Chapter 124: Ambush
Strange, just a few days after I came back, why can't I find my passport? Do we have a black hole in our house???

Yan Yujin, who was sighed by the king as the most lively, was actually not as relaxed and calm as he appeared. The noble son of the brocade robe and the saddle horse galloping through the Jinling market had just recently accepted a task from his father, a task that was not dangerous but not easy to complete.
Yan Yujin had long been aware of Yan Que's beginning to re-engage in the Korean situation, but he really got confirmation from his father on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve this year. After paying homage to their ancestors in the ancestral hall that night, the father and son returned to the warm small room, drank around the fireplace, and talked freely for nearly a night.
Yan Que was young and in the past, Yan Yujin only heard Mei Changsu roughly say that, and this time I heard the parties themselves reminisce about the past, which has another meaning. In those years of Yanque, there were dripping pride, there were scolding Fang Chief, there were fierce ambitions, there were sorrows and sorrows, there were so many people who needed to be missed, and there were so many unforgettable things. More than ten years of depression and decadence, still can't change the passionate nature, look up and drink, toss a cup and groan, the face of this old marquis who has long been heroic, but when he pours out the past, he looks so radiant, and he doesn't see the appearance of old man.
Yan Yujin felt that he liked such a father, a living and emotionally vivid father.
"Yu'er," Yan Que stroked his son's shoulder and looked him straight in the eye, "because my father doesn't like party fighting, it's too ugly, and it will swallow up too much goodness; I also don't like Mei Changsu, he is too treacherous and unpredictable, so I was only willing to promise to do a limited number of things for him before. But this time, I decided to do my best to help him, and I would not hesitate to pay any price, because of this decision between him and King Jing...... It really shook me. Knowing that it is a trap and a trap, and the pros and cons are so obvious, but he still wants to save it, what he does is nothing more than the love and justice of the past...... It's been a long time since I've seen someone so stupid, yet so bold. If I don't help them this time, what face will I have in the future to meet my old friends under the spring? Yu'er, can you understand this thought of being a father? β
"I understand." Yan Yujin put away Su Ri's jumping expression, and his eyes under the reflection of the male furnace fire were extremely deep, "Dad, don't worry, the child is a descendant of the Yan family, and he understands what loyalty is and what filial piety is." Regarding the current court situation, the child's opinion is actually the same as that of his father, but I don't know much about King Jing...... However, since Dad and Brother Su are willing to be used by him, he must have something special. β
"King Jing has been by King Qi's side since he was a child, and his way of dealing with people and governing the country have been inherited from King Qi, and I still have confidence in him. However, his temperament is not very similar to that of his brother, more resolute and stubborn, and less chic. You are young, but I'm afraid you can't remember King Qi clearly...... Jing Yu ...... Very much like his mother......"
Regarding the madness of his youth, and the affection between himself and Concubine Chen, what Yan Que said just now was very vague when recalling the old things. But Yan Yujin is smart and has already realized it. At this time, he looked at his father who was groaning, and the feeling in his heart was a little complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was feeling emotion or being confused.
Jing Yu ...... Yujin ...... Is the connection between these two names a coincidence, or is it something that someone did subconsciously, Yan Yujin didn't ask, but as a child who cares about his father very much in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask another question.
"Dad, what about me? Am I like my mother? β
"You......" Yan Que came back to his senses, looked at his son, and showed a loving look in his eyes, "You are like me, like when I was young." However, when you reach my age, I hope you don't feel like me now. β
"Dad is very good now, his heart is not cold, and he is not old, what's wrong?"
"You kid, you just have a sweet mouth." Yan Que laughed and filled his son with another glass of wine.
"Actually, I haven't forgotten all the things before, Uncle Lin, Concubine Chen, and King Qi, I remember a little bit," Yan Yujin raised his chin and recalled, "King Qi is very good to us children, if there are any questions to ask him, he always answers them very clearly, and when he takes us out to ride and shoot, he also takes care of us very thoroughly, unlike Brother Lin Shu, who gets impatient for a while, thinks we are slow, and thinks we are stupid, so he catches us off the horse and throws us into the car to ask Mama to take care of us, and he runs to the front first...... I remember this most clearly! β
Yan Que couldn't help but smile, but this smile quickly faded, "Xiaoshu...... Alas, it's him the most pity ......"
Yan Yujin saw that his father was starting to be sad again, and hurriedly said: "Dad, how does Brother Su want you to help him, have you said it?" β
"Something about it. My part is mainly to lure Xia Jiang out on the same day, and after the incident, I secretly contacted the courtiers to exonerate King Jing, which is not a difficult thing to do. β
Yan Que said it simply, but as long as you think about it, you know that it is not easy, especially the latter thing, which requires accurate judgment and strict control of proportion, and a slight deviation will be counterproductive.
"Dad, are you sure?"
"It's man-made." Arrogance suddenly appeared on Yan Que's face, "Dad has been looking at the court situation coldly for so many years, and this judgment is still accurate." β
"Is there anything I can ask the child to do for you?"
"Mei Changsu said that he wanted to ask you for help, but he asked me to ask you first, if you don't want to, don't force it."
Yan Yujin smiled bitterly: "This Brother Su, things are already like this, how can I not be willing." What the hell is going on? β
"He didn't say, I'll meet with him again, and I'll ask later." Yan Que shook his son's shoulder vigorously and said, "Mei Changsu promised not to let you do dangerous things, and I won't let you take risks." β
"Dad, it's okay......"
"You think it's okay, Dad thinks it's okay. Be obedient, over the years, Dad has been very wronged by you. β
Yan Yujin was a little unaccustomed to such a warm father, his nose was a little sour, he raised his head to a glass of wine, and pressed the churning in his chest.
That night, the father and son drank a whole jar and a half of wine before they collapsed, and for the first time they both found that the other's alcohol consumption was so good. When he woke up, he found a handsome and indifferent young man squatting in front of them staring at them, and when he saw them open his eyes, he stuffed a letter and said loudly: "Burn it!" With that, he disappeared.
Although the remaining drunkenness did not disappear, Yan Que was finally sober enough, and he did not burn the letter directly according to the young man's concise instructions, but opened it and read it first.
It was precisely because of this letter that on the fourth day of the new year, Yan Yujin ran through the streets of Jinling, swaggering to visit his friends, and finally, came to the front of King Ji's mansion.
Known for his straightforward temperament, the emperor's uncle Ji Wang, who is known for his good tone and wine, is a friend of Yan Yujin, and when he sees this little friend, he is happy to bloom, and he is busy entertaining in the house, and he also called all his newly trained musicians and singers out to perform.
However, despite his hospitality, he had just passed the third round, and Yan Yujin looked a little absent-minded, just out of politeness, he also made an expression of contemplative appreciation, but unfortunately his gaze had long been scattered.
"Your ears, just let Miaoyin Fang feed Diao." King Ji said stupidly, "Of course you can't look down on these superficial toys in my house." β
"Don't just talk about me, don't you be like this yourself?" Yan Yujin waved his hand indifferently, "I'm afraid it's not me who plays the piano of the most labyrinth feather girl, right?" β
"Alas," King Ji sighed, "It's a pity that a place like Miaoyinfang is a bandit......"
"Cut, you also believe this......" Yan Yujin just rushed out, and seemed to realize something immediately, swallowed it back in the middle of the middle, and raised a toast.
King Ji immediately understood, and quietly drank two more glasses with him, then sent his subordinates back, moved to Yan Yujin's side, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, do you mean that there is no bandit in Miaoyinfang?" β
"What kind of bandit?" Yan Yujin pursed his mouth, "Which group of bandits has a name?" Does the Criminal Department have any relevant case files? Who is the accuser? Is there the slightest evidence of this? It's just a non-existent thing. β
"Since it is wronged, why did the people in Miaoyin Fang avoid their crimes and flee in advance?"
"It's very simple, bandits are wronged, but offending people is real. If you provoke someone you can't afford to provoke, won't you run away and wait for death? β
King Ji suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who is so arrogant? β
Yan Yujin glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, who went to arrest people that day, don't you know?" β
"I've heard of this, it's not the Criminal Department, it's the ...... of Dali Temple" King Ji suddenly understood when he said this, Zhu Yue of Dali Temple is the brother-in-law of King Yu, and he has always been known for his lust, if it is said that he wants to occupy Gong Yu with the strength of his brother-in-law, it is not a strange thing.
"Now you understand, Gong Yu can't help it. All she wanted to do was get out of the way and see if there was another way out. β
King Ji raised his eyebrows, and suddenly pointed at Yan Yujin and laughed.
"What's wrong with the prince?"
"What does Miss Gong Yu think, how do you know?" King Ji smiled evilly, "Say, did you hide her?" β
"I, I, where do I have?" Yan Yujin was taken aback, and couldn't help stammering, "Lord Wang, don't talk nonsense......"
"The heart is empty," King Ji laughed and chased after him, "Xiao Yujin, what's the matter with telling me the truth?" I'm also worried about Miss Gong Yu, is she okay? β
Yan Yujin looked at him for a long time before he gave up and slumped his shoulders and said, "It's not that I hid her, it's that she was in trouble after escaping and sent someone to ask me for help, and I just gave a little help." Now she's not bad, she has practiced new tunes, and when I sent her New Year's goods a few years ago, I listened to it. β
King Ji is also a music fan, as soon as he heard that Miss Gong Yu had a new tune, he immediately couldn't help but salivate, and dragged Yan Yujin's arm and said: "You have to take me there, I also have old friends with Miss Gong Yu, how can she not say hello when she is in trouble?" β
"But ......"
"Don't worry, what's there to be afraid of, isn't it Zhu Yue? I don't care about that kid yet, and King Yu won't turn his face against me for this, but I'm also his elder. β
"Actually......" Yan Yujin said in a long voice, "It's nothing to take you there, but Miss Gong Yu is a little disheartened, I'm afraid I won't want to see you nobles more." β
"Am I like those people?" King Ji patted the table and said, "I still have to go when you say that, go, go now!" β
"How can anyone be in such a hurry?" Yan Yujin smiled and said, "Don't look at what time it is?" Okay, I can't beat you anyway, so I'll be blamed by the palace girl and I'll take you around tomorrow. β
"That's pretty much it. What time is tomorrow? β
"It's not time in the afternoon, I'm going to accompany my dad out in the morning."
"It's really a filial son." King Ji laughed, "Okay, if it's not time, it's not time, you can't break your word." β
"If I break my promise, won't you call the door?" Yan Yujin stretched his waist and said, "Don't wear the king's clothes tomorrow, we have to go quietly." β
"Yes, yes." King Ji responded, ordered someone to rearrange the fresh dishes, and pulled the guest who was about to leave to drink for more than half an hour, and saw that the sky was dark, before letting him go out.
At this time, the night wind was blowing, and there was a heavy fishy smell in the air, indicating that tomorrow would not be sunny and sunny. Yan Yujin put the top pocket of the cloak on his sleeve and turned over on his horse.
In the snow-white fox fur encirclement, the face that was always bright and bright was slightly serious.
"Around the afternoon of the fifth day of the first month, I took King Ji to the north branch of Dengjia Lane Gongyu." This is what Mei Changsu asked Yan Yujin to do. He carried it out seriously and thought it seriously.
However, at that time, he hadn't been able to figure out what the reason Mei Changsu wanted him to do this in the whole plan.
