Chapter 10: The Troubled Childe

Hearing Su Jing's words, Wang Yan hesitated a little, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Shuangyue, who was drinking alone.

Su Jing waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to say it, Brother Qin is his own person." ”

Qin Shuangyue raised her head and raised her eyebrows at him, Wang Yan couldn't help but shudder, secretly wondering why this Qin Gongzi looked weird, and then said with a grim expression: "Since Gou Shangshu took the initiative to take the order to copy the Tang family, and found out from the Tang Mansion the letters of General Tang and those old ministers conspiring to rebel over the years, as well as a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, His Majesty has paid more and more attention to him, and he has been sent to the palace every once in a while. I received news that a few days ago, His Majesty not only transferred Gou Yun's son Gou Tang to Liang Shangshu of the household department as a deputy, but also planned to announce the marriage of the Seventh Prince and Gou Yun's daughter on the birthday of Concubine Shuniang. Na Gou Yun is also aggressively recruiting talents, making a big noise. ”

Su Jing's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, comparing the information that the other party said with the information he received in his mind, and said to himself after a while: "It seems that this Gou Yun will not be able to pull it down for a while." What is Liang Shangshu's reaction?"

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "Even if Brother Su doesn't ask, I plan to talk about it." As we all know, that Gou Tang is a well-known gentleman in Luoyang City, and he is used to being idle, and this time he was forcibly stuffed into the household by His Majesty, not to mention that the people in the household department complained, and even he himself was uncomfortable. Every day, I went to the household department to report on the three poles of the day, and I didn't stay for a while before I said that I was unwell and left. Occasionally, there were a few times when he was also full of alcohol, lying there and sleeping soundly, making the diligent and conscientious Liang Shangshu angry enough. It is said that Liang Shangshu also made a special trip to the palace to find His Majesty for this matter, but every time His Majesty said that Gou Tang was still young, and it would be good to hone and hone more, so that Liang Shangshu would bother more. His Majesty is saying good things for him, what else can Liang Shangshu do? By the way, Liang Shangshu asked me to ask Brother Su when I could get that bastard boy away. He said the last sentence with his eyes widened, and even his nostrils were stretched a little wider, like the little old man who blew his beard and stared at him when he was angry.

Su Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really embarrassing for Liang Shangshu." But I haven't seen you for a few months, Brother Wang, your personality is a lot more cheerful. ”

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Let Brother Su laugh." Recently, Clumsy Jing's body has improved greatly, and he can already eat half a bowl of clear porridge. It's all Brother Su......"

"You don't have to take it personally. Before he finished speaking, Su Jing waved his hand and said, "In comparison, what you did for me is much more dangerous." By the way, those old scholars of the Hanlin Academy didn't suspect you, did they?"

Wang Yan smiled slyly and said, "This group of people have been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and they only have those books and booklets in their eyes, and they wish I could run errands for their entertainment." Anyway, I'm the only young person in it, and it's normal to be self-motivated. At most, people will say a few words about the people who have slipped around and patted the horse, what does it matter. Speaking of this, he patted his head and said, "By the way, the carriage has entered the city safely, fortunately, Brother Su arranged for Shopkeeper He to pick it up just in case, otherwise it would be a little tricky." ”

Su Jing's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Wang Yan didn't understand why the other party had such a big reaction, so he roughly explained what happened at the city gate, and added after he was done, "At that time, I could only see these from a distance, but the general's methods were indeed a little ruthless, and he kicked that person's arm off with one kick." ”

Su Jing's brows furrowed tightly behind the mask, and he turned his head to look at Qin Shuangyue on the side and said, "Does Brother Qin know who that military general is?"

Qin Shuangyue turned the wine glass in her hand and said slowly: "You have also seen that military general, Brother Su. Seeing Su Jing's puzzled look, he suddenly smiled slyly and said in a low voice, "It's the big man who claimed to be the leader of Gou who grabbed the Oiran with us yesterday." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, with a teasing look on his face.

Su Jing coughed lightly when he heard this, and said, "It turned out to be that reckless man." But isn't he a member of the forbidden army? Why did he run to guard the city gates?"

"I didn't know about this a while ago. It is said that there was a snitch in the palace last night. Qin Shuangyue put away her smile and said, "Your Majesty is extremely angry, and has issued an order that from today onwards, the forbidden army will officially take over the patrol battalion to defend the city." ”

Hearing this, Su Jing pondered for a long time and then said, "Didn't Commander You protest? If the forbidden army went to defend the city, what should happen to the safety of the palace?

Qin Shuangyue shook her head and said, "I don't know about this." He really didn't know, after all, he was just a son, and he didn't have an official position, and he could hear this news because of his extensive travel.

Su Jing obviously understood this, and said with his head bowed: "Thank you Brother Qin for telling me frankly!"

Qin Shuangyue waved her hand, and then drank his wine.

Su Jing turned his head to look at Wang Yan and said, "It's suspicious, you go back first." I'll send someone to inform you if something happens. By the way, let those people in Yan Hui Lane prepare to prepare. ”

"Okay!" Wang Yan didn't ask much, stood up and saluted, "Say goodbye first." After speaking, he nodded at Qin Shuangyue, who was drinking and blushing from drinking, and turned to leave.

After he left, Qin Shuangyue burped and said with some curiosity: "How did Brother Su recruit this person? It is rumored that this champion is so angry that he doesn't even pay attention to the second prince. He offended a lot of people because of his arrogance, so he was thrown to the Hanlin Academy. ”

Su Jing picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I asked the imperial doctor in the palace to see his wife." ”

Qin Shuangyue sighed, suddenly changed her words, and said with interest: "By the way, I heard that Brother Su left Beijing to go to Liangzhou this time?"

Su Jing was about to pick up the wine glass and bring it to his lips, when he heard the words, he said, "Not bad!"

"Have you gone to the legendary tomb of King Anyang?" Qin Shuangyue's eyes lit up.

Su Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not true, I hurried back to Beijing to resume my life after I finished it, and I didn't stay there for long." ”

"That's a shame. Qin Shuangyue clapped her hands with some annoyance.

Su Jing glanced at him with a strange look and said, "Could it be that Brother Qin knows some secrets?"

Qin Shuangyue sighed: "I also heard my father mention that, it is said that the Panlong Seal fell into the hands of King Anyang back then, but it was not seen on the corpse brought back that day, so my father deduced that it is very likely that the Panlong Seal is still in Liangzhou." As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and maybe it is hidden in that mausoleum. ”

Su Jing's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered the scene of meeting Tang Zixi in the mausoleum, he remembered that the young man named Li Yu at that time seemed to mention the three words 'Pan Dragon Seal', but at that time, his whole mind was on Tang Zixi's body, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking of this, he asked quietly: "I don't know what kind of treasure that Pan Dragon Seal is, how can it make Brother Qin, who regards money as dung, so interested?"

"Brother Su doesn't know. Qin Shuangyue smiled and said, "At the beginning, the king of Anyang dared to raise troops to rebel with a weak force of less than 20,000, and it was related to getting the dragon seal. That's a good thing. Not only can you call the wind and rain, but you can also summon the real dragon to help. It is said that many of the soldiers who exterminated the rebels saw the real dragon flying among the clouds. Hey, it's a pity I was born a little late. He shook his head as he spoke, clearly convinced of the legend.

The corners of Su Jing's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he said lightly: "It's just a rumor, it may not be true." And even if the dragon seal was really left there, so many years have passed, and the mausoleum doesn't know how many tomb robbers have patronized it. How could it still be?"

Qin Shuangyue thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Su is reasonable, but I am obsessed." Before he finished speaking, he frowned again and muttered, "Then why did my father send someone to Liangzhou?"

"The prime minister also sent someone to Liangzhou?" Su Jing was shocked when he heard this, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Exactly!" Qin Shuangyue didn't notice the other party's abnormality, and continued, "After learning that the young lady of the Tang family had escaped from marriage that day, my father was extremely angry, and despite my mother's dissuasion, I had to go to General Tang in person to ask for an explanation. When I went, I was really angry, but when I came back, my expression was extremely strange. As soon as I got home, I went into the study alone, and I didn't come out to eat dinner. Later, I learned from my mother that it seemed that the Tang family's escape from marriage was still acquiesced by Mrs. Tang, and even the escape route was arranged for her. Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "When my father went to ask for an explanation that day, Mrs. Tang was also present, and she admitted it herself. He suddenly stopped talking, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Su Jing didn't speak, just silently refilled the wine glasses of the two of them, and then took the wine glass and drank it all.

Qin Shuangyue took a deep breath, then took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said self-deprecatingly: "Then Miss Tang said that she doesn't like men who are too heavy in fat powder, if she wants her to face a rabbit who only knows how to apply grease and powder every day, it is better to die." At this point, he couldn't help but touch his face.

As soon as she heard this, Su Jing knew that he had not wronged Tang Zixi, and this was indeed her tone. Moreover, he told Tang Zixi about the comment of this 'rabbit master', and immediately coughed lightly and said: "This Miss Tang family is too disagreeable, how can she make such a conclusion about Brother Qin based on one-sided words." Although Brother Qin is a weak scholar, he is the best among the sons and brothers in Beijing with his mind and bearing. Otherwise, Su will not become a close friend with you. ”

Qin Shuangyue gratefully hugged her fists at Su Jing and said, "Brother Su still knows me." After speaking, he sighed heavily and said, "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet Miss Tang in this life, otherwise I would have washed away this stigma." ”

Su Jing's eyebrows behind the mask moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Then Miss Tang is short-sighted, let's leave her alone." I heard that Prime Minister Qin Cheng has found a family business for you again, and the other party is also the daughter of a general?"
