When Xiao Minglang saw Huayan leave, he also came down from the eaves, and when he was about to return to the banquet, a small guard hurriedly came from the shadows, he respectfully handed over the envelope in his hand, and said, "Master Jia, let me give you this letter." ”

Xiao Minglang hesitated slightly, he took the letter and looked down at the envelope roughly, and when he looked up and was about to ask, there was no trace of the person, he opened the letter, and saw, "Brother Lang, we will swim together in the lake tomorrow morning, and we will discuss something." Down, Jia Yingtai. ”

Xiao Minglang put the letter away after reading it, and looked around at the figure of the person just now, surprised that Jia Yingtai's informant could infiltrate the royal family. Seeing that there was no trace, I had to return the same way. The banquet lasted for three shifts that night before it ended.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Minglang arrived as promised. From a distance, I saw a handsome man in a dark blue brocade robe, standing by the lake, looking into the distance. The dark green mountains and blue water reflect the delicate man into the painting. Xiao Minglang stepped forward happily and said, "The Yingtai brothers are so early. ”

Huayan turned around, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Brother Lang, don't come unharmed." After a few months of farewell in Beijing, what new things did Brother Lang encounter? Interesting people? ”

Xiao Minglang said with a smile: "Peicheng and his party have indeed gained a lot. Gonzo, I'll tell you as much as you want. ”

"What are you two talking about, it's so lively." Liu Che'er jumped down from the coming carriage and walked with a smile.

Xiao Minglang turned around and leaned over to salute, "Lord Wang." ”

Huayan also gave a salute and said, "The prince was invited by me, and today the three of us will swim together in this lake, and by the way, we will dredge up the news." She turned to the boat moored by the lake, and made a gesture of please, "You two, please!" ”

The three of them boarded the boat, waited for the boatman at the stern, and rowed their oars into the middle of the lake.

Huayan invited Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang to sit down, and poured tea for the two of them, "The younger brother heard that the trip of the two Peicheng was successfully completed, and the younger brother is here to congratulate a cup." After Hua Yan finished speaking, he drank the tea in his hand.

Xiao Minglang raised the glass, sniffed it, and said, "Why didn't Brother Yingtai bring wine?" How to enjoy this tea? ”

Huayan smiled: "Brother Lang, don't blame, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if I get too drunk and fall into the lake, that's the sin of the younger brother." Just in case, I didn't bring it. When Brother Lang returns, why not go to me and get a few altars. ”

Liu Che'er shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "You underestimate him, how can he not get drunk." ”

Hua Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is the younger brother who has neglected to observe." Another day, I will set up a few tables of banquets to make amends to Brother Lang. ”

Xiao Minglang casually brushed the hair blocking his forehead and asked, "Brother Yingtai called me and others to come here, what is the matter with us?" ”

Huayan put down the cup in his hand, made a decision, and said, "At the wedding banquet of the eldest prince yesterday, did you find that there was a missed table?" ”

Liu Che'er thought about it for a while, didn't know what to do, and asked: "All the important ministers of the imperial court are present, I don't know who the Yingtai brothers are talking about?" ”

Xiao Minglang said suddenly: "Zhu Chaoshi." ”

Hua Yan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's him." In terms of position, he is also among the invitees. Do you know why he didn't come? ”

Liu Che'er continued to ask: "Is there another reason?" ”

Hua Yan smiled mysteriously, "A person with a good reputation like him will not be easily absent from this kind of banquet." Unless someone is secretly operating, he will not be allowed to participate. ”

Liu Che'er was a little anxious when she heard this, and couldn't wait to say: "The Yingtai brothers don't sell the guanzi, just talk to us." ”

Hua Yan continued: "The reason for the matter is only because of a horse. Everyone knows that General Zhu loves horseback archery on weekdays, and he loves BMWs. Therefore, a spacious stable was set up ten miles south of the city, and dozens of hard-to-find BMW horses were raised. And coincidentally, General Xie Hui's stable is also nearby. One day, the horse breeders of the two families herded the horses out of the cage at the same time, but when the horses returned to the cage, the Zhu family had one less horse. blamed the Xie family for this, thinking that the lost horse went to the Xie family's stable, the Xie family did not recognize it, and the attendants of the two families quarreled. Although the two masters did not come forward to solve the problem, because of General Zhu's casual complaint, it reached General Xie's ears, and he was angry and did not attend General Zhu's birthday banquet. The two families had a disagreement over a horse. ”

Xiao Minglang also smiled when he heard this: "Xie Hui has always been close to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince never asks about his decision. The emperor asked about General Zhu that day, and he was also casually taken by Mrs. Zhang. ”

"That's right, General Xie really annoyed General Zhu this time, but he only dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, isn't this the opportunity I am waiting for?" Huayan looked at Liu Che'er and said carefully.

Liu Che'er suddenly understood, "In this way, it is a good opportunity for me to wait!" I persuaded him to come into my tent and deal with the common enemy. ”

Hua Yan nodded and smiled: "That's right, I have arranged a place for the prince, and it is in my Forgotten Dust Building." Rest assured, my territory is the safest. ”

"The British and Taiwan brothers are doing things, and this king is naturally relieved." Liu Che'er said.

She looked at Xiao Minglang again and said, "It's just that when talking to General Zhu, Brother Lang can't show up." I'm afraid that he will change his hexagram and be caught by him. ”

"I understand." Xiao Minglang then said, "It's just that I have a question that needs to be answered by the British and Taiwan brothers." ”

Hua Yan poured a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "Brother Lang, just ask." ”

Xiao Minglang got up and lay on his side on the side of the boat, looked at her with a lazy smile and said, "Didn't General Zhu's lost horse Mo enter the stable of the Yingtai brothers?" ”
