The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 127 The Unfathomable King

Yan Ning didn't know the relationship between Yang Xiaoli and Ning Susu, but a simple test, although Yang Xiaoli didn't say anything, was enough for Yan Ning to guess the relationship between the two.

If it was an ordinary friend, Yang Xiaoli would not be so nervous.

He is the head of the Silver Guard, and he grew up with the king. He is nervous about such a small matter?

Then what kind of guard is he?

The reason why he was nervous was because of the relationship between him and Ning Susu.

This should be a relationship of love.

Yan Ning didn't tell the truth, and said deliberately: "Susu said that Mr. Yang is enthusiastic about serving the people, he is a good official, and he takes good care of her at ordinary times. She is very grateful to Mr. Yang."

Yang Xiaoli asked: "That's all you said?"

Yan Ning suppressed a smile and asked, "Should she say anything else?"

"No."

Afraid of Yang Xiaoli's embarrassment, Yan Ning stopped helping her out of embarrassment, so she immediately changed the subject: "Then, can Master Yang help me with my matter?"

Yang Xiaoli hummed: "For the safety of his sister, Guo Xin does change places from time to time. Sometimes even our Silver Guards don't know where they live. If you go looking for them, it will take a lot of work. That's good, I'll take care of it." Find someone, after you find someone, bring his brother and sister to Yan's house, what's the matter, you can talk to them in detail, how about it?"

This is even better, Yan Ning said gratefully: "Thank you, then there will be Lord Lao Yang."

Yang Xiaoli said: "No need to work, no need to thank. In the future, Yang will be useful to Yan Meiren, and I hope that Yan Meiren can also lend a hand."

Yan Ning smiled and said, "Of course, it is my honor to help Master Yang."

Yan Ning thought about the help that Yang Xiaoli said was related to Ning Susu. If Yang Xiaoli really asked her for help, she would certainly be obliged to do so, even if he hadn't helped her in advance.

Yang Xiaoli clasped his fists and said: "Then I'll go first, and bring Guo Xin and his sister over at night at the latest."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Yan Ning called him again: "Master Yang."

Yang Xiaoli turned around and asked, "Is Yan Mei still busy?"

I have said that there is no need to call Yan Meiren here.

Yan Ning said: "I want to ask Mr. Yang, what is the character of Guo Xin?"

Yang Xiao thought for a while and said, "You want Guo Xin to be Yan Lang's book boy, right?"

Yanning nodded: "Yes."

Yang Xiaoli said: "So enough."

Although these four words did not give Guo Xin too much evaluation, these four words are enough to show Yang Xiaoli's approval of Guo Xin.

And the person who can be recognized by Yang Xiaoli will definitely not be bad in character.

Yan Ning said: "I know, then there is no problem."

Yang Xiaoli said no more, turned and left.

Yan Ning went back to the backyard to rest. Before the rest, Nian Die helped her remove the jewelry from her head, and when she took off the red jade hairpin and put it on the dressing table, Yan Ning glanced at it.

After looking at it for a while, she stretched out her hand and took the red jade hairpin in her hand to play with.

She probably understood the meaning of the king's gift of this hairpin.

But why did the king suddenly want to return to the palace?
This is a little strange.

With the king's intelligence, he should have understood her next plan. She wanted to teach him the art of geographies, and she wanted to teach him what she knew, but when he said that he would go back to the palace, although he didn't directly refuse, it was still true. Rejection in disguise.

Why refuse?

Wouldn't it be better to learn such a skill by yourself?
In fact, not only she couldn't figure out the unpredictable king, but even the prince who had been serving the king couldn't figure out the king's thoughts.

After Qi Hengyuan returned to the palace, Wang Gonggong asked a little boldly: "Why is Your Majesty returning to the palace at this time? It's only the third year of junior high school!"

Qi Hengyuan glanced at him, there was no disturbance in that glance, but the prince was still frightened and knelt down on the ground immediately.

The prince knocked his forehead to the ground and said, "It's the servant who is talking too much."

"Not too talkative."

Qi Hengyuan's light and ethereal voice passed over his head, and he also sat on the warm couch.

Every master's palace in the palace, especially the place where the king lives, is burned with earth dragons. Without such a troublesome stove, the house is all warm.

After Qi Hengyuan sat down firmly, he said to the prince, "Get up."

Wang Gonggong quickly thanked him and stood up.

Qi Hengyuan said: "Make a cup of tea."

The prince hurried to make tea again, and when the teacup was handed to the king, he said, "Your Majesty has something to do, so you're returning to the palace?"

"Also."

The king dropped two words, took the teacup, and drank slowly.

The prince didn't dare to ask any more questions, and stood quietly aside.

When Qi Hengyuan drank tea, what he thought of most was Yan Ning, sometimes sweet, sometimes angry.

Why did she teach him the art of topography?Not because she didn't want to stay.

She is planning to wait for the Yan family to return to Lanzhou Pass, and she will leave the palace together, right?

After she taught him the skills, when she wanted to leave the palace, he wouldn't stop her anymore, did she think so?

Oh, why did she think she could get out of the palace?
By his side, she could come and leave whenever she wanted?

Who does she think she is?

Who did she think he was again!
Qi Hengyuan sneered abruptly, and the father-in-law almost knelt again in fright.

Eunuch Wang bent his body a bit, held his breath, not daring to take a breath.

After Qi Hengyuan drank a whole cup of hot tea, the depression in his heart dissipated a little. He propped his forehead and fell asleep for a while, then went to read again.

After lunch, Chen Dongyan entered the palace.

This seems to have been discussed by the two of them in advance.

When Wang Gonggong saw Chen Dongyan, he seemed to understand why the king returned to the palace. It seems that His Majesty returned to the palace because of something, not because he was angry with Yan Meiren.

Qi Hengyuan glanced at Chen Dongyan and went to the imperial study.

Chen Dongyan followed in.

The prince was driven outside by the king.

Qi Hengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the window, looked out at the sky, and asked, "Is everything done?"

Chen Dongyan nodded: "Well, all the killers were executed, none of them ran away, and those killers did come from two factions, one is Jiang Guo, and the other is..."

When he said this, he stopped.

Qi Hengyuan swept over with his cold eyes, and said lightly: "The other force is Uncle Qi, right?"

Chen Dongyan raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the king.

Qi Hengyuan said: "I didn't know it before, but judging from your demeanor, I guessed it right, and the killer sent by Uncle Qi was specifically targeting the Yan family."

Chen Dongyan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has guessed everything correctly. The other force is indeed Uncle Qi, and the killer sent by Uncle Qi is indeed just to fight against the Yan family. Another batch of killers, so Jiang Guo didn't send any more killers, if Jiang Guo sent another batch of killers, the Yan family...maybe long ago...not one left."

Chen Dongyan learned of this news in the morning. When he heard the news, the first thing he thought of was that if Uncle Qi sent an assassin and Jiang Guo also sent an assassin, would Yanning still be alive? ?
The same is true of Qi Hengyuan's thoughts at this moment.

With only one group of killers, the Yan family can still be comprehensive, but if faced with two groups of killers, the Yan family may not be able to survive.

Not to mention that the men of the Yan family are still the ones he intends to use again, just talk about Yan Ning, if Yan Ning dies because of this, how much Qi will suffer, and how important he will lose.

Qi Hengyuan's dark and deep eyes seeped a cold chill, and he said coldly: "Uncle Qi has resentment towards the Yan family because of the death of Prince Qi, but he doesn't know that the battlefield is a very cruel place. Who can protect well? Living is glory, and death is also glory. As a member of Marquis Wu, the moment he rode his horse and rushed to the battlefield, he had already awakened to death in his heart, and those who have not awakened are not worthy of the battlefield. , as a father, he never understands his son, so it's no wonder why Shizi Qi never came back once he went to the border."

Chen Dongyan also felt that Uncle Qi did something wrong. The final reason for Qi Shizi's death in Lanzhou Pass was because of Jiang Guo. How could the responsibility be placed on the Yan family?
Uncle Qi Wang actually sent killers to assassinate the Yan family!
The Yan family has guarded Lanzhou Pass for generations, and at least five generations have sacrificed for it. The war between Jiang State and Qi State has never stopped. For so many years, without the Yan family, Lanzhou Pass would not be safe. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this The credit of the Yan family, after all, is in Lanzhou Pass, and there is Yuan Guanhou.

The Yuan family is also very powerful, and they have made great contributions to guarding Lanzhou Pass, but no matter what, the Yan family is the hero of Qi State, and they are the people that the royal family should be sympathetic to. Bearing grudges, even sending killers to assassinate, how chilling.

In the defeat of Lanzhou Pass four years ago, Yan Bin also lost his precious son, and in that battle, the nine passes and nine cities of Qi State were defeated, and even the first emperor died in the battle. The shame of the country, Qi should be more united and united with the outside world.

Uncle Qi extended his sharp blade to his own people, how stupid.

Chen Dongyan stood there with lowered eyes and did not speak. This person is Uncle Qi, how to deal with it is beyond his ability to say.

Qi Hengyuan didn't explain to Chen Dongyan how to deal with Uncle Qi Wang, he just had a sad expression after saying that sentence.

The royal family is not prosperous, and the country is not prosperous.

Qi Hengyuan clenched his fingers, and said: "Last time, we secretly protected these exiled Guanhou and Wuhou. This time we will protect them openly, and we will select some palace guards to serve as distribution officials to protect everyone's safety. If you meet a killer, you will be killed without mercy."

Chen Dongyan took the order and went down.

Qi Hengyuan turned around and sat in the chair. He didn't look for Uncle Qi, nor did he say anything to Uncle Qi, but all the killers sent by Uncle Qi were silenced. Soon after, the palace guards were dispatched and dispersed to the exiled Guan Houwu. Beside the lords, Uncle Qi, no matter how stupid he is, understands something——

The killer he sent was silenced by the king.

The king sent the palace guards to the exiled Guanhou and Wuhou to protect them.

This is also a disguised warning to him, if he dares to send another killer, he will not spare him.

The palace guards dispatched could have been silent, but Qi Hengyuan deliberately made Chen Dongyan make some noise in order to frighten Uncle Qi. Therefore, Uncle Qi knew about it that night.

Not only Uncle Qi, but everyone of some status in Guiyang City knew about this matter.

Yan Ning also knew about this, she was quite surprised.

She told Qi Hengyuan at the beginning that the Yan family was being assassinated, just to remind the king that if he still wants to use those people, he must protect them.

Of course, the original intention at the time was just to let the king take action and protect the Yan family.

What the king is doing now is far beyond her expectations.

And it was Yang Xiaoli who brought such a piece of news to her.

Yang Xiaoli was very punctual, after dinner, he brought Guo Xin and Guo Xi over in person.

Yan Ning met the siblings first, in the backyard, but she didn't call Yan Lang.

In the main room in the backyard, Yan Ning and Yang Xiaoli were sitting, Nian Die was guarding Yan Ning, Guo Xin took Guo Xi's hand, first glanced at Nian Die, then at Yan Ning.

Guo Xi's eyes also fell on Yan Ning.

Yan Ning glanced at Guo Xin, then at Guo Xi.

In the bookstore before, Yan Ning had met Guo Xin, but had never met Guo Xi. The proprietress of the bookstore said that Guo Xi was very beautiful, and looking at it now, she was indeed beautiful.

Small oval face, slender willow-leaf eyebrows, naturally charming appearance, slightly raised eyes, when looking at you, it seems that there is tenderness flowing from those pupils, making you unable to help but love and pity in your heart, this is a real deal beauty.

If she walks upright, it is true that she is a beauty, but if she does not sit upright, then she is not a beauty, but a disaster.

When Yang Xiaoli found Guo Xin, he told Guo Xin that Yan Ning wanted to buy him as Yan Lang's book boy. Guo Xin asked who Yan Ning was and who Yan Lang was.

Because of the victories in the three battles, people in Guiyang City are familiar with the name Yanmeiren, but they don't know what Yanmeiren's real name is.

Yang Xiaoli revealed Yan Ning's identity to Guo Xin, and Guo Xin came without saying a word.

Looking at the woman sitting there now, Guo Xin only thinks that this woman is really that powerful?
Although sitting, there is also a feeling of weakness.

Guo Xin was a little nervous, but also a little apprehensive, afraid that Yan Ning would look down on him.

He originally wanted to find a rich family to settle himself and his younger sister, but it was the first time he found a rich family, and the son of that rich family wanted to belittle his sister, so he never dared to find a so-called rich family again.

At that time, he didn't have a contract of prostitution, he just worked there, and later he ran out with his younger sister, not even asking for wages, but word spread about her beauty. Naturally refused.

Later, he and his sister were often harassed.

He then understood that maybe he had offended someone.

Who can he offend?

It's nothing more than the brother who wanted to belittle his sister, but failed, and held a grudge.

It's not that Guo Xin has never thought about finding a powerful family, but those families have fixed families and children, and they will not buy retail investors like him from outside.

In order to protect his sister's safety, he could only hide in hiding.

He didn't dare to go to work anymore, because he was afraid that his sister would be in danger if the bad guys saw her alone.

He used to do odd jobs in the bookstore, and one day he came back late and found that his sister was missing. Only he knew how panicked he was at that time.

Later, he stopped going. He felt that nothing was as important as his sister. The so-called reputation was not worth his sister's safety.

He doesn't want anything anymore, he stays with his sister every day, and steals some things to support the two of them, but he knows that this is not a long-term thing, and he has been waiting for an opportunity, and now, this opportunity has finally arrived, and he cannot lose it.

He tightened his grip on Guo Xi's hand nervously. Guo Xi felt her brother's strength increase in his hands and knew that he was nervous.

Guo Xin noticed her gaze, glanced at her, and gave her a reassuring smile.

Guo Xi smiled at him and reassured him.

The two brothers and sisters didn't speak, and looked quite indifferent. The two encouraged each other, but Yan Ning noticed the restraint, nervousness, apprehension, and even uneasiness that filled their bodies.

Yan Ning said softly: "Don't be nervous, I'm actually very happy that you can come."

She pointed to the opposite position: "Sit down, don't stand."

Then he said to Nian Die: "Pour two cups of hot tea over here, let Guo Xin and Guo Xi drink tea to warm up their bodies first, they must be a little cold coming from outside."

Both of them wore cotton-padded jackets, but they were very worn out and somewhat dirty. The trousers were also thick cotton-padded trousers. Guo Xi was a daughter, but she was also wearing thick cotton-padded trousers. Dirty look.

In the current situation of the two brothers and sisters, being able to keep warm is already very good, and they really can't pay attention to cleanliness.

Yan Ning was a little more satisfied with Guo Xin and Guo Xi.

Guo Xichang is good-looking, but not arrogant, and she doesn't dislike such ugly and dirty clothes, which shows that she knows what is most important. She is not a girl who only knows how to love beauty but ignores life. She knows how to choose and distinguish which is more important.

And Guo Xin can take good care of himself and his sister in such an embarrassing environment, and prevent the two of them from getting sick in such a cold winter, which is also very good.

Guo Xin lowered his hands and said, "Thank you."

Guo Xi also said thank you.

Yan Ning said: "Sit down."

Nian Die had already poured two cups of hot tea, and the brother and sister each took a cup and drank it seriously.

Nian Die looked at the two of them drinking tea seriously, wanted to laugh but couldn't help feeling distressed.

After the two finished drinking, Nian Die put away the cup, turned and left.

Yan Ning looked at Guo Xin and said, "I asked Mr. Yang for help. I think Mr. Yang explained what I mean when he found you. Then what do you think? I think you can come, which means you intend to do it." Bookboy's."

Guo Xin nodded: "I am willing to be a book boy. I will agree to any conditions you ask, but I also have one request."

Yan Ning glanced at Guo Xi, smiled and said, "If you become my younger brother's book boy, you will naturally live in Yan's house, and your younger sister will also live there. She can read, write, and do things within her power. If Mama Li needs help, she can just go and help, but her deeds, including yours, will be sold to me. After you become members of the Yan family, you can get a certain amount of monthly silver, and you will also be subject to The protection of the Yan family, and the food and clothing expenses will all be borne by the Yan family, if you think it is feasible, I will pass the test here, and see my younger brother in a while."
