Chapter 475: Birthday Banquet Next
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the court rests.
There is no snow in Kyoto,
The sky was blue and the sun was shining.
The plaque on the lintel of the former Prime Minister's Mansion has been replaced.
Now it's called Quiet Fast!
"You can't be quiet, and you can't be idle, why did you choose such a name?"
Cheng Jingting, the servant of the door, sat in front of Wen Zhuyu and Nian Chengfeng with a jar of paintings, and asked curiously.
Nian Chengfeng glanced at the warm boiling rain.
Wen Zhuanyu stroked his short beard and smiled: "Isn't it just for the sake of leisure in the future?" β
He called a servant girl to fetch the wine cup, and asked the housekeeper of the house to go to Juxian Pavilion to order a table and deliver it.
"Old Guogong, your 60th birthday is approaching, this is a big event, and you can celebrate it when the time comes!"
Cheng Jingting glanced at Wen Zhuanyu, "The old man is not here to entertain!" β
"Zhou Zhuang, that Zhou Dashan man will have a sixtieth birthday today!"
"The regent is in Zhouzhuang!"
"I heard that there were a lot of people gathered in that place...... You're not really worried about his safety? β
A maidservant brought a wine cup.
Wen Zhuanyu took the wine jar with a smile on his face, patted the mud seal, poured three cups of wine, handed it over, and then said:
"If you don't worry, of course it's fake."
"But there's no use worrying...... The key is to look at the final outcome. β
"But don't worry, that kid is even more cunning than you think, he can't die!"
Cheng Jingting hesitated for a moment, "To say that his kid's cunning old man has experienced a thing or two, but this time this matter is too big!" β
"Tell me what you know now, and it will make the old man feel more at ease."
Wen boiled rain took a sip of wine:
"Pingjiang City in Jiangnan Province has been completely controlled by the Imperial City Division."
"If you catch Yu Wanzhi and Song Shiming, there will be no more winds and waves in the entire Jiangnan Province."
"The regent used himself as bait to complete the smooth transition of Gangnam Province...... In the past few days, Brother Nian and I have visited many of Mr. Chunfu's protΓ©gΓ©s, and some of them are still willing to come out to serve the country. β
"The list of officials needed in Gangnam Province will be sent to your desk tomorrow, and you will carefully interrogate them, if there is no problem, these officials will go to Gangnam Province to take up their posts."
"As for the danger of the regent in Zhouzhuang, Yanji Dao should have arrived in Zhouzhuang."
The look of worry on Cheng Jingting's face did not dissipate because of Wen Zhuyu's words.
His brow furrowed a little deeper.
"Yan Jidao went to Zhouzhuang?"
"Exactly!"
"But the problem is Princess Liyang, it's in Zhou Yuan!"
"I know that Princess Liyang can't stop Yan Jidao from acting."
Cheng Jingting sighed for three breaths, "The old man also thought so before, but he always felt that he seemed to have ignored something. β
"Yesterday Cheng Zhe returned home, the old man talked about this worry, and Cheng Zhe said something that made the old man vigilant."
"What did he say?"
"He said that Princess Liyang is very wise, and she will not go to Zhou Yuan for no reason."
"Since she went a year ago, she should be fully prepared!"
Wen Boilyu's eyes narrowed, "But no one would have expected that Yan Ji Dao would go to Zhou Yuan!" β
"No, the old man thought that when the news that Xiaoqin came to Jiangnan from outside the Guanwai, I am afraid that it had already attracted the attention of Princess Liyang!"
"Princess Liyang will never allow Miss Lu San's son to live in the world!"
"In addition, she knows very well that Jiangnan Province is important in Ningguo!"
"After all, many officials in Jiangnan are somewhat involved with her, and even behind that Zhou Dashan person, there seems to be her shadow!"
"She is suspicious by nature, and Jiangnan Dao, her hand is the longest, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is her foundation."
"I'm afraid she won't easily believe that the regent is just going to Shuzhou through Jiangnan!"
"If she wants to hold Gangnam Province and prevent what she has done from being revealed, she must kill the regent...... What's the best way to do it? β
"On the one hand, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of Jiangnan Province went to Fengxian County to intercept them. On the other hand, in Zhouzhuang, people are stabbed in the martial arts! β
"Don't forget that there is also a Xiahou Zhuo!"
"You let Xiahou Zhuo enter Jiangnan Province, but now you don't know the whereabouts of his 30,000 army...... If he also went to Zhouzhuang, the regent would not have wings! β
Wen Zhuyu took another sip of the wine cup, and after a while said again:
"The fourth princess, Ning Chuchu, is in Zhouzhuang."
"Not enough!"
"The Xuanjia camp is in Zhoushan!"
ββ¦β¦ Not enough! β
"Your granddaughter, Yunchen County Lord Cheng Yiren, with the five thousand people of the Guangling Water Division, is also in Zhoushan!"
"......" Cheng Jingting's eyes widened suddenly, "She also went?" β
"Yes, because Zhongli Mansion is even more reluctant to see the regent have an accident."
"Zhongli Qiuyang, where's the little bastard?"
Wen Zhuyu smiled slightly: "He's catching turtles...... Shang's 100 Years ...... Rich and rivaled! β
"If Prime Minister Shang had knowledge, I am afraid that he would jump out of the coffin and scold these unscrupulous descendants of his!"
Cheng Jingting picked up the wine cup at this time, "In this way, the Jiangnan matter is a perfect solution, and the most lively thing now is Zhou Yuan." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhou Yuan is very lively.
Chow Tai Shan people are very happy.
For the noble man has returned, and has brought back the best news.
He didn't know how that noble man had stopped the Great Grandmaster from coming, it didn't matter, and it wasn't something he could ask.
He only knew that as long as Yan Jidao didn't come, then the two half-step great masters he hid in the mansion were invincible existences!
Even if the Xiao girl next to the regent is also a half-step grand master, isn't there another one on his side?
In addition, the few masters who ran out of Pingjiang City also returned to Zhou Yuan at this moment!
Although they were in the dust, after a short rest, the two knives that dealt with the Mushan knife were more than enough.
"There is a kind of cleverness called self-righteousness!"
In the Wangchun Pavilion, in front of Zhou Dashanren, there were those masters who had just returned from Pingjiang City.
"He, Li Chen'an, pretended to be a disciple of the Hidden Sect, but he didn't know that he had the master of Wanxizhai by his side, as well as the two knives of the Mushan knife...... This is no secret in Kyoto. β
"That noble man has nothing else to ask for, and there is no regent here, only a disciple from the hidden sect."
"Kill them!"
"Keep you rich for the rest of your life!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then they knew that this birthday banquet was actually to assassinate the regent of Ning Kingdom!
Chang Baishu pondered for a moment and asked, "What if you lose?" β
"In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, if we are defeated, that noble man has prepared a way back for us."
"Where is the way back?"
"Go to Annam Province and enter the country of Wu!"
Zhou Dashan stood up, "It's noon, and the guests should arrive." β
"Everyone, please go to the main courtyard with the old man, Li Chen'an is yours, Xiaoqin, it's mine!"
"I'm going to kill Xiaoqin with my own hands with the sword that the young owner made!"
He walked with his hands behind his back:
"Wealth should be sought in danger!"
"Li Chen's death is peaceful, and Ningguo will change the sky."
"On this day...... It is the sky where you and I can spread our wings freely and soar! β
