At the same time that the Son of Heaven returned to the dormitory, Jiang Hongwen, the elder of the seven clans of the Jiang family, also quietly withdrew from the banquet and left from the side of the main hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the side of the avenue outside the inner city, there were many carriages parked, all of which were the frames of the nobles who participated in the banquet tonight, and Jiang Hongwen walked over. The figure of Deacon Jiang Yi walked out among the many waiting subordinates and guided Jiang Hongwen into a gorgeous carriage.

"Did the clan elder go back so early?" Jiang Yi said with a smile: "Usually, don't you have to accompany a few adults of the Feng family to drink until late at night?"

"Let's go back first, I still have something to do for you to go to the southeast district. Jiang Hongwen put on a comfortable posture and instructed lightly: "Let's go." ”

Jiang Yi waved his whip, and the two tall horses screamed twice, and walked towards the northeast aristocratic district of Windy City. The tall frame moved slowly, and the exquisite decorations on the carriage collided in the night breeze, rippling with a beautiful sound, which gained the envy of pedestrians on the road.

Jiang Hongwen squinted his eyes in the carriage to recuperate, and soon the carriage arrived at the gate of the Jiang family's mansion, and Jiang Yi opened the curtain for him intimately: "Clan Elder, here, what do you want to tell me?"

"Oh, you go to the southeast region to find Jiang Shangyu, and say that at today's dinner, the Son of Heaven learned that after the Qi family attacked the Jiang family, they swallowed the Sui Gong, and they were very dissatisfied, and they may have to punish the Qi family heavily. Let him reveal the news to the young man named Qi Ming who came to the national capital with him, and let them discuss it on their own. Before Jiang Hongwen got out of the car, he explained casually, and after thinking about it, he reminded again: "It's good for you to go alone, don't bring other entourage." ”

"Yes, clan elder. Jiang Yi lowered his head and responded, made a bitter face and said to Jiang Hongwen: "Clan elder, that Jiang Shangyu's temper is too hard, and every time he goes over, he has to play prestige to the little one." ”

Jiang Hongwen kicked Jiang Yi with a smile: "Just for you to cheat and play tricks, master, I don't see how easy you use it, can I still tell you everything?" If you don't want to go, then I will call Jiang to go with me after entering the house, and you can go and rest." ”

"Clan elder, the little one is joking with you, I'll go and I'll go, and the clan elder told me to finish it even if I have my liver and brain. Jiang Yi lowered his head and bowed, like a pug, and the old Jiang Hongwen of the Seven Clans laughed.

"Then you go, do it well, and it will be good for you to turn back. Since you know that I often lift you up, you have to show the spirit to do a good job for the Jiang family. Didn't you mention to someone at the beginning of the month that you wanted to build a house in the southeastern civilian area? Jiang Hongwen smiled darkly, ignored Jiang Yi after speaking, and went into Jiang's house alone.

Jiang Yimu sent the elders of the Seven Clans into the house, removed the frame from the horse, and arranged for the subordinates to stop at the steward's office. He also tied one horse to the stake in front of the house, and sent the other horse to the stable with his own hands. Then he turned back to the front of the house, untied the horse that had just been bolted, lifted his right foot, and rode on.

This is a horse from the West, very generous, the average family has only heard of it, the ordinary nobles have only seen it, and the top nobles can ride it. Jiang Yi rode on this precious horse, and couldn't help but flutter in his heart, thinking that he must go to the compound of Jiang Shangyu and the rest of the people to put on a good show of prestige.

It was the night wind that crossed several intersections from the aristocratic quarters, and soon arrived at the compound where the Rudi people had settled in the civilian quarters. Compared to the neighbors who quietly turned off the lights around them, the lights in the compound were conspicuous in the dark.

Hirata, who was reincarnated here from the main world, has never been accustomed to going to bed early, so recently even his party with Rudi has learned to sleep late with him, so that when it is time to hold the lamp, there are no candles and kerosene in this compound, and many rooms are lit with lights.

The samurai guarding the door is Ning Yun, a man with superb martial arts, who has always carried the most tiring work by himself, and as the captain of the samurai, he always takes the lead.

Jiang Yi is also an acquaintance to Ning Yun, after all, when the people of Rudi arrived in the national capital of Windy City, the first situation was created by this person. Seeing Jiang Yi descend from a tall horse arrogantly, Ning Yuncai casually bowed his hand and saluted: "Deacon Jiang doesn't know what happened when he came here late at night?

Jiang Yi raised his head, like a proud rooster. "Our clan elder just brought a big news from the dinner of the Son of Heaven, asking me to talk to Jiang Shangyu Gongzi. Oh, by the way, Qi Minggongzi also wants to listen to it. ”

"Okay, I'll call Jiang Shangyu Gongzi and Qi Minggongzi. Ning Yun opened the door and invited Jiang Yi in. He was a little laughed and cried by Jiang Yi's so-called pride, as a Rudi person, he couldn't feel the so-called majesty of the Jiang family in Windy City, he only felt that the other party was really arrogant.

"Okay, do you have a clean corner in your compound, I put this flying cloud horse from the west is very delicate and clean. Jiang Yi said as he handed the horse rope in his hand to Ning Yun, treating him as if he were a subordinate. Ning Yun has a generous and open-minded personality, and he doesn't want to worry about Jiang Yi, so he just pulled a servant from his side, instructed him to tie the horse, and led Jiang Yi into the main house.

It just so happened that Jiang Shangyu and Qi Ming were discussing something in the same room. The two of them saw Ning Yun, who was guarding the door, come in, and also stood up, and then saw Jiang Yi behind Ning Yun.

Jiang Yi just arched his hand, with a casual attitude, and then said in a loud voice: "Jiang Gongzi, Qi Gongzi, tonight the Son of Heaven has a routine banquet to discuss the nobles, and there is a big news about Rudi. I think there are no nobles in Rudi to attend the dinner tonight, and the news has not yet come out, and the elders of the seven clans of my family heard the news tonight, and they didn't even drink wine, so they immediately called me to come over and inform you. ”

"I'm tired of Deacon Jiang, I'm here at night, I'll let people serve tea, Deacon, please sit down and talk slowly. Jiang Shangyu said politely.

"Well, if you have something to say after a sip of tea, don't be surprised, don't be surprised, say so loudly in the middle of the night, the people in the noisy compound don't care, it's not good to quarrel with the neighbors. Qi Ming said angrily, he had always been unaccustomed to Jiang Yi's actions and character.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's really important news, and I was emotional for a while. Jiang smiled disapprovingly. In fact, he deliberately said it loudly, originally wanting to let everyone else in Rudi listen to what the Son of Heaven had expressed, so that the hearts of the team in Rudi would fluctuate.

"Please tell the deacon. The attendant had already brought a cup of hot tea, Jiang Shangyu made an inviting gesture and said to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi didn't look at the cup of tea, and only said according to Jiang Hongwen's instructions: "The clan elder said tonight that the Son of Heaven was very dissatisfied with Rudi at the dinner, and after the Qi family annexed the Jiang family in Rudi, he did not pay the Son of Heaven according to the annual tribute of the two families in previous years, but only paid according to the share of the Qi family in the past. The Son of Heaven thinks that the Qi family is disrespectful, and it seems that he not only wants the Qi family to pay the Jiang family's share, but also has to pay another fine to set an example. ”

What Jiang Yi said was called an eyebrow dance, and he couldn't wait for Qi Ming to bow down the next moment, begging him to deliver a message to the elders of the Seven Clans and let the elders of the Seven Clans intercede for the Qi family.

"It's a nuisance. Jiang Shangyu and Qi Ming glanced at each other, and secretly exchanged views in their hearts. The two naturally knew that there was something strange about this matter, why did the Son of Heaven suddenly pay attention to the remote Rudi, and why did he say that he wanted the Qi family to be fined?

"The Qi family's annual tribute has already been paid in advance before the war, why do you have to make up it afterwards, even if you make it up again, it will be next year. Qi Ming was a little puzzled, but he didn't say it.

"The deacon came here to tell me this important news, and my brothers are very grateful, and I think Hirata must have thought the same thing. Jiang Shangyu said thoughtfully. "Such a big event, I think Teacher Hirata will definitely have a decision, I and a few others will go to ask the teacher, the deacon will take a break here, and Ning Yun will accompany us for us. ”

Jiang Yi couldn't say anything in the second half of this statement, so he had to reluctantly say: "The clan elder also ordered, if you have no way after discussion, you can ask him to turn around." ”

After speaking, Jiang Yi left in a gloomy manner, not shaking into a majestic demeanor, and feeling very disappointed.
