Chapter Seventy-Four: Exchange (1st Update)
Seeing that he seemed to want to mention those past events again, Cao Zhen only felt that the person in front of him was like a life talisman that he couldn't give up in his life. Looking at his back, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and knelt down with a puff, "It's the minister who has trespassed, Your Highness forgives you." ”
"What is the Overseer doing?" Feng Xiuyun turned around slowly, looking down at the man in front of him with a bowed head arrogantly, a good-looking contemptuous smile appeared on his lips, the beauty was amazing, "It's cold on the ground, the overseer should get up quickly." ”
He was still cold, and Cao Zhen, who was unapproachable, shuddered for a moment, then stood up and bowed down, "I have been bothering His Highness for a long time, and the minister is leaving." ”
Feng Xiuyun was silent, just nodded, and still watched him get up and go out in embarrassment, just like when he came, hurriedly coming and leaving, leaving only a cup of tea that had lost its temperature, without a trace.
Out of the Rui Wang's Mansion, Cao Zhen got back into the carriage and tossed back and forth all the way for a whole day, but he really didn't get anything.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would use that thing as a handle, unwilling and disdainful, which made Cao Zhen's already wrinkled old face portray a little hatred.
The carriage was not moving fast, and it was walking all the way forward in the dusk twilight on the avenue of Jingshi, and it was still some distance away from the light guard, but suddenly a "whoosh" in the carriage was shot into a long arrow of Yanling.
The coachman who drove the horse immediately reined in the horse, and the carriage jolted, but the people inside still looked the same, slowly opened and closed their eyes slightly and whispered, "Stop and do something, don't go." ”
The coachman turned sideways, and seeing that the overseer had no intention of delving into it, he raised his whip and struck the horse, and then the carriage slowly set off again.
Cao Zhen looked at a note tied to the end of the long arrow of the wild goose, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and finally a treacherous smile fell, and he probed it a little and opened it.
It was late at night, and when everything was quiet, a black figure suddenly appeared in King Heng's mansion, and he quickly disappeared into a separate room. There was no light in the room, only King Heng looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and the white moonlight reflected the soft white light through the snow and spread flat on his face, outlining a delicate outline and his unconcealed ambition.
Cao Zhen removed the black cloth covering his face before he raised his hand to say goodbye, but King Heng slightly rejected this set of pretentious intimacy, "Lord Cao is really punctual, since today's visit is a private service, we still don't waste time on such a false courtesy." ”
Cao Zhen nodded unceremoniously, "The old minister thanked His Highness for not being inhibited, but I don't know what is the important matter for His Highness to send this letter today?" ”
King Heng smiled slightly, then took a deep breath and turned around, "It's really strange for the Overseer to ask this, isn't this king not clear enough in black and white?" Naturally, it was for Princess Rui's business. ”
"Princess Rui has passed away, and the old minister is really puzzled." Cao Zhen saw King Heng make a gesture of please, and sat down on a rough wooden bench under the window unceremoniously.
The house was an abandoned house, and there was no brazier for heating. Cao Zhen came in a night suit, and couldn't help but shiver as soon as he sat down.
King Heng just stood and watched quietly for a while, and then he hid in the shadows behind him, and after a while, he took a fur coat and handed it over, and said softly: "The overseer is old, don't suffer the cold here with this king." ”
Cao Zhen put it on, and looked at the seemingly distant prince in front of him without leaving a trace, not knowing what kind of calculation he was making.
King Heng was also amused when he saw him pondering like this, and sat down opposite him before he said: "The overseer is a popular man in front of his father, and now that the southern barbarians are rising, there is a great tendency to make a comeback." There was General Xie on the southern border, but it was the King of Jin who was trapped in it and could not show his skills, not to mention personal friendships, just for the people of the world in Daning, and this time it could only be the King of Jin who led the troops to pacify the war.
But you also know that the queen mother's father has been in a state of panic, and then the matter of the Rong nobles implicated the king of Jin, so that he can only be in a hurry in the south now, so that I, a person who has never paid attention to the affairs of the court, feel a little anxious, but this king is just a scholar, and he rashly mentioned it in front of his father, I am afraid that it will backfire, I don't know if the overseer is willing to help this king? ”
Cao Zhen listened to it funny, and then said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the old minister to do anything about the king of Jin, not to mention that the old minister doesn't understand why you want to transfer the king of Jin back to Beijing?" ”
Seeing that he picked it transparently, King Heng pretended to be confused, "Huh? "It's strange what the overseer said, King Jin is an important minister in the court, shouldn't he return to Beijing after his success?" ”
When Cao Zhen heard this, the eyes of the yin owl stared directly at King Heng, and a little chill shot into King Heng's heart, "Since Your Highness is insincere, then the old minister will retire." ”
Although he wanted to leave, he hugged his big and couldn't see the intention of leaving at all.
King Heng smiled, lowered his voice a little and said: "Lord Cao doesn't have to care about the intentions of this king, since this king has opened this mouth, he naturally has conditions that will not let you suffer." ”
The two looked at each other for a while before he continued: "This king heard that the brothers of the light clothes guard have worked hard to investigate, but the clues that are easy to get can't get into the eyes of the fifth brother. Originally, the king shouldn't have opened his mouth about this, but he just thought that Shenwei had been doing evil for many years, and the imperial court finally found a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop, but it was a pity that the fighter plane was delayed because of the fifth brother's hesitation. However, this king is an outsider, and I don't know if this hearsay is credible. ”
This is not a temptation, Cao Zhen didn't know what hole cards he still had in his hand, and just wanted to play haha to fool the past, but King Heng added: "Take pity on my fifth brother, saying that he married Prime Minister Bai's favorite little lady, but the result is really embarrassing." ”
"The person has passed away, and I think His Royal Highness King Rui will soon be relieved."
"Oh?" King Heng looked at Cao Zhen with a mocking expression, and said mockingly: "The overseer really thinks that the child is dead? ”
Although Cao Zhen is not sure, he does not dare to deny that this child has been hung with a dead character in the royal jade plate, which is dead and dead, and living must be regarded as dead.
Everyone in the court knows this truth, only when you are alive can you turn the tables around, and if you die, you will lose the value of use. It's like the emperor will never turn over the plate of Xiaogu City, the people of the light guards, no matter how loyal and capable, if they die, they will no longer be the people of the light guards, even if they are still alive, they will no longer be the identity of the light guards, no matter how many people they are lucky enough to survive, no matter how much torment they have suffered in their hearts, it will not be the original person if they appear again.
