As Sang Zi said, Yan Xu did just come back. Although his name as the Xuanlong General has spread, no one in the Minister of Civil Affairs knows what he does, and he doesn't care about the discussions behind it, he only thinks about handling the Cheng family extermination case that his mother worked hard to do, and by the way, pry open the mouth of the series of secret spies of the Autumn Hunting Division.

And now that the two cases have come to an end at the same time, even if he is so tired that he even walks with his feet, he does not feel tired at all, but is so excited that his whole body is full of energy. But just after talking to the old lady and daughter-in-law for a while, he was helplessly forced to take a bath by his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. And when the whole person was soaked in boiling hot water, he gradually felt a tiredness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

In addition to the tiredness, what made him a little embarrassed was his rumbling stomach. Although he commanded a lot of delicious food and drink immediately, he was not very happy to let his mother and wife know that he had forgotten to eat until he was so desperate, so he could only restrain himself with sweat profusely, and only planned to go out after washing quickly.

Just then, he heard a creak at the door, as if someone had pushed it in. He frowned a little puzzled, his wife's mattress was not over yet, although she refused to be stuffy in the original delivery room, and had already moved people to the main room with a warm sedan chair, but her mother strictly forbade her to go out to see the wind, and as for the mother, she would not come to this place when he was older. In that case, is it possible......

Damn, could it be that there is a girl in the family who is not honest and dares to tempt him?

Yan Xu frowned, especially when he found that the footsteps were extremely soft, and it was obvious that someone was tiptoeing closer, and even breathing seemed to be deliberately stopped, so he became even more angry. He pinched the bath towel beside him, and when he realized that the person was five steps behind him, he suddenly shouted angrily, grabbed the bath towel and waved it back. The next moment, he heard an ouch.

This voice was too familiar, so he almost subconsciously stood up and turned around, and when he found Yue Qianqiu hurriedly jumping back a few steps to dodge, and then looked at him with a resentful face, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Why are you Qianqiu?" ”

"Master, can't you still think you're an assassin? If the assassin pushes the door and makes a noise that alarms you, isn't he here to find death? ”

When Yue Qianqiu said this, he suddenly remembered the food box in his hand, hurriedly squatted down and put it on the ground, and lifted the lid again, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with the sealed crockpot inside, and the other cup of white fungus soup was not turned over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up the soft towel on the side and put the crockpot aside, and sent the white fungus soup to Yan Xu first with a smile.

"There's chicken soup in the crockpot, and it should still be hot at this time, so it's not easy to eat. The eldest princess and the master specially instructed the kitchen to be boiled a long time ago, and it was lukewarm and suitable for eating at the moment. ”

Although Yue Qianqiu specially pointed out that it was ordered by the eldest princess of Dongyang and Su Shiqi, the person who was sent in by his own hands was an apprentice, Yan Xu was naturally useful, and reached out to take it with a smile, and then turned around and soaked in the hot water pool again, and drank it with a smile. The slippery white fungus and sweet taste replenished his stomach that was almost empty, and calmed down his anxious mood that had just been teased by the hot water.

What made him feel even more comfortable was that the apprentice was already massaging his sore and stiff shoulders and neck, which was almost as strong as doing this, but it seemed to be pressed into his bones, making him almost non-stop these days, and even squeezing out time to sleep was extremely relaxed. It's just that he also knew that Yue Qianqiu was not a professional after all, so he stopped it after enjoying it for a while.

"Okay, okay, it's enough for you to have this heart, I want to wipe my back and press my neck or something, some people don't need you to work hard this big night. Tell me, what's the matter with coming here so late? Don't say anything like thinking about me, what kind of virtue do you kid have, Master, don't I know yet? ”

After Yan Xu finished speaking, he waited for Yue Qianqiu to speak, but for a long time, the hands that were pressing on his shoulders continued to exert themselves, but the answer he expected was not. At this time, he, who knew his apprentice best, chuckled in his heart, but when he was about to turn around, he couldn't help but feel a great force on his shoulder, and he was involuntarily pressed in place by Yue Qianqiu.

At this moment, he suddenly became angry: "What are you doing? The wings are stiff, do you want to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors? Let me go, I'll count to three, and if I don't let go of your master, I'll turn my face! What to say! ”

Before Yan Xu's frightened count began, Yue Qianqiu whispered, "Master, can you be sure that no one is eavesdropping around?" ”

In an instant, Yan Xu's original anger suddenly turned into surprise. Sensing that the hand on his shoulder had been released, he turned his head to look at Yue Qianqiu, and when he saw the melancholy expression on his face, as if he had really encountered something that he couldn't jump over, he raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The princess's mansion is important, unless it is you who often come and go, even your Uncle Ying is not so easy to break through." ”

He paused as he spoke, his face revealing unparalleled confidence: "As for the others, are they full enough to eavesdrop on our master and apprentice?" Even if it's really because of my mother's order, it's not so easy to avoid my ears. If you have anything to say, if anyone dares to let you be wronged, it will be the emperor...... He's also my uncle, so of course I can go to him for a theory! ”

This kind of domineering words, that is, Yan Xu can speak eloquently, and it can not make people doubt his sincerity at all. In another person, even if the eldest princess of Dongyang said it like this, Yue Qianqiu would feel that it was just to comfort or win his trust. Thinking of Yan Xu's character as always, he took a deep breath, but he directly started with another person.

"Master, things have to start with Ying Xiaopang......"

When Yue Qianqiu was communicating with Yan Xu in the bathhouse, Zhou Jiyue had been led to the eldest princess of Dongyang by Sang Zi. This most trusted sister of Emperor Dawu, and a woman who is recognized as a savior by many sects of martial arts, is now at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but her hair is jet black, and there is no trace of silver frost in sight, and the years have not left many fine lines on her smooth face.

At this moment, just like talking to Zhou Jiyue in the carriage before, she did not show her ruthless side in front of most people, but responded to Zhou Jiyue's salute gently, and then beckoned her to sit down beside her and talk.

"Qianqiu is a person who rushes forward with all his heart, regardless of his back, thanks to you for being so careful and meticulous in sweeping the battle behind him, but it is hard for you."

Zhou Jiyue was polite and humble, but how to listen to it and feel that the eldest princess of Dongyang seemed to have something to say, and this speech even sounded a bit like a mother-in-law's tone, she couldn't help but hesitate a little how to answer. However, the next moment she was stunned. Because, the eldest princess of Dongyang did not ask her how far she had negotiated with the Red Moon Palace, but asked a completely irrelevant question.

"Qianqiu came to his master at night, and you are still following behind, this should not be his original intention, right? Is it because of his background, you persuaded him to come? ”

Even if she is a girl who is alone and calm in trouble, Zhou Jiyue's skill points that Taishan collapsed in front of her and her face did not change have not yet reached the full value. Therefore, in the face of the sudden stunning shot of the eldest princess of Dongyang, she suddenly inevitably changed slightly. And she immediately realized that it was impossible to hide from this person in a sloppy way, so she simply fell silent.

"I guess that's why he suddenly left someone and ran away after he took Jin Cancan to Xiao Jingxian, and went to the Xuandao Hall with you, and then ran over at night. Xiao Jingxian is the best at teasing other people's hearts, not only Qianqiu, but there are many people who break halberds in his hands. If Ah Xu fails to persuade Qianqiu for a while, and you work harder, it will be almost the same. ”

At this time, Zhou Jiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the eldest princess of Dongyang was not omniscient, but Xiao Jingxian bewitched Yue Qianqiu again, and never thought of other possibilities.

She knew that she should take the opportunity to further divert the topic, so she raised her head and asked, "Eldest princess, after the King of Jin returned to the south, he didn't do anything, why did the emperor attach so much importance to him before he defected to Beiyan and returned to my Great Wu?" ”

"Because he sent someone to contact the emperor very early on, expressing his intention to return to the south." The eldest princess of Dongyang didn't hesitate much, and gave this answer happily. Seeing that Zhou Jiyue was taken aback, she smiled dumbly, and then showed a ray of confidence.

"The character of Emperor Beiyan is too much like a single husband, his brother will kill when he says he will kill, and his son will be abolished, and he will do things under his hands, which is too trembling, and even if he wants to bet on the future prince, he can't help but think about whether he can live until then. Therefore, not only Xiao Jingxian, but also no less than ten powerful ministers of Northern Yan who secretly hooked up with our dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of a long-term problem, and her eyes suddenly lost focus and looked in certain directions. After a long while, she said word by word: "Emperor Beiyan is like a top horse, but his temperament is too fierce and he needs a pair of bridles, but the bridles have long been shattered, so that in the world in the north, almost no one can balance him." ”

Unrestricted power is like a wild horse? It seems that Yue Qianqiu once said this to her......

Zhou Jiyue realized something in her heart, but the next moment, she thought of another thing. When today's son has moved those dissenting courtiers away from the front one by one over the years, there are Wu Renyuan and Gao Zezhi who have a lot of bad conduct and evil deeds, and there are Pei Xu who are born in a family but lack political achievements, but I heard that there are also some simple dissidents. If according to what the eldest princess of Dongyang said, ten or twenty years later, will Da Wu become another Northern Yan?

Although she was secretly worried, she would never say such things rashly. But silence was not a solution, so she finally avoided the important and said lightly: "However, Emperor Beiyan issued an edict this time and stabilized the situation. As far as I know, the defection of His Royal Highness the King of Jin has been scolded by many people, including Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, who once intersected with him......"

The smile of the eldest princess of Dongyang suddenly became a little weird, could she say that the guy who scolded Xiao Jingxian the most fierce was the most successful secret of Dawu, there was no one?

She pretended to be stunned, and then changed the topic and said: "King Jin is not just a benchmark for my Great Wu, he can not only tell those who are in Beiyan and hook up with us, our dynasty will give them glory and wealth, but also other meanings." After the Lantern Festival, King Jin will officially become the teacher of King Ying. ”

This news is not unearthly. Even if there was a prince and prince among the official positions that Xiao Jingxian was awarded back then, but when the prince was not decided, Xiao Jingxian became the teacher of King Li Yiming, so a certain situation is very obvious.

Thinking of Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin who once teased himself and blew up as soon as Yue Qianqiu touched him, and then thought of Xiao Qingqing's statement revealed by Yue Qianqiu, Zhou Jiyue couldn't help but be very worried. In case Xiao Qingqing is just talking nonsense, Li Yiming is not the son of Empress Beiyan, and he is not Xiao Jingxian's nephew, but after Xiao Jingxian has been around for a while, he may not be able to say.

"The King of England is said to have always tried to get close to the King of Jin, if he is taught by the King of Jin again, will he be too deeply influenced by him in the future? Moreover, the Chinese and Wu of the Dynasty have always been quite suspicious and estranged from the King of Jin......"

Before she could finish speaking, the eldest princess of Dongyang interrupted: "Instead of letting that little fat man find a way to get close to King Jin all day long, it is better to let them get along day and night, so that they can see each other's shortcomings clearly." Moreover, isn't King Jin also serving as the head of the Wuying Pavilion? The emperor has already decided to let the little fat man go to the Wuying Pavilion the next day, and let Xiao Jing give everyone a big lesson there first. In this way, you can avoid the trouble of two people being alone. With you and Chiaki watching together, it's not easy to get out of trouble. ”

Speaking of this, she said with a smile: "Xiao Jingjing is also enrolled in school, and you can have one more girl there." ”

That's really ...... How to call it a gibberish!

Zhou Jiyue only felt that she was really under pressure, and while smiling bitterly, she couldn't help but want to do her best to push it out. At least, she really can't afford this pot, so she has to change someone to carry it.

"Eldest princess, I was temporarily in charge of the Wuying Pavilion before, and that was because Qianqiu was going to envoy Beiyan, and now that he is back, can I transfer the burden on my shoulders to him? Compared with me, he can hold down more in terms of ability and identity. After all, he was about to take over the Xuandao Hall. ”

The eldest princess of Dongyang saw Zhou Jiyue looking at her innocently, thinking that in the past, the sect master of the White Lotus Sect had always been brave to take responsibility, but at this time, she looked like a picker, she didn't have to think about it to know what the reason was. Therefore, she nodded kindly and said, "You are right, after the New Year, let Qianqiu be your deputy." ”

Zhou Jiyue was stunned at this time, and was about to hurriedly explain that she didn't mean this, but the next moment, she only heard Sang Zi's voice from outside: "Young Master, the eldest princess is talking to Sect Master Zhou......"

But such a tactful obstruction is obviously impossible to stop Yan Xu's footsteps. There was not even a stern answer outside, only the sound of his footsteps walking with his head bored. Not long after, the bead curtain was knocked open by the furious Yan Da Boss. And behind him, he followed without saying a word, like a little follower.

"Mother, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first month, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I plan to pass the Xuandao Hall to Qianqiu tomorrow!"
