Chapter 125: The Man Behind the Scenes

Although she is willful and arrogant, she is sincere to Gongliangyu, but I don't know what kind of mood she will feel when the Wan clan and Gongliangyu draw their swords against each other in the future......

After Ah Hong left, Haitang stepped forward and said: "The princess is useless for a supper, and she is so angry, I'm afraid that she won't sleep well at night, and the blood swallow is the most beneficial and moisturizing, why don't you go and stew a cup of slaves?" ”

Shi Fenglan nodded casually, her gaze staying in the direction of the West Courtyard......

Wu Manwen looked at the good words of the public who was sleeping next to him, and for two days of marriage, he rested in his room, ignoring the main lord of the East Courtyard, which made her very happy in her heart.

But she has never been able to figure out Gongliangyuzhi's thoughts on Ye Xuemei, and after inquiring in the past two days, she learned that before the Empress Dowager Wan issued a decree to give marriage, Gongliangyuzhi had a big quarrel with Ye Xuemei, and then her attitude faded, and then she moved out of Ningwang's Mansion and rarely interacted.

Obviously she is so disgusted, why as soon as she opens her mouth, she immediately pours everything she has, this is really unreasonable, did she ignore something?

Doubts are doubts, she didn't dare to ask about the good words, she could only guess silently in her heart.

Heavy rain shrouded Kaifeng City in the middle of the night, and the sound of beeping rain was everywhere.

Ye Xuemei put aside and looked at the Art of War map in the middle of the night, and took a long breath, "This set of Art of War Map is really mysterious, I thought that with that half of the Art of War map, I had already learned seven or eight points, but now I know that it is not even three points." ”

"Less than three points?" Rong Xiang said in surprise: "The girl is so smart, how can she be stumped by a mere art of war map?" ”

Ye Xuemei smiled slightly, "Silly girl, I'm not a fairy, don't you hear that 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world'?" ”

Rong Xiang leaned over and smiled in her ear: "In the heart of the slave, the girl is a fairy and can do anything!" ”

Ye Xuemei flicked her fingers on her smooth forehead and scolded with a smile: "All nonsense! ”

Rong Xiang bent her eyes and smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the art of war diagram resting on the table, and couldn't help but think of the person in the daytime, and asked: "Girl, did you say that the son surnamed Zhao really believed in you so much, or did he ......" She pointed to her head, "It's not good here?" ”

Ye Xuemei said funny: "You girl, are you talking nonsense again, Zhao Gongzi talks extraordinarily and has clear eyes, how can he be mentally abnormal." ”

"The slave is not talking nonsense. How could anyone casually lend something worth 60,000 taels to a person who has never even seen his true face, and he has not even written an IOU, in case the girl does not pay it back, he will not even have a place to reason. ”

Ye Xuemei gradually smiled, fiddled with the tassels on her skirt, and said slowly: "At this point, I don't quite understand, whether he comes casually and treats money as nothing, or ...... It's too thorough. ”

The two of them were discussing Zhao Feng's matter, and the door was pushed open, and it was the prisoner who came back.

Ye Xuemei asked, "But did you hear about it?" ”

The prisoner nodded, wiped the rain from his face, and said: "Zhao Feng is the eldest son of the Zhao family, the richest man in Jiangning. ”

Rong Xiang suddenly said: "No wonder you are so generous, it turns out that you have such a net worth background." ”

Although Zhao Feng was born rich and noble, he was not contaminated with the vices of those gentlemen, but was obsessed with the art of war poetry and books, and often did not step out of the house for ten days and half a month, claiming to have no books and no reading. About ten days ago, he was invited by the Pearl Pavilion to come to Kaifeng City, and he has been living in the Tianzi room of the Sifang Inn, and the purpose of his trip is for this art of war. ”

Ye Xuemei's fingers slowly stroked the yellowed book, and said softly: "In this way, Zhao Feng is not suspicious?" ”

"Yes." The prisoner replied simply, and then said, "If the girl is still suspicious, I can continue to investigate." ”

"Not today. In the future, when I see Zhao Feng, I must pay attention, I always feel that this person is not simple. After that, she said gently: "Hurry up and change your clothes, so as not to catch a cold." ”

"Thank you, girl!" With that, he withdrew.

Kaifeng City in the night rain was dark everywhere, except for Ye Zhai, there were a few sporadic lights on.

In the Tianzi room of the Sifang Inn, Zhao Feng sat peacefully at the table playing against himself, and the two little guys stood quietly behind him.

At this moment, a middle-aged man pushed the door and walked in, this person was the same person who was presiding over the auction in the Pearl Pavilion today.

The middle-aged man walked into the house and bowed respectfully to Zhao Feng, "I've seen Gongzi." ”

Zhao Feng raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, "Are you leaving?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the villain saw the prisoner enter the Ye Mansion with his own eyes, so he came to see the child." As he spoke, he frowned, "The villain has something unknown. ”

Zhao Feng put down the chess pieces in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand why I have to go to such great lengths?" ”

"Yes." The middle-aged man glanced at him and said softly: "As long as Gongzi releases the news and says that half of the military book is in your hand, Ye Xuemei will definitely take the initiative to make friends with you, and there is no need to make a detour to the Pearl Pavilion at all." ”

Zhao Feng smiled indifferently, he was already handsome, and this smile added a bit of astonishment, "As you said, you can get close to Ye Xuemei, but it seems too deliberate, it is difficult to gain her trust, which is not conducive to the follow-up plan." Besides......" His eyes flashed, and he turned the jade wrench on his thumb, "Isn't the existence of the Pearl Pavilion just to turn the unreasonable into reasonable?" ”

"That's what Childe said." As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and said respectfully: "This is the silver taels obtained from this auction, plus the 60,000 taels paid by the son, a total of 199,000 taels, please take it!" "Except for a few people in the Pearl Pavilion, no one knows that this middle-aged man who is in charge of presiding over the auction is the real boss of the Pearl Pavilion, and the one on the surface is just a puppet.

Looking at the stack of silver tickets that were enough to make countless people crazy, Zhao Feng didn't even move his eyelids, and said casually: "I still have to stay in Kaifeng City for a while, you can send someone back yourself, be careful, don't show your traces." ”

"Yes." After the middle-aged man took back the silver ticket, he said, "How is the situation in the north?" ”

"The news just came today that the Minyang Valley was broken, and the army of Wu had crossed the northern border line for more than 20 miles and was heading towards Kaifeng City. According to the speed of their march, if Emperor Song did not send people to intercept them, they would arrive at Kaifeng City in about half a month. ”

"Kaifeng is the imperial capital of the Song Kingdom, even if Emperor Song is a fool, he will never give it away, let alone ......" Zhao Feng's long eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "He is not stupid at all." ”

"What Gongzi said is that according to the news of the past two days, Emperor Song should have raised money in the Ministry of Households, and the troops in the Ministry of War, according to the villain's calculations, plus the 100,000 troops of the military defense battalion, they should be able to raise nearly 200,000 troops within half a month."
