"Badass! Young! Xiao Xiao shouted unhappily. This was brought to her by her grandmother, and her grandmother also said that she should take good care of it and not throw it away

Gong Yuchen held the jade pendant in his hand and squinted slightly, "This is yours?" ”

He snorted twice to express his dissatisfaction. Gong Yuchen frowned, "Where do you seem to have seen it?" ”

"Me!" The untimely dissatisfaction is authentic.

Gong Yuchen called the woman in black again, "This jade pendant is on her?" "There are also a lot of accessories on Xiaoyao's body, and all of them are high-quality products, but they are prepared by the people of the Water Pavilion. The woman in black glanced at it and nodded, "Back to the pavilion master, this jade pendant has always been hanging on the neck of the young lady." The little lady refused to take it off, and her subordinates didn't care. ”

Gong Yuchen nodded, stood up with the jade pendant and said, "Take good care of him, there is something wrong with this seat." ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Seeing that Gong Yuchen was about to leave with the jade pendant, he was angry, "Big villain, Yuyu!" ”

Gong Yuchen looked back and smiled, raised the jade pendant in his hand and said, "After eating and drinking this seat for so many days, this should be regarded as food money." "People are small and weak, and they can only watch Gong Yuchen take his jade pendant and walk away.

"Sure enough, it's not a good bastard!"

The black-clothed woman next to her had a black line on her face, and with the usual temper of the pavilion master, she now treated this little girl like a saint. Also, What kind of egg is a good egg?

The news that the people of Zixiao Hall got was not accurate, and the young man was actually in Jinling City. It's just that the place where the young man is located is in a secret room under the ground of a mansion in Jinling City. No matter how powerful Feifei is, it is impossible to find his little master through the thick underground, heavy stone gates, and winding walkways.

Through the secret doors one by one, Gong Yuchen appeared in a simple and elegant study.

"Pavilion Master." In the study, someone was already waiting.

Gong Yuchen casually threw the jade pendant in his hand to him, and said in a deep voice: "Go and check, what is the origin of this jade pendant." ”

The man in black hurriedly took the jade pendant in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said with some doubts: "Pavilion Master, is there anything wrong with this jade pendant?" "The quality of the jade pendant is good, and the carving is also good. There doesn't seem to be anything else special. Gong Yuchen frowned and said, "This seat feels that this jade pendant is a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it for a while." ”

"The subordinates understand, go and do it immediately." Although I don't know what the pavilion master is doing to check the origin of a jade pendant, since the pavilion master has instructed them to do it, they naturally have to do it.

"Kuài." Gong Yuchen said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Three days later, Youzhou Wei went to the next city. The last line of defense of Jinling was breached, and all the defenders retreated to the imperial city of Jinling. Hundreds of thousands of Youzhou troops and Chenzhou soldiers came to the city and pointed directly at the imperial city.

In Jinling City, the powerful ministers were panicked. Some people swear to defend the city to the death, and some people secretly plan to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. The entire imperial city was shrouded in a gloomy and impetuous atmosphere.

Spring Breeze Pavilion

Zi Yan sat on the side of the beauty on the second floor, looking down at the noisy lobby downstairs, with a mocking smile on her lips. Even at this time, these princes and grandsons still don't forget to drink and have fun. Even if someone else is on the dragon chair one day, they may not be affected. Loyal to the country? What does it have to do with them?

Zi Yan stood up and strolled towards her room.

In the room, a man dressed in the most common servant clothes in the Spring Breeze Pavilion was standing in the room waiting for her. Zi Yan calmly asked, "What does the county lord command?" The man turned to look at Zi Yan and said in a deep voice: "Most of the people in the Water Pavilion should have gathered in Jinling City by now, so you must be careful." ”

Zi Yan nodded and said with a smile: "I know, please rest assured." In addition, the current whereabouts of the Pavilion Master of the Water Pavilion have also been found out, and he should be in the Right Servant Lang Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. ”

The man frowned, "It's so easy to find out?" Will there be fraud? "They used Ah Bai to follow Gong Qi before, and they could only be sure that the other party had entered Jinling City. If you follow too closely and are discovered, the gains outweigh the losses. But I didn't expect Zi Yan to be able to find out so quickly.

Zi Yan shook her head and said: "Gong Yuchen didn't hide it this time, he entered the palace as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites before and saw Xiao Qianye, and was seen by our people. "Naturally, their people will not spy on a little-known waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but Xiao Qianye is the target of their key monitoring. Gong Yuchen still stared at a face that was completely different from the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but exactly the same as Nian Yuan, and entered the palace, obviously not planning to hide his identity at all.

"So, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is Gong Yuchen's person?" The man said in a deep voice. The leader of a Jianghu organization can actually raise his hand to the second and third rank of the imperial court and let them be used by him, this water pavilion is really not simple.

Speaking of this, Zi Yan also sighed. Said: "If it weren't for this right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, we wouldn't have thought of checking these things." The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was not bought by Gong Yuchen, he was a person from the Water Pavilion himself. Otherwise, with his identity as a poor student, how could he climb to the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites at the age of thirty-seven or eighteen. And there are not a few people with the same identity as him, but among them, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the most outstanding. ”

Hearing this, the man couldn't help frowning. No wonder Gongzi is so jealous of this Water Pavilion Master, if they don't find out about these things, even if Gongzi kills the Water Pavilion Master in the end, those chess pieces he hides in the court are afraid that they will cause a lot of damage, "Is there a detailed list?" ”

Zi Yan shook her head, "There are a few suspicions, but it still takes time to confirm." "It takes a lot of time to verify these things, and in just a few days, Zi Yan has been able to sift through a few questionable lists, which is already very good.

"Then it's hard girl, do your best." The man said.

Zi Yan smiled lightly: "Please rest assured that the county lord and Wei Gongzi are relieved." In addition, these days, the major families in Jinling are secretly making small moves, and they also ask the county lord and Wei Gongzi to be careful. ”

The man in black nodded and said, "I will tell the county lord and the son." ”

Zi Yan walked to the side of the dressing mirror, reached out and flicked it behind the bronze mirror on the table a few times, and with a soft click, the dressing mirror opened to the side, revealing the empty wall. Zi Yan squatted down and knocked lightly on the wall a few times, the wall was opened into a small space, Zi Yan took out a few letters sealed with fire paint from it and handed them to him: "Nothing else, you go back first." ”

The man in black didn't look at it, and directly put the letter into the pen and said www.biquge.info, "Farewell, girl, be careful." Zi Yan nodded with a smile, "Slow down and don't send it." ”

After the man left, a little girl came in and said, "Girl, the third son of the Zhu family is here." ”

Zi Yan smiled, "Zhu San? The one from the Gaoyi Marquis' Mansion? ”

The little girl nodded and said, "Zhu Sangongzi asked to see the girl by name." In the past few years, because of Lou Xinyue's retirement, Zi Yan has become a new generation of famous prostitutes in Jinling City. Although younger and more beautiful women have continued to emerge in the past few years, because of the presence of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and Zi Yan has someone who can be regarded as the real master of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Zi Yan's reputation has not been suppressed by those juniors. It is still the object of the sons and daughters of famous families in Jinling City.

Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled: "It's okay, I can still come to Chunfeng Pavilion at this time, and I am full of confidence if I want to come to Gaoyihou Mansion." Please come up to Zhu Sangongzi. ”

"Yes, girl." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, and turned away.

In the imperial study, there was a group of people with different expressions. Xiao Qianye sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below without speaking. The people in the hall were obviously divided into two sides, and on one side were a group of civil officials headed by Han Min and Zhou Xiang. On the other side, it is relatively complicated, led by the first spring of the Hubei Kingdom who had just lost the battle a few days ago, and then there was a young man who no one knew, and the person sitting under the young man knew Nangong Huai, who escaped from Yundu a few days ago. And then there are some generals and the like.

If it weren't for the special situation now, Eguo Gong would have been shameless by these civil officials these days. Not to mention being able to sit down with them like this. As for Nangong Huai, from the very beginning, Xiao Qianye wanted to release Nangong Huai from the prison, but in fact, many people disagreed. After that, Nangong Huai didn't have any results at all except for a little above at the beginning, and even escaped in the end. In the eyes of these civil officials, they even felt that Nangong Huai deserved to be imprisoned in the prison at the beginning, and he was really just a hypocrite who had a false reputation!

Under such circumstances, the scene of the meeting between the two sides is naturally not harmonious.

Xiao Qianye glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Okay, no matter what happened before, now that Yan rebels are coming to the city, what you should think about is how to join forces to fight the enemy, instead of worrying about the trivial matters in the past." Got it? After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xiang and the others still said in unison, although they were pedantic, they were not completely ignorant of the importance and disregard of the overall situation. No matter how dissatisfied you are with these people, you have to wait until the rebels are repulsed. It's just that......

"Your Majesty, I don't know who this son is?" Han Min stared at Gong Yuchen and asked, he always felt that Gong Yuchen's appearance was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. It's no wonder that Han Min has a bad memory, he was exiled by the first emperor for decades, and he only saw Nianyuan once when he first came back. Soon after, Nian Yuan left Jinling and went north. Moreover, although the two have similar appearances, their demeanor and temperament are too different, I am afraid that even the monks of the Great Bright Temple dare not insist that this is a person.

Gong Yuchen said with a smile: "Down, Gong Yuchen." ”

Everyone was stunned, and the vast majority of people had never heard of this name at all. After all, no matter how powerful the Water Pavilion is, it is only a Jianghu organization, and the identity of the owner of the Water Pavilion is not something that ordinary people can know. Xiao Qianye, Han Min and others naturally knew, but in the same way, Han Min and Zhou Xiang also knew that Xiao Qianye had been pitted by Gong Yuchen several times. Such people... Can you believe it?

The two old men both looked at Xiao Qianye with suspicion. Xiao Qianye tilted his head and avoided it. It's not that he doesn't know that Gong Yuchen is not credible, but now at this time, he has no other way than to believe in Gong Yuchen. Sighing, Xiao Qianye said: "The previous things have been written off, and I hope that now you can work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Qianye nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The matter of defending the city will be handed over to the Duke of Eguohe... Chu Guogong is gone. After a pause, Xiao Qianye still chose such a title to call Nangong Huai. Although he also felt that he was in a hurry, if he could really defeat King Yan, even if he really made him a prince again, it would be nothing.

E Guogong nodded and said in a deep voice: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

Xiao Qianye said: "The affairs in the army are left to the two of you, rest assured, but I don't know what you have to say about the affairs in the city?" ”

Gong Yuchen smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing to guard against now is not the Youzhou army outside the city, but some people in the city." Xiao Qianye squinted slightly, "What do you say?" Xiao Qianye said with a smile: "Everyone here is naturally loyal and patriotic. But... But it can't be otherwise, there are more wall grasses in this imperial city, right? Now that the Youzhou army is pressing, if someone ......"

Gong Yuchen's words were not finished, but his meaning was indeed understood by everyone. Xiao Qianye's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and nodded: "The palace master is right! At this point, he was not worried about Gong Yuchen sowing discord, because he knew in his heart that there were only a few people with such thoughts in Jinling City.

"What can the palace master do?"

Gong Yuchen stroked his palms and smiled: "It's very simple, please ask Your Majesty to recruit the heads of various families and the children of the mature people into the palace to live in the palace for a while." ”

"Does the palace master want to put these people under house arrest?" Zhou Xiang frowned, he was not very eye-catching to people in the rivers and lakes like Gong Yuchen, as well as the trickery of people in the rivers and lakes. Gong Yuchen smiled: "It's just an expedient measure." If we can defend the imperial city, these people will be fine, but what if we are guarding the city in the city, but someone in the city opens the door and invites the thief to enter? In case the city gate is lost, they can retreat to the palace, and these people will live in the palace for the time being, so that they will not die in the rebellion, right? ”

Zhou Xiang was silent and did not speak, although he didn't like Gong Yuchen's approach, but he couldn't think of a better way. Once King Yan breaks through the city, people like him and Han Min will definitely die. In this case, instead of watching those people betray them to seek their own glory and wealth, it is better to bury His Majesty's country together when the time comes!

"What do you think?" Gong Yuchen smiled and looked sideways at Duke E who was sitting on his right hand.

The Duke of E Guogong looked silent, and said in a deep voice: "The old man has no opinion. ”

"Eguo Gong really understands the righteousness." Gong Yuchen said with a smile.

E Guogong glanced at Gong Yuchen with a somewhat complicated look, and Gong Yuchen smiled calmly and didn't care about his gaze.

Duke E knows more about Gong Yuchen than Xiao Qianye and others. The Duchess of Eguo practiced Buddhism and thought that her husband had killed too much in his life, so she often went to pray for her husband's blessings. The Duke and his wife of Eguo have a deep affection for the flounder, and when they accompanied them to the Great Guangming Temple, they naturally saw Nianyuan a few times.

In addition, the grudge between Gong Yuchen and Wei Junmo is also slightly heard of. As for the person who provided the friendship, it was naturally Jian Qiuyang, who was ordered to escort the Duke of Eguo out of Chenzhou. Talking about Gong Yuchen's identity and linking it to Nianyuan, the Duke of Eguo was only full of defense and suspicion in the face of Gong Yuchen. It's just that... Glancing at Xiao Qianye, whose eyes were bloodshot and excited, on the dragon chair, E Guogong had to sigh secretly in his heart.

Out of the imperial study, Gong Yuchen happily caught up with the Duke of Eguo. Compared with the courtiers in a solemn mood, Gong Yuchen's mood can be said to be relaxed and freehand. Gong Yuchen deeply felt that his choice to go to King Yan's side was simply a wrong decision. If he hadn't pitted Xiao Qianye at the beginning, how convenient it would have been to stay with Xiao Qianye directly to help him cut the domain. Xiao Qianye is so easy to fool, a huge imperial support can be called upon by him. Where will you work hard by King Yan's side and give up halfway?

But this is just thinking about it, if I stayed by Xiao Qianye's side at the beginning, I am afraid that it will not be too smooth. Those old immortals in the court don't look down on people from the rivers and lakes like him of unknown origin, and it's better to be a staff member in secret, and they want to stand in the court openly, unless he slaughters those old immortals.

"Duke Eguo, stay."

Eguo Gong turned his head, glanced at Gong Yuchen lightly, and said, "What advice does Master Nianyuan have?" ”

Gong Yuchen showed a wicked smile on his handsome face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Eguo Gong has good eyesight." His Majesty is right, now we are all people in the same boat, why should the prince be so guarded against him. Under just... There are some things I just want to give to Guogong. As he spoke, Gong Yuchen took out a roll of paper and handed it over. E Guogong glanced at him suspiciously, but still took it and opened it to take a look, and was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he said: "The master is so talented. "It was a volume of defense drawings of the Imperial City of Jinling, and the value of this drawing could be seen at a glance with the eyesight of the Duke of E.

Gong Yuchen didn't hide it, and sighed: "This originally... It's going to be used by His Royal Highness King Yan. It's a pity that I've been working hard for two years... ”

Eguo said: "The fickle person will have no faith, can the palace master know?" ”

Gong Yuchen smiled, "I believe that Guogong is a smart person." Besides, even if His Majesty knew my identity, do you think he would fall out with me now? E Guogong glanced at him deeply, said goodbye and turned to leave.

Gong Yuchen smiled and watched the Duke of E go in the direction of the inner palace, presumably to see the queen. There was a sneer on his face, Xinyi? What's that?

"Do you really think Jinling can still hold it?" Behind him, Nangong Huai asked in a deep voice.

Gong Yuchen said with a smile: "Why should the Duke of Chu think so much, now in addition to this Jinling, where is there a place for you in the world?" As soon as you leave Jinling, you will immediately be hunted down by the people of Zixiao Palace. Oh... Maybe it's not very safe in Jinling City, after all, the killers of Zixiao Hall are pervasive. So, it's safest to stay in the military, isn't it? ”

A trace of anger flashed in Nangong Huai's eyes, I was made to have no place for it, and it wasn't because of you!

Gong Yuchen smiled wildly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, as long as you and I can leave Jinling this time, I guarantee that the people of Zixiao Hall will not be able to find you in their lifetime." How is it? ”

Nangong Huai snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He didn't believe in Gong Yuchen, but like Xiao Qianye, he had no other choice but to believe in Gong Yuchen.

T
