Thorn's sudden visit made Su Renxi couldn't help it, he had been in Lu'an for so long, and he wanted to return to Huiji immediately after he had done things. But now the situation in Hengshan is changing too fast, and it is said that the king of Huainan is already waiting on the border between the two countries, and he may come at any time. However, Hengshan is in a mess, if Huainan is allowed to attack Hengshan Kingdom, the Yue people who have just settled down may be in chaos, so Su Ren can't go back.

To give Liu Shuang an idea, it is to let Liu Shuang rein in, stop arguing with Liu Xiao, and let King Hengshan calm down and set his sights on the border, so as not to be taken advantage of by Huainan State. The effect seems to be very good, and yesterday Zhang Guangchang, the general of Hengshan State, personally went to Nanjun to supervise the training of troops to prevent a sudden attack by Huainan.

When the thorns came, Su Ren was eating breakfast, and when he saw the thorns, he beckoned: "Have you eaten?" If you don't eat it, you'll be together! ”

Thorn looked at Su Ren's food: "I didn't eat it, but the ones you eat are too vegetarian, you can call rice without meat?" ”

"If you don't have meat, you can't call it rice? Although the meat is good, but you can't eat it all at once, there is a lot of fat in it, and eating too much is easy to cause fat accumulation, clogging blood vessels, what cerebral thrombosis, heart disease all come out, especially in the morning, eat some light food. ”

Thorn frowned: "Fat? Thrombus? What do you mean? ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't understand, just remember to eat more light food is good for your body!" Three or two mouthfuls pulled the porridge in the bowl into their mouths: "What's the matter with coming so early?" Are you bored at that little inn and ready to go out for a walk with me? ”

Thorn shook his head: "Win Gongzi is invited, I'm an errand runner." ”

"Hehe, when did Gongzi Ying become so face-saving, and the thorn heroes became errands?"

"Hey, hey!" Thorn smiled: "To be honest, running errands is just a stopper, but I actually want you to invite me to Cuixiang Building." ”

"Oh......!" Su Ren immediately understood: "Gluttony? Yes! Then go back, call Win Gongzi, let's see you in Cuixiang Building! ”

"Okay!" Thorn agreed, and flew out of the door.

After cleaning up the dishes and walking around the courtyard, Su Ren got dressed and led Huang Shisan and Manniu towards Cuixiang Building. I don't know how many times I have walked this road, and even the wild cow has resistance to the hawking and aroma on the street, and follows Su Renmu without squinting. However, Su Ren stopped and went, looked here and there, and asked the price if he thought it was good, and bought it if he liked it.

Before they arrived at the door of Cuixiang Building, Huang Shisan and Manniu had a lot of them in their arms. Huang Shisan felt that it was too cumbersome: "Sir, what are these broken things doing to buy it?" ”

Su Ren rolled his eyes: "You don't have any common sense in life, we have been out for more than a year, and if we don't get it, we have to stay for another year, and you can't bring some gifts when you go back?" There are so many people in the family, everyone has to give a copy, these two wolf quill pens are for the teacher, this string of beads is for the head of Chongxu Dao, and these are all to be given away, although they are not valuable, they are also considered to be our hearts. ”

"Then there's no need to buy so much food, right? Rice cakes and fruits will spoil if they are left out for a long time. ”

"Huh!" Su Ren smiled: "It's too!" Forget it, leave the other things behind, and the two of you can eat them will eat it. ”

"Ahh Huang Shisan was shocked and looked at the Cuixiang Building in front of him: "We are going to Cuixiang Building, but let us eat these, sir, are you ......?" ”

"Isn't it? If you don't want to eat, you can carry it on your back, what nonsense! ”

The three of them entered Cuixiang Building, and Lao Jia hurriedly greeted them and took the three of them into the private room on the second floor where Su Ren frequented the most. As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw that Ying Guangji and Thorn had arrived early. Lao Jia let Su Ren in, closed the door and went to prepare wine and food.

Su Ren arched his hand: "I'm sorry, don't blame me for coming late, it's really that the two of you came a little fast." ”

Thorn said with a smile: "Cuixianglou's wine and food are famous all over the world, and it's not easy to eat a meal, how can you not come earlier?" What's more, this time it's your treat, and it's obvious that we're not authentic when we come late. ”

"Okay, okay, Brother Thorn is getting better and better at talking, and I don't know who to learn from." Su Ren glanced at Ying Guangji: "What's the matter with Ying Gongzi?" ”

Win Guangji has been in a bad mood these days, since the Yue people were almost wiped out by Su Ren, there are few smiles on his face, and he rolled his eyes at Su Ren: "The Wei Qing you asked me to help you check has some eyebrows." ”

"Oh? So fast! There is still a way to win the child. ”

Win Guangji was immune to Su Ren's compliments, and continued: "Wei Qing was originally a monk, ten years ago he was met by Liu Ci on the road, Liu Ci saw that he talked well, so he stayed by his side and became a confessor, so many years Wei Qing has been in the position of a confessor, it is said that several times Liu Ci wanted to promote Wei Qing, but Wei Qing refused. ”

Su Ren thought for a while: "This person is really interesting, since he is a sergeant but he is unwilling to be promoted?" Anything else? For example, where is Wei Qing from and what is the purpose of coming to Lu'an? ”

Ying Guangji said: "The people in the place don't know, but there is a little evidence that Wei Qing came from the west." ”

"West? Huainan or Shuzhong? ”

Ying Guangji shook his head: "I don't know, I have already sent someone to Huainan Kingdom, and I haven't returned it yet." ”

Su Ren scratched his head: "The more mysterious the person, the more problematic it is, this Wei Qing can get the trust of King Hengshan, and now he is supporting Liu Shuang, daring to make a move in the complicated competition for the throne, not at all like an ordinary person, and the low-key of the person he has been a confessor for ten years is very asymmetrical, this person must have a problem!" ”

Ying Guangji looked at Su Ren: "Why are you suddenly so interested in Wei Qing?" ”

"I don't know, I just think this person is very strange, now it seems that my guess is right, and I hope that Gongzi Ying will step up his investigation and find out the details of this person as soon as possible."

Ying Guangji nodded.

Thorn suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing, Liu Hong, the fifth son of the King of Huainan, is here again and lives in ......!" Thorn didn't say the second half of the sentence, and turned his head to look at Ying Guangji.

Ying Guangji glared at Thorn: "Doesn't you live in Hengshan Palace?" See what I do? ”

Thorn smiled: "It's not that I'm afraid that you have any ideas, what do you say is good about that woman?" You two are running to her? ”

Su Ren couldn't hold back his laughter, turned his head and hurriedly spit out the tea he had drunk into his mouth. It happened that Lao Jia came in to deliver wine and food, and when he saw Su Ren vomiting out the tea, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, is this tea not to your liking?" I'm going to call someone for a change? ”

Su Ren shook his head and said while wiping his mouth: "No matter what you do, the tea is good, it's just a little hot." ”

Lao Jia turned his head and counted down a few guys, looking at the aggrieved appearance of the guys, Su Ren really couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, it's not easy for them, it's okay!" ”

Lao Jia You was puzzled, glared at a few guys fiercely, and then put the wine and food on the table, touched a teapot, and retreated with someone without saying anything.

As soon as Lao Jia left, Thorn looked at the door: "You are not authentic as the shopkeeper of Cuixiang Building, I don't believe your words, I touched a teapot when I left just now." ”

Su Ren smiled: "People have long seen it, touching the teapot is to say that he knows, but he will keep his mouth shut." ”

Thorn's eyes widened: "Wouldn't it? Why is this shopkeeper of yours almost the same as Ying Gongzi's subordinates? After speaking, I felt speechless, and hurriedly looked at Ying Guangji.

Ying Guangji glared at Thorn, looked at Su Ren again, and said to Thorn: "Don't think that he is a good person, he dares to come to Lu'an with two stupid people, he Su Ren is not crazy!" Our people are all in secret, other people's people are blatant, there are all kinds of people coming and going in this wine shop, pay a little attention to it and know more than we know, otherwise he wouldn't have opened Cuixiang Building everywhere. ”

Hearing the word stupid, the brute bull was about to stand up, but was pulled by Huang Shisan, and signaled with his eyes, just don't make trouble and eat.

Thorn gasped, and looked at Su Ren's eyes again: "I won't come to Cuixianglou again for dinner next time." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry, it's not as exaggerated as he said, Cuixianglou is just to find out the news, don't do your dirty things, I dare to guarantee that my Cuixianglou has never died, there was no one before, there will be no now, and there will be no in the future, if you want to eat, just come, I will give you a discount." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Thorn smiled and continued to eat.

Su Ren suddenly thought of something and asked Thorn: "Liu Hong didn't make any moves since he came?" ”

Thorn shook his head: "Not for the time being, I have stayed with the woman all the time, and I have never even left the door." ”

"It's strange, I came to Lu'an quietly, but I stayed there with Liu Wucai, why? Just to have an affair with his cousin. Can't make sense? I have time to bother Brother Jing to watch that kid closely, this guy fought with me from Yelang Country to Hengshan Country, only he seduced women, but I have never seen him tied to his hands and feet by women. ”

Thorn nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely watch him." ”

Su Ren thought for a while: "It's weird, it's too weird, I always feel that Liu Hong and Wei Qing have some connection, but there is no evidence, which makes people feel uneasy." ”

"Do you suspect that Wei Qing is the person of the King of Huainan?" Ying Guangji asked.

"It's not that there is no such possibility, Liu An, the king of Huainan, wants to rebel, which is no secret in Jiangnan, but this person is very good at disguise, from the perspective of the imperial court, Liu An has no ambitions, likes to engage in academic research, and got a group of people to compile what "Huainanzi", catering to the psychology of those who believe in Huang Lao's doctrine in the court, intending to belittle the policies implemented by the emperor, so as to win people's hearts."

"A "Huainanzi" is sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, Liu An gathered thousands of scribes, and the duration is even longer to make people smack, such a painstaking management, for a little word-of-mouth and theoretical basis, do not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to compile only one book, the goal is clear, the forbearance is resolute, ordinary people will never be able to do it! And Wei Qing's approach in Hengshan Country is similar to Liu An, if you want to say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, I definitely don't believe it. ”

Ying Guangji nodded: "Liu An is indeed not simple, it's a pity!" It's a pity to meet such a monster as you. ”
