Chapter 21: Grace and Might

"Who is it?" Yan Yuqing exclaimed lightly.

"Be quiet, it's me." Xuanyuan Jue walked out from behind the jade screen of the hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.

Yan Yuqing saw Xuanyuan Jue and asked in surprise, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"Kill a carbine." Xuanyuan Jue said calmly: "I just want to ask you, what's going on?" Is there any misunderstanding in this? ”

After all, the Wu family is a big family in Xiangyang, and their interests are widely implicated. He also has salt mines, iron mines and other business dealings with the Yan family. Xuanyuan Jue is not good at tearing his face for the Yan family and the Wu family, after all, it is safer to ask Yan Yuqing himself.

"I stumbled upon a big secret of the Wu family, and they wanted to keep me." Yan Yuqing said vaguely, but in fact, he also had selfish intentions. She wanted to use these two secret techniques to build an invincible team for the Yan clan.

I still don't want Xuanyuan Jue to know about this matter for the time being.

"Secret?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at Yan Yuqing and asked, "Is it important?" ”

"Decide the life and death of the Wu family." Yan Yuqing said calmly.

If those two secret arts were to be present, they would definitely cause a struggle between the forces of all sides, and the Wu clan who owned them would become their common enemy. Therefore this matter cannot be spread out, and only the dead and themselves are the most reliable.

This is the reason why Wu Yiqun and Wu Jinsong want Yan Yuqing and Wu Qingzhi to marry.

Because Yan Yuqing, as his own person, is far more valuable than a dead person.

It's a battle to the death. There is no third option.

"Then kill Wu Qingzhi, and then I'll go and negotiate conditions with Wu Jinsong." Xuanyuan Jue sat on the wedding stool, and after the old god finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

Yan Yuqing's eyes widened when he listened.

"Can't you catch it?" She couldn't bear to ask.

"Can you forget that secret, then?" Xuanyuan Jue asked back.

Yan Yuqing shook his head.

Xuanyuan Jue said with a straight face: "Then completely break the Wu family's thoughts." Wu Qingzhi's death should give them a wake-up call to the Wu family. ”

After saying that, Xuanyuan Jue whispered to the outside, and more than a dozen parts went into the distance.

Almost as soon as the incense was burned, the sound of screaming and wailing came from the front hall.

Yan Yuqing listened to the increasingly loud and exhausted shouts, and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just kill Wu Qingzhi?" Why is the sound so miserable. ”

"There are always disobedient or followers, so just be patient. Later, Wu Jinsong will come to us. After Xuanyuan Jue finished speaking, he continued to taste the tea with determination.

Almost half an hour later, the voice in the front hall became weaker and weaker, and Wu Jinsong finally came.

As soon as he entered the house, he didn't say a word, bowed down and said, "Please also ask the prince to let the Wu family go." ”

Xuanyuan Jue glanced at Yan Yuqing and said, "This is your business, do you have any plans?" ”

When Yan Yuqing heard this, he nodded and said to Xuanyuan Jue: "You help me go outside the door to have a look, I want to talk to him alone." ”

Xuanyuan Jue didn't say much, and went out with his sword.

"Wu's secret art is related to the security of the country, and I can't tell you everything." Wang Yanqing opened his mouth lightly and hit the nail on the head.

Hearing this, Wu Jinsong's face instantly became gloomy and terrifying.

Yan Yuqing glanced at him and continued, "Why don't we make a deal." I can tell you about the art of making the sleeve armor, and maybe I can make the Wu family a royal official and merchant of the imperial court. However, the steel knife is a sharp weapon of soldiers, which can shake the country's capital. ”

Yan Yuqing said sincerely, she looked directly at Wu Jinsong with her eyes and said: "This secret technique was created by the ancestors of the Wu family, and the imperial court will never treat you badly." When the crown prince ascends the throne, I can allow you the hereditary title of Wu family, which is supreme honor. ”

Hereditary titles, grace for future generations. Although there is still a feud against the murderer ahead, Wu Jinsong also knows that it is the Wu family who is at fault first, and Yan Yuqing, the secret technique of making the sleeve armor, also promised to tell him. The identity of officials and businessmen will make the Wu family stand out among the squires and officials in Xiangyang and become a more prominent scholar.

It was already evening when Yan Yuqing followed Xuanyuan Jue back to the Assassin's Mansion, and Du Xiansi specially held a banquet for her. Yan Yuqing didn't have the heart to participate.

After knowing that Yan Dian and Yin Feng were fine, Yan Yuqing sat on the edge of the bed and silently wrote the words he saw in the tomb that day.

In the middle of the night, under Qingzhu's repeated urging, Yan Yuqing was able to fall asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Yan Yuqing called Yin Feng and asked him to hand over a letter to Wu Jinsong.

It was a letterhead detailing the art of smelting steel and making sleeve armor, and I hoped that he would accept it when he saw it, and that he would be safe from then on.

In the capital, the second prince Xuanyuan Gong paced back and forth in the room with a secret letter of urgency, which mentioned: Yan Yuqing and Prince Xuanyuan Jue obtained the secret technique of smelting steel knives and sleeve armor in Xiangyang. This is tantamount to a serious threat to his road to succession.

The green pine mine has long been repaired, and the carved turquoise is transported to the backyard of the Thorn History Mansion every day, and the Jiang Nushi registers them one by one, and then submits them to Yan Yuqing for verification.

The registered green pines will be shipped to the capital in batches after Yan Yuqing has appraised them. Pick out the good ones and put them into Liu's Golden Building to sell, and let the gold shopkeeper resell them to the shops in the surrounding areas of the capital.

As soon as Yan Yuqing put down the abacus in his hand and was about to go back to the house, he heard Yin Feng come in and hurriedly said, "County Lord, King Yun has been arrested by the second prince Xuanyuan Gong." ”

Xuanyuan Jue frowned and glanced at Yan Yuqing, then glared at Zhang Da fiercely, and said angrily: "Panic, what kind of system." Yan Xuan has his own Yan family's protection, so he doesn't have to worry. ”

Although Xuanyuan Jue said this to Zhang Da, who had just come in, he actually comforted Yan Yuqing.

I saw Yan Yuqing's hands clenched into fists, his body tense and straight, standing in place, motionless.

Xuanyuan Jue looked uncomfortable, and was thinking about how to comfort her, when he saw Yan Yuqing raise his eyes to look at him, and asked with a deep gaze: "Please tell me bluntly, are those two thousand parts the most of our Yan Clan?" ”

Xuanyuan Jue listened, and bowed his head in silence.

Seeing this, Yan Yuqing took a deep breath, and said with tears in his eyes: "I must rescue my father." ”

After that, he whispered a few words to Jiang Nushi and walked towards the front hall.

This is the first time that Yan Yuqing has officially summoned these two thousand parts.

She ordered Jiang Nushi to leave the carving master of the green pine mine and a hundred shipping masters, and the rest gathered in the front hall.

The crowd filled the entire front hall, and there were many people who couldn't stand and gathered at the door of the front hall.

Although there were a large number of people, they stood in an orderly manner.

Yan Yuqing looked around and said with grief: "The second prince Xuanyuan Gong took advantage of the prince's departure from Beijing and arrested my father. ”

After Yan Yuqing finished speaking, the following parts began to be discussed. They are all members of the Yan family, and they have been following Yan Xuan and Yan Dian as father and son, not to mention their feelings.

When Yan Yuqing saw that most of the people in the trilogy had already shown grief and indignation, he continued: "I want to select a hundred people and ride back to the capital overnight tonight."

A hundred horses! That's not a small amount, where did you get it? Everyone looked at each other.

Yan Yuqing ordered Yin Feng to pick out a hundred martial arts that were acceptable, riding and shooting/accurate, and the ruthless part was on standby.

The rest of the trilogy will return to Xiangyang with Yan Yuqing, Xuanyuan Jue and others.

Zhang Da was ordered by Xuanyuan Jue to come back and forth to Yan Yuqing and said: "The girl is really clever, our prince has a few words, and Wu Jinsong's private horse breeding has been set out." ”

"Wu Jinsong raised hundreds of war horses in the village on the outskirts of the city, and their coat color was excellent. Our prince himself pressed one hundred and fifty war horses and was rushing back. That Zhang Da's eyebrows fluttered, and his eyes were full of reverence for Yan Yuqing and Xuanyuan Jue.

There are fifty more horses, which can just make the ancestral house of King Yun's Mansion safer.

When Xuanyuan Jue came back, it was already late at night.

Xuanyuan Jue said to Yan Yuqing: "This time to rescue Yan Xuan's troops, it must be few and fine, and it is best to be familiar with the environment of Zheng Mansion." I thought about it, if these tribulations of the Yan clan alarm the Zheng family, your father may be very dangerous. ”

Yan Yuqing said to Xuanyuan Jue a little anxiously: "If I promise you three hundred steel knives, are you willing to help me?" ”

Xuanyuan Jue smiled and said: "The thing has not been made yet, as soon as you open your mouth, you will allow three hundred, is this an empty glove white wolf?" ”

When Yan Yuqing heard this, he was embarrassed, his face was red, and his eyes didn't know where to look.

Xuanyuan Jue found that such Yan Yuqing, like a child, could tug at his heartstrings even more. His whole heart had already begun to float to her without fighting.

Xuanyuan Jue stared at Yan Yuqing with obsessive eyes, but his mouth followed her words and asked, "Is this knife really better than a sword?"

When Yan Yuqing heard that Xuanyuan Jue was interested in the steel knife, his eyes folded and nodded: "Of course." Even the best swords are hard to match. ”

Xuanyuan Jue listened, but smiled silently.

Yan Yuqing was really a little anxious, his previous momentum was completely defeated, and he only asked in a low voice, "Then what do you want?" ”

What do you think, these words are like spring water dripping into Xuanyuan Jue's heart, setting off layers of ripples.

He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, like a hunter, quietly waiting for his prey to approach.

Just when Yan Yuqing's tense string was about to break, Xuanyuan Jue slowly spoke: "Three hundred steel knives, if it is a wedding ceremony, I can gladly accept it." ”

When Yan Yuqing heard this, layers of ripples stirred up in his heart, and his face turned red and said secretly: Is this a courtship? Then he quickly shook his head, when is it, don't think nonsense.

One hundred and fifty secret guards were already waiting outside the Assassin's Mansion, and after Xuanyuan Jue explained a few words to them, he looked sideways at Yan Yuqing.

Yan Yuqing glanced at Xuanyuan Jue gratefully, looked back at the one hundred and fifty subordinates, and said, "This time, please wait." When this is over, I promise to give you a sharpened Uzi steel knife as a reward. ”

Although the one hundred and fifty tribesmen had never seen this kind of knife, they heard that this knife could sharpen iron like clay, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they said in unison: "Thank you, girl." ”

The group, dressed in black, rode horses and disappeared into the night.

Yan Yuqing had just called Yin Feng aside and told him about the plan, his eyes were full of surprise.

These one hundred and fifty people obviously went back to protect King Yun's Mansion, but in fact, dozens of people were selected to secretly save Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan was locked up in the private prison of Zheng Mansion by Zheng Jian, and he didn't know if he was tortured.

Yan Yuqing finally instructed Yin Feng that after rescuing Yan Xuan, Zheng Jian must be killed.

These must be done before Xuanyuan Jue and Yan Yuqing return to Xiangyang, and they must be done without leakage.

Anyway, it's going to change, so it's better to let the two of them wake up sooner.

King Yun, these little ones dare to act rashly? That's at a price!

On the third day after departure, Yan Yuqing received a secret letter from the capital......
