After crossing, let yourself go

Chapter 145

Han Jiu and Master Liu chatted until late, and Master Liu rushed home early the next day, like an anxious monkey. Han Jiu told Xiye what he thought, and Xiye didn't care, but was afraid that the contract would bring a lot of money.

Song Ruochen thought more about it. The most important thing was that he was afraid that he would offend Yan Beiming. After all, that place used to be the imperial palace. If someone behaved inappropriately or said something inappropriate, he would be killed, and would the anger be directed at Xiaojiu?

Yan Hongzhi, who heard about this, thought it was a good idea. It was good for Yan Beiming, who was now the emperor, to know that Xiaojiu was only thinking about making money. If he only cared about money, he would not care about power, so he would feel more at ease. Moreover, this matter was indeed beneficial to Yan Beiming. In this way, he could collect some of the wealth held by those in Anping State that could rival the enemy. The method was fair and just, so why not do it?

That day, Han Jiu came to Pei Qing's door and asked, "Pei Qing, are you asleep?"

Pei Qing has been living in Han Jiu's mansion these days, so naturally Fu Sangke has also been living here. Pei Qing and Fu Sangke were chatting about governing the imperial capital in the house. When Pei Qing heard Han Jiu's voice, he stood up and opened the door, "Master."

Han Jiu saw that Fu Sangke hadn't entered the room yet. He knew that the two of them were mostly talking about military matters. "Is it convenient?"

"Master, come in. It's cold outside." If it wasn't convenient, he wouldn't have talked with General Fu here, right, Master?

Han Jiu came in and sat at the table. Fu Sangke smiled at her and said, "Pei Qing and I are talking about the security of the imperial capital. There is nothing inconvenient. Third Young Master, you worry too much."

"I'm scared of you two generals sitting together," Han Jiu said jokingly as he poured himself a cup of tea.

"Young Master" Pei Qing felt uncomfortable with what she said, and he didn't want the Young Master to feel that he was far away from him.

"I was just kidding, why do you take it seriously? Look, General Fu doesn't care." This person is always so serious.

"Third Young Master, do you mean that I am too thick-skinned?" Fu Sangke replied indifferently.

Han Jiu and Pei Qing were both stunned, and then all three of them burst into laughter.

Han Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "No more joking, Pei Qing, I have something to talk to you about. I want to see the emperor in a few days. Would you like to send someone to pass on a message first?"

Pei Qing asked curiously, "Young Master, what does the Emperor want to do?" If it was someone else, the Emperor would definitely not ask any questions, but it would be different if the Young Master was looking for the Emperor.

He knew very well what kind of person the young master was, and he hated nothing to do with imperial power.

"Seek some financial help from the emperor, but I can't say much if it doesn't work out" to prevent this person from worrying all the time.

Fu Sangke glanced at Pei Qing and said to Han Jiu, "I will go back in a few days to report the situation here to the emperor. Third Young Master, why don't you come with me?"

"That's great. It's my honor to travel with the general." Han Jiu patted Pei Qing on the shoulder. "What are you thinking about? If it works, we in the Han family will have delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day. If it doesn't work, Pei Qing, you have to bring me rice and clothes." There are a whole courtyard of people to feed. We can't just live off our savings forever.

Pei Qing nodded seriously, "Yes"

Han Jiu and Fu Sangke looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts, what a fool.

After seeing off Han Jiu and Pei Qing, they continued what they had just discussed. Suddenly Fu Sangke remembered something and asked, "The pregnant woman I saw during the day is..." the woman who killed Han Jiu's second brother.

Pei Qing nodded, "Yes, the young master has been keeping her in the mansion because she is pregnant with the Han family's heir."

"Who is the girl next to her?" Fu Sangke was not very familiar with the people of Dayan.

"Her name is Yang Liuying, and she is Yang Yuanyi's elder sister. Why does the general ask this?" He knew Fu Sangke. General Fu was definitely not someone who would care about such things.

Fu Sangke frowned slightly. After all, it was someone else's family matter. As an outsider, it was really inconvenient for him to say anything. But thinking of what he overheard today, "Today, when I was waiting for you, I overheard a conversation between the two of them. The girl named Yang Liuying said something that was very puzzling. Maybe I was overthinking it."

"What are you talking about? General, tell me quickly." Pei Qing could not ignore even a little bit of Yang Yuanyi's matter.

"The girl named Yang Liuying told Yang Yuanyi that you can rest assured that the Third Young Master will not find you." Fu Sangke looked at Pei Qing, "I always feel that this sentence is wrong."

Pei Qing frowned and thought deeply, then suddenly stood up and said, "General Fu, please don't mention this matter to the young master. You sit down first, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he quickly opened the door and left.

Pei Qing went out and took a look into Han Jiu's room. After confirming that Han Jiu was in his room, he left the yard and went straight to Song Ruochen.

After Pei Qing told Song Ruochen what General Fu said, he fell into deep thought. Song Ruochen frowned and said, "There is always someone around Yang Yuanyi, and she would report her situation to Xiaojiu every few days. But I was careless with Yang Liuying."

"Sir, are you going to tell the young master?" Yang Liuying actually wanted to help Yang Yuanyi escape. Fortunately, she found out early. She was really careless.

"Xiao Jiu has always been resistant to what happened to Yang Yuanyi. Don't tell her. Although Xiao Jiu didn't talk about Han Feng's matter, you and I both know that she has never let it go. If she knew, she would be furious." She couldn't kill her, and in the end Xiao Jiu would only torture herself.

Pei Qing nodded, "I thought so too, that's why I told you right away."

"I'll take care of this matter." Yang Liuying must have wanted to help Yang Yuanyi escape out of sisterhood. She was probably afraid that once the child was born, Yang Yuanyi would be in danger of death.

But didn’t the girl ever think about what would happen if Xiaojiu knew about this? He himself didn’t dare to imagine what Xiaojiu would do if such a thing really happened.

"Either I send soldiers to guard the place or simply prevent Yang Liuying from meeting her." Pei Qing was still a little worried.

"We can't do this. Xiaojiu is so smart. If you send troops over, she will know what happened in an instant. It doesn't make sense not to let them meet. Xiaojiu will be even more suspicious. Don't worry, they can't do anything while I'm here." In the past, he didn't care about those two women at all, but it would be different in the future.

"I feel relieved when you say that, sir. If you need me, just tell me directly." Pei Qing has always trusted Song Ruochen.

Yang Bo noticed that his sister was absent-minded these days and often distracted. He tapped her bowl with his chopsticks and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Yang Liuying came back to her senses and said, "No, I didn't think about anything."

He would not know his own sister, "Tell me, if you don't tell me, I will punish you."

Yang Liuying hurriedly took two mouthfuls of the rice in the bowl and put it down. "I'm full. I'm going to see my sister."

Yang Bo looked at his sister's back and asked curiously, "What happened to this girl these days?"

Mrs. Yang, the mother of the brother and sister, glanced at the pile of children's clothes on the table at the door and said lightly, "Keep an eye on your sister these days. I'm afraid that girl will cause trouble." She knew her own flesh best.

Yang Bo looked at his mother with a puzzled look on his face, "She is so timid, what trouble can she cause?" She has been well-behaved since she was a child.

Madam Yang said nothing, her shrewd eyes fixed on the pile of clothes. "I'm afraid she'll get carried away by her emotions and do something she'll regret."

Yang Bo followed his mother's gaze, and was confused at first, but then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up, saying "That damn girl", then he got up and walked out of the room.
