"The Imperial City Division is still afraid of offending people and dying?" Ye Qing took a sip of the teacup.

Tao Qian sighed lightly with a worried expression, looked at Ye Qing, who seemed to be smiling, and said: "You have been in the position of the commander of the Imperial City Division for a long time, and you must be very clear about the intricate interpersonal relationships in the officialdom." Looking at the high-ranking officials in various state capitals, which one does not have a prominent family background or backstage behind it? Although the Imperial City Division was already doing the work of offending people, it ...... This time, judging from the old man, he is still in Lin'an. ”

"Something to do with King Shin?" Ye Qing's index finger only tapped on the table.

"The old man doesn't know." Tao Qian returned to a somewhat cynical appearance, and the meaning of wanting benefits in his expression was felt by even the blind at this moment.

Ye Qing looked at Tao Qian quietly, thinking about Tao Qian's words in his mind, Princess Xin would return to Jiankang once a year before the Yuan Day, this ...... Shouldn't there be any special intentions, right? Or is Zhong Qing, a woman, not as simple as she knows?

Now the royal family in Lin'an has been passed through by Ye Qing in his mind, and the suspicious person is Zhao Ruyu and ...... in addition to King Xin. Zhao Kai, King of Wei.

The timing of Zhao Kai's return, originally thought that the royal family was recalled because the Yuan Day was approaching, but now it seems that it is very likely that it is not as simple as it seems.

Zhao Ruyu is in Chengdu Mansion all the year round, so his connections and so on should be mainly based on Lizhou Road and Chengdu Fu Road, and the possibility of reaching out to Jiangnan East Road will be very high?

Zhao Kai, the king of Wei, has been on a mission in Mingzhou, the seat of Qingyuan Mansion, and has just received the reward of the saint, so he should not move the place at this time, and he wants to run to this Jiankang.

The night on the banks of the Qinhuai River in front of you is charming, and the sparkling water reflects the bright lanterns on the boats and the shadows of the brightly lit houses and buildings on the riverbank.

Pedestrians are weaving, teahouses and wines are boiling, and warblers and swallows are dancing from the windows from time to time floating on the surface of the Qinhuai River, competing with the quietly docked painting boats, attracting more guests to come and enjoy themselves.

The sound of adults talking on the street, the noise of children is mixed in it, and from time to time there will be carriages and sedan chairs passing by, hurrying to the road, making Jiankang peaceful and prosperous at night.

Mo Xiaobao hurriedly ran to the place where Ye Qing was waiting not far from the Vermilion Bird Pontoon, and said with a smile in his eyes: "The old guy can't bear it, so he will chase him from behind." ”

Ye Qing smiled, pointed to the place where the shops and inns gathered on the opposite side of the Qinhuai River, and said, "Cross the bridge and ask, is there any news from the military judgment." ”

"Okay, then you can continue to wait here for a while, the old guy has turned around from the mouth of the alley." Mo Xiaobao and Ye Qing repeated the traces of Tao Qian, and then took three steps and made two steps, and quickly jumped onto the Vermilion Bird Pontoon Bridge and walked towards the umbrella shop on the other side of the Qinhuai River.

The weather shrouded in the night is still a little cold, even the beautiful scenery of the peaceful and prosperous world in front of him can't resist the cold temperature in winter, Ye Qing turned his head and frowned, looked at Tao Qian, who was chasing this side not far away, pointed to the wine shop next to him, and then took the lead and walked in.

Tao Qian, who was panting slightly along the stairs, walked up to the second floor quickly, looked at Ye Qing, who had just finished ordering the guys to serve wine and food, and sat on the chair opposite unceremoniously, and snorted: "You are not interesting enough, this is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, you are!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Qing rolled his eyelids, and just after pouring himself a glass of wine, the wine jug was snatched by Tao Qian, and he kept sniffing it on the tip of his nose.

"Such a good wine? The old man hasn't drunk such a good wine for a long time, man, take another wine cup and a pair of chopsticks, hurry. Tao Qian ignored Ye Qing's question, stretched out his hand to stop the guy, and shouted to the guy in a suppressed voice.

"Do you care so much about image?" Ye Qing looked at Tao Qian with interest and asked.

"The old man has not been discovered for so many years, relying on his usual caution." Tao Qian glanced at Ye Qing angrily.

The eunuch's voice is relatively sharp, and if he shouts loudly in a crowded wine shop, he is very likely to be discovered by someone with a heart, so over the years, Tao Qian has become accustomed to speaking loudly with his voice suppressed on weekdays, and would rather make his voice more difficult to hear, rather than have a voice too thin to attract the attention of others.

"Then don't worry, I won't leak your whereabouts to anyone." Ye Qing looked at Tao Qian's enjoyment of pouring himself a drink, as if he hadn't drunk wine for many years.

"It's good wine, it's really good wine." Tao Qian closed his eyes and tasted the wine in his mouth, and sighed with a happy face.

"You haven't drunk alcohol in eight years?" This time it was Ye Qing's turn to be puzzled.

"No, no, no, my life is nine lifetimes." Tao Qian replied regardless of what he said.

After drinking several cups in a row, until the small wine pot was empty, Tao Qian beckoned for another pot before he spoke: "I said Commander Ye, are you too unparticular?" After inquiring from me, he didn't say a word of thanks, and just left? The Imperial City Division is ruthless and ruthless to others, but it has always been ...... to its own people. ”

"I'm even more ruthless to myself. You didn't tell me anything, so why should I say thank you? Ye Qing put down the wine cup and asked for a while: "Could it be that you chased it out just for a thank you?" ”

"You...... I didn't say it explicitly, but did I do my best to remind you? Tao Qian looked at Ye Qing, who didn't admit his account, and regretted that he was in the mansion just now, he was a little too greedy, if he should be happy, maybe he would be able to earn a lot of silver, and he wouldn't have to grind his teeth with him now.

Of course, Tao Qian didn't expect that he just mentioned a few words slightly, and didn't even answer positively, the young man in front of him actually guessed it, and then turned around and left, not giving himself the slightest chance to bargain.

Just when Ye Qing was bargaining with this cynical Tao Qian, one wanted to blackmail the Imperial City Division for a little money, and the other even wanted the old Imperial City Division to pay for the wine, the Jiankang Prefect had already sent someone to the post house where the Imperial City Division was located.

Wu Juan and Zhao Qi'er met with the people sent by Li Mengjian, the prefect of Jiankang, and the people who came were obviously not coming for the two of them, and the red gilded invitation in his hand was intended to be handed to Ye Qing.

When he heard that Ye Qing did not arrive at Jiankang with him, but would arrive in a few days, a trace of distrust instantly appeared on the face of the person who came.

But looking at the sincere appearance of the military judge and Zhao Qi'er, and even the generous appearance of letting them enter the various rooms of the post house to search, the hearts of the people who came began to be shaken for a while, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Is it wrong?

"Then I wonder when Commander Ye will arrive tomorrow? This is an invitation from Governor Li to invite Commander Ye as a guest and wash the dust for Commander Ye, I don't know ....... The person who came had a smile on his face, his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, the invitation in his hand just shook, and he didn't plan to give the invitation directly to the military judge and Zhao Qi'er in front of him.

"It's not good to say this, Commander Ye has never liked others to know his whereabouts, and as subordinates, we naturally don't want to ask too much." Wu Juan said with a smile.

The person who came looked disappointed, and in a few simple words, the people of the Imperial City Division answered without leakage, which made him not even have room for speculation: Is Ye Qing hiding and disappearing, or is it really not Jiankang yet?

Of course, the suspicion in his heart can only be the suspicion of the Imperial City Division, and he will not doubt his boss's words that Ye Qing has arrived in Jiankang with all his words and words, and he is even convinced.

The person who came with the invitation card said that in order to show that Governor Li valued Commander Ye, he would come over tomorrow with an invitation card to invite Commander Ye.

The person who walked out while saying politely stayed and stayed, but when he turned around, he saw that the two people from the Imperial City Division didn't even move, so after laughing awkwardly, he walked out of the post house with his entourage in embarrassment.

"Do you want to tell Ye Dutou about this?" Zhao Qi'er frowned, and her triangular eyes were full of solemnity.

"Sure enough, as the commander expected, we just entered this post house, and someone immediately came to send an invitation, Jiankang is not far from Lin'an, and it is reasonable to be well-informed, but why is Li Mengjian so anxious?" The military judgment has always been obsessed, he has been here for several days, and he knows everything about the open and secret battles between some generals in the army, but he is still confused about the affairs of Jiankang officialdom, which makes him feel that he has failed the important task entrusted to him by Ye Qing.

Of course, I am also extremely uncomfortable with the behavior of Jiankang officialdom to watch people put down dishes.

Ye Qing hasn't appeared yet, it's just that there is a rumor that he will arrive in Jiankang, and the Jiankang officialdom immediately heard the news, and the invitation card chased the convoy and immediately sent it to the post house, it was like he followed all the way from Lin'an.

"It's not surprising, which of these people in the officialdom doesn't have a background behind him to match the official position?" Zhao Qi'er sneered and said.

Wu Juan naturally knew that Zhao Qi'er was referring to Li Mengjian, the prefect of Jiankang, but he didn't know, did this Li Mengjian really have such hands and eyes? But after thinking about it, after Ye Heng was deposed, Li Mengjian almost immediately took office, and the imperial court, which has always been lazy, was extremely resolute in employing people this time, and even made people wonder if it had been planned a long time ago, just waiting for Ye Heng to be dismissed, and then he immediately took office.

After the people sent by Li Mengjian came to the post house with invitations in hand, Wu Juan and Zhao Qi'er then met with seven or eight people with invitations from their own families and came to the post house, all of which invited Ye Qing to the banquet and received him for the invitation.

After sending off the last group of people, the military judge sat on the chair a little tiredly, and sighed for a long time: "Damn, when did the Imperial City Division become a leaky yamen, how come everyone knows that the Imperial City Division has arrived in Jiankang?" ”

"It's not surprising, since we have escorted Princess Xin all the way, it will be difficult to conceal her whereabouts." Zhao Qi'er held the teacup and continued after thinking: "It's no wonder why Ye Du was separated from us as soon as he entered the city. ”

"Who the hell is leaking the news? Faith King? Wu Juan asked puzzled.

"Why not the palace?" Zhao Qi'er pointed out.

Wu Juan was stunned for a moment, and instantly remembered that he came to Jiankang along the vine, didn't that mean...... Someone has already discovered you?
