Luo Tong lives in the north, Wei Qiao lives in the south, Fu Mingli and Zhou Yan are in the middle, the four of them sit around the table, and there is a middle-aged beauty dressed in black across from her, with a beautiful look and exquisite appearance.

"Luo Tong, I haven't seen you for many years." The woman in black smiled and glanced at a few people, nodded slightly, and then chuckled at Luo Tong and said.

It can be seen from her expression that the two not only knew each other back then, but also had a very close relationship.

Luo Tong looked at the woman in black with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "It's been fifteen years." ”

The woman in black showed a look of amazement on her face and sighed: "Yes, it's been fifteen years, and I've finally returned to Jinling." ”

Zhou Yan and Fu Mingli both sat upright and did not move, their waists were straight, their hands were on their laps, and their expressions were very restrained.

Wei Qiao looked at the strange expressions of the other three people, and looked at the woman in black in front of him. Dressed ordinarily, with an elegant temperament, gentle and calm, the eyes that seem to see everything clearly, revealing endless vicissitudes of life.

This woman is definitely not ordinary. Wei Qiao quietly withdrew his gaze and came to a conclusion in his heart.

Luo Tong didn't seem to know how to communicate with the woman in black in front of her, Princess Li, who had always been good at dancing with long sleeves, frowned at this time, her eyes were worried, and she looked embarrassed.

The woman in black looked at Luo Tong and smiled, "Don't worry, they all know that I'm back." didn't give Luo Tong a chance to speak again, and turned his gaze to Fu Mingli, the corners of his delicate mouth showed a long-lost smile, and said, "Master Fu, let's meet again." ”

Fu Mingli immediately bowed down and said with a respectful expression: "Fu Mingli has seen Concubine Zhen. ”

Concubine Zhen? Wei Qiao's heart moved, and he looked at the woman in black in front of him with a slightly surprised expression, although he guessed that this woman was unusual, he never expected that she was from the palace.

The woman in black, who is Concubine Zhen, smiled lightly and said, "More than ten years have passed, and Fu Gongzi doesn't have to worry about that little thing." ”

Fu Mingli still bowed and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zhen seemed to show a hint of disappointment and a sigh in her eyes, turned her head to look at Zhou Yan again, examined it carefully, and said with a smile: "Your father should have guessed why I came back, right?" ”

Zhou Yan also bowed and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, my father said that Master Yinkong is gone, and Niangniang should come back." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded lightly, sighed and said: "Unfortunately, my sister and Xiao Ya'er were buried in the sea of fire together, and I left Jinling without interest. ”

'Sister Little Sprout', 'Sea of Fire', 'Boring'...... Wei Qiao listened quietly, and from their words and words, he was full of curiosity about the concubine in front of him.

Concubine Zhen sighed, and said with a smile, "Go back and tell your father that there are some things that should be returned." ”

Zhou Kai hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, Zhou Kai will tell me when she goes back." ”

Concubine Zhen chuckled and nodded, her eyes turned to Wei Qiao again, looked carefully for a while, nodded lightly and smiled: "Wei Gongzi is indeed outstanding in talent, handsome and extraordinary, and he will definitely be the emperor's right-hand man in the future, indispensable." ”

Wei Qiao didn't know why, he seemed to feel that Concubine Zhen looked at him with something special, but he couldn't say it. Moreover, there seemed to be something in his words, but Wei Qiao couldn't guess it.

"Mother's award." Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and bowed slightly.

The smile on Concubine Zhen's face seemed to be a little more, and she looked at Wei Qiao and said: "I guess you can't understand, I am happy to see a few old friends today, so I will tell you about some of the dusty past events in the past, and it is very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart all these years." ”

Luo Tong and the three of them did not speak, their expressions were already calm, and now they had a trace of complicated emotion.

Wei Qiao smiled calmly and nodded.

Concubine Zhen's eyes showed joy in her eyes, her eyes wandered out of the window, and she said softly: "I guess you have also heard of us, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhen." We were twin sisters, and we were quite famous in Jinling, and there were countless young talents and even dignitaries who chased and intercepted us at that time. However, in the end, we both entered the palace and became the concubines of Emperor Wenzheng. Not long after becoming a concubine, my sister became pregnant and gave birth to Xiao Ya'er, a cute little princess. That year was our happiest. Later, we went home with the emperor to save our relatives, but we didn't expect that there was an assassin ambush at home. There were not many guards at that time, and they soon threatened the emperor. At that time, there was a fire and thick smoke, and my sister changed into a dragon robe to lead the assassin to the inner courtyard, and I took the emperor to kill him. In the end, my sister burned Xiao Ya'er alive and died, while I went away for fifteen years. ”

Wei Qiao looked at Concubine Zhen's face that changed several times, her expression was calm and calm, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart. It wasn't like a melancholy, but it seemed to be a deliberate and brief way to tell him something.

Apparently the other three knew about it, and she told herself that there was some special purpose? Wei Qiao looked at Concubine Zhen, his eyes showing a hint of doubt.

Concubine Zhen saw his doubts but smiled and didn't explain, she quickly restrained the painful memories on her face, and suddenly chuckled again: "Wei Gongzi probably doesn't know, Qingning's kung fu is taught by me, it stands to reason that you should call me a master." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned, she hadn't seen Wu Qingning make a move, but she also knew that she was definitely not weak, but she didn't expect it to be taught by Concubine Zhen in front of her.

The relationship between these four giants is really complicated enough.

But then Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "You don't have to take it seriously, our relationship is very complicated, and we have our own friends." ”

Wei Qiao thought about this sentence in his heart, nodded with a light smile on his face, and said, "Yes." He can't call this master, at least after Wu Qingning has seen her.

Concubine Zhen glanced at Wei Qiao with deep meaning, then turned to the other three, and said with a chuckle, "My small building is still the dowry given to us by the emperor back then, and I will definitely welcome a few people who come often, but it can't affect the concubine's business, hehe, I rely on this restaurant to live without support." ”

When Zhou Kai heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Niang Niang forgive me, Zhou Kai was reckless just now, everything today is counted in Zhou Kai's account, and I ask Niang Niang to be tolerant." ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, turned to Wei Qiao again, and said, "Master Wei, you scared away Mr. Scholar I finally invited, how are you going to accompany me?" ”

Wei Qiao looked at Zhou Yan's movements, thoughtful, coupled with Concubine Zhen's self-description just now, Wei Qiao groaned in his heart, bowed slightly and said: "Niangniang, do you think this will work, I will come here to talk for half an hour every next day, and a month will be counted as compensation, and during this period, I will find a storyteller for Niangniang, what do you think?" ”

"Every three quarters of an hour," Concubine Zhen thought slightly, and bargained: "For two months, I will find the storyteller myself." ”

Wei Qiao groaned slightly in his heart, and said with a light smile, "Yes." ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, then turned to Fu Mingli and said, "Master Fu, I heard that Brother Ling wants to buy my Huiwen Building, why don't you bring him to talk?" ”

When Fu Mingli heard this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Niangniang forgives the sin, the seventh brother will not change his year, Mingli will definitely tell his father when he goes back, and he will serve the family law punishment, and ask the mother for forgiveness." ”

Concubine Zhen smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Master Fu doesn't have to think about it, now that the concubine is living in embarrassment, she wants to change to something else." If Brother Ling is really interested in taking over, you might as well let him come and talk to me personally, as long as the price is right, Huiwenlou can be sold. ”

Fu Mingli lowered his head and his eyes rolled wildly, and he raised his head slightly for a long time and said, "What Niangniang said is true?" ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, "Naturally." ”

Fu Mingli's heart was slightly relieved, according to his understanding, this Concubine Zhen is a person who practices martial arts, and she is bold, so she should not be angry with a child, and now that she has said it in public, it is true.

Fu Mingli raised his head and said, "Then Mingli will go back and tell him immediately, and let the seventh brother come over tomorrow." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded lightly, looked at Luo Tong again, and said, "Is the queen mother in good health?" ”

Fu Mingli saw that Concubine Zhen didn't look at him, so he hurriedly and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head.

The complicated look on Luo Tong's face had disappeared, and this time he chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I was injured too much before, and now it's quite uncomfortable." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded a little gloomily and said, "Yes, the queen mother fought side by side with the emperor back then, and after life and death, it is inevitable that there will be old injuries on her body." I have here some of the prescriptions left by my master that you can bring to Niangniang, maybe it will be useful. ”

Luo Tong looked at the box that Concubine Zhen took out from under the table, frowned slightly and said, "You, don't you go back?" ”

Concubine Zhen shook her head with a smile and said, "It's just that there are some wishes that have not been fulfilled, and I will leave once the matter is over." ”

Luo Tong seemed to want to persuade again, but Concubine Zhen stood up with a smile and said, "It's already a pleasure to be able to see four old friends and concubines one day, and I hope that the four of you don't forget to promise me." ”

This is an obvious send-off, Luo Tong, Fu Mingli, Zhou Wei, and Wei Qiao stood up in order, bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, farewell." ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, and sent a few people to the door.

The four of them left in turn, went downstairs with a tacit understanding, and then walked to the gate silently.

At the gate, Zhou Yan tilted his head and glanced at Wei Qiao angrily, twisted his brows, and got into the carriage with Lu Hu with the indignant and unwilling expression you are waiting for.

And Wei Qiao, Luo Tong, and Fu Mingli stood together.

Luo Tong held the box in his hand, looked at Wei Qiao with a smile and said: "Wei Gongzi, the governor of Tanzhou was a subordinate of King Li in the past, if Wei Gongzi is in need, you can come to King Li's Mansion to find me." ”

In the important places of Daqi, there are generally governors under the history of the assassins, and the history of the assassins is in charge of local political affairs, and the governors are in charge of the military, and the military and government are separated. Such as Tanzhou, Suzhou, Chongzhou are all.

Wei Qiao smiled lightly and said, "Then I will definitely bother Madame." ”

Luo Tong smiled at Wei Qiao, turned around and walked towards the carriage not far away, and at the same time took Zhou Tai who was hiding.
