Chapter 992: Fear of Guilt
As Xie Jingchen guessed, the person who invited him was the prince of the protectorate.
The status of the prince of Huguo in Nanliang was even greater than that of the prince of Chongguo in Daqi.
The Duke of Huguo and the Emperor of Southern Liang were cousins.
The Duchess of Huguo and the Empress of Nanliang are sisters.
For the prince of Huguo, he has a cousin who is the emperor of Nanliang, and a cousin who is the prince of Nanliang.
With such an identity, no one dared to say anything when walking sideways in Nanliang.
But the Hou Shizi of Changning is an exception.
The younger sister of the Marquis of Changning was married to the prince of Nanliang by the Emperor of Southern Liang two years ago.
It's a pity that he died of miscarriage and hemorrhage within half a year of marriage.
For Dong Chenglang, the prince of Beining, the prince of Nanliang was his brother-in-law.
General Shi was loyal to the Southern Liang court, twenty years ago, General Shi died to save the first emperor of the Southern Liang, and the first emperor gave a piece of Danshu iron coupons to the Shi family, and it was precisely because of the Danshu iron coupons in his hand that the protector wanted to rob the military power in the hands of General Shi.
This time, the grain and grass in Nanliang were burned, and a city was lost, which gave the protector an opportunity.
Although Xie Jingchen did this to help Daqi, so far, it seems that everyone except General Shi is quite satisfied with this matter.
Needless to say, Daqi hit Nanliang hard, the morale of the generals was great, and the crisis of food shortage was alleviated.
Dong Chenglang hoped that the grain and grass would be burned, and his uncle General Shi Da and the imperial court would be centrifuged, so as to fall to Zhao Xu.
The Protector even wanted to take advantage of the damage to General Shi's military prestige to seize his military power.
…… But Xie Jingchen didn't want to see the prince of the country in Hualou.
Standing in front of the flower building, Xie Jingchen's brows tightened, and the feeling of entering the flower building was really not good.
arrested his daughter-in-law and punched his brother-in-law.
Seeing him stop, the little guy said, "Please." ”
After Xie Jingchen took two steps forward, he stopped, "I won't go in." ”
The little guy was stunned, "My family is inside." ”
"I know," Xie Jingchen said.
"But I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will beat me to death if she finds out that I visit the flower building."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"......." ”
The little guy just watched Xie Jingchen walk away.
Although Xie Jingchen didn't go to see his master, he didn't complete the task, but he wasn't angry at all, and even had a little sympathy in his heart.
How can there be a man who doesn't visit the flower house?
It's really rare to be afraid of being like this.
The little guy turned around and entered the flower building.
In the flower building, the warbler sings and dances, and the fat powder smells smoky.
On the second floor, the best location, the prince of the country sits and hugs left and right.
A beauty fed the prince of the country a glass of wine, he kissed the beauty, and the beauty was ashamed, "I hate it." ”
"Do you really hate me that much?" The prince of the protector said with a smile.
"Shizi Ye is really annoying," the soft-voiced man's bones were a little softer, and he stuffed fruit into his mouth.
The little servant stepped forward and called, "Lord Shizi." ”
The prince of the protectorate glanced at him, "What about people?" ”
There was still a man sitting next to the prince of the protectorate, drinking and saying, "It won't be that you don't give face, right?" ”
The little guy doesn't know if it's a loss of face.
Let's say not to give face, people have no objection to coming to see the prince.
Let's save face, people didn't come in.
The little guy said truthfully, "Knowing that the prince invited him, he went out with the little one, but stopped in front of the flower building, saying that he was afraid that he would enter the flower building and be known by his daughter-in-law, and he would beat him to death, so he left ...... after speaking." ”
Ahem!
The man choked.
"In the restaurant, he stood up to protect the prince of Ning Hou, I thought he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect to be afraid of inside," the man couldn't believe it.
But it's rare to help someone else.
The woman crooked in the arms of the prince of the protector also smiled, "What can a man who is afraid of guilt do?" ”
The prince of the protector held her hand and said, "The man in your mouth who is afraid of guilt has saved the prince of Changning Hou three times on the battlefield. ”
"One of them was saved under the command of Shangguan Ting, a major general of the Great Qi Flying Tiger Army."
The woman gasped, "So powerful? ”
She was a little envious of his daughter-in-law.
I don't know what kind of woman can make such a powerful man afraid that she won't dare to enter the flower building if she is angry.
"I don't know if I'm really afraid of guilt or if I'm prevaricating this son?" The eyes of the prince of the protector are dangerous.
The man smiled, "Whether it's fear of guilt or prevarication, you'll know if you try, I hope he is smarter and doesn't make enemies of us!" ”
Today's interest is strong, and he won't move the land just to see Xie Jingchen.
Temptations are left for tomorrow.
They were testing Xie Jingchen, and Xie Jingchen was also testing them.
He also wanted to see what he said casually in the restaurant, how much the prince wanted to win him over.
Back at the inn, Xie Jingchen painted a portrait of Aunt Xue, and Yi Rong jumped out of the window.
I found the place that was best at inquiring about news, and asked someone to help me find it.
I didn't have a secret guard by my side, so I had to do everything myself.
The young man took the money, opened the portrait, first amazed the beauty of the person in the painting, and then sighed, "Why is she again?" ”
Again?
Xie Jingchen looked at the young man.
The young man smiled, "Two months ago, someone also brought a painting to ask us to find someone, and it was the girl in the painting who was looking for it, but that painting was not as good as yours." ”
"This woman currently lives in a courtyard in the south of the city, which faces the lake and has a very beautiful scenery."
Xie Jingchen thanked him, turned around and left, and the young man was a little embarrassed to see that he didn't ask for some of the money back.
for he received two hundred taels.
The young man called out to Xie Jingchen and said, "Childe's money, the shop is easy to earn, I advise Childe, the girl in this painting is not what you can think." ”
Xie Jingchen, "....... ”
"Why?" Xie Jingchen said.
"That annex belongs to the current prince."
Aunt Xue is the person of the Prince of Nanliang.
Xie Jingchen was not surprised by this news, he said, "I don't know if another portrait of someone looking for someone can be in the shop?" ”
The young man looked embarrassed.
Looking at his expression, Xie Jingchen knew that the portrait was really there, but he couldn't show it to others casually.
Xie Jingchen took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the counter, and the young man was easy to speak, "Wait a minute, guest officer, I'll find it for you." ”
What a rich man.
I have a portrait, and I actually pay ten taels of silver to see the paintings painted by others.
The young man found half a cup of tea and found the painting.
Xie Jingchen glanced at it a few times.
Sure enough, as he guessed, it was the handwriting of the third master.
The third master disappeared, and Xie Jingchen wondered if he had come to Nanliang.
Aunt Xue used him to steal the defense map, and after the matter was completed, she unloaded the mill and killed the donkey and abolished him, this tone, no one can bear it.
It's just that how can he be the opponent of Prince Nanliang alone?
I knew Aunt Xue's whereabouts two months ago, and I don't know if she is still alive at this time.
Xie Jingchen planned to go to the other courtyard at night to investigate, although the third master deserved it, but after all, he was from the Zhennan Palace.
The third lord was abolished, and the Zhennan Mansion became the laughing stock of Kyoto.
It's just that things can't catch up with the plan, Xie Jingchen returned to the inn on the front foot, and someone from the Changning Marquis Mansion came on the back foot.
Mrs. Changning Hou blamed her son for treating his benefactor slowly, when he first came to Kyoto, he was not familiar with the place, and it was when he needed to go shopping and let people lead the way, but he wasted time by wandering around by himself.
Mrs. Changning Hou sent someone to invite, what could Xie Jingchen do, he could only move to Changning Hou's Mansion to live.
The Marquis of Changning's mansion was warm, Xie Jingchen was a little overwhelmed, and under the pretext that he was too strong to drink, he drank a few glasses of wine, and was helped down by the little guy to rest.
Early the next morning, Xie Jingchen left something at the inn under the pretext of leaving something at the inn and went to the inn to pick it up.
As soon as he arrived at the inn, the little servant who invited him yesterday came again, and he said, "Don't worry, my family is not in Hualou this time." ”
Xie Jingchen, "....... ”
