After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

Hexi Lane house.

When Lu Yanhe entered the door, he almost didn't think that he was back in the Southern Border Central Army camp.

In the middle of the room, where the book case was originally placed, there was a huge sand table at this time, and the two-color flags symbolizing Daqi and Southern Zhou were densely planted.

And the desk that was dragged away from the center was not idle, it was full of all kinds of military papers, and it looked a bit overwhelmed.

The whole room was filled with random words and busy words, very much like the old days in southern Xinjiang and the current style.

"Grandpa, we are going to inspect southern Xinjiang, not to take down Nanzhou." Lu Yanhe sighed, looking at the man who was sitting on the grand master's chair who couldn't put down the book and even gave him a stingy look, and persuaded him.

Qin Ye has been slacking off since returning to Beijing. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not perform many duties that should be his duties.But recently, I don't know what's wrong, but I have become diligent.

Lu Yanhe saw with his own eyes that his father-in-law not only read the Southern Xinjiang Military Daily, he also read Beidi's!

Not only that, he also wrote a letter to Gu Mingxuan, Duke of Ningguo who was in the western Xinjiang to discuss the military situation!

Thanks to the fact that Gu Mingxuan and his father-in-law fought with each other since they were young, they often flew pigeons to pass letters and scold each other, otherwise the emperor might be suspicious again.

However, Qin Ye didn't care about the turbulent waves in Lu Yanhe's heart. He just flipped to the next page and asked, "Is there any clue about the spies in the house?"

Ever since he realized that someone had given him medicine after the last acupuncture, Qin Ye was very careful about eating and drinking utensils.

He wrote to ask the old department to investigate the cooks and cooks who were used to provide Chinese military tents in the old army. He also asked people to pay special attention to the mansion, and finally narrowed the scope of investigation to a group of servants who served closely in the Dingguo mansion.

Now that we are about to travel, there should always be a conclusion.

Lu Yan and Wen Yan straightened their expressions, and said, "My father-in-law hasn't returned home for several days. People in the Zhiwei hall are very emotional. There are many people who send news outside, but there are only two people who are really suspected."

"These two people are not traveling together, and they are very careful in their actions. If you don't pay attention for a long time, you will not be able to see it. And looking at the number of roads, they both seem to be..."

There was no one around, Lu Yanhe still lowered his voice.

"In the palace."

With the expected answer, Qin Ye just hummed, as if he didn't care, and ordered: "It's good to know the identity, and there is no need to startle the snake."

Lu Yan and Gong Sheng responded, and persuaded: "Since the matter has been found out, it is the New Year's Eve, and it is better for the father-in-law to return to his residence. It is not good to live outside for such a long time."

Lu Yanhe already had a vague idea of ​​Qin Ye's thoughts.

His father-in-law is a good player in war, and he is not inferior in conspiracy and tricks, but he is blank in love affairs.

Obviously the crown prince also likes you, why are you rushing so hard?Wouldn't it be better to be more reserved!

reserved!

Lu Yanhe thought he was tactful enough to persuade him, but he didn't know which string Qin Ye had touched. The man snorted and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that I was the prince's concubine?"

"Is there any reason in this world that the outer room is not waiting for the master's house?"

These two yin and yang words almost scared Lu Yanhe to the ground.

A few days ago, he paid a terrible price for being quick-spoken. Qin Ye was taken aback for a few breaths, then smiled meaningfully, and directly dragged him to "point out martial arts" in the courtyard.

The kind of pointing to the flesh.

A little cold sweat oozes from Lu Yan and his back, he laughed dryly twice and was about to blurt it out, when Qin Ye's original expression of impatience turned into surprise, he gestured a finger to his lips, signaling him to keep silent.

-

Xie Heng and Gu Mingzhao walked into the gate one after the other, and saw the scene in the courtyard.

The thick snow and ice on the ground were all swept away, and a few servants stood far away from the main house, as if they were chatting, while the two carved wooden doors of the main house were tightly closed, looking desolate and uninhabited. scene.

Gu Mingzhao frowned.

He took a step behind, turned around and glanced at the carriage in front of the courtyard, and said: "Your Highness, we have many courtyards in Beijing, and servants usually sweep them. Even if this is to hide from King Jin, you don't have to come to Hexi Lane."

The house in Hexi Lane was originally placed by the prince casually, and he didn't like to live in it. He only sent a few idle servants over to look after the house. It has been idle for a long time.

The crown prince was afraid of the cold and raised Jingui, so he pretended to go out with only a few people with him, and there was a lack of everything here, so what if he suffered from the cold again?

Xie Heng coughed and said with a smile: "Xie Ke knows all the places he often goes to. He is always willing to let go, so I don't want to bump into him."

"That's right," Gu Mingzhao snorted, "I've never seen anything like this before. He beat out the imperial physician sent by His Majesty, saying that he was too sick to see strangers, and then came to us with a veil to negotiate terms. It's a shame." He figured it out."

King Xie Ke of Jin wasn't really that stupid either, he was nestling in his mansion for the past few days to "raise the wind and cold", and by the way, he sent someone to find out which wife was the one who beat someone in the flower boat that day.

The aristocratic families in Tangjing who are so hot-tempered and good at raising animals can count them on their fingers, so there is not much room for investigation.

Xie Ke came to his senses after digging three feet to find no one.

What the hell kind of fierce madam brazenly slapped her husband on a flower boat because of her husband's jealousy?

It was definitely the aphrodisiac drug that his prince brother took in Ren Ming Palace that day for revenge!

He just beat him, and he waited until the critical moment of the Southern Xinjiang matter to beat him, and he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of the house.

Killing two birds with one stone is simply vicious.

Xie Ke, who wanted to understand, ran to the East Palace in a fit of rage, covered with a black veil, and told him that if the crown prince didn't give him compensation...for example, to help keep Ning Xun to inspect the salt administration in Huai County, he would live in the East Palace. gone.

Xie Heng ignored him directly, and then got a headache from this man's shameless quarrel, and drove out of the palace gate in a carriage.

On the carriage, Gu Mingzhao asked Xie Heng where he was going. Xie Heng thought for a while about which private house Xie Ke didn't know about, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply ran to Hexi Lane.

Xie Heng thought to himself, since Qin Ye never handed over the secret letter to the palace, it should not be here.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Ye.

The man didn't know if he was very sleepy, and he was wearing a thin outer robe, leaning on the pillow halfway, propping his chin on his elbows, his eyes slightly closed.

The warm sun outside the window slanted in, falling on the almost flawless and handsome profile, so beautiful that people dare not disturb it.

Xie Heng stood by the door and blinked.

The furnishings in the house are still the same as when he came last time, the smoke from the incense burner on the table curls up, and the faint Canaan fragrance wafts around, filling the room with a rich fragrance.

Business as usual.

Only Lu Yanhe was standing by the side to pack up the paperwork. Seeing the prince coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and then lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, my lord was a little late reading the paperwork last night. I think I can't hold on today." Just fell asleep, do you think you want to call?"

Lu Yanhe didn't know why he had fallen to such a point.

God knows, his family's father-in-law, who has never been very respectful to Emperor Hui, panicked when he heard the footsteps of the prince clearly.

Qin Ye first looked around, looked at the messy paperwork and frowned and asked him: "If your Highness sees such a situation, will you think that I don't like Jie too much?"

Lu Yanhe said "It should be fine" still stuck in his throat, and then Qin Ye said again: "I usually come out to greet His Highness when he comes here, if he doesn't go out today, will it be too eye-catching?"

No, the horoscope has not been written yet, why is the father-in-law worrying about gains and losses!

Lu Yanhe watched helplessly as his father-in-law took off his outer robe and put it on his body, and then he adjusted his posture carefully to ensure that the curve of his profile was good.

And he could only tidy up the mess in the room while listening to the prince's footsteps approaching.

Naturally, he can also play a little temper and let the prince see how careless the world-famous Duke Ding is when he is busy, but he is afraid that the prince will walk away, and the prince will have another "teaching martial arts" with him.

This is not very good.

After hearing Lu Yanhe's words, Xie Heng had a thought in his mind.

With Qin Ye's high martial arts skills, would he really allow a person to come within ten steps of him without noticing it?

Xie Heng hesitated for a moment, not thinking about whether to make a sound, but saw that the person leaning on the chair who seemed to be asleep seemed to be aware of the gaze, and finally rubbed his eyes sleepily, and looked over.

"Your Highness?" Qin Ye asked in surprise.

Xie Heng met Qin Ye's pitch-black pupils, easily saw the bloodshot eyes, and was taken aback for a moment.

He knew that this person had recently changed his slack temperament after entering Beijing, and he also knew that this person was busy with going to southern Xinjiang with him. At this moment, seeing Qin Ye working so hard for him, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Is it really too tired to notice?

Xie Heng let go of the hesitation in his heart, and said apologetically: "Is it a lonely one, disturbing Duke Ding."

"Don't disturb." Qin Ye said quickly without thinking.

The words were answered quickly and urgently, the crown prince raised his eyebrows unsurprisingly, Qin Ye hurriedly made amends: "I'm about to go out, I don't live in the mansion in order to catch the poisoned person. There are few people in this house, It is also lonely on weekdays, it would be better for His Highness to come more, so as not to disturb you."

……

Outside the house, Lu Yanhe, who had just walked out with Gu Mingzhao, couldn't hold back a laugh, coughed, and finally let out a low laugh after closing the two doors.

Gu Mingzhao didn't understand why, so he asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yanhe shook his shoulders with a smile, but he refused to say anything, just said: "It's nothing, I just feel..."

"No matter what my father-in-law does, he is very similar and serious."

-

Yunliang Building.

In the lobby on the first floor, Qin Shuo was drinking alone, and was already a little drunk.

This is the most prestigious restaurant in Tangjing, and the price of a table is no less than a hundred gold, which cannot be supported by Qin Shuo's salary as a mere fourth-rank official.

It's just that if the heart is sad, a little money is nothing.

Qin Shuo knew in his heart that if he didn't catch the prince's opportunity to tour the southern border this time, he might just stay in the position of this little Huwei general for the rest of his life, without making any progress.

The reason is simple, he has no world-shattering talents, and the Qin family's foundation is in southern Xinjiang.

Everyone said that Duke Ding Qin Ye joined the army at the age of 14. He led the army alone for the first time and defeated the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

But how many people remember that before Qin Ye, although the Marquis of Wuning and the Qin family were not considered the leaders of the Southern Border Army, they still had a solid foundation for several generations?

Xianwu Ninghou despised his son's incompetence and acted absurdly, so he passed his contacts directly to his grandson, and also cut off his Qin Shuo's chance to be promoted to a noble and make meritorious deeds against the enemy!

As long as Qin Ye is still in the position of governor of Southern Xinjiang, at what point will he be able to use the Qin family's connections?

Qin Shuo took a sip of wine sullenly, imagining the possibility of Qin Ye's sudden sudden death in his mind, when he saw a man dressed as a servant walking towards him with precise aim, and bowed.

"Master Qin, drink loneliness alone, my lord invites you to go over and talk about it."

Qin Shuo looked at the boy with hazy eyes, and asked without interest: "Who is your master?"

"The commander in front of the palace, Mr. Song Qian Song."
