Chapter 130 If there is any movement in Beijing, you can find him
"..."

Logically speaking, he shouldn't feel so guilty about entering the palace, but he had bullied the Holy Queen too harshly last time. What if the woman from the Zhao family suddenly had a brain accident? As soon as he entered, the palace gate would be locked and eighteen hundred swordsmen would rush out.

Wouldn’t he then become Jin Liancheng?

"You're teasing me, aren't you?"

Liu Yue put away the weird look on his face, and said with a serious expression:

"Last night, two battalions of soldiers knocked on the gate of Jinghua late at night, saying they were there to protect the king. They almost clashed with the gatekeepers. At that time, there was chaos and disorder. Lord Wan was awakened. He even asked His Majesty for two handwritten orders before the soldiers were sent away. Now the people in the capital are in a panic, especially many rich people and officials who think that there will be a rebellion. This morning, they rushed out of the city and blocked several city gates. Lord Wan sent people to investigate all night, but there was no result--"

As he spoke, his eyes shone suspiciously, and he narrowed his eyes at Wei Mingqi and said:
"Tell me the truth, were you the one who caused the noise outside the city last night?"

"..."

Without any result, they came to summon him? What did they think of him?

Troublemaker?
Wei Mingqi said angrily, feeling deeply wronged: "Even if I did it, how can you doubt me without any real evidence?"

"..."

Liu Yue's fair face couldn't help but twitch.

Damn it, he knew that if there was any trouble in Beijing, he would find this troublemaker.

"Don't talk nonsense with me here. Go to the palace and tell Lord Wan that the whole East Palace has been following you. I see your name all day long, and I want to vomit when I see you."

After saying that, he tilted his head and took a few deep breaths.

"..."

Wei Mingqi felt that he was so arrogant only because he refused to take over Wanrenshan's job, so he had to put an end to his slander today.

At this moment, the women in the room were preparing to eat. Seeing him looking over, Xie Beiling at the door raised her eyelids and said:

"Go ahead, I'll ask them to save some food for you."

"Okay, then you take care of the family."

With Xie Beiling around, Wei Mingqi wasn't afraid of any trouble Cang Liangye might stir up. He glanced at the old man who was eagerly waiting for his meal and said:

"If he doesn't behave himself, Master, you don't have to wait for me to come back, just kill him with one sword."

"Ah."

"..."

After Wei Mingqi and Liu Yue left together.

Xie Beiling's eyes turned to Cang Liangye, who blinked and said:
"Thanks--"

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, the woman turned and left without saying anything about how he should eat his meal since he was unable to move.

"..."

Just starve first. No woman in this family is willing to serve such an annoying old man.

The other end.

I saw Wanrenshan again some time after the New Year, and he had a rare opportunity to sit in the government office.

This yamen refers to the East Yamen. Different from the West Yamen which is responsible for patrolling and arresting criminals throughout the city, the East Yamen which is in charge of spies has always been low-key. Even its headquarters is in a courtyard in the Forbidden City. All the people passing by are eunuchs. If you are not an insider, no one would have thought that this courtyard is responsible for managing 100,000 spies in the world.

"have a look--"

As soon as they met, the old man Xianshu, who was sitting behind the desk, handed over a stack of newspapers:
"The time has been set. It's a little better than I thought. It's quite neat."

"..."

Wei Mingqi hurriedly flipped through the pages, and saw that in addition to familiar faces such as Feihong Villa, Diancang Tower, and Sifang Escort Agency, there were several new faces, even two of them in Guanzhong, which were right under their noses.

Wanrenshan noticed that his eyes lingered.

"It was all stimulated by your actions a few years ago."

The old man raised a smile and said, "Especially the Xu family. After you left, I sent people to transport the skilled craftsmen and tools in Xujia Town back to Beijing. The two of us were a bit embarrassed to eat, and places like Qianlu Villa were also a bit irritated."

"..."

So far, it doesn't matter whether there are more or less families. What is a problem is that the timing of their "rebellion" is a bit close.

It's only ten days away. If he wants to accept Li He's invitation, he has to act quickly, otherwise he won't have much time to respond after returning to Beijing.

"I'm going to go out of Beijing in the next few days."

Wei Mingqi put down the letter and said frankly:
"Li He robbed my people, so I have to intervene in this matter. Before I come back, I'll leave the affairs in the capital to you. I've left a message to my subordinates in the West Mansion, so you can arrange for them."

After Li He entered the Pass with great fanfare, he had always been the focus of the East Yamen. It was impossible for Wan Renshan not to know about this. The only thing he was curious about was how he would deal with it.

"That day you said you would make the arrangements and not let me interfere, so I accepted your request. Now I only know that they have built a water fort by the Wei River, and I don't know what the situation is inside... The only thing that is certain is that Luoshen has been following your Li He. Are you sure when you go there?"

Wanrenshan is not stupid either.

If someone said that there was some story between him and Li He in their early years, so that both of them still had feelings for each other, he would believe it. But if someone said that Luoshen would cooperate with him, Wanrenshan would not believe it at all.

Seeing that the old man was doubtful and worried that he would be captured after he went there, Wei Mingqi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he pointed in the direction of his home:

"I had a fight with Cang Liangye outside the city yesterday. Guess who won and who lost, and where is he now?"

"..."

Wanrenshan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him carefully and said:

"Have you reached that level?"

"uh-huh."

"..."

It has only been half a year since he left the palace, and he has gone from barely touching the edge of being a master to now being on the verge of being called the top.

Wei Mingqi thought that the next step would be encouragement, but unexpectedly Wan Renshan stared at him for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said:
"Your breath is not stable yet, and you still have a long way to go. Don't look down on Luoshen just because she is a woman."

"... can you say something nice?"

Wei Mingqi lost his confidence and said:
"You used to praise me whenever I made some progress, but now that I've made such great progress you're suppressing me. Are you afraid that I'll become too powerful?"

Wan Renshan nodded and said, "You must know that Luoshen is not an ordinary person."

"..."

"Even though she is a woman, she is on the same level as your grandfather and me."

After saying this, perhaps because he was afraid that he might not be able to feel it intuitively enough, Wan Renshan raised one hand, rolled up his sleeves lightly, and then stretched it out in front of him -

Just a fist.

boom!
It was silent and yet it seemed as if a mountain of ten thousand hectares was looming over him. Wei Mingqi felt as if something suddenly exploded in his mind, and all the hairs on his body stood up at that moment.

"..."

A moment later.

"good."

Wan Renshan stopped his movements and praised:

"If a person doesn't jump, he will have a certain amount of pride. If he can keep his composure, he will be a great talent."

"..."

Wei Mingqi, who was holding his breath, slowly relaxed his body. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was praising or insulting.

But after more than five years of getting along, this was the first time that Wei Mingqi directly felt the pressure of a "Ten Thousand Ren Mountain".

Although I have asked for advice in the past, it was more like an elder giving advice to a younger person, which is completely different from today.

"Even though she is a woman, she is on the same level as your grandfather and me."

If you think about this sentence again, the meaning suddenly becomes complicated.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Wei Mingqi said in a deep voice: "I have never underestimated her, but she is not a murderous person. Even if I can't beat her, I can always run away."

"..."

Wan Renshan glanced at him and did not discuss the topic in depth. The situation in the martial arts world is now progressing steadily, but people at the core of the country do not feel it deeply.

At this time, it would be a good idea to let Wei Mingqi go out and experience the ups and downs of the world.

As for the capital——

"Last night, because of your movements, the Beijing camp mistakenly thought that there were thieves knocking on the capital, so they sent people to help the king. How many people do you think came?"

After hearing Wan Renshan's words, Wei Mingqi, who had communicated with Liu Yue before, said without thinking:
"Two or three thousand people?"

"Ah."

Wan Renshan said with emotion: "Of the twelve battalions, only two came in the end." "..."

At first, Wei Mingqi didn't realize what he meant, but after he said that, he realized what he meant and immediately asked:
"Isn't this just right? Otherwise, how would the Zhao family father and son fall into the trap?"

"Having said that..."

Wan Renshan smiled bitterly and said:

"But no matter how much you and I struggle, we are nothing but treacherous ministers if we are nailed to death. The second of the twelve indicates that the Central Government is also unpopular."

"..."

"These twelve battalions were established by the late emperor. Most of the commanders of each battalion were orphans. In just ten years, people's hearts are no longer the same as they were back then."

The old man sounded a little sad when he said this.

Wei Mingqi listened silently and found it difficult to comment. After all, Wu Tongtong was just a young girl. As long as she had no children, it would be impossible for her to return home.

Just normal human nature.

"It can't be said that people's hearts have been completely lost."

Finally, Wei Mingqi couldn't bear it anymore, so he spoke to comfort her:

"The situation is unclear. It is impossible for all twelve battalions to come. The fact that two battalions came shows that the imperial court is still in the hearts of most people."

"..."

Wanrenshan naturally understands this principle.

so--

The old man smiled again and said:
"I requested two imperial edicts from His Majesty last night. The words were harsh and harsh. I think they chilled the hearts of the soldiers in these two battalions. They kept complaining after they returned."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was speechless.

He really shouldn't be so mean. The old man Wanrenshan is even more evil-hearted than him. Instead, he is like a snob and is always teased by him.

"It is also because the military situation is not good, which makes the Holy Queen worried."

Wan Renshan took the opportunity to bring up another matter:

"So the governor of the Beijing camp was called early in the morning. The father and daughter should still be talking now. If I'm not mistaken, they should call you over when you go out later."

"..."

Wei Mingqi raised his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that the old man wanted him to do something immoral again.

"so?"

"So I want you to go over there and put more pressure on Zhao Jiedu."

"..."

6.

Wei Mingqi generally hates being ordered around.

But today is an exception.

.........

Garnet Lane, Wei family kitchen.

Cang Liangye was thrown on the firewood pile. The little girl in front of him scooped rice into his mouth with a spoon and muttered:
"If Sister Xie hadn't sent me, I wouldn't be willing to serve you. You cheated me of my money before and you still haven't given it to me..."

In front of him, Cang Liangye chewed the dry rice in his mouth, with a rare look of helplessness on his old face:

"Girl, can you pick up the food with chopsticks? I am almost gone, why don't you let me have my last meal comfortably?"

"…It's good enough that you're given it to eat. It's also good for the lesser master. If it were anyone else, they would have chopped you up long ago."

Although she was complaining, the girl was kind-hearted and still picked up some vegetables for him. At the end, she sighed and said:

"Eat more, so you don't get hungry on the way. If you ask other kids for food, they may not give it to you."

After saying that, he picked up another piece of meat and vegetable with chopsticks.

Cang Liangye ate very comfortably, his eyes narrowed comfortably:

"That guy has a few things in common with me. People like us are not good. A real good man is like my grandson, who is silly and obedient when a woman pinches him."

As he spoke, there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

No one would be able to get over being betrayed like this by their own grandson.

"…Speak ill of the young master again."

Song Lingyu poked the chopsticks into his mouth and tried to pick out the meat.

Although he had only spoken a few words to Wei Mingqi, not to mention that he promised to rescue Lingyin, the fact that he was Yu Niang's man could not be slandered!
That's Yu Niang.

How could Yu Niang's vision in choosing a man be bad? He must be the best man in the world!
"Spit it out! I won't give it to you anymore!"

Cang Liangye felt even more depressed now.

I really want to pull that bad boy over here and take a good look at him. In today's world, only a bad man like Wei Mingqi can have countless women.

Hey--

"Goo!"

Suddenly, a muffled bird cry was heard outside the door. Song Lingyu turned her head and saw a whole fat chicken lying on the ground at the door.

"Ball!"

Song Lingyu stood up angrily holding the bowl.

Although he had only been in this house for a day, Meiqiu had already been introduced by Sister Xie as the number one thief in the house and he had to be kept careful of at all times.

"Coal briquettes——"

As soon as she went out, she saw four or five fat chickens and ducks scattered on the ground. Song Lingyu's eyes widened:

"Sister Xie will definitely not let you off later!"

As she spoke, she picked up the scattered meat, but she didn't notice a dark shadow tiptoeing into the kitchen behind her.

"Goo-"

A blue-black eagle with black spots jumped in front of Cang Liangye and cooed twice like a dove in a pinched voice.

in front of you.

Cang Liangye blinked at it and whispered:
"Wind Pond."

Yuan Ying tilted his head, and without thinking for long, he pecked him hard somewhere on his body.

"Feng Mansion."

"..."

"Ozui."

"..."

At the main door, Xie Beiling leaned out halfway after hearing the noise outside. Song Lingyu, who was busy, immediately looked up and complained:
"Thank you, sister! Look, the coal briquettes should be beaten, and they have brought down a lot of things from under the eaves."

"..."

Xie Beiling frowned slightly, but did not see any trace of the black cat in the yard.

Then I looked back at the meat scattered on the ground...

How should I put it? It doesn't look like the work of an animal.

Although the cat is greedy, it will never do anything as despicable as Wei Mingqi did.

Thinking like this -

Whoosh!
After concentrating, Xie Beiling heard the rustling noise in the kitchen and his expression changed. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the sword and stabbed somewhere in the house through the wall.

boom--

A figure rushed out from behind the wall, but he didn't even look at the woman in the green skirt. He just walked out of the yard, not forgetting to say:
"Thank you for not seeing me off, old man, I have no intention of becoming your enemy!"

"..."

The eyes of the woman in green skirt flickered, and murderous intent surged in her.

Her kitchen!
