Chapter 289 Confrontation
Now that the Iron Clan was mentioned, Xie Fengyue would naturally not let You Heng be here. She was just about to find an excuse to trick him away.
You Heng spoke appropriately: "I have seen records of the Iron Iron Clan in ancient books. According to legend, that clan is full of unborn talents. They are all proficient in literature, Taoism and military strategy. The most important thing is"< br>
He stopped mid-sentence and deliberately let Xie Fengyue ask.
"The most important thing is that their tribe must have been born to assist in becoming emperor." Xie Fengyue looked at her coldly and continued, "My husband knows quite a lot."
You Heng's heart was full of mixed feelings. He really didn't understand when this girl knew these things, but he still had to pretend to be You Heng. A trace of disappointment appeared on his face: " I have been weak since I was a child and cannot withstand the weather. The only thing I can do is to ask my father to help me find more ancient books. This is what I saw in those ancient books."
Xie Fengyue knocked on the table: "Since you know this, do you know anything else?"
You Heng thought about it in his mind for a long time, and finally decided to play dumb. He couldn't know too much about his current identity. If he hadn't seen her thinking about driving her away, he would definitely not have said much. If he said more, he would be wrong. The truth applies at all times.
The conversation between the two did not affect Lu Mei, who still looked solemn: "The princess has met a member of the Iron Clan. Do you know who the person of their generation decided to assist?"
"Me."
Xie Fengyue looked indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
"What!" Lu Mei frowned. If he hadn't been a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, he would have spit out all the cold tea he just drank.
"Master Lu has also seen people from the Iron Smelting Clan."
Lu Mei rubbed her sore temples with both hands and said, "Is it that Li Xiaobao with a fierce look on his face? He is indeed steady, and his figure is also different from ordinary people."
"It's not him, Xiao Xuan is the descendant of this generation of the Iron Clan."
Xie Fengyue's words almost made Lu Mei lose control of her expression.
"That child is no more than ten years old. How could a ten-year-old child be born? It's nonsense."
Xie Fengyue said disapprovingly: "Historical books once recorded that there was an eight-year-old child prodigy in the Yue Kingdom named Zicong. He was born with extraordinary intelligence and talent. He was very smart since he was a child, read a lot of books, and had a photographic memory. At the age of eight, he was already able to The poems and compositions are breathtaking with sharp words and rigorous logic.
At that time, the country of Yue was in trouble, and King Wen of Yue was filial and thirsty for talents. Hearing Zicong's name, he sent an envoy to summon him to the court. Zicong responded to the call, and King Yue Wen personally tested his talents. Seeing that he responded fluently and spoke witty words, he was very happy, so he worshiped him as prime minister and ordered him to assist in the government.
Although Zicong was young, he had the world in mind and was both wise and brave. At the beginning of taking office, he immediately rectified the political agenda, eliminated bad policies, promoted benefits and eliminated harms, and won the hearts of the people. His policy of governing the country was people-oriented, focused on economic development, and strengthened culture and education, making the country of Yue increasingly strong and prosperous.
Seeing Zicong's outstanding political achievements, King Yuewen paid more and more attention to him and often summoned him to the palace to discuss matters. Zicong also lived up to expectations. Every suggestion he made was able to hit the shortcomings of the times, and was highly praised by the emperor. Since then, Zicong has become famous all over the world and has become a famous prime minister.
Later generations took Zicong as an example and praised him for his young talent, wisdom and courage. The story of Zicong has also been passed down through the ages and has become a favorite. ”
After Xie Fengyue finished speaking, Lu Mei shook her head: "Historical books also record that Zicong of the State of Yue only served as Prime Minister for ten years before he was defeated and paid tribute to the former Emperor of Zhou. It is obvious that the childish man was very smart, but he was not able to bear the burden. Talent worthy of a big job.”
These words were too full of meaning to find fault. Xie Fengyue cited this example just to prove that being young does not mean that he has no virtue and talent. However, he insisted on saying that it was because a child was the prime minister that the Yue Kingdom was destroyed.
When Zicong was the prime minister, it was because the former Emperor of Zhou came to the city with troops. Zicong defended the country at the age of eight, and he defended the country for more than ten years before he surrendered to the Qian'an Dynasty. What a talent he was.
Lu Mei's strong words almost made Xie Fengyue angry. There was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder between the two, and You Heng could clearly see it from the side.
He did know some inside information, but he couldn't tell it again. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Could it be that there was some crisis in the Iron Smelting clan, which caused the successor to be born at such a young age?" < br>
Xie Fengyue's mind recalled the desolate look on Old Man Xiao's face but he hesitated to speak. She nodded gently: "It is very possible that Xiao Xuan's grandfather may no longer be alive."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Mei's face suddenly turned pale. He covered his mouth fiercely, but he still couldn't stop the coughing. The violent coughing made him unable to sit on the stool, and he slid down from it. Out of the kneeling position.
Xie Fengyue really didn't dare to help him for a while.
After a while, Lu Mei managed to stop coughing. There were tears on both sides of his cheeks. He smiled reluctantly: "Something just flew into my throat. I'm sorry."
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Lu today. Mr. Lu has a good rest. I'll come back to discuss matters with you tomorrow."
After Xie Fengyue said goodbye, she took You Heng and left.
After he finished coughing, he looked as if he was mourning for his heir. If Xie Fengyue didn't wink at all and still bothered him here, it would be an outrage for both humans and gods.
"I will arrange a boat for the princess in ten days, don't worry, princess." Lu Mei frowned tightly, covered his chest with one hand, and supported the chair with the other and whispered.
He agreed suddenly. He was arguing one second, but he agreed the next second, and even set a date. It was still a little unreal after Xie Fengyue returned to the room. She pinched her fingers and felt pain. , she felt real.
She really didn't know what Gongzi Yan had told Lu Mei, so that the difference in his attitudes was so obvious.
When she remembered who Lu Mei was, she was already convinced that this person was from Gongzi Yan.
Not only did Gongzi Yan visit him when he was in Chen County, but when he first arrived in Shengjing, he helped him take away his father. Didn't he also use the name of Mr. Meishan?
After all this time, does the relationship between Lu Mei and Gongzi Yan still need to be clarified?
When she thought of Gongzi Yan, Xie Fengyue felt irritable for no reason.
This person always arranged everything for her silently behind her back. She really owed too much and couldn't pay it back.
Xie Fengyue punched the edge of the bed several times in frustration, and the muffled sound alerted You Heng, who had been listening with ears perked next door.
After making a silent gesture towards the chattering Songshan, he quietly walked to the bed and put his ear close to the wall.
You Heng listened for a while, but didn't notice any more noise from next door, so he gave up.
He turned to look at Songshan: "What did you just say?"
Songshan choked a breath in his chest, and his face turned blue with anger: "It's nothing!"
He didn't tell Lang Jun that Lian Xiao Langjun was leaving for Yongning!
snort!
