Chapter 231 Ye Weiyang's Mess (4600 words)
While waiting for Xi'er to come to the door.

Qing Shisan walked out of the shadows, with a faint cloud of smoke behind him.

"My lord, there is something moving about that person today."

"Tell me."

Now that there are no ravens in the sky, and Ye Weiyang is almost paralyzed, Qing Shisan no longer has to borrow a step to speak in the Red Palace. He walked straight to Zheng Xiu, smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Today, a deaf man, When the blind and the lame entered the city, they went to the blind Chen Wei's bone-groping stall and secretly slipped him a letter."

"What's written in it?"

Qing Shisan smiled wryly and spread his hands: "My lord is in a dilemma."

"Yes. Then?"

"Later, the lame, blind, and deaf went away separately. The blind and deaf were begging on the street and were sent away by the officers and soldiers, and went to the Dali Temple to spend the night. The lame secretly met a woman."

"Ok?"

Zheng Xiu snorted softly, waiting for the next sentence.

Qing Shisan pretended to sigh and said, "Perhaps the prince was disappointed. I didn't see the 'blond hair warm bed compatriot from the Western Regions, young fair-skinned servant girl' he said, ahem, a pair."

After he finished speaking, he blinked hard.

"Be serious...it's different now, you are the prince's man now."

Zheng Xiu glared at Qingpi.

Qing Pi's face turned serious, thinking it made sense, and he straightened his back a little, and continued: "My lord taught me a lesson. Later, I hid in a corner and secretly listened, and the cripple called that woman...'empty'."

null?
The dead memory suddenly attacked Zheng Xiu, this word made Zheng Xiu frowned: "Chu Susu?"

"Oh? The prince knows?"

"It's a matter of fate."

Zheng Xiu didn't explain much.

He gradually remembered his experience in Shuzhou.

Seeing Chu Susu again now, she may not recognize herself.

By the way, including Qing Shisan, many people in Zheng's residence more or less guessed that Zheng E and Zheng Shan were both disguised by Zheng Xiu, but Zheng Xiu didn't publicly confirm this, they all pretended not to know, The same is true for Qing Shisan.

Perhaps the prince has some other hobbies, such as pretending to be a child and playing with the maids at home.

Apart from Qing Shisan, the rest of the Zheng family also noticed that something was wrong. Ever since the master fell ill, the young master hadn't appeared for a long time.Occasionally, Erniang would laugh at Pingping's crazy talk when she said that she wanted to be the young master's nanny, which made Pingping shy, inexplicably imagining the bizarre scene of being the master's nanny, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to get into the cracks.

In short, with regard to Zheng Xiu's matter, no one else dared to ask more questions, and everyone knew it.

Anyway, not a bad thing.

If the "young master" appeared, they might be able to let go more.

Closer to home.

Qing Shisan came to convey the news so far, and Zheng Xiu did not give any further instructions.Qing Shisan tentatively asked: "My lord, that blind Chen Wei seems to be testing my lord, does my lord plan to meet, or simply... huh?" Saying this, Qing Shisan wiped his neck with a smile , grinning and making a vivid "ga" sound.

It just means bluntly.

"No need for now."

Zheng Xiu thought for a while, then shook his head.

Qing Shisan nodded calmly.

But in his heart, he understood in seconds, secretly thinking that the prince is really interested in the "a pair of young and fair-skinned maids from the Western Regions who warm the bed with blond hair".

After Qing Shisan withdrew, after a while Xi'er arrived at the Red Palace excitedly.

"The tailor, Xi'er, has seen the prince."

Xi'er cried out delicately, her eyes were moist, the corners of her mouth were curved, her eyebrows were pointed, and she looked very happy.She first saluted Prince Zheng, then looked around, as if she was looking for something.

Zheng Xiu asked, "What are you looking for?"

Xi'er lowered her head and hung the curtain: "I heard that Senior Zheng Shan is back."

Zheng Xiu's heart skipped a beat: "Who did you hear that from?"

"Brother Thirteen accidentally slipped the tongue." Xi'er Xia Fei's cheeks, a gentle smile: "Last time in Shuzhou, Xi'er didn't have time to apologize and thank Senior Zheng Shan."

Zheng Xiu recalled it.

The apology refers to the fact that she was on the opposite side as Yueyan at the time.Thanks means that Zheng Shan's attacks deliberately avoided Yueyan, allowing Yueyan to return to the capital safely and alive.

Xi'er didn't see the clue?Zheng Xiu secretly complained in his heart, this girl looks clever, but her nerves are quite strong.This Qing Shisan is also talkative, it was definitely intentional and careless.

Zheng Xiu coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and said in a deep voice, "Zheng Shan..." No, Zheng Xiu thought about his seniority.Since Xi'er didn't see it, Zheng Xiu didn't intend to explain further, so he said, "My uncle Shenlong didn't see the end, so he's not here now."

"Oh." The disappointment on Xi'er's pretty face couldn't be concealed, but she soon regained her composure, remembered the business, and said with a smile: "My lord, the purpose of summoning Xi'er this time is for the matter that was ordered not long ago?"

"Return to the prince." After receiving a positive reply, Xi'er began to count on her fingers: "Since the mysterious disappearance of the night master, Ye Weiyang has become a mess. Xi'er has contacted one by one these days. After Ye Weiyang' will be under the command of the prince, they have different reactions."

"Sit and talk."

Zheng Xiu pointed to the side seat and signaled Xi'er to sit down, don't be reserved.

"Thank you, Lord."

It is impossible to be cautious, but the meaning on the surface is still necessary.As soon as the prince said to grant the seat, Xi'er limply pressed her buttocks on the chair.

At this time, Yin Qingqing was wearing a light cyan skirt, and brought two cups of tea expressionlessly.

"Huh?" Xi'er glanced at Yin Qingqing, wondering.She usually doesn't live in the prince's mansion, so she doesn't know when there will be a strange maid in the mansion.But Xi'er didn't ask much.

I saw Xi'er's five fingers spread out, the middle finger bent towards the palm, invisible and colorless silk threads shot out from the sleeve, the tea lid was lifted out of thin air, hanging in the air.She took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and secretly glanced at Yin Qingqing from the corner of her eye.

Yin Qingqing lowered her head, showing no reaction to Xi'er's move.

It's an insider.Xi'er was drinking tea, and after secretly confirming this point, seeing that the prince had no intention of letting Yin Qingqing back down, after thinking about it for a while, she continued:
"December of these years has been contacted by the ravens in person, and now all the ravens in the world have died, and the old part of Ye Weiyang is scattered all over the place. Except for the old part in the north, the other old parts in the east, west and south are happy for a while. It’s also hard to get in touch with him.”

Of course, Zheng Xiu deliberately asked Yin Qingqing to be present.

Yin Qingqing is now his person, and it is also the bridge between him and the emperor.Not long ago, the emperor sent "jade chopsticks" to urge Zheng Xiu to do things. Now that Zheng Xiu is dealing with Ye Weiyang's mess with dignity, it is necessary for these achievements to "unintentionally" reach the emperor's ears.

Well, that's what the prince should do.

Zheng Xiu drank tea calmly and praised himself in his heart.

"As for the old December..."

Xi'er's "undercover" these years is not for nothing, she counted on her fingers: "Shang Xianyi, I asked many people, and my sister who has been sitting in the 'wall water' position for ten years told me that she also never She has never seen Shangxian Yi, it is almost a legend, she even doubts whether there is such a character."

"Shangxian [-], it is said that before Shangxian [-] entered Ye Weiyang, he was the number one expert in Ye Weiyang. Ever since Master Fengbei entered Ye Weiyang, he seldom attended work, no different from retiring."

"Shangxian Sanfengbei lives in the prince's mansion, needless to say." Xi'er narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Shangxian Si, 'Shadow Opera' Jun Buxiao, not long ago I had a grievance with Master Fengbei in Shuzhou, and now I am back in the imperial city, singing in the opera troupe, since the death of Raven, it seems that he has not returned to Yeweiyang Intend."

"Shangxian Wu, the 'living dead' Situ Yong, takes the path of a 'healer'. Although he receives Ye Weiyang's salary, but Xi'er heard that he gave Raven to... Xi'er made a "one size fits all" action with lingering fear, and said fearfully, "It's been cut. It is said that he is a strange person who only treats difficult and miscellaneous diseases and does not go to work."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiu couldn't help frowning: "Situ Yong is Ye Weiyang's man?"

Xi'er giggled: "To be honest, Situ Yong didn't give Ye Zhu face much, he only made a name for himself, but he never did anything about Ye Weiyang. But in Ye Weiyang, if someone was injured in the past, Situ Yong was not stingy." If you take a rescue, you can barely count as half of Ye Weiyang's old department."

"As for Shangxian Lu," Xi'er said here, with a bit of worry in his eyes: "He is half of Xi'er's master. When Xi'er was late at night, he was the one who led me to the door."

"How is this person?"

"He is straightforward and helpful. He is a rare good person." After sending a "good person card" to Shang Xianlu, Xi'er said worriedly: "But he disappeared later."

"About half a year ago, shortly after Feng Bei and Senior Zheng Shan and I went south to search for cannibal paintings, there were rumors of barbarians harassing the frontier in the north, and there seemed to be something wrong with it. Yezhu ordered him to go, So far, there is no news, and life and death are unknown."

Another order from the Lord of the Night.

Zheng Xiu always felt that the candles were arranged everywhere, and he felt a little anxious when he heard this.

"The above is the 'First Quarter Moon' in Ye Weiyang's old department. Every member of the First Quarter Moon has at least the strength of 'Little Heaven'."

The celestial position and the star position are evaluated by the combat power unit "Shenwu Soldier". Zheng Xiu has always scoffed at this set of strength evaluations.A thaumaturgy's technique cannot be measured by common sense "strength" at all, just take him as an example.Now that he has shot with all his strength, it's easy for Jun Buxiao to hit the "Shangxian Si", he can't deliberately go to the barracks to judge the big one, can he?

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu didn't care what Xi'er said about "what the hell is the heavenly position", and nodded, motioning for Xi'er to continue.

"As for the last quarter moon in the past, the first quarter, the second quarter, the third quarter, and the fifth quarter were usually the most diligent. They almost all ran north and south, and it was difficult to contact them for a while. The only thing Xi'er knew was 'the fourth quarter' , "Gu Qiutang" who is known as "not moving the sword", his swordsmanship is superb, and he is amazing with martial arts." Xi'er didn't know that Zheng Xiu had fought Gu Qiutang before, and after explaining Gu Qiutang's origin ,sidewalk:
"In Shu Prefecture, Gu Qiutang had a grudge against Master Fengbei, and now he is living in seclusion in a valley thirty miles away. I sent someone to deliver a letter to him, but the messenger said that after reading the letter, Gu Qiutang refused to return to Ye Weiyang and decided to go back to Ye Weiyang. Concentrate on comprehending the saber technique, and you can't get out of retreat."

"Except for December, the 28 constellations have always been connected by Yezhu single-line. Except for a few people Xi'er is familiar with, the rest are scattered in the east, west, north, south, and if you want to regroup... With all due respect, it is better to let Thirteen Brother find A few good players in the family will come on top."

What she meant was that there are a lot of "stars" who are not as good as the assassins of the Brotherhood.

"Xi'er also learned that there are many former night guards in the imperial city who are now out of work, so they are frowning. Some are performing arts on the street, some are doing odd jobs in restaurants, and some are returning to their hometowns to work in agriculture. People's hearts are scattered."

It took Xi'er more than a month to inquire about Ye Weiyang's current state, and now she has told Zheng Xiu all about it.Zheng Xiu figured out the "potholes" of Ye Weiyang's current situation in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling that this is the disadvantage of "single-line communication". Zhu seems to not trust anyone, and has always used "Raven" to issue orders and communicate remotely. Manipulating this huge organization, once the "crowman" died, Ye Weiyang collapsed in an instant, much faster than Zheng Xiu imagined.

When Zheng Xiu killed the crowman, he didn't expect to kill Ye Weiyang directly.

There's just one big mess left.

This is really a bit... hard to describe.

Although Zheng Xiu felt that the title of "Red King" was dispensable, but during this period of time, before Zheng Xiu did his work, the emperor had indeed given Zheng a lot of benefits in advance.Coupled with the entanglement with Zhu, Zheng Xiu has now decided to take over this mess. Maybe after revitalizing this mess, the Zheng family's status in Daqian will rise to an unprecedented level.

"You inform all the old ministries who are willing to follow the new master to gather at the East Campus before sunrise in ten days' time."

before sunrise?

Midnight?
Xi'er felt that this time was weird, but she nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.

"Okay, my lord."

Thinking over and over again, Zheng Xiu pondered Xi'er's words, and he suddenly remembered that Xi'er seemed to have missed something.

"By the way, where is Xia Xianlu?"

Zheng Xiu stayed in the painting for a hundred years, as if he was demented, and forgot about killing the two Xiaxian Lus in a short period of time.

Xi'er showed a strange expression when she heard this: "The current Xia Xianlu is not very usable."

"Who?"

"The Dou Xie from before. The prince should have seen it at the reunion banquet, that unrestrained little boy, a 'literati' way, always copying books."

"Oh," Zheng Xiu remembered, the one who always vomited and was beaten.So Zheng Xiu nodded and agreed: "That's true."

"After that ten days, do you want to call him?"

Xi'er asked hesitantly.

"...Call it, it's always good to have one more person who can resist beating."

"Okay my lord."

Xi'er called the prince wise.

Everyone is here, Zheng Xiuliu Xi'er will have dinner at the house tonight.

Xi'er looked left and right, but she still didn't see Senior Zheng Shan, so she couldn't help being somewhat disappointed.

There are many people in the Chiwang Mansion, and the back kitchen cooks a big pot.But only Zheng Erniang, Fengbei, and the four maidservants were eating in the main hall, these family members who were familiar with Zheng Xiu in the past.

Qing Shisan and other brothers, as well as other maids in the mansion, started cooking separately.

After Yin Qingqing served the dishes, she silently went back to her room to eat alone.

At the dining table, Xi'er stared dumbfounded at an orange cat, who swaggered to sit on the table, and in front of her was a bowl of steamed scallion-flavored fish. The orange cat held a pair of jade chopsticks with its paws, nimbly holding the fish, and poured it into its mouth. Plug, making a popping sound.

Xi'er looked at the cat's human-like posture, her mouth was open and unable to close for a long time.

The most outrageous thing is that the pair of jade chopsticks are engraved with the word "Yuci".

These fucking are the chopsticks bestowed by the emperor!

She quickly recognized that it was the "soul-inducing lamp" that Fengbei had adopted before.

No, it's different from her fat boy!

This one can use chopsticks!

At the dinner table, Xi'er dared to ask, how did the prince teach the orange cat to use chopsticks.

Zheng Xiu said lightly: "Just throw the chopsticks to it."

So Easy?
Xi'er nodded secretly, and decided to go back and try.

After dinner, Xi'er resigned, saying that she was going home to practice liver thaumaturgy.

Seeing such motivated subordinates, the prince felt relieved, and added Xi'er's monthly money on the spot.

When Xi'er heard about the money increase, she became more motivated to do things. She patted her bulging chest and promised that she would do her best in ten days to build up her relationship and invite Ye Weiyang's old department to the East Campus.

Sometimes the existence of the identity of "undercover" is not all a bad thing.

Especially the undercover who almost jumped onto the stage and made both parties know it well.

At this time, undercover agents are not all undercover agents, they should be called "middlemen".

For example, Yin Qingqing is the middleman between the Great Emperor and the Red King.

When Xi'er was Yueyan, she was the middleman between Zheng Shi and Ye Weiyang.

Under the busy work of the middleman, Xi'er was in charge of matchmaking, and almost all of the former Ye Weiyang's old department agreed to gather at the East School Field before the cock crowed ten days later.

But on the way, Xi'er sent back news that there is a person in December who can be contacted so far, who is quite troublesome and unwilling to return.

Tear off the secret letter, throw it into the brazier and burn it to ashes.Zheng Xiu recalled the contents of the secret letter.

"Gu Qiutang, right? I don't feel bad about this person."

Zheng Xiu lay on the grand master's chair with his hands crossed. The golden vines on the table were full of greenery, and the little orange cat jumped on the table to fiddle with the greenery curiously.

"Then, I'll go and ask for it myself."

Zheng Xiu laughed.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
