When Wang Ye picked up the future brain master

Guan Hao took the wooden sign for customs clearance handed over by the guards and soldiers, and Ye Qianqiu was also carried off the carriage by Mu Yao and put on a wheelchair.

We will be entering the city soon. According to the regulations of Beidu, after entering the city, no one except the patrol team is allowed to ride horses in the street, so the carriage has to take another road to enter the city.

Ye Qianqiu felt bored in the carriage, so he asked to get off.

Guan Hao gave a few instructions to the coachman, telling them to go back to the prime minister's mansion first, and Ye Qianqiu and the others also need to find a place to stay first. Go report to the emperor.

Everyone parted temporarily at the gate of the city, and Guan Hao left two guards to follow them in case anything happened.

Ever since Ye Qianqiu entered the city, his eyes have not stopped, and even Mu Ai became excited.

Mu Yao bought a small snack and shared it between the two of them. Ye Qianqiu carefully held the light pink dumpling in his hand, and asked Mu Yao in surprise, "What is this?"

"Sophora japonica dumpling, the boss said that red beans are added in it." Mu Yao pushed him to the next stall.

Beidu is worthy of being the capital of the north, and everything is different from other places.

There are almost no homeless people on the street. No matter how shabby their clothes are, they still have their own work to do.

This is due to a regulation issued by the emperor just last month, and everyone has something to rely on, based on this.

That is to say, everyone here must have their own job, as long as they are willing to pay their own labor, they must have a job.

"Brother! What is this?" Mu Ai pointed to a small stall displaying exquisite pastries, but these pastries were all red.

Mu Yao leaned over to take a look: "Honey Tuan."

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable!" The owner of the stall is a woman of the age of a young woman, wearing a dark red brocade skirt and a short lining of the same color. "This is made by my daughter-in-law. It is said to be a flavor from Hudi. Pastry, what's in it? I think this little boy in a wheelchair is so handsome, why don't you guess it?" She blinked at Ye Qianqiu.

"In it, there is Xuehong, which also comes from Hudi. Because Hudi is covered by snow and snow all year round, only this kind of fruit can grow so pleasingly in the freezing environment, so King Hu named it Xuehong. , implying white snow and red species, hidden auspiciousness." Ye Qianqiu said with a smile, "Dare to ask the boss, is my guess right?"

The proprietress looked at Ye Qianqiu in surprise: "Ah! The young master is very knowledgeable! Dare I ask, has the young master met my daughter-in-law?"

Mu Yao paused for a moment, then squeezed Ye Qianqiu's shoulder indiscriminately.

Ye Qianqiu still had a smile on his face, and at an angle that others could not see, he turned back and pinched Mu Yao's strong thigh fiercely.

Mu Yao's face twisted.

Why so hard?

"Maybe I have seen it, please pack some for me."

"Okay, looking at the young master's face, these are my gifts for you!" The proprietress readily packed several more for him.

Mu Yao thought depressedly, why is his face so useful everywhere?

Ye Qianqiu smiled gently: "Thank you." He reached out and patted Mu Yao's hand, and you paid.

Mu Yao glanced at him angrily, and paid the money reluctantly.

"Young master, come again next time!"

Mu Yao said sullenly: "I feel that you have a lot of things to hide from me." Mu Yao had always thought that he was just a run-down son living in seclusion outside the city, but he didn't expect to know so much.

But yes, Ye Qianqiu's tone of voice and demeanor around him are different from him, but it is somewhat close to Guan Hao, and sometimes even surpasses Guan Hao.

This realization made him even more depressed.

Ye Qianqiu gave a pastry to Mu Ai next to him: "When the time is right, I will tell you everything you want to know, and I will never hold back anything."

Mu Yao choked for a moment. He was just saying so much to Ye Qianqiu and the proprietress that he was uncomfortable, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. Even if he wanted to ask something, Mu Ai was still by his side. He was an older brother. Yes, you can't discuss this with your sweetheart in front of your sister, can you?

"Ah—" Ye Qianqiu tilted his head back, and held a pastry under his chin.

Mu Yao bit down expressionlessly.

Behind the three of them, a sneaky figure followed them for a while, turned a corner silently, and disappeared around a corner.

"Your Majesty, Guan Hao, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is here." Wang Dehai said outside the Panlong Hall.

Ye Hong let go of Cen Ji's hand, squeezed it again, and Cen Ji patted him: "Guan Hao is here."

Ye Hong couldn't help but pull him to sit on his lap: "Let him in!"

In front of the white jade steps outside the hall, Guan Hao nodded to Wang Dehai, pushed the door open and went in without raising his head, raised the hem of his clothes and knelt on one knee: "I see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Okay, it's just you and me here, what are you still playing around with? Didn't I tell you earlier that I would spare you?" Ye Hong said impatiently.

Guan Hao simply stood up and patted his clothes: "Hey, I forgot." He has been friends with Ye Hong since he was a child. When he ascended the throne, the Prime Minister's Mansion helped him a lot. It's almost like a good brother.

He entered the palace before changing clothes, and at this moment he only saluted Cen Ji: "Guard Cen."

Cen Ji got up from Ye Hong's lap when he came in, and stood beside Ye Hong at this moment, only glanced at him expressionlessly.

Guan Hao was obviously used to this situation for a long time, he found a chair and sat down: "I have brought you back the batch of medicinal materials you asked for, and according to what you said, they are not damaged at all." Poured a glass of water, "Sure enough, Qingtaki from the emperor's place is delicious."

Ye Hong propped his elbow on the table with one hand, pointed his index finger on his leg with the other hand, and squinted his eyes: "Guan Aiqing looks very healthy, she doesn't look like she just came back from Monan man!"

When Cen Ji heard the word Monan, his body froze.

Guan Hao pretended to shake his head: "I went out this trip and found myself a good brother, a good friend, and a sweetheart."

Ye Hong has no interest in this: "Well, what about the situation in Monan?"

Guan Hao paused, his expression a bit gloomy: "Qi Feng is gone."

Ye Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Didn't I just send him to the border?" Qi Feng has always been a rare general in the court who always wins. He is young, but he has good martial arts skills and a good mind to lead troops to fight. Before Guan Hao set off, he was sent by Ye Hong to guard Yangliu City on the border of Monan. How long has it been since he disappeared?

"Your Majesty," Guan Hao suddenly said seriously, "Yangliu City was slaughtered, do you know about this?"

Ye Hong stood up abruptly: "What?!"

Guan Hao lowered his head: "About a month and a half ago, I set off from Yangliu City to return to Beijing. Before I walked far, a group of people from Yangliu City escaped from me. Some people saw General Qi being killed by the bandits. I I also sent someone back to check it out," Guan Hao lowered his voice, "Yangliu City is empty."

There was a faint anger on Ye Hong's face. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only slap the table hard: "You bastard!" !No wonder no one has reported the news of the Monan people, so they are here waiting for him!

This person, in order to achieve his goal, is really useless!

Cen Ji tapped Ye Hong's shoulder with the hilt of the Jade Dragon Sword, Ye Hong was stunned, and turned to look at him.

"Your Majesty, movement is stillness, and stillness is not inaction. It is wise to use stillness as movement." Cen Ji said word by word.

Ye Hong took a deep breath, and after calming down, he glanced at the hilt of the sword still on his shoulder, and blinked at Cen Ji, with turbulent emotions in his eyes.

The corners of Cen Ji's eyebrows twitched, he retracted the hilt of his sword calmly, and stood upright again.

The three people in the hall were silent for a while, Guan Hao had already drank two cups of tea, he was a little dazed at this moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Eunuch Wang, someone from the prime minister's mansion came to see him and said he was looking for his son." A young eunuch came to report from outside the palace.

Guan Hao stood up and knelt on the ground respectfully again.

Wang Dehai knocked on the door: "Your Majesty."

Ye Hong collected himself and sat down: "Speak."

"Li Mingxuan and Li Shiwei who are next to the son of the prime minister's mansion came to look for the son, look at this—"

Guan Hao stood up suddenly, Li Mingyu was sent by him to protect Mu Ai and the others, why did he suddenly enter the palace?

Ye Hong glanced at Guan Hao, and said, "Come in!" He reached out and touched Cen Ji's thigh, but was pinched by Cen Ji, he touched it again calmly, and then withdrew his hand.

Li Mingyu came in with his head bowed respectfully and knelt down on the ground: "The lowly position bows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Be flat."

Guan Hao stepped forward and pulled him up nervously: "What happened?"

Li Mingyu said: "The lowly position is terrified, I beg my son to punish me!"

"Say." Guan Hao calmed down, and regardless of Ye Hong's presence, he just grabbed Li Mingyu's collar.

"Beizhi originally followed Ms. Mu, but I never thought that a group of people would suddenly rush out and take all three of Ms. Mu into captivity. You and Wang Li were outnumbered and couldn't stop them. You have made a mistake. Please punish me!"

Guan Hao's eyes were slightly red, and he let go of him. Li Mingyu quickly knelt down and kowtowed on the ground.

It's been a while since Ye Hong saw Guan Hao's appearance. The last time he saw him, it was because he was fighting with Guan Hao and used tricks to make him angry, so he showed this expression to him.

Ye Hong interjected, "Do you know those people?"

"If you go back to the emperor, that group of people should look at their clothes as thugs from the Northern Capital Protectorate."

Ye Hong and Guan Hao's eyes widened.

"The Governor's Mansion?"

"Wang Fu?"

The two spoke at the same time, and Ye Hong and Guan Hao looked at each other: "The one who was taken away was the friend you mentioned?"

Guan Hao clasped his fists together: "Exactly, please let the emperor go back to deal with this matter first!"

Ye Hong clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and Cen Ji frowned.

The Protector of the Northern Capital is equivalent to the governor of the state in the capital city. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone who dares to kidnap someone in broad daylight is simply courting death!

Ye Hong looked at Guan Hao who was anxious and angry, and said nothing.

Good day, little angels!
