The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

Jiangnan was still as beautiful as ever, Ling Xuan got up early and held the piano in the yard while admiring the flowers while playing the newly learned tune, Shao Ziqian knelt down and helped Ling Xuan tie joints on his fingers, "My lord, are you going out today? "

"No." Ling Xuan took back his tied right hand and stretched out his left hand, "I'm too lazy to move today, the sun is so good that it would be best to bask in the sun in the yard."

Shao Ziqian nodded in response, "Then, today's invitations will all be rejected."

"En." Ling Xuan withdrew his hand and moved his fingers lightly on the body of the piano, found the right position, pressed it, and began to play slowly. Ling Xuan likes slow and slow music, and is not interested in the few famous musical instruments. It is very comfortable to slide the strings slowly.

"I don't see any guests today." Shao Ziqian stood at the door and calmly stopped Qi Huai, "Please come tomorrow."

The frivolous music sounded in the distance, more calm and proficient than it was half a month ago, what remained unchanged was the intrusive mood of the music player, no matter what time it was, he was still indifferent, Qi Huai smiled slightly, "Then, Cao Min Come back to bother tomorrow."

Shao Ziqian nodded casually and looked at Qi Huai. The attitude in his eyes was obvious. Qi Huai turned around and left. Shao Ziqian closed the door and went back to the courtyard. Finally, he didn't have to look at Chu Huai anymore. Shao Ziqian just wanted to stay quietly by Ling Xuan's side That's all.

Ling Xuan's movements of stroking the body of the piano were natural and smooth, no longer with the feeling of deliberately looking for music as before, and it made people feel much more comfortable after practicing.

Qi Huai did not go far. There are not many maids in the palace, and most of the guards are people in the dark. Qi Huai's coming in and out here is already very frequent. Even if he stays, no one comes out to take care of him. Not far away, Qi Huai sat down in the pavilion. The busy affairs of the past few days made Qi Huai have not had a good rest for a long time, just like Yin Tianming said, it is best to take a rest.

But Qi Huai didn't want to rest at this time, he didn't want to miss the matter about the prince, that's all, Qi Huai couldn't help leaning on the pillar in the pavilion, the prince seemed to start to play slowly after the incident in Chu State , it was because of this character that he didn't inherit the throne at the beginning.

I prefer freedom and art, Qi Huai was thinking in a daze, the melodious sound of the piano echoed in his ears, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

The army was on the way back, and another person in the capital also set off to pick up people. Chu Yuan packed his bags and prepared to go to the south of the Yangtze River. When Chu Ziyan and Dong Yong were always on the front line, there was no one who could call Ling Xuan. Only Chu Yuan was left. Huang Puwen didn’t think that Chu Yuan could call Ling Xuan back. He just wanted to see what Ling Xuan was doing now. Not to mention staying in Jiangnan suddenly. It seems that even the Qi family in Jiangnan is now doing what.

After receiving the imperial decree, Chu Yuan knelt down and thanked him, then got into the carriage and went to Jiangnan. This was already a few days ago. When Chu Yuan arrived at the palace where Ling Xuan was, he saw a person asleep in the pavilion. He didn't look like a guard or something, and after combining the previous news, Chu Yuan probably figured out who it was.

"My lord?" the guard following Chu Yuan asked, "Do you need to call that person over?"

Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze and listened to the sound of the zither, and spoke in a calm and unwavering tone, "No need." After speaking, he lifted his feet and walked into the courtyard.

When Shao Ziqian noticed that someone was coming again, he went to the door first, "My lord doesn't see any visitors today."

Chu Yuan looked at Shao Ziqian who had never seen him before and asked, "Your Excellency?"

Shao Ziqian looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Shao Ziqian, I will report anything, come back tomorrow."

Chu Yuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Since the lord doesn't want to see guests today, I'll come back tomorrow and just hand this over to the lord."

Speaking of which, Chu Yuan took a brocade box from the guard behind him and handed it to Shao Ziqian, "Please be careful."

Because Chu Yuan held it with both hands, Shao Ziqian also took it with both hands, "I will."

Chu Yuan nodded and turned to leave. Shao Ziqian closed the door and went back to the courtyard and put the brocade box beside Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan glanced at it and then stopped. He reached out to open the brocade box and took out the imperial decree. He glanced at Shao Ziqian and said, "Go and call Chu Yuan back."

He was talking about the person just now. Shao Ziqian stood up and went to open the door. Chu Yuan stood not far away and looked at a willow tree quietly, "Master Chu, the prince is calling you."

Chu Yuan was not surprised at all, but nodded lightly, "You are waiting here." He went in alone, and Shao Ziqian frowned at his indifferent attitude.

Ling Xuan waved to Chu Yuan while scratching the strings casually, "You have also been instructed!"

Chu Yuan just smiled helplessly, "Because the prince has not gone back, the emperor has been worried and wants to know what the prince is doing?"

"I didn't do anything." Ling Xuan smiled, Yin Tianming rolled his eyes when he saw Chu Yuan's face change, but he was already used to it, but Shao Ziqian behind him had some doubts about who this person was.

"If the prince likes Jiangnan to stay here, it's okay, but this time he may have to go back." Chu Yuan said apologetically, with a gentle smile on his face, as gentle as before.

"Go back later." Ling Xuan lay on the piano and tilted his head to look at Chu Yuan, "I'll stay here and wait for the eternal army to arrive before going back with them, so that I won't be caught alone."

Chu Yuan had expected Ling Xuan's reaction a long time ago, "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this point. Your Majesty has already announced the reward for this time, and most of the household affairs have been dealt with. It will bother the prince too much."

"So good?" Ling Xuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Has the matter been dealt with this time?"

"Not yet." Chu Yuan said helplessly, "There are still many things. Afterwards, many people in the army's rewards and General Ping Ding's army have reached the age of retirement. Re-processing, there are not enough people in the household department now, and almost all the people who took the imperial examination before went to the household department."

Ling Xuan shook his head sympathetically, "Is the Ministry of Rites relatively free now?"

"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have sent me out to look for the prince." Chu Yuan said and shook his head amusedly, "It's useless to ask me to come."

"It's almost as good as calling Chu Ziyan to come here. If you come, it's even more impossible for me to go back." Ling Xuan also smiled, "Jiangnan is beautiful, you should also take a rest."

"It's the first time to accompany the prince outside." Chu Yuan was a little emotional, "I just saw Qi Huai outside, and his recent behavior in Chu country satisfied the emperor, so I came here to see if this person is available."

"It's just that after seeing him just now, I think there should be no problem." Chu Yuan lowered his head and said gently, "Is it because of this that the prince asked him to be with me?"

"I didn't know he was here." Ling Xuan looked innocent, "You saw him, which means that Qi Huai is also outside?"

"He seems to be too sleepy so he fell asleep." Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Will the prince call him in?"

"Since he's all asleep, forget it." Although I don't quite understand why he can sleep outside, it's better not to disturb him when he's all asleep. "What did you mean by his actions in Chu State?"

"Don't you know, my lord?" Chu Yuan said in surprise, "Qi Huai's merchants have already been established in the Chu State's government, and now all the large and small merchants in Chu State have been acquired by Qi's family for unified management. Establish a business relationship with the imperial dynasty."

"Is it so fast?" Ling Xuan counted with his fingers in surprise, "It's only been a month, and it was only half a month ago when the news came, and at this time, isn't he..." He has been playing with me all the time ?Ling Xuan was ashamed, he could still do this without falling to the end just like eating, drinking and having fun.

"In fact, the Qi family's caravan arrived after the fall of Chu State." Chu Yuan said, "It seems that they followed the army and delivered the military rations while finishing the work."

"Then he was sure about this from the very beginning." Ling Xuan sighed, "We were sure from the beginning that we would win, and it's amazing that he made such a big bet."

"Probably because of the lord?" Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Because the lord is going to fight, we will definitely win. We all think so, and General Jingyuan must come, and I am completely relieved when I hear that the lord is already on the front line. Come down and stay in the capital."

"Because of me?" Ling Xuan smiled helplessly, "I don't know anything about war."

"My lord has his own way of fighting, so you don't have to worry about these details." Chu Yuan comforted, "Didn't you already win? Please rest assured, my lord."

"Even if you say so." Ling Xuan rubbed his neck, "Don't rely on me so much, after all, there are still people like that." Speaking of someone, Ling Xuan's eyes also changed slightly.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Chu Yuan immediately noticed the slight change, "Is he the king of Chu?"

"You still guessed pretty well, but it's not that he is the national teacher." Ling Xuan said while tearing off the joints in his hands, "You can also tell me about the destiny, that guy." Bai Quan.

"Are you talking about that national teacher?" Yin Tianming frowned, "That guy knows you too well, but it shouldn't be a problem if he's gone, right?"

"If he can come here once, I think he can come here a second time." Ling Xuan frowned and said, "After all, there are not too many people who want to take revenge on me, so the possibility of him dealing with me again is not small. gone."

"Are you talking about rebirth?" Chu Yuan asked, "The letter sent back by General Dong mentioned this matter, and I have a general idea of ​​it."

"That idiot Chutian is not important." Ling Xuan shook his hand, "The main person who cares is Bai Quan, the national teacher who suddenly appeared in Chu State. He has never heard of the state teacher in Chu State before."

Chu Yuan nodded, "It seems that the position was established by the king of Chu, and the national teacher seemed to convince the officials very quickly."

"But such a character, if I hadn't gone to the palace, we would not have known his existence." Ling Xuan sighed, "He came from another world, and now I don't know if he will appear again. Think about it. It’s just a headache, not how a world should deal with it.”

Chu Yuan tried his best to understand what Ling Xuan meant by another world, "Then what is the prince going to do?"

"I just want to prevent this guy from appearing as much as possible. There is no direct interest relationship between us. If it is not for Chutian, we have no need to be enemies." Ling Xuan said and waved his hands, "Then There is no need to pay too much attention to him, except for another situation." For example, he appeared to help his enemy, but it is difficult for such a thing to happen in such a big world, his enemy should be dead?

Not necessarily, if he was reborn, wouldn't he have too many enemies, not to mention other people, it would be very troublesome for Ouyang Wangu, Ling Xuan really couldn't guarantee that he could beat Ouyang Wangu.

"I understand the prince's worry." Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Then once such people appear, I will notify the prince immediately."

"Alright, after all, that guy is quite conspicuous." Ling Xuan nodded, "Short white hair and strange clothes, it seems to be their custom."

"I understand." Chu Yuan nodded half-heartedly, expressing that he had understood.

"Just pay more attention." Ling Xuan nodded and removed the last one and lay down on the lawn in satisfaction.

Chu Yuan watched Ling Xuan walk out of his worries in an instant, and Sun Yang couldn't help chuckling a few times, "I thought the prince would want to visit other worlds?"

"I've roughly thought about this kind of thing. After all, it's impossible not to be curious." Ling Xuan smiled, "But just look at that guy. There is a price to pay for this kind of thing. It’s only limited, so I don’t know how many things have not been dealt with, ah, ah, it’s so annoying.”

"Did you still think about doing it? Sure enough, this is the prince's style." Chu Yuan said with emotion, "What do you want to do if you find Prince Baiquan?"

"What do you want to do?" Ling Xuan thought carefully, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask something, because I saw some interesting things from him before, and now I want more Make sure."

"Sure enough, I'm still curious, about the different world?" Chu Yuan turned back with a smile and said, "I can go to a brand new world, even if I pay some price, I will want to go there."

"Well, that's right." Ling Xuan nodded after a pause, "If it's a price I can afford, I would like to see it. Another world, what do you think of Yin Tianming?"

"I have nothing to think about." Yin Tianming looked at Ling Xuan who was lying on the ground and said, "Of course I went with you, what is it like?"

"Let's keep up, it's really unexpected, but I feel like something you will do." Ling Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Well, why are you thinking so much? Will Bai Quan appear? Two words."

"If he also meets the prince, he will definitely appear." Chu Yuan said softly, but his tone was firm, as if he believed that the person who had never masked before would definitely appear again.

Ling Xuan got used to Chu Yuan going along with everything and gave a soft compliment, "That would be great."
