Thinking

The next day, Risi woke up early to practice swords as usual. After tidying up, he sat in the house refreshed. The wind in late spring and early summer was the most comfortable. He looked at the tall ginkgo trees in the courtyard and remembered the plum blossoms in the old house.

He writes and draws on the paper with a pen, writes down the names of many people, circles and crosses them out, but he still knows too little.

The names of the last two people were left on the paper, Pei Nanxian and Duji Hubu.

Duji Hubu hated Rui Chu so deeply that even after Rui Chu died, he still chased after the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. may be involved.

As for Pei Nanxian, on the one hand, he has a suspicious relationship with Duji Hubu, and on the other hand, the Pei family is related to the death of Yu Ke's mother, which may be a starting point, but the Pei family as a whole has no real grounds, so it is not appropriate to provoke him rashly. .

After thinking about it, it was safer to start with Great Liang. Qi Si burned the paper, feeling that he was not quite used to this sudden and huge challenge, so he simply went to Jiang Xuan for breakfast, and put the matter aside for the time being.

Jiang Xuan lazily sat on the bench under the porch basking in the sun, saw Qi Si enter the yard, waved and said, "Why are you here?"

Qi Si smiled, leaned on the railing next to him and replied, "Come and have breakfast, will you give me a meal?"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand: "Little brother has spoken, he must have a good meal, let's go!"

Seeing that he was in a big fight, Qi Si smiled and said, "You don't need to be too grand, just the food from the Prime Minister's house will do."

Jiang Xuan didn't answer: "That won't work, see how hard you practice martial arts and study every day, brother will take you to eat well."

Qi Si was dragged by Jiang Xuan to Yudailou.

Standing in front of the gate of Yudailou, the plaque on the doorpost reads "The Jade Belt and Brocade Clothes Are Fancy, All the Flavors of the World Are Refined".

Qi Si couldn't help feeling deeply, when he first met Kong Yu and Li Xuanrong when he was wandering around in Changyu, he was acquainted with each other, and he never came back.

Jiang Xuan dragged him into the Yudai Building, and the waiter's hospitality remained the same as before: "Mr. Jiang, what floor is today? How many people?"

But Qi Si spoke first: "Let's just go to the first floor."

Jiang Xuan looked at him and wondered: "Hey, the little guy will rush to answer? No, the fourth floor! You can't make do when you come here."

The clerk smiled and said, "Young master Jiang is particular, so you can just listen to Young Master Jiang. If the view on the fourth floor is good, your appetite will also be good."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xuan dragged Qi Si up the stairs, Qi Si couldn't laugh or cry, he ran so far after eating breakfast, and still had to climb the stairs.

However, Jiang Xuan's emphasis is still reasonable. Yudai Building is located at the most prosperous and lively street in Changyu. Looking from the window on the fourth floor, you can have a panoramic view of the city, and the gentle breeze outside the window is really refreshing and pleasant.

"It's a pity that the restaurants are not very open during the Chinese New Year, otherwise we should bring Asigu and Yuan Feng here." Thinking of the few days they were in Changyu, Qi felt quite regretful.

"What's the difficulty, we will always meet again."

Jiang Xuan smiled, leaned lazily on the chair and looked out the window, "When I was your age, I wanted to take my friends with me wherever I went, but unfortunately at that time, most of my friends were wine and meat friends, but now I meet a friend You know how to feed me, tsk tsk..."

Looking at him, Qi Si remembered Li Xuanrong, and said with a smile, "I have a friend who looks exactly like what you said."

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? But he has made friends with you, so it can be seen that he still has some vision."

Qi Siqi asked: "Could it be that your friends back then were all the same?"

Jiang Xuan curled his lips: "It's not nice to meet people, most of them are the same... It's also weird, what did I think when I was with those greasy guys every day?"

Thinking of something again, he said to Qi Si: "Speaking of Yuan Feng and the others, the Yan Kingdom will send envoys to Great Liang every autumn. At that time, it is the Nayar Festival on the grassland, which is one of the most grand events outside the Great Wall. Do you want to go and see?"

After thinking for a while, Qi asked suspiciously, "Da Liang, can I go?"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand: "You and my uncle and His Majesty have always regarded you as your own, so it will be no problem for you to say hello." Then with a suave smile on his face, "Remember to take me with you when the time comes, take me with you!"

Qi Si couldn't help laughing: "You want to run away again, right? Mr. Jiang, this can't be done. It's agreed that you will choose the uncle and the wife."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "Hey, it's superficial, then Yaer Festival is really fun, horse racing, wrestling, market, the warriors outside the Great Wall have all kinds of skills, the beautiful girls of foreign races are very enthusiastic, and there are vendors in the Western Regions, it's simply fun. It's another world..."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's eloquence trying to convince himself, Qi Si thought that if he went to Daliang this time to find out Duji Hubu's old background, it would be a chance, and he might be able to find out what his father was in the past. Poison, I can't help but feel a little bit excited.

"I'll ask Mr. and His Majesty, but you know who I am. No matter how nice they are to me, it depends on the occasion. I really don't know if it will work."

Qisi has no idea, the biggest taboo of a country's hostages is running around, but if he asks to run around, he doesn't know if it will succeed or not.

Jiang Xuan, on the other hand, was full of confidence in him, as if his own freedom was close at hand again. He smiled happily, and was so happy to eat five drawers of Yucui fresh dumplings.

In the evening of the next day, Qi Si went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the academy, and went to stay in the Book Pavilion as usual. Jiang Xunyan happened to be back early, and chatted with him in the Book Pavilion.

Qisi turned his head and looked at Jiang Xunyan several times, but he didn't have the nerve to speak, but Jiang Xunyan put down his pen and looked at him, with a smile in his wise eyes: "Are your eyes blurred? Just say what you want, is Jiang Xuan teaching you what to do?" Something bad?"

With a guilty conscience, he silently said, Mr. You are right, and then smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just have a wish."

When Jiang Xunyan heard this, he became very interested. Qi Si never asked for anything. He was a contented and low-key child. Jiang Xunyan said: "It's strange, what does our little Highness wish for? Your Majesty can do it if I can't."

Qi Si smiled embarrassedly, and simply said directly: "Sir, I heard that Yan Guo will go to Daliang in the autumn, and there will be the Nayar Conference outside the Great Wall at that time, and my good friend is also in Daliang, so I thought ...Can you go with the mission?"

When Jiang Xunyan heard that this was the case, he thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult, but you must ask His Majesty. If nothing else, something happened to you last year. Duji Falcon died. We will be worried if we go..."

Qi Si is not afraid of this, he just wants to go into the wolf's lair to catch the wolf, and said with a smile: "I heard that Duji Fulbu was seriously injured that time, but my heart is healed, so I'm not afraid to meet him."

Jiang Xunyan knew that Qi Si had always been measured, so he nodded with a smile: "That's fine, then you will show off in front of your enemies to save them from complacency. After a while, come with me to the palace and ask His Majesty, and see what he has to say."

However, Qi Si felt that he was being self-willed, and said, "Sir, in my capacity, it is not appropriate to make this request."

Jiang Xunyan said, "Although you came to Changyu in the name of a proton, your majesty has always treated you kindly, and I have never regarded you as an outsider. These things should not be mentioned casually to other people, but to your majesty and me." There is no need for so many taboos."

Qi Si was flattered, and he asked, "Sir, why are you treating me so well?"

Jiang Xunyan smiled and said, "Because you are a good boy."

Qi Si couldn't laugh or cry, it was like coaxing a child, but he knew that Emperor Su and Jiang Xunyan treated him really differently, so he didn't ask the bottom line anymore. Rarely confused.

After a few days, Jiang Xunyan really entered the palace with Qi Si, and usually Si Si would often enter the palace to stay with Emperor Su for a few days, but this matter still needs to be discussed by them.

Emperor Su was sitting on the porch outside the book pavilion, dressed in single clothes, with a refined appearance, but the faint aura around him remained undiminished.

Seeing Qi Si and Jiang Xunyan, he waved his hands to show off, and the two came to his side.

"Both master and apprentice came together, it seems that there is a big event," Emperor Su said, shaking Qisi's arm.

Jiang Xunyan smiled: "You can't hide it from His Majesty's eyes."

Emperor Su looked at Qisi: "You have something to do, right? Which girl do you like?"

Qi Si hurriedly shook her head: "There is no girl, there is no girl."

Emperor Su clicked his tongue and said: "I'm so scared, I've been with your master for a long time, and I'm afraid that I'm going to get married?"

Qi Si smiled: "I just found out today, I was quite scared."

Emperor Su smiled and said, "I'm not teasing you anymore. I heard from Jiang Xunyan that you want to go to Daliang for a while. Why, do you want to go thousands of miles to seek revenge in person? I will send a few people to give you the head of Duji Hu. Wouldn't it be enough to bring it back?"

Qi Si waved his hand: "Don't seek revenge, don't want his broken head, just go to see the Yale Conference, meet friends, and take a good look at the customs and customs of Daliang."

I secretly said sorry to Yuan Feng, Asigu, and Nayar in my heart, and I was wronged for asking you to cover for Duji Falcon.

Emperor Su nodded: "That's good. Young people should travel thousands of miles, make friends and have fun. As for enemies, it's not too late to take revenge in ten years, so don't waste your good years on him."

Qi Si smiled: "That's right", and then realized that he was very pleasantly surprised, "Your Majesty has agreed?"

Emperor Su raised his chin and said very seriously: "Well, you haven't asked for it for a while, and it's not a big deal to wait for one, how can Gu refuse?"

Jiang Xunyan smiled and asked Qi Si: "Are you sure now?"

Qi Si was overwhelmed by flattery, and really felt the generosity of Emperor Su and Jiang Xunyan to him, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty and Mister are not afraid that I will become arrogant and unreasonable and greedy because of my favor?"

Emperor Su said: "This is better, be more arrogant, your father will not want you when the time comes, and I just stay."

Qi Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When the word got out, it was handed over again like snowflakes. Your Majesty can't stop until I come back."

But Jiang Xunyan said: "If this is the case, you have to explain it first. It must not be what I passed on. Don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Qisi and Sudi laughed when they heard this.

Emperor Su waved his hand and said: "It's okay to go far away, but Xiao Zhi has to lead people to follow, otherwise you still don't feel at ease. That Duji Falcon is acting arrogantly, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

When Qi Si heard Xiao Zhi's name, he froze for a moment, but nodded quickly: "Thank you for your concern."

After thinking about it again, he asked, "Will there be any objections from the court? Will there be any notes like snowflakes?"

Emperor Su smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about it. Even if Gu sneezes, some people will express their objections. Just let Gu see what kind of idiots they are, so that Gu can make a note secretly."

Qi Si and Jiang Xunyan laughed again when they heard the words.

Jiang Xunyan and Emperor Su made a simple agreement that they would go to Daliang with the mission, and inform the courtiers after the mission list was finalized, but they still traveled in a low-key manner to avoid complications.

The mission set off in August, and the name was decided in July. Xiao Zhi was escorted by the Xiao family's shadow guards, accompanied by Yu Ke, the prince of the Jin Dynasty, and three officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, all of whom were easy to get along with. .

Make the team comparable to previous specifications, really low-key.

Naturally, there were some people in the court who talked about things with expectations. Emperor Su just stared at a few people for a while without saying a word, then turned around and sent those people to the south to deal with the summer floods. Knowing the current affairs, they all shut up obediently.
