Rongwang's Mansion

"Song Lian? It's been a long time. Yan Rong stood at the door, thinking that it was someone knocking on the door, it turned out that the commotion in the capital today was for this reason, and it was strange that Zili was too sleepy, and when he woke up, it was already noon, and he suddenly saw the person who had been separated for a long time standing in front of him, and his heart was still a little empty.

"General, it's been a long time." Song Lian hid the ecstasy in his eyes and saluted.

"Brother Song, why is this so, although you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, but the friendship has not been reduced by half, called the general, is it a little rusty," Yan Rong said with a light smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have a different feeling on your body, and it seems to be much gentle." Song Lian also said with a smile.

"What you say is ridiculous, when did I, a general who protects the country, hide my violence and add gentleness?" Yan Rong laughed even louder, but he quarreled with the master behind him.

"This king originally thought that who was laughing and making noise at the door, but it turned out that Lord Song had returned to Beijing, and he was disappointed." Nangong Li said lazily, and his eyelids were only slightly raised.

"Lord Rong, it's unfortunate that Song Lian came to disturb your Qing cultivation." Song Lian said meaningfully.

"Zili, why did you come out without getting dressed, and don't let people laugh at you?" Yan Rong blamed coquettishly, and stepped forward to pull his clothes for Nangong Li and said.

Song Lian lowered his head slightly, but it was not easy to leave, so he could only stay like this.

"Brother Song, come with me into the house, it's not good to stay at the door all the time." Song Lian was still pondering, and Yan Rong's voice sounded.

"Okay." Song Lian nodded and went in.

"I wonder if Brother Song came to the door in person today to report something important?" Yan Rong sat in the study and poured Song Lian a cup of tea and said.

"Exactly, there are so many things that need to be said slowly." Song Lian took the teacup and nodded and said.

"A few days ago, Bai Ling came to me once, and he said that he would arrive in the capital in only three days, but I heard that the envoy accompanying you was infected with the wind and cold, so he was delayed for a while, so he came so late." Yan Rong said.

"What kind of occasional cold, in my opinion, eighty percent of them were poisoned." Song Lian shook his head and said.

"Why did Lord Song come alone, didn't he come without a reward? Nangong Li came over with a plate of dim sum, not shying away from the conversation between them.

"Bai Ling and Yan Jiajun are still in the palace to thank you, I didn't see anything serious, so I came." Song Lian was a little dissatisfied with his words being interrupted, but he didn't want to lose his temper.

"Is it the emperor's reception banquet for you today?" Yan Rong also asked.

"Yes, I was curious why you weren't there." Song Lian said.

"The emperor exempted me from a few days off, of course, I don't like such boring occasions, but if you rushed here before you were grateful, will you be criticized?" Yan Rong asked.

"Ah Rong, if Lord Song is afraid of this, will he still come?" Nangong Li said.

"This matter is related to the government, it is better to .......," Song Lian said meaningfully.

"No, Zili is not an outsider." Yan Rong said with a smile.

"Whatever the general says, it's what it is." Song Lian's face changed, and then he said.

"What kind of political affairs to talk about, since you have come to my Rongwang Mansion, everyone is like-minded people, as the saying goes, "the Tao is different, do not conspire with each other." "Lord Song doesn't need to care about what I say, although my Nangong Li is a waste wood outside, but inside, my brain is still not stupid." Nangong Li said.

"Lord Rong is really transparent." Song Lian felt that he was a person who shouldn't be involved just now, but when he saw Nangong Li's ease, he realized how ugly he was just now, and Nangong Li looked good.

"Okay, Song Lian, just call me by my real name, I tried my best to protect you and recommend you, just to recognize your talent and be friends with you, not for those vulgar courtesies." Yan Rong said.

"You husband and wife are really consistent with their words and deeds, it seems that in the past few months since I left, a lot of things have happened in the capital, you only report good news and not bad news, I don't even know what happened in the capital, and what are your friends." Song Lian said ashamedly.

"You said that you don't report good news and bad news, if it weren't for Bai Ling, I don't know how bitter you are outside, but you still don't say a word, everyone is not a child anymore, not the child who cries at every turn, so there are some things, don't care so much, just be safe now." Yan Rong said. 、

"I heard that the envoy's illness is not light, you said that it was not a cold, but someone did it on purpose?" Nangong Li asked.

"Indeed, this disease is very strange, if it is said that the water and soil are not adapted, it should have been separated from Mengyang, who will wait until it is close to the capital to adapt to the water and soil, and the disease is not a fatal disease, but it has been repeated and tormented." Song Lian said.

"Before you find out, you can't make a decision at will, but who will harm the envoys, isn't this provoking a dispute between the two countries?" Yan Rong thought darkly.

"There is also a special coincidence, today I was at the banquet, I did not see Prime Minister Rong, the eldest prince of Rong said that the prime minister was also sick, this is too coincidental." Song Lian said.

"The prime minister should have been sick during this time, but it really happened that he was weak, and no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him, and he could say it." Yan Rong said.

"If you are really sick and pretend to be sick, you will know it at a glance, and if you want to come to the emperor, you will not be stupid to believe it, and you will definitely send someone to investigate." Nangong Li said.

"At that time, the emperor sent Yuanshou Gonggong to go, but it should be true." Song Lian said.

"Even if you pretend to be sick, you can't press this matter on his head at will, let's wait for the imperial doctor to make a decision." Nangong Li said.

"That's exactly what happened." Song Lian also nodded and said.

"Also, what happened in Mengyang Kingdom, Bai Ling also told me a lot, it really hurt you, as for how you told the emperor, it was clear to think about it." Yan Rong said.

"Yes, it is tragic that those innocent people have been sacrificed in vain, these high-ranking and powerful people are really ruthless, and they do not hesitate to waste people's lives in order to achieve their goals." Song Lian said.

"Now this is the way of the world, I used to be outside, thinking that all the people are as sincere as the brothers in the barracks, without intrigue, who knows that after coming to the capital, I found that there are traps everywhere, there are difficulties everywhere, and there is the oppression of the supreme ruler, and the people are still blindly kept in the dark, and the young talents also want to continue to gain fame, in the end, don't they still fall into the whirlpool?" Yan Rong sighed.

"Yan Rong, have you experienced anything and what happened?" Song Lian found that there was something wrong with what Yan Rong said, when he left, Yan Rong was still the heroic general with high spirits, who knew that Yan Rong felt a little helpless and sad when he came back this time.

"It's not a big deal, there are a lot of rumors in Beijing, if you know something, don't panic, let alone go your own way, you know, we are together, we were born to protect this land and the people of Dawn." Yan Rong said.

"I was born into a poor family, I just didn't expect that even if I achieved a high position, but I still live uncomfortably, the emperor's suspicions, really overwhelmed people, today at the banquet, the emperor vigorously praised Rong Gongzi, and praised you at that time, for him, useful people are the people he values." Song Lian said.

"Who's to say it isn't." Yan Rong also nodded and said, for a while, there was nothing between the three of them, Nangong Li and Song Lian tasted tea, and Yan Rong just looked at the teacup in a daze.
