That day, Lin Dai and An Jiu left Jiangyang City together in a carriage.

"An Jiu, do you know any fun and exciting places all the way east?"

"Well, what a coincidence! There is a city called Kaifeng all the way to the east. There is a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting being held there right now. If we hurry up, we can get there just in time to catch the last wave of chrysanthemums."

"Kaifeng Prefecture? No way, is there anyone named Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"I don't know. Who is this person? Does Miss Lin know him?"

"No, I'm just asking out of curiosity. Let's go to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Except for resting and eating, they spent the rest of the time on the road. Fortunately, Lin Dai was able to sneak into the space, otherwise the bumpy ride in the carriage would have shaken her lungs out.

It took half a month to get there even if they rode at full speed. After asking the system, she found out that it would only take another half a month to reach the capital. Lin Dai was sure that it must be Shen Qing who asked An Jiu to do this. She remembered it.

Shen Qing, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed, and narcissistically thought that someone must be thinking of him.

Half a month had passed, and except for the first batch of assassins sent by Qin Yan, none of the assassins sent later had found Shen Qing, let alone the one called Master Wuyou. Until today, when he went to court, he actually saw this person who had disappeared for a long time.

In the hall, Qin Yan saw Shen Qing, who should not be in the hall, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything to report?" Yan Di, who was standing in the hall, asked the people below as usual.

"I have a report." Shen Qing glanced at Qin Yan, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I passed by Jiangyang City on my way back to the capital, and accidentally discovered that the prefect of Jiangyang City was working for the people on the surface, but secretly trafficking in people and hiding young girls. I wonder if you still remember that when the late emperor was alive, he was confused by the evil Taoist and became obsessed with alchemy. I met that evil Taoist in Jiangyang City. The prefect colluded with the evil Taoist and tortured young girls to make alchemy. Here are some things I want to show your majesty."

"Present it." The eunuch next to him immediately went down and brought the things to the emperor. After the emperor saw it, he was instantly furious: "Prime Minister Qin, do you have anything to say about the matter of Jiangyang City?"

"Your Majesty, what does the Jiangyang City incident have to do with me?" At this time, Qin Yan still did not take this matter seriously. After knowing that the Jiangyang City incident was exposed and failed, he had already made plans.

"What does it have to do with you? Humph, my dear ministers, do you know who the prefect of Jiangyang City is? It is Qin Qi, a member of the Qin family. I still have the correspondence between Qin Qi and you." Yan Di threw his hand down, and the other ministers picked it up and looked at it.

"Your Majesty, Qin Qi was a member of the Qin family before, but because he made a mistake, I drove him out of the capital and demoted him to Jiangyang City as the prefect. I know nothing about what he did in Jiangyang City. As for the letter, it cannot prove that I have anything to do with it." As long as he did not admit it, the emperor could not do anything to him and let him live a good life for a few more days.

"Humph, demoted to Jiangyang City as a prefect? ​​Since when were demoted prisoners treated so well? Whether there is any connection or not, this matter still needs further investigation. Before it is thoroughly verified that the Prime Minister has nothing to do with this matter, the Prime Minister should stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and make a decision after the matter is clarified in the future. After the court is dismissed, Shen Qing comes to the imperial study to see me."

After all the ministers left, Qin Yan walked up to Shen Qing and snorted coldly: "Shen Qing, I didn't expect you to return to the capital alive. But it doesn't matter. You won't have many good days left, hum." He shook his sleeves and strode away.

Shen Qing just smiled faintly. It was still uncertain who would win or lose, but we would definitely not be the losers.

"Master Shen, let's go. The Emperor is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

Arriving at the imperial study, the emperor was so angry that he threw the memorial to the ground and said, "I will kill this old man sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, you are still so angry. Didn't we discuss this? We are just using this incident to make him stay at home until the Lantern Festival, and also give others a warning."

"I know that, but I just can't help it. I've been tolerating him for a long time. By the way, can you make sure that Master Wuyou comes before the Lantern Festival?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. He is still very trustworthy."

"Well, after the Lantern Festival, everything will be over, regardless of success or failure."

Prime Minister's Mansion

Qin Yan returned home in anger, and Mrs. Qin hurriedly asked what had happened?

"Humph, Yan Di that brat actually dared to confine me. I will definitely make up for what happened today someday. I will go to the study first and ask the butler to come see me."

In the study, Qin Yan secretly told Butler Qian some things and let him go.

Qin Yan still thought that no one knew what he had done. Even if the emperor knew something, it would be useless. But he didn't know that there was someone named Yi Tong who had been watching him in secret.

Lin Dai was drinking tea in the inn, listening to the system's report: "Fatty, if Dayan hadn't met us, there would really be a change of dynasty. Look at how cunning this old thief is, he is so cunning and sly."

"Yes, we all thought he was just colluding with the foreign vassal states, but we didn't expect that he was colluding with the Fourth Prince of Wei. He also wanted to use Wei to successfully seize power. He would help the Fourth Prince become the Crown Prince, and then he would get rid of the foreign vassal states. What a big chess game, what a courage, he is not afraid of failure."

"Indeed, but generally people with ambitions are not timid. They are just cooperating temporarily. In the end, they all want to unify the four countries. By the way, Fatty, is this Steward Qian related to the Qian Mansion in Qingyang County?"

"Well, somewhat related, distant relative."

"Oh, that's what I said. It's their bad luck that they met us. Well, what we need to do now is to have a good rest today and enjoy the chrysanthemums tomorrow."

After half a month of traveling, although I sneaked into the space to rest from time to time, I was still very tired. The main reason was that the road conditions in ancient times were really bad, and the carriage vibrated too much. Speeding all the way was not as comfortable as driving a mule cart slowly by myself.

Although she was very tired, Lin Dai did not stop her practice. After finishing boxes of chalk, she finally got some shape. She tried to draw on paper with a pen again. Although the result was not very good, it was much better than the first time. Come on.

After a day's comfortable rest, Lin Dai and An Jiu went out to appreciate the chrysanthemums the next day. They had already found out that the best place to appreciate the chrysanthemums was Longting.

They walked and played as they went. It was Kaifeng Prefecture, and the area under Bao Zheng's jurisdiction was prosperous, and the people seemed very happy. Of course, this was what Lin Dai thought in her own Kaifeng Prefecture. After all, she didn't believe that Bao Zheng existed here.

When she arrived at Longting, Lin Dai discovered that this was just a place similar to a garden. There was no modern Longting Hall or golden dragon and phoenix pillars. This was not the imperial palace of the Six Dynasties, so how could there be those things?

There are many kinds of chrysanthemums here, and the colors are also very rich, including white, pink, red, purple, etc., in various shapes. Some look like wheat ears, some look like maple leaves, and some look like frost. Lin Dai was stunned when she saw that chrysanthemums have so many colors.

Soon they came to a bridge, under which was a lake. The unpolluted water was so clear that you could see the fish in it. There were all kinds of chrysanthemums on both sides of the lake, which was so beautiful. It would be great if I had a mobile phone to take some photos.

"Chubby, can you take some pictures?" "Sure, I'll take nice pictures." "Okay."

After walking for a while, they found that there were food and drinks for sale. Lin Dai pulled An Jiu to eat something here and try the tea made with chrysanthemums.

I found a small teahouse, sat by the window, asked the waiter to bring me a pot of top-quality tea, ate some snacks, and admired the beautiful scenery outside. It was so relaxing.

"An Jiu, do you like this kind of life?"

An Jiu looked at the scenery outside the window, took a sip of tea and said, "I think everyone should dislike it. This is what many people yearn for. Unfortunately, it is not available to everyone and everywhere."

"Indeed, you secret guards can only be secret guards for your entire life until you die in a mission?"

"No, when the time is right, I will train the next group of people to take over from me. At that time, I can live in seclusion. It is also for my own safety."

"Well, it's nice to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire."

Neither of them spoke, they just drank tea and admired the view quietly, but they didn't expect to hear gossip.
