Chapter Ninety-Four: Enter the Game
He knew himself very well, and knew that at this age, it was the time when a man was at his most masculine.
He studied under General Weiyuan and was first appointed as a general in the northern part of Xijing. After living in the army for a long time, it is inevitable that he will practice often, and his smooth muscle lines are the most proud of him, and there have been many women who covet his body and want to cling to him.
In other words, those Qinglou Chu Pavilions in Xijing, as long as he is there, what others play is what he picks and rests.
In contrast, he looked at the high-ranking official opposite who was cowering and slightly rickety, and secretly mocked:
As you get older, you gradually lose your natural vitality as a man, and you can leave nothing but wait for the future to rely on the old and sell the old.
Despite the other party's high rank, he still had a sense of superiority from the inside out in his heart.
"The transfer from Xijing to Yanzhou is not trivial, speaking of Yanzhou, although it is not as powerful as the capital, it is not much worse, it is still very deep." Completely ignoring Wei Yingzheng's ridiculous thoughts at the moment, Yuan Cheng glanced away aimlessly, and continued, "Don't slack off, don't provoke right and wrong indiscriminately and block your uncle." β
It is true that he was recommended from him, but he was afraid of adding to his own blockage.
"Lord Yuan is cautious, of course Wei Lang is understandable, but ...... My lord. There was a flash of light from the bottom of his eyes, Wei Yingzheng spread his hands, raised his head and pursed his lips, "It's not something we dare to do or can afford to hide from Beijing." β
A muffled sound suddenly appeared on the lacquered wooden table covered with embroidered satin, and suddenlyβ
There was a crunch and a crunch slammed on the ground and almost punctured the eardrum, followed by a rebuke of forbearance.
"What are you talking about?!"
"Look up!"
He looked up in recognition, but his eyes were fixed on the clenched fist on the table for a moment.
The bottom of the fist is already red.
"Didn't I talk to you along the way? You are so discerning and you call me? He withdrew his gaze, half-bent his left leg, leaned over to pick up the porcelain cup on the ground, which had been broken, and said leisurely, "What do you want me to say?" β
He got up and walked closer and closer to Yuan Cheng, pinching the handle of the cup and gently putting the teacup back into the man's fist, but the movement of his whole body suddenly stopped.
Yuan Cheng frowned suspiciously, looking sideways slightly.
I saw that the man's fingertips stopped on the handle of the cup and had not left, and he raised his other hand to touch his chin in thought, and suddenly his eyes widened and he looked stunned: "Oh! Don't...... Do you really want me to say those two words? β
Looking at the face that was very close, Yuan Cheng hurriedly gasped, and the voice that had been repeated in his mind a few days ago that had plagued him to sleep every night exploded in his mind again.
- Anti-thief?
- Traitorous party?
This voice is not the scum in front of you, or who it is!
After the stalemate that night, the two of them obviously discussed it and rotted the matter in their stomachs, and today they dare to bring up the old thing again! Mentioned again!
Ho!
In the capital full of minions, sometimes just because of the lack of mouth, it will lead to death.
"Shut up!" Yuan Cheng almost didn't slow down in one breath, and the two words almost came out.
"You did your superficial work as if nothing had happened, because you knew they were coming at me." In the face of deterrence, the man still did not know how to restrain himself, and continued to chatter in an aggressive posture.
"Well, as you said, those people are a bunch of snobs at best, and there's nothing to panic about."
"Who doesn't want to be promoted, it's naturally a good thing to have the blessing of status. In the future, you can be a hands-off shopkeeper, but what about me? Hehe, yes, my own uncle will protect me. β
Finally, those two words were still not mentioned, Yuan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and feigned anger and said, "Wei Saburo! You're trying to me off! β
"Lord Yuan, the palace is investigating the matter of Qinghe Mansion, and it must be very important." Wei Yingzheng seemed to have suddenly changed his personality and lowered his voice, "Du Shen was murdered by a group of traitors of unknown origin, and you won't fail to see from the description on the military order, it is extremely similar to the passer-by we met." β
"But why didn't you report it to the court? Although there is no conclusive evidence, it can be regarded as a clue, and even if it is not credited, Your Majesty will think of your kindness. He asked, straightening up and distancing himself from the man.
"Those barbarians are sharp in the post station, openly provoking the official authority and contempt for the royal law, making it clear that they don't want to hide their identities from us." Yuan Cheng sighed, not forgetting to pay attention to his exposed expression, and his eyebrows were dyed with a layer of solemnity, "And this is to set us up." β
Seeing that people didn't speak, he took a sip of water to suppress the shock, "We just don't know, Your Majesty has heard a lot, if you find out, you have your own decision, it is not our turn to make more moves, and we will go to this muddy water many times." β
"I won't hide it from you, if an official of our age does not have a decent descendant behind him, he will not want to retreat with his whole body."
"I'm old, and if I insist on it for a few more years, I'll return to my hometown, just a small envoy who undertakes the announcement, I don't want to mess with these anymore, and I don't have the ability to mess with these, I don't want to return to my hometown with honor, but I want to have no merit and no fault."
Yuan Cheng felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the cup to moisten his throat, and then turned his head back.
"You don't have to!" Seeing that the adults were going to persuade him something, Wei Yingzheng hurriedly bowed his hands to respect, but he was trying his best to stop it, "The younger generation must follow the teachings, and all the right to listen to the adults." β
If you can't make a mistake like this, Yuan Cheng's exhortation that Yuan Cheng is about to utter will be swallowed back again.
He was a little surprised, how could this kid be so good at talking today?
Aren't you in a hurry to drink flower wine?
Wei Yingzheng had just left on his front foot, and someone came back after a while, and at first glance it was the medical officer who had left before.
"Why bother talking to Na Wei Saburo." The medical officer took the pillow and asked to himself.
Seeing that Yuan Cheng waved his hand tiredly, he noticed the redness at the bottom of his fist, shook his head, and took out the ointment that had been prepared from his sleeve.
It was supposed to be in case of emergency, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
"My lord didn't say that we just need to protect him so that he can smoothly enter Yan and take over." He asked.
The Governor of Wei gestured. Yuan Cheng flicked the tea foam with the lid of the cup, squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes almost squeezed into his eyes, and the slight glow that burst out showed a completely different essence from Fang Cai.
"We'd better keep things coming."
--
The dew-smelling night breeze passed through the corridor, and the skirt that accompanied the woman fluttered all the way.
She dusted off the non-existent autumn frost on her shoulders, and stepped into the banquet hall of Songhe Hall.
Song Zhixi felt that he was a lot more sober.
"The girl is going to rest for a while, can I make an appointment?" The maid who was standing not far away to greet the guests came to inquire as usual.
Song Zhixi shook her head gently, at this time, she had already changed into the regular clothes in her baggage, and naturally she would no longer be recognized as a maidservant.
Seeing that she pursed her lips and was silent, the maid stepped sideways and took a few steps, intending to lead her to a seat, but Song Zhixi couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
She walked aimlessly, perhaps just attracted by the warm light here, and since there was nothing left to worry about at the moment, she smiled and tilted her head to look over, "Okay." β
With this smile, his eyebrows and eyes were completely opened.
She sat down next to the place where the ladies gathered, there were peach shortbread and bergamot pastries on the table, and a fragrant tea, she slowly stretched out her hands to hold it, and she couldn't help but have a rush to tears.
She lowered her head, just wanted to bury her face in the steaming heat and close her eyes for a while, but the lively movement around her made her feel a little itchy, and before she could quietly pick her eyes and look over, the sound of conversation had already taken the lead in her ears.
"Yes, Runan Taojiang-flavored tea."
It was a group of ladies with high buns who spoke, although they were all dressed in gold and silver, but by looking at the capable dress, they knew that they were authentic businessmen. Unlike a small county town, in the merchant family in Kyoto, although it is not common for women to come out and show their heads, it is not unusual.
"The Zhou family of Runan, my sister-in-law's niece is ......"
The conversation was speculative, and after round of talking and laughing, the ladies had already changed the topic, but they didn't know that the girls near were still looking at the cup of tea in their palms in a daze.
The white-faced boy who ran the hall walked over and was making tea for the ladies at this table, when suddenly he was so numb that he almost shook the teapot that had not had time to be sealed. Thinking of the sudden noise behind Fang Cai, he was slightly annoyed, and suddenly stiffened his face and turned his head to look back.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Beware of falling ......" Xiao Sheng opened his lips, his naked eyes catching a hurried back, but the remaining half of the sentence choked in his throat......
