Chapter 842: Temptation

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Then what is the purpose of your visit to Shangjing this time, and what are you planning to assassinate the emperor again?"

Zhang Peng shook his head and said, "If you want to assassinate the emperor in Shangjing, it is really difficult to find an opportunity to do it, and our goal is to ...... It's King Ping!"

Shangguan Xiu almost laughed out loud, Tang Xuan was just a prince who was idle at home and had no ambitions, so what was there for him to bother to assassinate? He asked, "Why do you want to assassinate King Ping?"

Zhang Peng shook his head, saying that he didn't know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He really didn't know the specific purpose of assassinating Tang Xuan, this order was not given to him by Xin Jiyao, but by the master of the Divine Sword Gate.

He is now attached to Tang Yu, and many times, he also has to obey the command and control of others, and the master of the Divine Sword Gate is by Tang Yu's side, but he is a pivotal person, and he can't help but obey his orders.

"You don't know?"

"I really don't know. ”

Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan glanced at each other, they thought the same as Shangguan Xiu, Tang Xuan only had the title of the prince, and he had no real power in his hands, so it was pointless to sneak into Shangjing with great effort and risk, just to kill such a prince! Qin Chuan snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed Zhang Peng's collar, and asked in a cold voice: "Until now, you still refuse to tell the truth? I see that you also want to roll up and roll twice on the 'Immortal Jump'!" As he spoke, he lifted Zhang Peng up and threw him on the iron plate.

Zhang Peng's face turned pale with fright, and he screamed repeatedly: "I'm not lying, the task given to me by the Divine Sword Gate is to sneak into Shangjing and wait for the opportunity to assassinate King Ping, I really don't know why the Divine Sword Gate wants to kill King Ping......"

Shangguan Xiu stared at him for a moment, withdrew his gaze, waved his hand at Qin Chuan, and then turned around and walked out.

When he walked to the door of the torture room, his footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head sideways and said: "Prepare a beautiful brocade box, put it on his neck, send it to the hotel, and hand it over to Xin Jiyao." After saying this, he walked out without looking back.

Outside the dungeon, Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan caught up with him, and the former frowned and said, "Brother Xiu, I think this matter is strange. King Ping and Shenjianmen have no grievances or hatred, and they have no real power in their hands, so Shenjianmen really has no reason to get rid of him. ”

"Could it be that the purpose of the Divine Sword Sect is to create panic in Shangjing?" Qin Chuan wondered.

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "No matter what the purpose of the Divine Sword Sect is, in short, it must not be well-intentioned. It's a pity that this Zhang Peng doesn't know anything. ”

"Perhaps, King Ping is still doing something behind the scenes that we don't know about!"

Shangguan Xiu blinked his eyes and said, "It just so happens that I am going to go to King Ping's Mansion today, but I can explore the reality of King Ping." ”

At noon, Shangguan Xiu went to the palace of King Ping. Tang Xuan personally went out of the house to greet him and took Shangguan Xiu into the hall.

In the hall, a banquet had already been prepared, and the princess and Tang Xuan's children were also present.

Compared with other princes' wives and concubines and full of children, Tang Xuan's family members are really pitiful, there is only one princess and only two children.

However, Tang Xuan himself is also a pure-hearted person with few desires, and he doesn't care too much about whether his own people are prosperous or not, otherwise, he would have been unable to tolerate the ruthless Princess Ping.

After taking a seat, Shangguan Xiu nodded to the princess with a smile, and then turned her eyes to Tang Mingzhu.

Similar to the situation at yesterday's dinner, Tang Mingzhu shrank in the most inconspicuous corner, her head lowered, she couldn't see her face, only the top of her head, and her sense of presence was almost zero.

In stark contrast to her, Tang Fei's little head was raised high, his cheeks were flushed with blush and bright brilliance, and he was already radiant at a young age. The two of them sat together, and people would only see Tang Fei, and no one would notice Tang Mingzhu.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said to Tang Xuan and his wife: "Today, the prince and the princess have a grand banquet, Xiu is grateful, do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Tang Xuan and the princess both laughed, and the latter said delicately: "His Royal Highness Guogong is too polite, His Royal Highness can come and let the Ping Wangfu shine!"

Princess Ping is sociable than Tang Xuan, and her gestures are also dignified and generous, of course, in public, her etiquette is impeccable, but what she looks like in private, Shangguan Xiu does not know.

After drinking two glasses, the princess entertained: "Your Royal Highness, taste whether the dishes in the palace are still in good taste!"

Shangguan Xiu looked down at the food on the table, all kinds of dishes were dazzling, just a dragon whisker and phoenix claw, the price was not expensive, not to mention ten taels of silver, and the prince's annual income was only less than a thousand taels. Shangguan Xiu didn't know if Tang Xuan was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat today, or if the Ping Wangfu was so luxurious on weekdays.

He picked up a few dragon whiskers and put them in his mouth, the taste was delicious, and he praised with a smile: "The craftsmanship of the chef of the Pingwang Mansion is really extraordinary. ”

Hearing his admiration, Tang Xuan and the princess both showed smiles and joy on their faces, and this heavily prepared banquet was finally not in vain. The princess took the opportunity to say: "Your Royal Highness, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Princess, please speak!"

"Fei'er is deeply valued by His Majesty, and is currently the master of Tongtianmen, but Fei'er has been taught by a good teacher, and with Fei'er's ability, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed in the future, so I want Fei'er to worship under the Guogongmen, I don't know what the will of the Guogong will be?" said the princess with a smile.

She did not mention that Tang Fei would enter the Military Martial Hall, but let Tang Fei worship directly under Shangguan Xiu's door, which is different from the meaning of entering the Military Martial Hall.

Shangguan Xiu didn't expect the princess to make such a request, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "The prince is the master of the Tongtianmen, worship me as a teacher, there are many inappropriate, and I am also suspected of trespassing, so let's ask Your Majesty for instructions, please Your Majesty choose a good teacher for the prince, what does the princess think?"

"This ......" The princess hesitated, and before she could continue to speak, Shangguan Xiu suddenly remembered something, took out a roll of paper from her cuff, and handed it to Tang Xuan. The subordinate who was waiting next to him immediately stepped forward, took the roll of paper that Shangguan Xiu took out, and handed it to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan's face was full of puzzlement, and he asked, "Your Royal Highness, what is it this time?"

King Ping opened it and looked at it. ”

Tang Yan curiously unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, it turned out to be a title deed, he looked closely, this is the title deed of a piece of land in Beijun, the area is not small, there are hundreds of acres. He looked shocked and puzzled: "Your Royal Highness, you are ......"

"Today, Xiu took the liberty to visit, and he should have backed up the generous gifts, but he didn't know the prince's preferences. This is a piece of fertile land in North County, the water and grass are fertile, the scenery is pleasant, I know that the prince likes to travel in all directions, but the prince must not have been to the north county, with this land, when the prince goes to the north county in the future, he can have a place to settle down!"

A hundred acres of land, for a powerful prince, is indeed nothing, but for a prince like Tang Xuan, this is definitely a great gift.

Especially recently, the land price in Beijun has been speculated, as long as there is land, you can take it out and exchange it for silver, others don't buy it, and the yamen of the county government are rushing to buy it.

One acre of land can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one hundred acres of land can be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver.

When Tang Xuan heard this, he was surprised and delighted, his eyes lit up and he looked at the title deed in his hand, and his eyelashes were about to bloom.

The princess stretched her neck even more, and looked at the title deed in Tang Xuan's hand from time to time. Originally, he was still quite disappointed that Shangguan Xiu refused to accept Tang Fei as an apprentice, but he didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to give such a big gift immediately afterward.

She rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "Your Royal Highness, I heard that the county government of the Northern County has been recovering the title deed of the Northern County at a high level?"

Before Shangguan Xiu could reply, Tang Xuan coughed heavily and said in a deep voice: "Woman's opinion!

Many ministers in the court have purchased land in Beijun and built manors, and when they are free, they can go to Beijun to escape the summer and live for a while. Tang Xuan scoffed at this, and always claimed that the windy country is far better than Beijun, and he went to Beijun to buy land, all of which were short-sighted and loved to join in the fun, and now he has the land of Beijun in his hands, but he forgot what he had said before, and he also wanted to go to Beijun to build his own manor.

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "If the prince has this intention, I can inform the Beijun County Government and help the prince build the manor, and the prince will not have to go all the way to supervise the work in person." ”

"Oh, this king is very grateful to His Royal Highness Guogong!" Tang Xuan, who was so high-minded, couldn't help but stand up at this time and bow to Shangguan Xiushen.

While Shangguan Xiu returned the salute, he was also somewhat disappointed in his heart.

He originally thought that Tang Xuan might have done something unspeakable behind his back, so he attracted the vendetta of the Divine Sword Sect, but now, he is a down-and-out prince, and only a hundred acres of land has made him so elated.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shangguan Xiu got up to say goodbye to Tang Xuan and the princess, and before leaving, he proposed to send Tang Mingzhu directly to Lingwu Academy.

As the so-called eating people's mouth is short, taking other people's hands is short, and he received a heavy gift from Shangguan Xiu, Tang Xuan is not easy to refuse his request at this time, not to mention, he doesn't have much affection for Tang Mingzhu's daughter, and there is not much difference between leaving a few days early and leaving a few days late.

He looked back at Tang Mingzhu and said in a deep voice: "Zhu'er, you go back to the room to clean up, and then go with His Royal Highness Guogong! Remember, in the future, under the Guogong Gate, you can't be willful, if you let your father know that you are restless, your father will never spare you!"

Tang Mingzhu bowed and bowed, and then walked back to his room quickly. The princess looked at her departing back, her eyes as if she had been quenched with poison. She smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "His Royal Highness, Fei'er ...... him."

"The prince is still young, and now he really can't enter the military martial arts hall, wait for another two years, and the son will grow up a little bit!"

Shangguan Xiu blocked the princess's words. It didn't take long for Tang Mingzhu to come over with a small package on her back, all her belongings in the palace were only such a small package, Shangguan Xiu looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but darken, he arched his hand to Tang Ming and the princess, said goodbye, and then took Tang Mingzhu, got into the carriage, and left.
