Chapter 406: Cai Xiang, believe it or not, I am as surprised as you are
Bang, duang, ding, bang...
A lot of onomatopoeia can no longer explain the angry Song Huizong at this time, but as ministers of the Song Dynasty, it is understandable. After all, who can bear to wake up in the morning and lose his wife at home?
"Didn't you all claim to be well-informed before? Why don't you talk now? I usually feed you for free?"
In the midst of Song Huizong's incompetent rage, a group of courtiers would cast their gazes on Cai Jing from time to time, hoping to get some hints or answers from him, but this was doomed to be in vain.
Cai Xiang, who used to hold his head high and his chest high, now lowered his head and closed his eyes as if he was deaf.
Song Huizong finally calmed down after venting his anger. He glanced around and landed on the three commanders of the Forbidden Army.
In the Song Dynasty, the supreme commander of the imperial army was the emperor himself, followed by three generals who were not subordinate to each other and were responsible for different duties.
"I know that you have always been secretly protecting me. What did you see last night?"
Two of them slowly turned their heads to look at the person in the middle. It was he who was responsible for sending people to protect the emperor last night. This person was originally the instructor of the Forbidden Army, his surname was Gu, and he was good at using guns and sticks. Yes, it was Lin Chong's previous position. However, Gu
The general knew better than Lin Chong how to communicate and please his superiors, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the position of commander of the Forbidden Army.
General Gu, who had been proudly calling Five and Six, now wanted to tear off the heads of his colleagues. Of course he knew where Master Li had gone, but he didn't dare to say it!
Speaking of which, since he was born in the military and was Lin Chong's successor, he was naturally an old acquaintance with Lin Chong. Speaking of which, there was still a bit of Lin Chong's shadow in his own kung fu.
Lin Chong is ignorant of people, so he has his "best friend" Lu Qian, and so he has General Gu who "experiments with each other in martial arts".
Although General Gu doesn't think much of Lin Chong, he has also met Zhou Tong, who is a master at the level of the Earth Ranking. He can sense whether you are malicious just by relying on his spiritual sense. He doesn't dare to show his little intentions in front of others.
Play.
And last night, he saw Zhou Tong and Li Yuanfang taking away Master Li. Which of the two could he afford to offend?
You, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, are awesome, but you are an envoy of the Qin Dynasty and a master of the local rankings, who cares about you!
General Gu felt uncomfortable and glanced at Cai Jing for help. He found Prime Minister Cai immediately after discovering the problem last night. After all, he did not dare to make any independent decisions on this matter.
Cai Jing seemed to sense his request for help, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Recently, many strangers have come to Bianjing. I'm afraid things are not that simple. What's more, there are many rebels colluding with the Qing army. Your Majesty and Shishi
The girl’s relationship is not a secret. I’m afraid there are thieves who want to kidnap Miss Shishi to threaten Your Majesty. Now the soldiers of the border army are fighting bloody battles. Your Majesty must not mess up your position and give those rebels an opportunity to take advantage of it!”
The anger on Song Huizong's face was still there, and he was about to smash the dragon chair to pieces, "You traitor and traitor! Didn't we already send troops to suppress the bandits? Why did we let the thieves enter the capital instead!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was precisely because the rebels could not withstand the encirclement and suppression that they came up with this strategy to threaten Your Majesty!"
When Song Huizong heard this, he felt that it made sense and sighed, "I am the one who has caused Shishi to be implicated. From now on, Cai Qing will be fully responsible for this matter and must bring Shishi back!"
"Yes!"×n
After leaving the main hall, a crowd of people shouted and surrounded Cai Jing. Among the crowd, there was even Gongsun Sheng quietly following him. He was actually startled.
At that time, his first reaction after learning about this incident was, Damn it! Master Li is missing, so is my conspiracy exposed?
At this time, Cai Jing didn't say much, he just waved his hand to let the group of people disperse, and he himself left the palace and went straight to Honglu Temple.
Originally, he really didn't want to go, so it would be good to let the envoy of Da Qin stay there. But why did Li Yuanfang act like this? He didn't do this in provocation. He stole the emperor's woman, or steal it secretly. Are you shameless?
…
Zuo Zhou let out a long yawn. He came back a little late last night. Zhan Shiqi was obviously a little sore when he saw that he had brought back a beautiful woman, so he struggled for most of the night before he fell asleep contentedly. It's a pity that he still had to come out to greet her.
Come on Cai Jing, men are miserable.
"General, that... that young man last night..."
Jiang Yuyan was very considerate and gave her a cup of tea. Of course she was talking about Master Li, but Master Li was dressed in men's clothing last night, so naturally she wouldn't say much to reveal anything.
No one may believe it. Except for Zuo Zhou and Zhou Tong, among all the people in Honglu Temple, she was the one with the sharpest spiritual sense. She was the first to notice that Zuo Zhou and Zhou Tong were back. So last night was also her first time.
One came out to greet the two, and was the first to see Master Li.
How should I put it? Jiang Yuyan felt that this woman was very threatening when she first saw her. She had also been in a brothel and she could almost see the details of the beautiful woman in front of her at a glance. Huh, she is a coquettish bitch who knows how to seduce people!
But soon she felt relieved again. When she decided to start rolling up like crazy, she discovered that Master Li didn't have any bad thoughts about Li Yuanfang. Well, at least not now, so it was Zhan Shiqi who should be worried.
"Oh, Master, my disciple." Zuo Zhou took a casual sip of tea, only to find that wolfberry was added to it!
What do you mean? You imply that I can't do it? Do you believe it or not? I will stab you with a stick and bleed!
disciple?
Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, why didn't she think of it? Although the maid can always be by her side, she is not as close as the master and apprentice. And if they really become master and apprentice and then teach martial arts hand in hand and face to face, no one can say anything.
Damn, what a smart bitch!
The threat that Li Shishi just dropped has increased again!
Zuo Zhou didn't expect that his disciple was already worried about Jiang Yuyan at this time. He just put the tea bowl aside and said, "Yuyan, Cai Jing should be here soon, so this person doesn't need to serve tea."
Jiang Yuyan nodded and put away the tea bowl she had prepared. She was always paying attention to Li Yuanfang. In the entire Song Dynasty, except for the one named Song Ci, there was probably no one worthy of his special attention. Then naturally she wouldn't care about anything, let alone a prime minister, it was Song Dynasty.
When Huizong came, she still treated him coldly.
Things were pretty much as Zuo Zhou expected. After the morning court time, someone soon reported that Cai Jing was here.
"Oh, isn't this Prime Minister Cai? You are a traitorous minister. I have admired your name for a long time. I have admired your name for a long time!"
Cai Jing: "..."
Zuo Zhou was very enthusiastic. Before Cai Jing could say anything, he was carried into the living room by him. Those who didn't know it thought that this was not Honglu Temple but the backyard of his home.
Cai Jing suddenly felt a little at a loss when he took his seat. He used to take the initiative when meeting anyone, but now he didn't know what to say when facing Li Yuanfang.
After thinking for a while, he said: "The envoy should have been warmly entertained when he came from afar. Unfortunately, the Qing army has been approaching recently, the rebels are raging, and your majesty is busy with state affairs. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting the envoy."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I understand, I understand, no one understands how attractive beautiful women are better than me. You see, I have so many confidantes. Every day I wish I could die drunk in the gentle countryside."
"..." Cai Jing sneered, his face was very cooperative, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all. With your age and cultivation level, I'm afraid you wish you had a few more hours to practice every day, and also indulge in beauty?
Zuo Zhou had no idea that he had been misunderstood. He just smiled and waited for Cai Jing to continue to perform.
Cai Jing gave up the idea of beating around the bush a little boringly. He had forgotten that this person in front of him dared to confront the Emperor of Qin and other ministers in the Qin Dynasty. How could he abide by the rules of the Song Dynasty?
"This time I am here to serve as my teacher. Your Majesty misses her very much."
Zuo Zhou's face turned serious, "What's wrong? Cai Xiang thinks I stole Master Li!"
Cai Jing's face trembled. Do you dare to say it's not you? "I heard that many rebels wanted to use the teacher's girl to threaten His Majesty. Thanks to the general, he came to the rescue."
Zuo Zhou immediately rolled his eyes, feeling a little discouraged. He had already thought of all the reasons for you, but he was so stunned that he couldn't express himself. It was boring!
"Let me tell you first, I'm not robbing you!"
Cai Jing is also a little angry. Why don't you admit it yet? You have to fall out. If you dare to act rogue, I will pretend that nothing happened!
"She is indeed here with me, but she has to follow her. Whether she wants to go back or not is her own problem."
Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, just admit it, "The general is joking, who doesn't know that the master belongs to your majesty..."
"Everyone knows that it is right? Everyone knows that the emperor of Tang Dynasty's surname is Li, so am I also qualified to inherit the throne?"
"..." Why is such a freshman general still so messy?
"Xiang Cai, long time no see. How are you?"
Just at this moment, a soft voice sounded from behind. Cai Jing had met Li Shishi. When he heard it, he knew that the real master was here. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Haha, who can refuse glory and wealth?
"Miss Shishi, Your Majesty is very concerned about you..."
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment. He had seen big events before, but he was amazed by Master Li's current dress. In the past, Master Li looked like an orchid in an empty valley with a gauze skirt and shawl. When he wore light makeup, he was as gorgeous as an orchid in an empty valley. But he had never seen it before.
If you look at Mr. Li's men's attire, you can see how he is chic, suave and graceful. Although his skin is like cream and his body is petite, he still looks like a woman, but it makes people feel the urge to expose him.
Well, if His Majesty sees this, I'm afraid he will be excited for a long time!
Master Li nodded slightly, clasped his hands into his fists, and said with a Jianghu air, "Please report back to Your Majesty, there is no Master Li in the world."
Cai Jing smiled bitterly, what's the matter? "Why did the girl say this?"
Zuo Zhou was happy and stopped in front of her, "Everyone said there is no such person anymore, why don't you search for him?"
Cai Jing was silent, he was telling lies with his eyes open, but he heard a firm voice coming from behind Zuo Zhou, "Master Li is not me, not my last name, not my first name, not everything else, there has never been such a person as Master Li in the world.
.”
Cai Jing frowned and looked at Li Yuanfang's eagerness to try. Is this... waiting for me to find trouble?
"This...who is this little brother from the mission?"
Zuo Zhou was unhappy, "I can bear this...ahem, okay, you...tell Mr. Cai who you are?"
