From Yidu to Nan'an, if you take the waterway and the wind is good, it will be there in ten days and half a month.

Just entered May, the Tang family and his party returned to Kyoto.

It's been a long journey, so you don't need to mention it.

Ming Wei only glanced at the market in the sedan chair, and then entered the Daiguo Mansion.

After that, he was thrown in a small hall and waited for a long time before he saw Tang Shao coming over with a tired face.

"Miss Ming Qi, come with me."

Seeing that the situation was not right, the snow parrot hurriedly asked, "Second son, do you want to go with the slave and maid?" ”

Tang Shao shook his head: "You guys are waiting for news here." ”

The snow parrot had to say more, and was pulled by the petrel.

After Mingwei and Tang Shao left, Haiyan said: "Don't forget, let's follow Miss Mingqi, not only to serve her, but also to monitor her, and you are still taking her as your master?" ”

The snow parrot was deflated: "I know, it's just that people are not plants and trees, and after getting along these days, there are always feelings." What's more, Miss Ming Qi is not bad......"

Haiyan was silent. What's more, these days with her, I have learned a lot of things, and the martial arts that have not been advanced for a long time have been loosened, and maybe I can go to the next level.

People in the rivers and lakes pay attention to a lineage, and without the status of master and apprentice, they will not teach the exercises. I was grateful to be able to get two words of advice from others, not to mention that Miss Ming Qi corrected the mistakes and omissions of her exercises one by one.

It's just that these words are not easy for Haiyan to say.

She is the maid of the Tang family, how can she speak for others.

However, this did not prevent her from praying for Mingwei in her heart, hoping that she would be safe with the Tang family.

Ming Wei followed behind Tang Shao, walked for a while, and entered a small hall.

After a while, someone came.

This man was forty or fifty years old, tall and resolute.

He was wearing regular clothes, but he had a fierce atmosphere.

Ming Wei got up and watched Tang Shao come forward to salute, calling him father, knowing that this was Tang Jing, the acting prince of the country.

As soon as Tang Jing sat down, his sharp gaze swept towards Mingwei.

After a while, he spoke: "Miss Ming Qi? ”

Mingwei replied, "Yes." ”

"I heard that you were robbed by Xiuyi?"

Mingwei nodded.

"However, Erlang also said that you are proficient in occult arts, and you can be called a master. In this case, how could Xiuyi be robbed of Chu State? ”

Mingwei replied: "Tigers also have times to nap. To tell you the truth, I had only fought with someone else at that time, and I was seriously injured, so I was taken advantage of by Miss Xiuyi. ”

Tang Jing nodded and said, "Xiuyi's handling of this matter is improper, she should kill you directly while you are injured." ”

Mingwei echoed: "Who said it wasn't? Miss Xiuyi is still too kind-hearted in the end. ”

Tang Shao glanced at her and didn't speak.

What a good heart, it's really a lie with open eyes. Xiuyi clearly wanted to torture her at that time, so as to save her life.

Tang Jing continued to ask: "Now that you have recovered from your injuries, when you are on the ship, you are fully capable of leaving, why did you follow you all the way to Nan'an?" ”

Mingwei set her eyes on Tang Shao: "The little girl thinks that the second son has already made it clear." ”

Tang Jingjiong's eyes stared at her: "The old man wants to hear you say it in person." ”

Ming smiled and nodded, and said very frankly: "Miss Ling is my enemy, and the second son is her target, so I want to stay with the second son and wait for her to come to the door." ”

Tang Jing narrowed his eyes: "But that Miss Ling is not the enemy of the Tang family. According to what she said, she wants to help Erlang succeed, why should we keep you down to be her enemy? ”

"Because what she wants to do may not be in the interests of the Tang family."

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

Ming looked at him with a smile: "Grandpa Guo should know it in his heart, otherwise why would he see the little girl?" After saying this, she patiently explained, "What Miss Ling wants is someone who can help her achieve her goals." The star palace where she is located is the main body, and the people she chooses must be attached to them. Therefore, she designed to frame the second son, hoping that the second son would break with the Tang family and no longer be restrained by the Tang family. This is completely contrary to the interests of the Tang family, and the family is in the first place, not the individual. Therefore, I have the confidence to come to Nan'an. ”

Tang Jing said lightly: "Even so, you are also a dangerous person. How can you see that the old man will keep you? ”

Mingwei said: "Because at the moment we have the same interests. ”

"Oh?"

Ming smiled and said: "I am a Qi person, and because of this, there will be no bias towards the affairs of your Chu State." Whether you are loyal to the Tang family or disloyal, it has nothing to do with me, as long as you have a common purpose, Grandpa Guo doesn't have to worry about me throwing myself to others. ”

Everyone knows who this person refers to.

"What's more, the king of Yue who I serve can't even touch the edge of the throne, isn't it too early to talk about the confrontation between the two countries now? If I make a move against the Tang family because of this, wouldn't it be an increase in political achievements for that person? ”

She looked at Tang Shao: "In fact, the second son's plan to sow discord has helped us a lot. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be so easy to bring down the second prince. At that time, we discussed whether to push the boat down the river and help you. In the end, because our strength was too weak, and we still needed the emperor to reign, we intervened to stop it. It can be seen that although we are an enemy country, we may not be unable to share common interests. ”

To put it bluntly, the interests of the state and the individual are not completely aligned.

In order to win the internal struggle, make peace with the enemy country, and even cede the country, there are many times in history.

If he didn't know this in his heart, how could Tang Jing come to see her on purpose?

After listening to her, Tang Jing was silent for a long time, and after drinking all the cups of tea, he asked, "Can Miss Ming Qi represent King Yue?" ”

Mingwei nodded confidently: "The second son should have gone to Northern Qi to find out the news, right?" Is King Yue looking for me? ”

Tang Shao nodded slowly: "The news of Miss Ming Qi's disappearance has not been leaked. However, it is rumored that the Yue Wangfu lost a maid, and His Royal Highness the Yue King went crazy, and he played it repeatedly, and wanted to leave Beijing to find it in person. ”

Ming Wei said: "I'm here, the second son can give it a try, whether they value me or not." ”

Tang Shao didn't answer, only raised his eyes and touched his father.

Tang Jing nodded: "Miss Ming Qi has worked hard all the way, let's go rest first." ”

Mingwei got up and saluted, without half a nonsense: "The little girl retired." ”

After she left, Tang Jing asked the second son: "You know more about the affairs of Northern Qi, what do you think?" ”

Tang Shao pondered: "What she said is not unreasonable. Qi and Chu are now balanced in national strength, but they are at peace with each other. My son's previous plan was a long-term solution. Aside from this, we have no substantive conflict with the king of Northern Qi Yue. ”

Tang Jing nodded.

Tang Shao said again: "It's just that the king of Yue is not incompetent, if he is really allowed to take the throne, it will not be a good thing for the Chu State." ”

Tang Jing disagreed: "The Emperor of Northern Qi is still alive, and the name of the King of Yue is not right, and he wants the throne, so it's early!" We don't care about the rest of the matter. ”

Tang Shao understood.

If you can use it now, then use it first, and then talk about it later.

Before he retreated, Tang Jing stopped him again: "Erlang." ”

Tang Shao stopped: "Father." ”

Tang Jing looked at him with a gaze that seemed to point: "Although Miss Ling and the Tang family have different interests, it is you who she wants to support, you won't be tempted, right?" ”

Tang Shao met his gaze and replied calmly: "They meddle too much, and they want to make some achievements, but they are not interested in being puppets." ”
