Chapter 184 Return to Beijing
"Well, now is not the time to fight for spirit," Huanying said softly, "Didn't I tell you that there are some things that you should learn to endure. At least Lang Dingyuan's behavior proves that he is not a person who steps on several boats. The more clear he stands, the more I think this person is worth fighting for."
"How to fight for it? The cunning of the old man is comparable to Lou Xun." Shi Feng was so enaned. "Even if this kind of person fights over, when he sells us, we may still help him count the money."
"Haha", Huanxuan and Zhou Yanting couldn't help laughing, "I can't count the money, let's wait until he sells us." Huanling smiled and said, "As soon as the people who went to Suzhou come back, I want to see Lang Dingyuan again. General Zhou, can you remember to help me arrange it?"
"No problem," Zhou Yanting replied, "But I can't guarantee whether Lang Dingyuan is willing to see his wife. What if he refuses our request?"
"He will definitely agree to see me," Huanling said happily, "He owes us a favor in the matter of Li Ren. He is willing to see it, and if he doesn't want to see it, he has to see it."
"Oh, my God, madam, I'm convinced." Shi Feng patted his head and shouted, "No wonder madam doesn't care about Lang Dingyuan. It turns out that my wife has already figured it out and put Lang Dingyuan's army instead?"
"Hey hey," Huanwen said mischievously, "There are both good and bad sides to everything. It depends on whether you will make good use of it. It was Lang Dingyuan who set the trap for us first. Naturally, we don't have to be polite to him, right?"
"I said that my husband is unparalleled," Zhou Yanting praised sincerely, "It's easy to do. I will go back and prepare for my wife's explanation immediately. Please wait for the good sound."
Two days later, Lou Xun's search was fruitless. Before Zhou Yanting made trouble, each checkpoint received a holy order and began to release the current quantitative switches one after another.
On the third day, Lin Hao was instructed by Zhou Yanting to send the city and took Huan Xuan to disguise himself and sneak back to the capital.
As soon as we met Zhou Yanting, he said happily, "Madam, our people are back, but there is another good news. Please change your clothes as soon as possible. I'll take you to see someone."
"Who? Who are you going to introduce me to? Is it very important? Do you have to change your clothes?" He asked in surprise.
"Well, it's very important." Zhou Yanting looked up and down at Huanxuan and said, "And my wife is dressed as a village woman, so it's not suitable to meet guests!"
"Oh, that's right." Huanxuan suddenly said, "It's all to sneak into the city and dress up like this. I forgot it myself, but can I meet the people who come back from Suzhou first and then go with you to meet the guests?"
"Madam, don't worry, you can't run away when you come back," Zhou Yanting said with a smile. In addition, there are some important situations. The guests want to discuss with his wife, so it's not too late to see the people who come back from Suzhou after discussing.
"Okay, that's all right," Huanxuan no longer insisted.
"Please, madam, the changing clothes have been prepared for you," Zhou Yanting said and opened the door of a room.
After a while, Huanxuan changed his clothes and asked Zhou Yanting, "Are the visitors in the secret room?"
"Yes, the guest came yesterday." Zhou Yanting replied and led the way in front of him. "But it was too late yesterday, and it was too late to go out of the city to inform you."
"Are there more than one guest?" Huanying thought in his heart, who would come to visit at this time?
"Oh, the visitor also brought an entourage." In his explanation, Zhou Yanting had opened two secret doors in a row and entered the secret passage with Huanxuan. At the corner of the passage, Zhou Yanting stopped, "Madam, please. The guests have been waiting for his wife in the secret room for a long time."
Huan Ling looked at Zhou Yanting inexplicably, "Why, won't you go in with me?"
"Well," Zhou Yanting smiled mysteriously but full of kindness. "The last general guessed that the guest wanted to talk to his wife alone, so it was inconvenient for the last general to disturb him. Madame'd better go in and meet the guests by herself."
"What the hell?" Huanying stared at Zhou Yanting and said, "The bad smile on his face looks like he's teasing me."
"How dare the last general, how dare the last general?" Zhou Yanting quickly smiled and said, "The guests have really been waiting for your wife for a long time. Madam just go in."
Huanying looked at Zhou Yanting, "Well, if you dare to play a trick on me, I'll settle accounts with you later."
Step by step, she walked to the inner hall of the secret room. Huanying saw the figure of the visitor step by step in speculation. The tall man was elegantly dressed in white and walked back and forth in the inner hall. This figure was very familiar, but she never thought that he would suddenly appear.
The moment he turned around, the visitor happened to meet the walking Huanxuan. The visitor was stunned for a moment, and a warm smile immediately floated to his cheek, "Huanxuan!" He gently spit out two words, and his soft tone with a meaningful aftertaste, which was the deepest call precipitated by his unforgettable heart and day and night.
It brushed the lingering heart like a spring breeze, "King, why are you here, my lord?"
Huanxuan couldn't believe her eyes, so she instinctively called not Ruitong, but the prince.
"I, I'm worried about you, so I'm here." Zhuo Ruitong had a smile on his face, but his heart was a little sour. I don't know if it was because Huanxuan's response was not as eager as expected, or because he met at this moment. Huanxuan's expression made him feel that something must have happened to Huanxuan, but he just continued to explain, "I I have received the news from Zhou Yanting that the situation in the capital is so complicated that I can not worry about your safety.
"But, are you crazy?" Huanxuan rushed to Zhuo Ruitong in a few steps and shouted at him, "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to come to the capital? How is the situation of the guard now? Don't you care about it? And don't you care about the government and people's livelihood in Wei County? Who asked you to come to the capital? Why don't you discuss it with me!"
Zhuo Ruitong was stunned. He had never seen Huanying lose his temper with him like this. He stayed up day and night looking forward to seeing Huanying. It was like being poured cold water on his head. Zhuo Ruitong's throat was astringent and he choked, "Yes, it's because of the danger that I want to come regardless. I would rather face the difficulties with you than I want to stay alone in the palace and wait for your news with worry all day long. Joy, whether it is life or death, whether it is blessing or misfortune, whether it is victory or defeat, let us bear it together, okay? Regardless of success or failure, even if I will lose everything in the world, including my own life, at least let me try my best to advance and retreat with you, so that I will have no regrets in my life.
"Ruitong!" Huan's eyes turned red, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you, I'm just..."
"Don't say it, don't say it. You don't need to explain. I understand everything." Zhuo Ruitong stepped forward and stared at Huanling affectionately for a long time, and then gently held Huanling in his arms. "I know your heart as much as you know my heart, so I want to cherish every second with you. Never let anyone or anything affect us and separate us. Don't drive me away, okay? Believe that I have enough ability to protect myself and my beloved woman.
"Well", Huan lingered in Zhuo Ruitong's arms and nodded his head rarely meekly, "You are the prince. How can I be so good at driving you away? In fact, Ruitong, the moment I saw you just now, I really felt so happy. Even if it's hard it's like walking on thin ice, there is always your concern all the time, and there is also a I don't care about me if I lose my temper. What I want to say is that it's good for Ruitong to come to the capital, so that I feel much more at ease.
"Little fool, have you finally figured it out?" Zhuo Ruitong smiled and patted Huanying's shoulder gently, as if he were coaxing a child, but he thought in his heart, "Huanying really encountered a situation."
"I figured it out." Huan Xuan said with tears, " Even Li Ren and Zhen Mei can break through the secular stereotypes and come together sincerely. Why can't I let go of everything in the past?"
"Li Ren...? Oh, I heard from General Zhou," Zhuo Ruitong sighed leisurely, "It's really difficult for them. Haven't there been any news about Zhen Mei yet?"
Huanying shook his head, "I haven't seen the shadow of Zhen Mei for many days after chasing along the south road. I guess there will be no result if I look for it any more. In addition, He Ning's robbery of the fear, all the checkpoints leading to the capital have been blocked. In the past two days, the ban has just been lifted, so the people who went south to look for Zhen Mei have been there for several days. There is no news back."
"There's nothing we can do. Let's put the matter of looking for Zhen Mei for the time being," Zhuo Ruitong said, "Now the world is so chaotic that finding someone is not like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"That's what I think." Huanying nodded and answered, "I think when the matter in the capital is almost dealt with, we can also draw more people to find the whereabouts of Zhen Mei."
"Okay, you have worked hard for you. Come to us and have a chat while drinking tea." Zhuo Ruitong said and stretched out his arms, gently took Huanling's hand, and walked to the big table in the hall. The two of them sat down at the table. There were gentle footsteps from the passage, and it was a disputed tea.
"Ming Zheng, you are also here." Huanxuan looked at Mei Zheng and Zhuo Ruitong and said, "Ruitong, you have brought people here. In case the capital can't feel it for a long time, what about the affairs of Weijun?"
"Don't worry, I have arranged a prudent old minister to deal with government affairs for a period of time. If there is no decision, you can convene a parliament to consult the ministers, or ask my mother to help make a decision. Weijun has always been in a relatively stable environment, and various decrees and measures are also in an orderly manner. I have been away for a short period of time, and I don't think anything big will happen.
"But didn't the Empress Dowager mind to eat fast and recite Buddhism and ignore the government?" Huanxuan said curiously, "Why are you suddenly willing to help the emperor listen to politics?"
Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "The queen of mother, she ignores the government, but isn't she clear about everything? She also knows that the tripartite dispute between Wei Guo, Wu and Lou Xun has reached the most dangerous and tense period. As a mother, how can she not fully support her son?
