It has been several days in a row, and it has been more than two months since Tu Lie came to Dachu, but his marriage with Hanyue has not yet been settled, since the Chu Emperor promised him, there has been no follow-up, and he has not said when the marriage will be granted, he has gone to look for it several times, and the Chu Emperor has pushed it away by waiting for Hanyue's mood to settle down and make plans.

Both of them have already cooked raw rice, and Tulie is not afraid of people repenting, if he really dares to repent, he can trumpet Princess Hanyue in Dachu and sleep with him, a princess who has lost her reputation will not have much fun in Dachu.

In addition to the unquiet harem in the past few days, the court is also turbulent, and the crown prince Chu Ying's subordinates have lost a position in the Ministry of Rites.

"Damn, the third child has become more and more arrogant recently, this is the third time, haven't you come up with a way to deal with it?!"

Chu Ying looked at the staff standing in a row below, and his heart was even more angry, he raised such a person to give advice to him, not here to stare and wait for him to come up with his own ideas!

The staff in the bottom row, look at me, I look at you, they were all recruited by Chu Ying with a lot of money, and they all had real materials to stand here, but in the face of the attack of the three princes, they couldn't even come up with an idea for a while.

Chu Yingqi's head hurt, and one of the staff members saw it, and boldly proposed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you go to Prince Duan and try it?" ”

Duan Yi?

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment in his heart, yes, he almost forgot about this person, although Duan Yi was not his Great Chu person, his strength and means could not be ignored by anyone, not to mention that he was still a guest of Great Chu.

Although Duan Yi couldn't meddle in the affairs of the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Ying was still very curious, if he encountered this situation, how would he solve it?

Having made up his mind in his heart, he quickly dismissed all the staff, and asked someone to prepare a big gift, he was going to visit this "guest" of Da Chu!

Yiwan Garden is still as calm as ever, in this chaotic Da Chu seems to be a little indisputable, they are just staying here temporarily with a friendly attitude, what happened in Da Chu has nothing to do with them, and the fire burning in the court can't spread here.

"Master, the prince is here!" There is no breeze and night fall, and the usual reporting of these tasks falls on Feihua.

Duan Yi didn't react in particular, just let out a soft "um" and motioned for her to bring someone in.

Not long after, Chu Ying brought someone in with a bunch of good things and put them in front of Duan Yi, Duan Yi didn't even look at those things, and only asked him to sit down first.

Chu Ying smiled and said politely: "King Duan, don't come unharmed." ”

Duan Yi nodded at him, which could be regarded as a greeting: "The prince is here today, I don't know what to do?" The words are direct, and he doesn't seem to want to be too polite.

Chu Ying didn't feel embarrassed, he wouldn't get tired of dealing with smart people, so he didn't hide it too much, and said directly: "I don't know if King Duan has heard of the recent things in the court?" ”

Hearing this, Duan Yi glanced at him more and said briefly: "I have heard a little." He didn't continue, as if he was waiting for the other party to speak first.

Seeing this, Chu Ying couldn't figure out his attitude, so he asked tentatively, "I don't know what King Duan thinks of my third brother?" In this conversation, he did not use the word "Hongu" to refer to himself, obviously putting down his body.

Duan Yi naturally heard it, smiled slightly, and said casually: "The third prince Chu Mo is brave and strategic, decisive and ruthless, he is ambitious, but he is ......"

Having said this, Chu Ying felt hopeful when he heard it, and then quickly asked, "But how?" ”

Duan Yi's fingers tapped on the table, and there was an arc of unknown meaning on his lips, but he was silent and didn't speak, Chu Ying looked at him a little anxiously, and waited until he had satisfied his appetite before he spoke.

He said, "I wonder if the prince has heard of the flooding that broke out in Fengcheng a few days ago?" ”

"Maple City waterlogging?" For some reason, these words seemed a little familiar when they came out of Duan Yi's mouth, as if they had heard them somewhere.

Chu Ying frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention it in the court a few days ago, but at that time he was full of thoughts about how to fight back against the third child, so this matter was automatically ignored by him.

Now that he heard Duan Yi mention it, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing, he nodded, and waited for his next words.

Duan Yi asked inexplicably: "Where is Fengcheng located, can the prince know?" ”

Maple City? Isn't it located directly behind Lianyun City, the geographical location of Fengcheng is unique, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one is the entrance, that location is just opposite Lianyun City, and it is precisely because of the existence of this location that the trade between the two cities is close to each other.

Lianyun City is located at the edge of the border of the Great Chu State, that position handles the travel and trading of various countries, and it is also the first line of defense to protect the Great Chu, because there are often different people from various countries there, so the public security is very chaotic, Chu Ying also heard his father a few days ago that his uncle finally took Lianyun City, and it was a little better to take charge of the security over there again.

Fengcheng intersecting with Lianyun City is a fertile land, is a natural place suitable for planting crops, Fengcheng's water and soil has been very good, there have been several wars between Dachu and other countries are directly transported from Fengcheng to the battlefield, the distance is short and convenient, it can be said that Fengcheng is a rare "granary" in Dachu!

But in the last few days, I don't know why, it has been raining thunderstorms for half a month on the Fengcheng side, and the thunder and lightning struck a river dam on Fengcheng Mountain, and the river and rain rolled away, instantly drowning the crops that the people had worked so hard to plant, and drowning many people!

It has been half a month since this incident reached the ears of Emperor Chu, it is hard to imagine how the people of Fengcheng survived in this half month, Emperor Chu was very angry after hearing this, and immediately ordered the opening of the granaries of several cities near Fengcheng to relieve the people, but this is also a symptom but not a cure.

Chu Ying seemed to have grabbed something from it in retrospect, and he asked with some uncertainty: "What does King Duan mean by this?" ”

Duan Yi didn't explain anything, just tilted his head and whispered something to him, Chu Ying's expression changed from stunned to surprised, and there was a little fear in the surprise.

His frightened expression was not obvious, and his voice was still slightly trembling: "This matter... Has King Duan ever thought about the consequences of being exposed? ”

How could Duan Yi care so much, he gently patted Chu Ying's shoulder: "Prince, those who become big things are not informal, who doesn't step on the bloody road step by step?" ”

His voice seemed to have a hint of seduction, and Chu Ying was silent for a long time under his voice, and only after a while did he raise his head as if decided, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Okay, if it is done, I will definitely not forget King Duan's affection, and in exchange, I can remove one person for King Duan." Chu Ying's eyes flickered, and he planned to cast sincerity to King Duan.

Duan Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Who? ”

Chu Ying didn't answer immediately, he just smiled and said, "King Duan is waiting patiently, and it can be regarded as a little reward for King Duan." ”

The conversation was over, and Chu Ying waited for another cup of tea before leaving.

Not long after Chu Ying left, a person slowly walked out from behind the screen in the house, a heroic woman wearing men's clothes.

Zhong Qing had been hiding behind the screen just now, and she had listened to all the conversations between Duan Yi and Chu Ying, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

She asked, "What did the prince just whisper to the prince?" ”

Duan Yi looked at the direction Chu Ying left, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be as if all beings were chess pieces, and he was the one who played chess.

He lazily propped his head and said mysteriously, "You'll know in a few days." ”

Zhongqing couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes, this person always likes to be mysterious, I have to say that Duan Yi can arouse her curiosity just right every time.

"Is the little guy hungry, this king invites you to taste the characteristics of Nanli." Duan Yi tempted her with food again.

Zhongqing was very spineless, and when he talked about delicious food, his eyes flashed with stars, "What are you waiting for, let's go!" "She can't wait.

The woman's happy mood infected Duan Yi, and even his mood was extremely happy, as soon as he was happy, the entire Yiwan Garden seemed to be full of life.

Duan Yi said that taking her to taste Nanli's characteristics was not to take her out, but this morning he specially ordered his subordinates to bring a few people from his Wangfuli in Nanli, including a cook, who took care of his daily diet on weekdays in case of accidents.

These people all followed Duan Yi when Old Prince Duan was still alive, and they can be said to be his henchmen, and these people are responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays.

The chef's name is Li Dayong, because his ancestors are butchers, so until his generation, he has a little murderous intent, and his face looks terrible, but in fact, he is a heartfelt and honest person in his heart, especially the cooking skills, Da Chu's imperial chef can't compare!

This is the conclusion that Zhong Qing made after tasting his craftsmanship, Li Dayong's dish should be the first, and being able to eat it once is definitely a blessing from the first half of his life.

Zhong Qing burst into tears while eating: "Lord Wang, what kind of peerless delicacy is this, I feel that I really lived in vain a few years ago!" ”

She said inarticulately, and she was still gnawing on a big pig's trotter in her mouth, she loved this big pig's trotter so much, and there was a taste of her hometown in the mouth, full of nostalgia!

Duan Yi looked at her slightly exaggerated expression funny, her heart moved, and she couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

After finally gnawing on the pig's trotters, Duan Yi didn't feel anything wrong and wiped the oil stains on her face for her.

The people around him lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything, and finally Qing was suddenly a little embarrassed, was this action too intimate?

Duan Yi saw that she didn't eat, and thought that something was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Have you eaten enough? ”

"Haha..."Zhong Qing smiled awkwardly, put down the pig's trotters in his hand, and wiped his hands casually: "I'm full, Lord Wang, can I still eat Chef Li's craftsmanship in the future?" She asked a little cautiously, this damn send-damn fence!

Duan Yi didn't feel anything wrong, nodded his chin lightly, and said casually: "No problem, just say whatever you want to eat." ”

"Lord Wang, you are so good, I will definitely go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire for you, and I will never frown!" Zhongqing swore that as long as she had a bite to eat, she would definitely honor the prince from the bottom of her heart!

Who made her a sender now, then again, she has been here for so long, and she doesn't seem to have made any substantial contribution to him, how can this be worthy of the prince's trust in her?!

Zhongqing secretly decided in her heart that she must find a way to help the prince find out what he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion!

The dark light in her eyes surged, Duan Yi thought that she was happy to be able to eat delicious food every day, very strange, a woman's happy mood always seemed to easily affect him, she smiled, Duan Yi was also happy, Duan Yi was happy, and the people of Yiwanyuan simply felt that spring had arrived early!
