Chapter 444 Utilization Value
The corners of Su Hanchu's mouth twitched slightly, and then he stood up.
The man's eyes flashed with excitement, and he strode forward and shook Jun Moye's hand.
"Aye, you're finally back. You've only written me one letter in all these years. You're such a heartless person, do you know how much I miss you in this imperial city?"
Jun Moye also held the man's hand tightly.
"I've wanted to write to Brother Qingrui countless times, but I was afraid that something might go wrong and cause you trouble. I'm extremely cautious about meeting you today."
Su Hanchu's eyes fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, as if he saw the spark of gay love.
Yun Qingrui's eyes were full of smiles as he spoke:
"Me too. I've wanted to contact you many times to ask how you were doing, but I was afraid of causing you trouble. Thankfully, we can still meet now. Ah Ye, I was insignificant back then, but I've been working hard these past few years, climbing up the ladder step by step. I don't believe you can let go of what happened back then. Now, if you need anything, just ask. No matter the danger, your brother Qingrui will be there for you."
When Jun Moye heard this, his eyes showed emotion.
"Brother Qingrui still takes care of me like he did back then..."
Suddenly, he remembered Su Hanchu and hurriedly introduced him:
"Brother Qingrui, this is my wife, Su Hanchu, the former daughter of General Su's family and the current Lord of Baise City."
"Chu Chu, this is Yun Qingrui. We are close friends and studied in the same academy. Back then, because Brother Qingrui was taking the imperial examination, we didn't interact much in public, but we have always been good friends in private. Brother Qingrui won the top prize in the literature exam that year and is now the Prime Minister of Tianyuan."
In just a few words, he explained his relationship with Yun Qingrui and Yun Qingrui's identity clearly.
Su Hanchu smiled slightly and bowed.
"Hanchu meets Brother Qingrui."
Yun Qingrui naturally knew Su Hanchu; he had secretly met them when they entered the city, but this was the first time they had spoken. He looked Su Hanchu over. He had also heard Qiu Dao talk about the startled horse and the assassination attempt. A Ye's wife was indeed a remarkable woman.
"So this is my sister-in-law. You're welcome. I also want to thank you for sticking with A'ye. I don't know what you've been through along the way, but I can imagine it must have been extremely difficult. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Su Hanchu once again showed a perfect smile.
“When a husband and wife are of one mind, they do not talk about hardship.”
Yun Qingrui nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, Aye had a wife who could stand by him.
Jun Moye hurriedly greeted Yun Qingrui.
"Brother Qingrui, please take a seat."
Then he gave another order.
"Qingzhi, have someone bring the food over."
As he said this, he personally poured tea for Yun Qingrui.
Yun Qingrui sat next to Jun Moye.
"Aye, don't rush to eat. What's wrong with your body? I wanted to go to your house to see you, but your house has been watched recently."
Seeing Yun Qingrui's face full of concern, Jun Moye smiled and raised his hand.
"Brother Qingrui, do you think I look like a sick person now?"
Yun Qingrui looked at him and thought he was in good spirits, but he still tried to speak tentatively.
"Are you really okay? I've long suspected you were involved in the war in the northwest. I don't know the specific circumstances of the war, but I know your character. You would never sit idly by and watch Tianyuan's territory being invaded by the Northern Wing."
Jun Moye nodded when he heard this, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I did suffer some injuries during that battle, but with Chuchu by my side, I didn't suffer any fatal injuries. The so-called "live beyond 30" was just a cover-up."
When Jun Moye said this, Su Hanchu looked at him in surprise. It seemed that Yun Qingrui's relationship with her husband was indeed very unusual. She actually revealed such a big secret.
Yun Qingrui finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"That's good, Ah Ye. I know you won't see me easily. I think you're seeing me now because the people watching you secretly have withdrawn. But if there's anything you need me to do for you, just tell me directly. I've been waiting for you to come back for a long time."
At this time, Qingzhi also brought the food.
Jun Moye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slight smile.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. You just came back from court, so you must not have had lunch yet. Let's eat first."
Yun Qingrui had no mind to eat at this moment. His best friend whom he hadn't seen for many years finally came back. His heart was full of joy and he didn't feel hungry at all.
"Let's talk business first. Ah Ye, after all, the Imperial City is crowded with people and there are many eyes. It's the same if I go back to eat..."
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
"Brother Qingrui, don't worry. You can reminisce as much as you want today. No one outside saw us enter Yue Manting. It's safe enough here. Not to mention people, not even a fly can fly into this backyard."
Yun Qingrui understood as soon as he heard it. Yuemanting was Madam Li's property. Madam Li was from the northwest. It was probably that the two of them had a close relationship with General Li. This was also good, as there would be one more person to help A'ye in the future.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and eat first."
Because Yun Qingrui was in a hurry to discuss something, the meal was eaten quickly.
After the meal, Qingzhi tactfully cleared away all the tableware and brewed a pot of fine hot tea for everyone.
Yun Qingrui couldn't wait to speak to Jun Moye.
"Aye, can you tell me now? What can I do for you?"
Jun Moye spoke solemnly after hearing this.
"Brother Qingrui, this time, I do have an important matter for you to help me with. The Crown Prince is the most powerful of the several princes in the Imperial City. Although some of the other princes are certainly ambitious, they dare not show their edge under the suppression of the Crown Prince. The balance of the situation needs to be upset in order to muddy the waters. Only then can I find an opportunity to overturn the verdict of the Qin Palace."
Yun Qingrui fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"Aye wants me to choose a team. Do you have a choice?"
Jun Moye shook his head when he heard this.
"No, Brother Qingrui, you are the Prime Minister of Tianyuan. You can only be loyal to the Emperor. Taking sides is not suitable for you. I need someone to make the Emperor of Tianyuan interested in the forces of Baise City."
Yun Qingrui frowned slightly when he heard this and spoke.
"Aye, the emperor is already somewhat wary of you. If..."
Jun Moye continued speaking with a smile.
"Brother Qingrui, we are currently in a passive position. We need to demonstrate our value in order to be used by others. The 200,000-strong army of Baise City is indeed a temptation, but also a fear. Do you think Emperor Tianyuan would be tempted if he had the opportunity to subdue them?"
