Chapter 383: Hole Cards

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the deputy commander in front of the palace led twenty internal guards to accompany Ji Meiqiu back to the Hou Mansion and never returned to the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Meiqiu recalled what happened in the court, and savored the reactions of all parties, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration roughly touched the context of the matter.

The affairs of the Hou Mansion, under Lin Kui's arrangement, there was no more chaos, even if there were suddenly hundreds of people in the mansion, they were also properly handled.

Ji Meiqiu knew that the trouble of the king side by side, just today, it was just that the third prince Liu Che and Li Renxiao of Western Xia had left Bianjing, which made him very puzzled.

Pan Mei's actions at the court meeting made Ji Meiqiu vigilant. He was about to return to Xiong to call Lin Kui, who had already appeared in the study.

"Childe, are you interested in hearing about the old man and Pan Zhong?"

"Uncle Lin thinks it's necessary, you can tell me. ”

"The old man and Pan Zhong were originally friends. It's just that we like a girl at the same time, that is, Chong'er and her mother. In Lin Kui's eyes, a look of pain appeared: "Because of this incident, Pan Zhong hated the old man and repeatedly looked for the old man's fault." In order not to affect the friendship with his friends, the old man went away to plant plums and raise cranes. Unexpectedly, fifty years ago, Pan Zhong found my residence and wanted to kill me, but he mistakenly hit Chong'er and his mother. ”

"Why did the old man return to Bianjing?"

"Chong'er grew up and devoted himself to serving the court. I don't think anyone knows Chong'er's background, and he himself doesn't know the grievances between Pan Zhong and me, so I didn't stop it. ”

"Why was the old man poisoned?"

"I was living in seclusion on the outskirts of the city, but two years ago, for some reason, I was noticed by Pan Zhong and found a place of seclusion. At that time, we were both in the realm of the emperor of the people, and the difference in skills was limited, but Pan Zhong was defeated, and I returned to the seclusion to prepare to leave, only to find that fighting with me was Pan Zhong's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and sent someone to poison my tea. ”

"I know, Uncle Lin wanted to stay away, but when he found out that he was poisoned, he had to hide in Bianjing. ”

"That's right, it's been well hidden in the past two years, but because Pan Zhong's son is lustful and takes a fancy to Chong'er's lady, he harassed me at home several times and found that I was poisoned in bed, which may have aroused Pan Zhong's suspicions. ”

"What Uncle Lin means, the Pan family is powerful, you are in the Hou Mansion, it will affect me, and I want to leave Bianjing again. ”

"That's right, after the Spring Festival, the old man's family will leave for a while, wait for the son to gain a firm foothold, and then follow the son. ”

Ji Meiqiu said with a smile: "It's okay, there's no need to leave, after tonight, I don't know what changes have happened in the situation in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"What does Childe mean, something big happened in the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Not what I meant, it's someone preparing to hit a stone with an egg. Now that you've told me about the past, let me confirm something. After the dinner, let's get ready to welcome our guests. ”

"There won't be danger in the Hou Mansion, right?" Lin Kuiren was old and refined, and immediately realized something, and was a little worried.

Ji Meiqiu smiled: "It's okay, but we still have to make some preparations." Ye Zhao, please Miss Qiong Yao to come to the study. ”

Ye Zhao, who was waiting in front of the study, responded and immediately walked towards the main hall.

What happened in the bazaar yesterday made Ji Meiqiu realize that the Pan family was not a good master. An insignificant fight actually made Pan Zhong come to the door, if Pan Zhong knew that Lin Kui was in the Champion Hou Mansion, it would be strange if this guy could let Lin Kui go.

Even if there is no factor of Lin Kui, the Pan family will not let themselves go. Perhaps the hatred of the king side by side towards himself is greater than that of the Pan family.

But Ji Meiqiu understands that the side by side king will definitely not make a move on himself, there are some iron laws in the Shenzhou Continent, and any martial artist must abide by them, including the peerless masters of the Martial Emperor realm, and they can't hurt civilians, otherwise the entire continent will be a mess.

If the person who is side by side with the king can abide by this iron law, the person who attacks him will be no more than an emperor-level warrior at best. The Hou Mansion currently has two emperor-level warriors in charge, plus his own protection of the light of the vast moon, the champion Hou Mansion can be said to be solid.

No one knows that Lin Kui has recovered his strength, and there are not many people who know the depth of Qiong Yao's skills, and the strength of those who attack the Hou Mansion will not be high. Ji Meiqiu has such a hole card, so she is naturally at ease.

The biggest hole card is still a peerless master hidden in the house. Ji Meiqiu faintly looked forward to the old drunkard having returned to him.

After discussing with Lin Kui and Qiong Yao, Ji Meiqiu announced the start of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The martial arts hall of the Hou Mansion is indeed large enough, and nearly 1,000 people dine in the main hall, and it does not seem extraordinarily crowded. In addition to the barbecue, the other dishes are all prepared by Ziwei Restaurant and sent to the Hou Mansion from the side door.

When the roasted dragon meat was served on each table of eight immortals, the main hall resounded with thunderous cheers, especially the young people who had just arrived from Yuquan Mountain, but they did not expect that their village owner would call himself to come to Bianjing for the New Year and enjoy the roasted dragon meat.

Even the well-informed Concubine Xiang, Qiong Yao, Lin Kui and others were all stunned, not knowing that the meal prepared by Ji Meiqiu was so precious.

In any family, enjoying such a precious thing is the privilege of the family elite. Ji Meiqiu did the opposite, precious things should be shared by everyone. At this moment, including Lin Kui and Qiong Yao, they found out how correct their choice was.

Happy times always fly by. The dinner ended unconsciously, and Lin Kui, according to Ji Meiqiu's instructions, arranged for the young people brought by Li Ke to lurk in various parts of the mansion, and Lin Chong was responsible for patrolling.

Ji Meiqiu didn't care about these things, he pulled Concubine Xiang, Qiong Yao, Yi Shui, Guixiong, Pi Qiu, Ye Zhao and others to sit in the backyard.

The flames on the square rose into the sky, piercing the dark night sky, and the Hou Mansion next to the Sword Lake could only see the brilliance of the flames in the sky.

"It's a pity that the boss is grounded, otherwise I don't know how lively it would be to go to the square?" Pi Qiu stared at the sky enviously, and his thoughts flew to the Imperial Square.

"Just if you want to join in the fun, how nice it is for everyone to be together. "Guixiong and Pi Qiu are used to fighting, and they don't have to stop when they get together.

Concubine Xiang said lightly: "The imperial capital celebrates the New Year, and that's it, nothing peculiar." ”

Ji Meiqiu smiled weirdly: "There will be a lot of fun, everyone cheer up, just keep the New Year here, no one is allowed to sleep." ”

"The boss will play mysterious, and after an hour, everyone will go home to watch the New Year, and who will go out to play. Pi Qiu grinned, not believing Ji Meiqiu's words at all.

At this time, hundreds of black-clothed people, with white silk scarves wrapped around their arms, burrowed into the moat outside the city and quickly sneaked in the direction of the imperial palace.

On the gatehouse of Guangde Gate, the imperial family relatives saw the flames slowly dissipating, and they all walked down the gatehouse and gathered in the Zichen Palace.

After two or three hours of noise, Bianjing gradually returned to tranquility. All the Shenlong Guard sergeants, the Ti cavalry of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the fast catchers of the Bianjing Mansion were all patrolling the streets and alleys of Bianjing.

In the quiet of Bianjing, a huge conspiracy began in the dark night.
