On the willow tops of the moon, a group of guards patrolling the Potian Military Academy held torches and followed the patrol route. These guards were all former disciples of Chang Lin. Shen Jinyu passed by them, and they all saluted respectfully and shouted in unison. :

"Lord Lieutenant!"

Shen Jinyu nodded and went straight into the check-in room.

It is sad to say that most of these disciples were involved in the bullying behavior of Duan Mufeng, Tang Shan and others towards Shen Jinyu. At that time, they treated Shen Jinyu with cynicism and contempt. Now, when they see Shen Jinyu gaining power, they actually One by one, they fawned over each other, some flattered others and some admitted their mistakes.

Shen Jinyu was a person who held grudges. He arranged for all those people to go to the most miserable and tiring places in the Potian Army where they could not perform meritorious service. For other useful positions, he asked Song Yao to recruit some people for him.

The Tian Po Army had just been established, and there were no disciples except Chang Lin. He had no choice. In the future, he planned to personally select people and cultivate his own wings. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand for long in this man-eating court.

There were already a lot of official documents piled up in the duty room. Shen Jinyu picked up a pen to approve some, and suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Master Shen, it's me."

At Song Yao's voice, Shen Jinyu put away the official document and said: "Come in."

Song Yao pushed the door open and walked in. He stood at the door and shook the jug in his hand, "I got a new jug of good wine today. The emperor has not been drinking recently, so he had no choice but to come to see you."

Shen Jinyu: "I don't drink it often, either."

"No, if you don't drink, no one will accompany me. It's okay to have a few drinks," Song Yao sat opposite Shen Jinyu, took out a wine glass, filled a glass and placed it in front of him.

The wine was clear and fragrant. Even Shen Jinyu had to secretly sigh at the good wine. He held the glass and took a sip. The wine had a hint of sweetness and was not spicy at all.

"How's it going? Not bad," Song Yao asked after taking a full drink.

"It is indeed a good wine," Shen Jinyu praised heartily.

"I heard that on the day you returned home, His Majesty came to see you and called you eldest brother," Song Yao teased.

"I don't know why, the emperor insists on calling me that," Shen Jinyu had a headache. How could a king of a country call him a minister's eldest brother? Isn't this an act of insanity?

"Don't be surprised. This is His Majesty's normal operation." Song Yao poured another glass and clinked glasses with Shen Jinyu, his eyes seeming to reminisce, "Your Majesty is such a person who attaches great importance to friendship. He is so important. He is what an emperor should be. Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous monarch, but he does not have the ruthlessness and decisiveness that a monarch should have, because he does not like the position of emperor."

Shen Jinyu looked at Song Yao and signaled him to continue.

"I have been His Majesty's book boy since I was six years old. At that time, His Majesty was the youngest prince of the late Emperor. His Majesty has been playful since he was a child. When he was young, he dreamed of being a knight who traveled around the world. He had no intention of becoming the emperor and did not bother to study, because For this reason, His Majesty was not favored at all for a time. In addition, after the death of His Majesty's mother-in-law, he became a transparent person in the palace. But do you think it was fate? In order to fight for the throne, the eldest prince killed himself His three biological brothers, His Majesty escaped because he was too transparent and cowardly. Originally, the throne belonged to the eldest prince, but when he entertained his heroes to celebrate, he drank too much wine, and then called the three A courtesan from a brothel came to serve him, but that night he died on the bed because of his love affair. As soon as the eldest prince died, the late emperor also fell ill, and no one else succeeded to the throne except His Majesty." Song Yao smiled helplessly,

"You can't get what you want, and what you don't want happens to you. Your Majesty has been suffering from this for a long time."

Shen Jinyu: "So that's it,"

"So, don't blame Your Majesty. He is too lonely. Apart from me, he doesn't even have a friend he can talk to in these years. All the empresses in the harem are rushing to be favored by their father and brother. He came for this purpose, not to mention those ministers, so you are the first friend that His Majesty really wants to make besides me, so don’t dislike him,"

"How could it be possible," Shen Jinyu sighed, "but His Majesty's real eldest brother is not me, but Qi Yue. At that time, Qi Yue often secretly scolded Your Majesty with me, saying that he was a pervert, and still worshiped her so much after being beaten. ,"

When Qi Yue was mentioned, Shen Jinyu's eyes became much gentler. Song Yao saw through it and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty is also trying his best to find it. The news that can be obtained so far is that Duan Cang was in Shu a few years ago." There is a yard set up over there, and Duan Mufeng has nowhere to go now, so he will most likely go there. Your Majesty has already notified the state government there to investigate, and the results should be available in a few days."

Shen Jinyu didn't answer, with a sad look on his face. Without Qi Yue's whereabouts, he wouldn't be able to rest assured.

Duan Mufeng ran away, and Qi Yue also lost track of him. The only possibility is that Duan Mufeng kidnapped Qi Yue when he ran away.

It's all his fault, he was the one who lost Qi Yue.

It was already late when Song Yao finished drinking and went back. Shen Jinyu saw Song Yao off, and after approving the last few official documents, he went back to the house. As soon as he entered the door, Fu Sheng greeted him, and Shen Jinyu took off his black velvet. Putting the cloak on Fu Sheng's hand, he asked in a low voice, "Have you finished looking for the person?"

Fu Sheng: "After the search, they are all homeless but strong men. They have been placed in a farmhouse in the suburbs. In a few days, we will ask someone to train them. They are all honest people. I am free. Go check it out when the time comes,”

Shen Jinyu: "Yeah,"

"By the way, a girl named Yue came to you today and said she was your senior sister. She has been waiting in the main courtyard until now," Fu Sheng said, looking at Shen Jinyu's face.

Senior sister named Yue? Yue Ling, what is she doing here?

Shen Jinyu was stunned for a moment and said calmly, "I know, you go down first and I'll go take a look."

"Yes! Master," Fu Sheng walked to the entrance of the main courtyard and refused to go in. His mute daughter-in-law came from the side and gestured and asked: "That girl is so beautiful, is she not the master's sweetheart?"

"Ru Yun, don't talk nonsense," Fu Sheng pulled her away, "This is the master's business. You can't talk nonsense. Don't worry about it."

When Shen Jinyu stepped into the courtyard gate, Yue Ling was standing under a cherry tree in the courtyard, looking at the small green buds and buds that had just sprouted on the branches. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and smiled,

"Jinyu,"

Today she was wearing a moon-white plain dress with cross-collar and wide sleeves, and a red rope and white jade pendant tied around her waist. There were tassel bells hanging from the jade pendant, which made a quiet sound as she walked. She stood far away, gentle and moving, as if A goddess descended from heaven.

Shen Jinyu glanced at her lightly, feeling unmoved. He invited Yue Ling to sit down in the room, poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yue Ling took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Shen Jinyu: "This is the jade pendant Duan Mufeng gave me. I will be your hostage."
