Chapter 499 Three things about Wei Shaoqi

"Miss Qin, can...can you take a rest?"

"Can you do it?"

"Okay, of course, why not!"

Outside Xunyang City, in a dense forest, a group of knights were flying through the forest like sharp arrows.

Running at the front was a slightly fat woman. She did not wear a blue robe today, but wore a Hu suit and high boots. She looked very heroic.

Behind her, Wei Shaoqi, who was following closely, was lying on a sweaty horse with his upper body, lowering the wind resistance while talking loudly to the woman chasing the wind and hunting in front of her.

Qin Ying said without looking back:

"Mr. Wei, if that doesn't work, just dismount. There's no need to follow. Go to the carriage and wait. Don't hold on."

Wei Shaoqi was sweating, but with a bright smile on his face, he waved his hands very nonchalantly:
"Hahaha, Miss Qin is joking. Of course I can do it. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just a little worried about Miss Qin. You are a woman. You have been riding a horse for so long, and you are still shooting bows and arrows on horseback. Don't be exhausted. body."

He then asked with a concerned look on his face:

"By the way, are you hungry, Miss Qin? I asked my subordinates to bring some delicacies from Xunyang Tower. Why don't we go over and eat some to fill our stomachs?"

"Didn't you have breakfast before leaving the city? Why are you hungry again? If you are hungry, go ahead and eat. I'm not hungry. I haven't finished my run yet."

"I didn't have all the fun, haha, let's go together."

"is it?"

Qin Ying squinted: "Why are I trembling when I hear your voice?"

Wei Shaoqi immediately said: "It's cold, it's cold, the breeze is quite cool, haha."

Qin Ying shook her head:
"If you really can't do it, just take a break. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You haven't ridden a horse for a long time. If you rode with me so fast for so long today, you will have to lie down tiredly when you go back in the evening. When you get up tomorrow, your butt will definitely be sore. Don't say anything. I couldn’t get out of bed for half a month.”

Wei Shaoqi's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but ask:
"Is...is it that serious?"

Qin Ying pouted:
"There are lessons to be learned."

I don’t know who I’m talking about.

Wei Shaoqi understood instantly, and he suddenly felt sympathy for a certain young man named Li who was poaching his cousin.

Serving such a master is really hard work.

"Hey, there's a hare, where can it run away!"

Wei Shaoqi heard a surprised sound from the sassy female knight in Hu clothes in front of him. She immediately reined in her horse and stopped, drew her bow and shot an arrow.

Ten breaths later, a hare with an arrow stuck in its body was thrown into his arms.

"Take it."

"Good good."

Qin Ying threw it casually, and Wei Shaoqi quickly caught it.

The accompanying guards had long been left far behind by the two of them. It was not clear whether it was because of their poor riding skills or because of their poor eyesight.

Wei Shaoqi gave them a thumbs up in his heart, feeling that he had not given so many rewards in vain in the past.

Qin Ying didn't pay attention to these details. She sat on the horse and looked around, looking for prey and direction again.

Wei Shaoqi calmly praised:
"Well, I am indeed no match for Miss Qin. Miss Qin is truly a hero among women. She deserves to be a general and can surpass others with every step she takes.

"Haha, it seems that I don't need to take action. I can just follow Miss Qin to pick up the loot."

Qin Ying did not look at the elegant and gentle smile on the face of the young man behind him, and waved her hand:
"What am I doing now? I have never seen Sister Xie's riding and shooting skills. She is better than me."

Wei Shaoqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Qin and the daughter-in-law of the Xie family in Chen County, do they get close to each other on weekdays?"

Qin Ying didn't answer. He looked around, his eyes lit up, he found a new prey, he shook the reins, and with a "drive" sound, he rushed out like an arrow from a string.

Wei Shaoqi had no choice but to move his buttocks to make his sitting position more comfortable, and followed him obediently.

He followed Qin Ying and helped her spend her money.

Wei Shaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy that he didn't have to shoot arrows or follow behind to laze around. He could just raise his hand to catch the carcasses of prey thrown by her from time to time. Haha, he could do it with his eyes closed.

He secretly thought.

Until a carefree and fat female knight threw a hedgehog casually.

"what--!"

"..." Qin Ying.

……

Outside the city, on the banks of the Xunyang River, outside a certain maple forest hunting ground known for its wide variety of prey.

An extremely luxurious carriage stopped.

The carriage was surrounded by Xianbei guards with crotch knives standing under strict guard. The guards were all patrolling with serious faces.

From the carriage they were guarding in the middle, there was a sound of gasping for air from time to time.

"Take it easy for me!"

"Yes, yes, Third Young Master."

There were two people sitting in the car. Wang Lengran was nodding hurriedly and bandaging the bleeding wound on the palm of Wei Shaoqi in the seat opposite.

At this moment, Wei Shaoqi was sitting on a chair with a gloomy look on his face, his face uncertain.

Wang Lengran asked cautiously:

"Third Young Master, won't you continue to accompany Miss Qin?"

"Why don't you go to accompany your mother? Whoever wants to serve will be served! What bad luck!"

Wei Shaoqi cursed and his chest heaved for a while.

Wang Lengran shrank his head.

After a while, the heaving chest calmed down a bit. Wei Shaoqi frowned and waved his hand:
"Forget it, let's wait for her outside and don't go in."

"Huh." After saying that, he sighed.

Wang Lengran quietly looked at Wei Shaoqi's face.

If the master can make this master feel weak and scolded, and can't pretend anymore, that little lady Qin is not easy either.

He lowered his voice and persuaded:
"Third Young Master, the overall situation is more important."

"Of course I know that the overall situation is more important! Do you want you to teach me?"

"Third Young Master, slow down, pay attention to the wound... pay attention to the wound..."

After a while of busy work, the car finally settled down, and the wound on Wei Shaoqi's hand was bandaged.

He squinted and looked straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wei Shaoqi suddenly said:
"Forget it, who told her that the Qin family is now very popular? Her grandfather Qin Jingqin is now the most powerful general in the Zhou Dynasty who leads troops abroad, and the military merits of Li Zhengyan's rebellion in the southwest will most likely fall to Qin Jingqin. In my hands, eh, it’s really a trick of fate.”

His tone became more and more unhappy, and he turned to Wang Lengran and yelled:

"Why didn't you keep an eye on Zhu Lingxu and his son, and made them stupid? Do you know how passive this matter made my father and our Wei family in the court? If it weren't for your hard work, father The king has already peeled off your skin."

Wang Lengran said with a bitter face:

"Third Young Master, who knew that the enemy was so cunning and unpredictable. Even though I'm in such a lowly position, I still haven't figured out the cause and effect..."

"The verdict must be reversed this time!"

Wei Shaoqi suddenly said decisively:

"Even if we can't overturn all the cases, we must at least find evidence that Zhu Lingxu and his son have no objections, so that the grudge in His Majesty's heart can be eliminated.

"In short, Your Majesty, we, the Wei family, cannot be allowed to take the blame anymore. The rebellion in Yingzhou almost cut off our father's path to the throne.

"I finally looked forward to two good opportunities to gain great achievements, namely the rebellion of Songde Tianshu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the rebellion of Li Zhengyan, but they all came to nothing.

"Without the cauldron sword of the sixth brother, even if the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu was built, it would be greatly reduced if presented to His Majesty. There is nothing more symbolic than the cauldron sword... Your Majesty has long been tired of seeing some ordinary auspiciousness. "

Wang Lengran did not dare to say a word and lowered his head to listen silently. Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes and said in a hateful tone:
"The same thing happened to the General Manager of Jiangzhou Road Marching. My father was implicated by Zhu Lingxu and his son, which not only left a bad impression on His Majesty as someone who didn't know people, but also actually lost a huge amount of military merit, and took advantage of the Qin family in vain.

"Hey, if that wasn't the case, why would I come here to serve this fat lady with such humility?
"Tell me, how come we, the Wei family, have been giving dowries to others in the past two years? What went wrong? Is there someone secretly working against me to ruin my Wei family's luck?"

Hearing Wei Shaoqi's complaints and names, Wang Lengran pretended not to hear and lowered his head even more.

"Now my father can only find a way to compromise, let me bring Qiniang to Xunyang City, first strive for marriage with the Qin family, and then assist Rong Zhen and Lin Cheng to investigate the case and clarify the misunderstanding between Zhu Lingxu and his son... …”

Wei Shaoqi turned his head, stared at Wang Lengran, and said word by word:

“So, this time, my father has given me the full authority to send my son to Jiangzhou for these three things!

"Reversal of the verdict and marriage... are the top priority of this trip. Any human and material resources needed can be reported and mobilized... But if it fails, not only will it be difficult for me to do business, Wang Lengran, you will also be unable to live without it."

"Yes, Third Young Master, I understand your humble position."

Wang Lengran nodded vigorously. After a while, he reacted, frowned, lowered his head, and raised two fingers.

"Wait a minute, Third Young Master, are you talking about three things? Aren't they two things? Your marriage to the Qin family, and the reversal of the case of urging Zhu Lingxu and his son to rebel. Aren't these two things? Isn't the humble position omitted? What?"

he asked curiously.

Wei Shaoqi twitched the corners of his mouth and looked away.

Seeing that Young Master Wei San in front of him had no intention of speaking, Wang Lengran did not dare to ask more questions.

Immediately, he remembered something again and asked softly:

"Third Young Master, regarding the matter of overturning the case, Rong Zhen seems to have a good relationship with Ouyang Lianghan. Last time we discussed the matter, we brought him here unnecessarily. Isn't it unsafe to place the heavy responsibility of overturning the case on her? By the way, And that Lin Cheng..."

Wei Shaoqi glanced at Wang Lengran:
"In the past, I might have been worried, but now...

"It can be seen that Rong Zhen now hates the owner of Die Lianhua who pretended to be the sixth brother, and also caused Si Tianjian to lose his troops. Ha, both public and private, Rong Zhen and Lin Cheng may want to catch him more than us. This thief.

"Don't worry. Besides, I know Rong Zhen's temperament better than you. We don't need to worry about the investigation. They will definitely do their best.

"Besides..."

Wei Shaoqi glanced at Wang Lengran, and his tone was somewhat meaningful:

"This time, my father presided over the construction of the Sifang Buddha. The one in Guizhou has been stranded, so let's not count it. Now, there are only three positions and three peaches left in Jiangzhou, Yangzhou and Taiyuan.

"Wang Lengran, do you think that with Rong Zhen's arrogant temper, she was specially sent to Jiangzhou and stationed there, so that she could be responsible for supervising the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha...she could unquestionably pick three of the peaches? A share of..."

"I don't know my humble... humble position. Please tell me clearly, Third Young Master."

Wei Shaoqi's tone was somewhat emotional: "Did you know that even Lin Cheng, who is Xia Guan Lingtai Lang, is envious of such a good opportunity and good job to come to Jiangzhou to monitor the Giant Buddha...

"Your Majesty is right to favor Rong Zhen. He sent her to Jiangzhou early, but Miaozhen came earlier than her. Now, shouldn't Miaozhen just get out of the way and go to the front line to supervise the battle? Give up her position Left to Rong Zhen.

"This is not luck. Without the nod from her father, who is the governor-general of Tianshu, Rong Zhen would not be able to stay in Jiangzhou for a long time and guard this good opportunity of Donglin Giant Buddha. After all, among the Qi practitioners inside and outside the palace, , I don’t know how many people are staring at these three giant Buddhas that are about to be completed... Once the giant Buddhas are completed, the Yin Yang family’s Qi practitioners will be responsible for supervising the construction... Ha."

Wang Lengran's eyes widened slightly:

"I see. So, this female historian actually owes the prince a favor..."

Wei Shaoqi's eyes were meaningful and he asked:
"Ow? Haha, with her temperament, she definitely doesn't appreciate it... But... there are some things in this world that you can't control. Just like my father, knowing that she doesn't appreciate it, he has to nod. "

Having said this, Wei Shaoqi shook his head and said no more.

Wang Lengran looked curious, but it was inconvenient to ask again.

Wei Shaoqi looked down at his bandaged palm, which still had a small amount of blood oozing out from it, and his expression calmed down.

Wang Lengran was silent for a while, then asked again in a low voice:
"Third Young Master, despite your humble position, you are still curious. When Li Li took people to Dagushan, what happened on the mountain that night? No one came back?"

Wei Shaoqi lowered his eyes;
"Actually, it doesn't mean that none of them came back, only one came back."

"Is there anyone alive? Who is it?"

"It was the monk who was born in the Xuankong Temple. Our people only discovered it after the fact, but he was no different from dead. Now he is in the Xuankong Temple as a prison, practicing some bullshit Buddhism, and has become mute and deaf.

"Our royal palace came out to find someone, but Xuankong Temple refused to make friends with him. He said that any monk who practices closed mouth Zen would be protected by the Patriarch Hall without being disturbed throughout his life. My father's client came to the temple to see him, and the bald donkey didn't know anything about it. …These bald donkeys really deserve to die!”

Wang Lengran was surprised: "Why is this? What has he experienced?"

Wei Shaoqi shook his head, and then said with a serious face:

"The owner of Dielianhua is definitely not simple. Not only does he have the tripod sword and the Taoist lineage of the person holding the sword, he may also have some other means to confuse people's hearts and confuse people..."

Wang Lengran nodded slowly, digested it for a while, then frowned and asked:

"Third Young Master, when we returned to Yunshui Pavilion last time, Prince Xunyang's troubling incident with Princess Anhui, is this the end of it? Let's not teach him a lesson..."

"Shut up and don't mention it again!" Wei Shaoqi scolded.

"Yes Yes!"

Wei Shaoqi was silent for a while and said unhappily;

"My father promised Wang Shuliang that he would leave Prince Xunyang's Mansion alone and discuss it later, so let's not touch them for the time being and let them survive for a while."

"Sir, why does His Highness Prince Liang want to speak to Prince Xunyang's Mansion?"

Wang Lengran shut up immediately when he was halfway through speaking.

Shaoqing asked cautiously:
"Third Young Master, is the rumor true? His Highness Prince Wei and His Highness Prince Liang have differences..."

Wei Shaoqi's eyes were stern: "This is not your business, just do what you should do."

Wang Lengran lowered his head and said yes.

It is rumored that there seems to be a disagreement between His Royal Highness King Wei and His Highness Prince Liang recently because of the Liwei dispute. Now the Wei family is vaguely divided into two factions. Although the differences are not serious, it still makes many Wei family centrists wait and see...

Wei Shaoqi warned again:
"Don't worry about Prince Xunyang's palace for now. If it's a dead end like the last time, don't worry about it for now."

"Yes, son."

Wang Lengran responded.

Wei Shaoqi glanced at Wang Lengran who was honest and didn't ask any questions.

He frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, one day, he, the Wei family, would show mercy to King Xunyang's lineage and protect them.

This is actually what His Royal Highness Wang Shuliang meant.

At present, the opinions within the Wei family are not unified. My father wants to be the emperor's heir. His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, may understand His Majesty's thoughts better.

Moreover, in the Liwei dispute, the Wei family won, and it must have been because the elder brother, King Wei, became the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, King Liang is more conservative and will calculate in advance the options in case of failure...

Thinking of this, Wei Shaoqi clenched his fists, and the cloth covering the wound on his palm began to seep out a wider area of ​​blood.

He felt a little irritable for no reason.

It's all to blame for the loss of Wei Shaoxuan and the tripod sword, as well as the unjust case of Zhu Lingxu and his son! Not only did the plan of the Wei Palace fail, but it also affected the prestige of his father. He was a little unable to suppress the people below, and Wang Shuliang also had some conservative thoughts.

After a while, Wei Shaoqi raised his head and said:
"Remember, although you can't touch them, you can't sit back and watch this family grow, especially Ouyang Lianghan. You have to find a way to suppress it.

"A Prince Xunyang's Mansion that is neither strong nor weak and locked up in Jiangzhou is in our best interest."

Wang Lengran suddenly realized: "Yes, the young master is wise!"

Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

During this trip to Jiangzhou, he came to see it personally. Although it was not obvious in Luoyang, on Jiangnan Road, the power of Prince Xunyang's Palace was too great.

It just started at the end of last year, and within a year now, it has grown rapidly with Xunyang City as its foundation.

Especially Ouyang Lianghan, who walked in front of the stage, was regarded as the spokesperson of Xunyang Prince's Palace and radiated influence.

Not only was he fully responsible for the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha, he also won the favor of Qin Jingqin, and had a good relationship with Rong Zhen. The latest envoy Khu Fu seemed to be vaguely helping him to speak, and he was flirting...

Wang Lengran, his immediate boss, couldn't suppress him anymore.

Wei Shaoqi suddenly sighed:
"There are no tigers in the mountains. Monkeys rule the roost."
