Chapter 11: Wait and see
Although everyone tacitly did not do anything, but everyone on the side of Qinglong Mountain remained vigilant all night, and finally it was almost dawn, thinking that they could take a rest, and many people came to the door with gifts to ask for a meeting, and they quarreled for the order of order, and even some people fought, and finally had to dispatch the imperial city guards to persuade these visitors back one by one and guard around the post house.
was really sleepy, Jiang Xunxue put down the dishes and chopsticks, and just wanted to go back to the house to rest and rest, when he saw the attendants of the post house hurriedly coming in to say that the general and the second prince were visiting. Jiang Xunxue rolled her eyes, pulled Miao Yeqing and was about to go out. Jiang Zhongkun scolded lightly, "It's not like a girl at all, it's not a proper system", tapped his fingers on the table twice, and asked the attendant to go back to the visitor, saying that he was unwell in the past few days, and he would definitely have the opportunity to have a drink with the general in the coming days.
After the attendant replied, the second prince jumped like thunder, grabbed him, and just wanted to do it, but was stopped by the general, and then the general appeased the attendant twice, and then dragged the second prince into the carriage, but the poor attendant was so frightened that he did not come back to his senses until the carriage had gone far away. The second prince on the carriage looked angry, he took the initiative to ask to see a husband in the rivers and lakes, and he was even sent away by the reason that he knew was an excuse when he heard it, and Jiang Zhongkun completely ignored him in his words, so how could he swallow this breath. And the grandfather of the second prince, Hou Haofan, the first general of the Jin Kingdom, sat on the other side with a thoughtful look.
"This time we were reckless." Hou Haofan said.
"Grandpa, he's just a reckless man in the mountains, and he is so ignorant of lifting, why do you say that we are reckless?" Cheng Ningqian saw that Hou Haofan's expression was a little solemn, and asked puzzled.
"Ning'er, don't you know, my Houmen family was originally just an ordinary official eunuch in Daxing, and I couldn't get any core or confidential information at all. Although we followed the first emperor to make great contributions to the Jin Kingdom, we have never been able to integrate into the big families that have long been rooted here. Hou Haofan's tone was a little regretful.
"With our current status in the Jin Kingdom, do we still have to look at the faces of those families?" Cheng Ningqian said disdainfully.
"Definitely. There are secrets that are known only to the big families, and this information is only passed down from generation to generation within these families, and sometimes, some news has a crucial impact on a family or even a country. We can't underestimate the owner of this Qinglong Mountain, but we can only get a glimpse of everything about him about Qinglong Mountain. ”
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Wait." Hou Haofan paused, and then said: "Everyone in the world knows the legends and responsibilities of Qinglong Mountain, but most of them are unilaterally passed down by Qinglong Mountain, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, or it may be true, but there must be a very important part that has been deliberately hidden. We can only wait and see what happens. Your mother's concubine suddenly heard the news today that someone did it on purpose, and you must keep a low profile after you return to the palace, and you must not mention this matter. ”
"Okay, I listened to my grandfather and mother."
"Qinglong Mountain is so mysterious, we really didn't consider it on this trip, you may be used by someone with a heart to make a fuss, and discuss with your mother and concubine about how to deal with it when you go back. Also, tell your mother that this time we are in a hurry, and we must not act rashly until we find out the situation. ”
While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the General's Mansion, and Cheng Ningqian returned to the palace after saying goodbye.
At the same time, the news of Cheng Ningqian's visit to Jiang Zhongkun was also reported back to their respective masters by various spies.
"Interesting, I heard that this Hou Guifei and General Hou have been cautious and cautious step by step because of their poor foundation, this time they got some news and couldn't wait, aren't they afraid that Emperor Wu of Jin will be suspicious." Jiang Wei smiled evilly, picked up a fruit and threw it into his mouth.
"The news from the palace should be directed at Jiang Zhongkun's daughter." The young man in brocade clothes sitting on Jiang Wei's right said.
Jiang Wei's smile froze for a moment, and he said, "Idiot! ”
"Can I tell you that 'idiot' is a bit of a taste." The young man teased.
"Hmph, how is that possible?"
The young man stared at Jiang Wei's face for a while, and said with a straight face: "I can remind you that my brother still has to settle accounts, not to mention that it is not me who can settle accounts with you now, it is the old man in my family who is not profitable and can't afford to be early, you should consider his proposal first." As for the girl, her wise and martial father doesn't know what to do. ”
Jiang Wei waved his hand a little unnaturally and said, "You think too much, I don't have that mind now, as for your father's proposal, I will consider it." By the way, the people who reported the other two countries before the spies also sneaked in, among them there were people who seemed to be not low, I didn't care about it, but that day they all disguised themselves as each other to inquire about the master's line, it seems that this group of people is second to the Jin Kingdom this time, and it is true that they came to the holy relics. You stare a little more these days. I'm curious to see how they're going to play when they've already revealed their ambitions. ”
"You take care of yourself first." Looking at Jiang Yi's eyes, the young man was silent, and Jiang Wei smiled when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, the second prince went to Qiwu Palace after returning to the palace." After Yuan Xi put on new tea for Emperor Wu of Jin, he replied to the news that had just come while grinding ink.
"yes, got it." Emperor Wu of Jin fixed his eyes on the notebook as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he asked, "You recently sorted out the news sent back by the secret agent, can there be any information about the envoys of various countries?" ”
Yuan Xi put down the graphite and immediately replied: "Yes, the slave is planning to return." ”
"I have to remind you several times a year that you don't have to be called a slave in private. Say, what's the situation? ”
"After we replied to the credentials, the countries decided to make envoys, and their status was not low. The envoy of Zhongshan was the son of Xiangguo and was the general of the auxiliary state, and the Qin State was rumored to be a young and promising prime minister to visit. ”
"What do you mean?" Emperor Wu of Jin was puzzled.
"Daxingguo originally set the candidate to be the son of the Marquis of Changping, but I heard that this little marquis is merry by nature, good at fun, and often his whereabouts are unknown, this time he has been missing for a few days, and Daxingguo may send envoys again."
"Is it missing or is it early in the morning? As soon as the spring hunt was over, the countries immediately handed over their credentials, and the news was so well-informed that it was difficult to guarantee that they were not involved in this matter. You said that you will go back and forth to find out the whereabouts of the envoys, why, these envoys are missing? Emperor Wu of Jin looked sideways at Yuan Xi and asked.
"No, because the envoys from all countries set out from the capital, the road is far away and the day of the big birthday is close at hand, the candidates must have chosen a congratulatory gift and set off for the imperial city. But our men are lost. ”
