The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun rushed to Xie Mansion to find Xie Wenyuan, but was told by the housekeeper that Xie Wenyuan had already rested.

Zhong Qiyun wandered back and forth in front of Xie Wenyuan's room for a long time. On the way back just now, he asked that brother Bai Lan several times about what happened in Chu Tower, but he didn't know whether to praise Xie Wenyuan's subordinates. Fang, no matter what he asked, Bai Lan didn't tell him a word, as quietly as a log that could walk.

There are too many things in his heart that he wants to ask Xie Wenyuan, and he can't wait to confirm to Xie Wenyuan whether the person in the dark room in the Chu Tower just now is him, and he can't wait to confirm Xie Wenyuan Do you have a crush on him too...

However, after wandering around for a while, and the early autumn evening wind blowing for half an hour, Zhong Qiyun finally calmed down.

So what if it's confirmed?Even if those intimacy were not his delusional fantasy, since Xie Wenyuan came back first and did not explain the matter to him, it means that no matter what he thinks of him in his heart, Xie Wenyuan will not click on it for the time being. clear.

The current situation in the court is not good, even if he is not in Jingzhao, he is aware of the current situation in Jingzhao City.

After staying in the Dazhao Dynasty for so many years, and because of Xie Wenyuan, Zhong Qiyun paid more attention to the affairs of the court, especially the Xie family, so he vaguely understood why Wei Hechao had held great power for so many years, but Has not been able to rebel, overthrow Chao Gang.

It's because the Xie family has always been the Tan family's reliance.

It's strange to say that although Emperor Feng Zheng didn't like military generals, he was even more afraid of Xie's family. Emperor Feng Zheng didn't believe in Xie Cheng's loyalty and bravery, but in the final analysis he couldn't do without the protection of Xie's family.

Because he knows very well that the only thing that can resist the monstrous power is the absolute sword and stick.

Although the Xie family has been weakened in recent years, if it is strengthened with the power in the hands of the emperor's family, it will make Wei Hechao dare not move at will.

However, this time, the Uighurs came fiercely. General Xie, who was originally guarding the city, led the troops to the northwest, and the defense of Jingzhao City was the weakest.

Here, Wei Hechao is staring at the tiger, while the people behind the Zhang family who have prepared for many years are ready to go, and there is the prince who has forbeared for many years to win over the power...

Zhong Qiyun didn't know when Jingzhaocheng's singing and dancing would break down, but he already felt that just waiting for an opportunity, huge waves would pour down.

And under this crisis, there is his sweetheart.

The heart slowly calmed down, and Zhong Qiyun understood that now is not the time to add to the chaos, let alone Xie Wenyuan's ability to divide

heart time.

He wanted to help Xie Wenyuan, so he shouldn't stop like this.

not to mention.

Looking at the dimly lit room ahead, Zhong Qiyun sighed slightly, not to mention that Xie Wenyuan would get up early to go to court tomorrow, he couldn't bear to disturb his sweetheart's sleep.The future is long, and what he wants to know will be known sooner or later.

Thinking like this, Zhong Qiyun turned around and went back to the room that had been turned into a guest room by the housekeeper during the day.

Although Zhong Qiyun said that he had cured the effect of the medicine, he still drank too much wine. When he got up the next day, Xie Wenyuan had already gone to the palace to go to court, and he didn't know when he would come back.

After sleeping all night, Zhong Qiyun felt more and more that yesterday's facts were too unreal, maybe it was the drug that made him hallucinate.

Isn't it said that Yunnan people often have such a situation when it is the season to eat mushrooms?

The more he thought about it, the more likely Zhong Qiyun felt that it was possible, so he stopped thinking about it casually.Thinking about the things he thought about last night, he still didn't stay idle in Xie Wenyuan's residence, and left Xie's residence after speaking to the housekeeper Cao.

Therefore, when Xie Wenyuan came back at noon, he thought that the person who had been wandering outside his house for a long time last night would still wait for him to come back today, but he never thought that Zhong Qiyun had already left.

"Boss Zhong said he went out to do some business, and he said yes..." Thinking of the boss of the Zhong family who almost wanted to live in the mansion, the housekeeper's face was complicated for a moment, and he carefully glanced at Xie Wenyuan, Said: "It is said to come before sunset."

Xie Wenyuan, who had taken off his official uniform, nodded without asking carefully.

Today the DPRK and China are still talking about the flooding of the two lakes. There are merchants donating rice and grain in many state capitals, but there is no one to deliver them. Today, he once again proposed to convene a caravan to deliver the imperial rewards free of charge. Naturally, it has been received today above recognition.

There is a shortage of rice in the two lakes, and it will be resolved when Zhong Qiyun is ordered to take over the order.

However, Xie Wenyuan frowned when he thought of the innocuous and whitewashed news from the frontier messenger today.

It is obvious that Wei Hechao's people suppressed the news.Uighurs are so vicious, how can it be possible for the two sides to live in peace?He just wanted to cover up the news and isolate the northwestern army on the frontier.Compared with the problems of the two lakes, the biggest problem today is probably the war between the border and the Uighurs. He knows that Wei Hechao has made a move, but the soldiers on the battlefield have to fight. If his loyal father loses... .

Moreover, looking at Emperor Feng Zheng getting thinner and thinner recently...

Xie Wenyuan's eyes tightened suddenly, Wei Hechao must have been waiting for this moment.

After changing into regular clothes, Xie Wenyuan asked Butler Cao

Said: "Did Peng Yi send the news back?"

Butler Cao shook his head: "Not yet."

"If there is no news tomorrow, let Bai Lan go."

Butler Cao nodded: "Yes."

After lunch, Xie Wenyuan took a short rest and went to the Zhengshitang again.There is nothing too important today, and when the routine business is done, the sun has already set.

Zhong Qiyun said to come before sunset, but when Xie Wenyuan returned home, it was already dark and he didn't come.

Zhong Qiyun didn't come, but Gu Shouyi, who had been secretly following the prince Tan Yuanyong, hurriedly reported that the prince met Zhong Qiyun.

"My lord, the crown prince said that he entered the palace to accompany the emperor and never left, but in fact he has quietly left the palace to go to Fanglinzhai after the early court."

Since Xie Wenyuan got the letter and other things from Zhuo Feng last time, Gu Shouyi has not followed Zhuo Feng any more.Because he was familiar with the prince's place, Xie Wenyuan asked him to come back and continue secretly investigating the prince's actions.

Thinking of that return to Beijing, the first thing Prince Xun asked was: What did you get from him?

Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, the Tan family really looked normal, and in the end what he cared about was the stability of his throne.

Gu Shouyi saw that Xie Wenyuan didn't speak, so he continued: "My lord, I thought that the prince just heard that Boss Zhong came to Jingzhao, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted, but looking at it today, Boss Zhong knew clearly He already knew that the prince was coming, so he turned his back on everyone and went to the appointment."

"Oh? And this?"

Gu Shouyi nodded: "My lord, do you think this Zhong Qiyun is actually a black pawn that the prince placed in Shuchuan back then?"

Thinking of how Zhong Qiyun's identity could not be found out at the beginning, Gu Shouyi frowned and said, "This is deliberately used to attract our attention and let us relax our vigilance. If this Zhong Qiyun's motives are really impure, then..."

Xie Wenyuan was noncommittal and only asked, "What did they talk about?"

"The crown prince asked Boss Zhong to deliver weapons and troops for him, to deceive us into trusting him and to steal Zhuo's letters and other things."

"Did he propose an exchange condition to Zhong Qiyun?"

Gu Shouyi replied: "If things come to pass, after he ascends the throne in the future, let him replace the Pei family and become the only 'official businessman' in the court."

"It's an excellent and attractive condition." Xie Wenyuan smiled, "How did Zhong Qiyun answer?"

Gu Shouyi replied: "Boss Zhong agreed."

The autumn wind rushed into the study with a little summer dryness that hadn't faded away. Xie Wenyuan didn't speak, and there was no joy or anger on his face. In the quiet study, only his fingertips could be heard

The sound of the desk delay.

Gu Shouyi didn't know what Xie Wenyuan was thinking at the moment. Seeing that the lord didn't speak, he thought for a while and said: "My lord, although I haven't had much contact with him, I still don't feel at ease with him, no matter whether he is People from the prince’s side, but as long as he is a businessman, he will not ignore the interests. His subordinates stayed in Hangzhou for many years when they were young, and Hangzhou’s business was prosperous. I have also seen thousands of merchants. The words are never false, without exception, they only act on the basis of interests. The subordinates feel that this Zhong Qiyun will eventually become a big trouble, rather than letting him do things that are not good for us, it is better to let the small people take the lead. …”

However, as soon as he said this, there were two knocks on the door outside, and then Steward Cao said slowly: "My lord, Boss Zhong is here."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Gu Shouyi, who was a little dazed, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

When Gu Shouyi heard the words, he quickly said, "Master, do you want to avoid one or two things?"

"No need."

Zhong Qiyun didn't expect that when he went out in the morning, he would come back later than Xie Wenyuan.He didn't know what was going on. Originally, when he was in Hangzhou, it was because the distance was too far away, so he missed him day and night, but now he only met him a few hours ago, and even was in the same city with him. It can be seen at any time, but his heart is more itchy than ever.

I don't know what Xie Wenyuan looks like in the court hall, I don't know if Xie Wenyuan had a good lunch, and I don't know if he can't stand the sweltering heat in the daytime.

and also......

And the hallucinations from last night...

After thinking about Xie Wenyuan for a whole day, even when he saw the prince of the world in the afternoon, he was a little absent-minded.

After finally dealing with this Tan Yuanyong, the steward of the Chengfeng Station King hurried to let him go back to the Chengfeng Station to discuss important matters.Now that the sky is completely dark, he is free. Carrying a piece of special roasted duck, several bottles of freshly made iced drinks and a pack of top-quality Longjing tea, Zhong Qiyun went straight to Xie's mansion, wanting to drink tea with Xie Wenyuan Let's talk about things.

Before stepping into the study door, he shouted happily: "Thank you, sir, I have something to do with you..."

but......

Looking at Gu Shouyi, Zhong Qiyun swallowed what he wanted to say.

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun's hands full of things, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Brother Zhong came here at night, do you have something important to do?"

Zhong Qiyun glanced at Gu Shouyi who was bowing his head at the side, knowing that those intimate words were serious, and he didn't know whether the words with Tan Yuanyong were true in front of Gu Shouyi, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "This...how about you

After we finish talking, I will talk to you alone? "

Xie Wenyuan shook his head, "No problem, just say what you say."

Zhong Qiyun understood, and this told him that Gu Shouyi was trustworthy.

Zhong Qiyun walked up to Xie Wenyuan and sat down. After putting the things in his hand on the table, he immediately took out the celadon bottle, poured the cold pomegranate and pomelo juice into the cup and handed it to Xie Wenyuan: "Try it, it's inexplicably hot today, I specially made you a cold drink, it should taste good."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, and took it slowly after a while, "Thank you, Brother Zhong."

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan took it and took a sip, Zhong Qiyun narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Do you know who I went to see today?"

But before Xie Wenyuan responded, Zhong Qiyun said the answer first: "Tan Yuanyong."

Xie Wenyuan smiled, followed Zhong Qiyun's words, and asked casually, "Why did you see him?"

"Steward Wang sent me a letter this morning, saying that someone wanted to discuss business with me. I thought about it and went to the shop quietly, but I didn't know that the person only left a jade pendant with dragon patterns, which was not in the shop, so I went to the shop and went to the shop." Leave a message to let me move to Fanglin Zhai..."

Briefly told Xie Wenyuan what happened during the day, and when it came to Tan Yuanyong's request, Zhong Qiyun said directly: "He wants me to help him in exchange for an 'official position' and all the shipping business in Daqing. As a cover, you even want me to steal all the letters of Wei Hechao and the Zhuo family from you."

"It's a good deal." Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, "Did you agree?"

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan carefully, and nodded: "I agree, after all, what Tan Yuanyong wants is Wei Hechao's handle, and to get back some things that should not be known to others, if you can take this opportunity to take advantage of it , that should be good too..."

When Zhong Qiyun said this, Gu Shouyi over there was already dumbfounded.

Xie Wenyuan glanced over at Gu Shouyi, who was amazed by Zhong Qiyun's confession, and after achieving his goal, he still said, "If there is nothing wrong with Fuzheng, you should step down first."

Gu Shouyi returned to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This subordinate will retire."

Zhong Qiyun, who didn't put his energy on Gu Shouyi at all, waited for people to close the door and leave without outsiders watching. He just looked at Xie Wenyuan and said, "Did you already know that? Then you deliberately asked me to tell this little brother Gu." of?"

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, but still responded: "Fuzheng and Zhang Hong are people I believed in once."

The word "once" is extremely subtle, and Zhong Qiyun understood the words to his liking.

"This little brother Gu has defected..."

Xie Wenyuan Weiwei

Nodding, then shaking his head, "It doesn't count, at least what I've done so far hasn't hurt my interests." Gu Shouyi was eager for revenge, and he couldn't wait to take Wei Hechao's life, so he didn't move Gu Shouyi naturally couldn't wait.

"You want the person behind him to know that I can't betray you?"

Xie Wenyuan smiled: "That's right."

After saying this, Xie Wenyuan stopped talking.

Zhong Qiyun didn't ask much when he saw it, he just said: "But I still don't know if I agree to Tan Yuanyong in this way, will it be bad for you?"

Xie Wenyuan guessed what Zhong Qiyun was thinking, he looked at the people in front of him with a smile and said, "What if I say yes?"

Zhong Qiyun said as it should: "Of course it can't be done..."

It's just that the words came to an abrupt end.

Xie Wenyuan should have bathed after he came back, and now he is wearing looser casual clothes. Under the slightly loosened skirt, Zhong Qiyun is sitting in a position where he can see a dark red mark on his neck that is so ambiguous to the extreme.

Pupils constricted suddenly, Zhong Qiyun stared at that place in a daze, and asked subconsciously: "Then... who bit it?"

Xie Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw where Zhong Qiyun was looking, he suddenly understood what Zhong Qiyun said.

"..." His eyes trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, and he adjusted his clothes slightly to cover that place.

The room fell into silence, staring at Xie Wenyuan who didn't respond, Zhong Qiyun suddenly felt his throat dry up.

The answer is self-evident.
