Chapter 461: Digging the Foot of the Wall
At this moment, a lot of things flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, but the next moment they all disappeared.
That guy died?
After a short silence, Li Qingyan reflexively sat back on the cracked boulder, his red lips slightly open, but he didn't speak, and spit out a mouthful of white mist.
The collapsed majestic hall is like a dead beast crawling on the ground, and the snow that falls from the sky buries all traces of it.
Li Qingyan's red eyes stared at the black-armored general standing in the snow for a long time:
"You say. He's dead? ”
Yuan Hao didn't answer immediately, but considered the words in his heart, and after the words fell, he observed the other party's expression.
Although he is a madman, it does not mean that he does not know how to read words and feelings.
His Royal Highness Wu Yuan in front of him seemed to be a little out of proportion because of the death of the third duke.
Thinking in his heart, there was a sound of armor metal rubbing on the snow-covered mountaintop, Yuan Hao slowly lowered his head and said softly:
"According to the information from Di'an City, the third prince was indeed assassinated."
"Huh."
After receiving an affirmative answer again, the corners of Li Qingyan's ruddy lips suddenly hooked.
She wanted to laugh, ridiculously like laughing.
Although that guy's cultivation is very weak, his whole person seems to be wrapped in a veil of mystery.
Every time you dig and every time you make contact, you can see something different from him.
When Li Zhaoyuan assassinated the two, it was the information he provided that allowed them to escape from the barbarian army.
In the dungeon full of strange ghosts, under the pursuit and killing of the sanctified barbarian king, he also saved the two.
Now, suddenly tell her that he's dead?
That guy is going to die?
How could that guy possibly die?
Li Qingyan slowly raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
The prosperity of the Ice Spirit Palace and the hustle and bustle of the time of destruction have all returned to the bleak with this snowfall.
In the silence, Yuan Hao narrowed his gaze and prepared to leave temporarily.
The current His Royal Highness Wu Yuan obviously needs some quiet and alone time, as for the rest of the things that have not yet been explained, he will wait in the military camp at the foot of the mountain to report when the other party comes down.
“.”
Iron boots were silent in the snow, and Yuan Hao was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as he took a step, he heard a deep female voice behind him:
"You came here to make more than just inform this palace about this."
A flash of surprise flashed in Yuan Hao's eyes, and he was immediately relieved.
These days, the war in the north has been going on, and because he belongs to the Great Yan Imperial Court, the Heilin Army has cooperated with the imperial army more than once, and therefore, he is not a woman who will be swayed by feelings for this cold-faced and iron-blooded His Royal Highness Wu Yuan.
Turning around slowly, Yuan Hao looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the boulder, pondered slightly, and said softly:
"Yes, but Your Highness."
"I don't believe it."
Li Qingyan interrupted Yuan Hao's words, sat on the boulder, crossed his legs, held his cheeks with one hand, and gently tapped his index finger:
"Before seeing Xu Yuan's body with his own eyes, Bengong didn't believe that he would die.
"After all,
"Fake your death seems like a good option for that guy, right?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hao's eyes flickered slightly.
Actually, he also had such suspicions, but these things were not what he should ask, as a knife, he only needed to obey orders.
"In this matter, the last general does not dare to speculate, this time I came to see you, in addition to passing on the death of the third prince, Lord Xiangguo also asked the last general to hand over this thing to His Royal Highness."
While talking,
Yuan Hao reached into his arms and took out a three-centimeter large black box from the inner lining of the black armor.
Li Qingyan saw this thing with slightly raised eyebrows, raised his fingertips slightly, and the black box was taken by him in the air.
The slender fingertips pressed the buckles on both sides of the small black box, and then listened to the "click".
The small black box was opened, and a neatly folded special document came into Li Qingyan's eyes.
Looking at this paperwork, Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Engagement.
This is the marriage contract document that she and the guy pressed their handprints before leaving Beijing under the witness of their father and Xiangguo.
Yuan Hao's voice came softly, and he said in a low voice:
"Lord Xiangguo asked the last general to convey that the third prince was assassinated, and this marriage contract will be done according to your wishes, Your Highness."
“.”
Li Qingyan stared at the signature and handprint of the dragon snake that forced away the marriage contract to settle for a few breaths, reloaded it, and threw it back to Yuan Hao:
"I don't need this thing in this palace, so I'd better take it and return it to Xiangguo and his old man."
“.”
Yuan Hao caught it easily, but his brows furrowed subconsciously.
He didn't understand what Her Royal Highness the princess meant.
Lord Xiangguo returned this marriage contract to His Royal Highness Wu Yuan, which was already considered to be free, otherwise even if the third prince died, with this marriage contract, the Prime Minister could ask the other party to be widowed for a lifetime.
Xiangguo returned the marriage contract to the other party, and the royal family could directly break the contract, which was regarded as giving the other party a chance to get together and disperse.
Facing Yuan Hao's incomprehensible gaze, Li Qingyan slowly stood up from the boulder and walked straight down the mountain:
"Fang just said that unless this palace sees the body of your third son with his own eyes, this palace will not believe it."
When passing by the black-armored general standing in place, Li Qingyan's rustling female voice came softly:
"The palace will order the camp to go south tonight, if you have nothing else to do, then you will not be kept, now the war is tense, Li Zhaoyuan's side has moved, your commander has been away from the army for too long, I am afraid that there will be unnecessary chaos."
“.”
Yuan Hao looked back at the golden-armored woman who was walking towards the foot of the mountain in the wind and snow, his mouth opened, but he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
The top leaders of Dayan almost knew very well that the marriage contract between His Royal Highness Wu Yuan and the Third Prince was a show, a political signal with more symbolic meaning than actual effect.
However, looking at the behavior of Her Royal Highness the princess now, it seems that this marriage contract is not more than a political signal.
This made Yuan Hao a little surprised.
A trip to the north made this highness Wu Yuan on the battlefield change like this, in a sense, the third prince is really powerful.
Between exclamations,
The black-haired golden armor shadow had disappeared into the wind and snow on the top of the mountain, and only her leisurely voice came from the bottom of the mountain:
"Oh yes,
"If he really dies, your prime minister's mansion can directly announce to the world that the palace is willing to be a widow for your third son."
As one of the few entertainment projects in this era, even if the war in the north is raging every day, the smoke willow lanes in Di'an City are still full of people at night.
However, in the hustle and bustle of the night, the inside of Xuanyue Tower seemed a little quiet.
As one of the top checkboxes endorsed by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, its high threshold directly isolates businessmen and wealthy businessmen who have no political background.
After the blessing of the special formation, the soft string music flows in every corner of the elegant and chic Xuanyue Tower.
On the open-air balcony on the top floor, two men sat opposite each other, with a table in the middle, enjoying the prosperity of the autumn night view of the imperial capital, while drinking wine and chatting, so uncomfortable.
While laughing, Xu Yuan looked at the smiling python-robed young man opposite, and his heart was silent.
avoided the limelight, and finally came out with his new identity to go out for a walk, but he met this hanging man again.
Sometimes, Xu Yuan really felt that he had some bad relationship with this Li Yunqing in his previous life.
The huge Di'an City, with so many top-level hooks, can actually let the two of them meet.
After listening to the music on the top floor of this Xuanyue Building, Li Yunqing, who was dressed in a luxurious royal robe, pushed the door and sat down to say hello.
If it was before, Xu Yuan would most likely directly let this Wang Ba calf who came over to eat and drink get out, but now his identity is not enough for him to do such a hanging thing.
The box that the old man gave him contained a piece of paper with his new identity in addition to a lifelike human skin mask.
One of the heirs of the court's military department was found half a year ago.
Sometimes, he really felt that his father was too good for their children.
Calculating the time, this father should have started to prepare for this identity immediately after he was assassinated, and in order to create this identity, the father should have put a lot of effort into it.
As the second-in-command of the military department, one of the six departments of the court, although he is not as conspicuous as the first Shangshu, he is also one of the absolute core figures above the court.
However, disguised as the heir of this person, although he does not need to be too restrained, he can no longer be as unscrupulous as the son of the prime minister.
Just like now, he can use this identity to arbitrarily charter a venue in a celebrity place like Di'an City, but he can't directly save the face of these three princes.
The cold night breeze floated the robes and long hair of the two, Li Yunqing did not tie his hair, or he was not a person who would pay attention to his image at all.
Of course
Xu Yuan is the same.
But tonight, he tied his long hair meticulously, because he played the role of an upright son who was as humble as jade.
The father took great pains to prepare such an identity for him, so he naturally had to go deeper into the play, play this role-playing well, and not let acquaintances recognize him.
Although I don't know if Li Yunqing can see it, at least it is enough that the other party does not see it on the surface.
Due to the change of identity, although Xu Yuan and Li Yunqing chatted with each other, they did not have the previous words of "heart-to-heart", and the two of them were basically chatting about some court affairs and some interesting things all night.
The conversation was quite pleasant.
Of course, Xu Yuan felt that the most important thing was that he was entertaining guests at this chartered banquet.
Until, Li Yunqing suddenly sighed and said:
"The third prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated, and the royal sister of this king was willing to choose to be widowed."
The corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and Xu Yuan's face was filled with just the right amount of doubt, and he asked softly:
"Widowhood?"
Li Yunqing glanced at the gentle boy opposite, poured himself a cup of pure yang wine without hurry, drank it all in one gulp, felt a hot breath rising from his lower abdomen, and then said softly:
"Although this matter has not yet spread, counting the time, your father, as an important minister of the court, should soon receive the news."
Xu Yuan said softly with a slightly lonely look in his eyes when he heard this:
"Your Highness said with a smile, I am only the heir of my father's concubine, although in order to make up for the debts of these years, although my father did not control me in terms of money, but the power involved in the family is controlled by the big house and the second room, if this information is not mentioned by His Highness, I will probably have to wait until the court newspaper is published to know."
Li Yunqing raised his eyebrows, chuckled and said:
"This matter is not a big deal, if the prince is curious, this king can solve your doubts and deserve the reward for this meal."
Xu Yuan leaned forward slightly, and said softly:
"Oh? I've heard that the third prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a gentleman, even if there is a marriage contract, that His Royal Highness Wu Yuan is willing to be a widow for this kind of person? Could it be that the third prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion is clumsy? ”
Li Yunqing waved his hand casually when he heard this, and laughed softly:
"Wang Gongzi, you think too much, this matter is all my imperial sister's temperament, she has never cared about these things, with this excuse, she can just not marry for the rest of her life."
Hearing this answer, Xu Yuan smiled lightly in his heart.
He was very satisfied with Li Yunqing's answer, although the other party likes to cheat with him on some things, but on top of this kind of major right and wrong, the other party still knows how to maintain his identity.
I was thinking in my heart,
Li Yunqing suddenly knocked lightly on the table, stared at Xu Yuan's eyes, and said softly:
"Wang Gongzi, you used to be exiled, how do you feel about living an idle life for so long after entering Beijing?"
Xu Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Li Yunqing looked at the look of this prince and asked with a smile:
"With your age and cultivation, you should have greater ambitions, not waste your years in this green building."
“.”
Xu Yuan's face was slightly pale when he heard this, and he instantly understood why he could meet these three princes again.
After a little silence, Xu Yuan asked with a slight hesitation:
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Perhaps, the prince can propose to your father to become an official in the court, and if he does not want to, this king can provide you with some help."
“.”
When Xu Yuan heard this, his eyes became a little strange.
The soldier's squire is a standard Xiangguo sworn friend, otherwise the father would not have assured that his fake identity would be arranged as the other party's heir.
Nowadays, the imperial court is in turmoil, and although the military department does not have the power to directly dispatch the army, it has the power to raise armaments and logistics.
If he rebelled against him, the depressed "son of the military department", if nothing else, at least he would be able to get some information inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yes, the meeting between the two was not accidental.
Li Yunqing made a special trip to dig the foot of the wall.
It's a little hard.
This hanging man digs the foot of the wall, how can he dig up his fake identity every time?
Seeing that Xu Yuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Yunqing chuckled and shook his head, and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, the help that the king said is not direct, and it will not make it difficult for your father."
"Third Highness, I remember that you don't seem to have opened a government."
Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted the other party: "So, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant?" ”
A little surprise flashed in Li Yunqing's eyes, but then this surprise turned into a smile.
He likes to talk to smart people.
He took out a jade talisman from the Sumeru ring and gently placed it on the table.
This time
The handwriting engraved on the jade talisman that Li Yunqing took out was not "three", but the word "Yucheng".
Li Yunqing slowly stood up and looked condescendingly at the humble prince in front of him:
"If the prince is interested, he can take this jade talisman and go to the Tianxun room downstairs, where the king and the royal brother are waiting."
