Chapter 162: Undecided Meng Jiaqian
When Meng Guiyu persuaded Empress Meng to introduce him to the Shu sisters, the Shu sisters once proposed that he take Meng Si'an's life as a vote out of distrust of Meng Guiyu's identity as a disciple of the Meng family.
Meng Guiyu had discussed this matter with Empress Meng, and the two reached an agreement that it was to meet the requirements of the Shu sisters.
However, what Queen Meng didn't know was that Meng Guiyu bargained with the Shu sisters afterwards and finally reached other agreements, so that Meng Si'an is still alive and well.
Meng Guiyu didn't tell the queen about what happened, but Meng Guihan, as his younger brother, was clear.
At this moment, he is worried: "Sixth brother, your contact with Er Shu has become more and more frequent these days, even if Er Shu covers the sky with one hand in the harem, the palace people who know about it dare not talk nonsense." But as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and if you do too much of this kind of thing, it's hard not to spread the rumors!"
"When the time comes, the rest of the people will be fine, but how will the queen explain to her?"
"After all, the queen is the biological daughter of the uncle, even if she is not close to the uncle, she has no good impression of the entire Meng family, but she doesn't get along with us much, and she can't talk about much sincerity. ”
"Once she finds out that we lied to her, she will inevitably give birth to mustard!"
"And the queen has a very good relationship with the county lord of Kangzhao, and when the time comes, she will be angry and seek refuge with the county lord of Kangzhao through the county lord of Mizhen, then?"
Although it is said that after Sheng Weiqiao came out of the cabinet, everyone's title to her changed from "county lord" to "county princess", only friends such as the queen will use the title "Kang Zhao" to call her, but Meng Guihan because the Empress Dowager Meng wanted to match Sheng Weiqiao to Meng Guiyu earlier, and he and Meng Guihuan are also very in favor of this family business, although for various reasons, this matter is not to be said, it has not even been made public.
But Meng Guihan was still reluctant to call Sheng Weiqiao "princess of the county", and insisted on using Sheng Weiqiao's title before leaving the cabinet.
"I kept Meng Si'an before, not because I couldn't bear it or it was inconvenient to deal with him, but mainly because he was still useful. Meng Guiyu noticed his younger brother's wording, his eyes darkened, he knew that Meng Guihan did this, not because he decided that Sheng Weiqiao was his sister-in-law, but because he had lived in an environment where he had been suppressed, bullied and restrained for many years since he was a child, but he watched the other peers of the Meng family live a wanton life.
The people and things that I longed for but couldn't reach in those years, how much I was sad, wronged and unwilling, at this moment, I can only express it with this "Lord of Kangzhao County" instead of "Princess Mizhen County".
After settling down, Meng Guiyu continued, "But his usefulness is only for a while, and he can start in a few days...... The queen is in the palace, and she is not well-informed about the outside world, so I bought the right and left of the eldest aunt before, and asked the eldest aunt to tell the queen the things that the queen is most tired of hearing, so that their mother and daughter will lose harmony. Now that the eldest aunt is locked at home by the eldest uncle, the queen has no intention of summoning the eldest aunt, so it is no problem to hide the queen for the time being. ”
After a pause, he said, "Besides, if the queen only knows that I have been in frequent contact with the Shu sisters recently, it is nothing, just say that I am trying to please them, this kind of thing is not the first time I have done it anyway, and the queen will not be suspicious." ”
In the last sentence, he said very calmly, but Meng Guihan was extremely uncomfortable, he wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but he couldn't think of the right wording, so he was silent for a while, and only said: "Sixth brother, it's good that you have a plan in your heart." ”
Then the brothers had no other topics, and they were relatively silent for a while, and then dispersed.
At this time, their cousin, Meng Jiaqian, was barely controlling the army.
The reason why he said reluctantly was because when he summoned the officers and announced that he would replace Meng Cheng in command of this army and abolish all Gao Jiyi's orders at the same time, although most people chose to remain silent in shock after asking about Meng Cheng's fate.
However, there were a few officers, who were Meng Cheng's robes for many years, and their feelings were very deep, but when they heard the words, they made trouble on the spot, and even the one with the most fierce personality scolded Meng Jiaqian on the spot: "Vice General Meng is loyal to your Meng family, and has always regarded himself as a servant of the Meng family! Now he is just acting on orders, and you disagree with the head of the Gao family, so you have a good time telling the deputy general that the deputy general has always been reasonable, and he may not be able to obey it! As a result, you, a vicious yellow-mouthed child, actually directly killed the killer, and it is simply mad!!
He also said to others, "This little kid has not dried up, but he has only relied on a good family background to get to where he is today, what do you know? On the way from the north to the west, if it weren't for Vice General Meng, he would have died with ten lives, but now he will take revenge like this! You dare to follow such a person? God knows when he will be betrayed!"
Although it is said that because most people are afraid of the Meng family, they still helped Meng Jiaqian to take down this person, and listened to Meng Jiaqian's orders to show him to the public, but this matter is really Meng Jiaqian's fault, and the next atmosphere in the army can be imagined.
However, Meng Jiaqian didn't have time to care about these details at this time, he dragged his seriously injured body and ordered someone to take the map, look at it over and over again in the carriage, and try to speculate what kind of net Rong Sleeping Crane would set up in Yanbodu?
"Although the King of Mizhen County is vicious and cunning, he is young after all, and his background is too shallow. "His subordinates actually didn't quite understand, why did he think that Yanbodu was a place where the sleeping crane set up an ambush, not a place where Gao Yiyi set a trap?
Because of the fate of Meng Cheng and Meng Cheng's supporters, everyone was afraid of Meng Jiaqian at this time, so they didn't dare to question it openly, so they could only knock on the side, "The head of the Gao family came to the Western Xinjiang this time, but he came with the instructions of the grandfather of the country. What's more, the king of Mizhen County is the assassin of Yizhou, and he was previously focused on competing with Ni Jidao and others for the military power of the Western Frontier Army, so I'm afraid that he may not have time to take care of him, right?"
Meng Jiaqian frowned and said: "Although Mi Zhen is young, this person is cunning, and he should not be despised because he is still young!
Everyone heard that he was in a bad mood, and they all chattered for a while, lest they follow in Meng Cheng's footsteps.
It's just that I can't help but slander in my heart: "This guy is scared of Mi Zhen!
"Smoke and Waves...... "Meng Jiaqian is indeed a bit of a soldier, in addition to the shadow of the previous defeat in the hands of Rong Sleeping Crane, in fact, it is also because the recent actions of the Meng family are all presided over by Gao Heyi, he basically doesn't know what the inside story is, or rather, what he knows is what Gao Heyi is willing to tell him.
And the Meng clan colluded with Ru Ru to calculate the sleeping crane, and it was absolutely impossible for the Meng clan to let his own children get involved, otherwise he would not have tried every means to force Gao Heyi to come over.
Therefore, Gao Yiyi didn't say anything to Meng Jiaqian about the key arrangement.
Since Meng Jiaqian, who didn't know anything, didn't know anything about the situation of Yanbodu, and was very jealous of Rong Sleeping Crane, didn't he want to be suspicious?
At this time, he thought, "If I go, Mi Zhen must have a conspiracy! But if I don't go, what if Mi Zhen has a back hand waiting for me?"
The more Meng Jiaqian thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult to play chess, his heart was chaotic, and he was distracted for a long time, and finally noticed the eyes of the people around him looking at him, with surprise and disapproval, the kind of contempt that he had concealed was something he had never seen before.
Because as Meng Boqin's most beloved son, Meng Jiaqian is by no means unlearned. The reason why these people around him came to Western Xinjiang with him, in addition to Meng Boqin's orders, many people are actually optimistic about the future of the fifth grandson of the Meng family.
"They think I'm afraid of Rong Sleeping Crane?!" The Meng family was not stupid, and quickly guessed the reason, that is, he was angry, "How can this be reasonable!! am I a cowardly person!?"
He took a deep breath to suppress his anger, but turned his head and realized, "The reason why I have been looking forward and backward for so long is not because I am afraid of Rong Sleeping Crane?!"
When Meng Jiaqian thought of this, his original anger gradually dissipated, his expression changed for a long time, and finally he drew on the map, and said coldly: "Uncle has been in charge of business affairs for many years, and he doesn't know how to march and arrange formations at all! We have never been to this place at all, even if we have a map in our hands, we can only know a general situation, and this is still in the case that there is not much difference between the map and the actual place. In this way, the terrain alone, we can't say that we will suffer!"
"But since my uncle has probably already led people to set up an ambush over there at this time, I can't leave him behind!"
"Continue to Yanbodu!"
"But don't go to the place where my uncle said before to set up an ambush, but go to ...... Here!"
The place he pointed to was a position that could be advanced and retreated after looking at the map for a long time, and it was a long way from the place designated by Gao Heyi before, but it was accessible in all directions, unless there were several times more people from the Rong Sleeping Crane Sect than them, and they were all at the level of the Northern Frontier Army, otherwise it was never said that they could be surrounded and annihilated.
Someone wanted to persuade him a few words, because this place was convenient for retreat, but there were no valuable strategic points around, and it was obvious that the place where the ambush was set up was not nearby. In this way, if Gao Heyi needs support, it may not be in time.
However, when his eyes touched Meng Cheng's corpse not far away, he suddenly fell silent again.
…… When Sheng Weiqiao was woken up by the Feng family, he was confused for a moment, and only then did he react at the end, and when he got up, he asked, "Auntie, have they found the way?"
"Look at the time for yourself, it's only early in the morning, the soldiers who went to find the guide nearby are only afraid to set off!" Xuan Yu Feng frowned, "You get up first, no matter what the result is when you ask later, someone will come to tell us." When the time comes, someone will ask, "Oh, the princess hasn't gotten up yet?" What time has it been? Think about it yourself, does it sound good?"
Sheng Wei Qiao said stupidly: "Isn't this that no one has come yet?"
The aunt and nephew quarreled a little, and after freshening up, Yi Shan went to get breakfast, which was still the handwriting of the chef of the Assassin's Mansion, and the soldiers in the army helped to heat it, although the taste was far inferior to when it was freshly baked in the Assassin's Mansion, but compared to the cold, hard and tasteless military food, it was much better.
"If you can't find the road for a while, take a detour, I'm afraid you'll really have to abandon the car and ride a horse. After breakfast, let Yi Shan take out the braised unicorn noodles that were barely moving, Jusheng Nu, and single-cage golden milk crisp and distribute them to the nearby soldiers, Xuan Yu Feng frowned, and said, "How do you feel yourself?
Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while and said, "I don't feel any discomfort now, it's the same as when I wasn't pregnant." ”
"You were born full-term, and you were not infirm or sickly. Xuan Yu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Your pair of twenty-four filial fathers and mothers have always been concerned about your body, and the nourishing things of the four seasons have never been broken, so don't look at the appearance that you have been raised in the boudoir, you don't have to worry about everything, and you have no power to restrain the chicken. ”
She said this just to appease Sheng Weiqiao, so as not to make the niece feel sad.
Because even if Sheng Weiqiao's health is really good, he is not good enough to be talented. Now that she is pregnant, if the situation forces her to ride a horse, Xuan Yu Feng doesn't know what will happen?
However, for her, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiqiao's child, she must have chosen Sheng Weiqiao.
Therefore, if the situation is not good and the army needs to move quickly, Xuan Yu Feng still hopes that Sheng Weiqiao can take the risk of riding a horse and keep up with the team.
"It's natural. Sheng Wei Qiao bowed his head and said, "Auntie, don't worry, haven't you always said that I am deeply blessed? ”
The aunt and nephew comforted each other for a while, and Xuan Yu Feng remembered it, so he said: "In that case, let's check the things we bring with us again, shall we? See what carriages can bring, but it is inconvenient to carry on horseback? Don't be in a hurry at that time, lose important things, even if we escape by ourselves, we will regret it in the end." ”
Sheng Weiqiao thought it made sense, so he asked Yishan to go to the carriage to pick up the packages, check them one by one, and then clean them up again.
As a result, she packed up, and suddenly shouted to Yishan: "You just saw these two packages in the carriage, and you didn't see anything else?"
Yi Shan hurriedly said: "The slave maid checked it when she took the package, and there is nothing else." ”
"How come?" Sheng Weiqiao said confusedly, "I have something missing!"
