"I wonder, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the big devil who is locked up in the deepest part of the East Lake Thatched Cottage?"
"I've heard some, but that happened more than ten years ago. I was still young at that time, and I don't know the specific situation. I just know that he came to Andu, started a bloody storm, and was captured by Zhu Yiwei. , the rest is unknown, and there is no relevant record in Zhu Yiwei."
Ren Ruyi thought: "I only remember that in that siege, everyone including the Zhu Yiwei leader, the left and right envoys, and the Feiyi envoys were all killed. Zhu Yiwei was rebuilt and promoted talents. I He just got the chance to be promoted to the Purple Envoy, and he was released?"
"I don't know. My people saw who Zhu Yiwei picked up from the East Lake Thatched Cottage and transported them to Yong'an Tower. But who they were, my people couldn't see clearly and didn't recognize them, and they couldn't go to Yong'an Tower. Inquiring, after all, more than ten years have passed, whether it is the devil or not is also the guess of my subordinates."
Jin Meiniang rubbed her head: "We spent a lot of money and bribed a few Zhu Yiwei, but they didn't know the situation or even who the person was. They only knew that he was a prisoner in the East Lake Cottage. , but Deng Zhu will not pull out a prisoner without any reason, so please be careful, Your Majesty."
"Um."
Ren Ruyi nodded, took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it on the table. Jin Meiniang recognized it at a glance. It was the jade pendant of the Jinsha Gang elder, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.
"Subordinate, I just think... if something happens, it would be easier to contact me."
"Then you can give it to me directly. What can I do for Jingting?"
Ren Ruyi's face turned cold: "He still put it in his pocket. If I hadn't washed his clothes for him, he wouldn't have told me."
Jin Meiniang lowered her head, with a slightly sweet smile on her face.
"I will return the jade pendant to him, but you must be careful between you and him."
Ren Ruyi put away the jade pendant and stared at Jin Meiniang.
"Ahem, I understand that if nothing happens to your Majesty, I will resign."
Putting away the smile on her face, Jin Meiniang stood up.
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Just as Jin Meiniang left, before Ren Ruyi could see her off, she saw Li Tongguang walking in with Yu Shisan.
"master."
Just as Li Tongguang saluted, Ren Ruyi saw Jingting's face appearing outside the window, followed by a bunch of heads from Ning Yuanzhou, Qian Zhao and others.
"What's the matter?" Ren Ruyi swept his sleeves and straightened his back.
"My disciple is here to bid farewell to the master. I have been harassed by the mission for a few days. As the introduction envoy of the Wu Kingdom Mission, my disciple cannot stay forever. I am busy with reception matters and official duties. It is time for my disciple to go back."
"Then let's go."
"But... this is not rude. Since my disciple has been harassing me here for a few days, I also want to invite everyone from the mission to come and see me."
Li Tongguang turned his head and looked at Jingting at the window.
"Marquis Changqing's kindness, our hearts..."
"good."
Ning Yuanzhou was about to shirk the blame, but Jingting agreed.
Boom ~ boom ~
The deputy head of the Liudao Hall, who had not taken the Ten Thousand Machine Antidote for a long time, covered his heart.
——————
"Just go, I'm not afraid of that Li Tongguang!"
After dinner, Yang Ying found out the information about Li Tongguang, and lay on the desk to watch carefully. Beside the inkstone was a wooden butterfly, flapping its wings slowly.
"Your Highness~Your Highness~"
Yang Ying looked at the window. Outside the window, Yuan Lu held a bottle and called softly: "Your Highness, this is the latest drink I went to ask Brother Qian to make. It is sweet and delicious. Let me give it to you to try."
"Okay."
Yang Ying's eyes lit up, and she climbed out of the window using her hands and feet.
"Hey~" Yuanlu picked it up skillfully, and the girl landed steadily.
Seeing Yang Ying jumping out of the window and being caught by Yuan Lu, Qian Zhao almost jumped out not far away, buried his head again, and quietly moved forward two steps.
"Here, your Highness, have a taste."
The two sat down against the corner, and Yuan Lu handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Yang Ying.
"Hmm~" Yang Ying picked up the bamboo tube and drank it. "It's so sweet and delicious."
"Hehe, it tastes good. There are pears, peaches and other fruit shops here. It's hard to buy. Brother Qian spent the entire afternoon making them."
Seeing the girl's eyes shining because of the sweet drink, Yuan Lu smiled particularly happily.
"It tastes good, Yuanlu, you should drink it too."
After several sips, Yang Ying was a little reluctant to let go, but resolutely put the bamboo tube into Yuan Lu's hand.
"No, no, your highness works so hard every day. I just drank it."
Yuan Lu waved his hands hurriedly: "Your Majesty, just drink it and it will be fine. When the drink is gone, I will go and ask for money, big brother."
"Then remember to tell Lao Qian that you want sour plum flavor. Sweet and sour ones are the best."
When the little princess smiled, her big eyes narrowed into slits, leaving the young man in a daze.
"good."
"Yuanlu, thank you. You should also thank Brother Qian for me."
"Hmm~" The boy blushed.
"Ning Tou'er said that Marquis Tianchangqing will definitely hold a Hongmen Banquet. How are His Highness's preparations going?"
After coming back to his senses, Genroku brought the topic back on track.
"I'm not afraid of him!"
Yang Ying raised her chin and imitated Ren Ruyi's look. She was very domineering but also a little cute: "No matter what he wants to do, I have confidence. I will definitely step in for the master! Teach this Marquis Changqing a lesson!"
"The Marquis of Changqing is not easy to deal with either, but His Highness must gain the upper hand this time."
Yuan Lu pouted: "Otherwise, brother Jingting's life will definitely not be easy in the future."
"Ah, why?"
"Your Highness, think about it, you are Brother Jingting's apprentice, and Li Tongguang is Sister Ruyi's apprentice. It seems like you two will be facing off tomorrow, but it is actually Brother Jingting and Sister Ruyi competing to see who taught them the best. Hello, apprentice."
Speaking of business, Yuan Lu's still slightly immature face was full of seriousness: "Think about it, this Li Tongguang has been in the army for a long time, has experienced battlefield experience, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Changqing at a young age.
As for His Highness, he has just become Brother Jingting’s apprentice not long ago, but when Li Tongguang extended the invitation, Brother Jingting agreed. How much trust is that? If you don't get laughed at by Sister Ruyi, you probably get a few words of bragging. "
"Gu will not embarrass the master. Gu has already memorized the information about Marquis Changqing! Gu... Gu is not afraid of him at all. Gu is so powerful!"
Yang Ying stood up with a flick of her robe: "Just watch, when it gets dark, Gu will be able to calmly go to see the Marquis of Changqing. No matter it is the Hongmen Banquet or something else, Gu will be the first to go in." !”
Under the sky full of stars, the young man sat on the ground, raised his head and looked at the girl who was as bright as the stars in front of him. Slowly, only her figure was left in his eyes.
