I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 40 The county lord is willing to be a concubine, so I can also hire and marry

in the study.

Wei Mingji was sitting in front of the desk in a wedding gown, and sitting opposite was a bright and delicate woman.

This woman's eyes are like water, her face is red, her hair is like a waterfall, and she doesn't wear any hair accessories. Under the goose-yellow tulle, there is a slender waist that can be grasped, which is extremely graceful.There was a trace of cunning in his eyes, and he looked at Wei Mingji squarely.

"Your father tried every means to send you here, just to let you tell me this? It seems that the typhoid fever of the county magistrate recovered too quickly."

Wei Mingji secretly rubbed his fingers, staring blankly at Chen Xinan opposite.

Chen Xinan's red lips smiled faintly, and lightly parted his lips: "General Wei doesn't need to threaten me, if we are not fully sure, we will not take this step."

"My father sincerely wants to make friends with the general. It doesn't matter if the general looks down on me. My father is still willing to help General Wei with all his strength. His Majesty assigned the Yangzhai army to the jurisdiction of Shangdu, no doubt because he didn't want my father to go too far. It’s all about power, my father has never coveted Yangdi’s army.”

"The Yangzhai army was once the Chu Jia of General Zhao Jue of Yingchuan. During the Yingchuan Rebellion, General Zhao Jue's family died in battle, and the Yangzhai army was unmanned and returned to the court. It was not until five years ago that it became the division of Shangdufu. .”

Wei Mingji was unsmiling, and said coldly: "Xinan County Lord knows a lot, your father must have told you."

Full of confidence, Chen Xinan raised his head and said, "I know more than this. My father was the deputy general of General Zhao back then, so he naturally knew everything about the Yangdi Army....Does General Wei know the secret order Pei?"

Wei Mingji's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What is that?"

"Same as the tiger talisman, it is used to dispatch troops and generals. The Secret Order Pei is the order talisman that General Zhao Jue used to dispatch Yangdi's army." Chen Xinan suddenly frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Is it true that General Wei's subordinates are Didn't you tell the general?"

Wei Mingji stretched his expression, took a sip of tea with downcast eyes, and said in a relaxed tone: "Sounds familiar, maybe someone has mentioned it.... Useless things, remember them for what."

Chen Xinan's expression darkened, and he continued: "15 years ago, He Zheng, the governor of Jizhou, contacted powerful forces from all over the country to invade Yingchuan County. After General Zhao Jue and his family died in battle, my father searched everywhere for secret orders to defend Yingchuan, but he couldn't find them. Years later, when I heard that General Zhao Pei had seen the Marquis of Nanyang for the last time, I guessed whether the secret order Pei was in the Marquis of Nanyang."

"However, before my father had time to visit Nanyanghou, Nanyanghou died of an emergency. Nanyanghou's mansion is now orphaned and widowed. My father was afraid of making Mrs. Nanyanghou sad, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​asking the secret order Pei."

He said again: "But this matter has become a knot in my father's heart. He always talks about it. If he found the secret order Pei back then, and sent the defenders outside the city and the defenders inside the city to attack from inside and outside, he might not be able to keep Yingchuan. The secret order Pei is useless now, and the Yangdi army has returned to the general, but my father's knot is hard to get rid of."

Wei Mingji asked loudly: "You mean you want me to help you find the secret order Pei and open your father's knot?"

Chen Xinan burst into tears when he said that he was excited, and said: "The general and Princess Youning are married, why don't the general ask my father if the secret order Pei is in Nanyang Hou's mansion, if so, please send the secret order to the princess and Mrs. Nanyang Hou Pei, to fulfill my father's wish, our Yingchuan Palace will definitely thank Nanyang Houfu and the general!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xinan knelt back and took two steps back, and rushed forward to give Wei Mingji a big obeisance.

Wei Mingji straightened his expression, and there was a trace of frost in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said: "The secret order is just one of them, what does your father want me to do?"

Chen Xinan raised his head, put his hands on his knees, sat upright, and said seriously: "My father knew that the crown prince wanted to win over the general, and the general suffered so much for it that he had to marry Princess Youning to deal with the crown prince and queen. The general has worked so hard, and my father loves the general very much..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Xinan was stunned, and then said: "My father wants the general to divide a thousand people from the Yangdi army to assist my father in stationing Yingchuan..."

Wei Mingji sneered: "Heh! The county lord said just now that your father doesn't covet the Yangdi army, so he's starting to ask for someone. Why isn't your Chen family's divisions enough to be stationed in Yingchuan?"

Chen Xinan's eyelashes fluttered twice, trying to calm himself down from Wei Mingji's rebuttal, "My father really doesn't have many people available... If the general is willing to help, my father can speak for the general in the court, or use some means Tell the queen and the crown prince to calm down, the general doesn't like Princess Youning, my father can also help the general get rid of Princess Youning, and let the general marry someone else he likes..."

"How do you know that I don't like Princess Youning? How do you know who the person I like is?" Wei Mingji said loudly, "Isn't it appropriate for the county princess to come to my house and say such things to me on my wedding night? ?"

Chen Xinan anxiously said: "The marriage between you and Princess Youning is just a use. No one knows that you are a pair of resentful couples who were dragged together by the emperor and queen. Wouldn't the general want to marry someone who really loves you?" Do you admire your woman? Then Princess Youning has never fallen in love with you, why should the general..."

Wei Mingji didn't take it seriously, lifted the wide sleeves of Xipao, and said slowly: "I don't need you to remind me, I know better than anyone what kind of connection I have with Princess Youning. Yingchuan Palace needs to worry about it."

Wei Mingji looked calm, as if everything was under control.

"Xinan county lord's slovenly attire today makes it impossible to see anyone. Please leave quickly through the back door. I promise you both things you asked me to do. I will send 1000 people to Yingchuan on the same day. After the secret order Pei is found I'll deliver it to you myself."

Wei Mingji gave the entourage behind him a look and asked him to see off the guests.

"Wei Mingji!" Chen Xinan Mingyan's face was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, she stood up and asked loudly: "Are you really going to marry that Lin Xingwei? Where do you put me? I have been married for the first time since five years ago. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

Wei Mingji said loudly: "I'm just a son of a merchant, and I'm not worthy of the admiration of Xinan County Lord."

Chen Xinan's delicate and beautiful eyes suddenly lost their anger. He looked at Wei Mingji stupidly, and his tone softened, "That was just a joke my father said back then. Why bother to keep it in your heart for so long? As long as the general is willing to marry me, what should I do?" They are all willing to do it for the general.”

Chen Xinan stepped forward, her slender, white fingers like spring onions involuntarily stretched towards Wei Mingji's face, her heart was soft at the moment, as long as Wei Mingji could accept her, she would give her life for him.

Wei Mingji was covered in goose bumps all of a sudden, his hands were clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white, he leaned back, and lightly dodged Chen Xinan's hand that almost touched his face.

Wei Mingji said: "I already have a wife, if the county magistrate of Xinan is willing to be a concubine, I can also hire her to marry me."

Chen Xinan laughed in disappointment, restrained the frost floating on his jade face, dragged his long skirt two steps forward, and leaned his soft body against Wei Mingji, but he still dodged lightly.

"Five years ago, when the general first took office in the capital, when His Majesty was standing on the high platform to confer the general's office, I was playing with some princesses in the palace. I accidentally saw the general's face and was attracted by the general's mighty posture. At that time, the general still He didn't wear a mask, but he was just a young man with a crown, but he was already handsome and handsome. I still remember what kind of clothes the general wore and what kind of crown he wore. At that time, I swore that I would definitely I want to marry you as a wife."

"In these years, I have looked for opportunities to meet you many times. No matter who invited the banquet, as long as I found out that you might go, no matter whether I have an invitation card or not, I will go there with a cheeky face. For this reason, my father is very unhappy. But so what, it’s just a few words of reprimand, compared to the joy of seeing the general, father’s reprimand is too insignificant.”

"General, I'm infatuated with you, how can you let me down? You want Xinan's life." Chen Xinan looked at Wei Mingji tearfully, like a pug begging for mercy.

"I don't know what the county lord of Xinan said, and I don't want to know. I have already agreed to what you asked for your father. Please go, the county lord. The guests in the house have not left. If someone finds out, I don't care. I'm afraid that the reputation of the county lord will be damaged." Wei Mingji said.

Over the years, he had vaguely known Chen Xinan's thoughts towards him, but he had no such intentions towards Chen Xinan.

Chen Xinan was still sobbing softly when a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Young General, General Lu invites you to have a banquet."

"Lu Shixiu, come in!" Wei Mingji called out.

The servant quickly pushed the door open, bowed his waist and bowed his head, waiting for Wei Mingji's order.

Wei Mingji said: "I'm going to the banquet hall right now, you send the Xinan county master away through the back door."

After Wei Mingji finished speaking, without looking at Chen Xinan again, he strode out of the study room, accompanied by Bao Shang, to the banquet hall in the front yard.
