Guarding the northern Xiang military camp was Meng Ba and his three hundred thousand men from the northern army. On the left and right, Vice General Wang Tuo and He Lan Yi were guarding the northern Xiang military camp. Separated by a Golden Willow River, there were times of conflict, but it was so serious that no war had broken out yet.

The Military Advisor's Wine Sacrifice was a fifth-grade official, and belonged to the Division of Counselors. It didn't have any military power. To the Prime Minister, who was below ten thousand, this was an extremely low position. If the powerful and powerful were to be demoted to such a state, they would soon be deposed forever, and they would not be far from the border of exile.

Some of them were worried about Qin Lingmo's move to the left, while others were happy. The members of the Cai Family couldn't hide their joy and jubilation. They ran over to congratulate the members of the Cai Family, but Cai Liuzhen was too angry about it.

"You guys have long snacks! That counted as a left shift? When had he ever seen a criminal with a royal guard on his left side?! This is definitely a conspiracy! " Cai Liuzhen ignored his image and became furious. Those ministers who had come to celebrate and even brought fine wine all fell silent. Noticing that he had lost his composure, Cai Liuzhen waved his hand to calm his anger.

"Don't be careless, this definitely isn't a simple left shift. There must be a deeper meaning behind it."

"Yes, yes."

Cai Liuzhen sat down on the Eight Immortals' chair after he got rid of the group of assorted assorted assorted ass-kicks. His face was full of fatigue and anxiety as he leaned his hands on the table and lightly wiped the sweat off his forehead with the palms of his hands. A servant brought in some tea. Before the teacup was set down, he heard a loud slap on the armrest of the chair.

Kacha. The chicken wings wooden armrest had actually been forcibly broken.

The servant was shocked, and the tea was immediately spilled all over the ground.

"Down!" Cai Liuzhen glared at him with murderous intent. The servant quickly picked up the broken teacup and scrambled out of the hall. Cai Liuzhen had an ugly expression on his face. He got up and paced back and forth in the lobby. He had also seen Qin Lingmo's strange behavior recently. Being cautious and suspicious, he did not think that it was due to Prime Minister Qin's sudden outburst. However, he still could not figure out the reason.

Could it be that he was intentionally putting on a show just to go to the border? But why? A secret investigation? No, no, that Blood Chicken Crown was absolutely true. There was actually such a capable barbarian hidden in the whole of Baoji City … Who could it be? That shouldn't be …

Cai Liuzhen couldn't figure it out, and the shadow between his brows was getting thicker.

"Master, who made you unhappy so early in the morning? "Rest quickly, don't be so angry." A delicate female voice sounded at the entrance of the lobby.

The dainty Third Madam walked in gracefully. Her snow-green skirt was embroidered with silver threads and her dress was embroidered with vines. Her movements were bright and resplendent, showing her slim waist and exquisite figure.

Cai Liuzhen stopped walking and relaxed his expression. "It's nothing. Why are you here?"

"Old master, try it. This is the Saliva Wine that I obtained from the Happy Restaurant. It will be a great tonic for old master's health …" Mingxiu walked up to the town with the wine jug in her hand.

Cai Liuzhen's brows slightly twitched. He raised his eyes to Mingzi and asked, "You mean the Happy Restaurant?"

"That's right. Old master, you might not be busy with official business, but there's no one in this city who doesn't know of the Wangyou Restaurant. The wine there is the best in the world, and the celestial wine is pretty good as well." "Furthermore, it has other pretty good effects …" Her laughter was ambiguous and enchanting. However, Cai Liuzhen's attention was no longer on it. He suddenly grabbed Mingzi's shoulder and asked urgently, "Are you familiar with the Lady Boss?"

"Miss Little Hu, of course, you're familiar with her!" Mingzi had always flaunted herself as a VIP guest of the Lady Boss of the Wangyou Restaurant.

"That's fine. Since her family's wine is so good and you're also being taken care of, then you can invite this Miss Little Hu over for a chat." Cai Liuzhen revealed an amiable smile. He took the glass from Mingzi's hand.

Third Madam looked meaningfully at the Old Master and smiled. "Sure, sure. I will definitely do it." She thought that Cai Liu had long since fallen in love with fresh goods. It was just that it would be difficult for the Prime Minister to take action because of that. She didn't have any feelings for him, but she wanted to preserve her title as the third wife. She didn't have to worry about eating and drinking at the Cai Mansion. Rather than irritating him, he might as well do it beautifully to make the town have a better impression of him.

After Mingzi left, Cai Liuzhen lightly swirled his wine cup, the corner of his mouth curling up into a gloomy smile. I don't care what tricks you have up your sleeves or what schemes you have. I won't let you succeed! Don't even think of blocking my path!

Why didn't he think about it earlier? Since they were so close, perhaps Hu Ying would be the first to break through!

Wangyou Restaurant

"Miss Little Hu, Miss Little Hu?" She lightly walked into the store. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the oncoming crows. Soon after, an angry magpie with large flowers rushed out.

Mingzi jumped in fright. Just as she was patting her chest in admiration, Hu Ying, who was behind the counter, raised her head and saw her. She greeted with a smile, "Third Madam is here. Please come in. Ignore those two lunatics."

"Aiya, Miss Little Hu is just different." Mingzi smiled and walked over. It was almost noon, and there were already a lot of customers in the restaurant.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Although he had enmity with Cai Liuzhen, he had no enmity with money. Hu Ying had always abided by the principle of equality in the face of money.

"There is indeed such a thing." Mingzi rolled his eyes and laughed brilliantly: "Look, Miss Little Hu's wine is really too good. Even our Master is full of praise. "So …"

Hu Ying put down her pen and looked at the third wife of the Cai family. "Madam, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

"Actually it's nothing much, it's just that our old master wants to invite Miss Little Hu into the mansion for a chat."

Hu Ying frowned slightly. She wasn't stupid. Why would a foodie want to see her for such a reason? If it were anyone else, she would not have thought that Cai Liuzhen was the kind of scoundrel whose lower body was more developed than his upper body.

This was a good opportunity. He might be able to learn something from the dishes on the market. Since he was Mo Mo Mo's enemy, he had to get to the bottom of this.

With that in mind, Hu Ying spread open her smile and replied, "Lord Cai is too polite. I can't afford it. Being able to enter the Cai Mansion is really a blessing for me."

"Why, I knew the girl was sensible. "Then don't delay any longer, let's go now." Mingzi was in a hurry to go back and claim credit, so he urged her.

Seeing that there was nothing particularly urgent, Hu Ying gave a few words to Dou'er before following the Third Madam to the Cai Residence.

As expected of the Cai Residence. They were indeed generous. He walked all the way into the palace. Hu Ying walked while silently cursing in her heart: These treasures are the shameless evidence of corrupt officials. Receiving them from my treasury is the true goal of the people. Some other day, when the moon is dark and the winds are strong, come along, hmm.

Hu Ying had expected to meet Cai Liu Zhen in the main hall, but she never expected to be caught in a pavilion by the rockery in the backyard. If the scenery was not bad, then there was a clear pool of blue water beside it, and blooming red or white lotuses. The fake mountain was so tall and imposing, that it seemed to be climbing up an emerald vine.

On the stone table of the pavilion, there were several delicate dishes. They did not seem dignified enough, but the workmanship and materials used were exquisite and exquisite. Hu Ying smiled. It seemed like this dish was very popular and had a bit of an emotional note to it. However, this small view was nothing compared to the Qing Qiu Mountains. Hu Ying considered it seriously. If the ink before her was the size of a real person and was made out of pure gold, she could negotiate with him.

"Does Miss Little Hu have any complaints about these foods?" Cai Liuzhen, who was sitting opposite, asked with a feigned friendliness.

"No, Sir Xie Cai."

"I heard that Miss Little Hu is a first-rate brewer, but did you want to come to my Cai Mansion?" As he spoke, Cai Liu Zhen personally poured a cup of wine for Hu Ying.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sir Cai. I think it's quite good now." Hu Ying answered calmly.

Cai Liu Zhen didn't really want her to come, so he didn't really care about her answer. Previously, he only wanted to use Hu Ying to increase Qin Lingmo's proof of the crime, so he didn't put this commoner girl in his eyes at all. However, when he saw her today, he realized that Hu Ying was definitely not an ordinary woman. Putting everything else aside, just from her relaxed appearance, it was obvious that she had seen much of the world.

That was true. How could Qin Lingmo fall for a girl from an ordinary clan?

She had already seen this dish several times. Honestly speaking, his face didn't look like he had a fierce face, but perhaps it was because he was prejudiced. Hu Ying always felt that his face did not look a little awkward. "It could also be a natural pervert, with a despicable little person written on the left side of his face and a vulgar little person written on the right side.

"..." Miss Little Hu? "

"Huh?"

"What's so good about my face?"

"Oh, the content is very rich." Hu Ying said as she picked up a piece of rose pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. Other than money, she wouldn't go against her food.

Cai Liuzhen was baffled, but he didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he smiled and asked about something else. "I heard Miss Xiao Hu has a good relationship with Sir Qin."

It was said that the entire White Peony City knew about it. Hu Ying smiled and did not reply. She wanted to hear what Cai Liu Zhen had to say.

"Sigh, this is truly an unexpected calamity for Sir Qin. I also express my deep sympathy." Cai Liuzhen sighed and put down his glass. Hu Ying sneered coldly in her heart, "I'm afraid you're the happiest one in the entire Northern Tang Dynasty." In order to piss him off, Hu Ying intentionally let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse. Anyway, the Emperor believes in ink, and he will be back soon."

Cai Liu's hand tightened and his eyebrows sank. His words had hit the nail on the head. He was unable to guess Qin Ling Mo's purpose in coming here, so he felt uneasy. Furthermore, it was obvious that the Emperor still trusted Qin Lingmo. Otherwise, Zuo Wuji wouldn't have been as simple as he was now. According to the law, even if Qin Lingmo was wrongly accused, he had to submit it to the clan's manor. Only after he had gone through the procedures would he be able to submit it to the Emperor for decision. However, it was obvious that the public crime edict had begun at the same time as the left move, and the middle step had been completely omitted. The emperor had moved people directly to Northern Xiang, and during this time, no court official knew of this. What difference was there between this and sending an envoy?

Hu Ying noticed the change in Cai Liuzhen's facial expression and felt very comfortable. She picked up a piece of cinnamon candy chestnut cake and took a bite. Yes, it was done meticulously enough. However, it was not as thick as the pure natural flavor of his hometown.

On the other side, Hu Ying was still arguing with her native chestnut, but Cai Liuzhen's malicious thoughts turned to malicious thoughts. If he wanted to take something out from the little girl's mouth, he would probably choke. Putting aside whether Qin Lingmo would talk to her, based on her appearance, it was unlikely for him to fool her easily. This was just a little bit too much!

Lock her up and then send a message to Qin Lingmo. If he rushed back, that would be dishonoring the imperial edict. Even if the Emperor trusted him, he wouldn't be able to withstand the hundred officials' impeachment. If she didn't come, then this girl wouldn't be of any use. At that time, he could just deal with her as he liked.
