A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 340 Forming an Alliance (Part [-])
Qi Wenyan never regarded his niece as an ignorant girl.

Qi Huan suddenly became serious, and he began to feel a little satisfied in his heart.

He took another sip of tea, and said: "There is no need to mention the past, let's just talk about the future. I can probably guess more than eighty percent of the plans of the two big men in the palace. They kept Mrs. Ye , it’s nothing more than realizing the collusion between her and Dacheng, and wanting to use her to lure Yu Wencang, the emperor of Dacheng, into the game.”

Qi Huan immediately thought of the Dacheng spy who died at his hands last month.

But Qi Wenyan was not their accomplice at the time, and the antidote he found after killing the spy was to help her save Yunxi's life.

Qi Huan was also embarrassed to accuse him of disturbing the situation, so he could only say tactfully: "Speaking of the conspiracy between Ye Xunyi and Da Sen, I still owe my third uncle a favor."

She put down the teacup, stood up, and bowed solemnly: "Last time, I thanked my third uncle for finding the antidote, otherwise Yun Xi would most likely die."

The corner of Qi Wenyan's mouth twitched, it was a smile that was not a smile.

He didn't hide his clumsiness, and said bluntly: "The Dacheng royal family has the habit of raising dark guards. You should have heard of it. The dead spy was named Dongfang Mu. He was Yu Wencang's confidant and his previous leader of the dark guards. .”

Although Qi Huan and Gu Zhan guessed through various detailed analysis that it was the Dacheng spy who was dormant beside Ye Xunyi and contacted her, but after all, the two countries were hostile, especially the royal family, and they hid secrets from each other, so they did not treat that person in the same way. The specific positions and surnames of the Dacheng Dynasty were all blurred.

But he didn't expect that Qi Wenyan would know such details.

Surprised, Qi Huan couldn't help holding his breath.

When she looked at Qi Wenyan again, she couldn't help but look more scrutinized and vigilant, and said suspiciously: "This should be regarded as an extremely confidential matter, third uncle... How did you know his identity in detail?"

Could it be that they were forced to ask during the confrontation between the two?
But logically speaking, the secret guards and even those who were born as dead soldiers should prefer death to surrender, and have a very strict tone.

"Is there any absolute secret in this world? As long as I want to know, I will naturally find a way to know." Qi Wenyan naturally would not reveal all his trump cards to her.

Qi Huan is a knowledgeable person, and he doesn't dig deep into other people's secrets, which is also the basic cultivation of being a human being.

"That's true." So, she just nodded and let the matter go.

Qi Wenyan said again: "At that time, I lost my sense of proportion for a while. Although the yamen made up a set of rhetoric afterwards, and the remedy was timely, Yu Wencang should think that you and Gu Zhan killed people to vent their anger in order to get the antidote, but no matter what. , once this incident happened, it was somewhat suspected of alarming the snake. Judging from the time, Yuwen Cangxin's messenger should have sneaked into the capital again, but he has not contacted Mrs. Ye for a long time..."

As he spoke, the corners of his lips raised a playful arc: "It is not the best policy to wait for the storm to rise. Those two in the palace, especially the empress who was born in the general family, would not believe in the rule of inaction. Presumably... …Is there going to be some action in the near future? As it is now, although it has created the illusion that the woman is in control of Prince Ning’s Mansion, it may not be enough to impress Yu Wencang’s ambition.”

He can even grasp things that they don't know, so now he said that he has seen through the empress and the empress, making Ye Xunyi himself and even Yu Wencang's people think that she has got a trick, and has mastered Ning Wangfu and even Concubine Sheng Xian in the palace...

Qi Huan was not surprised at all.

only--

She was ruthlessly startled.

Surprised and happy——

Fortunately, people like Qi Wenyan are friends rather than enemies.

I am even more grateful to Gu Zhan's niece for making a huge sacrifice and feeding a tiger with her body, which has firmly locked her third uncle's position!

Otherwise, if such a person was really conspired by Ye Xunyi back then...

The consequences are simply unimaginable!

Qi Huan had mixed feelings for a moment, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

She said truthfully: "It's true as my third uncle said, although it's not impossible to wait, but it's a long night with many dreams. The plan of the two big figures in the palace is indeed to give a push, so as to strengthen Dacheng's confidence, so that he can take action as soon as possible. .”

She said: "But after King Rui reappeared, I had another idea."

Unexpectedly, Qi Wenyan's eyes became more interesting.

He leaned back in his chair, held a teacup, and put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Qi Huan said: "Although Ye Xunyi has the ability to speak eloquently and fool people, she is a woman after all. From the point of view of you men, you will naturally despise and distrust her. If you put all your energy into making a fuss about her, it's better to change your mind and push Rui Wang out. After all..."

As Qi Huan spoke, his eyes darkened slightly, and his expression became more meaningful: "From Yu Wencang's point of view, King Rui is much more reliable than Ye Xunyi when it comes to picking allies."

The general environment in this world is that men are superior to women. Even Queen Gu's plan of action must first obtain the emperor's royal approval and secret support before she can proceed smoothly. Only Ye Xunyi took the experience of her own death once as a big deal. With her resume and medals, she will think that she is the one who is blessed by nature, who can play with the hearts of the court and subvert the whole world by her own power.

Yu Wencang has been unable to attack Dajin's border for a long time, and it has become a knot in his heart.

Now because he urgently needs a person who exists in the center of the Dajin court to help him cooperate internally and externally, to gnaw this difficult bone, in order to fulfill his ambition to expand the territory, so Ye Xunyi used amazing courage and some cleverness After Xiaoshou hooked up with him, he would of course tell her to make the best use of her, and try to squeeze her use value as much as possible.

However, as a cruel and ambitious emperor, logically speaking, he should be suspicious and seriously ill. From the bottom of his heart, he would not think highly of and trust Ye Xunyi, a backdoor woman.

To choose an ally——

It must be Yun Heng who will make him more excited, and it will be easier to get into the game.

Therefore, when Qi Huan entered the palace early yesterday to meet Queen Gu, he boldly proposed a new plan.

Qi Wenyan looked at his niece and listened to her methodical and generous speech, something in his blood was aroused, faintly agitated.

In the depths of his brows and eyes, he even began to smile a little, and raised his chin at Qi Huan: "Let's listen to the details."

Qi Huan is self-aware and doesn't compete with truly smart people. Now that she has been able to guarantee Qi Wenyan's position, she has told him in detail about her plans and plans that have just taken shape. .

Qi Wenyan is undoubtedly a very good listener, he listened to her without saying a word, and quietly thought about how to digest it completely.

"Understood!" Then, he let out a long breath, put down the bottomless tea bowl, patted his robe and got up.

He walked away.

Before leaving, he turned his head and looked Qi Huan deeply up and down, and said with some regret: "With your scheming, it is your father's loss that you didn't have a son."

Qi Huan: ...

"I don't think so." She didn't like to hear these words, so she mercilessly mumbled back at that time: "My father doesn't have the spirit of the third uncle. Self-knowledge is also a state. He I'm lying flat and rotten, waiting to die, so I'm ashamed to hope that my son will become a dragon, and wait until he's old enough to suck his blood? And... our brother Chen is still young, how can the third uncle assert that he will not be better than me in the future? Smarter?"

Although women's status is low and they are treated more unequally, but being a man is also stressful. Living like Qi Wenjing, isn't it because your wife and children complain about it every day, and you are disgusted to death?

Qi Huan is a very contented person, so she never imagined that an ordinary time-traveling girl could change the big thinking and big pattern of the whole era.

Let the real great men do what promotes the process of history.

As an ordinary person, as long as you keep silent, restrain your three views and virtues, and don't hold back.

It's not that Qi Wenyan can't feel that she usually deliberately pretends to be good and restrained in front of him, but at this moment she mutters back, she looks like a normal little girl with personality and temper.

He couldn't help laughing, so he still scolded her: "Then you should also be lucky to have a good-tempered father. With your rebellious temper, big or small, if you change to someone else's house, you might have to fight every day!"

Qi Wenjing and his wife have raised this daughter in a disgraceful way. Although Qi Wenyan thinks it is harmless, it is not up to the mainstream judgment standard after all.

The main reason is that the Yang family doted on the children too much, and Qi Wenjing felt ashamed of the three of them, the mother and the son, so he let it go, thinking that everything would be fine.

Qi Huan curled her lips and did not refute, because she had always admitted that her second reincarnation was a good one.

"Remember to pass the message and ask your father to find me the book I want." Qi Wenyan was not interested in bickering with the little girl, and finally put down the words and walked out again.

By the way, she left behind all the reasons for her to prevaricate Qi Wenjing and the rest of the Qi family.

"Hey, and..." Qi Huan came back to his senses, remembered an old incident, and couldn't help but took a step forward.

Qi Wenyan's patience today was surprisingly good, he stopped and turned around again, and gave him a questioning look.

"Third Uncle." Qi Huan hesitated slightly, and finally met his gaze directly, and said bluntly, "Yang Chenglian's younger sister, Yang Chenshi, was also your hand for me, right?"

Qi Wenyan raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't feel that he had done anything worth making a fuss about.

On Qi Huan's face, there was a bit of entanglement instead: "It's all my uncle's family's private matter. Strictly speaking, it doesn't even have much to do with my mother. Even if I mishandle it, it will not be good for our Changning Hou Mansion." It won't have any impact. Now it's thanks to your help, so I owe you a lot of favors."

Seeing that Qi Wenyan never denied it, Qi Huan knew that Gu Zhan's deduction was correct——

Yang Chen's mouth was indeed sealed by him.

Because Gu Zhan owed him a favor by borrowing Yang Yuting's file from him, so after they found out the details of Yang Chenglian's family, he reciprocated and told Qi Wenyan the truth.

After Yang Chen's accident, the two of them were puzzled, except for them, Yang and Yang Qingyun's family, who else would know the inside story, and in a hurry, they went to attack Yang Chen and did good deeds without leaving a name .

In the end, the person who could be anxious about what they were anxious about didn't figure it out, and the target could only be locked on her third uncle who was also an insider.

Gu Zhan said that he could go to Qi Wenyan to confirm it face to face. It was Qi Huan who felt that since he deliberately did this without telling them, and it was such an "evil thing" of black hands, he definitely didn't want to publicize it.

So things were put on hold.

Qi Huan mentioned it now because after a heart-to-heart discussion today, she can confirm that Qi Wenyan and them are allies in the same boat.

and……

I always feel uncomfortable when I owe a favor, no matter whether I pay it back or not, it will feel better if I say it.

A smile appeared on the corner of Qi Huan's lips: "So, I want to confirm in person and ask clearly."

Qi Wenyan's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "Back then your uncle's case was hastily settled and it was decided to be an unjust, false or wrongly decided case. It was regarded as the negligence of Dali Temple's responsibilities. Now that there is no possibility of overturning the case, it is considered that I am in place. Give me some compensation for the old case."

Found this reason...

It's very smart!
It was an old case fifteen or sixteen years ago. Even if the Dali Temple deliberately ignored the evidence during the review and decided an unjust, false or wrongly decided case, it would have nothing to do with him.

and--

Throughout the ages, I have never heard of any official who would cheat on behalf of the victim's family to fulfill their vows.

He was clearly looking at the family's face, and he thought that she and Gu Zhan were two young people who would not be considerate if they were not ruthless enough, so he deliberately took an extra step for them.

Although doing this kind of murder and arson, Qi Huan privately thinks that her third uncle must be doing something to satisfy his own evil taste...

But no matter what, she has to appreciate it.

Because although she soon thought of Yang Chen's omissions and prepared to make up for it, she was a step too late, and she really owed this favor.

Qi Huan showed his true feelings for a moment, and just wanted to say a few more words of gratitude, but he didn't want Qi Wenyan's words to fall, and then changed the topic again, and pondered again: "But you can remember it as a favor, after all, this matter It’s not part of my duty.”

Qi Huan: ...

White was moved!

The next moment, all her emotions were choked back, and she looked at Qi Wenyan's master and servant with a choked expression on her face and walked away.

Feng Lin, who listened to the whole conversation outside the door, didn't know what was going on, and looked back at Qi Huan several times while leaving.

Qi Huan waited for them to go out of the yard, and then he cleaned up the teacups on the table, put them on the tray and handed them to Xing Luo, and the master and servant also closed the door and left Qi Wenjing's study.

Back in the backyard, Mrs. Yang had already packed up the books and calculations, and even took away Qi Yuanchen's handicrafts for practicing calligraphy, and prevented him from reading and writing under the lamp, so as not to hurt his eyes if he didn't grasp the propriety at a young age.

"Your third uncle has gone back?" Sitting under the lamp, Yang asked casually.

Qi Wenyan doesn't have a good relationship with his family, so it's best not to say anything about keeping him at home for dinner.

"Yeah." Qi Huan entered the room, took off his fur coat, sat down next to the brazier and stretched out his hands to warm the fire, and made up nonsense to perfuse her without waiting for Yang Shi to ask, "I said he couldn't have come to borrow books. As a young man, I asked my girls what they like. He asked me how do I know? Everyone has different preferences, not to mention that his daughter-in-law is not looking for ordinary people, how can I know what to give to her? Wan Once delivered by mistake... Isn't he embarrassing others?"

Qi Wenyan is such a big man who hasn't been enlightened for the past [-] years, and he is also cold-tempered. Thinking about it, Yang thought it was the first time he was with a little girl, and he would be nervous and at a loss to ask his daughter about it. It's not outrageous, so I believe it to be true.

Hearing that Qi Huan didn't hold the door, instead he warned her: "He is your third uncle, be careful what you say, don't be too big or small."

"Didn't I try to coax him away by saying good things?" Qi Huan said, then looked back at the sky outside, and changed the topic logically: "Are you still eating?"

Mrs. Yang sat on one side, putting away Qi Yuanchen's clothes, and said with a smile, "Wait a while. The news about your third uncle is destined to spread today, and your father should come here after he leaves the yamen."

Qi Huan wasn't hungry yet, so he shrugged and didn't care.

But here at the gate, Qi Wenyan's master and servant did not meet Qi Wenjing, but met the old man Qi Zhengyu who had returned home early as soon as he left the gate.

The father and son faced each other, and when their gazes collided, Feng Lin felt his scalp go numb.
