Chapter 40: Boldness

After Gong Tianhai said goodbye to Ning Zi, after walking out of the range of the Pingning Hou Mansion, he immediately changed the cloak inlaid with sable skin, carried the food box containing Ning Zi's savings, and walked to the Xiping Hou Mansion without hesitation to convey the wrong information.

He didn't know that Zheng Qiyan's shadow guard Yueying had been monitoring him since he met Ning Zi, and now that he saw that he was really fooled, he also went back to report.

As soon as Ning Zi entered the door of the house, she couldn't bear to pat herself from beginning to end as if she was dusty, and she still felt very good in her heart, so she picked up her skirt and ran back to the clean room to wash herself again, and she felt better.

As soon as she came out after cleaning, she saw Su Bai, who was said to have been poisoned and dumb and broke her tendons, Ning Zi was a little embarrassed, although she obeyed Zheng Qiyan's order to break blindly like this to win Gong Tianhai's trust, but she was always afraid that a word would become a proverb, and Su Bai had an accident because of this, so she didn't blame herself for dying?

Su Bai smiled and said to Ning Zi: "The seventh master sent a bunch of exquisite things to Madame to relieve boredom, Madame dislikes too many things, you want to put away some of them and enjoy them slowly, you come and help." ”

Ning Zi responded, and Su Bai saw that her face was a little red, and couldn't help asking, "Are things going well?" ”

Su Bai knew that Gong Tianhai had raised an outer room outside, and he also knew that Jintong planned to kill Gong Tianhai after giving birth, and then find a father with some status for Ning Zi, and give Ning Zi as a concubine, and marry her with a more noble identity.

"There was nothing wrong, I coaxed Gong Tianhai for the time being." Ning Zi knew that Gong Tianhai's betrayal of the Jingbei Hou Mansion was too involved, so she didn't dare to say more, so she changed the topic after answering vaguely: "Sister Subai, what kind of gadgets did the seventh master give to Mrs. Why doesn't Mrs. like it? ”

Su Bai said helplessly: "The seventh master moved a bunch of swords, guns, swords, halberds, as well as bronze men who can fight, trap locks or something, let Mrs. usually enjoy more fun and fun, when the time comes, Xiao Shizi is born, he must be a martial arts wizard." ”

Ning Zi smiled unkindly: "Then the lady still doesn't beat the seventh master out of anger?" ”

Su Bai couldn't help laughing, and the two of them chatted all the way to Yanbo Haomiaoxuan.

As soon as she returned to Yanbo Haomiaoxuan, Ning Zi couldn't help but relax, and she consciously successfully completed the task given to her by Zheng Qiyan, and her face couldn't help revealing a little joy, which made Jintong, who knew that she was going to see Gong Tianhai today, was so anxious that she almost got angry, but she couldn't show it on her face, and she almost suffered internal injuries.

"What's wrong with your face?" Jintong couldn't hold back in the end, and asked, she wondered in her heart: These two guys went out on a date, could it be that because the kiss scene was too intense, they all gnawed on Ning Zi's face?

Ning Zi pursed her mouth: "Madam, the slave maid went out badly today, she stepped on dog shit when she went out, and when she came back, she was even more miserable, she was actually hit by bird droppings, and the slave maid finally scrubbed it clean, madam, you smell it, does the slave still smell?" ”

A room full of sympathy and schadenfreude smiled, Jintong said: "Later, I will ask Mama Liu to bring you two bottles of flower fairy fragrance, you can spray vigorously, and keep the whole person incense for a few days." ”

Qiao Lu said: "Sister Ning Zi, it is said that it is a good thing to take shit luck, and my sister wants to have a treat." ”

The master and servant made a few fuss and tidied up all the things, and after settling Jintong, they took turns guarding Jintong outside.

The Changping position in Shangjing, the best listening corner small group headed by Xu Ying, is hidden in the largest granary Changping in Shangjing, on the beam of Tianyiyin's warehouse, and admires a "good show" below.

The lanterns hanging between the pillars shone brightly on a team of hard-working granary handymen. A dozen or so people removed grain from the beams, poured the white rice into a large reed mat, and immediately several people used shovels to mix in crushed stones, fine grass sticks, and other miscellaneous items. As soon as the debris was mixed in, several people waved wooden rakes and stirred them like rice grains. In this way, good guys, one bag of rice becomes three bags of rice.

Working overtime for two hours in one night, three to four hundred bags of high-quality rice were smuggled out. According to incomplete statistics from Xu Ying and others, this month, at least nearly 10,000 bags of high-quality grains such as wheat millet were exchanged and quietly sent to the farm outside Hu Chao in Xiping for winemaking.

In this situation, Qing Hong, who is a newcomer, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and quietly complained to Xu Ying: "Brother Ying, His Royal Highness King Rui can obviously use it directly, but he still sent so many people to exchange one bag of rice into three bags, and left so many witnesses for us, do you think he is stupid?" ”

Xu Ying made a silent movement, Qinghong obediently shut up, and continued to crouch in the shadows to observe.

King Rui and Hu Chao didn't know that the small actions they thought were secret had already been spied on by others, so they were waiting for the opportunity to attack so that they could completely wipe out Concubine Chen's party.

Hu Chao told King Rui the news that Zheng Qiyan secretly supported Li Wei, the king of Wei, and at this time King Rui was analyzing the matter with several of his think tanks.

"Lord Wang, if the Marquis of Pingning supports the King of Wei, then the King of Jin is also on the side of the King of Wei." Ke Xu, the head of the think tank, stroked his beard and said.

Li Heng is not worried, his father has always hated him, and his mother, who is known as the East and the Ming Lord, has never appeared. Li Heng's biggest reliance is Zheng Qiyan. ”

The mother family of King Jin is one of the three most mysterious families of the Great Yi Dynasty, and there has always been a rumor among the folk that "the East is out, and the Lord is present". The Holy Lord originally married the late Gongchun Concubine Dongfang Qing as the imperial concubine, but it was just to use the power of the Dongfang clan to increase his bargaining chips for himself, so that he could squeeze out the regent and succeed in taking power.

But the Dongfang family came out, and after giving him a concubine, he disappeared without a trace, and even Dongfang Qing died in childbirth, and the Dongfang family turned a blind eye.

When Li Heng was young, because of the rumor that "out of the east, the master is now", Concubine Chen often wanted to secretly kill Li Heng, so as to strangle the threat in the cradle. But Empress Jiang watched it closely, and Concubine Chen failed to succeed. Later, she felt that the Holy Lord disliked or even disliked Li Heng, and Empress Jiang sent Li Heng to Huben Mountain, and Concubine Chen gave up.

"Don't be too underestimated! King Jin's reputation among the people is not lower than that of King Wei. If he chooses the king of Wei as his master, the height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes will be occupied by them. ”

"Kofuzi has a point! Among the four armies, Pingning Hou has the highest prestige, and if he can get the support of Pingning Hou, half of the world will be in hand. "When Zheng Qiyan fought in the Quartet, the four armies of the Great Yi Dynasty Qinglan, Tiejia, Chi Feather, and Huwei, the four armies were all commanded, and there was no one in the army who disobeyed him, and his prestige was extremely high.

King Rui rubbed his forehead with his hand, how could he not know that Zheng Qiyan could get half of the world. But the problem is that Zheng Qiyan's guy is completely two faces when he fights outside and is an official in the court, and in the middle of the court, he is called a slippery hand to win a loach, and his attitude is ambiguous with anyone, and he doesn't have the slightest handle. The most devastating thing is that he doesn't even have a son-in-law, and he can't do it if he wants to threaten the old one by taking care of the small. Now it's simpler, keeping filial piety for his mother and not going out, how can he catch him?

King Rui looked at the bright moon outside the window sadly, the new year is coming, although the Holy Body of the Father Emperor is not very healthy, but who can calculate when he will die? Fortunately, he did not set up a prince, so that their brothers still had the strength to fight.

In the palace, their mother's body is declining day by day, and the harem has never lacked beauties, and the concubine can't help their brothers a lot.

Li Wei, the king of Wei, controls the court situation, and Zheng Qiyan really supports him, so how can he be pulled down?

King Rui's brows were furrowed, and there was a sense of frustration that he couldn't do it. He really wanted to give up, but their brothers had no way out, if one of them could not be the lord of the world, then the only thing to greet their mother and son was death.
