Chapter 403: Wait and see
He is not wise that is not wise for himself.
Maybe Cheng Qian is such a self-aware nobleman.
Cheng Qian, who had accused him of indecency, sat in front of the meal, looked at the table full of food, reached out to pick up the chopsticks, and devoured them.
Perhaps at this time, Cheng Qian had put his adopted daughter behind him, after all, even his own daughter was not as good as the meal in front of him.
Probably felt that it was really inappropriate for His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu to watch themselves eat, and after a round of gobbling, Cheng Qian picked up a cup of tea that the official put in his hand, took a few sips, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Cheng Tingshi, this is ready?" Ye Wen was pondering what Cheng Qian, who was sweeping the floor in front of him, was the top junior in high school at that time, and what he looked like when he crossed the streets.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the King of Chu, Princess Niangniang, and thank you Commander Ye. The lower official was so hungry that Sven swept the floor and was ashamed. Cheng Qian knew that what he had just eaten was not elegant, and he accused him again and again.
"Understand, understand." Ye Wen snorted, "I've been hungry for so long, and I can still think clearly, real numbers are rare, and Cheng Assassin Shi is really a strange person." ”
Ye Wen originally wanted to say, after being locked up for so long, why wasn't he locked up as a fool?
According to normal people, they have not communicated with people for more than ten years, and a person is in a relatively closed environment, and when he first comes into contact with people, he will form a language barrier.
Cheng Qian's situation is not like a fool, and he is fluent in answering everyone, as if he is ready to answer in advance, even if he often deals with people, he may not be like Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian was slightly stunned, and immediately continued: "During the period when Xia Guan was imprisoned, he didn't think that the emperor would send someone to save Xia Guan for a while, and he had already thought about what he wanted to say after getting out of trouble, who knew that more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. ”
"Cheng Tingshi, is this complaining that we are late? We haven't received any news of Cheng being locked up. Ye Wen was slightly angry.
"At that time, when Cheng Tingshi took office, my grandparents led the Ye family army to regain the lost territory and guard here, which was only a few dozen miles away from here. If Cheng Tingshi had sent someone to send a letter to his grandparents, the imperial court would not have received any inappropriate news from Cheng Tingshi until now. ”
Ye Wen was no longer slightly angry, but a little disdainful, and even coldly spoke, "Even now, my third uncle is still at the border, but if he receives a word from Cheng Tingshi, he will not let Cheng Tingshi be bullied." ”
"It's all the fault of the lower officials." Cheng Qian hurriedly stood up and accompanied him to be careful, and said, "It's the lower officials who didn't check for a while, and they fell into the way of traitors." There is not the slightest resentment towards the imperial court, only to say. As for the matter of sending a letter to Ye Laoguogong, Xia Guan didn't think about it, but he never had a chance. ”
"Well, that's all for today." Nangong Hao didn't speak for a long time, and seeing that Cheng Qian didn't have anything wrong, he said: "Cheng Tingshi has seen the light of day again, it was originally a gratifying and congratulatory thing, how could he make Cheng Qian disappear, presumably Cheng Tingshi is not in the mood to celebrate." At present, Cheng Thorn History will go to rest first, and strive to take over the post of Jizhou Thorn History as soon as possible. Prior to this, the affairs of the Jizhou Thorn Mansion were still represented by Feng Changshi. ”
Feng Qiyong secretly rejoiced, even if the history of the assassin is also the history of the assassination, maybe he behaved well and was appreciated by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the acting assassin history will replace Cheng Qian and become the real assassin history.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu ordered, and Cheng Qian couldn't say anything more, so he had to say goodbye to everyone, and the official guided him to rest.
Nangong Hao and Jiang Ziyan stood up and were about to go back to the guest room to rest, when Xiao Enyou strode in under the leadership of the Imperial Forest Army.
Before the person arrived, a voice came in: "Hahaha!! ”
The hearty laughter shows the hearty heroism of this person.
Jiang Ziyan always thought that most of the officials in the capital were like his father, confused, holding the court's money, not doing any practical things, and knowing all day long that they were forming a party and pulling cowhides, and the only ones who really did practical things were those soldiers who were guarding the frontier and throwing their heads and sprinkling hot shows.
At that time, when he heard that Xiao Enyou, the squire of the military department, led an army of 50,000 to cooperate with the action, Jiang Ziyan muttered in his heart, what is the ability of a person who is an official in the court to lead and command an army of 50,000? It's okay to talk on paper, but if you really take action, I'm afraid you'll miss the right thing.
Now it seems that Xiao Enyou, the squire of the military department, was not given for nothing, and the court's Yulu was not taken for nothing.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Princess Chu, and Commander Ye."
Sean Woo greeted everyone as he walked through the door.
Jiang Ziyan and Nangong Hao sat down again.
Seeing that Sean Enyou and his father are of the same age, they are far from each other in appearance.
Compared with his father's white-faced scholar's appearance, Xiao Enyou is a rough and arrogant person, he may not have washed much these days, and his beard and beard, if it weren't for the armor, would remind people of the bandit beard on the snow field in the forest and sea in his previous life.
"Today, I have taken someone's nest, I don't know if they will feel distressed if they have been operating for many years." As he spoke, Sean Enyou picked up the tea cup on the table and poured it down.
"How?" Ye Wen was anxious to know the news and asked.
Xiao Enyou led the soldiers along the passage until they reached the depths of the mountain, if it weren't for the passage being spacious enough to walk a few horses side by side, I am afraid that they would not be able to return now.
"The passages were searched, but only some of the people who had been plundered were found. And they are all older, and as for the younger ones, they may have been trained as soldiers and taken away. ”
"So you can't find anything? Just the poor people? ”
"Yes, we moved so much, people were afraid that they had already had a way out, so they left before we started, and they left clean and thoroughly, leaving no traces."
Nothing was left.
"First maintain order in the city, release the exploration horses within a radius of fifty miles, and wait and see what happens." Nangong Hao was calm and sophisticated, opened his eyes slowly, and gave orders.
Then he picked up Jiang Ziyan and slowly left the second hall.
"Are you tired of the smoke?"
"I'm not tired, what's this? Compared with the time in Southern Xinjiang and the East China Sea, it is far behind. "At that time, walking on a muddy road was like walking in sticky. Especially when he was in the East China Sea, he was just wounded on his body, and he rushed into the enemy camp with only a few guards.
"Now it's different from the past, you're not alone, not to mention your bulky body, the enemy is in the shadows now, maybe it's around us, if you're not careful, you will come out and give it to you, you can't guard against it!" Nangong Hao had to express the concerns in his heart.
He now regrets taking Jiang Ziyan out, although there are people who hold grudges when he stays in the capital, he doesn't think of asking for Yan'er's life, although it has not reached the point where the swords and soldiers are facing each other, the opponents in the open and in the dark are surfacing.
Jiang Ziyan didn't say to Nangong Hao that his consciousness was strong enough to sense the breath of people within a hundred meters, so he could only pretend to be big and didn't care.
What's more, the more this is the case, the more Nangong Hao is not at ease.
"It's okay, my sense of hearing and smell is different from ordinary people, don't forget, finding Cheng Qian is my credit."
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you sense Cheng Qian's existence?" Nangong Hao felt incredible.
I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and my hearing is already more sensitive than ordinary people, and I didn't hear a single sound, how did Yan'er hear that there were people in the wall?
"Well, it may be because of pregnancy, these days, the sense of hearing and smell is many times different from ordinary people, so I can naturally hear Cheng Qian's voice."
Jiang Ziyan pushed this weird thing to pregnancy.
Although Nangong Hao has never experienced pregnancy, she has never heard that pregnancy can also make her sense of hearing and smell sensitive.
"Haozi, do you think Cheng Qian is weird?"
"Tell me about it."
This Cheng Qian said that he has lived underground for more than ten years, and his complexion does not look like he has not seen sunlight all year round. But. Jiang Ziyan thought about it and said, "Looking at him gobbling up, it looks like he's been hungry for a long time." ”
Jiang Ziyan thought to herself, what is wrong with this Cheng Qian?
"Hmm," Nangong Hao responded.
Nangong Hao was full of doubts about Cheng Qian in his heart.
Is this Cheng Qian really Cheng Qian?
When they arrived at the guest room, Mama Rong prepared the meal, and when she saw them, she stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Niangniang, dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?" ”
Since it is prepared, there is no reason not to use it, and it will not taste good if it is cold for a while.
"Pass the meal." Nangong Hao carried Jiang Ziyan into the bedroom.
Or let the smoke lie down and rest for a while.
Jiang Ziyan fell asleep quickly.
It is said that it is falling asleep, but it is better to say that the consciousness flies out at will.
Probably because he couldn't forget Cheng Qian's affairs in his heart, he came to Cheng Qian's residence in a fluttering consciousness.
Cheng Qian was lying on the bed in the room.
A servant came in, closed the door casually, and crept to Cheng Qian.
Jiang Ziyan felt that there was a play.
Then a subordinate entered the door and got to the bed of his boss as if he were a thief.
Cheng Qian sat up and asked, "Miss, have they evacuated safely?" ”
"Yes," the official replied: "Miss ordered her subordinates to tell your lord that the 100,000 army has been safely brought to the territory of Northern Xinjiang, just wait for Na Rencheng to find the Great Khan's talisman, mobilize the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang, and declare war with the third elder of the Ye family." ”
"All the grain and grass have been transported?"
"Yes, it's all a good plan of adults."
Yes, as early as when His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not yet arrived in Jizhou, he was planning this incident.
If it weren't for the disappearance of the king of Northern Xinjiang, the soldiers would have disappeared. Nangong Hao's sudden arrival caught people off guard, I am afraid that he would have already joined forces with the Northern Xinjiang to take the 100,000 army of the third master of the Ye family outside Jizhou City.
Now that the imperial court has sent another 50,000 soldiers and horses, led by the battle-hardened Xiao Enyou, what did the emperor discover?
The plan had to be changed, but fortunately, the soldiers and horses were withdrawn, and Sean was not given the opportunity to fight.
"Send a message to the young lady, wait patiently in the territory of Northern Xinjiang, wait for Nangong Hao and Jiang Ziyan to return to Beijing, and then look for the king of Northern Xinjiang, can you fly to the sky?"
"Yes, the little one will send a message to Miss." After speaking, the official withdrew.
Jiang Ziyan followed the servants to a remote courtyard, and in a room, dozens of pigeons were raised.
It turns out that the people here also know how to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages.
Jiang Ziyan suddenly returned to the guest room, and Mama Rong had already prepared a meal outside, waiting for the two masters to come out to eat.
Nangong Hao saw Jiang Ziyan open his eyes, so he said, "Let's go out to eat." ”
Jiang Ziyan sat up with the help of Nangong Hao, recalled what he had just seen, and said, "Haozi, I had a dream just now, there are pigeons in the backyard of the Thorn Mansion, let's go over and have a look, and then go back to eat." ”
Nangong Hao didn't think what Jiang Ziyan said was nonsense at all, but felt that what Jiang Ziyan said was well-founded.
Just like the breath of someone on the other side of the wall before, people are suspicious, so many people haven't heard it, Jiang Ziyan is just a pregnant woman, and it is purely curious to look at it below, saying that there are people on the other side of the wall?
Nangong Hao is convinced, although he can't say why, he only knows that Yan'er will not be untargeted, nor will he do anything for no reason.
As a result, Cheng Qian was found.
Although the things he saw in his dream were a little absurd, Nangong Hao still chose to believe Jiang Ziyan without hesitation.
"Okay."
Nangong Hao didn't ask why, just helped Jiang Ziyan put on his shoes, and walked out with the cigarette.
