Longyou County, in an inconspicuous small inn.
Qin Yun looked at the grey-haired old man in front of him and felt a little sympathy for no reason. After all, as a parent, how could he not worry about his children.
At this moment, Shen Wansan's eyes were melancholy, his pupils seemed to be bloodshot, and his face looked rosy, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.
"I've met Mr. Shen!"
Qin Yun cupped his hands from afar.
The latter raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Yun with complex eyes.
"sit down!"
Qin Yun smiled and sat next to Shen Wansan. Looking sideways, he saw a dignified and beautiful woman in palace attire, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
She stood up and bowed: "I've met Ninth Brother!"
Qin Yun searched for memories in his mind, and the young girl in front of him seemed to be born to Concubine De, named Qin Ru.
His mother-in-law has always been well-known in the capital for her great virtues and is often praised by the emperor. Although she is only a concubine, no one in the palace dares to offend her.
In the memory of the original owner, Concubine De's father was a doctor of imperial studies and a leading figure in the literary world. The emperor personally ordered her to be responsible for the elementary education of the little prince and princess in the palace. Qin Yun also took her elementary education course back then.
Qin Yun said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and Ru Mei has become a big girl!"
It can be seen that Qin Ru's eyes also have a deep look of worry.
Being in the royal family, they often have no choice but to do what they want. They have known since childhood how difficult it is to marry the one they love. It is their destiny to marry someone who can help consolidate the imperial power.
But when that day comes, how many will Enron accept?
Shen Wansan said to Qin Ru: "Princess, please stay away for a moment. I have some matters to discuss with His Highness Prince Liang alone!"
Qin Ru nodded obediently: "Yes, uncle!"
Shen Wansan remarried Qin Ying's sister, so it was reasonable for Qin Ru to call her uncle.
Seeing her leaving obediently, Qin Yun couldn't help but sigh slightly. If he were still in high school at this age in his previous life, it should have been a carefree and nutmeg year.
But now she has to shoulder the important task of saving the country.
Shen Wansan sighed quietly: "This girl, how pitiful! Concubine De has already selected the newly promoted Tanhua as his consort, but after the imperial edict came down, this girl can only go and get married!"
Qin Yun did not answer the question, but asked directly: "Master Shen, did you call me here just to tell me that the imperial court is planning to marry?"
Shen Wansan raised his head and his eyes flashed.
"Qin Yun, let me ask you, what is your relationship with my daughter?"
Qin Yun's expression was slightly startled: "It was an excellent relationship at that time!"
Shen Wansan snorted coldly: "Aren't you clamoring to marry Shen Yue? Then why do you know that Shen Yue has been kidnapped, but you still stay in Luochuan, and you don't seem to be worried at all!"
Qin Yun: "Master Shen misunderstood. After Shen Yue was taken away, I have been sending people to inquire about the situation!"
Shen Wansan: "Master Shen? Brat, haven't you been shamelessly calling me father-in-law before? Why, now you are afraid of meeting the Iron Wolf King and want to distance yourself from my Shen family?"
Qin Yun paused, Shen Wansan seemed a little strange today.
"Then please tell me, father-in-law!"
Shen Wansan snorted softly: "Don't think that I don't know what happened to you in Wenxuan Pavilion. Since you have ruined Yue'er's innocence, you must be responsible for this matter to the end!"
Qin Yun was stunned, when did this shameless old man know this?
"Don't be stunned, you must give me an answer today!"
Qin Yun said: "Of course! But before that, can my father-in-law tell my son-in-law what happened in the capital?"
Shen Wansan groaned: "Your Majesty may not wake up!"
Qin Yun was startled. He had always thought that this cheap man was pretending to be unconscious, but he also knew that Shen Wansan, as Qin Ying's confidant, would never act without aim.
"What's going on?"
Shen Wansan lowered his voice.
"Jinyiwei has found some clues. After His Majesty fell into coma, the old servants in charge of gardening in the palace either retired collectively or disappeared mysteriously."
"Subsequently, medical officers from the Taipei Hospital discovered that there were several mutually exclusive plants in the garden that His Majesty often visited. Originally, these plants did not cause harm to the human body."
"But I don't know who tampered with His Majesty's recipe. Over time, the flowers and the recipe interacted with each other, and His Majesty was poisoned. The poison has now penetrated into the bone marrow!"
"If the Bai Army God hadn't used the Bai family's secret method to make His Majesty breathe, Daxia would have been in chaos at this moment. The reason why I left the capital this time is to come to you specifically. Qin Yun, whether it is a dragon or an insect, it depends on this Damn it!"
Qin Yun: "Isn't there anyone who wants to find out who is responsible?"
Shen Wansan: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. Now even if all the officials in the court know that someone is causing trouble, they are not willing to bother to find that person!"
"Why?"
Qin Yun was puzzled. In his impression, poisoning the emperor was a major crime against the nine clans.
However, Shen Wansan said quietly: "Can you arrange these people secretly in the harem? Do you think they are ordinary people?"
"Some people don't want to check, and some people don't dare to check!"
After speaking, Shen Wansan looked at Qin Yun thoughtfully.
Qin Yun squinted his eyes, there was something in this old fox's words.
"Then Mr. Shen wants to hook up with his daughter?"
Shen Wansan: "If your boy is really dead, it might not be a bad thing for Shen Yue to marry that Iron Wolf King! At least he will stay away from this whirlpool in the capital."
"In the past, the title of Shen Yue's most talented woman in the capital was half due to her own efforts, and the other half was promoted by someone with good intentions. They thought they could take advantage of my Shen family."
Qin Yun smiled: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely rescue Shen Yue safe and sound!"
Shen Wansan sighed and said, "If you have spare power, try to save that girl Qin Ru. You must know that whether His Majesty can wake up or not, Concubine De will be a great help to you!"
"If you want to seize the legitimate heir, you can't do it with me alone. It's also difficult to reach the level of elegance with your little gadgets. You need a foundation."
Qin Yun chuckled: "Knickknacks? I wonder what gadgets my father-in-law is talking about?"
"I admit that your soap is very good, and people from all over the capital and even south of the Yangtze River like it very much. You also made the military ration called 'instant noodles', which is quite delicious."
"But these can only be regarded as trivial things. You can break the situation for a while, but you can't convince all the civil and military officials. In this world, one person can sit down, but it takes thousands of people to do it for you."
"Even your father has many constraints. Originally, I shouldn't have said these words to you, but you have never been influenced by the emperor's mental skills since you were a child, so don't find it nagging me."
Qin Yun smiled, his father-in-law was quite cool.
But Qin Yun has his own ideas: "I don't expect them to give me much help."
"A group of people who only know how to bark in the court, and a little king with a different surname comes to attack, and they are so scared that they send the princess out for marriage. In my opinion, they have no ability!"
Shen Wansan snorted softly: "Xiao Xiaoyi's surname is Wang? Qin Yun, don't think that you won a few battles in Luochuan in southern Yunnan. That's great. Go out and ask around. Temuying joined the army at the age of thirteen, and he joined the army at the age of eighteen. I was granted the title of Marquis. I was granted the title of King with a different surname at the age of twenty-six. Now I am over forty and in my prime."
"Each of his eighteen adopted sons is good at fighting. Even the people from the Northern Qi Tianlang tribe had to retreat when they saw him!"
Qin Yun chuckled lightly: "Emotions are about fear! If you are afraid, why did you let him go to quell the rebellion in the first place? I also discovered some interesting things along the way. The cities in Longxi are all intact. Only this Longyou County has one or two cities where fierce battles took place."
"Temuying has been away from the logistics supply line for more than a month, and the Bai Army God has always insisted on strengthening the walls and clearing the country. I am very curious about why he can persist for so long. Is it possible that his sergeants all live by drinking the northwest wind?"
Shen Wansan paused and said in a deep voice: "That's why it's more difficult. Although Daxia is not a strong army, it is still easy to suppress a prince with a different surname with the whole country."
"But the problem is that today's imperial court is busy fighting among themselves, and no one is willing to give up the little rights they have!"
"So after learning that Liu Jiangong had rebelled and died, the imperial court decided to urgently recruit you and others to return to Beijing in order to confirm the candidates for the country's supervision."
Qin Yun: "I see, Daxia is in trouble, and it seems that I am the one who belongs to the prison country!"
Shen Wansan snorted softly: "It's not that I don't look down on you, but why do you think so?"
Qin Yun smiled: "You will know then!"
Shen Wansan: "Save my daughter first!"
Qin Yun: "Where is she?"
Shen Wansan: "The enemy's camp!"
Qin Yun nodded: "I will bring Shen Yue to see you within three days."
Shen Wansan shook his head in his heart. He thought Qin Yun was a pragmatic person, but he didn't expect him to speak so wildly.
If he could be saved, would the Shen family just watch?
The empire's money bag is not just about making money to store it. Without strong connections and sufficient means, no one will care about you!
But judging from Qin Yun's past experience, he has always made the impossible possible, and now Shen Wansan can only count on him.
"This is what you said. I will lend you five hundred Shen family secret guards. As long as you can rescue Shen Yue, I will marry her to you, and I will fully support you in seizing the rightful son!"
Qin Yun stretched out his hand: "A gentleman's word!"
Shen Wansan raised his hand and gave a high-five: "It's hard to chase a horse!"
Qin Yun smiled: "It's nothing, I'll go back first. Father-in-law, you'd better have a good sleep."
Shen Wansan snorted: "You don't have to worry about it!"
Qin Yun smiled and turned to leave. After Qin Yun left, Shen Wansan thought about it and felt that Qin Yun was not very reliable.
"Somebody come!"
A Shen family secret guard jumped out.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and call Han Weilong. He doesn't like my daughters. As long as he can rescue them, I will betroth Shen Yue to him."
The secret guard paused: "But, Patriarch, didn't you just promise His Highness Prince Liang?"
Shen Wansan sneered: "My Shen family will never risk everything to achieve today's fortune, so go ahead!"
"promise!"
