Chapter 52: Waiting for Xiangyan in front of the stone arch bridge
"No, why should I consider an alliance that doesn't have any benefits? Two messengers, please come back. Xiangyan directly ordered the eviction.
There's no need to talk about it anymore!
"Retire below." Seeing this, Zhong Liyao bowed and walked out of the inner hall and left the City Lord's Mansion.
And Zhao Yan is still in place.
Seeing that Zhao Yan hadn't left, Xiangyan asked, "Zhao envoy?" But is there anything else? ”
"Zhao has something he wants to ask the Lord of Xiangcheng." Zhao Yan replied, his tone no longer like the-for-tat when he spoke to Zhong Liyao just now.
"Please." Anyway, she doesn't know about it, just find a prevarication to prevaricate.
"Can the Lord of Xiangcheng recognize a woman? Her name is Xiangyan. Zhao Yan's blurted out words that made Xiangyan take another breath of cool air.
"Ahem, Xiangyan? I don't know, I don't know, what are you looking for her? Xiangyan replied with a sloppy look.
The people below looked at Xiangyan with a meaningful gaze.
Just now there was a Zhong Liyao, and now a Zhao Yan, this lord can be wandering among all kinds of men.
"But Zhao saw her enter the City Lord's Mansion with her own eyes last night with the girl next to the City Lord of Xiang? I thought that Miss Xiangyan was the sister of the Lord of Xiangcheng. Zhao Yan saw Li Chunyi next to Xiangyan, and thought that the petite girl Han Rui said should be her.
I went back last night and was followed! When Xiangyan heard this, she thought that something was wrong, and she had to quickly find a reason to fool her!
"Sister Yan entered the City Lord's Mansion with me, but then she left again, and the City Lord Xiang didn't know about this." Li Chunyi opened his mouth to answer Zhao Yan's question.
"Oh, I see, can this girl tell me her address? I wanted to see the girl again and ask some questions. Zhao Yan asked Li Chunyi kindly.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yan and I just met in Pingshui, so I don't know where she lives? I just forgot to bring money when I went out last night, but fortunately, I met Sister Yan with the help of a few taels of silver, and I took Sister Yan back to the City Lord's Mansion just to repay her silver, and I am the same as Zhao Envoy, I only know her name. Li Chunyi said calmly, his tone and eyes did not fluctuate.
Xiangyan was very surprised that Li Chunyi could not blush and have a heartbeat! And there are no flaws!
"It turns out that there are such things, why don't you tell me, Chunyi? Have you ever thanked that Xiangyan girl? Xiangyan assisted from the side.
"Don't worry, Brother Zilan, thank you well, Sister Yan is still very grateful to you for beating Wu Fan away!" Li Chunyi blinked her big eyes, took Xiangyan's arm and said obediently.
Zhao Yan heard the conversation between Li Chunyi and them, and his heart was a little lost, and his thoughts turned a thousand times, could it be that Xiangyan and this Xiangcheng Lord have nothing to do with each other? Could it really be that as this girl said, Xiangyan entered the City Lord's Mansion just to get back the silver lent to her? Then when did this girl leave the City Lord's Mansion? Was it when Han Rui came back to report?! Weird! Zhao Yan always felt a little weird, but he didn't know where the weirdness was.
"Then can the city lord of Laoxiang find the address of Miss Xiangyan from the household register for me?" Zhao Yanzuo bowed and said that as long as there was a household register, he would be able to find her address.
"This ......" Xiangyan was a little embarrassed, because she didn't have herself in the household register at all!
"Zhao envoy, under the command of the lord of Xiangcheng is Wu Zhibo, unfortunately, when Wu Fan governed Wuzhou, the flow of population was never recorded, so there is no household registration book handed down, so I am preparing to reorganize a household registration book." Wu Zhibo came forward and said.
He was telling the truth, Wu Fan never levied taxes or anything during his reign in Wu, basically he didn't give money wherever he went to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, just look for Ruan Yu when he asked for money! So he didn't care about the flow of people.
"So? Can Master Wu help me with this after sorting out the household register? ”
"This ......" Wu Zhibo cast a look at Xiangyan for help, how should I make it up next? You can't register the information of the lord, right?
Zhao Yan saw it in his eyes, he knew that the person who nodded was the seemingly weak Xiang Zilan in the hall, so he negotiated: "Lord Xiangcheng, I have an indirect way to help you solve the crisis of Wuzhou, and maybe I can also help you subdue the entire territory of Wuzhou, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
Well? Mention this at this time? What kind of wishful thinking is this Zhao Yan making? Solve the danger of Wuzhou? Conquer the whole territory of Wuzhou?
False Path?
Or Wei Wei to save Zhao?
"Of course I'm interested, but how do I know if what you're saying is true or false? Besides, why are you helping me? Xiangyan decided to listen to what Zhao Yan had to say.
"Why? Of course, it was the Xiang City Lord who helped me find someone, and I naturally wanted to help the Xiang City Lord retreat from the enemy. Zhao Yan smiled, looking like a humble gentleman.
"But how did I find that person?"
"Then it's none of my business."
"You're a strong man!"
"I don't know if it's difficult for a strong man, but I think this deal is very cost-effective for the Xiang City Lord, and the Xiang City Lord shouldn't refuse, right?"
Xiangyan fell into deep thought, what was there to do that she and Zhuge Xian didn't expect? Solve the danger of Wuzhou? Conquer the whole territory of Wuzhou? Even Zhuge Xian plans to subdue the entire territory of Wuzhou has several steps, what kind of idea will Zhao Yan have in mind? I still don't have a clue when I think about it......
After thinking about it again, Xiangyan decided to agree to him first and come up with a way first.
"Okay, I promise you, tell me your way."
"That's not good, is the Lord of Xiangcheng planning to use my set of information? Since it's a deal, it's fair and just. ”
"Fair and just? So what kind of fairness and justice do you want? Xiangyan questioned Zhao Yan, she wanted to trick him, but he saw through it.
"Three days later, I will wait for her on the stone arch bridge where I met Miss Xiangyan for the first time, if the Lord of Xiangcheng finds Miss Xiangyan, you don't have to tell me her address, you can ask her to come and meet me, I will tell her that method, and then she will tell you, I will ask her the address in person, so that the Lord of Xiangcheng will not suffer, and I will not suffer, but it is fair and just?" Zhao Yan put his hands behind his back, as if he had planned it a long time ago.
Xiangyan's eyebrows were tightly locked, didn't she want her to see him in person and get information from him? Is it really okay to meet such an uneasy and kind man? I don't know if his method will work, but what if it is really what he says? It's another gamble! "Envoy Zhao, go back, if I can find Miss Xiangyan, I will ask her to go in three days."
Get out!
"Then thank the City Lord of Xiang, Zhao Yan said goodbye."
Zhao Yan made a standard diplomatic salute, exited the council hall, and left the City Lord's Mansion.
And then in Xiangyan's study, a group of people chattered and exploded.
Only people in the study who know Xiangyan's identity are there.
"Sister Yan, those two messengers who came today are the two stupid ones you said you met last night?" Li Chunyi had a gossipy question.
Xiangyan nodded in acquiescence.
Guan Qianyi said unconvinced: "It turns out that Yan'er secretly wore her daughter's costume to go out to play yesterday!" Damn it! It's been a long time since I've seen Yeona's beauty! Wear it for me! "This sour look looks like a resentful husband who has been abstinent from his wife!
"Neurotic!" Xiangyan scolded.
"The Xiangcheng Lord is beautiful and fragrant, and he has attracted the envoys of the two major warlords from the north and south to ask the city lord to find someone just by going out for one night, and Ziying admires it so much!"
"Son, don't tease me." Xiangyan smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly, she didn't want to attract two such troublesome characters.
"Lord, that Zhong Liyao said that you are the wife of his brother Zhong Liyao, this matter?" Lu Yong asked suspiciously, if Xiangyan admitted it, he would not be surprised at all, after all, there are few women in this world who are worthy of that man.
"That's it! It is! Is it true? What is that Zhongli? What's the color? Dare to casually recognize my Yan'er as his wife? Just ask him if he dares to fight me alone! When Guan Duyi heard this topic, he made a noise, and he was ashamed to find Zhong Licao to fight alone! He was just healed from the injuries he suffered when he was fighting Wu Fan, and he thought about fighting someone else? It's so good that the scar forgets the pain!
"Shut up! Restless! You can't be serious when you are righteous? Xiangyan angrily pointed at Guan Duyi and said.
Guan Duyi saw Xiangyan murder him! Suddenly withered, squatting in the corner of the wall and facing the wall.
"Lu Yong! Do you also believe that I am Xiao Zhao, Zhong Licao's wife? Xiangyan asked Lu Yong rhetorically.
Hearing this, Lu Yong knelt down on his knees and paused: "Yes or no, you are my lord, and you have nothing to do with your husband!" ”
"Get up, I don't blame you." Xiangyan helped Lu Yong up, patted the dust on his knees, and said softly.
"The lord really wants to see the Zhao envoy in three days?" Wu Zhibo put forward the key points.
To see or not to see?
Ziying thought that it was better to wait for Mr. Zhuge to come back and discuss, there were still three days, what was the use if the soldiers of Yunyang City arrived? It's better to take precautions first, just in case! Ziying expressed her opinion.
Xiangyan nodded in agreement.
Indeed, it is more important to consider the present.
In three days, anything can happen.
"Then go your own way."
Time passed quickly, and two days passed in one fell swoop.
Zhuge Xian Tian Shaoqian returned to Wuzhou City in one step.
Tian Shaoqian also returned to Wuzhou City with a young scholar at ten o'clock in the evening.
"Mr. Zhuge is not harmed?"
"Reasonable?! Don't come unharmed! ”
"This is a letter from my grandfather, saying that he was too old to come in person, and he felt very sorry, so he sent me." Kong Yanli took out a letter and handed it to Zhuge Xian.
Zhuge Xian took it, this is indeed Kong Zhiren's handwritten letter!
Brother Zhuge Xian personally revealed:
How is Brother Zhuge good? Meng Zhuge Xian's brother is gracious, when he saved the old decay in danger, the old decay promised no matter when and where, willing to go to help, this year is old, I feel powerless, I am afraid that the old decay is clumsy, the aunt has helped him, the grandson is reasonable, full of what the old decay has learned, full of poetry and books, full of economy, the decay has long been inferior to him in recent years, so rest assured.
I also hope that Brother Zhuge Xian will not blame the old man for being insincere.
