Outside the house, Ying Wu, who had just escaped, came back and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." Qi Xu's cold response came from the room.
Yingwu walked into the room holding a secret letter that had just been delivered. He looked straight ahead and lowered his head to present the secret letter with both hands.
This attitude of being afraid of disturbing the two people actually added a touch of awkwardness to Qi Xu and Wei Yunlan who were originally communicating normally.
The two looked at each other and quickly avoided each other's sight.
Qi Xu took the secret letter and unfolded it directly without avoiding Wei Yunlan's presence.
After quickly scanning it, he handed the letter to Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan was surprised. "Let me see?"
The secret letter that could be sent at such a critical juncture must be extremely important information.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds out that he has seen this kind of thing, will he really not blame Mr. Xiao, the head of the Tianshu Pavilion?
"It's about Lord Lin, the Censor of Hanzhou. The matter is going so smoothly, thanks to Lord Wei's help." Qi Xu did not take back the letter, but said, "The letter talks about the affairs of Huangzhou and the Northland. Miss Wei, you can take a look."
Now that things have come to this, there is no reason for Wei Yunlan to refuse.
After all, she is now in the North, and will live there with her family for quite a long time in the future. Knowing more about the situation in the North will be beneficial to her family.
After taking the letter, Wei Yunlan looked down.
The letter mentioned two things. The first was that Lin Yue, the Censor of Hanzhou, had submitted a memorial to the capital and brought people to Huangzhou.
The second thing is that the newly appointed governor of Sanzhou, Song Changke, and his family will enter the territory of Huangzhou before dark tomorrow. At present, the troops of the two thousand households under the command of Lin Yan, the commander of Huangzhou, are all staying on the road they must pass.
Ying Wu added, "Master, the people from the Anbu and the Yingbu are ready. As long as Lord Song and Lin Yan's men meet, we can take action."
"Okay." Qi Xu nodded slightly after hearing this, "Take the person away, don't create any unnecessary trouble, and be careful not to hurt the lives of Song Changke and Princess Daning."
"Yes." Ying Wu responded respectfully and walked out of the room again.
Wei Yunlan, who was sitting nearby, read the secret letter and listened to the entire conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel shocked.
Now she finally understood why Mr. Xiao said that as long as she could invite Lord Lin, the Censor of Hanzhou, to Huangzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly, she would be able to report the matter to the court and force it to take it seriously even if it did not care.
There is no doubt that Prince Duan would never let it go after Song Changke and Princess Daning were in danger.
He is the oldest member of the royal family, and even Emperor Xiaoming has to respectfully call him "Uncle".
Even Concubine Ling and the Second Prince had to retreat when confronted, not to mention the other people in the court. No matter who the backers of these officials in Huangzhou are in the capital, they can't hide what happened in Huangzhou this time.
This matter would surely become a big deal in the court, forcing Emperor Xiaoming to order the punishment of these officials.
Tianshu Pavilion has really played a big game this time!
I just don't know whether this move was the work of Mr. Xiao in front of me, or the idea of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is far away in Tanzhou.
Selfishly, Wei Yunlan prefers the former.
After all, Tanzhou is separated from Huangzhou by half of Dayong's territory. Even if the fastest flying Saker Falcon is used to send a letter, it will take some time to go back and forth. How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have time to grasp the developments in Huangzhou in time?
…
A light sleep all night.
Early in the morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting light, Qi Xu brought people to say goodbye to Wei Yunlan.
"The situation in Huangzhou is full of dangers. Sir, you must be careful in your actions."
Thinking of this farewell, after dealing with the matter of Huangzhou, the other party will set off for Tanzhou, Wei Yunlan continued: "Tanzhou is a long way, I hope you take care of yourself and everything goes well."
"Thank you, Miss Wei." Qi Xu folded his hands and bowed, his eyes fell on Wei Yunlan's face, and said in a gentle voice: "I don't know when we will meet again after this separation. I hope Miss Wei and Lord Wei's family are safe and sound in the North."
"Tianshu Pavilion also has some people in Beiguan. After arriving at Beiguan, Yu Qi will introduce the people from Tianshu Pavilion to Miss Wei. If the Wei family encounters something inconvenient to handle in Beiguan, they can hand it over to the people from Tianshu Pavilion."
A hint of surprise flashed across Wei Yunlan's eyes. She thought that her transaction with Tianshu Pavilion was completely over after arriving at Beiguan, but she didn't expect that there was such a surprise waiting for her.
It would be a bit against one's will to say those polite words at this time, so Wei Yunlan quickly folded his hands and saluted the other party again, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Xiao. Yunlan is very grateful."
In return, she handed over a letter that she had hidden in her sleeve for a long time.
"What is this?" Qi Xu raised his eyebrows, a little confused.
"You will know after you have read it, Mr. Xiao." Wei Yunlan reminded: "Sir, please remember not to let others see it. Just burn it after reading it."
The content of the letter was exactly what she wrote overnight.
These were all things she tried hard to recall, things she had heard about major events in the southwest when she was floating above the Marquis' Mansion in her previous life.
I hope it can be of some use to Mr. Xiao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him.
This way, their kindness in protecting the Wei family will not be in vain.
After putting the letter away carefully, Qi Xu finally said, "Farewell, Miss Wei, take care."
After saying that, he led his men out of the yard.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark, he quietly disappeared into Tianwangzhuang.
Looking at the other person's departing back, Wei Yunlan suppressed the emotions in his eyes and said to himself, "Take care."
Then he started to arrange today's affairs without stopping.
There are still many things to do. As the day to go to Beiguan is getting closer, Wei Yunlan uses every day as a record.
While they were busy here, Wei Maolin, who had settled down in Beiguan City ahead of his family, was also busy.
Taking advantage of the job he received in the City Affairs Office, he sorted out almost all the personnel relationships in Beiguan City in the past few days.
Don't underestimate what he did. Beiguan is located on the border of Dayong, far away from the capital, and the relationship in the capital is completely useless here.
Only by understanding the forces here in advance can we avoid risks before settling down.
It was a coincidence that the mansion that Gong Xishan had recommended to him earlier faced the Liang family who were about to arrive at Beiguan on one side, and the residence of Mr. Qiu, the military supervisor of Beiguan, on the other side.
According to what Wei Maolin had learned in the past few days, that family was also a troubled one. Fortunately, he did not choose that mansion...
Just as he was thinking about this, a runner came in from outside the City Affairs Office and reported, "There are people coming from the capital again, and they have already reached the city gate."
