Qingchuan History

Chapter 771 Calling
The scarlet color of Shangguan Yan's dress was brighter than the early summer in the courtyard, and those peach blossom eyes were also brighter, reminding people of Shangguan's concubine.

Jing Tingge twitched his wrist, but the opponent let go.Still too close, she moved her body from the other side and took two steps to stand in the hall.

"Master Yantie was ordered to tour the country on business, but sneaked into Wei, and His Majesty Qi Jun found out, how do you explain it?"

"There is nothing I can hide from my lord." Shangguan Yan clasped his fists in the air, "I am here, I have obtained permission."

"Sure enough, it's not just to clean up the country's business operations." Jing Tingge walked towards the scattered porcelain on the other side of the wall, "I thought it was for you to take advantage of years of business to dig out the private property of the important ministers of the family, so as to peek under the iceberg. .”

"Indeed. Qingqing is in the northern country, and she can see everything clearly."

Jing Tingge frowned slightly. "Just admit it to me?"

"You guessed it, my denial is just an attempt to cover up."

"Master Salt and Iron used to spread all over Qingchuan, and after returning to Qi, they all handed over to the treasury of Qi State." Then continue to guess, Jing Tingge walked slowly to look at the dark and dark sky. Wei Guo, it seems that he wants to continue to spy on the iceberg."

"Indeed." Shangguan Yan nodded again, and followed her side to appreciate Seiko.

"Can you see it?"

"Wei Nan knew a little bit before, this time is to reconfirm. Cangwu has just arrived and hasn't started yet. There are few people in Beidi, so I don't have much expectation."

"The so-called buildings are ten thousand feet tall and thousands of feet deep into the ground. These families with the deepest roots are the parties on this century-old chessboard."

When she spoke the last word, she stopped so suddenly that Shangguan Yan almost ran into the beauty by surprise. "You don't have to do this if you want to get close to me!"

The moment Jing Tingge stopped suddenly, his face turned, capturing the surprise before the other party's smile.

"Sure enough. Although I was the only one who heard the frontier family motto, Gu Xinglang had already guessed seven or eight points. Ji Huan knew that the master had guessed seven or eight points. He should have confronted the teachers and students in Yunshui, so he had no hesitation in asking to be an official. , to protect the family business." She definitely looked at him,
"So what is your identity? You have always been on the board, or did you take your parents' last words from your sister?"

Shangguan Yan looked at her like a child, and spoke as if teasing a little girl: "Your senior sister asked similar questions before I left. It seems that we have exchanged messages when we sent letters."

Not that.

However, since Ruan Xueyin asked, it means that she also got some clues in Qi State, which is adding to her recent guesses.

"My guess is that the two great masters of the two countries all believe that these three words are a tacit understanding," she deliberately did not explain, "When the time is right, we will take action together. Before that, we may join hands or oppose each other, one for self-interest, The second is to promote timing."

Shangguan Yan looked stunned, "Which three words?"

Jing Tingge sighed, moved slowly and continued to admire the exquisite products in the room, "It seems that you intend to ask Gu Xinglang to do it first. Forget it, I will assist the king to rejuvenate the country, and after the battle of Qi State is over, I will evaluate the gains and losses and formulate countermeasures. "

Shangguan Yan shook his head with a smile: "I don't understand what you are saying. I am Qi Chen now, and I act only according to the master's orders."

"Once upon a time, your father said the same to me!"

As soon as Shangguan Yan finished speaking, the two large doors swung open.

I don't know if the person who broke the door was angry or his feet were too strong, but there was a lot of movement, and when the two people in the room turned around, it was Murong Xun who stopped and stood still.

Sure enough, it was kicked away.

Shangguan Yan smiled and clasped his fists:
"Meet Wei Jun."

Murong Xun entered the room, glanced at the two people standing next to each other, and said in a deep voice:

"The century-old family of the Wei Kingdom, the great family who worshiped twice, once changed masters and then returned to the homeland, can speak of loyalty to Lord Qi in a high-sounding manner. The salt and iron envoys have a cheeky face that is unmatched in the world."

"With the ups and downs of the world, it's hard to survive without brazenness." Shangguan Yan's face was as flat as a lake, and his brows and eyes were full of spring. "In an emergency, you can still save your life."

Murong Xun came closer and smiled: "Qi Guo's imperial envoy went to another country to privately meet with my close ministers. In fact, there are solid reasons for killing you. It's too early to tell whether Yan Tie's brazenness will save his life or lose his life."

"Your Majesty's reason for killing people is nothing more than to bring disaster to the country of Wei. It is Mr. Jing who is biased against you. If you are suspected of causing harm to the country, Mr. Jing will not be blamed for collaborating with the enemy? Three years ago, Master Lu Xian of the Hanzhang Palace had planned it once. Treason is a felony, and she has been on the cusp of public opinion recently, is Your Majesty going to personally push her to drown?"

Murong Xun knew that this person must have good eloquence after traveling all over the world, but he didn't expect that the first confrontation was already full of firepower, and he was a bit stunned for a while, Jing Ting sang seriously:

"Master Shangguan is here to do missions for Qi. It will be of great use to your lord. I have the courage to ask your lord to allow him to travel in this country. If it is difficult to rest assured, you may as well send someone to accompany you." After a little hesitation, he said:

"The minister is willing to accompany you."

"No." He answered so quickly that the two people on the opposite side thought he hadn't thought it through.

After Murong Xun finished answering, he felt it was a joke, coughed and then said solemnly:

"It's been less than two months since you came back with your driver. The Danfu Academy has just started to look good, and the children's schoolwork has just started to improve, so you can't get away."

indeed.Jing Tingge nodded: "Then Your Majesty has agreed to activities within the territory of Mr. Shangguan."

"It's unnecessary for you." Shangguan Yan said with a smile, "I'm such a living person, and I don't have to hide my face. I can enter the capital with the acquiescence of His Majesty Wei Jun."

Jing Tingge was startled.

"Is it my lord and His Majesty who have greeted you?" Shangguan Yan asked again.

Murong Xun didn't comment.

Shangguan Yan cupped his hands and bowed lightly: "The next itinerary, but according to His Majesty's arrangements."

The three of them came out here, thinking they wanted to say goodbye, but Murong Xun was not in a hurry, it was rare for him to leave the palace and he was interested in this private house.

Then they went in order according to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and walked into the next room, which was full of tea products, from various tea leaves to exquisite pots and utensils to make tea.

"This place was originally a tea room, and it also sells wonderful and elegant things. These are the treasures that I have searched all over the mainland." Before the other two could ask questions, Shangguan Yan took the initiative to say.

"It turns out that this is Lord Yantie Envoy, oh, it should be one of Qi Jun's properties in Cangwu now." Jing Tingge picked up an exquisite purple sand pot and looked at it casually, "Then the shopkeeper or servant who is resident here , is it for careful work?"

With that said, look outside.

In early summer, the courtyard is quiet and beautiful, empty and untouched.

"I want to see the girl today, so I will drive them away. I will be closed for a day." Shangguan Yan smiled, "It's my lord who arranges it carefully, and I don't know."

"You really don't hesitate to risk your life when I tell you that this place is Qi Jun's territory." Murong Xun didn't mean it seriously, and casually picked up an oval flat stone that could be grasped in the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty and Mister should think so," Shangguan Yan laughed at Yan Yan, "Your Majesty dares to decide this place, dare to reveal that it is Qi Jun's property, it just shows that there is no detailed work here, and it is not a stronghold."

This is the reason.Murong Xun carefully looked at the pattern painted on one side of the boulder, a branch of pink lotus, a piece of bergamot, his heart moved inexplicably, but he didn't know why.Then put it back to its original place and said: "I'm coming back from this place. I heard that the other courtyard of Shangguan Xiangguo is also in the north of the city—"

"It's here." Shangguan Yan smiled and nodded, "Sister She was raised here for four years before she went to Jidu."

The other two realized that he was talking about Shangguan concubine.

Ruan Xueyin also said that the reason why Shangguan Mi has never revealed her background is because she has not lived in the Xiangfu since she was born.

"But you turned it into a shop."

"The children are all away from home. The mistress often lives in Weinan, and the old man lives in the main house. Such a separate courtyard is useless. Leave it to me so that it will not be abandoned."

It is rumored that father and son are at odds and have no contact at all. This sentence is considered a loophole.How could he hand over the house to him and turn it into a shop if he didn't communicate.

"This stone is unique. I have never seen a second one in Qingchuan." Shangguan Yan picked up the oval flat stone that Murong Xun put down, pinched it with two fingers Rulan for a while, and handed it to Jing Tingge, "Send it to you gone."

Murong Xun snorted coldly: "There are only a lot more treasures in Wei Palace than here, and there are too many unique ones that surpass this one."

"However, there are many people in His Majesty's palace, so pick and choose, good things may not be able to share Mr. Jing's corner."

Jing Tingge always felt that his gift had a deep meaning, took the round stone and carefully put it in his sleeve, but still felt unsafe, he looked around for a kit of suitable size, wrapped it up and made it safe.

Murong Xun felt even more annoyed when he saw her appearance that was regarded as a treasure.

For the rest of the time, the three of them wandered around several big houses. There were really some good things. The Shangguan banquet also chose a gift for the monarch. It was an emerald finger ring, deep blue almost black.Murong Xun did not refuse, and put it in his sleeve like Jing Tingge.

When walking outside, the sun had already faded, Murong Xun said:

"There should be a banquet for—"

"Your Majesty is very polite. Your Majesty has been away for a long time and hastened to return to China. Your Majesty's tolerance is already a courtesy."

"Qi Jun wants to know the details of his country's business operations, and I also want to know. The only condition for tolerating you is one. The result of the investigation, no matter how big or small, will be reported to the Lord. I just remonstrated from Mr. Jing, and I will send people to guard Yantie make."

Shangguan Yan hissed and thought carefully for a moment: "Does Your Majesty just want to know the situation in this country or—"

"If you wish to report the situation of Qi State, I will be disrespectful to you."
