Chapter 171: Two Messages
Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Really? That's a shame, there's no interesting story. ”
Obviously, there was a gentle smile on his face, but Xu Wenyu looked at Zhao Yan like this, which always made him feel a chill down his spine, so Xu Wenyu didn't dwell on this topic, but changed the topic and asked, "Ling Zun should be in the capital, why didn't Zhao Gongzi go to Beijing with him, but stayed in Yuecheng?" ”
Zhao Yan put away his smile and looked at Xu Wenyu, "Lord Xu seems to be very clear about the affairs of my Zhao family." ”
In order to change the topic, Xu Wenyu asked this question without thinking about it, but at this time he regretted it a little, he was digging a pit for himself, but he kept his composure on his face, and responded, "Anyang County is relatively close to Yuecheng, and since Anyang County has taken office, the situation in the surrounding states and counties should be inquired a little." ”
Zhao Yan let out a soft "um", and then lowered his head and began to taste the tea in his hand, and no longer spoke.
Xu Wenyu glanced at Zhao Yan, and no longer spoke easily, but the main hall was quiet.
Zhao Yan didn't plan to speak, nor did he plan to get up and leave, and he was very calm, just sitting there and sipping tea slowly.
Xu Wenyu didn't dare to inquire casually, so he only picked some and didn't tell Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan could only count his head at most, or respond lightly.
didn't see Cheng Xi coming, Xu Wenyu didn't want to stay any longer, and finally stood up and said, "Let's see how my nephew and daughter-in-law are doing, since everything is fine, and I still have official business, I will leave first." ”
Zhao Yan was like a master, stood up and saluted back, and said politely, "Master Xu go slowly." After that, he said to Ah Wen, who was guarding the side, "Ah Wen, send off guests." ”
When Xu Wenyu was sent away, Cheng Xi was reluctant to appear, Zhao Yan waved his hand towards his guard, "Go outside and guard, don't let people approach, I have something to say to Mrs. Xu." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Zhao Yan with a puzzled expression, and waited until the guard went out before Zhao Yan spoke, "This Xu Wenyu is a little abnormal, tell me everything you know about him." ”
Originally, Cheng Xi had this feeling before, so he specially asked Yu Zhaocai to ask her about Xu Wenyu's situation after he went to the capital, but there was no news for so long, Xu Wenyu didn't come, and Cheng Xi didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Wenyu came over, Zhao Yan saw it, and then said that there was a problem, only Cheng Xi knew about Xu Wenyu's situation was also very limited, but he still told Zhao Yan everything he knew.
Zhao Yan kept his head down and pondered, and waited until Cheng Xi finished speaking, then raised his head and said, "This problem should be that after he went to the capital, a Xiucai can suddenly return to Anyang County to become the county commander, there is definitely someone behind him, but I don't know who this person is, but I have to inquire carefully, otherwise this person stays in Anyang County, it will be a terrible tumor for you." ”
Cheng Xi responded, "When he inquired about San Lang before, I was a little suspicious, so I specially asked my brother Yu Zhaocai to inquire about the news about his trip to the capital, but there is no news until now." ”
Zhao Yan's brows moved, and he said, "This matter is too dangerous, you tell him, don't act rashly, I will send a message to the Zhao family and let them deal with it." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll send someone to the county seat to tell him in a while, Xu Wenyu has seen Ah Yan here, and he shouldn't embarrass me for the time being, if you have something, go get busy first, you don't have to continue to spend here." ”
Zhao Yan shook his head, "Yuecheng has my third uncle here, I don't have anything to do when I go back to Yuecheng, I will stay here until this Xu Wenyu's situation is not clarified." ”
With this talisman to continue to stay here, Cheng Xi was of course willing, and replied, "Then I will trouble you." ”
At night, Cheng Xi sat upstairs, thinking carefully about Xu Wenyu's various behaviors after he came back, and always inadvertently inquired about Xu Sanlang's traces, is it related to the Murong family?
Thinking that if Xu Wenyu is related to the Murong family, Cheng Xi is a little worried, if Xu Wenyu knows Xu Sanlang's identity, it will be troublesome, there is still a Zhao Yan here, Cheng Xi thought, I still have to talk to Zhao Yan tomorrow.
Only the next morning, when Cheng Xi went to look for Zhao Yan, he didn't find anyone, even the guards with him, and his carriage luggage were gone, Cheng Xi was very depressed, and went to find Awen Awu to ask, only to know that this Zhao Yan received important news in the middle of the night last night and rushed to Yuncheng overnight.
Cheng Xi was very depressed, didn't he say that he would stay and not leave? I only promised to stay yesterday, and today I disappeared, which is simply unreliable.
No, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Wenyu would definitely not come to her for trouble for the time being, and after being depressed for a long time, he should do something again.
Only half a month later, Yu Zhaocai came over in a carriage in the evening, Cheng Xi looked at Yu Zhaocai in the dust, and asked suspiciously, "Are you in a hurry to come over?" ”
Yu Zhaocai followed Cheng Xi into the house, and said as he walked, "Two news, I'll tell you when I drink a glass of water." ”
Cheng Xi entered the house, poured a glass of water for Yu Zhaocai, and said, "Good news or bad news?" ”
Yu Zhaocai responded, "It should be good news." ”
Cheng Xi urged, "Don't sell it, say it quickly." ”
Yu Zhaocai took a big sip of tea before he spoke, "The Governor of Cloud City has been arrested, and Cloud City is being purged. ”
Cheng Xi rolled his eyes at Yu Zhaocai, "What kind of good news is this, what's the matter with me?" Cheng Xi, who reacted half a beat, said the last sentence, and then his eyes widened, "Yuncheng Governor Guard, last time you arrested our Li Bin?" ”
For Cheng Xide's slow response, Yu Zhaocai nodded speechlessly, and responded, "It doesn't have much to do with you, but it has something to do with your man, and I heard that the reason why the Governor of Yuncheng fell was because the Murong clan was finally overthrown, although the exact news has not yet arrived, it is estimated that it is eight or nine years old." ”
Cheng Xi didn't feel much about the fall of the Murong clan, but Cheng Xi was very excited, the fall of the Murong clan didn't have much impact on her, but the fall of the Murong clan meant that Xu Sanlang and they succeeded.
Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi's sometimes excited and sometimes stunned expression, and said proudly, "What's the matter, is it good news?" ”
Cheng Xi didn't answer Yu Zhaocai, but said, "If it's really the Murong clan that has fallen, then Xu Sanlang can finally come back?" ”
Yu Zhaocai responded, "I don't know about this, then it depends on Brother Xu, if Brother Xu remembers you, he will definitely come back, if he falls in love with a beautiful woman or something like that, he may forget about you, a little village girl." ”
Cheng Xi glared at Yu Zhaocai angrily, and said dissatisfiedly, "Am I not beautiful?" ”
Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi carefully, "When you say this, I look at some changes, it's not the little black girl before, it's a lot whiter?" ”
Cheng Xi thought that there was not much pearl powder given by Zhao Yan in his hand, so he said to Yu Zhaocai unceremoniously, "Do you have pearl powder?" ”
Yu Zhaocai asked suspiciously, "Pearl powder?" What's that for? Oh, I remembered, it seems that the crescent moon is used for a long time, oh, I just said how to turn white, it turned out that pearl powder was used, this is when I heard that Brother Xu is coming back to start thinking about spring? Well, you have to take care of it well, otherwise you won't be able to hook Brother Xu's soul, what if Brother Xu runs away with someone else? ”
Cheng Xi stretched out his leg and kicked the immodest Yu Zhaocai, and said, "Let's get down to business, the farther you go, don't you say that there are two things?" What's the other piece? ”
Although he was ridiculed by Yu Zhaocai, Cheng Xi still had a smile on his face that could not be concealed, and asked about another thing.
Yu Zhaocai no longer teased Cheng Xi, and said, "There is one more thing, that is, everyone in the Cheng family has come back from Cloud City, I met your brother at noon today, he said that the current Cloud City is in a mess, and the rest of the party related to the Governor's Guard is searched everywhere, and I don't know when the chaos will be, they will simply come back, and they should have gone back to Shiqiao Village by this time." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and replied, "It's okay to come back, if it is true that the Murong clan has fallen, this Great Zhou Dynasty should be in chaos for a while, and it is not as safe as a country like ours." ”
Yu Zhaocai said, "By the way, there is another thing, that is, Xu Wenyu actually took all the officers and soldiers of Anyang County to take Yuncheng. ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, he had suspected that Xu Wenyu had become a minion of the Murong family after he went to the capital, wasn't he? Or do you want to save that Li Bin? Isn't that self-defeating? Cheng Xi thought about it, but hoped that Xu Wenyu would kill herself, so that no one would trouble her in the future.
Yu Zhaocai saw that Cheng Xi didn't speak, only frowned happily for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What do you think, this expression is uncertain." ”
Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "I'm thinking that this Xu Wenyu went to Cloud City, could it be to save that Li Bin?" ”
Yu Zhaocai glanced at Cheng Xi, "Are you a fool when Xu Wenyu is a fool?" Isn't it self-defeating to save Li Bin at this time? is such a snobbish person, even if he had something to do with Li Bin before, he will definitely be clean with Li Bin at this time. ”
Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, "Okay, it's me daydreaming, don't I hope he can kill himself?" There's nothing else to do, I'm going to make dinner, don't forget to get me pearl powder. ”
Yu Zhaocai said, "Wait, it's no problem to get you pearl powder, but you promised me before to help me persuade the crescent moon, should you take it to heart?" How long has it been? ”
Cheng Xi sighed and smiled, "I forgot, why were you brought the crescent moon today?" I'll help you persuade you by the way. ”
Yu Zhaocai glared at Cheng Xi angrily, "That's your future sister-in-law, can you have a snack?" ”
Cheng Xi was in a good mood, thinking that Yu Zhaocai had teased himself before, and said with a wicked taste at this time, "Huh? Are you going to give the crescent moon to my brother? Give it to my second brother or fourth brother? I think the crescent moon and my second brother are quite compatible, and the fourth brother is actually not bad. ”
Yu Zhaocai's name and surname reprimanded, "Cheng Xi." ”
Cheng Xi hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I won't say it, tomorrow I will go to Shiqiao Village to see my father and them, and by the way, I will go to the county seat to enlighten and enlighten my future sister-in-law Yu." ”
Yu Zhaocai nodded and responded, "It's pretty much the same, let's go cook, I want to eat sweet and sour short ribs, hibiscus balls, peach blossom crisp, garlic and white meat......"
Cheng Xi, who walked to the door, turned his head and looked at Yu Zhaocai suspiciously, "You're not going back?" ”
Yu Zhaocai responded, "Ming'er is with you." ”
Cheng Xi was in a good mood today, stretched out two fingers, and said, "Pick two." ”
Yu Zhaocai said with a wistful expression, "I ran so far to send you news, so I only gave you two dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic and white meat." ”
