The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

After Xiao Jiuqin said this, everyone looked at him in the wrong way. In their eyes, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin were old enemies. The two of them had a family feud and could not reconcile.

But now this person trusted Bai Yan as if he had been bewitched and spoke for him. Not only the people in Yingdu, but even the passing official carriages stopped to listen to the excitement for a while.

Song Que heard a lot of news these days, and looked at Xiao Jiuqin strangely.

Xiao Jiuqin didn't care what others thought, he tightly clasped Bai Yan's arm and took him away, the surrounding people were noisy, Song Que held his injured arm, looked at the backs of the two of them from afar, feeling uneasy know what to think.

Perhaps in Song Que's heart, Bai Yan had bad intentions, but only Bai Yan knew that apart from other factors, he wanted Zeng Xuan, and it was from the bottom of his heart.

After Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin left, they did not return to the mansion, but continued to send people to look for Bai Yan, and specially called a few secret pillars to find out what was going on in the palace.

Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin's worries were not unreasonable.If the emperor knew that Song Que made a fuss in the Grand Master's Mansion because of the power struggle, he would definitely be furious.

Although the content of the edict was unclear, Bai Yan guessed that the content was definitely not to save Zeng Xuan.

There are thousands of disciples, the emperor has been afraid of Grand Master Yun these years, but this does not mean that anyone can provoke Grand Master Yun, once Yun Zhong takes this opportunity to sue Song Que in front of the emperor, even if Song Que is the prince, the emperor will not be able to For him, he and Grand Master Yun torn faces.

On the other hand, Zeng Xuan is Song Que's reverse scale, and also Song Que's weakness. When the emperor knows that there is such a person as Zeng Xuan, it hinders Song Que from climbing up.So for the ruthless emperor, the existence of Zeng Xuan was an obstacle.

Even if he doesn't attack Zeng Xuan now, he will use the power of the Grand Master's Mansion to kill Zeng Xuan ruthlessly.

In fact, Bai Yan guessed that Song Que might have wanted to warn Grand Master Yun from the very beginning, his temperament was unruly and not as gentle as Wei Chengdan, if Wei Chengdan was harmless, then Song Que had sharp knives everywhere.

Although Song Que was not wrong to a certain extent, but thinking about it carefully, the current situation does not allow him to do so.

The Yun clan is now very powerful, even if there are no two princes and a queen, Grand Master Yun himself has countless disciples, once Song Que offends him, all the people under him can drown him with their saliva.

In any case, Song Que has not gained a firm foothold yet, and it is not good to be too arrogant.

The two of them spoke a few more words, and Bai Yan's eyes froze suddenly, "You see, that person is..."

"Wei Chengju?"

Xiao Jiuqin's eyesight was excellent, and from a distance, he saw Wei Chengju going around and entering an alley, and vaguely watched a courtyard door open.

"He is a prince, how can he..."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

"Go, let's take a look." Bai Yan said as he was about to go there, but was grabbed by Xiao Jiuqin, Xiaohou Lord motioned him to look aside, "Look, there are already people surrounding him, it looks like it's his private guards ..."

"If you didn't have bad intentions, why would you be so defensive?" Bai Yan faintly felt that he had discovered something.

Xiao Jiuqin looked around vigilantly, and his eyes fell on a certain place, "We don't need to look, someone has already realized it."

"Huai Chun?" Bai Yan frowned slightly.

"You do know a lot about Huaichun." Xiao Houye's mouth was sour, Bai Yan gave him a look, "Don't think about it."

"Fortunately, we are not far away from getting married, otherwise I would be vomited to death sooner or later." Lord Xiao Hou is not good, but he is very honest when he is jealous.

Bai Yan was helpless, and followed his strength to walk in another direction.

The two of them refused to let go of this opportunity, so they sat down at an inconspicuous tea stand.

"Do you feel that there is something wrong with the recent situation?"

As Bai Yan was talking, he suddenly thought of something. He kept his eyes on the alley, and various speculations flashed in his mind.

Xiao Jiuqin was also slightly shocked when he heard the words.

He looked at Bai Yan for a while before saying: "Recently, the struggle between Song Que and Wei Chengdan has become somewhat obvious, even deliberate. Even if the emperor didn't speak up, the courtiers were still talking about it, and as far as today is concerned, regardless of Grand Master Yun's Zeng Xuan was not held hostage, and Song and Wei did have conflicts because of Zeng Xuan."

"I thought of a sentence..." Bai Yan met Xiao Jiuqin's gaze.

"You mean... the fisherman wins when the snipe and the clam fight?"

"Correct."

Bai Yan nodded, I didn't think much about it before, but look at each time due to various reasons, Song Que and Wei Chengdan fought and confronted again and again.No matter which one of them benefits more because of these battles, but in essence, both of them lose, so I am thinking, who is the most beneficial besides the two of them now?

"Wei Chengfeng?" Xiao Jiuqin hesitated.

Bai Yan nodded and shook his head again, "Look, according to our usual thinking, the first thing that comes to mind at this moment is Wei Chengfeng...but this time he is indeed somewhat innocent."

"So you mean...not him."

"Of course it's not him," Bai Yan sipped his tea, "Wei Chengfeng is in the palace with Concubine Feng now, not to mention you and me, even Huai Chun and the others are keeping an eye on Wei Chengfeng, in case he makes any trouble."

"How can a person who is closely watched cause so many troubles."

"So if it's him, Huai Chun has already made a move at this time, not to mention others, even Grand Master Yun can't ignore it."

"If it's not Wei Chengfeng, who is it?" Xiao Jiuqin thought about all the princes in the palace, and finally came to a conclusion, "There are quite a few princes who are underage, but it seems that there are not many adults who can compete with Wei Chengdan for the crown prince." No."

"You forgot someone you just met..."

"Wei Chengju?"

"Yes, it's Wei Chengju. We ignored him before, because Wei Chengju has been rebellious over the years, most of the time he is ruthless and domineering, and he doesn't like to stand out when he does what he wants, so we ignored him."

"Many people have the same idea, thinking that according to his performance, the emperor cannot pass on the throne to him, but we never thought that if neither Wei Chengdan nor Song Yan can be loved by the emperor, or if neither of them exists, then Who will be the last suitable prince?"

Xiao Jiu and Qin fell silent.

"Of course these are just conjectures. As a prince, it's normal for Wei Chengju to have his own secrets, but once my conjecture is established, then we people have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning."

Xiao Jiuqin looked at Bai Yan's side face, "If your guess is correct, then we will tell Huai Chun and Song Que..."

"It's useless, only what they find out is what they believe most." Bai Yan pulled his lips, "The two of us are not standing on anyone's side now, which means that we are not trusted by both of them .”

"Then how do we do it? Now Huai Chun doesn't know if it's just speculation or he already has conclusive evidence."

Bai Yan took a look into the seemingly calm but actually choppy alley.

"It's better to wait and see what happens. We just need to collect evidence and investigate what we know. As for how the two of them will deal with it later, we can only figure it out slowly, or secretly pass them some evidence."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other again, and a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Yan's mouth, "Actually, the past is not much better than the present."

Xiao Jiuqin also followed his gaze to look at the deep alley, and rarely sighed, "In fact, it's better to go to northern Xinjiang, where they are busy fighting every day, so there is no time to think about harming people."

Lord Xiao Hou was a little tired from using his brain, "Things that waste your brain are not easy to do."

Bai Yan disagreed, "It's good to spend brains, sometimes I can't beat them, and taking advantage of words can also make me feel comfortable."

He said this frankly, Xiao Jiuqin knew that Bai Yan was really bad at practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was smart in learning the Four Books and Five Classics.

Thinking back to those years, the two are actually two people who are extremely complementary to a certain extent. One is not perfect in humanities and can speak eloquently, while the other is quick to fight and endorse books to death. Comparable.

"It's really not easy for you, the censor, to be up to now. I have heard of your reputation in northern Xinjiang. You satirized the elders of the three dynasties so much that you almost vomited blood, or you smashed some old princes in court. Others Everyone thinks you are cruel and ruthless, but I think you are just good at speaking."

After hearing this, Bai Yan suddenly looked at Xiao Jiuqin, "Is it just your mouth?"

His eyes were gloomy, but Xiao Jiuqin was slightly taken aback.

Bai Yan looked around, suddenly pulled Xiao Jiuqin to the other side, and at the same time took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, the two quickly disappeared in place.

Not long after, the two reappeared in a small inn next to the alley. This small inn only had two floors, and they chose the room closest to the alley.

"I seem to have seen Huai Chun's private guard..." Xiao Jiuqin thought that Bai Yan changed positions to make it easier to investigate the situation.

Bai Yan pouted, "Did you only see Huaichun's private guard?"

When Master Bai said this, his hand was still pressing Lord Xiaohou's chest. If it wasn't for the inconspicuous caressing of his chest, Lord Xiaohou would almost have suspected that he was delusional.

"See what I'm doing?" Bai Yan's face was calm. Not only that, but he turned to look at Xiao Jiuqin, "It's important, don't think about what you have or what you don't have."

Master Xiao Hou was beaten up, he was amused.

He looked down at Mr. Bai, and smiled slightly, "I don't want to think about it, but someone's hand is really out of place."

"I can't help it? Look at your reaction now. Is it true that whenever someone has such an ambiguous behavior in northern Xinjiang these years, you will follow suit..."

His voice was relaxed, and Xiao Jiuqin knew that what he said was just for fun, so he followed his tone and said,

"Master Bai really wronged me, I'm not as good as someone who attracts bees and butterflies everywhere...Master Bai, do you know that since the news of your marriage and my marriage spread, I don't know how many people spread gossip , what are you talking about, I am a reckless man, I am not good enough for you..."

The sourness in his mouth was too obvious, he intentionally showed his pity and hugged people over and kissed him thoroughly, and then said like a resentful woman, "It's just a kiss like this, it really makes me unable to relax my vigilance, even if someday You've been hooked."

Bai Yan was speechless: This is installed...

"Then what do you think is enough?"

"Of course...to be turned into a red wave, to be kissed by me..."

Master Xiao Hou smiled strangely.
