"It's nothing. It's not a big deal. I'm just a commoner now. Even if something really happened, there's no need to report it to the emperor. Besides, I'm fine, right?" Zhong Mingwei said. He returned the letter to Kong Wenmin and paused. "If it's convenient, please ask Guard Kong to pass on a message to Lord Fang for me."
"Please go ahead." Kong Wenmin said.
"The major case of twenty years ago involved a wide range of people. Now that thirteen years have passed, let's not stir up trouble again." Zhong Mingwei said slowly.
"Yes, I obey your command." Kong Wenmin said. He stood up and said goodbye to Zhong Mingwei, "If you have no other instructions, I will go back first."
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything. He just nodded to him. At that moment, Kong Wenmin bowed to Zhong Mingwei and said goodbye, while Pang Yi escorted Kong Wenmin out of the yard.
"Guard Kong. Although I don't care about those criminals, I can't let them go." After leaving the door, Pang Yi lowered his voice and said to Kong Wenmin, "I am not the same as before. Not to mention my physical condition, I am the only guard around me. But after all, I am not the same as before. I have secret guards guarding me day and night, so I can't let those criminals go easily."
"Lord Fang meant the same thing," Kong Wenmin nodded, and said, "Since I have come to Ningguta, nothing can happen here. Lord Fang and the Imperial Guards are on alert and will keep a close watch on the Northwest Forest Farm in the future. Please rest assured, Brother Pang."
"Now that you say that, I can rest assured, right?" Pang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately patted Kong Wenmin on the shoulder and said, "I'll treat you two brothers to a drink some other day when I'm free."
"That's great. I was thinking of exchanging martial arts with Brother Pang," Kong Wenmin said with a smile, and then asked, "Brother Pang just said that he was going to move in a few days. Where are you planning to move to?"
"At the foot of Nanshan Mountain," Pang Yi said, "after all, this house is too small and a little too crowded, so I bought a three-story house at the foot of Nanshan Mountain a few days ago. Now it has been renovated and we can move in in a few days."
Kong Wenmin was a little surprised when he heard him say it was a three-story house. Ordinary people could probably live in a two-story house, but he didn't expect that the former prince could only live in a three-story house. And from what Pang Yi said, it was an old house that had been there for many years. Kong Wenmin couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic towards Zhong Mingwei, and said, "Nanshan is good, the terrain is flat, and it's convenient to get in and out. It's much better than living halfway up the mountain. If you need help with the move, just let me know, Brother Pang."
"Brother Kong, you are so polite," Pang Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard him say that. He pointed at the simple house behind him and said, "I can move everything in two trips. Why should I bother Brother Kong?"
Kong Wenmin was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. Indeed, what was there to move to in such a shabby yard?
"Goodbye!"
"Have a safe journey, Brother Kong!"
The two men then clasped their fists and said goodbye.
Pang Yi paced back and forth at the door for a long time before pushing it open.
"Master, why did the Prince of Pingxi suddenly want to return to the capital?" Pang Yi sat next to Zhong Mingwei and looked at him puzzledly. "Didn't the Prince of Pingxi go to the northwest and never return to the capital? In recent years, whether it was the Queen Mother or His Majesty's birthday, he was just a gift-giving team and never planned to come back in person. Why did he suddenly want to return to the capital this year? Is he really coming to celebrate the Queen Mother's 70th birthday?"
"I don't know." Zhong Mingwei shook his head.
He really didn't know. He had always known very little about this uncle whom he had never met. Apart from his military achievements, Zhong Mingwei knew nothing about him. So, he really didn't know why the King of Pingxi suddenly wanted to come to Beijing. But he also felt it was strange. He more or less understood the reason why the King of Pingxi had not returned to Beijing for so many years.
Zhong Zhiheng was suspicious and jealous. His younger brother, who had made many military achievements, was naturally a thorn in his side. However, the price to pay for eliminating King Pingxi was too high, whether it was tarnishing his reputation or causing unrest in the northwest. Therefore, Zhong Zhiheng had always maintained a superficial brotherly relationship with King Pingxi over the years. Fortunately, King Pingxi was not in front of him, so Zhong Zhiheng could not see him and was not annoyed. However, King Pingxi was not a fool, so he would not take the initiative to run to Zhong Zhiheng and put himself in danger. Therefore, he had not returned to the capital over the years.
