Chapter 21 The Smoke of the Capital

In the early spring, the scenery of the capital is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the people who have been dormant for a winter seem to have been called by the spring, and they all come out to breathe and step on the spring. The whole capital is shrouded in the breath of spring, and there are people everywhere who play, go out, and go shopping, and there are also the shouts of merchants doing business everywhere, the lively shouting of selling, the performers everywhere, the jugglers, and the singing, which is a lively scene.

In the palace of King Yan, it is a different scene.

"What, there is a trace of the princess in Canal Suzhou?" When King Yan heard the report, he suddenly had an indescribable joy, the frustration of failure had surrounded him in the days when he returned to the capital, but today when he heard this report, he suddenly had a feeling of rebirth, he seemed to be a drowning person, and suddenly a life-saving straw appeared in front of him, he must firmly grasp it and gradually regain his position in the eyes of his father.

"What's the situation, report it clearly. King Yan pushed away the woman wrapped around his body and said loudly.

"The lord of Feiyun Village fought with three men and one woman on the passenger ship from Luoyang to Yangzhou five days ago, according to the lord of Feiyun Village, he fought with a person who used the Emperor's Fist, according to his description, the woman and the princess are not too much, and the robbers are similar to what we have seen before, but there is one less person. The person who received Zhou Bo's report immediately reported the situation.

"The order went down, all the men and horses in the canal Suzhou to Yangzhou section of the concentrated interception, the princess will live, other robbers will be killed, to ambush the men and horses on the water and land routes, the focus is on the canal from Luoyang to Yangzhou merchant ship. King Yan stood up and walked over to a huge map to observe.

"Inform Liu Shen to immediately move closer to the front line of Luoyang, Yangzhou, and concentrate on tracking down suspicious people along the line. King Yan turned around and said.

"The sound is blowing from east to west, and we are all around the same thing. King Yan slammed his fist on the table.

The teacup on the table jumped up and fell to the ground with a "pop", and the tea on the table slowly flowed down, curling like blood from a dead man, dripping on the ground.

King Yan's eyes were full of anger, but he couldn't go to Yangzhou, otherwise the capital would be even more out of control, he looked at the map and shouted. The third order was given at the beginning.

"All the personnel who are tracking down the secrets of Tianlai Villa and Xiangmen have withdrawn to the front line of Luoyang, Yangzhou, and have made every effort to track down the whereabouts of the princess, and all other things have been stopped. King Yan said a little reluctantly.

After all, immortality is everyone's dream, but there has been no result for hundreds of years, and he doesn't care about these few days, Yan Wang is also a lot more relaxed when he thinks about it.

Inside the palace of King Xiao

Murong Yan and King Xiao sat by the pavilion of Lotus Lake and drank tea.

"Ai Concubine, how did you feel when you recently went to the palace to see your father, the queen mother, and the queen mother?" King Xiao took a sip of Tieguanyin, looked at Murong Yan's handsome face and asked.

"Lord, don't worry, the queen mother and the queen mother like me the most, and as soon as I go, I won't let me go back to the palace. Father, I also went to ask for peace several times, and it seems that my father is in a good mood every time. Murong Yan said with a smile.

"This Tieguanyin is the best to drink at this time, don't you want to taste it?" said King Xiao after taking a sip of tea.

"I have freshly boiled red dates, lotus seeds, white fungus water, I'll just drink it. Murong Yan took a sip of water and said.

"It's also recently that you've been running at both ends, it's enough for you to be tired, make up for it, don't be tired. King Xiao said to Murong Yan with a smile.

"What are you tired of, as long as it's your business, what's the point if I make two more trips?" Murong Yan looked at King Xiao and said sweetly.

King Xiao took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket, put them on the table, and pushed them to Murong Yan, "The palace is big and small, every time you go, there is a reward, you take these, don't leave a stingy handle, by the way, you will take someone to manage the expenses of the palace in the future, I have already told Steward Liu." You'll have a lot to worry about, and if you're tired, why don't you go to your mother's house and find someone to help you?"

Murong Yan looked at the silver ticket on the table and pushed it back, "You are the most expensive moment now, I still have it, if it's not enough, I'll ask my father for it." Don't worry about money, don't worry about it, there is nothing else, there is no shortage of money in the Murong family. ”

King Xiao looked at Murong Yan and sighed and said, "Isn't this too wronged for you, and I even want money from my wife's family." ”

Murong Yan smiled, "What are you and me sharing, what kind of account, I can only be good if you are good."

King Xiao laughed, stretched out his hand and hugged Murong Yan, and was about to kiss him, but was blocked by Murong Yan, and turned his head to signal "Mr. Wen is here."

King Xiao hurriedly let go of his hand, and when he looked back, Wen Yuetian had already walked in in a hurry, probably because something was urgent.

Murong Yan and King Xiao straightened their clothes and appearance, stood up, watched Wen Yuetian approach, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Wen Yuetian looked at Murong Yan and didn't speak. Murong Yan hurriedly said, "You guys, I'll go first." ”

"Don't go, just listen here, or give me an idea, Mr. Wen has nothing to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. King Xiao stretched out his hand and nodded to Murong Yan to sit down.

"King Yan has found the traces of the princess and the robbers, currently intercepted in Suzhou and Yangzhou, it is estimated that there are few chances to escape, once the robbers are caught, it will be a great achievement for King Yan, this is not very beneficial to us." Wen Yuetian looked at King Yan worriedly and said.

"What do you think, concubine?" said King Xiao, turning his head to Murong Yan.

"If the safety of the princess can be guaranteed, if King Yan can't catch the robbers and princesses on the front line of Yangzhou in Suzhou, won't he have this credit?" Murong Yan said in deep thought.

"Mr. Wen, what do you think?"

"Indeed, if you can drag King Yan's men and horses to live in the Jiangnan area, so that he will not have the strength to make big waves in the capital, the princess is very right, if we can let the princess play a game of cat and mouse in the Jiangnan area, after a period of time, it is estimated that King Yan is completely out of play. We can also find out how many centaurs and hole cards there are in King Yan. Wen Yuetian said.

"If you can consume King Yan's strength in the chase, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?" Murong Yan suddenly said.

Wen Yuetian looked at this childish little girl in surprise, but the words she said were unusually spicy.

King Xiao was not surprised, nodded and said, "Then we will go and help, find a reliable person, and reveal King Yan's deployment to the robbers, and we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"The prince and the princess, that is going down to arrange, retire. Wen Yuetian arched his hand and retired.

King Xiao watched Wen Yuetian leave, turned his head to look at Murong Yan and said, "What have you learned from Tianlai Villa, I want to see it." ”

Murong Yan smiled and said, "In the end, you still guessed it, how do you know that I am the descendant of Tianlai Mountain Villa." ？”

King Xiao smiled and said, "The Murong family has a queen, this is an unwritten rule of this dynasty, I have long heard that there is a girl from the Murong family who is studying in Tianlai Villa, and she is the queen chosen by the Murong family for the next emperor, I didn't expect your family to marry her to me, it seems that you think very highly of me." ”

Murong Yan said with a smile: "It was the eldest brother who told you, I mainly learned strategy and use in Tianlai Villa, and the others are a little bit of self-defense, which is not in the eyes of the prince." ”

"Yes, they have all become people in the same boat, there is no need to hide anything, be suspicious of each other, and dismantle the stage, then it's a big deal that everyone is dead, and it's not good for anyone, so you can make it public. King Xiao said with a smile.

"The concubine can defend herself with this little effort, but if nothing else works, don't make fun of me, lord. Murong Yan said with a giggle.

"Actually, our position is not stable now, and a big reason is that my father doesn't trust us very much, so how can we win my father's trust? King Xiao looked at the sky and said melancholy.

"In fact, if Mrs. Fushang can get pregnant, it is estimated that everyone's influence on you will be much better, and it will also bring good signs to the emperor. "Murong Yan is completely a military appearance that is serious about helping people come up with ideas, but he didn't expect it. It's no wonder that the authorities are obsessed.

Suddenly, Murong Yan was picked up by King Xiao and walked towards the bedroom. King Xiao smiled and said, "Listen to you, conceive a child first, and then look at the kung fu you have learned." ”。 Murong Yan looked at King Xiao's evil smile, suddenly understood, was fooled, put his arms around King Xiao's neck, and got into King Xiao's arms, avoiding the eyes of the palace all the way. But no one dared to greet them, and most of them avoided them for fear of not being able to do so, yes, no one was so short-sighted.
