As soon as King Yu returned to Beijing, he was shocked when he heard the news that King Jing had defeated Beidi and destroyed Ye Qin.
It's just a matter of defeating Beidi, but destroying Ye Qin is a real achievement of destroying the country. It can be predicted that as long as Wang Gang returns to Jinling, Emperor Liang will definitely reward him generously.
In fact, even before Wang Gang came back, Emperor Liang's decree had already left the capital and was rushed to the northwest for 800 miles.
Emperor Liang not only promoted Concubine Jing to the rank of Concubine Jing, but also promoted Wang Gang from the title of Prince to Prince, and to the title of Prince of Three Pearls.
King Yu himself was only the Prince of Five Pearls now. What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that Emperor Liang unexpectedly promoted a general from Prince Jing's palace, named Lie Zhanying, to temporarily command the Northwest Army.
The moment he got the news, King Yu couldn't sit still at all, and frantically looked for his military advisor Qin Banruo.
Qin Banruo disappeared for a month, and after King Yu returned to Beijing, she appeared again.
After not seeing him for a month, King Yu noticed some changes in Qin Banruo. His face was slightly haggard, but his spirit was exceptionally good.
"Huh, where have you been since you've been missing for a month?" King Yu asked Qin Banruo angrily.
Qin Banruo smiled brightly and said: "My lord, please forgive me, but Hongxiu got into some trouble not long ago. You just happened to go to Jiangnan again, so I will go back and deal with it."
King Yu was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "What trouble took you so long to deal with?"
"It's nothing, it's just that a traitor has appeared. I'll go back and clean up the house, and I'll screen the red sleeves up and down." Qin Banruo said calmly.
King Yu frowned and said, "How could there be a traitor? Is it serious?"
Qin Banruo shook his head and said: "Some sisters are used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and have forgotten their original aspirations, so Prajna went back to educate them."
King Yu asked: "Do you need me to send someone to help you manage the Red Sleeve Moves?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Prajna can handle it well."
King Yu said nothing more and changed the subject: "Do you know about King Jing's affairs?"
"The story of King Jing's overthrow of Ye Qin has long been spread in the capital. How could Prajna not know about it?" Qin Prajna made a cup of tea for King Yu.
"Ye Qin people are really useless. Not only could they not assassinate Jamel Xiao, they also destroyed the country for him and only contributed to his reputation." King Yu said angrily as he picked up his tea cup.
"What will happen to the relationship between the prince and Ye Qin?" Qin Banruo asked.
King Yu was stunned, and then he realized that the letter he had conspired with King Ye Qin might have fallen into Wang Gang's hands.
After Qin Banruo learned about the stupid thing that King Yu had done, he couldn't help but have a headache and said: "My lord, how can you personally write a letter about this kind of thing! It's better to find someone to write it on your behalf!"
Prince Yu said nervously: "I didn't think that much at the time. I thought that Jamel Xiao would definitely die. How did I know that he could defeat Ye Qin!?"
Qin Banruo sighed and said: "Now this letter will most likely fall into the hands of Prince Jing."
"Then what should I do!" King Yu panicked.
"My lord, don't be anxious, there should be room for change in this matter." Qin Banruo frowned and said:
"If Prince Jing wanted to report His Highness, you wouldn't be able to sit here. His Majesty would have already invited him into the palace for questioning."
Prince Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "You are saying that Jamel Xiao wants to use that letter to threaten me."
Qin Prajna shook his head and said: "Prajna can't guess what King Jing is thinking at this time."
King Yu anxiously walked around the room, suddenly thought of something, and said to Qin Banruo: "This time I went to Langya Mountain, Langya Pavilion recommended a great talent."
Qin Banruo's eyes flashed when he heard this, he quickly lowered his head and continued to make tea to cover up.
"The people recommended by Langya Pavilion must have the talent to deal with the world."
King Yu smiled and said: "A Qilin talented man can conquer the world. I have checked that Qilin talented man and he does have some abilities."
King Yu became more and more excited as he talked, but he didn't notice that Qin Banruo's tea-making hand slowed down.
"Qilin Talent Mei Changsu is not only the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, the largest force in the world, but also ranks first in the Langya Master List. I heard that this time the sixth prince of Yan can sit on the throne, it is Mei Changsu who is behind him.
Come up with suggestions." King Yu said excitedly:
"If I can win over this talented Qilin man, and you, I will be even more powerful."
Speaking of the excitement, Prince Yu's eyebrows started to dance.
Qin Banruo looked calm on the surface at this time, but in fact, he was filled with resentment in his heart.
"Has the prince seen this talented Qilin man? Prajna heard that this man is very proud and cannot be controlled by ordinary people." Qin Banruo reminded.
"Mei Changsu should have arrived at Jinling. This king is going to lower his rank and recruit him personally. What do you think?" King Yu didn't care about Qin Banruo's thoughts at all. All he wanted was Qin Banruo's attitude.
"Prajna would like to wish the prince to recruit great talents as soon as possible." Qin Banruo has been acting tepidly, making it difficult for people to see her thoughts.
King Yu said again: "Then what kind of gift do you think it would be better for me to give him?"
Qin Banruo almost couldn't hold his character, and the veins in his right hand were bulging out, but he still held back and said: "I think that Mei Changsu Gui is the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, and ordinary gifts should not be able to catch his eye, so the prince can prepare some that stand out.
one's gift."
King Yu nodded in agreement and said: "Well, you are right, I need to think carefully about it."
Qin Banruo looked at King Yu's serious look and thought to himself that when you recruited me, I didn't see you putting so much thought into it.
Sure enough, I only hear new people laughing, not old people crying!
After chatting with Qin Banruo for a while, Prince Yu left to prepare a gift for Mei Changsu. Qin Banruo waited for a while and also left Prince Yu's Mansion, but did not return to Hongxiu Zhao.
Sitting in the carriage, Qin Banruo couldn't help but tremble. It was no longer possible to maintain the ladylike posture just now. He kept rubbing his nose, with mucus and tears coming out.
"Old horse, how long until we arrive!" Qin Banruo kept asking the coachman.
"Miss, please bear with me, we'll be here soon."
The driver drove the carriage into a large house. Before the carriage stopped, Qin Banruo couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, rushed into the house, and took out a box of black paste and a pipe.
Lighting an oil lamp, Qin Banruo skillfully took out a little of the paste and smeared it on the bong. Just as he was about to reach for the light, he suddenly stopped.
Looking at her trembling right hand, Qin Banruo screamed and wanted to smash the pipe away, but after several attempts, she couldn't do it.
After struggling for a long time, the physical discomfort became more and more intense. In the end, Qin Banruo couldn't resist the temptation of smoking and smoked.
Lao Ma outside the house kept staring at Qin Banruo's every move. He couldn't help but sneer and silently closed the door.
On the other side, Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui, the eldest son of Marquis Ning Guo, and Yan Yujin, son of Marquis Yan, came to Jinling together. Before they entered the city gate, they saw a heroic woman riding a horse and getting ready to leave the city.
"I've met the princess."
"I've met Sister Nihuang."
When Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin saw the woman, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted. The person who came was none other than Princess Nihuang.
When Nihuang saw the two of them, without saying a word, he drew out his sword and stabbed them.
The two of them did not show weakness and simultaneously drew their swords to fight back.
Mei Changsu was sitting in the carriage and when he saw the beautiful figure flying up and down, his mind couldn't help but jump back to the moment when he first met Nihuang more than ten years ago.
He could also see that Nihuang and Xiao Jingrui were just testing their martial arts skills and had no ill intentions.
Nihuang tried the martial arts of Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, and was very satisfied with it, so she took the initiative to put away her sword.
But the moment she saw Mei Changsu, she was stunned.
"Why does this ordinary man give me a very familiar feeling?" Nihuang couldn't help but feel confused as she looked at Mei Changsu's unfamiliar appearance.
