Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when Yerunan opened the door of the study and saw the mess on the ground and the ruins in the house that looked like they had been hit by a sandstorm, he felt extremely regretful and wanted to turn around immediately. Let's go. Unfortunately, Yelvertu and Yelulan both saw him and waved him over.
Yerunan walked in, first saluted Yelvertu, then looked at the study, and couldn't help but sigh heavily. He originally thought that no matter how angry he got, he would at best smash a desk, bookcase or something like that, but now he saw that except for the beams and pillars, which were still intact, everything else could only be reset. He rubbed his forehead, walked around the obstacles on the ground, came to Yelvertu, and sat next to Yelvlan with a bitter look on his face.
"Uncle Wang, the cost of repairing the study this time will come from your private treasury." Yerunan looked at Yelvertu who had calmed down and said, "Uncle Wang, we didn't hide it on purpose, but we had our own reasons."
"I know, Anan, don't be nervous." Yelvertu waved his hand, "I just told Ahlan that the reason for being angry and angry is not because you are hiding it, but because this kid Yeluling has really lost us Yelu. The face of the family. As far as our family is concerned, the Xiao family is a scourge. If we don’t get rid of it completely, it may come back again that day. Yeluling, this kid, seems to be quite shrewd at first, but he is also stupid. Who should we ask for cooperation? No, we have to find Xiao Fengqi! That boy has not been a peaceful person since he was a child. On the surface, he is respectful and submissive, but in fact he is full of bad intentions. Do you think that the late king alone can come up with the kind of thing that hurts the enemy but only hurts oneself? Eight hundred recruits?"
"What Uncle Wang means..." Yelunan glanced at Yelulan, "Is it the Xiao family who is causing trouble behind the scenes? Ha, this is strange. What good will it do to them if the late king is gone? If Wang Shu is only the regent, he doesn't know how to treat them. With a deadly attack, Uncle Wang is now king, and their good days are over."
"Not necessarily, they are not afraid when my father is king." Yelulan shook his head, "Now we have to be more careful in our words and deeds. Everyone knows that the feud between our family and the Xiao family is inextricable. If the Xiao family is like this If something happens, no matter whether it was our fault or not, it will be blamed on us. That's why Xiao Fengqi is so confident in doing so. If our family messes up, the Xiao family can take advantage of it. This kind of thing Anyone with a brain can see the stakes, but Cousin Ling is blinded by power."
"He was born in the Yelu family and grew up in the Yelu family. He eats the food of the Yelu family and throws the blame on the Yelu family. Does he really think that if the Xiao family becomes powerful, he will have a foothold?" Yelu Nan sneered, "I thought he wasn't that stupid at first, but I didn't expect..." He looked at Yelvertu, whose face was as sinking as water, "Uncle Wang moved too fast, we wanted to come back and have a good trial. He, a pampered and pampered young man, would definitely not be able to bear the severe punishment, so he could more or less grasp some evidence of the Xiao family. Unexpectedly, we hurriedly hurried and took our time, and when we came back, everyone was turned into ashes. However, We later found out that it was useless even if Cousin Ling was alive, we still couldn’t find evidence of the Xiao family.”
"If he could easily let you find a handle, he would no longer be Xiao Fengqi."
"Uncle Wang is right." Yerunan nodded, "He and Cousin Ling have no correspondence at all. No matter how big or small they are, they talk about it in person without even a note. If it's Xiao Fengqi who's looking for him, he'll be in the Xiao Mansion Hang a lantern with colored paper on the east corner door, and vice versa.”
"This must be Xiao Fengqi's idea. He also knows that Yeluling is not the one who made things happen. If what happened between them is exposed, he can escape unscathed and put everything on Yeluling's head." Yelvertu Nodding, "Did the two uncles meet when they met?"
"Yes." Yelulan nodded, "It was a coincidence that we were both eating at the same restaurant, and we happened to bump into each other when we came out."
"Uncle Wang is so pitiful that he ended up in this situation in his old age." Yelvertu sighed, "You two go and visit from time to time, and do your best to show your filial piety!"
"Yes!" Yelulan and Yelunan agreed in unison.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the chamberlain came in to report that the inner study had been tidied up and lunch was set. The king and the two young masters were asked to move on.
The inner study is not far from the big study, and the three of them strolled in for a cup of tea. After the three people sat down, the waiter served them tea and then left silently.
"Has General Zhenguo settled down?" Yelvertu cut off a piece of mutton with a blade, put it into his mouth and chewed, "Are they still satisfied?"
"Yes, very satisfied." Yerunan took a sip of hot mutton soup, "They spent the whole night in the post house last night, and they seemed to be a little tired, but nothing else. My nephew asked them to have a good rest first. If you have anything to do, wait until you have enough energy to talk about it."
"As long as you are satisfied." Yelvertu also took a sip of the soup, "You two, remember, you must be honest and respectful when you see General Zhenguo. Although she is not old and she is a girl, Her skills and resourcefulness are not inferior to those of men. She has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and she can see through your little thoughts at a glance." He looked at Yerunan, "Have you done anything unnecessary?"
"My nephew just told them about Cousin Ling. They looked quite surprised." Yerunan touched his nose with some guilt, "I just wanted to see if their spies were targeting the people who came to our place recently." It got passed back. Judging from their reaction, it didn't."
"You!" Yelvertu shook his head helplessly and reached out to pick up a large piece of cake. "The people we should really be wary of are the Jin people. Now that we are on good terms with Xia, the people who should not be offended the most are the Shen Family Jun people." He gnawed on it. He took a mouthful of flatbread, chewed it twice, and drank two mouthfuls of mutton soup. "Our situation is no different from that of the Jin Kingdom. They are in trouble, and we are all hiding in the dark. If the Xiao family catches up with us at this time, If we try to win over people’s hearts before, it’s not impossible for them to go back on their word.”
"Father, don't worry. If there are people who want the Xiao family to disappear in this world, besides us, the second one is the Shen family army. A few years ago, when the Xiao family was still showing off their power on the battlefield, the Shen family army suffered a lot at their hands. They were defeated in the battle, and even General Zhenguo almost died at the hands of the Xiao family. In addition, some people in the Xiao family are still thinking about General Zhenguo. Do you really think they don’t know about it? Just the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Wuding In the past few years, rumors have spread that the Xiao family put down their dignity and went to ask for cooperation. Are they afraid that they will be beaten up if they don't see anyone?" Yelulan sneered, "Father, the Xiao family is self-aware and will never You will humiliate yourself. Not to mention..."
"What's more, they followed General Zhenguo all the way and assassinated the Daxia envoy on the first night after entering the city. They completely offended the Shen family army." Yerunan moved the untouched lamb ribs on his table to Yelulan's On the table, "It's your own fault that you will not survive!"
"By the way, have you told them about the palace banquet?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, we've already made an appointment." Yerunan nodded, "Alan and I can't get away tomorrow, so I'll ask Xiaofeng to pick them up, which will save a lot of trouble."
"Okay, I'll rest assured that you can do the work." Yelvertu nodded, "You two will rest after eating. After working hard for so many days, you can also rest your mind for tomorrow's palace banquet..." flashed on his face With a sneer, "Maybe something will happen!"
