Shi Changan was calmed down by the arrogance in Xiao Yan's mouth, and looked at his face that was sharp and resolute and sharp. It was an ambition that he had never seen on the faces of other emperors in previous dynasties.
Shi Changan suddenly laughed. Not only did he not ridicule him for being too arrogant, but he said loudly.
"Okay, what a world, there will no longer be a distinction between Wei and Qi, and there will no longer be a distinction between the Lord of Qi and the Lord of Wei."
This man named Cao rarely misjudged the person.
Only such a person is worthy of his following.
Shi Changan stood up with one hand on his side. After arranging his clothes, he solemnly saluted Xiao Yan.
"Shi Yulin has met the Lord and is willing to do his best to assist the Lord as he wishes."
Xiao Yan accepted his courtesy calmly, and then stretched out his hand to help Shi Changan stand up.
"Sir's name is Yulin? What are those two characters?"
"The beauty of jade water and mountains, the name of Qilin."
Cao Dejiang snorted from the side: "He chose this name himself, how shameless."
The solemn look on Shi Changan's face didn't stop, he turned around and glared at Cao Dejiang: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Besides, you don't have the face to speak to me, as if you are ashamed of your words!"
"You can defend yourself, Bo Ru. Your master didn't name you those two words back then. It was clearly Bo Ru."
Bo, Qiao Zhi, used this word to mean modesty, tolerance, talent and beauty, but Cao Dejiang changed the word himself after he was expelled from the school.
Shi Changan scorned him without politeness: "You are just fooling others because no one knows about it. You are still indifferent, indifferent and clear-minded, calm and devoid of appearance. How do you resemble this person?"
"Old, cunning, deep-minded, vicious-mouthed, and greedy. Does the word "Puru" have anything to do with you?"
Cao Dejiang: "...Nonsense, that's what I called it when I was young."
"Make it up!"
Shi Changan rolled his eyes: "I still have the letter you wrote when you provoked my sect. Do you want to read it?"
"cough!"
Cao Dejiang coughed heavily, and when he saw Tang Ning and Xiao Yan standing aside with their faces full of interest, he let out a stiff look on his face.
"What are you looking at? Who didn't do a few stupid things when they were young?" Then he glared at Shi Chang'an: "Shi Yulin, are you embarrassed to settle old scores in front of a junior?"
Shi Changan's face was expressionless: "It's not my people who were lost!"
Cao Dejiang: "..."
Tang Ning saw that the old man who had always been strategizing turned green, his shoulders shook and he almost laughed.
Xiao Yan also twitched the corner of his mouth.
No wonder these two can "sympathize with each other" so much. When they were young, they were both very capable of giving in.
Yulin... Boru...
Phew.
Cao Dejiang and Shi Changan looked over at the same time. Xiao Yan put his fist to his lips and coughed: "The moon is quite round today."
Outside the window, dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the sky was dark.
Cao Dejiang/Shi Changan: Do you want to see what the hell you are talking about!
…
Xiao Yan and Tang Ning were kicked out directly by Cao Dejiang. When they arrived outside Yanling Ju, Xiao Yan still had a smile on his face.
If I had a complicated mood when I came here, with a certain amount of anxiety and temptation, now I feel completely relaxed after chatting with Cao Dejiang.
Not to mention Tang Ning who was following Xiao Yan, even Cang Lang and Chamberlain Xu standing outside could feel that their master was in a very good mood.
Xiao Yan said to Xu Yu: "There will be some changes in the palace in the past few days. There will be more eyes around me. I am afraid there will be more spies in Jiuyun Lane. You can't be discovered for the time being, so you'd better stay in Cao Mansion first." Here, I’ll take you back after a while.”
Xu Yu said respectfully: "Old servant, please listen to His Highness's arrangements."
"Don't call me Your Highness. Let others call me Governor, so as not to be heard and cause trouble to Duke Cao."
"Yes, I understand."
"Are you feeling well?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.
There was warmth in Xu Yu's eyes: "The old slave has low bones and is easy to feed. Cao Gong also ordered doctors to nurse the old slave back to health. It's not a big deal."
Xiao Yan said warmly: "That's good. Just follow Mr. Cao. If you want to find me for anything, follow Mr. Shi to Rongsheng Academy."
"When I settle things in the DPRK, I will definitely look for an opportunity for you to show up openly in front of others and tell the whole story."
Xu Yu nodded: "Okay."
…
It was already late at night when I came out of Cao's house, and the whole capital was extremely quiet under curfew.
Xiao Yan and Tang Ning were sitting in the carriage. The sliver of moonlight shone in through the cracks in the carriage curtains blown by the night wind, and fell on Xiao Yan's eyebrows half hidden in the darkness, softening his originally cold outline, even his usual aloofness. His eyebrows also became gentle.
"Brother, when are we going to see Father and the others?"
Tang Ning said "Father", which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
He pulled her close to him and held her slender hand: "Don't worry, wait until the matters in Beijing are settled."
Seeing Tang Ning looking up at him, Xiao Yan explained: "Just before leaving, Mr. Cao mentioned something about Grand Master Liang. Yesterday Feng Qiuli also sent a message saying that Liang Guangyi was secretly investigating the Xiao family's past. I guess he must have noticed something."
Among the aristocratic families, Lu Chongyuan was the most ambitious and the city government was able to deal ruthlessly. However, Grand Master Liang Guangyi was more cunning. If it weren't for the Liang family, no one would be able to inherit the position of leader of the aristocratic family. In addition, there are all kinds of conflicts between the Lu family and Emperor An. , Lu Chongyuan is too sharp, Liang Guangyi will definitely not choose to support Lu Chongyuan to take his position.
Cui Linkong was ambitious, not very smart, conceited and easily provoked and provoked, so he was repeatedly plotted by Feng Qiuli, but Liang Guangyi was different.
Cao Dejiang just used his hand to stop the Lu family and promote Lu Chongyuan's death. Liang Guangyi sensed something was wrong.
He followed Empress Lu's affairs and knew that Cui Lin was being plotted by someone and that the second and fourth princes had been defeated by him. His various schemes to kill the Lu family also made Liang Guangyi suspicious, so he directly went over "Xiao Yan" to investigate. The history of the Xiao family made it clear that they were as suspicious of his identity as Liu Tongen.
Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed a bit: "The palace banquet is coming soon, there is no room for mistakes, leaving the capital at this time is too conspicuous."
"Furthermore, Liang Guangyi is more troublesome than Liu Tongen. If he really wants to investigate, the Xiao family may not be able to hide it from him. They must 'expose' the He family's affairs before he can find out the Xiao family's past, and push Hate County to The king goes up and forces Emperor An to vindicate the He family."
Those in the Xiao family who faked their own death can only come forward.
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and caressed Tang Ning's cheek: "I also want to show my innocence for my mother and the others, so that the whole world will know what the Song family has done."
Tang Ning lowered her eyelashes lightly and rubbed the side of her face against his palm: "After that, we will go together to worship our father, the queen, mother and concubine, as well as my mother-in-law and father."
"good."
The night breeze was gentle, and the two of them cuddled up against each other in the carriage. Xiao Yan held the little girl in his arms and looked at the night sky outside through the curtains of the carriage.
The father and mother will definitely like this daughter-in-law very much.
Like him just as much...
