Chapter 62: Chinese New Year's Eve

In the dark and secluded alley, Li Muqing dragged Chunhong like a headless fly, although she was scared, she still refused to leave.

"I just saw him enter this alley, why did he turn around and disappear? Where the hell did it go? Li Muqing's voice trembled a little in the dark night.

"Miss, why don't we go back, it's dark and quiet here, and there are no people, it's weird!" Chunhong swallowed her saliva and whispered a proposal.

"No, didn't you see Fang Cai Zhao Qianrou with him? She must not want to marry Sima Zhao, so she came to seduce Ning Jun! Today, I must talk to Ning Jun, lest he fall for Zhao Qianrou's trick! Li Muqing shook her head and gritted her teeth and said.

"Miss, I think you're eating it!" Chunhong quipped with a smile.

"Okay, Chunhong, you dare to make fun of me, come home in a while and see how I clean you up!" Li Muqing raised her chin and reprimanded angrily with a straight face.

"Miss spare her life~ The slave doesn't dare anymore!" Chunhong smiled and begged for mercy.

For a while, the fear in the hearts of the two of them was dispelled a lot.

The master and servant over there were still looking for it unremittingly, and Xu Mengmeng in the courtyard here was already sitting at the table with Sima Xi drinking tea and chatting.

The person Sima Xi came to see this time is called Lin Chongda, who is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, in his thirties, quite talented, although not as good as Zhao Jingyuan's Confucian name, but he is also a little famous among the scholars, because of the poem at the palace banquet, he is quite polite to Xu Mengmeng.

"I don't know what General Ning wants to do with this business?" Lin Chongda took a sip of hot tea and asked lightly.

"Ning Mou has not long entered the court, and he is not good at socializing on weekdays, so there is nothing to use except for a group of reckless men in the military camp, so what Ning can provide to everyone is just troops, and what I want is simple, that is, to give an explanation to the two thousand brothers who died in vain.

In fact, speaking of this deal, His Royal Highness only makes money and does not lose money, after all, now the crown prince and the third prince have no chance to take the throne, and the other princes are still young, whether Your Highness fights or not, the person of the seventh prince will not let you go, so in the final analysis, you also have to deal with him! ”

Xu Mengmeng looked at the teacup in his hand and said in a calm tone.

"I really have no way out, but the seventh brother is now powerful, and I have a bit of a taste of hitting a stone with an egg, General Ning chooses me, isn't he afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?" Although he had already been a little honest about Ning Jun's investment in his heart, Sima Xi still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"This highness doesn't have to worry, Ning is not a brainless person, and the choice of you is naturally after some careful consideration. As the saying goes, 'the gun shoots the first bird', the Seven Princes are powerful, but don't forget that there is an emperor above him.

You and I know what kind of person our emperor is, can he let the Seven Princes continue to be strong? I'm afraid that it won't be long before he starts to weaken his power, and maybe he will vigorously support Your Highness at that time! Xu Mengmeng picked up the teacup and pecked it carefully.

"General Ning is right!" Lin Chongda's eyes were full of appreciation, this Ning Jun is really not an ordinary person!

"Lord Lin praised it falsely, if Ning's expectation is good, you should talk about your plan first in the idea of the Spring Festival in February! Ning also thought about it and saw if he could help a little! ”

Xu Mengmeng has heard a lot of good and bad words in the past few months, and she can already stop her heart, and what she wants to know most now is what talents are under the hands of these five princes.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was also a holiday in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and several people from the 12 horsemen stayed in the general's mansion during the day, and after dinner, they went out to the streets to see the excitement.

It's not that he doesn't want to follow his own young lady, but he knows that his actions tonight can't be eye-catching, so he has to give up, but it's still rare to hang out with his brother like this.

"Jinchen, look there, Second Miss Zhao Family!" Speaking of which, he was still sharp-eyed, and at a glance he saw Zhao Yuling in the crowd with a maid on the street.

"Hmm" Jinchen touched his nose and nodded uncomfortably, the tips of his ears slightly reddened.

"Aren't you going up up and saying hello?" Glimpse asked curiously, eating chestnuts.

"No," Jinchen shook his head.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid of scaring her, now everyone says that the general is the 'silver-faced Hades', I am the general's subordinate, and I guess the world will not think that I am a good person! Let's go! Jinchen sighed, tugged at the sleeve of the glimpse and wanted to leave.

"Jin Gongzi" Zhao Yuling felt that his father valued him, and he became more and more determined to do something for his father.

"Miss Zhao" was discovered, and Jinchen had no choice but to turn around and say hello.

"Why is Jin Gongzi hiding from the little girl, but what did I do to make you unhappy?" Zhao Yuling stared at Jinchen with round eyes, with incomprehension and innocence in his eyes, and looked a little aggrieved, and Jinchen's heart softened suddenly.

"No, it's just that rumors have been spreading in Beijing recently, aren't you afraid of me?" After saying this, Jinchen stared at Zhao Yuling's eyes, but there was nothing but innocence in those eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I know you're a good person!" The corners of Zhao Yuling's mouth were slightly hooked, and she smiled gently and sincerely.

At this time, she didn't understand that it was such a simple sentence that made Jinchen take it to heart, and even miss her to death in the future.

The excitement on the street could not affect the few people in the small courtyard, the tea was still hot and sweet, but the atmosphere was different from the previous tense and serious, but relaxed a lot.

"We do have some plans, a few months ago, by chance, I rescued a Jingzhong Shizi named An Qingyuan, and after some contact, I found that although he is not well-known in Jingzhong Shizi, he is very talented and learned, and the most important thing is that he has an enmity with Zhu Ping." Lin Chongda's attitude was much softer.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! "With Xu Mengmeng's understanding of Zhu Ping, he is not a generous person, and he can let go of a person who has an enmity with him, no matter how you look at it, this matter is hanging.

"In fact, strictly speaking, it is not that there is an enmity with Zhu Ping, but with Zhu Ping's dead son.

An Qingyuan's family is poor, and he has been dependent on his sister who is two years younger than him, his sister was born beautiful and skillful, and was favored by Zhu Tianrui in the three evils of the capital, and committed suicide by hitting the wall under the humiliation, Zhu Tianrui also took someone to beat An Qingyuan, he fainted on the way to the hospital, and fortunately I bumped into him to pick up a life! Lin Chongda explained carefully, his face full of sighs.

"In this way, it is impossible for him to enter the camp of the Seven Princes, what about the other princes?" Although Xu Mengmeng judged from Lin Chongda's tone that this person was not low, it would be too big to bet on him alone.

"I've also come into contact with other talented people, but they are either famous, or they are talented but arrogant, or they are people with complex backgrounds." Lin Chongda shook his head.

"In this way, we still have to use some means to push this An Qingyuan up! Then do you know who is the person from the Seventh Prince's side, make a list with me! Xu Mengmeng made a decision after thinking about it.

"I wonder what General Ning is going to do?" Sima Xi asked curiously.

"This matter will be decided after I first investigate those people in private, and for now, you can cultivate this person named An Qingyuan!" Although Xu Mengmeng has some ideas in his heart, he will not blindly implement them, after all, it is not easy to study hard for ten years.
