Chapter 247 The Princess's Last Wish

A few days later.

Li Ke looked at the bronze mirror and carefully looked at his clothes. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he smiled slightly and said to the waiter beside him, "Is Qin Mubai here?"

"In reply to Your Highness, General Qin has arrived in the main hall and has been waiting for Your Highness for a long time."

"Bunless, why don't you report it early?"

With a scolding, Li Ke strode out of the bedroom and went straight to the main hall. Seeing Qin Mubai sitting there tasting tea, he laughed loudly: "Mubai, you're here!"

"It's really happy, Your Highness, you are really full of red today." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Do you have it?" Li Ke smiled happily and sat down and said, "When I went to the capital, the military and political affairs of the size of Xiangzhou will be entrusted to you. Before I come back, it will be hard for you for a while!"

"It's okay. I called Pang Fei back to take care of the military mansion. As for myself, I can temporarily replace your Assassin's office and have the addiction of sitting in court and politics. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Haha!" Li Ke laughed loudly and laughed very cheerfully.

But before today, Li Ke was very entangled and depressed.

After leaving the palace from the underground, Qin Mubai never asked him what he saw in Yu**, and he did not go forward to see it. But judging from Li Ke's expression, he should have been shocked, so his mood became a little unstable.

No wonder no one thought that there was such a huge secret hidden in the West River, and this secret had more or less to do with Li Ke. Can he not be excited?

Finally, Li Ke was also very confused about how to deal with Yuxi. On the one hand, he may be a little selfish. On the other hand, he always feels that he has got a hot mountain, and he is not hiding it. Before he found Yang Guang's body, he thought more clearly and should dedicate the jade seal to the emperor.

But after seeing Yang Guang's corpse, he seemed a little hesitant. Qin Mubai knew what he was worried about without asking - he took what he found in his grandfather's mausoleum and flattered his father. He seemed to be a little embarrassed. Moreover, the one who gets the jade seal is the true son of heaven who is "orried to heaven". Li Ke came from Chang'an. By mistake, he got the jade seal "retained" for him by his grandfather in a place like Xihe Cao, but he could only give it away with his eyes, and he was somewhat unwilling.

Speaking of which, Qin Mubai clearly knows that it is Li Ke's heart demon and ambition!

The appearance of this jade seal has unprecedentedly bred Li Ke's desire and inflated his ambition. Seeing this scene, of course, Qin Mubai had to find a way to convince him to dispel this desire and ambition. So he gave an example of the Three Kingdoms - Sun Jian got the jade seal and hid it privately, and died in random arrows before he could brew the hegemony; Yuan Shu got the jade seal's ambition to become emperor, and as a result, he was killed by the world, and the end was even more bleak.

It is true that the jade seal is a symbol of imperial power and destiny, but if a person with no strength and bad reputation possesses it privately, it is a way to take evil.

Hearing this, Li Ke suddenly became enlightened - Yuxi is just a symbol and a symbol. It does not bring the magic of imperial power and hegemony. It can only be an auxiliary and recognition after receiving imperial power and hegemony. It's really worth the loss to get a jade stone and kill yourself. It's better to dedicate it to today's emperor to show loyalty and reward. This is a real gain!

So, Li Ke decided to go to Beijing to present the jade seal in person, and report the departure from the palace and the body of Yang Guangzhen to his father, Li Shimin, that everything was up to him.

"Your Highness, is everything ready?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Almost, there is nothing to prepare." Li Ke said, "It's just that I'm a little worried about the princess and her daughter, and please take more care of them. Especially the princess, who is seriously ill.

"Well, I know." Qin Mubai nodded, "Yuwen Hongtai took the royal family's own soldiers to guard the mausoleum. I will transfer Xue Rengui to the house, so that you can rest assured."

"It's good. Anyway, it's all up to you. I can rest assured that you are here. Li Ke nodded with relief and smiled.

"Then don't delay. Let's go!" Qin Mubai said, "The faster you get to Chang'an, the sooner you get to Chang'an, the sooner you offer the jade seal, so as not to have more dreams at night. I have selected 15 of the most capable hundred riders to escort you all the way, but I can guarantee this journey.

"Okay, I'll start right away. Hurry up and travel 300 miles a day and get to Chang'an in five days!" Li Ke got up and stepped forward and patted Qin Mubai's arm with one hand, "Thank you, Mu Bai. Please give me everything here.

"Go ahead!" Qin Mubai nodded and smiled.

Li Ke nod his head and strode out of the main hall. In the yard, fifteen fully armed soldiers, each with three horses, escorted a car and was fully equipped and on standby.

Qin Mubai came out and shouted, "Baiqi listens to the order!"

"No!"

"Escore Your Highness to the capital. If there is any mistake, come and see you!"

"No!--"

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction: "What a powerful teacher. I am completely relieved to be accompanied by hundreds of riders. Let's go, Mu Bai. See you later!"

"Go quickly and go back quickly. It's really not particularly suitable for me. I can't help it. Don't think I really like it." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Come on, I don't know yours yet." Li Ke smiled and got into the car. All the people rode neatly on the horse and drove away, and soon the dust went away.

Qin Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said secretly: Fortunately, he persuaded Li Ke that there was no hidden jade seal. Otherwise... the consequences are really unimaginable! In the feudal era, things like jade seal really had the magic of disturbing people's minds. Fortunately, I come from the 21st century. In my opinion, this kind of thing is just an antique, at most a seal and official seal. It's really not worth it to lose your life for a "public seal".

While thinking about it, he walked into Li Ke's study, that is, the office. Seeing a set of public clothes specially left by Li Ke here, Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. He picked up the assassin's robe and stroked it on his body. He smiled and said, "Well, let's be the mayor for a while and have a good time."

"Come on, change your clothes!"

"Yes."

Several maidservant hurriedly answered and helped Qin Mubai change into a cyan tattoo official robe, which was a good fit. Then, he swaggered to the government office of the Assassin's Mansion. Those other assistants and Cao Zhengs were already on official business. Li Ke had already confessed his words, so it was not surprising that they saw Qin Mubai today. Instead, they came to visit him with the salute of assassins and reported on various work requests, instructions and adjudication.

Qin Mubai is not polite. Although he is an agent assassin, he has to do it early. Those who should make an idea will make a decision. Those who should criticize the decree will criticize the decree, and all regard themselves as a real assassin. Anyway, Li Ke also said that he had full power over Qin Mubai. From then on, he was the king of Wu and he was the assassin of Xiangzhou.

It's just that these officials of the Assassin's Office are a little nervous: a military officer is sent as an agent to take care of government affairs and people's livelihood, which is too much of a joke! The friendship belongs to friendship. The King of Wu is really a little nepotism this time. There are so many assistant officers in the Assassin's Mansion. It's better to choose one at will than to get a military officer who doesn't understand civil affairs to take charge, right?

But at the end of the day, all the government officials were stunned and convinced Qin Mubai.

They didn't expect that Qin Mubai was so good at people's livelihood and government affairs. Although he is relatively unfamiliar with the area of people's livelihood and government affairs, he can always understand it quickly after listening to his subordinates' explanations, and put forward his own ideas and make decisions. In contrast, Qin Mubai was more able to listen to the comments of his subordinates than Li Ke, and these subordinate officials were more willing to put forward their own opinions and let Qin Mubai learn from them.

Sensitive, modesty, listening, resourceful, long-term - this is the impression and feeling of Qin Mubai by the government officials.

As for the promotion case, it is Qin Mubai's specialty. Whether it is a big case or a small case, Qin Mubai's trial is interlocked and reasonable, and the provisions of the law are even more familiar, which stunned Chen Tang's pen book and the code secretary. As for the criticism of the case, it is also reasonable. The plaintiff and the defendant are completely convinced and can't be said. The people's gentry who are listening often burst into bursts of cheers and applause, raising their fingers and praising.

"It turns out that the sitting director is also quite fun. If it goes on like this, won't you get a plaque of 'Qin Qingtian' and hang it? Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing secretly.

In the past few days, Li Ke has been trapped by Yuxi and has abandoned some accumulated government affairs. Therefore, it will take some time to deal with these accumulated cases. After a busy day, Qin Mubai really felt a little tired. The meal was solved in the case room. At night, the biggest idea was to fall into bed and have a good sleep.

When he was about to leave the Assassin's House to rest in the inn, Su Lianqing found him and said that Princess Wu was invited.

"What did the princess call me?" Qin Mubai asked her.

"How does a maidservant know about the master's house?" Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and said cheerfully, "Do you want to get a message from me? There is no door!"

"Looking at your posture, are you trying to get some benefits?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Let me tell you, there is no door."

"Iron Rooster!" Su Lianqing laughed and scolded angrily, "Hey, the girl is gone. Aren't you lonely again?"

"Do you want to seduce me again?"

"It's not!" Su Lianqing curled his lips and said with a smile, "I just want to know if such a majestic man as you are on the bed!"

"Go to hell, that doesn't mean it!" Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll see the princess."

"Haha!" Su Lianqing laughed evilly and said, "Go quickly. The princess is waiting for you in the main hall of the back house."

When she arrived at the main hall in the backyard, Qin Mubai saw Princess Yang sitting in the side seat from afar. When she saw Qin Mubai coming, she asked the maid to get up and meet her.

Qin Mubai hurriedly greeted and arched his hand and said, "The princess should sit in the right position. How can she get up and meet the minister? Death, death!"

Yang was originally born very beautiful. Because of the heavy body, he looked pale, just like a delicate flower withered and lost a lot of luster. But her body is full of natural dignity, but it is lingering, which makes people involuntarily feel a little awe.

"General Qin's words are heavy. The general and His Royal Highness are invinciable friends, which is enough to discuss friendship between brothers and not with respect and inferior etiquette. In this way, the general is my concubine's uncle. The concubine greets each other respectfully, which is just and reasonable. Yang said with a pale smile and weakly.

"Well, the princess doesn't have to be like this. You are sick and heavy, and it's easy to sit down. If there is a training, just say it."

Qin Mubai at least asked the maids to sit down with her. Yang coughed a few times, and he did look extremely weak. After recovering her breath, she smiled sadly and said, "My concubine is sick, so let's make a long story short. You all step back!"

"Yes..." The maids and maids retreated and closed the door.

"Your Highness, what do you want to say?" Qin Mubai asked, with the same curiosity in his heart.

Princess Yang, the princess of Wu, also has the noble blood of the former Sui royal family, and Li Ke is still related. This marriage was led by Li Ke's mother and the former Princess Sui, and it can also be regarded as a match between the family. Qin Mubai has also heard a lot about this respectful princess. All he knows is that she has always been gentle, elegant, knowledgeable and reasonable. She is a typical lady from a famous family and is extremely respected. But I have never been in contact with it, or even officially seen it.

"General Qin, you can also sit down!" Yang waited for him to sit down and said, "General Qin is not an outsider. I will say it directly if I have something to say. My concubine knows that the disease is heavy, and there is not much life. There is a last wish that I want to entrust to General Qin. I wonder if General Qin is willing to help me with this?

"What?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be shocked, "Your Highness, don't say that. You are in your youth. Now you are just sick. You can recover in a few days with some soup. How can you say such a bad thing casually?

"No. I know my body. Although the king of Wu and the doctor refused to tell me about my condition, and may not have disclosed it to the public, I know it in my heart. Yang smiled and her voice was weak, but she said more seriously and said leisurely, "General Qin, don't you want to hear the last wish of a cheap concubine?"

Qin Mubai frowned and nodded and said, "Of course you can help, but I don't think this is a last wish. If there is any punishment from Your Highness, please tell me!"
