Chapter 427: The Relocated Bonsai
An Jinge and Si Yan were resting on the couch in the outer room. When they heard the sound of tossing and turning in the room, they looked at each other.
An Jinge had previously received a letter from Mo Beiyuan, which mentioned that Emperor Yuanwu suddenly sent an envoy to deliver a letter to Mo Nanzhou, asking to marry Feng Huajun.
Emperor Yuanwu hoped that the person he sent to negotiate would be of appropriate status and be able to discuss the marriage between the two countries at the same time.
Originally, An Jinge and Feng Aoqing felt that Emperor Yuanwu's proposal to marry Feng Huajun at this time was a bit threatening. If Emperor Zhao Jing disagreed, then the negotiations would most likely not be able to proceed.
In fact, they felt that Emperor Yuanwu's purpose was very clear. He might have learned from the general of the Lengyan Army that the promotion of negotiations, the writing of plans, the establishment of factories, etc. were all related to Feng Aoqing. If I marry her, you, Zhao Jing, will have no place in the future.
If Emperor Zhao Jing did not agree to this marriage, it would mean that Zhao Jing did not want to divide Tianyi with Yuan Wu, and there might be a war between them in the future.
As a result, the relationship between the two countries is completely different.
An Jinge was still worried, until she found out that General Feng was Emperor Yuanwu, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the two were still worried about state affairs, but now they realize that there was no need to worry at all.
I'm asking for marriage just because I like you.
This is actually simple.
She also suddenly understood why Yu Tingfeng didn't dare to reveal his identity. He was probably afraid that Feng Aoqing wouldn't be able to accept it! After all, there was Han Lang as a precedent.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Feng Aoqing running hurriedly to the front room.
"Jin Ge! Si Yan!"
She was standing in the middle of the room barefoot, naked, and with disheveled hair.
Just as they were about to ask, they saw her make a gesture to keep quiet and just waved at them in the dark.
Feng Aoqing told them her thoughts in the briefest possible terms.
The two believed what she said.
"action."
The two of them climbed out from the back window. Feng Aoqing gently closed the window and sat on the couch.
I couldn't turn on the lights, so I could only sit in the dark.
After sitting for a while and calming down, he went back into the house to change his clothes.
Siyan originally wanted to jump directly into Yu Tingfeng's room, but he saw Yu Mingchang guarding outside the door, which meant there were two masters in the room. He decided to give up, lest he get pushed to the ground, which would be embarrassing. So he knocked on the window lightly.
"Who?" Yu Yichen's voice came.
"Si Yan."
Yu Yichen was obviously stunned for a moment. What was this woman doing here so late at night? The first thing he thought of was something bad.
"The master asked me to come." Siyan added.
Yu Yichen then opened the window and let Siyan in.
Yu Tingfeng has already put on his clothes and come out.
"What's wrong?" Yu Tingfeng asked anxiously.
Siyan pointed to the door.
Yu Tingfeng understood and called out to the door: "Ming, come in!"
Yu Mingchang answered "yes" and pushed the door open.
When he walked in and saw Siyan in the middle of the room, he almost screamed.
"Why are you here?" he asked in a low voice.
"Don't ask anymore, just listen to me! The master asked me to tell you that there is something wrong with this yard and that you should leave quietly!" Siyan interrupted him.
"What's the problem?" Yu Yichen's hand was already on the sword.
Siyan told them that Feng Aoqing felt that there was a fire bomb buried in the yard.
As for the reason, Feng Aoqing didn't have time to explain it to her in detail.
But when Siyan looked at the expressions of the three people, although she was surprised, she also felt as if she had suddenly realized something.
"Let's go to our yard first. It's safe there." Siyan said.
This was also arranged by Feng Aoqing, because the manor was an isolated garden with no other buildings nearby. Moreover, outside the high walls of the manor, there was a large open space surrounded by a forest far away. If someone left the house, they might be seen by the patrol guards before they hid in the forest.
So it is safer to hide in the manor.
"Master, no matter what, let's go first." Yu Yichen was sober. No matter whether it was true or not, it would be better to leave first.
"Let's go." Yu Tingfeng nodded.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Yu Mingchang did not move.
Siyan cursed at the bottom of her voice: "Do you want to take any more treasures? Go first! Your life is at stake!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Mingchang shook his head: "I'll stay."
"Are you sick? Fire bomb! Not an arrow!" Siyan turned around and wanted to pull him.
"That old thief knows us. He knows that one of us is guarding inside and the other is guarding outside. It has been like this for ten years. If there is no one outside the door, I'm afraid the fire bomb will not explode!" Yu Mingchang gritted his teeth.
"Then I'll stay!" Yu Yichen looked at the two of them and wanted to stay for Yu Mingchang.
"It's not time for the rotation yet, and you'll be exposed if you do." Yu Mingchang refused.
"Let's go first, it's okay if you want to be exposed! I can't leave you behind!" Yu Tingfeng also stepped forward.
"Master! You guys should leave quickly!" Yu Mingchang turned around and left without waiting for his master's consent.
Siyan took a step forward and held his hand.
This was the first time the two held each other's hands.
However, Yu Mingchang let go of Siyan's hand without even turning his head.
As usual, he bowed when he reached the door, then turned around, gently closed the door, and stood back in his original position.
Yu Tingfeng gritted his teeth and was unwilling to leave.
Si Yan said with red eyes: "Let him die in vain? Go!"
The three of them followed Siyan's route back to the yard where Feng Aoqing lived, and climbed in through the windows one by one.
Feng Aoqing couldn't hear their voices because they were too quiet, so she stayed by the window.
As soon as everyone came in, they saw her under the window.
"Feng Qing, how did you know?" Yu Tingfeng still didn't quite understand.
"The bonsai has been moved." Feng Aoqing answered briefly.
"What?"
"At first I didn't quite understand why the ones in your courtyard were so much worse than those in the garden. Logically, it shouldn't be that way. But just now, while I was sleeping, I suddenly understood. Yours is the main courtyard, so the bonsai are also the best. He loves these like his life and can't bear to see them destroyed. So he moved the good ones out and moved the inferior ones in."
"Ding Fu saw me looking at it and was afraid I'd show it, so he told me that it wasn't expensive. Only the things in the prince's house were expensive. These were ordinary things, taken care of by the gardener, but no gardener is truly exceptional! There's a pine tree that was modeled after the poem!"
"And there's probably another reason for moving, and that's to bury the fire bomb. After all, if we put it inside the house, or if we move the floor tiles, you'll definitely be able to see it. The muddy ground at the foot of the house is the best. If the bomb doesn't kill you, you'll be killed if the house collapses!"
Siyan heard it and saw that the man had already jumped out of the window again.
Seeing Feng Aoqing’s surprised face, Yu Tingfeng whispered: “Feng Ming, you have to stay there.”
Feng Aoqing was startled, frowned and said, "I hope it's me. I'm overthinking it."
"I couldn't figure it out either. I thought they lured me here to surround us, but when I checked, there was no one nearby. It turns out they weren't there to surround us."
"Even if we surround you, how can we stop you? If it were me, I wouldn't surround you either." Feng Aoqing's tone changed, and he was filled with resentment.
Yu Tingfeng wanted to explain, but now was not the time to explain.
"Also, yesterday Ding Fu rolled off his horse and ran away. Later he said he ran back to find someone to rescue him. Wasn't he too quick?" Feng Aoqing felt strange at the time.
"No wonder you seemed to be counting on the way to the manor, calculating the distance?" Yu Tingfeng remembered her behavior in the car at that time.
Feng Aoqing nodded.
