After listening to the report, the queen mother angrily waved away the teacup beside her hand, and said angrily, "It's fine that Zihan is ignorant, why is Rong Yi so ignorant? Are the two brothers tired of their jobs?!"

The person who came to deliver the message knelt on the ground and bowed his head, not daring to express any opinions.

Seeing this, the queen mother took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and continued to ask: "What else did the two of them say?"

The man replied: "I didn't say anything else, just said that I want to chat with the third son of the Wu family."

The queen mother frowned slightly, and waved her hand to signal the man to go down.

After the man left, the Empress Dowager looked at Nanny Yang beside her and said, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to send a message that the Ai family wants to play chess with Xuan Li."

He wants to beat his nephew.

-

Prime Minister's House.

Wu Xuanli was reading a book at home, but suddenly received invitations from two parties.

One side is the King of Xiang and the other side is the Queen Mother.

Seeing this, Xiao Dezi asked, "My lord, did the villain go back to His Highness King Xiang?"

The king of Xiang and the queen mother invited him together, so obviously they should go to the queen mother first.

But Wu Xuanli said, "No, tell the people in the palace that my son is not in the house." He wants to see King Xiang first.

Xiao Dezi was a little worried: "This...isn't appropriate?"

Wu Xuanli smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother, but I can still meet the King of Xiang. If I meet the Queen Mother first and then the King of Xiang, then it is really inappropriate."

Xiao Dezi could not understand Wu Xuanli's words, but this did not prevent him from following orders.

……

An hour later, Qingming Tea House.

When Wu Xuanli came to the Qingming teahouse, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Frost Yuanxing actually chose such a far place, and he traveled in a carriage for nearly an hour.

This teahouse is located at Sanchakou outside the city. It is mainly for passers-by to rest their feet, and few people come here on weekdays.

It is indeed a good place to talk.

Wu Xuanli was about to ask Xiao Dezi to push him in, when he saw Xiang Wang Shuang Yuanxing and Qin Wang Shuang Feichen coming out to greet him.

Wu Xuanli raised his eyebrows slightly, slightly surprised.

Surprisingly, he didn't meet King Qin here.

To his surprise, King Qin went out to greet him.

Seeing him in a daze, Shuang Feichen spoke first, "It's a remote place, it's really hard work for the third son. But the tea here is very good, I believe the trip will be worthwhile for the third son."

Wu Xuanli came back to his senses, and hastily cupped his hands in salute: "Please refer to His Royal Highness King Qin for humble positions, and see His Royal Highness King Xiang."

Shuang Yuanxing laughed and said: "Brother Xuan Li, don't be too polite, let's go in and talk!"

A group of three people came to the teahouse lobby, because Wu Xuanli was inconvenient to go upstairs, so they sat down on the first floor.

After serving the tea and snacks, the waiter in the teahouse left the hall wisely and closed the door, apparently guarding outside.

Wu Xuanli turned his head to look at the second child, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qin really knows how to use people well."

Although this teahouse is small, it is a fortress in and out of the capital. Although the waiter in the shop is inconspicuous, he is very discerning.

A smart second brother, a small teahouse where people come and go, isn't it the best partner to collect information.

Shuang Feichen curled his lips into a smile: "Third Young Master, you are indeed a smart man."

Wu Xuanli was startled for a moment, then smiled, His Royal Highness King Qin really didn't meander when he spoke.

Confess your own ability, but also point out the opponent's ability.

Wu Xuanli thought for a while, and simply asked directly: "I don't know what is the point of looking for a lowly position as a prince? If it is for General Wen's affairs, then what the lowly level said and can do has already been said and done. Others It’s really heartless.”

Shuang Feichen shook his head and said, "No, on General Wen's side, the king has already sent someone to report urgently. I believe that General Wen will naturally be on guard after receiving the news. I'm looking for the third son today for another matter. thing."

Wu Xuanli was slightly taken aback, as if he was a little surprised.

Shuang Yuanxing on the side couldn't wait to answer: "When Zhuyao and Tuobafeng hijacked the father, they asked a person named Bi Fang, do you still remember?"

Wu Xuanli nodded and said: "Of course I remember, but I don't know Bi Fang, and I have never seen him before."

Shuang Yuanxing continued: "What we want to ask is not Bi Fang, but Feng Lingyue, the former inspector who Bi Fang tried to rescue."

Whoa!

Wu Xuanli's hand trembled subconsciously, and a few drops of tea spilled out of the cup and landed on the back of his hand.

The tea was still steaming, instantly burning his hands red, but he just put down the teacup as if he had no intuition, and then smiled shyly, "Sorry, I'm sorry for my lowly position."

How could you be rude if you didn't throw the cup out after your hands were scalded?
But hearing Feng Lingyue's name, but losing his composure like this, there must be a reason for this.

Shuang Feichen raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that the third son really recognizes Feng Lingyue."

Wu Xuanli smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang was joking, when Feng Lingyue was beheaded by the decree, it was 35 years ago, and I was not born at that time, how could I recognize it?"

"You don't know him, so where is your father?" Shuang Yuanxing asked impatiently.

Wu Xuanli was silent for a while, depending on his choice of words, he finally spoke after a long time: "My father did know Master Feng, but we are officials in the same dynasty, so it is normal for us to know each other. Knowing does not mean understanding, are you right, Xiang?" His Royal Highness."

Shuang Yuanxing pursed his lips, feeling that Wu Xuanli was going around in circles with him.

Seeing the impatient look on Shuang Yuanxing's face, Shuang Feichen thought for a while, and said, "Third Young Master, you don't need to be so on guard. This King is just curious about Feng Lingyue. If Third Young Master is inconvenient to say it, then it's fine."

Wu Xuanli curled his lips into a smile, can't you tell me?
If he agrees with Xiashuang's statement that he is not a minister, wouldn't it mean admitting in disguise that their prime minister's residence and Feng Lingyue are acquainted?

Wu Xuanli shook his head and said: "It's not convenient to say, but I really don't know."

Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing looked at each other, feeling that Wu Xuanli was a little too cautious and difficult to deal with.

Just when the two brothers thought that if they met today, they would return in vain.

Wu Xuanli suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The two lords have learned a lot. The humble official's understanding of Feng Lingyue is all hearsay and not reliable. I believe the two lords can find out these news in the market. It really can't help you. I'm busy, but I know someone in this position, and he may be able to provide some useful information to you two."

"Who is it?" Shuang Yuanxing asked impatiently.

Wu Xuanli picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but did not respond immediately.

Shuang Feichen comprehended, and hurriedly said: "Whatever is the third young master's request, feel free to ask. If this king can do it, I will never refuse."

Never refuse?

Wu Xuanli looked up at Shuang Feichen, he wanted to say: "I want Wen Moyan!"

However, he held back his words after all, because he knew that Shuang Feichen would not agree to this request, and it might even cause Wen Moyan to be hated by Shuang Feichen.

Wu Xuanli thought for a while and said: "I heard that the genius doctor Gu has an ointment called dragon bone chalcedony ointment, which has the miraculous effect of breaking tendons and bones."
