Chapter 8: Temptation

Linghu sent someone to send a prayer post to the county order, of course, the worship post was not for Hu County. Hu County's order is not enough to receive his prayers.

In the evening, Ling Huyuan received a reply, and Wei asked him to come over to the house. Linghu Yuan instructed Qingfeng and Qingmo, and took Fujiu to the county mansion. The county government prepared a sumptuous banquet, and after three rounds of wine, it finally got to the point.

"I don't know if the general is coming, is there anything important?" Hu Xianling, who was accompanied, stood up as he spoke, holding a wine jug and shaking his chubby hands, and poured wine for Ling Huyuan.

Ling Hu Yuan didn't look at him, and looked at Wei Xuan with a light smile: "It's nothing important, I just heard that the second son said that there is news about the maid in my house to inform me, so come and listen." ”

Wei Xuan raised his glass and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, Miss Ruyi is safe now, but I plan to go back to the capital in two days to visit Commander Linghuda, does the general have a letter to take back?" ”

Ling Huyuan smiled and picked up his wine glass and said, "Then there is the second son of Lao." Then he raised his glass and drank it all.

Until the banquet ended, Wei Xuan didn't mention Ruyi anymore, deliberately avoiding this topic. Ling Huyuan wondered in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wei Xuan's gourd.

Back in the house, Qingfeng and Qingmo were already waiting in the study. The two reported in detail the situation in the prefectural office. It turned out that the two took advantage of the banquet to probe the county government, but did not find Ruyi.

Ling Huyuan frowned and looked at the thick night outside the window, he had just found someone, and now he was gone, obviously Wei Xuan didn't tell the truth, but he had no other way for the time being, so he had to write a so-called "family letter" and hand it to Qingmo, "You send it to the second son tomorrow." Then send some people over to closely monitor the prefectural government. ”

Qingmo took the letter and asked hesitantly, "General, are you really going to help the second son?" Qingfeng glanced at Qingmo and told him not to ask.

Ling Huyuan looked at Qingmo and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qingmo thought for a moment and replied: "With the current situation, the eldest prince has a greater grasp, and the queen's sister-in-law is justified." But the second son has good means, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make a bad move. ”

Ling Huyuan said hatefully: "He has already made a yin move, and he has also reached Ruyi's head, even if a person with such a dark temperament becomes a king, what kind of good lord can he be?" ”

Qingmo nodded, "Subordinates understand." ”

Ling Huyuan turned his eyes to Qingfeng and said, "What's the news from the capital?" ”

"Back to the general, the king seems to be sick. Several scholars and doctors moved frequently, and people from all walks of life were secretly assembling. Recently, South Korea and Zhao have also been in secret contact. Qingfeng finished reporting in an orderly manner.

Ling Huyuan frowned and thought for a while and said, "Qingfeng, you send a message to your father, just say that about the marriage between me and Ruyi that I said in my letter a few days ago, let it go for the time being." Tell your father to be careful. ”

"Yes." Aomine said dryly.

"Go down and get some rest, all of you."

Qingfeng hesitated: "General..."

Ling Huyuan waved his hand a little tiredly, "Don't worry, I will be safe recently, at least the second son will ensure my safety." Now the palace must be surrounded by his people. ”

Qingfeng also understood that it was indeed as the general said, so he didn't insist anymore, and the two brothers retreated one after another.

Walking into the courtyard, Qingmo asked Qingfeng puzzled: "Brother, why didn't you let me ask the general just now." ”

Qingfeng glanced at Qingmo, his eyes were calm, and even his voice was old-fashioned: "I'm afraid that the general hasn't made a choice yet, and when you ask, you forced him to make a decision, which affected the general's judgment." ”

Hearing this, Qingmo scratched his head in annoyance and muttered, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

"But the general should have made a decision a long time ago, so you don't have to worry." Qingfeng continued, "But you must use your brains more in the future." Since the general will not stand on the side of the second son, he must rescue the Ruyi girl quickly, otherwise he will become the weakness of the general. ”

"Brother, you're right, it's the first time in so many years that I've seen a general so attentive to a girl." The two of them had already returned to the guard's courtyard as they spoke.

Qingmo received a letter in the next day, and the young man who came to deliver the letter was dressed in a short brown coarse cloth coat, saying that it was a letter written to him by Qingmo's sister.

Qingmo was very puzzled, he didn't have a sister, only an older brother Qingfeng. But after following the general for many years, he still has this understanding, in front of the messenger, Qingmo didn't show anything, looking at the spy behind the corner tree outside the mansion, Qingmo calmly took the letter and thanked him with a smile.

Entering the inner courtyard, Qingmo hurriedly walked to the study, the letter was written by the Ruyi girl, and he was probably afraid that something would go wrong and leave his name. "General, there's news." Qingmo looked left and right outside the door, closed the door, and handed the letter to Ling Huyuan.

Ling Huyuan breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Qingmo, "Ruyi is finally safe." But then his expression was a little lonely, "It may be safer not to be by my side for the time being." ”

Ling Huyuan looked up at Qingmo and asked seriously, "Qingmo, do you also think that it is better for Ruyi not to be by my side now?" ”

Qingmo didn't know what to say, so she could only answer truthfully: "I think it's better for Miss Ruyi to choose to avoid it elsewhere first." ”

Ling Hu Yuan collected his emotions after a while and said calmly: "You go and pick two good and reliable secret guards to secretly protect Miss Ruyi." Qingmo agreed and withdrew.

Ling Huyuan knew in his heart that the best way to choose in this situation was the best way. He hoped that Ruyi would be happy and safe, since she wanted to go to Guiguzi to apprentice. Then let her go. Emotional matters can only be taken slowly.

In the county magistrate's mansion, Hu Xian Ling ran towards the Huxin Pavilion with his short legs, and the son Wei Xuan was sitting in the pavilion, and there were two black-clothed people kneeling outside the pavilion.

Wei Xuan didn't speak, his eyes were as cold as the frozen lake water in winter, and the atmosphere was weird. Hu Shan didn't dare to look around, so he passed over the two black-clothed people without squinting, and whispered: "Second son, a young man dressed in a short brown coarse cloth coat just appeared at the gate of the General's Mansion. ”

Wei Shu didn't respond for a long time. Hu Shan raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, not daring to leave or speak again. After a while, Wei slowly spoke, "You go down first." ”

Hu Shan didn't dare to stay, lowered his head and hurriedly retreated. Hu Shan was very afraid of this second son, and only then did he relax after walking out of the road, and was thinking about how to send away this fierce god, four people came from the Huxin Pavilion and carried two black-clothed people It was the two black-clothed people who were kneeling just now, there was blood on their necks, and they were no longer breathing. Hu Shan was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped aside and didn't dare to take another look.

There is a west mountain at the border of Guiling County, although it is called a mountain, but it is more like a hill, and the west slope is even more gentle, which is suitable for camping. It's late spring, and the vegetation is very abundant. There is no humidity in the rainy season, and there is no scorching summer heat, the climate is just pleasant.

After a few days of recuperation, Wei Pop's wound has begun to heal, but he can't move vigorously yet.

The warm wind blew into the big tent from time to time, and Wei Poppy half-leaned on the couch, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or awake with his eyes closed. It was very quiet in the big tent, and the maids and attendants were all guarding outside the tent, and at this time, a rush of footsteps came, and Wei Poppy slowly opened his eyes. "Your Highness, the General's secret letter."

After reading the letter, Wei Poppy was silent for a long time, with tumbling emotions in his eyes, but finally calmed down. Although Linghu Yuan did not mention Ruyi in his letter, he only said Wei Huan, but Wei Poppy knew that Ruyi had an accident and it was related to Wei Huan.

He knows this brother's methods too well, and the arrow is not missing, and one shot will be double. Childe closed his eyes and opened them again, leaving only a tenacious color. "Kang Ming pack his things and leave for Dadu tomorrow." There was a hoarseness in his voice that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Your Highness, your injuries are not yet healed......"

"It's okay, walk slowly, it's always okay."

"Well, I'll get ready." The footsteps faded away.

Wei Pop remembered that when he was a child, because Wei Shu was weak and sick since he was a child, he was not loved by his father, and his mother's family was weak, and his mother was not favored, so it was inevitable that he would be bullied by other ladies, and the minions would inevitably be powerful. At that time, there was a Zhao Meiren who was very much loved by his father, and he offended his mother in his tongue, so he always kept it in mind, and when the steward slave once again sent their mother and son with shoddy items, he made a plan to frame Zhao Meiren and the steward minion, and got rid of the two at the same time. At that time, Wei Xuan was only ten years old.

The team set off quickly and orderly, and what was earned in the battle for the position was time and connections. The courtiers' supporters should be a lot more than Wei Xuan, and it shouldn't be too late to rush back now. If nothing else, the certainty should be great.

It's just that if there are no accidents in life, it's not called life.
