"Not dead?"

Min Rui stared at Cheng Wanli's improperly colored face, his expression changed suddenly, and he felt that everything was reversed incredible.

Although he was inexplicably excited when he heard the news that Leng Qingtang was still alive, he was still shocked by Cheng Qianhu's treacherous face, and his scalp tingled.

"It's not ...... dead"

Cheng Wanli and Min Rui looked at each other, and the fog at the bottom of their gray eyes was clear, and every inch was icy.

"But... But Lord Leng was in southern Xinjiang at that time, when and where did you meet? ”

Soon, another question rose in Min Rui's heart.

Yes, even if it is estimated by the most rough calculation, when Cheng Qianhu received the holy decree to lead the team to go to sea by boat, Leng Qingtang was still in southern Xinjiang, and the two phases should not have a chance to meet.

Looking at Cheng Wanli again, the complexion that does not change color and does not beat is the most evil, so that people dare not look at it directly:

"It's not up to you, old prince, to take care of this, the humble official once said that the Dongchang fleet deviated from the course when it encountered wind and waves at sea, and there is still a ship that has not been found. What's more, there are many ways to exchange news between East Factory, so why do you have to meet each other? ”

Min Rui was choked by the other party with a "boom" of blood straight to his head, he couldn't care about it, his five fingers slowly loosened Qianhu's clothes, and lowered his voice:

"Are you serious, Lord Leng Ji Ren Tianxiang, is it true that he was not killed?"

Cheng Wanli's smile is hard, not very good-looking:

"When I see him, the prince will no longer have doubts. However, there was a trouble at this moment, the eunuch who announced the decree had a secret decree and was determined to take the lives of the prince's entire family before returning to Beijing. The overseer advised the prince not to do two things, and Mo Ruo was the first to strike. ”

Min Rui was frightened for a while, staggered a few steps with the vermilion lacquer guardrail in his hand, thought about it in silence, and couldn't help but hesitate:

"My Min family has always been loyal to the saint, and my daughter is still in the palace, why ......?"

Cheng Wanli approached him and whispered in his ear:

"The Governor knows that you will be in a dilemma when you think about your family, and there is a clever plan to help the prince at the moment. Without further ado, let's go back to the Shui Shi Camp first, so as not to be suspicious of the surnamed Liu. ”

……

East Shimizu Division Battalion.

In the main hall, the tables are neatly arranged, the jade delicacies are delicacies, and the dishes are rich and the wine is fragrant.

At the three tables, the eunuchs and guards from the capital were all red-faced and full of oil.

On the guest of honor, Min Rui and Liu Gonggong pushed the cup to change the lamp, while Cheng Qianhu and the three heads of the block silently accompanied them and bowed their heads silently, and their chopsticks didn't move a few times.

"Father-in-law Liu, the barracks are no better than the outside, there is no orchestral singing and dancing, you will just do it.

You led your team all the way south to the frontier, and it was really hard to turn and turn back. This king has specially prepared a small gift, and has ordered someone to transport it to his father-in-law's ship, and I hope you will say a few good words in front of the saint when I return to Beijing. ”

Coaxed Eunuch Liu to drink another glass of wine, Min Rui took advantage of the attendant's filling of his wine glass, leaned into the eunuch's ear, and whispered.

In my heart, the boss is not happy.

Thinking about his dignified first-class knighthood, how beautiful the old emperor was during his reign. Now that the transit of time has been reduced to such a humble point that he rushes to curry favor with gold and silver to curry favor with a rootless man.

Ay!

Min Rui is not unwilling to trust Dongchang, but he has many worries in front of him, he does not want to turn his face with the imperial court, and he will definitely seize the opportunity to leave himself a way back.

Cheng Wanli sat at the table for a long time without saying a word, seemingly completely ignoring Min Rui's vacillating approach.

Father-in-law Liu was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The thin gift of this country's mansion must be unusual, Hengzhi Min Rui is a dying person, and the emperor can still get some yellow and white things for nothing when he returns to Beijing after finishing the road, how can the new emperor have the leisure to investigate whether the next person has taken the benefit of the dead?

Thinking of beautiful things in his heart, the eunuch's eyebrows danced, and his mouth was still polite:

"Oh, Grandpa Guo, you are so polite. Don't worry, you are a first-class prince of the imperial court, and your daughter is now the ancestor of the concubine in the palace, and the new emperor will naturally not treat your Min family badly when he ascends the throne.

When our family left the palace, the new emperor had not yet been honored at the ceremony, so he specially ordered our family to bring a jar of century-old wine, which was a reward for you to lead the Dongqing Division to attack Anguo and win. Come on, look at the wine. ”

Min Rui's heart jumped a few beats suddenly, and his buttocks pressed on the chair surface, like sitting on pins and needles.

The sweaty head looked at Cheng Wanli, the man still had his eyelashes lowered, and he was like a silent iron tower, just like the heads of the East Factory.

Following Min Rui's line of sight, Eunuch Liu also noticed the abnormality of the Dongchang people, and gradually raised his sparse eyebrows and asked Cheng Wanli:

"Hey, I said Lord Qianhu, what's the matter, isn't this banquet to your liking? From the time you sat down to the present, we haven't used a few of you to move chopsticks. ”

Cheng Wanli's posture did not waver, and a sentence came faintly, floating without roots:

"I want to taste the wine that I have been given."

"Goshi? Oh, yes, now that King Chen has inherited the throne, that wine is indeed a royal gift......"

Eunuch Liu pinched Lan fingers and scratched the corners of his mouth, smiling flatteringly:

"It's a pity, that wine was given by the Holy God to the grandfather and the son. On the day of the opening of the Kunhuang Underground Palace, you have made contributions to the East Factory, not to mention the wine, even if it is a beauty, Long live the Lord is willing to reward thousands of households, hehehe......"

"It's better to reward another overseer than to reward anything."

The sound of despair has not yet fallen, and the four are already silent.

Several glances, either sinister or stunned, immediately focused on Cheng Qianhu's half-lowered and obscure face, and even Min Rui on the main seat had an embarrassed expression, sweating for Lao Cheng's bold and outspoken words.

Eunuch Liu's face turned pale, his stunned face immediately turned into a smile, and he said without being in a hurry or annoyance:

"Hehe, Lord Qianhu has a point. Dongchang is the confidential place of the imperial court, since it cannot be left without an owner for a day, I believe that there will be arrangements in the near future. ”

"Hey......

Cheng Wanli put his hands on his knees and laughed a few times, which made others feel creepy, and his eyes were facing a certain point on the table:

"There is no need to deliberately arrange it at all, Gonggong Liu, you have won the favor of the new emperor, according to the humble position, the new overseer of the East Factory is none other than Gonggong Liu......"

"Oh, don't make fun of the thousands of households, if you want to come to the palace with a lot of talents, what kind of ...... is our family?"

Liu Gonggong was modest in his mouth, but his heart was so beautiful that he kept spitting bubbles, twisting his body on the chair on one wall, holding a pink handkerchief on the other wall, covering his mouth and snickering:

"Hehe, if you want to say that the affairs of the East Factory are not very difficult, long live the Lord really trusts our family, our family will never shirk, how can they serve the court, hehe, at that time, we will have to rely on the help of thousands of adults."

Gonggong Liu took down the veil, crooked his mouth and smiled and slightly bowed his hand to the big man who was as cold as a mountain over there, but at this moment he caught a glimpse of the complicated face of Min Guogong on the main seat.

The main hall was once again eerily quiet, with different faces on everyone's faces, and the oppressive and dreary atmosphere always seemed out of place compared to the lavish feasts full of tables.

Suddenly realizing that he had lost his words, Gonggong Liu fell back, and his expression became more and more unnatural.

He said that the wind was the rain, and he howled in public:

"Hey, if you want to talk about ability, no one is as good as Lord Lengdu. Let's talk about it, so if a person wants to look good, and he has to learn and learn, how did he encounter a shipwreck, it's really jealous of talent......"

A young eunuch walked into the main hall, holding a delicately shaped long-necked wine jug with flowers and emeralds.

Father-in-law Liu can be regarded as seeing the savior, and immediately wiped his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief, instead of dipping his eyes in tears.

"Quick, hurry up and bring the royal wine."

He was half-up, and kept swaggering at the little eunuch.

The little eunuch came to the table, poured a full cup, and then stepped aside.

"The wine has been warmed, Grandpa Guo, please."

Gonggong Liu lowered his eyes and looked at Min Rui, his gaze was aggressive.

Min Rui stared blankly at the clear and beautiful light and shadow in the five-color cup, and slowly stood up, his face falling into pale little by little.

It looks like this is a cup of poisoned wine!

At this time, Eunuch Liu beckoned Min Jun, who was accompanying him, to drink with a cup.

"Shizi, this is the best 'glass drunk', it is a fine wine that the emperor did not take out to taste during the state banquet, Shizi quickly taste it!"

Min Jun was young and didn't know the depths, and when he squinted and smelled the aroma of the wine, he hurriedly raised his glass without saying a word.

"Wait!"

Cheng Wanli suddenly shouted to stop him in time, and then his burly body stood up from the chair, and his gray eyes turned to Eunuch Liu.

"Gonggong Liu, you will soon become the next overseer of the East Factory, why should you take a sip of this imperial wine?"

"Don't, don't laugh......"

Eunuch Liu's face was surprisingly panicked, and layers of hot sweat broke out again on his forehead, and he waved his hand backwards again and again:

"This, this wine was rewarded by the Lord Long Live to the Min family, how dare our family drink it?"

"What would you not dare? The Holy God favors you, what is the point of drinking a glass of wine? ”

After Cheng Wanli finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed one of Eunuch Liu's arms with a big hand.

The eunuch was in pain and let out a sharp cry like killing a pig.

The guards at the second guest seat got up and rushed up to fight with Lao Cheng.

"Toast without eating and eating penalty wine-"

The cloudy eyes were like torches at this moment, and when Cheng Wanli dragged Eunuch Liu to the side, he threw a look at Zhao Wouji.

Zao Wou-ki's head was also half-hanging, but he made an unmistakable forward attack, turning his hand and trapping the little eunuch who had just served the wine in his arms, and his two fingers fiercely clasped his neck.

"Hehe, since your father-in-law refuses to drink it, you can try it for him!"

The corners of Zao Wouji's mouth hooked into an evil smile, and with the other hand, he grabbed the wine jug on the table and poured it into the eunuch's mouth.

Before the elixir was poured out, the eunuch was already bleeding.

"Alcohol is poisonous!"

Min Jun was so angry that he smashed his wine glass in anger.

The evil deeds were revealed, and Liu Gonggong's guards immediately fought with the Dongchang people.

But they were not Fanzi's opponents after all, the latter also had the help of the Min family's sailor battalion, and they became prisoners in less than a few clicks.

Min Rui was furious, walked up to Eunuch Liu crookedly, grabbed him with an iron hand and shook him desperately, and shouted sadly:

"Why! My Min family is loyal to the emperor and the saint, and has never been disobedient, why does the court refuse to let go of my family, and refuse to let go——"

Eunuch Liu saw the Venus flying in front of him, constantly struggling and shouting:

"Min Rui must not be presumptuous, our family is a messenger appointed by the emperor, what do you dare to do to our family, be careful that your daughter is still in the palace!"

Min Rui was suddenly frightened, and let go of Eunuch Liu as soon as he let go of his hand.

An officer rushed into the main hall, sweating profusely:

"Report! The prince of Qiqi had a bad event, and he was ordered to eat the dim sum rewarded by the palace and vomit blood, and several Langzhong were consulting in the house! ”
