Chapter 79: Inquiry

The phoenix bird went down the river and arrived at Guabu. He met Yu Zhong in an old house. Yu Zhong reported all the information about the person he wanted to surrender:

Wang Liangce was the former prefect of Ancheng County, Jiangzhou, Chu State, and General Jianwu, a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was a few literary names and outstanding intelligence. However, his career was not smooth after adulthood. He was suppressed for a long time because he offended the Yu family. Later, he finally released Ancheng and became the prefect of a county, but it happened to be in the rebellion of Tianshidao. He followed the governor of Jiangzhou Wei Buqu to suppress the rebellion and repeatedly made correct military suggestions and was not accepted. Instead, due to Wei Buqu's random command, he was defeated in the battle. After the war, Wang Liangce was punished for his merits and punishments. Because of the loss of troops and generals, he was removed from the position of prefect and general Jianwu, and he has been idle.

"People from the Wang family in Taiyuan..."

Luanniao played with the jade pendant that Yuan Mulan wanted to give to Xu You in her hand, and said, "He wants to recognize his ancestors?"

The Wang family in Taiyuan is divided into two veins, one is the Wang family of Jinyang and the other is the Wang family of Qixian. When the Hu people invaded China, the Wang family of Jinyang stayed in the northern border and relied on the Tuoba family, making great contributions to the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now it is still a high-ranking family with an important status. The Wang family of Qixian crossed the river south to Jiangdong. After more than a hundred years of ups and downs, they are now just a middle-class gentry, and their reputation is not as good as before, let alone compared with the Wang family of Jinyang who remained in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Wang Liangce is an ambitious and ambitious person, but his future in Chu State has come to an end. Returning to the Wang family in Jinyang is undoubtedly the best choice right now."

"That is, you conclude that his surrender is credible?"

Luan Bird frowned and said, "Although Wang Liangce is a little famous, he is not a big shot. Since you can make a judgment, just arrange for him to cross the river according to the previous rules. Why do you have to ask me to go there in person?"

Yu Zhong looked embarrassed and said, "Now the two countries have a good relationship and accepting Wang Liangke's surrender will cause protests from Chu? If the influence is too bad and angers the Lord, I..."

Luanniao smiled and said, "Yu Miemeng, you are becoming more and more sloppy. You want to make contributions and are afraid of taking responsibility... Well, I will take this responsibility for you, don't worry, if Wang Liangce is a talented person, he will have a chance to show his skills in the Northern Dynasties."

Yu Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter if we fight to death outside. We are most afraid of working hard and having to bear it for others. Thank you for your understanding..."

After chatting about the intelligence work in Jiangdong for a few more words, Luanniao suddenly said, "You make arrangements, I want to see Xu You."

"Ah?" Yu Zhong was stunned and said, "Is this... too dangerous?"

"What? Are you still afraid that Xu You will catch me?"

Luanniao smiled and said, "The two countries are fighting and not killing the envoys. Taiwei Xu is very credible in this regard. Don't worry too much. If you make arrangements, just say I have something important to interview him."

"promise!"

Yu Zhong quickly made arrangements. Luanniao changed into men's clothes, took the place opened by the General's Mansion, and swaggered into Jinling. He took a quick look at the scenery around him, and went to a painting boat parked by the Qinhuai River.

"sit!"

Xu You was the only one in the cabin. He was wearing a green robe and no crown and hat. He casually tied his hair with a wooden hairpin and leisurely held a white porcelain tea set to brew the blue bird's tongue. Every move showed his graceful demeanor.

The phoenix sat on the futon opposite him, watching Xu You lift the teapot, and the clear jade tea flowed from the curved spout into the cup. The seemingly simple behavior seemed to have an indescribable mystery.

She suddenly became intoxicated, but she subconsciously struggled to break this state, but until the tea filled the cup, she could not find the moment she could speak.

Xu You smiled and said, "Drink tea!"

The phoenix woke up in shock, as if he had a happy dream in the half, but he was still unsatisfied, but he did not dare to try it easily again.

The Grand Master is the ceiling of martial arts. When you enter the first level, what you think, what you see cannot be understood by others. Luanniao even feels that Xu You's current cultivation may have surpassed Yuanguang, and Kang Jing, who has just become a Grand Master, is far from comparable.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and left her lips and teeth with fragrance, and said strangely: "Good tea! Why is it different from what I have drunk in Pingcheng? Could it be that the Taiwei used inferior products as good people and bullied us northerners not understanding the tea ceremony?"

"Tea has its own rhyme. If the rhyme is not revealed, it will lose most of its taste. After all, there are not many people who love tea in Pingcheng, and even fewer people understand tea. Girls think it is different. It is not the fault of tea, but the lack of skills in making tea."

Xu You seemed to be chatting at home and said with a smile: "If a girl likes her, she can come to Jinling often in the future. There are twenty-seven people who are good at tea ceremony in Jinling, also known as the twenty-seven friends in the tea ceremony. Each has its own unique skills, which allows girls to appreciate the beauty of tea ceremony..."

Luanniao asked cunningly: "Does the Grand Marshal invite me alone or both of you?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Actually, I have something I have always wanted to ask the girl for advice, but I just feel a little rude..."

"Why should the Grand Marshal be polite? I will tell you everything I have to ask."

"Okay, your country and I can be said to be mortal enemies, and Yuan Mulan is a Xianbei princess and has a respected status in your country. But the last time I met by the Minjiang River, and this time, the girl seemed to want to match us with two of us..."

Luanbird's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "So the Taiwei has a feeling? I am also worried that the fallen flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. Now, since the Taiwei thinks it is appropriate, you can make a date early, and the dowry is definitely not a problem..."

Xu You smiled and said, "I don't think the princess is willing, but the girl is very anxious..."

"Yeah?"

The phoenix took out the jade pendant and put it on the table, as if it had reached a gambler of three or six, and said, "When I left Pingcheng, the princess personally instructed me to hand the jade pendant to the Taiwei. This is the relic left by her mother's mother. She has been wearing it for many years and will never leave her for a moment. She is now given to the Taiwei. Is the Taiwei still not understanding the love?

Xu You was unmoved, and even his expression did not change at all. He smiled and said, "I believe this is a jade pendant given by the princess, but it will not be a relic of her mother's mother. It should be just a thank you gift for killing He Yang..."

Luan Bird was a little stunned. The first thought was that there was a spy from the secret residence in the princess's mansion. But then he thought, no, Yuan Mulan was a second-grade junior master. Except for the grand master, no one could overhear the conversation between the two in her realm.

It can only be said that Xu You is too powerful. He is just a waste of time when playing around with him. He simply shows that Luan Bird sat upright, put his hands flat in front of his knees, and said seriously: "The Taiwei must be very clear that the princess is in a very dangerous situation now. Either marry and become a victim of temporary compromise between the emperor and the Xianbei surname, or give up everything and completely leave the power struggle in Pingcheng. But her character is too stubborn, unwilling to leave, betray the responsibility that the Xianbei people should bear, and she is unwilling to marry those with ulterior motives. The result is only death. As far as I know, the Taiwei may be the only man who entered her heart, or it may be the last hope to save her life. So, I would like to ask the Taiwei, are there any slight affection for the princess? Don't have too much, just a little bit..."
