The three of them slept in the car for two or three hours and did not wake up until they entered Los Angeles. At that time, it was twilight, and the carriage entered the city and went straight to the mansion of King Teng in Nancheng, sent Xiao Yuanying, and drove to Xiaofu in Yanqingfang, Dongcheng.

The old slave Cheng Bo was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw the carriage galloping, he hurriedly greeted him. Long Shaoyang got out of the car with Xiao Di in his arms, and Cheng Bo had already taken it.

Perhaps because the drive was too long and the journey was tiring, Xiao Di looked very tired, straightened up with some difficulty, and said with a reluctant smile: "Shaoyang, the hour is not early, rest early." Tomorrow morning, let's go to the East Palace together and present today's events to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Long Shaoyang nodded, and watched Cheng Bo help Xiao Di walk towards the inner courtyard, and then turned to leave. As soon as he took a few steps, he heard someone behind him: "Shaoyang, come here! Look at my memory, I actually brought your burden." It was Xiao Di's voice.

Long Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and turned around and walked forward in confusion.

When Long Shaoyang approached, Xiao Di stretched out his hand and handed over the burden in his arms.

Long Shaoyang immediately understood: Xiao Di's words just now were deliberate. nodded at the moment and said with a smile: "I even forgot, thank you Brother Xiao for reminding me." "I took the burden, and I only felt heavy.

Xiao Di smiled: "You have to take care of your own things, and you must not have a next time." As he spoke, he patted Long Shaoyang on the shoulder, turned around, and was supported by the old slave Cheng Bo, limping into the vast twilight.

Although the scope of Jingzhao Mansion is large, it is very small in the eyes of some people, such as Xiangguo Zhu Skylark. The first minister of Great Qi reported that the gods were all over the world, and the three of Long Shaoyang inspected the new county that day, and met the widow of the general of Dingbei, as well as the news that Long Shaoyang did not buy Wei Guifei's account and forcibly divided the land occupied by the Wei family, and it was transmitted to the Nancheng Prime Minister's Mansion before dark.

"Ponder, Long Shaoyang and the three of them went to Houjiazhai in Xinxian County to meet the old woman of the Hou Wu family?" The lights in the Xiangfu study were bright, and Zhu Yunque asked slowly pacing.

"Not bad. Quietly thought about standing behind him, and said slowly, "The child was placed in Hou Jiazhai's eyes, and I saw with my own eyes that the carriage carrying Long Shaoyang and the three of them was parked outside Mrs. Hou's hut. At this point, there was a pause.

"Hmm. You don't stop, keep talking. "I wish the lark to say.

Jing Si swallowed and foamed, and then said, "The three of them stayed for about two hours before they quit, thinking that they had lunch together. But...... However, according to our people, the three of them seem to have come to Houjiazhai by mistake, not intentionally. ”

Zhu Lark's eyes flashed, "Hit by mistake?"

"Hmm. ”

"How so?"

"Our people said, first, the carriage went around in circles in the col near Houjiazhai for a while, like the coachman got lost. Second, His Royal Highness King Teng ran to the door outside the thatched house and shouted for a long time, just when His Royal Highness was about to leave in a huff, the old woman next to Mrs. Hou came out to open the door, not like it was arranged in advance. ”

"Hmm. Meditation, your analysis makes a lot of sense. Zhu Yunque nodded, smiled mysteriously, "Now even King Teng loves to join in the fun!"

Quietly thought: "His Royal Highness King Teng has always been a person who is not too lively, and he loves to make any excitement. Father-in-law, do you want to put an eyeliner in King Teng's mansion, the child is worried, in case-"

Zhu Yunque waved his hand and said, "No." King Teng's temperament is still clear as his father, timid and boneless, as smooth as a loach. "Anyway, hehe.

Jing Si echoed: "What the righteous father said is that this person is not to worry. ”

Zhu Yunque said: "Our people, have you found anything else suspicious?"

"Please forgive the child for his incompetence. Jing Si suddenly knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "Father-in-law, our people don't dare to come closer, so we have to watch from afar, but the vines are entangled, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and they are mostly in the house, so they can't see clearly, and they can't hear the narration." ”

"Get up. Zhu Lark comforted, "Father doesn't mean to blame you. You have thought it through, that Long Shaoyang is strong in martial arts, deaf and clear-sighted, and Xiao Di was also a vigilant person before, so he should not be underestimated. I can't imagine that you have begun to use your brain to act now, and you are so thoughtful and cautious, it is really in vain for your father's cultivation of you!"

Jing Si hurriedly stood up and bowed down.

Zhu Yunque slowly rubbed the red peiyu on his waist with his right hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "At this moment, Xiao Di and they go to see that old woman, will they have ulterior motives?"

After thinking about it quietly, he said: "Father-in-law, in my humble opinion, Xiao Di will visit Mrs. Hou every year on the death day of General Hou, and it will be like this every year, never stopped, with the friendship between the two families for generations, this is a natural thing. Even if you go a few more times, it makes sense. What kind of storm can a man have in his old age, a sick body and a crippled body? What's more, the child has arranged for his subordinates to go to the hut several times to search, but nothing suspicious has been found. ”

"That makes sense. Zhu Yunque nodded, turned around, and changed the topic, "This time to settle the homeless people, Long Shaoyang actually dismissed the face of Liuxiang Palace in public, but the old man had to be impressed - the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger." With this episode this afternoon, those wealthy families who are still waiting and unwilling to retreat will also be defeated. ”

Quietly thought: "The child heard that Concubine Wei is preparing to return to the palace in advance and go to His Majesty to sue the royal court, if this is the case, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose." ”

Zhu Yunque smiled and said, "Hehe, Jing Si, you don't know our emperor too well." On the surface, he resigned himself to the Liuxiang Palace, and his favor was the same, but once it involved the major politics of the country, His Majesty could still control it, not to mention the resettlement of the displaced people, there was no other good way! The old man could conclude that if this woman sued His Majesty, even if she brought rain and tried her best to win. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "It's just that in this way, the prince's errand is about to be completed! Although this is a trivial matter, the old man still doesn't want to see the matter of putting gold on the prince's face!"

Jing Jing Si wondered: "Father-in-law, since this is the case, why did you still let your children participate in this matter in the first place? This time, many powerful nobles who occupied the land were retreated from this land against you, and the children's participation in this matter really helped His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Yunque smiled slightly: "This is naturally expected by my father. However, the whole thing must be missing, although the prince has won the sacred heart and the hearts of the people, but he has also offended many dignitaries in the court who occupy the land, and the owner of this Liuxiang Palace is one of them. Our old son of Wei Guifei has occupied thousands of acres of ownerless land...... On the day of my father's recommendation, the resettlement of displaced people was tried in the three counties of Meng, Xin, and Yi, and the reason is here. ”

Jing Si's eyes lit up, as if a light flashed, and he said in his heart: "Jiang is still old and spicy, it turns out that my father-in-law has already laid a trap." He immediately bowed down and said: "The father-in-law is far-sighted and unpredictable, and the child admires it." ”

Zhu Yunque was full of pride, glanced at Jing Si, and said: "Jing Si, you said that if someone pulls out her teeth and offends our Wei Guifei, who is as beautiful as a flower in the harem, how will she deal with it?"

"With her fierce temper like fire, I am afraid that she will be spicy in the future. Thinking quietly about the beautiful Wei Guifei who was as beautiful as a delicate flower but had a heart like a snake and scorpion, she couldn't help but feel cold, and continued, "It is naturally inconvenient for her to clash head-on with the prince, so that most of this anger will be sprinkled on Long Shaoyang and them, who are on errands." ”

Zhu Yunque nodded, did not speak, turned away, and looked out the window.

Jing Si looked at his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said tentatively: "Rao is his Long Shaoyang martial arts are strong, and he has a good strategy, and it is difficult to retreat when he encounters a master like Wei Guifei." On that day, he didn't know the current affairs and refused to attach his wings to his father-in-law, and this time he happened to borrow the hand of Liuxiang Palace-" When he said this, when he saw Zhu Yunque suddenly raise his right hand, he intercepted the conversation and hurriedly changed his words: "Father-in-law, what do you mean?"

To be a father means not only to sit idly by. Zhu Yunque groaned, "If it's time to rush, we will also pull him Long Shaoyang." ”

Hearing Zhu Yunque say this, Jing Si was stunned for a moment, almost couldn't believe his ears, and his eyes stared at Zhu Yunque. After a moment of silence, he asked, "The child doesn't quite understand what the righteous father said. ”

Zhu Yunque said: "Quiet thinking a little quietly, all the great talents are different from ordinary people, and small benefits and small profits are not in their eyes." I tempted him with fame and fortune before, but he politely rejected him with the word affection. If this time when he is in danger, we will help him and be kind to him, even if he is stubborn and will never be used by me, with this affection, with his temperament, he will never make a plot against me in the future. ”

"The child understood. After Zhu Yunque finished speaking, he quietly agreed.

"I'm afraid you may not understand. Zhu Lark said slowly, "Meditation, the court hall is different." The competition in the martial arts arena is a competition between one and the other, and the difference between victory and defeat is different, but the comparison above the court is vertical and horizontal, which is used by me. My father-in-law is also a martial artist, and I want to be the same as you are now, always thinking about being brave and ruthless, and being superior. Looking back now, I feel that when I was young, I was more than strong and soft, and I was not soft enough - the combination of rigidity and softness is the way to win. You're still young, and you're a big one, and you'll slowly experience it later—go. ”

Jing Si agreed, bowed out, gently closed the door, and turned to leave. But I couldn't help thinking in my heart: "Long Shaoyang, Long Shaoyang, not only is the young lady enthusiastic about you, but the father-in-law also has a blue eye for you, he missed the opportunity at the last birthday banquet, and he will definitely compete with you one day!

The study fell silent all of a sudden. Outside the window, the moon is in the sky, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the insects are singing among the grass, and there is no one.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement under the pillars of the outer corridor of the study, and a slender and light figure leaned out, only to flash, like an ethereal lonely hong, and disappeared into the shadow of the tree.
