Chapter 086: General Qin
Perhaps because of the war, the capital has a bit more of a somber and solemn flavor than in the past.
Although Yun Yao had never walked in the streets of the capital in person, in the Ning Palace in the past, she had also heard from the palace maids and eunuchs of the Procurement Division about the prosperity outside. But now, in the bustle at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is a trace of turmoil and unease.
Yun Yao put down the curtain and was still silent, but she was lamenting for the people in her heart.
The people of the capital are still so frightened, but what about the people who have come north to experience the war? corpses are strewn all over the field, displaced, and their own blood and tears have fulfilled the ambition of the superiors.
When the carriage traveled slowly and stopped again, he heard the coachman say respectfully outside: "My lord, General Qin's mansion has arrived." ”
When Wang Ji heard this, he took the lead in getting out of the car, signaling Gu Qingming and Yun Yao to sit in the carriage and not move, and wait for him to arrange it first, and then let them get out of the car.
Regarding Wang Ji's behavior, Gu Qingming expressed his understanding. After all, their current identity is the Beidi people, and the people in the capital come and go, if Qin Yuankai is seen blatantly interacting with the Beidi people, I am afraid that without King Yi coming in, the people of the capital and some patriotic soldiers will be the first to attack.
Wang Ji walked up the bluestone steps and knocked on the door, and in a few moments, the door opened from the inside.
When the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion saw Wang Ji, he arched his hand and asked, "Why is Lord Wang here today?"
"Steward Qin, there are a few people in the carriage, and their identities are quite special......" Wang Ji did not follow the butler in, but leaned over and said something in the butler's ear.
But seeing that the butler's face suddenly became solemn, he glanced up at Wang Ji before saying, "Lord Wang, please wait a moment, Rong Xiao's first go to ask the general for instructions." ”
As soon as the words fell, Steward Qin closed the door and went to report to Qin Yuankai.
After about two teas, the door opened again, and the Qin housekeeper came out of it, took the two people to change the coachman of the carriage, and then drove the car towards the back door of the Qin Mansion, but Wang Ji followed the housekeeper into the front door and went directly to the study.
Qin Yuankai was waiting in the study, and when he heard the housekeeper come to report just now, he frowned, always feeling that something was wrong. But he did have a deal with Bol Bing, and Ge Shuying and the others were indeed brought in by him, so he didn't know where the uneasiness in his heart came from.
Soon, Steward Qin and Wang Ji appeared in the study.
"The lower official pays a visit to General Qin. Wang Ji bowed.
"Lord Wang doesn't need to be polite, you tell General Ben how those Beidi people found you. Qin Yuankai waved his hand, said, and then ordered the housekeeper to serve tea.
The two sat down in the study, and Wang Ji opened his mouth to talk about what happened, but he concealed the gold, silver and jewelry he embezzled, and also concealed that he wanted to leave Xinglong County, and only told Gu Qingming what he came to say to him.
Qin Yuankai asked a few more questions, and there was no flaw, and when he was about to speak, the housekeeper came in again, put the tea in his hand and put it in the hands of the two of them, and then reported:
"General, the people in the carriage have come in through the back door, and no one has seen them, does the general want to see them now?"
"Take them to the side hall, and I'll go over later. Qin Yuankai commanded.
"Yes, General. The steward took the order and left.
Qin Yuankai said some more words to Wang Ji, which was nothing more than telling Wang Ji to keep this matter secret and not to leak it casually, after getting Wang Ji's repeated assurances and swearing a poisonous oath, Qin Yuankai was relieved.
"Today's matter is hard for you, you can rest assured, when King Yi's soldiers and horses are repulsed, this general will definitely report to the Queen Mother and give you an official and a knight. At that time, you will not be a small county guard of Xinglong County, and Jing Zhaoyin's position will be yours. Qin Yuankai made a promise.
"Thank you to the general, it is the honor of the general to do things for the general, and the general will never give up. After a slip of the whiskers, Wang Ji said goodbye.
Qin Yuankai didn't leave him either, so he directly let him go. After Wang Ji left, he hurriedly returned to his mansion, packed up his soft and baggage, took a few reliable people, and left unconsciously.
In Wang Ji's opinion, no matter who is in charge of the capital in the end, whether it is the emperor or King Yi, after all the dust settles, he will not have a good life, King Yi will definitely not let him go, and he got so many treasures but did not hand them over to Qin Yuankai, if Qin Yuankai knew, he would definitely not let him be any Jing Zhaoyin.
Therefore, while there is no east window incident, it is better to leave early.
At this time, in the side hall of General Qin's Mansion, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming were waiting. The subordinates of the Qin Mansion served them tea, but they didn't drink a sip, firstly because they were afraid that there was something wrong with the tea, and secondly, because the Beidi people did not like to drink tea. In order to avoid revealing the horse's feet, they turned a blind eye to this superior Tieguanyin.
What they didn't know was that Qin Yuankai had been secretly observing their every move since Wang Ji left.
After Yun Yao sat in the side hall for a while, she got up a little impatiently, walked outside and said to the little guy: "What does General Qin mean? This girl came all the way from Beidi here, why hasn't he come forward? Is he looking down on us Beidi?"
These few sentences have learned the tone of Ge Shuying's speech, especially the sentence "this girl", which is Ge Shuying's mantra.
Yun Yao knew that Beidi people were impulsive in nature, and it was absolutely impossible to wait quietly for so long, after all, Beidi people were not so polite in their hearts, they had always been simple and direct, how rude and how to come.
That's why she has this temper tantrum.
And what is unexpected is that after Yun Yao lost his temper, Qin Yuankai really appeared, and everything was like calculating the time. This kind of realization made Yun Yao and Gu Qingming glance at each other, and they knew in their hearts that this Qin Yuankai must be watching them nearby, otherwise he would not have appeared immediately after she finished saying this.
Yun Yao couldn't help but sigh, this Qin Yuankai was really cunning.
"Miss Geshu, I'm really sorry, General Ben is busy with official business, and I neglected you, and I ask Miss Geshu to forgive me. Qin Yuankai arched his hand at Yun Yao and said very sincerely.
Yun Yao waved her hand and said with displeasure on her face: "General Qin is a busy man, how dare we blame him? What's more, this girl is not a great person, she is just a messenger of His Majesty the King." ”
"Miss Geshu is too modest, and the person who can be sent to Daning as a messenger by the king of Beidi is not a small person. Qin Yuankai said, and then said casually, "Beidi King Wen Taowu is an outstanding talent, this general had the honor to fight with Beidi King not long ago, it is really hearty." I also asked Miss Geshu to say hello to the king of Beidi on behalf of the general, and the general is looking forward to learning from the king of Beidi again. ”
When the words fell, Qin Yuankai looked at Yun Yao, the smile on his face remained unchanged, as if he was waiting for something.
And when Yun Yao heard this, her mind turned back and forth, and she instantly understood Qin Yuankai's intentions, this was testing her!
Thinking of this, the displeasure on Yun Yao's face was even worse, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Are you really General Qin Yuankai?
Qin Yuankai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did Miss Geshu say this?"
"Hmph, His Majesty was injured a few years ago, and his health has not been very good in the past few years, when did he have a good fight with General Qin?" Yun Yao snorted coldly as she learned from Brother Shuying's tone.
"What Miss Geshu said is that General Ben is mistaken. Qin Yuankai immediately changed his words, and then said, "Miss Geshu is really a lover, and as a daughter's family, she came to Daning from Beidi thousands of miles away, which really made General Ben admire." However, General Ben is very curious, it has always been the Right Vanguard General Tu Wuhan who contacted General Ben before, how did he become a Geshu girl this time?"
"General Qin, it seems that you are not sincere in befriending my Beidi, my Beidi's right vanguard is General Qi Qishu, and General Tuwuhan is the left vanguard, I can't even remember this clearly, how can my king rest assured that he will make a deal with you?" Yun Yao saw through Qin Yuankai's language trap at a glance, and said sarcastically.
After a few temptations, the doubts in Qin Yuankai's heart were slightly reduced, and he was no longer so suspicious of the origin of the few people in front of him.
After all, how could Boer Bing's injury be known so clearly if it weren't for the internal personnel of Beidi? There were also the left and right pioneers of Beidi, he just mentioned it casually, but the woman in front of him could hear that something was wrong, which showed that she knew the inside of Beidi very well.
Therefore, Qin Yuankai was almost certain that the woman in front of him was indeed from Beidi.
However, he didn't know that Gu Qingming and Yun Yao had lived in the Beidi military camp for several months, and they almost knew everything about the Beidi military camp.
He had asked Bol Bing to drag Gu Qingming's return to the south, and he only thought that Bol Bing was sending troops to attack Chicheng, so that Gu Qingming had to stay in Chicheng to deal with the Beidi offensive, so he didn't expect so many things to happen in the middle.
"Miss Geshu, please calm your anger, General Ben has had a lot of things recently, and I can't remember a lot of things, I confused the names of the pioneers on the left and right of Beidi, and I also ask Miss Geshu not to be surprised. Qin Yuankai apologized, and then finally got to the point, "I don't know if Miss Geshu came to Daning this time, but what does King Beidi have to say?"
Yun Yao took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Qin Yuankai, and said, "This is the letter that my king asked this girl to hand over to you, and my king said that after reading the letter, General Qin will naturally know." ”
Qin Yuankai took the letter, opened it and looked at it, at first glance, this letter was indeed written by Boer Bing, the king of Beidi, and then he began to read the content carefully.
After Yun Yao and Gu Qingming glanced at each other, they observed Qin Yuankai's expression again, and saw that Qin Yuankai didn't notice anything unusual, so he relaxed a little, and quietly rubbed his hand on his clothes, wiping the sweat from his palm.
Of course, the letter was not written by Bo Bing himself, but was forged by Yun Yao imitating Bo Bing's handwriting.
Because when they caught Ge Shuying, the letter that was found from Ge Shuying's body wrote what Gu Qingming and Yun Yao had done in the Beidi camp. In order to prevent Qin Yuankai from deducing her identity from the content of the letter, she changed the content of this part, and only said that Gu Qingming defeated Beidi in Chicheng, and kept the question of when the million quintals of grain would be delivered.
