Restaurants and brothels are the busiest. There are countless stalls and vendors, and their cries can be heard everywhere.
The streets are crowded with people, men and women, old and young, all enjoying this sleepless night.
Yang Lue and He Cong were also among the crowd.
"Langjun lives not far outside the imperial city, but there are people from Qingsi guarding the area, and there are also some sergeants." He Conggang went to inquire about the news.
"Have you found out the reason for your mission?" Yang Lue asked.
"I heard about it, and they said that the Southern Zhou Dynasty secretly supported the rebels in southern Xinjiang."
"It's a common thing. We sent an envoy for this purpose. It shows that the person is crazy."
"If it were in the past, the army should be hoarding at the Southern Zhou border. If they didn't give an explanation, they would just attack in."
It won't beep if you can do it.
This was the style of the Tang Dynasty in the past.
But now things have obviously changed a lot.
Yang Lue said coldly: "You son of a bitch is still a son of a bitch. I pretended to be kind in front of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty said that this kid is very scheming and lacks Huanghuang's aura."
He Cong sighed: "Your Majesty's eyes are like lightning."
The two of them turned around and saw the imperial city in front of them.
"It should be coming out." He Cong said.
While talking, the group of people left the imperial city.
"It's Mr. Lang!" He Cong whispered: "The one next to you should be the deputy envoy."
Yang Lue only saw Yang Xuan on horseback in the restaurant. He looked at him carefully and said happily: "He's taller and stronger."
He Cong smiled and said, "Yiniang is good at cooking."
Yang Lue's eyelids twitched, "She still looks like that?"
He Cong nodded.
Yang Lue asked: "What did she call me?"
Well!
He Cong smiled dryly.
Yang Lue scolded: "That naughty woman!"
Yi Niang mentioned that Yang Lue was an old dog, and He Cong wanted to laugh just thinking about it.
Yang Lue stared at the opposite side, "Keep a closer look."
"General, you..."
"I'm going to go in and have a look."
"Danger."
"If you are discovered, we will kill you at worst."
Yang Lue pointed to the bustling scene beside him and said with a ferocious smile: "If Lovers doesn't care about the casualties of those people, I will accompany you and turn Bianjing into a Shura field."
Yang Xuan returned to his station.
"Clean up the surrounding area."
As soon as he entered the house, he gave the order.
Wu Da accepted the order, and the old thief said: "I will take you and wait!"
Yang Xuan, Qin Jian and others entered the lobby.
Everyone remained silent.
Listening to the footsteps outside walking around.
"There's someone here!"
"Get out!"
"You damn girl, you can become invisible? You old thief!"
"Light a fire, add oil, and burn these shameless wandering souls to death!"
The spies hiding in the dark were cleared out.
"I'm here to help."
The old thief said coldly: "The envoy is in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If you come to help without saying hello to the master, where is your face?"
The first warning for diplomats entering the job: Shameless!
The spies left in despair, and there were two of them outside the lobby.
"Like a dog, you can still hide. If the old thief hadn't lit a torch and walked over, you really wouldn't have been able to find it." Zhang Ruo came in.
Qin Jian asked in surprise: "Is it almost invisible?"
Yang Xuan said: "Just get some clothes and makeup that are close to the surrounding environment. What if you can really become invisible?"
"It can be considered a means, so be careful in the future." Cheng Ran stroked his beard, "This means...has many uses!"
Everyone looked at each other.
They all smiled ambiguously.
What is the first thing a man wants to do when he becomes invisible?
A bunch of old snakeskins!
The old thief came in and nodded, indicating that he was safe.
Yang Xuan tapped the case with his fingers, and when everyone looked over, he said: "Today, Southern Zhou's carefully prepared method failed, and the emperor and his ministers lost all face. Taking advantage of his illness, he took his life, Lao Qin."
"exist!"
This was the clearest voice Qin Jian had ever heard.
If Lang Jun works harder, he can subdue Qin Jian, and he will have his own people in the Ministry of Rites in the future... The old thief sat down, feeling that his great cause was no longer out of reach.
When the time comes, should I go back to being an ordinary Sanniang, or should I go find a beautiful lady?
The old thief touched his waist with his backhand, thinking that he had to take good care of himself, or... go back to northern Xinjiang and get some rejuvenation pills to replenish his body? Or the human-shaped seahorse that Lang Jun said would be good.
Yang Xuan said: "Go find Fei Luo tomorrow morning."
"Scolding? This old man is familiar with this." Qin Jian was full of confidence, as if he were a top expert.
Cheng Ran smiled and said: "It's okay to use power to bully others and even curse."
Potential is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it actually exists.
The carefully prepared means backfired on him, and the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Southern Zhou were dealt a heavy blow. Next, they had to watch the performance of the Tang Dynasty envoy.
"Be polite and polite," Yang Xuan warned.
Qin Jian smiled and said, "Just make me feel at ease."
Yang Xuan nodded.
Qin Jian added: "Officials in charge of foreign affairs in the Ministry of Rites have all consulted women in the market."
Yang Xuan: "..."
Zhang Ruo couldn't hide his curiosity, "May I ask Deputy Qin, what do you want me to ask you?"
"quarrel!"
…
After a while, everyone left.
When everyone went out, they saw Wang Laoer eating dried meat outside the door.
Qin Jian said kindly, "Just eat. If you don't have enough, I will go back and buy some."
Cheng Ran said: "Exactly, there is still more money left, so I will buy some dried meat tomorrow."
Wang Laoer looked up at them.
Eyes of surprise.
This is silly.
Everyone laughed.
Wang Laoer asked: "Can I buy the head?"
Qin Jian: "..."
"It's the heads of the enemy."
We were on an envoy all the way, and we had to avoid the areas where the rebels were entrenched on the way back. Where was the chance to kill the enemy?
Qin Jian said cheerfully: "How much does one cost?"
"Ten dollars."
"Too little, I'll give you twenty dollars."
"Keep your word?"
"Everyone is listening!"
"Okay, that's settled."
Qin Jian smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled."
He went back with his hands behind his back and muttered: "Twenty coins are already missing, ten coins, what a conscience!"
Yang Xuan was in the lobby thinking about what to do next, and returned to the bedroom later.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Yang Xuan felt a sharp chill down his spine, but it was not the feeling of a crisis.
"Mr. Lang!"
A familiar voice came from the corner.
"Yang Lue!"
Yang Lue walked out of the corner, looked at Yang Xuan carefully, then suddenly knelt down and said, "I have met Lang Jun."
"Get up." Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to help him.
The two had been separated for a long time, and it was a bit sad to see each other again.
"Where did the mirror chase you that time?"
"I threw him away that day, and then we chased him all the way to the border of Southern Zhou Dynasty."
Yang Lue's face was more weathered and wrinkled.
"How is Mr. Lang doing now?"
"This time in Chang'an, I left my concubine, brother and sister alone."
"Well done!" Yang Lue said sarcastically: "That woman is an ominous person, so stay away."
"This mission is a rare opportunity, but I don't know why it's my turn."
Yang Xuan was really puzzled by this matter.
Yang Lue said faintly: "Lang Jun, your Majesty's methods are unpredictable. Maybe there are other people left for Lang Jun. They are the ones who will help you this time."
"Then why don't you know?"
Yang Xuan also has a big problem: Since his methods are unpredictable, why was he killed by a glass of poisonous wine in the first place? You should at least struggle and resist!
Yang Lue whispered: "Many times, the best way to keep secret is not to know. Those people exist alone. If they say that Lang Jun is of His Majesty's blood, someone must believe it."
He looked at the young man in front of him who he had raised with complicated eyes, "The false emperor came to power and has been cleaning up the people of Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu, but the most important thing is to clean up the people of His Majesty. If one of them speaks, Your Majesty
All the arrangements will be ruined."
"Who could be there?"
"I don't know that there may be someone in the palace. The left prime minister in the court is the biological father of the Crown Princess. However, Zuo Xiang has been impartial for many years and has not been included in the lineage of the majesty. Therefore, in the subsequent cleanup, in the face of the reputation of the left prime minister,
It’s not easy for a false emperor to attack."
"In other words, the left prime minister didn't move closer to His Majesty because his daughter was the Crown Princess... to move closer to Aye?"
You finally changed your mind... Yang Lue said happily: "Yes. The left prime minister has never had a position."
Riding the fence!
Yang Xuan has always been puzzled as to why wise men like Left Prime Minister Chen Shen were not liquidated, but now he finally understands.
It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that he's too smart and doesn't take sides.
Even if it's his son-in-law's team, he won't stand.
Coupled with his sophisticated tactics, the pseudo-emperor was unable to do anything.
"Mr. Lang, I have thought about some little ladies for you here..."
For Yang Xuan's marriage, Yang Lue racked his brains and was very worried.
"This...that's not necessary."
"Mr. Lang is not young anymore."
"I have it."
"..."
When Yang Xuan saw Yang Lue's confusion, he knew that Yi Niang had not told him about this, or that Hayabusa had not been in contact with her recently.
"Who?" Yang Lue looked serious, "The husband's marriage is of great importance. There is no question of supporting or not. The woman must be virtuous and generous, and she must have means. Both of them are indispensable!"
If you don’t have means, you can’t control the harem; if you’re not virtuous enough, you can’t be a mother to the world!
"Daughter of the Zhou family."
Yang Lue was startled, "Zhou family?"
"right."
"Back then, the Zhou family and the Yang family were in the same group, and they were all dissatisfied with Your Majesty."
But now His Majesty's son is going to marry a daughter of the Zhou family. This is so damn...
A sense of absurdity made Yang Lue feel that time and space were reversed, "But a side branch?"
"The direct daughter of the head of the family."
oh!
Yang Lue put his hand to his forehead and said, "This is a bad debt."
But then he smiled again and said, "If your Majesty is alive in heaven, he will probably burst into laughter when he learns about this."
You are dissatisfied, but now you marry your legitimate daughter to my son, hahahaha!
He asked curiously: "My husband has a poor background, why is Mr. Zhou willing to marry a girl?"
This matter...it's a long story!
Yang Xuan said: "Zhou's daughter is an assistant teacher at the Imperial College."
"When Lang Jun entered the Imperial College to study, these... teaching assistants and students?"
"That's right."
How could Lang Jun, who was such an honest person back then, become so...so liberal after leaving Yuanzhou? Yang Lue looked complicated, "Lang Jun is very capable."
Yang Lue was concerned about one last question, "What are the methods of Zhou's daughter? If successful, might the harem be suppressed?"
Yang Xuan said calmly: "I'm more worried about those women."
In a bag next to the bed, there were several good medicines, ranging from diarrhea to poison.
"Yang Lue, how are you now?"
"I have gathered hundreds of young men here and train them every day. Now I let them out to plunder everywhere, which is causing a headache to the Southern Zhou people."
"Is it dangerous?"
"We have been surrounded and suppressed several times, but the plundering areas were far away from the base, so they were not discovered."
"Be careful."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang."
Yang Xuan looked at him, "How about you come back with me this time!"
Yang Lue was silent for a moment, "I think so, but the people on the mirror can recognize me."
"Let him be disfigured." Suzaku listened for a long time before coming up with this suggestion.
"I'm not afraid of this." Yang Xuan said, "There are spies in Northern Xinjiang, but most of them are in Tao County, and there are not enough in Chenzhou."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Years of being on the run have made Yang Lue a lot more cautious.
The two were silent for a long time, and Yang Lue said: "Lang Jun has already made a name for himself. I think it would be better to stay in Northern Xinjiang."
"I know." Yang Xuan had already made a plan, "Northern Xinjiang is my foundation."
"Taiping, Chenzhou, Northern Xinjiang... If Lang Jun can ascend to Taoxian County and raise his voice, he will be able to achieve a great cause of rebellion."
Yang Lue couldn't stay long, so he stood up and left.
"There are undercurrents surging within Southern Zhou Dynasty. Lang Jun must be careful not to be taken advantage of by people on both sides."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Is there any trouble outside?"
"There are some spies and sergeants, but I can avoid them."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Yang Xuan walked out and said, "Old thief."
The old thief was still awake, so he came out and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Lang?"
Wang Laoer didn't sleep either. Seeing his belt hanging down, he laughed and said, "Old thief, are you washing your crotch?"
The old thief cursed: "Wash the birds!"
Yang Xuan said: "The secret spies and sergeants outside are too leisurely."
The old thief understood it and said, "Young man, go right away." He waved his hand, "Second brother, you are just right for this job."
The two of them left the house.
A spy crouched to the side, talking to two sergeants.
Wang Laoer peed when he came out.
There was a pitter-pattering sound, and the sergeant got angry, "Why don't you go to the toilet?"
Wang Laoer scolded: "The toilet is full! Why, you can't pee?"
"Boy, don't get angry!" the old thief came to advise.
Wang Laoer went up and slapped the spy. The sergeant dodged and slapped the spy firmly on the face.
"Ouch!"
"Hit someone!" the old thief shouted.
The surrounding sergeants and spies swarmed in.
"What's going on? Are you going to start a group fight?" Wang Laoer was not afraid. He shouted like crazy when people came: "Come, the one who doesn't come is my grandson!"
In the house, Yang Xuan and Yang Lue stood side by side.
"Yang Lue, when will you go back?"
"Whenever the husband returns, I will return."
"Be careful."
"yes!"
Yang Lue's figure disappeared at an astonishing speed.
It's still very lively outside.
He quickly blended into the crowd.
Outside a restaurant, He Cong was waiting for him.
"how?"
"I met Mr. Lang."
The two walked slowly, talking about Yang Xuan in the house amidst the bustling scene.
"General, what do you think of your husband?"
"The dragon and the phoenix are worthy of His Majesty's bloodline."
"Then our great cause..."
"It will happen!"
…
Yang Xuan was quite happy after not seeing Yang Lue for a long time. Wang Laoer came back from a fight outside and said he was hungry.
When he shouted that he was hungry, even Qin Jian and others couldn't sleep.
"I didn't eat enough before."
"Yes! I'm not full either. Is there anything in the kitchen?"
Everyone went to the kitchen to take a look, and found half a piece of sheep lying there. This was for tomorrow morning.
"Who can do it?"
Qin Jian asked.
Everyone shook their heads, Cheng Ran said: "How about cooking it and eating it?"
“Let’s make some noodles!”
Yang Xuan took action, "Someone, come and get some mutton and some bones."
"Make a fire!"
This guy Wang Laoer is familiar with.
Throwing the mutton bones into the pot, Yang Xuan didn't bother, skimmed off the foam, and then threw the meat in to cook.
Then make the dough.
Cover the dough for a while.
At this moment, the aroma of mutton spreads in the kitchen.
Knead the dough for a while, cut it, stretch it, stretch it again...
Qin Jian's eyes were dizzy as he watched Yang Xuan stretch the noodles into long strips and fold them in half many times.
Throw the noodles directly into the pot and cook them, including the soup and water.
"Try it."
With one bowl per person, we squatted inside and outside the kitchen and started cooking.
Qin Jian just took a bite and his eyes lit up.
“Tastes great!”
Yang Xuan also got a bowl and ate it happily.
"The ambassador's cooking skills are so amazing?"
"It's because I had a hard time in the past, maybe it's because I developed my cooking skills back then."
"But your life was not easy back then, so why did you become so fat?"
"Can you speak?"
"How?"
"Damn it!"
There was also a small conflict within the mission over a bowl of braised noodles.
Have a good night's sleep.
Yang Xuan has nothing to do today.
After breakfast, Qin Jian dressed up and took his people to look for Fei Luo.
"Remember, be polite and polite," Yang Xuan warned.
"Don't worry." Qin Jian was full of confidence.
More than half an hour later.
Qin Jian came back with scratches all over his face.
