Riding the Pheonix Chapter 666: Guo Gong
From Yidu to Nan'an, if the wind is favorable, it will take ten days and a half.
As soon as May entered, the Tang family returned to Kyoto.
No need to mention the tiring journey.
Mingwei only glanced at the market in the sedan chair before entering the Duke Dai's mansion.
Afterwards, he was thrown into a small hall. After waiting for a long time, he saw Tang Shao coming over with a tired look on his face.
"Miss Mingqi, come with me."
Seeing something was wrong, Xue Ying asked quickly: "Second Master, do you want me to go with you?"
Tang Shao shook his head: "You guys are waiting here for the news."
The snow parrot wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Haiyan.
After Mingwei and Tang Shao left, Haiyan said: "Don't forget, we are following Miss Mingqi not only to serve her, but also to monitor her. Are you serious about treating her as your master?"
Xue Ying was discouraged: "I know, it's just that people are not grass and trees. After spending these days together, there will always be feelings. Besides, Miss Mingqi is not a bad person..."
Haiyan was silent. Not only is it not bad, following her these days, I have learned a lot. I haven't improved my martial arts for a long time, and my state of mind has become loose. Maybe I can get to the next level.
People in the martial arts world pay attention to inheritance. Without the status of master and disciple, they will not teach the skills. Everyone was grateful to receive a few words of advice from others, not to mention that Miss Mingqi corrected her mistakes one by one.
It’s just that it’s hard for Haiyan to say these words.
She is a maid of the Tang family, so there is no reason to speak for others.
However, this does not prevent her from praying for Mingwei in her heart, hoping that she and the Tang family will be in peace.
Mingwei followed Tang Shao for a while and entered a small hall.
After a while, someone came.
This man is in his forties or fifties, tall and has a resolute face.
Wearing ordinary clothes, he exudes a tough aura.
Mingwei stood up and watched Tang Shao come forward and salute him, calling him father. He knew in his heart that this was the acting Duke Tang Jing.
As soon as Tang Jing sat down, his sharp eyes glanced at Mingwei.
After a while, he said: "Miss Mingqi?"
Mingwei replied: "Yes."
"I heard that you were kidnapped by Xiuyi?"
Mingwei nodded.
"But Erlang also said that you are proficient in mystical arts and can be called a master. In this case, how could Xiuyi be kidnapped to the Chu Kingdom?"
Mingwei replied: "Tigers also take a nap. To be honest, I had only fought with others at that time and was seriously injured, so Miss Xiuyi took advantage of me."
Tang Jing nodded and said: "Xiuyi handled this matter improperly. She should have killed you directly while you were injured."
Ming Wei echoed: "Who says it's not the case? Miss Xiuyi is still too kind-hearted after all."
Tang Shao glanced at her but said nothing.
What kind of people are you talking about? Xiuyi clearly wanted to tease her at that time, so she spared her life.
Tang Jing continued to ask: "Now that you have recovered from your injuries and you were fully capable of leaving when you were on the ship, why did you follow you all the way to Nan'an?"
Mingwei turned his attention to Tang Shao: "I think the second young master has made it clear."
Tang Jing stared at her with piercing eyes: "I want to hear you say it yourself."
Ming nodded with a smile and said very frankly: "Miss Ling is my enemy, and the second young master is her target, so I will stay with the second young master and wait for her to come to her."
Tang Jing narrowed his eyes: "But Miss Ling is not an enemy of the Tang family. According to what she said, she wants to help Erlang succeed. Why should we keep you here to be her enemy?"
"Because what she wants to do may not be in the interests of the Tang family."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Ming looked at him with a smile: "The Duke should know what he wants, otherwise why would he want to see my little girl?" After saying this, she patiently explained, "What Miss Ling wants is someone who can help her achieve her goals. People. The star palace she is in is the main body, and the people she chooses must be attached to them. Therefore, she designed to frame the second young master, hoping that the second young master would break with the Tang family and no longer be controlled by the Tang family. This is different from the Tang family. The interests of the family are completely contrary to each other. For a large family, the family interests come first, not the individual. Therefore, I have the confidence to follow you to Nan'an."
Tang Jing said calmly: "Even so, you are still a dangerous person. How do you think I would keep you here?"
Mingwei said: "Because currently our interests are aligned."
"Oh?"
Ming smiled and said: "I am from Qi. Because of this, I will not have any bias when it comes to your Chu country. Whether your Tang family is loyal to you or not, it has nothing to do with me. As long as we have something in common, Purpose, the Duke of the country does not need to worry about me turning to others."
Everyone knows who this other person is referring to.
"What's more, the King of Yue whom I serve can't even touch the edge of the throne. Isn't it too early to talk about the confrontation between the two countries now? If I take action against the Tang family because of this, wouldn't I be adding to his political achievements?"
She looked at Tang Shao: "In fact, the second prince's plan to sow discord helped us a lot. If not, it would not be so easy to bring down the second prince. We had discussed at that time, right? I will help you along the way. In the end, because we were too weak and needed the emperor to be in power, we took action to stop it. It can be seen that although we are enemy countries, we may not be unable to share the same interests."
To put it bluntly, the interests of the country and individuals are not completely consistent.
In order to win internal struggles, many countries in history made peace with enemy countries and even ceded territory.
If he didn't know this in his heart, why would Tang Jing come specifically to see her?
After listening to what she said, Tang Jing was silent for a long time, and after finishing a cup of tea, he asked: "Can Miss Ming Qi represent the King of Yue?"
Mingwei nodded confidently: "Second Young Master should have gone to Northern Qi to find out the news, right? Is the King of Yue looking for me?"
Tang Shao nodded slowly: "The news of Miss Ming Qi's disappearance ~IndoMTL.com~ has not been leaked. However, it is rumored that the Yue Prince's Palace has lost a maid, and His Highness the Yue Prince is going crazy. He has repeatedly reported that he wants to leave the capital in person. Search."
Ming Wei said: "I am here. Second Young Master can give it a try to see if they take me seriously."
Tang Shao did not answer, only raised his eyes and touched his father.
Tang Jing nodded: "Miss Mingqi has had a hard journey, let's go and rest first."
Mingwei stood up and saluted, saying without any nonsense: "My little girl, please leave."
After she left, Tang Jing asked his second son: "You know the affairs of Northern Qi better, what do you think?"
Tang Shao considered it and said: "What she said is not unreasonable. The two countries of Qi and Chu are currently in balance in terms of national power, but they are in peace. My previous plan was a long-term plan. Putting this aside, we and the King of Yue of Northern Qi, There is no real conflict."
Tang Jing nodded.
Tang Shao said again: "It's just that the King of Yue is not an incompetent person. If he really takes the throne, it will not be a good thing for the Chu State."
Tang Jing didn't take it seriously: "The Emperor of Northern Qi is still alive, so the name of the King of Yue is not justified. He wants the throne, and it's early! We don't care about what happens next."
Tang Shao understood.
If it can be used now, then use it first and worry about it later if it collapses.
Before he retreated, Tang Jing stopped him again: "Erlang."
Tang Shao stopped and said, "Father."
Tang Jing looked at him, his eyes seeming to indicate something: "Although Miss Ling has different interests from the Tang family, she wants to support you. You won't be tempted, right?"
Tang Shao met his gaze and replied calmly: "They interfered too much. I want to make some achievements, but they are not interested in being a puppet."
