admiration

No one knows the relationship between the two, Dai Yan has a special status and his whereabouts are hard to guess, even General Wei Ling can't find out much, let alone Jiang Wan.Jiang Wan wanted to stay away, but she was also loyal to Zhu Qiming, so sometimes she couldn't avoid it.

It's no secret that Jiang Wan is Zhu Qiming's person in the court. Without Mo Yanchi, Zhu Qiming didn't hesitate at all, let Jiang Wan get into the carriage together, and drove away in full view of everyone.

Seeing this, all the officials shook their heads one after another. The court finally got a balance, and now they might lean towards Zhu Qiming again.Zhu Qiming was full of power and schemes, and he put on a dignified appearance. He was really not a good king to rule the people, but the situation favored him, so that his official career went smoothly and he occupied half of the sky.

Zhu Qiming was in a happy mood, and when he arrived at the mansion, he hurried in and asked the servant who was cleaning the cobblestone road: "Where is Mr. Yin?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Yin is in the study."

After Dai Yan entered the mansion, he asked for a room to use as a study, and stayed in it on weekdays, and no one was allowed to enter. Zhu Qiming was very annoyed at first, but now he is no longer surprised.He nodded and said: "Go and call him, the king has something to do."

"Yes." The servant said.

Jiang Wanhu questioned: "Your Highness, why is Mr. Yin so mysterious?"

Zhu Qiming shook his head and said: "This person is recommended by my mother and concubine, and I don't know his identity, so I just need to be able to help me."

He was too obsessed with the throne, Jiang Wan naturally knew, so she didn't mention Dai Yan again, and asked about other things.After saying a few words, Dai Yan appeared.

Dai Yan was the person that Concubine Jing gave to Zhu Qiming, and he was very airy. When he saw Zhu Qiming, he was always rude, and he nodded and sat down consciously.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhu Qiming's eyes, but he didn't speak out to criticize him. He asked about Mo Yichi's affairs, "Sir, Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi left the capital. There is nothing to be afraid of. What should we do next?"

"The centipede is dead but not stiff. Let the general Wei Ling in Beijing be dealt with first, and the court can be done slowly." Dai Yan said indifferently.He also has his own intelligence network in his hands, Xiao Zhijin's carriage just left the capital, and he knew about it.Regardless of Xiao Zhijin's purpose for leaving Beijing, General Wei Ling who stayed in Beijing is still his biggest threat, Dai Yan is inconvenient to come forward, so it is best to use Zhu Qiming to go.

Zhu Qiming nodded, noncommittal.Instead, Jiang Wan opened her mouth and said: "Your Highness, I think the most urgent thing is to stabilize the court. After all, because of the second prince, we have already lost a Ministry of Officials and a Ministry of Industry."

"Master Jiang is bad, without General Wei Ling, Mo Yanchi or Xiao Zhijin, nothing to be afraid of." Dai Yan stared at Jiang Wan, his eyes were like eagles, cold and frightening.

"Mr. Yin is right, it's just that we haven't dealt with General Wei Ling for a day or two, and we haven't found a place to meet them until now. I think it's better not to look far away." Jiang Wan said.

Zhu Qiming was in the light, General Wei Ling was in the dark, it was not easy to deal with General Wei Ling, Zhu Qiming frowned when he heard that.

Dai Yan's approach to Zhu Qiming was not to assist him and make him a wise king. His purpose was to disrupt the court, remove threats one by one, and regain his imperial power.He gave Jiang Wan a cold look, and said with a sneer, "Master Jiang doesn't let me deal with General Wei Ling. Could it be that he has some connection with General Wei Ling?"

"I'm just offering my opinion, and it's up to His Highness how to do it." Jiang Wan was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was not guilty at all.

Zhu Qiming glanced at Jiang Wan thoughtfully, but still didn't answer.It is not just once or twice that Dai Yan and Jiang Wan have disagreements, and he is not surprised, but forgot that Jiang Wan and Xiao Zhijin used to be classmates.

Jiang Wanruo felt a thump in her heart, but she didn't show it. She sat upright, holding the teacup with steady hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

The two people around them had different thoughts, and watched Jiang Wan's every move with deep eyes, wishing to see a hole in her and explore the secrets she tried so hard to hide in the depths.

If other people were scrutinized in this way, they would have panicked and lost their way, but Jiang Wan was unexpected, as if she was really innocent and not worthy of doubt.After all, Jiang Wan came out of the land of fireworks. If she has no skills, how can she become the oiran in a short period of time, and then disappear completely, turning herself into a scholar, and even a high school candidate.

Zhu Qiming was dubious about what she said, and now being exposed by Dai Yan deepened the thorn in his heart. Zhu Qiming pondered for a long time, and said: "If this is not the case, I will leave the affairs of the court to you. This king and Mr. Yin handles General Wei Ling."

Dai Yan frowned and was about to object when Jiang Wan stepped forward and said, "Yes, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."

Jiang Wan's swearing appearance made Zhu Qiming feel a lot more comfortable, and he nodded his head as a compliment.

Dai Yan glared at Jiang Wan who almost ruined his plan with a gloomy face. Fortunately, Zhu Qiming had the heart to deal with General Wei Ling, otherwise he would have to tear Jiang Wan's body to pieces.A little Tanhua dares to disobey him, His Highness the Crown Prince.

And Zhu Qiming, who was also dreaming of being a prince, turned his head and happened to see the murderous Dai Yan. He suddenly realized that Dai Yan's words were just sowing discord. Fortunately, he chose to believe in Jiang Wan, so he would not miss it. virtuous.

"Mr. Yin, I believe in the character of Guo Jiang Zhiwan, so I feel relieved to entrust the affairs of the court to him. Now there is only General Wei Ling left. According to what you think, what should we do?" Zhu Qiming said.

"Send someone to assassinate Xiao Zhijin, General Wei Ling will naturally appear, and then follow the clues to find out the location of the Lingling General Wei in Beijing. If he succeeds, he will kill two birds with one stone." Dai Yan said while observing Jiang Wan's every move.

Jiang Wan regained Zhu Qiming's trust, her brows were filled with joy, she never raised her head when she heard what Dai Yan said, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, but in fact she was already very worried.

Dai Yan was surprised by such a reaction. It stands to reason that Jiang Wan had already revealed her flaws when she heard about the assassination of Xiao Zhijuan, so how could she laugh.Jiang Wan's expression was calm, without the slightest abnormality, on the contrary, Dai Yan couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Jiang Wan really has nothing to do with Xiao Zhijin.

"It's really a good plan, but sir, this is not the first time we have assassinated Master Wei Ling, and we fail every time. This time..." Zhu Qiming hesitated.

Dai Yan glanced at him blankly and said, "I know what to do."

"That's good, we need to deal with the person quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Zhu Qiming heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wan put down the teacup she had finished drinking, stood up and cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, this matter has been going on for a while, so I will resign first, lest the people find out and criticize me again."

"Okay, then go back and rest first." Zhu Qiming didn't care much, and waved his hands to let people leave.

Dai Yan glanced at Jiang Wan seemingly, and had another plan in his mind.

Regardless of whether Jiang Wan is loyal to Zhu Qiming or not, it is an obstacle to Dai Yan, and it will not do any harm to her. If Jiang Wan really has contacts with Xiao Zhijin, this time can also find out.

Dai Yan was engrossed in his thoughts, Zhu Qiming called out several times, and then he came back to his senses, and said, "What did Your Highness just say?"

"It's okay. Mr. Yin is tired after thinking about it. Let's stop here today. Regarding General Wei Ling, you can tell me if you need it." Zhu Qiming said.

Dai Yan gave Zhu Qiming a complicated look, but didn't say much.Although his troops were not as good as General Wei Ling's, compared to Zhu Qiming's group of useless men, his troops were all elite, so there was no need to use Zhu Qiming's men.

The person who was still secretly happy sent Dai Yan away, feeling quite comfortable, and asked the servant to bring wine and drink to his heart's content.

……

There were no two people in the capital, and it was still full of dangers, but Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi were at ease, talking and drinking in a wine shop.

There were still a few days away from Wangxiang Terrace, Xiao Zhi had no intention of rushing, he stopped and stopped, and even couldn't move his feet when he arrived at a wine shop.It's not that they don't want to go back, it's just that the two of them haven't slept all night, and the carriage is bumpy, which is really tiring.

Mo Yichi was carried out of the carriage in a drowsy state. The noise outside the carriage made him wake up immediately. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in Xiao Zhijin's arms, his face suddenly turned red.

Xiao Zhi smiled calmly, put him down, asked the shopkeeper to prepare the food and drinks, and went in with Mo Yanchi.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Mo Yanchi's ears turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Zhijin.

Xiao Zhijin said innocently: "I called, but you were too deep in sleep to wake up, so I carried you out."

"You can put me in the car, I'll come down naturally when I wake up." Mo Yanchi retorted.

Xiao Zhijin took the wine from the shopkeeper, poured it and said, "I'm meddling in my own business, I just don't call you in the future."

Mo Yanchi was speechless, he didn't know what to say, so he simply closed his mouth and drank silently.

This is a wine shop built halfway up the mountain. It's not big, it only has two floors. The first floor sells wine, and the other floor has two or three small rooms for people passing by to rest.The shopkeeper is honest and honest, he looks big and rough, but his craftsmanship is very good, and the wine he brews is mellow and fragrant, especially intoxicating.

Mo Yanchi is not a drinker, so he couldn't stop drinking a few cups, until Xiao Zhi tried to dissuade him, and then he could barely stop.Mo Yanchi was dissatisfied, and complained: "Ye Min used to take care of me in the palace, but now that I'm out of Beijing, it's hard for me to be unrestrained, why are you coming to take care of me?"

The shopkeeper just brought the food, heard it and said with a smile: "Little brother, this wine has a strong aftertaste, your brother is right to advise you to drink less."

"He's not my brother!" Mo Yanchi retorted, the hand on his wrist inexplicably intensified.

Xiao Zhijin laughed and said, "Who is it if it's not your brother?"

Mo Yanchi smelled of alcohol already on his face, even when he burped, the smell of alcohol was strong, he stared at Xiao Zhijin and hesitated, "You are mine... mine..."

Xiao Zhijin didn't know why he was a little nervous, and he looked forward to Mo Yanchi's words.

Mo Yichi was not drunk enough to talk nonsense, especially after feeling the pain in his wrist, he stopped talking and dared not continue.

"Let's eat the vegetables, wait until it's cold." Mo Yanchi broke away from Xiao Zhijin's hand, took out a pair of chopsticks and wiped them, and then started to eat as if no one was there.

The shopkeeper who is looking forward to, Xiao Zhijin: ...

"Is this little brother drunk or not?" The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.

Xiao Zhijin shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't know either."

Mo Yichi pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't answer. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he found that he was so dizzy that even his chopsticks had turned into four. He looked up and tried to find Xiao Zhijin, and said, "Brother Jin, there is something wrong with me. .”

Xiao Zhijin: ...

Something was really wrong, even "Brother Jin" came out, it seemed that Mo Yanchi was really drunk.

The manager smiled and went to work again.

Xiao Zhi had no choice but to get up and walk to Mo Yanchi's side, sat down and pressed the person on his shoulder, saying: "You are sleepy, just close your eyes and sleep."

"En." Mo Yanchi nodded, stretched out his arms to wrap around Xiao Zhijin's waist, and nestled in his arms, the grease-stained chopsticks mercilessly landed on Xiao Zhijin's clothes.

Xiao Zhi wanted to cry without tears, and tried to pull the chopsticks out of Mo Yichi's hands, but the person who closed his eyes was muttering, extremely dissatisfied with his behavior.

"Brother, don't make trouble."

"..." Brother Jin didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so he could only pick him up and go upstairs in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper.
