had something to say with King Qi, Yang Lian and Princess Huairou briefly said a few words, and promised to go to her after discussing things with King Qi. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Princess Huairou reluctantly let Yang Lian leave.

The reason why the King of Qi summoned Yang Lian was that he was very worried about the recent events, and almost the entire Jinling City was rumored that Yang Lian had privately built weapons and made gunpowder, which was no different from rebellion. Li Jingsui didn't believe it, but all kinds of rumors became more and more powerful, and the three of them became tigers, and Li Jingsui had to believe it.

In order to find out the truth, the worried Li Jingsui finally couldn't hold back and found Yang Lian.

"King Qi." Yang Lian entered the door and gave a salute.

"Wu Hou, you are here, sit here." Li Jingsui waved his hand, and between his eyebrows, there was still an unsolvable sorrow.

Yang Lian saw King Qi's concern, but he didn't understand why he was worried, so he asked, "King Qi has a worried face, could it be that something big has happened?" ”

"Wu Hou, you are asking knowingly." King Qi sighed and said: "The recent explosion in the south of the city, Lone heard about it, the imperial brother ordered the three divisions to be tried, Lone's heart, but where is it hanging." Wu Hou, what's going on here? ”

"King Qi, things are actually very simple, in this world, how can a thief come out and admit that he is a thief? That place, I have already investigated, is the secret of the Yan King Li Hongji and his party, they secretly build weapons and make gunpowder, just thinking that one day if they can't win the heir, they will use force. Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui was taken aback, he couldn't believe it, not only did he not believe Yang Lian's words, but he also didn't believe that King Yan would come to this point in order to win the heir. Li Jingsui looked at him hesitantly and said, "King Yan, is there any evidence for this matter?" ”

"Although there is no at present, but at present, the Yan Wang party suddenly attacked me, obviously planning and then acting, they may not know what kind of conspiracy." Yang Lian said that only a few people know the real inside story about Chengnan, and he will not tell others, even King Qi and Princess Huairou.

"Damn!" Li Jingsui couldn't help clenching his fists, frankly speaking, he didn't have much ambition for the throne, so he repeatedly refused, but with the development of events later, Li Jingsui found that this was not just a battle between Qi Yan, but a life-and-death struggle, Li Hongji attacked him several times, in a vain attempt to kill him. It doesn't matter if he dies, but if he dies, what will happen to his daughter? Isn't it to be bullied by others? In this case, he needs to fight to protect his family, so he tried his best to win over Yang Lian at the beginning.

Yang Lian saw that he had successfully provoked Li Jingsui's emotions, and said quietly: "This time the three divisions will be tried, and the situation is extremely grim, but please rest assured King Qi, I will definitely not admit defeat." ”

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Wu Hou, on the day of the trial, Lone will definitely send someone to watch, if there is something wrong, Lone will protect you no matter what." Li Jingsui knew very well that with the expansion of Yang Lian's prestige in the DPRK, he and Yang Lian complemented each other, and if Yang Lian was defeated, his road would come to an end. So no matter what, Yang Lian must be saved, and Yang Lian must be saved, so that the King of Qi can have a chance to ascend the throne as the emperor and protect his family.

Yang Lian clenched his fists and said, "Thank you King Qi for your kindness." He did not refuse the kindness of King Qi.

Li Jingsui sighed, thought for a while, and said: "Huairou's affairs will be done as said a few days ago, after this matter is over, find a good time to take Huairou over." Huairou has already been married, and if she stays in the Qi Palace, it is inevitable that others will be strange when they see it, and this discussion will inevitably increase. ”

Yang Lian nodded in agreement, and said something to King Qi for a while, and then left. Before leaving, King Qi instructed him to go and talk to Princess Huairou. Yang Lian readily agreed.

Walking out of the imperial study, the sky was already dark, and when Yang Lian arrived at Princess Huairou's boudoir, there was already a burst of vegetable fragrance inside. Princess Huairou stood aside to command, and Green Dress was busy nervously. Smelling the aroma of vegetables, Yang Lian was suddenly a little hungry, so he walked in quickly.

"Ah, Wu Hou." The busy green clothes saw Yang Lian and exclaimed, and then his face turned red.

Princess Huairou heard the voice, raised her head, saw Yang Lian, and said, "Wu, Xianggong, you are here." ”

When Yang Lian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at this time, Lu Sheng set up the dishes and chopsticks, covered his mouth and left with a smile.

Yang Lian looked at the table, there were several bowls of broken golden rice, all fried in oil, smelling a fragrance, in addition to broken golden rice, there were mutton, stewed chicken and some seasonal vegetables, full of tables, people at this time to eat, compared to before, there are many fewer taboos, women can also be on the table, but the meals are served separately, each eating the food in front of them.

Slowly the dishes were placed on the table, Yang Lian also felt hungry, smiled and thanked him, sat down, looked at the dishes on the table, and wondered when Princess Huairou would be able to cook such a table of good dishes?

Things soon came to light, Yang Lian knew the level of Princess Huairou, but with her identity, it was not unusual for her to not be able to cook. When Yang Lian was eating, Princess Huairou held her cheeks and looked at Yang Lian, but she didn't eat.

Yang Lian couldn't help but look at her strangely and asked, "Isn't the princess hungry?" ”

Princess Huairou shook her head, but asked: "I heard about that matter, and in two days, it will be tried by the three divisions, how sure are you of this matter?" ”

Although she is a woman, after all, she is in Jinling, and she knows how terrible the political struggle is, so she asked.

Yang Lian smiled, many people are concerned about this matter, but their thoughts are very subtle, some people hope that Yang Lian will not fall, some people hope that Yang Lian will fall immediately, it is best to die immediately, everyone's position is different, and their thoughts are different, which is normal.

In addition to some people who are inextricably linked to Yang Lian's interests, perhaps only King Qi's father and daughter are concerned about Yang Lian, and King Qi also has his own careful thoughts, he hopes to rely on Yang Lian's strength to fight against Li Hongji, so in comparison, Princess Huairou's mind is much simpler.

Yang Lian put down his chopsticks and said, "This matter, don't worry, I will definitely be fine." ”

Hearing Yang Lian so sure, Princess Huairou gradually relieved herself, for so long, there seemed to be nothing he couldn't do. Princess Huairou looked at Yang Lian and suddenly asked, "Is Empress E okay?" ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”

"You didn't do that?" Princess Huairou asked.

Regarding how to answer Princess Huairou, Yang Lian had already thought about it, Princess Huairou's personality was more impulsive, and she couldn't hide her words, so Yang Lian would never tell her about this matter, so she shook her head firmly and denied it.

When Princess Huairou saw Yang Lian's denial, she couldn't help but become more worried, what happened to Emperor Zhou E? Is she safe or not? For a moment, Princess Huairou completely forgot that Yang Lian had made a promise.

Yang Lian ate, chatted with Princess Huairou for a while, said some words, it was not early, then got up to leave, and when he left the mansion, King Qi sent a few guards to escort Yang Lian back to the house. It's a critical time to put safety first. Yang Lian did not refuse and accepted the kindness of King Qi.

The group walked towards Yang's mansion, but nothing happened along the way, but the soldiers who patrolled the night saw that it was the guards of the Qi Palace, and saw that it was Wu Hou who returned to the mansion, and several clever teams were personally leading the troops to follow Yang Lian, escorting them all the way.

When Yang Lian went to the Qi Palace, there were only four or five people, and when he came back, there were more than thirty people, and the momentum seemed quite huge. One of the team members was quite clever, laughing with him, and said: "Wu Hou fought in the south and the north, conquered the city for the Tang Dynasty, and was a hero in the eyes of his humble position. ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said with a smile: "These are just luck." ”

"Wu Hou is humble, if he can have the opportunity in the future and be able to fight on the battlefield, how good it would be." The young team was full of eagerness.

Yang Lian suddenly laughed, the battle on the battlefield is to gamble with his life, in the past few years of the battle, I don't know how many people have died, even if they get the pension, their family must be extremely distressed, looking at the young team is looking at the eagerness, Yang Lian did not hit his mind.

When the group arrived at the gate of Yang's Mansion, the gate was open, and Zhao Peng was standing at the door, looking out incessantly, looking forward to it. Seeing Yang Lian coming, Zhao Peng hurriedly walked over and said, "Wu Hou." ”

"It's so late, you're still waiting for me at the door, what's the matter?" Yang Lian turned over and dismounted, and asked.

Seeing this, the guards of the Qi Palace's mansion hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Marquis Wu, since you have arrived at the door, the lowly and others will leave." ”

Seeing this, the patrolling soldiers also left under the pretext that there must be something wrong with the Yang Mansion, they are outsiders, and it is not easy to mix, but before leaving, they vaguely said that if Wu Hou is in need, they are willing to do the work of dogs and horses.

Yang Lian understood this heart, said goodbye to everyone, Yang Lian entered Yang's mansion and asked, "Zhao Peng, what's the urgency?" ”

Zhao Peng hurriedly said: "Marquis Wu, it's in the palace." ”

"Where are the people?" Yang Lian's question was very brief.

"Study." Zhao Peng replied.

"Make a pot of tea and come to the study." After Yang Lian finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the study.

In the study, Gao Ze was pacing restlessly, as the henchman of the Son of Heaven, Gao Ze had always been entrusted with important tasks, and today he was ordered to come to Yang Lian's mansion just to know something. Is Yang Lian involved? If it is really involved, once the crime is convicted, Li Jing's mood is complicated, on the one hand, Yang Lian is a material that can be made, on the other hand, the Son of Heaven will never allow his courtiers to rebel.

Gao Ze has been by the side of the Son of Heaven for many years, although the Son of Heaven did not say it explicitly, he knows the Son of Heaven's mind very well. When Gao Ze came to the Yang Mansion, he knew that Yang Lian went to the Qi Palace's Mansion at dusk, and he should be back soon, Gao Ze was afraid that he would miss it, so he stayed in the Yang Mansion and waited for Yang Lian.

Yang Lian's study, full of books, most of them are military books, a very small part of the Confucian sages' classics, Gao Ze has been with Li Jing for many years, knows a lot of words, waiting for boredom, he took out a book and looked at it, in the books, many places are full of Yang Lian's reading experience, Gao Ze slowly flipped through and found that Yang Lian attaches great importance to loyalty and filial piety, he depreciated some courtiers with a very bad reputation in history, the Bank of China in the previous dynasty, and Feng Dao and so on, were reprimanded by Yang Lian.

Gao Ze knew that Feng Dao, this person Tang, Jin, and Han, now works for Guo Wei's Great Zhou, and also served for Liao Taizong during the period, and is now around seventy years old. Wheel ability, Feng Dao is not bad, he promotes virtuous and virtuous, works close to the people, and has a very high reputation. The only thing that made Yang Lian criticize was his "three family slaves".

Gao Ze looked at it for a while, and suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, he reacted, and hurriedly hid the book in his arms, and then he pretended to pace leisurely, looking at some of the calligraphy and paintings hanging by Yang Lian in the study, looking appreciative.

Yang Lian came in, saw Gao Ze, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Gao came to visit late at night, but Yang Lian was not in the house, so it was really a sin for Father-in-law Gao to wait for a long time." ”

Gao Ze hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wu Hou is busy with things, our family won't say much, Your Majesty sent our family to ask, tomorrow is the time for the three divisions to be tried, is this matter done by Wu Hou?" ”

Yang Lian looked at Gao Ze seriously and said, "Father-in-law Gao, if it is really Benhou who did it at this time, what will happen to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Gao Ze was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Lian to answer like this, if it was really Yang Lian who did it, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven would inevitably feel distressed, and tears would kill him, even if Yang Lian was capable, if Yu Guo was disloyal, what was the use of keeping it?

Yang Lian couldn't help laughing when he saw Gao Ze's expression, and said, "Grandpa Gao, Ben Hou is just joking with you." This matter has nothing to do with me, tomorrow's triage of the three divisions, everything will be revealed, and when the time comes, there will be a conclusion. ”

Gao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Wu Hou's joke really made our family sweat." Since Wu Hou is so confident, our family will go back to the palace and explain the situation to the Son of Heaven. ”

Yang Lian nodded, at this time, it is indeed not early. He thought about it, called Zhao Peng, and ordered to go down, and several soldiers escorted Gao Ze back to the palace. Although Gao Ze said that he had attendants with him, if something happened to him, Yang Lian would be bad.

Gao Ze does not shirk, he attaches great importance to life.

Yang Lian was about to send Gao Ze away, and suddenly smiled: "Father-in-law Gao, Ben Hou suddenly remembered, I went to Wu Yue Country last time and brought back some good things, some of which were given to Your Majesty and the Queen, and Ben Hou also had a few things for you, but I forgot one thing." ”

Gao Ze hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wu Hou, our family can't always take Wu Hou's things." ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Father-in-law Gao, although Ben Hou has not experienced those things in the palace, he has heard of them. This thing, Gonggong Gao took it to the queen, and the queen was very happy to think about it. With that, Yang Lian walked to the bookshelf on the side and looked at it carefully.

Gao Ze's heart suddenly, for fear that Yang Lian would find out the clue, but the entire bookshelf was only missing a book, Yang Lian obviously didn't care, he took out a box from the crack of the book, opened it and saw that it was a headdress made of fine pearls, under the light, the jewelry shone brightly, Yang Lian suddenly raised his hand and extinguished the candle beside him.

The room suddenly fell into darkness, Gao Ze was a little caught off guard, I don't know why Yang Lian was suddenly like this? He closed his eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness, and when he opened them, he saw an object not far away, glowing softly in the darkness.
