Recently, Lu Qiuling was busy with the funeral, and Shen Qiwen was grounded by Emperor Chongming.

Xu Yuanqing's ears are clean, he has nothing to do, and Xiang Changning also has a lot of free time, and several of them made an appointment to play cards.

The spring breeze was warm, so they moved the table to the yard, where it happened to be shaded by the pear tree, and they were comfortable and comfortable. They moved a small table next to it, full of snacks and refreshments.

Liu Qian, who doesn't like to join in the fun, stared straight at the sight, stopped hiding his figure, and watched them play by leaning on the pear tree, rubbing a snack from time to time.

"There's no money!" Xunniang patted her purse, frowning, Xiang Changning didn't listen to her cheating, stretched out her hand in a daze, raised her eyebrows slightly, and vowed not to give up until she got the money.

Xu Yuanqing smiled lightly, and showed her his hand, he only had a few taels of silver left.

Xiang Changning's frustration in love and triumph in the casino are vividly interpreted. One hits three, and Li Yiming howls "Aww" from beginning to end.

Blessed to the heart, Xunniang grinned, tilted her head and looked at the silent Liu Qian, her eyes bent into crescents, "Mr. Liu, why don't you come and beat me for a while?"

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Qian, his fox eyes were slightly startled, full of bewilderment.

Except for Xu Yuanqing, Xunniang had the most contacts with him, at first felt that he was indifferent and unfriendly, but after getting along for a long time, got used to it, and knew that he was just not good at words.

She got up with a smile and dragged him to sit down, winking at the stunned people.

Xiang Changning reluctantly withdrew his hand asking for the money, and pouted, "It's fine, we'll count together after the beating."

Liu Qian looked at the small cubes on the table that were stirred by his hands, hesitated for a moment, put the sword behind his back, unhurriedly untied his cuffs, exposed half of his wrists, and rubbed them like them.

Xu Yuanqing glanced at Liu Qian who was expressionless. He was indifferent to what San Que called him before, how could a beautiful girl come over as soon as she invited her.

He rolled his eyes, and asked eccentrically, "Mr. Liu, can you?"

Xiang Changning and Li Yiming watched Shale from the sidelines.

Liu Qian raised his eyes to look at him coldly, and nodded vigorously with his swift team card.

Seeing this, Xunniang was overjoyed and went to the kitchen to cut fruit for them.

Half an hour later, Xunniang and Zuoyue came back with fruits, and before they stepped into the courtyard gate, they heard Li Yiming's wailing from a distance.

"Liu Qian! Will you know it!"

Xiang Changning also echoed, "That's right! Do you want to hit me indiscriminately? Don't fight when you see it, and don't touch it when you see it!"

Even Xu Yuanqing, who has the quietest brand, couldn't help complaining, "Don't keep thinking about being a big brand, can you follow the original one?"

Liu Qian pursed his lips, glared at each other, stubbornly fought again, and the three of them were going to take turns bombing again, he raised his hand and pinched his ears, and threw the money bag on the table arrogantly.

The three of them fell silent in unison.

Xunniang hurriedly put the fruit away, blinked at the purse in front of Liu Qian, "Mr. Liu is so good?"

Hearing this, Li Yiming laughed out loud and winked at Liu Qian, "No, it's the third bag. He's kind enough to give it to us, but we're too embarrassed to accept it."

"Ah?" Xunniang was stunned, she couldn't believe it and cast a proving look at Xu Yuanqing, Xu Yuanqing calmly took out the money bag from her arms, there were only a few taels of silver left, and now it is full.

Xiang Changning had already won a lot, but now his table and pockets were full of money, and he couldn't pocket it anymore.

Xunniang was even more difficult to understand, scratched her head, and asked cautiously, "Then what are your names?"

Xiang Changning gritted his teeth, "He beat us so hard that we got a headache."

"..."

Xunniang pouted, looked at the cards in Liu Qian's hand with her head, it was pleasing to the eye, and then looked at the cards he played, her pupils dilated instantly, "Mr. Liu, you are all the same!"

"Yeah." Liu Qian nodded calmly, "It's almost there."

That's more than just one point!

Everyone sighed.

Zuo Yue carefully picked out the pear blossoms that fell on the table for them, and when he accidentally knocked down their cards, he quickly stood up again. Li Yiming bumped his hands on the table several times, and couldn't bear to hold his hands down, pulling them to the side.Come by and tell him to make tea.

Xu Yuanqing picked a peach from the plate, and asked casually, "Xuniang, why have you been away for so long?"

"I also sent a copy to my master by the way." Looking at Liu Qian's card, Xunniang frowned, hesitated to speak, and didn't move her head when she heard the question, "He asked me to tell you, GuWorm is fine, you see when you are ready to talk to him."

Xu Yuanqing nodded, "Okay."

After procrastinating for so long, finally saw the head.

The spring breeze warms the sun, the pear blossoms rustle, and the sunlight shines through the flowers and leaves, sprinkled on everyone, sporadic and mottled.

Liu Qian was addicted to vegetables, and the third bag of money was about to bottom out. Xu Yuanqing really couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Xun Niang next to him to say a few words and give him advice.

"No!" Liu Qian was very firm, "I will."

Xu Yuanqing gritted his back molars, and looked at Chang Ning counting the silver helplessly, his teeth were about to shatter.

This kid was justified when he asked him for money, and he didn't miss him. Now let him watch the money flow into other people's pockets, really!Angina!

"So lively?"

Xiao Yu'an came uninvited, waving his fan, and walked straight in front of them. He became curious to see what they were playing, and turned around to look straight at his eyes.

Seeing him coming, Xu Yuanqing was in a good mood, and said angrily, "What are you doing here on a good day?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Xiao Yu'an straightened up, and walked a few steps to Xiang Changning's side, staring at her card, "I met Prime Minister Jiang on the way and he is also coming to Xu's mansion, so I'll pass it on to him by the way.a word."

Xunniang looked up at him, "Huh?"

Xiao Yu'an, "Your Majesty summoned General Xiang."

Xiang Changning paused, and almost played the wrong card, she raised her head and frowned, "Now?"

Xiao Yu'an nodded, "It seems to be in a hurry."

"Okay, it's probably about the northern border." Xiang Changning didn't dare to delay when mentioning the business, she put the cards down and stood up, put all the scattered money on the table, stuffed all the money in the bag to Xiao Yu'an, and solemnly warned,"Let it go, I'll get it from you when the time comes."

After speaking, he raised his hand to signal to everyone, then patted the flowers on his body and left.

Xiao Yu'an sat down with the money bag in his arms, happily counting the money.

Li Yiming picked up the scattered silver on the table and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"Don't tell the general, it's probably a matter of northern Xinjiang." Xiao Yu'an quickly finished counting the money, put the money bag on his lap, and distributed all the scattered money on the table to them, "I'm here to find my mother. I have something to do on the way.When he met Prime Minister Jiang, he said hello, and when he heard that I was coming to Xu's residence, he asked me to bring a message, but I don't know exactly what happened."

Xunniang: "Looking for me?"

Xiao Yu'an said seriously, "Qizi City has your letter, and the longest one has been stored for more than half a year. You haven't sent someone to pick it up, but it was sent to me after a while. Let me ask you."

Qizi City is a city in the north. It belonged to the northern border before Dasheng was victorious, but now it belongs to Dasheng.

Before looking for her mother, she had a friend in the city to help her find medicine. She didn't want to disclose it, so she found an inn run by a Dasheng person to send a letter. Since Xu Yuanqing had blood fennel, she hadn't contacted her again.

Why did the letter fall into Xiao Yu'an's hands?Xunniang immediately thought of the Zangbao Pavilion and Chunyue Tower in the capital, and immediately understood.

Li Yiming didn't know that Xiao Yu'an had such a great ability to extend his hand to the northern border, so he didn't understand the logical sequence, and asked aloud, "The letter from Qizi City is still looking for a mother, how did it get to you?"

Xiao Yu'an spoke confidently: "My shop."

Li Yiming's eyes widened.

Xunniang: "Where is the letter?"

Xiao Yu'an: "There are too many, it's inconvenient for me to carry them, I'm afraid that some secrets will be left in the mansion, and I will ask someone to bring them to you after asking if it is your letter."

Xunniang nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Xu Yuanqing sipped tea and listened quietly, and only asked after the chat was over, "Are you still playing?"

Xiao Yu'an hurriedly said, "Fight, how do you play this? Can Miss Xun teach me?"

Since Xunniang accepted his favor, naturally she wouldn't show him face, so she walked around to teach him.

Li Yiming was thoughtful, "Xuniang, isn't your line to find blood fennel in northern Xinjiang broken?"

Xunniang: "Well, I gave up after the blood fennel was lost, presumably because he urged me to pay. He didn't know that I was in the capital, and thought I was also making a living in northern Xinjiang."

"I spent a few days trying to grab it. Who knew that the blood fennel was given to the same person in the end. Hey, it was a mistake!" Li Yiming shook his head and lamented, Xu Shizi curled his lips as if nothing had happened, "ButAccording to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you pay on delivery, that person is considered unlucky."

Xunniang said softly, "It's okay, I'll read the letter first and then I'll talk about it, maybe it's other business dealings."

At dusk, the barracks came in a hurry and people called Li Yiming away, and they were sure that something happened in Beijiang.

Xu Yuanqing immediately asked Liu Qian to investigate. Northern Xinjiang surrendered, and Emperor Chongming immediately sent someone to negotiate a peace agreement. The envoy's return in half a year was approaching, and he hurriedly summoned Xiang Changning. Maybe something happened.

Xiang Changyuan didn't come to see him in the evening, but Gu Sanzhi hurried over holding the copper coins he used for divination, and he was even more anxious.

When was a child, Liu Qian came slowly.

After Xiang Changning came out of the palace, he went straight to the military camp on the outskirts of the city. After being called away, Li Yiming also went straight to the military camp, and he has not left yet.

The barracks didn't dare to rush in, Liu Qian didn't go in, but listening to the movement, it seemed that he was counting troops.

Hearing this, the copper coin in Gu Sanzhi's hand fell to the ground, and the crisp sound was endless.

After a sleepless night, Xun Niang brought news the next morning.

It was widely circulated in the capital that yesterday Xiang Changning entered the palace because the emperor ordered her to be chosen as the crown princess, and it was disrespectful to resist Changning's order.

However, the news of the false name spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, and the power of the behind-the-scenes forces can be seen.

Coincidentally, to the long run.

"My elder sister asked me to come and talk to you." He went straight to Xu Yuanqing, twitched the corner of his mouth at him to relieve his nervousness, and his eyes fell on Gu Sanzhi, "She is on business, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Yuanqing frowned slightly, "An accident happened during the negotiation?"

"En." Xiang Changyuan nodded, with a worried expression on his face, "Bei Nu is aggressive and the envoy was banned. My elder sister took the envoy back to Beijing under a secret order. She has already set off secretly this morning. We just need to wait quietly for her return."

Xu Yuanqing looked at Gu Sanzhi's copper plate on the ground, his thoughts were confused.

"Why General Xiang?" Gu Sanzhi's voice trembled slightly, even though he was separated by a layer of black cloth, it made people feel that he was a little heavy.

"The chief envoy sent by Beijiang was captured alive by my elder sister. Although he was a prisoner, my elder sister did not embarrass him. During the peace talks, he mentioned that my elder sister should come in person, but His Majesty forbids it." Xiang Changyuan explained slowly, "NowWhen envoys suffer, it is most appropriate for my elder sister to sneak in secretly."

Gu Sanzhi thought for a long time before nodding.

Xiang Changning was originally a general, and it was normal for her to come forward when there were changes in Beijiang, but they had a lot of fun recently, and there was no bad news from Beijiang, so they got carried away.

Gu Sanzhi bent down to pick up the lost copper coins, he touched the ground silently, Xunniang came back to pick it up for him.

"Thank you." Gu San left after knowing the thank you, and Xunniang was not at ease seeing his distraught appearance, and followed after beckoning to Xu Yuanqing.

Looking at Xu Yuanqing's serious expression, Xiang Changyuan took a few steps forward to pluck the pear blossoms from his hair, and asked softly, "How many of the envoys you sent have a close relationship with the crown prince, do you suspect that someone is behind the scenes?"

The envoys sent by Zhongliu Taishi are Shen Qiwen's tutor, and Xinzhuang is Shen Qiwen's cousin. It's hard for Xu Yuanqing not to think about the sudden incident.

Xiang Changning raised his hand and patted him on the back, comforting him, "My sister knows well, so you don't have to worry about it, I also asked someone to follow in secret, if anything goes wrong, they will keep my sister safe."

"Yeah." Xu Yuanqing nodded, slightly relieved to see his confident appearance, "you keep an eye on Shen Yuze by the way."

Shen Qiwen is an idiot, and I am afraid that he will never think of using the northern Xinjiang mission after racking his brains, but there is Shen Yuze next to him, and his brain is not something ordinary people can guess.

Since he speculated that Xu Yuanqing was controlling his luck, his behavior has been changing intentionally or unintentionally, and Xu Yuanqing can't guess what he will do next.
