Chapter 132: The truth

In order to welcome Jiang Lang, Yu Qian and Fan Zhong also found a good restaurant in the capital. However, Jiang Lang is full of thoughts now. Even if the delicacies of the mountains and seas taste, they have no appetite. In their hearts, they are directly thinking about how to tell the Third Prince and Jiang Chengzhi. But the imperial decree will soon come down, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it from them.

Fan Zhong, who was on the other hand, was very desirable to Jianglang. He kept picking up food and toasting at the dinner table. However, Yu Qian looked at Jianglang with a deep meaning.

"General Wang seems to have something to worry about?"

Yu Qian personally poured Jiang Lang a glass of wine, and then asked with a smile. Yu Qian was not tall, and compared with Fan Zhong's iron tower figure, he naturally saw Jiang Lang's heart's appearance.

Fan Zhong next to him suddenly said, "Yes, I said, brother, today you are not as energetic as yesterday. Why do you feel that you are not energetic? You are not as good as the title of the Golden List, and you are in the bridal chamber. You are now promoted and then you will get married soon. What else are you not satisfied with? I have seen Miss Ziyu, who is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, a beautiful lady. And this is a wedding given by the emperor, so what else are you not satisfied with?"

Jiang Lang respects Yu Qian. After all, he is also considered a virtuous minister of the previous generation. He admires Fan Zhong and Jiang Lang. After destroying Wang Zhen, Fan Zhong died in a fierce battle. In addition to having a battle with Fan Zhong yesterday, Yu Qian is also considered a chance meeting today. However, one of the concerns in the words of the two was beyond words, and he was moved at the moment, and he said, "I am not dissatisfied with you. I am indeed a little distressed. Now I am in a dilemma."

After saying that, he picked up the quilt and drank it all. A hot feeling suddenly came from his throat. With this feeling, Jiang Lang felt more relieved.

Fan Zhong was a rough man, but he didn't understand Jiang Lang's thoughts, so he said strangely: "A dilemma? How do you say this? Why do I feel a little confused when I hear it."

"Princess."

Yu Qian suddenly said softly, "Is it because of the princess?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be surprised and looked up at Yu Qian. There were very few people who knew about him and the princess, and he had never known Yu Qian before, so how could he know about him and the princess?

Feeling Jiang Lang's gaze, Yu Qian smiled slightly, slowly picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish, put it in his mouth, and slowly tasted it, saying: "Although this West Lake vinegar fish is not as authentic as that made in Hangzhou, it is also quite good in the capital. Brother Wang might as well try it."

Seeing that Yu Qianbai knew it but was now keeping him in a silence, Jiang Lang had no choice but to listen to him, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly. The fish was indeed well made, crispy on the outside and cold on the inside, and the sour taste of vinegar and sugar are also suitable. This sour taste did not steal the sweetness, nor did the sweetness cover up the sour taste.

“It tastes good.”

Yu Qian put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Not bad."

It seems that Yu Qian wants to explain something with this? Jiang Lang couldn't help but have this idea in his heart, but he never understood what Yu Qian meant.

Fan Zhong, who was standing by, saw the two of them having a puzzle and completely treated him as an outsider, said unhappy: "I said Lao Yu, what do you mean by me? What does this Wang brother's wedding have to do with the princess?"

“Isn’t it okay?”

Yu Qian looked at Jiang Lang and said, "It's very relevant."

Jiang Lang didn't deny it at the moment, and said in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Ge Qing."

Yu Qian said softly, "I think you should be very familiar with him. He and I are friends of life and death, but the road is different. He chose to be a guard at the Prince's Mansion, and I am choosing to serve in the court. But speaking of this, you are really similar to him when you were young."

The three of them chose a private room, and they would not be heard even if they whispered, so Yu Qian did not hide it.

Jiang Langqi said: "Brother Ge?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "Ge Qing was also a general when he was young. He had quite some means in terms of intelligence and strategy. At that time, I was his deputy general. If he was willing to stay in the court, he should have no problem with the third rank. However, after that incident, he was disheartened and left the army, and instead went to the Third Prince's Mansion to be a guard."

Fan Zhong seemed to know something, and did not yell, but said, "Old Yu, it seems a bit inappropriate to say it."

Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "It might be better, Brother Wang and Ge Qing have a deep relationship. In the letters that Ge Qing has sent me, Brother Wang mentioned, and there are many praises. However, luck makes people so we can meet now, and it is a pity that we meet too late. Ge Qing's incident caused me to lose a powerful general in the Ming Dynasty, so I don't want to lose another powerful general in this matter. I have seen the competition between you and General Fan yesterday. Advance and retreat are orderly, brave and resourceful. This is what I think of you."

Jiang Lang hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Xie Yu's praise. What is the reason why Brother Ge retired?"

Jiang Lang is also a little curious now.

Yu Qian sighed and said, "It's not a word for love."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then said quietly: "Actually, Ge Qing and the third prince, I met very early, and we had a good relationship. That time we were ordered to go to war, but due to insufficient estimates, we were ambushed and finally wiped out the entire army. Only he and I escaped under the protection of our personal soldiers, but were also seriously injured. Due to various reasons, we returned to the capital a whole year later. At this time, we also learned that the court had long believed that we were killed in that battle."

Yu Qian paused and then said, "Before Ge Qing went to the battle, there was a confidante named Lan Die. At the normal speed, we could go back and forth in a month, so Ge ​​Qing also decided to marry Lan Die after he came back. On the night he left, the two of them got married. However, after more than a month, what they had come was news that Ge Qing and I died on the battlefield. At that time, Lan Die had already discovered that his confidante was pregnant, and the child on this belly was no one else, but Zhu Yuqi."

"What?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be shocked. The cup in his hand slid quietly, hitting the table with a thump, and the wine splashed all over his body. However, he didn't care about this. He cared about the fact that Yu Qian had just said. After coming back to his senses, Jiang Lang asked again: "Are you saying true?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "It's true. You know, it's not true that this woman will be despised when she is pregnant before marriage. It is not tolerated by the world. However, Lan Die does not want to give up her belly. In this case, the third prince married Lan Die as his wife in order to protect Lan Die and also to protect Ge Qing's flesh. Nine months later, Lan Die gave birth to a daughter, but because of the difficult childbirth and Lan Die's mind, she passed away after giving birth. A few months later, we came back to learn about this news. Ge Qing was naturally heartbroken, but for the sake of the princess, she hid this matter from her. In order to protect her, Ge Qing also left the army and went to the prince's mansion to be a guard."

Jiang Lang couldn't help but remained silent, feeling his mind was in a mess. After a long time, he asked, "Why did you tell me?"

Indeed, this can be regarded as a secret, a secret that cannot be revealed, but Jiang Lang is still somewhere outsider now, so it would be strange if he told such a secret.

"Because Ge Qing thinks you are someone worthy of the princess's entrustment."

Yu Qian replied lightly, "This is also explained in his letter, and he feels that the third prince has some of this, so I tell you this, but I don't want you to let the princess down."

Jiang Lang's face suddenly dimmed and he said, "What should I do? The emperor's marriage is a matter of being a must-have, and there is no room for me to refute. Moreover, the princess is also in the mourning period."

"You have no choice."

Yu Qian smiled and lit up Jiang Lang with chopsticks, saying, "Wang Zhen has seen this a long time ago, and plans to use this to differentiate your relationship with the third prince. Your original identity as the 100 households of the Jinyiwei was jointly guaranteed by the Third Prince and Jiang Chengzhijiang. Many people in the court know that these three princes attach great importance to you. If you marry a fireworks woman as your wife, even if the princess's mourning period expires, she will not marry you as a concubine. Wang Zhen does this simply intends to force you to a dead end from the Third Prince and then win you over, so that he will have a good assistant."

"But if you don't marry..."

Yu Qian changed his tone and said, "If you deceive the emperor and disobey the imperial edict, you will be beheaded."

Jiang Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is what I am worried about now."

Fan Zhong, who had not spoken, woke up at this time: "Grandma, this eunuch Wang Zhen has so much thoughts. He didn't expect that getting married is so troublesome. Not to mention you, I don't know what to do if I have something to do. It's not good to get married, and it's not good not to get married. Alas..."

"You can't even think about it."

Yu Qian couldn't help but tease, "Your General Fan's house is something that ordinary women can't get into. Only those tigers in your house will not leave any bones left after anyone enters."

"What's wrong with the tiger?"

Fan Zhong retorted: "I just like tigers."

“All right…!”

Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "Your tiger goes back to cook by yourself. Now we are mainly talking about Brother Wang's affairs."

Then, he picked up the wine pot and gave it to Jiang Lang, and said, "You are troubled now because you can't solve it, or you are an outsider, so to solve this problem, the best person is also in this capital, he is..."
