Watching Qin Zongliang and Xue Ren leave the room, Meng Jie looked at the cyan jade pendant in his hand, which was made of ordinary jade and carved into a gourd. His fingers traced the undulating lines with a deep look.
In the carriage.
Xue Ren: "Master, can Meng Jie believe it? If he informs Xiao Shangshu about this, won't it put the people of King Qin's faction on guard?"
Qin Zongliang: "During the conversation just now, I expressed my contempt for Xiao Weizhong many times, but he was indifferent. Every time I mentioned the Xiao family, there was a hint of disgust in his expression. And because he could avenge his mother, he came to see me. I have already made it clear that he will not have the same heart as Xiao Wei."
"Moreover, there is only one high official. Even if nothing happened today, wouldn't Chu Chengye be on guard against the Duke's Mansion? Those who are sent to follow him should pay attention to his movements. It is a good thing if it is successful, but it is not harmful to us. There is no loss.”
Xue Ren nodded: "That's true."
Qin Zongliang: "What is Chu Chengyao doing?"
"Prince Jin has been in contact with a person in the world these past two days. After careful investigation, this person's name is Song Yi. He was the young master of the Yueying Tower who was quite famous in the early years. The Yueying Tower was controlled by the Wanyuan Sect many years ago. He was destroyed by Jianghu gangs. This Song Yi had a great destiny, and his loyal guards protected him to the death, so he was able to escape until now."
Qin Zongliang said in confusion: "Chu Chengyao is a very scheming person and has never been able to get up early without benefit. Why would he personally contact... a Jianghu man whose sect has been wiped out?"
"Master, the popularity of the Yueying Tower in its heyday was no worse than that of the Tianji Sect today. The sect was all highly skilled killers. Although the sect was wiped out, Song Yi's skills were by no means unknown in the world. . Even I can’t guarantee that I can win against him.”
Qin Zongliang became interested when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed dangerously:
"You should give him a try if you have a chance. If he really has such skills, he can be used by me to do a lot of inconvenient things. Wouldn't it be a pity to go with a prince who is doomed to a miserable end?"
Inn.
Song Yi looked at the gentle and approachable Tianhuang nobleman who was drinking tea in front of him, then glanced at the black-faced guard standing aside, and said in a calm tone:
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, there is plenty of good tea in the palace, so why bother coming to the common people every day to drink such cheap and unpleasant coarse tea?"
Chu Chengyao smiled gently, like a friend reminiscing about old times:
"A thousand cups of wine is too little when you meet a close friend, and the same is true for tea. Although I have only known Brother Song for a short time, somehow it feels like I have known him a lifetime ago, and I only feel trust and comfort."
Song Yi's eyes were guarded: "Just because in the past few days, His Highness saw the grass people meddling in their own business, he felt that the grass people were trustworthy people. Is it too arbitrary? Maybe the grass people took action that day just on a whim, but in private they did all kinds of evil. "
Chu Chengyao: "Brother Song was able to save his daughter who was lost to a gambler on the street that day. Later, not only did he not agree to the woman's marriage, he also hired a carriage to take the gambler's wife and daughter out of the city to visit relatives. Can you sympathize with the old man? Those who are weak and do not take advantage of others are definitely good people."
Song Yi: "Your Highness Tianhuang is a noble man, and the common people are just warriors. When my father was there, the common people still had little respect in the world, but now they are hiding in Tibet. They are also being hunted by the enemy this time, so they came to Kyoto to take shelter temporarily. The common people are of no help to His Highness, let alone be worthy of His Highness’ brothers.”
Zhong Yi said angrily: "His Highness appreciates you and treats you with courtesy. In your current situation, do you think His Highness has any plans for you?"
