Chapter 377
"Don't you think A Bai looks a bit like you?" Yan Nan was also just now when Yuan Zheng talked about A Bai, she looked at Yuan Zheng's face while thinking about A Bai's appearance, and then discovered this problem.
No wonder she felt a little familiar when she first saw A Bai. It turned out that she was quite similar to Yuan Zheng's facial features, "especially her eyes and nose, both phoenix eyes, and her nose is tall and straight."
Yan Nan said as she reached out to rub Yuan Zheng’s face.
Yuan Zheng thought, it was true that he had never thought before. After all, Ah Bai had nothing to do with him, and the two had different temperaments.
When Yan Nang mentioned it, he felt more and more that Ah Bai's facial features and body shape were quite close to him.
Then he thought that the Fourth Master Yuan was originally behind the Prince Jingnan Mansion, and Abai was born in Xichuan and was adjacent to Jingnan, so he subconsciously connected the two.
Yuan Zheng was slightly stunned. He looked similar. Is it a coincidence or what does it matter?
"What's wrong?" Yan Nan stared at him, reached out and rubbed his cheek gently, and leaned over to him and smiled, "I won't mention him, you're jealous again, right?"
It would be fine if she didn't say it, but when she was jealous, Yuan Zheng remembered the last time she revealed to her, and was slightly embarrassed. That was the only time he would be jealous of other men in his life.
Seeing Yan Nan's smile as close as a flower, her cherry lips were bright red, she reached out to hold her cheek without saying a word, and leaned over the waistband and took a slight bit on her lips.
"Um." Yan Nan protested, but was kissed instead of teasing, pouting with anger.
Yuan Zheng smiled and was about to withdraw her body when he saw her pouting lips lustering, he leaned over and pecked at her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "No mention of anyone except when you are serious about it."
Yan Nan gave him a blank look, "Isn't this just talking about things seriously? Who is not serious?"
Yuan Zheng simply got up and sat beside her, hugged her in his arms and circled her, and said satisfied: "Your expression is not serious."
Yan Nan was angry, "Why are you not serious?"
"I've seduced me."
"Where do I have..."
Before he finished speaking, his lips were blocked again.
The two of them discussed the matter half and half inappropriately until midnight, and carefully sorted out the arrangements they had to make in a few days, and Yuan Zheng returned to the mansion.
On the second day, Yuan Zheng inspected the garrison and took advantage of the time to go to Prince Zhong’s mansion at noon.
August is approaching, and the hot summer has almost come to an end.
Prince Zhong sat in the water pavilion beside the lotus pond and listened to the music. The lotus leaves in the pond were withered, half rolled and half yellow, drooping on the water surface like a mirror. Even though the scenery in the garden was still green and lush, it added a bit of bleakness.
Yuan Zheng was led in by someone to see the ritual. Seeing that Xiao Qi was still sitting upright beside Prince Zhong, he respectfully saw Xiao Qi.
Prince Zhong smiled and signaled him to sit down.
"Is Liu Wei okay?" Prince Zhong had a few green walnuts in front of him, and smiled and put down one of them half-skinned, looking at Yuan Zheng and said.
Yuan Zheng bowed slightly. He saw that Liu Wei had reported to Prince Zhong in advance, and only said that he would appease Lord Liu's emotions.
Prince Zhong naturally thought he was going to demonstrate as a winner.
"Mr. Liu seems to be a little excited and is not in good spirits." Yuan Zheng smiled and said, "But after the little persuasion, he has calmed down a lot. Since he will collude with the Northern Barbarians, I think he should have thought of this step long ago."
Prince Zhong smiled as if he had no grudge against Liu Wei. "I'll continue to give it to the prison chief to serve him more comfortably."
He said as he changed the topic, "Did you see Yu Yi? He is locked in the same place with Liu Wei."
"See." Yuan Zheng's face did not change, and frowned just right, "But General Yu looks..."
He wanted to speak but stopped.
"What does it look like?" Prince Zhong asked with a smile.
"It seems that the mind seems... something is wrong."
"Yes." Prince Zhong picked up a newly peeled walnut and rubbed the remaining skin on his head. "What a pity, he is also a person who is powerful in the Western Qiang, which hurts his brain."
"It's really a pity." Yuan Zheng sighed lowly and lowered his head, "The boy thinks that General Yu's character must not be a treason."
He said these words in front of Prince Zhong, a bit bold, but Yuan Si himself admired Lin Jiuyuan. He said this, which is in line with his current identity as Yuan Si.
If he did not plead for Yu Yi at all, or did not say anything angry, it would make Prince Zhong suspicious.
Sure enough, Prince Zhong looked at him with a smile, "Do you believe that using him can lead Lin Jiuyuan out?"
Yuan Zheng raised his head excitedly, "If General Lin is really not dead, he will definitely not watch General Yu go to the court!"
This is consistent with what he said to Liu Wei in prison.
"You have gone to Youzhou, you should know better than us." Prince Zhong pursed his lips and looked at Yuan Zheng with a loving heart, "Maybe Lin Jiuyuan escaped?"
"Youzhou was very chaotic at that time." Yuan Zheng said: "I heard that all the people in the Lin family army were dead. I also saw the Northern Barbarians send General Lin's coffin out of the city with their own eyes. However."
He frowned, "Since General Yu is still alive, it is not impossible for General Lin to be still alive."
His words seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, every sentence was thought about before and after.
Prince Zhong asked these questions, it was definitely not just a matter of asking. From the beginning of his previous plan to take him to Hengshui in early August, he obviously did it intentionally, and these words were even more testing his relationship with Yu Yi and Lin Jiuyuan.
If he showed a trace of abnormality, he might arouse Prince Zhong's suspicion.
However, his answers were all true. If there were Prince Zhong or people from the court in the north at that time, Prince Zhong should have known that what he said was true.
Sure enough, Prince Zhong's expression did not move, and he still smiled and said, "If General Lin is still alive, it would be my blessing to Daliang!"
He waved his hand, "I won't say it's far away, let's talk about what you're doing. Now I'm here, but what's the point?"
Yuan Zheng naturally could not persuade Liang Zhan, so he directly persuaded Prince Zhong to take action later, and clasped his fists and said, "I want to ask the prince to order the official family to change the military system and attack the Western Qiang!"
Prince Zhong paused the walnut in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Qi: "You ask outside to invite both masters to come."
Yuan Zheng deeply admired Prince Zhong's methods of doing things. With just his words, he understood that he had extremely important things to say, and what he said was about Prince Zhong, and even more about the court and Daliang. It was not a private word, so he decisively asked Xiao Qi to invite his master.
When the two masters arrived, Yuan Zheng took a sip of tea before he started talking.
"Liu Wei has been destroyed and the Privy Council has been handed over to the prince. It is a great time to change the military system..."
He refused to mention the capture of the palace, but only expressed the reasons he had said to Liang Zhan last night more tactfully. If Prince Zhong really wanted to defend the country for a long time, he would definitely understand that this is not a good time to revive the situation. First, reform and fight the tough problems, and maintain stability is the best strategy.
Yuan Zheng said a cup of tea, and the two masters were busy remembering and nodding, and Xiao Qi was even more wide-eyed and focused on listening.
