Chapter 798: Cut-to-neck acquaintance, brother-sister relationship

"Okay, you can say it now!"

Qi Rui had almost guessed what Xiang Chong had just said, but he didn't expect much.

"The eldest son asked me to speak to Mr. Qi alone..."

Qi Rui said displeased: "Huh, if you don't want to say it, you can leave now! I didn't ask you to say it!"

Immediately, he looked at Xiang Chong, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, let's continue drinking!"

Xiang Chong smiled helplessly and could only pick up the cup and act with him.

In fact, both of them were eager to know what news the young man in black brought, which was related to Lin Yun's next strategy for dealing with the Chu family.

When the young man in black saw that the two of them had actually drank, he cursed inwardly, but he could only keep his mouth shut.

"My eldest son said that the Chu family can accept the two requests Master Qi made at Suolongmen during the day! However, the court must also agree to one request of my Chu family!"

Qi Rui put down the wine glass casually and said, "If you have something to say, say it all at once. Don't hesitate! I'm not in the mood to grind my teeth with you!"

"Next, the imperial court must unconditionally help my Chu family carry out military reform! That is to say, they will be fully equipped with the same standard equipment as the 30,000 defenders of Tongshan Pass!"

Qi Rui's eyes lit up, isn't this what Lin Yun wants most? It really takes no effort at all.

He stood up and said, "Are you done?"

"That's right!"

"Then go back and tell your heir apparent that the Chu family's conditions will be considered by the court as appropriate, but the final decision depends on the regent's wishes! In addition, can Chu Xiang really be the master of King Chu Jiang?"

"Of course, the eldest son is fully responsible for the affairs here this time. If you can't make a final decision, then why did you risk your life and sneak into Tongshan Pass?"

Qi Rui nodded: "Very good, you can go!"

After that, the young man in black turned and left.

Xiang Chong raised his head and laughed: "Commander Qi, the regent really has a plan! He actually killed his Chu family to death! Whatever the other party thought of, the regent also thought of, and what the other party didn't expect, the regent also thought of it in advance. The arrangements are clear..."

"Okay! Mr. Xiang, Tongshan Pass will be temporarily handed over to you! I will return to Beijing overnight to report the news to the Regent!"

Xiang Chong said in surprise: "That Shi Bao has just come down from the mountain. If Commander Qi also leaves, what will I do if a war breaks out? I can only make plans, but I am not proficient in the art of war and strategy!"

Qi Rui patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Facts have once again proved that the Chu family has no guts to take action now! Don't let the general named Chu Xun Xia Zhu during the day!"

After that, he packed up everything and led his confidants down the mountain.

Capital, the study room of Prince Yun's Mansion.

Lin Yun was sitting in front of the desk looking at the military affairs sent back from the front line during the day.

In addition to being the regent, he is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is still responsible for official affairs related to the field of military affairs.

At this time, Ye Wanqing pushed the door in wearing a coat and handed him a bowl of ginseng tea.

"Ms. sir, it's already midnight, why don't you rest? What if you're exhausted?" Lin Yun took her into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and said, "You girl, now She feels more and more distressed! How is Madam’s mood lately?”

"Hey, it's still like that! But I heard that her illness can be cured, and she is much better! By the way, Mr. Shi, Shi Baoke is still kneeling in the yard! Do you plan to keep him alone?"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "Don't worry about it! Although this Shi Bao is very capable, he is full of thorns. I will give him an unforgettable lesson this time!"

In fact, Lin Yun was very angry after learning about Shi Bao's mistake. However, he later discovered that after Shi Bao returned to Beijing, he did not go to see the Eight Wise Kings, but came to Yun Mansion to admit his mistake immediately.

This also made Lin Yun feel very angry.

"But... it's autumn now, and the temperature difference between day and night in the capital is huge. If he were to kneel in the garden all night, he would probably freeze to death!"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said: "Second Madam, don't worry, he is a military general, but his health is not that bad! Okay, it's getting late, you go down and rest!"

Ye Wanqing shook her head helplessly and could only get up and leave.

After walking out of the study, she came to Shi Bao and told the maid behind her: "Go get a coat and put it on for him!"

"Yes, Second Madam!"

After the maid left, Shi Bao raised his head and looked at Ye Wanqing.

"Sister Wanqing, what did the prince say?"

Ye Wanqing looked at him with hatred and said: "I didn't say anything! I just let you continue to reflect here!"

It turns out that Shi Bao and Ye Wanqing have known each other since childhood, and the two elderly people are close friends.

If Shi Bao hadn't joined the army and joined the Shenji Camp and became a confidant of the Eight Wise Kings, Ye Ruhui would have married his eldest daughter Ye Wanru to Shi Bao.

The two families would also get closer, but at that time, Ye Ruhui strictly prohibited his family members from participating in party struggles, and he would not allow his future uncle to participate in party struggles.

Otherwise, Shi Baoke would become Ye Wanqing's eldest brother-in-law, and there would be no problem with Ling Ri.

Because of this, Ye Wanqing just went to the study to plead for Shi Bao.

Shi Bao smiled bitterly: "Sister Wanqing, I grew up with you two sisters. I almost married your sister back then. You can't watch your brother Bao being dealt with by the regent, right?"

Ye Wanqing looked around and smiled slyly: "Okay! Brother Bao has been in the officialdom for so many years, haven't you noticed? If my husband really doesn't want to see you, can he still let you kneel here? He has already given the order. I’m going to jail you! It’s for your own good to make you kneel here!”

Shi Bao's eyes lit up: "Sister Wanqing, are you serious about what you said?"

"Of course! My husband is always thoughtful and will never do anything in vain! Moreover, you came to Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as you returned to Beijing this time, which made your husband very happy. Although he didn't say it, my little sister could feel it! So, You don’t need to worry, just work hard tonight, my husband will definitely meet you before dawn at the latest!”

Shi Bao finally let go and said with emotion: "Hey, sister Wanqing, our two families are close friends, so we are not considered outsiders in this generation. You must help this foolish brother more in the future... "

In his mind, if Lin Yun became emperor in the future, even if Ye Wanqing could not become queen, she would still be at the level of imperial concubine, which would still be a huge help to his Shi family.

Everyone in the civil and military circles of the current dynasty does not know that Ye Wanqing, the second wife, was the woman who accompanied Lin Yun to start a family from scratch, and she will definitely be favored and loved.

Ye Wanqing quickly made a silence gesture to him and whispered: "Don't mention the future now! The most important thing Brother Bao should do is to show his loyalty to Mr. Xian! I believe you will see the situation clearly when you return to Beijing this time! If If you’re still stubborn, don’t tell me that I won’t help you! We’ll meet in person in the future!”
