Sun Qi said nothing. He felt that things were not that simple.

Although King Jing may be one of them, he will not be the most absolute one.

In other words, there is more than one person behind the scenes. Even these people with wolf fang tattoos may not necessarily be from Beiyan. They may also be spies planted by Nantai in Beiyan.

Before the overall situation is determined, everything is possible.

“We can’t delay like this any longer. Things in Nantai must be resolved quickly, and His Highness needs us more.”

He suddenly spoke with a very serious look in his eyes. firm.

Qin Jian did not agree very much: "The matter of Prince Nantai has pushed His Highness to the forefront, and the emperor's fear of His Highness has reached the extreme. Even if he really knew that it was you who took the head of Prince Nantai, We may not be rewarded based on our merits. If we go back now, we may fall short of our achievements!”

Qin Jian thinks that he is not a saint. He has been lying in wait for so many years just to stand out one day. Now the Dog Emperor is in power. , and regarded King Chen as a thorn in their side. Not only would they not get any benefits when they returned, they might even be assassinated by the Dog Emperor.

Sun Qi fantasizes about being able to return home one day in fine clothes, but now his family’s whereabouts are unknown and the country is surrounded by crises, which is far more chaotic than in Nantai. He wants to go back first and look for his family while checking Wolf Fang. The person behind the mark.

Now that the enemy is in the dark, many decisions are no longer up to them.

He patted Qin Jian on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, His Highness will not treat you or me badly."

Sun Qi smiled and went back to his room to clean up. This place is covered in dust, and he needs to carefully plan the next thing.

In the bathtub, the hot water soaked up to his neck. He closed his eyes and rested. Many pictures flashed through his mind quickly. Sometimes it was about the deployment in Nantai over the years, and sometimes it was earlier. Picture of years at home.

Having seen the tragic scene in Changzhou, his heart was tugged hard. If he had done so much and lurked for so many years, but couldn't even protect his family, then what's the point? What’s the meaning?

Taking a long breath, he opened his eyes and must go back quickly.

As soon as I put on my clothes, the voice of my subordinates came from outside: "Sir, the Prime Minister's Office has sent an invitation."

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and his subordinates sent in an invitation. He opened it and saw that it was an invitation to a banquet, the prime minister's daughter's sixteenth birthday party.

He smiled. If he really wanted to take a nap, someone would give him a pillow. Wouldn’t the opportunity come now?

"Go and tell the visitor that I willArrive. ”

　“Yes. ”

Sun Qi went to see Qin Jian again with the invitation, and the two conspired in the study all afternoon.

Although Qin Jian felt that his plan was a bit too thrilling, If you are not careful, you may expose yourself, and all these years of hard work will be in vain in an instant, but in the end you are still willing to believe in Sun Qi's ability and let him give it a try.

Sun Qi and Qin Jian are in Nantai's superficial identity was to run a large gambling house, but he was actually involved in a lot of business. Some officials were secretly jealous and tried to deal with them but failed to get any benefits. So everyone thought that they were people from the royal family behind them. Therefore, there were many The officials wanted to win over them secretly.

It was precisely because of this that the daughter of the Prime Minister of Nantai wanted to invite him for his birthday, presumably because he wanted to take the opportunity to win over them.

Seven days later, Sun Qi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion as promised, and the gift he brought was a priceless luminous pearl. People nearby saw what was written on the gift list, and they all secretly speculated whether Sun Qi wanted to become the Prime Minister's son-in-law.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is already powerful. If Sun Qi's power is added to it, then the Prime Minister's nephew, the current Sixth Prince, will definitely be able to take the position of Crown Prince.

But those six The prince is still young, only eleven years old, so I don’t know whether he can take on this important task.

Sun Qi ignored these speculations and entered the Prime Minister’s Mansion alone, and was led by his servants to the main hall.

For the Prime Minister’s daughter’s birthday, most of the people invited were young gentlemen and young ladies, all of whom had official positions in their families. He was the only one like Sun Qi who had no official status and whose background could not be found.

Even so, no one present dared to use his identity to ridicule him, and even came forward to chat with him with a flattering look.

Sun Qi had attended such banquets countless times. It’s nothing more than using the banquet as an excuse to win over some influence.

There are all men here, and the women are drinking tea and admiring flowers in the pavilion across the lake. Men and women are not seated at the same table.

In the pavilion, many official ladies were quietly looking around. When they saw the young men, they couldn't help but blush.

"You said among those men? , who is the prettiest? "

"Of course it is Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao is the first of the four most beautiful men in the capital! "

"Having said that, Mr. Zhao has been bedridden all year round. He has a sick appearance, no matter how good-looking he is, he is now tortured by illness and is no longer glamorous. "

" Let me tell you, the third master of Shunyu Casino is good-looking, handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. The most important thing is, I heard that he has a lot of power behind him! ”

“Yes, I heard about it too, who is this?If you marry the third master, you will be truly blessed in your previous life! ”

…

The official ladies commented quietly, and even the eyes of He Zihan, the daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, were fixedly staring in the direction of Sun Qi. Look.

Last night, her father told her that if she could please the third master and arrange the marriage, their He family would have an extra layer of power, and her aunt's status in the palace would also rise. And she will become the most envied person by the female relatives in the entire country.

More importantly, she already likes the third master.

After thinking about it, she spoke casually After perfunctory, the women left, and whispered a few words to the maid, who was asked to leave.

Sun Qi was sitting in his seat drinking tea, listening to the opera with peace of mind, he was waiting, The show started soon.

At this moment, a little maid came forward and said respectfully: "Third Master, my young lady wants to see you. "

Sun Qi raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on a boy not far away. The boy nodded slightly.

"Miss He, is there something wrong? "

"I would also like to ask the Third Master to go with this slave. "

The little maid lowered her head, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

Sun Qi curled his lips. This prime minister's family is really his lucky star.

So he stood up happily and followed the little maid away.

But it seemed a pity not to miss the warm show.

He Zihan was already there She was waiting for him in another pavilion. When she saw him coming from a distance, she couldn't help but sweat on her palms.

"Third Master..."

She was slightly embarrassed After speaking shyly, Sun Qi bowed like a gentleman and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Miss He? "

"I...I..."

He Zihan is a direct daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was trained according to the standards for being sent to the palace. Yes, I was taught some ideas about women’s three obediences and four virtues. It was the first time for me to meet a foreign man in private, so I was inevitably a little nervous and shy.

She blushed so much that she really didn’t know how to speak.
