Chapter 495: Drag away and lose
Faced with this strange gaze, Qi Nantian only felt inexplicable. It wasn't until he found that Yue Qianqiu, who he was most familiar with, was not looking at him at all, but looking down from above, that he followed and glanced at the ground, and then saw the middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a resentful glare in his eyes. He is now the general of the Praetorian Guard, and he recognized the other party at a glance, and he was shocked.
"Soldier Zhong Shilang?"
Although he is not the top boss, if he wants to be transferred later, the face of the military department still has to be seen! When he came in in a hurry just now, he actually bumped into this soldier squire? Don't you want to be so coincidental!
Qi Nantian secretly complained, but he has been able to rise steadily and steadily in the past ten years, and he has won the trust of the emperor, but he is also a person who is very good at observing words and feelings. Thinking of the strange expressions on the faces of the guards and Wudesi people outside the door who had heard that he had come to deliver the letter, he immediately realized that they must know what was going on inside.
These guys actually set up a trap for him!
He immediately stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to Zhong Liang: "Lord Zhong, I was in a hurry just now, and I was really offended." ”
Although Zhong Liang almost felt that he had just hit a wall, Qi Nantian was deeply trusted by the emperor, even if he hated this guy who made himself ugly, he had to accept the other party's support with a cold face. However, what surprised him was that Qi Nantian was still slapping and slapping on him with a smiling face, and his huge hand strength almost didn't make him scream.
"It's my fault that I'm making a thousand mistakes, Lord Zhong, you have a lot, forgive me for being a reckless man!"
Seeing Zhong Liang's pale appearance, Qi Nantian seemed to have just realized that his hand was too strong, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but he said haha: "Yan Xu's family letter was actually sandwiched in a secret letter to the emperor, and the emperor asked me to send it to Qianqiu, I thought about going back to recover quickly, so I left in a hurry......"
Zhong Liang's pupils suddenly contracted violently. Yan Xu is one of the emperor's nephews, but he actually sandwiched the letter to Yue Qianqiu in a secret letter to the emperor, and the emperor also sent General Zuo of the Praetorian Guard to send it to Yue Qianqiu, and it was specially sent to the Wuying Pavilion, is this just a simple expression of favor? Could it be that the emperor had long known about his selfishness, so he asked Qi Nantian to run to warn him?
Thinking that he thought that the Yue family was too sharp, since the emperor was particularly courteous to Xiao Jingxian, and even caused the dissatisfaction of Pei Xu's party, now in order to balance, he has to slightly suppress the Yue family that is close to Xiao Jingxian, plus the old lady Yue is too old, and the eldest son Yue Zonghong and his adopted grandson Yue Qianqiu were not in good health during the absence, so he planned to use the matter of Wuyingguan and Zhou Jiyue as a pretext, and strive to erect his own mountain in the imperial party, Zhong Liang only felt that his forehead was gradually sweating.
Could it be that he has always comprehended the holy will and quietly shared the emperor's worries and solved problems, but he was wrong this time?
After sincerely explaining his intentions, Qi Nantian quickly came to Yue Qianqiu. After handing over the letter, he took the opportunity to attach it to Yue Qianqiu's ear, and quickly asked in a very low voice, "What's the situation?" Why did Zhong Shilang look so angry that he wanted to eat people, why did you provoke him? Did those guys you put outside deliberately trick me in? ”
"I'm not an immortal, how could I expect Uncle Qi to come." Yue Qianqiu replied casually, and tore open Yan Xu's well-sealed letter, but glanced at Qi Nantian before reading the letter, and did not speak, but the meaning was clearly revealed.
Uncle Pumpkin, you can do it, three or two sentences scare Zhong Shilang like that!
Qi Nantian secretly said I have already hit him, if I don't take the opportunity to scare him, God knows how people will give him small shoes to wear in private. After completing the task assigned to him by the emperor, he didn't ask Yan Xu what he wrote in the letter, and then came to the little fat man and Li Chongming, saluted with a smile, and met Xiao Jingxian and the third prince. When he found Xiao Qingqing, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This woman is indeed the only beauty he has ever seen in his life!
And Zhong Liang, who finally recovered from being knocked into a state of confusion, fell into a dilemma at this time.
He just put down his cruel words and let Yue Qianqiu wait for impeachment, but now he finds that the emperor's attitude is different from what he expected, if he brushes his sleeves away again and goes back to write a note to impeach, then if no one in the imperial party responds, but Pei Xu's party takes the opportunity to rise, then won't he be misunderstood as a change of court? Setting up another hill and changing the door are two different things!
The most hateful thing is that Yue Qianqiu also openly separated him and his nephew Zhong Ling......
At this moment, he suddenly only heard a crisp sound, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Yue Qianqiu's thumb and middle finger rubbing, and he actually snapped his fingers again.
"In the end, it's the master, it's only been a few days since I left Beijing and I fought such a beautiful battle!"
Yue Qianqiu, who raised his head, saw that everyone around him was looking at him, so he walked up to Zhou Jiyue with a smile and directly handed over Yan Xu's private message: "Jiyue, look, after the master took Ah Yuan and A Ning out of Beijing, he met your seventh uncle, Elder Zhou of the White Lotus Sect, and Han Yu, the governor of the Wude Division, and several people worked together to pull out a group of Beiyan spy posts that were spying on the defense of the naval army in the name of the boat gang. ”
Zhou Jiyue and her only relative, Uncle Seven, said that there were often correspondence, but when she learned that the person was near Jinling, she was immediately overjoyed, and after receiving the letter, she quickly browsed it at a glance and ten lines. Therefore, she didn't notice at all that Yue Qianqiu was observing Xiao Jingxian and Xiao Qingqing from the corner of her eye.
And although the little fat man said that he hated Zhong Xiaobai at the Winter Meeting of the National Prison, Zhong Xiaobai couldn't provoke more and more, and he helped to play the round, but the other party didn't have any response at all, and he didn't even have much affection for his uncle Zhong Liang. It can be seen that Zhong Liang's face was very unnatural after hearing that the White Lotus Sect had made another contribution, and Li Chongming's eyes kept glancing at Zhong Liang, and he was immediately very vigilant.
Even if he didn't plan to entrap the other party, he couldn't leave a chance for Li Chongming!
Therefore, the little fat man who made a decision immediately knocked on the handrail, and then stood up with a smile.
"Since the exchange between Wuying Pavilion and Wenhua Pavilion has come to an end today, I should also go back to the palace with Chongming's nephew to talk to my father. Didn't Lord Zhong just leave? Why don't we work together? I just happened to report to my father that you want to impeach Yue Qianqiu, and then there is a distinguished guest recommended by His Royal Highness King Jin, and Yue Qianqiu has already received ......"
As he spoke, he strode forward, and was very polite and virtuous and supported Zhong Liang's arm, regardless of whether Zhong Liang was willing to leave or not, let alone whether Li Chongming followed, he just dragged people out. It wasn't until he dragged Zhong Liang, who was obviously a little stiff, to the door that he came back to his senses, turned his head and nodded at the others.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, the third prince, I'm sorry, I'll take Lord Zhong back to the palace to see my father first! Yue Qianqiu, don't worry, if Lord Zhong impeaches you in front of my father, I will definitely 'speak for you'!" ”
deliberately emphasized the six words "speak for you", the little fat man grinned, and the little white teeth seemed to be shining under the sun, and then he turned his head back again, and dragged the very ugly face of the military department squire to stride away.
The little fat man, the rightful prince, is gone, and Li Chongming, who reacted slowly, and lost more than one point in action, even if he was reluctant, he could only say goodbye to everyone with a forced smile and hurriedly chased after him.
As for Qi Nantian, who was an uninvited guest, where would he stay longer at this time, he arched his hand with a smile, saying that he wanted to return to the palace to restore his life, and by the way, he would escort the pair of distinguished uncles and nephews, and after rushing through Qianqiu, he slipped away quickly.
At this moment, Zhong Xiaobai, who was left, only felt like a poor worm discarded, and even felt that the companions behind him who were brought out were all staring at him with eyes like pins and needles.
Stimulated by the feeling of thorns in his back, he couldn't help but turn his heart sideways, glared at Yue Qianqiu and said: "Yue Qianqiu, I am willing to gamble and lose, but the only person who loses is me, everyone else is affected by me, don't embarrass them, their bets are all counted on my head!" ”
"Brother Zhong, everyone is here together, and we are blessed to share it...... Not! ”
Seeing that a righteous young man who spoke to Zhong Xiaobai was immediately dragged down by his companions and covered his mouth, and none of the remaining people stood up to carry it with Zhong Xiaobai, Yue Qianqiu saw Zhong Xiaobai biting his lip and his face turned pale, he couldn't help but feel that this guy was quite pitiful.
"It stands to reason that I'm still an idler now, and I'm here to see the excitement at the Wuying Pavilion today, you have to ask Sect Master Zhou." Yue Qianqiu first shirked a sentence, and then changed his words, "Having said that, it's better to come and not be rude, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since there is still a lot of time today, do you want to do other exchanges between Wenhua Pavilion and Wuying Pavilion by the way?" For example, talk about riding archery or something? ”
As soon as these words came out, the teenagers in the Wenhua Pavilion were in an uproar, and they were willing to stay and be beaten. The dignified soldier Zhong Shilang was dragged away by King Li Yiming, and the emperor even sent someone to send a letter to Yue Qianqiu, and it was undoubtedly humiliating to continue to say goodbye, as the first person opened his mouth to push and say that there were other things today, the rest of the people made excuses to slip away. After a while, only Zhong Xiaobai remained.
It wasn't until this time that Xiao Qingqing, who really implemented the three words of excitement today, suddenly smiled. Even if it was just a silent smile, as long as everyone who had been paying attention to her, they were all attracted by the smile that bloomed like a hidden orchid. However, unlike the situation when she got out of the sedan chair, the bright light stuck to all the eyes, at this time, everyone felt relieved.
"It's a farce, but it's a bit of fun."
Seeing Xiao Qingqing's right hand move slightly, Yue Qianqiu immediately instinctively tilted his head, stretched out two fingers, and quickly clamped his eyes. Before he could look at the thing in his hand out of the corner of his eye, he heard the cold voice that was inexplicably more vivid.
"I live in the Tianning Inn in the west of the city, and you can take this thing to find me there within three days, and it won't wait for the expiration."
Everyone in Yinghua Hall saw the white-clothed figure start and go out, walking slowly and slowly, but suddenly, her back was no longer visible in sight. And Yue Qianqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked down, and found that the middle finger of the index finger of his right hand was holding a bamboo piece half the size of a palm, with the word red moon written on it.
He quietly pushed the bamboo piece into his waist, and then he looked at Zhong Xiaobai for a while, and said with a smile: "If you count all the bets of your companions on you alone, you will probably have to run dozens of laps around Jinling." With your small body, I'm afraid you won't be able to run it all in a day and a night. But if you agree to a condition, I can go beyond the line and waive the bet for everyone, do you want to listen to the conditions? ”
Zhong Xiaobai didn't know that as long as he ran around the city, his face and Yuhang Zhong's face would be lost, but if he was really forced to agree by Yue Qianqiu, it would undoubtedly be an alliance under the city, and it would also be a humiliation. After struggling repeatedly, he still asked in a dry voice, "What conditions?" ”
"It's simple." Yue Qianqiu hooked his finger at Zhong Xiaobai and asked with a hippie smile, "How about you change your course and join our Wuying Pavilion?" You see, didn't people say the four sons of Jinling before? Me and Bufan plus you, there are three of them, I'll find some way to pull Yu Changqing in, that's it, everyone just has a companion, isn't it just right? ”
Seeing that Zhong Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, he said with a smile: "You don't have to agree now, you can go back and think about it, just give me an answer in three days!" ”
