149, position change(2/3)
Chu Ling looked at Tuoba Luo and said, "Since that's the case, why did the eldest prince come to me? You also know that Jun Wuhuan and I have an engagement."
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "Aren't the two of you not married yet? What's more, even if you can't trust the princess, you can trust the general. In the eyes of the princess, is Jun Wuhuan's fiancé more important than the general's master?"
Chu Ling lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty. She might not think that Jun Wuhuan is more important than Tuoba Xingye, but what she does is really helping Jun Wuhuan. After all, it is... different.
Tuoba Luo looked at Chu Ling and said, "I also know that the marriage between the princess and Mr. Jun is a bit... Of course, I will not confuse the two of them. Mr. Jun is about who is his own business, but I ask the princess for help through personal relationships."
Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "I will be sure of this matter with Jun Wuhuan, but I can promise you the black market matters. I will help you if you need it."
"Thank you, Princess." Tuoba Luo bowed with satisfaction and smiled.
Chu Ling said lightly: "No need to thank you. I have heard of some of the black market. I don't like that place, so it's nothing to help the eldest prince. This has nothing to do with Jun Wuhuan."
Tuoba Luo nodded, "This is naturally. If the princess is inconvenient, she will never reveal her identity."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "This is the best."
After seeing off Tuoba Luo, the smile on Chu Ling's face gradually faded. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. Chu Ling frowned slightly and thought, "Terror to Tuoba Liang... Jun Wuhuan, do you really want to mess up the whole Shangjing? If you keep going, you will suffer the chaos. I should prepare too."
Jun Wuhuan was not surprised by Chu Ling's visit.
He looked up at Chu Ling who was walking in and smiled: "Why did A Ling come out so late?"
Chu Ling looked at Jun Wuhuan carefully. It had been three days since the last meeting. Jun Wuhuan seemed to have lost weight again. He couldn't help but frowned, "What are Mr. Changli doing these two days?" Jun Wuhuan stood up and smiled, "These two days are indeed a bit busy, all of them are trivial matters. It is rare for A Ling to come to see me so late. Is it good to sit down and talk?"
The two walked to the window and sat down. Chu Ling looked carefully at Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly for a while and didn't know how to speak.
Jun Wuhuan seemed to not mind what had happened before, but instead smiled and said, "What's wrong with Ah Ling? But what did Tuoba Luo tell you?"
Chu Ling said: "Are you sick again?"
Jun Wuhuan was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, it's just... I haven't slept for two days."
"..." Chu Ling said nothing for a while, and after a while, he said: "Tuoba Luo said you have defected to the Ming Prince's Mansion? Please help him wipe out the black market."
Jun Wuhuan pondered for a moment and said, "That's true."
"Aren't you afraid that the Northern Jin Emperor will kill you?"
Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "If Tuoba Liang still wants my money and wants me to help him restrain your master, he can't let the Northern Jin Emperor kill me. However, after this incident, Shangjing may really not be able to stay. After this incident, no matter who comes to power, he will probably want to kill me."
Chu Ling couldn't help rolling his eyes at him, no one could stop him from committing his own death.
Jun Wuhuan thought her expression was very interesting, and couldn't help but chuckle, "A Ling is worried about me?"
Chu Ling shook her head and said, "Since you do this, I must be clear in your heart. I'll say the same thing. If you need help, just speak up." Jun Wuhuan looked at Chu Ling and said, "It seems that Ah Ling has made a decision."
Chu Ling said: "It's not a decision, it's a destined thing. I'm not a real Qu Sheng, and I can't be a Qu Sheng for the rest of my life. This is probably the most injustice thing I've done in my life. But since I've done it, I'll admit it."
Jun Wuhuan comforted: "A Ling doesn't have to blame himself. General Tuoba will accept a girl of pure Central Plains as his disciple, and he may not be mentally prepared."
Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "If you don't talk about this, I have promised Tuoba Luo will help him. There will be no conflict here, right?"
Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Although I can't help the eldest prince, I will ask someone to help. I don't need to tell Tuoba Luo about this."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "That's good. I'm a little curious. How did you make King Ming believe that you will do your best to help him or even help him to restrain my master?"
Jun Wuhuan smiled faintly and said, "I sent someone some things to him. He probably thought these things were very important to me, so important that I could obey his words."
"Then are these things important to you?" Chu Ling asked.
Jun Wuhuan nodded seriously, "It's really important."
"..." Yes, the young master Changli also invested a lot in the pursuit of King Ming.
"The people from the Ming Palace may invite A Ling to visit these days. Didn't A Ling want to meet Zhu Yaohong? You can take this opportunity to go and have a look." Jun Wuhuan said.
Chu Ling was stunned and immediately understood, "I understand."
Tuoba Luo was right. The news that Jun Wuhuan and the Ming Palace had close contacts spread throughout the capital soon. However, the Northern Jin Emperor did not feel angry as Chu Ling imagined. Of course, no one knew whether he was angry in private, at least there was no change on the surface. Chu Ling thought seriously at home for a long time before she realized that she really didn't know the profession of the emperor. Jun Wuhuan was really angry when he threw himself into the Ming Palace, but he really didn't need to chase Jun Wuhuan and kill him.
After all, Jun Wuhuan is just a businessman. Even a businessman with the most wealthy world, he is not a general holding military power. If Tuoba Xingye had joined the Ming Palace, the Northern Jin Emperor might have killed him at all costs, but it is not worth it to break up with the Ming Palace for Jun Wuhuan. The value of Jun Wuhuan and Lingxiao Commercial Bank is to stabilize the business of the Northern Jin Dynasty without causing civil unrest due to the sudden decline of business. Instead of taking money from him. As the emperor, the Northern Jin Emperor, who controls the national treasury, is not short of money.
The Northern Jin Emperor can deal with Jun Wuhuan after killing the Ming King, but will not take action against Jun Wuhuan first and let the Ming Palace directly oppose Jun Wuhuan in order to protect Jun Wuhuan. The Northern Jin Emperor is not short of money, but the Ming Palace is very short of money. Not to mention that there are still many powerful people in the capital. If the Northern Jin Emperor really wants to attack Jun Wuhuan, those people will probably not stand by.
However, Jun Wuhuan was fine, but Chu Ling was welcomed by Emperor Beijin. He was first invited by Emperor Beijin to the palace to see him. Emperor Beijin comforted Chu Ling very much. Chu Ling also understood his meaning. She and Jun Wuhuan's marriage were probably going to discuss again. Chu Ling didn't care. He still had to give His Majesty the face of the emperor under the roof. He just said that when Tuoba Xingye came back, he would go to talk about the marriage with Jun Wuhuan. Emperor Beijin was very satisfied with Chu Ling's sensibility, and gave her a bunch of things and released the person out of the palace.
Then the eldest prince and the fourth prince came to visit together. Chu Ling and Helan had a good relationship, but they really had nothing to say to the fourth prince. The fourth prince's concubine obviously had the same feeling as her, and they sat next to her and listened to her and Helan talk. Helan was so cheerful. The two had a good relationship and had a happy chat. But when it was halfway through, the manager outside came to report that the Lingchuan County Lord of the Ming Palace had arrived. There was a moment of silence in the flower hall.
Helan smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that the Lingchuan County Lord would choose to visit today." Everyone knows that the Lingchuan County Lord is arrogant and has no dust at present. The young powerful and powerful people in the Northern Jin Dynasty are easily intermarried with people from the Central Plains, but Tuoba Mingzhu married a general who surrendered to the Heavenly Revelation. Although the marriage was approved by the Northern Jin Emperor, many people have secretly said something bad in the past few years. But Tuoba Mingzhu didn't care at all. Basically, she was hit by her and privately discussing that she and Baili Qinghong's people had no good ending.
Such people originally thought they should have a good impression of the Age of Qiren, but after a long time, people discovered that the Lingchuan County Lord did not have a good impression of the Age of Qiren. She clearly only had a good impression of Baili Qinghong. When facing other Age of Qiren, her attitude was not much higher than that of the ordinary people of the Clan. Even with Qu Sheng's identity and ability, this county lord did not take it very seriously. Therefore, in the past two years, Chu Ling and Tuoba Mingzhu have met only a few times.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I was a little surprised, the Lord of Lingchuan County will actually visit my small place."
Helanzhen said: "What do you say? You are the princess, she is the county lord. Her father is the king of Ming, and your master is also a great general. It's not bad for her." There can be many princes in the Northern Jin Dynasty, but there is only one general and a great marshal of the army.
"Please come in."
After a while, Tuoba Mingzhu walked in with the people. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the eldest prince's concubine sitting on the side and chatting with Chu Ling. Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised her again, she was already full of smiles, "The eldest prince's concubine and the fourth prince's concubine are here too. What a coincidence."
Helan smiled and said, "Isn't that a coincidence? I haven't seen the county lord for many days, is it okay for the county lord?"
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern for the eldest princess." Tuoba Mingzhu smiled and looked up at Chu Ling, "I have met Princess Wu'an."
Chu Ling said: "The county lord doesn't have to be too polite. It is rare for the county lord to come to the humble house. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Tuoba Mingzhu looked at He Lanzhen and the Fourth Prince's Consort, thanked Chu Ling and sat down opposite the eldest prince's Consort.
Chu Ling looked at the three of them, his eyes fell on Tuoba Mingzhu, and said, "I don't know what happened when the county lord is visiting?"
Tuoba Mingzhu said, "It's nothing big, it's just that I haven't been able to visit the princess. It just happened that I'm free today, so I've been disturbing the princess. Didn't I bother with the princess?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. The county lord of Lingchuan was very arrogant, but the scene was very smooth. No wonder King Ming had so many sons and daughters, but he only loved her.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "The county lord was joking, and the county lord was naturally shining when he came to visit."
Helan really looked at the two of you who were talking meaningless words back and forth, and gave Chu Ling a powerful look. He coughed lightly and said, "It's rare that today is so coincidental. It's not interesting to sit here so many of us. Why not go out for a walk together."
"Go out for a walk?" Tuoba Mingzhu was a little surprised, "Where to go?"
"Go shopping." Helanzhen said, "There are too many people and shopping is the most lively." Didn't Tuoba Mingzhu just want to let people know that Jun Wuhuan turned to the Ming Palace, and Princess Wu'an also had a good relationship with the Ming Palace? Then let everyone in the capital take a look.
Chu Ling felt that Helan's operation was really good, so he nodded happily.
Since He Lanzhen and Chu Ling were both very happy, the other two were naturally not easy to refuse, so the group got up and took the people out in a mighty manner.
The Shangjing Imperial City has been a bit depressed these days because of Tie Muer and Tuoba Yin's assassination. Even the busiest streets in Shangjing, the shops that were once crowded now seem a little deserted. So when they see such a large group of people, the shopkeeper naturally becomes more enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
Chu Ling and Helanzhen were shopping with enthusiasm, and Tuoba Mingzhu and the fourth prince's concubine were bored and the other was dispensable. Chu Ling also saw that the character of the Lingchuan County Lord was indeed a bit arrogant than the arrogant. She probably felt that she had lost her identity when shopping in each shop like them, so although she followed Chu Ling and Helanzhen, she had no intention of participating in it at all. As soon as she entered the shop, she looked away from them, as if she had no interest in anything.
This is such a magical girl, a woman in this world who is not interested in buying things?
Chu Ling and Helan were really satisfied and bought a bunch of things for the people who followed him to carry them and continued to move forward.
"The eldest prince's concubine, princess." Tuoba Mingzhu finally couldn't stand this boring activity and called out to both of them. Both of them looked back at Tuoba Mingzhu, "Prince, do you have anything to buy, too?"
Tuoba Mingzhu twitched the corner of her mouth, and she asked the store to send it to the Ming Palace for her to choose whatever she needed.
"No. I just walked around for a whole morning. I saw that the Fourth Prince's concubine was a little tired. Why don't we find a place to sit for a while and have a meal?" Tuoba Mingzhu said. The Fourth Prince's concubine next to her also agreed. She didn't want to go shopping with Helanzhen and Chu Ling. It's not that she was not interested in these things, but that she didn't have the extravagance of these two people, and it was also a torture that she couldn't buy the things she liked.
Chu Ling and He Lanzhen looked at each other invisible places. He Lanzhen said just now: "Okay, Sheng Sheng and I bought it this morning. The county lord and the fourth brother and sister must be very bored." Tuoba Mingzhu smiled and said nothing, but she disagreed with He Lanzhen and Chu Ling in her heart.
The group found a good restaurant and sat down. Helan was very happy to order a lot of signature dishes and enjoyed them with peace of mind.
While having a leisurely meal, Chu Ling looked at Tuoba Mingzhu, who was slightly frowning and eating without knowing the taste. In fact, she could see that Tuoba Mingzhu had something to talk to her privately, but she didn't want Helanzhen to know. But neither Helanzhen nor Chu Ling gave her this opportunity, so the proud Lingchuan County Lord actually took it seriously and spent a whole morning with them. Originally, they thought that according to Tuoba Mingzhu's temperament, she was afraid that she would leave in a short while.
"It's still fun with Sheng Sheng. Even shopping around is much more interesting than usual." Helan Zhen smiled and said, "I often come to you to go shopping when I have time." Chu Ling smiled and said, "No problem, A Duo is very busy. I often am alone, so I don't want to go shopping."
Tuoba Mingzhu next to him said, "If the princess is bored, you can come to the Ming Prince's Mansion to finish. There are many people in our mansion, but it is lively."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "This is probably disturbing the Ming Palace, right?" She was not familiar with the Ming Palace.
Tuoba Mingzhu said, "How could it be? Young Master Changli has often visited the Ming Palace these days. Jinzhi even discussed with him. Young Master Changli is not only rich in the world, but also has unfathomable martial arts and cultivation. The princess has a good vision."
Chu Ling looked at Tuoba Mingzhu with a smile, her eyes were so bright that she could not say that she was innocent, "Really? Who is Jinzhi?"
The fourth prince's concubine interjected: "It seems that the Lord of Lingchuan County is called County Horse."
Tuoba Mingzhu said, "Jinzhi is my husband, Baili Qinghong."
Chu Ling nodded, "It turned out to be a horse in Lingchuan County. I heard Jun Wuhuan say that he had fought with a horse in Lingchuan County more than two years ago. He was seriously injured at that time and had been lying down for more than a month." Tuoba Mingzhu pursed her lips slightly, with a proud expression but was very modest, "Young Master Changli was in poor health, so Jinzhi took advantage of it. Jinzhi was also seriously injured that time."
"If you can see Jun Wuhuan and Lingchuan County Ma's competition with you, that would be a blessing in my life." Chu Ling sighed.
Tuoba Mingzhu smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? If the princess often goes to the Ming Prince's Mansion, she will always encounter it."
Chu Ling thought for a while, "That's it, I'll disturb you."
"Where, Princess is polite." Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her eyes and smiled.
Helanzhen sat next to him and didn't care about the two of them talking, and was still eating with a smile. She had heard Tuoba Luo talk about Jun Wuhuan's affairs long ago, and Tuoba Mingzhu was naturally not surprised to want to win over Qu Sheng. However, Tuoba Mingzhu's abacus was probably not going to make a difference, and Qu Sheng obviously had no interest in Tuoba Mingzhu. What's more, the main purpose of the Ming Prince's Mansion to win over Qu Sheng was actually to Tuoba Xingye, and Tuoba Xingye is not such a easy person to win over.
At this moment, a slap sounded the porcelain fell to the ground in the wing room next to him, and then a woman shouted in a crying voice: "Qin Shu! That's how you treat me?! You...this is how you treat me!"
The sound insulation of the wing room is not good, and it will not have any effect if you speak normally. However, the volume of screaming sounds like this is not the same as the wing room next door or the corridor outside. Chu Ling was stunned, and suddenly his expression changed slightly and guessed the identity of the woman.
Tuoba Mingzhu frowned with some displeasure and said, "Who is so arrogant?"
The fourth prince's concubine frowned and said, "Qin Shu...Isn't this the name of the eldest prince of Xiqin? Could it be that the eldest prince of Xiqin next to her?"
Chu Ling was about to open his mouth to cover it up, but he heard the woman next to him shouting: "I have been waiting for you for so many years, and you are so ruthless to me. Are you still human? Qin Shu, what is the point of me, Xu Yuetong, sorry for you?!"
“…”
Helanzhen frowned slightly, feeling that the name seemed a bit familiar.
To be continued...
