The rebirth of the enchanting palace master

Chapter 56

Ji Wuying left Huashan, and first went to the South China branch of the Qisha Palace.As he expected, Xiang Tiannan was in the hall discussing matters with several Cao Gang elders.

Ji Wuying came suddenly, looked at Tiannan with a solemn expression, knowing that there must be something important, so he asked several elders to go to the back hall first to have some refreshments.

The elders looked at each other, got up to leave, and were about to leave, but Ji Wuying stopped him.

"Wait a few minutes."

The elders looked at each other, not knowing why.

Ji Wuying sized them up and asked, "I heard that the Cao Gang seized a batch of fine steel materials, is there such a thing?"

When the elders saw that the young man claimed to be my own palace, they thought he was the Lord of the Palace of the Seven Demons whom they hadn't seen for a long time, so they couldn't help staring at him blankly, and forgot to answer.

Xiang Tiannan answered: "There is indeed a matter, and this subordinate is discussing with them on this matter."

"Oh? So Tiannan also knows." Ji Wuying turned to look at Xiang Tiannan: "Then how did you discuss it?"

Xiang Tiannan replied: "The consignor of that batch of stainless steel lied about the quantity and weight, which caused the draft of the goods to be too deep after boarding the ship, and a ship hit a rock and sank. Afterwards, the consignor refused to come forward to negotiate compensation matters. We temporarily withheld all the remaining steel products. But yesterday, an old man claimed to be the owner of the goods and came to redeem the goods with a thousand taels of silver.

When Ji Wuying heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What does that old man look like?"

"About seventy years old, slightly lame, but hale and hearty, with a voice like a bell."

Sure enough, it was a wine demon, Ji Wuying wondered last night why only the old man was missing from the gathering of the three demons, it turned out that he came to make fine steel materials.

Ji Wuying motioned to Tian Nanping to retreat to the elders. After they left, Ji Wuying told Xiang Tiannan about the settlement between Qisha Palace and Huashan. Shadowless, his eyes are full of a compelling force.

Ji Wuying thought that Xiang Tiannan was going to question him, so she lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, thinking about how to answer, but Xiang Tiannan remained silent, just looked at Ji Wuying, and didn't ask anything.After a while, he let out a long sigh.

"I parted from the Palace Master that day, and my subordinate was worried, so I secretly followed the Palace Master for a while, and saw that the Palace Master and the man from Huashan seemed to have a good relationship. They went in and out together, and lived in the same room. This subordinate..." Xiang Tian Nan shook his head, didn't continue talking, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his dry throat.

"He and I..." Ji Wuying was about to speak, but was interrupted by raising his hand to Tiannan: "The palace master has grown up, and he should have his own sense of propriety, there is no need to explain to me, and there is no need to explain. Palace master Apart from telling me that the grievances between the two factions have been resolved, is there anything else to do when you come to the branch hall?"

When it came to business, Ji Wuying changed her embarrassing expression, and said seriously: "Since you left the valley to focus on business, many things have happened to me, and they have been involved in a lot. It all started when I became obsessed with practicing kung fu..."

Ji Wuying told Xiang Tiannan how she died, how she was reborn, how Huashan Lunjian met Zhuiying, and the forces and purposes behind the "Magic He" organization.

Xiang Tiannan was shocked and frowned frequently.

When Ji Wuying told the whole story, he felt relieved to be unburdened. He also picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Xiang Tiannan: "Although civil strife in the court is not our business, if the civil strife causes turmoil in the world , when the time comes, not only the common people will suffer, but the whole rivers and lakes will also be shaken, so we must nip the evil in the bud. Right, Tiannan."

Xiang Tiannan remained silent for a long time, as if digesting everything Ji Wuying said.

Ji Wuying didn't rush him, and just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Xiang Tiannan finally spoke.

"The palace lord means to let the prince know about this and let him take precautions early?"

Ji Wuying nodded: "Exactly, the Crown Prince should naturally resolve matters involving the royal family. I know that you have made friends with some officials, can you report to the Crown Prince through them? Actually, I have already asked my brother-in-law to contact the ministers of the court, but There is no news yet."

Looking at Ji Wuying's sad face, Xiang Tiannan patted him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, this kind of confidential matter can only be discussed in person in person with the crown prince. Let the subordinates introduce a friend to the palace lord."

It is night, the breeze is blowing, and the jade rabbit is bright and clean.Xiang Tiannan and Ji Wuying dressed as sons and came to a secluded garden.Xiang Tiannan showed a waist card to the guard at the gate, and the guard bent down to welcome the two of them in.

Ji Wuying looked around, but saw that the courtyard was full of green shade, beautiful trees were verdant, exotic flowers were in full bloom, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the air, making people daydream.Walking through the corridor, not far away, there is a vermilion lacquer door open, on which hangs a gold-rimmed golden nanmu plaque, engraved with four flamboyant characters "Drunk in Evening Sunshine and Flowers".

The candles in the room were flickering, and a figure was reflected on the window paper. The figure raised its arms lightly, following his movements, and the long piano sound flowed out slowly, beautiful and quiet, harmonious and far away.

Ji Wuying closed his eyes and felt for a while, and felt that this person played the piano well.

Xiang Tiannan and Ji Wuying entered the room, and saw a man sitting cross-legged in front of the couch, with a purple gold crown on his hair, on his forehead wearing two dragons grabbing gold to wipe his forehead, and wearing a gown embroidered with blue and brocade vines, with his head hanging down. , You can also feel a noble and unparalleled temperament.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man raised his head slightly, met Xiang Tiannan's eyes, and nodded in greeting.Then turned his gaze to Ji Wuying, stayed there for a while, then lowered his head and concentrated on playing.

At the end of the song, the man smoothed the strings and said "sit" slowly.

With just a single word, Ji Wuying has already seen that he is a person who is used to giving orders, and being able to make good friends with the crown prince, presumably his status is not low.

Xiang Tiannan sat down, introduced Ji Wuying to the man, and praised Ji Wuying's piano skills, which are hard to find in the world.

The man propped his chin with one hand, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were shining brightly.Hearing that the young man Xiang Tiannan brought could play the piano, he slightly bent his mouth, stood up and made way for Ji Wuying to show off his skills.

Ji Wuying didn't give up, sat in front of the piano, plucked the burning incense in the incense burner, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then supported the strings with her slender fingers, picking, breaking, pushing, belting, the movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water.

The rhythm of a song fluctuates and jumps, combining speed and slowness, there are ups and downs in the stability, and clarity is implied in the ups and downs.Different from the gentleness of the man just now, Ji Wuying's mood is like this jumping piano sound, which requires someone to draw a sword to cooperate.

The smile of the man listening to the piano gradually disappeared, his black eyes were like lightning, exuding the unshakable light of a king.

Ji Wuying was still playing to his heart's content, when the man suddenly stood up from his seat, pressed his palm on the guqin, and with a bang, all five strings snapped.

Seeing this, Xiang Tiannan was very nervous, he hurriedly pulled Ji Wuying behind him, cupped his fists at the man and said, "Ziyu, why is this?"

The man named Ziyu put a sullen face, turned Xiang Tiannan aside, looked straight at Ji Wuying, and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Ji Wuying likes the man's directness very much, no matter what kind of aggressive aura this man has, Ji Wuying has never been afraid of him.The so-called playing the piano is hard to find a bosom friend, the man in front of him only listens to half of the song and knows that he has something to ask for, so Boyazi expects nothing more than that.

Ji Wuying cut to the chase and said, "I want to see the prince."

Ziyu didn't expect this young man to look ignorant of the world, but the lion opened his mouth, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The prince lives deep in the East Palace, so it's not easy to see him."

Ji Wuying said with a firm expression: "This is a matter of great importance to the family and the country. If the prince cares about the common people, he will definitely meet me."

Ziyu looked Ji Wuying up and down again, and said: "Nowadays, all the common people in the world are under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the crown prince cannot exceed his authority. Since it is a major matter for the family and the country, why don't you face the saint?"

Ji Wuying had already thought about this question, and replied: "The palm of the hand is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh. Even if the emperor knows about this matter, he will not be able to decide. Moreover, the matter is currently being planned, how can the emperor trust me?"

Ziyu said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, why would the prince believe it?"

"Believe it or not, it depends on the prince's vision and judgment."

As soon as Ji Wuying finished speaking, Ziyu clapped his hands suddenly, laughed and said, "What an interesting young man, tell me, what do you want to tell the prince."

Ji Wuying looked at Gu Ziyu, frowned and said, "I will only talk about this matter if I see the crown prince in person. The current situation in the court is complicated, and I don't know which side you are on. How can I tell you?"

Hearing this, Ziyu laughed even more happily: "Of course I am on the prince's side. Fortunately, I met Xiang Tiannan, otherwise I would have missed meeting you. There are so many righteous people in the world. No wonder my second brother likes to deal with people in the martial arts."

Ji Wuying gave a "hmm" to express her agreement.

Seeing that Ji Wuying was tight-lipped and refused to reveal a single word, Ziyu gave Xiang Tiannan a wink.

Xiang Tiannan coughed and said to Ji Wuying, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Wuying froze for a moment, looked at Ziyu in disbelief, and examined him little by little.

Ji Wuying's disrespectful appearance logically violated the authority of the royal family, but Ziyu didn't care about it. Since he pretended to go out casually, he left his identity in the deep palace.In fact, some rumors had spread to him a few days ago, and he didn't believe it at first, but later he sent someone to secretly investigate and report back, saying that the second prince had indeed changed, and he realized the potential crisis.

There are a group of talented people around the second prince, the prince will naturally use his own way to return his body, and also began to secretly recruit capable people and strangers, Xiang Tiannan is one of them.

Ziyu met Ji Wuying's questioning gaze, and asked with a smile, "Why, this king doesn't look like a prince?"

"You can't judge by appearance, but since Tiannan says you are the prince, let me believe it." Ji Wuying said helplessly.

"Hahaha, if you hadn't told me in secret, this king would really punish you for your disrespect."

After confirming Ziyu's status as the prince, Ji Wuying told Ziyu everything she knew.

Ziyu didn't know that there was such a big conspiracy behind the second prince, and he was shocked at the moment.Originally thought that the second brother was just playing a small fight, but it turned out that he disregarded the friendship of his compatriots and wanted to fight for this beautiful country.Fortunately, Ji Wuying came to report, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ziyu clenched his fists when he knew about "Magic He"'s treasure-digging plan.After thinking about it for a while, he took a piece of white jade paper and wrote an order on it.

"Ji Wuying, although this king has no military power for the time being, there are a group of secret guards under his tent. With this order, you can dispatch them at will. It is inconvenient for this king to leave the palace, so you will guard the batch of weapons on behalf of this king. The second brother has objections. I mean, after getting the exact evidence, I will tell my father, and when this matter is over, this king will definitely reward you."

Ji Wuying received the order, feeling a heavy responsibility, holding the white jade paper tightly, and said with pride: "As long as Huashan is here, the military equipment will be kept intact."

Ziyu held Ji Wuying's shoulder and squeezed it heavily: "I heard from Xiang Tiannan that the Qisha Palace and Huashan have had enmity for generations, and now, you are willing to give up your hatred and help Huashan for the sake of the stability of the royal family. Admirable."

In a word, Ji Wuying Jun blushed when he said it.If the prince knew that Huashan and Qisha Palace had become a family, he didn't know what to think.However, both public and private, Ji Wuying should do her best to keep her family and country peaceful.
