King Ning turned around and waved his hand to the prince, signaling that he didn't have to follow, so he got off the Danqi and went straight forward, casually asking the steward: "How many people know about his coming?" ”

"Back to the prince, Marquis Anping came from the side door in disguise, and no one saw it, and now only you, the prince and the old slave know. Even if others saw him, he wouldn't recognize it, the old slave arranged the person in your small study in the outer courtyard, and this person was eating tea. ”

"Very good." The backs of King Ning and the steward disappeared around the corner.

Prince Ning knew that he couldn't interfere in this matter, he just needed to keep his mouth shut.

Qin Huaiyuan's relationship with King Ning was not close in the past, but they were just going their own way. Is it this time or Qin Huaiyuan who took the initiative to visit.

When King Ning arrived at the small study, Qin Huaiyuan had already sat on the circle chair and ate half a cup of tea.

Seeing Ning coming and going, Qin Huaiyuan stood up and saluted: "See the prince." ”

"No courtesy." King Ning swept his eyes and saw the delicate gift box on the table, as well as a half-human tall colorful coral bonsai on the ground.

casually opened the lid of the gift box, and it was Yan Zhenqing's law slip inside!

This kind of genuine work is hard to buy now, and Qin Huaiyuan is willing to give it away!

A fire rose in King Ning's heart, and he squinted at Qin Huaiyuan with disdain, sat upright in the first place, and said coldly: "These things are too valuable." ”

Qin Huaiyuan saw King Ning's contempt for him, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled and said, "Are you okay with this Yan Zhenqing's Fa Ti? Can the coral still shine? ”

King Ning's disdain was even worse, secretly thinking that Qin Huaiyuan had come to give his daughter such a valuable gift, thinking that he didn't want to have anything to do with him, and he didn't want to offend the queen because he was implicated with him!

Is this also called a man?

The pants that were bullied by the Cao family were about to be ripped off, and this cowardly bag didn't dare to compete with it!

Yu Gong, the Cao family is the scum who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

Yu Private, Cao Guozhang persecuted the Qin family, and the demon queen once wanted to eat the meat of the Qin family's daughter.

With such a deep hatred, can you still endure it, and you can still give gifts with a shy face to dissociate yourself from him?

The fire in King Ning's heart seemed to be poured with hot oil, and he suddenly ignited, slapped the table with his big hand, got up angrily, and said angrily:

"The Marquis of Anping is a pillar of the court, and this king thought that you were also a hero, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, and you became attached to the flames in order to survive! So what kind of good thing is the Cao family? They all trampled you under their feet, and you still think that nothing can happen to you? What's the matter, I'm afraid that this king will tire you? Asking the maid next to your daughter's side to come to see the princess will scare you and paralyze you? Qin Meng, are you also a man? I think you're a coward! ”

King Ning was already holding his stomach for a while today, seeing such a valuable two gifts, and then looking at Qin Huaiyuan's elegant appearance with a smile after being scolded, he was even more angry, and it was not enough to scold him with his head and face, he pointed at Qin Huaiyuan's nose and counted it down, greeted the female elders of the Qin family, and greeted the ancestors of the Qin family, and then threw the person out.

Qin Huaiyuan sat elegantly on the circle chair and watched King Ning go crazy, his eyes seemed to be looking at an impulsive child.

Until King Ning's mouth was dry, Qin Huaiyuan handed over a cup of tea in a timely manner.

King Ning was so angry that he almost dropped the tea bowl.

"Lord Wang, stop your anger." Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

King Ning seemed to have swung his fist on the cotton, how could he encounter such a piece of hob meat!

Qin Huaiyuan said softly: "The prince is angry, rest for a while, and listen to me." These two gifts are not meant to be given to you. ”

King Ning's hand shook when he heard this, he almost dropped the tea bowl, his face suddenly turned red, and he asked awkwardly: "Isn't it for this king?" Aren't you here for your daughter? ”

"The prince has misunderstood." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and turned the page of the precious law book, "Could it be that the prince has forgotten, what does Cao Guozhang love?" ”

King Ning reacted and muttered, "That old guy loves calligraphy, and his handwriting is not bad." ”

"yes." Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "These two things are what they like, I brought them to the prince, and I asked the prince to take them to Cao Guozhang for compensation." ”

When King Ning heard this, he felt a little angry in his heart.

But he learned a lesson and did not attack immediately, but said seriously: "What does Anpinghou mean?" ”

"The prince also knows that now the three-way army plus the soldiers and horses of the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, the Shenji battalion and the Gyeonggi battalion, now 350,000 soldiers have gathered outside the city without a leader, and the handsome seal is hanging in the air. Xiao Zhixi's 100,000 tiger army was entrenched in Xihua City, and it was at odds with Kyoto City. With so many soldiers and horses, it is naturally impossible to fight separately, and to defend Kyoto, a commander is necessary, who will be in charge of this handsome seal, but the emperor has not chosen a candidate for a long time. ”

King Ning sneered: "Isn't the imperial brother counting on the Tatars to send troops?" ”

"The problem is that now there is no hope for Tatars. As far as I know, the Tatar princess raised her younger brother as the new khan, and she and the concubine regents to govern the Tatars together, but the original Tatar ministers did not accept it, and the little khans did not submit to her rule, and their country was in chaos, and it was impossible to send troops. And if the mountains are high and the roads are far away, what is the use of them sending troops? Sooner or later, the emperor will see this clearly. ”

King Ning nodded when he saw that Qin Huaiyuan had the same Tatar news he had gotten.

Qin Huaiyuan said: "The emperor's refusal to decide on the choice of commander is also a dilemma. Now Cao Guozhang has become a Taishi again, although the contact with Tatar is unsuccessful, the emperor does not need to toss the candidates for this Taishi, Cao Guozhang has participated in court affairs after his recovery, and the emperor will never hand over the military power to Cao Guozhang. ”

"And you are not trusted by the emperor now." Ning Wang said.

"yes, so the handsome seal won't be handed over to me. The candidate to be chosen by the emperor must be someone he can control and who has enough prestige to command an army of 350,000. However, we should also note that although Cao Guozhang does not have the right to be elected, he has the right to veto, if the emperor chooses someone, Cao Guozhang will only blindly oppose it, and the emperor may have to compromise......"

The words have been said so clearly, even if Qin Huai is far away from saying the following words, King Ning will also understand.

"So you're asking me to curry favor with Cao Guozhang?"

"It's not flattering. The art of war is also treacherous, and the prince is a hero on the battlefield, so naturally I don't need to say more. What's more, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, at this time, it is just to give a gift, pay a loss, show goodwill, let Cao Guozhang relax his vigilance against you, and let him feel that you can be controlled by him, then the handsome seal tiger talisman of the 350,000 army will be in your hands. ”

Qin Huaiyuan stood up when he said this, bowed to King Ning, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, now that the country is not a country, looking at our Dayan Dynasty, the person who can lead the soldiers and horses to defend Kyoto and give it a go with Xiao Zhixi is none other than you." If the handsome seal falls into the hands of the group of fools under Cao Guozhang, the Great Yan Dynasty will really be over. Therefore, in public and private, I ask the prince to come out. ”

King Ning looked at Qin Huaiyuan's sincere face, and his previous misunderstanding of Qin Huaiyuan vanished.

Where is this guy a soft egg?

He's a really strong man!

And he has nothing to miss, and he really lives up to the name of "Zhi Pan'an"!

Thinking that Fang Cai actually pointed at other people's noses and scolded people to the point that he was incomplete, and even his ancestors were greeted by him, King Ning's face was hot, and he coughed very indistinctly, got up and saluted: "It's just that this king is reckless, and Anping Hou must not take it to heart." ”

"I can understand the anger of the prince. If it were me, I would be angry. Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan didn't mind, King Ning was also relieved, so he put away the fateh, nodded and said, "Okay, this king understands what you mean." It's just that this king has another question for you. ”

"Lord Wang, please speak." Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

King Ning said: "Today's matter, you and the lady of your mansion set up a bureau for this king to drill, right?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan sneered when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "The prince is too worried." I just heard that you invited Miss Tang to come, and the princess was killed by the queen, so I came here with something temporarily. ”

King Ning smiled and nodded, and did not pursue it anymore.

At this point, it doesn't matter to him whether he is setting up a situation or a coincidence.

Because King Ning saw hope.

As long as he has military power in his hands, he no longer has to be idle, and he can do more, at least for the country.

%

Qin Yining didn't know that Qin Huai had gone to King Ning's Mansion, and Qin Huaiyuan didn't ask Qin Yining about anything outside in the future.

Bingtang stayed in King Ning's Mansion to see a doctor for the princess, and Qin Yining only lived his own life with Jiyun, Songlan and Qiulu.

On the surface, the days are calm. But in fact, Qin Yining felt that this was the tranquility before the mountain rain came, and her heart was hanging, not knowing what would happen to the Cao family, whether they would continue to persecute the Qin family, and she was not sure whether the contradiction between King Ning and the Cao family would let King Ning help the Qin family.

She has done everything she can do, and now she is left to fate.

But the next night, she listened to the words sent by the shopkeeper Zhong, and after learning that King Ning actually went to Cao's house to apologize, Qin Yining immediately felt half cold.

It seems that King Ning is also afraid of the imperial power and the power of the Cao family in the end.

At this juncture, it is indeed not a good choice to match Mai Mang with the Cao family, and Prince Ning can be regarded as able to bend and stretch.

But what about their family?

Qin Yining couldn't sleep that night, lying in the mosquito net and holding the fan under the fan, I don't know if it was because of irritability, or if it was really hot in the summer, Qin Yining turned over and over like a pancake, and only when he tossed it was a little sleepy.

Just as she was falling asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of a gong ringing outside.

Qin Yining opened his eyes and heard someone shouting: "It's water!" Walk the water! ”

Qin Yining's heart jumped, and he hurriedly got off the ground and walked to the terrace outside the attic.

At this time, the girls and servants who lived in Shuorenzhai also woke up, and they all gathered on the terrace and the window to look out.

I saw the direction of Xingning Garden, and it was already a fire.

"Fourth sister, this, what's going on! Those yards are no longer inhabited, how can they walk in the water?! Miss Eight took Qin Yining's hand and said incredulously.
