Chapter 437: Birthday Banquet
"Ah Zhan, this matter is over, when will we leave?" After Xue Yao was cold to him for a day, the husband and wife reconciled as before.
"Although the Night Gate no longer exists, the things in the rivers and lakes have not passed!" Wang Yunfeng has never heard from him, and Jiang Zhan's psychology is not very steady.
Since the leader of the Wanyue Organization was replaced by Jiang Chengfeng, that grand event in the rivers and lakes has naturally changed.
Gao Guanghai gathered them together, originally to use them to confront the imperial court.
At that time, he didn't know that he was also being used by Wang Yunfeng and the officials in the court who hated the emperor.
Wang Yunfeng is now a wanted criminal, and the official who secretly retaliated against the emperor has also been locked up in the prison waiting for beheading.
The emperor originally wanted to execute him immediately, but he wanted to torture the two of them after he caught Wang Yunfeng.
In order to retaliate, the other party was able to hide in the court all the time, and the emperor was extremely angry when he thought that he had planned to reuse this person.
So he didn't want the other party to die so happily.
Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao naturally would not interfere in the internal affairs of the imperial court......
They only need to cooperate to catch Wang Yunfeng, and this matter will be completely over.
Jiang Zhan originally wanted to wait for a while, find a secluded place to settle down temporarily, and talk about going to Jiangnan later.
Nowadays, there is a lot of turmoil in the rivers and lakes, especially the collapse of the Dark Night Gate, which makes many people want to move.
He was worried that Ling Haoxuan would be involved in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, after all, the matter of the Dark Night Gate was their hands.
Xue Yao understood his concerns, so she didn't mention the matter again, but she knew that the day when they would leave here was not far off.
In any case, Xue Yao didn't want to stay here all the time, although it was quite quiet and safe here, but there were people from the rivers and lakes coming over at any time, and she was uneasy.
She wanted to find a place without the disturbance of the rivers and lakes, and live the life of ordinary people with Jiang Zhan and Ling Haoxuan, although it was dull but at ease.
Xue Yao has never had any ambitions, even before she came through, she just wanted to make money desperately and have her own home as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the cost of working hard is too great, so I got her to this place directly.
However, Xue Yao not only regretted it, but was also very glad that God gave her another life and let her meet the other half of her life.
Although the ancient days were boring at first, but after she fell in love with Jiang Zhan, the days became warm and sweet, although there were many dangers mixed with them, but as long as he was by his side, Xue Yao felt happy.
The next day, Murong Shi suddenly came to find them and resigned!
"Aren't you going to leave with us?" Xue Yao always thought that Murong Shi would go to seclusion with them, away from earthly strife, after all, he had always been quiet.
"I still have some things to deal with, and I'll come back to you when I have the chance!" Murong Shi shook his head with a smile.
"Are you in trouble?" A trace of worry crossed Xue Yao's eyes.
The affairs of the rivers and lakes have not yet subsided, so after Xue Yao heard his words, he was inevitably a little nervous.
Even though she knew that Murong Shi was very skilled, anyone he resisted couldn't get close to him at all, but she was still apprehensive in her heart.
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just going to deal with some personal matters, and there will be no danger!" When Murong Shi saw their expressions, he knew that they were worried, and it was really warm for someone to remember their worries.
However, Murong Shi didn't want them to change their original plan because of themselves.
After all, their husband and wife have always wanted to live a life without contention.
"If anything, you will send us a message!" No matter how far away they are, they will definitely rush back.
"Don't worry, if I don't allow it, no one can hurt me!" Murong Shi's martial arts are good, and he has medicine on him all the year round, unless the other party really doesn't want to die, no one will dare to provoke him.
Murong Shi is low-key, and not many people know him, so when he walks on the rivers and lakes, few people take the initiative to find trouble.
To those people, he was just a handsome ordinary man.
Seeing that Murong Shi was unwilling to reveal the reason for leaving, they didn't ask.
Murong Shi was willing to say that they would naturally listen, if he didn't want to say it, there must be a reason, why should they ask more......
That night, Murong Shi left alone with his luggage.
"I thought he would always go with us!" Xue Yao sighed.
"Murong has his own life, he has always acted secretly, and no one can stop him!" Jiang Zhan felt that when the matter at hand was over, maybe he would come over to find their husband and wife.
After all, there are few people in the world he cares about.
After a few days, after Jiang Chengfeng sorted out the contradictions within the Wanyue Organization, he began to arrange for those people to leave, and the event was over.
Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that she would be able to leave in a few days, but at this time, they received a letter from the emperor.
"What's going on?" Nowadays, whenever he encounters the emperor's affairs, Xue Yao is easily nervous.
She was afraid that something would happen to the capital again, which would make their itinerary turbulent again.
"Don't worry, the emperor wrote to us just to let us go back to his birthday banquet!" The emperor's birthday is approaching, this is his first birthday after ascending the throne, so naturally it can't be simple.
"I thought there was a new trouble on the emperor's side!" Hearing this, Xue Yao was immediately relieved.
The emperor's birthday was a good day for the whole world to celebrate, and he would hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers of the court and the central government, their relatives, and other royal children.
However, in order to compete for the throne, their brothers had already been the same enemy in private.
Now that he is the final victor, others will definitely not be convinced, but the emperor has not died yet, and they dare not be presumptuous.
After all, the emperor is justifiable, and if they dare to make a move, they are rebels who usurp power and seize the throne, and everyone will be punished.
So after they were named princes recently, they have settled down a lot, and before they are completely sure, they will all take their covetousness to the throne in their hearts.
"Ah Zhan, what are you going to do?" The emperor personally sent a letter, if they didn't go, wouldn't it be a refutation of each other's face.
"In the letter, the emperor mentioned his gratitude to me, but I don't think this matter is that simple!" Jiang Zhan knew that he might really just want them to go back and congratulate him on his birthday.
However, the water in the capital is very deep, and they have just left, can they go back at this time and leave as they wanted as they did before.
Xue Yao was also worried about this.
The emperor thanked them for helping to deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which Jiang Zhan and Xue did not dare to accept.
Although they are helping, they are also selfish.
However, when it came to the emperor's birthday banquet, Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao were quite hesitant, and if they refused, the emperor would definitely be unhappy, but they really didn't want to go back to the capital at this time......
The next day, Ling Haoxuan was very surprised to learn that they were suddenly going back to the capital.
They gave up a lot before they had a chance to leave the capital, but now they want to go back, Ling Haoxuan wondered, "You suddenly changed your mind, is there something wrong with the capital?" ”
"The emperor's birthday is in a few days, the emperor wrote to invite us back to attend his birthday banquet, I discussed it with Ah Zhan, and I plan to go back tomorrow!" Although they didn't want to go, His Majesty had personally invited them, and if they didn't go, he would definitely be displeased.
Jiang Zhan is no longer an official, but there are many things, but the friendship between them and the emperor is still there.
They had to go to this birthday party.
After Ling Haoxuan knew the reason, he instantly understood.
As far as he was concerned, the capital was just like any other place, and since they had decided to go back, Ling Haoxuan naturally had to follow.
The three of them left the place with their men.
On the way back to the capital, Jiang Zhan tried to write a letter to contact Murong Shi, wanting to tell each other their whereabouts.
It's a pity that his letter was lost in the sea, after all, Murong Shi didn't tell him where he was before leaving.
Jiang Zhan used the way of transmitting messages between them, tying the letters to the legs of carrier pigeons, these pigeons were fed by Murong Shi himself, and they have been different since childhood.
The pigeons he raised were mixed with some medicinal herbs, and the pigeons he raised were much smarter than ordinary carrier pigeons.
This time, though, the pigeons came back in vain.
The pigeon couldn't find its owner, so it went back the same way to find Jiang Zhan.
"Murong doesn't know where he went, and he can't even find the pigeons he raises!" Xue Yao sighed and said.
In the past, as long as this pigeon was used to send a message, Murong Shi would definitely be able to receive it.
"He must have something very important to do, and it is not convenient for us to contact him, so he doesn't even want the pigeons that he has fed himself!" Jiang Zhan didn't know if he was safe now, but judging from all indications, Murong Shi should have deliberately made people unable to find him.
When he fed this pigeon, he moved his hands and feet, and ordinary people couldn't see through it, only they and Murong Shi knew it clearly.
He used to like this pigeon very much, but now he deliberately left it here, obviously for another reason.
However, for Jiang Zhan and his wife, as long as Murong Shi is safe, everything else doesn't matter.
After they arrived in the capital, they quietly lived in their original house.
When Jiang Zhan did not enter the court as an official, they had their own house in the capital.
Xue Yao liked to buy a house at that time, she felt that the house in the capital would become more and more valuable, and she bought three houses in one go.
Later, Jiang Zhan was admitted to the martial arts, and the emperor gave him a mansion, and the couple has been living in the courtyard given by the emperor.
Jiang Zhan resigned, and that house naturally didn't belong to them.
Moreover, they did not want others to know about their return......
So they quietly lived in the quiet courtyard.
Although this small courtyard is not as luxurious as the mansion given by the emperor, Xue Yao likes it very much.
As soon as they settled down, Jiang Chengfeng brought people to send a lot of gifts.
"Jiang Gongzi has had a good harvest these days!" Xue Yao teased.
"If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to become the leader of the Waning Moon Organization, so I'm here to thank you this time!" He sent Xue Yao some rare treasures, and also sent a few valuable calligraphy and paintings to Jiang Zhan, even Ling Haoxuan.
He knew that the three of them had always been inseparable, so he specially prepared three gifts.
"We are helping each other, although we poisoned Gao Guanghai, but without you, we would not be able to get out so easily!" She regards Jiang Chengfeng as a friend, so she will help her at any cost.
