Early the next morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a strange visitor, who was none other than Yin Wei Anheng of Fengjing Mansion, who had just recovered from illness and returned to work.

Their Wei family ancestors were born poor and had a humble status, and they have been serving in the powerful Yan Jiama. A hundred years ago, it coincided with his meeting, and the ancestors of Guo and Li jointly created the three roads of Youbei, and the Wei family, who served the Yan family for generations, was naturally entrusted with important positions and shouldered the burden of managing the capital of Youbei.

Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, counting Yan Day, the prince who has not yet succeeded to the throne, Youbei has ushered in its fourth monarch, if Yan Tian ascends the throne, he Wei Anheng can barely be called a veteran of the three dynasties.

However, today, the protégé of the Son of Heaven and the elder of the Three Dynasties, Lord Wei, looked extremely solemn and gloomy.

As early as yesterday night, he sent his cronies to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance; Today, the carriage he was riding in did not even pass by the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and quietly stopped in the corner four streets away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he walked around the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and under the personal guidance of Li Fu, he sneaked into the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The reason why he is so cautious is because he is very self-aware. Neither his talents, nor his ability to perceive crises were far inferior to those of his ancestors; Therefore, at most, he can only become the guardian of the Wei family; As for leading the Wei family to a new level, it is not something he has the ability to do.

Therefore, he was an official for half his life, neither seeking to be promoted to the rank of a great minister step by step, nor seeking a protégé, so he was all over the world; He just wants to live safely until the day he takes off his official uniform, and if he can end up with a 'natural death', he can be regarded as achieving his goal.

This simple request was by no means an easy task for a foreign official from his family of slaves. Especially when he is still working in Fengjing City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if he wants to survive until 'safe retirement', his judgment of the current situation must be very accurate, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake!

It's like saying that the previous commander of the Golden Armor Army, His Royal Highness King Huai, Yan Xiang, was already a mutiny with a chance to win, but in the end it was still lost in the hands of Guo Shuang, a young famous general who was born out of nowhere; And the ministers of the interior and the outside who put a heavy foot on King Huai have long since turned into dust and disappeared in the long river of time; And the reason why he was able to survive in that turmoil was because he firmly established the basic principle that he would never act in response to the will without a jade seal.

Of course, the situation last time is very different from this one.

Master Wei knew that he was just a mediocre person, and he didn't bother trying to figure out this muddy water. And the way he chose to do this was to bet with Lee Deng, a 'born winner' who had never lost.

Imitating Li Deng is also the biggest secret that he has been in officialdom for many years and can still 'not get a leaf on his body'. Even his own wall-riding face, which is modeled after Prime Minister Li Cheng's cautious words and deeds, is 'improved'.

But since the war between Youbei and Beiyan, Li Deng has not gone out of the door, and he can't see people at all, and he lives in a simple place, how can Wei Anheng refer to his style of acting?

As a result, Wei Anheng, who had already smelled the danger coming, could no longer hold his breath; I had to send a trusted cronie to the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly and ask to meet Li Deng. However, even if his self-preservation method of Wei Anheng is a complete copy of Li Deng, he can be regarded as half of his 'apprentice', but the two have never been allies of the same camp!

Master Wei, who was full of anxiety, walked to a wing room in the backyard under the guidance of the housekeeper Li Fu. In this side room, he not only saw the prime minister, who had not appeared for a long time, but also saw Wan Changning, the left attendant of the household department, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair.

"Shi'an, ...... your legs?"

As soon as Wei Anheng saw the strange shape of Wan Changning's chair, he knew that he could no longer stand up. Wan Changning has been at home for a certain number of days, and at his young age, if it was just ordinary leg and foot inconvenience, he should have been alleviated a long time ago; Now that he's still in a wheelchair, there's no hope of recovery......

"It's okay to have Lord Yin of Laofu and Changning to care."

Hearing Wei Anheng's inquiry, Wan Changning just nodded and smiled at him with a warm face, and stretched out a hand to lead Master Wei to sit down on a Taishi chair.

"Master Wei came to the door today, I don't know what advice you have?"

Li Deng asked Wei Anheng questions while playing with the teacup in his hand with an indifferent expression.

"What kind of person is Wei? If you are immoral and incompetent, how dare you mention the word 'advice'? Don't hide it from the Prime Minister, Wei Anheng came today to ask the Prime Minister for advice. ”

"Oh? But I don't know how the old decay should help the Lord Wei? ”

Wei Anheng looked at Wan Changning, then at Li Deng, and after pondering for a long time, he seemed to have made a lot of determination:

"Hey, now in front of real people, Wei doesn't need to tell lies! It's all because I noticed that in the past few days, there has been a 'strange smell' in the wind on Youbei Third Road. Wei knew that he was talentless, immoral, and short-sighted, so he was afraid that he would be caught up in the undercurrent that came from nowhere, and he lost his life in vain...... As a last resort, I can only come to your mansion and ask the prime minister to show Wei a way out. Except for one life, Wan Mou has nothing else to ask for, he is willing to give up everything outside his body, and he hopes that the prime minister will be fulfilled. ”

These words fell on Li Deng's ears, but he raised his eyelids slightly; He first turned his head and looked at Wan Changning in a wheelchair, and then asked with a little inquiry:

"But the old man has been recuperating in the house for a long time, even if there is anything 'new' in the capital of 0, the old man doesn't know anything, not to mention the entire Youbei Third Road? Lord Wei came this time, I am afraid that I will ask Yu blindly......"

When Wei Anheng heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to his eyes and said:

"After the Prime Minister and Wei Anheng succeeded his father as the Yin of Fengjing Mansion, in order to protect himself, he had to become a deaf and blind 'blind official'; If there is anyone who can save a certain life in the three roads of the northern part of the world, then you are the only prime minister Li Cheng......"

Li Deng did not respond when he heard his heartfelt words, but just stared at Wei Anheng who was sitting opposite him with his eyes. These two gazes were cold and sharp, as if they had to see the poor Lord Wei from the inside out.

And Wan Changning, the left attendant of the Youbei Household Department, since he lost the patella of his legs, not only has he not become more and more depressed and decadent, but has 'evolved' from a gloomy and grumpy young official to a sunny and warm young man. At this time, he saw that the situation was cold, Master Wei showed a dilemma, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but have a 'heart of compassion'. So, with his slender and delicate fingers, he tapped the wooden handrail twice, and made a crisp sound of 'knock, knock':

"Lord Wei, judging from your past style, it is difficult for us to believe in your sincerity...... Since you want to cross the river at this time, you always have to pay some ...... for the ferry."

Although Li Deng was still staring at Wei Anheng, he was very pleased with the tremendous changes that Wan Changning had recently made. He didn't expect that the proud protégé who was good at everything, but his heart and temper were a little different, would have a huge change like a rebirth after losing his patella. And now Wan Changning no longer needs to be told of his life from time to time......

Look, right now, Wei Anheng sings 'red face', how natural it is!

Wei Anheng also knows that his official reputation is not very good, and the reputation of the white wolf who is accustomed to empty gloves has long spread all over Youbei Third Road, and it is also a 'negative example' for the two families to bet and reap profits. So, in the face of Wan Changning's 'polite refusal of excuses', he also hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Shi An is too worried, if he didn't have the determination to break the boat, Wei would not dare to come to the gate of your Prime Minister's Mansion in this sensitive period!"

When Li Deng heard this, he also asked in a slightly puzzled tone:

"Master Wei, the old man and Changning have been in poor health recently, and you can see this with your own eyes, and it is by no means a shirk. The two of us also don't know much about the recent turmoil on Youbei Third Road. The old man really couldn't imagine what kind of news did Master Wei get, and what kind of crisis did he foresee, so he was so panicked? ”

When Wei Anheng heard Li Deng's words, he looked at Wan Changning's knees covered with a thin blanket again, and finally gritted his teeth with hatred and said:

"After the start of the War between the two northern countries, Wei Mou, like the prime minister, was 'sick and bedridden' and no longer performed his duties as the governor. Originally, Wei planned to wait and see the day when Prime Minister Li Cheng recovered from his illness and then 'recovered', but since the fire was ignited at the East Customs, the queen mother ...... That is, the sister of the prime minister, she secretly sent the palace officials to my house to deliver the decree. Someone said that as long as I, Wei Anheng, can 'recover' as soon as possible and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince re-calm the current situation in Fengjing; Then in the near future, there may not be no possibility of an official worship of the prime minister......"

In fact, Li Deng and Wan Changning's master and apprentice were not surprised by the queen's bribery of Wei Anheng; The only thing that interests these two people is that Wei Anheng, who has always swayed from side to side on weekdays, and several bets, what forced him to make up his mind to break the kettle this time?

However, even though both of them were very curious in their hearts, they both put on a 'clear chest' appearance on their faces. And Wan Changning, who is accustomed to 'singing red-faced', also asked with a pretentious gesture after listening to his words:

"Oh...... Since the queen can make such a promise, why should Lord Wei hesitate? After all, the teacher's health is declining, and there is only one only daughter under his knees...... Originally, he was barely able to take over the position of his teacher, but now Lord Wei, you have also seen it, which king of this Huayu Continent will worship a paralyzed man as a phase? ”
