Chapter II. 10. Old friends reunite
"I went to the inn first, it was Fu Yi who told me that you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Also, why is the other guy who is a little skinny prouder than me? What is your origin? ”
Shen Gui smiled and patted Yan Qinghong's shoulder:
"You two have different reasons to be arrogant. He is innate, you are acquired. Okay, let's not talk about him first, what are you two looking for me? ”
Yan Qinghong pursed his lips, pointed to Tie Li'er who was smiling beside him and said:
"This aunt is worried about his stepfather and wants to inquire with you."
Shen Gui looked at the iron-clad righteous daughter carefully. When she was in trouble in Zhongshan Palace, Tiejia had the intention to take her with her, but she stubbornly wanted to stay in Fengjing City. No matter what, she said, someone had to be left to guard the portal. But Tiejia pushed Guo Yunsong, and as soon as the two of them walked out of the city gate, Yin Wei Anheng of Fengjing Mansion came to seal the mansion with the officials. Just when Tie Li'er gritted her teeth and looked at those tigers and wolves and sealed her new home, Yan Qinghong also happened to come here. In this way, the two watched together as the gate of the Zhongshan Palace's mansion was pasted with the imperial seal.
Yan Qinghong proposed to send Tie Li'er to Qingshan City, the capital of Zhongshan. But Tie Li'er said:
"My father Deng died at the hands of your Yan family, and my mother was also martyred. Now that I finally got a new home, I flew into trouble again. I don't want to run away anymore, no matter what, I want to be in this Fengjing City and see with my own eyes what will happen to them in the end. I live, and I will see for myself; When I die, I see it with my soul. ”
After that, Yan Qinghong arranged for the former Deng Li'er and the Hongluan of the Green Willow Building, which is now Tie Li'er, to live in one of his own houses. Until today......
At this time, Tie Li'er circled around Shen Gui, and after looking carefully, she spoke:
"I've gotten taller, I've lost some weight, and I don't seem to have suffered any sin. In this way, the life of the old prince and his father-in-law will not be too sad. ”
"That's nature, now they should have gone out of the northern territory, and they will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to raise for a while. If you want to go, I'll send you to the Iron Armor for a reunion after my matter is over in a few days. ”
Tie Li'er smiled and shook her head:
"I am an unknown person, and everyone close to me is in a different place, or my family is ruined. You have personally verified this. ”
Shen Gui smiled and pointed, standing beside Tie Li'er, Yan Qinghong with a nervous expression:
"You don't want to restrain my grandfather, and you don't want to restrain your father-in-law's iron armor, this is naturally no problem. But did he provoke you? Originally, his identity as the second prince was already wanted by someone to ......"
Speaking of this, Shen Gui felt a little speechless, so he didn't continue to speak. Tie Li'er's face turned red, and she said with some hesitation:
He ...... He...... He's not like you. He is the Yan family, and our Deng family and the Yan family have a blood feud that they share the sky. I...... I had to kill him with my own hands before I could be reconciled. Speak, I'm done asking, I'm going back. ”
After saying a few words that were obviously insincere, Tie Li'er fled for her life and left. Yan Qinghong, who was looking at her departing back, was still babbling Shen Gui in his mouth:
"It's all your fault, she hasn't talked about it much lately. If you ignore me in this anger, I'll have to ask you ......."
Shen Gui squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Qinghong, the new seed of infatuation:
"Go and get a bronze mirror and show yourself what kind of virtue you are now. I don't know anything about women......"
When Yan Qinghong heard this, he pointed at Shen Gui and laughed:
"I don't understand women? You inquire about my Yan Qinghong's name. Who doesn't know that I'm the number one high roller in Bongmyungseong? From the street to the end of the street in the North Market, which old bustard in the Qinglou will not know the name of the master? ”
"Did you know anyone who didn't spend any money?"
"Phew, is that a human thing? The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and there are two kinds of debts that cannot be owed, one is gambling debts and the other is prostitution debts. Although I, Yan Qinghong, am a prince, even if I am the king of heaven, I have to pay for the hall! ”
“…… Why do you mention Qinglou as if you have been beaten with chicken blood? I mean, have you ever known a woman from a good family? ”
"Why not? Tie Li'er, isn't she? Whether it's her Deng Mansion or your Guo Mansion, it's a first-class good family! ”
"Okay, even if my sister Hongluan was redeemed from the Green Willow Building, I would consider her a woman from a good family......"
"What do you mean? It's ......"
"Anything else?"
It was a hot scene, but when Shen Gui asked the last sentence, it suddenly froze. After a long time, Yan Qinghong, who came out of the state of thinking, shook his head with a pale face.
"Well, that's why I said you don't understand women. My sister Tie Li'er is not angry with you at all, but blames herself for not being angry, and at the same time, she is just a little shy of her daughter's family. ”
"You mean, she's kind of interesting to me too?"
"Huh? I thought you, the second prince, were really two. ”
Yan Qinghong looked at himself stupidly, and it didn't take long for him to glare at Shen Gui suddenly:
"I originally thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect to know better than me about the mentality of my daughter's family. Say, "How many good women have you ruined?" ”
", get down to business, I'll have something else to do later."
When Yan Qinghong heard the word 'business', he couldn't help but look stunned, and then dusted the soil on the steps behind him with the sleeve of his robe and sat down.
"Some time ago, the armies of Beiyan and Mobei Grassland attacked Dongyou, you know?" After Shen Gui sat down, he nodded slightly. "Do you know why they didn't see each other for a while, and then they retreated?"
Shen Gui scratched his head:
"What do you mean by this? I don't have an official or a position at the moment, and my grandfather's Guo family was also wiped out by your Yan family, and this matter is not something I can get involved in. ”
"Beiyan Chen Bing is in the East Customs, he should have gotten the news in advance that his father and Li Deng have joined forces and want to get rid of your Guo family. They are sure that your Guo family has been in charge of the army for many years, and the prestige in the army is very high, so naturally they will not suffer this dumb loss. When your Guo family raises troops, he Beiyan will go out of the customs in a big way, taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters; No matter who wins the two families, it is inevitable that they will pay compensation for land cession. However, what is more important than silver is that once Beiyan takes the East Customs, the entire Youbei Third Road will be opened, and there will be no natural danger to defend, and it will become the fat that Beiyan can eat at any time. ”
"And this Mobei grassland people are extremely simple. Beiyan only promised them that if they took Guanbei in the future, they could open a trade route from Mobei to Beiyan, and then open the trade market to them. They didn't expect much from this hand, but just wanted to form a two-sided attack, forcing us to be unable to take care of both the north and the south, inducing us to divide our troops, and at the same time, reducing the pressure that Beiyan himself would face. ”
After Shen Gui listened to his words, he still said impatiently: "You said this, even if it has nothing to do with you, the second prince who has no power and power, right?" ”
Yan Qinghong said with a pale face:
"This has nothing to do with you and me. But do you know why the Mobei Grassland retreated first? It was the father who sent the Bolmu Khan of the Mobei grassland to the Mobei grassland, promising to make peace with heavy profits. At the same time as presenting gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass and ordnance, he also sent a princess and relatives. In this way, first Bormu Khan withdrew from the army, and Beiyan saw that you Guo Jiasheng swallowed his grievances, so naturally there were no more fighters, so he retreated. Unexpectedly, in this dark war, it was the inconspicuous Mobei that ultimately profited. ”
Shen Gui knocked on Yan Qinghong's head:
"The big guys have their own big guys to do, what I asked earlier was, what do these have to do with you and me?"
Yan Qinghong looked at Shen Gui with a wry smile, stretched out a finger and pointed at his nose:
"Your brother and I were designated by my father to send off my relatives. The grassland people have always been unfaithful, and this time it must be more than auspicious. My father is really a good calculation to kill two birds with one stone: a kiss not only avoided the disaster of the sword soldiers, but also solved me by the way. You know, I am the biggest hidden danger on the road to the throne of the imperial brother. ”
"Right now, Ba Ge and I are also on the verge of breaking out, and in a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to escort you to the grassland and kiss!"
Yan Qinghong's eyes lit up:
"It's not impossible to wait a few days!"
