Lu Qing looked in the direction where the voice came from.
I saw several figures standing in front of the window of a restaurant not far away, looking at the street below.
Lu Qing knew two of them.
It was Chief Steward Wei and the county magistrate Yan Canghai.
As for the person who just spoke, he was a young man in elegant clothes, about twenty years old, with a face vaguely similar to Yan Canghai.
Behind him stood several guards with extraordinary auras and innate abilities.
Hearing the words of the elegant young man, Yan Canghai's face did not look very good.
"Seventh brother, what exactly is your purpose for coming here? Can you tell me now? You didn't come here just to laugh at my joke, did you?"
"Why? We are brothers after all. As a younger brother, can't I come to visit my older brother?"
The elegant young man said with a smile.
"Brother?" Yan Canghai finally couldn't help himself and sneered, "The reason why my father banished me here was because of a trap set by you brothers, wasn't it?"
"You can't say that, Fourth Brother."
The young man in fancy clothes was not angry, and continued to smile: "At the beginning, we only mentioned the secret, but you couldn't help but go to ask father about it, breaking his taboo.
How can you blame us for setting up a trap to harm you in such a situation?
If you weren't so curious, you wouldn't have been banished here by your father. ”
Yan Canghai was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Because he knew that if he really thought about it, this matter was more of his own fault.
After a long while, Yan Canghai took a breath.
"Okay, I won't argue with you about this, but don't beat around the bush with me.
Tell me the truth, what is the purpose of your coming here this time?
Besides, your father's birthday is coming soon. If you come out now, aren't you afraid that the other people will steal his favor? ”
Yan Canghai said.
"It seems that Fourth Brother is still very resentful of me, so I might as well speak frankly."
The young man in fancy clothes finally straightened his expression and said, "I came here this time just for my father's birthday.
I want to prepare a special birthday gift for my father, and I hope you can help me, fourth brother. ”
Yan Canghai was startled, then sneered: "What kind of treasures can there be in my remote place?
Besides, Yan Cangshan, why should I help you?
If there really is a treasure, wouldn’t I offer it to my father myself? ”
"Fourth brother, you did a lot of things back then. Do you think that just a birthday gift will calm father down?
I'm afraid that my father will be furious as soon as he sees your name? ”
The young man in Chinese clothes asked back.
Yan Canghai was silent.
He knew that his father was still angry about what he had done.
This point has always been mentioned in the letters written by my mother.
He also repeatedly warned him not to return to the capital until his father's anger had completely subsided.
Even when writing letters, you should write less and try to reduce your presence.
Otherwise his father might remember it one day and punish him again.
Seeing that he was silent, the young man in fancy clothes said, "Fourth brother, you should understand that without the transfer order from our father, you cannot leave Cang County, unless you want to give up your royal status."
Yan Canghai continued to remain silent.
Giving up one's royal status means giving up everything.
Not to mention whether the Yan family would agree, even if they agreed, my mother would probably be implicated.
"So, Fourth Brother, if you help me this time, when I ascend the throne, I can revoke the royal family's punishment on you.
Let you go wherever you want, whether it is returning to the capital or traveling around the world, it is all up to you.
It's even possible to give you a fiefdom. ”
The young man in Chinese clothes said.
"Ascend to the throne?" Yan Canghai looked at the young man in fancy clothes, smiling, "Father is still in good health, are you so sure that you can ascend to the throne?"
"Don't worry about this, Fourth Brother." The young man in fancy clothes said calmly, "But I can tell you that not long ago, I have obtained the support of 'Tian Lao'."
"Old Man Tian Lao has chosen to support you?!"
Yan Canghai was shocked when he heard this.
"That's right, and I have another piece of news for you, fourth brother.
Not long ago, the heaven and earth changed, and the old man "Tian Lao" felt something.
He successfully overcame the obstacles and advanced to a realm above the innate. ”
“A realm above the innate!”
Yan Canghai's body shook again.
"Yes, a realm above the Xiantian realm." The young man in fancy clothes said, "So, fourth brother, do you still think that I have no chance of ascending to the throne?"
Yan Canghai's expression suddenly became hesitant.
"Tian Lao" was originally the most powerful person in the royal family.
He has a great say in deciding who will be the king.
Now he has broken through to a realm above the innate level.
If he really expressed his support for Yan Cangshan, I am afraid that most of the remaining elders in the royal family would choose to support him.
Chief Steward Wei, who was standing by, was also shocked.
But there was no expression on his face.
To be honest, although I heard such exciting news about who will be the king.
But until now, he still didn't know why the county magistrate asked him to come and accompany him.
Could it be that he wants the Wei family to participate in the fight for the throne?
"How do you want me to help you?"
After a long while, Yan Canghai suddenly said.
The young man in fancy clothes smiled and said, "Well, this is very simple. I heard that you and Lin Zhirui, the true disciple of Tianji Tower, get along very well and are close friends.
I heard that he is in Cangzhou, so I want you to introduce him to me. I need his help with something. ”
"You want to see Zhirui?"
Yan Canghai showed a very surprised look on his face.
He didn't expect that Yan Cangshan wanted him to help with this matter.
but……
He frowned and said, "Zhirui never likes to see outsiders. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do what you want."
"I know that disciples of Tianji Tower never interact with outsiders, but as long as Fourth Brother can help me introduce them, I will remember this favor."
"If you need Zhirui's help, why not tell me first? I'd like to hear if Zhirui is likely to agree."
The young man in Chinese clothes looked at Yan Canghai deeply, but his expression soon relaxed:
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that I got a map from some people by chance not long ago.
But there was a secret message on the map. I searched all the strange people in the capital, but no one could decipher the meaning of the secret message.
It is said that the disciples of Tianji Tower are the most knowledgeable.
He knows everything about astronomy and geography, and has the mysterious ability of calculation.
So I would like to ask Mr. Zhirui to help me figure out and decipher the secret code on the map. ”
"What kind of map is it that makes you take it so seriously?" Yan Canghai became even more curious.
The young man in Chinese clothes has already said this, so there is no need to keep it a secret any longer.
“I got this map from a small family that committed a crime.
There was nothing special about that small family, but one of their ancestors had produced a very remarkable person.
I wonder if you, fourth brother, have heard of the name Li Weitian? ”
After hearing this, Lu Qing finally understood.
Why did his heart suddenly feel a little nervous when he passed over the county town just now?
So here's the reason.
