Jun Wuhuan's expression gradually became solemn, and the man standing in front of him couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Young Master, do you have any instructions?"

Jun Wuhuan pondered for a moment before saying, "In three days, give me the list of people who may have seen Empress Tianqi and the female relatives of the Duke Xiang's mansion that may exist in Shangjing Imperial City." The man was about to respond, but Jun Wuhuan suddenly said, "No, no need. If you send someone to the inn to send a letter, you will say that I will invite Duke Xiang to have tea. Remember, only Duke Xiang does not want to see Shangguan Chengyi."

"Yes, young master." The man was a little surprised. The young master had always been calm and wise, and the orders he said must have been carefully considered. This was the first time he heard the young master take back the order he had just given.

Jun Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "Arranging a team of people to pay special attention to Shengsheng, and you don't have to worry about it or pay attention to it. Once she has life worries, you must rescue her. Tell the people below not to approach her casually, she will find out."

"yes."

Jun Wuhuan thought about it and found nothing to explain, so he waved his hand and asked someone to retreat.

Jun Wuhuan was the only one left in the empty dark room. Jun Wuhuan leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest for a while. He didn't know what he thought of and suddenly laughed softly, "Shengsheng...A Ling. You really surprised me."

Even half a quarter of an hour ago, Jun Wuhuan felt that his guess was too ridiculous. But now he really decided to confirm this guess and he believed it more and more. But even so, he still didn't figure out how a little princess who grew up in Huanyiyuan grew up like A Ling? It's not that there are really peerless masters hidden in ghost places like Huanyiyuan, right? What is the purpose of such a place? Moreover, A Ling didn't look like a little girl raised in captivity from the beginning, and her vision and insight cannot be taught by her mouth. Compared to her, Yun Yi, who came from a noble family, thought she was smart, was like a little fool.

Jun Wuhuan carelessly rubbed his fingertips. He didn't want to find out A Ling's secret. As he said to Huan Yu, he hoped that A Ling would tell him one day. But now... Jun Wuhuan keenly felt that A Ling's secret might be too dangerous, and it was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. Once something unexpected happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Duke Xiangguo received Jun Wuhuan's post, he was a little surprised. After all, the Changli Prince had clearly shown his alienation to them before. Although Lingxiao Business Company was spread all over the world, the relationship between the Changli Prince and the Tianqi court was quite average. Because of the incident back then, Jun Wuhuan had never even set foot in Pingjing, so it seemed natural that Jun Wuhuan supported the people of Northern Jin. After all, the Northern Jin Emperor had always treated Changli Prince very favorably.

Since that's the case, why did Jun Wuhuan suddenly post him? And he only gave him one person?

It wouldn't be true. Jun Wuhuan wanted to help the people of Northern Jin to instigate him? Duke Xiangguo smiled at this unreliable guess.

Although he was full of suspicion, Duke Xiangguo still happily made the appointment with Shangguan Chengyi's puzzled eyes.

The place that Jun Wuhuan agreed on was not Jun's mansion, but a private villa in the city not far from the inn. As soon as Duke Xiangguo walked into the garden, he saw all kinds of chrysanthemums in the garden competing for beauty. In the pavilion deep in the flowers, Mr. Changli was sitting at the table cooking tea in white. The master was like jade, quiet and elegant. The action of pouring tea was like flowing clouds and water, as if the master of famous families had come out of ancient times.

The Duke of Xiangguo sighed and said, "It is said that the Baixiang Garden outside the city is the best place to go to Beijing to appreciate chrysanthemums. It must be that they have never seen the other courtyard of Changli Gongzi."

Jun Wuhuan looked up at him, but his movements did not stop. He just smiled lightly: "Duke Xiangguo is too much. The north is bitter and cold, and nowhere is as good as the prosperity of Pingjing." Duke Xiangguo was silent and smiled bitterly. Although Jun Wuhuan was from Western Qin, he still felt a little uncomfortable when talking about Duke Xiangguo of Pingjing. Even if it was bitter and cold, it was originally the capital of Tianqi. After ten years, he has returned to his hometown and is already a guest.

"I'll be sorry for the invitation rashly. Duke please sit down and have a cup of tea." Jun Wuhuan smiled.

Duke Xiangguo walked to the opposite side of Jun Wuhuan and sat down. Looking at the teacup that Jun Wuhuan put in front of him with his own hands, he said calmly: "Young Master Changli is invited to come down, won't it just for the sake of tea, right?"

Jun Wuhuan smiled faintly and said, "The Duke of the State said, there are indeed some things I want to ask for."

"Please say." Xiangguo is fair.

Jun Wuhuan's eyes fell on Duke Xiangguo's face, but he slowly said: "I heard that Mrs. Duan was the first lady in Beijing when she was young. Unfortunately, I gave birth to a few times later and couldn't see the style of the old lady."

The Duke of Xiangguo's eyes suddenly shrank, and his eyes looked up at Jun Wuhuan instantly became extremely sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master Changli, don't you think you are too rude?"

Jun Wuhuan smiled apologetically and said, "Duke Xiangguo and his mother, the late Queen Tianqi, were fortunate to see the late Queen Tianqi from afar in his early years. It is really a kind of motherly charity in the world."

"What do you want to say!" Duke Xiangguo said in a deep voice.

Jun Wuhuan said: "I'm just a little curious. How glorious are the two princesses of the Queen?"

The Duke of Xiangguo was silent for a moment and said, "The person is gone, what's the use of saying this? The Changli Gongzi was a famous man in the world. Please respect the deceased person more so as not to ruin his reputation."

Jun Wuhuan chuckled, "Respect? I have not seen how the Tianqi people respect the late queen and the two princesses. The Duke of the State actually asked me? Jun seemed to be from the Western Qin Dynasty."

The blue veins on Duke Xiangguo's forehead were leaping more and more happily. When the young man saw him, he felt that when he first met, he felt that Mr. Changli was indeed worthy of his reputation, but now he felt that he wanted to punch him and knock off the smile on his face. Jun Wuhuan leaned forward slightly and laughed in a low voice: "My dear sister and two nieces have been humiliated in places like Huanyiyuan. Over the years... Duke has slept well?"

"Jun Wuhuan!" Duke Xiangguo finally couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand and slapped Jun Wuhuan's hateful smile. He came from a scholarly family and learned how to defend and strengthen his body. He was not sure how clever he was when fighting. Jun Wuhuan didn't even hide, but just sat up straight slightly and barely stopped his punch less than an inch from Jun Wuhuan's nose. A dagger quietly put his neck on. Some time later there was a man in gray behind him. "Duke Xiangguo, please calm down."

The cold touch of the dagger really calmed down. The Duke of Xiangguo retracted his fists and stared at Jun Wuhuan with a resentful look. Jun Wuhuan nodded to the person behind him, and the man immediately put away the dagger and bowed to Jun Wuhuan and disappeared outside the pavilion.

Xiangguo calmed down for a moment, then he looked at Jun Wuhuan coldly, "Young Master Changli, what do you want to do!"

Jun Wuhuan asked, "Does Duke Xiangguo know Sheng Sheng?"

Duke Xiangguo was stunned, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and smiled, "Duke Xiangguo doesn't have to be nervous. Jun just wants to make sure something. Duke Xiangguo can't hide the extra attention from Shengsheng these days. Can you definitely hide it from someone else? Jun is not interested in the private affairs of Duke Xiangguo and Duan's family. I just want to know who Duke Xiangguo thinks Shengsheng looks like? How much does it look like?"

Such a direct question surprised Duke Xiangguo a little. Jun Wuhuan lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, saying, "Shengsheng is very important to me. I will kill anything that is dangerous to her before it happened. Shengsheng was originally a Tianqi person, but he worshipped Tuoba Xingye as his teacher, and his identity was awkward. If someone made a fuss about her identity, it would be very dangerous for her. Therefore, I hope Duke Xiangguo will not make things difficult for me."

Xiangguo said justice: "Young Master Changli values ​​Miss Qu so much? But in my opinion, with General Tuoba in the end, the young master Changli may not be able to do it." The people of Northern Jin Dynasty are open-minded, and Tuoba Xingye now agrees that Jun Wuhuan pursues Qu Sheng, which does not mean that he will really marry Qu Sheng to Jun Wuhuan.

"This is Jun's own business." Jun Wuhuan said.

Duke Xiangguo pondered for a long time before: "Young Master Changli, don't worry. Duan is indeed concerned about Miss Qu because she is somewhat similar to her mother when she was young. However... Mr. Changli should know that when Tianqi moved south, a large number of powerful clan relatives died in misfortune. The mother was a wife in the deep boudoir and was not something that ordinary people could see. Not to mention the appearance of her mother when she was young... not many people have seen her."

Jun Wuhuan said: "In Shangjing Imperial City, how many people can you contact Sheng Sheng and see Mrs. Duan when she was young?"

Duke Xiangguo pondered for a moment and frowned, "No more than five, they are all old ladies from the family of the Tianqi Powerful Rich who surrendered to the Clan. However, if the old powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Rich Powerful Richer, Better Good? Besides, Miss Qu and My Mother and My Mother My Mother Is Only Four or Five-some

Xiangguo said justice: "There is a man... she was a companion to her mother when she was a teenager, and later married a new Jinshi at that time. Ten years ago, the man's family joined the Northern Jin Dynasty. As far as I know, the man's youngest daughter married the second son of Tian Bozhang, the left prime minister of the Northern Jin Dynasty. A few years ago, the granddaughter entered the palace and became the concubine of the Northern Jin Emperor. Miss Qu is the most likely to meet... and she should be the only person who thinks Miss Qu looks familiar."

Jun Wuhuan lowered his eyes and nodded, "Thank you, Duke."

Duke Xiangguo looked at Jun Wuhuan and said, "This is Duan's fault. Please rest assured that Master Changli, I will not get close to Miss Qu again in the future."

Jun Wuhuan said, "It's so great, thank you."

After seeing off Duke Xiangguo, Jun Wuhuan lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in front of him for a long time, and then said, "Phantom."

"Young Master." The man in gray who had just left appeared quietly again.

Jun Wuhuan asked, "The person whom Duke Xiangguo said just now, go check it."

The Phantom said: "Young Master, there is no need to investigate. The Duke of Xiangguo should be the wife of Li Ye, a doctor at Zhongshun. Since the Li family has climbed into the Tian family, it has been very glorious among the people of the Central Plains. A few years ago, he sent his eldest granddaughter to the palace and was pregnant two years ago, but unfortunately he was not saved." He has been lurking in the dark to collect various news, so naturally, these things are clearly not necessary to investigate them.

Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "What kind of person is this Mrs. Li?"

The Phantom frowned and said, "This Mrs. Li is quite domineering. Of course, this is just when facing the people of the Central Plains. She is very humble and kind when facing the people of the Clan. Moreover, she is not friendly to the grandma of the Duke of Xiangguo. A few years ago, a noble lady accidentally mentioned that she had been a companion to the Grandma of Xiangguo, and she secretly framed the wife's family with an affair with the Southern Dynasty, causing the family to beheaded. A few days ago, Duke Xiangguo and Shangguan Chengyi came to her house, and she made things difficult for her to mock her."

Jun Wuhuan frowned and thought, "Yes, six years ago...the matter between the Yuan family?" This was a bit of Jun Wuhuan's impression, but he was not in Beijing at that time, and neither of them was a good thing, so naturally he didn't interfere.

Phantom nodded, "Then Mrs. Li is now worried that her granddaughter has no capital to become ante. If she doubts Miss Qu's identity..." Phantom has no affection for this old woman who is good at ease.

Jun Wuhuan slowly stroked the teacup in his hand, but the Phantom keenly felt a faint murderous aura begin to spread.

Sure enough, Jun Wuhuan's voice sounded in the pavilion.

"Then let her go on the road, she is not young anymore. Since the grandmother of the Duke of Xiangguo's mansion has passed away, she should go to serve as a companion. It is a gift from this prince to Duke of Xiangguo."

"Yes, young master."

That night, Xiangguo Duke, who heard the news of Mrs. Li's sudden death, couldn't help but tremble. Looking at the tea sprinkled on the table, Xiangguo Duke couldn't help but smile bitterly. Mr. Changli is such a good method. I think if he hadn't cooperated very tactfully, he might be the one who ended up like Mrs. Li, right?

Jun Wuhuan was really sincere to that Miss Qu.

Forget it... He shouldn't have caused trouble for such a smart and powerful girl. What a pity, if it were...

Chu Ling naturally wouldn't know what happened in Shangjing Imperial City, what Jun Wuhuan did. Even Mrs. Li's death did not reach her ears. The wife of a fourth-rank official and a very young man died of illness, which is not worthy of the attention of General Tuoba's disciples. It would not be the attention of others in the capital for too long, except for the family of the deceased. Now everyone in Shangjing is paying attention to Qu Sheng and Princess Gu Yang.

In order to show the solemnity of the challenge, this competition was not solved by finding a spacious place to set up a ring two days ago. The Northern Jin Emperor specially assigned a school ground in the imperial city to hold the competition. All the people who went to Beijing, whether the people of the Clan, the Clan, the Ancestral People or other tribes, could go and watch it.

So, when Chu Ling and his group arrived at the place early in the morning, the entire school ground was covered with people. It was not enough to describe the lively place today. Yaduo followed Chu Ling with a serious face, as if Chu Ling was not going to fight with a little girl but going to the battlefield.

Chu Ling patted her with some amusement and said, "I can kick her down in those two moves without ten moves, don't be nervous."

Yaduo forced a smile, "There are also the Young Master Changli and the Fourth Prince." If these two lose, Sheng Sheng will bear the consequences.

Chu Ling said: "If they can't win, it's only my master who can take action. Even if my master doesn't help me, how could he turn his elbow out?"

"..." Di Yaduo sighed without being comforted at all, "Good luck, Shengsheng."

"Thank you good words, Sister Aduo." Chu Ling said with a smile.

Yaduo suddenly stopped and looked forward. A group of people opposite him walked over. Chu Ling saw Princess Gu Yang in the crowd at a glance. Princess Gu Yang's face was not very good, and she immediately glared fiercely when she met Chu Ling. Walking beside Princess Gu Yang was a beautiful middle-aged woman. Chu Ling naturally knew her, and she was Princess Gu Yang and the sixth prince's biological mother, Princess Jin He.

Chu Ling has always admired the beauty of Princess Jinhe. Princess Jinhe can be said to be the most beautiful girl she has ever seen. She is gorgeous, slender, charming but not weak, proud but not vulgar. Even at this age, she is still a charming beauty. Compared to those gentle and quiet noble ladies of Tianqi, Chu Ling admires such a vibrant beauty more. Poor Princess Gu Yang has not even inherited the beauty of her mother for 50% of her mother.

Emperor Jinhe looked at Chu Ling but couldn't be said to be friendly, and Chu Ling didn't care. After all, he had to go to the ring with his daughter, where could he expect others to be friendly to her?

"I have met the Queen Jinhe, the Sixth Prince, and Princess Gu Yang." Chu Ling bowed and smiled.

Princess Jinhe looked at Chu Ling deeply and said, "Miss Qu is so childish."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise from the imperial concubine. Qu Sheng is a rough man, and he is not as good as the imperial concubine and His Highness."

The Empress Jin He looked slightly dark, but he looked at Chu Ling but did not speak anymore, but said to Princess Gu Yang, "Let's go." At this time, any words to show weakness are to bring shame to yourself. What's more, the Empress Jin He would never show weakness to a woman of Apocalypse in public. Qu Sheng... The general accepted a good apprentice, but it's hard to say who wins and who loses in the end.

Seeing the group of people coming and leaving, Chu Ling turned around and shrugged at Yaduo, "They just came over to say hello, and the courtesy of Emperor Jinhe is very comprehensive."

“…”

The ring around the school are already crowded, but those who should have privileges still have privileges. Although almost no one else has a place to gain a foothold, there are still many people who can find their seats leisurely. Except for the best position in the North Jin Emperor, two queens, the left and right queens, and several young princesses. The positions in the front are almost all divided into two sides, and those who support Chu Ling and Princess Gu Yang are clearly divided. If it weren't for the competition two days ago, Chu Ling's lineup might be pale. However, Chu Ling's record of winning ten people in a row two days ago made many people who admire the strong more confident in her. The formations on both sides seemed almost the same.

Chu Ling couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Can't it be because the master was afraid of being embarrassed and specially found someone to support her?"

"Shengsheng, what are you thinking?" Jun Wuhuan's voice came from the side. Chu Ling looked up at him and pointed to the audience in brocade clothes behind his seat who had a very extraordinary origin. "What's going on with these people?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "These people are all betting on the bet, you are the ones who win by betting on Shengsheng."

Chu Ling was surprised, "Can you still play like this? Have you also placed a bet?"

Jun Wuhuan nodded with a smile.

"How many?"

Jun Wuhuan stretched out a finger, Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Ten thousand taels?" Jun Wuhuan shook his head, Chu Ling was a little surprised, "Ten thousand taels?"

Jun Wuhuan leaned over to her ear and whispered: "One million taels."

Chu Ling couldn't help but breathe a chill, "You won't transfer all the mobile silver in Shangjing, right?" One million taels of silver was not a decimal even for Mr. Changli. Jun Wuhuan chuckled and said, "That's not, only 30%.

Chu Ling murmured: "I have a little weak legs. Have you never seen the world?"

"Nothing?" Jun Wuhuan said inexplicably.
To be continued...
