King's Landing [Rebirth]

Xie Zhuo originally wanted to send his subordinates to Guiyang County, but after much deliberation, he was still uneasy, and finally decided to go there himself.

Entering Guiyang County, he vaguely felt a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and the closer he was to the palace, the more obvious this atmosphere became. Thinking of Sima Rong's confident appearance, Xie Zhuo's mind moved, and he was even more careful when entering the palace. Observing, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

All the great families in the Jin Dynasty had trilogy, and tribunes were private soldiers, serving as military service during times of war, as tenant farmers during busy farming seasons, and as guards in the government in their spare time.Sima Shan was conferred the title of King Jing, and it is not surprising that there are so many parts in the majestic palace. The strange thing is that these parts seem to be very disciplined, and their demeanor and behavior are completely different from those of ordinary aristocratic families. With a large army, its strength should not be underestimated.

While Xie Zhuo was shocked, he couldn't help but admire this King Jing who had always been called a rough man.King Jing has been close to Sima Rong since he was a child, and now that he is so meticulous, it is possible that Sima Rong's suggestion is indispensable. If Sima Rong is really impersonated by an irrelevant person, how can King Jing agree at will?I'm afraid that if he is the first one, he won't be able to spare that person!

Xie Zhuo is temporarily not sure whether he should believe that nonsense, but seeing King Jing's potential strength, it is indeed a good way to join forces with them. Thinking about it this way, he has already had calculations in his heart before getting out of the carriage .

Sima Shan had very little contact with the Xie family, so he was surprised to see Xie Zhuo's sudden visit, so he hurriedly invited him in, asked someone to serve tea, and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Xie came here this time?"

Xie Zhuo said with a smile: "Although the next official is the second prince's uncle, he seldom visits him due to the inconvenience of entering the palace, so he feels very guilty. This time he heard that he came to the fiefdom with King Jing, so I took the opportunity to come and see him. he."

Sima Shan paused with a smile: "Ah...Second brother is recuperating in the mountains at this time, Master Xie really wants to see him?"

Xie Zhuo was stunned: "In the mountains?"

"Exactly." The smile on Sima Shan's face was quite bright, and he was obviously very happy. "This king found a supernatural doctor in the mountains. There is a medicinal spring there, which is very suitable for my second brother."

When Xie Zhuo heard it, his face immediately brightened: "So there is such a good thing? No wonder King Jing wanted to bring him here! If it is convenient, I really hope to meet him."

Sima Shan showed hesitation on his face, raised his hand and scratched his chin, and was thinking about finding an excuse to retreat or something, so he heard him laughing: "Does King Jing want to refuse to be dismissed?"

"Hahaha, of course not!" Sima Shan quickly denied, "It's just that the genius doctor has a weird temper and doesn't like others to disturb his cleanliness, so I don't dare to bother him."

"That's it..." Xie Zhuo nodded, "To be honest, the official came here this time because of the entrustment of Mr. Yan Qing who is next to the Prime Minister..."

"..." Sima Shan's eyes widened in shock, "Did you see him?!"

Xie Zhuo raised his eyes, took a panoramic view of his expression, and became more determined in his heart, so he roughly recounted the secret conversation between Sima Rong and himself in the forest, and finally said: "I don't know what King Jing wants to say. ?”

Sima Shan didn't expect that his second younger brother would be so bold, and he was not afraid that the Xie family's sloppy tongue would make a big fuss, so he froze for a long time before he said stiffly: "This king believes him... well, since Mr. Xie already knew about it, Then it’s okay if I take you to the mountains to have a look.”

Xie Zhuo smiled slightly and cupped his hands in thanks.

After entering the mountain, I saw a simple wooden house in the dense forest. Before I got close, I could smell the fragrance of various medicinal herbs from a distance. For an hour, I was resting in the house at this time.

When Sima Shan entered, Yuan Sheng was leaning on the bamboo couch, with a thin book in his hand, chanting words, as if he was explaining medical principles, while an old man with white beard stood by the window, smiling with his back listen carefully.

Sima Shan respected the old man very much, and he was the first to salute him when he entered the door.

Yuan Sheng raised his head when he heard the voice, quickly put down the booklet in his hand, leaned over and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jing."

Xie Zhuo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the "His Royal Highness King Jing".

Yuan Sheng was startled when he saw a person he had never met following behind him. Knowing that he had accidentally slipped his mouth, he immediately showed panic and looked at Sima Shan cautiously, hesitating whether to change his mouth and shout "Brother Huang!" ".

Sima Shan waved his hand indifferently.

They didn't stay in the wooden house for a long time, Xie Zhuo just took care of him as an uncle, and then followed Sima Shan down the mountain, thinking all the way: the two of them really look exactly the same, but the one in the wooden house is a bit weaker Well, the one in the woods is indeed more like his nephew, no matter whether they are acting or not, since they have reached a consensus with each other, so what if he treats that one as real?

Back at the palace, Xie Zhuo looked at Sima Shan who was walking steadily in front of him, and smiled: "I don't know if King Jing has something to tell the second prince?"

Sima Shan showed joy on his face, and said happily: "I am suffering from not being able to leave the fief, otherwise I would have gone to see him a long time ago. Since it is convenient for the magistrate, why not send a letter for me." He rolled up his sleeves and started to write like a fluttering pen.

Xie Zhuo turned his gaze and saw that there was a long scar on his arm, and it looked like a new wound, so he couldn't help being surprised: "When did King Jing get hurt?"

Sima Shan followed his gaze, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he grinned again: "This king has a lot of destiny, if he hadn't practiced martial arts for many years, he might have to be carried into the fief this time. "

Xie Zhuo was even more surprised when he heard that: "King Jing has always been kind to others, how could such a thing happen? Who is so bold as to assassinate King Jing?"

"It's not about assassinating me, it's aimed at Yuan Sheng. I can't let him get hurt, so I blocked the knife for him in a hurry."

Xie Zhuo understood immediately when he heard it, and then his face darkened: "The second prince is already sick and weak, and they still refuse to let it go, they have to cut the grass and roots before they give up!"

Sima Shan sneered: "It is precisely because the second younger brother has survived to this day in a sick and weak body that they are made to be jealous every day and be on the alert every night. Now that they have finally left the palace, the opportunity is once in a thousand years, how can they let it go? But now After entering the fiefdom, they have to think twice if they want to make trouble again."

Sima Rong's lingering illness was all due to Empress Yu's gift. This is a matter of mutual understanding. It's just that the emperor's favor is biased, and they can't produce evidence, so they still can't do anything about the Yu family. According to the plan, only by getting rid of the prince can the Yu family be completely ruined.

Empress Yu used some vicious tricks in the palace, which ruined Sima Rong's future, and even ruined Xie's hope. Hate it to the bone.

Now that such a good opportunity was in front of him, Xie Zhuo certainly didn't want to let it go, so he left after taking the letter, and ordered someone to hand it over to Sima Rong.

Sima Shan didn't explain too much in the letter, he only briefly talked about Yuan Sheng's situation, the strength of the fiefdom's troops, and the incident of being assassinated on the way, but he didn't mention a word about his injuries. I think it's okay.

That night, Pei Liang stood in front of Wang Shuzhi with a worried expression on his face, and said respectfully, "Prime Minister, are you sure you don't want to check on Mr. Yan Qing? Last time he met the prefect Xie privately in Yongkang County, this time he was taken away again in the market place." A letter, and the person who sent the letter is the confidant of Xie Taishou..."

"En." Wang Shuzhi responded casually, resting Ruyi on his forehead and fell into deep thought. The candlelight in front of the case was reflected in his pair of deep pupils, which made many complicated thoughts thick and colorful, and slowly entangled and lingered, as if Feeling restless.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Pei Liang hesitated and said, "Prime Minister..."

Ruyi in Wang Shuzhi's hand waved lightly, and then fell into deep thought again.

Yan Qing is not Yuan Sheng, this can be guessed from Lu Zixiu's expression last time, but how can he pretend to be Yuan Sheng?Disguise?There were many strange things about him, but this time he met Xie Zhuo in secret... It would be a lie to say that he had no doubts, but he didn't want to delve into it. Once he did, the trust he held in his heart would completely collapse.

Pei Liang has followed Wang Shuzhi for many years, seeing him so uncertain for the first time, he couldn't help but feel even more worried: "Prime Minister, don't act emotionally."

Wang Shuzhi came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled softly: "You don't have to worry so much, the Xie family has always been neutral in the court, and we have never had any grudges with our Wang family, what's more, Yan Qing is not like Xie's arrangement. With his mind, it is impossible for him to become Xie's pawn."

Pei Liang froze for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. Last time in the forest, when Mr. Yan Qing was talking to Prefect Xie, his expression and demeanor were not half-subdued or petty. But my subordinates I thought that he must have something to hide, but I don't know if it will harm the Prime Minister, in my humble opinion, the Prime Minister should be more careful about him, it is best..."

"No investigation." Wang Shuzhi got up and flicked his sleeves, "I know you are loyal, but this matter is over, don't follow him secretly in the future."

"Prime Minister!" Pei Liang was shocked.

Wang Shuzhi waved his hand at him, with a faint smile in his eyes: "It's not all because of emotions. He is by my side and has been advising me so far. Even if he intends to use me, it's just the same purpose as mine. It doesn't mean anything to me." Any effect. As for the future... well, let's take a gamble."

Pei Liang didn't understand, so he asked, "What are you betting on?"

"Heart!" Wang Shuzhi sighed with a smile, and stepped out of the door.

The night was thick, Wang Shuzhi walked towards Sima Rong with a little bit of starlight, pushed the door in, and saw him sitting under the lamp reading a book, his face was as quiet as the night, when he looked up, those black eyes were like the night sky outside Generally, bottomless.

Sima Rong put down his book and got up to greet him: "Prime Minister."

Wang Shuzhi closed the door with his backhand, looked at him with a quiet smile, and when he came close, he suddenly pulled him over and hugged him, turned around and pressed him against the door panel, leaning over to cover a shadow, without giving him any reaction Opportunity, kiss him deeply on the lips.

Sima Rong was caught off guard by his sudden attack, and before he had time to startle and resist, he made him forget about the kiss, subconsciously clenched his hands, but never raised them to push him away.

Small sparks burst out from the candle wick, and there were some ambiguous panting sounds in the room. Wang Shuzhi let him go, turned sideways slightly, and let the dim light shine on his face.

Sima Rong quickly looked away, but the intense emotion in his eyes had not had time to withdraw.

Wang Shuzhi looked at him for a moment, with a bright smile and a deep voice: "I want to see how long you can last."
