There is no doubt that Nie Renxi lowered his eyes. No matter who of the two wins, Tingxianlou must stay in Shangjing. The Nie family must take root in the center of this pillar, not for anything else, but to live up to the promise that Nie was given back then. The old emperor of Southern Xia came to Daliang to build a secret post.

The door was pushed open again, and what came into view was a green and a red figure.

Nie Renxi exhaled subconsciously and leaned back on the chair, his expression obviously relaxed.

Yin Luo walked in with his arms crossed and asked with a clear look, "Has King Yuan Jin been here?"

Nie Renxi gave her a look, "Yes, I just left half a cup of tea ago."

After he answered, he looked at Chi Linjing to see what his expression was, but looking at the past moment when he and Chi Linjing met their eyes, there was no wave in those beautiful peach eyes, as if they were not interested at all.

However, Yin Luo raised his hand to add tea to the three of them and asked, "Tell me, what did the King of the East China Sea tell you?"

Pingdu, Trial Sword Inn, fourth floor.

Hongying Hou Wan Ruotan was lying on the wicker chair in the private room and yawned. The corners of his robe were scattered carelessly aside, with a casual sense of heroism that he regarded this place as his own home. Jin Yu drove the chariot and was held steady. After being carried into the private room, he only glanced lazily, then turned his head and carelessly touched the purple gold lion's head, making the lion whimper in dissatisfaction, open its fangs and yawn.

"My king is late, please bear with me, Lord Hongying." Jin Yu's chariot landed, and eight attendants bent down and exited the room, leaving only Meng Zaishi standing in front of the chariot, lowering his head to Wan Ruo Tan bowed.

Wan Ruotan then straightened up. The smile on his lips did not disappear, but the meaning was a little different from before, "I thought that in Lingzhou, Prince Yuanjin hid in this sedan because he was afraid that his old friends would recognize him. , but I didn’t expect that now that I’m in Pingdu, even in your territory, the prince still refuses to see me with my true face. I don’t know what the prince is hiding behind this move?”

Ming Zhidu, who was sitting in the chariot, straightened up when he heard the words. He was about to answer when he heard the man in purple robes in front of him speak again. There was some sinisterness in his sharp words: "I heard that there was an incident in Daliang Palace 13 years ago. There was a fire. After that day, Prince Yuanjin completely left Shangjing and retreated to the East China Sea. Could it be that the fire destroyed the prince's face? Or... was it that the prince's legs and feet caused some inconvenience? "

After Wan Ruotan finished speaking, he started to laugh again, with an expression like "I just guessed that you don't take offense".

Ming Zhidu, who was riding in the chariot, laughed twice when he heard the words. Although he clenched his fists subconsciously, you couldn't tell that he was angry at all just by listening to his voice. He answered in an unhurried tone: "Master Hongying." I am worried, my skin has been very fragile since I was born, and I am not used to the climate here in the East China Sea, so I had this chariot built to block the sea breeze. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me, Lord Hongying. "

Wan Ruotan frowned when he heard this. He stretched out a hand to feel the room, "There is no sea breeze in the room, so it must be nothing serious. Why don't you ask King Yuanjin to leave the sedan and have a few drinks with me?"

King Yuanjin lowered his eyes behind the dark purple gauze curtain and directly rejected Wan Ruotan's invitation without thinking, "I'm afraid I will live up to the kindness of Lord Hongying." There was no embarrassment on Wan Ruotan's face after being rejected. He shrugged slightly, "I don't know what King Yuanjin did when he invited me to visit you again. When it comes to making friends, you are not as sincere as the Nanxia man; when it comes to making allies, you are far inferior to Emperor Chongwen. Handwriting." He said with some scrutiny in his eyes, and threw the bait to King Yuanjin: "The emperor of Daliang didn't know where he learned that I was coming to Pingdu, and yesterday he specially sent someone to deliver 3 Ten thousand taels of gold, I hope that I will enjoy my stay in Pingdu, but the prince cannot even be honest with me, and let me talk to this frame."

King Yuanjin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He did not doubt the authenticity of Wan Ruotan's words. Before Pingdu sealed the city gate, Minghe did send a convoy here and went straight to Fu Yongzhong's garrison. The military commander's office.

Originally, he thought it was the money allocated by the imperial court to Pingdu to repair the city gate canal, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, that humble team was actually loaded with a full 3 taels of gold!

3 taels of gold, which is a lot of money for the national treasury. Minghe gave it to Wan Ruotan, could he just let him have fun in Pingdu?Ming Zhidu would not believe that Ming He could be so kind, so he naturally regarded the 3 taels of gold as a bribe for Ming He to bring Marquis Hongying of Northern Liao into his camp.

"It seems that the person I introduced to the Marquis in Lingzhou did not play any role. Marquis Hongying did not believe what he said, and he did not sincerely want to be on good terms with me," King Yuanjin sighed lightly, "It's a pity, it's really a pity."

Wan Ruotan blinked and followed Ming Zhidu's words and asked, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that Lord Hongying and this king are now grasshoppers on a rope and cannot be untangled."

"If King Yuanjin wants to be a grasshopper, I won't stop you, but don't drag me along with you." Wan Ruotan was already arrogant, and at this moment he despised the adjective "grasshopper" in Mingzhi Ferry. .He didn't know whether the interaction between Chi Linjing and Yin Luo today was too intimate and stimulated him, which led to his harsh words, or whether it was because he was not in a good mood these days. He leaned back on the back of the wicker chair with a sneer on his face. : "No matter what happens, Prince Yuanjin will not be able to leave the East China Sea in the short term, but I am different. I can travel to famous mountains and rivers, and still have a place when I return to Northern Liao. My father's achievements are more real than empty talk." reliable."

Ming Zhidu raised the corner of his mouth, understanding that Wan Ruotan wanted to clear the relationship with him. His eyes were deep and calculating, thinking: Wan Ruotan's name is very influential in Bei Liao, and he comes from a family of generals, so he is really a rare person. He has gained a good ally, and he can't let go of his children in this world. If Minghe can give him 3 taels of gold, then Mingzhidu can give Wan Ruotan what he wants most.

Such as power, such as freedom, even such as family reunion.

Thinking of this, Ming Zhidu changed his mind and shook off Wan Ruotan's matter, "Although what the Marquis said is reasonable, you killed the Daliang court officials in Pingdu after all. This Fu Yongzhong previously held the position of Zuo Shangshu. Tsk, he is still a veteran of two dynasties. He has been stationed in Pingdu for Minghe for so many years and monitored the wind direction of our East China Sea. He is also a famous man. If Minghe knew that you would kill Fu Yongzhong with one blow, I don’t know what he would think of the Marquis. What? Does he think that the Marquis has already formed an alliance with me, and killing Fu Yongzhong is part of the plan between you and me? "

"Also, in addition to Yin Luo and the others who stopped a few carts of coal mines that I transported from Lingzhou, Hongying Marquis also sent his men from Jianghu to help, right? From this estimate, the Marquis has two carts of Lingzhou in his hands. Coal, I wonder what you keep it for?"
