Chapter 309 Hot Blood Boiling, Xiaohan Palace
Leng Xuanrong suddenly remembered why An Pingzhi suddenly gave a favor to Liu Mingchu when he came to his house just now. Although Leng Xuanrong has never seen the first assistant prime minister An Longyi several times in this life, she knows this person very well. Several times in his previous life, Leng Xuanrong clearly knew that the high-ranking assistant prime minister was not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also very arrogant. At that time, An Pingzhi said that his father was thirsty for virtuousness, and Leng Xuanrong felt something was wrong when he was worried about the matter of Enke. Now think about it, nine times that An Pingzhi knew that Du Yilin, the king of Xiaohan, provoked these students to write thousands of words behind his back, so he got Liu Mingchu. Maybe he will regard Liu Mingchu as a key pawn to ruin Du Yilin's game.
Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong's mind became confused again. An Pingzhi always hits the east and west with the sound of two birds, and Leng Xuanrong is always confused like this.
Although Leng Xuanrong was a little worried about Liu Mingchu's safety, it was beneficial for her to know about it at this moment. Leng Xuanrong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Meng Zhuangqing with a smile, "Mr. Meng, the matter of Wanyan is the prince's test for you. Didn't you always want to return to the prince to work for him when you were in Wuming County? If this matter is done, the prince will definitely entrust you with heavy responsibilities again. So... Mr. Meng, you have to work hard."
Meng Zhuangqing listened to Leng Xuanrong's words, and his heart was full of blood. His eyes were shining and he nodded vigorously.
Leng Xuanrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile and whispered, "Mshao, don't worry, you took a lot of care of me and Brother Yan Liang when I was in Wuming County. I won't help you. As long as I have a chance, I will definitely help you find a way."
Meng Xuanrong's words moved Meng Zhuangqing. He recalled that he always looked at Leng Xuanrong when he was in Wuming County, but now Leng Xuanrong is willing to help him, which really makes Meng Zhuangqing feel ashamed. However, Meng Zhuangqing also knew that what Leng Xuanrong said was absolutely right. There was not much chance of success on her side, and everything depended on herself. This is the first time that the prince has entrusted important things to him. Meng Zhuangqing decided to take this as a starting point to show his hands and feet in the imperial city and beside King Xiaohan.
Leng Xuanrong walked far away. Looking back at Meng Zhuangqing, he still seemed to be excited there. Leng Xuanrong couldn't help shaking her head with a secret smile and speeding up her pace to Xiaohan Palace.
The bodyguard in front of Xiaohan's palace was still pleasant after seeing Leng Xuanrong. After they reported it, someone took Leng Xuanrong to the door of Du Yilin's study. Leng Xuanrong didn't expect that it would be so smooth to come to Du Yilin this time. Standing at the door, she actually became a little nervous.
As soon as the door opened, Leng Xuanrong saw Du Yilin standing by the window in the distance with his back to her and didn't know what she was thinking. Leng Xuanrong walked into the room, and the door was closed by the guard from the outside.
"Reng Xuanrong, you're here again." Du Yilin's voice was as cold as before.
Leng Xuanrong walked slowly to the desk. Although Du Yilin turned her back to her, she still gave a deep salute, and then said, "Is the prince all right?"
Du Yilin sneered when he heard the words, turned around and asked Leng Xuanrong, "I should ask you this. You have been so busy recently that you go in and out of the Prime Minister's mansion, as if that's your own courtyard. What? Do you also want to prepare any surprises for the first and auxiliary prime minister's birthday banquet?
Leng Xuanrong looked at Du Yilin with her eyebrows. She could see that Du Yilin should be very tired at this time. He even yawned in front of Leng Xuanrong without care.
Leng Xuanrong dared not deny what Du Yilin said. She never thought that her every move could hide Du Yilin's eyes. But it was also because of this that Leng Xuanrong felt that she could have a pleasant talk with the king in front of her.
"Your Majesty, Leng Xuanrong came to the palace this time to tell the prince one thing first, and then ask the prince a few things. I don't know if the prince agrees." Leng Xuanrong said softly.
Du Yilin smiled, came to the desk and sat down, and said quietly, "Leng Xuanrong, you little girl is getting more and more refined. OK, since I let you enter the door, I just want to hear you talk. Just say whatever you want."
Seeing Du Yilin's gentle expression, the tension in Leng Xuanrong's heart suddenly decreased a lot. She calmed down and whispered, "I just met Mr. Meng Zhuangqing on my way here. He asked me to help find some students I know. When I was in Wuming County, I attended the folding willow meeting of Degu Tower, where I did meet a fellow student named Liu Mingchu. But just before I came, An Pingzhi went to my house and happened to meet this student. An Pingzhi said that his father was eager for virtuousness, so he took Liu Mingchu away. I guess..."
"Do you guess that An Pingzhi wants to use this Liu Mingchu to damage me and prevent the students from signing those ten thousand words, right?" Du Yilin interrupted Leng Xuanrong's words with a smile and asked.
Leng Xuanrong nodded, "Liu Mingchu is now alone without relatives, and even jumps over the moat. In case he is trapped by An Pingzhi, he can really do everything. Please be careful."
Du Yilin nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Leng Xuanrong, and whispered, "Do you want to get any more benefits from me by reporting this letter to me?"
Hearing this, Leng Xuanrong was unhappy again. She said to Du Yilin in a low voice, "What the prince said is not interesting. The prince must know what I do. What I want to get from the prince should also understand. Leng Xuanrong is too strong to show off when she knows something. If the prince wants to laugh at me, he'd better find something more worthy of your smile.
"Yo, are you still angry?" Du Yilin laughed loudly, and his mood seemed to be much more relieved.
Over the past few days, he has been immersed in dealing with the affairs of An Longyi and the General's mansion, and his whole body is about to be crushed. If it hadn't been for the words left by Mr. Wu and Dou Yandong before leaving, maybe Du Yilin would have been at a loss at this time. An Longyi's people in the imperial court have been the majority, but now with the power of the general's mansion, Du Yilin can be said to be alone. The situation in Wuming County was reported by the Prime Minister and the general's mansion, and the news publicly discussed in the court also came from them, but the news they reported was completely different from the news verified in Du Yilin in private, but the relationship between He Lijing and the 100,000 elites became Du Yilin's immediate problem.
Du Yilin can't make it clear that the 100,000 elites were raised by An Longyi, but now the words reported to the court by An Longyi and the general's mansion have abruptly counted all the 100,000 horses on He Lijing's head. They said that He Lijing gathered the 100,000 horses outside Wuming County to plot how to rush to the imperial city, but Du Yilin was informed that 100,000 elites had besieged Wuming County and strictly guarded all the throat roads in and out of Wuming County. That is to say, now Wuming County is a lonely city, and Du Yilin doesn't know what's going on inside. Relatively speaking, An Longyi may still be related to Chang Hongkai, the leader of the 100,000 elites. Although it seems that An Longyi kicked the 100,000 elites away from his side, in fact, this may be his way to cover his eyes. An Longyi may still manipulate 100,000 elites and wait for the opportunity to swallow the soldiers of Wuming County. A must-have place for your family.
If this is really the case, if the court sends troops, the soldiers and horses may be severely damaged after arriving in Wuming County. At that time, the Anlong Yila flag will rebel, and the resistance of the imperial city will be doubled. But if the court does not send troops, An Longyi may immediately let his 100,000 elites swallow Wuming County. At that time, the mountain pass will be opened, and how many of the fief counties that are blocked outside are loyal to the emperor?
Now Du Yilin has neither progressed nor retreated. He can only wait for the news from Mr. Wu and Dou Yandong.
Although she was in a dilemma, she still had to do what she wanted to do. Du Yilin looked at Leng Xuanrong and couldn't help thinking that this woman really did not disappoint herself. From Yan County to Huangcheng, she has always been able to see something interesting at the most difficult time.
"Reng Xuanrong, what do you think Liu Mingchu and An Pingzhi went to hit you?" Du Yilin asked with a smile.
In fact, Leng Xuanrong did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Du Yilin. She suppressed her anger and whispered, "Little Flower Lady of Mr. Liang knew that I was worried about the disappearance of Brother Yan Liang, so she took Liu Mingchu to let me read the letter written to him by Liu Mingchu's acquaintances. The letter said that the people who went to Wuming County now were captured by a group of people who looked like private troops, so it is estimated that Brother Yan Liang fell into the hands of those people. Speaking of this, Leng Xuanrong sighed and then said, "An Pingzhi... He came to tell me that Brother Yan Liang was in the hands of Chang Hongkai... and said... and said..."
"Is it said that he planned to rebel with Chang Hongkai and others?" Du Yilin finally turned cold and asked Leng Xuanrong in a low voice.
Leng Xuanrong looked up at Du Yilin and nodded, "He said that Brother Yan Liang's relationship with Chang Hongkai was unusual. When He Lijing rebelled with them, Brother Yan Liang might do something to do... But I know Brother Yan Liang won't! Lord, we need to save Brother Yan Liang!"
Du Yilin frowned and was silent. He did not consider how to save Zeng Yanliang. On the contrary, Du Yilin was a little happy. Although he did not know how to send Zeng Yanliang to Changhongkai, this step was absolutely beneficial to Du Yilin. Du Yilin knew Zeng Yanliang's character and knew more about everything that happened to him. Du Yilin looked up at Leng Xuanrong and couldn't help smiling. He thought to himself, as long as you, Leng Xuanrong, would you be afraid that Zeng Yanliang would rebel?
