Emperor's Trophy

Jiang Ning received a letter from Yun Zhen, asking him to be on guard against anyone suspicious. He suspected that another force was in the mix—it might be Ji Huaisu, Prince of Hejian County, and it was very important to support another prince of the Yuan family. It may be that he is behind the scenes, so let him be careful and put safety first.

Ji Huaisu?Jiang Ning frowned and thought for a while. People from Beiqi are very sensitive to people from the Southern Dynasty, and people from Dayong are easy to identify. Even after he came back, his words and deeds did not reveal traces of belonging to the Yong Dynasty.But with his iconic blue eyes and the fact that there are guards in and out, it is easy for people to know that he is the son who was recovered by King Changguang, so no one dares to be rude in front of him.

It seems that they want to find a way to visit the black bear tribe, but the black bear tribe is hostile to them - they can only use Fang Luyun.

He found an opportunity to go out to find Fang Luyun, and Fang Luyun also simply said: "It just so happens that the Zhou's caravan has a batch of medicinal materials to be shipped, and they also want to purchase cattle and horses. I will let them go to the Wuxiong tribe once. It's not surprising that they have an exclusive bodyguard team."

Jiang Ning felt a little strange when he heard Zhou's, thought for a while and asked, "Which owner is the Zhou's caravan?"

Fang Luyun's face was slightly embarrassed, and he saw the curtain behind him lifted, and a handsome young man came out with a smile and said, "It's my master." The royal blue fur shirt, the smile makes people feel friendly at first sight, and it's Qingyang County. king.

No matter how good Jiang Ning looked, he was no longer calm: "Does Hou know?"

Fang Luyun said: "Yesterday, I just sent someone to send a letter back... The prince refuses to go back." The other owner of this bodyguard agency is Ji Huaisheng. When I was in the team, people had been there for a few days.

Ji Huaisheng giggled: "I heard that Lord Hou was going to visit Nine Borders, so I went back to Jin in advance to wait for him to come and have a drink together, but the bodyguard of Yangwei Escort Bureau invited by the caravan that day Unexpectedly, there is this Mr. Fang, the deputy general next to General Zhu, a first-class capable person, why he wanted to go to Beiqiu incognito, and he used the way of the Yangwei Escort. Since he used the Yangwei Escort, he must have known about it. I I was curious for a while, so I followed the caravan quietly... Then I found out that the righteous son of Hu Er, who was missing beside our Lord Hou, was actually the heir son of King Changguang... This thing is getting weirder and weirder..."

Jiang Ning looked at Ji Huaisheng: "Prince Qingyang, many people died because they knew too much."

Ji Huaisheng said: "I believe in Zhao Xinhou, if he really wants me to die, then it will be considered that I don't know the person, and my death is not wronged."

Jiang Ning said: "This matter is too dangerous, the county king is too honorable, please go back, and you are a clan, and now you are in Beiqi for no reason, once someone finds out, you will be accused of colluding with foreign countries, how will you justify it at that time? ?”

Ji Huaisheng said: "Unexpectedly, in the past, you couldn't speak a word a day, and you turned out to be so eloquent-I think it's the most suitable thing for me to do now. I am familiar with Hejian County King, and I changed my name to Shang. For many years, others can't handle it, but I can handle it."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, you have a noble status, in case Ji Huaisu kills someone to silence you..."

Ji Huaisheng laughed and said, "Are you stupid? If you really killed someone, it would prove that there is a ghost. He will only avoid me, and will never kill me."

Fang Luyun said: "It's still too risky, the lord should wait for us to investigate first, and then report to the lord when we come back."

Ji Huaisheng said: "Only going there many times will attract the attention of the other party. If the Zhou family doesn't have a big shopkeeper who can handle it, the nobleman will never come out. I will bring the big shopkeeper we are most familiar with here, so it's not a big problem. "

Jiang Ning shook his head, Ji Huaisheng said: "You are really, you two, aren't you in a dangerous situation now?"

Fang Luyun said: "We are ordered to run errands, and the prince is a noble person... In case there is a mistake..."

Ji Huaisheng sneered: "My lord? Do you know what will happen when I become a fan? You are not allowed to go anywhere, and your whole life will be like a living pig in the fan. You are not allowed to leave the city, you must report for any action, and you must report to the local government office every ten days to prove that you have not left the domain without authorization..."

Fang Luyun and Jiang Ning stopped talking.

Ji Huaisheng looked at them, his eyes seemed to be shining: "In my life, this is probably the last chance to participate in a big event!"

"I knew it was not easy for you, Lord Marquis! No matter how you look at it, it is not easy to run such an escort agency properly, so I really made me wait!"

"I have been traveling with caravans since I was six years old. I would rather not be the prince of Lao Shizi, but a young master of the Zhou family who can travel around the world happily!"

"You know shit!"

"Crown Clan, I'm going!"

"Your Marquis can't control me. Waiting for him to report to the emperor, the sky is too high and the emperor is far away. I am of a higher rank than him, so he has to listen to me!"

Ji Huaisheng's face was full of color, and his eyes were shining brightly: "That's the deal."

Jiang Ning and Fang Luyun looked at each other, they could only cup their hands together and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your help."

Ji Huaisheng chuckled and shook his fan: "Don't worry, not many people have seen King Qingyang, but the young master of the Zhou family has friends all over the world!"

Fang Luyun said: "It's still cold, this fan..."

Ji Huaisheng glanced at him: "Business people have to use something to cover their hands, so Zhuge Liang also needs a feather fan!"

Fang Luyun bowed again and again, but Ji Huaisheng said: "I think, if Huai Su is a man of planning, he won't be only in the Wuxiong tribe. Could it be that Wang Ting won't let him go? It's not like his meticulous style, Jiang Ning, you You have to pay attention to whether there are people who look like Nanchao around you—of course, it doesn’t have to be Nanchao, some small people, you noble people may not notice the small people, after all, Beiqi is a tribe, after all, it is a big family, you know me and me Knowing you, it's very eye-catching to an outsider, but it's different for a small person."

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "If it is special, there is a wizard next to the Queen Mother Hu - a male favorite, who is very favored, and wears a mask most of the time, but the wizard also needs to wear a mask when dancing the Nuo dance. It looks like he looks very beautiful, and I heard that Uncle Yuanlun sent her to him, and he seems to be from Dayong."

Ji Huaisheng said: "Beauty tricks, we have a long history, Xi Shi, you should observe carefully and do a good job for your Lord Marquis."

Jiang Ning was a little speechless, cupped his hands slightly and said: "Follow the king's order."

Ji Huaisheng happily waved the fan in his hand: "Then let's get ready."

=====

When Jiang Ning returned to Changguang Palace, he felt exhausted. He would rather face Lord Hou than King Qingyang!

But there was a messenger from the palace saying that the king was looking for him.

When Jiang Ning entered the palace, he saw Bai Yuqi and a row of the king's servants kneeling in the corridor, looking at the son who seemed to be a few leaders from the fox clan who came over, Bai Yuqi saw him winking and begging for help.

Jiang Ning walked in without squinting. Inside, Yuan Zhao was throwing something, and the debris was all over the floor. The servants on the side hid silently and their faces were numb.

Jiang Ning asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing him coming, Yuan Zhao was still depressed, and said angrily: "Today I asked them to do something for me, but the queen mother asked them to go to dinner, and they all went, and came back happily, and praised me How many rewards have I won, and my business is forgotten, is this still mine!"

Jiang Ning asked, "What's the matter? I'll do it for you."

Yuan Zhao glanced at him: "Is that what I care about! It wasn't a big deal at first, but I was angry that they went when the queen mother called out! Who is their master? Grandpa clearly asked them to obey orders." to me!"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "If they disobeyed the queen mother, and the queen mother passed on the spine to beat them like that day, what would the king do?"

Yuan Zhao was silent.

Jiang Ning said: "Your Majesty, bear with it."

Yuan Zhao said with a sullen face, "But I can also let them die!"

Jiang Ning didn't say a word, Yuan Zhao also realized his stupidity, he sat down slumped: "Okay, I know you must be laughing at me for being stupid."

Jiang Ning said: "Now our interests are the same. Your Majesty doesn't have to rush to let the servants stand in line. It is better to give a big profit first. When you are in front of the Queen Mother, you should be filial piety."

Yuan Zhao's face was ferocious: "She and that male favorite are having fun in the palace day and night, how can she still remember having a son!"

Jiang Ning was thoughtful: "That male favorite, have you checked the details?"

Yuan Zhao said: "The lowest servants in the Muye Temple are just good-looking servants who were favored by Uncle Lun and sent in. My mother favors a lot of boys... most of them are lowly slaves."

Jiang Ning didn't speak, Yuan Zhao just felt unbearable, turned his head to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Go and wake them up."

Jiang Ning said: "The king will wake them up after I leave, otherwise they will not understand the king's tolerance, and they should be punished."

Yuan Zhao said: "Are you leaving again? Stay with me for a while?"

Jiang Ning said: "Father has something to order."

Yuan Zhao said: "King Changguang treats you very well."

Jiang Ning said: "There is nothing that should be good by nature, but I can bring him benefits. The king has been obedient for too long, and the queen mother forgot that she is based on you. It is time to remind her."

Why do you want to order your son's attendants?It was clearly caused by an overly strong desire for control. Originally, they depended on each other for life, but the son hated her so much. It can be seen that the temperament is not good. This mother and son are messing with each other, and they always find themselves, which is still a waste of time.

Yuan Zhao's eyes lit up: "Is there anything you can do?"

Jiang Ning said, "I'll think about it."

Yuan Zhao's eyes dimmed slightly: "Unless I was dying of illness, she would panic. When I was a child, I often begged her to sleep with me under the pretext of being sick. Later, she found out that I was sick on purpose, and she was very strict with me. Food, clothes, everything Follow her request, and if there is any disobedience, you will be punished." Day and night, under such suffocating control, he almost went crazy.

Jiang Ning said: "Don't think too much, when you grow up, you are no longer a child who cannot live without your mother."

Yuan Zhao was stunned, glanced at Jiang Ning, remembered that his mother was sold by Queen Mother Hu, and couldn't help but feel guilty for a while: "You have been living outside since childhood...your mother died very early?"

Jiang Ning said, "Yes."

Yuan Zhao didn't speak, and said after a while: "I'm sorry. I heard that the Queen Mother was jealous and sold your mother."

Jiang Ning said: "Nothing, I'll go first."

He got up, Yuan Zhao had no reason to keep him, so he had to watch him salute and leave.After a while, people went out and told the attendants to get up and go back.

Bai Yuqi walked in, smiled and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, we are also doing it for our own lives, and we can't bear the Queen Mother's posture."

After Yuan Zhao and Jiang Ning talked, he was calm again: "It's okay, I know the Queen Mother did it on purpose, she just wanted me to know, I can only listen to her, everything I have belongs to her, I must obediently listen her."

Bai Yuqi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Yuan Zhao laughed: "It means that I gave someone a flower, which made her feel bad."

Bai Yuqi said: "Yes."

Yuan Zhao showed a crazy smile: "I plan to do one more thing to make her angry, but there is nothing I can do about it."

Bai Yuqi was startled: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Zhao said: "Take them with you, and someday wait for that male favorite wizard to be alone and arrest him."

Bai Yuqi was taken aback: "What does Your Majesty want to do?"

Yuan Zhao sneered: "Kill him, what can mother do with me?" His eyes were full of repressed madness.

Bai Yuqi trembled slightly, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, you are a nobleman, don't take life and death lightly." Your Majesty is fine, he must be the one who died!That crazy woman!

Yuan Zhao glanced at him: "Yong people are benevolent and righteous on the surface, that's enough, then cut off his face, I see how she can still sleep, anyway, that person looks suspicious, why don't you go away as soon as possible, today you The prince also asked me if I checked his background."
