His Royal Highness cannon fodder does not want to be a salted fish

It was early autumn, the sun was shining at noon, and the sun was high in the sky, like a dazzling white jade plate.

The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and the ruts rolled over the hard stone surface and made a rolling sound.A delicately carved carriage is slowly approaching, and the material is made of high-quality purple Shenmu.

Pedestrians passing by could faintly smell a little woody fragrance in the air that hadn't had time to dissipate. Some people couldn't help but look up at the carriage.

The carriage was exquisitely decorated, and it was something that ordinary people could afford. Besides, there were several guards on tall horses waiting in front of them. Could it be that the carriage was from the Qian family or the Liang family?

Their place is on the border of Yanzhou, a poor place, but the Qian family and the Liang family are well-known local tycoons, with tens of thousands of mu of fertile land and rich wealth, so they can naturally show this kind of style.

The driver in front was wearing a black bamboo hat with a wide brim, so it cast a large shadow, and the face of the driver was hidden in the shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.But the aura around him that strangers should not enter makes people can't help shrinking their necks.

"Young master...you don't have to come in person." Xie Li's cold face softened a little, and there was a bit of worry on his face.

Half a month ago, His Highness proposed to personally investigate the disappearance of border materials in Yanzhou. It is a long way to go to Yanzhou, and the journey is tiring, and even His Highness's face is a bit tired.And for the sake of safety, His Highness has to conceal his identity to prevent being targeted by someone with a heart.

Duan Xun was riding behind, seeing what Xie Li said, he rode forward and echoed: "Xie Li's words are right, as the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down, so I just let my subordinates do this kind of thing, why bother?" Do things yourself?"

Duan Xun has also been a part-time official in the garrison of Chengjing over the years. After learning that His Royal Highness is going to Yanzhou to investigate the case, he volunteered to accompany him.

Originally, Tang Liyin had only Xie Li by his side, but considering safety issues, he ordered two military officers to accompany him. After all, this trip to Yanzhou was more of a secret investigation, and it would be inconvenient to bring too many people.And one of the military officers is Duan Xun.

The interior decoration of the carriage is simple and elegant, with only some white pearls and jade decorations. The carriage is spacious enough to accommodate four or five people without crowding, and it is also covered with ice silk brocade. This kind of fabric feels slightly cool to the touch.

Tang Liyin pulled back the white curtain of the carriage, and a wave of heat rushed towards his face, making him frown, glanced at the scenery outside the carriage, and asked aloud, "Where are you now?"

Xie Li was a little helpless, "We're almost at the capital of Yanzhou, just walk five miles ahead."

Apart from Duan Xun and the military officer recommended by him, Xie Li and Lu Yuanling were also traveling with him this time.

Tang Liyin never expected that Lu Yuanling would come.However, since he wanted to hide his identity, he couldn't stand in the open. Therefore, the person in charge of the investigation this time was Lu Yuanling.Moreover, he is the son of the Chengjing family, and his father is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he is highly valued by the emperor, so he will not be looked down upon by others.

Tang Liyin closed the car curtain, put his gaze back on the chessboard in front of him, and glanced at Lu Yuanling sitting across from him inexplicably.

I always feel that the other party has been acting weird recently, usually looking for topics with a playful smile, but now he just purses his lips and doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Master Lu, it's your turn."

Tang Liyin reached out and tapped the white chess piece at the corner of the chessboard. This chess piece was made of high-quality nephrite jade, like curd fat.And the hand pressing on the white chess piece didn't give way too much, it was white and slender, with just the right size of the joints, making the hand lines smooth and graceful, and the blue blood vessels on the back of the hand could be faintly seen, making the hands whiter and more transparent.

Lu Yuanling followed the opponent's hand and raised his head, and his eyes fell into those sparkling peach blossom eyes. The narrow peach blossom eyes should look romantic and affectionate, but on the opponent's body, there was a bit more cold and dignified temperament, and he frowned slightly. The raised slender eyebrows added a bit of innocence to the eyes.

He only felt itching at the base of his ears and a slight heat in his heart.

Lu Yuanling regretted volunteering to follow.But he was not reconciled to being someone else.His Highness did not go to Yanzhou this time with his real identity, but came with him as a cousin of his Lu family.

As far as he knew, Du Youbai, a simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs, also wanted to come. If he didn't come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be a cousin of the Du family.

And he will also ride in the same carriage with His Highness... Thinking of this, the trace of regret that Lu Yuanling had just aroused disappeared invisible.

Thinking of this, he collected himself, raised his hand and dropped his hand.Tang Liyin heard the clear sound of falling, and he took another look at Lu Yuanling. The other party's current state is right, and he was always out of his mind before.

They didn't go on an outing, it wouldn't work if Lu Yuanling kept this attitude.

Tang Liyin glanced at the chessboard with a smile on his face. "you lose."

Before that, Lu Yuanling had been out of his mind, but now even if he tried to make a comeback, he couldn't recover from his previous disadvantage.

This smile removed a lot of the cold temperament before, and the eyes were full of amorous feelings, and a few broken stars could be faintly seen in the eyes like a cold pool, and a starlight was smudged in a piece of thick ink.

Lu Yuanling's eyes darkened a little.He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he knows that he has a strong desire to win, so he strives to do everything well. He is proficient in everything, and he does not allow himself to lose to others.

But now he suddenly felt that if he could make His Highness happy, it would be fine even if he kept losing.

Yanzhou is located in the northeast of Chengjing, close to the northern Xinjiang. It is mountainous, close to the sea, and inconvenient by land.

A few people arrived at Shanyun City, the capital of Yanzhou, and the Yanzhou governor who got the news was already waiting outside the city.Tang Liyin found that these people were obviously divided into two factions. The two largest tycoons in Yanzhou had already taken half of the power in Yanzhou. Even the officials sent by the emperor depended on the faces of these two families.

After all, before the first emperor unified Yi State, this place was full of powerful and powerful. The first emperor eradicated some powerful and ambitious tyrants, while others died before they had time to deal with them. The current emperor has not eradicated the ambition of the powerful. , which in turn made these families even more inflated.

These officials all had smiles on their faces, but no one knew what their plans were behind the scenes.Tang Liyin frowned, thinking that it would not be easy to find out the whereabouts of those military supplies.

After a face-to-face meeting with these officials, Tang Liyin and the others were taken to the courtyard of the state capital to recuperate.

Zhifu and Zhizhou are the two biggest officials in Yanzhou, and one of them is surnamed Liang and the other is surnamed Qian, so the meanings they represent are self-evident.

Lu Yuanling first asked them about the batch of military supplies, and Master Qian talked nonsense about him, obviously hiding something.Master Liang took them to read some files and records, and let them know a lot of useful information.

After nightfall, Tang Liyin and the others returned to their respective residences.

The state capital’s courtyards are no less repaired than those gorgeous gardens. Tang Liyin heard a few crisp wind chimes, followed the sound to find them, and saw a few small bells hanging from the four corners of a gazebo. Shake gently under the blowing.

He found that there was an ancient qin in the pavilion, the body of the qin was gorgeous, and some broken lines could be faintly seen on the qin.Broken lines refer to the broken lines formed on the surface of the piano due to weathering and long-term playing vibration.

In ancient times, someone said: "Guqin is evidenced by broken lines, and it has not lasted for hundreds of years." Therefore, broken lines have also become a symbol of the age of Guqin.

This piano is about three feet six inches long. He put his hand on the body of the piano and stroked it lightly, and it was smooth.He looked around, but he didn't find anyone, and he didn't know who left the piano here.

As soon as he stroked the strings with his hand, the clear strings, like the sounds of nature, poured out from his fingertips, and there was an endless lingering sound, subtle and long.

"Do you like it, young master?" A man's voice suddenly sounded from behind. Tang Liyin turned around and saw a young man sitting on a high wall beside him. He was wearing a long purple robe. Jumped off the wall.

The other party stood in front of Tang Liyin and said softly: "If you like, I can give this piano to the young master as a gift."

Tang Liyin's face turned cold, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"If you don't get paid for nothing, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept the kindness of the young master."

"You don't have to be afraid of me. Actually, we met outside Yunshan City today." The other party sighed, seeing that Tang Liyin really couldn't remember anything, he didn't make things difficult for him, and said bluntly: "I'm The eldest son of the Liang family, Liang Zhao, followed his father today to greet the officials from Chengjing who are in charge of investigating the disappearance of the military equipment."

Liang Zhao put the folding fan in his hand to his lips, evoked a secret smile, and said slowly: "Although that Master Lu is the master, I think that those people are all centered on you, young master."

"After all, eyes can't deceive people..."

Before Liang Zhao finished speaking, he felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and the next second a long sword was pressed against his neck. If he advanced a little, he would see blood immediately.

"Master Liang, you should know what to say and what not to say."

Tang Liyin glanced at him indifferently. In fact, Xie Li and Duan Xun deliberately restrained themselves on the way, and he couldn't see anything. Unexpectedly, Liang Zhao's insight was astonishing.

However, the name Liang Zhao was somewhat familiar.

Tang Liyin frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly remembering that Liang Zhao seemed to be one of the female protagonists in the harem.Liang Zhaoqin is proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and his painting skills are superb. He is best at capturing people's expressions. No wonder he felt that Xie Li and the others looked at him wrongly.

Ever since he met the heroine, this Liang Zhao has never thought about eating or drinking for her, he is willing to take risks for her, stand up for her in everything, and hit a big wall for her!It is said that he painted hundreds of portraits of Wei Qingqing in a year, thinking about it day and night, and of course he was a spare in the end.

Thinking of this, Tang Liyin suddenly had a little more sympathy for this person, but the sword in his hand still did not come down.In the original book, Liang Zhao is obedient to Wei Qingqing and will not do anything that is not good for Wei Qingqing, but he is not Wei Qingqing.

Not as attractive as the heroine.

It is not known whether Liang Zhao approached him out of good intentions or malice, so naturally he should not take it lightly.

"Of course I know, but if the son kills me, not only will it be difficult for you and your people to get out of Yanzhou, but I'm afraid you will never know the whereabouts of those military supplies." Liang Zhao is obviously very confident.

It's just that a pair of eyes stuck to him like glue, as if trying to see a hole in his face, this kind of eyes made Tang Liyin uncomfortable.

"The disappearance of military supplies has something to do with the Liang family?" Tang Liyin glanced at him indifferently.

"Of course not." Liang Zhao shook his head again and again, "The Liang family will not do things that are not good for Dayi or His Majesty, but the Qian family is not sure. His Highness must have seen Mr. Qian's perfunctory before. Without the help of the Liang family...you must have spent a lot of effort to find out the real information."

Tang Liyin took the sword back. Although he didn't fully believe Liang Zhao's words, the other party also gave him an idea.The disappearance of military supplies in Yanzhou must have something to do with these two families, maybe one of them, maybe both of them were involved.

However, the two families of Qian and Liang have had grievances for generations, and it is not like they can cooperate. If one of them does something, the opponent of the old rival must have more information and evidence in their hands.

"What's your purpose?" Tang Liyin glanced at Liang Zhao, this person would definitely not come to help him for no reason.

"I said it before I came down, and I want to have a good relationship with the young master." Liang Zhao sighed.

"Not telling the truth?"

"That's indeed the truth." Liang Zhao secretly said: Or he said that he would come because he wanted to find an excuse to say a few words to the other party.

Seeing that Tang Liyin didn't believe it, Liang Zhao complained: "If it is really found out that the Qian family is related to the batch of missing military supplies, how about getting rid of the Qian family completely? Let the Liang family become the only big family in Yanzhou."

Tang Liyin was not surprised by this answer, it can be said that it was expected, and he was more convinced than the previous reasons of wanting to applaud him.

If the Qian family really stole the military supplies that the imperial court rushed to aid the frontier, they would no longer be tolerated by the imperial court, and it would be a matter of time before they were removed.

Seeing that the other party seemed to really consider what he said, Liang Zhao thought of making fun of it.

"My lord, just now I said that it was the way others looked at you that exposed you, but what I find most interesting is that when Mr. Lu looked at you, it didn't look like the way he looked at his cousins... It’s not like a subordinate looking at a superior.”

"What?" Tang Liyin blinked, his face full of confusion.

"It's like looking at someone's eyes." Liang Zhao is obviously very confident in himself. He has seen countless people, and he is most sensitive to the expressions and eyes of others, especially this kind of love affairs. I am afraid that there is no one in Yanzhou better than him. understand more.

What kind of secret liking is it?

The author has something to say: Master Wei will come out in the next chapter.
