He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Jinyan.
Xie Jinyan frowned slightly, showing some thoughts, but this expression was fleeting.
Soon, his face returned to its usual peaceful look.
He just nodded calmly to the young man and said, "Brother, may I ask what business your chieftain has here?"
Xie Jinyan's demeanor was calm, but his words were unconcealed vigilance.
In this situation, he has nothing to hide.
The relationship between the Song family in Qingzhou and the imperial court was inherently at odds. The imperial court wanted to conquer Qingzhou, but Qingzhou had always wanted to dominate, and it would be best to become the lord of Shu.
Qingzhou was afraid of losing power, fearing that after the imperial court conquered them, they would be exterminated and their power would be gradually taken away.
The imperial court was afraid that Qingzhou would rebel.
In the final analysis, neither party did anything wrong, but they both had murderous intentions towards the other party.
As the prince of the Wei Dynasty, Xie Jinyan was in Qingzhou and under Song Yan's nose, so he naturally had to be on guard.
As for Song Yan, when he invited Xie Jinyan at this time, he was naturally aware of his identity.
After all, being able to rule Qingzhou for many years and becoming increasingly powerful proves that Song Yan is not a fool.
The reason why he could tolerate Qin Yiliu and Shen Ke was that it was profitable in the first place. Now that he doubted them and realized that they seemed useless, he would not be as indulgent as before. The orphan would follow Xie Jinyan and
Yu Qingwu took advantage of the situation and sent them to prison.
But he must also be suspicious of Xie Jinyan.
Now I suddenly invited him over, I don’t know what the purpose was.
Xie Jinyan thought to herself, and the color in her eyes became darker.
Meeting his eyes, the boy couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "This... I'm not sure about this."
"Um...Thank you, Mr. Lang, Mrs. Yu. I'll be waiting for you in the study. You'd better hurry up and go as little as possible, but don't embarrass the younger ones."
The boy frowned, looking rather troubled.
Seeing his appearance, Xie Jinyan knew that he couldn't ask anything else, so he didn't say any more, nodded slightly, and then gave Yu Qingwu a look, as if asking, and said, "You
Should you wait for me outside or go in with me?"
By saying this, he obviously didn't want her to follow him.
Yu Qingwu felt a little helpless. Xie Jinyan had been too sentimental recently, so much so that he always wanted to leave her behind and face danger alone.
But he seemed to have forgotten that even if she didn't follow her in, she was still in Song Yan's position. If Song Yan really wanted to harm them, what would be the difference between him going in and not going in?
Therefore, Yu Qingwu did not answer.
He glanced at the boy lightly and said, "Brother, could you please lead the way?"
After saying that, she walked directly ahead.
After hearing this, the boy immediately went to the front to lead the way.
That positive attitude, that attentive face, as if he was afraid that the two people in front of him would run away in the blink of an eye.
Now that the matter has come to this, they have no intention of escaping. Unless they reach a desperate situation, they will not put themselves in danger.
Therefore, neither of them said anything else.
I just quietly followed the boy's footsteps, all the way through the front yard, then through the corridor, then through the backyard, around a winding path, and finally arrived at Song Yan's study.
At that time, Song Guan was already waiting outside. When he saw Xie Jinyan and Yu Qingwu, his face didn't look good.
When the two of them walked up to him, he lowered his voice to a minimum, using a volume that only the three of them could hear.
He said in a low voice, "Xie Langjun, Madam Yu, I think my father seems to have noticed the identity of the two of you. Just now after I explained the ins and outs of Qu County to him, he praised me for the first time, but his expression showed that
It seems a little subtle."
"And, he
He also asked me a lot of questions about you. On the surface, they seemed insignificant, but I always felt something was strange."
"Anyway, you should be careful. My father is most afraid of being deceived. Regarding Qin Yiliu and Shen Ke, I thought they were of some use. That's why I turned a blind eye."
Song Guan looked worried. Firstly, he was indeed worried about the two of them. Secondly, he was afraid that if something happened to these two people, he would be beaten back to his original shape.
However, in the face of his worries, Xie Jinyan seemed much calmer.
Since he dared to come, he would naturally be able to bring something to trade with Song Yan, but everything was risky, so he just thought that he could come in alone.
But now, Qingwu must follow, and it is useless for him to worry. The best way is to protect her, even if he dies here today.
After thinking clearly, Xie Jinyan naturally calmed down.
He pursed his lips, smiled at Song Guan, and replied lightly.
"No problem, since we have decided to come, we have naturally expected it. My father has been in charge of Qingzhou for many years. If there is no doubt about this, then how can he be worthy of being the overlord of this side."
After saying this, Xie Jinyan walked straight inside.
Yu Qingwu nodded slightly toward Song Guan and followed him in.
Squeak, as the door was pushed open, Song Yan's evil face slowly came into view.
"You two, please take a seat."
In the brightly lit room, Song Yan was sitting by the window, holding a bowl of tea in his hand and gesturing for the two of them to sit down with his eyes.
Hearing this, Yu Qingwu was not polite and calmly sat on a stool not far from Song Yan.
With a smile on his face, he bowed to Song Yan politely and asked calmly, "What's the matter with Chief Song inviting us over?"
"What's going on? Isn't it clear to the Crown Princess?"
Song Yan sneered.
At the same time, Yu Qingwu and Xie Jinyan were both shocked.
None of them expected that Song Yan would be so direct.
Originally, Yu Qingwu spoke first, just to confuse the audience and make Song Yan confused.
After all, it is taboo for a woman to get involved in politics. As a princess, when it comes to political affairs, generally speaking, she will not speak before the prince, or even speak at all.
Song Yan's straight-to-the-point statement made Yu Qingwu instantly stunned.
In contrast, Xie Jinyan recovered quickly.
Seeing Song Yan being so straightforward, he no longer beat around the bush.
He said softly and in a complimentary tone.
"Chief Song has a good eye."
"In that case, there is no need to beat around the bush. You must have heard about the current situation in the DPRK. I am here to make a deal with you."
"make a deal?"
Song Yan sneered, looked at him with disdain, and asked in an unabashed and contemptuous tone, "You are a South Vietnamese leader and a prince who is about to be deposed. What do you want to trade with me?"
"You want to use me, Qingzhou, to eradicate the alien party. Why, you used some tricks to fool Song Guan and Alan, and then you treat me, Song Yan, as a fool?"
