Chapter 10 Exploring
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan stayed in place, and the regent opened a crack from the gauze tent, as if they were exploring and signaling.
Leng Changxi owed his body slightly and saluted the regent.
"Prince Tuoba is a busy man," the regent said as he stepped down the wooden steps from the carriage. At a closer look, his eyebrows were full of elegance and dignified, contrary to the natural aggressiveness of the Beidi people. The regent slowly approached with a kind smile, "But this time I have come in person. Please, I hope that Mr. Tuoba can have a good face, but I hope that Mr. Tuoba can have a good time. After saying that, the regent turned to Qin Yunuan very politely, "If Mrs. Tuoba is also willing to come, it would be even better."
The regent came to invite him in person. If Leng Changxi shirked it again, he was afraid that it would cause more trouble. In silence, the regent had ordered someone to come to another carriage. The regent waved his hand and pointed to the carriage behind him and made a gesture of invitation. Although the sunset, there were still many pedestrians on the street, and the regent did not dared not dare What are you doing here?
Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan into the carriage. Compared with Wanyanba, the regent's carriage was low-key but exquisite. The inconspicuous black handrails were actually carved and rounded by dozens of processes. The tentacles were round and shiny, and they felt extremely comfortable.
It can be seen that the regent is a very elegant person, and even the small gathering place selected is a simple and elegantly decorated restaurant. In Beidi, it is not easy to have such a restaurant. Sure enough, the owner of this restaurant is a Daqi person. She looks familiar with the regent and greets him as soon as she comes in. But as soon as Leng Changxi saw the boss's wife, he couldn't help tightening his expression.
The boss's wife, who was called the "13th Niang" by the regent, looks exactly the same as Ren Sanniang in the Devil City. Although Leng Changxi's heart was surprised, his face was always calm. On the one thing, he did not know the true identity of the 13th Niang, and on the other, he now wears a human skin mask, even if it is his surname. Tuoba is no longer the handsome Tuoba in Devil City.
"Your Royal Highness, I have reserved your favorite seat for you. Please." Thirteen Niang greeted the three people very calmly, and her eyes looking at Leng Changxi were no different from looking at other guests.
The regent turned his head to stop him and said, "No, I'm going to have a banquet today. The previous position was too small. You open a box. As for the dishes," the regent said, consciously glanced at Leng Changxi and said, "Some of the Central Plains-flavored dishes you are good. The tea and rice fruits last time were very good."
After saying that, the regent looked at Leng Changxi and Qin Yuuan and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Qin Yunuan said silently, "It turns out that the prince also loves Daqi's dishes."
The regent picked up the tea cup on the table and took a small mouth and said, "It's just to accommodate the guests."
After a moment of silence, Qin Yunuan did not believe that the regent had known their identity and knew that they were from Daqi. If not, he would not have such a tentative Hongmen banquet. Her gentle tone became calm: "I miss our Xixia's pancakes very much."
The regent smiled and ordered a plate of unique Xixia corn flour pancakes for Leng Changxi and Qin Yu.
The dishes were served, but the regent was not in a hurry to eat, but smiled at Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan and said, "Don't worry, there is another distinguished guest who hasn't come."
Qin Yu's eyebrows were stunned. It seems that this distinguished guest is today's highlight.
There was a steady sound of footsteps on the steps. With these footsteps, he knew that he was a martial artist. The curtain of Yaza was lifted, and the regent immediately stood up when he saw the person appearing at the door.
"It's really rare for Vice General Shang to come here."
Leng Changxi turned his head and looked at it. It was none other than Shang Xianhua's biological son, Shang Lindong, the legitimate son of Shangfu.
At this time, Shang Lindong was dressed in a military uniform with silver-gray armor, and the red hairpin on his helmet was very eye-catching, much like Shang Xianhua who entered the barracks at the beginning of that year, but Shang Xianhua was dead. Everyone knew it, but what was more terrible was that Qin Yunuan attended the wedding banquet of Shang Chunman and Leng Wu, so Shang Lindong recognized her.
Although her eyes were covered with white veil, Qin Yunuan did not make any disguise except that her dress and tone was slightly biased towards the Xixia accent. Looking at Shang Lindong slowly approaching, Qin Yunuan only felt that the air around her was slowly being pulled away, and the feeling of almost suffocation made her pale. She did not know Shang Lindong's position. However, after Shang Xianhua's death, he was not only not affected, but also promoted to deputy general in the frontier, which was enough to show his attitude towards Sima Rui.
Leng Changxi has moved his hand to the dagger hidden around his waist, waiting for Shang Lindong to fight to the death.
Shang Lindong approached and looked at Qin Yunuan, who pretended to be calm, and suddenly said, "This lady, you look very panicked."
He didn't directly puncture Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunuan already had confidence in his heart. Since he didn't break the first side, he would not say anything in front of the regent.
The regent carefully observed the interaction between the three and suddenly introduced: "This is the deputy general of Shang of Daqi. Now he is guarding the Yumen Pass and is in charge of the key road between Daqi and Beidi. General Shang is a family of generals, and his father Shang Xian died in the country and is loyal."
"Real?" Leng Changxi's tone was very light, "Zhonglie?"
Shang Lindong's face was expressionless, as if he had heard a story far away from him.
The regent smiled and introduced to Shang Lindong, "These two are Mr. Tuoba and his wife from Xixia. Will General Shang look familiar with him?"
Shang Lindong glanced at Qin Yunuan and said, "I don't know." It didn't seem to be enjoyable, and added, "I haven't heard of it."
"Oh, well," the regent raised his neck and suddenly asked, "What did General Shang think of the plan I said last time?"
Shang Lindong's words were always cold: "I haven't considered it."
The regent's face stiffened: "What does General Shang mean?"
"I won't consider Daqi's harmful plans." Shang Lindong's attitude is very firm.
"General Shang, why..."
"After all, Beidi's Daqi meal is not as delicious as Daqi's,""If the prince has nothing else to do, he will leave."
is just a deputy general in the frontier. He dares to challenge the prince of Beidi. Looking at the back of Shang Lindong's departure, the guards around the regent couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, do you want to show this unknown vice general a little color? The prince kindly gives him face and In the way to make money, he dared to pretend to be high in front of the prince and refute the prince's kindness. Can the prince bear it?
"What can't stand," the regent said as he looked at Leng Changxi with his spare light. "Some people, in order to make a comeback, even ruffians and rogues can pretend to be ugly, but they are just a little dog who doesn't know the depth of the world. Why should they be angry with him? Mr. Tuoba, do you think that's the truth?"
Leng Changxi raised his eyes and skewered a piece of delicious beef on the triangular fork of the fork. He silently put the beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly: "General Shang is very special, but special people all died early."
At the end of the banquet, Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan left first. The regent still leisurely sips the mellow and delicious pear-flavored horse milk wine in the elegant seat. Looking at the backs of Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, who slowly left in the afterglow of the sunset, he ordered the humane behind him: "Keep up with the deputy general Shang, if this Tuoba is really Daqi The person they are looking for will definitely meet in private.
In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, you can see the side concubine Yasu waiting at the door from afar. When she saw Qin Yunuan appearing on the stone road, she immediately went down the steps to greet her.
Avoiding the cold Changxi with cold eyes, Yasu pulled Qin Yunuan aside and said, "Something happened. The fourth prince knew that I helped you contact the warrior Bocharji in private and asked him to frame Maomu with a silver needle. After that he came back, he lost his temper with me and said that I was ignorant and made me more sick."
"How did he know?"
Yasu shrank her neck and avoided Qin Yunuan's eyes and said, "He saw the letter I contacted with my father. This was an accident. Really, when he came into the room, I fell asleep on the desk because I was too tired and didn't pay attention to put the letter away."
"Does Bocharzi Khan also know?" Qin Yunuan was a little speechless about Yasu's behavior.
"Otherwise," Yasu was very aggrieved. "The warrior is my father's person. Women have never had much status in Beidi's family. If I didn't beg my father, the warrior would not listen to me at all."
"It's okay," Qin Yunuan tried to make Yasu less nervous and also tried to calm herself down. "Dahan's illness is not because he was angry, but because..." Qin Yunuan said this and stopped abruptly. For a simple person like Yasu, let her know that the fact that Beidi Khan was secretly poisoned with chronic poison is more harmful than good.
Yasu and Qin Yunuan are still talking, and the fourth prince has sent Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan over.
"Side concubine, I still advise you not to say too much if you can't tell others. I know you trust your own father, but for me and my father-in-law, we only trust ourselves," Qin Yunuan's words made Yasu a little afraid, and then Qin Yunuan added: "Don't think what I said It's terrible. Princess Saichun was so easy to believe in some people's things that she had such an end.
