I'm a bully in troubled times

After Qi Ranming's words fell, Gongsun Ke and Jiang Yu's expressions were a little subtle.

What is the relationship between Qi Ranming and Ying Xi, why can Qi Ranming be sure that Ying Xi will come out when he sees him?This is not like the relationship between a master and a subordinate.

But Qi Ranming didn't explain either.

He didn't explain, so Jiang Yu didn't ask.Anyway, after seeing Ying Xi, I will know the answer, so there is no need to rush at this moment.

"If that's the case, then I'll listen to you." Jiang Yu smiled, touched Qi Ranming's long hair hanging down his shoulders, and leaned over to hug him, "We have been exhausted all the way, you must be tired, tomorrow we will meet at the posthouse Rest and go out the day after tomorrow."

The next day, Qi Ranming rested at the post house, but Jiang Yu was called into the palace by Ji Mengming.

This is the second time that Jiang Yu has had close contact with Ji Mengming. He stood far away and saw the young man reclining on a soft couch. His skin was like jade, his chin was pointed, and his face without makeup was gorgeous and handsome. Even more beautiful.It's just that he has high eyebrows, a slanted smile on his lips, and a ball in his hand teasing a pure white dog with no variegated colors. His casual and mocking eyes make people feel that he is not teasing a dog, but a dog. Zhao Di and Shi Xiang.

"My lord, Mr. Suiyang is here." I don't know how many personal servants have changed and whispered carefully in his ear.

Ji Mengming paused slightly, stopped, turned his head and looked up at Jiang Yu, the expression on his face was faster than changing his face, he immediately showed a kind smile, and threw the ball aside casually, the dog wagged its tail happily I went to pick it up.

"Suiyang Lord." Ji Mengming straightened up from the soft couch.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and bowed to him: "Foreigner Jiang Yu, I have met His Highness Marquis of Jin."

"Wonderful thing, why don't you give a seat to Lord Sui Yang?" Ji Mengming glanced at the servant next to him.

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Jiang Yu smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness."

When the chair came up, Jiang Yu was not polite, sat down directly, and asked, "How is Your Highness?"

"Okay, why not?" Ji Mengming rolled his eyes and sighed, "Hasn't Mr. Suiyang heard about the New Year's Day? It's not appropriate for the widow, a prince, to be so useless! It's better to give up his seat to that Two old men, let them be!"

"How can Your Highness say such things?" Jiang Yu said, "Your Highness is a feudal vassal appointed by the Son of Heaven, with a noble status, how can you say it's inappropriate?"

Ji Mengming said: "Jun Suiyang regards me as a prince, but those two old men don't think so!"

Jiang Yu: "Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient. Yu came here this time because he was entrusted by the monarch to eradicate traitors for His Highness and help His Highness regain power."

"Really?" Ji Mengming was overjoyed.

Jiang Yu said: "Of course it is true, can I still pass on the king's will?"

"It's not that I don't trust Mr. Suiyang," Ji Mengming said, "Mr. Suiyang is a gentleman who promises a lot. Of course I know it. It's just that when Mr. Suiyang came last year, I..."

"Speaking of this, Jiang Yu still needs to apologize to His Highness," Jiang Yu said.

Ji Mengming looked up at him.

Jiang Yu explained: "Your Highness must have been far away in the Jin Kingdom, but he has also heard about the movements of my Yan Kingdom in the past year."

"In the spring of last year, not long after Jiang Yu returned to Ji from Quwo, he conveyed His Highness's letter and words to the monarch, but before they had time to discuss, Yu led the three armies and went to crusade against Qi under the emperor's order. The battle lasted for several months. , when we returned to Jicheng, it was already winter."

"At this time, due to the excessive military expenditure in the first battle between Yan and Qi, which led to a deficit in the national treasury, the government of Yan Kingdom began to prepare for reform. Your Highness knows that reform is not easy, and the ruling lord has encountered great resistance. Until this spring, Reforms are just beginning to be implemented.”

"Originally, Yu should also stay in Jicheng and plan together with the ruling party. But Yu remembered the agreement with Your Highness, so he went to the palace to meet the monarch, and begged the monarch to send me to Yan Kingdom to help His Highness. Only then did Yu have the opportunity to come here .”

There is no flaw.Indeed, Jiang Yu has been very busy this year, whether he was busy fighting wars or intrigues. He came to Jin even though Yan was undergoing reforms.After all, it was time to thank Jiang Yu.

Ji Mengming looked pale, and said: "It's because I misunderstood Lord Suiyang. I have indeed heard about the situation in Yan this year. Lord Suiyang, it's really not easy."

Jiang Yu said: "In troubled times, it's not easy for those who can survive. His Highness is in the center of the whirlpool, and I'm afraid it's even more difficult."

Ji Mengming looked sad.

Seeing that he had stabilized Ji Mengming, Jiang Yu made persistent efforts and continued, "I came this time to help Your Highness. Zhao Di and Shi Xiang are deeply entrenched in Quwo, and their forces are intertwined. Yes, Your Highness needs to plan and discuss with me carefully to come up with a perfect plan."

"Jun Suiyang is right," Ji Mengming said, "This matter needs to be carefully planned. Once those two old men find out, all previous efforts will be wasted. I don't know if Mr. Suiyang has any good ideas. listen?"

Jiang Yu pondered for a while, and said, "Your Highness, with all due respect, I don't know many things about Quwo when I first came to your land, including how powerful Zhao Di and Shi Xiang are, and what kind of power they hold in their hands. Your Highness It must be clearest after dealing with them for many years."

"Yes, I am confused," Ji Mengming said, "I should tell you about the power of the two old things."

Jiang Yu and Ji Mengming talked for a long time in the palace, and they came out of the palace after lunch.Ji Mengming has not been in vain all these years, he has more detailed information on Zhao Di and Shi Xiang in his hand, which is all precious information that he exchanged his confidant's life for.In order to deal with these two people, all of them are now shared with Jiang Yu.

With these things, Jiang Yu became more confident when contacting Zhao Di and Shi Xiang.

After returning to the post house, I heard that Zhao Di sent someone to invite him, but he was not there, so Zhao Di's people went back.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to visit Zhao Di himself.

Zhao Di still showed great kindness to Jiang Yu just like when Jiang Yu came last year.In the evening, Jiang Yu, who had been around with Ji Mengming and Zhao Di all day, was full of wine and food, dragged his drowsy mind back to the posthouse, and took a rest early.

——After all, there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.

When he was at Zhao's house yesterday, Jiang Yu asked about the good places in Quwo City, and Zhao Di pointed them out to Jiang Yu one by one.So after waking up in the morning, Jiang Yu took Gongsun Ke and Qi Ranming, and invited Zhongli Jun, and went out to enjoy the spring together.

There is a mountain in the southeast of Quwo, the name of the mountain is Zijin, the mountain is majestic and jagged with strange rocks.There is a spring on the mountain, named Woquan, also known as Jiangshui and Baishui.The spring water has been continuous for years, clear and drinkable, and sweet in the mouth.

Zijin Mountain is a good place that Quwo people love to go in all seasons.Now in spring, the snow disappears and the water rises, the spring water is clear, and there are peach blossoms and weeping willows beside the water.

When Jiang Yu arrived, Fang Zhichen, there was neither the cold in the morning nor the heat in the afternoon.A group of people walked to the mountains, and in addition to the great scenery, they also saw many Quwo people who also came here to play.

I also saw a peddler selling pine nut sugar.

Jiang Yu bought a bag for Qi Ranming.

When in Jicheng, Jiang Yu also bought it for Qi Ranming, but the pine nut candy in Jicheng tastes different from here for some reason.

A group of people spent most of the day in Zijin Mountain, and they didn't go back until it was almost sunset.Walking halfway, a person suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and snatched Mr. Zhongli's purse in broad daylight. Mr. Zhongli immediately went after him.

Someone dared to snatch Zhongli Jun's purse in the street, Jiang Yu looked at Qi Ranming, and saw Qi Ranming holding his sword hilt with one hand, looking vigilant, his eyes scanning the bustling crowd.

"It must be him." Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu didn't understand the relationship between Ying Xi and Qi Ranming, nor did he know what kind of person Ying Xi was. This person was too mysterious, so he asked in a low voice, "What would he do?"

Qi Ranming: "I don't know. But with Gongsun Ke's skills, you don't have to worry about anything."

Jiang Yu: "What about you?"

"It's okay," Qi Ranming said, "I'll be fine."

Qi Ranming didn't see anyone around, and was just feeling strange, until he raised his head, and saw a young man in a fancy dress at the window on the second floor of a restaurant by the side of the road.

Jiang Yu followed Qi Ranming's gaze.

I saw that the man's frame was big, but his face was thin, and his face was as pale as when he first met Qi Ranming.The clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, and they are very valuable at first glance. Wearing a jade crown and holding a folding fan, he looks like a sick and weak young man.A pair of dark and deep eyes were staring at Qi Ranming without blinking.

Almost instinctively, Jiang Yu felt that he hated this person.

It's not surprising that he hated it, because the man looked at Jiang Yu with hostility.

When the eyes of the two met, Ying Xi's lips slowly curled up, revealing a slightly provocative smile.

Jiang Yu thought to himself: Heh, you won't be able to laugh later.

Ying Xi folded the folding fan in his hand and ticked Qi Ranming, obviously telling him to go up.

"Go up." Qi Ranming withdrew his hand on the hilt of the sword, feeling that Ying Xi was much calmer than he imagined, "After going up later, be more careful, both those who enter and those who do not enter."

Jiang Yu nodded: "I know."

Passing through the noisy lobby on the first floor, Jiang Yu and the three of them went straight to the private room where Ying Xi was on the second floor, led by the waiter in the shop.

"That's right here, gentlemen, please come in." The shop waiter got Ying Xi's order, brought them to the door, and said with a smile.

Qi Ranming casually threw him a few taels of silver, and said, "If any strange movements happen in the room later, don't make noise, don't report to the police, you understand?"

The little boy weighed the weight in his hand, and before he had time to laugh, he heard this, and turned his eyes on Qi Ranming and Gongsun Ke's sabers, knowing that they were people he couldn't offend, so he smiled compensatingly: " Yes, the villain understands, please be objective."

After the waiter left, Jiang Yu asked him, "Where did you get the money?"

Qi Ranming took it for granted: "Of course I don't, yours."

Jiang Yu touched his purse, it seemed a little lighter, and asked in surprise, "When did you get it?"

"Guess." Qi Ranming made a rare joke, "When he escaped from King Qin's palace, he was young and unfamiliar with the place, so he did everything."

Qi Ranming said while pushing open the door of the private room.

Ying Xi was sitting at the table facing them, with a folding fan on the table, playing with half a cup of tea in his hand.Behind him are two attendants, twins, who look almost identical, one with a left-handed sword and the other with a right-handed sword.The temples are protruding, and it looks like a Lianjiazi.However, according to what Qi Ranming said just now, Jiang Yu shouldn't have to worry.

As soon as the door opened, there was no barrier between the few people, and they faced each other frankly.

Ying Xi slowly raised her eyes, her gaze casually swept across Jiang Yu and Gongsun Ke, and finally stopped on Qi Ranming, her eyes were burning, as if she saw something very precious, and she couldn't take her eyes off for a moment.

Qi Ranming turned a blind eye to Ying Xi's gaze, walked in, and said to Jiang Yu, "Come in."

Gongsun Ke was equipped with a sword. His internal strength was deep and his steps were very light. He immediately attracted the attention of the twins. He walked half a step forward and pulled out the sword in his hand two inches.The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.

Jiang Yu stood there indifferently, his expression unchanged.

"Don't be rude." Ying Xi raised his hand to stop them.

The two retracted their swords at the same sound, and stood back to their original positions.

Qi Ranming stood at the door all the time and didn't go in.Seeing Ying Xi, he smiled slightly and said, "Ran Ming, why are you standing so far away, why don't you come over a little?"

Qi Ranming didn't even bother to give him a look.

Jiang Yu stepped forward at the right time, and said with a smile, "Second Young Master misunderstood, I am the one who is looking for you today."

The smile on Ying Xi's face remained unchanged, and she looked at Jiang Yu, but her eyes showed a cold expression, and she said with a smile, "You? Looking for me?"

"Exactly." Jiang Yu said.

Ying Xi lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his cup before slowly saying, "I don't care what you are looking for, or who you are, I only ask you, you and him—" Ying Xi looked at Qi Ranming, "What is it?" relation?"
