Chapter seven hundred and twentieth
Shi Chongren has been very "floating" recently. Every day when he opens his eyes, he is surrounded by people, rushing to speak flattering words, trying every means to accompany him to eat, drink and have fun, and serving King Luo Huai has become the most important job in Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Zhuang Weisong looked at the little prince who was chatting and laughing in the seat with great worries. If he was used to being surrounded by flatterers, Shi Chongren would probably become a useless person in the future. How could he be worthy of Concubine Liu in the palace? He had advised him several times in private, but the 14-year-old boy was having fun and could not listen to it. He just perfunctorily told him that he had a clear idea and then he would play with it.
Jiang Anyi walked into the hall where King Luo Huai was, and there were people sitting in it. There were laughter from afar. Hong, Xu, did not take care of Liu Changshi, were all there, and were discussing where to play today. Xu Guoxiang put his mind on dealing with Qingtian Department a few days ago, but Qingtian Department did not find any problems. He felt relieved and came to Luo Huai's side to make fun of it today. Hong, and Liu Changshi, have been with the prince these days, and Xu Guoxiang naturally did not want to miss this good opportunity.
"Master Jiang, why are you free today?" Shi Chongren saw Jiang Anyi entering the house and said with a smile: "But the matter of Zhitian Qingqing was completed, and he happened to go to Luofeng Mountain to play with Xiao Wang. I just heard from Lord Xu that Luofeng Mountain is full of sycamore trees. During the Great Wei Dynasty, someone saw phoenixes flying by on the mountain. Xiao Wang guessed that the phoenix could not be seen, and other birds could still be seen."
Jiang Anyi heard Zhuang Songwei muttering to him that Shi Chongren was crazy during this period, so he asked him to think of a way to persuade him. After all, King Luo Huai was under the banner of cleaning up the official fields. He had a headache for this little prince Jiang Anyi. This was simply a troublemaker. From the strict building materials to the supervision of the Qingtian Department, to the follower of the Beijing trip, Jiang Anyi felt that King Luo Huai was like a plaster stuck to his body and could not be removed.
"Report to the prince, I have just sent off my colleagues from Qingtian Department. They are going to see each county." Jiang Anyi bowed and reported. A sarcasm flashed in Xu Guoxiang's eyes. At the beginning of the year, he told him how to deal with the court's inspection. The Qingtian Department's people could not find any problems in the government office and could not find any loopholes when they were below. As for those counties that did not move on weekdays, even if they were found, they had little to do with him.
Jiang Anyi continued: "All subordinates have left, and I am left with nothing to do. I want to go to Yulan County to pay homage to Mr. Han Wenzheng. If the prince has something to do, please let me go, and the subordinate will go."
Shi Chongren stood up and said, "Why can you speak without trust when Xiao Wang and Lord Jiang have an appointment in advance? Since Lord Jiang is free today, Xiao Wang will go to Yulan County with you and Luofeng Mountain will go to another day."
Hong Zhenyang and others were secretly shocked. They had heard that Jiang Anyi had a great honor, and they were even more shocking when they heard King Luo Huai's words. The dignified third prince actually held him. Restrained his surprise, Hong Zhen stood up and nodded at Jiang Anyi, and smiled and said, "You are going to arrange a car and prepare some worship supplies. Lord Jiang, please sit down."
As a killer, you must be well-versed in the news. Jiang Anyi lives in the Yin Hotel and is surrounded by soldiers. There are more than a dozen dragon guards in the museum, which can be regarded as iron walls. Zhang Zhongliang investigates several times that even the walls of the Yin Hotel are difficult to get in. Snakes have snakes, roads, rats have rats, and assassination is an old business. The knowledge in it is no less than the Four Books and Five Classics. From the mouth of the maids and servants, the maids have their own knowledge.
Zhongneng roughly knows the situation in the museum; from the things purchased every day, he can calculate how many people are eating; even from Ye Xianglang's dung buckets, he can find some clues; so many soldiers in the palace can also find useful news...
Today, the officials of the Qingtian Department were divided into six groups and went out to four counties to investigate the official fields of each county. After the news of the Dragon Guards accompanying him came out, many people felt that the opportunity had come. The egg was still the egg, and it seemed that the hole had been cracked. When the news of King Luo Huai going to Yulan County to pay homage to Han Wenzheng and Jiang Anyi's accompanying him came, Xiang Huaying, who had always been steadily and said: "This is God who wants Jiang Anyi to die. God is so will. Prepare the horses and let's go out of the city."
Eight carriages went out of the west gate and headed to the Han family in Yulan County under the escort of two hundred cavalrymen. The dust raised by so many horses was like a rolling yellow dragon, with great momentum. The pedestrians and horses on both sides of the official road quickly avoided it and waited for the horse team to pass by before they could whisper and talk.
Xiang Huaying was sitting in the carriage, and two companions followed Huang Long slowly. When they walked for more than ten miles, Xiang Huaying saw Lu Yuanchang, with strong bond flesh exposed on his upper body and carrying a worn bedding on his shoulders, like a farmer returning home. The carriage drove past Lu Yuanchang. Lu Yuanchang stopped and wiped his sweat. Xiang Huaying lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. The two of them showed their heads slightly and met.
Zhang Zhongliang rode a fast horse to Hanjiazhuang, Yulan County. He had already discovered the destination of Jiang Anyi's trip and was ready to make preparations in advance. Zhang Zhongliang was a lone thief, doing all kinds of business, and a killer could also make a guest appearance. After learning about the business of assassinating Jiang Anyi from a friend of Tianxing Sect, Zhang Zhongliang felt that the opportunity to become famous in the martial arts world was coming. He killed Jiang Anyi and had fame and fortune. If he lost his hand, he would die. Anyway, he would eat what he should eat and play in his life. He would be a hero again twenty years later.
There are convoys of carriages and horses transporting goods between Xiangning Prefecture and the county town, and occasionally people will be carried. From Xiangning Prefecture to Yulan County, there are ten cents of copper coins. Twelve people squeezed into the long carriage. The smell of sweat, powder and all kinds of indescribable smells floated in the car. If you want to lift the curtain to breathe, the dust will drill into your nostrils without hesitation.
Mrs. Zhang sat in the corner of the carriage, holding the basket in front of her with both hands, as restrained as a quail that was trembling.
Que, the aunt next to her was a warm and kept talking, and Zhang Wang answered like a countryman who had never seen the world.
The wind occasionally lifted the car cloak, revealing the scenery outside. Zhang Wangshi glanced quickly and found several familiar faces along the way. She is the gold medal killer of Xingyue Pavilion, and a good fighter has no great achievements. There are very few people in the world who know her. There is a rumor in the assassination world that has a powerful figure, "Bee Needle". She is vicious and accurate in her actions, but she doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman.
The aunt beside her was tired and she was dozing off her head bit by bit. Zhang Wang also closed her eyes and thought about her thoughts as the carriage rushes. The organization sent a message to her to assassinate Jiang Anyi. Thinking that Tianxing Sect actually revealed the business to Xingyue Sect and earned 10% of the transfer fee, Zhang Wang's mouth showed a sarcastic smile. Tianxing Sect was already disabled and was breathing. Sooner or later, it would be annexed by Xingyue Pavilion.
The carriage was not fast, and it would take at least an hour and a half to reach Yulan County. I guess it should have moved by then.
After getting the move, Zhang Wang leaned his head on the carport, thinking that he would not be afraid of having a meal, so he asked them to do it first. Jiang Anyi could hurt Hua Shengwei, and when they fought to the point where both sides were injured, he would just take action to pick the fruit.
The carriage left Xiangning Mansion for more than twenty miles away. There were continuous wilderness on both sides of the avenue. From time to time, you could see wild beasts appearing in the grass. Shi Chongren put down the curtain of the car and said boredly: "I wouldn't have taken the car if I had known it. I might even be able to shoot a few hares while riding a horse."
Zhuang Songwei said: "What if the son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. In the wilderness, what if the horse is shocked? Didn't Lord Jiang not ride a horse? The prince wants to hunt, so he will go there again the next day. This trip is a special trip to worship Han Wenzheng. It would be rude if he brought prey with him."
"Mr. What the sir said is right, but Xiao Wang is considering it." Shi Chongren said apologetically.
"Your Majesty, you haven't studied for a while. Lord Jiang is the top scholar and a famous cixian. Now you are free. You might as well take the opportunity to ask him for advice. It is rumored in the capital that you can get one or two advice from Lord Jiang, and the chance of getting the first pass will increase greatly. However, others can't even dream of finding such opportunities, but for you, you are at a loss for the prince. Although the prince does not need to participate in the imperial examination, he is naturally elegant and has a beautiful spirit in his studies. He learns history and knows success or failure to learn; he is very aspiring to learn poetry and is smart; he learns etiquette and shame to distinguish right from wrong..."
Zhuang Songwei seized the opportunity to persuade him. Shi Chongren leaned on the pillow and rubbed the green jade insect gourd in his sleeve. This gourd was given to him by Master Hong. The jade was delicate and gentle, and it was as smooth as grease when held in his hand. The gourd was taken out by a whole piece of beautiful jade. The gourd was engraved with landscape pictures on the gourd, which was made of a famous master. Shi Chongren was a person who knew the goods. This green jade gourd was worth more than a thousand taels.
Perhaps I heard of King Luo Huai’s return of the gift. This jade gourd was given by Hong Zhenyang in private. He told Shi Chongren that it was from Kunyun Mountain in Jiangzhou and was a local product. Everyone was happy when they gave it implicitly and knew how to collect it.
Seeing Shi Chongren's smile on his lips, Zhuang Songwei looked unconscious, and knew that what he had just said had become a wind in his ears, he sighed softly, shut up and stopped persuading each other.
The carriage became quiet, Shi Chongren said leisurely: "Sir, don't be too nervous. After eating all the delicacies in the mountains and seas in the past few days, Xiao Wang is a little tired of eating it. It's better to change the taste of vegetables and radishes. Didn't Mr. often advise Xiao Wang to see the world more often? He wants to see the clear sky, the wind, drizzle, and storm. Xiao Wang is so savory since he was a child, and some unhealthy winds and evil spirits cannot blow down Xiao Wang."
"Huh?" Zhuang Songwei didn't understand for a moment, and looked at Shi Chongren in confusion. After he came back to his memory, Luo Huai replied with a smiley look. Zhuang Songwei was silent and felt a little palpitation. This fourteen-year-old prince seemed to be teased by someone as a child, but in fact he played everyone in his palms while laughing. It's ridiculous that he had been with him for so many years, but he still couldn't tell the truth about the little prince. Could the children of the Tian family be born to be masters who play with people's hearts?
Thinking of the officials who have been around Luo Huai these days, Zhuang Songwei really doesn't know whether to laugh at them or sympathize with them. The little prince is extremely smart and will definitely not suffer any losses in the future. Zhuang Songwei was relieved and couldn't help but feel a little worried. The prince is now fighting with King Chu'an, and the little prince is still young and has not participated. When the little prince grows up in a few years, he will join in. What will happen in the court?
