Chapter 44: Plan Ahead

"County Lord, you're finally out." The county lord was about to stuff himself in the study for a day and a night, and at this moment he saw the door in the study open, and immediately stepped forward, and the county lord walked out of the study with a tired face.

"Infernal, I'm going to the Qingwen Pavilion and prepare the car."

Infernal saw the county lord's serious face, not like he was joking. However, today the whole of Kyoto is full of rumors that the Imperial Mansion and the General Chen's Mansion are secretly colluding with each other to rebel. He thought, at this moment, the county lord is going out, I'm afraid it's not good, not to mention, it's better to go to that kind of place.

"What? Didn't hear? ”

The county lord saw the dark circles under his eyes, and thought that he must not have rested well last night, so he reminded: "After preparing the car, go back to the room to rest." ”

Wujian replied embarrassedly: "Yes, county lord, my subordinates will go and prepare." ”

After a while, in front of the county king's mansion, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the vermilion gate, like a white birch standing upright in the cold wind, Ling Ran was arrogant.

The county lord did not board the step tread specially prepared for her, and jumped directly into the carriage, and after the county lord entered the carriage, the gold wire inlaid curtain hung freely.

Xiao Si, who was driving, skillfully picked up the reins, and the carriage began to drive into the bustling street from slow to fast.

"Isn't that the carriage of the county king's mansion?" The men on both sides gave way and watched as the carriage drove past them with impunity.

"Did you hear that? The county king's mansion and the general Chen's mansion colluded with each other, hundreds of officials wrote to the empress, and the empress was angry. ”

The county lord sat in the car and listened to the people on the street, and for a person who had lived in rumors since childhood, this verbal attack was insignificant to her.

"Be quiet, don't be heard, that's a big sin." A man reminded the person next to him who was talking to him.

"Hehehe." The county lord sneered a few times in a low voice, ignorant fool, if the county lord cares, I'm afraid it won't be the turn of a bunch of ants to talk nonsense here. She held the stove in her hand, enjoying the pleasure of the warm current spreading from the palm of her hand to her body.

"Woo ......" The carriage came to a steady stop.

"County Lord, the Qingwen Pavilion has arrived."

The county lord put down the stove in her hand, picked up a letter from the table in front of her, tucked it into her wide cuffs, and stepped out of the carriage.

"You go back first, you won't have to pick it up for a while." After the county lord explained, he walked directly to the Qingwen Pavilion.

Qingwen Hall, as lively as ever, no matter what the outside world is, here, will not be affected in the slightest, here, the paradise of happiness, the place of ecstasy.

The county lord walked into the Qingwen Pavilion and came directly to the second floor. When she walked to Hongzhao's house, Hongzhao was already waiting for her.

"County Lord, why did it take so long to come? The slave family misses you. ”

As soon as the county lord entered the door, he saw Hong Zhao dressed in red, his chest revealing a large area of snow white, and a few strands of green silk poured down, indescribably enchanting and charming.

Crispy and numb, mixed with a very provocative voice, echoed in the ears of the county lord, trying to make the county lord detach himself from reality and gallop on the grassland.

After a long time, Hong Zhao didn't wait for the county lord to go to his bed tent, and he got out of bed by himself.

Picking up the curtain as thin as a light silk, "The county lord is worthy of being the county lord, and his restraint is amazing, if he had changed others, he would have been impatient and came over", Hong Zhao said as he walked towards the county lord.

The county lord stood aside as if he had lost his patience, and said to those seductive eyes, "What? Broke the vows today? ”

When Hong Zhao heard the county lord's words, he couldn't help but smile, "How can it, the slave family has never opened meat, and it is still a virgin, why don't you taste it today?" ”

Seeing that Hong Zhao had been tempting her, the county lord's face changed significantly, "Hong Zhao, you have been getting bolder and bolder recently. ”

Without waiting for Hong Zhao to answer, the county lord returned to the topic, "Let's get down to business, what's going on over there lately?"

Of course, Hong Zhao knew that the county lord was referring to Shangshu Mansion, so he replied truthfully: "On the day of the autumn hunt, Li Ruofei quietly went out of the mansion and went to General Zheng's mansion. ”

The county lord frowned, remembering that there was a man in black who was very similar to Zheng Kai's figure at the edge of the forest that day, could it be that she was the person? However, before the time has come for Zheng Kai to be imprisoned, will she resist the decree and leave the house?

"What else?" The county lord sat down.

Hong Zhao also sat down at the table, and seeing that the county lord did not object, he poured tea for the county lord, "Shangshu Mansion seems to have troops transferred?" ”

Well? The county lord looked at him suspiciously, as if he wanted to ask for more information. After many years of tacit understanding, Hong Zhao certainly knew what the county lord wanted to ask, "Since the last time our people saw a soldier in armor when they were secretly investigating Shangshu Mansion, our subordinates have been closely watching the movements over there. The day before yesterday, his subordinates found that several people disguised themselves as entourages and followed Li Shangshu's car to the autumn hunting site. ”

The county lord frowned, sure enough, it was not bad as she expected, "The ambition of the wolf son of Shangshu Mansion is obvious, but this old fox is too deeply hidden, and we don't have the strength to move her at present." ”

Hong Zhao's favorite thing is to discuss things with the county lord, whether it is the general righteousness of the country or trivial matters, only in this way can he feel that he is the person next to the county lord, and he can have a feeling of integrating into the county lord's life.

"The county lord said yes. I believe that one day we will be able to bring them down. ”

The county lord drank the tea poured by Hong Zhao himself, remembered what she was going to do today, and suddenly his expression became solemn, "Hong Zhao, I may have to go on a long trip, you secretly help General Chen's mansion for me, and try to win over some courtiers for our use." ”

As soon as Hong Zhao heard that a task had been issued, he agreed directly without thinking about it. This at least shows that he is irreplaceable in the county lord, the county lord needs him, and the county lord can't do without him.

"Where is the county lord going this time? How long is it going to go? ”

In the face of Hong Zhao's question, this time, the county lord did not hesitate, and directly confessed: "Border Pass, one year." ”

Hong Zhao's restless fingers on the table suddenly froze, "What? So far? So long? ”

The county lord nodded, "This county lord has already thought it through. ”

Hong Zhao knew that since it was the county lord's decision, there would be her reason, so he didn't ask much, but he was reluctant in his heart, "Soon it will be a cold winter, the border is cold, the soldiers are in chaos, the county lord must take care." ”

The county lord took a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Hong Zhao saw that there was no signature on the envelope, presumably she didn't want anyone with a heart to know.

"This letter will be forwarded to General Chen Zhen for me."

Hong Zhao picked up the letter pushed by the county lord, got up, and locked it in the cabinet, "Don't worry, the county lord will definitely do it." ”

When Hongzhao returned, he saw the county lord finish the last cup of tea he had poured for her, and then she got up.

"It's not too early, I'll go first, and besides, I have to be careful when I'm away. Take care. ”

Hong Zhao accompanied the county lord downstairs, and in front of the Qingwen Pavilion, Hong Zhao reluctantly sent the county lord out of the Qingwen Pavilion.

After the county lord left the Qingwen Pavilion, he passed through the lively street market and came to the Yipinlou.

Yipinlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, who is in charge behind the scenes, the county lord has not yet found out, and her intuition tells her that this person must not be simple.

As soon as the county lord stepped into the Yipinlou with his front foot, a guy came out to greet him with his back foot, "This guest officer, what do you want to do?" ”

Seeing the guy's grinning face, the county lord said, "Is there a private room upstairs?" ”

When the man heard this, he knew that the guest in front of him was either rich or noble, so he replied more enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, please come with me." ”

The county lord followed the fellow upstairs and entered a beautifully furnished room, "Is the guest going to serve the food now or later?" ”

Although the county lord has not come to Yipinlou many times, she still knows some of the rules of Yipin. The private rooms upstairs are the most popular specialties in the restaurant, nine in duplicate, the dishes are exquisite, and of course the price is expensive.

However, the best part is that you can stay in the private room upstairs for the whole day, and the time of the meal is at the discretion of the customer.

"After half a pillar of incense."

"Okay, if the guest officer needs to order at any time, the guest officer will please."

With the guest's permission, the guy went downstairs to get busy.

At this time, a dark shadow appeared in the room, "County Lord." ”

"Everything is done?"

"Back to the county lord, it's all done, Miss Li is out of the house, and she will be there soon."

Seeing that Qing Xuan was so efficient and neat, the county lord was very pleased.

"Qingxuan, how long have you been with the county lord?"

Hearing the county lord ask like this, Qing Xuan was very puzzled, "It's been nearly ten years. ”

It's been so long? The county lord looked at the cold man in front of him and said, "The county lord will go on a long trip and come back in a year, and I will leave the dark guard camp under your management, okay?" ”

Qing Xuan was moved in his heart, this was the county lord's great trust in him, "Yes, county lord, his subordinates will live up to the county lord's expectations." ”

The county lord patted Qing Xuan's shoulder, "Okay, worthy of being the county lord's person." ”

"Before I go, there's one more thing to find out."

Qing Xuan immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"You go and check if the letter in Qin Cai's hand this morning is General Chen's handwriting? If so, find out the person who stole the letter and interrogate him secretly; If not, find the person who guarded the trail and make him disappear forever. ”

"Yes. Subordinates obeyed. ”

"And? After I leave, find a way to ruin Qin Cai's reputation. ”

The people on Li Shangshu's side can't stay.

"Yes, County Lord."

Seeing that Qing Xuan had an expressionless appearance from beginning to end, the county lord thought to himself, this guy won't learn from me. However, it's okay this way, as the commander of the dark guard, you won't be easily picked up by others if you can't see any expression.

After the county lord finished explaining, he saw that Qing Xuan was still standing upright here, which was not at all like his usual style. On a normal day, this ice block would have traveled 108,000 miles.

The county lord embarrassedly "coughed" twice, "That's all I have to explain." ”

"Well, my subordinates know. County Lord, take care. After saying the last sentence, Qing Xuan disappeared in front of him.

Not long after Qing Xuan left, there was a knock on the door with a "knock knock", "Guest officer, the meal is ready." ”

"Come in."

Then, the door opened, and the man was followed by several Xiao Si with food, and they walked in together.

The guy said with a smile while serving the food: "Guest officer, these are the signature dishes of our restaurant today, to ensure that the guest officer is satisfied." ”

After the food was served, the guy went out with a few more Xiao Si.

The county lord calculated the time, and estimated that Li Ruofei should also arrive at this time, so she looked down through the window, and sure enough, she saw Li Ruofei get out of the carriage and walked into the first building.
