The night was sultry, the moon shadow moved eastward, Fan Niande took a wooden box from the hand of the caravan shopkeeper, the high-grade rosewood box was not heavy in his arms, obviously there was nothing gold, silver and jewelry in it, but it was an item that Liu Yungu attached great importance to by the Imperial City Division, and it had just arrived in Lin'an from Sizhou Town through his caravan.

"Send someone to invite Lord Liu into the mansion, be quick." Fan Niande placed the rosewood box on the desk, and after guessing what it was in it for a while, he suppressed his curiosity, and said that it was better to hand it over to Liu Yungu quickly, so as not to have a long night and dreams, and something went wrong with him.

"No need, I'm already here uninvited." Liu Yungu's voice sounded easily at the door of the main hall.

Fan Niande hurriedly turned around, looking at Liu Yungu's slightly hurried appearance, obviously got the news early in the morning, and then rushed over immediately.

"Lord Liu, please hurry up." Fan Niande branched out of the subordinates next to him and hurriedly welcomed Liu Yungu in.

Liu Yungu was not polite, and after saluting casually, he walked into the main hall and went straight to the wooden box on the case, and looked the wooden box up and down with a serious and attentive expression, and then his face returned to his old smile again.

"Thank you for being outside, if it weren't for your caravan, I'm afraid it would take a few days to reach Lin'an." Liu Yungu held the wooden box in one hand, and sighed at the same time, for his rude behavior of going straight to the wooden box just now and carefully looking at it, he didn't feel anything abrupt in front of Fan Niande.

Fan Niande's face was a little ugly, his stiff face squeezed out a smile, and hurriedly said politely: "Lord Liu doesn't have to be like this, Fan Mou just has to do it, as long as it doesn't delay your important matter with the Imperial City Division." ”

said so, but Fan Niande was holding back a nest in his heart, I am a great Confucian, how can I take advantage of the danger of others to peek at his character? Liu Yungu's move was really humiliating him in front of him.

But he has too many things to ask for in the Imperial City Division, even if it is not his business affairs, or the fact that a single forbidden army is the head of Ye Qing, and he becomes the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division in one day, it is enough for him to have a headache, so that he does not dare to slack off the living Bodhisattva in front of him in the slightest.

"Well, even if Fan Yuanwai knew that this was a secret document of the Imperial City Division, he naturally knew that this matter should not be known by a third party, so Liu Mou said goodbye first, and he had to go back immediately to hand over the errand, after all, the Imperial City Division was running a royal errand, wasn't it? If something goes wrong, neither of you nor I can afford it. Liu Yungu seemed to be bitter and honest, but Fan Niande didn't feel Liu Yungu's sincerity at all, but gave him a feeling of unloading the grind and killing the donkey.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Fan Niande laughed in his dry throat, watched Liu Yungu pick up the wooden box and walked out, so he had to say dryly: "Then Fan sent Lord Liu?" ”

"No need, there must be other things to be busy with, Liu knows the road. Please also ask the fan to stay outside. Liu Yungu's steps seemed a little anxious, and he didn't even have time to talk to Fan Niande more, so he hurriedly disappeared into the night.

Fan Niande looked at the black shadow and muttered in his mouth: "Don't you know the way, you came uninvited, and before you had time to say a word, you had already appeared in my house." ”

After the sound of opening and closing sounded at the gate of Fan's Mansion in the distance, the sound of leisurely footsteps sounded not far from Fan Niande, and Zhu Xi took his scholar and walked over to Fan Niande with a smile.

"Sir, this is ...... In the middle of the night, if the gentleman has something to say, why bother to come over in person. Fan Niande listened to the footsteps, looked back and saw that it was Zhu Xi, and immediately replaced the hideous expression on his face that was facing Liu Yungu's back just now with a warm smile and said.

"It's okay, it's time to take a walk. Ah...... I have to say, it's a blessing for you to be able to have such a big mansion in Lin'an City. Just now I saw that you had guests to entertain, so Zhu took advantage of the hazy night to go around, which has not really visited since I disturbed your house, and today is an eye-opener. Zhu Xi followed Fan Niande into the main hall, with some insinuations in his words, and said to Fan Niande with a smile.

"If Mr. likes it, he might as well live there forever, and treat this mansion as Mr.'s private residence, and Fan is too late to welcome it." Fan Niande glanced at the scholar next to him, and saw that he looked quite disdainful, but he didn't care about it in front of Zhu Xi, but he had already vaguely guessed in his heart the purpose of Zhu Xi's late night coming.

"Haha...... Brother Fan is too polite, they all say that this businessman values profit over righteousness, in my opinion Zhu Xi, Brother Fan, you are obviously an exception, you have been a businessman and a Confucianist over the years, and you have also lectured in Lin'an and Jiankang colleges, so you should be so arrogant and dry. It's just that Zhu has been disturbed for a long time, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi sighed inexplicably.

"This ...... How can it be so fast? Why didn't the gentleman stay any longer? But Fan's hospitality was not good, or was the subordinate too clumsy and disturbed Mr.'s purity? This...... This is really Fan's. Fan Niande had already guessed the purpose of Zhu Xi's coming here late at night, but when Zhu Xi said it calmly, he, Fan Niande, should also pretend and try his best to keep it.

The two are still sitting in the main hall playing Tai Chi, one is determined to go, and the other is trying his best to stay, although they know that it is impossible to do, but in their eyes, this is the etiquette, as a Confucian sage, it must be right to show virtue everywhere.

And in the palace, not long after Liu Yungu left Fan Niande's house, Long Dayuan was holding a secret letter in his hand, as if he felt extremely hot, and was standing at the gate of the palace and Ning, looking around at the majestic palace gate.

As the side palace door of the Hening Gate opened, and a figure slowly walked out, Long Dayuan immediately greeted him, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Long Dayuan, the commander of the Imperial City Division, has seen the nobles in the king. ”

"Commander Long is polite, call our family out so late, but what's the urgency?" Wang Lun looked up and down at Long Dayuan, who was a little dusty, and there was still a faint trace of sweat on his face, and asked.

"Back to the nobles, just now I received a secret letter from the Jin Kingdom, and the last general was afraid that the matter was very important and delayed the emperor's major affairs, so he immediately sent it over and disturbed the ...... of the nobles."

"Needless to say, our family is serving the Emperor, not to mention disturbing our family, is it the letter in your hand?" Wang Lun looked at the letter in Long Dayuan's hand and asked.

"Exactly, please check it." Long Dayuan hurriedly handed the letter to Wang Lun with both hands respectfully and said.

Wang Lun took the letter, took the newly replaced sheep's horn lantern at the palace gate, carefully checked the letter, and then carefully received it in his arms, and then looked at Long Dayuan and asked: "Commander Long, our family takes the liberty of wanting to ask a question, although it is said that the Imperial City Division has always acted in concealment, and the Emperor Taishang only needs to ask about the process as long as the result is not asked." But...... Commander Long, if we can't even figure out how this letter came into the hands of your Imperial City Division, do you think that the Emperor will be furious like this? ”

"Back to the noble, this letter was obtained by Liu Yungu, the general of the Imperial City Division, in the dark, he didn't see the appearance of the person who came, but vaguely looked like a person from the north, the person was tall, black-clothed and masked, but the accent still had a northern accent......." Long Dayuan hurriedly recounted how Liu Yungu got this secret letter word for word.

"The Imperial City Division is General Liu Yungu?" Wang Lun frowned and pondered, as if the first letter a few days ago, Long Dayuan also said that he sent it.

"Yes, this person is quite capable in the Imperial City Division, whether it is an errand or a wind probe, he is a good hand, and the original general wanted to recommend him to the military department to promote him as deputy commander, and he didn't want to be ......." Long Dayuan originally wanted to take credit for Liu Yungu, but when he said it, he suddenly remembered that Ye Qing's position as deputy commander seemed to be promoted by a direct decree from the palace.

Now that he is saying this in front of the nobles, is he trying to argue with the royal family? Or do you want to complain about Liu Yungu?

Wang Lun smiled as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to ask, "Then Commander Long, is this secret letter still known to others?" As far as our family knows, in the first few secret letters, you first consulted Master Tang Shuotang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, before coming to our family, so this time? ”

"Absolutely not this time, as soon as the last general gets the letter, he will go straight here to wait for the nobles." After brushing it, the sweat on Long Dayuan's face became denser, he was too negligent, how could he let others know that he had a close relationship with Master Tang, and it was the first time he said it stupidly.

More importantly, he should never have spoken for Liu Yungu at this time, although he gave himself the credit for presenting the secret letter to the palace many times, but this time is obviously not the time to speak for him.

I'm really fascinated by the moment, and I can't be stupid anymore.

When he was secretly angry at his stupidity, he heard Wang Lun say with a smile: "That's good, that's good." It's best for the dragon commander to know who he is doing on weekdays, and how to deal with some things, presumably the dragon commander doesn't need our family to tell him, right? There are some things in the heavenly family, who you want to know, who you shouldn't know, you have to remember in the future when the dragon is in charge, don't make your own decisions. ”

"Yes, the last general remembers, the last general remembers the reminder of the nobles, and guarantees that there will be no mistakes in the future." Long Dayuan's face was already sweating like rain at this moment, and the clothes on his back were completely soaked at this time, clinging tightly to his back, which made him feel terrified, and the whole person was even more panicked.

When Long Dayuan raised his head again, Wang Lun, who was still standing in front of him just now, had already appeared at the side gate of the palace, and as the side door opened a gap, after Wang Lun's figure flashed in, only Long Dayuan, who was like a chicken in the soup, stood in place in a daze, watching a pair of guards from the front of the palace patrol from here.

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Caiqing, who was like a hibiscus out of the water, and thought about what Zhao Caiqing said just now: "Words are the body, they must be cultivated, and they can say what poetry can't say, but they can't say what poetry can say." The realm of poetry is wide, and the words are long. I don't know what Lord Ye thinks? ”
