Even when they arrived at Nanjing, because Huo Yuyan had someone to take care of him along the way, the welcoming team still moved very slowly.

It was not until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year that the palace received a report from the scouts, saying that the team to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince and the lords of Beiliang was about to arrive at Nanjing.

Jiang Suizhou pondered for a moment after receiving the news, and said, "Understood, go and invite Master Qi into the palace."

The scout responded and retreated.

"You want Qi Min to come out of the palace to meet him?" Huo Wujiu asked.

Jiang Suizhou nodded: "He is the most suitable."

Huo Wujiu thought for a while, then hummed: "If he sees Qi Min, he will definitely think too much. Qi Min can be regarded as an old minister of Nanjing, I put so many generals aside, and use two of Nanjing's instead. The old minister greeted him—but Qi Min has a high official position, so after seeing Qi Min, he must have had a good time thinking about it."

Jiang Suizhou nodded: "That's what it means."

Huo Wujiu raised his eyebrows: "At that time, I will send someone to prepare a dinner, and I will personally welcome him. At that time, I will show a bit of disobedience, and I am afraid he will be even more impatient. It’s time to do it.”

Jiang Suizhou thought for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "It is indeed a good idea."

Seeing Huo Wujiu stood up, walked around behind him, put his arms around him: "Just stay in the palace and wait for news from me."

Hearing this, Jiang Suizhou raised his head and looked at him: "You won't let me go?"

Huo Wujiu frowned when he heard the words, and said without hesitation: "Of course you can't go, what if he follows you?"

Jiang Suizhou shook his head: "But, if I don't go, he will be suspicious of you."

Huo Wujiu's voice sank.

"Whatever he suspects," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, when to touch him is just my pleasure. How can I let you risk yourself? Don't mess around."

Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but argue: "Now in Nanjing, what danger is there?"

Huo Wujiu didn't listen to him: "That's not a risk. You just stay in the palace, even if he wants to know who you are, he doesn't have the ability to do so."

Jiang Suizhou looked up at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Huo Wujiu can't change the fact that he insists on complicating simple things in order to protect himself.

He took back his smile, looked serious, and looked at Huo Wujiu.

"What did I tell you before?" he said. "I don't need you to protect me behind me like this, to cause trouble."

Huo Wujiu's attitude didn't soften at all: "That won't work, it's different this time."

Jiang Suizhou asked, "What's different?"

Huo Wujiu said: "Huo Yuyan is very sinister, who knows what he will do."

"But since he stepped into Nanjing, he and his subordinates have all fallen under your surveillance, haven't they?" Jiang Suizhou said. "What's more, you and I also understand the current defense situation in Lin'an. What he wants to do is simply impossible."

Huo Wujiu was wronged and stopped talking.

Jiang Suizhou knew that if he didn't speak so much, he was acting like a fool even though he was wrong.

He reached out and took Huo Wujiu's hand.

"If I'm not wrong, he came with these ministers, and he will definitely try to drive a wedge between you." He said. "Those ministers, ranging from official positions to daily food and living, are all places where they can do things. You just know that these people are loyal to you, but you should also know that people's hearts are the most fickle thing. You are in the world all year round. You have never been to Yangguan or Yecheng a few times, are you sure you can grasp the thoughts of every courtier?"

Although Huo Wujiu put on a cold-faced, invulnerable look at this time, but Jiang Suizhou's hand was on the back of his hand, he still couldn't help turning his hand over, and took Jiang Suizhou's hand into his palm .

"...Really not," he admitted.

The delicate thoughts between the civil servants are indeed a headache for him when he touches them.

"So you need mine." Jiang Suizhou said. "I know them better than you do."

Huo Wujiu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Then Jiang Suizhou asked in a warm voice: "Let me go with you at night, okay?"

Huo Wujiu struggled for a while, and finally retorted: "...Then what capacity are you attending? Now that no one in the city knows my relationship with you, Huo Yuyan will definitely make things difficult for you."

Jiang Suizhou smiled in a low voice, pulled Huo Wujiu's hand up, and put it on the side of his face.

Huo Wujiu lowered his eyebrows, and saw Jiang Suizhou who was sitting on the dragon chair looking up at him, with a bit of a fox-like smile on his overly delicate face, which made the little red mole at the corner of his eye vivid. stand up.

"What's the problem?" Jiang Suizhou said. "As long as I'm the little boy who confuses your mind, seduces General Huo's mind, and obeys me in everything, then he will have to endure everything for your sake."

Huo Wujiu looked at him with low eyes, clearly knowing that he was pretending deliberately, but his Adam's apple still couldn't help rolling up and down.

... She really is a goblin who can take people's souls away.

He swallowed his throat, and after a while, his teeth were tightened. He bent down, pressed Jiang Suizhou on the dragon chair, and kissed him hard.

"You even took my life away."

During the kiss, Huo Wujiu gritted his teeth and said.

-

As the current Grand Situ of Nanjing, Qi Min went out of the palace to meet Huo Yuyan, which really showed Huo Wujiu's importance.

Everyone knew that Master Qi was going out of the city to meet Huo Yuyan today.Who is Master Qi?Counting the present, he is about to be a veteran of the four dynasties, even Pang Shao is still alive, he respects him a little bit, now at the age of 70, to be able to go out of the palace to meet Huo Yuyan, it is really the brotherhood of General Huo and His Royal Highness that is extremely cherished.

But in Huo Yuyan's eyes, this is not the case.

Hearing the news that Master Qi was already waiting outside the city, Huo Yuyan's face turned ugly.He responded calmly, put down the car curtain, and did not speak again after that.

Qi Min?No matter what his reputation is, in Huo Wujiu's eyes, it is nothing rare.

Huo Wujiu didn't like civil servants in the first place, especially Qi Min, who is full of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and who has betrayed his old master.If Huo Wujiu really valued him and had no quarrel with him, then why didn't any of his generals come to welcome him?

Any ten thousand households are more important than Qi Min in Huo Wujiu's eyes.

For a moment, Huo Yuyan couldn't guess what Huo Wujiu was thinking.

He asked Qi Min to go out of the city, did he have a rift with him because of Li Sheng, or did he already suspect it, so he used Qi Min as a perfunctory excuse?In other words, Huo Wujiu had no intention of doing this, but because of Qi Min's reputation, in order to let the world see how important he is to him and his loyalty to the Northern Liang court, so as to give himself momentum and face?

Qi Min was so special that Huo Yuyan lost his mind for a while.

He thought about it all the way with a calm face.His body is useless to begin with, and it's even more unsuitable to think about it so much.The carriage drove all the way, and when they arrived outside the city gate of Lin'an, Huo Yuyan was exhausted physically and mentally, and his whole body was exhausted.

Seeing the towering city gate approaching, he coughed a few times, resisted the discomfort all over his body, and put on a normal appearance, sitting upright in the carriage.

The carriage stopped, and the mountain call sounded outside.

"The ministers are ordered to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Then, some soldiers opened the curtain for Huo Yuyan.

The eunuch came forward and helped Huo Yuyan out of the car.As soon as he supported Huo Yuyan's arm, he felt the weakness of his body, and couldn't help but look at Huo Yuyan worriedly.

But he looked as usual, with a gentle smile on his face.

The eunuch quickly looked away.

Huo Yuyan stood still in front of the carriage, threw away the eunuch's hand, walked up to Qi Min, and helped the trembling veteran to his feet.

"Master Qi is waiting here." Huo Yuyan said with a gentle expression.

However, Qi Min's expression was cold and he didn't see any enthusiasm. He only looked like he was doing business. He took half a step back, bowed and said, "I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness. The general has already hosted a banquet in the palace, and His Highness is exhausted. We are just waiting for His Highness." Take the wind and wash away the dust."

Huo Yuyan looked normal, but his gaze stopped on Qi Min's face.

His appearance... Is it because he is a veteran of Nanjing, or because he got Huo Wujiu's instruction?

Huo Yuyan was even more uncertain about Huo Wujiu's attitude.

He staggered, and was quickly supported by the little eunuch who hurried forward.He smiled lightly, and when he turned his head, he gestured with his eyes to the captain of the imperial guards who was following behind, then turned his head and said with a warm smile: "I'm really tired. Then work hard, Mr. Qi, and lead the way. "

Qi Min responded with a cold face, turned around and left.

Lou Yue next to him saw all this in his eyes.

He knew that what Qi Min did was definitely Jiang Suizhou's arrangement.Now Huo Yuyan came to Nanjing in person because he couldn't figure out Huo Wujiu's attitude, so he wanted to come and see for himself.Jiang Suizhou guessed it, so he let the people around him use some tricks, just to make Huo Yuyan undecided, and thus become more uneasy.

People make the most irrational choices only when they are caught in a puzzle and hesitate.

Thinking of this, Lou Yue went forward and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, don't take it to heart. That old man Qi Min has a bad temper that no one likes to talk to, His Highness, please don't bother with him."

Huo Yuyan wanted to guess Huo Wujiu's thoughts through the people below, but he was also a very careful and thoughtful person.People like him are most likely to be confused by some trivial details when they speculate on others.

Then, they will go their separate ways and make Huo Yuyan lose his mind.

Sure enough, when Huo Yuyan heard this, he smiled and said softly, "What's the matter? Mr. Qi is highly respected, and some tempers are justified. I appreciate his true temperament."

When Lou Yue heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness is benevolent, the general is relieved! Your Highness, please get in the carriage."

Huo Yuyan responded with a smile, turned around and got into the carriage.

His current smile was already forced out, but when he arrived in the palace, the smile on that face could no longer be sustained.

In the resplendent banquet hall, all the civil and military officials were already seated, and they were all waiting for him.

The top spot was vacant, presumably reserved for him.

However, the person sitting next to him is not Huo Wujiu.

It was a man in Nanjing King Qin's mianfu. He was extremely young, and he was also extremely beautiful, even so exquisite that he was almost monstrous.

Under the light, he smiled at him, that smile was calm and meaningful, like a victor, demonstrating to him.

The author has something to say: Huo Yuyan: ... seems to smell the same kind of breath.

Jiang Suizhou: ;D Are you also a white lotus?Hello, your younger brother has been fascinated by me as King Zhou You, why are you here?

Huo Yuyan: ...Damn it for being late.
