"What, could it be that you didn't go to Mingchengtang to inquire about the news, but went to other places to play?"

"Of course not. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Qingzhu hurriedly said: "Qingzhu naturally went to Mingcheng Hall, but when she got there, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Jiang Gongzi had already entered, and Qingzhu didn't dare to approach at will, so he wandered around the periphery for a long time, but he still didn't hear any useful news." ”

Old Man Liang's Mingcheng Hall is like the Heshou Zhai of the Dongda General's Mansion in Jian'anli Town, where the inside and outside are closely protected by the Ming and Secret Guards.

If the others don't even want to get closer, it is very likely that they will be caught by the guards and dealt with by the family law. Therefore, Liang Cheng had warned Qingzhu and Nianxiang early on, without her consent, they were not allowed to approach the guard range of Mingchengtang, so what could Qingzhu know about in such a peripheral place?

Liang Ming's answer to her was not too unexpected.

"It's good that you don't get close to Mingchengtang, with your grandfather here, how can others easily find out what is going on inside, and as soon as you hear that Qi Yu and Jiang Chao are visiting in the future, you don't go out at will."

For Qi Yu and Jiang Chao, Liang Cheng was absolutely uneasy, so at this time, she also mentioned her face to Qingzhu again, so that Qingzhu couldn't ignore it if she wanted to, but she hurriedly said: "Yes, miss, Qingzhu knows." ”

Just ran out, and it was also a playful nature, but at this time, seeing Liang Cheng's solemn instructions, Qingzhu was also a little weak and guilty, and naturally she didn't dare to slack off and agreed.

Qingjiao's promise, Liang Cheng naturally did not have a trace of doubt, and at this time, seeing her so upright, Liang Cheng was also relieved.

Leaning back slightly against the wall of the barrel with entwined green branches, in the steaming heat, Liang Cheng closed her eyes and took a rest, letting the green cocoons begin to pound, and gently smeared the red cream on her body.

Gradually, the faint floral fragrance as soft as silk satin spread into the ear room.

Although Liang Cheng doesn't like to smear on her body, Liang Cheng likes the cold fragrance of this special red mountain cream very much. And this is also the biggest reason why Liang Cheng will let Qingzhu go so tirelessly on her.

The curtain of the white jade orchid, under the sunlight outside the window, cast wisps of golden yellow light, making the fog begin to thicken.

When you look at it with the wrong eye, you can even see colorful reflection arcs, which is really a quiet and peaceful time.

On the side of the Lotus Pavilion, they are enjoying the laziness and quietness of a summer afternoon, but on the side of the Ming Cheng Hall, it is a completely different picture.

At least in the feelings of Qi Yu and Jiang Chao, they will definitely not have a trace of leisurely feeling, especially Qi Yu, when Old Man Liang's smiling gaze looked over, his back was straightened.

To say that he has been on the battlefield once, but compared with Old Man Liang's murderous aura like a sword and a sword, it is obvious that he is still very tender.

"Old General Liang, I don't know what you think?"

But there were some words, Qi Yu finally had to try his best to stabilize his voice and say.

"What do you think?" Old Man Liang smiled, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Third Prince is asking, is it the fortress outside Yingchuan City that was finally exchanged for the blood and tears of the front-line soldiers?" ”

Qi Yu was suddenly choked, and after a while, under the gaze of Old Man Liang, he spoke: "Exactly, what Qi Yu just asked is the fortress that is being built outside Yingchuan City, whether Old General Liang intends to advise the concubine and her old man." ”

"Advice on what?"

The temperature in the warm pavilion was already hotter than the outside, not to mention that there was no ice basin in the house at this time.

Therefore, Qi Ling is now covered with beads of sweat, but he doesn't know whether the sweat is smothered by this warm pavilion, or the cold sweat that is watched by Old Man Liang's gaze. It was just a few questions that were not light or serious, but when they spit out of Old Man Liang's mouth, they just smashed Qi Yu's back with cold sweat, and they slid down drop by drop.

"Old General Liang Mingjian, what my father means is that I hope you can send a letter to the old man of the concubine, and I hope that her old man can take back the edict of building the fortress outside Yingchuan City." Qi Yu didn't look at Old Man Liang at this time, he just lowered his head and said very respectfully.

"Is this Your Majesty's will?"

Old Man Liang raised his eyebrows, but Qi Yu didn't raise his head, so he didn't see his old man's indifferent expression at this time, so he could only hear the tone that was still not salty, and he couldn't figure out what it meant, whether Old Man Liang was angry or not?

Qi Yu's mind turned a few times in his heart, but in the end, he still stubbornly said: "Yes, this is what my father meant, although he has not made an order, he still hopes that General Liang can nod and promise." ”

The atmosphere in the room was already a little depressed at this time, but except for Qi Yu, who was already sweating on his forehead, Jiang Chao's face was not very good.

But Old Man Liang and Old Steward Chengping are now diametrically opposed and unhurried, although Old Man Liang's expression is indifferent, but that calm attitude is extremely more than enough, after a faint glance at Qi Yu, he reached out and picked up the white jade cup on the side.

"Concubine Meng's will, how can others influence it? Your Majesty is really joking, and besides, I am an old man who has been disarmed and returned to the field, I have no power and no power, how can I meddle in the affairs of the court, and I also asked the third prince to go back and confess to Your Majesty, saying that I am old and useless, and I can't help much. ”

"General Liang........."

"Chengping, send off guests." Old Man Liang didn't wait for Qi Yu to say anything more, and after softly saying a word to the old steward of Chengping, he didn't look at Qi Yu anymore.

And the old steward of Chengping also walked to Qi Yu and Jiang Chao's side at this time, and with a "please" gesture, he motioned for them to get up and go out by themselves.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, but after all, he was not waiting for an idler, but after a little stiffness, the person had already stood up, "Old General Liang is unwell and needs to recuperate, so let's leave first and come back to see you another day." ”

After speaking, it was another salute, the etiquette was extremely thoughtful, and if it was paired with the warm smile on it, it was rarely disliked.

But the person Qi Yu met was Old Man Liang, so no matter how polite he looked at this time, it was already too late.

The old steward of Chengping turned sideways and took Qi Yu and Jiang Chao, who had been silent, out of Mingcheng Hall, and after seeing that their figures had disappeared from sight, the old steward of Chengping turned around and walked into the house.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

As soon as Qi Yu and Jiang Chao left the warm pavilion, Old Man Liang sat up from the mattress covered with black Fengyu Tuanfu, his face cold.

"'His' idea is really good, I don't want to sacrifice any bit of filial piety, but I want me to carry the infamy of misleading the country, this hand with the first emperor, but it is really better than the blue!"

Xiyin governs the country with filial piety, so the word "filial piety" not only has a significant role in the career assessment of hundreds of officials, but even the emperor of a country, if there is any notoriety in this word "filial piety", it is an impact that cannot be underestimated. If it is serious, it can even threaten the stability of its throne, after all, in the name of eliminating the unfilial piety, benevolence and injustice, and the people who raise the flag against the flag are really like crossing the river, there are countless people.

Therefore, even when Emperor Cheng received Qi Yu's survey report outside Yingchuan City, he was already very displeased, but he still didn't dare to go to Linyang Palace directly.

Instead, he sent someone to let Qi Yu and Old Man Liang test the water here, to see if he could move him to discuss the matter with Concubine Meng.

But Old Man Liang not only has great prestige in the army, but also stabilizes the people's hearts like Optimus Prime in Xiyin.

Therefore, even Emperor Cheng didn't dare to rashly press him with the holy decree, let alone Qi Yu, once he arrived in front of Old Man Liang, it was very difficult for him to even look directly at him, let alone to convince the other party.

Emperor Cheng obviously wants to put all the responsibility on others, even if that person is his so-called beloved son, it is generally the same, anyway, even if he tears his face, then Emperor Cheng still has leeway.

After all, it is not a face-to-face war with Old Man Liang, so the room left by Emperor Cheng for himself will naturally allow him to have other arguments, and as for Qi Yu, a child is not sensible, can't he prevaricate?

"It's a good calculation, but it's in the wrong place."

Old Man Liang's eyes were indifferent and his expression was cold, but because he was seriously injured, his face was not ordinary pale and tired.

At this time, when it was reflected in the bright sunlight, it showed the old and fragile that it had not been in the past, and after the old steward Chengping was silent, he still asked in a low voice: "Or the next time His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Jiang Gongzi come again, the old lady will not see it." ”

Old Man Liang sighed, "How can you not see it if you don't want to, after all, the third prince now holds the imperial power in his hands, and we can't make it too obvious." ”

To put it mildly, Old Man Liang doesn't like to become an emperor, but what he doesn't like even more is Qi Huai, so the current situation of Xiyin is not good, but it is not too bad.

What's more, Concubine Meng is still sitting in Jian'an, so even if Old Man Liang is disappointed with the current situation of the imperial court, it has not yet reached the point of despair, and in such a situation, his old man does not want to really get into trouble with Emperor Cheng.

After all, he can travel the world, but what should the Liang family do?

Xiyin's society and the people of Xiyin, can he really let go?

Old Man Liang sighed again, and then said to the old steward of Chengping: "Forget it, don't think about these things yet, my body is getting more and more uncomfortable, and I can't say how long I can last, and I don't want to think about these things that can't be solved for the time being." Chengping, I'm very tired now, you can let someone inform Mo Ke and Yong'er in a while, let them use it in the Lotus Pavilion for dinner, and don't have to come over to say goodbye. ”

With that, Old Man Liang lay back.

The voice was also full of tiredness, and the old steward Chengping silently waited for the old man Liang to fall asleep, and then went out to explain the matter.

Today's Mingcheng Hall, after Qi Yu and Jiang Chao left, was quiet for a long time, and when the people sent to the Lotus Pavilion by the old steward of Chengping saw Liang Cheng and conveyed the words, the Lotus Pavilion was also quiet for a while.

"It seems that I still underestimate the two of them, even if I have preset so many answers, I know that they are not idle people, but they can still influence my grandfather so far? is really careless, underestimating Qi Yu and Jiang Chao. ”

After Liang Cheng left the messenger from Mingcheng Hall, she said with a gloomy face, and the Qingyu and Nian Xiang on the side were silent for a while, and they didn't know what to say to comfort Liang Cheng for a long time.

But fortunately, there was still Mother Qiu, so when the atmosphere was dead and silent for a while, she smiled and said to Liang Ming: "Miss, this is just a joke, not to mention what kind of hero the old lady is, how can others influence it at will, just say that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is just a child who has not even arrived with a weak crown, if you want to say that he can influence the old lady, the old slave doesn't believe it." ”

Liang Cheng looked at Mother Qiu's smile and was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked Mother Qiu: "Then according to what Mother said, what is Grandfather doing so well?" ”

Mother Qiu smiled lightly, "Miss, this is a blind eye, has Miss forgotten why His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Jiang Gongzi came to Yingchuan this time?" ”

Liang Cheng shook her head and said, "Naturally, I haven't forgotten, didn't the two of them come to Yingchuan after the holy decree." ”

"That's right." Mother Qiu looked at Liang Cheng and said word by word: "Of course, the person who can influence the old lady to come here cannot be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but His Majesty the Emperor who is far away in Jian'an." ”

Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment.

Yes, how could she forget about this, Qi Yu and Jiang Chao came to Yingchuan on the orders of Emperor Cheng, although at this time she didn't know very well, what Emperor Cheng's real purpose was for Qi Yu to come here, but anyway, it wouldn't be as he said, just to visit his grandfather.

The real reason why Qi Yu can provoke his grandfather so much today is probably the reason why Emperor Cheng let Qi Yu come here.

It's really funny, originally she thought that if she left Jian'an, she would be able to leave the center of the swamp whirlpool, but who knew that after going around and around, they actually returned to the original point.

Although Liang Cheng still doesn't know, whether it was the old man Liang who chose to come back, or Emperor Cheng who was aggressive and unwilling to let go of their Liang family.

But no matter what, today's incident just proves Liang Cheng's previous conjecture once again, in this Yingchuan, there is a major event, which is not weaker than the storms in Jian'an.

I'm afraid the things they will have to face in the future will not be simple.

Liang Cheng's expression at this time was already a little bad, Qingqian and Nianxiang saw this, and hurriedly pulled Qiu's mother's sleeve again, hoping that she would comfort Liang Cheng.

But Qiu's mother also paused, and then smiled at Liang Cheng again.
