Chapter 11 Meeting

Yuan Tang half-closed his eyelids, looking sleepy, his mind was spinning fast, guessing Shen Jingxuan's intention to spy on Feng Cong.It is the attitude of ordinary people like Zhou Xianpei to be secretive about Feng Cong. As far as Yuan Tang knows so far, those who would care about Feng Cong are either the emperor's people, or people who are old with Prince Wenxi.

Shen Jingxuan suddenly mentioned Feng Cong, it could not be just out of curiosity, a family background like him would not know what Feng Cong's existence meant to the emperor.Yuan Tang accidentally harmed Feng Cong once, and he must not be harmed a second time.

"There is such a thing," Yuan Tang said, "Uncle De was ordered to send His Highness to Jiyang, and His Highness came back with us."

Shen Jingxuan nodded, and asked again: "Do you know where he is now?"

"At the county mansion, my uncle picked up His Highness not long after I came back."

Shen Jingxuan frowned, as if thinking about something.

Yuan Tang turned over and said vaguely, "Sir Brother Shen, go to sleep, you've been tired all day too."

But Shen Jingxuan said: "Don't sleep yet, let me ask you, I heard that Ze Roujun met His Highness when they supported Jucheng, how did they meet, have you met His Highness?"

Yuan Tang rubbed his eyes and said, "I've seen it a few times. His Highness was so brave when defending the city. We all thought His Highness was a small official in Jucheng, and we didn't know who he was."

"I really went to Jucheng..." Shen Jingxuan murmured, and then asked: "I don't know who he is, why did I bring him from Jucheng to Zerou, and how did I find out his identity?"

Just now Yuantang felt that Shen Jingxuan was good, but now he felt that this person was difficult to deal with. He picked up the experience and replied roughly: "His Royal Highness was injured, he was transported back to Zerou to recuperate, and later he was recognized by Lu Changshi."

Shen Jingxuan nodded, and suddenly raised his eyes to look into Yuan Tang's, and said, "Erlang, I have something to ask you, which is very important to me. Can you let me meet with His Highness?"

Yuan Tang was startled, and his face was also very surprised, he said: "This... Third brother, why did you see him?"

Shen Jingxuan said: "I have a secret conversation with His Highness, don't worry, if someone finds out, I will bear all the culpability, and I guarantee it with the reputation of the Shen family."

Yuan Tang's eyes flickered, and he was panicked: "This, I can't be the master of this. Your Highness is in the county mansion, and you have to pass through your uncle to see him. Besides, I heard from your uncle that Xiao Jishi has sent someone to protect His Highness so that no one else can approach him." Why don't Third Brother Shen go directly to uncle?"

Shen Jingxuan's eyes paused for a moment on Yuantang's face, and suddenly said firmly: "Erlang, you lied. You don't seem to care about His Highness's affairs, but you avoid my questions everywhere, and you know that Xiao Shanzhi sent someone to guard you. He. At your age, you can handle the family affairs in an orderly manner. You are clearly not a vague person. I asked you if you could see His Highness, but you didn't immediately refuse when you thought you couldn't. Instead, you asked me why I wanted to see him, and pushed it to Mr. Zhou , you and Your Highness have met a few times, right?"

Yuan Tang felt like a cool breeze was blowing on his face, secretly startled by Shen Jingxuan's keenness, he didn't dodge or evade, and he didn't admit it, instead he asked Shen Jingxuan: "Then third brother, can you tell me why I want to see him?"

A smile appeared on Shen Jingxuan's lips, as if he had encountered something interesting, and said, "I never thought that Feng Cong would be able to make friends with someone like you after he came out."

Shen Jingxuan originally wanted to find Zhou Xianpei through Yuan Tang, because the relationship between the Yuan family and the Shen family is deeper, and the Zhou and Yuan families are in-laws. It is safer to have the Yuan family in the middle, but he found that Yuan Tang's reaction was beyond his expectations. .

Yuan Tang was noncommittal, he was not worried that Shen Jingxuan would see his thoughts, and if he didn't figure out Shen Jingxuan's intentions, he would not reveal anything about Feng Cong to Shen Jingxuan, nor would he do anything for Shen Jingxuan.

If Shen Jingxuan wants to get in touch with Feng Cong, he can only go to Xiao Shanzhi. He and Xiao Shanzhi are in the same boat, Zhou Xianpei and Yuan Tang are on the same side, and there is no one else in Jiyang City who can make Shen Jingxuan his wish.

Shen Jingxuan said solemnly: "To be honest, I came this time not only to express condolences on behalf of the Shen family, but also for this Highness. This involves old things in the palace, so I shouldn't have told you about it, but since I want you to help, it doesn't make sense Keep it secret. Your Highness ran away from Fayuan Temple privately, and His Majesty has already become suspicious of him. If he is brought back to the capital by Xiao Shanzhi, it may be a disaster. I came here this time to save him. You don’t have to worry. What I do will never involve the Yuan family and the Zhou family."

When Yuan Tang heard that Feng Cong could be saved, his heart jumped, but he still didn't dare to believe it, and said, "It's not that I don't believe the third brother, but it's true that the third brother meets the heir of the prince, and it's not Yuan Tang who can make the decision alone. How do you know that what the third brother said is true. Naturally, there is no doubt about the character of the third brother, but this matter is extraordinary, and if it is serious, it will implicate the entire county government, and Yuantang cannot easily agree."

Borrowing the light, Shen Jingxuanzai looked carefully, as if he wanted to get to know Yuantang again, the smile on his lips became more obvious, and he said: "I underestimated you, I thought you were just calmer than others, but I didn't expect you to be so calm at this age. So cautious. Your suspicion is justified, but what good is it for me to lie to you. Feng Cong has been guarded by Xiao Shanzhi. How can I treat him when I see him? Could it be possible to kill him in person? You know, the Shen family I was kicked out of the imperial court a long time ago, but in fact it was all because His Majesty had suspicions about the Shen family, as a member of the Shen family, I cannot win His Majesty's trust with what I have done, so there is no reason to make a fuss about this matter to invite favor."

Yuan Tang asked: "Why do you have to meet His Highness to save him? How do you plan to save him?"

Shen Jingxuan said: "Because His Highness needs to cooperate, and I want to make sure that he is safe now." He also made a fool of himself, "As for what plans I have, I have to see His Highness before I can tell him face to face."

Yuan Tang thought carefully, he didn't dare to judge by the friendship between the Yuan family and the Shen family, he only considered Shen Jingxuan's position, he didn't need to harm Feng Cong, but Shen Jingxuan didn't look like Prince Wenxi's old friend, his age was wrong Unless some elder of their Shen family had an old relationship with Prince Wenxi and instructed Shen Jingxuan to rescue Feng Cong.Yuan Tang knew too little information, so he couldn't figure out why.

After thinking over and over again, Yuan Tang said, "Whether I want to see you or not depends on His Highness's own will." He couldn't judge, Feng Cong could always do it himself.

Shen Jingxuan's eyes moved: "Oh, if His Highness agrees, can you let me avoid Xiao Shanzhi and see him?"

Yuan Tang smiled without saying a word.

Shen Jingxuan added another sentence: "It's best as soon as possible."

It was difficult to avoid Xiao Shanzhi seeing Feng Cong, but Yuan Tang could really do it.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Yuan Tang is now a local snake. In Jiyang City, the people and property he can command are definitely not comparable to Xiao Shanzhi. Even if Xiao Shanzhi brings hundreds of servants, it is still incomparable. power.

Yuan Tang first got Zhou Xianpei's consent. In fact, Yuan Tang originally planned to meet Feng Cong before he left Jiyang, but it was difficult to persuade Zhou Xianpei—this matter must be cooperated with Zhou Xianpei—now Shen Jingxuan came, but it would be easier. .

Yuantang brought out the relationship between Shen Jingxuan and the Shen family, Zhou Xianpei weighed it for a long time, and agreed to arrange cover for them.

The servant of the county government sent a letter to Feng Cong while delivering the meal, and got a reply letter from Feng Cong agreeing to meet.

At the end of November, Xiao Shanzhi was invited by the Xin family of the Jiyang family to visit the Xin family's manor in Longxiao Mountain. Longxiao Mountain is twenty miles away from Jiyang. It will take three days at the earliest for Xiao Shanzhi to go. To come back, because of the long distance, Xiao Shanzhi took away most of the servants of the Xiao family.

Once he left, not to mention the Yuan family, the whole Ji Yang was somewhat clean.

During the day, Yuan Tang still mourned in front of the coffin, but at night, he and Shen Jingxuan secretly drove from the back door of Yuan's house to the county mansion, and changed into the clothes of a county mansion servant.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the guards, Zhou Xianpei replaced the servants serving Feng Cong with those who were similar in stature to Yuantang and Shen Jingxuan a few days earlier. The soldiers and servants eat wine.

When they were drinking to their heart's content, Yuan Tang and Shen Jingxuan each carried the food box and the other carried the brocade quilt bedding and walked into the small courtyard arranged by the county government to seal Cong.

Entrusted by Yuan Tang, Zhou Xianpei arranged a secluded yard for Feng Cong. The house is spacious and well-furnished. The entrance is a long case and a table. On the case are a copper pot and several cups, one of which is half full of water At the top is a couch surrounded by a screen, covered with mattresses and soft pillows, and hanging curtains, making the lights in the room dim.

There was no sign of Feng Cong when he entered the door, so Yuan Tang put down the food box and called out, "Your Highness, it's time for dinner."

A series of footsteps sounded from the inner room on the left, and a figure flashed behind the curtain, and came out like the wind, and then heard Feng Cong's voice: "Why are you here?" Then he said to Shen Jingxuan: "You can just come by yourself, why not Take the little general."

Yuan Tang turned to the source of the voice, wanted to say something else, but when he saw the man's face, he blurted out and asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Jing cast a glance at Yuantang: "That's strange, you don't recognize him, and you still don't let me ask him like a hen guarding its cubs? Did I bring Erlang here? He wanted to come by himself. If he didn't nod, I can't see you either."

Yuan Tang took a big step back and said, "You are Feng Cong?"

The face in front of him is handsome and extraordinary, the raised phoenix eyes are full of vigor, and a ray of golden light in his pupils appears and disappears from time to time, which is splendid and intimidating. He is wearing a jade-colored robe, and it is already the winter season. Thin, but he himself doesn't seem to feel the cold. There is no belt or flap on his clothes, and the lapels are slightly open. Because of the tall and straight figure of the wearer, the clothes don't look loose at all, and the sleeves move with everyone, showing a kind of unrestrained and unrestrained.

Feng Cong looked strange, touched his chin, reacted, and said with a smile: "Little General, you don't recognize me without a beard?"

Yuan Tang did not recognize it just now, and said, "How old are you, how could you spoil yourself like that!"

Feng Cong forgot to look outside and extinguished the two candles in the main room, making his figure even more like a ghost.

"How old am I? Anyway, I'm older than you. I don't have time to tidy up, and I don't want to be recognized by others. I grew some beards and put some fake ones on, and that's it."

Yuan Tang thought of Feng Cong's scruffy face before, looked at Feng Cong now, and shook his head.

Shen Jingxuan also sat across from Feng Cong, and said in a cool tone, "It seems that you are doing well."

Yuan Tang thought that they probably still had something to talk about, and he might have to avoid it, so he took the initiative to pick up the brocade quilt and planned to take it to the bedroom.Feng Cong pulled him to sit down, and said, "Don't worry, sit down, there's nothing you can't hear. This is Shen Jingxuan, the third son of the Shen family. We grew up together as a child. The little general Fenglin Shen knows, it's amazing. In the future If you have any problem that you can't solve, you can come to him, with the Shen family as your backer, you don't have to worry about not being named a general in the future."

Shen Jingxuan smiled coldly when he heard the words, but did not deny his relationship with Feng Cong.

Yuan Tang's curiosity was aroused again. He heard that Feng Cong was sent to Shangyun Fayuan Temple since he was a child. Could it be that Shen Jingxuan also became a monk since he was a child, and the two of them are not alike.

Moreover, Shen Jingxuan and Feng Cong have such a good relationship, and they didn't tell him at all before. Judging by Shen Jingxuan's expression, it seemed that he was still a little awkward.
