Seeing Wang Yue say this, Chen Qingzhi felt a little more relaxed. He thought that Wang Yue's martial arts were so high that there would be no problem for him to escape. He no longer rejected Wang Yue's idea, but insisted that Wang Yue think of a new identity.
Wang Yue did not refuse. He also began to think about this matter. After all, Chen Qianzhi was right. It is better to be safe than sorry.
However, before he was ready, Mei Changsu came to him on his own initiative.
When Mei Changsu saw Wang Yue, he said very frankly, "Brother Wang, I am ready for revenge. Do you want to come with me?"
Wang Yue pretended not to know what was going on. He asked curiously, "What are you going to do? Is Prince Jing ready?"
Mei Changsu shook his head and said calmly, "I plan to go to Jinling with Xiao Jingyu on the pretext of recuperating. I plan to sow discord between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. After their strength is greatly weakened, I will push Prince Jing forward. This way, my chances are very high."
Wang Yue knew the whole process, of course. He asked curiously, "It's a good idea, but if it's like this, Daliang might be in chaos. Can you really bear it?"
Mei Changsu looked at Wang Yue and pleaded, "I came here because I hope that Brother Wang will promise me that you will never do anything to Daliang before my grandmother dies."
Seeing Mei Changsu say this, Wang Yue also said with a righteous look, "Don't worry, as long as you are still alive, Daliang is not my target!"
He was not joking. The first target he and Chen Qianzhi discussed was Nan Chu.
The State of Yue annexed Southern Chu and its strength increased greatly. Its next target was Daliang.
However, this all requires an opportunity, and this opportunity must be created by yourself.
While the two were chatting, the butler came over and bowed to Wang Yue, then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, your friend Xiao Jingyu and a young man named Yan are here to visit. How do you arrange for them?"
Wang Yue did not answer. Instead, he looked at Mei Changsu and asked with a smile, "Xiao Shu, what do you think?"
Although Mei Changsu had expected Xiao Jingyu to come to the Jiangzuo League to find him, he did not expect him to follow him here.
He thought Xiao Jingyu must have received the news, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's borrow Brother Wang's palace to meet him."
Seeing that Mei Changsu agreed, Wang Yue told the butler, "Please ask Young Master Xiao and Master Yan to come over here."
The butler took the order and left. After a while, he came back with two people.
Xiao Jingyu was originally going to introduce Yan Yujin and Wang Yue, but he didn't expect Mei Changsu to be there. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly greeted, "Your Majesty, Sect Master Su, this is my good friend Yan Yujin. He heard that Yue Kingdom is different from other countries, so he came here specially to visit."
When he got to this point, he suddenly changed the subject and asked with some surprise, "I was originally planning to go to see Master Su after settling down in Yujin, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Master Su, are you still going to Jinling?"
Wang Yue and Mei Changsu looked at each other. Neither of them expected that Xiao Jingyu didn't even know that Mei Changsu was here. It was just a coincidence.
It's just that Mei Changsu and Wang Yue have been calculating people's hearts, but they regard other people's simple actions as a conspiracy, and make the two of them cautious, which is really ridiculous.
Chapter 94: He, who is he?
However, this cannot be blamed on Wang Yue and Mei Changsu for having impure thoughts. It is really because the revenge of the people in Daliang is too important. In order to prevent any accidents, they have to deal with it carefully.
Wang Yue didn't know whether Mei Changsu was thinking about how to respond or waiting for him to make an excuse. As the host, he spoke first, "I heard that the Crown Prince of Daliang and Prince Yu both went to Langya Pavilion, so I invited Mei Changsu to ask, does Daliang want to use force against us?"
Mei Changsu understood what he meant, and sighed, "Since the establishment of Yue State, there has not been a large-scale war for ten years, so it is necessary to be cautious.
However, I think that even if Daliang wanted to mobilize troops, it had no reason to attack the Kingdom of Yue. After all, the two sides are related by marriage.
I have tried to persuade you for a long time but to no avail. Jingyu, since you came from Jinling, have you heard any rumors?"
Xiao Jingrui was a straightforward person, and he didn't think too much about it, so he said directly, "Brother Su, you asked the wrong person. I don't care much about the affairs of the court. I just like to travel around the world, and I really don't know anything about the court.
However, Yu Jin has been in Jinling for quite a while, so you can ask him."
Yan Yujin had just sat down and hadn't even had time to drink the legendary Yue tea when he heard that his good friend had sold him out, leaving him speechless.
He quickly waved his hand and corrected Xiao Jingrui's words, "Jingrui, you know that my father has been practicing Taoism for many years, and I have never been an official, so I really don't know the important things in the court."
Wang Yue knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he pretended to be a little depressed and asked unwillingly, "I don't want to ask you anything important, is there no news in Jinling?"
Not to mention that Yan Yujin really didn't know, even if he really knew, he wouldn't dare to say it.
So he shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm really sorry, I really haven't heard of it."
Mei Changsu saw that it was almost time, so he hurriedly stopped Wang Yue from teasing the two men. He said seriously, "King of Yue, in fact, no news is good news. Even Master Yan in Jinling hasn't heard of it. I think Daliang has no intention of raising troops. You don't have to be overly nervous."
Wang Yue pretended to be enlightened, and bowed to Yan Yujin, saying generously, "In that case, thank you for your reminder, Master Yan. I will send you a good guide later so that you can play in the territory of Yue State and start school."
Yan Yujin opened his mouth. He really wanted to say that he didn't say anything and that they were all guessing. However, Wang Yue and Mei Changsu didn't even give him a chance, which made his face turn red.
Xiao Jingrui couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, "Yujin, I've told you that Mei Changsu is the leader of the Jiangzuo League. Even the King of Yue respects him very much. If you say these things in front of him, it will definitely be a mistake!"
Yan Yujin shook his head helplessly and quickly explained, "You guys are just guessing, I didn't say anything."
Wang Yue was afraid that Yan Yujin would have some grudges, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, “When Master Yan first came here, he must go to the martial arts arena to take a look. Every time Jing Yu came here, he would go to compete. Although he has never won the annual world championship, he has won the weekly championship many times.
This year's new Heroes Conference is about to begin, and many heroes are coming to compete. Do you want to join in the fun?"
After several years of development, the Heroes Conference started in late spring and early summer every year and ended in late autumn. The rules also became much more formal, and even the original martial arts field was expanded several times, becoming a major feature of Lin'an City.
This martial arts conference gave some ambitious people in the martial arts world the opportunity to enter the official career. After the competition, everyone who participated in the competition would have special people from the State of Yue to contact them.
Although this was done in secret and many people were unaware of it, thinking it was just a simple competition, it could not be hidden from those who were interested.
After all, at the beginning, the countries did not pay attention to it, but after several years of development, the news was leaked unconsciously.
After all, every year there are some martial artists who go to Yue State and never come back. If the number is small, it’s not a big deal, but if the number is large, it can cause people to speculate.
If you inquire more carefully, you will find that this kind of talent recruitment cannot be concealed at all.
However, it was too late for the countries to do anything at this time. The Yue Kingdom's martial arts conference had been developing for five or six years, and gradually it became a martial arts heyday. Many martial arts masters came here at this time every year, and warriors from other countries came here to participate in the competition in large numbers.
The best that other countries could do was to follow suit and win over people. They did not have the geographical advantage, and the effect was not as good as that of Yue State.
Xiao Jingrui had a lot of experience in participating in competitions, but his identity made people not want to win him over. He thought this was just a simple competition, so he nodded quickly and said in agreement, "Yes, Yujin, you can't miss such a big event, otherwise, you'll have come here in vain."
Mei Changsu saw that the topic had changed, so he smiled and said, "In that case, how about I take Master Yan to the martial arts arena? If Jing Rui has anything to say, he can talk to the King of Yue more?"
Yan Yujin didn't want to stay any longer, and he was also afraid that if he spoke too much, he would make mistakes, so he quickly agreed, exchanged a few polite words with Wang Yue, and left with Mei Changsu.
After the two of them left, Xiao Jingrui said awkwardly, "Actually, it's like this. The Queen Mother in the palace is about to celebrate her birthday, and Concubine Hui said that the Queen Mother misses Princess Jingyao.
The Third Prince asked me to sound out the issue. I wonder if Princess Jingyao can come back to Jinling for the Queen Mother's birthday?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. What does this mean? Who came up with this idea? Do they still want hostages?
Xiao Jingyao gave birth to the second prince for him. The child was smart and clever, and he liked him better than the eldest prince born to Princess Qian.
At this time, Yue Guo suddenly said that the Empress Dowager of Daliang wanted to see him, her concubine, which was somewhat strange.
But isn’t this too obvious?
It doesn't look like the work of Emperor Liang.
He couldn't figure out what it meant, so he said calmly, "This may be difficult. The Second Prince is only five years old, and the Fifth Princess is even younger. They can't leave their mother for the time being."
Wang Yue's words also meant rejection. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. If he went alone, he could leave at any time, but it would be more troublesome to bring a woman with him.
Xiao Jingrui's reaction was beyond Wang Yue's expectations. Seeing Wang Yue's refusal, he not only did not continue to persuade him, but was relieved. He smiled and explained, "I am just delivering a message. I don't mean to force you. There will be news from Jinling soon. Whether the King of Yue is willing or not, you can decide for yourself. Don't consider me."
Wang Yue saw that Xiao Jingrui really didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this boy was the half-brother of his other concubine, so he might as well win him over so that he would have someone to take care of him when he went to Jinling.
So, he pretended to be a little confused and said, "Jingrui, let's not talk about this. There is something I don't know whether I should say or not. I want to ask Lord Xie or the owner of Tianquan Villa if he has any other confidantes in Nanchu!"
Xiao Jingrui didn't know what Wang Yue meant. Both of his parents were deeply in love and had no concubines. He shook his head and asked in confusion, "Why do you ask that, Your Majesty? It seems that they have never been to Nanchu."
Wang Yue thought about it, then smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll let you meet someone. After you meet him, you may understand why I'm asking this."
Xiao Jingrui was also very curious, not knowing what Wang Yue was trying to say, so he smiled and said, "Then I will follow the host's lead."
Wang Yue called the maid outside the door and said with a smile, "Go find Concubine Nian and ask her to bring the eldest princess over."
Not long after, Yuwen Nian came over, and with her came Wang Yun, the daughter she gave to Wang Yuesheng.
When Xiao Jingrui saw Yuwen Nian, he felt that he was just somewhat familiar, but when he looked at the little Wang Yun, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Although Wang Yun is a six-year-old girl, she likes to learn martial arts very much, so she always dresses in men's clothes.
Xiao Jingrui looked at the little Wang Yun, as if he saw a smaller version of himself, and he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, who is he?"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Jingrui's excitement and explained with a smile, "This is the little princess born to Concubine Nian. She looks a lot like you, doesn't she?"
After hearing this, Xiao Jingrui quickly waved his hands and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? I have never seen Princess Yuwen, I really don't know what's going on."
Yuwen Nian was also a little panicked. She quickly knelt in front of Wang Yue and explained in a panic, "My lord, since I married into the palace, I have never been out of Kuaiji City. I have never seen this young master!"
Wang Yun didn't know what was going on, so she quickly pulled her mother's clothes, trying to pull her up. However, she was too small to do so, and her little mouth was about to burst into tears.
Wang Yue's forehead was black. What were these two people thinking? He walked forward and picked up Yun'er, then pulled Yuwennian up, and then said unhappily, "What are you two thinking? I just think that you two may be half-siblings, or half-siblings."
Xiao Jingrui heaved a sigh of relief, and then he understood why Wang Yue asked that question. He said with some hesitation, "But I've never heard my parents say that."
Yuwen Nian also shook his head and said doubtfully, "I haven't heard my father say that either. Besides, my mother had never been out of Chu before she married my father."
Wang Yue shook his head. Of course he knew everything clearly. The father of Yuwen Nian and Xiao Jingrui was the same person, Yuwen Lin.
When Yuwenlin was a hostage in Daliang, he had an affair with Xiao Jingrui's mother. However, before Xiao Jingrui was born, Yuwenlin took the opportunity to escape from Jinling.
He didn't want to tell the two of them just this, so he pretended to be very helpless and said, "I don't know about this. I let you meet just to remind you that you may be related by blood.
You still need to investigate the details yourself, but I have news that Nian Nian's father, Yu Wenlin, was once a hostage in Jinling when he was young. You may be half-siblings, and you still need to confirm this yourself."
Xiao Jingrui was shocked. He suddenly felt that what Wang Yue said was very possible. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Yun'er looked so much like him.
So, he immediately bowed to Wang Yue and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, what you said is too shocking. I want to go back and investigate immediately. Please help me inform Sect Master Su. He said he wants to go to Jinling with me. It's just right for us to go back together."
Wang Yue saw Xiao Jingrui's face change, so he didn't force him to stay. He said politely, "In that case, why don't you go directly to the martial arts arena to find them, and then we can set off together. It's just a pity that your friend must not have had enough fun this time."
Xiao Jingrui also knew that this was the best way, so he nodded quickly, bowed to Wang Yue, and left in a hurry.
After he left, Yuwen Nian complained, "Your Majesty, you scared me to death today. Can you give me advance notice next time?"
Wang Yue held Yuwen Nian in his arms and smiled to comfort her, "We have been married for so many years, and I didn't expect you to be so distant to me. You actually knelt down just now. It was you who scared me."
He really wasn't joking. Over the years, he had never shown a bad face in the backyard, so he felt that his backyard was full of joy.
Chapter 95: Conflict at the City Gate
What Wang Yue never expected was that Yuwen Nian taught him a lesson today. It turned out that from the beginning to the end, he was the King of Yue first, and only then his husband.
This made Wang Yue very uncomfortable. When he was in Ning'an's dream world, because of the presence of modern person You Fangyin, the three women in the harem had no fear of her at all.
But now it’s different. The hearts of the women in his backyard are not all with him. Once a war breaks out between the two countries, his backyard may be a time bomb.
Yuwen Nian didn't know what Wang Yue was thinking, and she didn't argue with Wang Yue. She quickly smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Wang Yue sighed and shook his head helplessly. He held the wooden sword to tease Yun'er. When the little girl started to dance with the sword, he said to Yuwen Nian, "Niannian, we have been together for so many years. You should be able to understand me. I hope that you will treat me as your husband first, and then the King of Yue."
Yuwen Nian was watching Wang Yue teasing Yun'er and was feeling happy. Suddenly, after hearing what Wang Yue said, she said nervously, "My Lord, I..."
Wang Yue held her little hand in his and said seriously, "Parents can only be with us for 10 to 20 years, and the same goes for children. I am the only one who can grow old with you. I hope you can treat me as your partner, and we should support each other."
Yuwen Nian was moved by Wang Yue's words and couldn't help but shed tears. She had been cautious ever since her mother's death, and now she finally felt at peace.
She hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and uttered "hmm" in an inaudible voice.
Wang Yue also took the opportunity to hug Yu Wennian into his arms and couldn't help laughing.
But his joy lasted only three seconds, Yun'er threw away the wooden sword in her hand, and rushed over, saying excitedly, "Father, Mother, I want a hug too!"
Yu Wennian was so moved that he forgot about the surroundings. Now he was frightened and quickly jumped out of Wang Yue's arms, his face turning red.
……
Mei Changsu followed Xiao Jingrui that day, and he still planned to live in Xiao Jingrui's house just like in the TV series.
After Mei Changsu left, Wang Yue began to communicate with the women in the backyard one by one. If he wanted to do big things, he needed a stable backyard.
His harem is more complicated, so he has to be more attentive and can only exchange his sincerity for true love.
It’s just that his sincerity is useful to some women, but not to others.
However, at least the three princesses had really changed a lot after the heart-to-heart talks, making him feel like he was at home.
However, Wang Yue knew clearly that this was just a running-in phase and it would take some time to achieve the model he wanted.
Just when he was busy stabilizing the backyard, the State of Yue received a letter from Daliang.
It turned out that it was really Concubine Hui's idea to let Jingyao go back this time.
One day, the Empress Dowager suddenly thought of Xiao Jingyao for some reason. Concubine Hui had no choice but to tell Emperor Liang about it.
As for the opinions Xiao Jingrui raised when he came, it was just that the Third Prince Xiao Jingting asked Xiao Jingrui to test Wang Yue's attitude in private.
The Emperor of Daliang knew that the Empress Dowager was in poor health. He felt that this was not a big deal. He was afraid that the Kingdom of Yue would have reservations and was unwilling to let Princess Jingyao return to Nanjing to visit her relatives, so he sent a letter to guarantee this event.
