That person is Cai Xianqing, and he is exactly the same.

He led Xia Yuanlong to a teahouse and ordered good tea to brew; And they sat under the pergola and spoke.

"Who the hell are you? I see you're looking for me in a hurry. ”

"My name is Xia Yuanlong, I am a friend of Wei Huai, I heard that you are very familiar with Wei Sacrifice Wine, so I came to ask you to do something."

"Mr. Wei?" Cai Xianqing pondered for a while before laughing: "How can you talk about familiarity!" It's just that I admire his ambition, and there is nothing else to do. A few days ago, I was busy building another theater troupe, and recently I have to sell a house, so I don't know how Mr. Wei is doing. ”

"A few of us built a college, and we did a pretty good job......

"That's good." Cai Xianqing bowed.

"But ......" Xia Yuanlong deliberately slowed down his voice to see how he reacted.

Cai Xianqing saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Say it!" ”

"Then ......," Xia Yuanlong smiled apologetically, "I'll just say it." Because Mr. Wei offended the government, he was locked up in the number room by the prefect and convicted of a big crime. I think the prince must have nodded and agreed to this matter, knowing that you are most appreciated by the prince, I hereby invite you...... Find a way to persuade the prince to save the Wei sacrifice wine. ”

"What's going on?" Cai Xianqing asked worriedly.

"Because Mr. Wei insisted on reform, he contradicted the prefect, and finally convicted him of inciting good people and was arrested and imprisoned. I'm trying to save the sacrificial wine from coming out...... But without power and power, it is difficult to do anything. Xia Yuanlong said, sighing a little tiredly.

Cai Xianqing was silent. He only pursues ambition, and he has grovelled to curry favor with Wan Heshun for several years just thinking about soaring to the sky. But now a hero he admires is in prison, and if he wants to save him, he must take all kinds of risks and do a stupid thing that has nothing to do with his future. He is by no means the kind of free and easy righteous man who acts righteously, and he is naturally very difficult in his heart.

Xia Yuanlong raised his eyelids and looked at him.

"It's on me." Cai Xianqing's gaze is sincere, not mixed with any wavering emotions.

"Great!" Xia Yuanlong smiled and grabbed Cai Xianqing's hand, "That Wei sacrificial wine can be saved!" ”

"Not necessarily. If Lord Wan disagrees, then I have nothing to do. Cai Xianqing said.

"Then please tell me what you want to do about this, I'm here to help you with the staff, okay?"

"Of course." Cai Xianqing said with a smile, and took the hot tea just brought by the store, "You just drink it." ”

Xia Yuanlong took the tea and took a sip, which was very light.

"I have been invited by the palace in the past two days, and I am going to take the troupe to perform there, and then I will take the opportunity to persuade the prince to let Mr. Wei go. I want to do it. ”

"Shop, we also eat tea!"

Xia Yuanlong was about to answer, when he heard a few servants behind him talking, he secretly glanced at them a few times, and saw that their sleeves were almost soaked with sweat, and there were a lot of beads of sweat on their faces, and they were all sitting on the stool behind them, wiping their faces with the corners of their clothes.

"Yo, isn't this Xianqing!" They recognized it at a glance and blurted it out.

"It's down there. Brothers, did you just come back from your busy work? Cai Xianqing replied fluently, without the slightest panic.

"yes. Who are you bringing with you? ”

"Friend, come with me for tea!" He laughed.

After chatting for a while, the men turned their heads and began to drink tea together.

Xia Yuanlong was afraid that they would hear about saving Wei Huai, and if he turned around and told the prefect, things would be difficult to handle; He didn't dare to walk away with Cai Xianqing, which would attract suspicion.

He had to look down at the slightly rippling tea, and suddenly he had an idea, and said, "Tea is good tea," he blew on the hot air floating from the tea bowl, "but it is lighter, it is better to be a little stronger, and you have to add sugar." ”

Cai Xianqing had never heard of the custom of eating tea and adding sugar here, so he saved him from saying that this was an extraneous voice, so he smiled and said: "There is no sugar here." ”

"Who says sugar-free is a good thing?" Xia Yuanlong said, "If you can sing a drama to help the fun, it will be enough to be sugar." I don't know if there is a singing section dedicated to this tea? ”

"There must be. Otherwise, the villain will raise his voice a few times, please listen? Cai Xianqing didn't know what it meant, and threw out this sentence to probe.

The eyes of the officer behind him also wandered.

"It's not a joke. You are going to the palace in a few days, isn't it just right to perform a tea singing scene, when the prince sees it, he knows that you are secretly persuading him to eat tea, which is naturally better than your direct advice, and the prince will not blame him, right? ”

Cai Xianqing took a sip of tea, squinted his sly eyes, and said, "It makes sense." ”

"Shall we go?" Cai Xianqing ate all the tea and asked.

"It's time to go." They laughed at each other, went to the shopkeeper to settle the money, and went to a narrow alley together.

When an errand officer saw them gone, he patted the gang: "Hurry up, I see what they are going to discuss!" ”

Several people put down their tea, wiped their mouths with their sleeves, and each took a knife, and ran in the direction of the alley.

When they got closer, they deliberately made a longer distance, leaning against the whitewashed wall, and under the cover of the shade of the trees, they slowly marched in the dark light, spying on the movements of the two of them.

They followed for a moment, and saw no matter what they were talking about; It wasn't until an intersection that Cai Xianqing said a word, but unfortunately it was just a goodbye, and the two then went their separate ways. Still unrelenting, the servants waited for a while before returning listlessly the way they came, and said to the man who was waiting at the teahouse, "They have no conspiracy. ”

……

Three days later. In front of the Jiankang Palace.

Cai Xianqing led a group of actors from the troupe, and rushed to the palace in a carriage gifted by Wan Wangye.

The actors sat in the car and told jokes and chatted, Cai Xianqing got out of the car first in this noise, and they followed closely behind, and they didn't forget to chat non-stop when they got out of the car.

"Don't talk about the twitter! This is the palace! Cai Xianqing roared.

And all the people were silent.

Cai Xianqing didn't speak, knocked on the door of the mansion, and an old slave came out of it, and he smiled diligently: "Old Xu, I'm here with my apprentices, please help us guide the way." ”

"Xianqing, how many times have you been here, don't be so polite! Come, I'll show you the way! The old man laughed.

"Come along!" Cai Xianqing's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly at the actors.

Cai Xianqing waited for two doors, passed through the waiting hall, and then opened the west door with a key, facing a wide alley, with huge pine trees planted on both sides, enough to hug. They walked for a long time, and walked under a stone arch, and there were three words written crookedly in the door, Cai Xianqing didn't know much, and only saw the word 'garden', so he understood that this was the garden of the palace.

As soon as they entered the garden, the road widened and led in all directions, and was surrounded by verdant trees, which almost obscured the halls and the like, with only two doors on the front; A lake is dug in the garden, and the south side of the lake is leaning against a rockery, which is full of thousands of layers, and it is strange and steep; A pavilion was built in the middle of the lake, and the top of the pavilion was covered with blue-gray tiles, and the pavilion pillars were painted red.

Cai Xianqing was enjoying the scenery and walked to the lake, but suddenly stopped his steps, and called the old servant, who hurriedly turned around, and saw him smiling flatteringly, not knowing what he meant.
