"Huaizuo Mingdu, Zhuxi is the best place, and the saddle is less stationed at the beginning. Ten miles after the spring breeze, the wheat is green. Since Huma peeped into the river, the waste pond arbors, still tired of talking soldiers. It is getting dusk, and the clear corners are blowing cold, all in the empty city.

Du Lang is rewarded, and now it is so heavy that it must be shocked. Longitudinal cardamom word work, Qinglou dreams are good, and it is difficult to be affectionate. The twenty-four bridges are still there, the waves are swinging, and the cold moon is silent. Reading the red medicine by the bridge, who is born every year? ”

Ni Niang finished singing, left the flower path, and came towards the stone pavilion, and Qi Ran's eyes merged with the artistic conception in the words.

More than 300 years ago, the gold lord Wan Yanliang led the army to sack Yangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty for the second time, turning the Yangzhou city of "ten miles of spring breeze" in Du Mu's poem into a "waste pond arbor" in Jiang Kui's words.

A few months ago, I experienced the tragic scene of the Tatar thieves entering the prison, and now I suddenly heard Ni Niang singing Jiang Kui's song "Yangzhou Slow", Zhu Qiming's thoughts suddenly flew into the smoke and clouds of history, and his mood was shrouded in a tragic atmosphere, and a strong sense of mission was stirred in his mind again.

Fang Zheng on the side approached Zhu Qiming, glanced at Ni Niang, and looked vigilant.

Sitting in the stone pavilion, savoring the afterglow of the song, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but recall the magnificence of the imperial city and the prosperity of the city in the south of the Yangtze River. "Lord Fang, I don't know how many famous cities in the Song Dynasty have survived to this day."

Fang Zheng said casually: "If you talk about the ancient city, there is not much left. Alas, if they are unwilling to expand their territory, they must at least protect the territory and the people, and the land will be passed down from generation to generation, and the population will multiply from generation to generation. Unable to protect the territory and the people, no matter how majestic the palace is, no matter how prosperous the city is, it will inevitably turn into a waste pond arbor. ”

Zhu Qiming looked at Fang Zheng in a daze, thinking that the northern border seemed to have become a borderless land, and he didn't know for a moment whether to praise Fang Zheng's insight, or to remind him to pay attention to the proportions of his speech.

"I have lost my word, please forgive your highness!"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Qiming waved his hand, "It's just idle talk." ”

"Childe," Ni Niang came to Zhu Qiming's side to salute.

"I know it all right, why do I have to act?" Zhu Qiming said indifferently.

"Yes, Male······ Your Highness. ”

Zhu Qiming shook his head, thinking of the restlessness in the north, but there are still people who make a fortune, he doesn't feel good in his heart. "Jinyun Pavilion's financial route may not be in the territory of Daming, right?"

Ni Niang's expression froze, turned around slightly, bowed her head and said nothing.

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at Fang Zheng, who hesitated and said: "The key points to the Western Regions have been controlled by the Warat people, and the trade route is close to being cut off. ”

Is it this windfall profit that Jinyun Pavilion is mapping? Zhu Qiming remembered the Samarkand caravan he had seen in Lujia Village, and they were so cautious at that time, it must have something to do with the hardships and dangers they had experienced on the way. Asking for money at the door of the robber's house, this bowl of rice is not for everyone!

A pair of starry eyes swept towards the square, and the sharp light matched the sun near noon. "Trade with the countries of the Western Regions is extremely risky, and although there are huge profits, not everyone can do it. The diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and Warat could not guarantee the safety of the caravan at all, and the real effect was personal relations. ”

Personal friendship? Isn't it only the dignitaries of the dynasty who can have a personal friendship with Warat?

Daming has been surrounded and harassed by Warat for a long time, which will damage the interests of Daming and the vast majority of the people, but there are always a few people who can benefit from it, and there will be internal and external collusion if there are huge profits, which is the misfortune of Daming!

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that how could the world blame the businesswoman for not knowing the hatred of the country? If you want to blame, you can only blame the powerful for ignoring the worries of the country! "Jinyun Pavilion has vast magical powers, and the real masters may be all prominent people."

After all, Zhu Qiming was young, and his wording was too straightforward, turning what should have been an intriguing conversation into a stereotypical Q&A, which made Fang Zheng quite uncomfortable.

"I don't know much about it, and even if I hear about it, it's inconvenient to talk nonsense." Fang Zheng clasped his fists and saluted, his attitude was sincere, but his tone was resolute.

Ni Niang's starry eyes that were originally staring at Fang Zheng suddenly turned to Zhu Qiming, her gaze turned dim, and finally shook her head, speechless.

Zhu Qiming was a little annoyed, I'm afraid this conversation is going to end up! However, there is no need to rush to find out the inside story of Jinyun Pavilion.

"Who is Yun Niang?" Zhu Qiming changed the topic at the right time.

Fang Zheng looked at Zhu Qiming in surprise, and the uneasiness in his eyes flashed. "Your Highness has seen Yun Niang?"

"Oh. Ni Niang inadvertently mentioned Yun Niang. Ni Niang seemed to be deliberately hiding something for Zhu Qiming, and the other party was showing a little caution.

"I don't know the details, I only know that Yun Niang is a person from Jinyun Pavilion, and this Ni Niang seems to be controlled by her. Oh, Your Highness, the Jinyi Guards all know that the people who have seen Jinyun Pavilion must treat them as half of their own, this is a rule that has been followed for many years, and the Jingying is the same, but no one has given an order clearly. Fang Zheng replied briskly this time.

Fang Zheng shook off the information of Yun Niang and Ni Niang without any scruples, presumably Yun Niang and Ni Niang are both errand runners on the surface, and the masters behind the scenes are probably hidden in the clouds, and even Fang Zheng rarely gets a glimpse of his true face.

The dignitaries of the court and the central government use public weapons for personal gain, and they also secretly make friends with the Warat people, they must be high and high, and the wind passes without a trace! However, the entire Beijing army is opening the door for this, and such news is still shocking.

Echoing Jiang Kui's "Yangzhou Slow" in his ears, Zhu Qiming felt that Ni Niang's singing was a clever hint, she must have been very keenly aware of the situation in the north, and it was expected that there would be a bloody battle between Daming and Wara, and in the future, Daming would either conquer Warat or suffer from the ravages of Warat's iron hooves, so sooner or later, Jinyun Pavilion's financial road would encounter great trouble, and at that time, Ni Niang and they would really be like duckweed!

In this way, Ni Niang's "Grace Chart" is not a pretext, but a true expression? Zhu Qiming faintly felt that things might not be so simple, but her hidden meaning seemed to be safe for a fallen prince, and that was enough!

"Jinyun Pavilion should always have a house number, where is it in the capital?" Zhu Qiming said indifferently.

Fang Zheng shook his head in response, he obviously didn't know where Jinyun Pavilion was.

"Please forgive Ni Niang for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of His Highness, it is best for His Royal Highness to put his mind on how to return to Beijing, and when he returns to Beijing, it is not difficult to find out the details of Jinyun Pavilion as a royal clansman; If there are always people coming in and out here, and if they are accidentally calculated, they will not be able to return to Beijing, and His Royal Highness's big heart will be in vain! Ni Niang seems to be deliberately leading the topic to return to Beijing safely.

Fang Zheng looked very uncomfortable, "Your Highness, you are careless, I wanted to find a few musicians who know the rhythm of the music and the number of etiquette to come and serve Your Highness, but now it seems that the three women must be chicks, so let's detain them in the house and send them out on a certain day." ”

Hearing Fang Zheng mention the three weird women, Zhu Qiming's heart sank. Even if the three women are newcomers and don't understand the rules, then why do they approach the Xun family's nursing home?

That's it, these are the things that should be worried about Fangzheng! A moment later, Zhu Qiming still gave Fang Zheng a vote of absolute confidence. "This seat can be trusted by Lord Fang."

"Lord Fang, since you invited Ni Niang, why do you have to go to those so-called musicians who come from unknown sources? Ni Niang, see how you justify yourself! Ni Niang's questioning voice was a little harsh, obviously with anger.

"Your Highness." Fang Zheng took a step forward, clasped his fists and argued: "I saw Ni Niang a few days ago, and after finding His Royal Highness, the first person I thought of was her, after all, she was half of my own person, I originally expected her to come to serve the banquet and serve tea, who knew that after she came, she actually called herself Tongyin Law, and it was really unknown before the next, if she knew her Tongyin Law, why bother to invite others!" ”

Saw Ni Niang a few days ago? Could it be that Ni Niang has been in the state city of Baoan Zhou for a long time?

In the blink of an eye, the gentle and lovely Ni Niang turned into a little pepper, "Joke! Ni Niang's poetry and songs are all learned, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all involved, and she has long been famous in Jinyiwei, and you have never heard of it if you don't believe it. ”

"Fang Mou is a person who leads the troops, how can he pay attention to such trivial matters······

"That's it!" Zhu Qiming got up and said, "You guys go down." He couldn't help but trust Fang Zheng, and unconsciously became less wary of Ni Niang, seeing that the two were arguing, it was a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly spoke out and sent the two away.

Ni Niang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Zheng first, "Your Highness has spoken, everyone is interesting, don't disturb the peace of His Highness!" ”

Ni Niang snorted lightly, saluted Zhu Qiming and left. Founder immediately retired.

Ni Niang always mentions the suspiciousness of Fang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhu Qiming is unwilling to follow her train of thought, and he doesn't want to think much about the three strange women. With these two auras, the founder side represents the most orthodox and credible rescue force, so the other party cannot be suspicious for no reason.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiming felt that his body had become much more relaxed, and he immediately got up and looked at the courtyard in the house and the houses outside the wall from a high distance, and his mood gradually became calmer.

It was already early in the afternoon, and the sun outside the pavilion was like fire, and the breeze swept through the small ponds and streams, bringing refreshing coolness and dissolving the heat wave set off by the hot sun.

Leaving the stone pavilion, wandering in the path among the flowers, feeling the beauty and fragrance of peonies and peonies in the garden, Zhu Qiming looked south leisurely and leisurely, only to see Niu San not far away, pressing the handle of the knife with one hand, and was quickly patrolling the captain in charge of guarding.

For Zhu Qiming, if the trust of the other party is mostly from rational judgment, then the trust in Niu San is completely intuitive.

With a move in his heart, he walked towards Niu San
