Jiang Ci came out of the Tang Mansion, gritted his teeth, and breathed out fiercely at the sky.

Just now, he not only got Tang Ge Lao's personal promise, but even many adults showed favor to him one after another, which made Jiang Ci's originally gloomy mood instantly full of sunshine, and he was even full of confidence and ambition to think that he must do a big job when he returned to Yushitai, so that Tang Ge Lao and them could see his ability!

"Hmph, Niu Yilang, Wei Qiao, let's see!" Jiang Ci secretly took a breath in his heart, looked at the sky and said loudly.

For Jiang Ci, Wei Qiao naturally didn't care too much, explained the matter, and began to deal with today's affairs.

"Young Master, are you really going to Huiwen Building to lecture?"

The next day, Wei Qiao didn't have to go to work, Wu Qingning accompanied Concubine Zhen, Li Xiluan had a lot of sequelae to deal with, and the bored Wei Zhongcheng pulled two little girls to squat at the door to play chess.

This sentence was asked by Wan'er, she stood next to Xiangling, her big eyes were full of doubts, naturally she didn't know that Huiwenlou was Concubine Zhen's.

Wei Qiao looked down at the chessboard, nodded with a light smile, and said casually: "Well, I'll go tomorrow, and I haven't done it yet." ”

Wan'er looked at Wei Qiao with wide eyes, fluttering. In her eyes, her young master is not a person who is willing to suffer.

Xiangling pinched the chess pieces in her small hands, and couldn't think of where to put them for a long time, so she couldn't help but rub her smooth forehead in distress, and then looked up at Wan'er pitifully, she swore to win the chess just now.

Wan'er glanced at Wei Qiao quietly, stretched out her finger and pointed to a place.

Xiangling let it go without hesitation, Wan'er's chess strength was much higher than her.

"Wrong." As soon as Xiangling put it down, Wan'er said in a low voice.

Xiangling's big eyes opened, and she was really wrong, and hurriedly reached out to the chess piece.

"Hey, don't regret it." Wei Qiao immediately threw down a chess piece, and reached out to open the little girl's white and tender hand.

Xiangling rolled her eyes and stared at Wei Qiao, but she also knew a lot about the spleen surname of this stingy young master, and she would definitely not allow her to regret her chess, so she couldn't help but look up at Wan'er again.

Wan'er pursed her lips, lowered her head and looked up, quietly glanced at Wei Qiao, and then pointed to a position.

Xiangling took a closer look and put the chess pieces over.

Wei Qiao put down a chess piece and said with a smile, "If you want to listen to it, you can listen to it when the time comes, and you don't need to give money, it will be regarded as recovering your losses." ”

Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, feeling more and more that her young master must have some other purpose.

Xiangling didn't listen, she was bent on winning chess, but there was no way, she had already lost the chessboard, and her heart was entangled.

Wei Qiao glanced at it and fell.

"No, it's wrong." As soon as Wei Qiao's chess pieces fell, he found that this chess piece was dead as soon as he fell, and hurriedly picked up the chess pieces.

"No repentance." The little girl's two little hands hurriedly pressed Wei Qiao's hand, and said seriously with a straight face.

"It's wrong, it's not a regret chess," Wei Qiao said again with the chess pieces in his hand.

"Nope." The little girl took Wei Qiao's hand and tried hard to pull out the chess piece.

Wei Qiao naturally can't lose to a little girl, "Girl, it's really wrong, just this once." ”

"Hmph, I don't regret chess, and you are not allowed to regret it." The little girl seems to be bullied in a hurry, and this time she is going to bite.

Wei Qiao wanted to throw her a chestnut with his hand, but then he caught a glimpse of Wu Qingning walking slowly towards Concubine Zhen not far away, secretly glad in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I'll be here today." Then he put the chess pieces into the urn, stood up and walked towards Concubine Wuqing Ning Zhen.

The little girl looked at the chessboard that was just a few steps away from winning, grinding her teeth for a while, and her little face was full of indignation.

Wan'er snorted and smiled, she knew that Xiangling was bullied by Wei Qiao badly enough, and she even wanted to find a place to talk in her dreams, but now that she missed the opportunity, she could imagine how deep the resentment would be in her heart.

"Mother." Wei Qiao walked in front of the two Wu and smiled, and hugged his fist to Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen nodded with a smile, then glanced at Wu Qingning, and said with a kind face: "Qingning has found a good man." ”

When Wei Qiao heard this, he couldn't help but burn his old face. This newlywed wanted to ask for a second room within a few days, such a man can be called a good man, and he is very honest in his heart.

But Wu Qingning nodded lightly with a light smile, and said honestly: "Hmm." ”

Fortunately, both of them are people who know Wu Qingning's surname very well, otherwise others may not know what to say when they hear it.

Concubine Zhen glanced at Wei Qiao carefully, and suddenly said with a deep smile on her face: "Liyuan, do you remember what Master Yinkong told you before leaving?" ”

Wei Qiao nodded while recalling Master Yinkong's words, and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Zhen didn't say much, smiled lightly, and said, "Just remember, don't forget." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the words of Master Yinkong, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Although there is something strange in Master Yinkong's words, there is nothing special about it?

Concubine Zhen said again: "Liyuan, have you seen the emperor?" ”

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "I mean, see you alone, in his imperial study." ”

Wei Qiao shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Let's go meet you." Concubine Zhen smiled meaningfully at the corner of her mouth, and walked to the other side with Wu Qingning.

Wei Qiao naturally knew that this Concubine Zhen was definitely not untargeted, but he couldn't figure out the mystery in her words.

"Young Master, someone sent this." Before Wei Qiao came back to his senses, a family member hurriedly walked over and handed over a note.

Wei Qiao glanced at him, took it, opened it and saw that his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to Wan'er, "I'll go out." After saying that, he hurried away.

Wan'er at the door was stunned, looked sideways at Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, do you want to inform Dashan to follow the young master?" ”

"I'll go." When the little girl heard this, she immediately ran to the front yard.

Wei Qiao held the note in his hand, and his eyes flickered.

Wei Qiao walked quickly to a tea house not far away, and said what he meant, and soon a young man with a resolute face came out and led him in, and then stopped in front of a door and motioned for him to go in by himself.

Wei Qiao's expression seemed calm, but his heart was pounding.

Pushing open the door, Wei Qiao swept his eyes and found that directly opposite the window, there was the back of a slightly stiff old man.

Wei Qiao quickly closed the door, walked over, hugged his fists and bowed, "Chen Wei Liyuan has seen the emperor." ”

――The old man is the immediate emperor, Zhou Yanzhao.

Zhou Yanzhao turned around slowly with a smile and said, "Get up, I originally wanted to go in, but I was afraid of some gossip, so the surname Suo is waiting for you here." ”

Wei Qiao stood up and said, "I don't know what the emperor summoned his ministers to do?" ”

Zhou Yanzhao sat down on the tiger skin chair without hurry, pointed to a chair below and said, "Sit down, it's boring to stay in the palace, come out for a walk." ”

Wei Qiao sat down on the chair pointed by Zhou Yanzhao without moving, but he didn't believe what he said.

Zhou Yanzhao leaned back in his chair and looked at Wei Qiao with a smile, his eyes with undisguised appreciation and regret and some other indescribable complex colors.

Wei Qiao didn't understand the meaning of his eyes, so he calmly sat in the chair and didn't ask.

After a long time, Zhou Yanzhao looked at Wei Qiao and suddenly said, "Do you know why I gave you that gold medal?" ”

Wei Qiao bowed slightly, and said truthfully: "The minister has always been puzzled. ”

Zhou Yanzhao nodded lightly and said, "There are only four people in this world who know why, I am one, the queen is one, Concubine Zhen is one, and one is Fu Li." By the way, maybe the Master of the Inkair. But now is not the time for you to know, in a while. I'll tell you one more thing, when I was assassinated, not only did I and Concubine Zhen survive the siege. ”

Wei Qiao just wanted to ask, but Zhou Yanzhao said again: "Don't ask these questions first, I ask you, what do you think is the biggest threat to Daqi now?" ”

Wei Qiao's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was turning rapidly. Daqi now has reached a certain level of internal and external troubles, and various problems are imminent, so if you have to say the biggest threat, Weiqiao will think that it will be the Xiongnu invasion in the spring and summer of next year.

Every once in a while, the Huns will come to the border of Daqi to fight the autumn wind, now the warriors are getting old, the Daqi is getting weaker, the frequency of this kind of autumn wind is getting higher and higher, almost every year, but the degree is different. After more than a decade of recuperation, Wei Qiao suspected that the Xiongnu were likely waiting for an opportunity to brew a large-scale invasion that was different from the past.

"I know what you think," Zhou Yanzhao seemed to see the answer from Wei Qiao's face, and sighed: "Almost all of Daqi has this kind of thought. ”

Wei Qiao saw a deep exhaustion from Zhou Yanzhao's expression, especially his eyes, and at close range, he would find that his pupils seemed to be dilated a lot, far less than the spirit he saw in the court, full of majesty, more like an old man who was about to rot.

This thought suddenly made Wei Qiao's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but observe Zhou Yanzhao carefully.

Zhou Yanzhao saw a trace of worry in Wei Qiao's eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while." By the way, I came today to ask you to transfer this to Concubine Zhen. As he spoke, Zhou Yanzhao took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it to Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao hurriedly took it and took a closer look, but found that it was exactly the same as the one he hid at home.

Prince's inheritance!

Wei Qiao's mind turned, and he roughly guessed what Zhou Yanzhao meant, agreed, and put the gold medal in his arms.

Zhou Yanzhao's throat twitched slightly, his eyes stared at Wei Qiao, and his eyes couldn't help revealing the complicated color of appreciation and regret just now.

"Hey" Zhou Yanzhao suddenly sighed and said, "You go back, and then go to meet your father-in-law and tell him, I said that you are very good." ”

Wei Qiao's heart was full of doubts, I don't know if it is a habit, all those who are in a higher position always speak in a cloudy and foggy way, and they don't understand what he means at all.

However, he respectfully clenched his fists and retired.

Zhou Yanzhao looked at Wei Qiao's back as he withdrew, was stunned, sighed for a long time, and said, "I really want to train you for a few more years, but unfortunately God doesn't allow ......."
