Chapter 196: Tempting Each Other
The courtyard arranged by the prefect for the eldest prince is the most noisy place in the whole Jiangnan, where the red bridge and green water, coupled with the suitable climate, is simply a good place in the Jiangnan season.
"Lord Lou, our eldest prince said that there are no guests today."
Qi Yu stood at the door of the mansion and waited, but the guards who came out refused without hesitation.
"Tell the eldest prince that he still wants to take care of the plague (qíng)?" Qi Yu sneered and looked at the guards.
Sure enough, after hearing the plague, the guard's face also changed. In the past two days, they have also heard a lot of rumors, but the government has issued an order of strict (jìn) nonsense.
Even so, everyone still looked panicked in the past two days.
Qi Yu stood at the door of the mansion, looking down at the raindrops falling in front of him, and suddenly, he thought of the first two (rì) pictures of him and Zhou Huan walking in the rain with umbrellas.
There aren't many people he cares about, so it's also very important to protect them in his heart.
"Your Excellency, please come here." This time, came out of Qi Heng (shēn) side of the cronies.
Qi Yu had seen this person, named Qian Bin, who was a thoughtful strategist. In the past, he had come to his mansion and tried to enter the prince's mansion, but at that time, Qi Yu was most unaccustomed to this kind of thoughtful person, so he refused the request of the visitor.
didn't expect to go around and around, but he became a close confidant of Qi Heng (shēn).
Qi Yu glanced at the visitor with a complicated expression, "Where is the eldest prince?" ”
Qian Bin said respectfully: "Study." ”
Heard and then turned (shēn). Striding towards the courtyard, Qian Bin was stunned, always feeling that Fang Cai's eyes seemed to be familiar.
In the study, Qi Heng was staring at the rice paper in front of him in a daze.
"Landlord, you came just in time, come and help me see what is painted on this rice paper?" When Qi Heng saw Qi Yu coming, he immediately asked.
Qi Yu frowned, what did the people outside live by, what was Qi Heng doing as the person in charge of disaster relief.
"The Great Prince."
Seeing Qi Yu's serious appearance, Qi Heng waved his hand helplessly, "Say, I heard that the landlord also knew about the plague (qíng)." ”
Let's say, Qi Heng also looked at Qi Yu with a complicated expression, after all, he had just decided this matter yesterday.
But who knows, Qi Yu told Qi Heng with a serious face, "Great Prince, if you can't hear this news in the Silver Moon Tower, can it still be called the Silver Moon Tower?" ”
Hearing this, Qi Heng smiled.
"Then the landlord said, what is the reason why you came here (qíng)?" Qi Heng also put away his hanging.
"Solve the problem of the plague (qíng), the eldest prince can leave it to me." Qi Yu spoke directly, which was also his purpose.
"And then?"
Qi Yu continued, "In the final analysis, the best way to solve the plague is also because of money, so the Great Prince's Mansion disaster relief funds can now come in handy. ”
Disaster relief?
Qi Heng's face turned a little pale when he mentioned the disaster relief money, his people calculated a sum of money for him last night, and the disaster relief money he brought this time was almost a drop in the bucket compared to the disaster (qíng) in Jiangnan.
In other words, Qi Heng must settle this large amount of silver locally in Jiangnan.
Although Qi Heng had already planned when he came, he didn't expect the outbreak of this plague event to make him a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that Qi Heng didn't answer, Qi Yu continued: "Great Prince, the disaster (qíng) seems to be more serious, leaving the Silver Moon Tower, I want to ......"
Qi Yu's (yù) words and stops obviously knowing that he didn't bring enough silver.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng looked at Qi Yu with a little more vigilance in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Landlord, what exactly do you want?" ”
At the beginning, Qi Yu approached him for the so-called silver, but now Qi Yu's position was suddenly injured, which made Qi Heng notice a little tired.
In this way, Qi Yu also decided not to disguise himself anymore.
"The eldest prince, don't you know everything?"
Qi Heng exclaimed, "What do you mean? ”
"The eldest prince sent Liu Wan'er over, what do you want?" Qi Yu turned the conversation to Liu Wan'er's (shēn), and then stared at Qi Heng intently.
Hearing Liu Wan'er's name, Qi Heng's pupils shrank slightly, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"Escaped?" Qi Heng's eyes quickly regained their calm.
However, Qi Yu has already got what he wants, he is good at observing people, and Qi Heng will not hide himself.
It seems that Qi Heng didn't know anything about Liu Wan'er (qíng). At least, Liu Wan'er shouldn't have fled here.
"Last night, Liu Wan'er stabbed me and escaped." Qi Yu pointed to the bleeding wound on his shoulder, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Qi Heng frowned and looked at the person in front of him, he was wearing a bamboo blue robe, and his temperament was extremely cold, which made people feel like they wanted to be a person.
Who he thought, he couldn't think of anything.
However, Qi Yu at this end didn't think so much, and what he was thinking about at the moment was not to let Qi Heng find out about Liu Wan'er's problem (qíng), and to make Qi Heng believe in his ambition for Jiangnan affairs (qíng).
Qi Heng on the other side smiled, "That woman is not important, but she escaped, the landlord just grabbed it and disposed of it himself." ”
In Qi Heng's view, this is his sincerity.
After finishing speaking, Qi Heng obviously didn't want to talk more about Qi Yu (qíng), and then he changed the subject and said, "Landlord, then tell me why you care so much about the disaster victims?" ”
"I ......"
Qi Yu had just spoken, but was immediately interrupted by Qi Heng.
"I don't care what you're for, but I still have to advise the landlord not to cross the line."
When he said this, Qi Heng's face also had a disdainful expression (qíng).
"The eldest prince, I have a clever plan here, you really don't listen, as for what I want, the eldest prince will definitely give it."
Qi Yu still finished his words reluctantly, and then stood there indifferently, waiting for Qi Heng's answer.
Qian Bin, who hadn't spoken on the side, suddenly said to Qi Yu: "Landlord, it's okay." ”
After finishing speaking, Qian Bin made a gesture to ask Qi Yu to leave.
"Okay." Qi Yu didn't speak again, and turned (shēn) away.
What he can do is enough, and the rest depends on Qi Heng's own suspicions. In the end, how far can things be done (qíng).
After looking at the back of Qi Yu leaving, Qi Heng looked cold and said to Qian Bin next to him (shēn): "Qian Bin, what do you think?" ”
"The eldest prince is talking about Yinyue?"
"Nope." Qi Heng shook his head, "I'm not curious about what kind of person he is. ”
Qi Heng picked up the brush in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled, and then lowered his head and wrote a few big characters freely.
"How's it written?" Qi Heng looks like he has a good heart.
Qian Bin looked at it for a long time, "The pen is sharp, it is a good word." ”
But who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Heng on the side directly lowered his head and tore the paper apart.
His movements were extremely (qíng) and a little dissatisfied, and he did look angry.
"This is the word under the king of Chu (diàn), imitated for so many years, but I have learned the essence?"
As soon as he heard Qi Heng say this, Qian Bin's face instantly turned a little colder, and it seemed that Qi Heng was concerned about the struggle for power between himself and the king of Chu (diàn) (qíng).
"The Great Prince." Qian Bin called Qi Heng's name, but did not open his mouth to continue.
After half a ring, Qi Heng suddenly lowered his head and laughed, "Okay, let's go check." ”
Qian Bin looked at Qi Heng suspiciously, completely surprised by Qi Heng's change in attitude.
"The eldest prince, I haven't reported this matter to you yet, where to start." Qian Bin didn't know when he had gained Qi Heng's trust.
But who knows, Qi Heng didn't care and took out a piece of rice paper again, and wrote on it again.
After putting down the pen, Qi Heng said to Qian Bin with a faint smile: "You have done so many things (qíng) with my (shēn) son, and this prince is not a person who is unrighteous (qíng), so he can naturally see your intentions." ”
Hearing this, Qian Bin was overjoyed and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Heng: "Subordinate, thank you for the appreciation." ”
After finishing speaking, Qian Bin even deducted several heads. It can be seen that Qi Heng's words mean a lot to him.
"Tell me, since you want to tell me about your plans."
As he spoke, Qi Heng had already lowered his head and wrote a few big words on the rice paper again. It's just that this time the notes are scribbled, but I can no longer see the dignified and elegant meaning before.
Since he was a child, he has lived under the same expectations as Qi Yu, and in order to prove that he is indeed working as hard as him, he has also pursued hard, or imitated his own prince (diàn).
But in the end, he still had no way to hide his true self (xìng), and in the end, the best way to calm his heart was actually suitable for his incompatible way to survive in this Shura field of power.
Qian Bin here is seriously solving the problem, "The eldest prince, we can also solve the matter of disaster relief funds (qíng) ourselves, and we can leave this matter to our subordinates." ”
From the conversation just now, Qian Bin could tell that Qi Heng didn't want to cooperate with Yinyue. And the matter of disaster relief funds (qíng) is a headache for Qi Heng (qíng), so it is inevitable that he wants to use this as an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
After listening to Qian Bin's words, Qi Heng nodded, "How many days does it take?" ”
"Three days."
Seeing Qian Bin's sworn appearance, Qi Heng didn't say anything more, but simply instructed him to do it with confidence.
Qi Heng repeatedly instructed Qian Bin that the entire Great Prince's Mansion was behind him and could also be used as his support.
After settling all this, Qi Heng took a piece of letter again, he didn't know what was written on it with his head down, and after a while, the carrier pigeon landed next to the window, and he put the letter paper up.
At the same time, Qi Heng also received a letter.
Spread out the letterhead, it was the letter that Ming Guifei wrote to him. It is clearly written, because of the previous matter of King Nan (qíng), the court has already complained about him.
In other words, it is not appropriate for Qi Yu to come forward and do anything to offend everyone (qíng) now.
But these things (qíng) still have to be done by someone in the end, so Qi Heng can only find a so-called substitute ghost.
