Chapter seven hundred and forty sixth intrigue
When Yan Liqiang left Concubine Rong's tent, he felt a little embarrassed, but no one could see this kind of embarrassment. In the eyes of other people in the camp, Lord Yan entered the tent openly for a while, probably to discuss today's affairs with the magistrate. After a while, someone from the county magistrate's mansion came to Yan Liqiang and reported outside the tent. Yan Liqiang walked out of Concubine Yan's tent in neat clothes. Nothing was abnormal. Only Yan Liqiang understood the thrilling moment just now.
Until he left Concubine Rong's tent, Yan Liqiang could still feel a pair of reluctant eyes staring at his back in the tent. Yan Liqiang was still a little scared in his heart. If the person who came to report came a few minutes later, he might not be able to hold on. Even Wei Xiaobao had never done this kind of thing that made the emperor green. If he did it, he would be able to compete Wei Xiaobao in one go.
But then again, as the Emperor, you are three thousand beauties in the harem. While practicing, you are neglecting these beauties like flowers and jade in the palace. After leaving them behind for many years, you have let a bunch of concubines and empresses stay in the palace with rich clothes and food. This is too cruel. To put it bluntly, this is called occupying the pit and not sting. It is no wonder that when Concubine Rong has contact with him, she is like thunder and earthly fire.
Yan Liqiang was thinking about these questions in his head while walking. When it comes to His Majesty the Emperor, he became a little strange. Logically speaking, His Majesty the Emperor was not a foolish monarch, and his IQ and skills were not weak. He was even more diligent, harder, harder, and more self-control than many people Yan Liqiang had seen. Such people should have been promising, but why did the court of the Han Empire suddenly collapse in his hands, and even the most prosperous capital of the Han Empire was devastated overnight?
On the surface, the reason for His Majesty’s failure was that he used the wrong person, that is, he failed to observe others. Once his misunderstanding was taken by evil demons, there was Lin Qingtian in front of him and the Imperial Physician Order behind him. Just a carelessness could make him lose all the way. Yuluo Palace allowed the emperor to pass through Lin Qingtian's disaster, but he did not pass through this disaster. To explore the deeper reasons why His Majesty’s failure may be really only explained by the will of heaven. The Han Empire in front of him has made the cycle of heaven’s way to an unsustainable state. If the heaven is not dead, then this empire will be the only one who dies.
The tent was cramped and there were no seats for entertaining people, only a blanket for sleeping, not a place to meet foreign guests. When Dian Ke from the county magistrate's house came to see him, Yan Liqiang could not let the two big men lie down in the tent and talk, so he simply found a relatively quiet place next to the camp, under a big banyan tree, and then asked someone to bring Dian Ke over.
"Sima Qingshan, the governor of Luquan County, pays homage to the Lord!"
This Sima Qingshan was the aide to Zhou Shouren, the governor of Luquan County. He was respected by Zhou Shouren as Mr. Sima.
As soon as Sima Qingshan came, Yan Liqiang just looked at the person's slender eyes, which were as thin as a blade, and knew that this person must be skilled in scheming. I'm afraid it's not a simple character. The Nianshe in Yan Liqiang's head had already begun to move. In front of Nianshe, all the scheming was a scumbag and a joke.
Yan Liqiang smiled, "It's a bit beyond my expectations that the county magistrate can let you come here at this time. Why, does the county magistrate have any advice?"
Sima Qingshan looked Yan Liqiang's face seriously without any trace, and names flashed through his heart. On the surface, his attitude became more and more respectful, "I wonder what the lord calls him?"
"I am just an unknown soldier in the Imperial Front Horse and Bus. At this moment, I was just ordered to carry out the important matters through Luquan County and could not be called the title of the Lord!" Yan Liqiang was not deceived.
"My adults also have many friends in the Imperial Capital. They are familiar with Eunuch Liu from the Imperial Capital, Mr. Gui from the Ministry of War, and Commander Zhu from the Imperial Front Cavalry. I don't know if you know these adults. What happened today is definitely a misunderstanding!"
"These people you mentioned are too far from me, and I can't reach it. However, today's misunderstandings are not the final decision. The young master of your county magistrate dares to set up a pass to intercept and inspect the troops of our Royal Front Horse and Bus, and dares to take action. It's such a great courage. The entire Han Empire is probably not many people who are more courageous than your county magistrate!"
"What the Lord said is that today's incident is indeed my son's rude first!" Sima Qingshan's face was full of solemnity and sincerity. He bowed to Yan Liqiang again. "My elder is shocked and very ashamed. There is only one young man in the county magistrate's mansion, so he has been a little spoiled since childhood. The county magistrate's son has become a little naughty since childhood. He is lawless in Luquan County and is a little jumping. He did not expect that he caused a major disaster today and stopped the inspection of the imperial chariot and Masi team for no reason. The county magistrate asked me to come, just to apologize for today's affairs!"
"There is no need to apologize!" Yan Liqiang's expression seemed to relax, and he looked at Sima Qingshan with a smile on his face. "I have my son cut off his ears. Your county magistrate wants to send you to apologize, which is difficult for him. I'll ask, your son really doesn't want to avenge his son, don't you want me to die?"
Sima Qingshan's eyes flashed, but his expression remained unchanged, and he was still serious, "My joking, since my master already knows that the young master is wrong first, how could he make mistakes and add mistakes? Today's young master's affairs are also caused by my master's negligence in discipline. As for my master, he is an official appointed by the court and abides by the law. How could he do such a confused thing and be an enemy of the Mabusi in front of the Imperial Front? Isn't this digging his own grave?"
"Digging the grave yourself, hahaha..." Yan Liqiang laughed out loud, "As long as we leave Luming Pass tomorrow and arrive at a safe place, I will naturally hand over the county magistrate to you. You can tell the county magistrate to rest assured that our Royal Front Horse and Craftsman has always followed the rules when doing things!"
"Well, I heard that my young master was injured today. I wonder if the adults can take me to see if my young master is still alive!"
"Haha, this is simple!" Yan Liqiang had already made arrangements, so he clapped his palms. In the next few seconds, the prince of the county magistrate, who was in a mess and had already become depressed, was escorted up by Guo Sida and two soldiers.
Mr. Zhou, who was escorted, was still tied with a cowhide rope, his mouth was blocked with a ball of linen, and a layer of blood scab was formed on the wound where his ears were cut off, and his nose and face were swollen. He probably was not honest when he was being taken into custody and beaten by the guards.
Seeing Sima Qingshan, Mr. Zhou's turbid eyes lit up suddenly, and then he started to scream, looking very excited. Sima Qingshan acted relatively calm. He looked at Mr. Zhou and knew that Mr. Zhou could hear him, so he only said one sentence, "Please be careful, please be calm. Master already knows your affairs. This time, your affairs are wrong. When these people from the Mabusi in the Imperial Front will leave Luming Pass tomorrow, the master will be able to come back!"
After hearing Sima Qingshan's words, Yan Liqiang just sneered in his heart. These words were not for Mr. Zhou, but for himself, so that he could be careless.
Yan Liqiang waved his hand, and Mr. Zhou was taken down again, "How about it, you have seen your county magistrate's son, too. Is there anything else? If not, please open the official road as soon as possible so that we can leave!"
"Don't worry, the official road leading to Luming Pass will be opened before noon tomorrow!" Sima Qingshan laughed, "Sir, I have worked hard all the way. This time I came, and I will bring some things to the emperor by the order of the county magistrate. Those carriage and horse porters are waiting outside the camp. If the adults allow it, I will ask his mother to send the things in?"
"Oh, what's it?" Yan Liqiang asked curiously.
"It's just some wine, meat, melon and fruit diet. Don't get me wrong. You have never done any tricks in these things. You can find someone to check. This is completely the wish of the county magistrate!"
"Hahaha, then thank you sir!"
"It should be, it should be!" Sima Qingshan said, pulling out a box from his sleeve and handing it to Yan Liqiang, "This is a little bit of what our county magistrate gives you. I hope that the adults will not take this matter to heart. Maybe everyone can be friends in the future!"
Yan Liqiang took the brocade box, opened it and looked at it, and found that there was a thick stack of silver notes inside, which were at least 300,000 taels. He smiled and accepted it, and patted Sima Qingshan on the shoulder, "That's right. If you could do this earlier, why should we use a knife and a gun? Don't worry, I will release your young master if I pass Luming Pass tomorrow!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"But I also have a condition. Tomorrow is at Luming Pass. I have to meet your elders in person and say this, so as not to make any trouble when you pass the pass. I know that your Luquan County has a lot of people and soldiers stationed in Luming Pass!"
"This..." Sima Qingshan frowned slightly, and he didn't expect Yan Liqiang to suddenly put forward such a condition.
Yan Liqiang also closed the smile on his face and squinted his eyes, "Why, your county magistrate's son is in our hands. Your county magistrate is so heartless. If something happened to his son, he only left it to his subordinates. Do you not even want to come out of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion?"
Sima Qingshan's face instantly returned to normal, "My dear, the capital is in chaos now. Our county magistrate has received a letter from the governor in the past few days, asking my grandfather to leave to Guzhou City tomorrow to discuss important matters. The grandfather is now angry. He originally wanted to teach the young master a lesson with this matter today and hand over everything to me. Let me cooperate with you and wait until you leave Luming Pass safely before picking up the young master. Since I want to see my grandfather in Luming Pass, I have to go back and report to my grandfather to see if my grandfather can change the itinerary!"
...
Ten minutes later, Sima Qingshan left, but Yan Liqiang and his camp did not have to cook, and there were many other delicacies such as wine, fruits, etc., and there were several cars. The whole camp suddenly had a fragrant smell of meat and fruits.
Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes and looked at Sima Qingshan and his group of people who gradually disappeared in the sunset, and gently stroked the corners of his mouth, with a faint smile.
Liu Xitong swallowed her saliva and came to Yan Liqiang, "Sir, those things have been checked, there is no problem!"
"If there is no problem, let's share it and let everyone eat!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Yan Liqiang took out the brocade box containing the silver notes from his arms again, "Everyone has worked hard all the way, and I will take this and divide it with all my brothers!"
Liu Xitong opened the brocade box and took a breath. He glanced at the calm expression on Yan Liqiang's face. He felt awe of Yan Liqiang in his heart and went up a step again. He hugged his fist heavily, and then left with the brocade box.
After a moment, the entire station was filled with cheers...
Yan Liqiang had just returned to his tent, and the palace maid next to Concubine Rong came again, "Sir Yan, the empress would like to invite you to come over and ask about the dictionary visitor who came to the county magistrate's house!"
When Yan Liqiang heard that Concubine Rong wanted to see her again, he was so scared that he trembled. He laughed dryly, "Uh, this... Please tell the Empress that I am going to meditate and practice now. I have fully known the purpose of the Dianke of the County Magistrate's Mansion. There is no need to worry about everything. Let the Empress rest tonight. We will be able to leave Luming Pass tomorrow!"
The palace maid named Yingluo glanced at Yan Liqiang, smiled slightly, and then went back to report his life.
In Concubine Rong's tent, after listening to the reply from the palace maids around her, Concubine Rong, with a pink face, gritted her teeth and ordered again, "Just say I have something important here. The matter I discussed with him just now is not over yet. Please make sure Lord Yan comes here!"
The palace maid took the order and left again. After a while, she came back and lowered her head to report, "Impress, the guards around Lord Yan said that Lord Yan had left the tent and had found a place to practice. I don't know when I would come back!"
As soon as the palace maid left her tent, Concubine Rong threw the fruit plate that had just been sent to her tent to the ground, and cursed in a low voice, "This is a heartless person..."
"Sister, who are you angry with?" The curtain of Concubine Rong's tent was lifted. Concubine Duan, Concubine Rui, and Concubine Yi walked in. Seeing the abandoned fruit plate on the ground, Concubine Rui asked with a smile.
The expression on Concubine Rong's face returned to her previous dignified and elegant appearance in a blink of an eye, and she smiled, "The sisters are here just now. I just knew why our convoy was intercepted by the soldiers of Luquan County. I was a little angry, so I couldn't help but throw the fruit plate!"
"Sister, what's going on? We're just about to come and ask. The scene during the day is so scary!" Concubine Duan said in a delicate voice.
After hearing the story of Concubine Rong, Concubine Duan, Concubine Rui, and Concubine Yi, who knew the whole story, became scared. Unexpectedly, the trouble today was caused by the county magistrate's accidental sight of them.
"If it weren't for Lord Yan's escort, today's result would be really unimaginable..." Concubine Yi said in fear.
"Sister is right!" Concubine Rui nodded, and looked at Concubine Rong with a smile, with bright eyes, "If you have the chance, we have to thank Lord Yan, sister, do you think so?"
"Well, I think the sisters are right!" Concubine Rong nodded and responded, with a spring breeze-like smile on her beautiful face. "Mr. Yan has worked hard and made great contributions along the way. He saved our sisters several times regardless of safety. I was thinking just now that if I waited to Jinzhou, I should indeed thank Lord Yan very much!"
