Chapter 515: One Night in Chang'an
After Wang Xie left, Jiang Chengzi felt tired, sat on the footboard next to the bed, and suddenly felt flustered when he thought of Li Ke's matter. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She felt like something should be done.
If the emperor lets him live, he will live, and if the emperor lets him die, he will die.
If Li Ke is safe and sound, the key is Li Shimin's attitude.
Jiang Chengzi thought of Mrs. Qin's words, and couldn't wait to see Li Shimin immediately. So she stood up with a "whoosh", changed her shirt, took out the night clothes in her bag and put them on, and put away the big and small daggers.
But after she had done everything, she did not go out, but stood in the room for a while, and then took off her night clothes and folded them neatly and put them in the package.
Just now, she had a momentary impulse. With his own advantages, he can sneak into the palace quietly and have a good talk with Li Shimin. If the other party really doesn't want to talk, or goes too far, she doesn't mind being the creator of history.
She was once a sword, and she ended the glory of many powerful people. As a sword, what she always needs to wait for is the opportunity to kill, and she is always quick to take revenge.
But now, she has so much to think about.
For example, what if she sees Li Shimin today? What if she convinces him? Even if she makes sure that Li Ke is safe for the time being?
According to the emperor's temperament, Li Shimin will only feel that she and Li Ke are threats, and will get rid of her and Li Ke at all costs, and even get rid of the Yang family's six rooms.
Or, tonight, as a top assassin, she killed him with a sword, but it may not make Li Ke safe and sound, but it will cause political turmoil and displace more people.
The turmoil caused by the assassination of the supreme leader of a country is unpredictable. For example, in the First World War, it was because of the assassination of the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary by an ordinary young man that ignited the flames of war and led to chaos in the world.
She served as the sword of the nation. The sword is unsheathed, invincible, and the assassination is not only the enemy who endangers the people of the country, but also the important task of protecting the stability of the country. Therefore, she better understands what kind of disaster Li Shimin will bring to the world.
The people of this time and space have just taken a breath from the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and she can't ignore the world for her own selfishness. She is a member of the Jiang family, and the ancestors of all dynasties have taken the balance of the world as their own responsibility, throwing their heads and spilling their blood. Even if she has changed her face in time and space now, she must not act arbitrarily in righteousness.
Therefore, she calmed down, changed into her night clothes, stood in the room for a while, and then walked to the door of Lanyue Xiaozhu, and beckoned people to come and ask for hot water for the bath.
After taking a hot shower and changing into loose pajamas, Jiang Chengzi climbed into bed and lay down, listening calmly to the movements around the General's Mansion. The night in the General's Mansion was very quiet, and most of the people were old and weak soldiers and the families of the soldiers who had sacrificed, and they were all silent and silent when they had stories.
Only in the far corner, two mothers-in-law were chatting. One of the mothers-in-law seems to have just brought hot water. She said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Qing, what do you say about that son, Mrs. personally accompanied her for dinner, and let her live in Lanyue Xiaozhu." That Lanyue Xiaozhu is the courtyard that the general personally arranged for his wife!"
"I don't know. Fang just chatted with the concierge and said that the little boy seemed to have brought medicine to the general. Another mother-in-law named Ah Qing replied.
"Ah, it was originally a medicine delivery, but it must have been a good medicine, you see that Mrs. is happy. "The woman from before suddenly realized.
"Alas, the general's injury is a disease of the lady's heart. If the general can be cured, of course Madame will be happy. Ah Qing replied.
"It's just, no. The woman sighed.
"What?" asked Ah Qing as he instructed others to add firewood.
"Lanyue Xiaozhu is Madame's yard. It's always inappropriate for a little boy to live in. The woman replied.
"Yes. Even if you don't live in a guest room, you should live in the courtyard of the three sons. Ah Qing also felt that it was inappropriate.
Although the two mothers-in-law gossiped, they didn't dare to talk about the master's family, so they guessed one or two, and they didn't dare to continue to speculate. Then he changed the topic and chatted about the aristocratic women on the waterside of Chang'an during the Shangsi Festival, which was all beautiful.
Jiang Chengzi didn't have the heart to continue listening to the chatter between the two, so he continued to capture the sounds around him. But the General's Mansion is so quiet, except for all kinds of snoring and snorting, there are only these two night-duty women chatting about all kinds of gossip in the family.
Jiang Chengzi was bored when he heard it, so he pulled the quilt and turned over to sleep. As soon as he fell asleep, he heard Qin Shubao coughing. Mrs. Qin shouted anxiously, "San Lang." β
Qin Shubao coughed twice and said, "I'm sorry, A-Ying, I woke you up." β
"I wasn't asleep. Mrs. Qin whispered, and then asked, "Doesn't it matter to your body?"
"No, after a conversation with Ah Zhi today, I suddenly became enlightened, and now I only feel much better. Qin Shubao said gently, "Moreover, the Tai Chi and the method of breathing, the real person is full of tranquility and a clear state of mind. β
"Is it really such a big effect?" asked Madam Qin curiously.
Qin Shubao chuckled and said, "This is really a magical method. Today, I listened to Ngawang talk about what Mr. Sun said to you, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I thought that you had obtained this good method. β
"You!" Qin Shubao's tone was doting.
"What's wrong with me? You have too little to do with me, you have to try your best to live, accompany me to see the scenery of this world. Mrs. Qin said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll resign tomorrow. Qin Shubao chuckled.
"You've been at home for a long time, but you're confused, and tomorrow is a ten-month vacation. Mrs. Qin said.
When Qin Shubao heard this, he sighed: "I really stayed at home for a long time, and I actually forgot that tomorrow is a day off." β
When Mrs. Qin heard this sigh, her heart tightened again, and she said unhappily: "It seems that you still can't let go." β
"A-Ying, don't mess around, I'm really letting go. Qin Shubao's voice became more and more gentle.
"Hmph, rest, I'll see if you lie to me when you sleep tonight. "Mrs. Qin is coquettish.
Qin Shubao laughed softly a few times and said, "Okay, I will definitely sleep well." β
"Sleep. Mrs. Qin urged.
Qin Shubao suddenly asked her about her conversation with Yang Azhi. Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen, wanting to hear whether the Qin Shubao couple was friend or foe, and what their attitude was towards Li Ke's impeachment.
Mrs. Qin was about to sleep, but when she heard Qin Shubao say this, she sighed.
Qin Shubao was a little anxious and asked, "Does this matter of the concubine make sense? No matter how smart the child is, he will always be upset when it comes to affairs." β
In a few words, he made it clear. This is not a child who drills the horns of the bull, I guess she came to Chang'an, and once Li Ke's impeachment was settled. This kid has his own opinions, after all, the Xiao family was also suspected of calculating the current one. Mrs. Qin praised Jiang Chengzi in her words.
"Since you told her such old things, I don't know how much she can understand. Qin Shubao sighed.
Mrs. Qin was very optimistic about Jiang Chengzi, and persuaded Qin Shubao quite optimistically: "San Lang, don't worry. She claimed to the outside world that she was a teacher of immortals, even if she was not a true teacher of immortals, she was also a person cultivated by the Hongnong Yang family. The genealogy of the Hongnong Yang clan is famous in the north and south, ancient and modern. In my opinion, her calculations for the court's military and people's hearts are no worse than those few. β
"Really?" Qin Shubao was quite surprised.
"Yes. "Mrs. Qin is very determined.
In this way, she can see through it, then this matter will not become a demon in her heart. Qin Shubao breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Qin said again: "This girl is very powerful. I'm afraidβ"
Mrs. Qin stopped when she said this, and Qin Shubao asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"I'm afraid that with her character and ability, she won't obediently stay in the General's Mansion and let the King of Shu fight alone. Madame Qin sighed.
"But the essence of King Shu's matter, can she see it clearly?" Qin Shubao sighed again.
"I'll just say a little bit, and she already knows. Moreover, she also said three things that I think are impossible. I also advised her not to be childish. However, I have been thinking about it all the way back. This girl can put forward the 'Shennong Plan', can help the imperial court establish the Gewu Academy, can quietly and low-key relieve half of the scourge of Longyou Dao, and can set things right in the Hongnong Yang family, what she said is not childish. Mrs. Qin said seriously.
Qin Shubao was curious when he heard it, so he also asked. Mrs. Qin said Jiang Chengzi's previous words to get rid of one of the three border troubles and set things right for the king of Shu.
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she asked, "San Lang, do you also think that this girl doesn't understand military affairs, and she is too naΓ―ve?"
"Tuhun Valley, Turkic, Liang Shidu! This is indeed a miraculous move, and it works well. The King of Shu is not only innocent, but also completely meritorious. This girl, yet, dare to think about it!" Uncle Qin sighed in admiration.
"San Lang, you're also stunned. Now, they are still trying to figure out how to do it, and they are still training their troops. Li Jing, Li Ji, and even Chai Shao are still scratching their heads for these things. Mrs. Qin said.
"You also said that Yang's Azhi is not an ordinary person, and Hongnong Yang's is not just as simple as it seems. Even if it is now the world where the cronies of the Qin Palace's cronies join hands to cage, I am afraid that the objects in the hands of those famous families are beyond our imagination. Qin Shubao said.
And you are right. Mrs. Qin didn't want to think about it. She is really not good at military affairs, she has studied military affairs all these years because she wants to fight side by side with her husband and always protect her husband.
"It seems that tomorrow, I will have to see this girl again. Qin Shubao said.
"Let's see it, it's time for you to rest. Madam Qin proposed. After that, the two talked for a moment, and then there was no more silence. β
Jiang Chengzi waited for a long time, and Qin Qiong and his wife stopped talking, and she relaxed.
After this relaxation, I couldn't help but think of the scene when I was with Li Ke many years later. She thought: It should be as warm and peaceful as Qin Qiong and his wife.
Thinking of Li Ke, Jiang Chengzi's gradual sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She couldn't help but roll over, hugging the slightly peach blossom quilt and thinking: Where is he at this moment, and what is he doing?
Once upon a time, the chic and quiet woman in the late spring night, in the silence, also lingered and sympathetically missed the person in her heart. There was no sleepiness, so Jiang Chengzi took out all the warm bits and pieces with him and went through them in his memory. The more I review these beautiful details, the more warm and happy I feel.
Later, Jiang Chengzi smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. If it weren't for the movement of someone passing through the General's Mansion at a very fast speed that interrupted her to study sweetly, she estimated that she would have to review the bits and pieces of her and Li Ke over and over again for more than a year.
Jiang Chengzi was originally quiet in the good memories, but someone swept past the General's Mansion at a very fast speed, and then turned around and entered the Mansion on the southwest side of the General's Mansion.
Jiang Chengzi was very alert, turned over and got out of bed, dressed neatly at a very fast speed, and took the weapon. Those clothes and weapons are neatly arranged in the right places before bedtime. This has always been her habit as a soldier, even if her soul has worn for thousands of years, it has not changed.
Because of this habit, she responds very quickly.
The man fell into the general's mansion with a very light foot. Jiang Chengzi thought it was Li Ke at first, but after listening carefully, he knew that it was not Li Ke. Because of Li Ke's various footsteps, and even the sound made by Li Ke's body when he passed by, she was familiar with it.
The person who came was a thin stranger, the wind was in the Xun position, the wind speed was level two, this time it was about 700 meters away, and it was coming to the moon at a very fast speed. It seems that this person's target is her.
Jiang Chengzi made a judgment on the person who came in his heart. At the same time, she didn't want to disturb these old and weak soldiers in the general's mansion, let alone disturb the rest of her grandfather and father's idols.
Therefore, she also quickly left the moon building and went in the direction of this visitor.
Both of them were extremely fast, so they met next to a rockery on a Xuanxie platform. The shadow of the tree next to the Xuanxie was swaying, and the subordinates of the General's Mansion placed a street lamp here.
It was here that the two met, both of them covering their faces, both dressed in black. The other party looked at Jiang Chengzi who suddenly appeared, and his steps paused. Almost at the same time, he pulled out his short sword and pointed it at Jiang Chengzi.
Jiang Chengzi covered his face, carried the street lamp on his back, and clenched the fighting blade in his hand, about ten meters away from the man. To kill that person, all you need is one set of actions.
But whether the person who came was friend or foe, or whether it was someone from the General's Mansion, it was not clear, and she couldn't act rashly.
The two confronted each other for a long time, and they didn't change their positions with each other. The man looked at the thin and small figure in front of him, and it seemed that he was still a child who had not grown up. He finally couldn't help but be the first to ask, "Who are you?"
He tried his best to keep his voice low, but Jiang Chengzi could still hear that it was a young man with a clean voice, and this man did not hide his voice. This is clearly an acquaintance.
He visited the general's mansion at night, did he know something?
Jiang Chengzi's heart lifted, remembering what Mrs. Qin had said before that the general's mansion was full of birds, and there was nothing to guard against. She was also negligent in taking care of it, and she didn't check how many family forces were hidden in it. Perhaps, when the general's injuries are healed, she will pull out those hidden chess pieces one by one.
Yes, this is the case with the General's Mansion. Then, as a force that closely monitors the General's Mansion, how could he not know that the General's Mansion is abnormal today!
