Chapter Seventy-One: Spoiling
The table is full of meals at the moment, and if Jiang Liyue is used up alone, it is very unlikely that she will use it up alone, so she took some shrimp with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, and muttered vaguely: "But how can I eat it?" ”
Mu Yan smiled and picked out a piece of mushroom from it and handed it to her, Nunu's chin motioned for her to open her mouth: "I'll feed you, don't worry, anyway, it's idle time now." ”
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Liyue opened her mouth to swallow the mushroom, chewed for a while, and smiled again on her face, her apricot eyes seemed to contain autumn water: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that your trip really took a lot of time, and I have embroidered two new sets of summer clothes for you." ”
"Why don't you rest in your spare time? I used to hear my grandmother say that embroidering clothes takes the most time and energy, so aren't you afraid of embroidery? Mu Yan couldn't help but joke.
Jiang Liyue seriously held her jade cheeks and thought for a long time, then shook her head again: "Not really, and isn't it normal for women to do such things?" You're making a fuss. ”
Women are already good at doing such things, and Jiang Liyue feels that sewing clothes with silver needles is also a pastime in her spare time.
Mu Yan sensed her intentions, so he turned around a few times to avoid the original topic: "By the way, how is the situation in Kyoto these days?" Although I am in Jishu, I know a thing or two about the situation in Kyoto, but I am not here, so many things are actually only half-understood. ”
Jiang Liyue put down the jade hand of Zhengyun chopsticks and paused: "I knew that Lang Jun would ask this, you wait, I have already asked people to collect all the conditions in the past few days, and you wait for me to bring the treasure book." ”
Hearing the word "treasure book", Mu Yan was inevitably a little surprised: "Why are you so careful?" actually wrote a Rausch book by hand. ”
Jiang Liyue was tiptoeing through the shelves behind the screen, and when she heard what he said, she turned her head: "After all, I have to be free, in addition to dealing with daily affairs in the house, I can only find my own pastime." ”
"Anyway, I can solve it for Lang Jun, which can be regarded as a supreme merit, Lang Jun should first see if what I do is in line with your wishes."
After rummaging for a long time, Jiang Liyue took down a booklet that looked like a book from the middle layer, and walked calmly to Mu Yan's side, with hope on his face, but his tone was calm: "But if there is something you don't do well, you should be more considerate, after all, I don't really have much insight into these political affairs." ”
Nowadays, if a woman is too familiar with government affairs, it is really not a thing to be thankful, Mu Yan knows that Jiang Liyue actually knows a little bit about political affairs, but she looks like she doesn't know anything on her face.
He tapped the table with his fingertips, picked up the booklet that Jiang Liyue handed to him and flipped through it, Jiang Liyue saw the origin he saw, so he only waited for him to express his specific opinions.
Although the booklet is not heavy, the content in it is very detailed, and almost all the private actions of the various factions in Kyoto during his departure are recorded in the book as long as they do not escape her eyes, Mu Yan looked at it very carefully.
When he reached the end of the page, he sighed, Jiang Liyue saw that he had finished reading, and hurriedly pulled him and asked, "How is it, does it help you?" It took a lot of work to sort out this booklet. ”
Mu Yan placed the booklet on the table, reached out and took her into his arms, pillowed his head on her abdomen, and paused for a while before saying, "Thank you for your hard work, how can you pay attention to the dispute between the King of the Great Liang Domain?" ”
Jiang Liyue pondered for a long time and found a reasonable reason: "It makes sense, I just kept my thoughts, after all, now is the time of events, and my Mu Mansion also has to grab some things to protect myself, but Lang Jun is not worried, I didn't make a big deal about it when I investigated the things in the booklet." ”
Although he didn't make a big deal about it, he was inevitably observed by people in the shadows, and now that the situation is half-clear, it is not easy for him to make a decision on the spot.
Jiang Liyue's thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously, and she came back to her senses for a while: "By the way, Lang Jun's trip to Jizhou is still smooth?" When I went there last time, I thought the terrain was quite special, so it must have been a very difficult trip, right? ”
"It's okay, maybe I'm used to it, so I haven't felt too much, but I've finally completed the task assigned by the saints."
Jiang Chen had already had a lot of thoughts about Mu Mansion, but whenever there was the slightest chance to trap Mu Mansion in an unrighteous place, he would spare no effort, but this time he never thought that he would miscalculate again.
The surface of the Mu Mansion is peaceful, but the Qin Mansion is not.
Qin Yinghan originally hugged Mu Yan and would die in Jizhou, but he never thought that he would escape three or two times, and the dead soldiers sent immediately rushed back to Qin Mansion from the dark passage after he missed.
The dead man's whole body was lying on the front hall of the Qin family, but his voice was a little resolute: "Master, I underestimated him, and now I haven't fulfilled my master's wishes, I deserve to die to apologize." ”
Qin Yinghan, who was originally in a state of anger, was even more furious when he heard these words, although he had a smile on his face, but the dead man clearly saw the coldness in it, and sure enough, he said in an instant: "Since you know that you should apologize with death, how dare you appear in front of me intact, and the rest of the people?" ”
After all, the assassination was already difficult, even if the dead man was skilled, Qin Yinghan could not let him go alone, at first he also sent a bunch of elite soldiers and strong generals, but he never thought that he was the only one left in the end.
The dead man and the rest of the people robbed and killed Mu Yan in the ravine at that time, and he didn't have the intention of succeeding, but he never thought that it would be as he thought, and he really missed and let Mu Yan take the opportunity to escape.
However, this trip was not without gain, he paused, and tentatively spoke: "But master, when I went out on this trip, I found that although that Mu Gongzi was gentle and elegant on the face, he was obviously not as weak as rumored. ”
Qin Yinghan patiently said goodbye, not wanting to listen to his thoughts, and said concisely: "What did you find?" ”
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the dead man immediately picked out the key points he saw that day: "Last time, I remembered that Gongzi asked me to pay attention to this son's swordsmanship, and I paid special attention to it at that time, and he did not show up along the way in Jizhou. ”
"But when I assassinated him in a mask that day, I was clearly sure that he was not without kung fu skills, but he didn't show it on ordinary days."
The corners of Qin Yinghan's lips pulled slightly and a mocking smile curled: "Then according to what you can see, is his swordsmanship above me?" ”
Isn't this just like putting a sword against his neck, the dead man has a life in mind, and he naturally concludes that his kung fu is above Mu Yan, but he didn't actually see him show all his skills that day.
"Actually, Mu Gongzi's swordsmanship that day was really average." Qin Yinghan bowed slightly, and Nunu chin motioned for him to continue: "It's just that he was poisoned by me that day, and he was able to decisively cut his wrists and bleed, I guess he must have a certain understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”
"The most important thing is that he is very familiar with the way he holds the sword, if he hadn't practiced it before, he might not be able to be so decisive, after all, he was injured on his body."
It is incomprehensible that a person who has never practiced martial arts can have such courage.
Qin Yinghan heard some clues from it, and his original desire to let the dead apologize for their sins with death was put away, after all, there is still a lot of use in leaving the dead now.
He pondered for a long time, and then raised his hand to signal the dead man to get up, and when he stood in front of him, Qin Yinghan spoke: "Anyway, now that the Mu Mansion is keeping an eye on me, maybe he is already proficient in swordsmanship, and such a person is hiding so deeply, it is inevitable that he has another purpose." ”
The dead man has been walking the rivers and lakes with Qin Yinghan for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to believe that there is nothing deep hidden under Mu Yan's decisive temperament.
It's just that he didn't dare to talk nonsense until many were confirmed.
After listening to the dead man's analysis, Qin Yinghan's original anger had already dropped a few points, he glanced at the broken vase fragments everywhere on the ground, and scolded: "Why don't you clean up the front hall and get out of here, you can't even fight a person who has no skills, and I will raise you with my money for nothing?" If you miss again, don't come back. ”
The dead man was pardoned, and he was a little surprised for a while, and only after a while did he kowtow again and again: "Thank you Gongzi for giving me this opportunity, you can rest assured, next time I will definitely carefully collect information about the situation in the Mu Mansion." ”
"What else have you found besides the methods of the time?" Qin Yinghan remembered that the poisoning method learned by this dead man was something that many people could not imitate, and the antidote was naturally more difficult to find, if it wasn't for the fact that he cut his veins and bled in advance at that time, I am afraid it would be difficult to save his life.
The dead man was only one step away from success, and on his way back he recalled the situation countless times, but he never noticed anything unusual in it: "The rest of the things are really not unusual, but the time was too short, and he guessed that he was hiding his skills, and I will definitely find another time to test his skills." ”
is worthy of being a dead soldier he has raised for a long time, and in the end he has figured out his style, and even his style of acting has long been clear.
"Alright, things have come to this point, and it's useless to say anything more now, so don't let me down."
At that time, when Qin Yinghan sent the mission, he had already thought that it was impossible for Mu Yan to retreat with his whole body, but he never thought that something would go wrong halfway, and he let Mu Yan escape easily and did not find out more about it, which inevitably put his side in a passive situation.
Although Mu Yan was seriously injured now, it was the weakest moment of his body, but Xiang Qing and Yuan Qing guarding beside him were strong in martial arts and had exquisite thoughts one by one, and it was almost impossible to succeed easily.
After Qin Yinghan explained the follow-up matters to the dead man, he sent him to retreat, and he stayed in the front hall to think about the follow-up development.
Qin Zhi returned from the imperial court, and when he passed by the front hall, he saw Qin Yinghan with a stunned face, and thought that something was wrong, and his face was inevitably a little anxious: "What's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? I said you can't do what you want. ”
"What are you thinking about, Prime Minister? It's just that I can't think of some things clearly, and it makes you think that I have other plans, and you really put a high hat on me. ”
Qin Yinghan responded to him with obvious nonchalance.
Qin Zhi still had the matter in his heart that he had brought down in the court, and he was too lazy to compete with him for a while, but he raised his fingertips and pointed at him: "You, you..." and then shook his head to himself: "Forget it, I can't delay what is going on, if you have an idea, you can do it yourself." ”
"But don't be too out of line, after all, the relationship has to be maintained."
Regarding Qin Zhi's reminder, Qin Yinghan probably just went in and out of his left ear, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
