Si Tian Guan

    After the first month, the snow fell less, but the air was still the same, and the snow on the street did not melt for a long time.

    Dong Chengyu has been away from Beijing for several years, and has long been accustomed to the cold and dry climate in Beijing. If it is not necessary, he will not go out.

    This trip to the capital to reconcile accounts is different from the past. Otherwise, I will not let myself come over in person. Even if the prince does not remind him, he knows that this reconciliation is different from before.

    A few years ago, a conversation about Liu Weixian suddenly appeared, and he knew that this was not a funny thing, and it must be the prince who took the lead.

    Originally, he thought that he would put his mind at ease and involve the scandal in the harem. Even if the emperor was undecided for a while, Liu Weixian should be suspended pending investigation, and the Ministry of Household has been unimpeded since then.

     Not to mention that it will drag King King Mu Jingchen into the water together.

    This shot was unsuccessful, and the next focus of the two sides must be him.

    I have long heard that the sky has changed in Beijing, and now it is a cloud of muddy water, and the future is unclear, but Lord Huai has reassured him in advance that the muddy water will not splash on him, stable The heart is not moving, and the prince will protect him how to come and go.

      retreat.

    During the time he stayed in the capital, the prince instructed him to be careful, but he must be informed before going out, and he should be properly protected.

      The prince will not make Baishiyan any better.

    That is to say, but Dong Chengyu is more willing to save his life than someone who takes revenge after death, and has not gone out for a while.

    But today is a post from Zhao Shizhong, who took office a few years ago. This Zhao Shizhong took the position of Tang Shizhong before, and he is someone who can be considered to win over. The lord also instructed him to take the post.

    Help the prince to do this well, and then put pressure on the Ministry of Household through the prince, put a red seal on it, let him go back, and everything will be fine.

    Dong Chengyu closed his eyes and swayed drowsily with the jolting of the sedan chair, but he could only hover on the edge of falling asleep.

    It's too cold compared to the south.

    Hands clasped the stove, but there is only a little warm place, it seems that the hot air can only reach the wrist, and the further distance is like reaching into the ice hole, reaching the feet, as if already Grows in ice bricks.

    "What's going on?"

    The car curtain opened a crack, and the voice of the attendant came in.

    "Sir, the ground is slippery, someone slipped just now, but fortunately I didn't fall, but the wooden pole was broken and grained, I'm afraid it won't last. The little people are going around to see if there is a car Rent a horse, adults, please wait a moment in peace."

    Dong Chengyu's heart thumped for a while, maybe he couldn't feel at ease in the unfamiliar part of life, even for such a small incident, he was a little scared.

    "How can it break!"

    "Sir, forgive me, maybe it's because it's too cold, the villain will find a way!"

    He planned to wait for the car to pass by, but he didn't expect the car to slowly stand in front of him, and a gentle voice asked: "Master Dong?"

    Seeing that the carriage was luxuriously decorated, he quickly responded: "It's a lower official!"

    "Master Dong is also going to the banquet in Zhao Shizhong's mansion, right? Time is short, do you mind walking with me?"

    Dong Chengyu listened to this voice, but there were too many people in Beijing that he couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to say no.

    "In this case, it will disturb Shangguan..."

    Aware of his hesitation, the cotton curtain by the window was lifted, revealing an unforgettable face.

    Although Dong Chengyu doesn't know her, she already knows who the person is by looking at this face.

    "Master Dong, please get in the car." The man smiled slightly: "Forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Qu, Qu Chenzhou."

    When the carriage started up again, Dong Chengyu realized that it was difficult for him to get pregnant while riding a tiger. The prince had clearly told him that Liu Chongming must be on guard, but this Qu Chenzhou was also very suspicious and could not be speculated with common sense.

     Those eyes are too weird, and they know too much, so try to detour around if you can't see them.

    But I don't know if it's because this life is too good-looking, I can't help but want to take a few more glances, or because the pair of demon pupils do have the magic power to deceive people, so he still got into the car.

    He comforted himself, Zhao Shizhong was always not good at being late, it was just an expedient measure.

    "It was me who was abrupt," Qu Chenzhou poured tea for him with a slight smile: "Did my appearance scare Mr. Dong?"

    "No, no," Dong Chengyu quickly denied, the tea bowl in his hand but dare not drink: "Qu Sitian is famous all over the world, I should have admired it for a long time, but I didn't expect Qu Sitian so young."

    "Mummy praise." Qu Chenzhou only replied with such a polite remark, smiled and nodded at him, and just seemed to signal him to sit down and not speak again.

    Dong Chengyu tried to withdraw his gaze several times, but Yu Guangli couldn't help but look at the other party and saw that the other party had no intention of chatting with him at all, as if he was just dropping by the way, and there were absolutely no tentative clichés that he was worried about and doubted.

    I couldn't help laughing at myself.

     Qu Shenzhou on the opposite side is not good at words, but his curiosity is getting higher and higher.

    When the silence in the carriage was suddenly broken, he realized that he was the one who spoke first.

    "I heard that the prophet Qu Sitianweito can seek good luck and avoid evil, is it true?"

    Qu Sitian is much easier to get along with than he imagined, and smiled lightly.

    "Dr. Dong's words are serious, and he dare not say it without a prophet. He just depends on the sky to eat, and the emperor will not abandon it, so everyone will lift it up. I dare not say that the future can be seen in full, but it is still possible to seek good luck and avoid evil. Do something."

    Dong Chengyu's heart suddenly became alive - he is now uneasy and wanders at night because he is worried about the return journey.

    I have been in Beijing for a few months, and I have never met this Qu Sitian. I can only imagine how rare this person is. arrive…

    "Qu Sitian..." He lowered his voice: "Xiaguan came from the south of the Yangtze River. I heard about Qu Sitian's illustrious reputation, but I never had the chance to be introduced to you. I met you today, and it is actually a lower official. Good luck. The lower official has prepared some small gifts, which will be sent to your house later, and I hope that Qu Sitian will not refuse."

    Qu Chenzhou just looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "Master Dong is very polite...and prepared a small gift..."

    Dong Chengyu didn't feel embarrassed about the expected rejection, just as he was about to say something, he listened to the other side.

    "I heard that the chicken blood jade in Nan'an is very beautiful, and the top grade is hard to find. A few days ago, I saw Shizi hang a fan pendant. know where to find it."

    Dong Chengyu immediately understood, and he was more than relieved - he was born from a low background, what else could he do to climb up? How can you not be greedy? That's a good way to talk.

    "If Qu Sitian likes it, the lower official just got a very good piece, not to mention the fan pendant, it is enough to set it on the belt."

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips and smiled and asked, "Is Master Dong asking for a divination?"

    When he asked this, Dong Chengyu was suddenly in trouble.

    Prince Huai is already suspecting that Qu Sitian has a problem. Now that this hexagram is out, should he listen or should he not?

    Seeing that he hesitated, Qu Chenzhou didn't rush, he went to the brazier slowly and took another piece of charcoal, put it in the hand stove to cover it, and leaned lazily on the couch.

    "I never force others to be difficult. If Master Dong is unwilling, I will pretend that I have never heard of anything."

    "No...that's not what I meant..." Dong Chengyu didn't have time to think about it, so he could only immediately think: "Trouble Qu Sitian."

    Qu Shenzhou looked calm and asked: "Master Dong will return to Jiangnan soon, take the dry road...or the waterway?"

    "Waterway."

    Seeing Qu Shenzhou hesitating to say anything, Dong Chengyu was uneasy and asked: "What's wrong?"

    "Master Dong doesn't know anything, I always only look at the results, not the reasons." Qu Chenzhou lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and said with a smile: "In my humble opinion, Sir It is better to choose the dry road and avoid the waterway, so as to be safe.”

    Their destination has arrived, not far away is Zhao Shizhong's mansion servant who has been diligently catching up to move stools and welcome them to get off.

    Dong Chengyu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly got down first, and then helped Qu Chenzhou to get off.

    There are many guests outside the door, and different people welcome.

    Qu Chenzhou has a distinguished status, and Zhao Shizhong personally welcomed him in. Until the end, Dong Chengyu had no chance to ask any more questions.

    But this question completely stumped him - should he take the water route as originally planned, or should he follow Qu Sitian's suggestion and take the dry route?

    This question also made Mu Jingyan toss and turn for a few days.

    Dong Chengyu's life is important, but behind the answer to this question is Qu Chenzhou's position.

    The situation changed throughout the year last year. King Qi and King Ning died one after another. There is no doubt that Liu Chongming's next opponent is only him.

    Although he was not hurt, he suffered a lot of suffocation and suffering, and he didn't even see where those sneak attacks came from.

    After eliminating all possibilities, he can only gradually bring back the impossible that he had previously denied.

    —In so many things, the beneficiaries are not only the Liu family, but also Qu Shenzhou.

    Although the emperor used to support opponents at the same time and check and balance each other, but thinking about it carefully, has there been any major conflict between Liu Chongming and Qu Chenzhou?

    No.

    As for Ding Lekang's death, the so-called Qu Shenzhou framed Liu Chongming and fell off a cliff is only their statement, no third person can testify

    How Ding Lekang died, no one knows.

    The more Mu Jingyan thought about it, the more frightened he became.

    If this guess is true, if Qu Chenzhou can really do this for the Liu family, then Liu Chongming is really a great helper.

    In this case, he has no chance of winning, the throne has long been surrounded by impregnation, and the emperor still knows nothing.

    But the possibility is too low and too frightening, he is not sure yet, so now Dong Chengyu's problem puts him in a dilemma.

    Waterways? Or dry road?

    Which way is Dong Chengyu's real life?

    "Do you want to guess? Which way will Dong Chengyu take in the end?"

    Liu Chongming first straightened the official hat for someone, and slowly pushed the broken hair into the fingers before pointing down, carefully arranging the waistband of his clothes, and was unwilling.

    "It's hard to come here, you have to go out again."

    Qu Chenzhou stretched out his hand and let him organize his clothes.

    "Tell you not to run over and let people see you and I will lose our heads."

    "I went to see Jingchen today, sat with him for a while, and then missed you," Liu Chongming walked around behind him and rubbed against his temples: "Don't worry, I'll be fine before I come. I looked around, I didn't expect you to go out, Qu Sitian is really busy."

    Qu Chenzhou heard his voice full of resentment, raised his head slightly, put it in his neck, and touched his Adam's apple with the tip of his tongue.

    "Commander Liu is here today. Is it possible that the Jinxiu Camp is patrolling again?"

    "I think so, but it's a pity that Qu Sitian didn't give me enough time, so how can I be careful, careful, check, check?"

    Qu Chenzhou was scratched by the heat and his ears were itchy, he tilted his head and chuckled provocatively: "When I was in Shimao County, it didn't take long for the prince."

    Liu Chongming froze all over, and suddenly bit his ear: "What did you say? Say it again? Obviously you are biting me tightly! I just..."

    The man in his arms was like a slippery eel, and smiled slyly: "I guess Dong Chengyu will walk by water."

    He froze for a moment before remembering that this was the answer to the question just now.

    The little fox is so cunning, every time he wants to slip away, he pretends to discuss the business with him, and these are indeed urgently needed to be solved, he can only endure the discomfort every time continue this topic.

    "Wait for me! Don't let me catch you!" He gritted his teeth and said harshly, before he pulled the man back and tidied up the messy sideburns: "Then I bet Get up, and I guess he will go by water."

    With Mu Jingyan's suspiciousness, it is inevitable to go by water.

    Mu Jingyan can't do it.

    What's more, there was a lesson from King Qi before, even if Mu Jingyan could think of it, in the so-called "close to mountains but not close to water", "water refers to Jiang Xingzhi, and the ending of King Qi is also shocking." People are enough to be daunting.

    "What would happen if Dong Chengyu went by water?" Liu Chongming asked.

    "The time is right, the place is right and the people are right, and I don't take any of it," Qu Chenzhou stroked the ends of his hair to scratch his eyelashes: "What's more, the grandfather's family has a great business, and the rivers and the seas walk sideways. If If you can't even do this little thing well, it's better to come and see you."

    Liu Chongming laughed: "It's too strict. If you were to be my boss, I wouldn't have enough heads for you."

    "Since you are afraid, do your best, and this Shangguan will naturally reward you."

    "What reward? You?"

    Qu Chenzhou was begged for a kiss by the rogue, looked at the sky, and pushed him to get up.

    "Stop making trouble, I should go to the palace. Now that the court has just recovered, the emperor is devout to the queen mother to keep filial piety, and let me keep it with you. If you have nothing to do, don't come here."

    Liu Chongming could only reluctantly let him go, and when he let go, he sighed softly.

    "Shen Zhou, this method will not work."

    Qu Chenzhou understands what he is talking about - Mu Jingyan's people are not only the cancer of the court, but also the enemies of his previous life. Difficult.

    Just one Dong Chengyu made him have to come forward, what about in the future?

    "Take your time, there is always a way," he comforted, and he remembered before going out: "I saw Zhiwei yesterday, and he has a hexagram over there..."
