Yang Qing slowly stood up, and after Chu Jinghui said a few words to him, he and Wei Sizhong were asked to exit Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Yang Qing and Wei Sizhong were walking side by side. After turning a corner, he heard Wei Sizhong next to him say, "Congratulations to Lord Yang, the clouds cleared and the sun came out."
Yang Qing also returned the favor and said, "Thank you Chancellor Wei for your concern. If Chancellor Wei had not been there to speak kindly for me this time, I would have been very sad at this time."
"Hey, Lord Yang, why should you be humble? I can do everything so meticulously for more than ten years. I admire Lord Yang's tenacity!"
A trace of abnormality flashed across Yang Qing's face, but it quickly returned to normal. "Chancellor Wei's words made me really ashamed!"
"Lord Yang This is too modest. I really admire useful talents like Lord Yang. I am very happy to see you today. Why don't we go and have a drink with me as the host?"
"Chancellor Wei invited me, how dare I refuse?"
Wei Sizhong laughed, "Okay, Lord Yang is so refreshing, I am very happy! This time, make sure not to get drunk No Return!"
"Chancellor Wei please!"
Yang Qing stretched out his hand towards Wei Sizhong, with a faint smile on his face.
"Lord Yang, please?"
Capital City, Jadeite Pavilion
Yang Qing has been away from Capital City for several years, so this time Wei Sizhong chose the place.
Yang Qing stood outside the Jadeite Pavilion, looked up at the signboard, and said to Wei Sizhong, "Chancellor Wei is so elegant."
But Wei Sizhong waved his hand and said, "I am just a rough guy, but I have heard on weekdays that there are some dishes in this Jadeite Pavilion that are worth tasting. I would also like to thank Lord Yang for giving me this opportunity to come and have a feast."
"Chancellor Wei is such a sweetheart! Then I will not be polite!"
Yang Qing ordered two very light dishes, and Wei Sizhong joked, "I heard that Lord Yang likes meat. Are you doing this today to save my money?"
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Since Chancellor Wei is the host, how can Xiaguan be so polite? However, Xianguan has not been here for a long time. Capital City's stomach is already a little squeamish, so he doesn't dare to eat and drink."
Wei Sizhong laughed, "Lord Yang is really good at joking."
However, when Wei Sizhong's eyes fell on another dish on the table, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
Yang Qing certainly saw this change, but there was no expression on his face. Instead, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of food.
After putting the dishes back into the bowl, Yang Qing looked up and said in surprise, "Chancellor Wei, are you worried?"
Wei Sizhong sighed at Yang Qing, "It made Lord Yang laugh. I just looked at this dish and thought of my nephew, Wei Li."
Yang Qing glanced at Wei Sizhong and saw two traces of sadness in his eyes, and he immediately reacted.
"I hope Chancellor Wei won't be surprised if I don't notice for a moment."
Wei Sizhong calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This old man is so easy to pity others. But I heard that when Wei Li was in trouble that day, Lord Yang was also present."
"Can you tell me about the scene that day?"
After hearing this, Yang Qing put down the chopsticks in his hands and said apologetically to Wei Sizhong: "That day, it happened to be a coincidence that when the official returned to County Office, it was raining heavily, so he settled in that Official Post Station."
"I heard that Deputy General Wei is also recuperating here, and will set off back to Yan Pass when the rain stops."
"I wanted to take this opportunity to visit and comfort Yan Pass for fighting the enemy side by side that day. But who could have expected that Criminal would choose to take action on that day. The lower official also narrowly escaped death, and he heard the bad news about Deputy General Wei after that."
At this point, Yang Qing's voice rose a little. "The Northern Liang gangster bullied me Western Chu too much! He actually dared to commit such a crime in broad daylight!"
Wei Sizhong looked at Yang Qing's face filled with indignation, and his face became a little more dignified.
"That's right! Then, what are Lord Yang's plans next?"
Yang Qing bowed his hands to Wei Sizhong: "As Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner, I naturally have to take better care of Yan Prefecture so as to live up to the emperor's favor."
"Lord Yang This ambition really makes me admire you! Come on, I'll give you a toast!"
Wei Sizhong said, then he raised the cup and waved it towards Yang Qing.
"Chancellor Wei It's hard work assisting the emperor in the court, and I would like to toast you as well!"
After drinking for three rounds, Wei Sizhong suddenly mentioned. "Based on your current talent Lord Yang, a mere Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner is indeed a bit unqualified. Why don't I ask you to write to the emperor to recall Lord Yang to Capital City."
"With Lord Yang's talent, he will surely be entrusted with important responsibilities. Lord Yang, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yang Qing stood up from his seat, cupped his hands towards Wei Sizhong and said, "Thank you Chancellor Wei for your kindness. It's just that I am still young in my qualifications for this post. If I have to go to the emperor to ask for favors if I do something a little bit, I'm afraid it will be suspected of asking for rewards."
"The Emperor is very thirsty for talents. Moreover, with my recommendation, it will not be difficult to do this."
Wei Sizhong said this and glanced at Yang Qing: "The key to this matter still depends on Lord Yang. What do you think?"
"In my opinion, it is the wisest choice for people to go to higher places and for water to go to lower places."
"Thank you Chancellor Wei for your support, but I think that my talents are limited and I am not qualified for a big position. It would be better to stay with Yan Prefecture for a longer period of time."
Wei Sizhong listened to Yang Qing's answer, the smile on his face did not diminish, but after a pause, he laughed.
"Look at my impatience. When it comes to recruiting talented people for me Western Chu, I lose some sense of proportion."
"Lord Yang's ambition is very reasonable, but I am reckless. Don't blame me."
Yang Qing also returned the greeting and said, "Chancellor Wei is full of love and care, and I know it well in my heart."
"Only by making Yan Prefecture better can I live up to Chancellor Wei's trust."
"Hahaha, where is it?"
Yang Qing listened to Wei Sizhong's laughter and said again, "Thank you Chancellor Wei for your hospitality today. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he bowed once more and left the private room.
Watching Yang Qing leave, the smile on Wei Sizhong's face gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
"That's unreasonable!"
Wei Sizhong suddenly reached out his hand and slapped the table.
The table made an extremely harsh sound.
"Very good, but I underestimated him!"
Yang Qing returned to his residence in Beijing, and Bu Er appeared in front of him.
This time, before Yang Qing moved into Imperial City, he left Bu Er in his house, which made him worry alone for half a day.
"Master, how is it?"
Bu Er showed a trace of anxiety on his face.
Chu Jinghui's sudden summons was because of Fu Bonian, so naturally it wouldn't be a good thing.
"It's okay, it's been resolved."
Yang Qing said it very easily, but Bu Er still felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Then, he smelled the smell of alcohol coming from Yang Qing: "Why, Master, are you still drinking?"
"Well, Master Chancellor Wei invited me, so I can't refuse."
Yang Qing said this more calmly.
