"This...is inappropriate." Yan Liang did not expect Liu Zhennian to agree so readily, and was stunned after hearing this.
Ye Yongjia raised his eyes slightly and saw Liu Zhennian waving his hands and saying: "Don't let Ting Long's heart go cold. We finally have a reliable talent who knows everything about Nanjing and has been entrusted with it. How can we exclude him here? We should give him a try.
That's right. What's more, your brother is in charge of the capital, so it's worth the delay for a few days, but it's such a big deal."
Yan Liang was speechless for a moment, so Magistrate Ye took the opportunity to bow: "Thank you so much!"
"Like Tinglong, we both worked for the country's great plan, so what's the point of thanking him?" As he said that, he helped him up and said to Lu Yingshan, "You escort Mr. Ye out of the house and invite Taiwei Gui by the way.
Report to the emperor, draft an edict, and capture Qi Zi quickly, so as not to allow the Wanlu and other parties to take advantage of the situation."
"My subordinates understand!" Lu Sijin crossed his fists and called on several imperial soldiers to take Ye Yongjia out.
Qi Zi opened his eyes slightly and saw a ray of white light coming in from the window. It was already morning. He sat up, rubbed his temples, and subconsciously touched his waist, but found nothing. He was suddenly startled and hurried out of the window.
Jump out of bed
, lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that the sword had indeed disappeared. Qi Zi sighed and walked around the room a few times. Thinking that Zheng Shiyan had arrived in Yue Mansion, he took the official uniform, put it on hastily, and then quickened his pace.
, leave the house.
"Commander Zheng!" As soon as Qi Zi walked into the palace door, he saw Zheng Shiyan striding towards the meeting hall. In his panic, he ignored the etiquette and went straight over to pat him on the shoulder. "I was so drunk last night that I didn't know where to go."
What happened? I hope Mr. Zheng can speak quickly to avoid misunderstanding."
Zheng Shiyan threw away his hand and sighed helplessly: "You still ask, look at you... Oh, let's talk about it later! Let me discuss it with Mr. Lu first."
The more Qi Zi listened, the more reluctant he was to leave. He simply blocked the road with his hands and begged: "My Commander Zheng, we can't afford to delay this fact! Let's talk aside and drink three bowls of tea."
Zheng Shiyan had no choice but to be pushed into a cubicle on one side by him, and just now he said: "Commander Qi, I couldn't advise you that day. You drank so much, something is bound to happen."
"Please speak quickly." Qi Zi gritted his teeth anxiously.
"So you wielded the sword in front of everyone. When someone recognized the appearance of the sword, he left the table and told Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately asked for the sword from you. I think
The atmosphere was not right, so when you went to the toilet to vomit, someone was sent to take you home."
After Qi Zi heard this, he felt a chill coming down from head to toe, and his face was as pale as flour.
"Why did I do another good deed? Please ask Commander Zheng to clarify the facts to Yue Gong, and you must find a way for me to survive..."
Zheng Shiyan frowned and said nothing, and then said for a moment: "It depends on Lu Gong's wishes. Shiyan can only do his best. You and I have been brothers who have been through life and death for many years. I want to protect you even if my tooth breaks today. Don't worry."
"
Qi Zi felt much more at ease and calmed down his usual temper at this time. He thanked him profusely and went into the hall with him to see Lu Fangxuan.
Lu Fangxuan was peeling oranges in the hall. When he saw Zheng Shiyan coming, he wanted to stand up to greet him, but when he saw Qi Zi following behind him, his expression turned dark and he continued to peel the oranges.
"Your Majesty called me two here, why don't you know?" Zheng Shiyan grabbed Qi Zi next to him, and the two of them knelt down at the same time.
When Lu Fangxuan saw Qi Zi trembling all over and not daring to look up, he laughed coldly, ate the orange in one bite, rubbed his hands, and got down from the chair.
"Qi Zi, your sword is really good." Lu Fangxuan walked slowly to Qi Zi.
Qi Zi's heart was pounding, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "Well, since Yue Gong likes the sword, there is no harm in taking it. It's just... I made a fool of myself last night and humiliated the military government. I hope Mr. Lu will deal with it according to the law and set an example to others."
.”
Zheng Shiyan hurriedly came over to help: "Commander Nian Qi has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and has made great contributions to our government. I will spare him this time. He will definitely learn his lesson and will not do it again!"
"Qi does not need General Zheng's intercession. I hope he will be dealt with according to law!" Qi Zi took over the conversation and added.
Lu Fangxuan saw the two of them singing together, obviously trying to get Qi Zi off the hook. He himself also wanted to keep Qi Zi temporarily, so that he could kick him away in the future. After thinking about it, he leaned over and took a look.
Eye Qi Zi said: "Come together, take the lead. This is not your fault. Get up and discuss things."
After hearing this, Qi Zi burst into tears and shed tears of gratitude: "Mr. Lu is so magnanimous, and the villain will die ten thousand times in return!"
"You and I have been brothers since childhood, just like biological brothers. How can we bear to ask questions?" Lu Fangxuan said with a smile.
Qi Zi had mixed feelings in his heart: 'I have been with him for many years, but I have never understood his character. It seems that Brother Lu is not an ungrateful person. I can keep this position forever!'
"Let's take the lead."
"Oh," Qi Zi came back to his senses and came forward to bow, "Your Majesty, you have given me orders."
"According to someone sent by King Wanjun, Ye Yongjia went to visit Liu Zhennian this morning, probably to obtain the imperial edict. If the edict is really issued, it will definitely be more difficult. Now we still need to make a decision, and let's take the lead.
Do you have a plan or two?"
Qi Zi said calmly: "We are just competing with Liu Dang for speed. The fastest way is for you to personally block the order."
"How can you block His Majesty's will! Are you crazy?" Zheng Shiyan couldn't believe it, thinking that Qi Zi was still talking drunkenly.
"Before the edict was written, I asked you and Wan Heshun to go straight to the palace gate and tell you in front of the palace how my case was unjust. The Liu Party did not dare to stop me. Your Majesty will definitely respond when you see the two princes in front of you. Good.
The best one can restore my innocence, and the worst one can at least postpone it for more than ten days, which is enough room for cleverness." Qi Zi ignored Zheng Shiyan's words and stubbornly advised him.
Lu Fangxuan was convinced, and waved his sleeves and said: "I have lived half a hundred years, and even if I die, I have nothing to worry about. Why not give him a fight and see what Liu Dang's abilities are! Prepare your horses and go to the palace -
—Wanheshun Mansion!"
"Brother Lu Xian!" Wan Heshun, who had just frowned, saw Lu Fangxuan entering the garden, and was immediately overjoyed. He stamped his feet, ran over to him, and hugged him tightly.
"It's really a long drought!" Wan Heshun patted Lu Fangxuan's back hard and shook his arms.
"It's an urgent matter, so I won't say much. I have a plan to offer that will break Liu Dang's evil intentions." Lu Fangxuan swallowed his saliva before exchanging pleasantries and said hurriedly.
Wan Heshun stared at him: "Could it be that he and Brother Yu met with the emperor to prevent him from issuing an imperial edict?"
Lu Fangxuan nodded crazily: "Yes, yes! The county prince is really my sworn brother! How can he know my heart?"
Wan Heshun said no more and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Tell all the guards at the gate and tell them to open the way for Wan Lu and Er!"
