Chapter 217: "Distinguished Guest"
"Your Highness, there is a person from outside the house, and it is His Highness's old acquaintance."
The person who came to report was a woman, a housekeeper or something like Wen Xiangheng selected from the Zong's mansion, and everyone in the mansion called her "Aunt Hua".
"Old knowledge?" Lin Yuyan frowned, because he also found something strange, precisely because there was no official dispatch document for returning to Wancheng this time, it can be said that except for the people who are close to him, no one else knows that he has returned to Wancheng, so to speak, even the monarch's father Qin Gong, and even Lin Yuyan's mother Jiang Shi do not know that they have returned to Wancheng.
Of course, except for the person who met him at the gate of Wancheng and drove him back to Gongziyan's mansion in a carriage, but this person was born in Shanglin Yuan and was familiar with Lin Yuyan, so there was no reason to reveal the news that he had returned to Nanyang in such a short time.
Could it be Han Kui?
Lin Yuyan secretly guessed that Aunt Hua had already brought this guest to the inner house.
When Lin Yuyan saw this person, he recognized who this person was at a glance, although it was only a few faces, and it was even unpleasant, but it was precisely because of this person's "special identity" that Lin Yuyan paid some attention to this person's appearance, especially Fang Cai, who also appeared in the conversation between himself and Wen Xiangheng.
It is the only remaining son of the former Deng Mansion, who is now named Ji Xu of [Deng Jun] by the Duke of Qin.
This Ji Xu seems to have escaped from the shadow of his Deng Guogong being slaughtered by King Shou's army, and he still looks magnificent, but in the face of Lin Yuyan, he deliberately hides the "grandeur" in his bones.
"His Royal Highness Gongziyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I took the liberty to visit today, don't blame the abrupt ...... of Xu"
As soon as Ji Xu saw Lin Yuyan, he said in a confessional tone, it is precisely because he has put his position here that Lin Yuyan is also impeccable about it.
"I don't know what Deng Jun is going to do when he comes to my son's house?" Lin Yuyan sat straight on the first seat in the hall, and then before he could continue to answer, he said: "If this son is not mistaken, I don't seem to have much friendship with Deng Jun!" ”
The second half of the sentence is already Lin Yuyan's estrangement that he does not hide at all, and even Ji Xu still hears the meaning of "chasing guests", but Ji Xu laughs at this, and says with a grateful face to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness is wrong in what you said, Your Highness led the Great Qin army to expel all the Red Turban Army in Deng Di and rescued hundreds of thousands of Deng people. ”
"Gratitude?" Lin Yuyan looked at Ji Xu with a smile, and then said slowly: "Isn't Deng Jun grateful to my son's second brother and son?" ”
"This ......" Ji Xu's face was stunned, and then he also said with a hard smile: "His Royal Highness Gongzi Xin naturally needs to be grateful, but this does not prevent Ji Xu from expressing his gratitude to His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yuyan noticed that Ji Xu did not come alone, or rather empty-handed, and there were some slaves behind him, moving in a few large boxes.
Ji Xu explained: "Your Highness Yan, these are all produced by Nanjun, not so precious, the right is to thank the people of Nanjun on behalf of Ji Xu, Your Highness!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan didn't even look at those big boxes, but continued to stare at Ji Xu, and said with a smile: "Is this the name of accepting bribes from the son of the real man?" ”
When Ji Xu heard this, he already had some arbitrariness in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a long time when he looked at Lin Yuyan.
But in the end, he sighed and said: "Why does Your Highness refuse people thousands of miles away like this, after all, the intention of this visit is to show goodwill to His Highness, not to make enemies." ”
Seeing that Ji Xu finally confided his true intentions, Lin Yuyan also said straight to the point: "I'm afraid that this show of favor is not that Deng Jun came instead of Deng Min of Nanjun, but ...... For the sake of the second brother of so-and-so, the son letter is here! ”
Ji Xu didn't intend to hide this matter, after all, it was not a secret thing to hide that he was investing in Gongzixin's staff, Gongziyan knew, although Ji Xu was a little surprised, but after all, it would not be too surprised!
This is also the revelation that Han Kui became the minister of Great Qin to everyone, and with the trust of the Duke of Qin, he can be above 10,000 people under one person, it is precisely because of this that the eyes of many travelers have been aimed at the monarch of Great Qin, and the current Qin Duke confidant Han Kui is already unable to change, so everyone is once again betting on the new monarch of Great Qin.
is similar to Ji Xu himself, that is, he won the promise of Gongzi's letter "If this Gongzi is the new king, Deng Guo's office will not be able to make a comeback", it is precisely because of this that Ji Xu is willing to put down his [Deng Jun] title and go to Wancheng to manage the momentum for Gongzixin.
"Your Highness Yan, the war in the south has been heard of, and the credit belongs to His Highness, so naturally no one can fight for it!" Ji Xu opened the topic from Lin Yuyan's position, originally hoping that Gongziyan would be able to say something, so he continued to pause, but Lin Yuyan never meant to speak, Ji Xu had no choice but to continue: "As for what His Royal Highness Gongzixin did in Nanjun, His Highness has already regretted it very much, and Gongzixin is also because of this, and now he apologizes to His Highness all the time, but Your Highness, the situation at that time was like that, the eldest son was aggressive, Gongzixin had to do that, can His Royal Highness Yan understand?" ”
"You go on." Lin Yuyan's face was flat, and he said to Ji Xu.
Ji Xu continued: "Please also ask His Royal Highness Yan to forgive Gongzixin for choosing to do that in the south, forced by the situation, please also ask His Highness to forgive......"
I didn't expect to continue to speak just now, and before the voice completely fell, I was interrupted by Lin Yuyan: "What if this son is unwilling!" ”
Ji Xu was surprised, he didn't expect His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan to respond so directly.
Before Ji Xu could speak again, he saw Lin Yuyan stand up and say: "My son knows your thoughts, and I defected to Gongzi Xin to bet on the Great Qin New Army, I'm afraid my intentions are not only here, but my son will guess what your ultimate intentions are...... Restore the Deng office? ”
Ji Xu's face was shocked, obviously he was expected to be on his mind, and his reaction was so violent, obviously he didn't want this bit of his mind to be known by Lin Yuyan.
"But this prince can clearly tell you, whether Gongzi Xin is the new monarch or not, to make it clearer, no matter which one of the Great Qin sons inherits the new monarch, he will not abandon Nanjun!"
