Chapter 79 Undercurrents in the State City (Second Update)

so fast!

Xia Jingyun was a little dazed, nodded immediately and said: "Of course I want to see my sister off. Master?"

Concubine De shook her head, "Father doesn't want to go, I just went to Zhoucheng to show my face, and I left after staying overnight, and it would be tiring for him to follow."

Xia Jingyun thought for a while, "I went to Zhoucheng, and I may have to stay in Zhoucheng for a while. After all, Qiu Wei is coming, and I still need to make some preparations. Mr. Su is going back, and Master will be alone again."

Concubine De sighed, "I asked him to follow me into the capital and he was always unwilling, saying that here he is alone, and when he entered Beijing, I also lived deep within the palace walls, and he was still alone, so I was helpless."

Xia Jingyun thought for a while, and said, "Sister, I have an idea. I'll go back and persuade my parents to let them move to Jiang'an to live with Master. Now I'm going to Zhoucheng, and my cousin is going north with the Wudang Army, so they can take care of each other. And my cousin is in her [-]th year, and a junior in the family can liven up the atmosphere."

If it was Xia Jingyun's past era, maybe Concubine De would inevitably think about whether your kid wants to occupy the magpie's nest, Li Daitao stiff or something like that.

But right now, few people are willing to leave their hometowns, let alone move their entire family.

Coupled with the performance of the two brothers Xia Jingyun and Xia Yunfei these days, Concubine De will not think too much about that aspect.

So Concubine De said: "Is it too forced?"

Xia Jingyun smiled, "I'm also preparing for the future. If I'm lucky enough to go according to our plan, I will settle in Zhongjing City in the future. Let them take a small step now, and let them take a big step in the future. It will be easy."

Concubine De couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "You really know how to comfort people."

It's easy to talk to smart people.
"Then I will write a letter and talk to my parents first, so that they can be mentally prepared, and I will personally persuade them to move to Jiang'an after a while."

Concubine De smiled and nodded, stood up and took his hand, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Jingyun: ()
"Sister, don't worry, I will continue to work hard and strive to be your most trusted and solid support in the future."

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "It's already very good now! Sister is very satisfied."

"The future is still long!"

"Okay, sister will wait and see!"

Coming out of Yun Mansion, he arrived at the Wudang Army barracks again. Jiang Yuhu was presiding over the military drills. When he saw him coming, he frowned, "Why are you smiling like a fool?"

"Is there?" The dizzy Xia Jingyun touched his face, tried his best to return to normal, looked at the scene below, and said skillfully, "I thought the general was just talented in war, but I never thought that running an army is also strict. When a person is better than others, but also works harder than others, it is impossible to fail! Caomin convinced!"

Jiang Yuhu's face looked much better to the naked eye, and his poker face was still looking straight ahead, "I call you here, there are two things. The first thing is that I have already arrested Song Renxia, ​​but I will deal with the people in our army. I won't hand them over to the court. Go and talk to Empress Defei."

"The general's heart is kind, and he cares about the friendship of his robes. It's no wonder that the Wudang army can become the strongest army in the world! Your empress will understand, please rest assured, general."

Jiang Yuhu couldn't help turning his head to look at him, as if he couldn't figure out how such an astonishingly talented young man could cultivate such abilities as the old treacherous officials in the court, but the "happiness of a foolish emperor" in his heart was indeed real, "Second thing, Jin Jiancheng went to get some quail and came back. Seeing how vain you are, I'll give you some supplements."

Xia Jingyun blurted out, "Can quail make up too?"

Jiang Yuhu said lightly: "Have you never heard of using form to complement form?"

Then this little bird can't make up for me, I'm a big eagle.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "General, I'm going to refute this. The theory of complementing form with form is somewhat fallacious. According to this statement, if I want to eat people, wouldn't I become a master of human beings?"

Just like a person who doesn’t know how to refuse, his affirmation is meaningless, and a person who blindly flatters, over time, his praise will become cheap, and he has to pick some trivial things like this to refute and argue twice, so that the flattery will appear so sincere.

As a qualified and excellent project manager, Xia Jingyun is already familiar with these things.

But his rebuttal fell into Jiang Yuhu's ears, but did not cause any waves.

Jiang Yuhu just turned his head and looked at him calmly, "How do you think they became masters?"

Duang!
Xia Jingyun felt as if he had been hit on the head, and his head was buzzing.

In the big tent, two people were eating quail silently.

"Why are you so stupid?"

"Ahem, less exercise on weekdays."

"Did you exercise too much?"

"General, let's talk about something serious."

"Not interested." Jiang Yuhu drank the last sip of soup, "Let your cousin decorate the quail for you, go back early."

After saying that, he turned around and entered behind the large tent, leaving Xia Jingyun alone facing the bird, in a mess.

Going back to the small courtyard, Yan Zhi looked at the bunch of quails, trying to hold back a smile.

Xia Jingyun's face darkened, "Laugh if you want to."

Yanzhi chuckled, and rubbed his shoulders for him, "Young master is as powerful as a tiger, so you don't need these things."

Xia Jingyun nodded in satisfaction without any shame, "You are indeed the one with the most say."

Men can admit being poor and ugly, but they will never admit that they are not good enough.

There are many proverbs to prove it: you don't talk in detail, you talk a lot, long-term stability and so on.

It's a pity that the words are good, but the action is the real chapter.

Just like tonight, this man, who was so sleepy, couldn't even count as a simple conversation, let Yanzhi snuggle up beside him happily, and at the same time couldn't help thinking, let's hurry up and take stewed quail to drink on the road tomorrow.

Parting is often like this, even if the date is set in advance, but when the moment actually arrives, the emotions will really pour out.

Because, what hurts is not time, but situation.

Concubine De and Old Master Yun stood outside the pavilion outside the city, holding hands and looking at their tears.

Grandpa Yun looked at his daughter, wondering what it would be like to say goodbye, and whether there was even a chance to see her again. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

Concubine De also looked at her father's aging face, with a lot of worries in her heart.

Standing in front of him, I seem to be the carefree girl; but after this farewell, I will face the cold and windy days and nights alone.

But in the end, they just hugged lightly, and then said treasure to each other.

The farewell was too hard, as if this side was really regarded as the last side.

Even if it is true, they don't want to believe it, and they have to leave a thought for the rest of their lives.

Watching the curtains of the car being lowered and the coachman taking his place, Mr. Yun took a deep breath and shouted.

"Congratulations to Empress Concubine De!"

In a word, Concubine De's defenses were instantly broken, and she, who was sitting in the carriage, burst into tears.

Xia Jingyun silently walked beside Old Master Yun, "Master, I wrote to my parents, and they will move to Jiang'an when the time comes, and spend more time with you. I will come back to see you often."

"Gao Yang! Don't worry about these things, my health is fine! You do your job well. Qiu Wei is only ten days away, and I can wait to celebrate your high school!"

"Master, don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

"Okay, let's go, don't fall too far, I'm fine, just treat it as a lively dream, what should I do with my life!"

When Xia Jingyun heard this, his heart felt sour for no reason. He remembered some pictures he had seen before, sniffled, and put his arms around the old man, "Master, take care."

Mr. Yun was suddenly hugged like this, his body froze, and he relaxed slowly. He patted Xia Jingyun on the back lightly, "Take care too."

Xia Jingyun jumped into the carriage and waved to Mr. Yun. The coachman flicked his whip, "Drive!"

After walking a while, he gently opened the side curtain, and sure enough, he saw Mr. Yun standing at the door like a stone pillar, watching them go away.

Xia Jingyun withdrew his gaze, gently wiped the wet corners of his eyes, Xie Yanzhi held his hand, gentle and silent, just like her usual gentle and silent companionship.

"Rouge, shall I teach you a song?"

"Ah."

Xia Jingyun hummed softly, Xie Yanzhi learned it once, then opened her red lips lightly and began to sing.

A melodious and melodious voice came from the carriage and sounded on the ancient road in the mountains.

"Outside the pavilion, along the ancient road, the grass is green and green"
-
Along the way, Xia Jingyun, who was with the team, would also go to greet and chat with Concubine De when they stopped.

Then use the song "Farewell" to make Concubine De cry again.

Then he went to Jiang Yuhu's place and flattered him, making Jiang Yuhu indulge in the joy of a foolish king and unable to extricate himself.

As the team moved forward and the messengers arrived one after another, he also gradually understood some of the aftermath of the rebellion.

The officials of the entire Jianning County were almost wiped out, including Zhao Hongfei, the magistrate of Jiang'an County, and Qian Debao, the magistrate of Wanfu County, who was still fantasizing about turning the situation around after the Zheng family and his son were successful.

Xia Yunfei personally went to Wanfu County to uproot the evil forces including Qian Debao and Lu Erhu, and sent a letter from Xia Jingyun to his family along the way, and reunited him with his family who was about to go north with the army.

In Jiang'an City, the busyness of Yicui Building gradually subsided. Frightened by the Zheng family's rebellion, Ning Bing hurried back to Zhongjing with a group of people from Beijing without waiting for Concubine De to leave. She didn't know how she would evaluate this trip to Jiang'an.

The wheels are like time, slowly rolling over, leaving traces, but it is difficult to turn back.

It turned round and round, turned over bumps and distances, and slowly approached the destination it wanted to go to.
-
Sishui Prefecture City, the prison in the city.

Outside the prison, there was a group of guards standing with guns, and behind them, there was a group of people in heavy clothes standing with knives on their shoulders.

The completely different painting styles and temperaments of the two teams make it easy to tell that they are a strong army and a state government servant.

The reason for such strict guards is that in the prison behind them, a group of rebels who tried to rebel this time were imprisoned.

In the deepest part of the prison, there is a tightly guarded cell.

In the prison cell, the man with shackles on his hands and shackles on his feet was the second in command of the state, Chief Shi Lu Fengyuan, who was trying to cope with the rebellion in the state city this time, and sacrificed the state city to put Concubine De in a doomed place.

Now that the matter has failed and he is in prison, there is not much panic and depression on his face, and his back is straight when he sits against the wall.

A burst of footsteps sounded from the prison door, and slowly came to the prison door where Lu Fengyuan was.

"Master Lu?"

The prison boss was holding a big food box in his hand, bowed his waist, and had a flattering expression on his face.

Lu Fengyuan turned his head to look at him, and said lightly, "Come in."

"Hey!" With permission, the cell head dared to open the cell door, set up a small table, and laid out the contents of the food box.

There are meat and vegetables, and even wine.

Not only that, but the cell boss was a little apprehensive, and he said apologetically, "The city has been under strict control for the past two days, and I couldn't buy your beloved Liuxiangju. Please don't blame me, my lord."

Lu Fengyuan looked indifferent, "It's okay. Pour a glass of wine first."

"Hey!" The jailer quickly poured a glass of wine, put his hands to Lu Fengyuan's mouth and fed it.

Then took a few mouthfuls of vegetables and fed them into Lu Fengyuan's mouth.

It is not the first time to see this tacit cooperation.

The jailer said cautiously: "My lord, according to the plan, Empress Defei will arrive tomorrow."

"What? Scared?"

"No, no, the little one has an adult as a backer, how can he be afraid of her!"

"Just don't be afraid!" Lu Fengyuan smiled contemptuously, "I haven't taken any action yet, and he has not been able to find any letters from my house without being an army. What can I do?"

He snorted, "When the time comes, my cousin Shen Yunqingzhu will use Tianwei to harm Zhongliang, and then accuse her of planting cronies in Sishui prefecture, cultivating power, and her intentions are wrong. How can I be in danger?"

"Your Excellency is wise!" The jailer showed excitement, and immediately fed him another glass of wine, "It's just a pity that Your Excellency has been in Sishui Prefecture for so many years."

Lu Fengyuan shook his head, "You are wrong. The foundation of this official is in the palace, in the body of nobles and nobles. If honors and nobles do not fall, the empress does not fall, the empress does not fall, the official does not fall, and the official does not fall. How can the foundation of Sishui Prefecture fall?"

He laughed, "This is the general trend, even if I say it so openly, I'm not afraid of being heard."

The head of the prison suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "It's really a blessing for the young to be able to serve the adults."

Lu Fengyuan leaned against the wall, "When I set off, you will follow me to Beijing, and when you arrive in Zhongjing, after I get rid of the crime, you will have a wonderful fortune."

"Thank you sir!"

Lu Fengyuan hummed, and immediately looked at a dish, and the jailer quickly picked up his chopsticks and sent it over.

In the rotten prison cell, the smell of vegetables and wine bursts.

　The two updates are [-] words, and the basic update is finished.besides.
