Chapter 379(1/2)

Du Yong originally wanted to spend this holiday leisurely, but the weather did not go as expected. He underestimated the boredom of the neighbors in the capital. The words of Cheng Fourth Master marrying his daughter soon spread throughout the capital.

The most common saying now is that Du Yong asked His Majesty to come forward to propose marriage to Cheng’s family. His Majesty was sincere in his opinion. In addition, Du Yong had some military achievements, so he agreed on the spot and also awarded Du Yong a title, so he would not be worthy of Cheng’s beloved daughter.

This statement is convincing, because the title is rare. If you have to be matched with the Fourth Master’s beloved daughter, it is still a bit difficult to get the title based on Du Yong’s age and qualifications.

The incident became more and more serious, which made many people come to confirm. Of course, Du Yong strongly denied it, but everyone did not believe it. A few enthusiastic people even brought gifts to Du Yong, and even Pei Ming sent someone to congratulate him, which was the same.

The palace did not deny the rumors, so Du Yong had to ask his uncle Du Zongcheng to ask him to go to the palace to ask His Majesty, but Du Zongcheng said that it would be difficult to enter the palace without receiving the summons.

Du Yong had no choice but to go to Cheng's family to ask, but as soon as he arrived near Cheng's mansion, he was pointed at by a group of neighbors, saying that the groom came to see the bride, which scared him to flee on the spot. After this incident, the story became more and more evident. Some even said that Du Yong often had a secret meeting with Miss Cheng, and was in the teahouse west of the city. In the end, even Du Zongye and Du Zonglong sent people to inquire.

"Outstanding!"

Du Yong had no choice but to curse, and then ordered Lingling and Qingyao: "You two, hurry up and pack your luggage, and we will leave tonight!"

Lingling was stunned: "Young master, isn't it a rumor? Why are you so anxious to leave?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's a rumor."

Du Yong had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is to go quickly, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall!"

Qingyao frowned slightly: "Young Master, aren't you escaping? After you leave, the neighbors will still spread it."

Du Yong spread his hands: "If you don't leave, you may be beaten."

Qingyao laughed silently: "Young master is really, you haven't committed any trouble, who will hit you?"

Du Yong turned his fingers: "First of all, the Second Highness, he is the prince, he always wants to save face, right? Secondly, Cheng Fourth Master. After he returned to Beijing, he heard such rumors spread from his daughter and me, and he would definitely kill me."

Qingyao had no choice but to pack her luggage with Lingling.

In the afternoon, halfway through the luggage, He Laosan came to report: "Young Master, something is not good. The Second Highness sent the guards to the door to invite you to see him. They are in the living room now, and they look very bad. They don't look like they are here to invite someone, but they are like they are here to seek punishment."

"Finished!"

Du Yong felt panic and walked back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself: "What should I do?"

He Laosan said again: "Fortunately, Brother Yang is smart. He said you had an urgent matter last night, so you hurried out and haven't returned yet."

Du Yong was immediately overjoyed: "Butler Yang is still reliable. You can hold on at home, so I'll leave now."

After saying that, you just open the window, and you have to jump out of the window.

Lingling held her back: "Young Master, where are you going?"

Du Yong spread his hands: "Where can you go? Of course, you are leaving the city. Go back to the Qianzhou General Administration Office and you can follow suit."

Qingyao frowned slightly: "Young Master, it's not good to deceive like this. After all, it's someone from the Second Highness, who represents the Second Highness."

Du Yong snorted: "Who said I was cheating? Nie Wentao had already made an appointment with me and asked me to go to Huaili City to help him. With the current situation, it is urgent to rebuild Huaili City. It is related to the rise and fall of Qianzhou and must not be ignored."

Although these words were righteous, Lingling and Qingyao both laughed out loud after hearing this.

It was still He Lao San who supported him: "Young Master is right, it is Huaili City."

Du Yong nodded and instructed: "You finish well, then go out of the city quickly, don't delay."

After saying that, he jumped out of the window, and several people rose and fell to the wall and climbed out of the wall.

Du Yong left the city smoothly, but Yang Jin and Pinyuren felt very uncomfortable. At this time, the guards who accompanied the smiling face to deal with Pei Huo were serving them with good wine and food, and even asked them to go to Fenghua Tower tonight, with all the fees in mind.

"Brother Yang, thank you for your kindness. We are now on orders and we must ask Mr. Du to see the Second Highness!"

Pei Huo's guards did not accept Yang Jin's invitation. They sat very well, had a tense expression and a very cold-eyed look, and they really meant to be provoking a criminal.

A guard stared at Yang Jin: "You are Mr. Du's escort, I wonder where he went?"

Yang Jin felt uncomfortable being stared at, cursed in his heart, but his face was innocent, and he spread his hands: "Our young master has always been like this. He pays attention to efficiency and mystery in his work, and often he will not explain it to me."

He Laosan, who returned to the living room, speculated in an incident: "Brother Yang, could it be the magistrate of County Nie? Didn't he say before that the young master would help him rebuild Huaili City."

Yang Jin nodded immediately: "It's possible!"

Pinyuren also agreed: "Mr. Nie County has indeed made an appointment with the young master."

Pei Huo's guard snorted coldly: "Rebuilding Huaili City is a big deal, but there is no rush."

Pinyuren was calm: "It is indeed not in a hurry to rebuild the city, but Mu Feixiong's Feizi Camp is still there and needs to be prepared. Our young master has participated in the battle to regain the city, so he knows how to prevent it."

Pei Huo's guards knew that Yang Jin and Pin Yuren might be talking nonsense, but they didn't know how to refute it.

After a while of silence, a guard asked to go to the backyard to take a look.

Yang Jin's face darkened and he said a little dissatisfied: "Do you suspect I'm lying?"

The guard chuckled and said, "I don't doubt Brother Yang. As Brother Yang said before, Mr. Du's actions are mysterious. Maybe he has come back now."

Yang Jin glanced at him and said lightly: "There are female relatives in the backyard, so it is not convenient for so many people to go in."

The guard said, "Then please trouble Brother Yang to accompany me in?"

Yang Jin had no choice but to nod, stand up and lead the way.

When they went to the backyard, the guards checked every room in the backyard loft, only saw Lingling and Qingyao, and finally gave up.

"Let's go!"

Since Du Yong was not at home, Pei Huo's guards had no reason to stay for too long, so they could only leave in disappointment.

Looking at their backs, Yang Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly: "What's this?"

Dahei couldn't help but complain: "These people are too domineering. They ran to the backyard to search, completely ignoring etiquette and sympathy."

"They are Pei Huo's guards, of course they are domineering!"

He Laosan snorted coldly, then breathed a long sigh, Xingqing said: "Fortunately, the young master immediately made a decision and left the wall, otherwise Pei Huo would have been labeled as a maliciously playing trick on the royal family."

Pinyuren asked, "What do you say to the young master?"

He Laosan smiled and said, "He left the city first, let us finish as soon as possible, and then follow."

Yang Jin thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the Marquis' Mansion to say that we will pack up our things tonight and leave the city tomorrow."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Another incident happened in the evening, and Pei Huo actually killed the Nie family directly.

Nie Qingyun was having dinner with his family. He was very confused about Pei Huo coming to the door in person, but with his status and strength, he naturally would not be afraid of Pei Huo. He calmly welcomed Pei Huo into the living room: "The Second Highness is very honored to visit the humble house, Wei Chen feels great, please sit down!"

"Mr. Nie doesn't have to be too polite!"

Although Pei Huo was arrogant, he also knew who could provoke who could not provoke him. Nie Qingyun just could not provoke him, so he was very polite: "Xiao Wang came here just to ask Du Yong about it, and it would not delay Mr. Nie too much time."

"Your Highness, you are kind!"

Nie Qingyun personally poured a cup of tea for Pei Huo and asked seriously: "Du Yong? Isn't it more convenient for His Highness to go directly to ask him?"

Pei Huo said in a muffled voice: "Xiao Wang sent someone to Du's house, but Du Yong was not here. He said he suddenly went out last night and had not returned yet. He didn't even know where he went."

"oh?"

Nie Qingyun was stunned on the surface, but his head was turning quickly.

In his perception, Du Yong trusted Yang Jin extremely, and it was impossible not to tell Yang Jin when he went out, that there must be something strange about it.

Looking at Pei Huo's expression again, it seemed like he was going to trouble Du Yong. Du Yong suddenly went out, so he must have no choice.

Inferring this way, Nie Qingyun smiled and said, "That boy Du Yong has always been mysterious. When he was in the Qianzhou General Administration, my general administration often couldn't find him, so he had to send a guard to search. He suddenly went out last night, so he should have something urgent to do."

Pei Huo asked directly: "Mr. Nie, I heard that the reconstruction of Huaili City was handed over to Nie Wentao. Does Du Yong need assistance?"

Nie Qingyun nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course Du Yong needs assistance. He is an important person. He has experienced many things in Huaili City, including defending the city and destroying the city, and sweeping the bandits in surrounding towns. So he is very familiar with Huaili City. The county magistrate Nie Wentao also reported to me before and asked Du Qiwei to help. Nie Wentao and Du Yong worked together in Dali Temple before, and they are very familiar with each other. I am full of confidence in their cooperation and let them strengthen communication. If there is any urgent matter, you can take action first and then report it."

"That's how it works!"

After hearing this, Pei Huo's expression finally calmed down a little.

Nie Qingyun still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he asked back: "Second Your Highness, why haven't you said you're going to find Du Qiwei?"

Pei Huo was stunned and immediately recovered, chuckled, "I mainly want to care about Huaili City."

Nie Qingyun said oh, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Second Highness is worried about the country and the people, which is a great blessing for the court!"

Pei Huo waved his hand and said lightly: "Mr. Nie is too rewarded, but Xiao Wang is dull. Please give Nie Qingyun some advice."

"I really don't dare to take the advice!"

Nie Qingyun was very modest and smiled and said, "If the Second Prince has time, you can visit the Qianzhou General Administration Office at any time to see the scenery of Qianzhou City and surrounding towns, or go to the army to take a look, eat a big pot of rice, and can also boost morale."

Pei Huo was very happy when he saw Nie Qingyun’s sincere speech and nodded: “If you have time, you will definitely go there. At that time, General Manager Nie should not think that Xiao Wang is troubled.”

Nie Qingyun laughed and said, "The Second Prince is not in any trouble. It's too late to welcome the Qianzhou General Administration."

This topic stops here.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Pei Huo suddenly asked, "Mr. Nie, Xiao Wang has something to ask about."

Nie Qingyun said seriously: "The Second Highness, but it's okay."

Pei Huo made a few gestures, as if he didn't know how to say it, and finally asked in an indirect tone: "Master Nie, Xiao Wang heard that his father came to the palace, Du Shaobao and Du Yong were there too?"

Isn't this a well-known thing?

Nie Qingyun was confused, but he still kept smiling on the surface: "That's right! That day, Your Majesty, Wei, and Du Shaobao discussed the affairs of Ganzhou and Quzhou, and witnessed His Majesty awarding Du Yong the title."
