ask: "Xu Yu is a close minister of Emperor Yongzhen, and he is very trusted by Emperor Yongzhen, so my grandfather took the initiative to find him, so he is not afraid that he will tell the palace the news that you have not left Beijing?"

"Emperor Yongzhen has not coveted Hefu County over the years, but for no reason, and there is South Vietnam eyeing him, so he didn't dare to rashly attack the Helan family, but if he knew that his grandfather had never left Beijing, he would definitely ask for the crime in the name of bullying the king, and he would never let go of this opportunity so easily, although he didn't dare to touch you at that time, but it was not impossible to keep you in Beijing under the pretext of containing your uncle and them. ”

"Why are you taking such risks?"

Helan Mingquan smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Xu Yu won't." ”

Seeing that the two of them looked at him puzzled, Helan Mingquan said: "Although he is Xiao Shu's old minister, he is even more in the army, and he knows better than anyone the importance of Helan family's safety to Dayan. ”

"Over the years, the Helan family has guarded Bai'an, kept the South Vietnamese countries out of Yichuan, and ensured the safety of the Yan court for a hundred years, Xiao Shu is the emperor, he may attack the Helan family because of his power, but Xu Yu will definitely not, and even he will take the initiative to hide the news that I am still in Beijing for me, so as not to let Xiao Shu catch me and mind sending my Helan family. ”

Liao Chuxiu and Feng Qiao were not stupid people, and after listening to Helan Mingquan's words, they instantly understood the meaning of his words.

It's just that......

"What is Grandpa looking for Xu Yu for?" Feng Qiao couldn't help but ask.

Helan Mingquan glanced at Feng Qiao, his eyes fell on her eyebrows that were getting better and better, and said slowly: "I just want to see if Xu Yu is still the same as back then." ”

Feng Qiao was puzzled.

Helan Mingquan said in a low voice: "Do you know that Xu Yu assisted Emperor Yongzhen to seize power in the chaos and pacified Jingzhong for him, why did he quietly retire after Emperor Yongzhen ascended the throne?"

Feng Qiao frowned and said, "Isn't it because of injury..."

There are rumors in Beijing, saying that when Xu Yu was pacifying the chaos in Beijing, he was injured by rescuing the driver, so he took off his armor and returned home for a long time without going to the battlefield.

"Wounded?huh..."

Helan Mingquan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this: "Those of us who are marching and fighting, how many of us are not injured, not to mention that you look at Xu Yu who is alive and well now, do you look like he is injured?

"You must know that Chen Pinyun at that time was just a partial general, Dong Nianzhi's father was only a third-grade general, there was no Chen family or Dong family in this court, and even Lu Qinghan was just a hairy boy, and the Xu family of Yongxin Houfu was the place where the real military power in the entire Great Yan Dynasty was located. ”
