Perhaps because of the draft, Emperor Ning felt he owed Concubine Jin, so he agreed to Concubine Jin's request without hesitation, even though the request was a bit unacceptable.
Emperor Ning was afraid that Yun Shang would suffer a loss at the border, so he gave a small group of secret guards to follow Yun Shang and obey his orders. He also gave him an imperial edict, a gold medal, and the Holy Intention Sword to kill first and then play. When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion
, Yun Shang was still surprised. Although she knew that Concubine Jin had agreed, there should be no problem, but she never expected that the imperial edict would come so quickly.
Looking at the astonished look of the manager, Yun Shang thought that if he delayed for a long time and let Prince Jing know about it, something would happen again, so he hurriedly asked Qian Yin to pack his things, and early the next morning, he
Taking the people on the road.
It was inconvenient for women to walk outside, so Yun Shang changed into men's clothes again, and the group arrived outside Kangyang City in ten days.
Kangyang City seemed not to be affected by the war at all. The people in the city still looked leisurely. The streets were bustling with people and seemed to be very prosperous. Yun Shang couldn't help but frowned, feeling that there was a little bit of emotion in this scene.
weird.
Yun Shang left the secret guards outside the city and entered Kangyang City. However, he did not go directly to Qi Mansion. He just found a restaurant that looked prosperous and lively and walked in.
There were no more private rooms in the restaurant, so Yun Shang sat down in the lobby on the second floor. After ordering some dishes, Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at the waiter, and said with a smile, "Brother, we are from the south.
I came from Xicheng. I originally heard that there was a war in Kangyang, so I wanted to come and see if my family's business in Kangyang was affected, but why does it not look like a war at all?"
Nanxi City was a relatively prosperous city in Ning Kingdom. Yun Shang was afraid that saying that he came from the imperial city would attract the attention of others, so he fabricated it at will.
The waiter in the shop chuckled and said, "Master, you don't know this, right? We originally thought that if this war started, we would have to close the door, but we didn't expect that, hehe, I'm afraid that the people of the Xia Kingdom are afraid of our General Qi's reputation.
, it has been more than a month, and the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom only dare to camp dozens of miles away, and only occasionally send people to have a look. They are just like cowardly turtles, not daring to come at all. I look at this battle.
Ah, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight. Our General Qi is a veteran of Ning Guo, so he is very powerful in fighting. I'm afraid he can't make more concessions than Prince Jing."
Yun Shang's hands were lightly looking at the table, and she was chatting with the waiter with a smile on her face, "Really? Then I was worried for nothing. It seems that with General Qi sitting in charge, our Kangyang will definitely be safe."
of."
He casually took two taels of silver and sent the waiter away, but Yun Shang frowned. The leader of the Xia Kingdom was the Crown Prince of Xia, and the military advisor was Liu Yinfeng. If Yun Shang didn't know the situation of the generals on both sides, I'm afraid the waiter
She would believe it if she heard it like this. However, after hearing Prince Jing talk about it before, she went to look for some information and look at it. Now when she heard the waiter say this, the doubts in her heart became more intense.
.
"Sir, is General Qi really so powerful?" Qianyin, also wearing an entourage uniform, stared at Yunshang with bright eyes.
Yun Shang laughed coldly, "Yeah, awesome, so arrogant." Even the people of Kangyang admired him very much and almost believed in him completely.
While waiting for the food to be served, Yun Shang carefully speculated on Liu Yinfeng's thoughts. Liu Yinfeng's actions probably had at least two purposes. One was to put people in the other two cities on alert, so as to
It consumed the endurance of the other two city soldiers; the other made Qi Lang feel that Xia State was afraid of him and did not dare to attack, so he became even more arrogant, waiting for Qi Lang to relax his vigilance, and then attacked unexpectedly.
Let Qi Lang be hard to guard against.
Yun Shang tapped the table lightly, and suddenly heard the noise coming from downstairs, "What did you say? There are no private rooms? I, Qi Yuzhi, want a private room, do I need to book it in advance? Call your shopkeeper, I will
I want to know when did there still be such a rule?"
"Mr. Qi, calm down your anger. I'll ask someone to ask you. I'll ask someone to clear a room. You'll wait... I'll prepare some tea for you." This was followed by the shopkeeper's obsequious voice.
Qi Yuzhi...
Yun Shang's eyebrows moved, and she turned to look downstairs. She saw a weak-headed young man standing downstairs, wearing a purple shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand. His appearance could barely be considered handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of flamboyance.
There was a hint of disdain in the shopkeeper's eyes.
Qi Yuzhi, the third son of Qi Lang, is twenty-one this year and has not yet married. However, he has more than twenty concubines at home. He has a domineering personality and is considered a tyrant in Kangyang. He often causes trouble in the city, just because
His father is Qi Lang, but not many people dare to offend him.
Yun Shang saw the waiter hurriedly go upstairs, knocking on the door of each private room, and went in to inquire. After a while, someone from a private room came out, but his face looked a little unhappy.
Qi Yuzhi was welcomed into the private room by the shopkeeper.
"Tch, isn't it just because I have a father who is a general? Why, the shopkeeper, I asked you if you had a private room, and you said no, why did Qi Yu just ask and there was one?" Downstairs hall
Among them, a voice sounded.
Yun Shang glanced lightly and saw a man in brocade clothes with a somewhat bad look on his face. The shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and said, "Master Li, please forgive me, but there is really no other way. We can't bear it if Third Master Qi gets angry."
ah."
Yun Shang's food was also served, and Yun Shang stopped looking at it. While eating, she observed the faces and expressions of the people in the restaurant. However, she saw a woman with a veil on her face walking in with Qin in her arms.
She didn't see her face, but her figure was very graceful. Yun Shang saw her raise her eyes and look upstairs, and there was a bit of charm in her eyes.
As soon as the woman entered the restaurant, she attracted the attention of many people. Yun Shang heard the joking voice of the man in brocade clothes downstairs, "Hey, this woman is quite good. Look at her figure and eyebrows. She must be a stunning beauty.
, Beauty, you are here to play the piano, how about playing "Eighteen Touches" for your brother?"
There was a roar of laughter, but the woman glanced at the man with a smile, and then walked to the stairs with Qin in her arms. The people at the table of the man in brocade cheered, "Brother Li, you are not charming enough. This beauty
My son actually ignored you."
The man in brocade clothes stiffened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He stood up, grabbed the woman, and said coldly, "I called you, didn't you hear me?"
The woman paused in her steps, turned around and saluted the young master in brocade clothes, "Sir, someone has invited a slave to come over and play the piano. Please don't make it difficult for me to be a slave."
The voice was somewhat soft and charming, and it penetrated deeply into the bones.
The young master surnamed Li snorted coldly, "Who invited you? I'll pay you double the price. Come and talk to me about a song."
"Master, this hall is very noisy. Even if the slave plays the piano, I'm afraid I can't hear you clearly. If the master likes the slave, come to Yaoyue Pavilion to find the slave. The slave has to go up." The woman said and was about to go upstairs, but
The young man surnamed Li refused to give up. He grabbed the woman's arm and dragged her to the table where he was sitting. "I want to listen now."
A flash of anger flashed in the woman's eyes, but she was pulled by Mr. Li and staggered over.
Yun Shang's eyes caught a glimpse of a man dressed as a servant walking out of Qi Yuzhi's wing. He walked upstairs and took a look, and saw the tug-of-war scene downstairs. He quickly said, "Yue Niang, the Third Young Master is still waiting. You
What are you doing here?"
The young master surnamed Li was stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at the servants upstairs. He frowned and looked at the woman holding his hand. "The one who asked you to play the piano is Mr. Qi San."
The woman nodded, "Yes."
The young master surnamed Li still didn't want to let go. He raised his head and looked at the servant and said, "This young master saw this woman first."
The servant looked at Mr. Li with some disdain and walked into the private room again. After a moment, the door of the private room was slammed open with a "bang" sound, and Qi Yuzhi ran out angrily.
, followed by a few strong servants, "Which son of a bitch dares to rob someone from me?"
As soon as he lowered his head and saw the situation in the hall, Qi Yuzhi snorted coldly, "Li Qian, you are tired of living, aren't you? Someone, call me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant behind Qi Yuzhi jumped directly from the second floor, grabbed Mr. Li's hand, and squeezed it hard. Mr. Li's face was distorted with pain, "Qi Yuzhi, how dare you,
My son's father is also a well-known figure in Kangyang. If you touch my son, my father will never let you off lightly."
"Hahahahaha... You told me that you wouldn't let me go lightly. I just beat you today. What the hell, if you have the guts, ask your father to deal with me. I'm not afraid! Beat me, go ahead.
Fight to death!"
There were screams of surprise in the restaurant, and after a while, Mr. Li huddled on the ground with his body in his arms, motionless. Yun Shang looked at it, fearing that it was more serious than bad. Only then did Qi Yuzhi say stop, coldly
He snorted, "I don't know what's wrong." Then he called to the veiled woman, "Yue Niang, come upstairs."
The woman hurriedly went upstairs with Qin in her arms, followed Qi Yu with her head lowered, and entered the private room together.
Qianyin then closed her mouth that had grown bigger just now, "Mr.... Young Master... Why is this man so arrogant..."
Yun Shang smiled coldly, "Wang Fa, I'm afraid that in this Kangyang city, Qi Lang will regard himself as Wang Fa."
After eating, Yun Shang walked around Kangyang City, then left the city again, changed back into palace clothes, and asked the secret guard to find a very gorgeous-looking carriage, got on the carriage, and asked her to protect her.
Half of the people sneaked into the city quietly, and the other half followed the carriage, entered the city in a mighty manner, and headed for Qi Mansion. (To be continued)
