In the future, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many courtiers, and it will give King Jing the opportunity to accuse. That's a big deal!

Therefore, Xiao Wu immediately decided that he would not mobilize the secret guards until the most critical moment, which could be regarded as leaving a way back for Yan Qinchang.

"Boss, don't worry, I will protect Miss Chu's safety." Xiao Wu immediately gave a guarantee.

Yan Qinchang was relieved at this time, and escaped from an inconspicuous path in Baiyun Temple when it was getting dark and the attendants were changing shifts.

He immediately came to the foot of the mountain where the secret guards were hiding, asked them to send a batch of fast horses and daily necessities, and set off for the capital that night, and Chu Xinyun, who was similar in Baiyun Temple at this moment, didn't know that Yan Qinchang had already laid a good chess hand a long time ago.

At that time, when the sweet potato crops were delivered, Emperor Wei said that if this thing could really bring changes to Mocheng, then the person who provided this thing would personally reward him with the position of county lord.

You must know that the county lord is a seventh-grade person, although it is only a casual position, but it is good that Lord Sun has to salute respectfully after seeing it, if it is Chu, so he hurried to the capital this time to do this plan.

The capital is at least five days away from here, and Yan Qinchang has hardly heard much about it except for the necessary meals and rests along the way, and it took six horses to barely arrive at the bustling capital at noon on the third day.

As early as when he set off, a secret guard informed Qi An, the deputy commander of the city guard in Beijing, and at the moment when Yan Qinchang entered Beijing, he immediately ordered someone to prepare food and clothes, and after he washed and rested, the two entered the palace together in the evening.

Emperor Wei was still reviewing the folds at the moment, and when he heard Gonggong Fu say that Commander Yan and Commander Qi were coming, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Is it really Yan Qinchang here?" Emperor Wei was very excited.

"How dare the old slave lie to you, it's indeed him who came." Grandpa Fu had a smile on his face.

"Then what are you waiting for, get people in at once."

"Yes, the old slave will go to Xuan." Fu Gonggong saluted, bowed and exited the imperial study.

To be honest, Yan Qinchang was still a little nervous when he saw Emperor Wei like this, after all, he hadn't recovered his memory at the moment, and many things were retold by Xiao Wu.

Qi An knew his situation, patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "If you don't want to speak, it's up to me to say, and everything will be left to my brother." ”

"Thank you." Yan Qinchang nodded, after all, Qi An was more familiar with the situation in the capital, in case he said the wrong thing and made His Majesty unhappy, then wouldn't Chu Xinyun's matter be in vain?

I saw an old eunuch in a red brocade robe walk out with a smile, came to the two of them and said, "Commander Yan hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Qi An clasped his fists and saluted: "Father-in-law Fu, would Your Majesty like to see us?"

"How can you not see this? Come with me, both of you. ”

Then Gonggong Fu took the two of them into the hall, and through the thick carved pillars, he saw a middle-aged man who was looking down to read the folds, Yan Qinchang knew that this person should be Emperor Wei.

The two knelt down and saluted, and said in unison, "See Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wei shook his hand and said lightly: "Don't be polite, get up and talk." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yan Aiqing's injury this time is not light, haven't you remembered anything yet?" Emperor Wei put down the fold in his hand, took the ginseng tea handed by Gonggong Fu, took a sip and asked.

Yan Qinchang lowered his head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the doctor said that it can only depend on the situation, and there is no way to recover for the time being, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins." ”

"What is the crime of the injuries you suffered this time for my sake? What are you doing when you suddenly come back after checking in Linzhou?"

"Your Majesty, I have something important to ask for when I come back this time."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the sweet potato crop?

"I naturally remember that this thing has stabilized in Mocheng, and it is said that last year's output was completely enough for the people to survive, and the general even wrote a letter to thank him." As soon as he talked about this, Emperor Wei couldn't hide the smile on his face.

As the first line of defense against invasion of Wei, Mocheng has always been a thorn in his heart because of the geographical environment, and now with this new crop, the living conditions of Mocheng have been completely improved, and he does not need to allocate a large amount of silver every year, which really makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Qinchang continued: "Your Majesty, do you remember the promise made at that time?"

Emperor Wei narrowed his eyes: "What I said is naturally remembered, you mean the matter of rewarding the county lord, right?"

"Yes."

When he talked about this, he couldn't help but be a little curious: "I heard that it was a peasant girl who saved you?"

He replied very honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, this woman's name is Chu Xinyun, if it weren't for her help, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Emperor Wei glanced at him meaningfully, to know what kind of character Yan Qinchang was, he was very clear as the master, no matter what it was, he was iron-faced and selfless and ruthless, but he didn't expect that he could also see this guy bending down to ask for a future for a peasant girl.

Seeing that Emperor Wei didn't speak for a long time, Yan Qinchang didn't dare to ask, only felt a cold sweat on his back.

After a long time, Emperor Wei nodded and agreed: "My golden mouth and jade words are naturally words, Fu Gonggong, and the intention is to do it." ”

"Yes!"

After half a cup of tea, a freshly baked holy decree was handed over to Yan Qinchang with the big seal of the jade seal, and Gonggong Fu couldn't help but sigh, this holy decree should be the easiest to get, right?

After the holy decree arrived, Yan Qinchang couldn't wait to fly back to Baiyun Temple immediately, and he immediately set off for the return trip that night.

When night fell, Gonggong Fu came to Emperor Wei with the sign of today's bedtime, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early." ”

Emperor Wei put down the pen and rubbed his sore temples before he put his eyes on the sign and asked, "Is there a brand of Li Cairen today?"

"Naturally, there is."

"Then don't choose, just go to her."

"Yes."

Gonggong Fu sang and retreated with broken steps, asking the eunuchs guarding outside to immediately inform Li Cairen to prepare for bed.

This Li Cairen only entered the palace last month, but now he still has been favored several times.

It is said that she has a lively and cheerful temperament and loves to enlighten His Majesty, and she was in the limelight for a while, which attracted the eyes of other concubines.

Your Majesty has flipped over her brand again today, and she must have to put on a few good shows tomorrow.

A cold wind blew, and Father-in-law Fu subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly and turned around and hurried back to the hall.

That night, Emperor Wei stayed at Li Guiren's place, and casually talked about Yan Qinchang: "You said that this Yan Qinchang is very interesting, and today I entered the palace to ask for the position of county lord for a woman, as if I was afraid that I would forget." ”

As soon as he heard the words "Yan Qinchang", Li Cairen's eyes flickered, and he picked up the teacup and handed it to him and smiled: "Then Your Majesty agreed?"

Emperor Wei took it and said, "I naturally have to agree to it, not to mention that I just gave it the position of county lord." ”

Li Cairen covered his mouth and chuckled: "Your Majesty's words are serious, this master is a master and a servant, so can the servant force the master to do something unwilling?" I can't put this anywhere!"

Emperor Wei didn't seem to notice the provocative meaning in her tone: "Concubine Ai is too worried, just a county lord, there is nothing reluctant, but this guy is not at all like before, there is more human touch, and the whole person looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Li Cairen's face stiffened slightly, she thought that Emperor Wei would follow her words, but unexpectedly vetoed it directly, so that she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to change the topic coquettishly, and the matter was revealed.

On the days when Yan Qinchang went to the capital, he agreed with Chu Xinyun to pick her up three days later, Wang Dalin drove the carriage to the vicinity of Baiyun Temple, and after seeing the uniformly dressed attendants patrolling everywhere nearby, he immediately turned around and went to Fucheng, gave some silver money to entrust the carriage to Xiao Er of the post station, and he disguised himself and went to Baiyun Temple alone to see what was going on.

Chu Xinyun actually wanted to ask Wang Dalin why he walked all the way from the capital to Yunlai County, but every time he vaguely asked this question, Wang Dalin would inexplicably change the topic, and she didn't ask again.

Wang Dalin didn't dare to tell her because his predecessor was the Marquis of Zhenbei in the capital, and because he was framed by King Jing for colluding with Lingyun Kingdom, His Majesty took his family and sent him to the southern Xinjiang, and their family was sold to Yunlai County halfway, so he met Chu Xinyun and was bought.

After seeing the group of well-trained attendants at the bottom of the mountain, he vaguely guessed that something had happened in the Baiyun Temple, and according to his experience, this group of attendants was simply a soldier pretending!

He pretended to be a pilgrim who wanted to burn incense and came to Baiyun Temple, and when he first entered the door, he was severely interrogated.

"Where did you get it from?" The attendant reached out and pulled him down, looking him up and down with a cold gaze. Wang Dalin was surprised: "Naturally, I came from Fucheng to burn incense, I heard that this Baiyun Temple is very effective, my mother-in-law is about to give birth to me, this is not here to ask the Buddha for blessing!"

He also babbled a lot.

After hearing this, the attendant narrowed his eyes, glanced at the attendant on the side, and then let him go: "Go in, settle inside, Wang Dalin nodded again and again: "Hey, I will leave after burning incense, just to ask for peace of mind." ”

After speaking, he walked into the Baiyun Temple, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in a place where the attendant could not see, although he didn't know what nobles came to this temple, but this kind of battle is estimated to be not small.

He pretended to burn incense in the main hall, and donated incense money, but it didn't attract the attention of the attendants for a while.

After all, there are quite a few pilgrims staying here, and they are not able to keep an eye on everyone for a while.

After Wang Dalin went out of the main hall, he found a little novice and asked about the situation: "May I ask if there is a little lady surnamed Chu here?"

Xiao Shami nodded: "There is a Chu Shi who lives in the east wing of the backyard. ”

"Thank you, little master."

After he got the answer, he hurried to the east wing without stopping, and as soon as he arrived nearby, he almost collided head-on with the patrol attendant who came from the side, so he reacted quickly and hid in a remote and inconspicuous gap for the first time.

Wang Dalin cautiously checked the situation and found that there were many attendants guarding the east wing, and he suddenly "chuckled" in his heart.

Could it be that something happened to the owner?

Fortunately, he learned one and a half moves of fist and foot kung fu when he was a housekeeper in Zhennanhou, and gritted his teeth and climbed directly into the house from the wall when the attendants changed the guard.

Chu Xinyun, who was resting in the house, heard a noise in the courtyard, immediately got up vigilantly and got dressed, and picked up the burning stick that Xiao Shami had begged for.

Now that Yan Qinchang hasn't returned for a long time, she is also trapped in this courtyard, and without knowing it, she resolutely decided to protect herself, "The owner? Are you there?"

Wang Dalin saw that the doors and windows were closed, so he had to whisper a few words, and Chu Xinyun inside was overjoyed when he heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly opened the door to find that it was Wang Dalin.

"Uncle Wang? Why are you here?" Chu Xinyun was very surprised when he saw him, and subconsciously looked at the attendants outside, and immediately understood that he had slipped in with pleasure.
