Chapter 118 The Clouds of the Capital
"Daddy, my punishment is over!" Nangong Xing bounced to Nangongchang's yard early in the morning, Huai Xiaoling opened the door and gave her an angry look.

"It's over? You're lucky, it's over so soon." Nangongchang smiled, Nangongxing's lips were pouted, she always felt that her father was gloating.

"Now that the punishment is over, let's see if you dare to use it indiscriminately in the future!" Huai Xiaoling gave her a blank look, and Nan Gongxing listened to her lesson while covering her ears.

"Daddy, Xing'er wants to ask you something!" Nangong Xing tilted his head and hammered Nangongchang's shoulders. Nangongchang knew that it was not a good thing for her to come, so he flipped through an ancient book and said, "Ask!"

"It's that Mei Xunzhi, dad, are you familiar with it?" Nangong Xing blinked, and Nangong Chang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the name. It seemed that these two little guys had finally found the root cause.

Seeing his fingers trembling slightly, he figured out what Huai Yunqian asked the waiter in white to monitor yesterday: "Since you have already been watched by him, why bother to ask me?"

"But we are not familiar with him, and I heard from the sissy that Daddy and Mei Xunzhi had crossed paths before, but why have I never seen him before!" Nangong Xing opened his eyes wide.

"I have nothing to see with him. He has always been a pedantic old man. His heart for fame and fame is greater than anyone else. If it is not necessary for him to work hard, I don't want to have any contact with him." Nan Gongchang seems to look down on Mei Xunzhi.

In the end, Nangongchang didn't give any valuable clues, but Nangongxing sensed that his father didn't like Mei Xunzhi very much.

This is very strange in Nangongchang, even if Nangongchang doesn't like it, he has never belittled anyone, let alone mentioned a person's shortcomings in front of Nangongxing, this is the first time.

Huai Yunqian was also puzzled when she learned about this matter. Judging from the secret files they stored here, Mei Xunzhi once supported Nangongchang in the war of destroying the country. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be good.

"There are only two possibilities. Either Mei Xunzhi did something later that made my father very dissatisfied, or Mei Xunzhi was acting from beginning to end, and my father saw it."

Apart from these two circumstances, Nan Gongxing couldn't think of any other reasons. Huai Yunqian said: "Mei Xunzhi is a well-known literary figure in the government and the public, and his disciples are all over the world. If such a person has a lack of virtue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince people." .”

"Then there is only the first situation!" Nan Gongxing clapped his little hands, and the two smiled at each other. It seemed that they had found the mysterious person behind the scenes.

Huai Yunqian asked people to stare at Meifu more vigorously, while she got up to prepare gifts. Nangong Xing wondered, "Why are you dressed so formally today? Don't you always dislike wearing prince's clothes?"

Huai Yunqian usually wears a white robe. As a prince, he should have a prince's uniform, but he has never worn it, so Nangong Xing was a little puzzled by changing it by accident today.

"I'm going to visit Prince Jin's mansion today by order. Uncle Prince Jin is an elder after all, so it should be more formal in terms of emotion and reason." Huai Yun adjusted his sleeves, and Nangong Xing was startled when he heard the words.

Did he really ask for his will?But the emperor hated King Jin so much, how did Huai Yunqian let the emperor issue this edict?
This started from the military newspaper not long ago. Although Huaiyunqian did a good job in suppressing the rebellion, there were some problems in the distribution of credit. A joint letter from the Luozhou battalion calling for unfairness was uploaded to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War did not dare to be negligent, and immediately presented it to the emperor. The emperor knew that it was Huai Yunqian's deliberate action. You must know that since Huai Yunqian led the white-clothed servants a few years ago, there has never been a mistake in dozens of battles, big or small.

But now something went wrong, of course he could see that Huai Yunqian did it on purpose, but as the saying goes, conspiracy is difficult to solve, Huai Yunqian has given him such a big face, and he can't see through his thoughts.

Naturally, Huai Yunqian would not be punished in the final result, so he had to go to Jinwang Mansion to visit the military affairs. After all, besides Nangongchang, Huai Qianren was the one who knew the soldiers best.

Huai Yunqian knew that the emperor would not let Nan Gongchang teach him, after much deliberation, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to let Huai Qianren teach him how to behave, to show his kindness and holiness by the way.

Huai Yunqian prepared the gift list, and was about to leave when she saw Nangong Xing sitting beside her motionless: "Aren't you going with me?"

"No need, I'll just listen on the roof then!" Nan Gongxing said lazily, Huai Yunqian nodded slightly, smiling when thinking about the scene for a while.

Nangong Xing watched him leave suspiciously, she always felt that Huai Yun smiled a little gloatingly, and saw her jumping on the roof, and took a shortcut to the Prince Jin's mansion.

Because the punishment from heaven was over, Nangong Xing was able to reopen her mind, and she walked carefully from the roof along the way, only to find that there are masters in every mansion in the capital.

It's just that she released her breath, so she didn't cause too much trouble for herself. The closer she got to the Prince Jin's mansion, the more oppressive she felt, with a cold killing intent.

Jin Wangfu.

Huai Qianren stood in front of the mansion gate in civilian clothes and looked at Huai Yunqian who got off the carriage. He thought of the first meeting between Liuzhou and Ji Xuan in his mind. Sure enough, his son was always like his mother.

"Uncle Wang, is your body safe?" Huai Yun lightly smiled and cupped his hands towards Huai Qianren, only to see that Huai Qianren was looking at him, or at the face of a woman who was somewhat similar to him.

"My lord!" Zhu Sheng called Huai Qianren from the side, and he finally regained his senses, with a mellow smile on his face: "I have received the imperial decree, let's enter the mansion, and I will tell you about the military exploits in detail .”

Huai Yunqian knew it in his heart, he knew that Huai Qianren and his mother had some connections that ordinary people didn't know about, but he was a little puzzled, could it be that his mother was also fascinated by Huai Qianren back then?

The door of the mansion was closed, and Huai Qianren stopped in his footsteps and looked towards the direction of the roof: "Your father and I are not rivals, but half friends, why are you so evasive, I won't eat you. "

Nangong Xing hid herself, she was very surprised how Huai Qianren found her, suddenly she felt someone pat her on the shoulder, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Sheng standing next to Huai Qianren, for some reason It was time to stand behind her, which shocked her into a cold sweat.

"Princess, my lord wants you to go down and meet." Zhu Sheng didn't hurt Nangong Xing, but the blue eyes of Nangong Xing made him realize one thing.

Nangong Xing jumped down with his mouth pouted, Huai Yunqian snickered beside him, he had already reminded Nangong Xing where the King Jin's Mansion was, and although the masters here were not as good as the Shenyin Mansion, they were hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Not to mention that Huai Qianren himself is a master who doesn't know the depth, and Zhu Sheng beside him makes Huai Yunqian even more afraid. Isn't it more terrifying for a master who can't even see the details?
"I'm very surprised, Nangong Chang has acted aboveboard all his life, but why do you like to lie on the roof and listen to others?" Huai Qianren said.

Nangong Xing snorted and did not answer. She still remembered the incident in Beijun clearly. At that time, Huai Qianren's son wanted the lives of the two brothers and sisters, but she never forgot the grudge.

"We have nothing to hide from you when we talk, just follow along." Huai Qianren didn't care, but walked all the way with Huai Yunqian to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

He is indeed a decisive general, but he is also a prince. Even in the previous dynasty, he was a prince with originality, so the courtyards are very beautiful.

"Although my place is not as safe as yours, when it comes to aesthetics, your father is much worse than me. He likes to be bored in the study and count people, and I don't like it." Huai Qianren mentioned Nangongchang again as soon as he opened his mouth. It can be seen that he still has some resentment towards Nangongchang.

"You can only live your mouth in front of me. If my father sees you, you won't even dare to say a word!" Nan Gongxing couldn't listen anymore, and replied with a word.

The atmosphere present instantly became awkward, Zhu Sheng also narrowed his eyes slightly, only Huai Qianren looked at her for a while and laughed: "What a sharp-mouthed girl, just like your mother, I really don't know what Nangong Chang usually is How can I stand you two?"

"I'll tell mother what you said!" Nangong Xing responded to him with teeth and claws. Perhaps she was amused by her innocence, and the gloom on Huai Qianren's face was also much less.

"What's the reason for coming here today, just be honest." Huai Yunqian's thoughts naturally couldn't be hidden from Huai Qianren, and Huai Yunqian didn't beat around the bush: "Come here today, and I want to ask Uncle Wang about his past."

"Let's talk!" Huai Qianren cast down the hook, and Huai Yunqian asked, "I wonder if Uncle Wang ever regretted what happened in Liuzhou back then?"

Huai Qianren's hand stopped, he didn't expect Huai Yunqian to ask this question, Zhu Sheng leaned on the pillar beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

"How can a person not regret something in his life? Regret or no regret, there is no way to make up for it." Huai Qianren sighed quietly, how could he not regret it?
Even Nan Gongchang has regrets, it is inevitable for such a person who is close to the immortal, let alone a layman like himself.

On the other side, in Shenyin Gongfu.

Nan Gongchang met someone he hadn't seen for a long time, he was Mei Xunzhi's housekeeper, he often came to the mansion many years ago, when the two families communicated frequently, this old man also took on the correspondence between Jingguo's two pillars.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so handsome!" The old butler was still smiling, and there was always a sense of intimacy when seeing an old friend again.

"Why did you come here today?" Nan Gongchang was not surprised, he already knew that Mei Xunzhi would let people come to visit.

"You should know that I have long since stopped asking about worldly affairs."

The old housekeeper said something in a low voice, Nan Gongchang pondered for a moment: "Let me change my clothes and wait for a while."

In an unknown small courtyard in the capital, a big black-faced man was sitting cross-legged in the center, surrounded by masked men holding knives.

Such scenarios appear in many places, and they are all equating to the same goal.
