Chapter 503 Intercede (Part Two)
"Don't think about it, the case of Xichang Mansion is coming soon!" The old monk patted Qin Wubing and said, "You should look at other cases first, besides, the Beiyuan Mission will arrive in Beijing in a few days , do you dare to leave at this time? Be careful when you come back, your wife will be gone!"

"Seventh Uncle!" The eldest princess frowned displeased.

The old monk immediately coaxed: "Seventh Uncle is just trying to scare him so that he won't keep thinking about going to Xichang Mansion!"

Qin Wubing immediately regained his spirits: "Uncle Seven, do you know when the Northern Yuan Mission will arrive?"

The old monk shook his head: "I calculated this by myself. It's been a while since I heard that today, and they didn't wander over from Beiyuan, but when they will arrive, you have to ask the officials of Honglu Temple."

The eldest princess pursed her lips and said, "It should be the day after tomorrow to Beijing."

Qin Wubing stared: "Do you know if you know?"

The eldest princess stared back and asked, "What's the use of telling you?"

Qin Wubing immediately put on a smiling face and said, "I'm also prepared..."

"What are you preparing for?" the Eldest Princess tilted her head and asked.

The old monk immediately patted Qin Wubing excitedly and said: "Let's wait outside the city early, dig a few holes, tie a few ropes, and give them a big blow!"

"Seventh Uncle!" The Eldest Princess was really anxious.

The old monk straightened his back and said: "They dare to think about you, Uncle Qi will be the first to refuse! This incident alone is enough for them to die a few times back and forth! The big deal is a war, and now the treasury is full of silver. Can't they make it?!"

Seeing that the Eldest Princess was a little annoyed, Qin Wubing hurriedly advised:
"Seventh uncle's brain can't turn around, don't worry, it's actually simple for me, war is a matter of victory or defeat, there will be losses, especially the soldiers, the money can be lost, and the people can be lost. Yes! Your Majesty loves his people like his son, he is a good emperor, how could he easily let the soldiers guarding the border pass risk their lives?"

The old monk was stunned.

Qin Wubing said again:
"If it is said that because of Yu'er's improper handling of this matter, a war broke out, and even one of the border soldiers lost his life, Yu'er and I would feel guilty. This is no different from the Beiyuan invasion. We must rise up and resist. Weiguo! If I can, I will also go to the battlefield, but if the war is caused by the two of us digging a hole and tying a rope, Uncle Qi, I am afraid that we will be "lived forever"!"

The old monk stuck his neck and asked: "What if they refuse to retreat? Are you really going to let Yu'er marry?"

Qin Wubing immediately became anxious: "If you don't want to retreat, force them to retreat! Are all men dead? Let a woman protect the country?"

"I can understand what you said," the old monk hurriedly said, "but those officials may not understand it! Think about it, if they understand this truth, how can there be so many marriages in history? Which time did they not feel that they used a woman?" There is really no need to go to war for things that can be easily resolved, and the main thing is that they cannot be defeated.”

"Don't talk about the past, just talk about the present!" Qin Wubing was very serious: "The emperor is a wise king! And the treasury has just been filled. If the purpose of the Beiyuan mission's trip is to talk about peace, then let's have a good talk, and you come and go to bargain. It is inevitable for you to scare me a few words, and for me to scare you a few words, but if they have no good intentions and want to take the opportunity to blackmail them, it is not my private matter with Yu'er. We can't be the first to pick it up."

The old monk snorted and asked, "Then what should I do if I want to vent my anger?"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and said, "Wait until they arrive. They'd better not give me a chance. If they give me a chance, they can't blame me!"

The Eldest Princess pursed her lips and smiled.

Seeing this, the old monk said urgently, "Why don't you talk about him?"

The Eldest Princess smiled and said, "He has a measure."

"Cut! It seems that I only know how to cause trouble!"

"Why didn't you see brother Jiu today?" Qin Wubing changed the topic.

The eldest princess hurriedly said:

"The bureaucracy is so busy now that the officials in the capital are reviewing one by one. The local officials are more troublesome. There are too many documents to read. Which officials will be accused and which officials will stay. The emperor will leave it to Brother Jiu to decide. You said you can see Brother Nine?"

"Then you have time to tell Brother Jiu to pay attention to rest, you can't become fat if you eat in one bite, take your time!"

Princess Dachang nodded and said with a sudden smile: "This time the officials know that the emperor is in a rage, but no one dares to talk nonsense to the emperor, and no one dares to stop brother Jiu..."

"They are guilty!"

The old monk suddenly asked Qin Wubing seriously: "Compared to Lao Jiu, am I a bit... trash?"

"Seventh Uncle said that! How did Zhu Shengwen and Qu Liang be caught? How did Chen Ying and his son be arrested? Isn't it all due to Seventh Uncle?" Qin Wubing answered seriously.

The old monk laughed out loud, very satisfied.

……

A few people chatted and laughed and arrived at the house. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiaofu greeted him and said, "Seventh Young Master has a visitor."

Not only Qin Wubing was surprised, even the old monk was puzzled, he asked: "Is there anyone else who dares to come to Qin's house as a guest?"

The guest was brought by Guo Yi, and he had met Qin Wubing before. It was Sun Ji who was beaten up by Guo Yi when he made a mockery of Qin Wubing at the Yongcheng Hou Mansion that day.

Qin Wubing was somewhat unexpected, but also somewhat understandable. Right now, the Beijing officials are panicking...

Entering the second courtyard, Qin Wubing saw Guo Yi at a glance, and Guo Yi was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Since Guo Yi became an official, he rarely had time to come to Qin's house. Even if he came, it was rare to meet Qin Wubing. The two of them had indeed not seen each other for some time.

"Why is Second Brother standing in the courtyard?" Qin Wubing walked over.

Guo Yi heard the movement and hurried over to welcome him. First he bowed to the old monk and the eldest princess, then he went to Qin Wubing and said in a low voice:
"In the past few days, the threshold of the Marquis of Yongcheng's mansion has been stepped down. My grandfather has already hid in Zhuangzi. Sun Ji looked for me several times. Before leaving, my grandfather said that he is the only one who can help. I thought about it again and again. That's why I brought him to you!"

Qin Wubing asked: "Second brother has some friendship with him?"

Guo Yi nodded: "When we played together since childhood, he has a straight temper, just like the big brother, third brother, don't worry about him talking nonsense that day..."

"Second brother's friend is my friend, let's go in first, it's impolite to let others wait."

The old monk knew that the person who came was the one who mocked Qin Wubing that day, so he went directly to play with Lin Huai, and the eldest princess went directly to the east wing where she always stayed.

……

In the study, Qin Shouwang and Qin Yucheng were accompanied by the restless Sun Ji. The three of them were uncomfortable and had nothing to talk about. They couldn't go together if they wanted to chat about household matters.

Qin Wubing entered the room and saw the three fidgeting, smiled and shook his head.

Seeing that Qin Wubing had returned, Qin Shouwang and Qin Yucheng got up at the same time, excused that they had something to do, and left the study.

Sun Ji also stood up, he was taller than Qin Wubing, and he was born in martial arts, so he was mighty and upright, but at this moment he seemed embarrassed and had no momentum to speak of.
