Chapter 631: Half Fiction and Half Reality
At noon the next day, the Donghai Teahouse was bustling with people, noisy as usual.
"Two masters, please inside!"
With a shout, Zhao Yuan and Qin Wei walked into the teahouse leisurely.
Standing in the lobby, Qin Wei raised his eyes and looked around, looking back and forth among the full tea guests, as if he was looking for someone.
"Two uncles......"
Without waiting for the guy in the teahouse to come forward to greet him, Qin Wei casually threw him a silver ingot and urged: "My master likes to be quiet, and arranges a private room to serve." ”
"Gotcha!" the guy saw that Qian was open-eyed, and hurriedly dusted off Zhao Yuan's legs with the towel on his shoulder, and said flatteringly, "Two uncles, please upstairs!"
Looking at the tea guests who were talking and laughing loudly, listening to the small tunes of the singers on the stage, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and murmured: "It's really 'the merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.'" ’”
"Sir, please!"
When he went out, especially in a place like the Donghai Teahouse, Qin Wei didn't dare to call Zhao Yuan "Hou Ye" or "Adult", and only addressed him as "Master", so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Walking upstairs, the guy introduced Zhao Yuan and the others into the private room, and said respectfully: "What kind of tea do the two uncles drink?"
"Where is Shunxi?" Qin Wei said impatiently, "He knows my master's preferences, so he asked him to come over and serve." ”
"Oh! It turns out that the two of them are Shunxi's customers. The man's voice was slightly lost, "Uncle, wait, the little one is going to call Shunxi." ”
After that, the guy glanced at Zhao Yuan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, a few times, and then checked the silver ingot in his hand, sighed, and walked out of the room with his head shaken.
"Master, this Shun Xi...... Is it really reliable?" Seeing the guy walking away, Qin Wei couldn't hold back the apprehension in his heart, and said suspiciously, "Will he leak the news?"
"No!" Zhao Yuan said firmly, "Ling Xiaoxiao personally told me that Shunxi is her cronies who were planted in the Donghai Teahouse, and she is absolutely reliable. ”
"Early this morning, I told Shunxi the master's instructions and asked him to send a message to Ling Xiaoxiao, but why is there no trace of Ling Xiaoxiao now?" Qin Wei said worriedly, "Could it be that Ling Xiaoxiao is still under house arrest in the Xianwang Mansion?"
"I don't know. Zhao Yuan's expression was solemn, as if he was also worried in his heart.
"Bang, bang!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by a shrill voice: "Is it Master Zhao who came from Lin'an in the room?"
"Master, it's Shunxi's voice. Qin Wei's face changed, and he hurriedly explained to Zhao Yuan in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan groaned slightly, and then nodded slightly. Qin Wei understood, and said loudly: "It is Master Zhao who is sitting inside." Shunxi, have you arrived with the guests invited by the master?"
"It's here. ”
With an answer, the door was slowly pushed open. Immediately afterwards, a guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks led two young men with delicate facial features and tall posture into the wing.
The guy is Ling Xiaoxiao's cronies, Shunxi. The other two young people are Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, disciples of the Wudang faction.
Zheng Songren was ordered by Qingfeng to lead people to Luoyang City and arrived at King Xian's Mansion last night.
Seeing that it was not Ling Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yuan's eyes quietly changed, and a hint of caution welled up between his eyebrows.
A few uncles talked slowly, and the small ones stood guard outside the door. ”
Shun Xi poured tea and water, and then exited the wing room with great interest.
Qin Wei glanced at Zhao Yuan, who was silent, and turned his suspicious gaze to Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, and asked, "...... are the two?"
"I am Zheng Songren, a disciple of the Wudang faction, and this is my junior brother Zhang Songyi. Zheng Songren arched his hand and said, "The two of us were ordered by Senior Sister Xiaoxiao to come to visit Lord Zhao. ”
In the face of Zheng Songren's greetings, Zhao Yuan was silent, still looking them up and down with malicious eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Wei frowned and asked Zheng Songren, "How can the two of you prove your identity?"
"Your Excellency, please look!"
Zheng Songren took out a hairpin from his arms and explained: "This is my senior sister's thing, and I should have seen it in Xiangyun Silk Village that day." In addition, Shun Hee can also prove the identity of the two of us......"
"Okay!" Zhao Yuan glanced at the hairpin, and then he knew it in his chest, and interrupted, "What is the situation of Mrs. Luo? Why don't you come in person?"
"With Lord Lao's concern, Senior Sister is all right. It's just that the senior sister has a tail behind her and follows her every step of the way, so it's inconvenient to come out and meet the adults. Zheng Songren said, "Therefore, he sent us to come and talk to the adults in the name of going out to buy." ”
Zhao Yuan's eyes swelled, and he said tentatively: "Then do you have a tail behind you?"
"Don't worry, my lord, we were very careful when we came, and we have repeatedly confirmed that no one is following us. ”
Seeing Zheng Songren's words, Zhao Yuanfang's face softened, and then he pointed to the stool next to the table, and said with a light smile: "The matter is big, and there is no room for mistakes." The two young heroes were wary of blaming Ben Hou. ”
"Don't dare!"
After that, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi sat down, and Zhao Yuan personally pushed two cups of tea in front of them.
"Since Mrs. Lotus has sent the two of them to meet me, she must have placed her trust. Zhao Yuan got straight to the point, "Even so, Ben Hou no longer goes around in circles." I went to my wife just to tell her two things. ”
"I want to hear about it!"
"First, the whereabouts of Yan Bugui have been found, and she is in the hands of Yun Chasing the Moon, the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain, and her life is safe. Zhao Yuan said unhurriedly, "However, Yun Chaiyue already knows our plan and has decided to help us. ”
"This ......"
"Please rest assured, Madame, Ben Hou has repeatedly interrogated Yun Chasing the Moon, and there is nothing suspicious. ”
Zheng Songren first glanced at Zhang Songyi, and then asked Zhao Yuan, "In that case, when does Yun Chaiyue plan to let the fourth master of the wild goose come back?"
This is the second thing. Zhao Yuan said bluntly, "Yan Bugui will not come back for the time being, she has been taken hostage by Yun Chaiyue." ”
"Hostage?" As soon as these words came out, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi couldn't help but look surprised, and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
"Yun Chasing the Moon takes the wild goose as a hostage, and hopes that Mrs. Luo will not beat Xiao Zhirou's idea. Zhao Yuan said frankly, "Yun Chaiyue knew that Madame was bent on putting Xiao Zhirou to death, so she begged Madame to be kind and let her go." When Xiao Zhirou leaves the Luoyang realm safely, he will release the geese and not return. ”
"Yun Chasing the Moon is a heretical demon, how can you believe his words?" Zhang Song said indignantly, "Your Excellency, don't be deceived by this person......"
"This matter is guaranteed by Ben Hou, and the two of you don't have to worry. Zhao Yuan was displeased, and said in a deep voice, "You tell Madame that I, she, and Yun Chaiyue are now in the same boat, which can be described as both glory and loss." Therefore, Ben Hou hopes that his wife can focus on the overall situation, put aside the private feelings of her children for the time being, and don't lose a big one because of a small thing. ”
"This ......"
"Yun Chaiyue said that if Madame refuses to agree, not only will Yan not return and his life will be guaranteed, but he will also disrupt our plan and make us fail. Zhao Yuan looked at Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, who were looking at each other, and said meaningfully, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Xiao Zhirou and Luo Tianjin, I believe that Mrs. has her own decision. ”
"Okay!" Zheng Songren nodded slowly, "We will tell Senior Sister the instructions of the adults word for word, as for how she chooses......"
"Madame is very clever, and Benhou is sure that she will not do anything stupid. ”
Seeing that Zhao Yuan was confident and had the potential to catch the duck on the shelf, Zheng Songren couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he didn't dare to argue with him, so he smiled slightly and drank the tea in the cup.
"Do you have any other commands?"
"Nope. Zhao Yuan groaned, "The rest of the matter will be notified to you when Ben Hou plans it is thorough." ”
"Okay!" Zheng Songren said with a look on his face, "Before coming here, Senior Sister instructed us that there is a question that must be answered clearly from adults. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What's the matter?"
"Senior sister wants to ask, the black fan of the Xianwang Mansion is looking for clothes...... Is it the inner response of adults?"
With just one word, Qin Wei's eyes changed suddenly, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to say more.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan's face was still calm, and Yun asked lightly, "Why do you ask that?"
"What happened in the Xianwang Mansion yesterday, adults should have heard about it. Zheng Songren said, "Right now, it is rumored that Liu Xunyi is the internal response of the imperial court placed by the lord of the Luo League, I don't know ......."
"Haha......" Before Zheng Songren finished speaking, Zhao Yuan suddenly laughed loudly, and waved his hand again and again, "Benhou not only hopes that Liu Xunyi is my internal response, but also hopes that the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion are my internal response." In this way, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble? It's a pity that it backfired, these people were loyal to Luo Tianjin, and they didn't want to be driven by the imperial court at all. ”
Zheng Songren was suspicious: "In this way, Liu Xunyi is not from the imperial court?"
"Don't hide it from the two of you, I tried to win Liu Xunyi back to the court. Zhao Yuan had already figured out Ling Xiaoxiao's thoughts thoroughly, so he said in a matter-of-fact manner, "He was very righteous to him, and he was also shaken and helped me a little." For example......"
As for this, Zhao Yuan cast his secretive gaze on Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, seeing that the two of them looked expectant, their expressions were nervous, and they became more and more sure of their speculation in their hearts, so they smiled bitterly: "For example, he once created an opportunity for me to talk alone with my wife in Xiangyun Silk Village." ”
"Shhh
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The reason why Ling Xiaoxiao suspected that Liu Xunyi was a person from the imperial court, in addition to a farce that happened yesterday, the biggest suspicion was the secret meeting of Xiangyun Silk Village.
Now, if Zhao Yuan doesn't admit himself, how can he not be surprised?
"In this case, Liu Xunyi has betrayed the leader of the Luo League......"
"No!" Zhao Yuan waved his hand, "It's just this once." Since then, Liu Xunyi has refused to pay attention to Benhou, as if he has regretted it. Last night, he gave me an eviction order on behalf of Luo Tianjin, and told Ben Hou righteously that he would not betray Luo Tianjin again. In this regard, Ben Hou was very helpless. ”
After saying that, Zhao Yuan's expression darkened, and he looked sorry for what he could meet but could not seek.
Seeing this, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi's hearts were full of doubts and uncertainties.
After hesitating again and again, Zhang Songyi suddenly spoke: "Since Liu Xunyi is not an adult's internal response, it is a stumbling block for senior sisters." So we went after him...... Don't be merciful?"
"There is absolutely no need to be merciful!" Zhao Yuan was so smart that he naturally understood that this was a deliberate test of himself, so he said righteously, "Not only do you not have to be merciful, but please don't miss it." When you kill him, pass on a word for me by the way. ”
"My lord, please. ”
"As a Han Chinese, there is no loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in his eyes. Stubborn, he is a dog of Luo Tianjin, he is simply innocent of death, and it is not a pity to die!"
