After being reborn, he was favored by the god of war husband [Farming]
Chapter 107] Canglan in the Northern Territory
"I heard that all the guests who came here today are distinguished guests, but they have sent a lot of supplies to our government office, so we have to treat them well!"
Su Jiu nodded, wondering what kind of distinguished guest it was.
He only served dishes, and when he put down the dish, he took a careful look, and was immediately stunned.
A glamorous woman holding a pipa smiled at Yan Yan and looked at him. There was a tiger-headed man sitting next to her. It was Qin Niang and Mr. Tiger-head who Wei Chen ordered to go ahead.
They were members of Wei Chen's bodyguard company. Naturally, Su Jiu had met them before, but she didn't expect to see them here, so she froze for a moment.
"Hey! Handyman!"
Qin Niang shook her head lightly at her, Su Jiu immediately reacted, he hurriedly lowered his head, and left with Aunt Cai.
As soon as she walked out of the hall, Su Jiu was scolded fiercely.
"You idiot, you just serve the food, why are you staring at the faces of the customers?"
Su Jiu could see the joyful mood on his face: "Aunt Cai, what are those two guests doing here?"
Aunt Cai was taken aback, and cursed: "How do I know these things? Do your job well and don't inquire!"
Su Jiu spread her hands, helplessly: "Have you always been so irritable? Being so angry hurts your liver. Have you ever felt that you have occasional lack of energy, uneven breathing, and easy insomnia and hair loss? With these problems, it means that there is something wrong with the liver. It needs to be treated as soon as possible."
Su Jiu is not talking nonsense when she says these things. Seeing that Aunt Cai's face is darkened, and there is a fierce look between her brows, such a person is often angry at first glance.
It's really bad to be angry, especially for girls, who are prone to many diseases.
Aunt Cai's complexion changed slightly, she was obviously caught in the trick, she held back for a while: "You can still treat illnesses?"
"My family sells medicines. Really, I don't want to help you. Your illness needs to be cured as soon as possible, or you will die when it gets serious. Don't worry, for the sake of my acquaintances, I will charge you cheaper..."
Su Jiu stayed in the "Department of Internal Affairs" peacefully until night. Aunt Cai received his kindness during the day and arranged a good accommodation for him at night. Although it was not very good, it was at least a single room.
The cotton quilts in the room were somewhat damp and smelled musty.
There was movement outside, and someone came in. From a distance, Su Jiu saw Qin Niang, who was in charge of the lamp-handling servant outside the Department of Internal Affairs, and Mr. Hutou who followed. The two of them walked halfway to the door of Su Jiu's room, and they were met by a person who fell from the sky. The man in black stopped him.
"They are my people, don't stop them."
Su Jiu welcomed the person in, looked outside and saw that no one noticed, then closed the door and spoke.
As soon as Qin Niang entered the door, she asked, "Who was outside just now?"
"Gong Qing." Su Jiu said.
Qin Niang was startled: "But the person who arrested you and left?"
Su Jiu nodded, but said, "It's okay, he's not dangerous, you just pretend he doesn't exist."
Mr. Hutou could see clearly that this person had been in the dark just now, but he didn't make a move. He didn't intend to block him until the two of them walked in front of Su Jiu's door. It should be someone from Su Jiu's side.
Mr. Hutou never made any inquiries.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Niang sat down facing Su Jiu: "It's the team leader, he doesn't trust you, the day/after you were taken away, the team leader also sent people to chase after you, but it was still a step too late, and then sent me and my husband to go first, It's just that the people from the Department of Internal Affairs are watching you very closely, and I don't dare to point it out rashly, because I'm afraid it will be bad for you, so I might as well come back to see how you are here at night."
Su Jiu nodded, "How is Wei Chen doing now?"
"The team leader should be entering Beijing now, and he will come here later. We came here for the convenience of the water transport, and received the order from the government. I'm afraid we can't take you away for the time being, but we will guard you here. Safe, now I am dressed up as a qin girl and play the qin for local officials. My husband is a guest secretary in the government office, and he still has a place in the Department of Internal Affairs. Xiaojiu, if someone here makes things difficult for you, just send someone to report to us, your door The little boy holding the lamp outside is one of our people."
Su Jiu nodded, her heart finally fell.
Su Jiu wanted to ask Wei Chen if he had received the reply letter he sent on the way?But when he thought that not long after he left, Qinniang and Mr. Hutou went north, so they probably didn't know what happened afterwards.
In the end, Su Jiu's belly has been around for more than four months after being delayed on the road, but now it is covered by thick clothes, which makes it difficult to see clearly.
But Mr. Hutou is as careful as a hair, and he can tell at a glance that Qinniang is also surprised when he finds out later.
"Xiao Jiu, you..."
God, what a big deal this is. She was pregnant and went all the way from Shuzhou to the northern region. Qinniang didn't dare to think about it if she was a little careless.
"Does the team leader know about this?"
Su Jiu shook her head.
Qin Niang wanted to know, otherwise, how could the leader feel relieved that he would go into the bitter cold of the northern border alone?
Qin Niang immediately greeted people, made arrangements, changed the quilt for Su Jiu's room, brought some checked snacks, and lit the charcoal fire.
Thanks to Su Jiu's vigilance, except for some bumps on the road, everything else was fine, that is, he deliberately protected his belly and didn't dare to reveal it in front of others, and kept wrapping his belly with a belt. The fetus didn't look very big, but it was very healthy.
Su Jiu was also worried, the more time passed, the more he couldn't hide the child's affairs, and he was worried, so he told Qin Niang and the others.
That night, Qinniang stayed in his room until midnight before leaving, and hurriedly wrote a letter when she got back. This matter needs to be treated more strictly, and she will not hesitate to change the plan when necessary.
In fact, Su Jiu was on the way that day and asked a local pharmacy to bring the letter back.
At that time, the owner of the shop was still hesitant and doubted the authenticity of the matter, but there was no difference in trying, so he ran away personally because of this matter.
On a trip to Shuzhou, he inquired all the way, took a boat to the outside of the manor, and handed over the letter to a man named Liu Steward.
The letter was written by Wei Chen, but Wei Chen had already left at that time. When Yang Qizhen rushed out with his people and asked about Su Jiu's situation at that time, the shopkeeper told the truth.
Yang Qizhen earnestly fulfilled the agreement, gave him all purchases for free, and subsidized a lot of medicinal materials.
After this incident, Yang Qizhen wrote a letter to Wei Chen, and the letter was sent directly to Wanbao Pavilion, and someone specially checked it, so the news came before Wei Chen arrived in the capital.
As soon as Wei Chen arrived in the capital that day, he first went to see Yu Wenjin.
The two old enemies and friends met again, Wei Chen didn't hide his clumsiness, and went straight to the point with Yu Wenjin's important person.
"Brother Wei Chen, we met once, friends of two lifetimes, and meeting again, isn't it worth sitting down and having a glass of wine first?"
Yu Wenjin set up a place to wait for him. The style of the hall is elegant, and there are flowing cups of Qushui on the side.
The two sat opposite each other on the futons on the floor, and Yu Wenjin raised his glass: "Respect old friend."
Wei Chen didn't answer.
Yu Wenjin drank a glass alone, his eyes fell on Wei Chen, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "General, how long has it been since we drank like this?"
Wei Chen looked at him, "Since Your Highness ascended the throne."
"Do you still remember?" Yu Wenjin just smiled: "I think you don't remember the love from the past at all, and you forget me at all?"
Wei Chen raised his eyebrows: "What is the relationship between me and you?"
Yu Wenjin immediately laughed three times: "As expected, you are still you."
As he spoke, his smiling face lowered, becoming a little unfathomable. It's a pity that he didn't use this expression to act.
"Unfortunately, the general is no longer a general."
Yu Wenjin poured himself another glass of wine, with a smile that was not a smile: "The general back then, armed with a hundred thousand cavalry, killed the enemy on the battlefield, how majestic and majestic was it? I remember that General Wei was the one who hated the most intrigues and scheming. In addition, I pity the general's statement, and never thought of treating you as a minister behind the scenes, but now, the general has turned around and helped King Ning deal with me?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that he tore open his skin to reveal his flamboyant wolfishness.
Wei Chen was not surprised at all, just as Yu Wenjin knew him, he also knew Yu Wenjin, this was his original purpose.
Wei Chen was silent for a while: "But there was a misunderstanding? I didn't help Prince Ning."
"Heh..." Yu Wenjin sneered: "It's not like you, dare to do it or not? It's not you. The Qingcheng Army supported Liaodong. How did you find the first opportunity again and again? Now King Ning is famous, but he is very prestigious. Woolen cloth!"
"The Qingcheng Army was originally part of Prince Ning's mansion. Your Highness didn't know about it at this time, did you? Now His Highness has changed his course and dispatched King Ning to Liaodong to suppress it, but he didn't expect that King Ning would solve the crisis in Liaodong. Although I didn't Participating in it, but I think it is a good thing, is your highness more willing to see the war in Liaodong and the displacement of the people?"
"You are presumptuous!" Yu Wenjin was a little angry when his psychology was exposed, but he quickly controlled it.
I just looked at Wei Chen: "You said just now that you didn't participate in it? Your relationship with Qi Ji, the youth gang, is fine, and now you say you didn't participate in it? Don't you think that the king will believe you if you are blind?" nonsense?"
"You're right to say that. I did join hands with Qi Ji to carry out darts, but this has nothing to do with the Qing Gang. Speaking of which, Qi Ji's younger brother is still the righteous brother recognized by my wife. The relationship between the two families is very different, but if you say , I have a close relationship with Qi Ji, so it is nonsense to participate in the Ninth Prince's seizure of the heir, who doesn't know that I have repeatedly stated and corrected, I am not an insider of King Ning, and I have no intention of participating in the government affairs. Why refuse?"
Last time, Wei Chen's contacts with King Ning were indeed for the purpose of escorting. Yu Wenjin was so suspicious, it was impossible that he didn't send someone to investigate. Naturally, he knew that Wei Chen had no contact with King Ning before that.
Moreover, it was true that Wei Chen refused all the prince's solicitations that day, not even giving His Majesty face. Everyone could see that he had no intention of politics!
"Then the Qingcheng army went to Liaodong, and the strategic deployment they made in advance was clearly aimed at the Japanese pirates. How do you explain it?"
Wei Chen's expression was strange: "Could it be possible that Your Highness thinks that we are the only ones in this world who have such a bizarre situation?"
Yu Wenjin was startled and looked over suddenly.
Wei Chen said slowly: "Do you know that Wanbao Pavilion is like a god in today's world?"
Wei Chen had been prepared for a long time, and pushed out the Wanbao Pavilion to block the knife.
The information that Wanbao Pavilion has released many times in recent years is indeed too advanced. The main reason is that Wanbao Pavilion itself is such an intelligence collection place, and no one will notice the information even if it is convenient. When Wei Chen mentioned it, Yu Wenjin reacted abruptly. Come here, think about the major events that have happened in recent years, which one cannot be separated from Wanbao Pavilion?The more I think about it, the more frightened I become, and the more I think about it, the more clear and thorough I become!
Yu Wenjin was walking on the hall with his hands behind his back, so he said that every time someone rushed ahead of him, Wanbao Pavilion was protected by the late emperor, and he had the will to be immobile for 200 years. Relying on the advanced news to protect and pray in times of crisis, in recent years, he has been more respected by the people, and Zhang Deshan is almost regarded as a god!
If it was really Wanbao Pavilion, it would be really troublesome.
"You really didn't..." Yu Wenjin was still hesitating and suspicious.
Wei Chen snorted softly: "I, Wei Chen, have always been loyal to the imperial power and not involved in party politics, so if I really want to get involved, naturally I am not on King Ning's side."
Yu Wenjin looked at him suddenly: "Then which side do you want to stand on?"
Wei Chen's eyes were as calm as before, and he fell on the wine glass: "If you say that I failed my first wife in my last life, I have promised to live with him forever in this life. If the prince didn't deliberately involve me in it, why would I be here?"
Yu Wenjin walked over quickly: "General, I appreciate your talent. How can you be alone in today's world? I think you guarded the border back then and disturbed the situation of those northern barbarians. Now the court needs your help!"
Wei Chen looked up at him calmly: "So, you kidnapped Su Jiu and threatened me? Where is he?"
"This king admits that I am indeed too aggressive in this matter, but the general must understand my painstaking efforts. You are too close to the Qi family!"
"If I don't take precautions in advance, you and Qi Ji will become King Ning's right-hand man, how can I feel at ease?"
"If you want to say that this king is the real prince, you know this matter better than anyone else. As far as the general said that he is only loyal to the monarch, this king believes it. If the general can be used by this king this time, he will wait for the king to come again. The throne, no matter what kind of glory, the general just opens his mouth!"
After going around and around, the talent was finally fooled. Wei Chen bit his tongue all the time: "Where is Su Jiu?"
Everything is just as King Jing learned, Wei Chen has a deep affection for his wife, and he is more humane than General Wei, who was neither happy nor sad in his previous life, and it is for this reason that Yu Wenjin has the opportunity to control him.
Of course, apart from his sincere love for Su Jiu, everything else is an illusion deliberately created by Wei Chen...
When he came out of Prince Jing's Mansion that day, Wei Chen seemed to be troubled, with no expression on his face, and turned to the carriage for the return journey, his face changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
Song Jiang waited outside: "What's the matter? Has King Jing been fooled?"
Wei Chen leaned on the armrest with one hand, and glanced at Song Jiang: "When did I miss it?"
"However, I think he still has doubts, but I'm sure he will believe me."
Wei Chen understands Yu Wenjin's suspicious nature, but at the same time he is conceited, the more risky the move, the more he has to try. He enjoys the process and feels that he can control everyone in his hands.
Song Jiang: "Then let's go on..."
"Wait, King Jing is the one who is most anxious about this matter. The more we are at this time, the more we must hold our breath. It is best to have a better bargaining chip in our hands at the beginning."
He said it easily, when he saw Su Che that day, Su Che got the news of Wanbao Pavilion first, and the first thing he said when he saw Wei Chen was: "Brother Chen, do you know about my brother's pregnancy?"
At that time, Wei Chen paused, and immediately looked over: "What did you say?"
Wei Chen's expression was not serious, he was even a little nervous.
When Su Che saw it, he knew that Brother Chen didn't know about it: "My brother secretly wrote a letter on the way back to inform about this, but at that time you had already left home and entered Beijing, and the family didn't know how to contact you, so I brought it directly to Wanbao Pavilion. The news, I also just learned about this..."
There was a buzzing in Wei Chen's head, and suddenly he couldn't hear clearly. Song Jiang saw him take two steps out of his mind, and knocked down two chairs.
"Brother Chen." Song Jiang went to help him, but Wei Chen swung him away.
Wei Chen seemed to be a little out of strength, propped himself up on the table and sat down: "Go, go and watch outside Prince Jing's mansion, and let me know immediately if there is any news!"
Song Jiang was taken aback: "But didn't you just say that we should hold our breath..."
"Is my fucking nonsense okay? Go! Take someone to guard outside King Jing's mansion, do nothing, just block me and ask for someone!"
Song Jiang was really confused and scratched his head: "Boss, isn't sister-in-law in the north? You are blocking King Jing's mansion..."
——It's useless, Song Jiang wanted to say.
Can Wei Chen not understand these truths?Naturally, it is to put pressure on Prince Jing's Mansion, and ask Yu Wenjin to behave better for Lao Tzu. If something happens to someone, Wei Chen will definitely make a fuss for the whole city to know about!
I don't know if it's because of Qinniang's management, Su Jiu's work in the back kitchen is much easier.
Often they are only busy in the morning, and they can steal half a piece of pig's trotter after lunch, and throw it on the roof after taking it home, and someone will catch it.
Gong Qingwai poked his head down to say hello to him.
Su Jiu moved a stool out, found an orange out of nowhere, and chatted with the people on the roof while peeling the orange and eating it.
"Why are you following me? Why don't you go to your sister?"
Gong Qing leaned on the beam and gnawed on the pig's trotters: "I can't find it."
"why?"
"lost."
She is really stupid enough to lose even her younger sister, Su Jiu was curious: "Didn't you say earlier that King Jing saved your younger sister?"
Seeing people stopped talking again, Su Jiu sighed slightly, but didn't get any extra information.
Surprisingly, in the afternoon, the third brother Manzi, who had disrespected Su Jiuduo at the gate of the city before, made a special trip today to apologize to him with gifts.
Su Jiu was curious and looked up at Gong Qing: "What's your name?"
He shook his head.
The two officials who came here afterward were also the ones who had arrested Su Jiu here before, and came up to apologize with a smile: "Mr. Su, it was all a misunderstanding. We offended you because we didn't know Taishan earlier. You don't remember villains. However, don’t bother with us.”
"Oh?" Seeing their 180-degree change in attitude, Su Jiu was quite novel: "What do you think?"
"No, no, the higher-ups have ordered that you are a distinguished guest, and we want to give you preferential treatment. Now I invite you to live in another place. All the items there should be properly packed, and you are satisfied with the package!"
Su Jiu guessed that it was Wei Chen who made the move. Instead of dealing with these officials, he looked at the three savages instead.
"So what if you come to apologize to me? You should apologize to the people of Changzhou! I won't forgive you for them, get out of my yard!"
These people do all kinds of evil, and I don't know how many people have suffered in daily life. These officials all follow the trend, and they see people and things with colored glasses.
Su Jiu turned around and sat in the courtyard: "It's very good here, I don't plan to change places."
It's just another place of imprisonment, it's the same everywhere.
The two officials looked at each other: "We will send someone to clean it immediately! If there is anything missing, Mr. Su just ask!"
After an afternoon of cleaning and rectification, the whole courtyard has changed drastically, and the daily life has also become more refined. Su Jiu didn't say a word about it.
When I was free, I asked one of them: "Is the plague in the city serious?"
"It's not very serious."
Su Jiu satirized: "It's just that it's not serious here, is it?"
The man said awkwardly: "Mr. Su was deceived when he first came here. I don't know. Now that there are wars and disputes, there are a lot of places that need to be spent. We really can't take care of them. Let's take care of the overall situation..."
Su Jiu: "But I see that your family is still rich in clothing and food, and hasn't been severely reduced?"
Such blunt debunking made the other party not know how to reply, so they had no choice but to laugh it off. After all, it was King Jing who asked for good care and did not dare to offend.
"Let me ask you another question." Su Jiu said, "How much do you know about Gong Qing?"
……
In the evening, Su Jiu asked someone to bring two stoves and two pots to the yard, planning to cook for herself.
The ingredients were taken from the back kitchen, and a big hen was killed to make soup.
Watching the stove in winter is the hottest. The fragrant chicken soup spreads all over the yard. After a while, there was a sound of breaking through the air. Gong Qing jumped down and sat on the opposite side on a stool spontaneously.
Su Jiu glanced at him: "Greedy? Don't you just want to follow me and eat my flowers?"
Gong Qing's face was still indifferent, but he was slightly relieved by the light of the fire. He ignored Su Jiu's joke and just stared at the chicken in the pot.
Su Jiu used a fire stick to stir the fire in the furnace: "I didn't know that you were still a member of the Canglan royal family?"
Su Jiu was jealous like hatred: "Canglan caused me to pray deeply, and now I am involved because of it. You made me unable to see my husband and child, and I lived in a foreign land. Now my husband is also involved, and is used by King Jing. Don't feel guilty at all?"
Gong Qing looked at him and said only: "I am not from the royal family of Canglan."
"Hmph, someone told me today that you are a killer trained by the Canglan royal family, and you are not a good person."
"That was before."
"What's the difference from now?"
Gong Qing stopped talking again.
Su Jiu snorted: "If you don't say it, then don't drink this chicken soup."
Gong Qing looked at the fire and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "My sister was not even ten years old when she was sent to pray for marriage by the Canglan royal family."
Su Jiu looked over: "Forced? Is your sister a princess?"
Gong Qing paused for a moment: "She wandered with me when she was three years old. Later, she was favored by Canglan's royal family and brought into the palace. Since then, her younger sister has been kept in the palace, and I was sent to secret training. She is replacing Canglan. The marriage between the royal family and Daqi is, to put it bluntly, the proton of checks and balances."
Gong Qing is grateful for the kindness of the Canglan royal family and is willing to take advantage of it. He just hopes that his sister will have no worries about food and clothing in the palace and will not suffer any more.
Unexpectedly, the royal family of Canglan was exhausted, and in order to protect their princess, they even sent his younger sister to Daqi to replace her. His own sister was only ten years old at the time, and she went to a strange place alone, and I don't know how much suffering she suffered.
Faced with his questioning, in order to continue to control him, the Canglan royal family actually threatened him to tell the story about the fake princess if he didn't help them. At that time, his own sister might die immediately, let alone live a good life.
Later, he waited until Daqi was finally defeated. He was ordered to secretly escort the five sons of the emperor all the way to the northern border, repelling several waves of killers from Daqi on the way. The younger sister who stayed in Daqi was exchanged for it.
But Canglan Country lied to him again. To them, the girl sent out back then was just a substitute for the princess, and in their eyes, it was not as important as Daqi's prince hostage.
Later, the princess who entered Daqi was just a substitute, and it was finally exposed at this time.
Su Jiu's heart ached: "So, that's why you left Canglan?"
Gong Qing nodded.
"Then what do you mean King Jing saved your sister?"
"Until three years ago, I received a letter from King Jing, saying that he protected my sister's life and asked me to do something for him."
Su Jiu understood, and her complexion became very complicated: "To some extent, what is the difference between King Jing and those in the Canglan royal family? Isn't it all about taking advantage of it?"
Gong Qing looked at Su Jiu: "As long as my sister can live, that's enough."
Su Jiu's heart sank suddenly, it would be fine if this matter is really what he thought, I'm afraid it's just King Shijing using him.
Su Jiu nodded, wondering what kind of distinguished guest it was.
He only served dishes, and when he put down the dish, he took a careful look, and was immediately stunned.
A glamorous woman holding a pipa smiled at Yan Yan and looked at him. There was a tiger-headed man sitting next to her. It was Qin Niang and Mr. Tiger-head who Wei Chen ordered to go ahead.
They were members of Wei Chen's bodyguard company. Naturally, Su Jiu had met them before, but she didn't expect to see them here, so she froze for a moment.

Aunt Cai was taken aback, and cursed: "How do I know these things? Do your job well and don't inquire!"
Su Jiu spread her hands, helplessly: "Have you always been so irritable? Being so angry hurts your liver. Have you ever felt that you have occasional lack of energy, uneven breathing, and easy insomnia and hair loss? With these problems, it means that there is something wrong with the liver. It needs to be treated as soon as possible."
Su Jiu is not talking nonsense when she says these things. Seeing that Aunt Cai's face is darkened, and there is a fierce look between her brows, such a person is often angry at first glance.
It's really bad to be angry, especially for girls, who are prone to many diseases.

Su Jiu nodded, "How is Wei Chen doing now?"
"The team leader should be entering Beijing now, and he will come here later. We came here for the convenience of the water transport, and received the order from the government. I'm afraid we can't take you away for the time being, but we will guard you here. Safe, now I am dressed up as a qin girl and play the qin for local officials. My husband is a guest secretary in the government office, and he still has a place in the Department of Internal Affairs. Xiaojiu, if someone here makes things difficult for you, just send someone to report to us, your door The little boy holding the lamp outside is one of our people."
Su Jiu nodded, her heart finally fell.
Su Jiu wanted to ask Wei Chen if he had received the reply letter he sent on the way?But when he thought that not long after he left, Qinniang and Mr. Hutou went north, so they probably didn't know what happened afterwards.
In the end, Su Jiu's belly has been around for more than four months after being delayed on the road, but now it is covered by thick clothes, which makes it difficult to see clearly.
But Mr. Hutou is as careful as a hair, and he can tell at a glance that Qinniang is also surprised when he finds out later.
"Xiao Jiu, you..."
God, what a big deal this is. She was pregnant and went all the way from Shuzhou to the northern region. Qinniang didn't dare to think about it if she was a little careless.
"Does the team leader know about this?"
Su Jiu shook her head.
Qin Niang wanted to know, otherwise, how could the leader feel relieved that he would go into the bitter cold of the northern border alone?
Qin Niang immediately greeted people, made arrangements, changed the quilt for Su Jiu's room, brought some checked snacks, and lit the charcoal fire.
Thanks to Su Jiu's vigilance, except for some bumps on the road, everything else was fine, that is, he deliberately protected his belly and didn't dare to reveal it in front of others, and kept wrapping his belly with a belt. The fetus didn't look very big, but it was very healthy.
Su Jiu was also worried, the more time passed, the more he couldn't hide the child's affairs, and he was worried, so he told Qin Niang and the others.
That night, Qinniang stayed in his room until midnight before leaving, and hurriedly wrote a letter when she got back. This matter needs to be treated more strictly, and she will not hesitate to change the plan when necessary.

At that time, the owner of the shop was still hesitant and doubted the authenticity of the matter, but there was no difference in trying, so he ran away personally because of this matter.
On a trip to Shuzhou, he inquired all the way, took a boat to the outside of the manor, and handed over the letter to a man named Liu Steward.
The letter was written by Wei Chen, but Wei Chen had already left at that time. When Yang Qizhen rushed out with his people and asked about Su Jiu's situation at that time, the shopkeeper told the truth.
Yang Qizhen earnestly fulfilled the agreement, gave him all purchases for free, and subsidized a lot of medicinal materials.

As soon as Wei Chen arrived in the capital that day, he first went to see Yu Wenjin.
The two old enemies and friends met again, Wei Chen didn't hide his clumsiness, and went straight to the point with Yu Wenjin's important person.
"Brother Wei Chen, we met once, friends of two lifetimes, and meeting again, isn't it worth sitting down and having a glass of wine first?"
Yu Wenjin set up a place to wait for him. The style of the hall is elegant, and there are flowing cups of Qushui on the side.
The two sat opposite each other on the futons on the floor, and Yu Wenjin raised his glass: "Respect old friend."
Wei Chen didn't answer.
Yu Wenjin drank a glass alone, his eyes fell on Wei Chen, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "General, how long has it been since we drank like this?"
Wei Chen looked at him, "Since Your Highness ascended the throne."
"Do you still remember?" Yu Wenjin just smiled: "I think you don't remember the love from the past at all, and you forget me at all?"
Wei Chen raised his eyebrows: "What is the relationship between me and you?"
Yu Wenjin immediately laughed three times: "As expected, you are still you."
As he spoke, his smiling face lowered, becoming a little unfathomable. It's a pity that he didn't use this expression to act.
"Unfortunately, the general is no longer a general."
Yu Wenjin poured himself another glass of wine, with a smile that was not a smile: "The general back then, armed with a hundred thousand cavalry, killed the enemy on the battlefield, how majestic and majestic was it? I remember that General Wei was the one who hated the most intrigues and scheming. In addition, I pity the general's statement, and never thought of treating you as a minister behind the scenes, but now, the general has turned around and helped King Ning deal with me?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that he tore open his skin to reveal his flamboyant wolfishness.
Wei Chen was not surprised at all, just as Yu Wenjin knew him, he also knew Yu Wenjin, this was his original purpose.
Wei Chen was silent for a while: "But there was a misunderstanding? I didn't help Prince Ning."
"Heh..." Yu Wenjin sneered: "It's not like you, dare to do it or not? It's not you. The Qingcheng Army supported Liaodong. How did you find the first opportunity again and again? Now King Ning is famous, but he is very prestigious. Woolen cloth!"
"The Qingcheng Army was originally part of Prince Ning's mansion. Your Highness didn't know about it at this time, did you? Now His Highness has changed his course and dispatched King Ning to Liaodong to suppress it, but he didn't expect that King Ning would solve the crisis in Liaodong. Although I didn't Participating in it, but I think it is a good thing, is your highness more willing to see the war in Liaodong and the displacement of the people?"
"You are presumptuous!" Yu Wenjin was a little angry when his psychology was exposed, but he quickly controlled it.
I just looked at Wei Chen: "You said just now that you didn't participate in it? Your relationship with Qi Ji, the youth gang, is fine, and now you say you didn't participate in it? Don't you think that the king will believe you if you are blind?" nonsense?"
"You're right to say that. I did join hands with Qi Ji to carry out darts, but this has nothing to do with the Qing Gang. Speaking of which, Qi Ji's younger brother is still the righteous brother recognized by my wife. The relationship between the two families is very different, but if you say , I have a close relationship with Qi Ji, so it is nonsense to participate in the Ninth Prince's seizure of the heir, who doesn't know that I have repeatedly stated and corrected, I am not an insider of King Ning, and I have no intention of participating in the government affairs. Why refuse?"
Last time, Wei Chen's contacts with King Ning were indeed for the purpose of escorting. Yu Wenjin was so suspicious, it was impossible that he didn't send someone to investigate. Naturally, he knew that Wei Chen had no contact with King Ning before that.
Moreover, it was true that Wei Chen refused all the prince's solicitations that day, not even giving His Majesty face. Everyone could see that he had no intention of politics!
"Then the Qingcheng army went to Liaodong, and the strategic deployment they made in advance was clearly aimed at the Japanese pirates. How do you explain it?"
Wei Chen's expression was strange: "Could it be possible that Your Highness thinks that we are the only ones in this world who have such a bizarre situation?"
Yu Wenjin was startled and looked over suddenly.
Wei Chen said slowly: "Do you know that Wanbao Pavilion is like a god in today's world?"
Wei Chen had been prepared for a long time, and pushed out the Wanbao Pavilion to block the knife.
The information that Wanbao Pavilion has released many times in recent years is indeed too advanced. The main reason is that Wanbao Pavilion itself is such an intelligence collection place, and no one will notice the information even if it is convenient. When Wei Chen mentioned it, Yu Wenjin reacted abruptly. Come here, think about the major events that have happened in recent years, which one cannot be separated from Wanbao Pavilion?The more I think about it, the more frightened I become, and the more I think about it, the more clear and thorough I become!
Yu Wenjin was walking on the hall with his hands behind his back, so he said that every time someone rushed ahead of him, Wanbao Pavilion was protected by the late emperor, and he had the will to be immobile for 200 years. Relying on the advanced news to protect and pray in times of crisis, in recent years, he has been more respected by the people, and Zhang Deshan is almost regarded as a god!
If it was really Wanbao Pavilion, it would be really troublesome.
"You really didn't..." Yu Wenjin was still hesitating and suspicious.
Wei Chen snorted softly: "I, Wei Chen, have always been loyal to the imperial power and not involved in party politics, so if I really want to get involved, naturally I am not on King Ning's side."
Yu Wenjin looked at him suddenly: "Then which side do you want to stand on?"
Wei Chen's eyes were as calm as before, and he fell on the wine glass: "If you say that I failed my first wife in my last life, I have promised to live with him forever in this life. If the prince didn't deliberately involve me in it, why would I be here?"
Yu Wenjin walked over quickly: "General, I appreciate your talent. How can you be alone in today's world? I think you guarded the border back then and disturbed the situation of those northern barbarians. Now the court needs your help!"
Wei Chen looked up at him calmly: "So, you kidnapped Su Jiu and threatened me? Where is he?"
"This king admits that I am indeed too aggressive in this matter, but the general must understand my painstaking efforts. You are too close to the Qi family!"
"If I don't take precautions in advance, you and Qi Ji will become King Ning's right-hand man, how can I feel at ease?"
"If you want to say that this king is the real prince, you know this matter better than anyone else. As far as the general said that he is only loyal to the monarch, this king believes it. If the general can be used by this king this time, he will wait for the king to come again. The throne, no matter what kind of glory, the general just opens his mouth!"
After going around and around, the talent was finally fooled. Wei Chen bit his tongue all the time: "Where is Su Jiu?"
Everything is just as King Jing learned, Wei Chen has a deep affection for his wife, and he is more humane than General Wei, who was neither happy nor sad in his previous life, and it is for this reason that Yu Wenjin has the opportunity to control him.
Of course, apart from his sincere love for Su Jiu, everything else is an illusion deliberately created by Wei Chen...
When he came out of Prince Jing's Mansion that day, Wei Chen seemed to be troubled, with no expression on his face, and turned to the carriage for the return journey, his face changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
Song Jiang waited outside: "What's the matter? Has King Jing been fooled?"
Wei Chen leaned on the armrest with one hand, and glanced at Song Jiang: "When did I miss it?"
"However, I think he still has doubts, but I'm sure he will believe me."
Wei Chen understands Yu Wenjin's suspicious nature, but at the same time he is conceited, the more risky the move, the more he has to try. He enjoys the process and feels that he can control everyone in his hands.
Song Jiang: "Then let's go on..."
"Wait, King Jing is the one who is most anxious about this matter. The more we are at this time, the more we must hold our breath. It is best to have a better bargaining chip in our hands at the beginning."
He said it easily, when he saw Su Che that day, Su Che got the news of Wanbao Pavilion first, and the first thing he said when he saw Wei Chen was: "Brother Chen, do you know about my brother's pregnancy?"
At that time, Wei Chen paused, and immediately looked over: "What did you say?"
Wei Chen's expression was not serious, he was even a little nervous.
When Su Che saw it, he knew that Brother Chen didn't know about it: "My brother secretly wrote a letter on the way back to inform about this, but at that time you had already left home and entered Beijing, and the family didn't know how to contact you, so I brought it directly to Wanbao Pavilion. The news, I also just learned about this..."
There was a buzzing in Wei Chen's head, and suddenly he couldn't hear clearly. Song Jiang saw him take two steps out of his mind, and knocked down two chairs.
"Brother Chen." Song Jiang went to help him, but Wei Chen swung him away.
Wei Chen seemed to be a little out of strength, propped himself up on the table and sat down: "Go, go and watch outside Prince Jing's mansion, and let me know immediately if there is any news!"
Song Jiang was taken aback: "But didn't you just say that we should hold our breath..."
"Is my fucking nonsense okay? Go! Take someone to guard outside King Jing's mansion, do nothing, just block me and ask for someone!"
Song Jiang was really confused and scratched his head: "Boss, isn't sister-in-law in the north? You are blocking King Jing's mansion..."
——It's useless, Song Jiang wanted to say.
Can Wei Chen not understand these truths?Naturally, it is to put pressure on Prince Jing's Mansion, and ask Yu Wenjin to behave better for Lao Tzu. If something happens to someone, Wei Chen will definitely make a fuss for the whole city to know about!
I don't know if it's because of Qinniang's management, Su Jiu's work in the back kitchen is much easier.
Often they are only busy in the morning, and they can steal half a piece of pig's trotter after lunch, and throw it on the roof after taking it home, and someone will catch it.
Gong Qingwai poked his head down to say hello to him.
Su Jiu moved a stool out, found an orange out of nowhere, and chatted with the people on the roof while peeling the orange and eating it.
"Why are you following me? Why don't you go to your sister?"
Gong Qing leaned on the beam and gnawed on the pig's trotters: "I can't find it."
"why?"
"lost."
She is really stupid enough to lose even her younger sister, Su Jiu was curious: "Didn't you say earlier that King Jing saved your younger sister?"
Seeing people stopped talking again, Su Jiu sighed slightly, but didn't get any extra information.
Surprisingly, in the afternoon, the third brother Manzi, who had disrespected Su Jiuduo at the gate of the city before, made a special trip today to apologize to him with gifts.
Su Jiu was curious and looked up at Gong Qing: "What's your name?"
He shook his head.
The two officials who came here afterward were also the ones who had arrested Su Jiu here before, and came up to apologize with a smile: "Mr. Su, it was all a misunderstanding. We offended you because we didn't know Taishan earlier. You don't remember villains. However, don’t bother with us.”
"Oh?" Seeing their 180-degree change in attitude, Su Jiu was quite novel: "What do you think?"
"No, no, the higher-ups have ordered that you are a distinguished guest, and we want to give you preferential treatment. Now I invite you to live in another place. All the items there should be properly packed, and you are satisfied with the package!"
Su Jiu guessed that it was Wei Chen who made the move. Instead of dealing with these officials, he looked at the three savages instead.
"So what if you come to apologize to me? You should apologize to the people of Changzhou! I won't forgive you for them, get out of my yard!"
These people do all kinds of evil, and I don't know how many people have suffered in daily life. These officials all follow the trend, and they see people and things with colored glasses.
Su Jiu turned around and sat in the courtyard: "It's very good here, I don't plan to change places."
It's just another place of imprisonment, it's the same everywhere.
The two officials looked at each other: "We will send someone to clean it immediately! If there is anything missing, Mr. Su just ask!"
After an afternoon of cleaning and rectification, the whole courtyard has changed drastically, and the daily life has also become more refined. Su Jiu didn't say a word about it.
When I was free, I asked one of them: "Is the plague in the city serious?"
"It's not very serious."
Su Jiu satirized: "It's just that it's not serious here, is it?"
The man said awkwardly: "Mr. Su was deceived when he first came here. I don't know. Now that there are wars and disputes, there are a lot of places that need to be spent. We really can't take care of them. Let's take care of the overall situation..."
Su Jiu: "But I see that your family is still rich in clothing and food, and hasn't been severely reduced?"
Such blunt debunking made the other party not know how to reply, so they had no choice but to laugh it off. After all, it was King Jing who asked for good care and did not dare to offend.
"Let me ask you another question." Su Jiu said, "How much do you know about Gong Qing?"
……
In the evening, Su Jiu asked someone to bring two stoves and two pots to the yard, planning to cook for herself.
The ingredients were taken from the back kitchen, and a big hen was killed to make soup.
Watching the stove in winter is the hottest. The fragrant chicken soup spreads all over the yard. After a while, there was a sound of breaking through the air. Gong Qing jumped down and sat on the opposite side on a stool spontaneously.
Su Jiu glanced at him: "Greedy? Don't you just want to follow me and eat my flowers?"
Gong Qing's face was still indifferent, but he was slightly relieved by the light of the fire. He ignored Su Jiu's joke and just stared at the chicken in the pot.
Su Jiu used a fire stick to stir the fire in the furnace: "I didn't know that you were still a member of the Canglan royal family?"
Su Jiu was jealous like hatred: "Canglan caused me to pray deeply, and now I am involved because of it. You made me unable to see my husband and child, and I lived in a foreign land. Now my husband is also involved, and is used by King Jing. Don't feel guilty at all?"
Gong Qing looked at him and said only: "I am not from the royal family of Canglan."
"Hmph, someone told me today that you are a killer trained by the Canglan royal family, and you are not a good person."
"That was before."
"What's the difference from now?"
Gong Qing stopped talking again.
Su Jiu snorted: "If you don't say it, then don't drink this chicken soup."
Gong Qing looked at the fire and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "My sister was not even ten years old when she was sent to pray for marriage by the Canglan royal family."
Su Jiu looked over: "Forced? Is your sister a princess?"
Gong Qing paused for a moment: "She wandered with me when she was three years old. Later, she was favored by Canglan's royal family and brought into the palace. Since then, her younger sister has been kept in the palace, and I was sent to secret training. She is replacing Canglan. The marriage between the royal family and Daqi is, to put it bluntly, the proton of checks and balances."
Gong Qing is grateful for the kindness of the Canglan royal family and is willing to take advantage of it. He just hopes that his sister will have no worries about food and clothing in the palace and will not suffer any more.
Unexpectedly, the royal family of Canglan was exhausted, and in order to protect their princess, they even sent his younger sister to Daqi to replace her. His own sister was only ten years old at the time, and she went to a strange place alone, and I don't know how much suffering she suffered.
Faced with his questioning, in order to continue to control him, the Canglan royal family actually threatened him to tell the story about the fake princess if he didn't help them. At that time, his own sister might die immediately, let alone live a good life.
Later, he waited until Daqi was finally defeated. He was ordered to secretly escort the five sons of the emperor all the way to the northern border, repelling several waves of killers from Daqi on the way. The younger sister who stayed in Daqi was exchanged for it.
But Canglan Country lied to him again. To them, the girl sent out back then was just a substitute for the princess, and in their eyes, it was not as important as Daqi's prince hostage.
Later, the princess who entered Daqi was just a substitute, and it was finally exposed at this time.
Su Jiu's heart ached: "So, that's why you left Canglan?"
Gong Qing nodded.
"Then what do you mean King Jing saved your sister?"
"Until three years ago, I received a letter from King Jing, saying that he protected my sister's life and asked me to do something for him."
Su Jiu understood, and her complexion became very complicated: "To some extent, what is the difference between King Jing and those in the Canglan royal family? Isn't it all about taking advantage of it?"
Gong Qing looked at Su Jiu: "As long as my sister can live, that's enough."
Su Jiu's heart sank suddenly, it would be fine if this matter is really what he thought, I'm afraid it's just King Shijing using him.
