the first lady

Chapter 297

But Lian withdrew his hand when he leaned forward, and retreated a foot away in the next moment.

Helian Feiyan felt a little regretful about the sudden loss of the warmth in his hands, but Lian was someone who couldn't move, otherwise, how could he care about whether he was a man or a woman?

"Your Majesty, please order." Lian said indifferently, and the faint charming smile from before resumed on his face.

That smile made Helian Feiyan wish he could pull him under him right now. No one could escape his temptation just by relying on his face and movements, and only Lian could have this ability.

"Miss, why did we come to Mocheng?" Ning Xiang followed Qiao Ling'er, looking at Mocheng who was clearly in a hurry and couldn't help asking.

Now all forces are hoarding, and Mocheng is very close to the Yi people. If a war breaks out, this will be the first city to suffer.

Lanfeng, Qingye, He Lanyin and Zhuiming all followed Qiao Linger's side, so this team is not too big even if it is said to be small.Although it is a very dazzling team, the people of Mocheng at this time have no intention to observe these outsiders, even if they can, they just pass it by.

In fact, not only Ningxiang was curious, but other people were also curious, but they kept the question in their hearts and didn't ask it.

"I came to Mocheng this time to find someone." Qiao Ling'er said mysteriously.

"Who?" Ning Xiang continued to use her inquiring nature to ask.

Qiao Ling'er smiled faintly, and had already stopped in front of a house.

Qingye, Zhuiming and the others also raised their heads and looked up. The majestic house had a black plaque hanging on the top of the door, with three golden characters "Gongsun Mansion" written on it.

Gongsun Mansion, the mansion where the city lord of Mocheng lived.

The people in Mocheng were already in panic, but there was no panic at all in Gongsun Mansion, including the guards guarding the gate, who were as indifferent as ever.

Seeing such a crowd, Qiao Ling'er couldn't help but twitched a faint smile, and went forward without explaining anything to Ningxiang and the others.

"Who are you?" The guards of the Gongsun Mansion saw Qiao Ling'er and his party approaching, and stood up to stop them.

Qiao Ling'er calmly took out a white jade plaque from her pocket, handed it forward, and said, "I want to meet City Lord Gongsun, but I wonder if the City Lord can meet him?"

The guard was taken aback when he saw this, then lowered his voice and said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the city lord."

"En!" Qiao Ling'er nodded without being impatient.

Ning Xiang and the others looked at each other, completely unaware of why she came here, but no one doubted it.Although He Lanyin met Qiao Ling'er only later, she admired her thinking very much. She was sure that she definitely had her own ideas in doing so.

"Don't you realize that Mocheng is under the control of City Lord Gongsun, and it is governed in an orderly manner?" Qiao Linger asked casually without knowing why.

"..." Several people were silent for a moment, and then He Lanyin spoke first, "From the architectural point of view, this is a rich city, and the Gongsun Mansion is different from the outside world...."

As He Lanyin said the words, the gazes of several other people also fell on the face of another guard at the side. Even though it was only a small guard, his temperament was beyond ordinary people's ability to compare with yours. For sure, and looking into the mansion from here, you won't feel any commotion inside.

The person who reported hadn't come yet, but before that, he met someone who was considered acquainted.

"Who are you?" A somewhat arrogant female voice came along with the sound of horseshoes, and she couldn't help asking when she saw a group of strangers at the door of her house.

Seeing Gongsun Mi, the guard immediately stepped forward to lead her horse and explained to her: "Miss, these people are here to find the master, and An Huan has already gone to report to the master."

"Hmm!" The person who came was Gongsun Mi, the only precious daughter of City Lord Gongsun, and she was also the person Qiao Linger had met since she first came to Mocheng.

"Miss Gongsun, long time no see, don't come here without any problems..." Qiao Ling'er greeted Gongsun Mi with a slight smile.

"Who was I at that time? It turned out to be you, a little girl." A disdainful voice floated out of Zhui Ming's mouth, and the words that came out immediately gave Gongsun Mi the urge to beat someone up.

When Gongsun Mi saw Qiao Linger and Zhui Ming, she was taken aback for a moment, and then her face became more angry: "It's you? What are you doing here?"

Before Qiao Linger and the others could reply, a majestic male voice had already taken the call: "Mi'er, don't be rude!"

Walking out of it was a tall and straight middle-aged man with profound features and a face that was not angry but mighty, giving off an air of arrogance.

"Father..." Seeing Gongsun Ye coming out, Gongsun Mi couldn't help restraining her eldest lady's temper, and walked over with her mouth pouted.

Gongsunye glanced at his beloved daughter indifferently, then his eyes fell on Qiao Linger and his party, and finally settled on Qiao Linger.

While Gongsunye was looking at Qiao Linger, Qiao Linger was also looking at the man Zong Zhengyan praised, because of his enlightenment and resourcefulness, it was possible for the people in Mocheng to live a stable life. Under his rule, it is thriving, and it can be said to dominate one side.

Now that Qiao Linger looked at Gongsunye's face, she could naturally see more things from his face, for example, what is this person's personality?
"Is the young master looking for the old man?" After a while, Gongsun Ye asked. Among the group of people, only Qiao Ling'er, the leader, was the most eye-catching, and he could be recognized as the leader at a glance.

"Father, she is not a son at all, she is..." Gongsun Mi interjected immediately after Gongsun Ye asked, but was interrupted by Gongsun Ye's eyes before she finished speaking.

Gongsun Ye just glanced at her indifferently, but he was capable enough to make her shut up.

In fact, based on how Gongsun Ye has known people for so many years, how could he not know that Qiao Ling'er is a woman disguised as a man?And the slightly raised abdomen also indicated that she was pregnant at this time.

A woman came to Mocheng to look for him after she was pregnant, and she had a secret order from him to Zongzheng Yan. Gongsun Ye also understood her identity, and she was also the woman whom Zongzheng Yan praised so much.

In the few months not long ago, Zong Zhengyan used a series of new methods she taught to stimulate the people to do their own work, such as using the jobs assigned by the ratio of men to women in the city, which made Mocheng's economy achieve huge growth for a time. progress.

He has also always wanted to take a look at the legendary Mrs. Zongzheng. It's not that he hasn't heard the rumors about the fourth lady of the Qiao family, but most of them describe her as stunningly beautiful and cowardly, and even more so as a boudoir with no opinions.Now that I actually saw her, I immediately overturned those rumors.

"I wonder if it's convenient for City Lord Gongsun to meet with you?" Qiao Ling'er looked at Gongsun Ye, and had a good impression of this man as a shrewd and intelligent person.

When Gongsun Ye heard her slightly deep voice, his eyes suddenly became bright. He could hear that her voice had undergone a change. He did not expect to be able to do it so perfectly. Full man.

"Please!" Gongsun Ye made a concession, after all, he still has some subjects in his heart.

Although the prime minister, Zong Zhengyi, was in danger not long ago, in his heart he still regarded her as the prime minister's wife, and the prime minister's wife naturally had this identity.

Qiao Ling'er didn't make any excuses either. The current rules and etiquette are of no use to her.

Zhui Ming, He Lanyin and his group all followed behind Qiao Linger and Gongsunye. Gongsunye was relatively a master of martial arts, but he could tell that the people who followed Qiao Linger were not weak. Martial arts, except for the seemingly innocent maid.If he knew that what Ningxiang was good at was not physical kung fu but mental control, he might be amazed at how many strange people there are.

Gongsun Mi was somewhat annoyed in her heart, but she would not get angry on her own accord, because it was not the woman in front of her who killed her brother Yi.

Gongsun Ye led Qiao Ling'er and his party directly to the study room, ordered tea to be served, and then someone guarded the door to prevent people from eavesdropping.

"Madam Zongzheng, what advice can I ask the old man?" Gongsun Ye got to the point as soon as he sat down, without beating around the bush, but the address had already been changed.

"I don't dare to advise you, but I want to discuss some things with City Lord Gongsun." Qiao Ling'er smiled faintly, maintaining the proper posture, but the style between her brows was not diminished at all, and because of her pregnancy, It even seemed a little lazy.

"Madam Zongzheng, please tell me." Gongsunye looked into Qiao Ling'er's eyes, and could see the wisdom in her eyes, which was not something such a young woman could have at all.

Qiao Ling'er smiled slowly, shifted her eyes to other places, and said lightly: "City Lord Gongsun should know that the territory of Nanwu Kingdom is now divided into two forces, one is headed by the current emperor, and the other is the third prince. No, it should be called the third prince now. If the two armies are at war, Mocheng will definitely become the base of the third prince, and whether the city lord is willing or not, the third prince is bound to win."

"So... Madam Zongzheng means..." Gongsun Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.

"City Lord Gongsun is a smart person. We smart people don't say dark words. We just want to take advantage of City Lord Gongsun. I don't know what City Lord Gongsun thinks?" Qiao Linger asked with a smile.

Hearing that Gongsun Ye's face was a little dark, but the light in his eyes was even brighter than before, "Mrs. Zongzheng wants the old man to entrust Mocheng to the Third Prince himself?"

Mocheng is a city, a rich city other than the capital. Such a city not only has the economy, but also has absolute military strength.
