Chapter Forty-Eight: The Yongzhou Banquet
Xiao Ziqing said that when he accompanied Xiao Lian to Yongzhou, he really arrived in Yongzhou. And the definition of Yongzhou is accurate to the tree at the junction of Yongzhou and Yingzhou. As soon as he arrived at the border of Yongzhou, Xiao Ziqing finally removed his golden butt from the deck, clapped his hands and said: "Yongzhou is ahead, Lao Tzu doesn't go to see Xiao Yunying, Lao Tzu is gone!" Then, under the gaze of everyone, he got off the boat and left.
He Jingying said with a smile: "Xiao Yunchang really took great pains to dissociate himself from these assassins. ”
Xiao Lian finally let out a long sigh of relief. Xiao Ziqing stayed on the ship for two days. From the beginning of his inability to drink, Xiao Ziqing despised him in all directions. I think he is sour and rotten, he is pretentious, he is a showman, his basic skills are not solid, and he is lame at a young age, which makes people disgusted. In short, Xiao Ziqing looks down on him very much.
Xiao Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Daughter-in-law, what do you think is the origin of these black-clothed people this time?" ”
He Jingying shook her head.
Xiao Lian pondered: "I originally thought that Xiao Yunying failed to succeed in Stone City last time, and this time I should find an opportunity to start." If I can get the evidence, the crime of mutilating the clan will be enough for him to drink a pot. But I didn't expect it to be a northerner. Daughter-in-law, which do you think is more serious than treason against the enemy or the murder of the clan? ”
He Jingying was stunned: "Almost." ”
Xiao Lian: "What about the addition of the two?" ”
He Jingying: "It can kill people." ”
Xiao Lian reclined on the bed, propped up his head with his hand, and said, "So, daughter-in-law, do you think that killing us is too trivial to kill us with the northerners?" Originally, wasn't this assassination more powerful than the southerners, and could it be committed? If we die and the ship sinks, it is good to die, but if we don't die, isn't the risk of the people behind us too great? ”
He Jingying nodded noncommittally: "So, we are not the goal, or we are not the ultimate goal." ”
Xiao Lian: "Think about what would have happened if we had really died at that time. ”
He Jingying: "We are at the border of Yingzhou and were killed by the northerners, so Xiao Yunchang can't get away with the crime." But Xiao Yunchang is not a good person, he will definitely fight back, and the first thing he will think is that Xiao Yunying framed him. Yingzhou is next to Yongzhou, if those northerners come from Yongzhou, it is indeed possible. ”
Xiao Lian suddenly straightened up, and his face turned cold: "A-Ying, you said, if Xiao Yunchang and Xiao Yunying fight because of this, who will benefit?" ”
He Jingying's face changed instantly, and she became silent.
Who will benefit from the fight between Xiao Yunchang and Xiao Yunying? Who else but the crown prince?
Although Xiao Yunchang has no intention of competing for the throne on the surface, he is a thorn in the coffin everywhere. At that time, the prince raised a white deer in Dongtian Xiaoyuan, and was said by Xiao Yunchang to be a private auspicious treasure, despising the emperor's prestige and coveting the emperor's throne. For this reason, the prince was punished, fell ill, and changed from a high-spirited general to a civil servant who lived in the prince's mansion all the year round.
If you are charged with treason and treason with the enemy, and brutalize the clan, such a crime. Then if the two sides fight, either you die or I live. And the most important thing is that they are not dead, and the people who came to assassinate this time are limited. Someone deliberately spared their lives.
Xiao Lian smiled lightly: "Hey, maybe the situation is not so bad, aren't we not dead?" ”
As he spoke, the boat had come lightly to the shore. On the dock, Xiao Ziliang and Xiao Zimao were waiting there.
Xiao Lian walked down the boat with He Jingying, smiling innocently: "Second Uncle Wang, Uncle Seventh Wang, there was a delay on the way, so you have to wait for a long time." ”
Xiao Zimao smiled: "Law Body, don't tell me first before you leave." There are a lot of bandits on this river, are you all right? ”
The corners of Xiao Lian's mouth slanted and provoked: "I haven't encountered water bandits, but there are more than a dozen assassins from the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”
When Xiao Ziliang heard the words "Northern Wei Dynasty Assassin", a trace of surprise flashed on his face: "Northern Wei Dynasty Assassin? Xiao Ziliang looked back at Xiao Zimao: "Yunchang, have there been Northern Wei spies in Yongzhou recently?" ”
Xiao Lian and He Jingying glanced at each other, if it weren't for Xiao Ziliang's superb acting skills, then he really didn't know.
Xiao Zimao also looked puzzled, turned around and asked, "Wang Huanzhi, what's going on?" ”
The person who was called Wang Huanzhi was Xiangyang Taishou, and his face was full of panic when he heard this: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan has never heard of a spy in the Northern Wei Dynasty recently. What's more, the lower officials only found out about the arrival of the prince of Nanjun in Yongzhou yesterday, if this spy was from Yongzhou, how could he get the news so quickly? ”
Xiao Zimao seemed to suddenly realize something, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he returned to normal. He turned to Xiao Lian and said, "It's good that the Law Body is not injured, I will definitely investigate this matter in detail." ”
Xiao Ziliang nodded and said gently: "Let's not stand in this cold wind, Yunchang has already set up a banquet in the mansion to catch the wind for the Dharma body." ”
Xiao Lian was not polite and replied, "Okay." He Jingying walked into the carriage prepared by Xiao Zimao.
Xiao Zimao was about to turn around, but was grabbed by Xiao Ziliang: "This assassination, isn't it you?" ”
Xiao Zimao looked at Xiao Ziliang with some sarcasm: "Do you suspect that it's me?" Xiao Zimao sneered: "I can't afford the charge of treason against the enemy." ”
Yongzhou was originally located on the border, and Xiangyang was an important military town, although it has been peaceful in recent years, but there are also small wars and harassments. At the beginning of Shen, there were few shops on the street.
However, there is a world of difference between Yongzhou Thorn Mansion and this street. The pavilions and pavilions in the Thorn History Mansion, the carved beams and painted buildings, lead the mountain spring into the house to make the streamer pool, the pond bank is made of glazed glass, the pool surface is brilliant at night, such as the fairy Yao Pond.
The construction of this mansion is naturally Xiao Ziliang. Xiao Zimao has only been in office in Yongzhou for more than a year. So now, although Xiao Zimao is the assassin of Yongzhou, in fact, the assassination mansion is Xiao Ziliang's old department.
Wang Huanzhi, as the Taishou of Xiangyang, took the officials of Xiangyang County to toast Xiao Lian one by one during the banquet. Xiao Lian reclined on the seat, looking like he was about to fall into He Jingying's arms at any time. He held a teacup and took a perfunctory sip from each person who came, and although he had a smile on his face, the corner of his eye kept glancing at the scantily clad orchid in the hall.
Xiao Ziliang saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning: "Law Body, if you are tired, you can go and rest first." ”
Xiao Lian stared at the orchid so distracted that he didn't even hear Xiao Ziliang's words. He Jingying kicked him under the table in hatred. Xiao Lian came back to his senses. However, the original spirit is returned, but there is no intention to correct it. Xiao Lian didn't bother to raise his head, and replied: "No, it's rare that Uncle Qiwang has arranged so many programs, and my nephew hasn't finished his fun." After that, he raised his head and looked at Wang Huanzhi: "Is there anyone else?" ”
Wang Huan was stunned, thinking that this little prince was really rude, and the rumors about him were really true. But thinking about it, Wang Huanzhi's face was still full of smiles: "Yes, yes, this is Liu Xingzu, the chief of Xiangyang." ”
