humble minister

Lian Ying and Shi Yu returned to the capital secretly, and Lian Ying did not intend to tell his family about his assistance to the border king. On the one hand, he had some scruples; on the other hand, he was really afraid that his parents and sister might appear. His disappointed face, so he will not tell any relatives and friends about this matter before everything is settled, whether it is family members, or Shi Xiangjiang Bailang and others.

So in the end, the two decided to live back in the border guard palace secretly. Except for the old housekeeper and a small number of servants in the palace, no one knew about their master's return. The long-awaited King of Border Guards is now on his way back to the capital with his elite troops, instead of already being in the capital at this moment.

On the second day after talking with Shi Kuang, Lian Ying received a "gift" from the trustworthy King Mu An—it was the secret decree that could determine the fate of the Duanmu family.

After obtaining the secret decree, Lian Ying simply destroyed it, and Shi Yu kept his promise and didn't ask about it.Because Lian Ying didn't see Shi Yu again early the next morning, and later through Shi Yu's words to the old housekeeper, he vaguely figured out the fact that he had contacted and rectified the forces in Beijing.

"My lord left a message to tell you to wait in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about your safety." The old butler explained everything respectfully and then went to do his own work. It was not because he didn't respect the young man who came back secretly with the lord. But as the old housekeeper of the palace, it is instinctive to observe words and demeanor, so he can observe that this son is not a person who likes to be disturbed by others, not to mention that it is strange that the prince returned secretly, so it is inconvenient for him, a servant, to ask more questions.

After hearing this, Lian Ying nodded slightly to express his understanding, and was very satisfied with the old housekeeper in his heart.

Naturally, he has no objection to Shi Yu asking him to stay in the mansion to wait quietly. After all, he can't help at the moment, and it's inconvenient to expose it to others. It's relatively safe to stay in the palace.

Well, taking advantage of today's leisure, why not visit this palace.

After thinking about it, Lian Ying was just about to call a servant to lead the way around the palace, when he saw the old butler go and come back, holding a bright red greeting card in his hand.

The old housekeeper walked up to Lian Ying with small steps, and before he could wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead, he handed over the greeting card, saying: "My lord, this is a greeting card just sent by a great man, saying it was for you. .”

Lian Ying received the call letter and was puzzled, what kind of important person could know where he is now and even come to visit him?But these old butlers wouldn't know, so Lian Ying went after asking the address of the distinguished guest.

On the way, Lian Ying opened the greeting card, and when she saw clearly the three characters "Jian Luoyi" inscribed on it, she felt an urge to caress her forehead.For Jian Luoyi, apart from the first meeting at the banquet, the most understanding comes from the past events that Yao Li told him.

It can be said that Lian Ying and Jian Luoyi are two clearly irrelevant characters, so at this time Lian Ying is really confused why Jian Luoyi came to "visit" him, and why Jian Luoyi is so clear about his whereabouts, ha ha Well, thinking about this person's perfection and current power, he no longer has doubts or curiosity at all.

Because he was a big shot, the old housekeeper arranged the meeting place in the special room for receiving distinguished guests in the palace.When Lian Ying arrived, he had to admit that this was indeed a "luxury place" to receive distinguished guests, but it was a pity that the distinguished guest who was received was not what he thought, but these were trivial matters, so there was no need to elaborate.

"I don't know what kind of wind brought Jian Xiang from the Southern Dynasty here, but the people who visited him were just mere people, which really made Bucai panic." Lian Ying said panic, but there was a smile on his face, and he didn't see the so-called one at all. Frightened and nervous.

Jian Luoyi, who was standing with his hands behind his back and looking at the famous paintings on the wall with his back to Lian Ying, turned around with a smile on his face. The heavenly face still stunned Lian Ying for a long time, but Lian Ying suddenly found that the face of the famous Prime Minister Jian The smile he was wearing was a bit forced and haggard, but when he took a closer look, it disappeared, which made Lian Ying think that he had lost his mind and misread it.

But when Jian Luoyi opened his mouth, and the somewhat hoarse and deep voice sounded, Lian Ying was a little bit puzzled, could it be that Jian Xiang really encountered some trouble?As the saying goes, "No matter what happens, go to the Temple of Three Treasures".

"Mr. Tingyun, why should you be modest, you and I will be on equal footing soon, so Luoyi is here to congratulate Lianying first."

Jian Luoyi's words caused Lian Ying's expression to change slightly. It seems that the youngest prime minister in the southern dynasty was really extraordinary. I really don't know how powerful Jian Luoyi is. The fact that Shi Yu wanted to secretly force the palace to become emperor can be found out.

"Ms. Jian was joking. How could Lian Ying He De be able to sit in the position of prime minister? I'm afraid that Mr. Jian made fun of Lian Ying." Lian Ying smiled calmly, neither humble nor overbearing, which made Jian Luoyi's eyes a little more appreciative.

"Lian Ying, don't be on guard against me. To be honest, I hit you off right away with Lian Ying at the wedding banquet of Emperor Xuan Jing that day. Now that we meet again by fate, why not be friends?" Jian Luoyi took a step forward. Standing at a place not far away, and looking at him with smiling eyes, it gave people a very pampering feeling.

But Lian Ying just shook his head for a little bit, and quickly reacted, but he was a little annoyed in his heart: Hey, such a stunning person's smile is simply irresistible, I really want to get all the best things in the world offer.

Beauty is beauty, and the principle and bottom line cannot be lost in business matters.Although Jian Luoyi's words were a little teasing, he could still feel the sincerity in it, and for some reason, he felt that the words "love friends at first sight" said by this person had some meaning, because he seemed to have the same feeling. feelings.

However, is it true that Jian Luoyi wants to make friends with him only because of "hit it off"?Then why does Jian Xiang, who always pays attention to appearance and appearance, have a faint layer of black under his eyes at this time?I'm afraid I have encountered some troubles that I can't solve.

"If Xiang Jian has something to say, you can speak it directly. Lian Ying is naturally very happy to be Jian Xiang's friend." Lian Ying led Jian Luoyi to the table, and the two sat down together.

"In that case, then I have to speak directly, even in the future, you can call me 'Luoyi' as much as you want." Jian Luoyi smiled brightly, and the hidden worries between her eyebrows also dissipated a lot.

In all honesty, although he did come to visit this "Mr. Tingyun" to discuss something important, but the "good old friends at first sight" is indeed true, as if this person is very appetizing to him in the dark , There is a feeling of confidantes who hate to meet each other later.So during this visit, he, who has always been wild and unruly, was very polite.

"I think Lianying should know that I already know what the border guard wants to do, so I came to visit this time, one is to make friends, and the other is to make a deal with you." Jian Luoyi smiled wantonly, let It is difficult for people not to have a sense of intimacy, and in the intimacy, there is a sense of not daring to climb high.

"Oh? Is Jian Xiang threatening? But Lian Ying really doesn't know what he has that can be used as a bargaining chip with Jian Xiang. I hope that Jian Xiang will not hesitate to enlighten me." Lian Ying's face was still full of smiles, and his tone remained the same He was very polite, but he sighed in his heart: Sure enough, if Jian Luoyi found out about this, he would definitely be used. I just hope that his request will not be so excessive.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that Jian Luoyi, as the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, has no control over the affairs of the Northern Dynasty. Even if he reveals Shi Yu's plot to rebel, as long as Shi Yu insists that nothing happened, it is just a matter of the Southern Dynasty. Even if Emperor Xuan Jing had misgivings, but according to Emperor Xuan Jing's honest nature, this matter would be resolved sooner or later, so I should not worry about it.

What Lian Ying was really worried about was that during the short period of instability after Shi Yu ascended the throne, Prime Minister Yi Jian's power would take advantage of the chaos to attack or bring down the Northern Dynasty, which would always be a threat.It is estimated that Jian Luoyi also expected this, so he made a deal with him, but he didn't know what he wanted.

Seeing that Lian Ying was in deep thought just now, Jian Luoyi knew that he had already guessed his own thoughts, and couldn't help but smile, well, he likes dealing with smart people: "Actually, Lian Ying can fulfill my request."

Seeing Jian Luoyi smiling so confidently, Lian Ying felt curious. This is really strange. How come there are always people wanting to make deals with him, but the bargaining chip he proposed is still his own heart, and the bargaining chip he needs to pay is also What he has is really weird.

"All I want is that Lian Ying can call my junior brother as soon as possible, but not in my name." Jian Luoyi touched her lips lightly, and spit out this sentence that surprised Lian Ying.

"Couldn't Jian Xiang himself be able to communicate with Yao Li?" Lian Ying's surprise was not unreasonable. It stands to reason that the two are brothers and sisters, so they are naturally close. Why did Jian Luoyi find Yao Li through himself? ?Since he knows about himself and Yao Li, it is unreasonable for him to be unclear about some more specific things, such as what happened in Misty Ridge and Yao Li's whereabouts at the moment, so does he still need to be an intermediary? ?

Hey, thinking about it this way, I really have to admit that Jian Luoyi's power is terrifyingly powerful. If it weren't for this person's lack of ambition to be emperor (anyway, Lian Ying thinks so), then the Southern Dynasty might have been his world long ago, even the Northern Dynasty I'm afraid it won't be comfortable either.

After hearing what Lian Ying said, Jian Luoyi's normally smiling face showed a bit of embarrassment and anger. If his cheap master hadn't ordered his beautiful senior sister and beautiful junior brother to die, would he have come here to beg for help? ?However, Master did this for his own good, and it was not because of this that he hated it, nor did he love it.

"In short, as long as Lian Ying agrees to accomplish this, then besides not obstructing the enthronement of the border king, I also promise that within the next ten years, the northern and southern dynasties will never fight lightly, how about it?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lian Ying, who had no intention of really rejecting it, was even more surprised. I really didn't expect Jian Luoyi to make such a heavy promise. It seems that what he did to find Yao Li must be very important. It made him start to think: the most important event that will happen in the Southern Dynasty recently is the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. If there is no accident at that time, Jian Luoyi will change from Jian Xiang to the regent, but now it seems that the Southern Dynasty will definitely Something happened.

As a result, he was really curious, and couldn't help but ask one more question: "Lian Ying can agree to this matter, but Lian Ying still hopes that Prime Minister Jian can tell me something that can be said. Even if Prime Minister Jian and Yao Li is a senior brother, but Yao Li and I are also close friends, so I don't want to..."

Lian Ying didn't continue what he said, and it would be ugly if he continued, but he believed that Jian Luoyi could understand.

Sure enough, Jian Luoyi was not angry after listening to it, but thought for a while, and after weighing it up, said: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is of great importance, let me think about it before telling Lian Ying. As for Yao Li , don't worry, he is my junior brother, how can I harm him?"

When Jian Luoyi said this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she felt a bit evil, and the smile also carried a bit of inexplicable meaning, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she didn't ask any more questions.
