Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2201 Practice Banquet 14.0

Hei Lu'er came alone, and his whole body was covered in a dark cloak, which was said to be in order not to attract attention.

"Where are Brother Zhen and Shopkeeper He?" After Hei Luer sat down and Master Jia went out to prepare the dishes, Shen Cha asked, "Didn't you invite them to come together?"

"They said they would stop bothering me. Brother Zhen and I are leaving together tomorrow morning. The shopkeeper and I have prepared some medicinal materials for my adoptive father and uncle, and asked Brother Zhen to take them back. They are packing this now!"

"What's wrong with the two uncles?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Are they sick or have something wrong with their health? Have you seen the doctor?"

"No, no!" Hei Lu'er waved his hand, "It's just some daily preparations. Because the place we live is not very close to the town, it is inconvenient to buy anything. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, you should buy more preparations. "

"That's true." Shen Cha glanced at Jin Miaomiao and raised an eyebrow at her.

Jin Miaomiao received the signal sent by Shen Cha, smiled at Hei Luer, and said, "If it is inconvenient to buy things, you really need to prepare more medicinal materials. After all, the two princes are not young anymore. , the people around me are not good either. Occasionally I have a headache or fever, and when the doctor is inconvenient, I can prescribe medicine for myself." She thought for a while, "If the black commander can trust me, I have a way to save Brother Zhen from taking it. After all, it’s quite eye-catching to transport so many medicinal materials, isn’t it?”

"Believe it, of course I believe it." Hei Lu'er nodded towards Jin Miaomiao, "Does Mr. Jin have any good ideas?"

"When I give you an order, take it to the Jishengtang on the corner of West Street. There are ready-made pills for sale. It's hard to say anything else. There are still pills for some common diseases. Give them the order. , they will help prepare everything. Each pill has detailed instructions, so don’t worry about not understanding it.”

"There is such a good thing?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao nod slightly, Hei Lu'er thought for a while, "Then I'm not polite, it's just..."

"As long as you have enough money, Commander Black can naturally have it." Jin Miaomiao smiled faintly, "As for business, you don't do business with anyone, right?"

"Master Jin is right. Since we are buying medicinal materials, we naturally have to take care of our own business." Hei Lu'er picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He sighed softly. He put the tea cup on the table and raised his eyes. Seeing everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his face and said, "You are looking at me like this, is there something on my face?"

"Commander Hei has nothing on his face, but he looks worried. Why is he unhappy when he goes back?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Is it related to what Second Master Jiang said? Do you need our help?"

"It has nothing to do with Mr. Jiang. He just asked us to give a letter to our adoptive father and uncle. There is nothing else." Hei Luer thought for a while, sighed softly, and said, "The main thing is that I am worried. Yi Qingfu and Wanyan Qingmu.”

"Is there any new news?"

"No, but based on my understanding of Wanyan Qingmu, I will never believe that he died like this. I believe that the young master, the Duke and the Marquis also think so, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Hei Luer continued, "To be honest, we speculated that the company camp outside Yiqing Mansion might be disintegrated due to this incident. But then I went back and thought about it, and it seemed unlikely."

"why?"

"In fact, there are not many people in Yiting and Yitong. They only have two thousand people. They burned the company camp and retreated to the mountains. It has no special impact on the overall situation. Moreover, since Wanyan Qingmu angered them, they If they were to be burned, they would only burn those who had a closer relationship with Wanyan Qingmu. In their opinion, those who were most closely involved with Wanyan Qingmu were those who fished in troubled waters and those like them who had to temporarily leave the city with Wanyan Qingmu for other purposes. "Yes, they won't move." "How can they tell the difference?"

"There are clear lines between the different camps, and there is not much contact between them. This is why I was able to leave the city smoothly." Hei Lu'er smiled bitterly and said, "Although their siege of the city seems to be huge, they are also Well, we all know very well that without an opportunity, there will be no fight. Even if a fight breaks out, how many people will really contribute and help Wanyan Qingmu during the fight? Seizing that throne is also unknown.”

"There are actually people who are hesitant about the power of the dragon?"

"Everyone naturally has their own considerations. Whether to follow the power of the dragon or to become a king on his own, you have to make a careful calculation, right?" Hei Lu'er sighed, "In these years, the Wanyan family has occupied the palace, However, many of their decisions and actions did not convince the public, especially after Wanyan Zongcheng, which made many nobles very dissatisfied. They even discussed whether Wanyan was still suitable to be the leader of this country. "

"Wanyan Zongcheng is unpopular. Wanyanxi once mentioned it, but since he is dissatisfied, why not resist?" Shen Cha looked at Hei Lu'er in confusion, "If the leaders do not have military power, then still It’s understandable, but everyone, including the Hei family, has a lot of private soldiers in their hands. It’s easy to resist Wanyan Zongcheng, right?”

"My young master, you don't know how sinister Wanyan Zongcheng is. Although I don't have the energy, I heard the old man from the Hei family mentioned that what Wanyan Zongcheng did is really outrageous."

"What has he done?"

"His accession to the throne was unfair. Not only the Jin Kingdom, but probably everyone in the world knows it, but what you don't know is that after he got the throne, he forcibly snatched the women and children of respectable families in Yiqing Mansion into the palace. Beautiful It is said to be a reading companion and playmate for his children, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are hostages. If anyone dares to object or resist, his children and women will never come back. Therefore, even if there are private soldiers. With it in hand, they don’t dare to act rashly.”

"This move is indeed cruel enough, but what happens next?"

"After he became the Golden King, almost a year passed before these women and children returned home one after another. But they returned home, but they all had some problems more or less."

"Situation? How to say?"

"I don't know much about other people's families, but I know that my nominal brother and younger brother have been poisoned. They must take the pills given by the palace every ten days, otherwise, their meridians will burst and die. But the palace The pills are not easily given. It depends on the performance of each family head. If there is anyone who disobeys Wanyan Zongcheng, then the family members of these disobedient people will..." Hei Lu'er sneered, "It's been like this for two years. After a lot of time, Wanyan Ping finally couldn't stand it anymore and had a big fight with Wanyan Zongcheng, taking it upon herself to get rid of the poisonous insects. "

"Buy people's hearts?"

"Probably!" Hei Lu'er sighed, "It's just that the gap between Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping has been created since then, and the cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and there is no possibility of repairing them."

His ears moved, and when he heard footsteps coming from outside, he made a silent gesture.
