Hsu Fengnian didn't hide anything from Xu Beizhi. When the Yan family betrayed Beiliang and went to the capital to enjoy wealth, it was the Weaving Bureau that pulled the strings between the Imperial Court and the Imperial Court. The escape route, the disguise, and the various locations along the way were all carefully planned. However, Li Yishan had been watching from the sidelines. In this game of intrigue between Beiliang and the Imperial Court, Beiliang was one step ahead. In addition, Chu Lushan spared no effort in investigating. In the end, they were intercepted by Beiliang's spies. However, Hsu Fengnian was soft-hearted and personally pleaded for mercy for the Yan family. Only then did Xu Xiao let them go. Otherwise, even if Wang Xianzhi came to Beiliang personally to save them, she would only be able to save one or two people. Although Li Xifeng lost, it was amazing that he could still do what he did when he was surrounded by wolves and wolves in Beiliang.
Xu Beizhi broke the silence and said, "If Li Xifeng wants to spend his old age peacefully, he has to make a deal with Beiliang before he returns to the capital. However, this deal will only benefit him."
Hsu Fengnian was silent, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.
Xu Beizhi raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "I remember that you used to have three very good friends. Among them, Yan Chiji has already followed his family to the capital to become a relative of the Imperial Court. He has a bright future ahead of him. Kong Wuchi isn't bad either. At the end of the year, he also became a Commandant of the Imperial Army. In the end, only Li Hanlin is left in Beiliang. Do you really have the heart to do that? You haven't even become a Vassal King, yet you plan to become a loner? "
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "No matter what the result is, even if it is the worst, I will ensure that the Li family will never have to worry about food or clothing. Li Hanlin not acknowledging me as a brother is also my own fault. "
Xu Beizhi smiled faintly and said, "How pitiful."
Hsu Fengnian kicked this fellow. Xu Beizhi leaned against the wall of the carriage and patted his clothes. He asked casually, "That good friend of Wang Lvting, Sun Yin, was praised by Yao Baifeng as a talented bull. Yao Baifeng became the Left Chancellor of the Imperial College and controls the literary world. Did any spies say that Master wanted to invite Sun Yin to be the Chancellor?
Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "Ju Zi, you're really something. If I didn't know that Yao Baifeng had secretly sent someone to invite Sun Yin and promised that as long as this fellow was willing to go to the capital and become the Chancellor of the Imperial College, he would be able to participate in the court examinations next year. Yao Baifeng would have put down his precious face and personally asked the Zhao family's Emperor for the top spot! If not, I wouldn't have known that there was such a person in Hwangnam County. However, you can relax but you can't. Sun Yin has already been sent to Lingzhou by Wang Lvting. I plan to let him become a sixth rank official with real power. If you become the Provincial Governor of Lingzhou and are overshadowed by this person, be careful that I don't let him replace your position in a fit of anger. "
Xu Beizhi glanced at Hsu Fengnian and didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry. I like the new and not the old. No matter how capable Sun Yin is, Ju Zi, you're still my old love. My favor won't decrease."
Xu Beizhi laughed coldly, "Stop the car quickly. Let me go out and vomit."
Hsu Fengnian looked hurt, "You don't understand. I saved all the good stuff for you first. I picked up a Heavenly Blue Gall Bottle from the Dongyue Imperial Kiln at the Peach Cheeks Restaurant. There's no other bottle like it in the world. You really don't want it? Then I'll give it to Chen Xiliang. That fellow is more sensible than you. "
Xu Beizhi closed his eyes to rest and said calmly, "Hurry up."
At noon on New Year's Eve, His Royal Highness was finally seen on Mount Qing Liang, which was already decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Hsu Fengnian arranged for Huyan Guanyin to stay in a quiet courtyard. He didn't plan on letting her meet up with the girls from Wutongin. Xu Xiao accompanied them along the way. He didn't say much and was just happy. His younger brother, Huang Man'er, had grown a few centimeters taller. There was a hint of anger between his eyebrows. When he wasn't smiling, he was abnormally heroic and exuberant. However, when he smiled foolishly with his father, this instantly broke down. Fortunately, he no longer drooled, but this still left Hsu Fengnian speechless. When they went to see Second Sister, the family of four finally reunited. Xu Weixiong, who controlled half of Beiliang's spies, was now living in Wutongin so that he could handle confidential affairs. In Wutongin, apart from the two senior maids, Sweet Potato and Blue Bird, who didn't participate, the other two maids had all become Beiliang's "Female Hanlin". They read and sift through military intelligence and spy reports and had the right to approve them. Those in the know called them "Vermilion's Maids". This was especially true for Lu Yi, who was second only to Xu Weixiong in the Nineteen Ways. It was as if she was born to be good at scheming and planning and had become the second-in-command of Wutongin. The Second Junzhu, who demanded perfection, reprimanded almost all of the maids, but she relied heavily on Lu Yi. The three men of the Xu family entered the room in Wutongin. Xu Weixiong sat in a wheelchair behind a low desk that was specially made for her. She raised her head and glanced at the three of them. She then lowered her head and casually pulled out a copy from a large stack of secret reports that had already been approved. She inspected the Vermilion's Maids in the neighboring rooms to see if they had made any mistakes. Hsu Fengnian jogged over and saw that the ink on the ancient inkstone on the table was a little dry. He immediately squatted down beside the wheelchair and turned his head to flatter her. "Sister, I'll grind the ink for you."
Xu Weixiong didn't even turn her head to look at him. She smiled insincerely and said, "How could I let the Lingzhou General do this for me?"
Hsu Fengnian played dumb and said, "Of course, of course."
Xu Weixiong didn't continue to make sarcastic remarks about His Royal Highness. She allowed him to roll his sleeves and grind the ink while she focused on reading the detailed Vermilion's handwriting on the various court reports and Beiliang's own spy reports.
Xu Xiao smiled knowingly.
Xu Longxiang sat down on the doorstep and held his chin in a daze.
Xu Weixiong probably couldn't stand Hsu Fengnian being in the way. She didn't even raise her head and said, "Didn't you see that we haven't put up the Spring Festival couplets and peach talismans?"
Hsu Fengnian slapped his head and said in realization, "I'll go write the couplets right now! Let's put them up together later? "
Xu Weixiong didn't make a sound.
Hsu Fengnian went to the empty desk next door and began writing rapidly. It still took him an hour to finish writing the one hundred Spring Festival couplets that the prince's estate needed. Every time he finished writing one, Xu Xiao and Xu Longxiang would gently dry them. Then, they would call Xu Weixiong. She still had work to do and told him not to wait for her. Hsu Fengnian and Huang Man'er could only each carry fifty or so Spring Festival couplets. Xu Xiao was responsible for carrying a box of slightly lighter couplets. They began to put up couplets from top to bottom on Mount Qing Liang. When they reached the main gate, they found Xu Weixiong sitting in a wheelchair, quietly waiting outside the gate. Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked Xu Xiao to see if the couplets were crooked. He and Xu Longxiang put up especially wide and large Spring Festival couplets. The two brothers finished putting up the couplets at the same time. When they turned around, they saw Xu Xiao smiling from ear to ear. Second Sister also had a smile that she hadn't seen in a long time.
