Chapter 108: Retreat as Advance

Qi Lichen watched Xi Duyun leave, and then entered the study with Bai Ye.

It's a letter from the Prime Minister.

Bai Ye obeyed Qi Lichen's order and asked his subordinates to quickly send the list to the prime minister.

The prime minister was furious, he boasted that he was covering the sky in the court, and he never thought that there would be so many people besides him secretly investigating the location of the treasure.

After reading the prime minister's letter, the smile in Qi Lichen's eyebrows gradually solidified, and he raised his hand to throw the letter into the charcoal fire on the side.

The paper quickly turned to ashes.

A little spark was reflected in his eyes, and Qi Lichen's hand on the table gently tapped on the tabletop, one by one, and the white night atmosphere on the side did not dare to come out.

Childe's appearance, obviously angry?

Because of the Prime Minister's letter?

Bai Ye was a little curious about what the prime minister said to make the master so angry.

After a long time, Qi Lichen called: "White Night." ”

"The subordinates are here." Bai Ye hurriedly responded.

"The people in the capital, withdraw half of it first." He said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Bai Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Lichen incredulously: "Withdraw, withdraw halfway?" ”

He was in a trance, and even suspected that he had something wrong with his ears.

Between doubts, I saw Qi Lichen nodding.

Bai Ye's face is not good-looking, the people in the capital have been planted by Gongzi for so many years, but now they are about to withdraw half, isn't this a waste of Gongzi's hard work for many years?

As Qi Lichen's personal guard, Bai Ye boldly asked: "Childe, can your subordinates ask why?" ”

If half of the people were withdrawn, their plans would be put on hold.

After more than ten years of planning, I thought that day was close at hand, but now I am going backwards, and Bai Ye feels that it is difficult for him to accept the current situation, let alone Childe.

Qi Lichen looked at him slowly.

Bai Ye's heart was shocked, in those dark eyes, the anger seemed to be torn apart and spreading, and around Tsing Yi, bursts of coolness were enveloped in it, making people dare not approach.

"Smack."

The window behind him was suddenly blown open by the wind, and a chill suddenly poured into the room, and the heat of the carbon fire seemed to be covered.

Just as he was about to plead guilty, Qi Lichen's tone was indifferent: "The prime minister is going to make the first move on the people in the military department, and he said in the letter that I have kept an eye on the six princes." ”

"Bingbu!" Bai Ye's eyes widened.

The military department is the top priority of the child's power, and the prime minister, the old fox, actually picked the military department to take the lead.

However, there doesn't seem to be the name of the official eunuch of the military department on the list, how did the prime minister know.

Qi Lichen stood up, facing the window with a clear wind, and the heat of his whole body was completely blown away by the cold wind: "It's not that the prime minister noticed anything, it's King Mujun." ”

White Night hurriedly closed the window.

"King Mujun?" The image of a weak gambler came to Bai Ye's mind, "Aren't these two mortal enemies?" ”

This King Mujun is the brother of the current emperor, but he is from a humble background, he is a gambler, and he is greedy for beauty, and he has never posed any threat to the throne, so he can survive in the era when kings are vying for power and profit.

The combination of these two people is really beyond Bai Ye's imagination.

When the prime minister was young, he was just a civil official with a good fourth grade, not respected, and had no connections, at that time he had just married the prime minister's wife, and the prime minister's wife was born beautiful, and once met King Mu Jun on the street and was teased.

This matter somehow got into the ears of the emperor, and the emperor deliberately adjusted it, but this King Mujun was unreasonable, and later he was rewarded with a board for making disrespectful remarks to the prime minister's wife.

Since then, the two have become mortal enemies.

There is a frolicking saying in the market, there is a prime minister in the Jinluan Palace, and the prince is not seen.

It's the relationship between the two.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Qi Lichen's eyes became colder and colder.

This time, he was careless, he didn't expect that the battle between the prime minister and King Mujun for so many years was actually pretended. Love Literature Network

Come to think of it, the moment King Mu Jun flirted with the prime minister's wife, the drama between the two had already begun. In the past ten years, the two of them have been able to pretend to be undiscovered until now, which is really good acting skills.

"These two are just making a show, you order to go down and evacuate the people from the capital to Zhangzhou." Qi Lichen commanded.

"Yes." Knowing that it was inconvenient for him to say more, Bai Ye did not continue to ask.

Qi Lichen is naturally not a person who admits defeat.

It's just that he underestimated the prime minister's cunning, even if the prime minister and King Mu Jun are playing chess, he Qi Lichen will definitely make the middle boundary.

Zhangzhou is only a mountain away from the capital, even if it is a half-day walk away, the prime minister wants to clear the obstacles in the court, then it is as he wishes.

Bai Ye, who returned to the pavilion, happened to bump into Luo Qing'er who came up from downstairs. Bai Ye informed Luo Qing'er of Gongzi's instructions and asked her to send someone to deliver the letter.

Listening to his words, Luo Qing'er smiled: "Childe, this is it, to retreat as advance?" ”

"How can you see that retreat is advance?"

Luo Qing'er glanced at her, lifted the light veil on her wrist, and sneered: "I can't see this, Bai Ye, why have you become more and more stupid after so many years with your son." ”

Bai Ye's face suddenly darkened a little.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you that." Luo Qing'er accepted it when she saw it, "Think about it, where is Zhangzhou, who is the second unlucky prime minister besides the military department." ”

Bai Ye muttered two sentences, and suddenly came back to his senses.

Yes, he said, how could Childe be a person who easily admits defeat.

Seeing that his eyebrows were flying, Luo Qing'er touched his forehead: "Okay, you elm head, hurry back and regain your sight, I'll go and tell my son." ”

"Okay, you as soon as possible." White Night turned to leave.

"Wait." Luo Qing'er called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qing'er looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, she asked softly, "I heard that there have been some things on Madame's side recently, but can it be solved?" ”

Bai Ye glanced at him, his eyes were complicated.

Luo Qing'er naturally understood what he meant, and her bright face was full of color: "What kind of eyes are you, I'm just curious." "She knows who she is.

She was just curious, curious about what kind of ability the woman who could have the favor of her son.

If she could, she would have liked to go out and find out for herself.

It's a pity that things in the pavilion are busy, and the guests of this hairpin building are also less out and more in.

Bai Ye sighed in his heart, he had been working with Luo Qing'er for many years, and he knew Luo Qing'er's ability, and the only thing he was worried about was her affection for her son.

As the book says, love is the most misleading.

"Qing'er, Madame's business, I can't talk too much." This is Childe's advice, no matter who it is, you can't say much.

The woman's eyebrows drooped slightly, and inadvertently, her gaze dimmed a little: "I know." ”

She shook the hand at her side and let go, after all, she didn't force Bai Ye to say anything more.

Childe's orders, no matter who they are, must never be disobeyed.

Looking at the woman's lonely back, Bai Ye shook his head quietly, held his sword, and flew away.

In the Sugar Heart Pavilion, Xi Duyun is directing several sugar-making women in the courtyard to teach the new women.

These people were all recruited by the county order, in order to test the latest sugar recipe that Xi Duyun said.

Although she wrote down the steps of that method on a piece of paper one by one in advance, but not all of them were literate, no, a dozen or so women in the courtyard were sent here by the county order to learn because they were illiterate.

It was already noon, and Aunt Liu brought food over.

Cuiyun wiped the beads of sweat from Xi Duyun's forehead with a handkerchief, and wondered, "Why did Madame teach them herself, wouldn't those women too?" ”

Xi Duyun smiled: "Those women were also taught by me, besides, don't you see that those ladies will waste a lot of sugar cane when they raise sugar, if this group of people let them teach, wouldn't it be more wasteful." ”

Cuiyun pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.

Aunt Liu, who had finished distributing the food on the side, brought a food box, Xi Duyun looked over, and the moment her eyes touched the red envelope, she couldn't help but light up.
