Sun Qi didn't speak, he felt that things were not so simple.

Although King Jing may also be one of them, it will not be the most absolute one.

In other words, there is more than one person behind the scenes, and even these people with wolf tooth tattoos may not really be from Beiyan, and they may also be spies planted by Nantai in Beiyan.

Anything is possible until the big picture is decided.

"We can't delay like this any longer, the matter on Nantai's side must be resolved quickly, and Your Highness needs us even more."

He spoke suddenly, his gaze very determined.

Qin Jian didn't agree very much: "The matter of Prince Nantai has pushed His Royal Highness to the cusp, and the emperor's jealousy of His Royal Highness has reached the extreme, even if you really know that you took the head of Prince Nantai, you may not be able to reward meritorious deeds, let's go back now, maybe we will fall short!" ”

Qin Jian thinks that he is not a saint, he has been ambushed outside for so many years just to get ahead one day, and now that the Dog Emperor is in power, and he regards King Chen as a thorn in his side, not only will they not get any benefits when they go back, but they may even be assassinated by the Dog Emperor.

Sun Qi didn't fantasize that one day he would be able to return to his hometown, but now that his family's whereabouts are unknown, and the domestic crisis is full of dangers, it is far more chaotic than that of Nantai, so he wants to go back first, while looking for his family, and at the same time check the person behind the wolf's tooth mark.

Now that the enemy is in the shadows, many things are no longer up to them.

He patted Qin Jian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness won't treat you and me badly." ”

Sun Qi smiled, went back to his room to clean the dust, and he had to plan carefully for the next thing.

In the bathtub, the hot water soaked to his neck, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and many pictures quickly flashed in his mind, one moment was the bits and pieces of the years of deployment in Nantai, and the other was the picture of the early years at home.

Seeing the miserable appearance of Changzhou, his heart tugged fiercely, if he did so much and lurked for so many years, but he couldn't even protect his family, what was the point?

With a long breath, he opened his eyes, and he had to go back quickly.

As soon as he got dressed, a subordinate voice came from outside: "My lord, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent an invitation." ”

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and his subordinates sent in an invitation, and when he opened it, it was an invitation to a banquet, the sixteenth birthday banquet of the prime minister's daughter.

He smiled, if you really want to doze off, someone will send you a pillow, isn't this the opportunity to come?

"Go tell someone and I'll be there."

"Yes."

Sun Qi took the invitation card and went to Qin Jian again, and the two conspired in the study for an afternoon.

Although Qin Jian felt that his plan was a little too thrilling, and he might expose himself if he was not careful, and all these years of hard work would be wasted in an instant, but in the end, he was still willing to believe in Sun Qi's ability and let him give it a try.

Sun Qi and Qin Jian's ostensible identity in Nantai is to run a big gambling house, but in fact, a lot of business is involved, and some officials secretly want to deal with it but can't get benefits, so everyone thinks that they are royal people behind them, so many officials want to secretly win them over.

Because of this, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Nantai has to invite him on her birthday, presumably to take the opportunity to win him over.

Seven days later, Sun Qi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion as promised, and the gift he brought was a priceless night pearl, and someone next to him saw the content written on the gift list, and secretly speculated whether this Sun Qi wanted to be the Prime Minister's son-in-law.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is already powerful, if Sun Qi's power is added, then the Prime Minister's nephew, that is, the current Six Princes, can definitely sit on the throne of the crown prince.

It's just that the six princes are still young, only eleven years old, and I don't know if they can take on this important responsibility.

Sun Qi ignored these speculations, entered the Prime Minister's Mansion by himself, and went to the main hall under the leadership of his subordinates.

On the birthday of the prime minister's daughter, most of the young ladies invited were young sons and ladies, and the family had more or less official positions, like Sun Qi, who did not have any official status and could not find out his background, he was the only one.

Even so, not only did no one present dare to mock him with his identity, but even stepped forward to talk with a flattering face.

Sun Qi has participated in this kind of banquet countless times, and it is nothing more than using the banquet to attract some forces.

There are all men here, and the women are drinking tea and enjoying the flowers in the pavilion on the other side of the lake, and the men and women are not at the same table.

In the pavilion, many official ladies quietly looked here, and when they saw the young man, they couldn't help but blush.

"Who do you say is the best-looking man?"

"Naturally, it's Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi is the head of the four beautiful men in the national capital!"

"Having said that, Zhao Gongzi has been sick in bed all the year round, and he looks sick, no matter how good-looking he is, he is no longer glamorous because of his illness."

"If you want me to say, but the third master of Shunyu Gambling House is good-looking, handsome and extraordinary, and most importantly, I heard that there is a lot of power behind him!"

"Yes, I've also heard that if this person marries the third master, it is really a blessing from the previous life!"

……

The ladies of the official family commented quietly, and even the eyes of He Zihan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, were staring closely in the direction of Sun Qi.

Last night, her father told her that if she could please the third master and make the marriage, their He family would have an extra layer of power, and her aunt's status in the palace would also rise, and she would become the most envied person by the ladies of the entire capital.

What's more, she originally liked the third master.

After thinking about it, she opened her mouth casually and left with a perfunctory look at the women, and found a personal maid to whisper a few words, and the maid was answered and left.

Sun Qi was sitting in his seat drinking tea, listening to the opera with peace of mind, he was waiting, and the show would be staged in a while.

At this time, a little maid stepped forward and said respectfully: "Third master, my young lady wants to see you." ”

Sun Qi raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on a small guy not far away, and the little guy nodded invisibly.

"Miss He, what's wrong?"

"Please also ask the third master to go with the slave maid."

The little maid lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Sun Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, this prime minister's family is really his lucky star.

So he stood up happily and followed the little maid away.

It's just that it seems a pity that I can't watch a hot show.

He Zihan was already waiting for him in another pavilion, and when he saw him coming from a distance, his palms couldn't help but sweat.

"The Third Master ......"

She opened her mouth a little shyly, and Sun Qi bowed very gentlemanly and asked, "Miss He, is there something wrong?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

He Zihan is a young lady from the prime minister's family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is cultivated according to the standards sent to the palace, and has been taught some women's thoughts of three obedience and four virtues.

She blushed so much that she didn't know how to speak.
