Song Nan's killing of Shi Lian with a cane shocked the whole city, and it was not a big deal to kill adulterous men and women with a brocade guard, but in front of everyone and Governor An Weixue almost rushed, it was a little incomprehensible to take Shi Lian's life under such great pressure.

What's more, most of the officials in the city knew that Shi Lian was the staff of King Anhua, and An Weixue also came to the rescue on the orders of King Anhua.

Some people ridiculed Song Nan's stupidity and ignorance of current affairs, what about the court officials? In Ningxia Town, Anhua Wang Zu can cover the sky with one hand, and there is a good show to watch. Some people also pinched a cold sweat for him while admiring Song Nan, so that Song Nan might not be able to live in Ningxia Town; Most people speculate that Song Nan will leave Ningxia today, unless he is a, he will definitely understand the truth that Ningxia Town cannot stay for a long time.

However, Song Nan not only did not leave, but acted more and more high-profile, before the Jinyi Wei was only stationed in the Guanxue Building, and did not swagger on the street, but now it is good, together with more than 600 Jinyi Wei Flag School, including the Thousand Households in Ningxia Town, actually swaggered to patrol the streets, under the banner of Jinyi Wei to rectify the law and order of Ningxia Town.

The big move of King Anhua, which people were expecting, was delayed, and even the governor's yamen, the general army yamen, and the town army yamen also remained silent, as if no one had any instructions for Song Nan's actions; However, everyone knew in their hearts that behind this silence, there must be a great storm brewing.

On the night of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, another spring snow fell, and an uninvited guest came to the snow viewing building. This person did not go to visit Song Nan, under the leadership of the entourage of the chief officials of the three sides, this person was led to Yang Yiqing's residence on the second floor, the two closed the door and talked secretly for half a night, and at dawn, this person left silently.

This qiē naturally can't escape Song Nan's eyes, but Yang Yiqing neither picks it out, Song Nan won't ask, Yang Yiqing recently went out of the city, and after coming back, he was a little taciturn, Song Nan also knew these things, he believed that when it was time to speak, Yang Yiqing would not keep silent.

In the early morning of the next day, before Song Nan got up, Yang Yiqing came to Song Nan's room, Song Nan yawned and looked at Yang Yiqing dressed neatly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that he hadn't slept all night.

"Lord Song, get up and go with the old man."

Song Nan asked, "Where to go?" ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Don't ask, you will know when you go, the old man has been busy for a few days, and he finally has some eyebrows, and today's matter cannot be solved unless the adult goes out, so please ask Lord Song to follow the old man." ”

Song Nan didn't ask much, quickly got up and washed, had a simple breakfast, and then boarded the carriage in civilian clothes at the request of Yang Yiqing.

After making sure that no one was following, the carriage turned east and headed all the way. In the carriage, Yang Yiqing told him some things about his busy work in the past few days, since that day Song Nan and Yang Yiqing talked about the King of Anhua may have bad intentions, Yang Yiqing is ready to investigate this matter well, Yang Yiqing was an official in Shaanxi in his early years, although he was later impeached and lost his office, but there are several old friends in the northwest for more than ten years, one of whom is now stationed in Guyuan A general named Peng Yue.

Yang Yiqing also did a lot of screening very carefully, and then decided to go out of Ningxia Town to Guyuan to see Peng Yue, not only Peng Yue had a good relationship with him back then, and he was a good official who was straightforward and upright, but also because Peng Yue had served as a deputy commander in Ningxia Town, which was the key.

After a long conversation with Peng Yue, he learned from Peng Yue that he had a good relationship with Qiu Yue, the current guerrilla general of the Ningxia General Military Office and the commander of the Ningxia avant-garde, and Qiu Yue was now stationed in the Yuquan camp west of Ningxia Town with a guard of men and horses, guarding more than ten passes and forts at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain.

Yang Yiqing vaguely revealed some suspicions about the King of Anhua to Peng Yue, Peng Yue was shocked and immediately understood Yang Yiqing's intentions, and volunteered to visit Qiu Yue, test Qiu Yue for Yang Yiqing, and figure out how many soldiers and horses in Ningxia Town that the King of Anhua had held in his hands, so as to judge whether the King of Anhua was unhappy again. Last night, it was Peng Yue who came to Guanxue Tower, he went to Yuquan Camp and passed by Guanxue Tower, and Yang Yiqing described in detail the experience of meeting Qiu Yue, so he had today's trip.

Song Nan said: "So where are we going?" ”

Yang Yiqing said: "We are going to see Qiu Yue, according to Peng Yue, Qiu Yue does not seem to have thrown himself into the arms of King Anhua, but King Anhua has hinted several times, and yesterday King Anhua invited Qiu Yue back to Ningxia Town for a banquet, and mentioned this matter again. ”

Song Nan frowned and said: "It is still inconclusive whether Qiu Yue is the person of King Anhua, what is the significance of today's meeting?" Will you tempt him with words? This is suspicious of startling the snake. ”

Yang Yiqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, this meeting was agreed by Qiu Yue, we want to test him, he actually wants to test us, with Peng Yue's judgment of Qiu Yue, he will never throw himself to King Anhua; Qiu Yue asked you to go by name, so I have to ask you to go with me today. ”

Song Nan nodded, this trip is a bit risky, in the current situation, he is the target of everyone, maybe this Qiu Yue has other intentions. But what Yang Yiqing said was certain, of course Song Nan believed in Yang Yiqing's judgment, after all, the sea has been up and down for decades, although people are pedantic, they still have some skills, let alone make senseless risks in this situation.

On a remote street in Dongcheng, the shops on both sides of the street were also in a depression, and the carriage stopped in front of a teahouse with a black tarpaulin, Yang Yiqing and Song Nan got out of the carriage one after another, and looked left and right, the long street in the heavy snow was empty.

The shopkeeper was napping against the stove, and when he saw a customer, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Guest officer, do you want to eat tea or drink?" ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Is there an Uncle Qiu here?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's in, in the private room inside." Two please. ”

Song Nan and Yang Yiqing walked forward, passed a small courtyard, and walked to a small house with a curtain at the back, Song Nan saw a slight sound of footsteps around the courtyard in the corner of his eyes, and there were also several pairs of eyes watching in the cracks behind the windows and doors of several surrounding houses, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang.

"Uncle Qiu is inside, please come in." The shopkeeper lifted the curtain and let Song Nan and Yang Yiqing in, put a pot of hot tea on the table and left with interest.

The room was pitch black, and when he entered the house from a bright place in the snow, he couldn't see the situation in the house clearly, Song Nan squinted his eyes, and after a while, he regained his eyesight, and then he saw a middle-aged man in a gray jacket and fur hat sitting in the corner of the tea table, and the person was looking at him with blazing eyes.

When Song Nan first came to Ningxia Town, he met Qiu Yue once, it was at the banquet that received the wind, and he also took Zhou Dong in public and gave the officials of Ningxia a dismount; Qiu Yue was also present that time, but he was wearing armor, sitting quietly in the corner and not talking much, which did not impress Song Nan, and he changed his outfit at this moment, and he almost didn't recognize it.

Qiu Yue stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Yang, Lord Song, the lower officials are polite." ”

Song Nan and Yang Yiqing hugged their fists and returned the salute, Qiu Yue stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down and said: "For the sake of caution, I chose this tea house in the middle of nowhere, which is too simple, I hope the two adults will forgive me." ”

Song Nan said: "It's always good to be careful, are those people outside your people?" ”

Qiu Yue was a little surprised, and then nodded and said, "It's my subordinate, and there is no malice, just in case." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will bring the guards of the palace to arrest you?" ”

Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "To be honest, I was indeed a little scared a few days ago, but now I am not afraid at all, but Lord Song is afraid that I am waiting here with the guards of the palace." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, knowing each other, each was afraid that the other party would be unfavorable to them, which just showed that they were not the prince's people, and a subtle sense of closeness arose.

Qiu Yue clapped his hands gently, and four men suddenly appeared behind the curtain in the corner of the house, startling Yang Yiqing and Song Nan, who didn't find these four people in the house just now.

Qiu Yue smiled apologetically, turned his head and ordered: "Take someone to the door of the store to guard, no one is allowed to come in, if there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately." The men next door and under the porch were also withdrawn. ”

A man agreed in a low voice, and silently bowed to Song Nan and Yang Yiqing and went out. The footsteps under the corridor were silent.

"Lord Yang, is Peng Yue gone?" Qiu Yue broke the silence and asked.

"In the early hours of the morning, I have already left the town and returned to Guyuan." Yang Yiqing said: "General Qiu, the intention of me and Lord Song to come here today is ......"

"Lord Yang, there is no need to say more, Xia Guan is very clear in his heart, Xia Guan has long wanted to ask the two adults to get together, but for many reasons I have to be cautious, what do the two adults have to ask today, what do I want to know, but please ask, Xia Guan knows everything." Qiu Yue said in a low voice.

Song Nan smiled and nodded: "Happy, General Qiu is quick to talk, we won't go around the bend, General Qiu, the question I want to know the most is, what does the King of Anhua want to do, can you give me an answer according to your judgment?" ”
