I heard His Highness has supernatural powers

After bidding farewell to Yu Jue, Fu Yun and Tie Ying quickly returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

In the palace, Xuan Jing prepared a table of food and wine early and waited in the courtyard.Under the white osmanthus tree, there is a stone table, a table of appetizers, and a pot of hot wine, which has a special flavor in this moonlit night.

Seeing Fu Yun and Tie Ying climbing over the wall from mid-air, Xuan Jing stood up calmly and greeted them.He was even ready to be questioned by Fu Yun, but it was not Fu Yun who started the attack, but the little black cat in Tie Ying's arms.It only heard a "meow", and flew into Xuan Jing's arms, scratching his chest for a while, but all of a sudden, Xuan Jing's body had already been caught with several holes.Xuan Jing also smiled and let the little black cat vent. After all, going to Qilin was a bit risky. If he hadn't considered that the people there would directly shoot down the little bird with a hidden weapon, he wouldn't have sent the little black cat there.Judging by how furry this little guy is, he seems quite frightened.

After the little black cat finished venting, Xuan Jing asked Tie Ying to take it down to eat dried fish, and then turned his attention to Fu Yun.

Under the moonlight, Fu Yun stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, half hidden in the shadow, half bathed in moonlight.The expression on his face is unpredictable: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you are going to form an alliance with Qilin?"

Seeing Fu Yun like this, Xuan Jing knew he was angry.He considered his words, and was thinking about how to express his thoughts simply and clearly, when Fu Yun turned around abruptly and approached him in a bully manner.Fu Yun's vicious and angry expression immediately appeared in front of his eyes: "I, Q, you, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to bribe Qilin?!" Fu Yun's chest rose and fell slightly, showing that he was very angry.

"Because if I told you in advance, I'm afraid Yu would never accept the olive branch I handed over." Xuan Jing said truthfully.

Fu Yun frowned puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Xuan Jing pulled Fu Yun to sit down at the table, and poured wine into their glasses: "It's very simple, you are not an ordinary son of an official, right?"

Fu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he was smashed by someone.

Xuan Jing picked up his wine glass, and said slowly: "The black-clothed man who was treating me in the Lenggong disappeared overnight in Luobei County for no reason. The children of officials who have never been in contact with the Jianghu."

Following Xuan Jing's analysis, Fu Yun's face became paler and paler.

"So, you should have another identity, probably a very well-informed Jianghu organization, and your status is not low. Only in this way will you have enough time to play two roles. During the day, you will be the chief assistant of the court. At night, he is a part of the rivers and lakes." As Xuan Jing said, he stretched out his hand to lift a small lock of hair next to Fu Yun's cheek, and a tiny ant immediately crawled along Fu Yun's black hair onto Xuan Jing's index finger.

The moment he saw the little ant, Fu Yun's face turned pale again.Xuan Jing can communicate with small animals. What happened to him at Qilin, Xuan Jing must have known everything through the little ant.

Sure enough, Xuan Jing raised the little ant in his hand, smiled and said: "The little ant just told me that Yujue called you the domain master of the Sword Domain, it seems that my guess is correct. Xiao Yun's identity is really different Fantastic."

Fu Yun's lips moved slightly, with hurt in his eyes: "Are you suspicious of me? That's why you messed with me early in the morning?" If it was said that before, Fu Yun was hiding all the plans from him in Qi Xuanjing, he would always Telling himself at the last moment made him angry.Then at this moment, a cold chill began to appear all over his body.Because he suddenly realized that Xuan Jing might not trust him that much.Because you don't trust him, why don't you explain such an important matter as an alliance with Qilin to him in advance?

Seeing that although Fu Yun's tone was calm, but the veins on the back of his hand holding the wine glass were throbbing, he knew that the other party had misunderstood.Xuan Jing felt helpless and a little annoyed, he was annoyed that he had forgotten what kind of person Fu Yun was.Sensitive and extreme temperament, always easy to think of the worst in everything.Knowing that he didn't explain clearly and was afraid that the other party would get hurt, Xuan Jing had no choice but to immediately say: "Don't think too much. I don't doubt you, I just want to verify my guess in advance. If you weren't angry, even if I learned about your Sword Domain I will not reveal the identity of the leader in front of you now either. I will reveal it directly, just to answer your question just now."

"What?" Fu Yun was puzzled.

"Didn't you ask me just now, why didn't you tell you about the cooperation with Qilin in advance? It's very simple, because you are also a member of the world, and your status is not low, and you have too many similarities with Yujue. A person in power, My subordinates don’t need collaborators with repeated roles. For example, if I need help from Jianghu people, then it’s best for me to have only one martial arts person as my collaborator. Of course, if I need multiple parties, then I can’t behave too much with one party in front of them. close."

"Otherwise, the other party will be strongly wary." In fact, it is the so-called company management that if positions with similar powers are set up, the two are likely to tear each other apart and it is difficult to manage.If it is necessary to set up positions with overlapping responsibilities, as a manager, when recruiting people, it is very taboo to show a state of paying special attention to existing confidantes in front of applicants.Because it will mean that once he enters the company, it will be difficult to get promoted, and he may be put in the shoes of another person.Who would want to join your company?

Of course, it's not easy for Xuan Jing to express these management experiences in this way, so he can only express it in a way that Fu Yun can understand: "So, in order for Yujue to accept my conditions, I have to act as if I'm not that close to you. That being the case, of course I can't tell you about buying Qilin in advance. Only in this way will he let down his guard and accept my terms."

After Xuan Jing spoke eloquently, Fu Yun's complexion improved a lot: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Fu Yun was a little ashamed. Although he was not stupid, he always did things straight and straight, and never spent too much time thinking about these twists and turns.Unexpectedly, Xuanjing's every step has been so thoughtful, it can be said that every step is careful.

Xuan Jing took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "It's nothing. As I said, you don't need to do anything, you just need to trust me. In my current position, one wrong step will lead to an abyss. So you can't do things entirely by For my own preferences, I have to look forward and backward, and do it in the way that is most beneficial to me." He raised his glass to Fu Yun, "Next time, don't doubt me because of such a trivial matter, okay?"

Under Xuan Jing's gaze, Fu Yun coughed uncomfortably.This was the first time he had a disagreement with Xuan Jing because his strategy could not keep up with Xuan Jing's thinking, which made him feel very complicated.He raised his wine glass to touch Xuan Jing, and drank it down in one gulp: "Yeah."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the two returned to their previous harmonious state.Fu Yun recounted the clues he got from Yu Jue, and Xuan Jing listened carefully all the time.

"In this way, the hint given by Yujue is to let us check from the friends your father made back then?" Xuan Jing said.

"Well, after thinking about it, there are only two people who walked closest to my father. One is Qiu Yan, the current first-level young mansion, and the other resigned from office and left Beijing three years after my father died. His whereabouts are unknown. Han Tsingyi. These two are the most suspicious, and the others are people who don’t have a close relationship, so they can be ignored.”

Xuan Jing touched his chin, his eyes were deep: "Of these two people, who do you suspect the most?"

Fu Yun snorted coldly: "Of course that Han Qingyi, whose whereabouts are unknown, did something wrong, so after getting the money, he wrapped up his parcel and fled for his life." In Jianghu, he saw this kind of person a lot.

Xuan Jing smiled and shook his head, "I think there is something wrong with that Qiu Yan."

"Oh?"

Xuan Jing said: "If you are in the officialdom, you can't use the way people in the world think about things. People in the officialdom seek power, and money is second. When you are in a high position, money will naturally come to you in a steady stream. Come over. So judging from the current situation, it is Qiu Yan who has benefited the most, isn't it?" Seeing that Fu Yun frowned and remained silent, as if he couldn't fully accept his thoughts, the corners of Xuanjing's lips curled up, and he smiled playfully , "If Xiaoyun doesn't believe it, why don't we make a bet."

Fu Yun raised his eyes, and there was interest in them: "What are you betting on?"

Xuan Jing said: "If Xiao Yun loses, he will wear the clothes I gave you last time when he goes to bed at night."

Fu Yun's smile froze.The transparent gauze that was almost seen through appeared in his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Okay, if you lose, you can wear it!"

"No problem." Xuan Jing was straightforward.

***

After the rest period, Xuan Jing and Fu Yun made an appointment to go to court together early in the morning.This is the first time that Xuan Jing went to the early court as a prince instead of a prince, and he received attention from various officials as soon as he arrived at the main hall.The gazes of several of them were so hot that he felt as if his body was going to be burned by a ball of fire.One of these people is a few military officers headed by the Taiwei, and the other two groups are the third prince and the fourth prince headed by the prince, and the sixth prince who is independent with the second prince.After several months of rest, the sixth prince's leg that was crushed by Xuan Jing at the beginning has grown back.

These princes looked at Xuan Jing viciously, as if Xuan Jing killed their whole family.Especially the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince, their eyes almost burst into flames.That's right, Xuan Jing used his body fat to break several bones of the two of them, and then he showed his glory in front of the envoys of Yun Kingdom, and then he exposed the corruption problem in the flood control project because of the disaster relief. , was proclaimed King Jing by the emperor, and it can be said that the journey went smoothly.No wonder they're not mad.

What's more, because of this corruption case, many of the second prince's and sixth prince's mother clan forces were pulled down, which greatly reduced their influence in the court.Therefore, compared to the prince and his party, the two of them hated Xuanjing even more.

As if Xuan Jing couldn't feel the eyes of these people, together with Fu Yun, he nodded and greeted the courtiers who came forward to salute him with a smile, until a loud eunuch's voice announced the arrival of the emperor, everyone put their minds to rest and lined up stand up.
