A fast boat traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the dock outside the capital early that morning. Then, it changed to an ox-cart and drove to a mansion outside the city.
The door of the house was closed tightly, and the man who got off the bullock cart immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker without taking a rest.
"Who is it?" After a moment, someone asked inside.
"Me! Ah Si!" someone outside replied.
The door was immediately opened from the inside. The servant inside obviously had a good relationship with him. He quickly let him in, closed the door, and followed him and said: "You have been out for a long time, how many months has it been? But
Are you coming back to see the young master?"
"There is very important news that I want to report to you!" Ah Si said.
"Young master is meeting a visitor, please wait for a while, I will help you take a look first." The former whispered and asked Ah Si to stand and wait on the side of the main courtyard while he went in.
After a while, with a burst of laughter, Cao Yiyan sent a friend out of the flower hall. After sending him out and watching him go away, Cao Yiyan turned around, closed the door after the servant, and changed back to this person.
The prince of Wei in the minds of these people in the house had a majestic expression. He glanced around and landed on one person first.
"You went to Yingguo. How was it?"
"Sir, what the Ying State is doing now is that in name only the king is the king, but in fact the distant relatives of the clan are in charge, and the elders in the cabinet are in charge of the overall situation."
"The specific situation is here." He said, presenting a thick stack of documents.
Cao Yiyan only looked at the first page carefully and sneered: "It's exactly what I thought."
Although the Ying State was a state of the Wei Dynasty, it was actually established by pro-army troops at the border areas, and there were still imperial edicts waiting for the day to come. However, thirty years later, most of the steps have been disintegrated.
In fact, if I fail to catch up with this trip, I am afraid that I will never have another chance. Even if I catch up with this trip, I will be surrounded by dangers and I will not be able to take power easily.
There is no need to look closely at this matter, but to prepare for a rainy day and seize power step by step. Cao Yiyan's eyes fell on Ah Si who had just rushed back.
The person who had just entered now followed Cao Yiyan respectfully, signaling Ah Si to come over.
Ah Si hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Sir, I have something to report."
That's why I don't call myself the prince because I'm afraid that I'm used to saying it and accidentally let it slip.
Cao Yiyan glanced lightly: "Come in and talk."
He didn't care much about the feud between his two subordinates.
Since he had men and horses in his hands, he had many people to help him with things. He couldn't even remember how many people like this he had. If he wanted to make a career, it was not easy to become familiar in front of them.
Therefore, some people started to build good relationships with him, which in Cao Yiyan's opinion was within the tolerable range.
But for him to really catch his eye, he still has to rely on his true ability and merit.
Sitting on the main seat in the flower hall, Cao Yiyan asked directly: "I remember correctly, you and some people should have gone out of the capital to track down Yijian Chunhan, right? What, is there any news about Zeng Nianzhen?"
The person standing below hurriedly replied: "Sir, Yijian Chunhan Zeng Nianzhen has been found out. He has taken refuge with Su Ziji, the observation envoy sent by the imperial court. He is now working beside Su Ziji!"
"Su Ziji?" Cao Yiyan was planning to take a slow sip from the tea cup, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Why did Zeng Nianzhen get involved with Su Ziji?
These two people are totally unrelated, right?
Oh, yes, Su Ziji seems to have taken in a retainer named Lin Yuqing? Does that retainer seem to have some history with Zeng Nianzhen?
Thinking of the information he had obtained before, Cao Yiyan felt enlightened, but even though he understood it, he still felt a little bit bad.
I don’t know if he and Su Ziji were naturally at odds with each other. There were many things that they shouldn’t have faced off against, but they still did.
In the past few contacts, Cao Yiyan did not take advantage. Cao Yiyan could not see through Su Ziji, and if he could not see through him, he would be wary of him.
This moment was no exception. After hearing Yi Jian Chunhan, Zeng Nianzhen had rejected him at first, but now that he had taken refuge in Su Ziji, he felt even more subtly unhappy about "being compared to him again".
"Is it a conflict between the Crown Prince of Wei and the Grand Sun of Zheng?"
Just listen to the people below continue to say: "... Zeng Nianzhen followed Su Ziji to Shun'an Mansion and has been acting as a personal guard. Our people can't get close easily, and they don't dare to get close. After all, the Fu Cheng guarantees that they have passed the Ming Road.
If you are a personal guard, you can no longer use your official identity to carry out encirclement and suppression campaigns. This will easily reveal your secret..."
"What is Su Ziji doing now?" Cao Yiyan interrupted what he was about to say and asked.
The man said hurriedly: "Young man is about to report this matter."
He took something out of his arms, like a scroll, and handed it over carefully.
When Cao Yiyan unfolded it, he returned to his original position and explained: "This is someone who was bribed by Xiao Xiao. He watched it on the spot and quickly painted it."
"Su Ziji is currently organizing the construction of water conservancy projects. It is said that the construction is based on this picture. However, because the person who bribed me had limited time, he only recorded half of the picture."
Cao Yiyan's eyes paused on this picture. Originally, he didn't really care that the swordsman Zeng Nianzhen of Yijian Chunhan had taken refuge with Su Ziji. He just felt a little unhappy.
But looking at this picture now, Cao Yiyan was shocked.
"No, it looks familiar."
Cao Yiyan stared intently at this half-picture that was obviously a little scrawled, but no matter how scrawled it was, at least he could clearly see what the original water conservancy map looked like.
For those who are familiar with the original water conservancy map, it should not be too familiar!
Yes, there is such a water conservancy map in the hands of Cao Yiyan. It was a treasure map obtained from the treasury of the Wei Dynasty and was handed down during the Wei Dynasty.
Along with this water conservancy map, there are also various early records about Longjun.
The reason why this water conservancy map existed during the Wei Dynasty but was never used is because the Wei court, including the emperor, was wary of Long Jun being a foreigner and was not willing to cooperate with Long Jun in building such a water conservancy project.
"Why does Su Ziji have such a share of water conservancy?"
Slowly pinching the half of the picture, Cao Yiyan only had a dull expression on her face, but in her heart, there was actually a huge storm.
"Is Su Ziji related to Long Nu?"
"Or maybe there are dragon girls and other monsters who are connected with Su Ziji? Otherwise, before Su Ziji revealed his true identity, he was just a new champion and came from a poor family. How could he get such a water conservancy plan?"
If we say that we just can't see through Su Ziji himself, so we are tempted and curious, then with this water conservancy map, we can almost conclude that no matter what the situation is, Su Ziji is related to the Dragon Girl.
It can't be separated.
As a descendant of the Wei Dynasty and Liu Zhan's eldest disciple, Cao Yiyan's attitude towards the Dragon Girl lineage was naturally very complicated.
But no matter what, he had to find out about Su Ziji before he could feel relieved.
"Go back now and send more manpower. Mainly keep an eye on Su Ziji and monitor his whereabouts. If there is any change, report it to me immediately." Thinking of this, Cao Yiyan ordered the person standing below.
