Looking at Yao Jin's teary eyes that were about to burst the embankment, the disappointment, sadness and even complaints in Wei Yan's original heart were all gone. As long as she said, or even as long as she looked at him like that, he was willing to leave everything behind, including what he thought was right and wrong, and what he had been suffering in his heart for the past few days. Wei Yan slowly stretched out his hand and hugged Yao Jin into his arms, his voice was so light and deep: "I will do my best to stand by your side, from now until every day in the future, forever and ever, as long as I am still breathing, as long as I am still standing on this land, I will put your life and death and well-being first." ”

After this night passed, Yao Jin's hesitation and self-blame, timidity and shame that he had never dared to speak to others in his heart finally slowly let go. In August, the golden osmanthus was fragrant, and she could finally happily hold the sweet cake of osmanthus eight treasures carefully made by Long Wan, and then carry a pot of wine and two cups, and blatantly ran into Wei Yan's house at night, shouting that she wanted to have a supper with him, but she would soon be invited out by Wei Yan with the cake, so she had to invite Wang Xiang and his wife, the Zhao family brothers, and then let Long Wan come over to serve, so that he was willing to sit down and eat a piece of snack.

"Tomorrow is the day of the scheduled banquet, can Your Highness be able to hold on to your heart?" Ouch my feet-" Although Wang Xiangren is thin, his appetite is very good, and when a table of people sits down, he eats the most, and one person swept away most of the sweet cakes, Lu Tao was so angry that he stepped on him fiercely below, and he stopped.

Long Wan hid her face and chuckled beside her, then brought two plates of sweet cakes and other snacks, while Yao Jin pinched a piece of bean paste cake in his hand, and said confidently: "Since they have arrived at the Zhao Mansion, and they don't have aircraft cannons, nor are they three-headed and six-armed, I'm afraid that they will turn the sky with me in the mansion?"

"Although it is easy to take down these two people, but after all, the feudal kingdom was first established, and the two of them are also meritorious ministers, if they take it without a name, I am afraid that it will make other county guards criticized, but it is not good for the overall situation. Zhao Yu has never advocated tearing his face and using force, and he has also privately talked about Jiang Fu and the others many times in this matter, but obviously no result has been obtained, so he is frowning at the moment. Yao Jin saw his solemn expression, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In the end, the two brothers have a good heart, what you are worried about, Zhao Sheng has already done it for you, rest assured, you will definitely not tear your face and fight, and at the banquet tomorrow, not even a plate will be broken." ”

Zhao Sheng hurriedly got up, "Your Highness, rest assured, the elder and the youngest of Jiang Changhe's family have been placed under house arrest by the lower officials in a secret place, Fu Jiang is a lonely person, but there is a nurse who has raised him since he was a child, and he has always regarded him as his own mother, and now he has also been detained." It was done in secret, and the two of them would never know. ”

"What kind of house arrest and what kind of detention? Zhao Sheng, you have always been slippery, how can you speak?" Yao Jinliu raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Sheng knelt down busily, "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins, it is a gaffe of your subordinates! It's not house arrest, it's just that they are invited to live and stay!"

"It's pretty much the same!" Yao Jin nodded to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu hurriedly helped his younger brother, who was already sweating profusely, Yao Jin continued: "When this matter is over, this princess will forgive you for the sin of recommending Jiang Changhei to me before, and you need to brag less and do more things in the future, and now the taxes and grain of the thirteen counties are under your jurisdiction, this is a great plan for the people's livelihood, you have to be vigilant to the lord of your country!"

"My subordinates thank Your Highness for your trust, and I will definitely live up to your high expectations!" Zhao Sheng smiled cheekily and toasted Yao Jin with a glass of wine, but he didn't feel good in his heart: it was said that the taxes and grain were all under my control, and it was not that the money and accounts were separated, and the accounts were all in my brother's hands, and I couldn't make much oil and water......

Wang Xiang on the side ate two more pieces of gold silk cakes at this time, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and also got up and said: "Tomorrow, the subordinates will sit opposite Jiang Fu and the others, and His Royal Highness will only reward and praise everyone according to the plan, and naturally someone in the hall will lead the topic to the two of him and the 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Fu'an, and the subordinates will carefully observe their reactions, and when the time is right, the subordinates will raise a glass of wine to His Highness, and His Highness can ask them questions." ”

"Okay, no problem. Yao Jin nodded, "If it goes well, if they hesitate, I'm welcome." ”

"Everything has been arranged, Your Highness wants to descend or kill, just let it go. ”

"I'm not going to down—"

Wei Yan, who had never said a word, suddenly glanced at her and said slowly: "I have been with Jiang Fu and the others in the army for a long time, and I deeply feel that they are not great traitors. ”

"yes, I don't think so. Yao Jin followed Wei Yan's words with a sweet smile on his face and said, "If things go well, I still plan to re-allocate the garrisons in various places by Fu Jiang, and then select and train a group of our troops from Xiaonanguo.

Wei Yan also smiled and nodded, while Wang Xiang looked at the two of them meaningfully, and looked at Zhao Yu, who was silent, for a moment, and then quietly swallowed the unfinished words.

Although Wang Xiang did not say the following words, the banquet on the second day was as he expected, Jiang Fu and the others had already prepared, no matter how Yao Jin and everyone in the hall knocked on the side, they all pretended to be stupid and stunned, and decided not to submit the matter of sending troops. Until Yao Jin rewarded the gifts one by one, others got gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques, only these two people opened the box and saw that they were actually close to their relatives. Fu Jiang was the first to change his face, and he was about to get up to ask questions but was stopped by Jiang Changsi, and Yao Jin looked at them with a smile on his face, although the banquet was still full of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, but the atmosphere was like a sudden cooling weather, and the cold chill immediately spread.

"May I ask Your Highness, what is the meaning of this reward, forgive the ministers for being stupid, I really don't understand. ”

"Lord Jiang is so smart, how can he not understand?" Yao Jin smiled and drank a cup of himself. She drank a lot of alcohol today, and seemed to be a little drunk, so she supported her head with one hand and said slowly: "You are all meritorious servants of Xiao Nanguo, and you are all dedicated to Xiao Nanguo, and the rewards of the lord of your country are also attentive, and the rewards are everyone's most important and beloved things-Lord Jiang, take a closer look, could it be that the things in the brocade box are not important to you? Or is there something next to you, more important?"

Looking at the two brothers of the Zhao family on the opposite side, Jiang Changji smiled and said loudly: "Your Highness is the lord, and your subordinates are ministers. Even if His Royal Highness felt that the 30,000 soldiers who were born and died with his subordinates and Master Fu were not important, his subordinates naturally did not dare to argue. Everyone has been on the battlefield together and fought for life and death, such a friendship in robes, presumably when His Royal Highness is talking and laughing in this high-rise jade sky, or when he sits on this golden high seat and drinks, it is unimaginable!"
