Chapter 116
night
At this time, it is almost winter, and the frontier is even colder.
The cold wind blew across the land, the bonfire was reflected on everyone's face, and everyone was holding a wine bowl with pride.
Leng Sichen sat in the chief, one hand supporting his head and looking at the people laughing wantonly, and people kept coming to toast and thank him.
After Leng Sichen drank a few glasses, he pushed it on the grounds that he was unwell.
He really thinks it's not interesting.
If it weren't for Xiaoqing's absence, Leng Sichen would definitely not appear at this farewell banquet.
Just when he was bored, Eleven came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening to this, Leng Sichen still maintained his original posture, looking careless.
Leng Sichen said: "General Li, please thank the soldiers for this king, let them have a good time." This king still has some things, so let's go first. β
General Li said, "Yes." β
General Li just saw what Eleven said in Leng Sichen's ear with a bad face, and he was worried that it was a big deal, so he didn't stop it again.
When he saw Leng Sichen leaving, he asked what was wrong, and General Li had to explain: "Lord Chen has left in advance, so that everyone can have fun." β
The soldiers were relieved.
After Leng Sichen returned to the camp tent, he said, "Are you sure?" β
The serious face and the casual appearance just now are almost like two people.
Eleven said: "I'm sure, but I didn't find the body, so I can't tell who killed it." β
Leng Sichen nodded and said, "You go and see what traces you can find, and then go back to the imperial city directly after you finish." β
Eleven said: "Master, don't you wait for Madame?" β
Leng Sichen said: "Madam? Isn't Madame in the royal palace? β
Eleven was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Leng Sichen meant.
Leng Sichen turned around and put the letter into the lamp and burned it to ashes.
He wanted to see who was pretending to be a ghost.
After the eleventh left, Leng Sichen ordered all the soldiers to set off the day after tomorrow and return to the imperial city.
The holy decree has been issued, and if you don't go back, you have to go back!
Otherwise, Leng Shaoming would have a reason to "punish him".
Chenwang's Mansion
Cold Shadow took a small note from the pigeon's leg and walked to the door of Meiki's room.
Mei Ji opened the door and said, "Cold Shadow? What's wrong? β
Han Ying said: "Let's go in and talk about it." β
Mei Ji nodded, looked around, and made sure that there was no one, so she let Hanying into the house, and said, "What's wrong?" β
Hanying showed her the note and said, "The master is coming back soon." β
After Han Ying waited for Mei Ji to finish reading, he said: "The spies in the palace have come to report, Leng Shaoming and Wang Qinghan have completely torn their faces, although Lord Wang is on our side, but he only has Wang Qinghan's daughter after all, and there is no guarantee that he will defect in order to protect his daughter."
Mei Ji said: "Lord Wang has a very high prestige in the court, and Wang Qinghan has a phoenix seal, so it is indeed a plan to win them over. However, it was because of her husband that Wang Qinghan was jealous, and it was inevitable that she was unwilling. β
Han Ying said: "As long as there are enough conditions, there is no need to worry that she will not agree." β
Mei Ji shook her head and said, "No, you don't know women too well, jealousy can make a woman do a lot of crazy things, but like Wang Qinghan, she will never agree to cooperate with her rival, although this rival is her own." β
The Shadow Ghost said, "What about you? β
Mei Ji was stunned, didn't she talk about how to win people over? How did it get around her?
Han Ying noticed his gaffe, coughed, and said: "No matter how much Lord Wang hurts his daughter, he will not violate morality, he is on our side for the time being, and the others will wait for the master to come back, mainly Wang Qinghan, she is a good candidate to solve Leng Shaoming." β
Mei Ji went down the steps he gave, lay on the table and said, "Hey, why hasn't the master come back, why hasn't Leng Shaoming been killed?" β
Han Ying said: "When the master and wife come back, Leng Shaoming will be finished." β
At this time, they didn't know that Leng Sichen and Li Ziqing had been back together for a long time, and there were some small setbacks in the middle.
Han Ying sneaked into Lord Wang's study at night, when Lord Wang had just finished eating and was about to go to the study to read and practice calligraphy, when he pushed open the door, he saw a person standing at the desk.
When Lord Wang went to the palace, he saw a cold shadow.
After the king told the little man outside that there was nothing important to disturb him, he quickly closed the door, raised his hand to Hanying, and asked him to sit down.
Han Ying nodded, sat opposite Lord Wang, and said straight to the point: "Lord Wang, the master is coming back soon." β
Lord Wang nodded and said: "Now the court is in chaos, and the current saint does not care about the government and politics, and is winning the hearts of the people all day long, and the border is constantly in turmoil, if no one comes out to preside over the overall situation, the country is in danger!"
Hankage smiled and didn't express an opinion.
He didn't think it was a beautiful errand.
Leng Shaoming made the court into a miasma, naturally he cleaned it up by himself, so that the master would not help him clean up his mess.
Seeing Han Ying, Lord Wang didn't want to talk about it, so he could only change the topic: "When will the prince return to the imperial city, what are the arrangements?" β
Han Ying said: "If it's fast, it's about a month, as for what the master's plans are, I can't tell you, and I don't know." β
Lord Wang understood that few people could know what Leng Sichen was thinking, and he didn't cling to this question.
Han Ying said: "I heard that there was a bit of friction between the concubine Niangniang and Leng Shaoming? β
Lord Wang said: "This ...... The official also doesn't know that the concubine hasn't been in contact with the official for a long time. As for the relationship between her and the emperor...... Wait for the official to inquire clearly, and then tell the adults. β
Hanying nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Lord Wang." β
After Han Ying finished speaking, he flashed out of Lord Wang's study.
Lord Wang took out a letter from the desk drawer, which was delivered from the palace today.
Wang Qinghan deliberately emphasized in the letter that he could not tell anyone that they were still in contact, and Lord Wang concealed Han Ying.
Still, he knew, it didn't work.
According to Leng Sichen's ability, it is too simple to install people in the palace.
Lord Wang chose to stand on Leng Sichen's side precisely because of his strong ability and hope to govern the country well.
Lord Wang felt that it was necessary for him to tell his daughter not to be smart but to be mistaken by cleverness, and not to be calculated and used by others.
And Han Ying did not leave the palace as Lord Wang thought, but squatted outside Lord Wang's study, watching Lord Wang open and write letters.
Although the place where Lord Wang put the letter was very hidden, Han Ying had been familiar with the whole room long before Lord Wang came, so he found the letter without much effort.
He opened it, scanned the contents, didn't know what he saw, sneered, and put the letter back in.
A series of actions are done without me noticing.
Half a month later, Leng Sichen returned to the imperial city.
"Welcome back in triumph!" Leng Shaoming said.
At the gate of the palace, Leng Shaoming led the ministers of the court to greet Leng Sichen.
He patted Leng Sichen on the shoulder, with a happy smile on his face.
waved behind him, and the eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward and read the holy decree: "
Leng Sichen and all the generals said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Longen! β
Leng Shaoming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Huang and the generals are tired of traveling and driving, let's go back and rest first, and then go to the court after three days." β
Leng Sichen said: "Yes." β
When Leng Sichen arrived at the Chen Palace, "Li Ziqing" was waiting at the gate of the palace with Han Ying, the housekeeper and others.
"Li Ziqing" saw Leng Sichen from a distance, and as soon as he approached, he stepped forward, and everyone behind him saluted.
Leng Sichen waved his hand and said, "Let's all go in." β
After that, he entered the palace side by side with "Li Ziqing".
Entering the study, Mei Ji tore off the human skin mask, retreated behind Leng Sichen, and stood with Han Ying.
Leng Sichen: "How did Leng Shaoming win people's hearts?" β
Cold Shadow: "Same as on the list." β
Before Leng Sichen left, he gave Han Ying a list, and the list listed people who might have been bought by Leng Shaoming, and half of these people had already been bought by Leng Shaoming.
Leng Sichen: "It's not too late to make a move if everyone is bought by Leng Shaoming." β
Leng Sichen's index finger curled up and knocked on the tableβthis was his habitual action when calculating people.
Leng Sichen: "What's going on with Wang Qinghan and Leng Shaoming?" β
Cold Shadow: "I'll have to ask her about this." β
Cold Shadow pointed at Magi.
Maggie: "Hmm...... Probably because when I entered the palace, I broke the 'good thing' between her and Leng Shaoming, and Leng Shaoming didn't care about her very much, so she hated from love and let people assassinate Leng Shaoming. β
Leng Sichen's focus is obviously not on this matter: "Did you enter the palace as Xiaoqing?" β
Magi: "Huh? Oh, yes! β
Otherwise, how could she have infiltrated the palace.
Han Ying was stunned for a while, and then understood what Leng Sichen meant.
The master is really a vinegar jar!
I even eat this vinegar!
Leng Sichen: "Who is Wang Qinghan looking for?" β
Cold Shadow: "It looks like an organization. β
Leng Sichen: "What kind of organization do you think?" β
Hanying replied truthfully, "I don't know." β
The large and small sects on the rivers and lakes say a lot and say a lot less, so it is really not an easy task to find the organization that assassinated Leng Shaoming without a clue.
Leng Sichen: "Go check." β
Cold Shadow nodded and went out.
Leng Sichen: "Mei Ji, where do you live now?" β
Maggie: "The guest room in Madame's courtyard." β
She didn't dare to sleep in Madame's room, but she couldn't expose it, so she could only live in the guest room in Madame's courtyard, and no one dared to come in anyway.
However, Madame is coming back soon, is it better for her to move out?
Thinking of this, Mei Ji said, "Master, when do you think I will move out?" β
Leng Sichen: "No, you live first and stay until Xiaoqing comes back." β
Meiji: "Ma'am, won't you come back for a while?" β
Leng Sichen was silent for a while before he said "um".
Mei Ji glanced at Leng Sichen and found that his face was not very good, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and she withdrew from the study.
As soon as she got out of the study, she saw the cold shadow leaning against the wall, looking at her.
Mei Ji walked over: "Why are you not doing something here?" β
Hanying spat out the grass in his mouth and said, "Wait for you." β
Maggie: "Wait for me?" β
