"Ahh The second prince has not yet become the prince, his strength is so strong, is it possible that the saint is so relieved of him today? Puyang Gu Sheng exclaimed.

"Today's saint has also won from the seven sons, and it is impossible for him to be completely unaware of the strength of the second prince and the existence of the henchmen behind him."

"You mean, the current saint intends to train the second prince to become the prince?"

"At least for now? From the point of view of personal ability, the second prince is indeed the best candidate, after all, the Yuhua Kingdom is the weakest in the Yunjinli Continent, and only the monarch who is full of ambition and strategy can let the small Yuhua Kingdom survive in the Seven Kingdoms Hegemony, I think this is also the most important reason why the current saint intends to cultivate the second prince as the prince. ”

"Then what are we still hesitating about, let's do everything possible to get close to him, don't worry about you and me in the future."

"I thought the same way at first, but the emergence of two relationships made me completely give up this idea."

"Oh? What relationship? ”

"The youngest daughter of the current prime minister has just become the princess of the second prince, and Shentu Yuanba's backer in Kyoto is also a member of the second prince." Zhuge Hanqing put down the teacup and said quietly, "And look at this," he took out a piece of paper from the brocade belt around his waist and handed it to Puyang Gu Sheng.

"Ahh Where did you get this? This records that the second prince took money from the household department and sent it to many officials of the ministry as Bingjing's running account. Puyang Gu Sheng looked at the content on the paper and exclaimed.

"I spent 50 taels of silver to learn from an official who had retired from the ministry that the reason why he was willing to say this was because his name was not on the long list of Bing Jing every year. In addition, he had a strange illness and was in dire need of money. Zhuge Hanqing muttered and explained.

Puyang Gu Sheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a weak scholar would know all the important information in Kyoto in just a few days, and he also got the certificate of the secret correspondence between the second prince and the officials of the ministry. However, the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt, after all, if the piece of paper in his hand was discovered by the people of the second prince, then the two of them, even Miss Murong, would face ...... Thinking of this, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.

Zhuge Hanqing raised his head slightly, saw the change in his expression, and probably guessed what he was thinking at this time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, reached out and took the piece of paper in his hand, and said softly: "You don't have to think about it, this piece of paper can't do anything to the second prince." Not only the second prince, do you think that the princes of all dynasties and dynasties, how many people can stay out of the party? Therefore, this piece of paper is important and important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, depending on whose hands it is. ”

Puyang Gu Sheng didn't want to be looked down upon by him, took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "My grandfather broke into the army alone, taking the head of the enemy guard like a bag, he is not afraid, as his only eldest grandson, how can I be afraid of death, not to mention that we chose to come to Yancheng in the first place, how can we not know the danger of this place, I have long put life and death out of the way!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Puyang, you and I have this kind of mind, I think we will be able to open up the situation in Yancheng soon." Zhuge Hanqing smiled slightly, and put the paper in his hand back into the brocade belt, "Maybe this piece of paper can help us open up the situation." ”

"Brother Zhuge , you haven't told me yet, who are we going to be attached to?" Puyang Gu Sheng picked up a chair and sat next to Zhuge Hanqing.

"If the second prince becomes the future monarch, do you think he can govern the world well?" Zhuge Hanqing turned his head sideways, looked at the other party and asked seriously.

"People are divided into groups, and things are gathered by like, like the prime minister who slanders others and the ruffians and bullies who kill the people, they are all in the camp of the second prince, no matter what, I am not optimistic about the Yuhua Kingdom after the second prince is in charge." Puyang Gu Sheng's eyes were full of disgust.

"Because of this, I will completely abandon the idea of approaching the second prince." Zhuge Hanqing got up and paced back and forth in front of Puyang Gu Sheng.

"Then which prince are you most optimistic about?" Puyang Gu Sheng raised his head and asked curiously.

"Hey... I have gathered very little information about the eldest prince and the second prince, so I don't dare to make a judgment, so let's wait and see. Zhuge Hanqing sighed slightly.

"Well, there's no need to be too anxious, after all, we all plan to stay in Yancheng and not leave, and there will be more time in the future." Puyang Gu Sheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and said leisurely, "But one thing I'm curious about, I only gave you my three small addresses, how did you get so much valuable information in such a short period of time?" By money? But you don't have much money left. ”

Puyang Gu Sheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, staring at the other party's expression, wanting to see through the other party.

"Brother Puyang, do you suspect me with these eyes, are you the son of a certain gentry? I don't have a lot of money to splurge on. Zhuge Hanqing was a little uncomfortable, "Didn't I tell you about it?" I was fostered by Uncle Duanmu in the county seat, and there are no giants and gentry in the county! ”

"I'm not doubting whether you are the son of a giant gentry, but I am admiring your ability, that's all." Puyang Gu Sheng spread out his arms, as if to show his openness.

"It's nothing, I'm just showing them the jade pendant you borrowed from me." Zhuge Hanqing said casually.

"Huh? Is it still on the side of the patrol envoy? ”

"That's nature."

"Then you can't continue to use it, it's easy to provoke the eyes and ears of bad people."

"Okay, okay, just give it back to you, I don't think I can use it anymore, I really use it too much."

Zhuge Hanqing said as he took out the jade pendant that was in the placket and returned it to the other party.

......

In the evening, when the two of them came to Murong Xiaoyue's room, they found that she was concentrating on sword practice.

"Miss Murong, it seems that your injuries are almost recovering." Zhuge Hanqing said with relief.

"Yes, thanks to Brother Puyang, who makes me all kinds of delicious food every day, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly." Murong Xiaoyue put the sword into the sheath, and then said, "By the way, Brother Zhuge , why can't you see your figure, what are you busy with?" ”

"It's nothing, I just looked for some connections, and by the way, I found out who is the most honest and fair minister in Kyoto, and whether he is willing to selflessly seek justice for the poor people." In order to comfort the other party, he can only say this.

"Well, did you find it?"

"I found it, it's a deputy director of the Ministry of Rites, and I have told him all your grievances in the form of letters, and I believe there will be a reply soon."

"That's great."

Murong Xiaoyue was very happy when she heard this, and offered a cup of tea to each of them.

Puyang Gu Sheng didn't want to hide anything, but because of the consequences after he spoke straight last time, this time he could only perfunctorily say "yes" to Zhuge Hanqing's white lies.

The next day, Puyang Gu Sheng wanted to buy nutritious food for Murong Xiaoyue, but when he went out, he found that his brocade was empty, and in desperation, he had to give away his jade pendant in exchange for 500 taels of silver.
