The matter has finally come to an end, and everything about Phoenix City has been settled. I don’t know if everyone is happy. At least the old governor who has not been seen for a long time was very happy when he learned that this group of people was leaving, and even A banquet should be set up in a restaurant in the city, and the words should be put into practice for everyone.
To the old eunuch, the prince Wang Jiang was like a superior who came to supervise the affairs of Phoenix City. He happened to encounter disasters that happened in the city, which made him feel even more uncomfortable, fearing that something would go wrong. It will have an irreversible impact on his remaining career.
After all, this is the prince, and one sentence is more effective than several memorials. Especially the princess who led leopards around every day. Old Taishou Cheng was even more subconsciously worried, fearing that another trouble would occur. It didn't matter whether he could keep his official position. He was afraid that his life would be frightened half to death.
For the Fourteenth Prince Wang Jiang and Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was due to the instinctive fear of crushing people at the highest official level and being intimidated by the royal family's reputation. For the great God of Midnight, the old eunuch was really panicked from the bottom of his heart.
Before the two siblings showed up, the city lord, who was not easy to worry about, led the garrison to mess around black and white, and then came the group of thieves who came after the two siblings, causing such a fuss. A lot of things happened, and Cheng Shouyi felt that he had endured all the pressure and blows in his life.
He wished he could leave in the middle of the night so as not to affect his short official career. So, early that morning, after hearing that they were leaving Phoenix City and resting at home due to illness, Cheng Shouyi suddenly felt as good as ever and said he would set up a table at the best restaurant in the city, euphemistically calling it a reward for the past few days. His Highness Jiang and Young Master Ye’s helping hands.
The Fourteenth Prince, who had already packed his bags and was about to leave for Wudang Mountain, naturally did not know whether the official-minded prefect was sincere in his actions. He had already delayed his trip for several days. Although there was still one month left until March 3rd every year. It’s a big festival to start the new year, but just in case, no one knows what unpredictable things may happen on the way back and forth, so it’s best to be in front of everything.
Declining Cheng Shouyi's repeated invitations, Wang Jiang said: "I have important matters to attend to, and Wang He has to return to the capital as soon as possible to avoid worrying his father and mother, so he thanked the prefect for his kindness and waited until he came to the city on his way back. Ask the prefect to have a meal and a meal." Naturally, this was a modest remark, but it also frightened Cheng Shouyi greatly. The fist-cup ceremony when he sent off the prince and princess was obviously trembling.
"That's natural, it was natural then." There were a hundred and a thousand reluctances in my heart. I could only pray that some passing god would open his eyes and not let this powerful general with a low official position come back again. Don't come back either.
At least, don’t meet again until you have successfully completed your official career. Therefore, the old eunuch who had just been promoted to the third rank by relying on one person's enlightenment no longer pressed, and he did not dare to force, and looked at Princess He who was already on the horse.
It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that there is order in order of superiority and inferiority, and the proper etiquette must be done. The youngest princess of Da Zhou was tearfully bidding farewell to Ye Xia You at midnight.
Completely for emotional reasons, Wang He didn't want to say goodbye to his second sister and third brother whom he had just met for a few days.
Of course, it's not artificial. Compared with Ye Sifu who just left without delay in Wudang Mountain some time ago, the two of them haven't been at home often since they were young. They have family ties, and their relationship is not as good as this since they were young. Her Royal Highness the Princess running towards the winding mountain.
Since she couldn't bear to be separated, Princess He's big tears were lingering in her eyes.
"Second sister, third brother, I want to stay." Ye Sangen, who was very tired of this kind of sentimentality about parting and leaving, could also say some harsh words to men, such as not liking Wang Jiang's nagging the first day, Those who have no dignity can say whatever they want, but for Wang He, the third watch at night is a bit troublesome.
A woman's tears can turn hundreds of refined steel into soft fingers, let alone a princess. Wang He's eyes were red, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I have played so well with the little leopard, and I don't want to leave." After all, she was a girl under twenty, so Ye Sangen directly pushed her sister ahead.
For this dynasty pearl who has been close to her family from infancy to adulthood, Ye Xiayou could only advise: "Go home first, your third brother and I will leave after we finish our work."
"I can also help you with your work. I woke up the third brother." Knowing very well that she couldn't control her abilities that night, the little girl cried even more sadly, turning a blind eye to the respectful and polite old lady beside her.
Wang Jiang has already begun to urge. Ye Xiayou stepped forward and waved, and Princess He bent down on horseback. Ye Xiaer whispered a few words, and Princess He burst into laughter.
There was no long pavilion of ten miles to say goodbye, and twenty or thirty people rode away.
"What did you say?" Ye Sangeng, who couldn't hold back his doubts, asked, but was met with a meaningful smile from his sister.
After finally sending away the brother and sister who were supposed to be the most troublesome, Cheng Shouyi looked at the Ye family siblings who were the most troublesome to him with a smile.
Having seen the prefect's way of life, and still thinking about what his sister said to fool Wang He, he met his gaze at midnight and said hurriedly: "We won't go either, and we won't bother you again. We still have things to do." Naturally, he understood what this comrade was thinking. Qi Moyan, who had been watching Wang Jiang and his entourage leave without saying a word, said: "Master Cheng, there are no outsiders, so go and do what you have to do. I've been so tired and thin in the past few days." Of course Cheng Shouyi didn't care whether he was thin or not, but after hearing these two sentences that were more effective than the imperial edict, the old lady Cheng Shouyi's anxious heart finally calmed down, and she clasped her fists and bowed.
"Xiaoguan has been ill these past few days. There are many affairs in the mansion, so I won't bother you much. The second lady and the third son have a good trip." Then he returned to the government office with official steps.
Ye Sangen rolled his eyes. Looking back again, Qi Moyan was filled with affection,
"Far and near, this farewell..." The most unaccustomed to such ink marks, he helped his sister in the middle of the night and interrupted: "The two of us are going to stay in the village, and we will talk when we come back tomorrow." Only then did Qi Moyan reluctantly take it back. That's a lot of words.
Of course, they will not go to Zhuzhai Village. This is just a temporary excuse to fool Qi Moyan. Jiang Xiaolong and Jiang Xiaobai are living well in Zhuzhai Village. Jiang Yi went there as early as midnight when he was unconscious and asked to explain The two children stayed at ease. He had made unique marks on the door along the way. If he didn't take the two children back for a long time, someone would come looking for them.
But no one would have thought that such an arrangement would leave some hidden dangers for the future turmoil in the capital that would shock the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about the present. The reason why he used this as an excuse was not against Qi Moyan, but because he didn't want those who still covet the Luminous Monument to find out his whereabouts. People like Hai Dongqing, who are more morally inclined, would be afraid of Bilan. Po's behavior was reckless, and she might be a sneak attack from behind. Ye Sangeng couldn't guarantee that she would be as scheming as Po Lan, and she would be as polite as she was at the beginning, saying hello when she came.
Thinking of Bilanpo, I only heard that she escaped by pretending to be a dead body. I heard her say that Tienuan Guhuiye had arrived at Xingluo Villa, but she never showed up. This is really hard to understand.
And yesterday, he only asked his cousin Jiang Yi to follow the general's order. Now even Ye Xiayou regrets his haste. In fact, there are still many things that he has not yet figured out, such as how Bi Lanpo and General Ningzhiyu met. Ling came together. Could it be that they had known each other before?
It's just that the done deal is over, there's no need to dwell on it anymore. General Ling is so tight-lipped that Jiang Yi needs to follow him to find out his details. Maybe even if he is let go and conditions are met, he won't be able to get anything useful out of his mouth.
Yan Yan, Lou Gui and Lou Zhen stayed in Phoenix City, waiting for the imperial doctor invited by Wang Jiang to diagnose and treat them. Ye Xia Yu, who already knew what kind of poison he had been poisoned, would not say more, but still because For that reason, for this kind of thing, aside from the so-called chance, before the matter comes to light, there are too many variables, so it is best not to alarm too many people.
Especially the official court. There are countless factors involved at the moment. Apart from the unclear development of the matter, it is best not to alarm the officials. The two siblings are currently wanted because of the Luminous Monument. Although they are not wanted by the court, they are still a little sensitive. They may be arrested by some. A thoughtful person can use the topic to his advantage.
There are many people in the court who are jealous of Panshan, a geomantic treasure land outside the court. Those who are interested are looking eagerly to find out some clues. It is true that officials protect each other in the officialdom, and it is true that officials compete with each other. The water is deep. , The mouth of a scholar, the sword of a warrior, kill without blood.
Ye Xiayou and Ye Sangeng, who had already made plans, just asked for a horse, took the leopard with them, said goodbye to Qi Moyan, and left the city all the way.
There are not too many farewell exclamations, after all, the moon waxes and wanes, the flowers bloom and wither, and parting is the most painful thing in life. The main road in front of the city's mansion is sparsely populated by passers-by.
Immediately, Ye Xiayou suddenly said: "Has Qi Moyan returned to the government office?" Ye Sangen, who didn't understand the question, still turned around and glanced at it. The infatuated man was looking forward to it.
Ye Sangen raised his hand and shook it in that direction, saying: "Not yet." Ye Xia'er's face was turned back with uncontrollable joy.
"It has to bring out some feelings of separation. Why do I feel so excited now?"
"Ah?" Ye Sangeng, who still insisted on letting his sister ride the horse and lead the horse even though he hadn't recovered yet, said in shock.
"Is it because of Qi Moyan?"
"Obviously not."
"Huh?" Ye Xiayou stretched out greatly. Under the gaze of passers-by like a monster, the blind woman raised her arms and shouted,
"Go home." Indeed, there is nothing more gratifying than going home.
