Chapter 51: The Messenger Comes

"Your Excellency, you can't go." Jin Lu said categorically, "This Wu Zijing has made it clear that he wants to catch them all." ”

"Of course I won't." Xu Huan pushed the letter and said with a smile, "The old man is seriously ill and has not recovered, where did he go?" ”

Ready-made reasons, not in vain.

Ji Jing took the letter and handed it to the staff: "Then refuse." ”

Xu Yin asked, "Will Wu Zijing give up?" ”

Xu Huan said: "When he makes such a play, it can be seen that he still doesn't want to fight." The internal instability is good, and it is easy to say that if there is a disappointment, it will fall apart in the blink of an eye. ”

Xu Yin nodded, anyway, it dragged on first, taking advantage of the deployment that should be deployed at this time, and the reinforcements who should be looking for reinforcements, Wu Zijing couldn't beat it for a while.

The deliberations lasted until noon, and then the people dispersed.

Xu Yin stayed to accompany his father to dinner.

Wei Junyu hesitated to report: "Second Prince Yan is still outside." ”

Xu Yinqi said: "Why is he here?" ”

Wei Jun looked helpless: "He came to play chess with adults every day, and he came today, and he couldn't get rid of it." ”

Xu Huan smiled: "Then invite him in." ”

"Yes."

Yan Ling came in and saw that Xu Yin was also there, and his eyes were shining. Finally maintained his reserve and saluted them: "Lord Xu, Miss Xu San." ”

Xu Huan smiled: "Second son Yan, you've been waiting for a long time, why don't you stay and have a meal?" ”

Yan Ling is cheeky and stays until now, isn't that just this? I was overjoyed at the moment: "Okay, good! ”

Xu Huan couldn't help but wonder, a young man, his mind is really clear.

Lunch was served, and the three of them each had a food table.

Xu Yin ate silently, pretending not to see the eager gaze from the other side.

"Second Master Yan, isn't this dish to taste?" Xu Huan asked.

"Ahh Yan Ling woke up and replied with a smile, "No, the flavor is unique and delicious." ”

"Really?" Xu Yin suddenly said, "Our chef can say, Yan Ergongzi is very difficult to serve, it is too bad to make mutton, it is fishy to make fish dishes, it is too bad to make braised meat, and it is too light to make steaming." Counting and counting, what our family hasn't let you find fault with is probably white rice. ”

"Uh......" Yan Ling regretted it, why did she have to be a demon when she first came? she

"Maybe Yan Er Gongzi is used to it?" Xu Tingshi was still kind, and made a round, "Come, have a meal." ”

With this play, Yan Ling was honest, ate in a proper manner, rinsed his mouth after the meal, and then accompanied the father and daughter to enjoy the coolness.

Yan Ling was racking his brains to figure out how to find out the news, Xu Huan was already shaking the fan and said: "I wanted to leave the second son of Yan to play in Nanyuan for a few days, but at present, I am afraid that I can't." ”

What does this mean? Yan Ling hurriedly asked, "Does Lord Xu think the kid is in the way?" ”

Xu Huan smiled: "What did Childe say?" It's not that I don't want to stay, but I can't stay, Nanyuan is now facing a major crisis, how dare the old man ask his son to take risks? ”

Yan Ling's heart sank, sure enough, something big happened today, right?

"What happened, can Lord Xu tell me? Maybe the kid can help. ”

Xu Huan was indifferent: "It was Yongcheng who had the accident, and Wu Zijing had already beaten it down." ”

Yan Ling was taken aback: "So fast? ”

"yes, faster than we thought it would be." Xu Huan continued, "He occupied Yongcheng, and sent a post to several nearby state capitals, saying that he would hold a lantern festival in Yongcheng, and invited us to participate in the grand event. ”

The people of Daliang believe in Buddhism, and the lantern festival is their grandest festival, mainly to worship the ancestor Daluo. Wu Zijing was originally not a Da Liang person, and what kind of lantern festival he held was simply to take the opportunity to show his might and ask them to surrender.

Yan Ling frowned and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Xu Huan shook the fan and chuckled: "The old man's illness is not well yet, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength!" ”

Yan Ling nodded, but her brows did not loosen.

Xu Huan took a sip of tea and continued: "So, we can't continue to keep Gongzi down. If the son has a heart, he will report a letter back to the customs and ask Ling Zun to stretch out a helping hand, and he will be grateful. ”

Yan Ling opened her mouth, but she didn't make any promises.

He returned to the guest house with a heavy heart, Yan Ji knew about it, and nagged beside him: "Childe, why don't you listen to Lord Xu, let's hurry back?" It sounds like Nanyuan will get involved in the war at any time! When it comes to this, there are too few things that the two of us can do, and we have to let Grandpa Guo make decisions. ”

Yan Ling lay on the banyan tree with his arms on his pillow, and glanced over when he heard the words: "You didn't say that a few days ago. ”

Desperately encourage him to marry Miss Xu San, so who is in Nanyuan's pocket?

Yan Ji said: "This time and that time! It used to be a piece of fat, but now there are tigers staring at it, and of course it's more important to run away! ”

Hearing him say this, Yan Ling tugged at the corners of his mouth. He's a metaphor, but that's exactly what it is.

He thought for a while and said, "For the sake of Tongyang, Nanyuan must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Wu Zijing, so this favor must be helped." However, it is not okay to ask my father to send troops, if you really fight with Wu Zijing, it will be a mud pit and will be benefited by others. ”

"So what to do?"

Yan Ling thought for a while and said, "Contact the secret agent first and send the news back." ”

……

Xu Huan's side didn't expect to rely on these two sentences to let Yan Ergongzi run for Nanyuan. I specially told him that it was to deliver the news to Zhao Guogong. In any case, Zhao Guogong would not want Nanyuan to fall into the hands of Wu Zijing.

The letter of rejection was soon sent to Yongcheng.

A few days later, Ji Jing hurriedly came over to report-

"My lord, Wu Zijing sent a messenger to find out about your condition."

Xu Huan sighed: "It's really aggressive!" ”

Xu Yin asked, "Father, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Xu Huan's fingers tapped on the armrest, and said with a smile: "Since you want to visit the patient, let him explore!" ”

The messenger from Yongcheng stayed in the post house that night.

This middle-aged official with a big belly asked when he saw Ji Jing: "I heard that there is a girl Xue from Nanyuan, who is famous in the capital with one hand, can you please come and see it?" ”

Ji Jing replied with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the adults, Miss Xue has already gone back to Beijing." ”

"That's it!" The envoy smacked his lips regretfully, thought about it and said, "It is said that the Xu family is shuangshu and looks captivating, I wonder if there is such an honor to see the demeanor of the two young ladies?" ”

Ji Jing is furious! It is really unreasonable to compare two young ladies with an official prostitute!

But when he glanced at it, he saw that the messenger seemed to be smiling, and the anger cooled down instantly. This person obviously did it on purpose, maybe he just waited for him to turn his face and grasp the reason to do it. At this time, Wu Zijing must not be given an excuse to send troops.

Thinking like this, Ji Jing held back his anger and squeezed out a smile: "The two young ladies are raised in the deep boudoir, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." ”

The envoy was deeply regretful, nodded and said, "Then early tomorrow morning, this official will go to visit Xu Tingshi, this shouldn't be inconvenient, right?" ”
