Wang was confused by his love for the Xiao family, and wanted to attribute his own crimes to Cui Yang, and admonished Lu Shaofu, but Lu and Xiao were born from then on-

"The Legend of the Yongshi and the King of Yong"

I put down the book and asked, 'Can Jing Chi and Eldest Sun Ji use their hearts?' ‘

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said: "Childe, rest assured, the two generals are people who abide by military orders, and they are very good at martial arts, Huo Jicheng is a famous master in Shu, but he was almost killed by them, Chiji released smoke bombs to save Huo Jicheng, and he was almost caught, if they hadn't been ordered in advance, they were not allowed to reveal their traces, but I was afraid that Huo Jicheng would not be able to escape at all." ‘

I said lightly: "King Yong's love general, isn't it ordinary, the last time you said that you have fifty percent of the fire in the Great Soul Searcher, you won't be seen through, right?" ‘

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "Childe rest assured, when I was in Nanchu, I used to fight with the people of the Li family, although the big soul searcher is powerful, but I am confident that I can learn well, and Huo Jicheng is a disciple of the Li family, his big soul searcher is a little impure What's strange, but I don't understand, anyway, Cui Yang wants to ambush Huo Jicheng, why is Gongzi so troublesome and wants to intervene in person?" ‘

I shook my head and said: "If the prince is allowed to ambush Huo Jicheng, he may not have the ability to take it out, you have also seen their ambush, if it is not for you to break the enemy in one fell swoop with the power of thunder, how can it be so easy, if the prince ambushes successfully, then it is useless for us to expose this matter, and if we go to save Huo Jicheng, either they show their traces, or Huo Jicheng is suspicious of us, so I arranged it like this, now Huo Jicheng has escaped, with his surname, if he suffers a loss, I'd rather suffer a loss and take revenge, only in this way can we make things bigger, and I asked you to kill Cui Yang in order to cut off the prince's wings, if the matter is exposed, the prince originally thought that the ghost for the dead should be the current household Shangshu, and Cui Yang can take over the value of Shangshu, and now that 'Huo Jicheng' killed Cui Yang, I want to see if the prince abandons Cui Yang or abandons that Shangshu, as long as I look at the way the prince handles it, I know who the prince relies on the most. ‘

Junko asked, 'So what should we do next?' ‘

I rolled my eyes and said: "I must distract the prince's attention, so let's go and meet General Qin Yi Qin, Qin Qing was implicated because of my assassination some time ago, I always have to apologize." ‘

Xiao Shunzi said dissatisfiedly: "Qin Qing is also suspicious, it is too much for them not to explain. ‘

I shook my head and said: "They can only do this, otherwise this matter will get bigger and bigger, if they come, do you say that Your Highness believes it or not, don't you see a few other people and come to explain, this kind of thing explanation is useless, just like now that we know who the murderer is, can't we only endure it, and this matter hurts Qin Qing even more, he is an innocent person, but several aspects have contributed to the trouble, as long as you know that I am not the one who hurt the assassins of Nanchu, Didn't most of them suspect that Qin Qing was not angry that he was forced to apologize to me and killed me to vent his anger. ‘

Xiao Shunzi hesitated and said, "Do you want to go and tell Your Highness first?" ‘

I smiled and said, "That's natural, do you think I'm a little Sima and qualified enough to see the general?" By the way, how is Pei Yun's situation? ‘

Xiao Shunzi replied: "Childe rest assured, General Pei is not only fully injured, but also has a great internal force, he has broken through the boundary of life and death this time, and is expected to break through the boundary of the seventh layer, Shaolin is also very happy, because General Pei has already accepted a concubine in front of the month, that woman was born in a scholarly family, gentle and elegant, and the clan has a close relationship with Shaolin, although it has not been made public, but this family affair has been approved by General Pei's parents, as long as this woman is pregnant, the Pei family will propose to the Xue family to withdraw from the family. ‘

I laughed sarcastically: "It seems that General Pei's parents can't wait, so they are willing to ruin the friendship between the two families." ‘

Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but smile: "The information from the secret camp said that General Pei's parents actually felt that their unmarried daughter-in-law was a little too active and could not teach their husbands and children well, and the Pei family now has only one bloodline, and they can't wait for General Pei to marry a few more wives so that they can spread the branches, originally they wanted General Pei to marry a few more concubines as soon as possible after getting married, so as soon as General Pei proposed the matter of taking concubines this time, they agreed, but they only concealed it for the sake of the face of their in-laws, and waited until the concubine had children. You can take it back justifiably, and then Miss Xue will be reluctant to do it. ‘

I couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that General Pei is too old-fashioned, but now isn't it the best of both worlds, by the way, he was originally a subordinate of King Qi, and this time he saved my surname, is King Qi embarrassed for him?" ‘

Xiao Shunzi said calmly: "King Qi not only did not embarrass him, but also supported His Royal Highness's decision, promoted to the official position of General Pei, the prince once had some small actions, and wanted to take the opportunity to arrange his own people to the northern camp of the forbidden army, but the emperor was very dissatisfied, and personally commended General Pei, and the prince gave up. ‘

I nodded and said, "Okay, Your Highness is now resting, you can go and ask Your Highness early tomorrow morning if there are any arrangements, it must be tomorrow, otherwise it will be a little late." ‘

Early the next morning, the news of Li Zhen, the king of Yong, visiting the mansion of the great general Qin Yi soon spread throughout the capital.

King Yong and I arrived at Qin Yi's mansion at the end of the Chen hour, Qin's mansion covers an area of ten acres, which is already very large among the courtiers, but it is only a broad pattern, and the appearance is very simple. His Royal Highness King Yong had just gotten off at the door, and Qin Yi, who had already seen the messenger of King Yong, had already brought his family to greet him at the door. I followed behind King Yong, peeked in, and saw that behind Qin Yi in addition to Qin Qing, there was a tall young man and four or five teenagers in his teens, and that young man was also wearing a military general's costume, and his appearance was eight points similar to Qin Qing, but he looked honest. In addition, there are some generals and servants standing on both sides, all of them are calm and murderous, and they seem to be warriors who have survived the bloody battle in thousands of troops.

Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and bowed: "Minister Qin Yi knocks to see His Highness Chitose. ‘

At this time, Qin Qing and those young men also came forward to visit, that young man also has an official position, I heard him call himself Qin Yong, and immediately remembered the identity of this person, he is Qin Yi's nephew, his father was Qin Yi's brother, unfortunately died on the battlefield, Qin Yi took his family to the house, his grandparents died and were buried by Qin Yi, and now he is a deputy general under Qin Yi, it is said that although this person has a simple appearance, he is a splendid chest, and the military law and strategy are all first-class standards, but this person is loyal to Qin Yi, and he is a mother to filial piety, In addition to a few years of experience in the border pass, he has always followed Qin Yi for many years, is Qin Yi's right-hand man, and his love for him is even higher than Qin Qing.

Li Zhen took Qin Yi's hand, and the two walked into the mansion side by side, I glanced at Qin Qing and said with a smile: "The last time General Qin came to King Yong's Mansion, Zhe once invited the general to tea, and now Zhe came to visit with His Royal Highness, and the general should also receive me." ‘

Qin Qing looked at me with a strange expression, and when he saw me speak, he came over and said, "Jiang Sima, please." ‘

After walking a few steps, he asked in a low voice, "Didn't Sima Jiang suspect that I, Qin Qing, were the assassins who assassinated you?" ‘

I chuckled and said, "General Qin has wronged me, I was in a coma for nearly two months before, and then I was recuperating from my injuries, where do I have the energy to suspect someone, and besides, the general is above board, even if he wants to kill Jiang, he will probably raise his sword to kill, how can this assassination plot be done by the general." ‘

A look of relief flashed in Qin Qing's eyes, his face was no longer cold, and he said in a low voice: "Alas, but it hurt me, my father locked me up for more than a month, and I almost didn't use torture to extract a confession." If it weren't for the third brother's intercession, I'm afraid I wouldn't be afraid now. ‘

I raised my eyebrows to express my puzzlement, Qin Qing pointed to Qin Yong, who was not far behind Qin Yi, and said, "That's my third brother, my distant cousin, fortunately, my father can listen to what he says, otherwise I would be miserable." ‘

I laughed and said, 'I see, but does the general still believe those rumors?' ‘

Qin Qing hurriedly signaled me to silence, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it, I just told my father about it, and I was whipped by my father, and my father said, don't you know what kind of person Her Royal Highness the princess is, if Her Royal Highness is willing to have a personal relationship with someone, ...... it' Qin Qing suddenly stopped when he said this, with an embarrassed look on his face, I knew that he said something that should not be said, so he diverted the topic and said: "By the way, I heard that the queen intends to marry the county lord of Jingjiang to you, you are really a good blessing, I saw that the county lord Tianxiang Guose, which is a good match for the general." ‘

Qin Qing showed a strange look on his face, which seemed to be admiration and pity, and he said after a long time: "The county lord is indeed a celestial, how can a kid be matched." ‘

My heart sank, Qin Qing was really confused by Li Hanyou's beauty, no wonder, he is a child of a family, unlike Pei Yun, who generally hopes that his wife will be diligent and thrifty, and hopes to marry an excellent wife, Li Hanyou has both national colors and extraordinary temperament, he is a disciple of Fengyimen, and his talent and insight must also be outstanding, it is Qin Qing's dream of a wife, presumably Qin Yi does not allow it, no wonder he has such a look, but in this way, if Qin Qing is attracted to Fengyimen, then the neutrality of the Qin family cannot be guaranteed. With a turn of mind, I looked at Qin Yi and Qin Yong, as long as they understand the harm of marriage, then it's okay, I don't believe that when it comes to life and death, Qin Qing will still be in love with a woman, this kind of relationship based on talent and appearance, although it is menacing, but it will dissipate quickly, as long as they don't have a chance to get close, then soon Qin Qing will forget about Li Hanyou, but it's a pity that the princess refuses to marry Qin Qing, otherwise ......, thinking of this, I suddenly feel a little upset, probably because my injuries are not all good.

When King Yong stepped into the gate of Qin Yi's mansion, the prince had already received the news of Cui Yang's death, and the most troublesome thing was that it was not the prince's person who found the corpse of Cui Yang and others, but Jing Zhaoyin, a dignified household servant, the prince's in-law, died in a place where the poor gathered, dragons and snakes were mixed, which already gave the prince a headache, he thought that Huo Jicheng must have found out the trouble and fought back, so he killed Cui Yang, when he was shocked by the power in Huo Jicheng's hands, how to deal with this endgame, it made the prince have a headache, The last batch of smuggled goods has not yet arrived, this loss is already very heavy, and let Huo Jicheng escape, if this person does nonsense, Li An is a chill when he thinks about it, and he can't help but regret his means of killing, alas, he glanced at Lu Jingzhong, if he hadn't said that he couldn't leave the trouble, maybe there would not be the trouble he has now.

Lu Jingzhong knew that the crown prince was angry, and he didn't take it seriously, and said: "Your Highness, although things have changed, you don't have to worry, although we have lost the last batch of goods, but in general, it doesn't matter, and it may not be lost now, what can the Splendid Alliance do with this goods, except for Your Highness, if someone can take such a huge amount of goods, won't Your Highness still notice it, when the time comes, the minister has his own way to recover most of the losses, At present, the most critical thing is Cui Yang and Hubu Shangshu Liang Jinqian, which one do you want to keep? ‘

Li Anyi frowned, and said: "Of course it's Cui-" Just said this, Li An paused, the original plan was to have something happen to make Liang Jinqian guilty, Cui Yang took over as Shangshu, but now, Cui Yang is dead, if he still does this, wouldn't he have no one available, Hubu Shangshu is not something anyone can do, qualifications, grades, and abilities must be qualified, and Hubu is his sphere of influence, if he uses an uncaring person, he will have to be restrained to do things by himself. But Liang Jinqian recorded his accounts privately, he already had two hearts, if he let him go like this, he was unwilling, and the most important thing was that Cui Yang had a close relationship with himself, if something happened to him, others would inevitably set their eyes on him, wouldn't he be in trouble.

Li An was hesitating here, and Xia Jinyi came in to report: "Your Highness, Concubine Lan Niangniang asks to see you." ‘

Li An already has a lot of trust in Xia Jinyi, especially after learning that the deputy chief manager Xing Song died last night, Xia Jinyi was ordered to go to the Peace Fang in danger, and disfigured the bodies of several dead soldiers who were ordered to assist in the palace, and all the evidence related to the prince's mansion was destroyed, and the witnesses were cleaned up and bought, and the means were very powerful, although Jing Zhaoyin knew the connection between the prince and this matter, but all the evidence was destroyed, and he was not a stupid person, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. It is precisely because of this that Li An decided to reuse Xia Jinyi, although this person does not have superb martial arts and no integrity, but he is good at flattery, and is very capable, in Li Anxin, Xia Jinyi is already the best candidate to replace Xing Song, otherwise, he and Ben are not qualified to come in and report when they discuss things.

He heard that it was Concubine Lan Xiao Lan who came, so he hurriedly said: "Let her come in, I was looking for her alone just now, and she didn't know where she went?" ‘

After a while, Xiao Lan walked in, she is twenty-six years old this year, she has a gorgeous posture and outstanding appearance, she has been a prince's concubine for many years, she has raised her qi and moved her body, adding a bit of grace and nobility to her beautiful and elegant temperament. She walked into the room, and after saluting Li An, she greeted Lu Jingzhong, who had already stood up, and after Xiao Lan sat down, she also stepped forward to salute.

Li An said impatiently: "If we meet every day, don't bother." As he spoke, he explained the whole story, and then asked, "Lan'er, this is already the case, you must already know, what do you say?" ‘

Xiao Lan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, if the concubine says it, don't blame me?" ‘

Li Andao: "What you said is for the sake of loneliness, but there is something wrong, and you are not to blame." ‘

Xiao Lan said lightly: "Although Lord Cui is the brother of the princess, but he is dead now, that is, he was originally His Royal Highness's left and right minister, and now he has become an abandoned pawn, although His Royal Highness does not like Liang Shangshu, but he must not cut his own wings, and now he can only push everything on Lord Cui, first envelop Liang Shangshu, and the concubine will ask the sisters to control Liang Shangshu, and wait until the matter settles down, and His Royal Highness has a candidate who trusts Shangshu, and then it is not too late to end this person, although the crown princess is currently wronged, But with His Highness's protection, who can make it difficult for her. ‘

Li An nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but if this matter involves Cui Yang, I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of it." ‘

A cold light flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes, and said: "So Your Highness needs to be ruthless, and before the matter broke out, just say that you investigated the accounts of the household department because of Cui Yang's death, and found that Master Cui had done something wrong, so that you would kill your relatives in righteousness, and who could still blame you for the matter." ‘

Li An's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he was about to agree, but when he saw Lu Jingzhong's uneasy expression, he said in his heart, could it be that he had other opinions, so he asked, "Young Master, what do you think of Concubine Lan's opinion?" ‘

Lu Jingzhong glanced at Xiao Lan, and said in his heart, this woman's heart is really vicious, and this kind of strategy of killing two birds with one stone can also be thought of, but it is inconvenient for him to expose it in person, so he said lightly: "Although Cui Yang is nothing, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is your wife and Cui Yang's own sister, and the prince and Lord Cui are uncles and nephews.

He didn't continue, but Li An already understood what he meant, if he wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness, then the Cui family would probably have to go down to the court to beg, so if someone added fuel to the fire, the crown princess was afraid that there would already be a new owner, and his father would definitely be dissatisfied with it, thinking that he didn't think about it. Thinking of this, his face was cold, and he said in his heart, fortunately, Lu Jingzhong reminded me.

Xiao Lan was very smart, and when she saw that the prince's expression was wrong, she said, "I said that Your Highness should not blame the concubines. ‘

The prince smiled reluctantly: "I won't blame you, but I'm afraid this method won't work." ‘

Xiao Lan smiled: "What's so difficult about this, although I don't have any other ideas, but after a while, my junior sister, Li Hanyou, the county lord of Jingjiang Wang, will come to see me, she is also His Royal Highness's cousin, I have long heard that this senior sister is very smart, Your Highness may wish to ask her, she is my junior sister, will she still be towards others?" ‘

At this time, Xia Jinyi knocked on the door and entered, and reported: "Your Highness, the princess Niangniang sent a maid to report, saying that the lord of Jingjiang has arrived, and she is in the mother's room. ‘

Li An was overjoyed and said, "Quick, go and send someone to invite her over, and say that there is an urgent matter to find her." ‘
