Chapter 169 Ask Xiang Qing for Help, Leave!

This night, not only the Tangling Hou Mansion, many people may not be able to sleep. The death of Prince Jian is enough to cause a huge sensation. Although many people will think that his death is more than justified, and it is better to die, but he is the only emperor who is still alive. The younger brother of the emperor, the emperor Lei Ting was furious, how could the life of each family be easier?

Shen Liang has tried his best to disentangle the relationship. Judging by Yang Wanli's attitude, it seems that he doesn't intend to involve the Houfu, but who can understand the emperor's thoughts?Now that Dongling Hou's mansion is becoming more and more prosperous because of Shen Liang, it is not impossible for him to take the opportunity to suppress it. The only good thing is that he will still be afraid of Shen Liang and Pei Yuanlie, and the Wei family is already on their way back. He should Not too extreme.

When Shen Liang returned to the Second Advent Courtyard, Pei Yuanlie had already returned, Xiang Qing was also sitting in the main room, and Fu Ying and the others retreated consciously.

"Sorry, brother Qing, for disturbing you so late."

Shaking away the panic and restlessness along the way, Shen Liang cheered up and bowed to Xiang Qing, who also stood up and bowed back: "You are welcome, Liang Liang, I am best friends with your eldest brother, and you and Xiao Zhuo are also friends. Not to mention disturbing."

"Brother Qing, please sit down."

Nodding, Shen Liang made a gesture of invitation, and sat down with Pei Yuanlie: "Time is running out, so I won't talk to brother Qing anymore. To be honest, I received news an hour ago that my brother was arrested at the border. Plotted, poisoned and comatose, now life and death are uncertain, I am really worried about my brother's safety, and I am going to go to the northwest by myself."

"Poisoned? Caused by the enemy?"

Xiang Qing frowned. In a large-scale war, poison should not be used, right?Although this possibility is not ruled out, sometimes in order to win, it is true that all means will be used, but...he always feels that it is not that simple.

"It shouldn't be the enemy army. I don't know the details yet. Brother Qing, I invite you here to ask for something. I hope that Brother Qing must agree to me for the sake of my brother and Xiao Zhuozi."

After finishing speaking, Shen Liang stood up again, cupped his fists and bent down deeply. He knew that even if they left the imperial city, Pei Yuanlie would make arrangements. It was impossible for him to take all of his people away, but if he didn't find someone he trusted He has never been able to rest assured that these people in the returning courtyard are too important to him, especially his little nephew who is less than one year old.

"It's cool but it's okay to say, I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

People in the officialdom always like to leave three points leeway, and they never talk too much, but Shen Liang is different, he is Shen Da's younger brother, and also a friend of his own stupid brother, Xiang Qing agreed without thinking.

"Thank you Brother Qing."

After thanking Shen Liang, he sat down again: "Brother Qing must have known about being a prince. Not long ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had taken the Erfang family away, but this matter cannot end because of this, and the emperor regretted giving me a long time ago. I have married Yuan Lie, and I have always been afraid of suppressing us. He will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity, but I have already told my father to use his illness in bed and the long-awaited separation of the family as a reason. Letting the relationship aside, if His Majesty uses this to discuss matters in the court in the future, I hope Brother Qing can help the Hou Mansion with a few words of kindness, and don't ask for a complete retreat, but only hope that the Hou Mansion will survive."

As one of the future cabinet successors that the emperor valued, Xiang Qing still has a certain voice in front of the emperor.

"Well...it's not difficult, but Lord Hou may suffer some crimes. The biggest possibility is to remove him from the post of Minister of the Household Department."

After pondering for a while, Xiang Qing said in a low voice, the emperor's mind is always unpredictable, they must prepare for the worst.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the Hou Mansion is still there."

Whether Shen Ruiting can still be the Minister of the Household Department does not affect his protection of Chonglinyuan, and Shen Liang doesn't care, don't blame him for his cold heart, it is Shen Ruiting himself who made his heart cool down a little bit.

"You, sure enough, you still blame the Marquis, so why do you want to protect the Marquis Mansion? With Brother Shen's ability, as long as he survives this calamity, it will not be difficult for him to earn a title in the future. You don't need it at all. You came here to beg me specifically to keep the Hou Mansion."

Xiang Qing smiled and shook his head, he couldn't see what Shen Liang was thinking, but then Shen Liang gave him the answer readily.

"It's not for my brother, Qing brother is not an outsider, let me just say it straight, the child I adopted a few months ago, he is not an abandoned child, but my brother's own flesh and blood, going to the northwest, it must be day and night It is impossible for me to take him with me, so I must ensure the safety of the Hou Mansion."

"What? Brother Shen's child?"

Rao Xiang Qing, who has always been calm, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, Shen Liang nodded: "It's absolutely true!"

"Hehe... Unexpectedly, Brother Shen actually has a child. I'm still single. I really lost to him."

After the shock, Xiang Qing said angrily and amusedly, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has completely digested this fact, but Shen Liang said it with such certainty that he almost accepted it.

"So, brother Qing, if the emperor has the intention of disturbing the foundation of the Marquis Mansion, please help me, at least until my elder brother and I come back safely."

His dark eyes were full of determination, he would be safe, and he would never allow those people to take his brother's life again.

"I promise you."

Sweeping away the previous relaxation, Xiang Qing raised his head to meet his eyes, and gave him a direct guarantee in a deep voice.

Shen Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued after a little relaxation of his tense mood: "Also, I will leave quietly at first, and I will not announce my going to the northwest until the military report is returned in two days. I don’t care about the emperor’s reaction at that time. I’m not an official anyway. No one stipulates that I can’t leave the imperial city, but the things I did with Xiao Zhuo and the others have always been enviable. Zhuo Zi, Xie Yan and the others, there is no guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to cause trouble, Brother Qing will have to help, it is not easy for us to achieve our current results."

He didn't want all his efforts to be wiped out when he came back.

"Well, I'll pay attention to this if you don't tell me. Thanks to you, Xiaozhuo's reputation is growing, and the emperor probably won't think about him anymore."

Ming people don't speak dark words in front of Ming people, and Xiang Qing rarely let go of all guards, and he can say anything. Xiang Zhuo is his only direct brother. He would rather marry a peddler than get involved in the struggle for imperial power. among.

"Brother Qing is a sensible person."

Shen Liang tugged at the corner of his mouth, showing a slight smile, this was the first smile he showed after learning about Shen Da's accident.

"A sensible person is always more tiring than a foolish person. If possible, I would also like to be a foolish person."

But no, he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Lin'an, and he shoulders the responsibility of carrying the Marquis of Lin'an, so he is not allowed to be confused at all.

"Yes."

Who would want to intrigue with others if he could spend his life in a daze and peacefully?

"There's one last thing. I'm just in case. Brother Qing, if someone does something to my people after I leave and they can't find you, I hope you can help me."

It was only a second of emotion, and Shen Liang recovered quickly. Their identities are destined not to pretend to be confused. He was a bloody example in his previous life, so there is no need for them to indulge in extravagant hopes.

"No problem. If they can't find me by then, just ask them to tell Xiao Zhuo. Tomorrow I will tell Xiao Zhuo to stay at Jiulipu until you come back."

He agreed to the first two things, and he didn't agree to this matter. After Xiang Qing finished speaking, he suddenly turned his attention to Pei Yuanlie who was accompanying Shen Liang: "The prince will also go together?"

"Ah."

Pei Yuanlie didn't hide anything, and he didn't say anything unnecessary. The others were already sitting here, knowing that Shen Liang was going to the northwest, how could he not follow?Xiang Qing is not someone to be fooled. Of course, Liangliang trusts him, so there is no need for him to fool him.

"I can rest assured that."

Nodding, Xiang Qing turned to Shen Liang again: "Liang Liang, it's a long way to the northwest, remember to be careful, if brother Shen is safe, remember to send a message back, and finally, help me tell him that I haven't seen you for five years, I will wait for you." He came back to drink!"

"it is good!"

Shen Liang stood up and clasped his fists, Xiang Qing saluted back, knowing that he was in a hurry, he didn't bother, told him to be careful and left.

"Lord."

Back in the room, Lei Zhen had already returned, and Zheng Han, Yang Peng and Yuan Shao were with him. When the four of them saw him clasped their fists one after another, Shen Liang nodded: "Is it all arranged?"

"Well, Zheng Han and I will go with you. The people in the Second Advent Court will not be moved. Yang Peng and Yuan Shao will temporarily live in the Double Advent Court as stewards. Your lord can rest assured."

Knowing what he was asking, Lei Zhen spoke concisely.

"The Ascension Institute will trouble you, you must ensure their safety."

Following what he said, his eyes turned to Yuan Shao and Yang Peng, and Shen Liang said solemnly that what he was most worried about was the people in the revisiting hospital, especially Shen You.

"My lord is serious, this is our duty."

Yuan Shao spoke on behalf of the two, and took out a small, old-looking but well-maintained wooden box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "This is the detoxification pill made by the old master himself. According to legend, the medicine in the Blood Jade Exquisite is the same, and it may come in handy."

"Ah."

After receiving the wooden box, Shen Liang didn't bother to check it, so he put it away.

"Master, everything has been properly arranged, but because of the sudden death of the concurrent prince, the emperor has ordered General Ling to deploy manpower to guard the gates of the cities. It may be difficult for us to go out before dawn."

Not long after, Tianshu and others also arrived.

"This king wants to leave the city, who dares to stop him?"

With a raised eyebrow, Pei Yuanlie didn't take what he said to heart at all. In the past, Shen Liang would always make fun of him, but today he was not in the mood. Before leaving, he went to Fu Ying's room again and looked at the lying on the bed. The little nephew who was sleeping soundly on the bed felt hot in Shen Liang's eyes, tears almost rolled down, but he didn't allow himself to cry, crying meant losing, he won't lose, brother will be fine.

"Good boy, uncle will bring your father back safely."

After finally resisting the urge to cry, Shen Liang choked up and finished speaking, leaning over to kiss his fair and tender face.

"Cool cool..."

At Yinshizhen, everything was properly arranged inside and out, Pei Yuanlie embraced Shen Liang and was about to leave, Fu Ying and others surrounded them worriedly, Shen Da's life and death were uncertain, and Shen Liang was a twin, even if there was a perfect guardian by his side , they are still afraid.

"Don't worry, it's fine, Qi Yue, go to Jiulipu tomorrow and tell Xie Yan and the others that I'm not feeling well, and I won't go to the shop for a few days, and when the military report of what happened to my elder brother comes back, you can tell them that I've been there all night. Head to the northwest, and the Jiulipu business will be handed over to them."

Shen Liang looked at them one by one, and ordered himself to smile consolingly as much as possible.

"Well, you don't have to worry about things at home. We will take care of them and protect the young master. Cool, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Under the leadership of Qi Yue, a group of people clasped their fists at the same time and spoke in unison. Shen Liang's eyes became hot, and he nodded indiscriminately before letting Pei Yuanlie take him away.

"Liangliang, you must come back safely."

Seeing their figures disappear into the night, Qi Xuan rushed out in tears and shouted loudly, all along, the meaning of their existence is to protect Shen Liang, if something happens to Shen Liang, he can't even imagine their future How to survive.
