Chapter 30 Heyang Palace
Dijing, the palace of the king of Jin.
"Lord Wang, a guest has asked to see you. This person is a little weird, he has never shown his true face with a hat, and the old slave does not dare to make an argument to put people in, and I hope that you will have an idea. Steward Li knocked on the door of the study and asked.
He Yujin raised his eyes when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he didn't remember that he had made an appointment today, although it was strange, he still said: "Invite people into the front hall, and this king will come." ”
With a hat, the long wind that was stuffy with hot sweat looked at the sandalwood plaque inlaid with gold rim in the Jin Palace, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the glory, it seems that this Jin King is indeed reused, and he is a celebrity next to him today, so he can enjoy this honor.
At this point, he recalled that if his master was in this imperial capital, it would not be an exaggeration to use precious jade for the plaque of this mansion.
"This guest, the prince invites you to go to the front hall." Steward Li stepped out of the threshold and respectfully led Changfeng into the mansion.
Because Ji Changye had an entrustment before leaving, Changfeng didn't dare to find out his identity, so he came to the imperial capital wearing a hat and asked to see Ji Changye's former friend, who is the current Jin Wangye, and Yujin.
And He Yujin did not delay time after listening to Steward Li's advice, and immediately put down the brush and went to the front hall.
When Changfeng's figure broke into his eyes, he and Yujin were a little familiar, and when Changfeng took off his hat, he was even more surprised, and his tone was irrepressible joy: "Changfeng, how are you here?" Did Brother Ji return to the imperial capital, and where is he now? ”
"Lord Jin, thank you for your concern. This time, only one of his subordinates returned to the imperial capital. My grandfather's old illness has not yet been cured, and he is mixed with trivial matters, so he can't come back for the time being. ”
Changfeng knew that Ji Changye and He Yujin had been friendly for many years, but when he heard these words of He Yujin, he couldn't help but be moved, because in this imperial capital, there are rotten and cold interests and cannibalistic power and wealth everywhere, and such friendship is rare.
The look of anticipation in Heyu Jin's eyes dimmed, and after calming down, he sat down and said, "Yes, Brother Ji's illness will be difficult to heal for a while and a half, and it is not suitable for turbulence." This Dijing is very dirty, if he doesn't come back, he can get better faster. That Changfeng, you came back from Brother Ji this time, and came to see me again, but what happened? ”
On weekdays, Changfeng and Ji Changye are inseparable, unless Ji Changye has something important that Changfeng needs to do, so He Yujin quickly said the purpose of Changfeng's visit.
Time was pressing, Changfeng put aside the old memories for the time being, and presented the repair book written by Ji Changye to He Yujin: "Lord Jin, the identity of my grandfather is suspected. ”
He Yujin was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly opened the envelope, and after roughly reading through the letter, he understood the ins and outs, he made a thoughtful look, and said: "I never thought that Ji Changhe could have eyeliner in that kind of remote town, his hand is really big." ”
Back then, he and Yu Jin and Ji Changye found out that Ji Changhe had the intention of rebellion, but because there was no evidence that Ji Changhe could not be cured, Ji Changye was also inexplicably infected with poison and injured, and this matter has always made He Yujin worried and worried.
He Yujin thought that after a few years, Ji Changhe would be restrained, and he didn't want him to be a thief, so don't blame him for not showing mercy to Ji Changye's subordinates.
Changfeng looked at He Yujin with a worried expression, and when he saw his brows relaxed, he hurriedly asked, "Then Lord Jin, what should I do next?" If my father's identity is exposed, this person has murderous intentions, and it is really auspicious in that kind of place. ”
He Yujin comforted: "You and Brother Ji don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it all to me." Thanks to the distance between the imperial capital and the town, there was a chance for us to do it. No matter how capable Ji Changhe is, this letter can't escape the bumpy road, and it is like this, if there is any accident along the way, no one will suspect anything.
Seeing that He Yujin had already made up his mind, Changfeng's heart that had been hanging all the way finally let go, since Ji Changye trusted He Yujin, he had no reason to worry about anything.
Steward Li came to deliver tea, and He Yujin immediately stopped and ordered: "You go and pick a few trustworthy secret guards to guard outside the Heyang Palace." Be wary of any outsiders when they go, and stop and search them when they come out, and if they find any letters, they will definitely send them. "This trick is to steal the beam and change the pillar.
Changfeng hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "My subordinates have thanked the prince of Jin for his help for my grandfather, by the way, my grandfather asked my subordinates to bring it to you, so that you can try it." With that, Changfeng opened the box brought in the package and put it in front of He Yujin.
Looking at the cake inside, He Yujin asked with some novelty, "What is this?" ”
"This is a dessert cake, it is made by a lady I met in the town, the taste is delicious and the style is fresh, I can't find it in the world, so my grandfather asked his subordinates and the prince to bring two pieces to taste." Changfeng remembered that Song Qian said that if the cream on this cake was left for a long time, it would spoil and spoil, so he deliberately put it in the ice box, and he finally had time to travel overnight, but the cream was only a little dry and not spoiled.
Hearing that Ji Changye asked him to send it, He Yujin no longer hesitated anything, and praised after tasting it: "But it's a new thing, I have never tasted it in Dijing." This lady should be skillful, so Brother Ji is blessed. ”
Changfeng laughed embarrassedly after hearing this, thinking that blessed is blessed, but his master is not angry, he doesn't take the initiative to accept this blessing! If he had been enlightened, Song Qian would have been his wife a long time ago, and how much this blessing would be.
He Yujin arranged a place for Changfeng to live and let him leave after the matter was done, Changfeng did not refuse but it was difficult to live with peace of mind, worried about whether this matter could be done.
Until the night, the secret guard arranged by Steward Li came to report that he had caught a person and found a letter.
Changfeng and He Yujin hurriedly went to the firewood room where the people were detained, and the person who was knocked unconscious and dragged was Xiang San.
The letter that was searched out was indeed Ji Changhe's reply, and Ji Changye's identity was written in detail, if it was in the hands of Cheng Wenyu, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This letter is not Ji Changhe's handwriting, he has been very busy recently, presumably it was ghostwritten by his subordinates who are in constant contact with Cheng Wenyu. If we take that person down before Ji Changhe returns, the chances of this matter being exposed will be reduced. This time, He Yujin couldn't help but regret that he took it after the person came out of the Heyang Palace, but because Changfeng was not suitable to show his face, it was difficult to say whether he would startle the snake and catch the wrong person.
Because this letter must be handed over to Cheng Wenyu by Xiang San's own hands to be believed, and before that, Xiang San must also know that this letter was taken out by him personally from the Heyang Palace.
When Changfeng heard this, he said: "I will go and catch people, and it will be quiet." ”
"By all means, the Heyang Palace's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for you to deal with it alone, if you are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable." He Yujin didn't give Changfeng a chance, and hurriedly refused.
Although He Yujin trusted Changfeng, it was indeed not difficult to do this kind of kidnapping with his skills and experience over the years, but after all, the other party was from Heyang Palace, where there were many masters and royal guards sent by the Son of Heaven, plus Changfeng wanted to go alone, it was even more difficult.
Changfeng was suddenly deflated and had no idea.
He Yujin was not in a hurry, calmed down and thought for a moment before having an idea: "Now I can only gamble, I heard that Ji Changhe will return home in two days, and there will be a banquet for the ministers and family members of the court, at that time, we can take advantage of the chaos to sneak in, first find the person to knock out and bring him out, find a corpse similar to him to fake his death, saying that he was drunk and burned to death by lighting a firewood stack, and it can be delayed for a while." ”
In fact, this method and Yu Jin have no bottom, so they can only take advantage of Ji Chang's busy weekdays, as well as the reason why there are many people at this banquet to procrastinate, and take one step at a time. Now that he doesn't have much power, he can only do this, so he can only beg Ji Changye to recover early and return to the imperial capital safely.
Seeing He Yujin's embarrassed look, Changfeng was grateful: "This time I have to bother the prince of Jin, if you can't expose yourself and set yourself on fire, my lord naturally doesn't want to see you so embarrassed." ”
"If you can solve problems for Brother Ji, how can you talk about this? Don't worry, I've done all these things. Now it's inconvenient for me to keep you longer, Brother Ji must be in a hurry to wait for you to go back, you will rush back first, if this matter becomes a letter, I will send someone to send a letter to the past, if not, you really have to grit your teeth, don't say that you have come to see me, and involve Brother Ji in this matter. ”
Changfeng also wanted to kneel down and thank Yu Jin and be helped up.
In order to live up to He Yujin, Changfeng didn't stay long, rushed back to the town overnight, and told Ji Changye about the matter.
But now it's too late to say anything, he can only ask for all safety, but if something really happens, he will definitely not let He Yujin bear the guilt, because this shows that he can't hide, and it's time to understand with Ji Changhe.
Just as the two of them were talking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Song Qian's voice: "Ji Gongzi, I made some lotus root flour osmanthus cake and honey tea, and sent them to you to taste." ”
After getting Ji Changye's nod, Changfeng went to open the door, and Ji Changye put away the letter at this time, so Song Qian didn't find anything unusual after he came in.
"Thank you, Mrs. Song."
Today, Song Qian stripped all the scattered green silk, which was very clean and neat. Because she had just finished her work, her forehead was still covered with a layer of fine sweat, and her cheeks were stained red. Seeing this, Ji Changye hurriedly looked away, only feeling stuffy in his chest and his heart beating fast at this time.
Changfeng's attention was all on eating, and he hurriedly greeted Ji Changye, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the roots of his ears were red: "Master, where are you uncomfortable?" Is it an old disease? ”
said that Changfeng was going to help Ji Changye, but he didn't think that the other party was very strong and pushed him away, and said: "I'm fine, Changfeng, you go and help Song Niangzi do some work." ”
Song Qian was about to leave, but when he heard this, he hurriedly refused: "No, there is not much work in the courtyard and on the shop, I can do it alone." Changfeng also nodded in agreement, he was really reluctant to give up the sweet and delicious lotus root flour osmanthus cake and honey tea!
Ji Changye insisted: "It's all heavy work of moving things, and Song Niangzi may be difficult to deal with alone, so let's ask Changfeng to help." ”
At this time, he had calmed down a lot, but he still didn't want them to pay attention to his appearance, and his tone was a little hurried.
Changfeng seemed to see something, and suddenly responded cheerfully: "Yes, what the master said is." Song Niangzi, don't be polite, I can do any work. Let's go quickly, don't delay the business in the shop. ”
Before Song Qian could speak, he was taken away by Changfeng half-pushed and half-pulled. Ji Changye turned around at this time, looking at the lotus root flour osmanthus cake and honey tea in front of him, and couldn't help but feel that he was too strange just now.
What's wrong with you?
In the next two days, Changfeng often went to the shop to help, but he looked absent-minded, because he was worried about the incident in the imperial capital and the Yangwang Mansion.
At night, he escorted Song Qian and Yuanbao back to the house, and when he was about to go to Ji Changye's room, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing on the roof, and the next moment it fell in front of him.
