Zhao Yichen's expression froze, and he couldn't help but recall 888's ferocious appearance just now. With his strength, it might be possible to cause heavy losses to Dark Night Pavilion.
An Yi looked at his sword in silence. The last time it was the tip, but this time it was broken.
"It's going to rain today, why don't you guys take shelter from the rain?" Qi Yuan stood at the door, his bookish demeanor making Qi Yuan even more polite.
This made Zhao Yichen subconsciously treat him politely and express his thanks.
"Thank you, Mr. Liang."
888 returned to the yard proudly and looked at Qi Yuan, looking like he was begging for praise.
Qi Yuan patted 888 on the shoulder, showing an expression of satisfaction and praise, and then 888 happily entered the room.
Qi Yuan took back her hand and could get a thug with a few complimentary expressions. Why didn't she save some energy and let her younger brother do it?
Zhao Yichen and An Yi followed into the house, and 888 took medicine to wrap Zhao Yichen's wound.
"The spring rain is falling, how about we go to the pavilion to drink tea and listen to the sound of rain?"
Faced with Qi Yuan's proposal, Zhao Yichen didn't want to listen to the rain, but since he wanted to make friends, he needed to get closer.
"Master Liang's words are exactly what I want."
Qi Yuan smiled and nodded, then sat in the pavilion in the yard with Zhao Yichen, making tea and chatting.
Lightning pierced the sky, thunder rolled, and a crack of thunder fell not far from the yard.
888 sat on the threshold leaning against the door of the main room, trying not to laugh.
World Tiandao was probably very angry, so he tried to use Chun Lei to give him a warning but gave up.
"Walking in the rain is not fun. Mr. Zhao, would you like to walk and talk together?" Qi Yuan stood up and took the oil-paper umbrella handed over by 888 and asked expectantly.
Zhao Yichen was stunned for a moment. He and Qi Yuan were talking about something they were interested in, so he naturally wanted to hear what Qi Yuan said.
"Master Liang really knows my heart, and I have exactly what I want." Zhao Yichen pretended to be surprised, took the umbrella and couldn't wait to follow Qi Yuan's footsteps.
An Yi protected Zhao Yichen and followed the two of them not far away.
Seeing Qi Yuan walking out of the yard, 888 couldn't help laughing.
Pfft hahaha...
This is to make the world's heavenly way angry and deliberately make fun of it.
With Zhao Yichen, Tiandao's biological son, following him, Tiandao himself was afraid of killing him again by accident.
Qi Yuan regarded Zhao Yichen as a human lightning rod, even if Heaven wanted to use the spring thunder to strike people.
The Heavenly Way of the World: If you don’t play like this, don’t deceive the hostages if you have the ability!
The world's Tiandao is angry and disappointed. Why is his son of luck so easy to coax? ?
The world's heavenly law has completely lost its temper, so it should just ask people to spend money to avoid disasters.
Soon this menacing spring rain ended in a hurry.
Zhao Yichen held an umbrella and talked with Qi Yuan. He was so impressed by Qi Yuan's knowledge that he didn't even know it had stopped raining.
"Your Highness, the sky is clearing." Qi Yuan closed his umbrella and said.
Only then did Zhao Yichen realize what he was doing, and he closed the umbrella but still had some unfinished thoughts.
"Master, it's time to go back." An reminded Zhao Yichen in a low voice.
The four secret guards who were sent also came back. Looking at Qi Yuan, Zhao Yichen felt more and more that he was not at a disadvantage if he was hunted down this time.
Li Wangcai was powerful and a fierce general, and Liang Cai was even more knowledgeable and insightful. He was sure that after a while, Liang Cai would be more blessed than Wu Shilang in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
How could the struggle for the throne be hidden from his father? Compared with those forces, a lonely minister with no foundation like Liang Cai was more worthy of training.
"Qingyuan has outstanding talents. Princess Fuhua will hold a flower appreciation party in three days. The young ladies from all the families will attend. Why don't Qingyuan go and relax." Zhao Yichen smiled and handed his jade pendant to Qi Yuan, "If Qingyuan and Mr. Tan want to Just go and take this jade pendant with you, I will let my aunt know in advance."
Qi Yuan looked at the jade pendant in Zhao Yichen's hand and smiled, "Thank you, I will consider it."
Zhao Yichen felt better when he saw that Qi Yuan did not refuse, "Then I will make tea in three days and wait for Qingyuan to continue chatting."
Qi Yuan smiled, without nodding or rejecting. It seemed to Zhao Yichen that as long as he didn't reject, he had a good impression of him.
Such people cannot be won over or offended.
Thinking of Minister Wu, he took the position of Minister of Civil Affairs in just a few years after coming to the capital. It was Emperor Zhou Yuan who valued him because he came from a poor family and was an upright man.
The Holy Emperor is cultivating his loyal ministers. After all, which emperor doesn't like his lone ministers who are only loyal to him?
After watching Zhao Yichen and his party disappear from sight, they walked towards Tan Che's house.
Tan Che had already heard the fight and saw Qi Yuan talking with Zhao Yichen, so Tan Che was waiting at the door when Qi Yuan arrived.
"The eldest prince is being hunted again?"
"Almost, he escaped from the dead men who were chasing him and bumped into the Dark Night Pavilion killer who came to kill us." Qi Yuan explained.
Tan Che frowned, "How can those people get so much money to hire a killer?"
Qi Yuan shook his head and handed the jade pendant given by Zhao Yichen to Tan Che, "The eldest princess will hold a flower viewing banquet in three days. The young ladies and gentlemen of various noble families will attend. Zhao Yichen wants us to attend the banquet."
Tan Che looked at the jade pendant and frowned even more, "Why are we going to the banquet?"
"Befriend the powerful people and know who are buying and killing people. There is no need other than that."
Tan Che handed the jade pendant to Qi Yuan, "When we go, we will join the eldest prince's faction."
Tan Che actually didn't want to participate in the battle for the throne.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Huai'an has made a lot of progress. We won't be regarded as the eldest prince when we go there. We will definitely receive other invitations before the flower viewing party."
"Isn't the eldest princess from the eldest prince's faction? Are there other invitations?" Tan Che is not very clear about the power in the capital.
Qi Yuan shook his head. Even if she knew, she had to pretend not to know. How could she know so much when she stayed in the suburbs every day.
"I'm not sure yet, but Zhao Yichen is a smart man. He knows how to choose the best interests. The benefits brought by us taking refuge in him now are not big, so I guess that the eldest princess has not taken sides yet, and we will receive other princes. An olive branch given.”
Qi Yuan explained, shook off the rainwater on his umbrella, took the jade pendant and prepared to go back.
"Then what if we receive other invitations?" Tan Che sent Qi Yuan out and continued to ask what Qi Yuan meant.
"No, there is no need to rush forward. Now that we have gone, we have no status and no great fame. If we are in an embarrassing situation, we will inevitably rely on the familiar Zhao Yichen at the banquet.
If we go, then there will definitely be people at the banquet who will make things difficult for us. Even if we don't take sides or participate, we will be involved. "
Tan Che nodded, obviously he didn't have as many thoughts as Qi Yuan, he just simply didn't want to attend such a banquet.
"Qingyuan's advice is that the National Examination is coming soon, why not let me study at home."
Tan Che said and nodded in agreement.
