Chapter Forty-Eight: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone

Yan Jinzhou said happily: "Lord Xie! ”

Thinking that there would be guards with strong martial arts to protect him in the future, Yan Jinzhou hummed a little song happily, and turned to lie by the window and look at the scenery along the road, the fear caused by this robbery and killing was gone.

Back at Qi Mansion, Lin Ruoyin and Lu Xiaoshuang were surprised when they greeted them at the door, and stepped forward to help the two of them into the door respectively.

At this time, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of Qi Mansion.

"Shousuke-sama!"

Qi Feng heard the shout and looked back, but it was Zheng Ming, and a little anger rose in his eyes.

Yan Jinzhou followed behind him, and his eyes were also fierce.

Lu Xiaoshuang saw that Zheng Ming was radiant and energetic, and he didn't look like he was crazy at all, and said strangely: "It's only been a while, and you'll be fine?" ”

"What's good? What's going on in Hongu? ”

Lu Xiaoshuang wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yan Jinzhou.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, come in and talk about something! It's getting late, so I'll have dinner and then go! ”

She whispered, looking around again.

Looking at Zheng Ming's appearance, he didn't know what happened today, and the two people who were killed were definitely not his, after all, he must still be counting on himself to configure the antidote for Yan Jinxiu. So who is responsible for such a killer?

"Come in!"

Qi Feng's thoughts are obviously the same as Yan Jinzhou's, otherwise with his temperament, he would never be so polite to his enemy.

Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate and the hand-copying verandah, when he sat in the main hall, by the bright candlelight, Zheng Mingcai saw the trickling blood on Qi Feng's body.

He was shocked and asked, "Shousuke-sama is injured?" ”

Qi Feng went around behind the screen and changed into clean clothes before coming out to see Zheng Ming.

"What's the matter with Your Highness?"

Zheng Ming glanced at the female dependents on the table, and said nothing in hiding.

Yan Jinzhou hurriedly asked: "How is the princess and concubine?" If you have anything to say, Your Highness, just say it, there are no outsiders anyway. ”

Zheng Ming remembered this at this time, and then hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, madam!" ”

"The inner person has taken the antidote before the palace comes, and after the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, the pulse is stable, and the poison is all dispersed, and now he is resting."

He took out the remaining few antidotes and handed them to Yan Jinzhou: "This is the excess antidote after the configuration, Mr. Ouyang asked me to bring some to Yun Gongzi." ”

Yan Jinzhou took the cloth bag and handed it to Lu Xiaoshuang, but his eyes were full of surprise.

What else is there to do for him Zheng Mingda to take care of his wife who had just woken up at night and ran to Qi Mansion.

At this time, Qi Feng spoke: "Then you guys retreat!" ”

Yan Jinzhou said to Lu Xiaoshuang: "Let's go!" Shuang'er, let's go get the antidote for Yun Gongzi to take! ”

Lin Ruoyin came over: "Yin'er accompany my sister!" ”

The man sitting on the upper seat looked at the three people in the distance, but his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he frowned and gave birth to a sense of anger.

After hearing the door squeaked shut from the outside by the slave maid.

Zheng Ming's voice trembled slightly: "Lord Shoufu, something is wrong!" I just received an urgent report that Liu Songshan, the general stationed in the northwest, collaborated with the enemy to rebel, and now the city gate is lost, and the army composed of all the ethnic minorities in the west is approaching one after another, and it is almost to Short Songgang! ”

As we all know, the geographical location of Short Matsuoka is superior, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it must not be lost again.

Qi Feng's heart was shocked, and he asked urgently, "Who is there now?" ”

"General Li Dongchuan!"

Zheng Ming wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve.

Qi Feng also got up anxiously, paced back and forth in the room, and asked, "Why is he?" What about General Pei? ”

Although Li Dongchuan talked eloquently about the art of war in front of the emperor, he lacked actual combat experience, and he was only thirty years old, so how could he take on a big responsibility?

Qi Feng said in a cold voice: "I'll go and tell the emperor now and replace Li Dongchuan with Pei Yu." ”

Zheng Ming stretched out his hand to stop him: "Lord Shoufu, slow down!" This is exactly the order that his father just gave in the palace, and everyone in the whole dynasty knows that Pei Yu is good at defending the city, but who dares to mention him at the moment. Adults will not forget his relationship with Liu Songshan, the uncle and nephew are deeply affectionate, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other involvement. ”

Qi Feng pondered, Liu Songshan was full of loyalty, three generations were in the army, his grandfather saved Emperor Gaozu from fire and water several times, he was diligent and diligent as an official, and there was no sign of rebellion.

"What does the emperor think of Liu Songshan's affairs?"

"The people of their family died in this rebellion, and they fled, and none of them came back, and the women in the city were all imprisoned at home, depending on the intention of the father, they must be cut down and sent to the knight, and the rest of them were all sent to exile!"

After a night's hard work, the loyal ministers and generals of the past fell to such a point, Qi Feng couldn't help but dye some red in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Liu Songshan's case may be suspicious, but the most important thing at the moment is to let Pei Yu go to the front line." ”

"Also, the treasury is empty, and we must convene a hundred officials to discuss it and see how this money is taken out!"

Hearing this, Zheng Mingzhong sighed.

Last year's great drought in two provinces, the great floods in the three provinces have already taken out a lot of silver, and now the war in the northwest has also hindered the trade route, and it can neither open source nor throttle, where should this silver come from?

At this time, someone outside vaguely asked, "Where is the adult?" ”

After a while, there were suddenly countless candles outside the house, and more than a dozen people who entered the room were orderly divided into two rows, and a man wearing a blue-gray hat and holding a whisk in his hand gently pushed open the door of the dining room.

"The old slave has seen Lord Shousuke!"

"Oh, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is also here, and the old slave is also here to greet you!"

Zheng Ming frowned.

Wang Bao's request for peace is just superfluous for him, after all, he is the person of King Yan, no matter how polite he is with him on the face, he is secretly incompatible with him.

Qi Feng said directly: "Why did my father-in-law come so late?" ”

Wang Bao slightly cocked his orchid fingers, covered his mouth and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince came down earlier than the old slave, I'm afraid I have explained it to the adults." The saint asked the old slave to bring a message to Lord Shoufu, for the sake of Liu Songshan's matter. ”

Qi Feng was about to kneel down to receive the order.

Wang Bao waved the dust: "Adults don't need to make a big salute, it's just a verbal message." ”

Qi Feng and Zheng Ming bowed slightly, clenching their fists in front of their chests.

"There is a word in the saint, the Liu family has rebelled, and my heart is very cold, so I ordered Qi Shoufu to set up an inspection department tomorrow to strictly investigate Liu Songshan's case, and will file a case with its relevant personnel, and interrogate them one by one, if you have the heart of a traitor, you will be killed!"

Wang Bao shouted loudly.

Qi Feng said: "The minister accepts the order!" “

Although he shouted to thank the lord Longen, but in his heart he felt that the emperor really shouldn't hold on to this matter at this time, now the war in the northwest is the most important, I have heard that the tribe of the evil king has developed and grown, if he is allowed to break through all the way, the capital will be in danger.

Wang Bao was about to leave.

Qi Feng shouted to stay: "Princess, the emperor can rest now, I have something important to play, I don't know ......"

As he spoke, Qi Feng pushed a piece of gold in front of Wang Bao.

Now that the emperor is over sixty, he is almost out of order every day, indulging in the sound of the harem.
