[One hundred and seventy-three] teahouse negotiation
Ning Nan was not talking about anything, but his eyes had already explained everything.
Chang Yu lowered his eyes, stared at the gravel at the soles of his feet, his eyes were frosty, and he gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "They are all for the consequences of Deng's death now."
Ning Nanyou patted his shoulder and comforted softly: "Your parents can feel at ease even when they see Deng Guozhong's fate."
Chang Yu's nose felt sore and he nodded in a low voice.
"It's getting late, Boyu, it's time for me to leave. Take care of everything in the palace." Ning Nanyou lifted a corner of the roller shutter, looked up at the sky through the gap, then turned his head and said to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu immediately responded: "My subordinate understands, lord doesn't have to worry."
Ning Nanyou looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he put on his armored helmet again and turned away from the imperial guard camp.
—————
The loss of the border and the defeat of the northern border town soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Then the news that Deng Qing privately led his troops back to Beijing was leaked from the palace, like willow catkins after spring, floating around the city's defense area. Soon, Deng Qing was pushed to the forefront.
The impeachment of the ministers of the court and the country was frequently handed over, and the public's resentment became increasingly fierce.
Therefore, Emperor Wei issued an order to kill and decide. After learning about this, Fu Chen was anxious to spread the news to Ning Nanyou.
At that time, Ning Nanyou had just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and was unable to escape because of Li Xiangjun's entanglement. Lu Xun suddenly came to inform him of this. He immediately felt that he had an excuse to escape from the Marquis' Mansion. After he returned from the Jiang Mansion, he found that Li Xiangjun had moved to his yard to live.
Originally, he was about to have an attack on the spot, but when he saw Lu Xun's embarrassed expression, he forcibly endured his anger. Li Xiangjun guarded the Hou's Mansion for him, holding their handles at all times, and making trouble unreasonable things, Lu Xun could only obey.
So, Ning Nanyou completely ignored Li Xiangjun's face and moved all the items to the yard where Jiang Chengjia used to live.
The woman cried because of this and refused to give up for several days. Ning Nanyou was so troubled that she was quarreling with her, and she had no choice but to do anything. Fu Chen's news was like a life-saving straw. He grabbed it tightly, and took advantage of the dawn, ran away from the Marquis' Mansion without hesitation, and handed over the remaining mess to Lu Xun for disposal.
The man watched him leave with a frown, and said sadly before leaving: "Lord...I want to see my wife."
Ning Nanyou pretended not to hear his murmur, and got on the ox cart without looking back, urging the driver to drive away quickly.
He ran away in a panic, covering his head, feeling sad.
Early in the morning, Fu Chen stayed in the teahouse, waiting for Ning Nanyou's arrival. At this time, the sky was still shrouded in gray fog. A few orioles cried by the silent corners of the street. Not far away, a few smoke from cooking smoke drifted towards the sky.
In this tranquility, Ning Nanyou's ox cart slowly drove from the small road to the small teahouse in the corner.
The coachman drove the old cow away, stopped the car steadily in the alley, and called out to the curtain: "Lord, we are here."
Ning Nanyou was leaning in the carriage and drowsy. He was awakened by the call. He opened his eyes in a daze, lifted up the curtain and crawled out. He jumped off the board, gave the coachman a few instructions, and then walked alone towards the back door of the small teahouse.
Fu Chen was restless in the building, and simply waited in front of the small door on the back wall. Ning Nanyou walked to the fork in the road and saw Fu Chen's figure at a glance. So he whispered to the man between two trees: "A Chen? Why are you coming out and waiting?"
Fu Chen had two eyes emerging from behind the door, staring at him, and Youyou said, "It's because you're too slow."
Ning Nanyou said with a bitter face: "You don't know who lives in my mansion? She is really difficult..."
Fu Chen's mouth twitched slightly and said in a suffocating voice: "You always have ten thousand reasons to swear me."
He felt aggrieved like a little resentful woman. Ning Nanyou was amused and crying. He walked slowly over slowly, and then he rolled his eyes. Fu Chen turned around without saying a word and walked towards the inner courtyard of the teahouse. Ning Nanyou shook his head helplessly, stood in front of the back door, hung a wooden plug, and ran after him.
"A Chen, I haven't seen you for two months. Can't you be kind to me?" Ning Nanyou complained, his tone as if Fu Chen had bullied him.
走在前面的青年郎君顿下脚步,扭头朝他抛了个冷眼,一脸嫌弃道:“我怎么觉得...你娶了那江氏女后,变得愈发欠揍了?从前那冷若冰霜,不苟言笑的君侯消失了么?”
Ning Nanyou pressed his eyes and snorted coldly.
Fu Chen sighed, and involuntarily slowed down and told him the important matter: "You are late. Your Majesty's decree to kill and decide has been passed to the prison in Dongshi, and I cannot save it. At noon today... He will be executed in Dongshi. I can't help you accomplish this, but in Lu Xun's letter, he said that you insist on keeping Deng Qing's life... Zhaoyuan, can I ask you, is this the reason?
If you are afraid that the news will reach Deng Guozhong, so you will anger him and make him mention to others about the consequences that you went to prison to meet him. If he speaks without saying anything, you will most likely miss the news. If this news comes to your father's ear, you may be afraid that your plan will be ruined.
However, I already have a solution. Although Zhou Yuanmo left Yekong Pavilion and was unknown, there were still many dead men in the Fuming Palace who were good at disguising themselves. Just find a person with a figure and appearance similar to Deng Qing, and change his makeup, and then he could deceive Deng Guozhong. Before that, I would use entrusting Chang Yu to send news to Deng Guozhong, telling him that Deng Qing had been saved successfully. At that time, as long as he was on the road to exile, he would have the opportunity to see the "Deng Qing" dressed by the dead men, he would be able to get a look."
Fu Chen said his thoughts in detail, turned his head to look at him, stopped the sound, and quietly waited for his reply.
Ning Nanyou hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can't change your charge...A Chen, I want..."
"no."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Fu Chen refused to refuse: "Now, Jiang Chengyi's power has not been restored. The supervision of prisons in the city is all under the responsibility of Yue Luo, Chang Yu, Dou Yuelan and Jing Ting. Not to mention Chang Yu, but only the remaining few people, who did not celebrate some holidays with the Huai Prince's Mansion? If you want to avoid the eyes of these people and rescue Deng Qing from prison, you have to hide the truth and make your Majesty, the ministers and the people in the capital believe that Deng Qing is dead, it is extremely difficult.
Besides, you have tried your best to get Deng Qing into prison. If you only want to keep your trust and contract with Deng Guozhong... I will rescue this person, I will not understand.
Zhaoyuan, Deng Qing’s crime is not enough to make you and me spend so much effort to rescue him.”
"Unless..." Fu Chen stopped in the corridor, looked up at him, and asked seriously: "You have other reasons, you must keep Deng Qing's life."
His inquiry made Ning Nanyou stunned, frowned, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Zhaoyuan. Do you want to save Deng Qing, is there another reason?" Fu Chen said word by word, his face full of concentration and solemnity.
Ning Nanyou knew that if he didn't tell Fu Chen the truth, he might not be willing to help him.
He lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, "I want to save him to find out some news about herbs from his mouth."
Fu Chen looked suspicious and said strangely: "Herbs sold? What do you want to know about this news?"
Ning Nanyou: "To find Longhu."
Fu Chen murmured, "Long Hu?"
He puzzled and said, "I remember it was an extremely rare herb, and it was not easy to find in the world. What do you want to do?"
"To save people, as for whom I save... I can't tell you." Ning Nanyou said calmly to him.
Fu Chen knew that he shouldn't have kept chasing him deep after asking this, so he stopped and calmed down.
There was a silence in the corridor. After a long time, Fu Chen whispered: "I remember that there is a dragon hu in your father's fief of the prince. Why do you want to leave the distance and ask Deng Qing?"
"Do you think I haven't sent someone to sneak into the royal palace to find this medicine?"
Ning Nanyou shook his head and sighed helplessly, "My father has always cherished his treasure pavilion, especially this kind of immortal herbs that prolong life, and sent heavy troops to guard it... to surround it like an iron barrel, tightly fitting, leaving no gap. My people sneaked into the palace twice, but whenever they approached the treasure pavilion, they would be found, and they almost lost their lives. Instead of breaking into the palace like a iron wall, I might as well spend some time on Deng Qing.
When I was still in the north, Aluo was in danger of his life due to injury. At that time, she urgently needed herbs to help her. Fortunately, there was such a spiritual dan medicine in Deng Qing Mansion... to survive. At that time, I knew that he must have a shortcut to sell spiritual herbs and immortal medicines in his hands, and he could quickly find such precious medicines."
Fu Chen asked again: "Since you already knew about this at that time, why didn't you ask this shortcut before he went to jail?"
Ning Nanyou frowned and stared at him and said, "A Chen, don't you know Deng Qing's personality? What kind of person is he... Don't you know? If he didn't force him into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have told him about this easily."
Fu Chen was slightly stunned and said in a deep voice. He knew that Ning Nanyou was indeed telling the truth.
"Forget it. I guess the person you want to save is very important to you. Since you have said that, I won't stop it."
He was silent for a moment and agreed helplessly.
Ning Nan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked, "A Chen? You have a way to replace the pillar... right?"
Fu Chenwu glared at him angrily and said, "What is it? Even if I am in trouble, you will force me to come up with a solution... Why ask more questions?"
Ning Nanyou laughed dryly, not daring to say anything more.
The two walked slowly towards the end of the corridor.
Fu Chen asked while walking, "Then...when are you planning to meet Deng Qing today?"
