For the eldest brother who suddenly came to defect, Lord Sui, the deputy left-behind in Nanjing, was very annoyed.

Compared with those high-ranking officials with noble families in Beiyan, he can be regarded as a poor family, if it weren't for his wife's mother's family all the way to support, he would not be where he is today, plus his wife should be gentle when she should be gentle, virtuous when she should be virtuous, and she should have means when she should have means, so the family and everything is prosperous, and he has always respected his wife, he has always regarded the Yue family as his own family.

When he heard that Xiao Jing had arrived in Yongqing City first, he was shocked, and when he heard that Xiao Jing had slashed Xinjun's brother-in-law with a knife in front of these gentlemen and merchants in Yongqing City, he was even more dispossessed. However, as an uncle, he still has some responsibility, and he made a decision after taking a deep breath.

"Yongqing City, you left early, and you can finally get away with it. I'm going to ask to see General Xu next to the emperor now. Alas, now he is the only one who can be regarded as a good talker, and he can still face the saint when he asks for it. The others are fierce and vicious, as if they want to unify us to the end and make room for them, but Lord Qi only knows how to retreat step by step. Fortunately, as long as I report early, maybe not only will I have no fault, but I will have merit, after all, Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, is a big fish. ”

The big trouble caused by the Chen family has been solved, but the small trouble is still there. Now that his own house is not enough, even if Deputy Sui wants to help, he can't help it. Fortunately, his wife, Mrs. Chen, was reasonable, and the Chen family also understood the situation of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Nanjing today, and offered to rent the inn at his own expense and ask him to help get a post, and he naturally agreed to this little thing.

And when his wife proposed that she wanted to leave her old father to live at home, he nodded again and again: "My father-in-law is already a man of 90 years old, and it has been very hard to have a bumpy journey, so you should stay with me and recuperate!" ”

So, Deputy Sui stayed behind and hurriedly went out, Xiao Jingxian was regarded as auspicious, and carefully moved into a cramped but elegant courtyard in the new Sui Mansion under the welcome of many people.

Yue Qianqiu, who was following beside him, saw that Mrs. Chen, who was obviously at least in her forties, was in and out of Zhang Luo, doing things in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but worry that Xiao Jingxian would not be able to see some flaws.

However, from beginning to end, Xiao Jingxian, who was almost regarded as the Great Demon King in Yongqing City, was always on the recliner, and the even snoring never stopped, as if he was really immersed in a deep and sweet dream, and he didn't care about those who looked at him secretly.

After Mrs. Chen laid out the quilt herself, she saw that the two healthy servants carrying the chaise longue came forward to the bed and put down the chaise longue, and skillfully carried the old lady onto the bed. ”

"Well, just let them carry it, you can go."

Hearing this slightly vague sentence, Mrs. Chen no longer insisted, glanced at the two healthy servants, and Yue Qianqiu, who was standing next to the bed, she very majestically admonished a few words of good service and the like, and then quietly retreated. As soon as she left, the two servants immediately went out to carry water, and Yue Qianqiu, who breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to the bedside.

"You really think of yourself as someone's father? Don't be afraid that people will see the clues because of your physical problems! ”

"First of all, the old lady Chen you haven't seen is very strong, although he rarely sees people, he often walks on the ground, and his weight is about the same as mine. Anyone who has been raised like a pig for seven or eight years can't be as thin as a reed stick, so there is no problem in terms of physique. Xiao Jing first stretched out one finger, and then stretched out a second finger after speaking.

"Second, this guy I planted in the Chen family back then was such a lazy and ignorant character, over the years, the Chen family has long been used to it, this young lady who has been out of the cabinet for many years was born to the concubine of Old Lady Chen, and the real Old Lady Chen died when she was a few years old, so she is used to seeing her father's lazy and ignorant appearance."

Speaking of this, he sat up directly, cleaned up the snow-white hair casually, and then continued: "It's too troublesome for me to get rid of this makeup, you take a shower and leave here to go around Nanjing City to find out about the situation." Tomorrow, we will go to see Xu Houcong. ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't trust Xu Houcong at all, but he was still very happy that Xiao Jingxian was willing to let him go out alone. Anyway, he didn't plan to cause a storm in the city today, he just planned to go to the Tianfeng to report the message of the safe arrival. Therefore, for the first time, he didn't raise the bar with Xiao Jing first, waited until the water was sent three times and divided by two, washed it happily, and then changed his clothes and went out.

As a close confidant of "Old Lady Chen", Yue Qianqiu's going out is almost easy. With just one sentence that the old lady wanted to eat Nanjing, and asked him to buy it in person, he went out of the gate of the Sui Mansion smoothly, and only got a sentence of instructions to come back early, and there would be a night ban at night. At the same time, he also got a waist plate engraved with a deputy left-behind Sui.

There is no doubt that even if you crash into a ranger after the night blackout, this token will be able to do a little bit of a job. It's just that, thinking of the attitude of being inspected at the city gate before, Yue Qianqiu didn't trust the role of this waist card too much.

Although this rather majestic city is now Nanjing, the Northern Yan, Yue Qianqiu knew that this was the imperial capital of later generations, the famous Beijing, even with only a little geographical knowledge of his own. The difference between this word is that it now represents the geographical location of two countries, one south and one north. It's just that walking in those streets and alleys at the moment, he can't find the slightest trace of familiarity.

But he didn't come to this world on the first day, where is there any emotion about the gap in the vicissitudes of life. At this time, it was completely dark, and although all the shops on the street were not closed, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard in the distance, it was obvious that there were fewer pedestrians and fewer cars on the street.

He walked all the way to remember the road, and finally found a magnificent teahouse that had not yet closed, went in and bought a bag of refreshments that claimed to be famous products, and carried them in his hands as a cover-up, and at the same time pretended to be a foreigner who had just arrived in Nanjing, and inquired about the situation from the shopkeeper and his buddies.

Because Yue Qianqiu showed off the waist card of the Sui deputy guard, proving that he was not a suspicious person, and bought something here, the shopkeeper remembered that the Sui deputy left behind in Nanjing had a good official reputation in the past, and he didn't have much of a good impression of those outsiders who occupied the dove's nest, so he opened the conversation.

"The emperor just brought a thousand people, and he suddenly arrived in Nanjing, not to mention us, I'm afraid that even your aunt didn't know anything about it in advance." The shopkeeper said while lowering his voice, "Your aunt Nanjing Deputy Left-behind Lord Sui has a good relationship with Lord Qi, so at least he still has a seat, and the other officials in Nanjing City, hehe, are now standing aside." ”

Yue Qianqiu asked while the iron was hot: "What are the proud people around the emperor now?" I'm new to the city and I'm curious. ”

"If you ask me, I'm right. The first pride is naturally to stay behind Lord Qi, he relied on his support for the emperor and won the emperor's favor, and he was the first to support the emperor, so at the moment, he is the most favored by the emperor. It's just that Lord Qi is a dough-like character, and now he is kicked in the face by those who came to Beijing. General Xu, who was brought out by the emperor, was in charge of the forbidden army......"

Hearing the shopkeeper gushing about what he thought was correct, he insisted that Qi Xuan and Xu Houcong, who stayed in Nanjing, were the most powerful, but the reasons for saying them were very superficial, and Yue Qianqiu didn't bother to listen to them anymore. He was dealing with the shopkeeper who was aroused by himself, and when he came to the end, he quietly listened to Tianfengxing.

As a result, the shopkeeper immediately frowned.

"Tianfeng Xing? Hmph, they were lucky enough to be taken in by the emperor when they were still in the palace, and now it has rightly become the royal property. The girl who was in charge of Nanjing was even more lucky, she was originally the young owner of Lao Shentang, but Lao Shentang followed Xiao Changheng's traitor, and the whole son was confiscated, but she was spared because she broke with her father early, and was dug by the people of the Six Princes to preside over Tianfengxing. It's a joke, the Xie family is one, why can she still ascend to the sky in one step, but it depends on hue ......"

Faced with this jealous attack and complaining about the shopkeeper, Yue Qianqiu really didn't want to listen to it this time, and when he said a few words, he immediately left the teahouse.

Although he was not familiar with the streets of Beiyan Nanjing City, fortunately, the location of Tianfeng Xing was not far from this teahouse, and it didn't take much effort for him to find that street and see the signboard hanging directly at the entrance of the street.

Rather than a signboard, it is a street lamp printed with the three words Tianfeng, in this year, such a way to attract business is very rare, he can't help but look at it twice. However, seeing the two black-clothed men standing there like nails wearing hats under the street lamp, Yue Qianqiu didn't dare to approach rashly. He thought about it, looked at the snack he was carrying, and immediately chose to take a detour.

When he found that both sides of the side street where Tianfeng Xing was located were guarded, he immediately realized that there was probably someone extraordinary who had visited this place at this time. He found a proper place to hide the dim sum box and the waist card left behind by Deputy Sui, and then repeated his old trick and sneaked into a private house near Tianfengxing, and after carefully climbing over the wall all the way, only a wall was left behind.

But in this way, it seemed that he could step over the low wall with a slight leap, but Yue Qianqiu relied on his keen ears to distinguish at least eight different breathing sounds, and the sound of footsteps was staggered from time to time. Finding that it was clear that someone was patrolling, he decisively chose to shrink his head for the time being, thinking in his heart that he would wait here for a while, if the guy who was obviously a big man in Beiyan didn't leave......

Then he's gone! Big deal, come back tomorrow......

After Yue Qianqiu complained in her heart, she found a secluded corner and sat down and waited. Waiting and waiting, just when he was already extremely impatient, he finally heard the sound of people talking in the air, one of the familiar female voices seemed to be Xie Xiaoxiao mentioned by Yan Xu, and the other was so strange that he had almost no impression.

And as the speaker got closer, he could hear every word of the conversation between the two men clearly. And he immediately crossed his knees and sat down, breathing as if he were nothing, further reducing his sense of presence.

"Xiaoxiao, I've already talked about this, and this promise is definitely not empty words! My stupid brother-in-law has already given his life to Yongqing, although I hate Xiao Jingxian the most, but this time I have to say that he really killed well! Now that my greedy and stupid queen mother's family is the most powerful son and nephew, I will push them one by one to go to Yongqing to take revenge, go to Bazhou to die, and let them not think about holding me hostage again! ”

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, if you don't go back, you'll be in trouble if you're discovered."

"Xiaoxiao!" Very annoyed by the cold and hard attitude of the opposite sweetheart as always, the sixth prince couldn't help but raise his voice, it can be seen that her cold face is thin and shallow and angry, but she feels heartbroken, and in the end, it is his own attitude that softens first.

"I will find a way to deal with the Xie family's affairs, it is that they want to pursue the Xie family to the end, and I know that the Xie family had no choice but to take refuge in Xiao Changhui. I won't always be a marionette in someone else's hands, and I will never wronged you in the future......"

"Your Majesty, you came to me so late, and you only brought so many people, General Xu doesn't know how much to do, if you even the last person you trust is eradicated by someone with today's handle, what will you do in the future? Please go back, Tianfeng is here, can I still run? Compared to what you said, isn't money and people the most important thing right now? ”

The sixth prince was finally speechless, and in the face of the gaze that was so calm that it made him a little weak, he finally lowered his head in a sneer, muttered in a low voice, "Then I left first", and then walked out step by step. A few guards scattered in the courtyard hurriedly followed, and a middle-aged man who had been standing quietly in the shadow of the corner stepped forward.

"Miss Xie, the emperor insists on coming, sorry ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "General Xu is now being set aside, and he can only accompany him to do this kind of thing to stabilize his position, right?" If you're really that conscientious, why didn't you send someone next door in case someone was plotting something wrong? ”

Miss Xie laughed, in case someone next door to Tianfeng covets you, the nearby residents have already been secretly sent by the emperor to move away, and they are afraid that they will disturb you. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, the emperor would have been eager to station thousands of troops here. ”

Xu Houcong saw Xie Xiaoxiao's appearance of smiling, he didn't want to continue to be sarcastic by this girl who was harassed impatiently by the Six Princes, after all, people can be regarded as pinching the money bags of the Six Princes. At that moment, he hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "All in all, I can only try my best to persuade the emperor not to be willful in everything, but now that everyone is in the same boat, please bear with me, Miss Xie." You can't live without anyone, can you? ”

Seeing that Xu Houcong said this, he clenched his fists and arched his hand, and then chased after the other guards and strode away, Xie Xiaoxiao stood in place for a while, until there was no sound in the courtyard, and she finally snorted angrily.

"Who is in the same boat as you! A sinking ship, only you think it is reliable! kept saying that the queen was a fool, and the stupidest thing about her was marrying a useless prince, and the stupidest thing in her family was that she thought it was profitable to support that guy! It's all Xiao Changhui's damn one, what a rotten peach blossom I messed with! ”

Knowing that every time the six princes came, the other people in Tianfeng Xing would be driven to a place to settle down, so that no one could hear him speak, plus Xie Xiaoxiao had also practiced martial arts for many years, and her ears and eyes were clear, so she couldn't help but scold in a low voice when she was extremely annoyed at this time, and then she felt that her depressed mood was much better. But the next moment, she heard a hehe.

"Miss Xie, you can take it easy to scold people behind your back, what if the person you scolded kills another one?"
