Today's Jinling City is much more lively than in the past. The streets are full of people, shops and vendors are also coming and going, and the faces of pedestrians are filled with festive smiles.
Especially the children, running and playing in groups, their silver bell-like smiles infected the crowds coming and going.
Zhou Chen held Gong Yu's arm and walked on the street. The talented man and the beautiful woman did not attract too much attention, because there were not a few men and women like them, and they were all carefully dressed. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. Beautiful.
In fact, this situation is extremely rare within a year. After all, in this era, although women's status is higher than that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, under normal circumstances, women still rarely go out, especially when shopping with men. There are very few.
But today is New Year’s Eve, and many women will choose to go out on this day, because the huge Jinling City will be particularly lively on this day, and there will also be many performances. It is a rare spectacle in the year, and those who have been carrying it at home all year round will Women, of course, want to come out and join in the fun.
"Jinling City is really lively today."
Gong Yu looked at the bustle on the street with a smile. She had stayed in Jinling for several years, but this year was the happiest. She was in a good mood and was happy to see everything.
"It's quite lively."
Although this kind of liveliness is much worse than the urban world where Zhou Chen lives, in this era, it is probably the most lively and prosperous area.
"Hey, there's a clay figurine maker over there. Come on, let's go make a clay figurine."
More than a dozen people gathered in the side hall, all sitting around. No one was hanging things, no one was cleaning, and no one was playing mahjong.
A new year, a new end. Although it is early in the morning, there are still things to do. When it is time to exercise, we still need to exercise...
Brother Meng sighed: "Have you guessed it? It's true that even if it's not in time, King Yu still can't wait for quick success. What happened like that, although it has nothing to do with Yu Qinzhi, but this His Majesty may be just for that As soon as the matter happened, Zhuo Dingfeng was removed from his position as the junior commander of the imperial army; but King Yu went to plead for Zhuo Dingfeng at that time. With the suspicious character of His Majesty, if he would have thought less."
If Yu Qin'ao is against me, he can only follow my heart. If I take action privately and rashly disrupt Brother Meng's plan, I'm afraid it will irritate Brother Meng.
What's more, Zhou Chen is really sober, how could he let Emperor Liang become the junior commander of the Forbidden Army so easily.
"Thank you." Fei Liu smiled broadly and ran to the side holding his things.
Zhen Ping knows that the reason why Brother Meng is in a bad mood is because that place is my home and I have lived there for more than ten years. Especially in a situation like mine now where I know I don’t have much time left to live. The feeling of returning home is even greater.
The craftsmanship of the vendors making clay figurines was really bad. They made the seven people from Zhen Ping wait for a long time, and they quickly smashed two lifelike clay figurines.
Yu Qinzhi's intelligence ability quickly revealed the identity and location of the low-ranking people in Jiang Zuo League's hands. Then Lin Chen took action and picked them all off.
"Do I really hate playing with Fei Liu? Now that I'm missing Brother Nie, I should be chatting."
"Let's go, you go back."
Zhen Ping knows the plot. In fact, if he wants to slow down, he can definitely do it. But Brother Meng knows the plot. I want to take the plan into my own hands, so I don’t have time to take risks and lead Yu Qin’s suggestions. All plans that are not gambling are in favor.
Yu Qinzhi nodded and said: "His analysis is wrong. Your plan is not to cut off the minions of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. The current situation of Prince Yu is in your plan. It's just that you didn't think that I would be so impulsive in doing things now. No matter what, at that time, the power of Prince Yu can be suppressed by the Crown Prince. Only if the Crown Prince and Prince Yu don't fight, Prince Jing and you can benefit."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and soon it was dinner time. Brother Meng sat at the main seat, Yu Qin sat on the right, in front were Nie Feng, Xia Dong and others, Yu Qin and Xie Yu sat on the left, and in front was Yan Xiaofu. Li Gang et al.
"Well, although the New Year has not yet passed, but the weather has not warmed up yet, he should go out more and pay attention to his health."
Zhen Ping was very calm. I knew that incident had happened outside the plot. The reason why I wanted to tell it personally was because I thought it would be useful to tell it.
Yu Qin laughed and handed me all the delicious and playful things outside his hand.
"The atmosphere of the New Year. Is celebrating the New Year in Jinling City more festive than celebrating the New Year in Langzhou?"
Zhen Ping said calmly: "Prince Yu is actually very stupid. If I were the emperor, I might not be much worse than the old guy now. The same thing is that back then, this old guy didn't have a group of people who could trust him with his life and death." Bad friends cannot be trusted, and bad ministers cannot be trusted. No one in the military, courtiers, or nobles supports them. In comparison, even if the Duke of Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice have not fallen, King Yu will still be the same as before under the influence. This old thing."
Both of us were confused. It was Brother Meng and Mei Changsu who took action, but there was nothing we could do. We were as strong as human beings and could use the army in the capital. What else could we do? There is no way to retaliate, except for breaking teeth and swallowing blood.
The most angry person undoubtedly wanted to marry Emperor Liang and the Jiang Zuo Alliance.
Brother Meng asked, "What?"
There are various stalls selling food and drink, acrobatics performers, rouge jewelry sellers, etc., etc., they are all here.
"Your last target was not Emperor Liang, but there is still time before now, so after that, you still have to help King Yu stabilize the situation, and by using King Yu, you can completely get rid of Emperor Liang."
"Sir, is he really going to take a look?"
"The fire and cold poison back then was too fierce. If you had an ordinary physique, you would be the same as me. In fact, you also told me to slow down, but I was still too cautious and wanted to be the first in everything. If you want to pave the worst possible path for Jamel Xiao, even at the expense of your own body, I would advise you not to do it."
There are a total of seventeen teams, and we can probably keep an eye on them all. Does Mei Changsu still have so few low-level players in the capital?
Returning to the mansion, Zhen Ping found that Butler Lu was still there, as were Lan Yu and Zi Yu. As for the others, they had all temporarily left the mansion.
Brother Meng didn't say anything nonsense, and said directly: "None of the seventeen teams that delivered food last night were assassinated inside the palace wall. You guess that our purpose was to plot the position of Yu Qinzhi, the junior commander of the Imperial Army, and no one was assassinated inside the palace wall. That motive is most definitely Emperor Liang."
"Fei Liu just wants to play with me. Brother Nie can not only accompany Sister Dong, but also read books and go out."
The reason why I met my mother was not only because I was prepared for bad things, but also because the things that Brother Meng and I had to do were too small. If I met my mother when we were planning to get married, I would definitely keep it a secret. It only makes you worry more.
"Sect Master, is my body really not that bad?"
Zhen Ping watched Yu Qinzhi change all the way, from the genius he was back then to the cunning strategist he is now.
After arriving at the big stall where clay figurines were made, Zhen Ping asked the vendor to make them in the same way that Yu Qin and I looked.
Not a single person in the food-delivery team sent by Zhou Chen was killed inside the palace wall. An internal prisoner and a team of forbidden troops were completely destroyed.
After whispering for a long time, Zhen Ping hugged Yu Qin and fell asleep together.
Before sending Brother Meng away, Zhen Ping returned to the room. Xie Yu had not yet poured the cold tea for me.
Zhen Ping took it over and took a look, and was very satisfied. The craftsmanship was purely manual. If there was any machine addition, it could be made like that. The craftsmanship was definitely the best. No wonder he didn't have the confidence to set up a stall in the capital.
"It's wrong, it's wrong."
"What's more, I have now lost the support of the military, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice. It is very abnormal for me to lose my mind in trying to slow down my anger. Of course, according to your estimation, under abnormal circumstances, King Yu should still be so stupid. , it is very unlikely that this man Qin Banruo is teasing me from behind."
Compared with Langya's top ten weak players, I may be worse, but compared with the Jianghu League's recruitment of these weak players, this is not a dimensionality reduction attack.
Although that incident did not cause any commotion in the imperial court, it caused a huge disturbance in the Jianghu area around Jinling.
Anyway, we are all willing to take action against Emperor Liang, so whether Yuqin can succeed that time will not have a small impact on us. Xiao Jingrui's birthday is not the end of Emperor Liang.
Brother Meng said: "You don't have that idea. Since we want to use rivers and lakes to achieve our goals, you should let us know who is in charge of that rivers and lakes."
After just walking around two streets, Zhen Ping's wrists were not full of things, and the same was true for Yu Qin. In the end, he had no choice but to postpone his return to Gong Yu.
"Fei Liu is so good, I'll give it to him last time."
Brother Meng rolled his eyes: "That's not what you came to him for. By the way, Su Mansion also asked you to bring him a message, telling him to come and play with me. I'm too busy chatting alone."
When Zhen Ping and Yu Qin came back, everyone playing mahjong was watching. However, Fei Liu saw that Zhen Ping had so few bad guys and ran over happily.
When Yu Qinzhi found Zhen Ping, Zhen Ping was playing chess with Xie Yu. When Xie Yu saw Brother Meng coming, he went up first.
In those years, Lin Chen's martial arts declined very slowly due to Zhen Ping's "provocation", especially in swordsmanship, where he was extremely talented and could hardly keep up with Zhen Ping.
Yes, on that New Year's Eve, everyone had a rare moment of relaxation. Brother Meng naturally kept the little family's nerves tense.
On New Year's Eve last night, when the whole country was celebrating, a small incident happened that shocked the palace.
Brother Meng's expression was rare and tense, something he would never see in Langzhou in the future.
Brother Meng smiled and distributed red envelopes to Fei Liu and other Mei Changsu disciples. Everyone in the hall was filled with smiles and celebrated happily.
It must be said that as the capital of Xiaoliang, Jinling City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially during the festival, when all kinds of people show up.
Although Brother Meng told you his guess, and Xia Dong also agreed with it, but after all, there is no real evidence, and you know that before Brother Meng loses his plan, you are ready to cooperate with Brother Meng and pretend to investigate with Xia Chun. Behind the scenes, the collection of intelligence about Yu Qin was completed.
Seeing that Zhen Ping's mood was too low, you asked loudly: "Sir, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Everyone who had eaten did not leave, and gathered together to wait to watch the New Year's Eve. At that time, watching the New Year's Eve was a very grand event. Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, it was not the most important thing for a small family to gather together to watch the New Year's Eve. Something to be upset about.
"The festive atmosphere and silence in Jinling City are indeed far superior to those in Langzhou. It's really depressing for you to be able to celebrate the New Year there this year."
Xie Yu knew how to persuade him, so he could only say: "Maybe I don't have my own considerations, Master, so don't worry too much, Master."
Xia Dong is not yet from Zhenping's side, so before accepting the order, he immediately came to Gong Yu and told Brother Meng about the incident.
The news of the murder on Xiaodian's Eve had not been completely spread. Yu Qin had initially hired the Xuanjing Division to investigate the case. The persons in charge were Xia Chun and Xia Dong.
Brother Meng did not sit down to play cards, but played with Fei Liu. The ones playing cards were Xia Dong, Li Gang, Su Fu and Yan Xiaofu.
"He went back and told me, if I want to come, I can come. You can rest at home during those few days and go anywhere."
"What is he going to do? Send people to cut off Emperor Liang's minions and the gangsters in Tianquan Villa?" Zhen Ping guessed what Brother Meng was thinking.
Jiangzuo League spent nearly half a year and a lot of money and effort to recruit those low-level players. After a few days, they were all picked. How could they be angry?
Lin Chen had been in a latent state since he arrived in the capital. Before that incident happened, Brother Meng finally decided to officially activate me.
Zhen Ping walked to sit next to Brother Meng and asked, "How do you feel?"
Yu Qin and Zhen Ping stood under the wall, looking at the mansion behind.
"You'll pay attention."
Zhen Ping sighed: "Something happened. It's not that Dashu's health is getting worse and worse. If you go up like me, even if you use your internal power to treat me every day, it will have little effect."
What's more, Nie Feng and Xia Dong, whom I hadn't seen in ten years, were celebrating the New Year with me that time.
"Brother Chen."
I wanted to stimulate Brother Meng, so I could only let Yu Qinzhi worry about it, but I was worried about Brother Meng's health, so I could only stay by my side to protect me.
What's more, Jiangzuo League and others who took action that time, except for me and Fei Liuzhili, who were in Beijing, would also be our opponents when they meet Yu Qinzhi. If we gather together, it will be beneficial to us.
"Yes, I am the least independent person. There are not many people who can persuade me now."
So I am prepared to prevent that thing from happening. Even if that thing happens, it will actually be of little benefit to us.
Zhen Ping shook his head and said: "Forget it, the time has not passed yet, just wait."
After ten years of being together, I truly regard Brother Meng as my best friend, brother and relative, so I feel very simple now.
When we returned to Gong Yu, the sky had not turned white yet, preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner had not yet been completed, and Brother Meng had not yet gathered the family in the side hall.
In the end, without the help of my internal strength, if Brother Meng's body is much worse than the original one, according to my estimation, if he lives for another seven years, the problem should be small, and the latter is that he can receive too little stimulation.
Zhen Ping and Xie Yu waited until the vigil began before leaving Yu Qin. However, we did not go back to the house immediately, but went around in a circle and came to a house.
…………
"So he went to see King Yu and kicked him out?" Zhen Ping asked knowingly.
Zhen Ping raised his little thumb and praised: "That domineering sentence completely replicated the spirit of the long-time general Lin Shu."
Before giving enough money, Zhen Ping took the clay figurine and left with Xie Yu. Then he bought a bunch of candied haws for Xie Yu, and the two of them ate them separately.
"You will bring his words to me, and then you can leave first."
