"Hmph! Are you looking down on me now? What's wrong with girls? Are you men only allowed to make contributions?"
"That Zheng Xianba, in my opinion, is just a bastard! He is simply a bidder!"
Xia Nianqiao refused to admit defeat, and when she spoke, she had the aura that no one would care about her!
After listening to it, Lin Yiqiu felt that these words were really familiar!
Strange, isn't this a line from Mr. Guan? Does Xia Nianqiao still pretend to be pretentious by Mr. Guan?
However, before Lin Yiqiu could speak, a steady voice sounded again in the inner hall.
"Qiao'er, don't cause trouble. Let Governor Lin and others come in quickly. I have something else to tell them!"
When Lin Yiqiu heard this, he quickly said: "Miss Xia, time is pressing. We have to go in and discuss with the prince first."
With that said, Xia Lingfeng continued walking inside under the leadership of Xia Lingfeng.
Xia Nianqiao was so angry that she stamped her feet and couldn't stop complaining!
"Huh! I just look down on women! Damn it!"
After a while, Lin Yiqiu and three others had arrived in the inner hall.
Xia Lingfeng asked the servant to bring tea, and then invited Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong to sit down.
At this time, King Pingnan was sitting on the main seat, looking at them with a deep expression.
Lin Yiqiu took the initiative to hand over his hand.
"My lord, since I came back from Shiye City, I have neglected to visit you. Please don't blame me."
Lin Yiqiu had great respect for King Pingnan!
Not only because of Xia Qingwu's previous incident, King Pingnan helped him so that he could successfully suppress the rebellion.
Even more because King Pingnan is a good prince who truly serves the country and the people!
Compared with him, those ministers of the DPRK and Central Government seemed to be of extremely low class!
When King Pingnan heard this, he invited Lin Yiqiu and the others to drink tea and said with a smile: "Supervisor Lin has been working for His Majesty, so he is naturally very busy."
"This time, His Majesty has arranged for you to put down Zheng Xianba's rebellion again. Governor Lin, Your Majesty has great trust in you!"
Similarly, King Pingnan also admired and respected the eunuch Lin Yiqiu.
Although he was a junior, Lin Yiqiu gave him the impression of maturity far beyond that of other young people!
Although sometimes the methods seem a bit cunning, in the eyes of King Pingnan, these are all flaws!
Such a capable eunuch is the talent that Daqian Country needs!
King Pingnan is not one of those pedantic scholars. As long as he has the ability, it doesn't matter what his status is!
Even if you are a eunuch, you are much more powerful than the officials who are full of corpses!
Lin Yiqiu spoke modestly.
"Thanks to the emperor's promotion, this rebellion is no small matter, so naturally I will do my part!"
"By the way, Your Majesty, Mr. Xia said that you have something to tell us specifically. I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Lin Yiqiu immediately went straight to the topic.
After hearing this, King Pingnan's face suddenly became serious again.
Then, he did not talk about Zheng Xianba directly, but asked a question first.
"President Lin, do you know King You?"
"King You?"
Lin Yiqiu looked slightly stunned.
He didn't travel long enough, so he really didn't know much about King You. He only knew that there was such a prince in Daqian.
As for more information, I don't know at all.
As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Cang Hong knew more about this.
He frowned immediately.
"Prince You, the prince who helped the late emperor seize the throne! He is also one of the ten heroes who contributed to the founding of our country! The prince who stands beside you, Prince Pingnan!"
"It's just that because of his treasonous intentions, he was imprisoned in Tingzhou by the late emperor. He is still not allowed to enter the court! Why did the prince suddenly mention him?"
Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong showed puzzled expressions at the same time.
King Pingnan took a sip of tea and continued: "King You and I had a deep friendship at the beginning, but since he was imprisoned in Tingzhou, I have never seen him again!"
"The last time we met was when he died of illness more than ten years ago. This time when you go to suppress the rebellion, you may have to be careful not only of Zheng Xianba, but also of another person, Xia Yuantong!"
"Xia Yuantong?"
Lin Yiqiu's expression was startled again.
King Pingnan nodded and said: "Yes, he is the son of King You, and he is about ten years older than you!"
"After King You died of illness, he took over the throne of King You and continued to live in Tingzhou."
"What does this have to do with Zheng Xianba? Please let me know clearly!"
Lin Yiqiu became increasingly curious.
A prince and a rebel, he didn't understand why King Pingnan suddenly got in touch with each other.
King Pingnan's eyes were darker at this time, and his face was extremely solemn.
"King You's ability to lead troops is almost the same as mine. But after he was imprisoned in Youzhou for treason, his 50,000 soldiers wanted to rescue him, but they were dispersed by the imperial army!"
"Later, these dispersed troops began to wander in the Mangtang Mountain area near Tingzhou, and gradually turned into a scourge of bandits!"
"The imperial court has launched several expeditions, but due to the special geographical location of Mangtang Mountain and the mountain's dangerous terrain, it has never been able to completely eliminate them!"
As he said this, King Pingnan stroked his beard and paused for a while, as if to let the two of them digest it!
When Cang Hong heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"I remember that there is a mysterious organization in Mangtang Mountain that originated from banditry. It is called Wanjin Tower! It is said that they are all desperadoes! Could it be that they are the original confidants of King You?"
"Yes! It's them! This Wanjin Tower is the organization they established! Not only that, their strength has spread hundreds of miles outside Tingzhou! It is said that Xingyang is also among them!"
King Pingnan explained carefully.
After listening to his words, Lin Yiqiu couldn't help but frown, as if he was thinking about something.
Cang Hong still didn't quite understand.
"My lord, what exactly do you want to say? What does this have to do with Zheng Xianba?"
"Yes, father, please stop showing off!"
Xia Lingfeng also said anxiously.
However, at this moment, Lin Yiqiu's eyes flickered and he immediately raised his head.
"My lord, you mean that Zheng Xianba might join forces with Wanjinlou to fight against the imperial court?"
"That's right! That's exactly what it is!"
King Pingnan nodded immediately, his eyes filled with appreciation.
Lin Yiqiu was smart, he already understood the meaning before he finished speaking.
Cang Hong and Xia Lingfeng also frowned. If these two parties unite, they will undoubtedly cause greater trouble!
only...
Cang Hong suddenly said: "Although Wanjin Tower is an organization developed by bandits, according to Jin Yiwei's intelligence, these people will not easily obey anyone's orders!"
"What this organization values is loyalty! Even if Zheng Xianba has an army of 50,000, he wants to join forces with them! I'm afraid he may not succeed, right?"
"After all, if we join forces, we will really go against Da Gan! Kill without mercy!"
Cang Hong was right, this Wanjin Tower is just a Jianghu organization after all!
Since it is a Jianghu organization, why should it blatantly oppose the imperial court? This chapter has been completed!
