Chapter III

The eldest young master of the uncle's mansion said that Yujin is Xiao Jingrui's best friend, and the three noble sons originally met Mei Changsu together on the way to travel, and planned to go back to Jinling together, but who knew that the group happened to save an old couple who were chased and killed on the way, and heard them say that they were preparing to go to Beijing, and to accuse the relatives of Qingguo Gong Baiye in his hometown of Binzhou to run rampant in the township, fish and flesh people, seize farmland for private property, beat people and other crimes. Xie Bi because the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo and the Mansion of Qingguo have always been friends, and he was afraid of his father's blame, so he did not dare to take care of this idle matter, so Yujin was free and easy by nature, and his chivalrous heart rose, so he volunteered to escort the old couple to go first, and at the same time insisted that Xiao Jingrui should not go with him, and let him accompany Mei Changsu, who had to slow down due to physical reasons, and then return to Beijing.

"How is Hu Gong and Hu Po?" As soon as he saw him, Mei Changsu naturally asked the old couple who complained first.

"The case has been handed over to the Imperial Historical Tower, the matter is very stable now, the emperor's secret decree sent an envoy to Binzhou, and the case will not be tried for the time being before the conclusion of the investigation, so there is no turmoil yet, Xie Bi, you don't need to be in such a hurry to be cold and avoid suspicion." Although Yan Yujin said in a cheerful tone, he spoke unceremoniously, "I just wanted to come to see Jing Rui and Brother Su so late, so I didn't come to see you, and I was not convinced to bite me......"

"Phew!" Xie Bi said, "Who can bite your thick skin?" ”

"Okay, okay, no kidding, I'll be serious with you," Yan Yujin dragged a stool and sat down at the table, scooped up a cup of tea and drank it all, "You probably don't know how timely you came back, right?" ”

"In time?" Xiao Jingrui blinked in confusion, "Did we catch up with anything?" ”

"Haha," Yan Yujin patted his friend's shoulder hard, "You guys caught up with a big fight!" ”

Hearing him say this, Mei Changsu gave up, but Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi opened their eyes together, revealing curious expressions. Because the two of them know Yan Yujin very well, they know that this uncle is the most popular person in the whole capital, where there is excitement, there is his shadow, and the more lively they see, the standard will naturally rise, so the "big" excitement that comes out of his mouth will definitely not be small.

"Don't hang your appetite, let's talk about it, what's the excitement to see? Does the imperial court want to add Enko to Wu Kui? Xie Bi asked.

"It's more lively than that," Yan Yujin waved his hand, "Do you still remember, who did we see outside the small county town where we first met Brother Su?" ”

"I saw ......it," Xie Biluo thought back, "Ah, that mission sent by the Great Yu State to make us the Great Liang!" At that time, didn't they make a fuss in the restaurant and say that they had lost the national letter they brought? smashed the building and searched their bodies, that rampant energy really made people want to teach them a hard lesson! They are now in Beijing? What for? ”

"Hehe," Yan Yujin said with a smile, "They are here to ask for marriage!" ”

"So that's the case......," Xie Bi was a little disappointed, "The emperor will definitely examine these envoys according to the usual practice, although it is quite interesting, but it is not necessarily how lively it will be." ”

"Don't worry," Yan Yujin glanced at him, "There are not only the emperor, but also the envoys of Dayu in this bustle, and a third party that you can't think of!" Guess who? ”

Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi just started to think about it, but Mei Changsu had already said, "Is it that the delegation from Beiyan has also arrived in Jinling?" ”

Yan Yujin felt a little frustrated, but quickly cheered up again: "Brother Su guessed right, the scale of Beiyan's mission is not small, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly in Jinling City for several days, the emperor can't decide, or he doesn't want to make a decision at all, so he issued a holy decree, and three days later, outside the Suzaku Gate, there will be a fair competition!" ”

"It's a little interesting," Xiao Jingrui raised his eyebrows, "We have seen that there is at least one golden eagle Chai Ming in the Dayu Mission, although Beiyan doesn't know if Tuoba Hao is here, but it will never be bad." This competition between the two sides is indeed worth watching. ”

"Where is just a two-sided competition, it's a three-party!" Yan Yujin smiled smugly.

"Huh?" The two brothers asked in unison, "Which other mission?" ”

Yan Yujin was about to sell Guanzi, and Mei Changsu smiled again: "I guess of course there is also the host." My Fair Lady, good gentleman, don't we the warriors of the Great Liang be allowed to fight for this opportunity? ”

Facing the inquiring eyes of Xiao Xie and the others, Yan Yujin had no choice but to affirm: "Brother Su guessed right, it is these three parties." ”

Xie Bi was very surprised and said: "It's really strange that the emperor made such an order, if he doesn't agree to make peace, he just refuses, if he agrees to make peace, then what will he try to bring his countrymen in?" ”

"You don't understand, do you?" Yan Yujin was happy again, "I told you just now, this is a courtship, not a kiss!" Do you think it's the same as before, if the emperor agrees, he will choose a princess and county lord of the right age to marry, and the other party doesn't care who it is, anyway, he is marrying the identity of a noble daughter of the Liang clan? ”

"Listening to what you mean, Da Yu and Beiyan are coming this time, is there still a specific candidate for marriage?"

"That's right." Yan Yujin said with a mysterious expression, "A specific candidate, a person who makes them willing to marry them all over the place...... Do you want to guess who it is......"

Before the words fell, Mei Changsu casually put down the porridge bowl and said, "I guess it's the Nihuang County Lord." ”

Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi jumped up together and lost their voices: "What?!" ”

Yu Jin stared at Mei Changsu with a resentful face, and said hatefully: "Brother Su, although you are extremely smart and admirable, this kind of problem of guessing everything is really not good, it makes people feel very boring and have no sense of achievement!" ”

"I'm sorry, I reflect, I won't be like this in the future." Mei Changsu smiled, "You continue." ”

"What are you going to do, you've almost finished talking about what you should have said......"

"That's pretty much it?" Xie Bi said loudly, "What kind of bullshit request did Da Yu and Beiyan mention?" The emperor should have refused from the beginning, what kind of public competition is there to have?! Didn't the ministers discourage? How could the Nihuang County Lord get married? ”

A cold smile appeared on Mei Changsu's lips that was so faint that it was difficult to notice.

Yes, how could the Nihuang County Lord get married? She is not an ordinary noble girl who grew up in the deep palace, but a wizard commander who is in charge of 100,000 frontier iron horsemen in the south as a woman. Ten years ago, the strong enemy Chu in the south of the Great Liang raised troops, and the Yunnan Wang Mushen, who was responsible for the southern defense line, was killed in battle, and his daughter Nihuang was ordered to meet the enemy in danger, and the bloody battle of Chu rode in the Qingming Pass, destroying 30,000 enemies. After this battle, the imperial court issued a decree ordering the lord of Nihuang County to guard the south on behalf of his younger brother, and the entire army in the south was under his command. The county lord also swore to the sky that if her younger brother could not bear the heavy responsibility of the king of Yunnan for a day, she would not marry for a day, and she was still twenty-seven years old and still single.
