Chai Qingshan felt even more helpless. Damned girl, did she want the entire world to think that Sword Pool had something going on with Beiliang?
Yin Changgeng took Hsu Fengnian up the stairs, the young girl following closely behind. His companions at the stairs had already retreated to their rooms.
Song Tinglu rested his head on the table and laughed foolishly.
Li Yibai teased, "With a new sword, you don't have to worry about your shimei?"
The youth stared at the willow leaf swords that he liked the more he looked at them. He twisted his mouth and said, "In any case, I can't win against Hsu Fengnian. I'll just leave it to fate."
Chai Qingshan slapped the back of his disciple's head. "Look at you!"
Stopping at the end of the corridor on the second floor, Yin Changgeng said softly, "This is Mister Qi's room."
Without waiting for Hsu Fengnian to act, the young girl in white cleverly pushed open the door like a servant girl.
Hsu Fengnian stood at the door and said to Yin Changgeng, "If you have the guts, when you return to Great Peace City, tell Yin Maochun that the King of Shu, Chen Zhibao, has Xie Guanying supporting him and is like a tiger that has grown wings. Once he establishes his authority in Guangling Road, this person's threat to the court will not be below mine, Hsu Fengnian. Of course, whether you say it or not is up to you, Yin Changgeng. Also, I can't force it. "
Yin Changgeng seemed to have made a decision with great difficulty. He suddenly said in a low voice, "Wang Ye, can I come in for a chat?"
Hsu Fengnian stilled and then smiled. "No matter."
The young girl with a sword on her back, her face slightly red, was busy. Not only did she put down the clothes, she even put the sword on her back on the table. She did not treat him as an outsider at all. At this time, she was carrying a wooden basin out. She saw Yin Changgeng walk in. After her shock, she did not ask anything. She only said to Hsu Fengnian shyly, "Wang Ye, I will go boil a basin of hot water for you. Wang Ye may have to wait a while."
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Go, go. But this time, I have nothing to give you."
The young girl lowered her head and walked out of the house in small steps. When she reached the corridor, she began to jump up and down.
With the girl's interruption, Yin Changgeng's mood calmed down a bit. He closed the door and sat down after Hsu Fengnian. Yin Changgeng did not take advantage of the situation to sit down. He just stood there. Just as he was about to speak, he found that Hsu Fengnian covered his mouth with his hand. Shocking blood flowed out from between his fingers, especially the large pool of blood on his chest. Yin Changgeng could not help but wonder, even if he was a martial arts great master, was it really okay to bleed so much? Hsu Fengnian's throat moved slightly. After he put down his hand, he took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Although your Mister Qi didn't draw his sword before he died, the eighteen strands of Sword Qi that he gave me are raging in my heart. I have no choice but to ask you to make it short."
Yin Changgeng did his best to not smell the pungent smell of blood. He quickly thought of the right words and said, "Has Your Highness heard that Tantanon has the intention of giving up the position of Provincial Master?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Yin Changgeng saw Hsu Fengnian reach out a hand and press it against his abdomen. His five fingers were curved in a mysterious way, as if he was suppressing those Sword Qi.
Hsu Fengnian's expression was amused. He nodded and said, "I've heard. Your father and father-in-law both have a chance of taking over this position. Can this be considered keeping the goodies within the family?"
Yin Changgeng shook his head and said in a heavy voice, "Zhao Youling has always looked down on me. Part of this is because Zhao Youling has great expectations for his youngest son, Zhao Wenwei. In reality, Your Highness should be well aware that back then, my father was the first to leave Zhang Lu, even earlier than Zhao Youling, Yuan Guo, Han Lin, and the others. It was precisely because he had a disagreement with the old Grand Secretary on the matter of Beiliang … "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and interrupted him. "There was a disagreement, but don't be in such a hurry to throw dirty water on Zhang Julu. Back then, Yin Changgeng was the first to leave Zhang Lu. His disagreement with Beiliang's politics was only a small part of the reason. Most of it was the late emperor's intention. The late emperor needed to cultivate someone who could succeed Gu Lu and contend against Zhang Lu as a civil official. Unfortunately, the Green Party was disappointing, and the scholarly clique in Gangnam-do even more unbearable. Yin Changgeng tried twice in secret to rope them in, but he failed. That was why he had no choice but to stay in this corner of Hanlin Academy. Not only was the late emperor greatly disappointed, the one who should be even more disappointed should be Yuan Benxi."
As a result, Yin Changgeng couldn't continue.
As he spoke, Hsu Fengnian coughed from time to time. He continued, "As expected, scholars are naturally not suited to discussing business face-to-face, but they do have a set of schemes behind the scenes. Fine, if you can't say it, I'll say it for you. Although your father and Zhao Youling are relatives by marriage, they've never seen eye to eye. If I'm not wrong, your father's true best friend, the one he's willing to see as a kindred spirit, is only Han Lin, who's about to become the Administrator of the Huainan Dao, right? What, you want me, Beiliang, to take care of the ambitious Sir Han? And what will your return be? "
Yin Changgeng suddenly felt somewhat lacking in confidence. He said softly, "After Sir Han takes up his post in the Huainan Dao, he will immediately propose to the court that the Administrator's mansion be moved to the border between Ji and Hezhou …"
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "I understand."
Yin Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to speak, there were some things that only the heavens and earth would know. It was truly too difficult to say.
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand. "Fine, you can return to Great Peace City at ease. As for the Huainan Dao and Ji Zhou, on the way back, tell that Administrator to be at ease."
Yin Changgeng wanted to speak, but hesitated.
Hsu Fengnian laughed coldly. "As for what should be done, Beiliang will naturally weigh the pros and cons. In short, we won't make things difficult for your father and Han Lin. In this transaction, your side will definitely be more profitable. "
Yin Changgeng bowed with clasped hands. "Then Yin Changgeng will quietly wait for the good news."
When Yin Changgeng quietly left the room, he discovered that the girl from the Sword Pool holding a basin of hot water was standing not too far away.
