"Haha! My Prince Consort is on a mission to Mongolia for the sake of the country and the people! Why do you have to come to see me off now?"

The people haven't arrived yet, but the sound has arrived.

Just when Zhengyao had just finished arguing with Yan Hao and others and was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and discovered to his surprise that the person coming was Yang Jin, whom he had not seen for a long time!

Who is Yang Jin? The son of Huaihai Marquis Yang Dingfang, the young Marquis! In addition to a lot of limelight in the talent competition, even Prince Jing was full of praise for him!

And this Yang Jin and Zheng Yao are quite close, they both hate each other as much as they hate each other, and they both feel unhappy when they see Yan Hao.

The dispute between Zhengyao and Yan Hao just now is in sharp contrast with the arrival of Yang Jin now.

"Brother Yang! Little Marquis, I'm disrespectful! Long time no see!"

Zhengyao immediately turned around and stepped forward to greet him, saying very politely.

In fact, Zhengyao had quite a few friends, but apart from Liu Yan, Zhang Cheng, Yuan Haiyun and others, the only ones he was really close to were Yang Jin and Qin Shaotang, who was an outstanding chess player.

"Brother Yang!"

Seeing Yang Jin walking slowly towards him, Liu Yan, Zhang Cheng and others also came over one after another. They were already so familiar with each other and politely wanted to say hello.

"Haha, the prince-in-law and the adults are so polite! Yang is here this time, firstly to see her off, and secondly because she has something she wants to say to the prince-in-law."

Yang Jin smiled and smiled, but when he walked to Zhengyao, he suddenly suppressed his smile and his expression became serious.

"Thank you, Brother Yang! I don't know what Brother Yang can tell you? Is it important?"

Zhengyao was such a smart man. His sharp eyes could hardly hide anything from him. So at a glance, he knew that what Yang Jin said might be important.

Yang Jin nodded, looked around for a moment, and stayed for a moment specifically on Yan Hao and others, and then said: "It's a long story, so I'll make it short! Before I came here, the Japanese pirates along the coast of Fujian were attacked again.

They are causing trouble again, and I suspect that this group of Japanese pirates are colluding with important officials in the DPRK!"

"There is collusion between Japanese pirates and important officials in the DPRK? Is there such a thing?"

Not only other people, but also Zhengyao also changed his color slightly immediately. This news is no joke.

It was previously suspected that someone in the DPRK was colluding with Mongolia. Now they are colluding with Japanese pirates. If this is true, how many collaborators and traitorous officials must there be in the Ming Dynasty?

"That's right! In fact, I learned about it accidentally! My father asked me to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Japanese pirates, but unexpectedly I found out about it in a prison!"

Yang Jin looked around again. His tone was slightly lowered, as if he was afraid that the news would be leaked.

Zhengyao absolutely believed in Yang Jin's character! Since he said so, it was definitely true.

"What is going on? Why do you say that the important ministers in the DPRK colluded? Did Brother Yang find out who? Brother Yang, please tell me in detail."

Zhengyao frowned slightly, looked at Yang Jin and said suspiciously.

A series of doubts came out of his mouth. It must be said that Zhengyao's ability to think about problems is indeed stronger than ordinary people.

"Well, Prince-in-law, please listen to me! The thing is like this, I saw someone meeting with the Japanese pirate leader Wang Zhi in that prison! And I suspect that this important minister in the court is probably Yan Song, because he met with Wang Zhi

The person I met directly was another of Yan Song’s subordinates, his name seems to be... Wang Zhao."

"Wang Zhao? Why haven't you heard of this person?"

Zhengyao was still very confused. He frowned, looked at Yang Jin and asked.

"Yes, not only the prince-in-law has never heard of it, but I think many people have never heard of it. In fact, I have only met Wang Zhao once. The reason why I am so impressed is because that time I went to the palace to pay tribute on behalf of my father.

I was whispering with the man outside the palace, and later when I entered the hall, I found out that this man was called Wang Zhao, and he was one of Yan Song's confidants. He is now a member of the Royal Forest Army."

What Yang Jin said was true and could not be criticized, which made everyone believe it deeply.

But after hearing this, Zhengyao couldn't help but be suspicious again: "A member of the Royal Forest Army? Why didn't I know?"

Indeed, Zhengyao was also the left commander of the Royal Forest Army after all. He didn't even know that there was such a prominent figure in the Imperial Forest Army, and he didn't know if it was his dereliction of duty.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhengyao. After all, Zhengyao has only reported for duty once. He has been in office for so long and has not seen him make any difference in the imperial army. To put it bluntly, it is actually just a false title and is dispensable.

That’s all.

"I heard that this person is nominally a member of the Royal Forest Army, but it seems that like the Prince Consort, he only reported for duty once and then rarely showed up."

Yang Jin said helplessly, making this matter seem a bit funny.

He only reported for duty once and then disappeared without a trace. Is it necessary for such a person to exist in the Royal Guards?

But when it came to this, Yang Jin still showed a hint of embarrassment. After all, Zhengyao was also like this. Could it be that even the consort would have to say that?

"That's it! But he only reported for duty once, won't the superiors blame him?"

Yuan Haiyun was puzzled and immediately touched the back of his head and asked.

Zheng Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "Haiyun, what's wrong with you? Since this person is Yan Song's, the superiors will not pursue him whether he is present or not. Don't forget, Wen Ao, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, is Yan Song."

disciple!"

The so-called officials protecting each other were all Yan Song's people, so he would naturally protect them.

But Zhengyao was different. Everything he did was done in accordance with the imperial edict. In other words, even if Zhengyao had a name and a white salary, he would not attract any criticism.

"So, this Yan Song really colluded with the Japanese pirates! Huh! Now he secretly contacted Mongolia, and now he secretly colluded with the Japanese pirates. It seems that this Yan Song really wants to rebel!"

As he spoke, Liu Yan couldn't help but glance at Yan Hao, and clenched his fists into fists, wishing he could arrest the Yan clan immediately.

"In that case, why didn't Brother Yang tell the emperor directly about the matter instead of telling it to Zhengyao?"

Yuan Haiyun is a problem person. No matter what he says, he seems to have endless questions, but maybe this is his true nature, and it also shows his cute side in disguise.

Yang Jin shook his head and said: "I only know a little bit about this matter, and I have not investigated it in depth. I dare not alert the emperor rashly. After all, if the emperor knows about it, it is likely to cause shock, and maybe it will alarm the snake, which will be self-defeating.

"

Yang Jin is also a man with brains and ideas.

He would definitely not be stupid enough to make a big deal in front of the emperor just based on his one-sided words. You know, if it is not found to be true, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. Don't say that his life is in danger when the time comes.

Even his father's life is not guaranteed.

"The reason why I told the prince-in-law about this matter is that the prince-in-law is very resourceful. He has solved so many major and important cases in the past, so I believe that if the prince-in-law takes action on this matter, he will definitely succeed!

But there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. We will wait until the prince-in-law comes back from Mongolia. As for the Japanese pirates, my father has joined forces with Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Liu Xian and other adults to be ready to deal with the rampant Japanese pirates at any time."

As the saying goes, plan before acting. It seems that Yang Jin and his son had already made their own plan early on. They just wanted to catch the thief and take the stolen goods and catch him in bed, so they decided to let Zheng Yao go there in person.

"Okay! Then when we come back from Mongolia, we will immediately ask our father to go to Fujian to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

The whole story was finally understood. Zhengyao immediately became alert and immediately raised his hands and said.

"Well, it's getting late. Prince Consort, you guys can hit the road. Yang would like to wish you a safe journey and take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Zhengyao and the four of them turned around and walked towards the door.

For this reason, Yang Jin waved his arms and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that they were about to leave the city, Zhengyao, Zhang Cheng, and even Yuan Haiyun all had a faint sense of disappointment on their faces, as if they always felt that something had not been explained. It was as if nothing had been done.

"Brother Zhang——"

"Brother Li——"

Just when Zhengyao and others were thinking about it, they heard another shout from behind.

Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw another group of people running from the street. When he took a closer look, he saw that they were several women.

"Bingmei, Qingyue? Why are you together?"

Zhengyao was stunned for a moment, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and finally he showed a hint of surprise.

It's not strange for Zhou Bing to see him off; it's not strange for Hua Qingyue to see her off, but it's strange for them to come together.

"It's nothing, we met on the road, and I realized that the original Mr. Zhou was a girl, haha. By the way, Brother Li, why don't you see the princess coming to see you off?"

Hua Qingyue has not seen Zhengyao for a long time, but it is really rare for her to be so relaxed when seeing Zhengyao now.

"Forehead……"

It's fine if I don't say it, but when I say Zhengyao, he suddenly becomes even more confused.

At this moment, Zhengyao finally thought of why he felt uneasy when he was about to walk out of the city gate and leave the capital. It turned out that until now, Zhengyao had not seen Ning'an appear.

When I was at Qianqing Palace the day before yesterday, when I said goodbye to Ning An, Ning An was so reluctant to leave. There is no reason why he should not come to see her off today!

However, Ning An didn't come, and naturally Xiao Xi didn't come either, which is why Yuan Haiyun also looked in a daze.

"Brother Li, you don't have to be like this. The princess will definitely come. I think she must be delayed for a while because of something!"

Although he and Ning An have not been together for a long time, it is still easy for women to understand women's hearts. Zhou Bing can naturally see how much Ning An cares about Zheng Yao and how much he loves Zheng Yao.

Therefore, she also believed that Ning An would not fail to come.

"Brother Zhang, you have just come back and are leaving again. I don't know when I will be able to resonate with Brother Zhang's piano and flute again."

At this time, he saw a young woman in white standing in front of Zhang Cheng. She was tall, exquisite and translucent, with long flowing hair, which was really fascinating.

This woman is naturally Xu Jie's precious daughter Xu Yuzhi. Ever since they met at the Xu Mansion's family banquet, Zhang Cheng and Xu Yuzhi have been in contact with each other, and it seems that they are about to get married.

"Don't worry. This trip to Mongolia is just for exchange. I believe you will be back soon. You must wait for me!"

It seems that he has never heard Zhang Cheng say such words. At this moment, even Zhengyao felt a slight tingling on his back and goosebumps all over the floor.

I believe that on the way to Mongolia, Yuan Haiyun will definitely use this matter to make fun of Zhang Cheng.

"Well! I will wait for you! Be careful along the way and take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

A thousand words are not worth a simple and practical promise. Hearing this, Zhengyao also felt a little chilled.

It seems that I and Ning An have been in this situation before, and we have vowed to be ours forever.
