"Hmph, you have the guts." Wei Yueyan sneered, and then gulped down another mouthful of soup with a ferocious face, "What official position is this time?"

"The idle position of the third grade, the Minister of Taichang Temple." Zhan Jin replied.

"Minister of Taichang Temple." Wei Yueyan sneered, "Do you know how much her younger brother weighs this time? Does he have the guts to stuff him into the barracks again?"

Taichang Siqing is an official position with a long history, which can be traced back to the ancient Han Dynasty, also known as "Fengchang".Although it is an idle job, the official rank is really not low. I don’t know how it was in other dynasties, but in the Great Xia Dynasty, it was basically idle all day long. You only need to be a sub-official official during the sacrificial ceremony, and accompany the three princes when they patrol the garden. In the past, check to see if the utensils holding the offerings were clean, lest the gods be offended by dirt.With just a few glances, you will be able to fight bloody battles in the bitter cold for seven years outside the Great Wall. The official worship is the third grade, and you are on an equal footing with the six ministers and the twelve guard generals.

What is it if it is not idle work?

"That's right." Wei Yueyan sneered, "It was hard to change the skin and face, and lost half of my life just to change the skin. The remaining half of my life can't be tossed about on the battlefield anymore."

The current Tai Changqing is the younger brother of the current Empress Chang, named Chang Tingjian. In order to let her younger brother do something, the empress used her own power to arrange people into the military camp, so that she can be promoted casually.But he didn't want her younger brother to be cowardly and incompetent, and his luck was bad. It just happened that he caught up with the imperial court's imperial conscript and sent troops to southern Xinjiang.

The terrain in southern Xinjiang is complicated, the army dispersed, Wei Chengxu, the second master of Wei, followed Yujia, and Wei Yueyan's father, uncle and several older brothers were all in the team led by Chang Tingjian.Chang Tingjian refused to listen to advice, and was lured into the miasma forest in southern Xinjiang by the enemy army because he thought he was smart and had great achievements.The rest of the soldiers will find out the problem halfway, but the military order is like a mountain and they have to obey, and those who protest are cut by Chang Tingjian in front of the horse.

Later, the drama of running away from battle was staged for the first time in Daxia's army. It was too late for the soldiers to find out that the general was missing in the rising miasma. In an instant, the miasma spread like arrows and locusts. This team was wiped out except Wei Yueyan and Chang Tingjian who escaped secretly.

Three years after Wei Yueyan returned to Beijing, she has been secretly inquiring about Chang Tingjian's whereabouts, but to no avail.It's not that she didn't know that in order to protect her own younger brother, the queen would change her younger brother's identity, but it was only after a coincidence that she learned of a folk secret method that can change a person's skin and face that Wei Yueyan came to his senses The reason why Chang Tingjian's whereabouts have not been found is probably because not only his identity and background have changed, but his face, limbs, and even every hair follicle from head to toe have changed.

Zhan Jin knew that this matter was the most painful thorn in Wei Yueyan's heart, so he didn't echo or refute, but just stood aside silently with downcast eyes, waiting for Wei Yueyan's next order.

Wei Yueyan seemed to be in no mood at all, he threw the spoon in his hand back into the soup pot and put it aside heavily, the back molars were tightly clasped together, the whole room could hear the sound of needles falling quietly, only the young man could be heard The general panted heavily with resentment, as if he was standing alone in the snowy field of ninety-nine days of cold, with the sharp wind knife and snow sword beside his ear scraping bright red gashes on the bare/exposed skin, and the dark red blood splashed like falling plums. land.

After a long time, he finally said, "Zhan Jin, who's idea is it that you gave Yang Zisu to me as the lieutenant general this time?"

Zhan Jin did not hesitate to think: "I think it is undoubtedly Empress Chang. The general secretly revealed the matter of his miasma poisoning to the four famous doctors in the capital. Chang Tingjian's whereabouts can be found out from it, and the queen can also follow these traces back to the general. Cutting the grass and roots is a necessary means."

Wei Yueyan shook his head, with a pair of pupils approaching directly, as if a pair of pupils had been dotted with thick ink, "If I say, it may be the emperor, do you believe it or not?"

"Your Majesty?" Zhan Jin was obviously taken aback after hearing this answer. She quickly scanned the surroundings and lowered her voice, "General, don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't talk nonsense." Wei Yueyan's expression was very calm, he didn't seem to be insane at all, "It's not that I can't see that the emperor has been using Qu Quan to check and balance my power, and now Qu Quan has been emptied by half. How long do you think I can survive?"

"Not at all." Zhan Jin hesitated, "Although the emperor has always balanced the general and Mr. Qu, it is not possible to use things like war to reduce the general's power? I still feel that this move is something that the queen would do. "In the end, as if she was thinking about something, she bit her lips and added: "Although the emperor is suspicious and unscrupulous, he is not a fool."

Yan Luo didn't wait for Wei Yueyan's reply, Zhan Jin lowered his head a little uneasy to find Wei Yueyan's expression, but saw the man in the room cut off from most of the sunlight, his long eyes narrowed slightly, his thin lips pursed, Laughing penetratingly.

Who knows?

The most unpredictable emperor heart.

Zhan Jin didn't answer, and the master and servant remained silent in the closed room.I don't know how long it took, until the white mist gradually disappeared from the bathtub placed behind the screen, and finally someone knocked on the door of the general's dormitory.

It is green.

"General, Zhan Jin?" Lu Shen was startled when he saw Zhan Jin who came to open the door, and then was dragged in by Zhan Jin.

Seeing Lu Chen standing there in shock, Wei Yueyan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Madam just told me that someone from the palace has sent someone to say that the general will be invited to the palace for a banquet on the [-]th. The emperor has prepared a farewell banquet for the general and the deputy general who accompanied the general. Please be sure to attend the banquet. "

"Who sent them?" Zhan Jin's mind was full of what Wei Yueyan said just now that the emperor wanted to kill her, and he was anxious to confirm with Lu Chen.

"The people are sent by the emperor, but the banquet is held in front of the court and in the harem. The former court was set up by the emperor himself, and the harem seems to be set up by the empress herself. Princess Zhaoren is in charge of the banquet." Lu Shen replied tremblingly.

"Going to the banquet..." Wei Yueyan chewed these two words over and over in his mouth, as if he was chewing on a cut-off blood bone, "Do you want to imitate the Hongmen Banquet so soon, and come to catch a turtle in an urn?"

Both Lu Chen and Zhan Jin have been with Wei Yueyan for a long time, but she is different from Zhan Jin.

Zhan Jin had known Wei Yueyan long before Wei Yueyan came to Jinling and was still fighting with his father and brother. She had seen this woman's bloodthirsty killing on the battlefield, so she would not kill her because of her will. Or the frightening coldness unintentionally released and the loss of mind and fear.But Lu Chen is different, Lu Shen came to wait on Wei Yueyan three years ago, she didn't even have the chance to see Wei Yueyan covered with terrible herpes, she just knew the suffering that Wei Yueyan had suffered all these years , what happened.

So when he suddenly saw Wei Yueyan sitting here with full murderous aura, he felt as if his heart and soul had been captured in an instant, and he was in a panic and panicked.

Zhan Jin could see her fear, but his general was full of anger now, so he definitely couldn't persuade him. After much deliberation, he decided to move out the only wife who could extinguish the evil fire of his general.

"Lu Chen, there is an oral order in the palace for the madam, why don't the madam just say it? Let you come and say it instead?"

Sure enough, when he heard the word "madam", the general who was exuding murderous aura finally calmed down a bit, and then Lu Shen let out a long sigh of relief. Although it was still scary, it was better than the appearance of climbing up from hell just now. It's much better.

"Madam said that the general and Zhan Jin are talking about something very important, and it's inconvenient for me to intervene, so let me say it." Lu Shen said.

"..." Wei Yueyan couldn't tell what it was like when he heard the words, Zhan Jin and Lu Shen stood beside each other and looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say, always feeling that the evil fire that his general had just extinguished was rushing again Come up, and there is a growing trend.They all consciously kept silent, so as not to accidentally add fuel to the fire and cause a collective explosion.

With a soft sound, Wei Yueyan picked up the decoction that had been forgotten on the wooden table for a long time, and the smell had become very disgusting, and poured it all down with an expressionless expression on his neck.

"General, you..." It's not that Zhan Jin has never drank this kind of soup, let alone a sip, if she continues to drink like this, she will vomit out of her body.

But Wei Yueyan didn't seem to be affected at all, she stood up from Luohan's bed after four or five gulps and strode out of the room holding the empty porcelain cup.

As soon as the source of the cold air was gone, Zhan Jin and Lu Chen took a breath with lingering fear. It was really, really hard.

Wujun Taishou Mansion

"Princess Flower Banquet?"

Qu Quan stared at a pair of red bloodshot eyes, looking at the little eunuch who had traveled across mountains and rivers from Jinling to Wu County to pass on half a summer, and suspected that he might not have woken up yet.

"Yes, Mr. Qu, this is the Queen's order. While the previous dynasty held a farewell banquet for the soldiers who joined the army, they also set up a flower appreciation banquet in the harem, and invited all the officials and family members of Jinling to this banquet. .”

"Why is the banquet hosted by the Queen called the Princess Flower Banquet?" Qu Quan was puzzled, very puzzled, and a person like her who was extremely sensitive to the word "princess" was even more confused and reluctant.

The little eunuch thought about it for a while and replied: "It was a banquet hosted by the empress herself, but the second princess was in charge of the banquet, so this banquet is called the 'Princess Flower Banquet'."

After thanking the emperor for his kindness, after rewarding the little eunuch, Qu Quan turned his face to look worried at Ling Xueji when he watched the group leave the eunuch's mansion, "It's over, let's die."

"What death feast?" Ling Xueji blinked her eyes and looked at Qu Quan. Since the two exchanged their hearts that night, Ling Xueji has become more intimate with Qu Quan, and the previous feeling of being afraid to approach Qu Quan has been swept away. .

Qu Quan was weak, "I killed her husband, she must not torment me at the banquet."

"When did you—" Ling Xueji realized halfway through the sentence, "Yes, it was Zhaoren's banquet?"

Qu Quan nodded, "The queen's second daughter, the second princess, it's not who that hoof is." He bent down and pressed his head to Ling Xueji's shoulder, "It's over, it's over, your woman is going to die at this Hongmen banquet this time."

"Qu Quan, be more sober." Ling Xueji was itchy by her shoulders, she quickly pushed the person away, frowned and said: "If you want to be tossed, I will be tossed."

"Ah? Why?" Qu Quan seemed a little unresponsive.

Ling Xueji sighed, suspecting that Qu Quan was a fake. "The flower viewing banquet in the harem is attended by the female family members of the official family. You are an official from the previous dynasty, so of course you went to the previous court—"

The voice stopped abruptly, Qu Quan suppressed a smile, quietly waiting for her next words.

Ling Xueji came to his senses and held back his small mouth.

"What about the previous dynasty?"

"The Hongmen Banquet of the previous dynasty."
