Li Daitao

The ranger general who led the team was an old acquaintance with him, and they both wanted to rush back to the capital. When they met, they had to go together, so that they could take care of them along the way.The ranger had a slightly strange look on his face, he found an excuse and refused to go with him.Yi Zhen flew out a few miles earlier with his heart, which meant that he felt a bit hopeless.His reason seemed to be very evasive, but Yi Zhen didn't feel anything wrong.The people on both sides went separately.The group in charge of escorting Emperor Jingwen deliberately avoided him, traveled a little longer on purpose, and rushed to stay in a small town in front of the station.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zhen was eager to go home, and he also missed the station in the big city, and he had to walk forty or fifty li to find a village before staying again.Also live in this town.

This town is not big, there are only one or two decent stores in total, so we will inevitably meet again.This time there was no escape.You Qi couldn't avoid it, he winked at his subordinate Xiao Wei, and saw that the man went down to make arrangements, and then went up to talk to Yi Zhenhan: "I can't think of such a coincidence, but in such a place I met Lord Hou again. Is Lord Hou going to Beijing on urgent business?"

Yi Zhen was in a very good mood, and didn't pay attention to the slight distress on his face. He suppressed a smile and said slowly, "Yes." Even though he said so, his brows and eyes were full of joy Suppressed, looking very happy, You Qi lowered his eyelids, as if he didn't see the happy look on his face.

Everyone settled down at the largest inn in the town, and immediately ordered a table of food in the main hall. Seeing the posture of these people, Xiao Er did not dare to neglect at all, and within a short time, the food was served.

You Qi couldn't push it, so he had to sit on the table for company.

During the meeting, it was necessary to find something to say, talking about the process of the crusade against the traitors, and it was mentioned that Yi Zhen returned to Beijing first this time.

Yi Zhen didn't change his expression, he smiled and said, "I'm going back to see my daughter."

Although Qin Shu's identity has not been revealed to the public, rumors have spread more or less secretly. Anyone in Beijing who has a little bit of information knows vaguely that Marquis Yanzi has got a man to raise him in the mansion. She was also shockingly pregnant with Lord Hou's flesh and blood.Although no one dares to talk about such anecdotes openly, they are still a big topic of conversation after dinner in private.

Now that things have come to an end, Yi Zhen has simply put his face to the test and no longer hides his face, and speaks frankly.He has another thought.Knowing that he has become a father, he also has the vanity mentality of all new fathers, and there is always some inexplicable vanity in his satisfaction.Regardless of whether they are beautiful, ugly, or black, they always think that their children are undoubtedly the best, and they are proud of it without any basis.

On the surface, he spoke calmly, but in fact, he was anxiously waiting to hear a few compliments and congratulations from General Ranger.

Yi Zhen didn't know what he said at all, he could only hear the cold sweat on the back of the Ranger General opposite him, and he was crying in his heart, he couldn't just tell a certain rumor he heard without evidence, but if at this time To flatter him is against his will on the one hand, and on the other hand, if the rumors are true, with Yan Zihou's temperament in the past, once he thinks about today's situation in the future, this ordinary congratulations without reporting the knowledge is enough to cause disaster.

He hesitated a little here, pretending not to know, he had already missed the good opportunity to speak, and if he said anything at this time, it seemed hesitant, but weird.He had no choice but to murmur, and lowered his head to take a sip of mulled wine.

Seeing that he didn't care much, Yi Zhen felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, his interest remained undiminished.Then he smiled and said: "Fortunately, I can go back now and buy the full moon wine in time. At that time, I will invite the general to come and drink the bouillon wine."

Just as he was talking, the soldiers with horses and chariots outside finished taking care of the matter and escorted a person in. It was Emperor Jingwen.

Yi Zhen met this person a few months ago, at least he was considered a person at that time.Thinking about it, the recent days have not been easy, and now he is getting more and more haggard and thin, which is very unbearable to describe.Unkempt and unkempt.

At that time, Yi Zhen only felt that this person was arrogant and rude, and he didn't know how to flatter him. Qin Shu kindly went to see him, but he was going to make a fuss.Then he resented this life.Now I don't even bother to look at him, and just talk to others as if I didn't see him.

Unexpectedly, it was such a person who was almost dragged in, but happened to listen to his words just now, his expression became extremely fierce, and he suddenly struggled, screaming strangely.

Only then did Yi Zhen take a closer look, and it turned out that his body was bound with fine cowhide, and his mouth was gagged with a cloth.Can't speak, can only make strange noises like just now.

Yi Zhen was slightly surprised, and glanced at You Qi.You Qi quickly smiled wryly and said: "Master Hou doesn't know something, this person's mouth is really a bit cruel, so everyone can try to be quiet."

Yi Zhen thought about this person's vicious words and behavior that day, and he felt so convinced in his heart that he couldn't help but smile.On the surface, he put on a show, and said casually: "He was once the king of a country. If you keep his mouth shut like this, don't starve him to death halfway. It's not easy to do business when he returns to Beijing." Emperor Jingwen fell into this position In fact, no matter how much Yi Zhen dislikes him, he doesn't even bother to add insult to injury at this moment, and he has lost his identity for no reason, this is only a joke.

However, to Emperor Jingwen's ears, these words were unavoidably harsh, and Emperor Jingwen stared at Yi Zhen viciously with his eyes widened under his unruly hair.Yi Zhen didn't even bother to look at him, his tone was casual, he only chatted with You Qi.After all, winners and losers, no matter how contemptuous you can be.

General Ranger couldn't even say a word, seeing that he was just sarcastically speaking, he secretly wiped his cold sweat.Hastily waved his hands to let people lead him into the inner courtyard.In my heart, I couldn't help but secretly complained that my subordinates couldn't do things, so why did I bring him in from the main hall, and I ran into Yanzihou at this time.

Seeing his end like this, Yi Zhen couldn't help feeling relieved, and no longer cared about not hearing congratulatory words from You Qi.I drank a few cups at my own discretion, and let go.

He returned to his client, thought about it again, and gradually felt that there was something wrong with his approach.

No matter how you say it, Qin Shu used to be Emperor Jingwen's subordinate after all. Even though the other party was not benevolent, Qin Shu was an out-and-out good minister and always cared about the other party's safety.Right now, as long as he speaks, it will be a breeze for Emperor Jingwen to live more comfortably in the next few days.

After all, these two are master and servant, after all, there should be some affection.He just said a word, but in the future, he will show great affection in front of Qin Shu.

With this in mind, it would be better to be a favor for Qin Shu.Immediately, a bodyguard was called in and asked him to bring some food and drink to Emperor Jingwen, saying that Lord Hou rewarded him.

Hearing this, the follower hesitated and did not immediately follow through.He looked at Yi Zhen, showing a complicated expression hesitating to speak, and said angrily: "Why do you still care about this kind of person, Lord Hou?"

This person is usually considered a relatively silent type, but he is still loyal.It was rare to see him have any opinion on his order.

Yi Zhen couldn't help feeling a little strange, and said with a smile: "He's just a bereaved dog now, and your Lord Marquis has a lot to not bother with him, and it's no big deal to reward him with a meal."

Among the escorted group, one of them was acquainted with the waiting guard from his hometown, and he had a private conversation with him just now when they were eating together.Thinking back, this person became even more reluctant to listen to Yi Zhen's words.

After thinking about it, no matter whether this matter is true or not, Master Hou is still kept in the dark.If someone intentionally spreads rumors and slanders, that's fine. If what's said is true, wouldn't Hou Ye become the laughing stock of the people who deal with it? However, such a thing, and the identity of the person involved, naturally no one dares to come to him for nothing. Gossip.

General Ranger suppressed everyone from saying these things, and this person only told him quietly for the sake of his good relationship with him.After all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper, even if everyone is concealed and Emperor Jingwen is directly handed over to His Majesty, some things must be known to Lord Hou sooner or later.

This guard has been with Yi Zhen for many years, but he doesn't have as many foresight and forethought as others, it's just that he can't see his master suffering such a disadvantage.

He thought for a while, anyway, sooner or later, the rumors would reach Yi Zhen, and he said: "Master Hou doesn't know yet, it seems that this person has some unclear relationship with Qin Shu."

Yi Zhen smiled and said, "Qin Shu used to be his subordinate, so the two have a natural relationship..."

Seeing his misinterpretation, this person didn't know how to explain it, Yi Zhen himself suddenly heard the meaning of the words, the smile froze on his face, and his expression turned cold little by little.

Seeing that this person was about to speak, Yi Zhen's face was ashen, and he shouted decisively: "Shut up! You know what nonsense you are talking about!"

His expression was extremely cloudy, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he stared at the guard: "I know better than anyone else what kind of temperament he is. Don't let me hear any more rumors that slander him, or you will know the consequences!"

Frightened by his momentum, the guard involuntarily took a step back and lowered his head.But he still felt enmity, and said in a low voice: "This is not nonsense from subordinates, it is... Emperor Jingwen said it himself. He spread rumors that Qin Shu had served him, and laughed at Lord Hou for wearing a green hat. I know." The more he spoke, the more angry he became, but Yi Zhen remained silent for a long time.

He was very angry at first, but gradually became a little uneasy in Yi Ling's silence. He paused and said: "He jumped the wall in a hurry, and deliberately ruined the reputation of Lord Hou. He deserves to die. You don't need to pay attention to Lord Hou..."

"Go and prepare some meals." Yi Zhen interrupted unexpectedly, but still ordered.

The guard was so surprised that he couldn't help raising his head, ready to refute.

However, Yi Zhen lowered his eyes slightly, his face was indifferent, and there was not much happiness or anger revealed on it.His eyes fell on his own fingers that were tightly gripping the armrest of the chair. Only he knew how much perseverance he had to use to keep his hands from trembling at this moment, and the turbulent emotion in his heart could no longer be described in words.

Angry to the extreme, he calmed down abnormally.Seeing that the guard was still standing there blankly, he said again: "Go." This kind of calm, almost indifferent attitude is actually more terrifying than a fit of rage.

The guard hesitated for a moment, but he had already stood up and took two steps in the room to calm down a little, and said slowly, "Prepare some meals, and Ben Hou will go to see him in person." His tone Plain, only when he said that word, there was a taste of gnashing of teeth.
