There was no incense in the study, except for the slight fragrance on the sandalwood bogu shelf, the whole room was refreshing. Xu is the old marquis Jiang's heavy martial arts and light writing, and there is no bookshelf behind the case as in the ordinary official's mansion, but a strong and powerful character martial arts, which looks quite breathtaking. There is also a sword that is some years old hanging on the wall on the left, and it is a favorite thing for the old marquis Jiang, otherwise it will not be solemnly placed in the study.

The mighty Marquis got the notice of the old marquis Jiang, so he directly led Lan Yucheng and Mr. Jiang into the study. After bowing to the old marquis in front of the case, he didn't say a word, and turned around and left directly.

With the sound of "squeak", the door of the study had been closed by the departing mighty marquis, leaving only the three of them to talk in the room. As the footsteps outside the house faded away, Mr. Jiang still looked like "nothing to do with himself", lowering his eyelids and saying nothing; And Lan Yucheng and Old Marquis Jiang are looking at it carefully, if you want to say the difference, it is that Lan Yucheng is looking at Old Marquis Jiang, and this Old Marquis Jiang is looking at Mr. Jiang behind Lan Yucheng.

The peach hairpin that Mr. Jiang had taken out in front of the gate was being held in his hand by the old marquis Jiang at this time, and the gaze staring at Mr. Jiang was also indescribable. If it is exciting, it is not; If it is sharp, it seems that there is some unclear emotion in the eyes.

"Today, I took the liberty to disturb the door, and I hope that the old marquis will not be surprised." Someone has to break the silent and tense atmosphere, Lan Yucheng smiled slightly, and then looked at Old Marquis Jiang and bowed and said.

Old Marquis Jiang slowly withdrew his gaze on Mr. Jiang, and in a blink of an eye, he moved his gaze to Lan Yucheng's body, looking at it quite carefully. Just when Lan Yucheng's smile was about to stiffen on his face, Old Marquis Jiang spoke: "The truth that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, if you want to be as smart as the son of the world, you should understand it best in your heart." ”

Lan Yucheng's smile froze, he didn't expect that Old Marquis Jiang would say it so clearly from the beginning, but he could only swallow the words he had prepared in advance. Since the other party is so clear and straightforward, then if he says something to lure and coax, he can only be a villain: "The old marquis has made countless contributions to the Lan Dynasty all his life, Yu Cheng has been admired since he was a child, and his father has never been able to get your help, and he is very sorry." I shouldn't have come to disturb you if it weren't for Lan Shikang's too much force, and I would never have asked to see the old marquis."

Old Marquis Jiang waved his sleeves and directly blocked Lan Yucheng's next words: "The matter between Prince Luo's Mansion and the emperor, the old man has no intention of mixing it at all. It's just that the Mighty Marquis Mansion has always acted according to the emperor's orders, and the prince said that no matter how much. If he hadn't brought you in, the old man would never have seen you. ”

If Lan Yucheng asked to see him alone, although Old Marquis Jiang would not kill Lan Yucheng, he would not let him step into the Mighty Marquis Mansion for half a step at all. If it is said that the old marquis is Lan Yucheng today, it is better to say that Mr. Jiang behind Lan Yucheng is the person he wants to see.

Lan Yucheng's mind sank slightly when he heard this, he knew that this road was not easy to walk before he came, but now it is much more difficult than he thought. Although he was worried in his heart, Lan Yucheng's face was not obvious at all, and he raised a faint smile again, and said: "The old marquis is wrong, I know that the old marquis will not help me, and I have never had such a plan before I came." The old marquis respects Lan Shikang, just because he is now the saint of the day, but if it weren't for his secret villainous behavior, today's throne should have been my father's. ”

The old marquis's rugged big hand unconsciously stroked the hairpin in his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "It has always been a king who has always been a king and a loser, no matter what happened before, at least now your father is no longer there." The old man knows that you have some opportunities over the years, if you are willing to retreat, I think the emperor should not be 100% sure that he will take your life. You have not yet reached the age of establishment, and you have a long way to go in this life, so why risk your life for the rest of your life for some past. ”

Old Marquis Jiang was persuading Lan Yucheng to leave Kyoto, the land of right and wrong, and he was also indirectly telling Lan Yucheng that he had no intention of embarrassing him at all. If Lan Yucheng is willing to give up the hatred of the country and family in his heart, he may be able to help send him away.

In fact, Old Marquis Jiang did not do this entirely for Lan Yucheng's sake. Instead, he was worried that the person behind Lan Yucheng was also involved in this dispute.

Lan Yucheng frowned with a pair of sword eyebrows, and said, "If you don't avenge your parents' family, you are unfilial; Disobeying the orders of the emperor is disloyalty; Such unfilial and disloyal people have no face to live in the world. Moreover, this year, there was a great drought in various places, countless victims were displaced, and some officials had already reported the matter to the imperial court, but Lan Shikang was never willing to open the treasury and save the people of Li from fire and water.

"Since you know that I won't help you, why do you want to come here if it's just to estranged the emperor from the mighty marquis's mansion, then you don't have to." The old marquis's voice was obviously much deeper than just now: "After you leave, the old man will write to the emperor to ask for guilt and explain the reason." Thinking about this, the emperor will still look at the old man's face and forgive one or two. ”

His careful eyes were completely put on the surface, but Lan Yucheng's face did not show a trace of embarrassment. He did come with such an idea, but since he entered this door, he naturally planned more for himself. Since it didn't make sense on the surface, Lan Yucheng thought about it for a while, and then said tentatively: "The mighty Marquis Mansion has always been the power of Lan Shikang's face, I don't know if the old marquis can know Lan Shikang's secret methods."

Suddenly, the old marquis changed his low voice just now, raised his eyes to look at Lan Yucheng, and sneered: "Although I don't know why your legs are crippled, it's just that the third lady of the Lin Mansion just stole Qianfeng's antidote for you from the emperor, are you such a confidante, you are really blessed." ”

Old Marquis Jiang's attitude changed in an instant, and a coercion came towards Lan Yucheng head-on. As long as he thought about it for a while, Lan Yucheng knew why Old Marquis Jiang was like this.

Since Lan Shikang already knew Xiao Ruo's identity, he naturally told Jiang Ruyue who died at the hands of the old marquis Jiang. The mighty Marquis Mansion has many sons but few daughters, and Jiang Ruyue was put on the tip of her heart by the old Marquis Jiang at the beginning. Now that Xiao Ruo has killed Jiang Ruyue, the old marquis Jiang has naturally hated Xiao Ruo.

It's just that he can see that Old Marquis Jiang and Mr. Jiang have a lot of affection, and it is impossible for Mr. Jiang to watch Xiao Ruo in danger and ignore it. I just don't know what their relationship is, so so far Lan Yucheng has no intention of involving Mr. Jiang in this matter.

Not wanting Jiang Ruyue's matter to arouse the anger of Old Marquis Jiang, Lan Yucheng changed the topic and said: "The fifty killers of Qianfeng in Lan Shikang's hands must not be able to hide from Old Marquis Jiang's eyes and ears. There is only one thing, the old marquis must still be in the dark by Lan Shikang. ”

Seeing that Old Marquis Jiang gradually regained his coercion, Lan Yucheng continued: "Lan Shikang also controls another group of forces in his hands, most of which come from the rivers and lakes. It's not that they're willing to follow Lan Shikang's instructions, it's that they have to. It's just because they have all become living puppets in the hands of Lan Shikang."

Old Marquis Jiang immediately raised his head when he heard this, this was the first time since Lan Yucheng entered the study that he was so serious: "This is true"

Lan Shikang stretched out his hand to the rivers and lakes, and he knew this. The earliest Qianfeng was still a young child who he personally picked and watched grow up. It's just a living puppet, he doesn't know at all, it can be seen that after so many years, Lan Shikang is still guarding against him.

In fact, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion can be regarded as loyal to Lan Shikang, otherwise he would not have let Jiang Ruyue marry in the past, and now he has sent Jiang Ronghua to the palace. Such a plan is just to let the queen who was born in the Mighty Marquis Mansion take care of it, and to make the Mighty Marquis Mansion prosperous and last.

"If the old marquis Jiang doesn't believe it, you can go to the inns around Miaoyi Hutong to find those people in the rivers and lakes and ask. The royal family and martial arts have always entered the water and did not violate the river water, in the past, Qianfeng was just for money, but now it has aroused the anger of the people in the rivers and lakes. Lan Shikang wanted to hold the martial arts in his hands, but he didn't think that these people in the rivers and lakes were no better than ordinary people, and the water could indeed carry boats, but it could also overturn boats."

When Lan Shikang said this, he not only wanted to tell Old Marquis Jiang that he thought that Lan Shikang didn't trust him much, but also to make it clear to Old Marquis Jiang that he had the power to fight with Lan Shikang in his hands.

Old Marquis Jiang was speechless, looking at the peach hairpin in his hand in a daze, as if the hairpin would tell him the answer. After a long time, the voice of the old marquis Jiang sounded in the study again: "The prince can go back." ”

This sentence is already a clear eviction order. Lan Yucheng also had no intention of doing anything stubborn, so he arched his hand and said: "Then I will leave in the future, and I hope that Old Marquis Jiang will choose a path that is good for you and the Mighty Marquis Mansion." After speaking, Lan Yucheng reached out and put on the hinges on both sides of the wheelchair, ready to leave.

"My son, you haven't come back for so many years, don't you want to talk to your father anymore" The person who spoke was clearly still the old marquis Jiang, but the morale of Na Rongma's life had all faded, and the person sitting there had clearly become an old and dying old father.

Mr. Jiang originally planned to leave with Lan Yucheng, but when he heard this, his body suddenly stiffened in place, and he recovered after only a moment: "I owe Miss Lin San's biological mother a human life, and she entrusted this daughter to me on her deathbed, this is one of them; Second, if it weren't for Jiang Ruyue's deception too much, Miss Lin San would never have attacked her; Moreover, just by marrying a daughter, how long does the old marquis think he can continue to prosper the mighty marquis mansion?"

Mr. Jiang said in a stiff tone, and he didn't even call Old Marquis Jiang his father, but Old Marquis Jiang didn't even say any more, and just watched this son who had been separated for decades leave his sight.
