Wei Chun and Yi Jiannan glanced at each other, all the words were said to this part, it was not good to ask again, they didn't believe that the reason would be so simple. The two vaguely speculated in their hearts that Wan Jia might have become interested in the imperial power of Ju and planned to install their own agents.

However, if you want to control a country, if you don't have enough strength, it's just a fool's dream, and they even have some expectations, the deeper the Wanjia is involved in this troubled water, the better, if there is a conflict with big forces such as the Ghost Gate, the Wei and Yi families can sit back and reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Yi Jiannan smiled and said, "The mundane things in the mortal world naturally have nothing to do with us. It's just that I don't know if the promise of the patriarch can be fulfilled?"

After Wan Zhongqiu was stunned for a moment, he understood, and said with a smile: "This is natural, one in advance, and one in advance." As he spoke, he poked his right hand into the storage belt around his waist, took out a delicate jade-white box, and then opened it with a flick of his left hand.

A mellow blue elixir appeared in front of Wei Chun and Yi Jianyan.

Wei Chun's expression became a little nervous, his eyes shrank slightly, staring at the elixir, while Yi Jiannan's eyes lit up, his face swelled with excitement, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Seeing this, a sneer flashed on his face, and he smiled slightly: "Since the two Daoists agree to the conditions of the patriarch, this Tsukidan will belong to the two of them." After he closed the box, the conversation suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Zhuji Dan is not easy to come by, we only have a few in our family, I hope that the two Taoist friends will abide by the agreement and not do anything that affects the family." ”

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Wan Zhongqiu handed it to Wei Chun.

Wei Chungang wanted to say something, but Yi Jiannan rushed to take it from the side, and said excitedly: "Wan Daoyou, don't worry! Our Wei and Yi families have always been trustworthy, when have we done something that makes people spurn." As he spoke, his eyes never took his eyes off the box for a moment.

Wei Chun's face suddenly showed anger, and then he was pressed down again.

After a small river passed through the east of Yongning City, there was a sudden sharp turn, which slowed down the water a lot and silted up into a small lake, and the Ning Wangfu was built on the inner side of the lake.

With mountains in the distance and water in the distance, the scenery in the palace is not to mention the beauty.

As night falls, the lights come on.

In the palace, a waterfront pavilion is brightly lit, the figure is crowded, on a zigzag trestle bridge connecting the shore, a lantern is hung every few meters, looking at it from afar, it is like a red long dragon lying on the water, and the water pavilion is the faucet of drawing water.

At this time, in addition to a few soldiers on the trestle, there were more than a dozen servants shuttling back and forth, they were either holding cups or dishes, and everyone was very busy.

In the pavilion, from time to time there is the sound of silk and bamboo, a girl sings the local tune tactfully, although the singing voice is not as good as the famous prostitutes in the capital, but there is also a foreign atmosphere, every time the girl sings to the wonderful place, there is a middle-aged man's cheers inside. After him, there will be men's voices of different ages, one after another.

"Good, good, good singing!"

"This Yan girl invited by the prince is definitely not inferior to everyone in Beijing!"

"If it weren't for the prince, we wouldn't have been able to appreciate this kind of charm. ”

On the main seat in the pavilion, a middle-aged man with a short beard and a slightly chubby figure was fascinated by his eyes, shaking his head, and he looked intoxicated, but he didn't know if he was admiring the minor tune opposite, or was slapped into the sky by the sycophants of several subordinates around.

On both sides of the middle-aged man, leaning on the railing of the pavilion, there are some tables and chairs, more than ten people are seated, in the middle of the pavilion, a girl wearing tribal costumes, holding a strange musical instrument in her arms, is babbling and singing non-stop.

The girl has a round face, a slightly dark complexion, and her appearance is not very standard, but her voice is unusually good, and her eyes are even clearer, adding a little cuteness.

Most of the people around were like the prince, and their attention was on the girl's singing, but there were also a few officers who looked like big men, and the more they listened, the more they frowned. They unconsciously looked at a man in his thirties with a thin face and a grim expression nearby.

This person was dressed in ordinary green cloth clothes, and he seemed to be just a scribe, but the power between his eyebrows was not angry, and every move was full of the killing aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Next to the man in his thirties sat a beautiful young woman.

The woman was wearing a white dress and a white skirt, carrying a simple long sword, looking heroic. From time to time, she looked at the singing girl with a hint of appreciation, but when she turned her head to look at the man beside her, her eyes were replaced by a sense of tenderness.

Seeing several officers looking at him, the thirtie man looked at King Ning who was intoxicated by the music, shook his head helplessly, and then picked up his wine glass and motioned for a few people to drink. The wine they drank was a tribute from the local tribes, which had been supplied to the emperor before, and since the situation in Ju changed and King Ning guarded Yongning City, this tribute has become his private collection. This sake is made from wild fruits in the mountains, and the strength is not high, even if you drink a few more glasses, you will not get drunk.

At the end of the song, a handsome young man waved at the tribal girl and the servants, and after they all retreated, he said, "Lord Wang, this afternoon, Wang Changshun sent someone to urge us to send troops as soon as possible to help them exterminate the rebels in the Xing'an Mountains. The first few times, we were all vain and didn't send elites, so now can we think about it. The Xing'an Mountains are close to the hinterland of the Ju Kingdom, and if it is in the name of conquering the rebels, it will be more beneficial to the prince's major affairs. ”

During this time, he swept over the people present one by one, and when he saw the man in his thirties, a slight cold glint flashed in his eyes, but when his gaze moved to the woman with the sword on his back, his eyes couldn't help but stop on her face for a few more moments, and his admiration was revealed.

The woman seemed to notice this, and snorted disdainfully, and her voice, mixed with some power beyond the control of mortals, reached the young man's ears. The young man's chest suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a heavy object, and his body couldn't help shaking slightly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly looked at others.

Next to the young man, sat a middle-aged man in a gray robe, this person leaned on a chair, as if he was sleeping, it was exactly the Wanzhongqiu for Wei Chun and Yi Jian to send Zhu Ji Dan. Sensing that something was wrong with the young man, his eyes widened slightly, and his right hand secretly patted the other party.

As soon as the young man's body heated, the feeling of discomfort disappeared.

This change happened almost instantaneously, and only a few people in the audience understood what had just happened. In the dress of a girl, if you talk about people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid most people will believe it, but Wan Zhongqiu's clothes are a little nondescript, officers, scribes, merchants, none of them have anything to do with him, but like a liar walking the rivers and lakes.

However, they were able to participate in King Ning's banquet, and it was obviously not a simple role.

King Ning seemed to be still immersed in the song just now, and did not reply immediately, but waited until a moment later before he opened his eyes and said lightly: "What Wan Changshi said is extremely true, and this king also intends to test the training results of the army. I don't know what Deng Changshi thinks?"

Ning Wangfu is also a long history. Since then, the identities of these two people are about to come out, one is Wan Zhongjian's youngest son Wan Tianhua, and the other is Deng An's eldest brother Deng Hong.

Deng Hong's expression was solemn and he replied: "Soldiers, murder weapons." If the prince just wants to test the loyalty of the army, then, in the next suggestion, it is okay not to fight. ”

When Wan Tianhua heard this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed imperceptibly in his eyes.

"Oh?" King Ning said meaningfully: "From Deng Changshi's point of view, is Wan Changshi's suggestion feasible? This king thinks that if we can lay a chess piece in the Xing'an Mountains before the incident, we will definitely be able to exert its unexpected effect at that time." ”

Deng Hong smiled slightly and said: "Have you ever thought that if we really exterminate the rebels in Xing'an Mountain, how will other forces that rebel against Wang Changshun think of us? Although the prince is nominally loyal to the imperial court, most of those rebel forces regard the prince as their own. Throwing away a batch of chess pieces for the sake of a chess piece is not feasible. ”

King Ning pondered for a moment, his face sank, and said: "Could it be that Deng Changshi wants this king to be trapped in this remote place for the rest of his life? If he Wang Changshun doesn't take the last step, won't this king have to wait forever? He, Wang Changshun, has vested interests, can maintain the status quo, and can pass on power to his descendants, but this king can't, and this king can't swallow this breath until he dies!"

Deng Hong said indifferently: "Otherwise, we can wait for the opportunity to move and seize some territory, instead of blindly obeying Wang Changshun's command." The detailed report sent by the minister said that recently, the butcher Zhang of Dongyu City has been in close contact with the capital. This butcher had been impeached by his husband for the crime of indiscriminate killing, and he was able to save his life by opening up Wang Changshun's relationship, and now the forces are deterred by the people of the National Teacher's Mansion, and Zhang Butcher definitely wants to take refuge in Wang Changshun. Before he could announce it, we took East Corner City first in the name of clearing out the rebels. The east corner of the city is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the west is the hinterland of Ju country, which can be regarded as a place that can be attacked and defended. ”

In King Ning's worried eyes, he immediately had a spirit, nodded, and said, "Deng Changshi's suggestion is more in line with the original intention of this king, but I don't know who to send to attack Butcher Zhang?"

Wan Tianhua saw that King Ning's heart was moved, and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, no! Although Deng Changshi's suggestion is good, it has to take a big risk, once it fails, other forces will inevitably take advantage of the weakness, and Yongning City will not be guaranteed at that time." Moreover, there are many generals in Dongyu City, and the strength is not under Yongning City, and the butcher is a recognized general in Ju State, with the courage of ten thousand people, and he is insidious and cunning, and he is good at using soldiers. If he chooses to attack Dongyu City at this time, not only will he not get Wang Changshun's support, but he will also be wary of Yongning City again, which will do more harm than good to the prince's future affairs. The minister thought that only by sending troops to the Xing'an Mountains was the best choice. ”

After hearing this, King Ning hesitated: "Wan Changshi's worries are not as reasonable. He then looked at Deng Hong again and said: "Deng Changshi has rich experience in the army, and his clan brother respects you very much in his letter, so there must be a way to deal with this matter, so it is better to listen to it." ”
