Chapter 9: The Trace of Jin'an
Bo family study
"Father." Bo Yan said.
"The old minister sees the queen's mother." Bo Zhongqing saw Bo Yan and hurriedly saluted, but Bo Yan stepped forward to stop him, Bo Yan sighed, his father, whoever is the nominal master will be loyal to whom, even if this person is her biological daughter, this is stupid and loyal, and it is pedantic! I often hope that he can have more eyes like the Yan family, and save himself such a tiring plan.
"Father, you and I are father and daughter, there are no outsiders here, why do you bother."
Bo Zhongqing shook his head: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, the queen mother, the saint Yun ......"
"Okay, okay," Bo Yan shook his head helplessly and raised his hand to stop Bo Zhongqing's tirade: "Father, you should know the purpose of my return this time, that incident ......"
When he mentioned this, Bo Zhongqing immediately straightened up, tightened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I immediately sent someone to investigate after receiving the information from my mother's call to Pei Yao last time, but after seven or eight days to no avail, I thought about giving up, but just two days ago, I suddenly received news that I found something on Suzaku Street. ”
"Suzaku Street?" Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, it was the most prosperous area in the capital and even in Zhao Kingdom, how could it be...... After thinking about it for a while, Bo Yan was relieved, too, who would have thought that a person who should have disappeared in the capital would stay in the most conspicuous place, his father spent so much effort before and didn't find it, I'm afraid he was looking for some remote places, but he didn't expect that person to be in the most conspicuous place.
"How did you find out?" Bo Yan asked, since he chose to hide in Suzaku Street, he should be completely sure, how could he show his feet so easily, and not agree with his own understanding of him.
Bo Zhongqing looked like a courtier, and replied in a regular manner: "It's not him, but another person he brought to the capital, the day before yesterday, he spent a lot of money in the Jade Fang to buy a piece of mutton fat white jade fan pendant, and the shot is so generous, and the life is not bad, it is difficult for people to forget!" Following the traces he left behind, he naturally found the place where the two of them were hiding. ”
"So, they're still there?" Thin Rouge raised his eyebrows.
"I sent people to guard in the shadows, and they were still there."
Bo Yan gently stirred the silk handkerchief in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes couldn't hide his happiness, he was reborn in a transfer, right? Effortless?
……
Baili Yu opened the door, and was obviously stunned for a second when he saw the thin rouge in a navy blue cloak standing at the door and Pei Yao following behind her, and subconsciously touched the mutton fat white jade fan pendant on the folding fan, and quietly glanced at Jin An, who looked calm behind him, his eyes were red, and he wrapped a bag of tears and shrank into the corner of the wall weakly and helplessly, as if he saw that after returning to the Western Jin Dynasty, he was washed by Jin'an and rubbed incense into zongzi and sent to his Five Emperors' Uncle's mansion...... After all, I got into trouble this time......
Compared with Baili Yu's frustration, Jin An was very calm, and he could open the door wider with a smile, and let Bo Yan and Pei Yao into the door with a gesture of invitation.
This is a small blue brick courtyard, there is no special furnishings, a bluestone table and chairs, a grapevine trellis is all the furnishings in the courtyard, although it is neat and clean, but it is definitely not a place where the prince of a country should live.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, long time no see." Bo Yan smiled and owed to Jin'an.
"The queen's mother, there is a long way to go," Jin An smiled and hugged his fists: "This place is shabby, and I have wronged my mother." ”
"This place is elegant and chic, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to settle here, but he doesn't say hello to the emperor, but it seems that we are not well entertained." Bo Yan smiled and sat on the bluestone chair, and Jin An poured a cup of tea for Bo Yan.
Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Jin An was not surprised by his arrival, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be calm or really prepared? But if he was prepared, how could he obediently wait in this courtyard to find him? Bo Yan was a little uncertain for a while......
Jin An added a cup of tea to himself, turned his head and glanced at Baili Gardenia, who was still shrinking in the corner and trying to reduce his sense of existence, coughed lightly, Baili Gardenia immediately "trembled" and looked at this side in panic, and then reluctantly got up and came to the side of the two, and bowed deeply to Bo Yan: "See the queen mother." ”
"This palace is a micro-service patrol, no need to be polite," Bo Yan waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked here is really good, who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was supposed to return to the Western Jin Dynasty, would be hidden in the most prosperous Vermilion Bird Long Street in Zhao Kingdom, if it weren't for Baili Gongzi is a person who loves jade, this palace really can't know your whereabouts, so thank Baili Gongzi." ”
Baili Yu's mouth was deflated, and he looked like he was about to cry, and he glanced at Jin An cautiously, and then lowered his head again.
"He has always loved jade and is obsessed." Jin An smiled.
Bo Yan took a sip of tea and tasted the best Longjing before the rain, sure enough, after all, the prince of a country would never have wronged himself so far, but the greetings have almost been paved up to now, and it is time to get to the point
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a smart person, I must be able to guess the purpose of this palace here today, why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly stayed in Zhao State, there is no need for this palace to say more."
"Zhao is a big country, and there are people who are greedy for beautiful scenery for a while."
"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately beat around the bush, such an excuse is really lame." Bo Yan frowned, he didn't have any direct contact with Jin'an in his previous life, could it be that he misjudged him, and he was not as smart as he thought? How could he say such an obviously debunked excuse? Or do you deliberately say it to be perfunctory?
Jin An smiled silently, Bo Yan's brows furrowed even more, this is different from what he imagined, it was Jin An who was caught in the handle, why was he led by the nose from the time they met until now? Jin An is like no one, this feeling makes Bo Yan very uncomfortable, for this sworn enemy who existed in the previous life, Bo Yan has always been a little unconfident in the face of him, he is like an ancient well without waves, bottomless.
The silence of this dying man made the atmosphere suddenly tense, of course, the tension was also one-sided, there was no movement on Jin'an's side, just looking at Bo Yan without any waves, but Bai Li Yu's eyes were wandering between the two.
Just when Bo Yan finally couldn't bear it and wanted to admit it and speak first, Jin An finally said lightly: "Since the queen mother came alone today with the intention of putting it on the next horse, you might as well say it directly." ”
Bo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his breathing, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders in the field now, and if there is something to say, the palace will say it directly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Yan family have a close relationship, and the relationship between Yu Zhao and the Western Jin Dynasty is probably inappropriate." ”
Jin An's expression finally changed, in order to cover up his close relationship with the Yan family, he had dealings with many families in Beijing, including many powerful people, such as General Zhu Cheng, the military power in his hands was more worthy of Zhao Guo's fear, so many people chose why Bo Yan saw at a glance that he valued the Yan family? This was indeed beyond Jin'an's expectations.
Seeing the slight change in Jin An's expression, Bo Yan finally had a feeling of winning back a city, and smiled confidently: "Zhao Guo and the Western Jin Dynasty have always been good friends, if the diplomatic relations between the two countries are disrupted because of this matter, I am afraid that it is not what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see, while it is not too late, this palace advises His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think twice." ”
"The queen mother means ......," Jin An said.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can tell the Yan family what they are going to do or plan, and promise to leave the Zhao Kingdom, and swear never to participate in the Zhao Kingdom again, the palace should send someone to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Baili Gongzi back to the Western Jin Dynasty safely, and this matter will not be known to anyone outside this courtyard." Bo Yan prescribes conditions.
Jin An's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, good!" That's what the queen said! Let's go, let's go, let's go! ”
While talking, he secretly pulled Jin'an's sleeve, and gave him a look: A hero doesn't suffer a loss in front of him!
Jin An glanced at Bai Li Yu helplessly, and turned his head to look at Bo Yan: "Oh? Just so? "This matter is a good way to threaten herself, Jin An didn't expect her to make such a simple condition.
Bo Yan nodded, he knew that this was a good time to threaten Jin'an in order to make a profit, Jin'an, as the prince of a country, he could get a lot from him, the reason why it was so simple was to forget it, Bo Yan was completely for the sake of the future, and the Yan family was a tough battle, I don't know what the variables would be in the future, the most important thing now is to let them lose Jin'an's support, as for Jin'an, after all, he represents the Western Jin Dynasty, although he is at fault, but the country-to-country diplomatic relations have always been a blind eye, once there is any accident, it is the people who suffer, Zhao Guo is already an internal worry, there can be no external troubles, the Western Jin Dynasty can only avoid, can not offend, he just wants a guarantee from Jin'an.
Jin An hooked his lips and smiled: "It seems that the queen mother trusts me very much?" All I need is one guarantee? Aren't you afraid that you will regret it in the future? ”
"A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still trustworthy." Bo Yan said firmly, he has shown full sincerity, this trip is not so much a threat, but a persuasion, both sides take a step back, he is at least seventy percent sure that Jin'an agrees to his conditions, as for what he said in the future, he will regret it...... Bo Yan chuckled, if he was not sure, he naturally wouldn't say this, he still remembered the previous life, the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jin'an, because of a joke when he was young, he let go of the enemy killer who went to assassinate him, and he was still able to take care of the original promise for the person who threatened his life, not to mention that the conditions he offered now are much more generous.
"The queen's coming this time is full of sincerity." The laziness around Jin An has been reduced a little, and he looked at Bo Yan's gaze fixed, he underestimated this Bo Yan, she is much smarter than Emperor Jiahe, her manners are moderate, and she knows how to advance and retreat, and at the same time, she threatens herself and makes people unable to find faults, so as not to force herself to be anxious.
"It's just...... The queen also knows that things in this world have always been the law of the jungle, and even more so between countries, your emperor is not smart, and it is a matter of time before the country dies, if I don't plan early, but promise you not to interfere again, it is not a cheap deal, whether it is the Yan family or other countries. Jin An smiled slightly and continued leisurely.
