Litian City, it is raining lightly;

The peddlers and pawns on the street don't dare to shout loudly about business these days, and in the fenced teahouse, there is no longer a storyteller who hangs people's appetite for "please listen to the next decomposition";

Even the red tent, which has always been full of passengers, has stopped these days, and the old bustard, who is seven and eight horizontal on weekdays, does not dare to go out and scold right and wrong at this time.

The city is still the same city, and the people are still the same people, but this city and the people here have become cautious.

A group of soldiers who came out more than usual, with a white cloth tied to their left arm, walked around the city with a solemn pace, and many of them had red eyes, staring at the people who appeared on the street from time to time, as if they were eager to go up and kill people.

They are all elites who have seen big battles, and they have been churning in the sea of blood in the mountains of corpses, and when they really want to be angry, they really have such a bad aura, so thick that people dare not look at it directly.

Litian City, as the nest of people who once heard people, is also regarded as the "capital of a country" in disguise, and the people in it are not rural villagers, they can be regarded as having seen the world, but the more this is the case, the more cool everyone's hearts are, obviously it is already summer, but it is always the chill of the neck stalk.

………

In an inn, Xiao Er had just served a piece of wine and food, and there was a man in a black coat standing at the door.

It stands to reason that Xiao Er should shout at this time:

"Thank you!"

At the same time, the number of rewards was loudly reported, and the counters and other guys on the first floor would also shout "thank you" in unison, supporting the man who gave the reward money.

But this time, Xiao Er just gave up his hand to the man, thanking him with a sycophantic smile on his face, but he didn't dare to shout out.

At this juncture, any festivity and noise is very uncomfortable.

The man didn't care, and pushed open the door with the food.

At the small table in the room,

Two men were seated,

One was dressed in a blue robe, looked to be in his early thirties, his face was very tender, and his voice was very high-pitched;

The other was dressed in Confucian clothes, over half a hundred years old, with a goat's whisker in his hand, and his face was old but his eyes were extremely transparent.

The man put the food on the table, saluted, and walked out silently, closed the door, and stood in the corridor outside to resume his previous posture.

In the room,

Li Yinglian picked up the wine jug, poured wine for the old man opposite first, and then poured it for herself, after putting down the wine jug, Li Yinglian sighed,

Road:

"The miscellaneous family has also fallen into blood mold, how many years, for the first time I received an errand out of Beijing, who knew that I would encounter such a thing, ouch, how to explain to the prince this time."

The old man smiled slightly, didn't drink, but reached out and grabbed a handful of fried peanuts, threw a few into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"Why is my father-in-law so worried, something so big happened, where did you come from and have anything to do with your father-in-law?"

Li Yinglian stretched out her hand and pointed at the old man,

Road:

"You, you, don't you know the genealogy in the hearts of the masters, the miscellaneous family is a slave, outside, it seems that the slave is noble, and the scenery is beautiful, but in the final analysis, the master can see you and is willing to use you.

One day, if the master really doesn't need you, even the little eunuch who has just entered the palace will dare not take a look at you! ”

"Huh?" The old man apparently didn't understand.

"It's just bad luck, what do you think, the prince sent me on a business trip this time, and I encountered this kind of thing, and next time, even if it is to ask for good luck, I don't dare to use me anymore, ouch hey."

Li Yinglian continued to feel sorry for herself.

"Huh." The old man finally understood, and he had to sigh in his heart that life in the palace was not easy, and eunuchs were born to act;

The old man immediately added:

"Father-in-law, although he said that, do you know that after the prince knows about this, does he feel sad or happy?

So, do you know if the prince will see you as bad luck in the future, or will he think it is auspicious? ”

Li Yinglian just picked up the wine glass, when she heard the words, her wrist flicked, the wine spilled out, she hurriedly glared at the old man in front of her, and scolded:

"Bold!"

The old man continued to "hehe", and at the same time continued to eat peanuts, not impressed.

"You old thing, do you know what kind of place this is, do you know that Jing Nanhou has returned to the city last night? The Jingnan Army soldiers on the street outside, their eyes were so red that they were terrifying! ”

The old man was still calm and said:

"It's all dogs at the feet of the master, why is it so difficult for our family to talk behind closed doors?

Could it be that you, Li Yinglian, followed the master into the East Palace, and her identity was compared to Wei Zhonghe in the future, and now she immediately became precious, and she looked down on me, the old brother who licked the dog basin together? ”

"Lao Wen, you have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you are used to being casual, I don't blame you."

"I also want to live a peaceful and stable life, and I also want to buy a small yard in Yanjing City, and the three maids are waiting to support the elderly, but can I?

I'm Wen Yin, but I dare to say to the master that I'm old, I don't want to do it, believe it or not, the next day I have to throw these taels of meat into the stinky ditch outside Yanjing City to float? ”

Li Yinglian drooped her eyelids and said:

"Cheng, you can say whatever you want, there are not many opportunities for the miscellaneous family to come out on weekdays, but I really want to hear your opinion, and when I go back, I will have something to talk to the prince."

"That's it, you girl, why don't you talk nonsense, you Li Yinglian was not so timid when she killed your godfather when she took the throne."

"Missed."

"Not partial, let's start with your incident this time, what is the relationship between our master and Jingnanhou?"

"Uncle and nephew."

"No, in the eyes of outsiders, they all see it this way, saying that this Marquis of Jingnan is a big backer behind our prince, and the Marquis of Jingnan is here, so that our master can sit firmly in the position of the prince;

But outsiders can't see through it, you and me, can it be difficult that we can't be clear in our hearts?

Jingnanhou and our master, do you have a little bit of nephew and uncle?

No

Jing Nanhou is a person, it can even be said, but there is still a little affection? ”

Li Yinglian was silent.

"On the night of the Tian family's annihilation, the queen's mother returned home, and he Jingnanhou dared to destroy himself in front of the queen's mother, and the mother returned to the palace and has been ill so far, and even legend has it that she has hysteria.

Our master doesn't mention anything else, there is one thing that we all recognize, that is, filial piety, the relationship between the master and the queen, that is real.

You say, after this incident, our master will treat his uncle as an uncle, aside from the need to inherit the throne in the future, but there will be a little family affection left?

Hehe, even say a thousand things and ten thousand, the old man Tian is also the master's grandfather, Jingnanhou is a person who can even slaughter his own father and mother, so our majesty dares to use him today, and wait for our master to board the plane in the future, hehe. ”

Li Yinglian slowly closed her eyes.

"Okay, I know that you are staying in the palace, there are many rules, and it is big, I say these words, you feel uncomfortable listening to them, Cheng, let's not talk about this.

Let's talk about Mrs. Jingnanhou, you have also been in Tiancheng for a while, have you ever seen Mrs. Jingnanhou? ”

Li Yinglian opened her eyes and shook her head, "Mrs. Jingnan Hou lives in the depths of the Hou Mansion and is heavily guarded, and the Hou of Jingnan left an order before he set out on the expedition, and the Hou Mansion has no longer seen guests since he came back.

Don't say that I was ordered by the crown prince, even if he Wei Zhonghe came with the emperor's order, he wouldn't be able to enter this Hou Mansion, do you believe it or not? ”

"I believe, I believe, he Jingnanhou is indeed qualified to sell anyone's face."

"Therefore, since the miscellaneous family entered the city, they have been living in the post station outside the city, and they have never seen the marquise, so they wanted to wait, and after the birth, they will send the gift list for the prince, and take a note back, which can be regarded as being able to pay the errand.

After all, no one knows how long Jing Nanhou will return from this expedition, so he won't have to wait blindly. ”

"Do you know where the accident is?"

"On the mountain road of Tianhu Mountain, the people in this Litian City are all spreading, and it is said that there was a lot of movement that day."

"The words passed on by the people often can't be believed too much, but the people of this Litian City have spread that the Marquis of Jingnan has been killed excessively, and the retribution has fallen on his wife and son.

said that his wife had a nightmare when she was about to give birth, and wanted to go to the Taoist Temple of Tianhu Mountain to pray for the blessing of the Hou Ye, who wanted to come back, the Taoist ancestor sent a thunderbolt and chopped him to death.

In the end, there will be a comment on the so-called good and good and evil and evil. ”

Li Yinglian smiled and said:

"That's what I found."

"You believe it?"

"I don't believe it, the old lady in the palace once told us that he has practiced all his life, and he hasn't even heard a single fart from God.

Therefore, what good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the sky has eyes, they are all ghosts that fool people. ”

When Wen Yin heard this, he leaned back in his chair and said:

"You, you, you have indeed been in the palace for a long time, and people's brains are a little wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"What kind of thunder fell from the sky, naturally it can't be faked anymore, you actually think about this."

"What should the miscellaneous family think?"

"Think about it, Mrs. Hou of Jingnan, apart from the fact that he is the woman of the Hou Ye, what else does she have!"

Li Yinglian's face suddenly froze.

Moon Yin continued to give peanuts to his mouth, and at the same time said slowly:

"Over the years, I have helped the prince recruit some people in the rivers and lakes to do some things that are also shady in shady places, and I have also been in contact with people from the secret spy department.

They may have seen us as our masters, and we have never done anything to make a fire, so they generally turn a blind eye.

But to put it in my heart, it is said that the Qianguo Silver Armor Guard is pervasive, but our Dayan's secret spy department is by no means idle.

Let's talk about the marquise, if she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely go with the Marquis of Jingnan this time when she went to the snow field.

Such a woman, you say she will be distracted because her husband is away on an expedition and because she has a nightmare?

Then stupidly go to Tianhu Mountain to ask for incense and keep safe?

Doesn't she know how many enemies Jing Nanhou has outside?

Not to mention anything else, just in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, the people who want to kill Jingnanhou are too many to count! ”

Li Yinglian listened and took a small sip of wine;

"The crux of this question is why we, Mrs. Marquis of Jingnan, left the heavily guarded Hou Mansion and went to Tianhu Mountain."

Li Yinglian smashed her mouth and subconsciously asked:

"Why?"

Clinker, Wen Yin's next sentence, but it directly frightened the wine glass in Li Yinglian's hand to the ground and smashed it, and at the same time, the big man outside the door immediately pushed open the door and rushed in when he heard the sound.

"Get out, get out!"

Li Yinglian immediately pointed to the door and said sharply.

The big man was stunned for a moment, saluted, and exited the room, closing the door again.

Li Yinglian stroked her chest with her left hand, and the whole person was not sitting on a chair, but squatting on the ground.

He looked up,

Staring at the old man Moon Yin,

Whispered and hoarse asked:

"How dare you, how dare you!"

Moon Yin continued to eat peanuts freely,

And the sentence he asked earlier has been surrounding Li Yinglian's ears, and the words tingle the eardrums:

"Gonggong Li, you were sent by the crown prince to celebrate the children of the Marquis of Jingnan, then, did Your Majesty also send someone?"
