Prime Minister take care

Chapter 458 Silent
The cold night was quiet, and the carriage walked alone on the street.

There was no one around, and it seemed that no one dared to go out at this time.Meng Qing sat on the carriage and glanced through the gap in the window. The wide door of the mansion showed that the place where the carriage was now was the official residence.

The so-called official square is not an official term, but generally refers to private squares where dignitaries gather.

There were several official houses like this in Haojing City, and Meng Qing couldn't tell where he was at this time.The turmoil in the palace tonight cannot be hidden from others, especially the dignitaries with keen eyes and ears in Haojing City.

But without exception, they chose to turn a deaf ear.At this time, there was a curfew, and the folk houses had been closed. Meng Qing already knew someone who could open the ban at this time and even let a carriage pass between several folk houses.

"Marquis Guiyi, get out of the car!"

Lou Jing's voice sounded from outside. Meng Qing opened the car door and saw another similar carriage parked next to the carriage, but in the opposite direction.

There was also no one around, so Lou Jing jumped off the carriage and asked Meng Qing to get down.

Meng Qing got into another car and opened the door, but there was another person waiting inside.

Meng Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and bowed his hands.

"Prime Minister!"

Meng Qing did not ask Yang Xian why he was here instead of at the banquet in the palace. After bowing with some difficulty, he remained silent.

"sit down!"

Yang Xian looked very leisurely, sitting in the middle of the carriage, leaning on the leather mattress, looking a little lazy.

Following Yang Xian's words, Meng Qing sat down below Yang Xian.The car door was slowly closed, and Lou Jing once again acted as his coachman outside.

The carriage rumbled and headed in the opposite direction, but Meng Qing didn't know where Yang Xian wanted to take him?

Meng Qing was waiting, waiting for Yang Xian to speak.

"Zong Shi, do you know Liangzhou's night wine?"

"I've heard that this wine comes from a small country in the wilderness. Its people are very different from ours. They are the essence of grass and trees. Their skin is like charcoal wood and their flesh is like thick roots. They are especially good at making fine wines."

"Zong Shi is really well-informed. You must know that although the night wine is of the highest quality, since Zhu Zitong's wasteland, the night wine flowing into my Dazhou is measured in cups. A cup is worth a hundred gold!"

Yang Xian smiled, took out a wine flask from the cabinet on the side, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Meng Qing.

"Come, have a taste of this night's wine."

Meng Qing took the cup from Yang Xian's hand, and the wine in the cup showed layers of sparkling patterns under the night light.

Although Meng Qing looked calm on the outside, there was already a huge turmoil inside.Although Meng Qing has a wide range of knowledge, he does not have enough time to make a special trip to learn about this specialty that is only popular among a few people in a small country thousands of miles away from Liangzhou.

Ever since the Liangzhou Army opened up the wasteland and discovered dozens or hundreds of small countries, many specialties have flowed into the Zhou Dynasty.The reason why Meng Qing knew about Ye Chunjiu was because the business group under the Chang family was the first to sell Ye Chunjiu, an expensive commodity.

As far as Meng Qing knows, Ye Chunjiu is currently only controlled by the business group under Chang's command.But now it appears in Yang Xian's hands. What does this mean?
Meng Qing drank all the wine in the cup without even having time to feel the taste, and felt inexplicably flustered.

What happened tonight, Meng Qing was still unable to grasp the clearest clues to deduce the entire process.But now, except for the palace where the banquet was held, everything was very peaceful, so peaceful that it made Meng Qing go crazy.The man leaning on the leather mattress next to him seemed to be in control of everything, but he never said a word related to tonight's situation.

"Liangzhou had dozens of military leaders, and the situation was chaotic. Zhu Zi opened up wasteland and accumulated financial resources and wanted to reorganize the military. But in the end he was defeated and killed. Although it was because of Liang Jun, it was basically because he had offended Liangzhou. The leader of the army. Now everyone thinks that Chen He and He Qi started this rebellion, but Zong Shi should know that those two people are just pawns. Although because of Xu He's betrayal, Liang Jun was defeated and even became a joke. It's just that , Why did Liang Jun dare to invade Liangzhou so unscrupulously? Aren't they afraid that if the Yang Jue Pass was lost, barbaric beasts would invade, and the world would be in chaos?"

Meng Qing squinted his eyes, thinking about Yang Xian's words.Although the matter in Liangzhou was directed by the Huan family, Chang Yu was the one who finalized all the details.

The world only knows that Xu He defected to the Zhou army, causing Yang Xian to defeat Huan Zishan.After that, it took the Zhou army less than a month to completely control Liangzhou.

During this war, everyone was dazzled by the Zhou army's devastating offensive and could not see clearly what was going on.After Yang Xian said this, Meng Qing reacted.

yes!What confidence did Chang Yu have at that time that the defenders on Yangjue Gate could resist the demons?You know, at that time, because of Zhu Zi's death and Qin Yuan's assassination, the morale of the Yangjueguan defenders was at its lowest point.

That was the most dangerous moment. If the demons invaded Liangzhou at that time, everything would be in vain.Not to mention mastering the priceless trade route outside the wilderness, if the barbarian beasts flooded into Liangzhou, the whole world would become a mess, and Chang Yu would become the target of everyone's criticism.

It's impossible that Chang Yu didn't think of this risk, but he still dared to do it, unless he knew that the demons couldn't break the Yang Jue barrier.

But why would Chang Yu be so sure?
Meng Qing was thinking, but Yang Xian didn't bother him.He was thinking about the entire battle in Liangzhou.

After Zhu Zi's death, Qin Yuan was assassinated, and Zhu Zi's cavalry commander Ling Chuan took control of the entire Yang Jue Guan war.He did a very good job. After the two giants in Liangzhou were killed or injured, he successfully stabilized the morale of the army and resisted the invasion of the demon clan.

Then Yang Xian rushed to Yang Jue Pass and defeated the demons in one battle.
and many more!

Meng Qing thought of this and suddenly noticed something unusual.The name Lingchuan seems a little too conspicuous now.You know, he is the leader of the five cavalry troops who rushed into the palace tonight.

If according to Chang Yu's original plan, after killing Zhu Zi, Liang Jun only needs to resist Yang Xian for twenty days, and when all the original [-] troops from him enter Liangzhou one after another, then the matter will be settled.Then, Chang Yu would induce the defenders on Yangjue Gate to surrender to Daliang.

But, how to induce surrender?

How sure does Chang Yu have that he can get the fiery Liangzhou sergeant to surrender to the Liang army who had a grudge against them for killing their lord?

Is it just food?
Thinking of this, Meng Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.Then, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

This is an astonishing fact, but when combined with tonight's situation, it makes Meng Qing feel frightened.

Chang Yu planned a killing game. In this game, both Yang Xian and Huan Qing were pawns, and they were both beings to be eliminated.

But Yang Xian is here now, which means that the situation has been broken.Meng Qing could not capture the details, but there was no doubt that Yang Xian had already understood Chang Yu's situation and solved it quietly.

There was no time to think about who Yang Xian was at the banquet in the palace?The carriage has stopped.

"Zong Shi, get out of the car!"

Meng Qing got Yang Xian's words and did not dare to disobey him. He bowed slightly and got out of the carriage.

In front of him was a mansion, and the big Chinese character "Chang" was very clear.

After Meng Qing got out of the car, Lou Jing waved his riding whip, and the carriage drove away again, seemingly not caring about what Chang Yu would do next.
