The devil is coming

Chapter 490 Lake Heart Pavilion
A few side dishes,
A few glasses of wine,
The two brothers sit opposite each other,
Drink and eat,
It’s easy to imagine the future,
This has been a custom since ancient times.
The last time Uncle Zheng and Ji Chengjue sat across from each other like this, they were in Beifeng County.
This time, the two brothers were in Yanjing City.
Compared to last time,
Zheng Fan, who was once just the captain of the Hutou City Guarding School, is now Uncle Hirano with [-] cavalry;
Ji Chengjue, who was once just an idle and good-for-nothing prince, was now so oppressed that the East Palace couldn't breathe and even asked Emperor Yan to step in personally to balance the situation.
of course,
I once boasted that you should conceive yourself or that I should treat your son well, but it is still far away from now;
But compared to the beginning, both of them have actually made great progress.
Yanjing is really far away from Xuehaiguan, and the two of them don't know when they will meet again, but they think that when they meet next time, there will be huge changes compared to now.
We drank a lot of wine, one glass after another. Neither party tried to persuade us to drink, but they both felt that if they didn’t get drunk tonight, it would be a bit embarrassing for them to meet each other for the first time in the past few years.
Then the result is,
Both parties were drunk.
He Sisi came in once and saw the two men lying there drunk, so she personally took two blankets to cover them without waking them up.
Wait until morning,
Ji Chengjue woke up first,
His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had not rested well, but the routine he had developed allowed him to wake up on time.
Looking at Zheng Fan sleeping soundly across from him,
A smile appeared on Ji Chengjue's lips,
Then suddenly I felt a little embarrassed to smile like this to a man, so I immediately put it away.
get up,
He was ready to go to court.
Although I said last night that I would not go to court today, who woke me up?
When passing by Uncle Zheng, Ji Chengjue was surprised to find that Uncle Zheng also opened his eyes.
"Hey, are you awake?" Ji Chengjue said.
"After too many wars, it's hard to sleep like a dead pig."
"Then you can sleep a little longer. I'm going to court. Today is the prince's first day in charge of the country. I have to go and support him. I'll ask Sisi to arrange breakfast for you later. Remember, go and take a look. My son, I forgot all about drinking last night."
Uncle Zheng waved his hand at Ji Chengjue in disgust, as if he was shooing away flies.
The carriage outside was ready. Ji Chengjue hurriedly washed up and got on the carriage. In the carriage, some simple breakfast was prepared as usual. He was not actually hungry, but he still forced himself to eat some.
"Your Highness had a great time drinking with Uncle Heping last night." Eunuch Zhang said with a smile.
Ji Chengjue nodded and said, "In the past few years, everything seems to have changed, except him."
"Uncle Hirano, you are indeed a wonderful man."
"Yeah, there really aren't many people as interesting as him in this world."
……
Uncle Zheng has no habit of going back to sleep. He always wakes up as soon as he wakes up.
After washing and having breakfast, He Sisi came over in person to take Uncle Zheng to see the child.
He Sisi was born in the folk, and at the same time knew the relationship between her husband and Ping Yebo, so she did not have the slightest airs or rules to restrain her. After receiving her precious son from the wet nurse, she delivered it directly to Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng took it and gave him a hug.
The child is white, tender and very cute.
He Sisi smiled and said: "If you pass on your legacy, call me godfather."
"Err, eh, eh, eh..."
The child cannot speak yet.
Uncle Zheng said with some embarrassment: "My people have all been arranged in the camp in Beijing, and the things are also there. The meeting gift that was originally prepared for him can only be delivered by time difference in the afternoon."
"Uncle, let's see what you said."
Uncle Zheng tried to touch the child's swaddling clothes with the magic pill in his clothes, but the magic pill had no reaction.
It can be seen that Magic Pill is not interested in all children, but only dotes on Tiantian.
Of course,
Uncle Zheng believes that the magic pill will protect his children in the future.
Ok,
probably,
may,
That's right.
After teasing the child for a while, Uncle Zheng handed the child to the wet nurse and walked to the yard.
In the yard, stood a young father-in-law, who was Eunuch Zhang’s godson, little Eunuch Zhang.
Little Eunuch Zhang should have been left by Ji Chengjue specially for him.
Uncle Zheng sat down on the steps and asked:
"Princess Zhenbei Hou Mansion, are you back?"
"If I go back to my uncle, the princess has already returned to Beijing and is still living in the back garden. A few days ago, the princess even went to Leicheng Temple in Xishan to pay incense."
Uncle Zheng nodded.
It seems that
The princess must have woken up after returning to Beijing.
After all, the capital has a lot of elites.
But this is difficult to do,
in fact,
Uncle Zheng has no official duties in the capital these days. He just has to be prepared to be summoned to the palace by His Majesty at any time. The rest of the time, he is free to move around.
But since the princess's wife is in the capital, Uncle Zheng really doesn't dare to run around.
"By the way, send someone to pick up some of my men in the camp outside the city and bring them to the capital."
"Uncle, His Highness already gave the order this morning."
The Blind Man and the Savage King, as Zheng Fan's personal entourage, were placed in the military camp outside the city after entering the city. This has always been the rule. When the general enters the capital with military status, his escorts and entourage must first wait. In the military camp.
It is not that there are some generals who will arrange previous movements in their mansions, but those movements are all separate from the military status.
Blind Man and the others could have skipped this process, but it would have been too eye-catching. Beijing was no better than other places, so it was better to be as low-key as possible. I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at them.
After all, he is now qualified to be stared at.
"Uncle, do you want to go out? I will arrange a carriage for you."
Uncle Zheng immediately shook his head and said, "No, no."
That crazy woman is in the capital, so she better not go out.
The capital is no better than Xue Customs. Half of the camp outside the capital is Zhenbei Army.
That crazy woman was very smart, and she must have known exactly who caused her to be in a coma for half a year.
"Are you going out?"
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng turned around and looked, who was it if it wasn't the Sword Master?
"Yes, I want to go out."
said,
Uncle Zheng pointed at little Eunuch Zhang and said:
"Prepare the car."
"Yes."
Little Eunuch Zhang went down to prepare, and the Sword Master came over.
"Were you okay yesterday?" Uncle Zheng asked with concern.
"Wei Zhonghe found two people to drink tea with me."
"What didn't you say?" Zheng Fan asked.
"What are you going to say? To win me over to Dayan?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
"When I'm at Xue Customs, aren't I also working for you, the Yan people?"
"That's true, but there are still some differences, you know."
Uncle Zheng doesn't believe in a master of Sword Master's level, so the court won't be tempted.
"They didn't say it because they knew I wouldn't agree."
"That's fine."
"Where are you going later?"
"Go to the Lake Pavilion."
"Go and see the prince you deposed?"
"This is a misunderstanding. It was Marquis Jingnan who deposed him."
"Not you?"
"I'm just a tool, a tool."
"Although I have never been an official in the imperial court, I am really curious. What does it feel like to serve as an official in the imperial court for someone who personally deposed a prince?"
Uncle Zheng smiled and said,
Road:
"He's also a tool."
The sword master was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
quickly,
The carriage is ready.
Little Eunuch Zhang drove the car himself, while Uncle Zheng and the Sword Master sat in the carriage and drove towards the Huxin Pavilion.
"As Dayan's uncle, he is actually worried about being assassinated in the capital."
The sword master's words obviously contained a hint of ridicule.
"It's that woman, the one who asked you to kill a pig last time to help scare her."
"The princess?"
"Correct."
"Does she dare?"
"On the night of Xiao Liuzi's wedding, she dared to let Li Liangshen and the seventh uncle beside him go to the prince's mansion to assassinate Xiao Liuzi."
this matter,
Very few people know about it, because both parties involved neither made it public nor dared to do so.
But Xiao Liuzi mentioned this matter emphatically in his letter to Zheng Fan, and kept calling the woman a madman, madman, madman!
This is also understandable,
After all, Xiao Liuzi's wedding day almost became his death anniversary.
The sword master said: "That night, the queen also passed away."
"Why do you always get to the crux of the problem?"
The sword master said, "Why do I hear a hint in your tone that I can be so smart?"
"Sorry, I'll hide it deeper next time."
"Tianjia is really ruthless."
"You seem to have forgotten that you are also a member of the Tian family."
The sword master's surname is also Yu, which is the surname of the Jin Dynasty.
"I don't even think I count."
"But at least it's a clan, and this matter won't involve the Tian family's ruthlessness or ruthlessness."
"But you actually have an idea in your mind, right?"
"Hard to say."
"I'm curious, what will you do if your children are like this in the future?"
"As long as he doesn't borrow usury, I'll let him go."
Usury, that is, borrowing at usury.
"Free and easy."
"I have never thought about hoping that my son will become a dragon or that my daughter will become a phoenix. Living like this is too tiring."
"Indeed, it's really tiring to do this to children."
"I said I was too tired."
"it is good."
"What about you, when are you going to have another baby?"
"Not urgent."
"When I get back, hurry up and have a baby with my sister-in-law, and I will be his godfather."
"You seem to have quite a few godsons."
"Haha."
At this time,
The sword master suddenly said:
"There is sword energy."
Uncle Zheng immediately changed from sitting to crawling.
Road:
"Li Liangshen?"
Damn it, that crazy woman was so crazy when she started so quickly!
"He's a ninth-grade swordsman, in the restaurant next door."
"..." Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng sat back again and said, "You did it on purpose."
The sword master said nothing.
"I don't like this place, I don't feel safe." Uncle Zheng said with emotion.
"Do you like Snow Customs?"
"Actually, I don't like Snow Customs either. The climate there is not very pleasant."
"You ask so much."
"Actually, not much. If the capital can be made as safe as Snow Customs, I will be satisfied."
"Isn't this called asking for too much?"
"People always have to have dreams, right?"
The carriage arrived at the Huxin Pavilion.
Uncle Zheng showed the silver token given to him back then, and the guard let him go.
The sword master stayed at the door and did not go in.
Uncle Zheng, led by two deaf-mute men, walked into the depths of the Huxin Pavilion. After they opened the iron door, Uncle Zheng continued to walk inside.
He saw a lake and the pavilion in the lake.
Uncle Zheng walked along the corridor towards the pavilion.
In the pavilion, a head slowly poked out. The man should have been lying down at first, but he got up when he heard the movement here.
He was wearing white clothes with ink stains, and his hair was a little long. He didn't look very decadent, but rather elegant like a mountain hermit.
two people
Four eyes facing each other.
"Uncle Zheng?"
"I have met His Highness the Third. It seems that His Highness lives in such beautiful scenery and does not forget the worldly affairs."
"Thanks to your blessing, I can still see the newspaper here. I also know that Uncle Zheng, you have made great achievements in the past few years. You are truly a pillar of my family."
Uncle Zheng sighed,
Road:
"You didn't expect me to come here to see you, did you?"
The third prince smiled and said,
Road:
"Yeah, I didn't expect that."
then,
The third prince took out a pair of black crossbows.
Aimed at Uncle Zheng.
"..." Zheng Fan.
---
After about an hour,
Uncle Zheng walked out of the Huxin Pavilion, holding a scroll in his hand.
Got on the carriage parked outside.
Mr. Zhang asked openly:
"Uncle, where are you going?"
"go back."
"Yes, uncle."
inside the carriage,
The Sword Master looked at Zheng Fan who came up and said, "It took a lot less time than I expected."
"Actually, there's not much to talk about."
"I thought you would have a lot to talk about."
"When I went in, he was waiting for me with a crossbow."
"It's not that surprising."
"That crossbow is made of paper, and he colored it with ink."
"interesting."
"He guessed that I was coming, and I had to come."
"Because this is your explanation." The sword master said.
"Can you even guess this?"
"That tone of yours is here again."
Uncle Zheng took out the scroll and opened it.
Inside is a painting,
What is painted is a pass, a scene of a battle.
"This is what he painted. It's my Battle of Snow Customs."
"Ah."
"He is much smarter than he was back then. It's a pity. Tell me, why do people have to suffer setbacks in order to grow up?"
"This sounds like a good thing."
"We must learn to be grateful for setbacks, because they make us more mature."
"So, His Highness, the Third Highness, still needs to thank you?"
"I have said before that I am not to blame for what happened to him. He just became a punching bag for Marquis Jingnan to vent his anger on."
"But when he has nightmares at night these past few years, he will definitely dream about your face."
"Ha ha."
"Did he want to come out?"
"Are you going to embarrass the royal family by coming out? If the Marquis of Jingnan is still here for a day, there is no way he can come out of the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
But I need an explanation, and he also needs an explanation. We have explained each other, and Emperor Yan will also have an explanation.
Then, his life in Huxinting will be easier. "
"Just for this?"
"We can't feed a man, but we don't know a hungry man is hungry."
"Too."
"I want to sleep for a while. I didn't get a good rest last night. When I get back, the blind man and the others should be here too."
Uncle Zheng was just about to lean back,
The sword master suddenly spoke;
"There is sword energy."
Uncle Zheng suddenly changed from leaning on his back to crawling on the bottom of the carriage.
The sword master was a little surprised.
Road:
"You are really afraid of death."
Uncle Zheng turned to look at the Sword Master and said, "It's necessary."
The sword master said: "It's the old man next to that woman."
carriage,
stopped
Uncle Qi stood in front of the carriage,
He opened his mouth and said:
"The princess invites Uncle Hirano to come into the back garden to talk."
inside the carriage,
The sword master said: "She invites you to sit at her home."
Uncle Zheng chuckled twice,
Get up,
Go to the front,
Opened the car curtain,
He shouted to Uncle Qi standing in front:
"Let Li Qian come to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to meet me!"
