Chapter 565: Eyes on the Soul
Back at Qianhua Courtyard, Pan Jiaming lazily slumped on the couch, stretched his waist, and let out a long breath before saying: "The news I just received, that Buhua, the secret history of the Usolan Kingdom, should be the spy we have been looking for for more than three months. ”
"Are you referring to the Han man who came in with those merchants of the Usolan Kingdom and then suddenly disappeared?" Xiao Feng was about to pour tea with his hand paused, "The one who is connected to the Scorpion Guard?"
Pan Jiaming nodded: "It is said that his mother is Han, and he looks like his mother." ”
"If it's him," Xiao Feng put down the teapot and frowned, "Where has he been for so long?"
"I don't know if I was injured, or if I was sick because I didn't adapt to the water and soil, and I went to the medicine gate to seek medical treatment," Pan Jiaming replied, but his tone was obviously not convinced.
Xiao Feng also fell into deep thought: "The secret history of negotiating on behalf of the Great Khan of the Usolan Kingdom...... Disguised as a businessman to enter the country secretly...... Whether it's a real or fake medical treatment...... Disappeared for a while...... reappeared in the capital, but it just coincided with the time received by the imperial court. But this man has something to do with the scorpion guard who robbed the tax silver......"
"Mingzi," Xiao Feng stood up suddenly, "You said that tomorrow's palace banquet will not be ...... What is the conspiracy?" I am most afraid of this kind of internal and external collusion, "Have those scorpions moved recently?"
"I haven't found it yet," Pan Jiaming shook his head, the emblems of the scorpion guard are all on his body, and it is not easy to be exposed, "There is no change in the military camp near the capital, and the fifth battalion in Gyeonggi has already set up a battalion defense, even if there is really any conspiracy in Nabuhua, it can only be poisoning, hidden weapons, etc., but it is not easy, they themselves can't escape, it is of little significance." "Now the five battalions of Gyeonggi are actually under his command, but the emperor still has some things to do for him, so he has not officially taken office. As soon as General Hwajang-teng, who was currently the commander of the Gyeonggi Fifth Battalion, went to the northwest for reinforcements, he would have to take over as soon as possible.
"It's just," Pan Jiaming frowned, "Nabu Hua disappeared for more than two hours after arriving in the capital, whether it was our people or the Jinyi Guard, he seems to know the ninjutsu of the Dongying Island Country." "What matters is, where did he go during those two or three hours, who did he meet, the master of the scorpion guard, or ...... The person behind Mr. Yu? Even, it's the same person at all?
"You say," Xiao Feng clenched his right fist and clicked on the table, "What is the purpose of the sudden dispatch of such a so-called envoy from the Usolan Kingdom? Before the war started, they wanted to give a dismount, and the lion opened his mouth to provoke the emperor? Or did they come over to find out the truth? Since someone colluded with them, did they know that the first batch of reinforcements to the northwest would leave the day after tomorrow?"
Pan Jiaming's whole body was shocked, and he sat up straight, "Do you mean that they want to sabotage the reinforcements? How can they destroy them? Murder the reinforcement generals to undermine morale? Frame certain soldiers to create chaos?"
No, tomorrow he may advise the emperor on this, and he also has to remind Xu Ziqi and Zhang Yihan, both of whom are among the new generals of the reinforcements this time. The end of the world
"No," Pan Jiaming thought more and more, "The emperor summoned the Yin family sisters and brothers to participate in the palace banquet this time, and it also has the meaning of uniting the hearts of the army, and the Usolan Kingdom hates General Yin Zhao to the core, will they target the Yin family sisters and brothers? If that bracelet is really a ghost made by Concubine De and the Li family, they just want to calculate the family affairs of the Yin family, or ...... Is there another conspiracy?" he miscalculated, he should have gotten the bracelet to study if there was anything wrong.
Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly: "Didn't Ziyi say that the bracelet has the logo of Lingyi Temple on it, what can it have to do with the Usolan Kingdom? "It's really a mess if you care, but it's true that tomorrow you have to be careful not to let Nabuhua have a chance to secretly attack the Mingze brothers.
"Yes," Pan Jiaming nodded, "Let's watch." The emperor also has a plan, you don't see that there are few women and female dependents outside the palace banquet, and there are almost no old ladies and gentlemen, "After my aunt became the queen, my grandmother should not have participated in the palace banquet for the first time." The old lady of Zhou Yuqi, the Duke of Dingguo, who is now guarding the northwest, did not participate, and the Duchess of Dingguo and the three girls who have not left the cabinet are on the list of participants. However, the Duchess of Dingguo is also from a family of military generals, and both mother and daughter have been practicing martial arts since childhood.
Thinking of this, Pan Jiaming was suddenly stunned, it is said that Qi Mubai is good at martial arts, although he didn't have the opportunity to confirm it in Changzhou at that time, and he didn't expect to confirm it......
Because they want to enter the palace, Sister Zhiruo got up very early, although walking with the Pan Jiaming brothers and sisters was exempted from queuing at the palace gate and complicated procedures, but there were rumors in the palace that the emperor and queen mother would summon the Zhiruo sisters and brothers in advance to talk to them, so they still had to leave early.
The sisters all wore newly-made feather-blue wide-sleeved Wangxian dresses, which were decorated with pearls embroidered with pearls and scattered small flowers of the same color, which was elegant and noble, neither too plain nor too bright. As for the head jewelry, Zhihui and Zhixuan are embellished with velvet flowers and beads, while Zhiruo is still dominated by silver jewelry and pearls.
The emperor and all the ladies can't lose their grandeur in front of them, so the sisters all put on makeup, and Zhiruo combined modern makeup skills to put on a dignified and gentle Korean makeup for herself, which looks atmospheric, but not charming, nor sharp. This is the first time that Zhiruo has put on makeup since opening his eyes in this life.
Of course, it was also the first time Pan Jiaming saw Zhiruo in costume, and his heart couldn't control his beating at a glance, and he suddenly thought of the eight words he saw in a book one day: Eyes are set on the soul, and you can't speak.
Except for Xiao Feng, who happened to be walking behind Pan Jiaming at this moment, no one noticed that the roots behind Pan Jiaming's ears were quietly red, so red that they seemed to be about to drip blood.
Following Pan Jiaming's line of sight, Xiao Feng also saw Ling'er and the three sisters of the Yin family who were walking over, and the first thing that jumped into his eyes was Zhihui who was holding Ling'er with one hand and Xuan'er with the other.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng seemed to understand the reason why Pan Jiaming's ears turned red. However, how is it possible? He obviously regarded Miss Zhihui as a little sister who looked a little like his mother, and Miss Zhihui was indeed much younger than him, six years old, seven years old? No, no, no, he couldn't think nonsense, the more he thought about it, the farther he went.
Xiao Feng looked away in a hurry, and then, by chance, saw the Song mother and son walking in this direction. Looking at Pan Jiajin's outfit, it seems that he is also ready to enter the palace?
