Chapter 42: Night Talk of Mountains and Seas

After chatting for a while, Yucheng stopped the locomotive and came over, standing quietly beside Zhou Zhengxiong.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Zhou Zhengxiong looked at the sky and found that it was dusk.

"Yes, the slave and maid will go and let the carriage come, and Your Majesty will wait here for a while." Saying that, Yucheng was about to take out the utensils for building the zero-hour pavilion from the storage ring, and prepared to let Zhou Zhengxiong rest here for a while.

"You don't have to do this, you go and inform the accompanying guards to return to the city on their own, and I will return to the city in my new imperial chariot." Zhou Zhengxiong waved his hand and smiled.

"Yes, slave and maid." Yucheng heard what the emperor said, so he promised to make arrangements.

Seeing Ling Yu and the others looking at him, Zhou Zhengxiong smiled and said: "It's getting late now, you shouldn't meet anyone on the road for a while, hehe, even if someone sees it, what's the matter, I am the Son of Heaven, some novel things are not strange." ”

When Ling Yu thought about it, he was relieved, the emperor was using it alone, and no one dared to inquire about the emperor when he saw it, even if the Zhao family was blatantly investigating the emperor.

"What my father-in-law said is very true, but at this time, the appearance of the locomotive does not conform to the royal bearing, and my father-in-law will have to send someone to decorate it in the future so that it can be used as a royal chariot." Ling Yu suggested.

"Well, what the virtuous son-in-law said is very true, I will arrange it." Zhou Zhengxiong said with a smile, Zhou Shaobin on the side was half dead with envy, but his father had no point in speaking by his side.

Soon, Yu Cheng returned, and Ling Yu didn't let Yu Cheng drive again, after all, he had just learned, and he had to practice for a long time to rest assured.

Everyone got on the car again, Ling Yu carried everyone, galloping towards Jinling City, the locomotive is the locomotive, the speed is incomparable to the carriage, very fast, then carried everyone back to Jinling City, and then under the escort of the guards, slowly drove to the palace.

Naturally, there were curious and surprised eyes on the road, but seeing that it was the emperor's honor guard, no one dared to approach to ask or point fingers.

After Zhou Zhengxiong returned to the palace, he asked Ling Yu and the two to go back, Ling Yu told Yucheng again, let him practice diligently, and then nagged Zhou Zhengxiong about precautions, Zhou Zhengxiong was not a little impatient, his heart was still warm, after all, his son-in-law was so nervous about him, he had been the emperor for many years, and he had not been given a trace of warmth for a long time, the children were afraid of him and respected him, not to mention the ministers, and it was also Zhou Zhengxiong's luck to meet such an anomaly as Ling Yu.

Coming out of the palace, the two of them are also tired for a day today, especially Zhou Shaobin, who played with the harvester for so long, and then took the locomotive, and his spirit has been in a state of excitement.

Qinglongfang, Zhao Zhengkang's mansion, Zhao Zhengkang is sitting in the study, listening to the people below.

"You mean that the emperor returned to the palace by a strange thing today? Do you see what it is? Zhao Zhengkang asked, he was naturally very concerned about the emperor's every move.

"Lord Hui, my subordinates can't get close, it's dark, and with the help of the surrounding lights, I can only roughly see that it seems to be an iron car, and it can move without pulling a horse." The spy reported.

"What kind of moth is the emperor doing? Wouldn't it be some secret weapon? Zhao Zhengkang thought to himself.

"Go down and send someone to ask Qian Shangshu to come over to the house." Zhou Zhengxiong pondered for a while.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The spy respectfully answered the order and stepped back.

After a short time, Qian Xunyan arrived in Zhao Zhengkang's study, Zhao Zhengkang invited him to sit down, and then let his subordinates serve tea and said: "Lord Qian, today the spies came to report, the emperor went to Huangzhuang It seems that he is testing new things, because the Huangzhuang is heavily guarded, they can't get close, and then after the emperor left, he sent two thousand guards to guard Huangzhuang, I'm afraid that there are any secrets in it We don't know, the official is very uneasy, I'm afraid it's not that kid surnamed Ling who got some new weapons, right?" "For the rifle that Ling Yu made, Zhao Zhengkang was apprehensive.

"Also, when the emperor returned to the city, it seemed that he took this kind of iron car, and he didn't need to pull a horse, he would run, and the spies couldn't get close to investigate, alas, when did the situation become like this, we seem to be more and more unable to see the emperor's every move, this is a crisis." Zhao Zhengkang paused and said.

"Lord Zhao, the official thinks that we shouldn't mess with ourselves, the Academy of Sciences can't splash water, but the palace and the imperial village are relatively easy to get the news, and they will send people to the palace and the imperial village to investigate in a while, and there will be some results in a few days." Although Qian Xunyan was also a little worried about whether Ling Yu had come up with a new weapon, he was still relatively calm, after all, it was the Zhao family who suffered a big loss, and he didn't feel much about it.

"Oh yes, yesterday the summoner sent by the grandfather of the country has arrived, saying that he is going to ask the Beihu to get rid of Ling Yu, but Mr. Yan has not sent back the news, and it is unknown whether it will be successful or not." Zhao Zhengkang said, Beihu naturally refers to Mu Qingfang, and Qian Xunyan naturally knew about the things back then, this was something planned by the two of them. Zero Zero Book House

Qian Xunyan said happily in his heart: "If we can invite that person, I'm afraid this matter can be half done, then we have to arrange it well in the capital, and when that person arrives, we can try to lure the kid surnamed Ling out of the city, so that it is convenient for that person to do it." "After all, there is a ninth-level spirit master in the city, and Ling Yu is the emperor's favored person, so it is naturally inconvenient to do it in the city.

"What Lord Qian said is very true, let's sum up how to arrange it." Zhao Zhengkang said with a smile.

Then the two began to discuss how to lay out the layout for Ling Yu to get into the trap, so as to get rid of this thorn in the flesh.

Ling Yu, who returned home, naturally didn't know that Zhao Zhengkang and the others had begun to calculate him again, he was enjoying Xinyue's gentle service, don't think crookedly, Ling Yu didn't plan to eat Xinyue now.

"Husband, is the strength of the concubine still appropriate?" Xinyue asked softly.

"Well, Yue'er, your technique is really not covered, I am tired for a day today, and only Yue'er's technique can make me feel comfortable." Ling Yu squinted comfortably and enjoyed Xinyue's massage, from time to time Xinyue would feed Ling Yu some preserved fruits, since the marriage contract, Ling Yu has been much more casual, anyway, it is his own concubine, except for waiting for Zhou Ling to marry and then have a full room with Xinyue, but in other aspects, Ling Yu has been enjoying himself.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, since Xinyue invited a housekeeper and bought a servant, Ling Yu also enjoyed the life of a feudal official, that is wonderful, Ling Lingyu has an endless aftertaste, so there are a lot more maids in the house, and Ling Yu no longer asks, now his life at home is taken care of in all aspects, and he no longer has the kind of hands-on life before.

The capital here is temporarily calm, Yan Zhongdao who traveled far away to Beihu, and finally arrived at the royal city of Beihu Wangting, due to the influence of the Chinese dynasty in the Central Plains, Beihu Wangting naturally also built its own royal city, the nobles of various tribes, are in the royal city have mansions, and the construction does not have to be bad for the nobles in the mainland, although the scale of the palace is not as large as the Jinling Imperial City, but it is also very exquisite, which is also the Chinese craftsmen who often robbed the border captives in Beihu before to build for them.

Yan Zhongdao was tired all the way, so he first found an inn to settle down, and then sent his entourage to contact the Zhao family's intelligence station in Beihu Wangcheng, preparing to inquire about Mu Qingfang's residence, so that he could come to visit.

After resting for one night, Yan Zhongdao's spirit improved a lot, he ate some breakfast casually, and then walked aimlessly in the royal city, casually looked at the customs outside the Saiwai, for Yan Zhongdao, he was used to seeing the prosperity of the mainland, and Beihu Wangcheng gave him the feeling that in addition to the noble mansions, they were all slums, which were far worse than the worst counties under the jurisdiction of Beiping Mansion.

After walking around casually, he went back to the inn and waited for the entourage to report, and at noon, the entourage finally came back with the spies stationed in Wangcheng.

Yan Zhongdao showed the token to prove his identity, and then asked the spies to take him to visit Mu Qingfang.

But soon they came back, because Mu Qingfang was not in the royal city, which made Yan Zhongdao extremely disappointed, but he had no choice, Mu Qingfang was a great worship of the Beihu royal court, and her status was transcendent, even the Great Khan of Beihu was very respectful to her, Yan Zhongdao naturally could only wait.

Where did Mu Qingfang go? In fact, she went to Shanhaiguan to see Ling Yuefeng again, as the only person she was close to in the world, even if her position was different, Mu Qingfang did not have the slightest hatred for Ling Yuefeng, but still relied on it a little, of course, this was not in conflict with her purpose.

In October, the north is already much colder than the south, the weather is very good tonight, the moonlight is bright, in Shanhaiguan City, Ling Yuefeng's residence, Mu Qingfang is chatting with Ling Yuefeng.

"Senior sister, why have you been running to me lately, haven't you heard that Beihu is making a mess in the west?" Ling Yuefeng asked with a smile.

"Senior brother, you are my sister's only relative in the world, Beihu is a group of barbarians, I can't communicate with them at all, so I only feel alive when I see my senior brother." Mu Qingfang said a little sadly.

"Alas, junior sister, it's better to let go of the past and come to live with my senior brother, you are not only my relative, but also your nephew Ling Yu, he is also your relative, I treat him like my own son, treat you like my own sister, Yu'er still has to call you an aunt." Ling Yuefeng said with a smile.

"Senior brother, I came to you to catch up with you because of our affection, but I also said it, don't talk to me about letting go of the past, you know that it is impossible for me to let go." Mu Qingfang's face instantly turned cold and said.

"Alas, senior sister, why are you doing this, just don't say it, I just hope that your hatred can dissipate after Your Majesty is gone in the future." Ling Yuefeng said helplessly, on one side is his junior sister, on the other side is his brother and friend, he is also caught in the middle and is extremely uncomfortable, he can't hurt either side, so he has to try his best to adjust.

"Hmph, this big Zhou Tianxia should have been my husband's, Zhou Zhengxiong robbed it, I want him to lose, how can it be that he will end when he dies, you know, I don't want to kill him, otherwise he wouldn't know how many times he died." Mu Qingfang said fiercely, and the hatred in her eyes was not concealed at all.

"Alas, junior sister, people die and die, it doesn't have to be like this, how can you make this senior brother." Ling Yuefeng still wanted to persuade again, he always remembered how much the lovely girl who followed his ass and pulled his robe and shouted senior brother was so loved, since their master died, Ling Yuefeng had brought up Mu Qingfang with one hand, how could he let go of this relationship.

"Okay, senior brother, let's not talk about this, I remember when I was a child, I liked my brother's roast duck the most, can my brother make it for me?" Mu Qingfang's words softened, seeing Ling Yuefeng so uncomfortable, she didn't feel very comfortable in her heart, after all, no matter what, her relationship with Ling Yuefeng was indeed very deep, and she was both brother and father.

"Okay, as long as you like it, as long as you want to eat, no matter when, senior brother will make it for you." Ling Yuefeng also let go of the knot in his heart just now, and said with a smile, seeing his junior sister mentioning the past, he was also full of warmth, this is his junior sister, the junior sister who wants this and that behind him, and then he works hard to achieve it, as Ling Yuefeng gets older, the more he pays attention to the people close to him, Ling Yu is like this, and Mu Qingfang is also like this.
