Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch - #489 - Chapter 489 King Qin Zhou Lai

Hearing Ye Zixun’s arrogant words, Cheng Zhouhai and others were speechless for a moment and really didn’t know how to communicate with this guy.

Ning Yi also smiled bitterly and whispered a few words to Ye Zixun in a low voice. Ye Zixun nodded, turned and left.

Seeing Ye Zixun leaving, Cheng Zhouhai finally breathed a sigh of relief and invited Ning Yi into the Prime Minister’s Mansion with a smile.

Nian Gong left alone, summoned the servants and guards who saw Ye Zixun’s action, and told them not to reveal today’s situation…

When he arrived at the east courtyard room, Cheng Zhouhai first introduced himself, and then introduced the identities of the other three people to Ning Yi.

The old man called Nian Gong, whose surname was Yao, was called Yao Zunian. He was very knowledgeable and served as Qin Siyuan’s staff when he was young. Later, Qin Siyuan resigned. He could have had a future, but because of the Blackwater Alliance, Nian Gong Somewhat disappointed with the officialdom, he did not join the officialdom and chose to retire. He did not come back to help until Qin Siyuan came back to power.

A middle-aged man in his forties named Ji Kun was originally a servant of Qin Siyuan when he was young. He later studied and learned with Qin Siyuan and became one of Qin Siyuan’s first disciples.

Although this person is not well-known, his methods are good. The secret investigation department in the north is managed by him.

Cheng Zhouhai’s surname was Cheng Ming Fang, whose courtesy name was Zhou Hai. He was also a disciple of Qin Siyuan, but he had not studied with Qin Siyuan for a long time, and his personality was relatively cynical. Qin Siyuan evaluated him as not suitable for becoming an official for the time being.

As for the last monk, he is quite famous in the capital.

His religious name was Jueming. He was originally the son of a county prince. He was handsome and talented when he was young. Later he became a monk and shocked the capital.

Although Zen Master Jueming has become a monk, he does not practice asceticism. Instead, he has a wide circle of friends and is easy to make friends. At present, he is not a staff member in Youxiang Mansion, but has a status similar to that of a friend and guest.

Ning Yi saw the three prime minister’s staff in front of him one by one, and then asked: “Where is Prime Minister Qin?”

Cheng Zhouhai said with a smile: “Teacher is not at home today and will probably come back in the afternoon.”

Monk Jueming smiled and said: “But before coming back, Prime Minister Qin may have to go to Xiaozhufang…”

Ning Yi was slightly startled, thinking of the small candle shop he saw on the road, and couldn’t help but asked in surprise: “Brothet?”

Cheng Zhouhai and others looked at each other and smiled, and then explained to Ning Yi why there was no one to greet them at the dock.

It turned out that after Qin Siyuan took the position of right prime minister, the clan from his hometown came to him from time to time to seek connections.

Qin Siyuan naturally refused all those who wanted to bribe the Qin family with money and grain to become officials in the court. However, some people found another way and sincerely expressed that they wanted to send a few sons and nephews to serve the elders and let Qin Siyuan discipline them on their behalf.

It would be difficult for Qin Siyuan to refuse a request like this.

Although some were rejected, some with relatively good qualifications were retained by Qin Siyuan.

The sixteenth young master Qin Shaoyu was one of them.

It’s just that when he was sent to him, Qin Shaoyu was already in his teens, and his character had been set and it was difficult to change. After arriving in the capital, he could patiently accept Qin Siyuan’s teachings at first. Later, he found that Qin Siyuan was very busy, so he gradually regained his dandy attitude. character.

When Ning Yi and others went to Beijing, Qin Siyuan estimated the time and asked Qin Shaoyu to wait at the dock every day to bring Ning Shixiong to the house in time. Who would have thought that this guy persisted for a few days and then went to a brothel to fool around…

Hearing this, Ning Yi smiled: “I see, brother Cheng, don’t worry, Ning doesn’t care about things like this, but my third brother has always been jealous of evil. This time, Young Master Shao Yu offended him, if there is another dandy The young master’s bad habit of being domineering… I’m afraid he will suffer a little.”

Cheng Zhouhai said with a smile: “It doesn’t matter. Although the Sixteenth Young Master has not achieved enough, he has not failed enough. Besides, with the teacher’s control, hanging around the brothel is the limit of what he can do…”

Having said this, Cheng Zhouhai paused and said in a low voice: “On the contrary, your three brothers… Since ancient times, Confucians have used literature to disrupt the law, and chivalrous people have used martial arts to violate the ban. This man relies on his martial arts, has no superiority, and is unscrupulous. This continues , I might be in danger of death!”

“…”

Ning Yi glanced at him and suddenly chuckled: “What Brother Cheng said is not unreasonable, but Brother Cheng, don’t worry, no one in this world can kill my brother. Even if he is surrounded by millions of troops, he can come and go freely.” .”

Cheng Zhouhai and others were shocked and doubtful after hearing this.

“…Is this true?”

“That’s natural.”

“So, the rumor that three heroes defeated a thousand armies is also true?”

“Ning saw it with his own eyes, and there is nothing false about it.”

“…”

Cheng Zhouhai and the three of them looked at each other and thought to themselves, “There is a strange person in this world, and it is unknown to the country.”

At this moment, Nian Gong suddenly sent a messenger to say that King Zhou of Qin was visiting.

“King Qin Zhou Lai…”

Cheng Zhouhai frowned, shook his head and said, “The teacher is not here, just push him.”

The servant shook his head and glanced at Ning Yi with a strange expression: “The King of Qin has said that he wants to name Mr. Ning…”

…Visit Ning Yi?

Cheng Zhouhai and others were stunned.

Why is this, and King Qin already knew it as soon as Ning Yi arrived in the capital.

Why does he pay so much attention to a son-in-law from the Su family in Jiangning?

A series of doubts appeared in the minds of Cheng Zhouhai and others.

Ning Yi also looked surprised on the surface, but he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough… King Qin Zhou Lai is also a time traveler who knows the plot!

“His Royal Highness King Qin is, after all, the third son of His Majesty and the brother of the Crown Prince. Since he insists on seeing Ning, let Ning go and see him!”

Ning Yi said with a smile.

Cheng Zhouhai and others looked at each other, thought for a moment, and nodded.

“That’s fine…”

…

…

Soon, Ning Yi and the monk Jueming, who was born in the royal family, came to the main hall.

At this time, a tall young man wearing black uniforms and looking heroic was standing in the lobby.

Yes, His Majesty was in his prime at that time, and King Zhou Lai of Qin, as his legitimate second son, was actually only fifteen years old this year.

But at the age of fifteen, a prince could innovate iron smelting technology, create cast-iron cannons, and get the emperor to make an exception and allow him to open a palace and build a palace. This was the first prince in the hundreds of years of history of the Wu Dynasty.

Seeing Ning Yi and Monk Jueming walking into the hall, King Qin Zhou Lai smiled on his face.

“Ning Yi, a common man, has met His Highness the King of Qin!”

Ning Yi smiled and cupped his hands in salute. Monk Jueming next to him raised his eyebrows, but did not correct him. He just smiled and cupped his hands, as if he wanted to help Ning Yi cover up his rude behavior.

But what Monk Jueming didn’t expect was that Zhou Lai, who was always nicknamed “King Su” in the capital, actually didn’t care about Ning Yi’s rudeness. Instead, he stepped forward with a smile and helped the two of them up.

The so-called Weideke is called Su, and Zhengji takes it down and is called Su.

The fact that King Qin was nicknamed “King Su” in Zhou Lai shows that in the eyes of others, he was an upright, serious and formidable person.

But now facing Ning Yi, King Qin, who had always been feared by his subordinates, actually put on a smile!

“Uncle Wang, you’re fine!”

Zhou Lai first smiled and said hello to Monk Jueming, then turned to look at Ning Yi and said meaningfully: “Mr. Su Wenning is the most talented man in Jiangning. I am not talented. I pride myself on poetry and prose.” I also have some accomplishments, and recently I made half a poem on a whim, I wonder if Mr. Ning would like to have a taste of it?”

Monk Jueming was surprised and said, “His Royal Highness, King Qin, has written poetry again?”

King Qin smiled and nodded: “I get something occasionally.”

Monk Jueming showed an enthusiastic expression on his face, and introduced to Ning Yi with a smile: “His Royal Highness King Qin has been smart since childhood. When he was twelve years old, he wrote a poem in seven steps at the Queen’s birthday banquet, which shocked everyone. Unfortunately, His Highness did not have this ambition. There are no more poems since then…”

“I see.”

Ning Yi smiled and nodded: “It seems that Ning is very lucky. As soon as he entered Beijing, he could hear the second poem by His Highness King Qin.”

King Qin smiled nonchalantly, stared at Ning Yi and said: “Mr. Ning, please give me some advice – the scenery of the northern country is covered with ice for thousands of miles, and snow is drifting for thousands of miles. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness, and the rivers are flowing up and down. …”

After King Qin finished reading the first half of the poem, Ning Yi showed admiration, and Monk Jueming could not hide his joy and exclamation.

“Okay, okay!”

“What a wonderful poem, Qinyuanchun. It is majestic, broad-minded and heroic. It describes the magnificent mountains and rivers of China. It seems that since the poem was written in seven steps, His Highness the King of Qin has made further progress in poetry!”

“It’s a pity that this word only has the upper half, and it still lacks some meaning.”

Monk Jueming had a look of regret on his face.

King Qin smiled and said, “Uncle Wang is so complimentary!”

After saying that, King Qin turned to look at Ning Yi.

“Mr. Ning, what do you think?”

“…” Ning Yi smiled slightly, “The words are good words, but… was it really done by His Highness?”

Monk Jueming frowned. The magnificent mountains and rivers in this word are mostly the scenery of the northern country. His Highness King Qin has never left Bianliang since he was born, and has never seen the scenery of the north.

It is indeed a bit strange to make such a word.

But he is the King of Qin after all. Is it really okay to challenge him like this?

While Monk Jueming was a little frightened, King Qin Zhou Lai burst into laughter.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Ning is indeed the most talented person in Jiangning. You can tell right away that I am not the author of this poem.”

“I feel ashamed to say that this poem was actually written by an elder whom I respect very much. I just recited it through my mouth…”

“Oh?” Monk Jueming is a person who loves poetry. When he heard this sentence, he immediately asked expectantly, “Is there a second half?”

King Qin smiled and nodded: “Of course there is.”

Monk Jueming asked doubtfully: “Then why don’t you recite it?”

“Because it’s inappropriate.”

King Qin stared at Ning Yi closely.
