Chapter 214 Invitation
"Qingcheng has met Sister Bai." Yan Qingcheng finally took the lead in salute to Bai Chun.
Two beautiful women added a touch of glory to the great mansion. After walking from the middle courtyard to the back garden of the main courtyard, a maid immediately placed various fruits, snacks, tea and other items on the table.
Looking at Yan Qingcheng's gaze, he kept looking at his cheek intentionally or unintentionally. Bai Chun smiled and shook his head to comfort him, "It's not a problem anymore, it's been so many days."
Yan Qingcheng nodded silently, poured Bai Chun a cup of tea, and sighed and said, "I just came back yesterday and just heard what my father said today, so I asked me to come and see Sister Bai early in the morning. But Sister Bai doesn't have to worry. Although this matter has been spread to the palace,... it is said that the queen doesn't like the conscience of the conscience, so she suppressed the matter."
"What are I afraid of now? I am just worried about causing trouble to Ye Qing. If I implicate him because of me, my sin will aggravate a little." Bai Chun looked at Yan Qingcheng and squeezed out a smile and said.
Yan Qingcheng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to comfort Bai Chun. As early as in Sizhou, when he was angry, he heard Ye Qing talk about it that Bai Chun and his brother Ye Hong were forced to use Brother Ye Hong to make trouble for the Tang family.
Later, Ye Hong died in the battle of Jiankang, and Bai Chun always believed that it was her engagement with Ye Hong that caused Ye Hong to die on the battlefield.
Now if Ye Qing is also implicated because of Bai Chun again, Bai Chun's heart will naturally be even more painful.
"By the way, why don't I tell you about going north?" Yan Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't find a suitable word to comfort Bai Chun, so he had to divert Bai Chun's attention and said.
Bai Chun raised his head rarely, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded silently, looking at behind Yan Qingcheng, a little black bird with unfinished wings flapping its wings and flying up twice, and then quickly walked towards this side on the ground.
"This is……?"
Yan Qingcheng looked behind Bai Chun's gaze and saw a cute little black bird. She was not afraid of her wings flapping her wings to fly to the table. So she looked up at Bai Chun, who showed a hint of gentleness in her eyes and asked.
"Before moving here, he picked up a bird egg in the old house. He and Jinse were busy building a nest. Unexpectedly, when he was about to go north, he actually hatched this little guy." Bai Chun said, bent down and stretched out his fingers. The little bird grabbed her fingers tightly and placed them on the table.
Yan Qingcheng's eyes shone brightly, looking at the bird with black feathers, which was placed on the table by Bai Chun, and then headed straight for the grapes. He said in surprise: "This little guy wants to eat grapes, does he have a name?"
"This..." Bai Chun's face froze, and he was a little unnatural and didn't know how to answer.
Ye Qing and Jinse muttered a few words, but did not ask for their own opinions, so they took the initiative to name the little guy Ye Xiaobai, and used the surnames of Ye Qing and his own.
Now when he saw Yan Qingcheng and asked, Bai Chun for a moment, he didn't know how to tell Yan Qingcheng this ambiguous name.
Seeing Bai Chun being embarrassed and wanting to speak, Yan Qingcheng, who is also smart in ice and snow, roughly guessed that the name of this cute little bird may not be irrelevant to them, right?
After she immediately recorded the accounts to someone who was still far away in Yangzhou, she began to tease the crow who was not afraid of people while telling Bai Chun that when she went north, she knew about Ye Qing.
Of course, in order to take revenge on Bai Chun, she didn't tell her the name of the little bird. Miss Yan Qingcheng would also underestimate some ambiguous things with Ye Qing at that time, taking it for granted, and inadvertently told Bai Chun.
When Yangzhou City disappeared from the sight of everyone for almost ten days, Ye Qing finally showed up again. However, this time it was not because he deliberately wanted to show up, but because he had to accompany Yu Yunwen to the residence of Zhao Shichun, Duke Chongguo, the son of King Xin.
After Yu Yunwen pulled into the carriage, Yu Yunwen handed his cushion to Ye Qing, so that Ye Qing could feel more comfortable: "Put on it, the two cushions are together, and they are softer. How are you doing on your back now?"
"Occasionally I can sleep on my side, but if I lie down, it will still hurt a little." Ye Qing was not polite, leaned forward, asked Yu Yunwen to put the cushion behind him, and leaned comfortably backward and asked, "This Chongguo Duke Zhao Shichun, won't have anything to do with Zhao Shixiong, right?"
"It doesn't matter, they are all surnamed Zhao, and they just have the name Shi. When he was appointed as the prefect and appeasement envoy of Huainan East Road, another meaning of the court was to treat him as a royal family. Do you understand?" Yu Yunwen smiled and said with a hard carriage board.
"Royal grace, the court means that your name is close to that of the royal family. So if you go to Yangzhou, do you treat you as your own?" Ye Qing asked, looking at the tall and elegant Yu Yunwen.
"Yes, that's what it means, so later, just like in order to make the fake come true, King Xin's eldest son, Duke Chongguo, was appointed as the Yangzhou defense envoy. He had no real power and still regarded Zhao Shixiong as the pacification envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road." Yu Yunwen continued.
"In this way, it is equivalent to making it true that Zhao Shixiong is a royal family member. Although the court and the royal family will not admit it or deny it, after Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun arrived in Yangzhou, this was also a kind of glory for Zhao Shixiong to recognize him. So what's going on today? Why do we have to go to Duke Chongguo's Mansion together?"
"That's why I took you to go with you, but I couldn't determine the meaning of Duke Chong. Please take your pulse. By the way, Duke Chong did not want to hold a banquet when you and I first entered Yangzhou. It was just that the court's law was located, and the royal family was not allowed to make friends with court officials at will. This was when Duke Chong held a banquet today after he received the permission of the court." Yu Yunwen added at the end.
"That's how, then can't this Duke Chong be in Yangzhou all year round?" Ye Qing always felt something was wrong. Why didn't he choose to choose at this time sooner or later? He had just quietly transferred the military judge to Yangzhou, so why did the Duke Chong hold a banquet?
"Of course it is impossible to live in Yangzhou all year round. My Song Dynasty royal family members had already withered after they moved south, and basically lived in Lin'an. This appointment and removal is just a title. How can we take it seriously?" Yu Yunwen said with a relaxed smile.
Ye Qing looked at Yu Yunwen who was relaxed and suddenly reached out and knocked on the carriage door. Looking at the poke Li San on the shaft of the carriage, and when he opened the curtain on the door, Ye Qing said in a deep voice: "Gather the owners of the Imperial City Department, lurk near the Duke Chongguo's mansion, follow the orders. Tell Wu Jue to go to Guanyin Mountain outside the city immediately, and stop the Wuhe Army from entering the city no matter what. If necessary, I will take action first. I will bear all the consequences."
"Yes, I'll do it now, be careful." Po Li San nodded heavily and said.
"What do you mean?" Yu Yunwen frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"I'm afraid Zhao Shixiong is going to be. If Zhao Shichun held a banquet today, it was a Hongmen banquet, or if he had some secret order on his body, we couldn't prepare. My injuries were almost healed. Zhao Shixiong's son and daughter were injured more than me, and it was obviously almost healed."
"Are you worried that they will attack the Duke's Mansion today?" Yu Yunwen was shocked and almost sat up.
"If I tell you, last night, Yangzhou City secretly pretended to be in the 2,000 Wuhe Army people, what would you think?" Ye Qing's smile gradually became cold, and then he continued: "I have been a turtle shrouding in these days, just to create an illusion of being assassinated to people. In this way, the hidden things of the Imperial City Department will go smoothly, and Zhao Shixiong will not find that the Imperial City Department lurking nearly a thousand people in Yangzhou."
"Now, Li Xizhi, Liu Wuyan and others met, and they temporarily put down their guard against each other. They did not compete for the three vacancy envoys, prefects and prefects. They reached an agreement to agree to Zhao Shixiong before being dismissed. In this way, Zhao Shixiong has always known what I am doing every day and whom I met?" Yu Yunwen said while sorting out his own line.
Then he suddenly looked up at Ye Qing and said in a bad tone: "Since you were stabbed that night, you have completely hidden yourself in the dark, and then let me attract Zhao Shixiong's attention on the surface..."
"Nonsense, I'm injured and have difficulty moving. Will Zhao Shixiong still suspect that I can still jump around and sway everywhere? Of course, I will focus all my attention on you..."
"In this way, you will have the opportunity to do your Imperial City Department secretly, and then extract the evidence and hand it over to me again. Li Xizhi, who was originally intended to appease the envoy, had to let go of his prejudice and cooperate with me for the time being, thinking about overthrowing Zhao Shixiong first?" Yu Yunwen felt that he had been exploited by Ye Qing and said with an extremely ugly expression.
"But what I'm afraid of is that if we meet Zhao Shixiong today, will Li Xizhi have a yellow bird behind him? So we have to be careful of Li Xizhi, otherwise, your position as a comforter may not be able to sit at that time, although you are just the best candidate for the transition comforter." Ye Qing knocked on the window with one hand, and the complex network of relationships was difficult to clarify for a while.
But he believed that Li Xizhi would never give up. When he had just arrived in Sizhou, Li Xizhi was in Sizhou. As soon as he left Sizhou, Li Xizhi followed him to Yangzhou.
What's even more strange is that Luo Shichuan was kept in Sizhou forever. Logically speaking, Li Yuan, who came with Luo Shichuan, should have reported to the official when he couldn't find Luo Shichuan, but there was no document to report to Li Yuan in the Sizhou officialdom.
Moreover, Li Yuan, Li Xizhi, and Li Ji, a Xia man, definitely had a close connection in the eyes of Wu Jue. Combined with the analysis of the documents taken back from the pillow of the pottery knife, Li Xizhi, as a member of the Pu family and the Shi family of the Maritime Warrior, secretly carried them on his back and made a lot of money on his own.
The way he made money was to get money from Li Ji, a Xia man, and then go out through Li Yuan. Once in and out, it was equivalent to laundering money. He washed some of the profits that were originally to be handed over to the Shi family or the Shipu family in his own pocket.
