After all the people from Anguo left.

Master Du wanted to say something to Ren Ruyi and Xiao Yuxi, but Ning Yuanzhou pushed back with a few words and told him to go back and rest in a strong tone.

Mr. Du had no choice but to retreat.

Ren Ruyi told Ning Yuanzhou that she wanted to see Jin Meiniang.

Ning Yuanzhou nodded and responded: "Okay."

He didn't ask any more questions and went out to deliver the message.

Ren Ruyi sat down at the chess table again, picked up the white pieces on the chess board one by one, and threw them into the chess basket: "Jiu'er has grown up."

Xiao Yuxi responded: "Yes."

She thought silently in her mind that Li Tongguang's attitude was very different from the original plot, and she didn't know what the changes were.

At this moment, Yu Shisan and Yuan Lu walked in quickly from outside the hall.

Qian Zhao silently followed the two of them.

Yuan Lu held the decoction for Yang Ying in his hand and walked briskly and steadily to Xiao Yuxi: "Sister Yuxi, sister Ruyi."

"I saw that the import envoy was very aggressive when he came, but he was dejected when he left."

"Do you really know him?"

Yu Shisan stood behind Ren Ruyi, one arm resting on the screen: "Children, don't ask these questions, just give His Highness some medicine."

Ren Ruyi stood up and took the soup from Yuan Lu: "I'll do it."

Several people came behind the screen.

Ren Ruyi held the medicine bowl and sat beside Yang Ying's bed.

In full view of everyone, he removed Yang Ying's chin, blew on the soup, and fed it into Yang Ying's mouth.

Xiao Yuxi said with a smile in his eyes, "Tsk".

The other three people all moved for a moment and stopped talking.

Yu Shisan came to Qian Zhao's side, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered: "Look, I think this beauty's kindness is hard to bear!"

Qian Zhao ignored Yu Shisan and asked Yuan Lu's words again.

But his tone was quite firm, not like a question, but an affirmation: "Is that Marquis Changqing an old friend of Yu Xi and my cousin?"

Neither Xiao Yuxi nor Ren Ruyi answered.

Yu Shisan put his right arm on Qian Zhao's shoulder and smiled nonchalantly: "Do you still have to ask?"

"That boy from Marquis Changqing has the same fierce eyes as the beauty, but his words and deeds are quite like the second lady's style."

"It looks like they were raised by the two of them!"

"Old Qian, you don't know that the life-saving sword just made Old Ning dumbfounded."

"Hahaha, I haven't seen that expression on Lao Ning's face in many years. It's really enjoyable!"

Yuanlu asked curiously: "Life-saving sword? What a strange name!"

Yu Shisan raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Yuxi: "I have to ask you and Sister Xi."

"Actually, the name is quite good. During the battle, you can shout for mercy and take advantage of the opponent's dumbfounded time to decapitate him with a long sword. It will save trouble!"

As he was speaking, his voice changed: "Hey, I suspect that Emperor Wu fell into this trap and was captured alive by that kid."

Ren Ruyi put the medicine bowl on the bedside, turned to look at Yu Shisan, and retorted: "Teasing is still teasing, but you must not be careless."

"Qian Zhao is the best in martial arts among your Six Paths Hall, except Yuan Zhou."

"And Jiu... Marquis Changqing has outstanding talent. His martial arts skills six years ago were only higher than Qian Zhaolai's, let alone now."

Yu Shisan's face looked more serious. He glanced at Ren Ruyi and Xiao Yuxi, nodded and said, "I know, how could the beauty and the second lady raise a person any worse?"

"Just from the confrontation just now, we can see that the Marquis of Changqing has a measured advance and retreat, and the city is quite deep."

"If it weren't for the fact that you two caught him by surprise and made him take a wrong step in a daze, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to take advantage."

Qian Zhao had an unclear look in his eyes, and he echoed expressionlessly: "A young man who captured Emperor Wu alive, holds a high position of power, and manipulates the Anguo court into the palm of his hand."

"If he stands on the opposite side of us, I'm afraid Anguo's trip will be even more difficult."

Yu Shisan said softly: "Human beings will have weaknesses."

"Marquis Changqing is too young, but his military exploits are too high. He has already become a target of public criticism."

"The King of Hedong and King of Luoxi of Anguo both regard him as a thorn in their side!"

"I heard that he is ambitious but thinks he is aloof. He never wants to get involved in the internal strife among the princes and the factional strife in Anguo."

"It's easy to break through hard things. Such a person is almost like walking on thin ice in Anguo. If we can cooperate with him, it will be beneficial to both parties."

Qian Zhao's voice was slightly cold: "That's something Lao Ning should consider."

Yu Shisan smiled and replied: "That's right, why should I worry about all this? Just follow Lao Ning!"

Yuan Lu listened for a long time. He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "You all say how powerful Marquis Changqing is, but do you know how he behaves in daily life?"

Qian Zhao turned to look at Yu Shisan: "Asura Road controls all kinds of secret intelligence information, what do you say?"

Yu Shisan shrugged and said helplessly: "It's true that I control secret intelligence information, but most of it is obtained through financial means."

"That Changqing Marquis has never been involved in fireworks and romantic places, so there is not much description of him in the file."

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Yu Shisan thought for a while, then the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he said with an unserious smile: "But I have heard a rumor about Marquis Changqing, but it has not been confirmed yet."

"Do you want to listen?"

Yuanlu nodded repeatedly.

The broken hair on his forehead swayed up and down, looking a little cute.

Qian Zhao's words were concise and to the point: "Speak."

Ren Ruyi and Xiao Yuxi also looked at Yu Shisan with interest.

Yu Shisan looked around at the crowd and said in a very mysterious tone: "I heard that Marquis Changqing is as good as Long Yang."

Qian Zhao turned to look at him fiercely, his eyes full of astonishment, and he hesitated to speak.

Ren Ruyi frowned.

The expressions on Xiao Yuxi's faces were slightly frozen.

The two people's voices were full of disbelief, and they said in unison: "What?"

Yu Shisan spread his hands: "Rumors are just rumors."

Yuan Lu said stupidly: "What is the good thing about Long Yang?"

Yu Shisan waved his hand towards him: "Don't listen to this and go on your way."

Yuanlu curled his lips, looking unconvinced.

Qian Zhao gave a rare explanation this time: "Anguo is no better than our Wuguo. Their people are open and open, and raising prostitutes is mostly kept in the open."

Yuanlu reacted when he heard the word molestation.

His cheeks turned red and his lips opened, but he was speechless.

Ren Ruyi stood up and walked out of the hall with a bad expression.

As Xiao Yuxi passed by, he kept walking and reached out to grab her wrist and drag her away together.

Xiao Yuxi staggered for a moment, but finally followed suit: "Hey, no, please slow down."

the other side.

Li Tongguang led the people away from the post house and headed towards the Hexian County Government Office.

He and Zhu Yin got on the carriage one after another.

Li Tongguang immediately removed his cold and solemn aura and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Send someone to investigate immediately, Princess Huyang of Wuguo and Miss Xiao Er."

"Tomorrow morning, I want to see all their files!"
