Jianghu Guest Qinglu

The emperor is old, and the power is vacant. The prince Yeluxing is the son of the Liao emperor and the Yuan empress. Immortal, lives in the palace every day to make alchemy and seek medicine, does not listen to political affairs, and all government affairs are handed over to the prince. The prince has a tyrannical personality and eyes above the top. Disrespect old officials and despise newcomers. If he becomes emperor, he must be a tyrant. Therefore, the courtiers look down on him. Even some old officials gave up supporting him because of his arrogance. Second prince Yeluguang, since he was born He has a delicate body, drinks medicine all the year round, never attends any banquets, and is an invisible person. The third prince, Yeluming, treats people kindly, keeps a low profile, works efficiently, and has high morals. He has a good relationship with most courtiers. Therefore, ministers Apart from neutrality, most of them support the third prince's ascension to the throne. Among the three sons, the victory and defeat have already been divided, and the only thing left is for the Liao emperor to return to the west. Turmoil, constant internal troubles, no time to look outside, nothing to be afraid of... Then there is Dajin, this time the four princes of Dajin came to Song Dynasty to make peace on the surface, but in fact to inquire about the news. , Xixia and Great Song have a good relationship, and now they are willing to form an alliance with Great Jin. For fear, Dajin played a good idea. He wanted Daliao and Xixia to fight against Song Dynasty, so that he could reap the benefits of being a fisherman. He wanted beauty. Xixia Daliao was not a fool. Enemy against the Song Dynasty... However, the troublesome thing is that the Dajin actually reached a consensus with the Southwest, and wanted to attack from the north and the south. Therefore, the focus of frontier defense lies in the southwest. As long as the generals in the northwest cannot hold on, no matter how loud others shout... When necessary, it is best to disintegrate from the inside without spending a single soldier, and let the Three Kingdoms Civil strife, the situation in the Northwest will be resolved... The Northwest soldiers will collapse, and the Southwest will collapse without attack."

This is the first time that Lan Qingke has spoken such a long word, and everyone is surprised. Don't look at Lan Qingke's gentle surface, but in fact he is very cold in his heart. People who are familiar with you can have something to say to you, but they don't know how to talk to each other. , I don’t say much, people who don’t know me, I don’t even pay attention to them, I seem to respect you like a guest, but in fact I reject people thousands of miles away.

Today, it is very rare to hear Lan Qingke say such a long speech. Today's words are the longest words Lan Qingke has said in his life, and they are also the most emotional words.

Ke Xuan didn't know Lan Qingke well, but he couldn't tell what he felt. They were not compatible with each other in the first place, and they didn't communicate well, nor would they have a deep friendship.

Lan Qingke knew Kexuan very well, just because in his previous life, he was the one Fang Huai decided to spend his whole life with.

In the previous life, the two met only a handful of times, all because of Fang Huai. Huai chose Kexuan, and Lan Qingke had no complaints. Instead, he congratulated the two of them and helped them after they were dismissed.

In this life, Fang Huai and Ke Xuan don't call, and Lan Qingke doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't intend to have a romantic relationship in this life, he just wants to live a chic life.

Ke Xuan asked, "I don't know how Southwest will deploy?"

The emperor said, "The Marquis of Nanchang and Shang Shuling were sent to the southwest to sit in the town. Although the Lord Shang Shuling is a civil servant and does not know martial arts, he has the talent of a counselor. There is quite a tacit understanding, and they are quite good at marching and fighting, and Southwest will be handed over to them, I can rest assured!"

The next day, Ke Xuan secretly left the city, and only a few people knew about it.

At the same time, the number of people in the Jianghu in the capital increased for no reason.

Moshang Mulberry (4)

"There have been many changes in the capital recently." Mr. Hua Yi shook his folding fan lightly, looking at the busy traffic downstairs.

On the opposite side, Lan Qing drank tea and remained silent.

Guo Si replied behind him, "Recently, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes have poured into the capital, but I don't know why... However, listening to the sister in the building, it seems that the rivers and lakes have been in trouble recently, and the families of the rivers and lakes in different places were all slaughtered at the same time , no one survived, and those who were exterminated were all relatives of the various sects. They did not seem to seek revenge, but provocations. All the sects sent people to the capital to meet, in an attempt to find a hidden opponent..."

Lan Qing guest said, "The court has just stabilized, but the rivers and lakes are in conflict again. The two are inseparable and inseparable. Guo Si, I leave this matter to you. You must find out what happened and track down the killer..."

Guo Sihan nodded, "Yes!"

Lan Qingke looked at Duan Mo, "How did you gain from your several overseas trips?"

Duan Mo smiled and said, "The harvest is quite rich. Overseas countries have their own characteristics. Trading with them, you can make money without losing money. Moreover, the people of the country are hospitable and kind to others... The Maritime Silk Road can bring many foreigners to the Song Dynasty. Species, colorful..."

Lan Qingke said with a smile, "It can be seen from this that it was a correct decision to entrust the business to you in the early years!"

The sky is slightly bright, and the luxurious carriage walks slowly on the pipeline, smoothly and steadily. The groom wears a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, and the horses drive slowly. The drizzle is continuous and the wind is rustling. Inside the carriage, there are red stalls. There is an incense burner burning on the willow desk, and the smoke is misty. Beside the incense burner are plates of exquisite pastries, and next to it is a delicate and gorgeous purple sand pot tea set. Tea is burning on the stove beside the desk. The curtain is blown by the breeze. Swaying back and forth, the young man in blue was lying on his side on the soft wool couch and reading a book, the maid in purple was holding a glass lamp to illuminate him, and the maid in yellow knelt beside him to add firewood to the stove.

The sound of books being turned inside the carriage, the drizzle outside was beating on the car, tick-tock, the stove coals creaked and crackled, the white blanket squirmed a few times, and it lay on the lap of the young man in blue. Still confused, he sat up slowly, looked around, saw the unfamiliar environment, and finally became sober.

Lan Qingke collected the books and put them on the desk, and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"

Recently, she always eats and sleeps, Fang Huai blushed slightly, "Yeah!"

The maidservant in yellow poured tea for the two of them, and her actions were smooth and flowing.

Fang Huai took the teacup, sat up, took a sip, and asked, "Where are you now?"

The maidservant in purple replied, "I have arrived in Xingyang!"

Fang Huai looked at Lan Qingke, asked for advice, and asked, "The schedule is a bit slow, how about speeding up the schedule?"

However, Lan Qingke disagreed, "If someone is Lan, you will naturally hurry up, but you are not in good health, how can you go on your way? If you are tired and the root cause of the disease, you will suffer. You don't have to be so anxious, I have sent someone to go ahead Go find the way, if they can't even do this well, they don't have to follow Lan!"

Hearing Lan Qingke's words, Fang Huai nodded, it was true, "I'm the one who dragged it down!"

Lan Qingke scolded, "What do you call this? Your status is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and you can't be half-sloppy. For the sake of the people of the Song Dynasty, even if Lan dies himself, he can't hurt you..."

Fang Huai wanted to say something more, but Lan Qingke took out a chessboard from under the desk, "Anyway, you and I have nothing to do, so why not play a game? I heard that Fang Xiang is superb at chess, and Lan has never seen it before. I don't know if Fang Xiang can allow Lan Someone to teach me..."

Fang Huai held his head, "So, how can Fang refuse!"

The two hold the chess pieces, Lanqing Ke Heizi goes first, Fang Huai Baizi follows closely.

A day is spent unknowingly playing chess between two people.

In the evening, the carriage happened to be driving into the town.

The town was peaceful, it was getting late, the street vendors closed their stalls and went home, and the curfew was about to come. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the carriage stopped in front of the only inn in the town. Guest officer, please, the younger one will lead the horse to the stable first."

The two maids got off the carriage one after another, the maid in purple stood by holding the lamp, the maid in yellow lifted the curtain, Lan Qingke came out first, then turned around and stretched out her hand to pull Fang Huai, Fang Huai clasped the side of the carriage, looked at Lan Qing The guest's hand, after a pause, was still in his hand. With the help of Lan Qingke, he got out of the carriage and stepped on the ground. Fang Huai withdrew his hand and looked up at the inn's plaque. Yuelai Inn", and from the outside, the only inn in this town is not ordinary dilapidated, the windows are full of holes, most of the red paint on the door has fallen off, the sawdust inside is exposed, and there are many holes on the walls. Cracks, walked in, the floor of the lobby was covered with moss, the table surface was shiny, and some of the benches were missing arms and legs. Looking around, the innkeeper had multiple jobs, and he was also an account manager and a waiter. The counter was dilapidated Unbearable, some parts of the stairs upstairs have been bitten by moths, and big holes are exposed. There is only a door between the lobby and the back kitchen, and you can go to the back by opening the curtain. The upstairs is naturally a place to stay, and I don’t know this How about a place to live in an inn in a small place.

Because the only waiter went to tie the horse, the shopkeeper could only greet him first, and came out from behind the counter, "How many guest officials are staying in the shop?"

The purple-clothed maid had a bad complexion because she disliked this place, and her tone was a little offended, "It's getting dark, so naturally stay in the hotel, otherwise you can still go on your way!"

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, everyone, follow me upstairs, because our inn is the only inn in the town, and there are few people in the town, and there are not many guests coming and going, so there is enough room, one for each of you..."

As the shopkeeper went up to the second floor, the shopkeeper opened five rooms for them. Naturally, there is no distinction between small inns, they are all the same dilapidated rooms.
